So the m50, being in the same price bracket, is the no-contest loser to the FA-011 at all points (except isolation, of course)? I've been considering a set of inexpensive open backed headphones for at home. I wonder if there is anywhere I can audition these because they're really beautiful headphones, and if they beat out my m50s and cost the same then I'm pretty much sold.

The SQ of the FA-011 reminds me of what I hear from my vintage Beyer DT-990's (1988) but with nonreccessed midrange and an even more pronounced highend. I really like the SQ of my FA-004 except for the bass region (have really never been able to have this area of frequency range fleshed out to my liking). Sounds like the FA-011 has cured this problem in the bass department, also a more extended highend frequency range would not bother me. It appears that the FA-011 will be stiff competition for the AT AD-700, even though it's a little more expensive for the gamers out there. "LFF" always does great reviews-keep up the good work, at least from my stand point you are greatly appreciated. Happy Listening.

I honestly feel the FA-011's are better sounding than the HD-650's. To me, one of the best qualities of the HD-650 was the low, deep bass it put out. However, despite the low, deep bass, the HD-650 always sounded veiled to me. The FA-011's have low, deep bass but do not sound veiled at all and are very affordable.I was planning to buy the hd650 but your review got me interested in these haha. if they're as good as you say then they're what i've been looking for. my wallet is gonna be happy lol. where can i buy these? i looked at the gd-audiobase site and they're not in stock.
post #35 of 20823/22/11 at 12:43pmSimilar to the FA-003 and better than the HD-650 in technical aspects? I was more interested in the technical and detail comparisons. Fischer have priced this model much lower than their 002 and 003, and so I wonder if 011 loses out technnically? If not, or they stand with equal footing, then maybe Fischer have ripped themselves off by pricing the 011 so low. hum

I have a quick question about the deep bass these cans possess. You compare it to the bass on the HD650, which has some solid bass, but then you wrap up the review saying that these are great cans for bassheads. The HD650 is hardly a can for bassheads, so this comparison seems quite contradictory to me. A more appropriate comparison would be with headphones such as the Sony XB500, Ultrasone Pro 900/HFI 580/780, or even the Denon D2000s.
As a basshead and someone who is very interested in the FA-011, could you elaborate a bit further on these cans' low end? If it extends deep and is tight and textured, that is awesome, but if it has similar quantity and impact as the HD650, it is hardly a headphone for bass lovers.
post #37 of 20823/22/11 at 2:01pmThanks for posting LFF. Yet another great review from you. 2 quick questions if you don't mind:
1) What is the tension like on the headband area? Somewhat tight like a new K701? Or more loose?
2) How are the materials as far as quality? Specifically interested in the "fork" that holds the wood part. Plastic I assume? How is the build quality compared to say the FA-003?
Thanks in advance, I'm sure more people would like this info than just me.

I think LFF kicked off another buying frenzy. At least, these aren't going to hit the wallet too hard! I must say Fischer seems to have a good line on the current needs/wants of the modern headphone buyer, with good hi-fi sound for the investment being a priority...
I wouldn't mind a set of fun cans for more modern music (rock/alternative, club, etc). Sometimes "neutral" phones just aren't the best match for the music genre/recording, or what I am generally in the mood for. Makes me think about my old car stereo systems...so much fun and sounded great.

I don't mind :) It's not that expensive and his opinion is one that many in here including me trust after his previous reviews. Of course I would need to get an amp first but I was planning on getting one anyway.

