Construction halted at Safeway on College and Claremont
Update 1/24/14: After three months of no activity, Safeway is reporting that construction resumed on the new Safeway store on Jan. 21. The company finally received a building permit from the city of Oakland after it consulted with the Rockridge Community Planning Council and other community groups, according to the Safeway website.
"As you may remember, Safeway signed a settlement agreement over a year ago with several Rockridge community groups that required Safeway to confer with them about major design refinements after the City of Oakland approved the project for construction. Over the past five months, we have had very productive meetings with these community groups regarding design changes that were needed in order to accommodate the store's structural and operational systems. We have now reached a point in those discussions where we can resume activity at the site, while continuing to communicate with the community groups as construction progresses."
Original story: For the past two months, there has been no construction at the site of the new Safeway store at College and Claremont avenues on the Oakland-Berkeley border. But Safeway and
The Pleasanton-based company halted work on the project after Oakland stopped processing its building permit. Oakland took that step because Safeway had violated its 2012 agreement with neighborhood groups to discuss major design changes before submitting a permit application to the city.
Demolition starts on Safeway on College Avenue
Oakland Mayor Jean Quan joined Safeway officials and neighborhood activists Monday to celebrate the official groundbreaking for a new store at the intersection of College and Claremont avenues.
After a few hellos and speeches, everyone got down to the main event: watching two huge bulldozers start to tear down the 49-year-old structure.
"Right now we have a store to knock down so let's get some sledgehammers and get going," Todd Paradis, Safeway's real estate manager, said to the two dozen people assembled. … Continue reading »
Safeway on College to close on July 8 for major rebuild
The Safeway store at the intersection of College and Claremont avenues on the Berkeley-Oakland border will close on July 8 for 12 months to undergo a major rebuild which has been more than seven years in the planning.
Neighborhood appeals against the project — which will create a bigger store with a public plaza, rooftop parking and a number of small retail outlets — caused the delay. Concerns centered on the scale of the proposed store.
Eventually the size was reduced, and the store was brought down to street level (from a proposed second-floor design); limits were agreed on the number and type of other retail outlets on site; Safeway was required to provide enough parking for the new development, and to pay for parking permits in perpetuity for nearby residents. … Continue reading »

New Safeway on College green-lighted, designs revealed
A new Safeway grocery store and retail development planned for College and Claremont avenues has gotten the nod from Oakland officials after seven long years in the making, and a hard-won community consensus on the heels of steep resistance from many residents.
The Oakland City Council voted unanimously Tuesday night to deny a neighborhood appeal against the project, after representatives from several community groups reached an agreement with the grocery store company earlier this week. (The appeal could not simply be withdrawn, despite the signed agreement, due to procedural rules, city staff said.)
The settlement agreement over the particulars of the College Avenue Safeway project resulted from several intensive mediation sessions, run by Oakland Councilwoman Jane Brunner, between Safeway and neighborhood reps over the past five weeks. The sessions came about in the face of a possible lawsuit from community members who opposed aspects of the development that had been approved by the Oakland Planning Commission. … Continue reading »

Residents air concerns about College Ave. Safeway plans
Update, 5:23 p.m.: Via Stuart Flashman, "After another five hours of negotiating today (following up on two hours over the weekend) the agreement has been finalized. The RCPC Board (which has been primed for a vote since Friday) promptly approved the agreement by electronic vote. The other two groups (FANS and BPOD) will be voting tonight, but the community negotiators are unanimously recommending approval."
Original story, 2:15 p.m.
With what may be the final major approvals for a new Safeway store on College Avenue set to take place Tuesday night before the Oakland City Council, residents came together for an update late last week.
About 60 community members attended a session Thursday night run by several mediators who have, along with Oakland Councilwoman Jane Brunner, helped broker a deal to get Safeway to respond to neighborhood concerns and bring negotiations to a close so the project can move forward after seven years in development. … Continue reading »

