Well...first of all...he already plays for a playoff team and a Superbowl contender. Isn't that what all players are essentially looking for?
Hardy deserves to get paid like a top 5 DE. He has been the best player in the league at his position in the last 4 weeks. But honestly, Hardy is a smart guy. I'm sure he has other criteria for signing with a franchise in addition to big money. He can get big money just about anywhere (within the division or without).
Where else is he going to have a CJ type rusher on the other side, two huge physical DTs to eat up the middle and the leagues best LB duo behind him?
Surely Hardy understands that his production, while impressive, is still predicated on a team effort. Surely he realizes that signing a huge contract with a team like Buffalo or Houston or whatever might yield nice bank, but wouldn't be professionally satisfying because he'd be sitting at home watching January football on his couch.
I know players have to think about their futures and are not likely to take less money for such a brief, risky career. But if the guy likes to win football games, he might think about taking slightly less $$$ to stay with the franchise that developed him from a diamond in the rough to the mythological beast he has become.
Will he choose with his head or his heart?

Not to mention the rushing yards and the rushing TDs. Approx. 700 yards rushing and 8 TDs over that period. And even then, the stats don't show the whole picture because Cam makes amazing plays with his feet where he (for example) will run 75 total yards, just to pick up 14. So...yeah he's a special player and is on an absolute tear right now, and can still get better.
It's about time the wins started catching up with the talent. It has a lot to do with how Cam has grown as a person and a leader.
Posted by Achilles on 18 November 2013 - 06:28 AM
Of course, this is based on them playing one more game than us, so it is not an apt comparison until after we face the Pats. I am just going to go ahead and assume both thread makers realized this before making the thread.
Will we manage to keep Brady and Co. to under 12.8 points in this game? I sure as hell hope so, but I wouldn't fugging bet on it.
IMO the only ranking that matters is called the standings. Beating the Pats would put us in a great position to maintain our hold on the #5 seed. I don't care if we give up 30 points and 500 yards as long as we win this damn game.

The way he broke down that Niners play against "cloud coverage" makes it pretty clear that it will take strong individual efforts from Keek and TD to contain this SF offense. They are going to have to be spot on with the way they flow to pass coverage and still be there is run support and to spy Colin K. Even though the play he suggested was a pass play (not SF strength), you can see how it would beat us. They could beat us all day on plays like that because Kap can run if the play breaks down and still pick up 7-10 yards. If we are able to take away their effectiveness on the ground somewhat, a play like this could still work. If we let them play in under our zone (which is what Matt Ryan did with Gonzalez) they can eat up chunks of yardage through the air. We took care of that in the second half vs ATL, but the difference is Vernon Davis who is maybe the best TE in the game at getting upfield and open on those vertical routes. Can our safeties cover him? I doubt it. What if they get him out on a cornerback? Mismatch all day.
Gore is a beast. Colin K is a wildcard (could have a bad day and still make a play to hurt us). This is a great test for this defense.
Defensive struggle? Shootout? Blowout? This game is wildly unpredictable. The Czar picked us, but I don't get the sense from his breakdown that he favors us by much. He essentially thinks that Cam is better that Kap and that will be the difference. I hope he is right.

