Pearl Jam - 1992-08-22 - Porch

This video of Pearl Jam was taken at the Lollapalooza show in Miami, August 22nd, 1992.
(It was the day before Hurricane Andrew slammed into south Florida and did it's best to wipe Homestead and large portions of Miami off the map.)

What an incredible concert.
Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Ministry, and The Red Hot Chili Peppers all in one afternoon.
I can still feel the waves of energy surging out from the stage when PJ turned on their amps.
I don't think I've seen anything quite like it before or since:  that raw, explosive force of unbridled emotion ripping out across the fairgrounds.  It was electrifying.  I was aware I was seeing something so rare and special that I might not ever see again.
The crowd moved and swayed like high tide at the ocean with little eddies of mosh pits swirling uncontrollably around the stage.  There was a strange mad beauty in all of it.

It was the last time I was in Miami until today.
Brought back a lot of memories.

WATCH: Jack Nicholson Interrupts Jennifer Lawrence Interview

I've been telling you folks for the past couple months what a great movie Silver Linings Playbook is and how completely charming the leads, Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence, were.
Even Robert DeNiro stopped being Robert DeNiro for a few minutes and seemed like a real character.
It's very much worth seeing.
So I was glad to see that Lawrence won the Oscar for her part.
She fell on her way to the podium to accept the award and then she had the exchange below with Jack Nicholson during her post-win interview which kinda makes her even more charming.
She seems a bit more like a real person having genuine reactions than most of other actors/artists/courageousmodelactresswaitresses that were nominated/you see almost anywhere else.
Good grief, I can't imagine the horror of living in Anne Hathaway's swath of hystrionical arrogance right now.

We're off to Miami to work for a week so I may not have a chance to post much in the next few days.
We're doing a lot of custom "frosted" film installs these days so I thought I'd put a few pictures of the type of work we've been up to.

Cats Have Been Walking All Over Us for Centuries

Neetzan Zimmerman

Medievalist Emir O. Filipovic was flipping through fifteenth century manuscripts at the State Archives in Dubrovnik, Croatia — your average light reading — when he came across something rather remarkable on one of the pages: Feline paw prints.
Filipovic's discovery lay dormant until it was picked up by book historian Erik Kwakkel, who was in turn brought to the attention of the public by "America's Veterinarian" Dr. Marty Becker.
"Has your cat ever walked across your keyboard?" asks Dr. Becker on his Facebook page, where the image has been shared thousands of times. "Well, it's not a new problem. Medieval book historian Erik Kwakkel recently Tweeted this photo of a 15th century book with... you guessed it... cat paw prints in ink on the pages! We're part of a long and glorious historical movement, friends."
As if you needed any additional proof that cats have always been assholes.

Inside Llewyn Davis

 A new Coen Bros. movie!

'Inside Llewyn Davis', is the story of a folk singer ala Bob Dylan who has a cat.

That's pretty much all I know so far, except that it's a Coen Bros. movie and they have a long, rich history of putting awesome on celluloid.

Raising Arizona - Nick Cage before he got all Nick Cage-y.
Barton Fink - an early introduction into the wonderful John Turturro
Miller's Crossing - I still argue this is one of THE finest gangster movies ever made and Gabriel Byrne plays such a perfect S.O.B. it's hard not to love his character for being so completely himself.
Quote from Miller's Crossing from Gabriel Byrne's love interest:
"I never met anybody who made being a son of a bitch such a point of pride."
Plus, more Turturro.
Fargo - between this movie and Laurel Canyon I had such a crush on Frances McDormand.
You didn't see Laurel Canyon!?!
McDormand, Christian Bale, Kate Beckinsale?
Jeez!  Where you been, man?
The Big Lebowski - proof that Hollywood is a collection of gay pot-smokers (nttatwwt) is in the fact that Jeff Bridges did not win the Oscar for his incredible portrayal of "the Dude" or El Dude-irino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.
Oh Brother Where Art Thou - Clooney did his best acting in this retelling of Homer's Odyssey.
No Country for Old Men - so much better than that effeminate Daniel Day Lewis in There Will Be Blood - that movie was so over-hyped.  A two hour study on what a prick some oil tycoon was.  Shocking.
True Grit - Jeff Bridges with an eye patch?  How can you not be in love with this guy!?!
And the girl, Hailee Steinfeld, who played Mattie Ross, was just remarkable.
Plus, a hilarious scene in which Matt Damon spanks the girl for getting out of line.

