And I heard similar stories from honest friends and acquaintances all over the country. And I've come upon or observed many instances of black violence and aggression where the non-black victims were paralyzed into inaction or fear. This happened on buses, movie theaters, college towns, weekend night outs in the city, you name it. <br /><br />I don't much care about black performing well in sports. Let them make their millions. But, I do care about black violence in the streets and public places(largely due to black arrogance that they do whatever cuz they are tougher and no one's gonna do anything about it), and I don't like the impact this bio-social reality has on white male psychology which either spins into Ken-Burns-like Negro-worshiping liberalism or resentful caste-football-clinging white supremacism(to suppress feelings of inferioritism) of the far right. <br /><br />I don't know how authentic the following video is but it is typical of so many racial incidents I observed and experienced: <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2d9UdVpf0UM&feature=relatedadsfasdfasdfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-49393862597345664872010-07-31T21:48:41.538-07:002010-07-31T21:48:41.538-07:00Oh and Dinner for Shmucks could join the pantheon ...Oh and Dinner for Shmucks could join the pantheon of worst movies ever.<br /><br /><br />Dan inDcAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-59459333833913760682010-07-31T21:09:29.694-07:002010-07-31T21:09:29.694-07:00Kobe Bryant is going to take your lunch money?

Why? Because he just made s**t up - and he did so because he thinks that sinister conspiracies are cooler than prosaic reality."<br /><br />I think JFK is a horrible movie. Because Stone is naturally over-the-top, sensationalistic, and excessive, he's at his worst when he tries to be even more over-the-top, sensationalistic, and excessive. It's like someone already high on coke taking uppers. JFK would have been far more effective done in the mode of NIXON(or ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN), presenting a labyrinthine world of webs stretching infinitely and interconnecting and controlling just about everything. Alas, what we got was the style of CURRENT AFFAIR or HARD COPY tabloid news shows. <br /><br />People involved in a conspiracy should act as though they are involved in a conspiracy, not as if they want the whole world to know. Another problem with the movie is the Capra-esque innocence layered atop the most extreme paranoid cynicism. It's like MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON crossed with the BOURNE TRILOGY. It just feels wrong. <br />Stone gives us a world where everyone and everything is corrupt, dark, and disturbing, BUT we are to put ALL OUR TRUST in this one man, Jim Garrison, who's a top-notch wonderful guy, a man of the purest courage and ideals, Elliot Ness incarnate from the Untouchables. Movie after movie, Stone's 'good guys' are pretty dull, like Kirk Douglas in SPARTACUS, a film where the villain Olivier, weasel Ustinov, and politico Laughton steal the show. <br />JFK would have been far more interesting if instead of presenting Kennedy and Garrison as shining ideals, they were portrayed as deeply flawed characters who still possessed qualities and a character that rose above the fray. But the angel vs devil dichotomy makes everything just so simple and stupid. And what did it all boil down to? Kennedy was killed by some curly haird gay guy? <br /><br />NIXON is the much greater work for it's all about the darkness of power, the angel within the devil and the devil within the angel. And its somber and relatively austere style had a calming effect on Stone's penchant for mindless stylistic fireworks. <br /><br />I don't have problem with JFK being 'full of shit', as Stone himself said the movie is not about the truth but is meant to serve as a'counter-myth' against the Warren Report.It is supposed to be paranoid, speculative, and even irresponsible. Stone never said everything in the movie is necessarily factual or the absolute truth. They were meant to trigger debate and rouse emotions, much like D.W. Griffith's BIRTH OF A NATION. <br /><br />Also, JFK is how some of the facts, accounts, and theories all turned into vast interconnected puzzle and pattern in Stone's mind under the influence of hallucinogens. JFK is as much as about LSD as about the assassination of Mr. Camelot himself. <br />I recall the American Specator once wrote a hit piece on Stone, comparing him with Riefenstahl, but JFK is stylistically closer to the radical works of Soviet filmmakers like Eisenstein, whose OCTOBER also turned history into a myth. Of course, many dumb people saw JFK as the truth and nothing but the truth.adfadfasdfasfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-30910661042073703382010-07-31T11:30:34.366-07:002010-07-31T11:30:34.366-07:00"Charlotte said...