I hate college football. There I said it.
Posted by Achilles on 08 November 2013 - 06:09 PM
Neither team scores 20 points and it is a close defensive contest.
A defense or special teams score could decide this one.
I look for our offense to do something early, but struggle to score in the 2nd half.
Can't pick a winner...but I will say I like our chances to at least hang with the Niners.
Likely a close contest down to the end. This could be the REAL test Cam/Rivera have been waiting for all year. Can they pass?
Posted by Achilles on 01 November 2013 - 05:13 AM
So far we have beaten the teams we should beat (NYG, Vikings, and TB). These teams did not match up well against us and were already playing poorly. The Rams were a much better team than these others (though now they are going to sink into obscurity without Bradford). In every facet of the game, we dominated these teams. Atlanta certainly looks on paper like these other teams in terms of personnel, coaching, and general crappiness.
If this Atlanta game gets chippy (like the Rams game), I expect our players to handle it as well as they did vs. STL. I could see it happening because our D-line is nasty and they probably will hit Matt Ryan a few times and maybe put his face in the dirt and O-lineman hate that poo. I could also see Smitty inciting the Falcons DBs into a contest of words (even though they have been forewarned). When you are losing (like ATL at 2-5) and you are used to winning, those frustrations bubble to the surface and professionalism goes out the window.
I hope Rivera is talking about the psychological advantage this week and getting off to a fast start. Looking at the match ups, we clearly have the upper hand:
We stop the run and they struggle to run the ball
We pressure the QB and they struggle to pass block
We have a diverse running game on top of having a pocket passer who is playing great football and they don't have much of a D-line
We are at home and on a 3 game winning streak and they are depleted and struggling to score points
We are in the middle of a wild card race and still have an outside shot at challenging for the division and they have been out of the picture since week 3
We are young, talented, and hungry and they are nearing the end of an era with their coaching staff
Of course it is a division game where anything can happen, but fans should be confident about this one because the pendulum is swinging our way and I think this game will be another momentum builder. I don't have any desire to predict a score, but it could very well be that this game goes the way of our 4 previous wins.
Posted by Achilles on 25 October 2013 - 05:42 AM
Teams we have steamrolled: NYG, Minn., STL, TB. Teams remaining on our schedule: ATL, SF, NE, NO, Mia, NYJ.
You get the picture. We have no more cupcakes. These MFers are for real, legit NFL caliber teams fighting for playoff spots. We certainly can beat anyone, but I don't expect us to get out to a 15 point lead against all of these teams.
What gives me hope about this season is that we are able to win the games we ought to win based on talent and intensity.
What concerns me is that we don't exactly know how this team will respond to being down a score or two because we haven't been in several weeks.
Who will we be down 4 with 5 minutes remaining in the 4th quarter? Who will we be down 10 in the second quarter. Who will we be down 3 with 1:15 to go on our own 20 yd. line and only 1 time out?
I am as ready as anyone to proclaim this Panthers team ready to compete for a playoff spot (and maybe actually vie for the division). I can see us continuing our current form, but I'm just saying...there will be a situation in which we let a team like NE hang around or a team like NO jump out to a two score lead. What will happen then? History shows that we melt down. When we manage to overcome that recent history, then we will ascend into the upper echelon of NFL teams.
I think this is a different team. But I won't believe it until I see it.
Posted by Achilles on 17 October 2013 - 05:28 AM
Going for it on 4th and 1 deep in your opponents territory a few times a season is not a coaching philosophy. It's just taking the chances that are presented. It could be that 5 games go by without us facing that down and distance situation. Do we have to convert on 4th downs in order to win games? There shouldn't be such a strong correlation there.
The fact is that we won those 2 games because our defense was nasty and our offense got on track. Yes, the 2 4th down conversions on that one drive set the tone and demoralized Minn. But it is a two-edged sword. I would argue that LaFell's drop on 4th down vs. AZ was equally demoralizing. We didn't even sniff the red zone after that drive. You live by it and you die by it. That's no way to go about setting your team up to win. Granted, we should always run in that situation (passing is just too risky; even though LaFell was wide open, the play was a bust), but I don't think going for it on 4th down can be the only identity of this team and coach. What do you fail to convert? An automatic loss? No...we must be more proficient on 3rd down on those kinds of drives to have long term success.
My point is: we have to be able to win games even when Ron doesn't have to make this call. We have to be able to win games even when we don't blow a team out of the water.

Your Panthers themed speakeasy is impressive. I think it is a shame for you to keep that museum quality decor hidden from the public eye. You need to just go ahead and open a sports bar.
If you build it, they will come.

He's turned a profit for 18 years. He's had a winning season 4 times. That should tell you all you need to know. You can't really blame a businessman for paying attention to the bottom line. However, it is frustrating that he seems to favor profits over winning (or even fairness in terms of the CBA and refs, etc.).
If you were the man in the luxury box, you might not give a fug about the little guy either. Where would that get you? JR is afraid that it would lose him money. That's his prerogative. It's his money and this is a capitalist society.
When you consider that every PSL owner is like an investor and that its the CEO's job to make sure investors get a return on their investment...then the whole business model kind of breaks down. If entertainment is the return you want (especially in terms of deep playoff runs and Superbowl appearances) then he isn't delivering.
One more thing: Losing can actually still be entertaining. Just look at how traffic on this board picks up the worse this team looks. Tragedy is just as entertaining as comedy. In any given game, somebody has to lose...it's just usually us. Fans are still a part of the drama. JR knows this and that is why he runs his business the way he does. If you don't like it, you don't have to watch.
Posted by Achilles on 07 October 2013 - 05:42 AM
When the players fug up, its up to the coaches to get the team back on track. This team just kept getting worse and worse. We barely even sniffed the red zone in the second half. We were thoroughly out-coached by Arians. Our O-line was thoroughly dominated by the AZ 3-4 defense. Their linebackers looked like all pros (I know they are very good).
We were just completely beaten in all phases. Coming off a Bye week, we looked about as bed as ever. That game reminds me exactly of the way we lost the Seattle and Dallas games last season. It is a trend that keeps coming back. The team was not prepared to win that game. They didn't even seem like they cared very much about winning as I really didn't see much intensity. After Smitty dropped that sure TD pass, everything went south. Once LaFell dropped that pass and we only made it out of the half with 6 points, I knew AZ would eventually get going and take the lead. It was obvious and it happened like clockwork.
Shula himself didn't directly lose the game. His players didn't execute and that's not his fault. There were enough good play calls made that could have resulted in success. I put the blame on RR for not having his team prepared and focused once again. Shula isn't going to win you any games just with his sheer brilliance or lose you games with incompetence. He's not the best OC in the league and never has been, but when your players don't have focus and drop sure passes or throw into coverage, what can you do?

The Fender Vintage Tweed Guitar Strap employs material like that on the Fender Tweed amps and guitar cases, but softened for comfort. Brown leather ends. 2" wide, Adjusts 35-72" long.
I bought this strap to go with my classic 50's Strat and my Fender tweed case. It matches the case perfectly. This strap is plenty long extending to 72". The material is softer than it looks on the internet. I thought it would be stiff but it's not and it's very comfortable to wear. Because it's soft it might not be as comfortable with a heavy guitar but it seems fine with my Strat.
This is a great strap. I've had mine forever and have never had one problem with it. My guitar has never fallen loose of the holes on the ends and i don't use strap buttons. Looks cool too.
This is the strap to have if you like vintage Fender Tweedy looks. I own the Tweed Blues Deluxe amp and the Fender Tweedy hardshell case. I love this stuff. I wish the strap was a little thicker though, you know, not so flexy. It is quite soft and seems to wear well. No complaints. Nice price. Stays put, both on the guitar and the shoulder.

