Jordan McRae On Cuonzo Martin's Treatment At Tennessee: "Can't Treat People Any Kind Of Way And Expect Good In Return"
Cuonzo Martin's sudden departure from Tennessee was a surprise, but probably not totally unexpected based on how Martin was received earlier this season, before Tennessee's run to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament. Many Vols fans wanted to run Martin out of town, and some even petitioned the school to bring back former Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl, who has since been hired at...

Tennessee guard Jordan McRae must have thought he was his namesake today against Wichita State.

The flick has a pretty strong opener, following the point of view of a female pilot flying a family around in a small plane....

A.B. Elite Dosing Intermittently / As Needed??
A.B. Elite Dosing Intermittently / As Needed??
Hey all,
Just had a quick question about the leftover Anabeta Elite I have from my previous 8 week run. I was wondering if there was any benefit to taking it on an as-needed basis (A.K.A. on a heavy squat and deadlift day) to boosting recovery/appetite/etc.
Or would the left over product be best saved and utilized for another full-blown cycle of ABE?
Any input is appreciated, thanks!

Swap Force Rip Tide.
Spyro hails from a rare line of magical purple dragons that come from a faraway land few have ever traveled. It's been said that the Scrolls of the Ancients mention Spyro prominently - the old Portal Masters having chronicled his many exciting adventures and heroic deeds. Finally, it was Master Eon himself who reached out and invited him to join the Skylanders. From then on, evil faced a new enemy - and the Skylanders gained a valued
Ruffle some feathers and unleash the magic with Skylanders Swap Force Hoot Loop!
Hoot Loop the owl was raised by a guild of magicians in Skylands' most famous traveling circus. At a young age, he perfected illusions and spells that only the very best of their guild could perform, and even mastered the art of teleportation!
Like other Swap Force figures he can be transported into the video game itself to unlock new power ups and character combinations using the Portal of Power (sold separately for each console).
You can also mix and match the top and bottom halves of the characters to create even more unique in-game powers and abilities, with 16 to collect and more than 250 amazing combinations.
For even more fun why not collect other Swap Force figures including Magna Charge (see item number 3XXNF), Rattle Shake (3KXNG) and Free Ranger (3XKNA).
Please Note: Skylanders Hoot Loop is compatible with Skylanders Swap Force only and requires the Portal of Power (included in the SWAP Force Starter Pack) to be used in-game.
Useful info:

- Transport him into the game
- Compatible with 3DS, Wii, Wii U, PS3 and X Box 360
- Suitable for age 6 and above

When he was young, Freeze Blade's family moved from the Frozen Wastelands of Vesh to the Great Lava Lakes. As it turned out, this was a very difficult adjustment for Freeze Blade. Not only was he the sole one of his kind, it was also incredibly hot and there was no ice to skate on whatsoever. But over the years, he learned to fit in with the other fire-like creatures and even discovered he had a magical ability to ice skate on any surface... even bubbling lava. One day, while out setting a new frozen lava speed record, he came across Blast Zone, who had just been ambushed by some nasty Spell Punks. After Freeze Blade stepped in to defend him, Blast Zone was so impressed by his skill in battle that he introduced him to Master Eon, who invited him to join the Skylanders.

Countdown was discovered by a group of Yetis who were snowboarding one particularly chilly morning when they came across a big bomb encased in ice. After bringing it back to their cabin, they were shocked when it actually came to life. No one, not even Countdown himself, has any memory of where he came from or how he ended up frozen in the mountains. Since becoming a Skylander, Master Eon has been graciously trying to help piece together fragments of his past. But this has proven difficult, as Countdown loses some of his memory every time he explodes – which happens a lot. In the meantime, Countdown has enjoyed working with Eon and fighting alongside the Skylanders to defend their world against evil – even though he occasionally forgets what he is doing.