Safeway on College needs all-new design after mediation
In response to pressure from neighbors, Safeway has scrapped years of work and agreed to a smaller, street-level store for its site at the junction of College and Claremont avenues, with enough parking, store reps say, for all of its customers.
When the project comes back before the Oakland City Council on Dec. 18, officials and community members will see a whole new set of plans, said architect Ken Lowney of the Oakland-based Lowney Architecture. Tuesday night, Lowney presented the council with rough sketches for the 45,500 square foot store, which is set to open onto College Avenue just north of a plaza separating it from a new, 9,500 square foot retail space.
As for all the site plans, renderings and videos for the project (viewable on the store's website), "it's all out the window for now," said Lowney. Coming up with a whole new design in the next few weeks could pose a major challenge. The previous design took his firm about six weeks to complete. But, he said: "We're just going take a run at it." … Continue reading »

Breaking: Neighbors, Safeway agree on College Ave. store
This story was updated at 4:35 p.m.
A mediation effort between Safeway and three community groups opposing aspects of the grocer's College Avenue store has resulted in a resolution and new agreement, according to statements released this week.
As a result, final action on an appeal before the Oakland City Council set for Tuesday, Nov. 13, has been postponed until Dec. 18., according to a statement from Safeway.
Oakland city staff said at 4:30 p.m. that the hearing will still take place and community members will be allowed to speak, given the late notice, but that council members could announce tonight whether a decision will be postponed. … Continue reading »

Op-Ed: Why I support plans for the Safeway on College
In July, the Berkeley City Council took up the EIR agreement for the proposed Safeway store on College Avenue in Oakland's Rockridge district right on the Berkeley border. Buoyed by the protests of the attendees, Mayor Bates summarized the objections of the council, "it's just too big for the location."
In the debate about the Rockridge Safeway, there is little understanding of how the 61,000 sq ft design came about. Why is this project so big? Why have they piled … Continue reading »
Oakland Planning Commission approves Safeway plans
On Wednesday, the Oakland Planning Commission unanimously certified the final EIR and approved Safeway's proposed plans for its College Avenue store which sits on the Oakland-Berkeley border.
A statement released by Aroner, Jewel & Ellis Partners, who have been retained by Safeway, said the grocery store was "heartened by the commission's support and their comments in support of the design, the size and the community benefit our proposal would convey on Rockridge."
The statement continued: "The commission did not agree with the opponent's assertions that our project violated zoning, or that traffic was unmitigatable. They did not buy arguments that the store would negatively affect the small merchants across the street, or that the EIR was in any way inadequate." … Continue reading »

Berkeley Council unites in opposing Safeway project
A ten-year-old girl who lives on Lewiston Avenue was among more than 20 people who stood up to voice their opposition to Safeway's plans to expand its Claremont-College Avenue store at Tuesday night's Berkeley City Council meeting. "It will ruin my neighborhood and community and cause traffic chaos," she said. "It's already wiped out cute stores like Chimes Pharmacy."
She and the other member of the public who object to the scale of the proposed store and its potential impact on local traffic and air pollution needn't have worried. Berkeley's leaders are unanimous in their disapproval of the grocery giant's plans for a store which is sited in Oakland, a hair's breadth from the Berkeley border. They have little power to stop it, however. … Continue reading »

Berkeley City Council to hold hearing on Safeway project
Even though the new Safeway store proposed for College and Claremont Avenues is in Oakland, the project will have significant impacts on Berkeley. To assess how the new supermarket will affect the Rockridge area, the Berkeley City Council will hold a special work session Tuesday night at 5:30 pm.
The city of Oakland sent a draft Environmental Impact Report about the store to Berkeley in July when the council was on recess. Berkeley is holding … Continue reading »