Film7070 Week 6: 1961 & 1990 March 13, 2011Posted by Ian W in : DVD Viewing Journal , add a comment
1961: Tierra Brutal aka The Savage Guns
I had high hopes for Tierra Brutal. It's a film that's not easy to find, but, being a fan of Richard Basehart since watching him as Admiral Nelson in Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea as a boy, the prospect of seeing him take the lead in what I'd heard described as a proto-spaghetti western (it was filmed in Spain) was hard to resist. So perhaps my expectation were a little high when I finally tracked it down. I was hoping to unearth a hidden gem, what I got was a fairly standard B western that has little of the style of the spaghetti westerns that were to come a few short years later.
Perhaps this lack of continental flavour shouldn't have come as a surprise, the film was directed by an Englishman, Michael Carreras, a name that's more familiar to horror fans than western aficionados. Michael was a producer and director with Hammer Films and the son of the studios founder Sir James Carreras. Not the sort of background you'd expect for a western movie director but he does a competent, if decidedly unspectacular, job.
Basehart does well as the gunfighter who's looking for a place to hang up his guns (yes that old chestnut) but finds it's never that easy to escape your past. The rest of the cast is made up of minor American actors, attractive Spanish ladies and a presumably hard up Fernando Rey. All of which leads to a frankly rather dull 90 minutes.
1990: The Reflecting Skin
Philip Ridley is a director who divides audiences, is he pretentious and deliberately obscure or a visionary filmmaker who gives us a quirky, and often bleak, view of the world? After watching The Passion of Darkly Noon I was leaning more towards visionary than pretentious and The Reflecting Skin has pushed me further that way.
Told from a child's perspective but with little of the happy nostalgia such films usually foster, this is a bleak look at depression era rural America. The film lacks any characters you can really identify with, everyone is a little weird, not least our central character, ten year old Seth Dove, and they're not very sympathetic either. The film has a very dark tone and yet it's also strangely beautiful, there's some gorgeous cinematography.
It isn't without it's weak points - Jeremy Cooper, making his screen debut as Seth, isn't a strong enough actor to carry the film and the pace at times is too slow, although whenever you feel your attention starting to wander the film throws another level of weirdness at you that pulls you back in.
I don't want to give too much away, I knew very little about the film going in and I think that worked in its favour. It's a hypnotic, at times deeply disturbing drama with some strong supporting performances, Duncan Fraser as Seth's Father being worthy of special mention, as is Sheila Moore as his tyrannical and mentally unstable Mum. It's not a film that's quickly forgotten, there is at least one truly horrifying moment and enough disturbing images for a few nightmares but there's also the question of what Ridley was trying to say with his portrait of this truly dysfunctional family. Ridley's view of childhood certainly isn't the rose coloured golden years that the movies often promote it as. The superficial beauty of the setting contrasting with the dark secrets that all the characters have.
Film7070 Week 5: 1957 March 5, 2011Posted by Ian W in : DVD Viewing Journal , 3 comments
1957: The Tall T
I've often heard the classic westerns produced by Director Budd Boetticher and star Randolph Scott spoken of with a reverence reserved for the likes of the Mann/Stewart and Ford/Wayne partnerships but until watching The Tall T my only experience of the pairs output was the superior revenge western 7 Men from Now. It's fair to say that after watching The Tall T I'm now a fan and you'll probably see a couple more of their films popping up in Film7070 in the coming weeks.
Several things set the The Tall T apart from the crowd of low budget westerns of the period, for starters there's the script from Burt Kennedy. The first twenty minutes or so are spent establishing Scott's character Pat Brennan, and it's twenty minutes full of information - he's a rancher, he works alone, he quit his previous job as a foreman on a larger spread to try his luck on his own, he's unmarried and he's not adverse to a gamble, the latter fact leaving him afoot when he wagers his horse against a prize bull. The result of all this is that we feel like we know Brennan in a short space of time, and we like him, he's a happy-go-lucky kind of guy who takes the rough with the smooth and doesn't bear a grudge, although he's not one to be laughed at. The beauty of Kennedy's script is that we get all this information from a few exchanges that never feel anything but natural, there's no sense of forced exposition. This deftness of touch is apparent throughout the film as we are introduced to other characters.
The film also features two fine performances, firstly from Scott and also from Richard Boone as the films main villain Frank Usher. Scott's an actor I've grown to appreciate more as I've got older, growing up I always found him wooden and unconvincing. It took Sam Peckinpah's Ride the High Country to convince me there was more to Scott than I'd originally thought and I think he's certainly an actor who improved with age. Here he's given a wonderfully rounded character to play, and he exudes rough charm and ready wit as Brennan.
It's rare for a western villain to be as fleshed out a Boone's Usher. He's far more than the usual 'black hat' for the hero to face. He's charming, funny and, were it not for some of the acts he's instigated, he'd be a likeable guy. There's a sense that, under different circumstances, he could have been living Brennan's life, the two characters being similar in many respects. I may not have cared for Scott as I was growing up but Boone is an actor I've always admired. I'm too young to remember his most famous roll as Paladin in Have Gun Will Travel but I remember watching Hec Ramsey, which started in the early seventies when I was about seven or eight. The Tall T came out the same year Have Gun Will Travel debuted on TV and it's easy to see how he made the leap from supporting actor to TV star.
Boetticher weaves these elements together to create a tense little film that's low on gun play but high on character, but when the lead does start flying he handles the action with as much aplomb as the psychological thrills that have gone before. He even manages to make you wonder if things will follow their usual path for a low budget oater i.e. the villains lying dead in the dirt while the hero rides off with the girl, although in this case the girl, Maureen O'Sullivan, most famous (to me at least) as Jane to Johnny Weissmuller's Tarzan, hadn't been a 'girl' for some time. It's one more thing that sets Boetticher's film apart, it's not just the maturity with which the film is handled, it's the maturity of the characters themselves.
I think I'll stop now as this is coming dangerously close to a full review, something that was never the plan for Film7070 posts, but I will leave you with this - if you are a fan of the western genre then you owe it to yourself to seek out The Tall T. Trust me you won't regret it.
Film7070 Week 4: 2007 February 19, 2011Posted by Ian W in : DVD Viewing Journal , add a comment
2007: Hot Fuzz
Well if the idea behind Film7070 was to see how films have influenced each other over the years then I doubt I'll find a film where the influences are easier to spot than Hot Fuzz. There's no subtlety to Hot Fuzz's filmic referencing, the characters talk about then, we see the videos on display and, just in case you're a complete novice when it comes to the action movie genre, we even get clips from a couple (Point Break and Bad Boys II). It's this OTT action movie lovefest that sets the film apart from the same creative teams superior Shaun of the Dead.
Shaun payed tribute to it's zombie forbears with a nod and a wink, and if you missed it in didn't matter, the film worked perfectly well without. Shaun was a horror comedy while Hot Fuzz is a spoof, and as a spoof it requires you know what's being spoofed, because if you don't the film doesn't work. This may sound like a complaint, and to some degree it is, but a good spoof can still be an entertaining film, just look at Airplane or Blazing Saddles. It's also something that's very hard to do well, just look at…well pretty much every other spoof.
Hot Fuzz does it well, it hits the target far more than it misses and even scores a couple of bulls-eyes. It's not as well written and it's characters aren't as believable as those in Shaun of the Dead; who do you relate to more, Pegg's supercop or Shaun who works in a shop, has trouble with his girlfriend and likes a drink down the pub? That was a rhetorical question by the way, unless John McClane's reading this. It's our identification with the characters that makes Shaun such a joy to watch, with Hot Fuzz it's the situations that elicit the humour.
I guess what it comes down to is I'd rather watch a comedy than a spoof, but if I've got to watch something being lampooned then I hope it's as entertainingly done as Hot Fuzz.
Next up some classic western action from 1957 with Randolph Scott in The Tall T.
Film7070 Week 3: 1970 February 7, 2011Posted by Ian W in : DVD Viewing Journal , add a comment
1970: The Dunwich Horror
This early attempt to bring the work of H.P. Lovecraft to the screen owes as much to Polanski's Rosemary's Baby as it does to the master of cosmic horror. There's little of the Old Ones here, the focus of the movie is Wilbur Whateley's attempt to seduce innocent Nancy Wagner (Sandra Dee) over to the dark side and in so doing put a devilish bum in her virgin oven.
Producer Roger Corman may have been the antecedent of Asylum, modern purveyors of direct-to-dvd knock-off trash, but at least when Corman did it he did it with class. He also knew talent when he saw it, with many great filmmakers getting their start with him and The Dunwich Horror features an early screen credit (as writer) for future Oscar winner Curtis Hanson.
The Dunwich Horror is no classic, but it does have some things to enjoy. Dean Stockwell's creepy Wilbur (could there be a less menacing name for a villain?) ranks at the top. There's a perverse malevolence to Stockwell's performance and he's always good value for money in villainous roles.
Another plus is the films restraint when it comes to showing Wilbur's monstrous sibling. Rather than show the obligatory craptastic monster, it keeps it hidden, either offscreen or behind a very sixties psychedelic light show, making the viewer add the details from their own imagination. Whether this is down to a stylistic choice by the filmmakers or to the fact the monster was so bad they dare not show it I don't know but it definitely works in the films favour.
I can't say I'd recommend The Dunwich Horror to any but the most diehard horror fan, there have been far better Lovecraft adaptations since (Re-Animator, From Beyond, Shatterbrain and Dagon come to mind) but there are far worse ways to spend 90 minutes.