Also, I found this and wanted to use it.  So there.

I keep telling you that life is funny but I don't think you really believe me.
Fair enough.
I don't believe me much either.
It's part of the negative stigma of being "El Pinche Pirata".
Yes.
I know.
There is, in fact, a downside.

But this morning was a nice, "Ain't life funny" moment.

I had to meet a client at Emory Hospital to drop off film samples.
OK.
Not particularly funny so far.
Give me a sec' here, will ya'!

As I stood in the main hospital lobby, I recalled that this particular client I met during that time I was going thru "the great 'oma scare of 2005/2006" and was there at Emory Hospital quite a lot.
But, I also remembered that on the precise day that I was to have my first brain surgery, "the Amazing" was in another part of the hospital meeting with this client to discuss a film installation in an addition to.......
.......wait for it......
..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................the new neurology/neurosurgery area.

Yeah.
I know.
You ARE freakin' out, man!

I mean, seriously, what are the chances that you find yourself working on and being worked on at the very same neurosurgery center at almost precisely the same moment!?!

I'm no math/physics major (looking at you, Deucey) but I gotta think those odds are less than 2-to-1.
Just a hunch.


And, because UPMC, where I had my 2nd and 3rd surgeries, recently called to request my most current MRI for ongoing research into survivability of chordoma patients, I decided to pop into Emory's Winship Cancer Center/Radiation Oncology Department to say Hi to the nice ladies who cooked my brain for me.

I got to see Willene, one of the nicest nurses/techs that I had the good fortune to be assigned in all of my treatments anywhere.
We had not seen each other since I finished being zapped at the end of September of 2006.
8 weeks of going to the hospital everyday to have your brain microwaved.

Little secret they don't tell ya':  you can smell your brain cooking.
It's a weird smell and you will not forget it.

Not that pleasant really - nothing that's ever going to get put in a votive candle, that's for sure.
Kind of a mixture of plastic and liver.



But anyhoo.....
Willene remembered me after 5 intervening years of patients, which is pretty darn remarkable, and gave me a big hug and a kiss on the cheek and giant smile.
Somehow, all that from the little dynamo who helped keep me around a bit longer meant a lot today.
It was nice.

Now that I'm sitting here typing this out another sort of odd coincedence comes to mind.
I have been in negotiations for what is one of the largest contracts we've ever done.
The same company hired us back in 2006 to do what was then our biggest contract to that point.
We got the go ahead for the install between the brain surgeries and the radiation treatments.
I worked the guys and myself like dogs to get the job done early so I could start treatments with an easy mind as I was really worried that I might not have a good response to treatment.
Fortunately, I was one of few who had very little side effects at all from the radiation.
But, I still finished a month long project in a little over 2 weeks.
It was a good payday.

The Lufthansa Heist of 1978

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lufthansa_heist

I was thinking of that story last night b/c I was up late listening to Adam Carolla interview Nick Pileggi.

Nick Pileggi wrote the Henry Hill story which was published as the book, Wiseguy.

That book became one of the best movies ever made - Goodfellas.

And the Lufthansa Heist is a major plot point in the movie, not to mention the fact that it resulted in the deaths of lots of folks, on and off screen.

It's a pretty fascinating story.

The short version goes like this:

A guy owes money to the mob for gambling debts.

He knows when Lufthansa brings large amounts of unmarked cash into the U.S.

Mob guys show up and take millions of dollars.

The FBI figures out pretty quick who is likely involved.

Everybody even remotely involved starts getting very dead - including a guy who was, like in the movie, butchered and left in a meat cooler.

The end.

A look at American culture with special focus on American cinematography and in particular western's of the 1950's and '60's and their historical progeny, and a close examination of the "Die Hard" franchise and the iconic catch-phrase, "Yippie-Ki-Ya, Motherf#*#$er"

Yippee-Ki-Yay ...
The greatest one-liner in movie history.