'A Blaze of Glory!' - Smolderdash's official catchphrase. Smolderdash is one of the new Core Skylanders in Skylanders: Swap Force. She is of the Fire element. Biography: Smolderdash had always wanted to be a royal defender of the Fire Temple - home of the First Flame, a sacred torch that had been ignited by the original Fire Source. Unfortunately, she had been born during an eclipse and was believed by her people to be cursed, which prevented her from such an honour. But when Kaos stole the flame and used it to light the candles on his birthday cake, it was Smolderdash who went after it. Blazing like a comet, she dashed into Kaos' Lair, repelled the troll security force with her flaming whip, and retrieved the sacred flame just before Kaos blew out the candles. Smolderdash returned home as a champion of her people and was finally granted the honour of becoming a royal defender. But she graciously declined, having set a new goal for herself - to help fight against Kaos as a member of the Skylanders.

Roller Brawl grew up with five older vampire brothers, who were all very big and overprotective. Being the smallest of her family, she learned how to use her speed and cunning to become one of the toughest jammers in the Undead Roller Derby League. It was during the championship match when she caught the eye of Kaos, who fell head-over-heels in love with her. But when her overprotective brothers stepped in, Kaos had them captured by Drow and taken prisoner. Roller Brawl swore revenge, but even with her impressive skills, she was no match for an entire Drow army. Having developed a strong distaste for evil, she joined up with the Skylanders to fight against Kaos – while never giving up on her search for her brothers.

Well I gave this a fair shot. I even tried this in two different colors hoping to find a better color match. I've been looking for a replacement for EL Double Wear since I can't find a color that doesn't look orange on me. For $40 I would expect this to look great and last all day, but no such luck. This didn't give me the coverage I wanted or did it have the staying power. Really can't say I liked much about this.
More reviews by tawnyinthepink
HATE this foundation!!!!! I don't say that about many products, but when I'm told that I look older wearing this than I do without any make-up on...that says something! Also it broke me out horribly! This foundation is supposed to be amazing...but for my skin it just doesn't work. I have combination (oily T-zone) skin. I don't have sensitive skin, but with this I felt my skin tingle to an eventual slight burning sensation (as the day wore on).
Color Match sucks a lot yellow
consistence horrible i feel like have a mask on
and of course you look like u obviously like you are using make up
This foundation is awesome, but it took me a couple times before I got the hang of applying it. But once I did, this became a favorite foundation! The color isn't a perfect match, but I do love the coverage (can be light, can be medium, prob could be full but I don't need it so I haven't tried), makes me look healthy and beautiful. GREAT!
EDIT: After I stopped using this to try a lighter powder foundation, when I returned to HD to give it another try, I could not believe how thick and suffocating this felt on my face, Certainly not the natural look that I am going for. I now love Dior Nude Glow fndn and suggest you try that if you want a polished yet natural look.
I really like this foundation. I use the MAC 180 brush to apply this. It works best with an exfoliated face and a primer of some sort. The coverage is medium when applied with the 180 which is exactly the coverage I'm looking for. I finish off with mac pressed powder in nc 30 and blot powder. For reference I'm nc-30 and I use # 123. MUFE really has some weird numbering system when it comes to their foundations, but the product is worth the confusion! The only thing is that after a while (3hrs), I do need to retouch with blot powder because my skin is so oily. I have seen alot of reviews by oily girls who say to avoid using this product. However, it has been my experience that all foundations end up melting and or oxidizing off my face anyways! That's just the way it has always been for me. I highly recommend trying this foundation. It's awesome. Also check out the youtube video of Kim Kardashian's makeup tutorial with her makeup artist! It's great!
just bought this today and i looooooooove it! my skin looks so pretty and natural!! you have to use the hd white powder over it though to make it gorgeous
i generally hate foundation...its something i avoid and wear once every 4-5 months to some special event. The reason i hate it is because 1) it makes my skin oilier 2) it never blends right and doesnt look natural on me 3) it can break me out a little 4) somehow makes my skin look worse
I got this b/c i had to go to a bunch of weddings and i needed to fix the above problems. This was GREAT. i recommend it to everyone. it made my skin flawless, natural and dewy without being oily. it didnt make my flaws stand out more like other products do (mac, estee lauder, etc). i did get that soft focus look, especially when using the HD powder ontop. lasted all night. i recommend this for olive skin tones, especially south asians who find it hard to find the right stuff in other brands.
this is my favorite liquid foundation that i have tried to date. it covers well, but doesn't ever look cake-y, and yet somehow it manages to feel very light almost powder-y to the touch, yet it doesn't look powder-y on, its more of a natural/satin finish.. it goes on so smoothly and evenly, it takes hardly any effort to blend it well, and a little bit goes a looong way.. the only bad things i have to say about it is that i wish it came in a larger variety of colors, especially for people with yellow undertones & a light complexion. also, it is quite pricey.. i'm not sure if i can afford to purchase it on a regular basis.. but its so amazing, i don't know how i can live without it.
Do not get this if you have any kind of oily skin. I like medium coverage and I don't think it did it's job.
I was very excited about this product when I first received it and thought it would be my forever HG foundation but I was wrong. I have acne-prone skin and a lot of acne scars and I feel that the only thing this foundation helped me get rid of is my noticably large pores. It provides very minimal coverage and did not cover my scars or blemishes at all. If you have naturally nice skin and is someone who just needs a foundation to even out your skin tones then this foundation is perfect for you. However, if you are acne proned like I am and have blemishes then this foundation should be avoided, especially for such it's price. I am not even done with half of the bottle but I am looking for a new foundation because I am so disappointed with how it came out on my skin. What a waste of 40 dollars.