Film7070 Week 2: 1978 February 2, 2011Posted by Ian W in : DVD Viewing Journal , add a comment
1978: The Shout
What to make of The Shout? Well this late seventies attempt at art house horror was, for me at least, a disappointing failure. It doesn't lack for quality acting talent, Alan Bates is as broodingly demonic as only Bates can be, while John Hurt does a decent job as the philandering husband who's household Bates insinuates himself into, although sadly the late Susannah York's talents are underused, she's little more than a symbol for the two men's power struggle and not a fully fleshed out character. The concept is also not uninteresting, Bates character utilising mystical powers he's learned while living with the Aborigines in the Australian outback to exert his influence over York and Hurt.
Or does he? The structure of the film leaves you wondering just how much of what you're seeing is actually real, the film being told by Bates while an inmate in an asylum. This too works in the films favour, giving it an element of mystery that means you're never sure where the film is heading, always a plus in this age of by the numbers plotting.
No, what ultimately disappointed me was the films climax, for it felt as if not only did the viewer not know where the film was heading but neither did the director. After a slow and purposeful buildup the film hurries headlong into a frenetic, madcap and, frankly, downright silly final ten minutes. It felt as if all concerned had grown bored with the films concept and decided to wrap things up as quickly as possible. While there were certainly things I enjoyed about The Shout, ultimately it's the feeling of dissatisfaction the ending engendered that has stayed with me and it's left me with little desire to seek out any of Jerzy Skolimowski's other films.
I'm already behind on these write-ups having just started week 4's viewing, so I'll try and get week 3 done this week as well, which will feature the rather less highbrow Roger Corman production of H.P. Lovecraft's The Dunwich Horror.