By Eric Lichtenfeld|Posted Friday, Feb. 15, 2013, at 3:10 PM

Illustration by Deanna Staffo

The latest installment of the Die Hard franchise, A Good Day To Die Hard, opened in theaters this week. The reviews have been mostly negative: In her write-up, Slate film critic Dana Stevens calls the film “sclerotic” while Stevens, Chris Wade, and Alice Tynan take turns panning the film in their Slate Spoiler Special. But to honor the franchise’s better days, we reprint Eric Lichetenfeld’s article from 2007, in which he celebrates one of the most memorable cinematic one-liners of all time.

On the city streets of America, buses have been displaying a strange ad. No art, just white print on black, a slogan stranded between English and gibberish: "Yippee Ki Yay Mo—." Although the line is not spelled the way it's pronounced, it's still recognizable as the first half of a well-known action-movie one-liner. The ad is teasing the June 27 release of Live Free or Die Hard. Since the Die Hard franchise, and its catchphrase, have been absent from the screen for 12 years, a question arises: do the words "Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker" still matter? And why did they resonate in the first place?

Advertisement

First heard in the original Die Hard in 1988, "Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker," is one of the many one-liners that have graced the action film, a body of work not known for its strong verbal tradition. Indeed, the delivery of the one-liner ranks among the most cherished rites of this ritualistic genre. Whether a quip, catchphrase, or callback to an earlier installment in a franchise, one-liners, even at their corniest, provoke the same glee as the most pyrotastic action sequences.

Many one-liners are bad, if treasured, puns (Arnold put his stamp on "You're fired" long before Donald did). Others display a wit that we might grudgingly concede ("Barbeque, huh? How do you like your ribs?"). The one-liner is also remarkably versatile. It spans the grandiose ("I'm going to show you God does exist"; "I'm your worst nightmare") to the minimalist ("Get off my plane"; "Whoah"). It ranges from the functional ("Dead or alive, you're coming with me") to the iconic ("Go ahead … make my day"). And while some are uninspired ("It's time to die"), others are absurd ("I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass—and I'm all out of bubble gum"), self-referential ("No sequel for you"), and sardonic ("Go ahead … I don't shop here").

The 1980s were the golden age of the one-liner, with the films of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Chuck Norris, and Clint Eastwood, and the ascension of such screenwriters as Steven E. de Souza and Shane Black, who penned many of the decade's high-concept action and buddy movies (Die Hard, Commando, and Lethal Weapon chief among them). Yet, like many action film conventions, the one-liner has roots in other genres. In the landmark Western The Searchers (1956), John Wayne growled, "That'll be the day," prompting Buddy Holly to immortalize the catchphrase in a hit single the following year. And not only did the James Bond franchise give us "Bond—James Bond," but lines such as "Shocking! Positively shocking!"; "He had to fly"; and "He got the boot" prove that Bond also gave action films their penchant for punning. Throughout the series, Bond's cheeky dialogue defuses the emotion of a given scene, just as the one-liner does throughout the action genre.

Such glibness lays bare the action hero's core reticence. "I ain't got time to bleed," insists Predator's Jesse Ventura, who would repurpose the line for the title of his book, I Ain't Got Time To Bleed: Reworking the Body Politic From the Bottom Up.Less quoted but even more germane is the declaration by Road House's Patrick Swayze, "Pain don't hurt." A contradiction, yes, but one that defines both the action hero and, more literally, one of the genre's most iconic roles: the title character of The Terminator.

That 1984 movie inaugurated Arnold Schwarzenegger's signature, "I'll be back." In this case, the one-liner is funny only in hindsight, as the cyborg comes right back, fully armed and with a pickup-truck-of-mass-destruction to boot. Reversing the typical action-sequence structure, the quip is the set-up, the violence is the punch line. There is nothing especially remarkable about "I'll be back" (it is not, after all, Cobra's "You're the disease, and I'm the cure," a line noted by the press six months before the film's 1986 opening). Even so, "I'll be back" distills the action movie's ritualistic appeal. The pleasure of hearing it said from movie to movie is the same as hearing a story told time after time.

Most one-liners articulate the hero's self-regard (or in Harry Callahan's case, regard for his .44 Magnum), and why shouldn't they? The action genre is primarily an exercise in hero-worship. But Die Hard's wisecrack is remarkable for how it refers not to one hero but to a tradition of heroism. It is a line born of pride, not of ego.