Town Square
Auto mall idea: move MSC to MP
Original post made by Marc Fleischmann on Jul 24, 2006
Temporarily lease the former Cadillac and Anderson Chevrolet dealership space on El Camino Real in Menlo Park. It already has facilities for repair and maintenance. Relocate the Municipal Services Center to this space and to the space by the Palo Alto Airport.
Anything that can't be squeezed into these two spaces can be stored at the lot at the end of San Antonio Road. Build the new auto mall on the current Municipal Services Center and have the car dealers move in.
Then re-examine the real need for space for the Municipal Services Center and what a cost-effective solution would be.

Excellent downtown location.
Our recent stay at this location was great. With a Starbucks across the street, Skytrain station around the corner( several really) short walk to the water, Seabus, Gastown and many more attractions it couldn't be better. Cam met us at the hotel even for an early check in. We were able to quickly get on with our day. The room was comfortable for our three night stay.
Clean, Central, affordable
Wonderful place, close to everything. Hosts and management have it together. Booked this place last minute and it worked out great. Definitely would recommend for group travel.
Great place
We stayed at Edwin's B&B and had a great time. The place is clean, warm and welcoming. We arrived late and Edwin waited for us and gave us instructions on the way. Breakfast was served on time set with us and the location is just great - walking distance to city center and the falls. Highly recommended.

Rude: Woods shouldn't have attempted Valhalla
Maybe Tiger Woods opting to skip the Ryder Cup in the wake of his PGA Championship missed cut at Valhalla will cure what's ailing him -- unlike his game and his injured back, it can't hurt.
Rude: Evans loses a rock in Moore
Jim Moore left a lasting impression on generations of Evans Scholars during his 47-year Western Golf Association career until his fight against cancer ended Tuesday night at age 73.
Rude: Shell of former self, time for Tiger to shut it down
Tiger Woods hobbled his way around Valhalla on Friday, posting a second-consecutive 74 that showcased a golfer that is not only injured, but also a bit lost on the course.
Rude: State of Tiger's game still in disarray
Tiger Woods didn't do a good job of convincing anyone that he is healthy and ready to compete at the highest of levels, posting an erratic 3-over 74 that left more questions than answers.
Woods: 'I feel good,' will play PGA Championship
Upbeat about his famous back, Tiger Woods showed up Wednesday at Valhalla and declared himself ready to play in the 96th PGA Championship, which begins Thursday.