Film7070 Week 1: 1955 & 1965 January 25, 2011Posted by Ian W in : DVD Viewing Journal , 2 comments
What, you may be asking yourself, is Film7070? It started off as a challenge Dan Auty (aka MondoDan) set himself for 2011 - watch 70 films, one from each year from 1940 to 2009. There are a few rules - you can't have seen the films before, you have to watch at least one film from every continent (with the exception of Antarctica), you can't go back to a year until you've completed all seventy…you get the idea.
Word spread on Twitter and others took up the challenge - eatsleepjordan, gilesedwards, MrWengWeng, KYUSS123, emilybwebb, moviedan to name just a few. Some set up their own additional rules - doing the films in chronological order in eatsleepjordan and moviedan's case.
Always up for a movie watching challenge I jumped in too, like most of the Film7070 crew I saw it as an opportunity to fill in some gaps in my cinematic education, watch some neglected classics that have been sitting on a shelf gathering dust and, at least in my case, spread my horizons a little further afield than my regular viewing, for example I've got some Czechoslovakian SF lined up for 1963. Which brings us to this post. Rather than just watch the films and tweet about them after I decided I wanted to write a little more, not a full review but more than the 140 characters Twitter allows, so this is the first of my weekly Film7070 journals where I'll express my feelings about the films I've watched that week.
1955: Kiss Me Deadly
The first film I plucked from where it sat, unloved, on my shelf was Robert Aldrich's Kiss Me Deadly.
I don't know what I expected from Kiss Me Deadly. My vision of Mickey Spillane's PI Mike Hammer was coloured by Stacy Keach on TV and by Armand Assante in I, the Jury (one of my guilty pleasures). Ralph Meeker is something else again.
Meeker's Hammer isn't afraid of a little violence, in fact I think it's fair to say he positively enjoys it. The film features a couple of fight scenes between Hammer and hired goons Jack Lambert and Jack Elam but it's his encounter with little Percy Helton that stuck in my mind. Helton's morgue attendant makes the mistake of trying to extort money from Hammer but soon learns the error of his ways when he gets his fingers trapped in a desk drawer. What struck me about the scene wasn't the level of violence, you don't really see anything, it was the look of pleasure on Hammer's face as he tortures the diminutive doctor. It just serves to reinforce the notion that, while Hammer is the film's lead character, he's no hero.
Robert Aldrich isn't a new director to me, I've seen a fair few of his films. He's a director that can't be pigeonholed, he directed the action classic The Dirty Dozen but could also turn his hand to disturbing psychological thrillers like What Ever Happened to Baby Jane. So the fact that Kiss Me Deadly was so well crafted came as little surprise. What did surprise me was how influential the film feels. Surely this must be a favourite film of David Lynch, there's a sense of almost Lynchian weirdness to much of the film and characters, Percy Helton's previously mentioned morgue attendant for one and Gaby Rodgers waif-like but deadly femme fatale for another.
But it's not just Lynch's imagination that must have been fired by Aldrich's hardboiled classic. The films glowing 'great whats-it' was surely the spark that ignited the radiant car-boot/case/ark in…well you dont need me to tell that you I'm sure. It's that sense of filmmakers feeding off each other that was one of the things I was hoping to discover with Film7070 and for that aspect alone Kiss Me Deadly would have been a great first film but it's also a first rate thriller in its own right.
1965: The Spy Who Came in from the Cold
Like Aldrich, Martin Ritt wasn't a name unfamiliar to me, his work with Paul Newman on Hud and Hombre being particular favourites. He seemed an odd choice to helm an adaptation of a John le Carrè cold war thriller though, as I associated him with hot American deserts not drab English and German streets.
How wrong I was! He captures the gritty realism of the spy game just as well as the arid landscapes of the West. Shooting in black and white was a master stroke, everything seems so much more oppressive.
I used to think of Harry Palmer as the antithesis of James Bond, but Richard Burton's Alec Leamas makes Palmer seem positively whimsical by comparison. Burton's performance as the broken down, alcoholic spy sent on one last mission behind the Iron Curtain is the heart of the film. That grim black and white cinematography is how Burton's character views the world, drab and pointless. Only his relationship with an idealistic young woman gives him any respite from the dirty, backstabbing world of espionage and yet he'd rather face death on the job than suffer the slow death of a desk job.
The film isn't without it's flaws - a final act that feels rushed, a wayward accent from Sam Wanamaker - but Burton makes it worth seeing. There are also excellent, if a little too brief, turns from Cyril Cusack as spymaster Control and Michael Hordern and Robert Hardy as communist spys.
Like Kiss Me Deadly, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold feels influential, but this time that influence has been felt more on the small screen, from the obvious Tinker, Tailer, Soldier, Spy and Smiley's People (both adapted from le Carrè novels and featuring the character George Smiley who makes an appearance in The Spy Who Came in from the Cold) as well as Callan in the sixties and The Sandbagers in the seventies and even Spooks now.
So that's Film7070 week one done and two years, and two very enjoyable films down, sixty-eight to go!

