Don Stockbauer says, "It's just a movie," and Sean Delgado once told
me, "Well if you would just stop disrupting the place, and being so
psychotic, and just talk about the movies" -- he said something like
that, after he had left messages on my parents' answering machine
saying he was going to kill me, with two friends of his giggling --
and I had answered and cried. So I am supposed to talk about Stanley
Kubrick movies, and I'm not supposed to talk about his movies.

I thought maybe that Revlon ad was interesting. I liked the editing.
Stanley Kubrick liked TV commercials. He said so. So I thought maybe
it was interesting. I don't know. I liked it. Sorry.

I also liked the Justin Bieber stuff. I like that cover of the
Cardigans song, actually.

And then, you know, as I was typing that last one about Eyes Wide Shut
and doppelgangers -- I mean it's been like seven years since I've
legitimately tried to bring up a thread here about his movies -- but
then I was thinking as I was typing, "Well Don Stockbauer is going to
respond with something that isn't a response, something like 'it's
just a movie, lighten up.' " And he doesn't realize the intentional
humor or comedy that I insert in almost everything I right, It's HIM
that needs to lighten up. Not me. Never me. I may be mad a lot, and
threatening to kill a bunch of people in Bangladesh, but you know in
your right mind I ain't gonna be going to that country, and doing
that. Come on. You know that. Don't you?

Maybe?

Whatever the case, I did meet interesting people in jail last year
after throwing a fit at the Wal-Mart on Pleasant Hill near my old
house. I enjoyed the confrontation with the police officers. I was
amused when they actually started to go on their guard when I
mentioned I used to take Tae Kwon Do. They really did. That caused one
of them to actually put his hand on his gun.

I thought it was funny! You know, I'm psycho. I'm probably like
matthew Lllard or whatever in the movie Scream, the first one. I'm
probably like him. Laughing too much,.

You know the type. They're crazy.

But anyway, damned if I do, damned if I don't, I just wanted to state
for the fact that I'm not supposed to write about Stanley Kubrick's
movies here on alt.movies.kubrick since not only is it the year 2011
and no one in their right mind even glances at new newsgroup posts,
but... but!!! ... uhh well there doesn't need to be any more but.
that's enough. But there is. There is a but. And that but is...
that... uhmmm.. of course I lose my train of thought .

Well, Matt, this is the way feedback works, you voiced your objections
to what I wrote, and now I have the option to continue the argument or
to let up, and it does seem like you have a legitimate complaint
against me so I'll go the lighen up route, and best wishes to you.

oh I don't that much. Check out this cool-ass conversation from Sept
2001!

I can't believe I saved this stuff. but I found a bunch of old CD-Rs
in my closet which were kind of resurrected after the move to this new
house but i'm just now looking at them. They were in a plastic baggy
and had lot of old music on them,pictures, etc., but also AIM
conversations.

From Peter tonguette, the writer on Orson Welles, and other websites,
film critic... he's a pretty good guy. Hates my guts of course, so
here is an old quickie from him:


