It's right around when his film started going downhill.

Nope. Ethics complaint has already been filed. Each house can make up its own rules for disciplining members. No impeachment is required. The House impeached a senator once and the Senate said it had no Constitutional jurisdiction over the case and dismissed the case.

The next day, they kicked the Senator out.

I did like Tout va Bien, a 1972 film with Jane Fonda and Yves Montland. It wasn't too preachy, and it had some great moments.

There was a film called Letter from Jane on the DVD. Godard made a film about the famous/infamous photo of Jane Fonda in Hanoi. It was just voice over and the photo interspersed with black. It was very, very boring....


GravatarSeptember's great in Florida... tourists gone, water still warm like a bath, hotel rooms $30 right on the beach...

GravatarWhy can't September be good?

It's schizophrenic. How would you like to be the ninth month of the year with a name that means seventh month? It's enough to cause any month to be a little mean. Just ask October, November, and December.


GravatarWhy can't September be good?

Because it's not named after the Bible.


Hmmm...what month is? Well, we better stop teaching the names of the months, not to mention the days of the week. Can't be teaching those heathen references.

GravatarJaneanne, I think it is called Letter to Jane. Saw it in art class back in the late 70s. Yes, quite boring.

I saw One Plus One back in the day purely because of the footage of the Stones. The rest of the film held no interest for me, although I tried to appreciate it.

I used to live in France and was surprised to find that the consensus among the locals seemed to be that Godard's films were mostly unwatchable.

Gravatarblivet | 09.01.07 - 12:45 am | #

Godard got really pretentious (even for the French) when he proclaimed himself to be a "political" filmmaker. A lot of his political stuff was rarely screened, even when it was made.

Letter to Jane is a good example of it. I don't even remember half of the voice over. There was no visuals other than black and the picture.

I prefer Alphaville, Weekend, Pierrot le Fou, and Two or Three Things I Know About Her. They had politics in then, but they were really creative and there was an incredible artistry that Godard misplaced.


GravatarSeriously though, it's from this song.

"In headaches and in worry
Vaguely life leaks away,
And time will have his fancy

GravatarJaneane The Acerbic Goblin | 09.01.07 - 12:48 am | #

It's impressive, though distressing, to see an artist throw away his or her strengths to concentrate on producing uninteresting stuff that almost anyone could do.

You got that a lot in the 60s and 70s when artists thought they had to be "political" and that any display of talent or skill was "elitist". Sigh.

Gravatarany display of talent or skill was "elitist". Sigh.

GravatarProf Wombat-

GravatarTowards a Spiderman suit: large invisible cables and self-cleaning releasable superadhesive materials
Nicola M Pugno 2007 J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 19 395001 (17pp)
http://www.iop.org/EJ/abstract/0...4/19/39/395001/

Abstract. Spiders can produce cobwebs with high strength to density ratio and surprisingly display self-cleaning, strong and releasable adhesion (like geckos). Nanointerlocking, capillary and van der Waals forces, all potential adhesive mechanisms, are thus discussed, demonstrating the key role played by hierarchy in the design of superhydrophobic, i.e. self-cleaning (dry or wet and enhanced by activating Fakir drops as in lotus leaves) and superadhesive materials. The reversibility of the strong attachment is quantified thanks to an improved nonlinear peeling model including friction, for which the solution in closed form is provided. Thus, mimicking nature, thanks to carbon-nanotube-based technology, we suggest the feasibility of large invisible cables, as well as of self-cleaning, superadhesive and releasable hierarchical smart materials. We found that a man can theoretically be supported by a transparent cable with cross-section of 1 cm2 and feasibly, with spider material gloves and boots, could remain attached even to a ceiling: a preliminary step towards a Spiderman suit.

GravatarFor four years, before Congress legalized it, the Bush administration freely spied on the conversations of Americans with no warrants or oversight of any kind. Despite the fact that the law made it a felony to do that, we still have no idea whose conversations they surveilled and what they did with the information. And unlike the Congress in 1975 which aggressively investigated such matters, the current Congress has demonstrated very little interest in finding out.

Why were politicians in both parties willing to impose the requirement of warrants on the Executive Branch's surveillance powers in the 1970s, at the height of the Cold War when the Soviet Union had thousands of nuclear-tipped warheads pointed at our cities, yet are so afraid (or unwilling) now simply to maintain that same requirement?

GravatarSo Lee Rodgers, The really hard core conservative at KSFO who doesn't believe in any of that compassion crap had this to say after reading a story in the Dallas Morning News about the refugees from the Katrina flooding.


"I for one, I'm all in favor of helping needy people, but at what point do you say, 'Hey it's time that you people got off your asses went to work and earned your own way"? Two years later, Dallas Morning New, some of the refugees from New Orleans were settled in Dallas and the community had an outpouring of generosity and they were giving them all kinds of freebies housing, so on and do forth.

Morgan: Yeah

Rodger: Two years later, the people have been freeloading for two years are whining because the gravy train is slowing down.


GravatarErr. Liberalism

Bas-O-Matic

Oh.

Here I was thinking it was Really Light Sleep or something.


GravatarJumping spiders are known for their curiosity. If approached by a human hand, instead of scuttling away to safety as most spiders do, the jumping spider will usually leap and turn to face the hand. Further approach may result in the spider jumping backwards while still eyeing the hand. The tiny creature will even raise its forelimbs and "hold its ground." Because of this contrast to other arachnids, the jumping spider is regarded as inquisitive as it is interested in whatever approaches it.[

GravatarAt least one species of jumping spiders, known as the Gliding Spider (Maratus volans) from Australia, has an abdomen with two wing-like flaps that can be tucked underneath it when not in use. When the spider is leaping, it can use its flaps to extend the jump and glide short distances through the air.