Sci Fi Day: Transformers September 7, 2008Posted by Ian W in : DVD Viewing Journal , add a comment
Prior to Transformers I'd say I've probably got more entertainment from Paul W.S. Anderson's films than Michael Bay's, so it's fair to say I'm not a fan. It's not that Bay is a bad director, when it comes to action he can orchestrate mayhem like few others. My problem with Bay is that, when you take out the gunfire and explosions, you're left with clichéd stories, paper thin characters and not much else.
So why did I enjoy Transformers so much? Is it cleverly plotted? Not really it's about two factions of big robots looking for a cube. Does it have three dimensional characters who give us a deeper understanding of what it's like to be in life or death situations? Nope, it's full of beautiful people shouting, running and firing guns. No the reason Transformers works is because it doesn't need those things, it's as cartoon brought to life and its charm is simply this – robots are cool, big robots are even cooler and big robots fighting other big robots is uber-cool. As a bonus the film also has a charismatic lead whose star is very much on the rise in Shia LaBeouf, a smokin' hot action heroine in Megan Fox (she's probably got more balls than LaBeouf) and a script with a good level of humour that doesn't take itself too seriously. The only downer is Jon Voight and John Turturro overdoing it a little on the ham and cheese.
Forget Pearl Harbour, Armageddon and the rest, with Transformers Bay has found his ideal subject matter. Roll on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen! Now if only someone could find a way to stop him producing all those pointless horror remakes I could almost start to like the guy.

Sci Fi Day: Donnie Darko – The Director's Cut September 6, 2008Posted by Ian W in : DVD Viewing Journal , add a comment
Is Donnie Darko SF? Yes, but it's much more than that, it's a drama about family relationships, a mystery that will have your brain working overtime, it even flirts with horror at times. For me though it's a love story more than anything else. Would you commit the ultimate sacrifice to save someone you love, knowing that in doing so they'd no longer even remember you – that is the essence of Donnie Darko and what makes the final half hour such an emotional experience second time around, when you know what's going to happen. It's a film that can not only be enjoyed on repeat viewing but actually improves with them.
Jake Gyllenhaal is outstanding as Donnie, but there isn't a duff performance in the entire film. Richard Kelly directs with an abundance of style, an ear for music, and a deft touch when it comes to the family scenes. Even if he never makes another film of this calibre again, which from what I've heard of Southland Tales may be the case, at least we have this gem to treasure.
"Donnie Darko? What the hell kind of name is that? It's like some sort of superhero or something."
"What makes you think I'm not?"
What indeed.
You can read Dipa's first impression of the film here.
Sci Fi Day: E.T.: The Extra-TerrestrialPosted by Ian W in : DVD Viewing Journal , add a comment
This is really Sci Fi Day Part 2, picking up where we left off last weekend.
Spielberg's classic family film is essentially Lassie meets Close Encounters, of course the 'dog' in this boy and his dog tale is far more intelligent than any of the human protagonists, although, come to think of it, that's true of most Lassie films.
Henry Thomas and Drew Barrymore give excellent performances, particularly given their age and lack of experience at the time. While most child actors don't make the transition to adult roles (co-star Robert MacNaughton being a perfect example) both Thomas and Barrymore have gone on to successful careers, particularly Drew who we'll see again shortly in Donnie Darko.
The film still pushes all the right emotional buttons and has a timeless quality which will ensure it remains one of the all-time great family films, despite Spielberg 'doing a Lucas' and making unnecessary changes. Just for the record we watched the original version.
You'll find Dipa's thoughts on revisiting this childhood favourite here.
Sci Fi Day: Aliens vs Predator - Requiem August 31, 2008Posted by Ian W in : DVD Viewing Journal , 1 comment so far
I'm one of the few who liked Paul W.S. Anderson's Alien Vs Predator, so maybe I've got a higher than normal tolerance for crap films but this follow-up makes Anderson's film look like a classic. It takes the slasher film mentality, i.e. spend the first half of the film introducing the victims and the second half killing them off, the only difference here is the bogeyman is extraterrestrial in origin. Whereas the first film had the Predator as (sort of) the good guy, here it's a free for all with the humans caught in the middle, so think Freddy Vs Jason without the humour.
Full of stereotypical characters who follow predictable story arcs anyone who's seen Friday the 13th or any of its ilk will be able to predict who's going to die. In fact we had more fun predicting who would be next to croak than we did watching the film. A lot more.
The Strause Brothers direction generates no tension or suspense, the action is poorly choreographed and it doesn't even deliver on the gore front (even in this Unrated Cut). It's sad to see just how far these once mighty monsters have fallen, let's hope they leave them in peace now.
And the 'twist' ending was complete bollocks and made no sense at all.
For Dipa's equally negative review click here.
That's the end of Sci Fi Day for now. Like an all-you-can-eat buffet we attempted to devour more than we could possibly cram in in one sitting but we will do the remainder of the films (E.T., Transformers and Donnie Darko), probably next weekend.