When terrorist-slash-exceptional thief Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) taunts hero John McClane (Bruce Willis), "Who are you? Just another American who saw too many movies as a child?" and asks this "Mr. Cowboy" if he really thinks he stands a chance, McClane's answer—"Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker"—marks the moment that McClane, an everyman, assumes the mantle of America's archetypal heroes: Roy Rogers, John Wayne, Gunsmoke's Marshall Dillon, and others who have been so vital to American boyhood. Unlike the many action-movie one-liners that are rooted in the hero's narcissism, McClane's stems from our collective wish-fulfillment. He is not referring to himself, not suggesting an "I" or a "me" but an us. And considering the European Gruber's appreciation of fashion, finance, and the classics, McClane's comeback acquires an additional subtext: Our pop culture can beat up your high culture.

In John McClane's stance, there lies a bravado that bridges two American traditions. "Yippee-ki-yay" summons America's mythic, gunfighter past, while "motherfucker" belongs to the modern action movie. Seen in this light, the line also recalls the macho cinema of the 1970s, when Clint Eastwood, Charles Bronson, and Don Siegel helped create the action genre while continuing to trade in Westerns.

A quarter of the line (or half, depending on how you count) is profane, and yet "Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker" is actually a delicate wisecrack. Underscoring the line's bridging of generations is the symmetry of its construction. On either side of the comma, past and present each get four syllables. This balance is manifested in the evenness of Willis' first—and best—delivery of the line. Subtly, he eases off "fucker," the word that, by virtue of its syntactical position, and its very nature, we might expect to land hardest on our ears. That Willis does not employ the same deftness in the sequels is a pity. The phrase is most effective not as a buildup to some hammer punch, but as one seamless unit of defiance.

With Die Hard 2: Die Harder (1990) and Die Hard With a Vengeance (1995), "Yippee-kai-yay, motherfucker" transformed from a one-liner to a catchphrase. It has also been lampooned by celebrities including Ice-T and Dr. Joyce Brothers, parodied by Ben Stiller, and, more recently, commemorated in song. Now, for the franchise's fourth installment, the line has become an advertising slogan, standing less for the continuity of American heroism than for the continuity of the Die Hard brand. (With wry religiosity, the ads attribute "Yippee Ki Yay Mo—" to "John 6:27," referring to McClane's June 27 return.) In contrast, early in the third film's campaign, Fox trumpeted the movie with the line "McClane Is Back." Whereas the character was then the primary draw, his catchphrase has since become an independent asset.

The marketing value of "Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker" may not equal that of Bruce Willis, but then, the line is an eight-syllable phrase, not an international superstar. Its role in the new film's advertising testifies that "Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker" continues to excite our nostalgia—no longer for a distant, heroic past, but for the line itself and the movie era from which it sprang. This marks the improbable distance "Yippee-ki-yay …" has traveled: from a wisecrack to a trademark to the hallmark of a genre.

'I chase him, I bite him'... the crime report written by a DOG: Officer investigated after submitting witness statement in character as animal

Police are under investigation for jokingly filling in a witness statement in the name of a force dog.
Officers became exasperated when prosecutors asked for an account of a crime from a ‘PC Peach’, not realising Peach was the name of a police dog.
So they completed the form as if it had been written by the alsatian, and signed it with a paw print.
The dog’s statement read: ‘I chase him. I bite him. Bad man. He tasty. Good boy. Good boy Peach.’
The form was pinned up at a West Midlands Police station last week for the amusement of colleagues, who are often at odds with the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) over the handling of cases.
Another officer took a photo of the statement and it found its way to a ‘cop humour’ page on Facebook on Friday.
The image was later deleted but the dog section of a different force, West Yorkshire, enjoyed it so much they posted the image on Twitter in a tweet that was shared more than 150 times.
The CPS, however, failed to see the funny side. Officials are believed to have complained to police that their mistake has been turned into a very public joke.
This is being considered  by West Midlands Police’s Professional Standards Department and the officer who shared the picture, PC Mark Tissington, referred himself to the internal discipline unit. Sources say he is unlikely to be reprimanded.
DCI Julian Harper, from West Midlands Police, said: 'The Professional Standards Department is looking into this, early enquiries suggest it is a light-hearted exchange as a result of a misunderstanding around a police dog and a police officer.  The matter will be investigated.'
It comes just a week after The Mail on Sunday revealed new guidelines for police on the safe use of the internet, which advise officers against sharing ‘operational material’ online.