Locals protest scale, traffic of new Rockridge Safeway
Plans to rebuild the Safeway store on College and Claremont on the Oakland-Berkeley border have been on the drawing board for more than two years. In fact, the store has put a number of different proposals in front of the city of Oakland and local residents. And, while the latest design, by Lowney Architecture, has met with broad approval, the scale of the project and its impact on local traffic are still stumbling blocks to development.
Local residents and small business owners, from both sides of the border, came out in force to a July 20 hearing of the Oakland Planning Commission's Draft Environmental Impact Report on the redevelopment of the store, which is at 6310 College Avenue. The turn-out was so large, the crowd had to move from the Planning Commission chambers to those of the City Council. The meeting was continued until August 3rd.
Current plans call for the Rockridge store to more than double its square footage, and they show eight new retail shops, a restaurant and an elevated walkway, among other amenities. … Continue reading »
Safeway buys Berkeley's Chimes Pharmacy, to consolidate
Chimes Pharmacy, one of the last remaining independent pharmacies in Berkeley, will be turned into a Safeway Pharmacy on July 23.
John Gelinas, who has owned and run Chimes at 3210 College Avenue near the Oakland border for more than 25 years, sold the business to Safeway and will stay on as pharmacy manager.
"The main reason was I wanted to be a pharmacist again and not have to run a business," Gelinas said.
The new Safeway Pharmacy will operate at the current Chimes location until the revamped College Avenue Safeway is completed. … Continue reading »

The Intercultural Communication Center (ICC) offers on-going language support in a format designed to allow full-time students to attend a series of short workshops and classes during the length of their program. The goal of our center is to help students develop the skills needed to successfully complete their degree programs. We do not offer traditional ESL language classes; our classes instead focus on the types of skills needed for academic success, and are aimed at students who have at least a minimum TOEFL score of 600 PBT/84 iBT (the score generally required for students in academic programs at Carnegie Mellon). The ICC does not generally fit the needs of exchange students since those students are often on campus for only one or two semesters, and may either need more basic ESL training than we can offer, or be looking for advanced classes in writing, linguistics or public speaking.

Deadpool Joins Activision's Ultimate Alliance
The merc with a mouth to be featured in the upcoming Marvel RPG.
The cast of 24 playable characters in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 remains largely a secret, with 15 playable characters revealed so far. Add another to the roster. Deadpool will be among the heroes featured in the storyline, which follows Marvel's "Civil War" arc from a few years ago.
Activision has not officially announced Deadpool, however, he is featured in an ad included in the newly released X-Men Origins: Wolverine game. Deadpool is pictured alongside Wolverine, Spider-Man, Hulk and other characters already confirmed to be playable when MUA2 is released this fall.
The image of Deadpool shows the classic look of the character, as opposed to what he was turned into for the Wolverine feature film. Hooray.

Doing a form POST in Spry
I blogged about half a year ago on how to send data with Spry. One thing I had not done (until recently) was send a form POST with Spry. Keith, over on the Spry forums, posted a good example on how to do it. With his permission I'm reposting his example. (With a slight modification or two.)
The basic syntax to do a POST with Spry works like so:
The first argument simply specifies that we are using a POST instead of a GET operation. The second argument is the URL to load. The third argument specifies if the operation should be asynchronous or not. The next argument is the function to run when the HTTP operation is finished. The next set of arguments are options to pass along to the HTTP operation. The headers should be used as is, and formData in this example points to a string that contains your form information. Here is an example:
2var lname = $("LName").value;
3var cred = $("Credentials").value;
5//Create a string of data
6var formData = 'firstname='+fname+'&lastname='+lname+'&credentials='+cred;
7formData = encodeURI(formData);
By the way - I plan on writing a simpler method to handle this.

Are the Vinylmation the older ones that are kinda plasticy?
Printable View
After my most recent trip to Anaheim, my pin-board is nearly full up... may have to get a second one started before we return for the Expo in August.
How do I explain Vinylmation? The pins are just two dimensional representations of the three dimensional figures. They all have a standard shape (Mickey) and are designed by various artists and put into varied collections with themes. one of the reasons I like them so much is to see how different the designs can be, within one shape.
DS has been collecting the last few trips. This year for Marathon weekend, he and I are each going with ten and trading to see who can get the most interesting collection. This ten, plus the one Jessica as Star Trek Yeoman pin I have, puts me into the 10+ category !
I started to collect/trade them in 2008. At last count, I have over 50 something....I have one that I've been searching for...have looked on my last 3 trips and no luck. Someday I hope to find it. I'm told it's rare..it's part of a Tinkerbell set of 4.
Not enough pins :)
Love Disney pins! So happy I saw this post!
I have a small collection I started in 2001. Got married last year and my DH is collects several different things and Disney pins has been added to his collectibles! YAY!
Question, is there a book, website, etc. available so DH can study up on Disney pins before our delayed WDW Honeymoon in 62 days? It's DH's first trip to WDW and he is eager to begin his collection purchasing/trading, but wants to learn more about pins, which pins/types of pins are more collectible, etc.
Thanks in advance!
Just 62 days to loooong awaited DisneyWorld Honeymoon!