Bob May finds comfort with his place in history as Tiger Woods' foil at Valhalla in the 2000 PGA Championship -- realizing it was one of the great head-to-head duels in a major.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to Macau, China, with The Ultimate Fighter (TUF): "China" Finale, which takes place at Cotai Arena at The Venetian on March 1, 2014.
The international card just got a bit deeper with the announcement that Heavyweight standouts Matt Mitrione and Shawn Jordan will clash. Both fighters are considered top athletes as they both had successful collegiate football careers before making the transition into mixed martial arts (MMA).
The announcement was made by Mark Fischer of UFC this weekend:
Mark Fischer has just announced Matt Mitrione vs Shawn Jordan for UFC Macau #ufc #mma #thefightnation
— The Fight Nation (@TheFightNation) January 4, 2014
This is one of the better match ups as both are known for throwing heavy leather. Jordan will likely have the advantage in power, while "Meathead" will rely on his footwork and movement to stay out of range.
In other words, this scrap should end in a knockout ... early. Hopefully, it's spectacular enough to earn the "Knockout of the Night" honors.
TUF: "China" Finale is headlined by a Welterweight bout between John Hathaway and Dong Hyun.

The other day, I went out with my Aunt to visit her Alma Mater. When it's already lunch time, we went out of the University and decided to look around for restaurants. (Well, she doesn't like Fastfood. Haha) So a few blocks away from it was Papa John's! Papa John's has been my favorite since I first tasted it when I was still doing my internship at this so and so hotel. A co-intern let me and others tasted it! It was soooooo good! And finally, I got that chance to fully tried it!
Let me share to you what made my tummy happy recently! Some may be new promos, discoveries and let me also share my favorite recipe with yah! ;)
Probably one of the best combos Shakey's has ever made. My good old Bunch of Lunch still makes me happy until today. Chicken, Mojos, Pizza, Garlic Bread and Spaghetti. Really affordable, but good enough to satisfy my cravings.
James and I met up twice a week last week and it has always been an absolute joy in my heart. First was when we had Fatboys and tried some sweets! But before that, we had this: This combo with Spaghetti, Chicken, Pizza, Veggies and Egg.. yes an egg. I had some Lasgna. Since I'm a bit full.
After eating at Countryside, I was craving for something sweet and James let me decide on where to eat next. Since it's the closest, we tried it! The place is a bit small, but good enough for a group of friends. They may have limited menu items I'm sure that as the days pass by they'll add more and more crepes!
He waited long enough for this. And he's really happy. He loves the ambiance, interiors, good service and nonetheless, the food! After 48hrs of seeing each other we decided to meet up again for a quick date before he returns again for work.
We tried their Burgers before, this time we had their rice meals, (Spoiler Alert: we're going to try their sausages soon too, hahaha) Size Matters never fails to make our tummies happy. :)
Cuddle weather has been around for these past few days.. and for me instead of going out, I'd rather stay in and just eat. Besides James brought a BFF Bundle, he kinda forced me to go out after a while. But before that, let me just share the BFF Bundle! With the Mcdo's New BFF Bundle, besides the burgers, did you know it has another bundle which is good for chicken and rice or spaghetti and of course it's with BFF Fries! Really perf for a small group of friends. :)
Bean & Butter Cafe offers Coffee, House Blend Tea, Ice Blended Drinks, Cupcakes, Pasta, Sandwiches and Rice Meals. Although a bit far from us, it's located at Unit 3 Lancaster Square, Advincula Road, Alapan IIB, Imus, Cavite, we still pushed through because we wanted to try something nice. From the Bacao-Centenial Road, stop at the intersection turn left going to Kalayaan, went straight passing by Antel, Lancaster and several subdivisions. It's located at the farthest part of Lancaster Estate, before St. Edwards school.
Rediscover Reese's Throwback Festival Fair was held last August 2, 2014 at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall from 10:00am to 9:00pm. It was just a sudden change of plans and I ended up there. And probably one of the best decisions for that day. Since it's a Fair, Reese's had different games and treats for everyone! They also had sweet treats for everyone and ended the fair with a Mini Concert of Itchyworms and Never the Strangers. Fun Day indeed!