I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest,
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty,
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters,
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison,
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden,
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten,
Where black is the color, where none is the number,
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it,
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it,
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',
But I'll know my song well before I start singin',
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Regulars of my bar in NOLA still tell tales of me launching over the bar with a club in my hand, against people just such as this.


Gravatarthe Craig-Vitter rule tells us that nothing Ghouliani can do sexually will get him disqualified with Rethuglotard voters because so far, it's all been with women.

and THIS makes me averse to my own gender!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Gravatar...good night.

Gotta tell ya...it's never crossed my mind to have sex with a manta. Or any other animal.

I have a morbid horror of nonconsensual sex, interspecies or otherwise.

Which is not to deny that I'm sick in the head, natch.


GravatarI've always like September it mean going back to school and new beginnings.
I'll admit it, I liked going to school always something new to learn and talk about.
Spocko


Freak!
I hated it.

GravatarPaxcast Number Two, Bitches!


GravatarEllroon, of course WHILE I was in the middle of all that I would NEVER admit it. "I HATE going back to school!" I even loved mocking the "Back to School ads. But secretly I didn't really mind.
And of course years latter it all seems much more fun. But I knew at the time the real stress that we were all under and I hated people who said, "Best time of your life, enjoy it!" I wanted to tell them, "This is the BEST TIME IN MY LIFE? Oh please kill me the day I graduate!" But they of course were sentimental idiots, unlike me, I'm just sentimental.


GravatarFound this horrifying thing on TPM:

Freed from the need to keep his silence, Karl Rove has written a piece on the Bush presidency. Verdict: Best president ever.

I believe history will provide a more clear-eyed verdict on this president’s leadership than the anger of current critics would suggest.

President Bush will be viewed as a far-sighted leader who confronted the key test of the 21st century.

He will be judged as a man of moral clarity who put America on wartime footing in the dangerous struggle against radical Islamic terrorism.


GravatarGotta tell ya...it's never crossed my mind to have sex with a manta.

Cuz then there's the advanced placement. And all the shit that junior human/manta has to deal with in middle school. And college? Who's gonna pay for that?!

Un-fucking-believable.

Rorschach. 1) Congrats on the house (I think I stopped by the blog to say that)
2) I'd like to shop these clips to the radio in the New Orleans area, let the DJs in the area play 'em. Kind of like that rivalry that the mayors have with other mayors when their football teams play.

Any suggestions on who might take umbridge at these disgusting comments?

I'd no idea! And you yourself are rather invested, ya sucker.


GravatarWell what I want to do get a few of the New Orleans radio stations to play this.
"While the rest of the nation was finally acknowledging the pain that we are still feeling 2 years later, KSFO talk radio hosts were saying that the money put into our city is going into a Rathole and called our town a sewer.
They also think that the people who had to leave are whining freeloaders who need to get off their butts and get a job." (Play audio clips)
So that is what the right wing talk radio hosts Morgan and Rodgers think about us. Why do you think they believe that? What kind of people are they who view others in this light?
They call themselves conseratives, is this what the conservative movement is all about?


GravatarIt's the sort of thing I tend to brood about....

Gravatar2) I'd like to shop these clips to the radio in the New Orleans area, let the DJs in the area play 'em. Kind of like that rivalry that the mayors have with other mayors when their football teams play.

I think that's a great idea. I'd suggest sending 'em to Mike Malloy - I don't particularly like him, but I seem to remember him having NO radio folks and bloggers on regularly...he could get it to 'em very easily, I betcha.

Oh, just a bit.

As I was saying much earlier today, I was actually happy this morning. Not for any obvious reason, mind you...just pleased with mere existence.

A very strange feeling. Used to feel that way pretty often, if memory serves.


Gravatarokay, I'm going away in a minute or two. Worried about Mr Deere because it's Fri night, and he loves to go out and listen to Blues (which I do not in any way enjoy) and come home at the crack of dawn.......

But, worrying does no good, and, after all these years, I know better than to get behind this. It's just been such a suckass year, that I worry and stew and fret, stupidly.

Anyway - good night, you lovely people. Sweet dreams.

As every Atriot impatiently responds with "Who, me?!"


GravatarPhila, Pizen Sarpint

Excellent Idea. I'm going to send them to Sam Seder too.

I KNOW that only a hand full of people own the stations, but they love to pretend that they have a "local identity" None of the KSFO hosts live in SF, one doesn't even live in our STATE!
But they want to perpetuate this illusion that they are a local station so I'll go to the ones that pretend that THEY are the local stations. It will be like insulting the local football team. All good natured fun. Right? Ha. ha. Of course the KSFO hosts don't have a lot of humanity in them.


Gravatarjust pleased with mere existence.

I had this feeling just the other day, Sunday.

I was afflicted with mad anxiety attacks and thus forced out of bed. But I sat on my deck and looked out on the garden and the pond and felt that joy.

It's rare, and to be treasured.

But not really, because it's not something you can hold onto. It's to be appreciated, I guess.


Gravatarmost of my contacts there are still in diaspor

Actually that is a good point. I think that what I should do is sent this to some of the stations that are around the area as well. That would mean that they could be all pissed off on BEHALF of the people in New Orleans who can't defend themselves because they don't HAVE a radio station! Which community/area do you think fits that bill? New York?
Chicago?