Ukulele masterclass: Four strings and a jolly good time
George Hinchliffe, head of the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, tells Tom Hodgkinson why the uke's fanbase is soaring again
Sunday 16 September 2012
When you tell people that you play the ukulele, they invariably say: "Oh, have you heard of the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain? They're marvellous!" Along with remarks about George Formby, it gets a little wearing. While smiling and saying "Yes, aren't they great?", inwardly I'll be smarting: Bloody Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. What about me! But of course I have nothing personal against the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. I am a fan of their humour and musicianship. In fact, I venerate them.
How could I not? They are the masters of the instrument. They have been playing together for nearly 30 years and have built up a huge, global following. Their nationwide tour includes, this week, a gig at the Royal Albert Hall.
So when the opportunity arose to meet musical director George Hinchliffe, and get a ukulele lesson from this outstanding figure, I grabbed it. And I secretly nursed a fantasy that at the end of the interview, having heard my uke skills, George would ask me to join his group, and I would be able to give up journalism and tour the world.
Sadly, this didn't happen, but I did meet an inspiring man, one of those rare characters who creates his own life and follows his own desires. And I got some great uke tips, too.
The orchestra was formed in 1985, soon after George bought co-founder and friend Kitty Lux a ukulele for her birthday. They played as a duo until other musician friends joined in, and soon they had a group. It was a success from the outset; their first gig at a London pub was packed. "We'd put an advert in City Limits. People came, people liked it, we did another gig. We got a Radio 1 session and then a BBC live TV thing, and [the poet musician] John Hegley invited us to play at his club night. We made an album, then we got a call from CBS."
The idea, says George, was not to form a comedy act, but to create a liberating musical forum where any music could be played, from funk to rock'*'roll to classical. And the ukulele was the right instrument to do that, chosen for its musical versatility more than its novelty value.
"The humour only came in during the first gig, when we played in two keys by accident and were messing around, with the sheet music falling everywhere. I thought we should go with it." They put on dinner jackets and played their gigs seated, in an affectionate parody of a classical orchestra. Highlights have included playing to 170,000 people in Hyde Park on the 50th anniversary of VE Day. The eight-strong band, whose line-up has barely changed over the years, have also played to huge crowds at Glastonbury, Womad and The Big Chill.
The Ukes, as they are known, play a huge variety of cover versions, from Isaac Hayes' "Shaft" and the Sex Pistols' "Anarchy in the UK" to the Bowie classic "Life on Mars" and Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights". What is lovely is that their versions somehow shine a new light on the original: you hear the lyrics more clearly and get a better understanding of the mechanics of the song. George is fascinated by what is called ethno-musicology – which incorporates the history of instruments, and their tuning. The ukulele is particularly interesting as it uses what is called "re-entrant tuning", with a high G top-string Ωa tuning that was used on early Renaissance versions of the guitar. This is why "Greensleeves" sounds surprisingly good on the uke.
It's a particularly joyful instrument; it puts a smile on the face, and this has been the case since it was invented in 1879. That was the year a small, four-stringed Portuguese guitar called the machete arrived in Honolulu harbour, courtesy of a boatload of immigrants from Madeira. The cheerful Hawaiians immediately took to the ukulele, as they named it, and within 10 years it had become Hawaii's national instrument, thanks in part to its enthusiastic promotion by Hawaii's King Kalakaua.
Since then, its fortunes have risen and fallen. It was hugely popular worldwide in the first 30 years or so of the 20th century, thanks to radio, then again in the Fifties thanks to TV, and now we are riding the third wave of its success, which has been in part aided by the internet. At all times, people have been attracted by its portability and by its ease of playing: anyone can pick it up and be strumming a couple of chords in minutes.
The Ukes have been at the forefront of this third wave, and have had a wonderful time touring the world, making albums and pursuing side projects. "Some Ibiza DJs have done a remix of our stuff in various mixes," says George, with some amusement. "It's quite nice, actually."
His group has spawned dozens of imitators. Among them is the Ukulele Orchestra of Brno, based in the Czech Republic's second city. On a book tour out there recently, I joined them on stage and played "Anarchy in the UK". George has a Google alert for the phrase "ukulele orchestra" and says that, somewhere in the world, a new one is formed almost every day.
It is time to get some tips. I play George a stumbling version of George Harrison's "Something", which he listens to politely. "On that one, I'd suggest playing it in strict rhythm, really slow, maybe with a metronome. Rather than playing the bits that are easy for you fast, and then slowing down for others, play the whole thing at that slow speed, then gradually speed up," is his advice.
What about strumming? In the uke world, I feel constantly oppressed by players who can pull off complicated strumming patterns which make it sound as if there are five ukuleles playing. George Formby is a particular master at complex strumming.
"I try to keep my strumming really simple," says George. "When you're singing, you want to play something very simple because the attention should be on the melody. In the orchestra, everybody does something very simple, but stays on it."
I point out that it's different for an orchestra, but I am going it alone. "Yes," he says, "but a lot of people play ukes in groups now. Somebody could play the chords in an offbeat, someone else could play them on the beat, and someone else could play the tune."
And of course this is one of the great attractions of the ukulele: its communal nature. More than any other instrument I can think of, it suits playing in a group, and this makes it enormous fun.
George says that instead of poring over YouTube clips for hours, as I do, and trying and failing to achieve strumming mastery, he would instead concentrate on "accents", in other words, making the occasional note a bit louder. I play him my version of "Watching the Wheels" by John Lennon, and again his advice is: simplify. He demonstrates that you can achieve great effects by cutting out notes, and even by playing fewer strings, just one or two at a time.
"When people say, how can I improve as a solo player? I say, learn three songs. Learn them all the way through. And then make them interesting. Make them different. I'd also say: try different keys and different tempos.
"Then try and find a way of making them as groovy as you can ...."