In some ways, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is a traditional English boarding school located in the fairy-green countryside well beyond London. The meddlesome caretaker, Mr. Filch, and his cat, Mrs. Norris, carefully monitor the building, and the grounds are well kept by the beloved Keeper of Keys and Grounds (and Hogwarts drop-out) Rubeus Hagrid. During the long-standing tradition of the Sorting Ceremony, first-year Hogwarts students are separated into four houses (Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin), each with their own proud history, alumni, and secret traditions. The faculty are respected scholars and authority figures removed from the emotional and interpersonal experiences of their students. The curriculum is carefully structured and deliberately traditional, and residents take classes by year and with students from other houses. Points are given and taken away for academic achievement, behavior and deportation, and athletic competition—all in an effort to win the much-coveted...

I will be organising a sewing meet up on April 20 to host Sew Busy Lizzy visit. Details will be disclosed at a later date by email but I just wanted to give you all a heads up in advance so you have time to make cheap travel arrangements to London.

Then head for a fabric shopping location (Goldhawk Road) where we will have fun shopping, food & swap. If people are happy to keep going, we can go for drinks after!
I need to start having an idea of how many people are happy to come, so If you want to come please let me know. We don't need definitive confirmations until a week before when I will be booking us a place for food.

Memoirs of an artist
An alluring film about a sculptor's dream to create a masterpiece and what happens when he comes across the perfect muse.
Fernando Trueba's The Artist and the Model, set in 1943 in France, narrates the story of a famous sculptor Marc Cros (Jean Rochefort) who's struggling to create a masterpiece. One fine day, he comes across a girl named Merce (Aida Folch) in the town. Merce tells him that she has escaped from a concentration camp and she has no idea where she's going. Cros offers her a job as a model to pose for him which begins an interesting relationship between the two.
We are told that Marc Cros is interested in trying to recreate the balance which is seen all around us. He's especially fond of a sketch drawn by Rembrandt which he believes is a masterpiece. Merce tries her best to live up to his expectations and one fine day, Marc Cros miraculously finds the exact expression on Merce's face which he has been dreaming about. The film is alluring in terms of how well it treats its characters. They talk about art and life post WWII. The conversations between Rochefort and Aida form most part of the film. It's a simple tale, remarkably shot in black and white by Daniel Vilar and well written.
Fernando treats the nudity in the film with so much heart that there's no lust anywhere in the film. The Artist and the Model is a fine film about people who have lived through tough times and the solace they find in each other far away from the chaos.
Movie: The Artist And the Model (El Artista y la modelo)

No credit cards are required, just good bargaining skills, So shopping in Watamu may require hard work.

Vitra Wooden Doll Number 9 … in Weimar
Although Vitra Wooden Doll Number 9 has long nurtured literary ambitions these have until now borne no fruit.
The first novel "Barcelona", a spy thriller set in the Catalonian capital selling exactly no copies as an ebook. The follow up poetry collection "A Lounge Chair for the Soul"performing even worse; namely being removed by the online shop by the operator.
Consequently one could consider Number 9's attempt to take Goethe's place at the side of Schiller in Weimar somewhat cheeky….
Vitra Wooden Doll Number 13 … in Potsdam
When Vitra Wooden Doll Number 13 booked a short pre-Easter break in Potsdam he had naturally expected to see Schloss Sanssouci and it's grounds in the joyous first blush of spring!
The disappointment of not being able to smell the flush of new grass however being more than compensated by the crisp blue sky and even crisper white snow under foot.And spring will come eventually.Of that we can be certain
Vitra Wooden Doll Number 12 … floating in the Dead Sea
Whereas for beings of flesh and bone, floating in the Dead Sea is something of a unique, uncommon and indeed slightly stinging experience … for a Wooden Doll its pretty much like floating in any other body of water.
Seeing as how they are made of pine and that.
Despite that fact, on a recent trip to Israel and Palestine Vitra Wooden Doll Number Twelve still didn't want to miss out on the moment.
A tragic victim of chronic Tourist Gaze as he is…