stalepie: I'll be impressed if you can come up with a worthy reply to
Dahlquist's response to your Economics essay =)
Ptonguette: Yeah, what a response!
Ptonguette: This new group is so great :)
stalepie: Yeah I'm impressed with it so far
stalepie: Alexander really going to post?
Ptonguette: Even Ervin's stuff seems improved. (I liked his message in
the "Self-reflection" thread)
stalepie: me too
Ptonguette: He sent out a private e-mail to the original seven saying
he is.
stalepie: The Original Sevem
stalepie: n
Ptonguette: Bilge, Faisal, Mark, Tobasco, Rod, Peter, Gordon
stalepie: It could make a great movie
stalepie: A great western
Ptonguette: That's right up Robb's alley
Ptonguette: And Bilge saw Malick in person... jesus, New York is a
great city.
stalepie: heh yeah
Ptonguette: I also vastly prefer receiving these message via e-mail
than wrestling with this pathetic AOL newserver I have.
Ptonguette: messages
stalepie: I'm gonna have to be a lurker.
Ptonguette: Your post in the Pook thread was good, informative :)
Ptonguette: Just today we've got more interesting posts than the past
month on AMK, it feels like. There's something about this venue that
is appealing.
stalepie: Yes
stalepie: It is good to see you excited
Ptonguette: We have Bilge to thank for taking the initiative. :)
Ptonguette: That sleeveless t-shirt that Sgt. Hartman is wearing as
Pyle guns him down is really badass.
stalepie: ha
Ptonguette: "GET BACK IN YOUR BUNKS!!"
stalepie: That's his pajamas.
Ptonguette: It's a cool look when matched with that hat he's wearing.
Ptonguette: Great coverhttp://images.amazon.com/images/P/02625312
83.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
Ptonguette: He's really good with covers :)http://images.amazon.com/
images/P/089608535X. 01.LZZZZZZZ.gif
Ptonguette: brb
stalepie: Yeah I really like that minimalist program one
stalepie: Is Power and Prospects the kind of human nature I'm
interested in?
Ptonguette: Kubrick could really have done great book covers :)
Ptonguette: That's one of his I've not read, so I can't say.
stalepie: Does he write much on human nature?
stalepie: What perspectives would he take? Political human nature/
Ptonguette: Well, he touches on it extensively by virtue of his work
in linguistics and innate grammar. He believes that our innate
capacity to learn grammar and be creative means that the best possible
society would be one which allows for free exploration of these innate
capacities. I can't think of any books he's written that deal
specifically with "human nature," although he wrote a long essay
refuting Skinnerism, which was the theory that we are born as blank
slates and can be molded any which way.
stalepie: All right I see, thank you
Ptonguette: My pleasure :)
stalepie: Yes I remember he wrote an anti-Skinnerism essay
stalepie: back in I think the 60s
Ptonguette: WRT AI, he finds it interesting that we ask "Can machines
think?" but not "Can submarines swim?" ;)
Ptonguette: Yes, in the late '60s I believe... very famous
stalepie: Does "apropos" mean the same as "WRT"?
Ptonguette: I don't know
stalepie: Does Kubrick have heroes in his work?
Ptonguette: We'd have to come up with a strong definition of that
term. If by hero we mean someone we root for or identify with blindly
- as in a good vs. evil scenerio - no.
stalepie: Oh, I was thinking more in the mythological sense
Ptonguette: I'm still not sure.
stalepie: Are our myths mostly hero-based?
stalepie: If they are, why?
Ptonguette: I think so, yes.
Ptonguette: Perhaps because myths also at one time served as kind of
moral guides... and the reader needed someone good to identify with
and extract a moral lesson from.
Ptonguette: Like the Icarus myth... very clear moral point there.
stalepie: Yeah but why do we feel compelled to retell and retell hero-
based stories. We do it to this day of course. Some of our genres, in
a way, are possibly mythological types. That is, the hero of a
thriller may be in a broad sense the same hero in every thriller, the
"hero of a thousand faces"
Ptonguette: Yes
stalepie: And by retelling the same genre-story over and over, we are
just retelling, broadly, the same hero story over and over.
stalepie: Am I pointing out the obvious?
Ptonguette: I agree, yes. How does Kubrick fit into this though? Can
someone like Bill be seen, even broadly, as a hero?
stalepie: I don't think they can, no
Ptonguette: He's the main protagonist, the guy we follow... but "hero"
has such specific connotations in my mind.
Ptonguette: I agree
stalepie: I see Bill's characters as nonrepresentational everymen
emboding themes, ideas, or even serving as examples.
stalepie: Heh, rather, I see Kubrick's characters....
Ptonguette: Agreed 100%
stalepie: what do I mean exactly by nonrepresentational? I'm not quite
sure
stalepie: It is important in my mind that clearly Bill is a husband,
and clearly Alice is a wife, and one if highly masculine and one is
highly feminine.
Ptonguette: They are specific characters?
stalepie: *is not if
stalepie: Kubrick would never make a movie with a "specific" character
that has a specific disease or other idiosyncratic markers
stalepie: Perhaps I should bring this up on Kubrick Net?
Ptonguette: Sure, it's interesting... I think I agree with your
conclusions, but some outside opinions are always benefitial.
Ptonguette: Don't worry about wording it perfectly... just bring the
topic up for debate
stalepie: I really don't know the language.
stalepie: What kind of characters are the ones in Short Cuts?
Ptonguette: This is one of those IM questions you love that is going
to take me 10 minutes to answer ;)
stalepie: You don't have to respond.
stalepie: You could just go "Matt, I think you just need to read some
more fiction or something."
Ptonguette: I honestly have not thought about defining them in terms
of types before. I'm tempted to say that, on the one hand, I think the
characters are highly specific. On the other, I think he is attempting
to present an economic cross-section of people - thus, the characters
are representative of people in various economic/social positions.
stalepie: All right
stalepie: I like that last sentence
Ptonguette: Thanks :)
stalepie: Hehe, I have this nice picture of Red Cloak performing the
ceremony thing, with the extended ceiling not found on the home
version, and I was considering posting it to the group in the "files"
section with like the described alluding to Kubrick Net =)
stalepie: *description
Ptonguette: heh... that's pretty funny ;)
Ptonguette: I remember the time about a year and a half ago where you
said all of the serious regulars - me, Dahlquist, Thornhill - should
get together for one of those ceremonies :)
Ptonguette: This was before you knew me, I think.
stalepie: hehe yeah
stalepie: I think that'd be fun
Ptonguette: I was flattered that you mentioned me with GD, so I recall
printing that out
stalepie: There, uploaded some pictures
Ptonguette: Isn't showing up yet, but I will check back in a little
while :)
Ptonguette: Kubrick Net rules!
stalepie: =)
Ptonguette: I've got to catch up on e-mail and a few other misc.
things... so we'll talk later. Hopefully I will be able to work up a
reply to Dahlquist that isn't too pathetic in comparison :)
stalepie: hehe all right.
stalepie: talk to you later
Ptonguette: Later