Obama steps in to push health plan as critical date draws near
(Reuters) - Fending off delays and a barrage of political criticism of his signature healthcare law, President Barack Obama on Thursday touted benefits Americans already are reaping from the law and vowed to work through setbacks to fully implement it. "Generally speaking, what we've seen is that healthcare costs have slowed drastically in a lot of areas since we passed the Affordable Care Act," Obama said at a White House event, surrounded by individuals who have seen their health insurance costs drop. "I recognize that there are a lot of folks, in this town at least, who are rooting for this law to fail," the president said. "What I've heard is just the same old song and dance. We're just going to blow through that stuff," he added.

No Snow Villiers, they're running away from the game.
Well the most anticipated game of the year, Final Fantasy XIII, is about to make it's way to the American shores. Professional Japanese reviewers loved it! Professional American reviewers loved it! But whats this? The game scored a 3/5 on Amazon Japan player review. It appears Japanese players are split. On one side, they see it as an evolution, on the other side it's deemed dull and repetitive, amidst all the hype and production.
I took the time to translate (with the best of my ability) certain bad Amazon reviews that gave the game a score of 1/5. Once the American version is released I want to compare if generally, Square Enix made a game that would appeal more towards International communities than their own.
Japanese Player Reviews
"The game stuffed in a lot of terminology and phrases which I found terrible. I wanted to enjoy more of the story, but I had to remember all of these made up words... There isn't a town either. Plus, shops are attached to a save point, there isn't even communication with the shopkeeper either. It's strange to wonder why the producer would remove such features and think it would be fun for an RPG " ~Mamasan
"This game is like one straight road from start to end. There aren't that many people you come in contact with. It makes you feel isolated and lonely. You can't even control the other party members , they just act on their own. Like they would just defend when I didn't want them to. You really need a brain to understand this story, it's really incomprehensible. I am very disappointed" ~Faran
"13 is like a terrible "Linear CG Game." They took away our rights of enjoying an RPG by discarding things like 'Story' and 'Content'." ~morgan
"The battles were useless. Early on you just repeated the same attacks until you got tired of them. It wasn't interesting (except the summons!) Later on in the game you will die frequently if you don't utilize the Optima system. " ~y
"The journey through this game is like just one long straight path… Generally, I'd evaluate this game as trashy. I feel as if the producer thought that this game would be popular just by slapping the name of Final Fantasy onto it. I feel uneasy about FF Versus after playing this." ~dustpan
"Where on earth did Final Fantasy go? I've been playing FF games before I could even write Hiragana. I've been very happy with them since. However the direction of the games has shifted over several years, never returning to what it was. " ~?
"I regretted my purchase of this game. I felt that it was just light on content and heavy on pretty visuals." ~
"Final Fantasy 10 was good. Final Fantasy 13 is a pain. (FF12 I just didn't find interesting.)… Playing this game is painful from beginning to end. [Battlewise,] I feel that we should be able to move in real-time freely. We should be able to walk around to any dungeon we want… I didn't really feel like playing this narrow path. It wasn't until Chapter 10 where I was able to actually walk around [in an open field]. That place was large and beautiful, but it still ended up rather annoying than pleasant. " ~Ruru
"I tried FF13, I was impressed with the quality of the visuals. I didn't really care much for the beginning but I finally gave up at Chapter 10. I felt stressed out after the amount of game overs I got from battling common enemies. You have to put in a lot of patience and spiritual strength for this game, but for me I just sold it." ~wind