The Pure, Simple and Natural in Art in Florence between the 16th and 17th century
Until 01/06/15
On view until January 6, 2015, the exhibition at the Uffizi Gallery is the result of a passionate critical-scientific study on Florentine painting between the 16th and 17th centuries, and intends to undermine the cliché of a very conservative Florentine culture and reveal the strength of novelty expressed in the city's artistic vein that remained faithful to its models between the 16th and 17th centuries, shedding light on the "novelty of tradition."
The exhibition is divided into five chronological and four thematic sections, and presents a total of 72 works of painting and sculpture that are exhibited by way of example, so as to privilege the values of stylistic and iconographic cohesion and a rather loose chronological ordering. It presents a veritable review of masterpieces, many of which have been restored specially for this occasion.
Gerard of the Night: Gerard van Honthorst's Curious Paintings and Merry Scenes. - From 02/10/15 to 05/24/15
Piero Di Cosimo: eccentric "Florentine" painter between Renaissance and Mannerism. - From 06/22/15 to 09/27/15

The Building
The Uffizi Palace was commissioned by Cosimo I de' Medici and designed by Vasari (16th Century). Many buildings were demolished to make space for building the new palace, with the most important being the church of San Piero Scheraggio.
The new palace, following the will of Cosimo I de' Medici, had to host the offices of thirteen administrative and judicial magistrates. During the construction of the building, Vasari died and his successors were Buontalenti and Alfonso Parigi. The first designed the Teatro Mediceo (Medici's Theater), as requested by Francesco I, son of Cosimo I, in 1586. This area became the seat of Italy's Senate when Florence was the capital of Italy in the 19th century.
The Uffizi Palace has a unusual U shape, which is closed towards the Arno. The two wings of the palace are connected by a corridor with six big arched windows, facing the Arno and the inner courtyard. Statues of famous citizens of Florence from the Middle Ages to the 19th Century fill several niches of the portico arcades which support the two floors of the building.
Nowadays the building hosts the Uffizi Gallery, one of the most visited museums in the world, collecting masterpieces from the 13th to the 18th Century.
In 1993 a bomb at the Accademia dei Georgofili (hosted in one of the bodies of the building) provoked major damages to some masterpieces of the Uffizi Gallery. Most of these works of art have been restored and are again accessible to the public.
The Gallery
The very beginning of the Uffizi Gallery was the collection of Francesco I de' Medici to which he dedicated the second floor of the building for his personal enjoyment. The collection became "public and inalienable good" thanks to Duchess Anna Maria Luisa de' Medici whose will it was that it would be open to the public forever.
Today, the Uffizi Gallery is one of the most important museums in the world, with new acquisitions and gifts coming from collectors, private donations, diplomatic exchanges, dynastic and church heritages, patronages, and arts and crafts corporations.

VIDEO: St. Francis' new facility encourages seniors to live independently
Delaware's elderly have a chance to maintain their independence through a new St. Francis facility in Wilmington.
WDEL's Amy Cherry reports.
Just steps away from the Russell Petersen Wildlife Refuge on Wilmington's Riverfront, St. Francis' Life center gives seniors an opportunity to age with dignity.
Delaware's Health and Social Services Secretary Rita Landgraf says this is what all seniors want.
"This is the opportunity to remain in their homes as long as possible, but not to feel isolated within their community," says Landgraf.
The all inclusive health care facility at the edge of the Shipyard Center boasts clinics, treatment rooms, exercise space, and a chapel. It can treat up to 200 seniors at one time.