Vitra Wooden Doll Number 17 … turns to performance art
Pay attention to the wise words of Alexander Girard and you will quickly learn that in folk art are hidden just as many truths about life as in any philosophical text.
One just needs to know where to look and how to interpret the information.
And so it should come as no surprise that the Vitra Wooden Dolls regularly turn their attention to intensive, creative projects.
In these pages we've had, for example, Wooden Doll Number 11 performing on a theatre stage.
Number 17 has a more "off" approach to culture and recently presented himself as a living installation.
In the course of a four movement work entitled "Rocks" Vitra Wooden Doll Number 17 set out on an exploration of our relationship with our own mortality and questioned in how far we truly understand why our demise is a must and not an option.
Here a moment from Movement 3 "Derbyn"

Vitra Wooden Doll Number 15 … in another dimension!
Following a recent shoot for the Vitra Panton Chair a photographer noticed something untoward on one of the plates.
And contacted us.The shoot took place on the roof of a disused factory. We don't know for certain but we imagine that in the past something negative happenend in the building to people who were kind and generous to Wooden Dolls - and now Number Fifteen watches guard over the building to prevent a similar fate befalling any other friendly souls who wander through……

Vitra Wooden Doll Number 13 … in New Doha International Airport.
As experienced international travellers, Wooden Dolls are often asked to inspect and assess new airports before they go into operation.Such as with New Doha International Airport.
Due to open in June 2013 as an extended hub for Qatar Airlines, New Doha International Airport will eventually be able to handle some 50 million passengers a year.
We doubt any will be as demanding as Wooden Doll Number Thirteen.
Tags: vitra wooden doll number thirteen
Vitra Wooden Doll Number 7 … in a forest
Romantic and invigorating as "Walking in a Winterland" sounds when Perry Como sings - it is only so when one is properly attired.
As Wooden Doll Number 7 found out to her cost recently.
There is nothing more silly than going into a forest in search of a Christmas Tree without a jumper!
Honestly Number 7! As Q might say….

Vitra Wooden Doll Number 1 … in Baden-Württemberg
Baden-Württemberg. Gentle rolling hills of green. Space for fantasy and dreams. What more could an adventure hungry Wooden Doll want.
Alexander Girard himself only "came" to Baden-Württemberg once - as designer of an exhibition that was shown in Stuttgart in 1951.And so it is up to Number One to explore the land, its tradition, heritage and forests…

Vitra Wooden Doll Number 9 … with a snowmanWinter is admittedly not a Wooden Doll's favorite season, at least not out of doors. Inside is fine; but outside? In winter?That said when Number 9 awoke to find the garden white with the first snow of the year - there was only one option.A snowman. And mighty proud he is too of his creation!

Lovingly recreated by the Vitra Design Museum from plans found in the Alexander Girard archive, the Vitra Wooden Dolls are a loving family of charachters. A loving family of characters who enjoy travelling. And who enjoy sharing their holiday snaps ....

text: Only kindness lets me write. It allows the words to come into sight. Life is hard enough without your kind. Wagging your tongue of evil thoughts in your mind. It's hard to pray for someone like you. It's hard to forgive someone who makes you feel blue. We hang on to that last knot on the rope. As someone like you cuts off the last bit of hope. We fall to pieces in disarray upon the ground. As you have no regard whether we ever make a sound. It takes all we have to vent our dismay. But you don't care if we have got anything to say. I've said enough, I understand too much. How to use meaness as a crutch. My prayer is up in the sky. I hope Jesus finds his way into your minds eye.