"This game is like a movie, with many cutscenes that pop up to disturb the tempo of the game… With so many cutscenes, the player feels left behind. In fact, I don't even understand what the main characters are doing in the first 2-4 hours of gameplay. At least there is a dictionary within the game [to explain the terminology.] Battles get repetitive. It's because much of the battle system is locked away in the early parts of the game. They should have implemented something that allows us to access these systems whenever we want to. " ~Pundel
"…It feels like watching a visual novel with no choices [for dialogue]. This isn't even an RPG muchless… [Squarenix] what were you doing all this time when you postponed the game?" ~waiting
"As a full time working adult, I can stay up all night with a game if it's interesting. As for this game, I can only spend 2 hours with it. " ~
"The story isn't well developed. I felt it was childish and full of contradictions. I'd say it felt like "playing a game on rails." ~
"Story: Not interesting. I get irritated with indecisive characters, especially "Hope" in particular. Battle: If you do it properly you can win, but, you may make a mistake if you don't understand what you are selecting for the optima system. Most uninteresting thing: Buying weapons and items within the save point…" ~polarbear
The story, music, and graphics are good… We play with the main characters through this narrow straight path. Afterwards, we are shown a cutscene > forced battle > cutscene > and continue playing again through this straight unwavering path. This pattern continues on for eternity. You may hear some chatter in a town, but even a concept like "shopping" isn't in the game. The town's only existence is just so that the main characters may pass through it… [The town] is actually a part of the dungeon so to speak. ~monpuchi
"I was disgusted with this uninteresting story. I had to pull myself away from the story, the ambiguous background and setting, the stinky characters with their poor dialogue, you can't feel any empathy for any of it. What the heck is a Fal'cie? Is there not a "regular" town? An Airship? Can we at least have conversations with the people in towns? I found the terminology to be dull, "Purge the L'cie of Pulse" I don't even understand that… There weren't many antagonist characters, sure they did have many types of similar enemy soldiers and weapons, but you couldn't feel any affection (or sense of attachment) to them… Although, the battles were interesting, I just wasn't able to become very familiar with it…. I miss some of the FF of olden days. Where did Final Fantasy go? Yes the graphics are beautiful, but I believe the script, which is the most important aspect of an RPG went to trash [in this game.] I am really disappointed considering I was a FF fan for such a long time. " ~maru
The Best Worst Review
This review was actually quite funny to read. I think he kind of rambled off and on but you can see this game has affected him.
"Good Points about this game…
Well, the movie scenes are pretty!
The main character is a hot chick!
Well that's it, just two [good] points.
It's hard to even relax in this game because there isn't really a town. You keep fighting from beginning to end. Heck, the battles tend to go on.. And, for some reason the producer thought the players would be strong, so he made the enemies stronger. Maybe he thought we'd enjoy this.
I want to be able to quickly advance through a dungeon, but the enemies are soo strong… I get really irritated…
This may be unrelated but, for those of you who quit smoking, you really should have never done that. I really want a cigarette so badly right now. I am really stressed out.
The battles has this command strategy called "Optima." The characters look great when they pose, but… During that moment, you are completely defenseless. 'Cause if the character you are controlling dies, it's Game Over!
The story is the worst. Right at the start of the game, you get these incredibly confusing terms like Fal'cie and L'cie..
When Square Enix came to be, their Final Fantasy games turned to crap." ~hiro
Well there you have it. From this I conclude the reason Japanese hate Final Fantasy is due to it's linearity, confusing terminology, and lack of towns. The game does indeed have a city known as "Nautilus" which you can explore to some extent. But in reality, it is just a place you visit to continue the story. After you complete the story, the game throws up several missions where players can kind of explore areas they've seen.