The CPS declined to comment.

I found a couple of blogs/websites that I rather like recently and thought I would share with you folks.

Ms. X turned me onto this one with her email about the Bodini painting found in a Parisian apartment.
(Thank you!)

http://parisapartment.wordpress.com/

From there I stumbled onto:

http://shedhome.blogspot.com/   ( Which is not about "sheds" at all really.)

http://www.theanimalifarm.com/Animali/  There has been a lot of news about horses lately, and most of it not good.  Particularly, if you are a horse.  These folks rescue and find homes for horses that might otherwise be eaten.
If you have the spread, why not add a horse?
Really they're just big dogs when you think about it.
Dogs you can ride!

I also really like this one, http://mypeartreehouse.blogspot.com/p/about-my-pear-tree-house.html, by Jane in Melbourne, Australia.
Her post about dealing with breast cancer is very thoughtful.
I even emailed her to tell her so.

And, I would be remiss if I didn't mention this one, http://www.habitat.org/

A great photo of a rescued hawk by Florida photographer Bob Croslin.

Quote from Discover Magazine:

Bob Croslin has been taking injured birds he's found to the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary on Florida's Gulf Coast for the past twenty years. The Florida-based photographer wanted to help the local sanctuary that relies on volunteers for much of the daily work. He volunteered to photograph the birds with the idea of raising money for the sanctuary and encouraging awareness of the dangers the birds face due to human enrichment into their hunting and nesting grounds. While making the photographs, Croslin tried to capture the individuality of each bird while showing the bird's injury at the same time. Over three months he worked side-by-side with handlers to photograph the injured birds. He describes how the series Grounded: Winged Survivors of Florida’s Gulf Coast came about:

"Back in February I started a project making portraits of injured birds at the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary. Every Wednesday I would show up and photograph a bird or two never knowing what kind of bird and if I’d even come away with an image. I’d set up lights and a back drop and cross my fingers. Birds, like humans, don’t like to be in a new environment and would immediately run for the exit. Add a camera and several lights and inevitably we were corralling birds – no easy feat because several of the birds were still flighted. I can’t count how many times I was told by a sanctuary volunteer that there was no way I’d be able to photograph a particular bird – especially the shore birds. Every time I’d make an image that would blow them away. Nothing like a challenge to bring out the best in me."

Ms. X sent me this fascinating link yesterday.

An apartment in Paris that was unoccupied and untouched since World War II was finally examined after the owner's death.
Turns out that owner was the grand-daughter of a famous Parisian actress who was the muse of the great painter Boldini (amongst others including the Prime Minister).
There in Paris, sat an entire collection of fascinating antiques, including an original Mickey Mouse doll, and a stuffed ostrich, was a painting never even known to exist.  Now it is estimated to be worth 2.1 million euros.

Nice fiind.

Yes.
I've already told you how I heart The Adam Carolla Podcast a million times but today's episode with writer David Wild and comedian Jay Mohr is hilarious.  I had to stop and rewind several times to catch the parts I was laughing over.

Especially funny:
Adam and Jay doing a bit on the scarves of Johnny Depp and Jay Mohr commenting that Steven Tyler of Aeorsmith now looks like a Bond villain's cat.

Also, surprisingly like Melissa Rivers.

Bourdain, Brown And Blondie at The Clermont Lounge On Layover

You read that right!
Anthony Bourdain at The Clermont Lounge with Blondie.
It's like Abraham Lincoln meeting George Washington.
Only instead of crossing the Delaware to kick a little British butt George Washington is crushing beer cans with his boobs.
Other than that, no difference at all.

Last year I went to The Clermont Lounge with Ms. X and friends.
I woke up the next morning facing the wrong way on my bed, surrounded by dollar bills.

It was a good night.







For you newbies to The Clermont Lounge Experience, remember the first and most important rule of The Clermont Lounge:
A.)  Never, ever, EVAR, drink anything that doesn't come in a sealed container.
B.)  "The Source of the Trouble" is permanently and forever forbidden to enter the premises of The Clermont Lounge on pain of death (mine).
C.)  Pretty much everything else goes.

Well, on a positive note, that article about the meat in your lasagna being horse, was wrong.