As I recall (I can no longer find the interview online), he said Anglo-Saxons are characterized mostly by a will to power - "Buddhist nightmare" was his phrase. He went on to say that whatever humanity the U.S. possessed was due to African Americans, and that the political, social, and demographic marginalization of the WASP(he mentioned immigration) was a good in itself. Damn, I wish I could find that interview. It may have been in Rolling Stone.</i> <br /><br />Sounds like terrible stuff but it seems like Robert Redford--and who can be more waspy than he?--feels even more strongly in this vein. <br />There seems to be a puritanical moral strain in wasp liberalism that is more didactic, simplistic, and one-dimensional than other kinds of leftism. Same goes for John Sayles, Mr. Boredom himself--except for the terrific BABY IT'S YOU. <br /><br />I'll take Stone over Sayles and Redford. At least Stone has a crazy and wild side that has the guts to show the bad things about the leftists and blacks too. With Redford and Sayles--or dullard Beatty--we get nothing but b/w moral and social lessons. <br /><br />Incidentally, John Milius also sympathizes with certain aspects of black culture. In an interview in a magazine devoted to screenplays, he said he preferred Hollywood black directors because they had the guts to tackle social issues--even if not honestly--that white guys were either afraid to touch or handled in the most PC way. I suppose he means DO THE RIGHT THING is more interesting than LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE. <br /><br />When Stone says stuff in the above interview, I wonder if he includes himself within the wasp community. Not only is he only half-Jewish but his Jewish father was very much the kind of Jew who went out of his way to wasp-ize himself as much as possible. So, Stone kinda grew up in a wasp or waspized milieu.asdfasdfasfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-90224529118460325242010-07-30T19:59:17.385-07:002010-07-30T19:59:17.385-07:00If you watch "Platoon" you'll see cl...<i>If you watch "Platoon" you'll see classic Jewish attitudes at work. The good guys: The blacks, the druggies, the liberal Sarge who sounds like he's from Boston, and a couple of "hip" whites, The bad guys: The rednecks, the hardass Sarge from the South, guy from Indiana, the cowardly "lifer", the clueless Goy Lt. </i><br /><br />This actually applies more to TIGER BAY by Joel Schumacher, which is well-made but comes with the whole baggage of liberal cliches. <br /><br />Platoon has some cool scenes with blacks but also shows blacks burning villages, brutalizing civilians and raping women. And one black guy is especially repugnant. And another black guy goes for self-inflicted wound. There was even an article by a prominent black journalist that Platoon defamed black service in Vietnam. <br /><br />The biggest problem in the movie is the Manichean presence of the two sergeants which undermines the realist tone of the film. It's comicbook metaphysics with Charlie Sheen's soul being torn between two spiritual forces. It's like Defoe and Berenger are the angel and devil within the heart of every person(especially in saturday morning cartoons). Sometimes they register as realistic characters, sometimes as arch symbols. They have political, social, moral, and psychological resonance, which is to say they are TOO MUCH. <br />But it's instructive that Berenger is seen with a bottle of whiskey whereas Dafoe introduces Sheen to marijuana(through a gun barrel which is like Indian peyote pipe).<br />Berenger uses a conventional drug to drown his pain; Dafoe uses the 'spiritual drug' to be in tune with his inner soul. <br /><br />Berenger, as tough as he is, has surrendered himself to the savagery of war. Dafoe, because he can fight the fight but still maintain a detached philosophical view of the conflict, history, and life is seen as the superior man. He's not only a tough guy but a thinking guy. But did he have to die like Christ? It was a bit like Passion of Vietnam. <br /><br />I recall there was a good review of this film in Hudson Review by Bert Cardullo, who made the valid point that as ruthless as Berenger seems to be, his attitude toward the war is morally and strategically is more consistent and rational than Dafoe's. <br /><br />On the other hand, contradictions were bound to abound in a conflict where Americans were supposed to be SAVING Vietnamese from tyranny but were blowing a whole lot of stuff up. Not by accident did so many people in the 60s compare the war with cowboys and Indians, a point made especially poignant and satirically in LITTLE BIG MAN. But we can sense some of it in GERONIMO--by Milius and Walter Hill--where the leading white character is both a fighter against Indians and a peacemaker who respects Geronimo and feels sympathy toward the Indians. America was founded on idealism and imperialism, and this strain of doing good and kicking butt continued with WWII, Vietnam, and Iraq. Radical Jews may have exploited it but they didn't invent it.adsfasdasdfsfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-28088898651412335722010-07-30T18:37:51.187-07:002010-07-30T18:37:51.187-07:00Why is it everytime the mystery of the JFK assassi...Why is it everytime the mystery of the JFK assassination comes up, someone is sure to kneejerk "conspiracy hooey" like some Pavlovian dog salivation response.

The goofiest "conspiracy" about the JFK assassination was the one they told us on the television about 5:00 p.m., Friday, November 22, 1963, when they had the whole crime wrapped up and a communist defector back in the fold, taking rap. Come on. Even at 10 years old I knew something was funny and my 14 year old brother (future Physics Major) said there was a lot more to it than that.<br /> Grow up. Governments and media lie.

However, Asamoah Gyan struck the ensuing penalty kick against the bar and Ghana went on to lose the penalty shoot-out. Speaking to the press, Suarez declared that his was “the hand of God,” associating himself with Maradona’s famous hand-ball goal that sank another indifferent England team in the quarterfinals in Mexico in 1986.1 On that occasion the diminutive Maradona had punched the ball into the net above the goalkeeper’s head. Once again referee and linesman blinked. Uncontrolled by technology and unpenalized afterward, such “gamesmanship” gives the referee a chance to see or not to see, as is convenient.

I think Natural Born Killers was about popular culture as a bad addiction, and Stone partly incriminates himself, which makes it both interesting and disastrous as satire. There is an American Indian who tells Woody Harrelson, 'too much TV'. And Indians should know about double-edged nature of drugs since they used peyote and mushrooms to gain wisdom but then lost their souls to the bad medicine of alcohol. (I suppose they got their revenge by giving tobacco to the white man.) <br />According to this view, drugs can elevate or degrade, help us search for higher truth(good) or make us escape from reality(bad). <br /><br />Stone probably identifies with both Jim Morrison in Doors and James Wood in Salvador. Morrison was really a poet and seeker in the Nietzschean mold but he couldn't resist all the women, drugs(for mindless partying), and lunacy. Wood character goes to El Salvador for both fun, escapism, easy women, cheap drugs, & thrills, AND justice, truth, courage, & right-thing-to-do. Stone sees himself as both shaman and showman. The spiritualist-moralist in him disdains the excesses of modern America but the wild-party-animal-dude in him wants to get wasted. <br /><br />There's something kinda sad about NIXON as a 90s movie. 60s generation ragged on Nixon's generation for all the problems in the world, but when they took power in the 90s with the rise of Clinton, they were just as deceitful, corrupt, venal, and cutthroat. (In some ways, the Boomers were worse as they claimed to be morally superior than everyone else--all who preceded and all who followed.) <br />As Kissinger says in the movie, 'power is the ultimate aphrodisiac'. Whoever you are or whereever you came from, power is an addictive drug and ruiner of souls. But we all want it. <br /><br />Perfect name too. Oliver STONE.asdfasdfasdfnoreply@blogger.com