Continuing on the with the series... if you're just joining us, and are intrigued, please click HERE to catch up on what the series is about.
The film in the series we tackled was Ousmane Sembene's first feature-length film (although it's only 66 minutes), La Noir De (aka Black Girl). If you missed that entire discussion (which I believe continues) click HERE.
We continue the series with our discussion of Sembene's second film, Mandabi, which was released in 1968, 2 years after Black Girl.
As an aside, one reader suggested that this series would be better served in a live conversation, like via a podcast. And I agreed to that! It's actually a good idea and something that I plan to make a reality eventually. But for right now, we'll continue in this blog format. Thanks to all those who chimed in on Black Girl! There were some good comments.
Let's see what you made of Mandabi. Let me also just say that the point of this, really, is to encourage you all to watch these early Diaspora films by the masters, who came before the names we all know about today. They were making films at a time in our history when being of African descent and a filmmaker was far more challenging to accomplish than anything black filmmakers struggle with today. And I believe that these films and filmmakers from yesteryear, especially those who aren't talked about as much, but deserve to be, should be recognized and their work not forgotten
All that said, let's discuss Mandabi.
"Mandabi" translates as "money order" in English. The film tells the story of Ibrahima Dieng, a pompous, foolish Senegalese man who receives a large money order from a nephew working in Paris. However, he can't cash it, because he lacks proper identification, a problem he spends days trying to rectify - a journey fraught with cheaters, liars, and worse, who have their eyes set on the money as well, after the man's wives unknowingly help leak the information.
Mandabi, unlike Semebene's last film we discussed, Black Girl, is a comedy - a humorous social critique, we could say; though like Black Girl, deceptively simple and direct on its surface, but more layered and complex underneath.
Like most of Sembene's films, it's essentially commentary on, and analysis of, the cultural legacy of colonialism, as our hero is forced to leave the safety of his traditional community, in which he is dominant, and thrust into an intimidating Neo-Colonialist bureaucracy, where he finds himself a victim; and the money order sent by his Paris-based nephew ends up being more of a burden, than the invaluable aid it was meant to be.
It's at times painfully humorous, as Sembene essentially holds a mirror up to his beloved country.
I think of Kafka of all people, and the hopelessness and absurdity that are common themes in his works.
So, did you watch it, as requested? You had 2 long weeks to do so. And if you did, or if you're already familiar with it, share your thoughts, comments, questions, observations, etc, in the comment section below, and let's discuss.
For those who haven't seen it, and who are interested in joining the dialogue, the film is on Netflix, both on DVD and is also streaming, so you're a few clicks away from watching it. You can also pick it up on Amazon if you prefer.
Here are the first 2 minutes of Mandabi, which I think set the tone for the rest of the film:
@kiratiana | April 1, 2013 2:54 AM
Why am I always the last person to comment on things? I took some time this weekend to watch Mandabi and I'll admit I was blown away. I kept asking myself if this film was really filmed in 1968? Ousmane's thinking/commentary about woman's rights, countrywide poverty, education, religion and empty pride was so on point. It's sad that I think this film still today reflects a significant part of Senegalese society. I'm a francophile and have visited Senegal twice so this film was a joy to watch because... I'm a francophile! Below are some random thoughts I had about the film.
MAIN THESIS - I have to agree with Tambay's assessment above that the film is a critique of colonialism. But I'm wondering if the hero's unfortunate experience in trying to cash the money order is a direct reflection Senegal as a country? The money is coming from France and in 1968 Senegal was (and probably still is) getting most of its money from France. By the time it reached Senegal, it wasn't going to the people who needed it but the elites (like the cousin). Furthermore, Senegal was beaming with pride at this time having just achieved its independence. But is Ousmane really saying that independence really doesn't mean anything if you can't generate enough jobs to keep people from escaping to France and thereby sending French money home?Ousmane was clearly criticizing his country's "false pride" that wasn't reflected in education, money and jobs.
VISUAL IMAGERY - I personally loved the intimate cinematography of the film. I get a sense that Ousmane (or whoever the DP was) spent a lot of time framing his scenes to be perfect in their composition. One of the best scenes was when one of the guys' wives left her crying child to massage her husband's legs. We then see a scene in which the baby is crying to the side and I think the white baby doll is on the other side (don't even get me STARTED about that).
RELIGION - I'm wondering how religious Ousmane was because he has some significant criticism for the way people abuse the tenets of Islam, such has the fact that you must give to be blessed (giving so much you don't hav anything for yourself.) I absolutely LOVED when the nephew says that ONLY Allah knows how that 25,000 CFA got stolen. OKAY...
WOMEN IN SENEGAL- I love Ousmane's realistic capture of the stature of women in Senegal. The work ALOT, but somehow have control over everything. I found myself wondering how these women could stay with this man who hasn't had a job in four years. But society in 1968 was much different than American society today. If these women had left the man, they would have been without a house and with seven kids!
THE NEPHEW - He speaks French and represents the educated. I honestly didn't understand what he was trying to do. Buy his nephew's house? Sell his nephew's house? And I'm assuming he did this when he had his uncle signed the paper? Was that his lover waiting for him at the house during his siesta?
Loved this film. Can't wait to see more!