ROME Dec 7 (Reuters) - The secretary of Silvio Berlusconi's People of Freedom party said on Friday that it was time that Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti's term in office came to an end but that his party would not trigger a disorderly crisis.
People of Freedom (PDL) secretary Angelino Alfano told parliament that the party's withdrawal of support from Monti in two confidence votes on Thursday had shown its disapproval without creating damaging turmoil by bringing down the government.
"Yesterday we did not give a vote of no confidence because we want an orderly end to this legislature," Angelino Alfano told parliament.
"Yesterday we did not give a vote of no confidence because we consider the experience of the Monti government has come to an end but we don't want to send the institutions and the country into chaos," he said.

A new family of highly soluble electrophosphorescent dopants based on a series of tris-cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes (1–4) of 2-(carbazol-3-yl)-4/5-R-pyridine ligands with varying molecular dipole strengths have been synthesized. Highly efficient, solution-processed, single-layer, electrophosphorescent diodes utilizing these complexes have been prepared and characterized. The high triplet energy poly(9-vinylcarbazole) PVK is used as a host polymer doped with 2-(4-biphenylyl)-5-(4-tert-butyl-phenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (PBD) for electron transport. Devices with a current efficiency of 40 cd A−1 corresponding to an EQE of 12% can thus be achieved. The effect of the type and position of the substituent (electron-withdrawing group (CF3) and electron-donating group (OMe)) on the molecular dipole moment of the complexes has been investigated. A correlation between the absorption strength of the singlet metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (1MLCT) transition and the luminance spectral red shift as a function of solvent polarity is observed. The strength of the transition dipole moments for complexes 1–4 has also been obtained from TD-DFT computations, and is found to be consistent with the observed molecular dipole moments of these complexes. The relatively long lifetime of the excitons of the phosphorescence (microseconds) compared to the charge-carrier scattering time (less than nanoseconds), allows the transition dipole moment to be considered as a "quasi permanent dipole". Therefore, the carrier mobility is sufficiently affected by the long-lived transition dipole moments of the phosphorescent molecules, which are randomly oriented in the medium. The dopant dipoles cause positional and energetic disorder because of the locally modified polarization energy. Furthermore, the electron-withdrawing group CF3 induces strong carrier dispersion that enhances the electron mobility. Therefore, the strong transition dipole moment in complexes 3 and 4 perturbs both electron and hole mobilities, yielding a reduction in exciton formation and an increase in the device dark current, thereby decreasing the device efficiency.