From the University of Georgia Press {what part of Thornhill, Dahlquist or P. Tonguette's MINDS don't you understand, brother?}, Athens,Georgia 30602 a Queen's English editor writes " "In A 'Gravity's Rainbow' Companion, Steven Weisenburger provides a page by page, often line-by-line, guide to the welter of historical references, scientific data, cultural fragments, anthropological research, jokes and puns around which Pynchon wove his novel. Weisenburger fully annotates Pynchon's use of language ranging from Russian and Hebrew to such subdialects of English as 1940s street talk, drug lingo, and military slang as well as the more recondite terminology of black magic, Rosicrucianism, and Pavlovian psychology. But this companion {where is your "Eyes Wide Shut" Companion, Donny Boy? ?} does more than footnote Pynchon's vastly entertaining, profoundly mysterious novel. Revealing for the first time the underlying organization of Gravity's Rainbow, Weisenburger traces how the myriad references contained in the book combine to form patterns that have eluded both admirers and critics of the novel who have seen it as formless - or as a perfectly, or hopelessly, 'deconstructed' work." KET: A "Gravity's Rainbow" Companion is keyed to the page and line numbers of the Viking hardcover, Penguin paperback, and Bantom paperback editions of Gravity's Rainbow."

People always have it bad, when they are deluded and unenlightened.
This is a realm of suffering for a reason. It does not evolve. it

STATEN ISLAND
"A woman shoved a power tool up her skirt in a Mariners Harbor hardware store and tried to waddle off with the stolen item between her legs, authorities said.
"Barbara Curbelo, 55, entered the Lowe's on Forest Avenue wearing a blue skirt, black work boots, an overcoat and a skull cap at around 5:45 p.m., Thursday, police said.

"Curbelo allegedly confessed to the bizarre crime, telling police, 'I put it between my thighs. I sell it to buy food.'
"She has 14 prior arrests for theft and drugs, sources said.
"She was charged with attempted petit larceny and attempted criminal possession of stolen property, records show."

I saw it original at the Cinematique in Hollywood, just off Sunset,
near the Psychedelic conspiracy headshop of days gone by, When she
picks up the dog turd and ate it I kinda steered clear of it. I did
watch it years later and I think I have heard the commentary. There
was a NY element seeping evilly into LA, which already had it's own
kind of underbelly in the Hollywood surrounding areas. I can find it
funny don't get me wrong, but srsly it's the gnarly kind of junkie
humor that loses me. For you I will check it out again, maybe I
missed something funny that doesn't remind me of the ugliness of the

And how is Ginny Weithman now? No complaints? Does Tiffin, Ohio even exist anymore? "During my undergraduate studies I was shocked at the low opinion some of my professors had for the astronomer Carl sagan. For me his efforts to popularize science were an inspiration, but for them such 'outreach' was a diversion. That view makes no sense today.

"The enthusiasm and generous spirit that Mr. Sagan used to advocate for science now must inspire all of us. There are science Twitter feeds and blogs to run, citywide science festivals and high school science fairs that need imput. For the civic-minded nonscientists there are school board curriculum meetings and long-term climate response plans that cry out for the participation of informed citizens." - Adam Frank, "a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Rochester, is the author of 'About Time: Cosmology and Culture at the Twilight of the Big Bang' and a founder pf NPR's 13.7 Cosmos and Culture blog." - NY TIMES, 22 August "2013" Op-Ed Page A27, WELCOME TO THE AGE OF DENIAL next to GAIL COLLINS'S "Rocks In Space"