Thank you very much for having this dialogue! Not many others are, which is a shame, because it's very much necessary that we appreciate and recognize our forefathers of cinema.
For your information, I wrote an essay on Mandabi a few years ago called Mandabi: The Political Use Of Realism, in which I discuss Sembene's great use of what we call realism in cinema for political end. You will find the essay here: http://bit.ly/16W9TlI

I personally enjoyed the film. I love how it is a comedy with a legit theme and message that fits that plot effortlessly instead of most comedies in which themes and messages are crowbarred and shoehorned in. The theme about corruption that was related back in those times can easily be applied today.
Stew | March 25, 2013 5:58 PM
If I can be blunt and say that the crudeness of the image made it hard to watch at first. I don't know if it's Netflix's copy that they have streaming, like maybe they don't have an HD copy, or if that's just how the image is. But I did watch it a second time and was able to get past the image and sound quality. I'm a little surprised though that it's being described as a "comedy", because, yes, while it does it have its humorous moments, it's also hard to watch this poor man as he goes through his various schemes trying to do a simple thing like cashing a money order. At almost every turn, there are human vultures waiting to get him, to give him way less money than he deserves for a necklace, to demand a bribe for a teller in a bank, to take a photo and not deliver the goods. We see a society rank with corruption that especially hurts those who are illiterate and/or poor. As an American, I was quite entranced by its glimpse into another part of the world that is probably all too familiar to millions of people outside of the West, but revelatory for those of us used to seeing Africa as a backdrop for white characters and storylines. And since we keep talking about remakes I think this is a film that a contemporary adaptation could be made based on it.
blah, blah | March 25, 2013 5:09 PM
Mandabi is the third or fourth I've seen of Sembenes and instantly became number one. Ironically I watched it right after seeing Vittorio De Sica's The Bicycle Thief and instantly drew a comparison. Basically both are simple stories; The aspect of what a person, in this case Ibrahim, has to go through including wild goose chases through bureaucracy and being conned by your own countrymen, only to being force to take drastic matters into their own hands and yet be sadly disappointed at the end. As comical as the film is, towards the end you feel pity for him because of how unfair "the system" has treated him because he lacks the proper uneducated, identification and influence to do the basic task of just cashing a check. For those who have been or are sympathetic to the plight of the poor in our own country, you know how hard it is to gain access to money if caught up in the same position as Ibrahim. Likewise, how to the cycle of poverty tends to continue as what is ultimately yours becomes the entire community. It is more than the crabs in barrel syndrome, which we know it as, but rather a very socialist aspect in communities where people want to share the wealth. This kind of thinking has done many of pro-athletes hailing from poor communities and Mc Hammer a personal disservice as the promise of money, created its own economy in itself in which fed lots of people.
However what's interesting is how the main character Ibrahim assist in his own demise through his negative pride, sexism and inflated self-importance. For me, I always felt like it was a great allegory to dispel the myth that folks are just cogs in a system when in actuality folks are active players.
Okay that is all I have for now. Can't wait to read what everybody else came up with.