El Siboney never disappoints. We've been coming here for a number of years and the food is always excellent. This trip we had roast pork and grilled grouper, both served with delicious yellow rice, black beans and fried plantains. The sangria is a refreshing way to top it all off!
We're happy to hear we've never let you down! Good choices on those dishes -- those are some great go-to's. Hope to earn that fifth star next time! Cheers, El Siboney Restaurant Team More
I had the roast pork with yellow rice & black beans. It was SO good! I also had a slice of Key Lime pie & it was my favorite on the island. I tried 4 others & this was the best. Nice & tart with meringue that was light and fluffy. Loved it!
We're happy to hear you finished off your meal with a slice of key lime pie -- that's one of our faves! Also, it's awesome to hear it impressed you as much as the rest of your meal. See you next time, El Siboney Restaurant Team More
The decor is Cuban or to be more precise Old Key West. But with a fresh coat of paint and a lot of elbow grease. The staff is latin and happy to serve. I ordered Snapper, it was cooked with onions & garlic. It came with yellow rice, black beans, hard rolls. I had sangria, water, black coffee and flan.... More
We're glad you had the chance to stop in! From the pricing to the quality of food, it sounds like we made a great impression. Hope to see you again next time you're in Key West! Take care, El Siboney Restaurant Team More
Reviewed this restaurant on tripadvisor and decided to visit while in Key West. The food, services and prices were true to description by other members. Great authentic cuban restaurant. My wife had the Cuban mix and I ordered the palomilla steak with yellow rice and beans with plantains. It was all good and so much food for two people. Since... More
We're glad you found our place to be worth the trek, Dave! We love our neighborhood, and we find a visit to our place showcases another side of the lovely Key West. We see you're from Maryland, but we hope to see you next time you visit the island! Cheers, El Siboney Restaurant Team More
Rarely, if ever, when I travel, do I eat in the same restaurant twice if only there for a week, but this was an exception. I live in New York so I have all kinds of authentic international food available to me and am hard to impress, but although overflowing with happy diners, many obviously local, the service was quick... More
It means so much that you spent two of your meals in our restaurant! Thanks for dropping by our page to share you kind words. See you again next time, El Siboney Restaurant Team More
This was my absolute favorite place to eat in Key West. I had the Garlic Shrimp with plantains, black beans, and yellow rice. All of it was phenomenal. The Service was good, and the seafood was very fresh. Will definitely be my first stop when returning to Key West.
Favorite in all of Key West? We'll take it. It sounds like our service was as impressive as that garlic shrimp, and we're pretty proud! Can't wait to see you again next time you're in Key West. Cheers, El Siboney Restaurant Team More
Yes, today's employees may be Nicaraguan or from elsewhere in Latin America, but the food and coffee are old Cuban Key West -- solid, savory, spicy. It's not fancy or expensive, but you'll be ready for an afternoon of work (ha!) in the hot sun afterward, and the beer selection is Latin.
Thanks for the kind words, Judith! We love being apart of historical Key West, and we're glad you noticed. Hope to see you again next time you're on the island! Cheers, El Siboney Restaurant Team More
If you like cuban food, you must try this restaurant. Seemed to be a favorite of the locals....a little off the tourist trek but worth seeking out. We had cuban sandwiches, conch chowder, black beans and rice along with cuban beers. Everything was delicious. All the foodat the ssurrounding tables looked wonderful and left us wishing we had tried more... More
Thanks for dropping by our page to share this, Ms, Violet! It sounds like you had a great taste of our menu, and we're glad you stopped in. Hope to see you again next time you're in Key West! Cheers, El Siboney Restaurant Team More
El Siboney has been serving the same GREAT food for years. Their snapper and grouper are fresh and as good as any seafood restaurant in Key West. The Cuban specialties are consistent and delightful. The conch chowder is very good. The sides of yellow rice and black beans and plantains are as good as the entrees. Hot buttered bread is... More
First and foremost, thanks for being such a loyal guest. It sounds like you're pretty familiar with our restaurant, and we're proud to have made years of memories with you. Cheers, El Siboney Restaurant Team More