Provide installer support for AS7
Thomas Diesler Nov 11, 2010 6:06 AMDavid says
I think things were a little different in the AS6. In AS6 we always shipped as a loosely coupled addon (our jars were put in a deployment folder), whereas in AS7 we are part of the distribution (we are in the modules tree). Let's say the as integration layer needs to change due to a change in AS itself. That means that just replacing jboss-as-osgi.jar is not enough. It may require additional AS jars to be replaced as well. Effectively you might end up patching the whole of AS instead of just the OSGi component, and I think patching AS as a whole is an entirely different topic.
>> This methodology ensures that we provide backward compatible artefacts that are QAed against the latest stable AS. There should be no manual steps required by the user to get the latest jbosgi release installed in the last stable AS. <<
I think this may be impossible to do (but correct me if I'm wrong). Let's say there is a change in jboss-modules that we have to react to in OSGi. This would mean that our OSGi distribution will only work in AS versions that also contain this change.
What I think we can do is have automated runs that check a particular version of our components with the accompanying version of AS.
So we have an installer that installs the version of our examples in AS7.0.0.Alpha1 and tests that they work with that. Additional the installer can install the version of our examples that work AS7.0.0.Alpha2-SNAPSHOT in that and test those. Having a single set of artefacts that work in both would only work if the underlying AS infrastructure is very stable, and I don't think we have hit that point yet.
Its not different to AS6 only the location of the framework and its dependencies changes (deployers == modules conceptually).
Ideally, we would not patch any AS7 jars. For the upcoming Beta10 release however, the jboss-as-osgi integration layer that is part of Alpha1 cannot be used with the standalone deployment client. Not fixing this, means no XService support for Alpha1.
We do the QA based on what the installer puts in the target container. This verifies AS consistency and installer content, at least for the OSGi subsystem.
Backward compatible changes that are taken from the Alpha1 tag can be applied IMHO. Especially if they are as trivial as they are now. What particular commit are you concerned about?
1. Re: Provide installer support for AS7
David Bosschaert Nov 11, 2010 6:40 AM (in response to Thomas Diesler)Well what I think is different is that jboss-as-osgi.jar is part of the jboss-as build and versioned as part of it. Where previously the AS6 integration was a component that was versioned and released separately from AS6. Taking one piece of a newer, unreleased build of AS7 and dropping it into a previous release of AS7 just doesn't feel safe to me. As that newer jboss-as-osgi.jar isn't officially released, the only option we have is to take a SNAPSHOT jar which means we lose reproducability, unless we decide to version and release jboss-as-osgi separately from the rest of the AS build (which I'm not advocating).
I would have a lesser issue with patching things in /modules/org/jboss/osgi/... such as the framework.jar as at least these modules follow a their own release cycle and the installer (which is part of a release) can apply released versions of those rather than snapshots...

Step 1
To get the seamless look, paint the crates to match your child's dresser.
Step 2
Then remove the dresser drawers and drill holes from the inside that line up with the four corners of the crate's side.
Step 3
Secure each crate with nuts and bolts. Be sure to position crates in a way to avoid unbalanced weight -- especially if the dresser is light and tippable.

Firms millennium-proofing their computer systems are also keeping their clients informed, says Philip Hoult. Philip Hoult is a freelance journalist.As firms race to millennium-proof their computer systems, some are taking time out to tell their clients just what is going on.Andrew Seddon, partner in the IT Department at Masons, says that after starting an internal review of the problem in July 1997, the firm decided to install a new practice management system by December 1998.But Masons also decided to issue a policy statement for clients setting out the steps that it is taking to ensure that the legal services it supplies are unaffected by the year 2000 problem.Eversheds is also keeping clients informed. Its approach is being co-ordinated by the Birmingham office, with particular responsibility for the implementation of its firm-wide Elite practice management system.Michael Hervey-Murrey, director of IT in Eversheds' London office, says the firm has also set up a national database to deal with enquiries from clients and suppliers on a uniform basis.Eversheds has, in turn, been making enquiries of its suppliers to establish what remedial action, if any, it needs to carry out and to ensure that services it relies on will remain unaffected.The operation of a firm's computer systems is of primary concern, with both front-office and back-office functions such as practice management and payroll administration affected. But there will even be costs involved in checking building and other systems such as lifts, air-conditioning systems, fax machines and videos.The failure of these could not only seriously affect law firms but also seriously benefit them.At the moment there is a marked reluctance on the part of the experts to say who exactly should be paying for the costs incurred in implementing the necessary changes.As yet no actions appear to have been brought to settle the question. Seddon from Masons suggests that the reasons for this are that the true costs of implementation are not yet known and that both businesses and their advisers are adopting a consensual, "let's sort it out first" approach.John Yates, partner and IT specialist at 11-partner firm Oxley & Coward agrees that the overriding business imperative is to ensure the problem is fixed. However suppliers, according to lawyers, are getting increasingly edgy about their potential liabilities.