As the sector burgeons, frequency controls are necessary to maintain effectiveness.
By 2009, rich media ad units will account for over half of all online display ads by spending, according to Jupiter Research. Steps must be taken to limit over-exposure.
A new concept report suggests improved frequency controls are needed to maintain the effectiveness of rich and streaming media units. In 2004, these represented 24 percent of all online display ad spending. Jupiter shows the percentage growing 5 to 7 percent per year between 2004 and 2009, by which time rich and streaming media are expected to account for 56 percent of all online display ads.
Various types of rich and streaming media units have been growing at a rapid clip over the past two years. Eyeblaster's format (which takes over a user's screen with a floating add and is considered "invasive" by many) increased the number of units it served between 2002 and 2004 by 73 percent. DoubleClick reportedly doubled the number of rich media units it served over that same period.
|Rich and Streaming Media as a Percentage of Display Ad Spending
|Percentage of Spending
|Source: 2004 Jupiter Research Internet Advertising Model, July 2004 (US only), Jupiter Research, a division of Jupitermedia Corp.
This degree of growth means users will see rich and streaming media units with greater frequency. This leads to concerns of reduced ad effectiveness, unless steps are taken to reduce that frequency.
Growth of rich media units over the past few years has partially been fuelled by improvements in rich media ad serving capabilities.
"It's gotten a lot easier for sites to implement out-of-banner rich media," the report's author, Analyst Nate Elliott, told ClickZ Stats. "Three, four, five years ago, a lot of sites were hard-coding rich media tags into their pages. So there was only one chance to run an Eyeblaster on that page that day, because they were physically putting the code onto the page and they weren't serving it through their ad server."
Elliott explains most major sites now serve out-of-banner rich media ads through their ad servers. This provides a lot of flexibility in terms of which ads run where on a site, how they're targeted, and also whether or not those ads are frequency-capped.
"As it has gotten easier to serve and rotate invasive rich media ads, the opportunity to serve those ads has increased. As a result, consumers are seeing more of these ads everyday and that's where a lot of this problem has come from," says Elliott.

Definitions for pantyhoseˈpæn tiˌhoʊz
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word pantyhose
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
pant•y•hoseˈpæn tiˌhoʊz(n.)
(used with a pl. v.) a one-piece, skintight garment for women, combining panties and stockings.
Category: Clothing
Origin of pantyhose:
Princeton's WordNet
a woman's tights consisting of underpants and stockings
Kernerman English Learner's Dictionary
pantyhose(noun)ˈpæn tiˌhoʊz
a very thin item of clothing worn on your legs under a skirt
I snagged my pantyhose on the chair.
Women's nylon tights worn about the legs.
Pantyhose are sheer, close-fitting legwear, covering the wearer's body from the waist to the feet. Mostly considered to be a woman's and girl's garment, pantyhose appeared in the 1960s, and they provided a convenient alternative to stockings. People of both sexes often find pantyhose to be comfortable for wearing during frigid weather or while horseback riding. Like stockings or knee highs, pantyhose are usually made of nylon, or of other fabrics blended with nylon. Pantyhose are designed to: ⁕be attractive in appearance ⁕ease the chafing between the foot and the footwear, or between the thighs ⁕keep the legs and feet warm ⁕hide physical imperfections such as blemishes, bruises, scars, hair, or varicose veins Besides being worn as fashion, in Western society pantyhose are sometimes worn by women when formal dress is required. For example, the dress code of some companies and schools require pantyhose or fashion tights to be worn when skirts or shorts are worn or as part of a uniform.

text: 5 Fat beasty riffs and quicksmart melodies. Slick!withydanno | 01/02/2008 | See all withydanno's reviews (124)Top 100 Reviewer Top 100 DVD Reviewer Top 100 Music Reviewer Crackingly upbeat, The Foals arrive just in time to help Battles take over the world.Refusing to ride off the back of (absurdly fun) Hummer alone, The Foals have dropped the single from this album, which I think is a brilliantly bold move. And that song is something special: usually when a song is featured on Match of The Day it is the universal signal that everyone is sick of it, but not Hummer.There's a real immediacy to this music; similar to what Bloc Party created on Silent Alarm, only The Foals carry much more weight. It's not often these days that you can hear a new band for the time and say with confidence, 'These will be a truly great band'.Actually, the way the music industry is today, you can seldom even say that a new band will even get to release a second album, let alone a good second album.If The Foals are given room to breathe and develop, they will almost certainly achieve great things. Boo yah!

The Chicago White Sox have captured the American League Central Division title with a thrilling 1-0 win over the Minnesota Twins in a sudden-death playoff game.
Jim Thome's solo home run in the seventh inning off Minnesota starter Nick Blackburn accounted for the game's only run, sending the White Sox into the AL Divisional Series against the Tampa Bay Rays starting on Thursday.
Bobby Jenks celebrates the win [GALLO/GETTY]
Brilliant play
John Danks pitched a brilliant two-hitter over eight innings for the win and closer Bobby Jenks pitched a scoreless ninth for the save in the 163rd game of the season for both teams.
Several White Sox players returned to the file after the game and sprayed fans with champagne as the White Sox now prepare to bid for their first World Series title since 2005.
"We bounce back every time we are against the wall," Chicago manager Ozzie Guillen said.
"It was a real battle right to the last out.
"We just got the last laugh."
Chicago dominance
The White Sox will join the crosstown Cubs in the playoffs, the first time since 1906 that the two Chicago teams have played in the post-season.
The White Sox also got a clutch defensive play from Ken Griffey Jr., who like Thome is 38 years old and still looking for his first World Series title.
Griffey, who came to the White Sox in a trade with the Reds this season so he could have a chance of taking part in the playoffs, threw out Michael Cuddyer at the plate in the fifth inning.
That was the only real scoring chance the Twins had as they could manage just a double by Cuddyer in the fifth "He did a heck of a job," Thome said of Griffey.
Fan support
"I'm so happy for him too.
"We're so happy our fans were able to take part in this with us.
"They've been great all season and now we have some playoff games coming as well," he said.
The teams completed the regular season with identical 88-74 records, resulting in the one-game showdown for the division title.
It was just the eighth one-game playoff ever in Major League Baseball.