A canonical link should work with the trailing slash issue very well. But it does depend on Google not to have problems, so its better to configure your server properly too.
I do like the canonical link in addition, because it catches so many edge cases - and yuou can barely think of all the crazy things that might happen.

4. to 1. A Broken Girl to Girls A-Broken
1. Martyrs
Okay, everyone who mentioned this film over the last few weeks I posted this list on Facebook, please go get tested for psychic abilities, as it was always perched at the summit long before anyone suggested it, I swear. Again, as with plenty of the French extreme stuff, femininity is a theme. As well as (female) suffering. But it's not what you'd expect. It's decidedly modern, almost Tarantino-esque in its jumpy, nonlinear plot, eschews genre conventions in similar ways to Wheatley's Kill List, yet it's also damn near medieval in its cruelty. In an odd, full-circle way that certainly wasn't intended, it shares some themes with the movie that opened my list, not least the human capacity to endure or perversely even welcome pain, but it will surprise you more than once, and undeniably sicken you in ways you'll take weeks to recover from. So, you've been warned.
And that said, we've reached the end, in more ways than one. Uh, can I say it's been a slice, or would that be crass?
2. The Vanishing (Spoorloos)
Now, I haven't seen the US remake with Jeff Bridges, so can't speak to that, but I'm talking the Dutch-French original from 1988. I can't really say too much, as this film is especially vulnerable to spoilers—and if I were you I'd stop reading here if you haven't seen it, yet intend to—but I only caught this gem quite recently and was shocked into an almost catatonic, open-mouthed silence by its deceptively placid, undemonstrative tone that leads so inexorably toward one of the coldest, bleakest, and most unforgettably harrowing conclusions I've had the misfortune to endure. (Also, um, Courtney Love lookalike, it has to be said!)
3. Mulholland Dr.
To me Lynch may not be perceived as a horror director, but most of his films contain exactly what I look for from the genre: deep, unsettling dread, nightmare moments of inexplicably surreal intensity and, at their heart, a girl (or boy) in trouble. This one is definitely about a girl, though. And very much in trouble. There's a distressing tension between the demands of Hollywood and the objectification of feminine beauty (ironically, Naomi Watts and Laura Harring are pretty much perfect in their deceptively layered and oppositional roles). I could outline my interpretation of the plot here, but it doesn't matter: you need to watch it first, at least once, before entertaining even the hope of unraveling it. Sure, that's part of the fun; it's a puzzle box of a film, but more crucially, the pure foreboding subcurrent of terror underlying this unfurling tragedy has to be experienced in all its visceral yet quiet magnificence. You'll never taste espresso the same way again. Or think of smiling elderly couples as cute. Or have any frame of reference for Billy Ray Cyrus whatsoever. I'll resist ending with the word "silencio." Oops.
4. May
This list's most recent theme has been femininity. Not necessarily feminism, although it could be. These final entries confirm something for me: that in order to be truly effective, the horror genre must encompass and acknowledge and even own its propensity for sexism before the possibility of moving past this particularly thorny problem has even a chance.
Anyway, I'd be hard pressed to name another movie that's as equally endearing as it is offputting, thanks to director Lucky McKee. It's a cracked Victorian attic of a film, wrenchingly sad yet somehow managing to max out the creep factor too. It also comes closest to breaking my no-humour rule for this list, but by the end, all that quirkiness is decidedly not funny when we realise where May is taking us. And as stellar as everyone else involved is, a great deal of the credit must go to Angela Bettis for her performance in the title role, one that will break your heart while simultaneously unsettling your stomach. Think Frankenstein meets Carrie. And then let your decidedly sick imagination run wild and free.
This scene is pretty much perfect.