Today was mainly a setup day with limited practice on the tortuous paved section. It was laid out in the parking lot outside the stadium at The Home Depot Center in Carson, south of downtown Los Angeles.
SRT USA had no guest driver this year, so it was up to its three team drivers -- Ken Block, Dave Mirra, and Pastrana -- to go for the gold.
Ever since the inaugural event in 2006, when X Games Rally was structured like a traditional rally with initial stages out in the desert, the event has turned into a rallycross-type competition. For those who don't know about rallycross, it was "invented" in 1967 when the RAC Rally in Britain was cancelled due to foot-and-mouth disease, and the organizers wanted to stage a special "rally" event for TV in its place. Rallycross has continued ever since, and, although it doesn't draw interest like WRC events, it is still a viable sport in northern Europe with many factory-supported teams competing.
For X Games 15 Rally, a Swedish team ventured across the Atlantic to compete with a trio of Ford Fiestas. These cars were built specifically for rallycross, making them lighter and more powerful than a traditional rally car. They only have to traverse a few miles in an event on a partially paved/partially dirt racetrack similar to a rally stage.
The Fiestas had participated in the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb a few weeks before X Games. While the cars normally make about 600 horsepower, they were allowed to run without air restrictors at Pikes Peak, where they were reputed to have produced 850 horsepower. For X Games 15, they were required to have a smaller restrictor that lowered their horsepower to about 450 bhp. Plus they added ballast to make their weight comparable to the rally-specification Subaru and other rally cars.

In the middle of the block, Katrina Parris Flowers (www.katrinaparrisflowers.com), a high-end floral design shop, provides a quiet sanctuary amid the clamor. Inside the 1,200-square-foot loft space, the scents of red and white hocus pocus roses, purple lilacs imported from California, and novelty gladiolas enchant visitors.In 2002, Katrina Parris-Pinn and her husband, Mark, began operating a floral business out of their small, one-bedroom Manhattan apartment. When they realized the business was outgrowing their apartment, they started looking for a retail space. They got help from a team of consultants working pro bono for the William J. Clinton Foundation's Small Business Initiative, which at the time was a pilot program. The team, which included employees from Booz Allen Hamilton, a global strategy and technology consulting firm, and students at New York University's Stern School of Business, worked with the couple for a year, helping them find a space, develop operational policies, and conduct interviews and surveys. In 2003, Katrina and Mark moved to their current location in the heart of Harlem.
The consultant team also helped the couple realize what they had already suspected: The money-making aspect of their business wasn't the retail end; it was Katrina's creative floral designs.
Katrina and Mark operate the business under the assumption that there is no substitute for a personal, creative touch. "We are very hands-on, very personable. Our notes are handwritten," says Katrina, who adds that each floral arrangement is unique. Jenny Sparks, vice president of marketing at the Society of American Florists agrees. "There will always be a need for florists because you are buying a high level of service. Consumers want the freshness, the guarantee, the presentation."
Although the couple's original intent was to borrow $150,000 from the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone, having to navigate the red tape turned out to be a blessing in disguise. They learned to operate their business more frugally and borrowed only $30,000. And with $50,000 in personal savings and a $12,000 line of credit from HSBC bank, the couple became entrepreneurs. Company revenues have tripled since the first year from $50,000 to more than $250,000 in 2005.
Thinking of opening a shop? Follow these tips:
Have realistic expectations. Try working in a flower shop to get a feel for it. "People think the flower business is an easy, pretty, fun thing. It isn't. You're cutting yourself, getting your hands dirty, you're on your feet a lot," says Katrina.
Do your research. Karl M. Kellner, partner at Booz Allen Hamilton, also suggests interviewing competitors. Booz Allen research helped Katrina and Hark find out their competitors had problems with high turnover because of low pay in the business.
Get to know wholesalers and distributors. You need to have a good relationship with the companies you're getting your product from. Industry groups such as Wholesale Florist & Florist Supplier Association (www.wffsa.org) and Master Florists Association (www.masterfloristsassn.org) may have resources florists and aspiring florists can tap.
Try creative marketing. "A lot of marketing is word of mouth in the flower business," says Jenny Sparks, vice president of marketing at the Society of American Florists. "In an area with a lot of drive-by traffic, your shop window is a great marketing tool."

Ipswich: Supporters of gay-friendly pub stage sit-in as landlord faces court action

Punch Taverns are a bunch of mercenary asset strippers, Most pubs they sell off are ones they bought cheap, and they sell them on with a "No Pub Use!" clause, resulting in many old "Community" pubs being closed and then turned into houses, shops, or demolished.
Good luck to these people! -
Sounds like good old fashioned homophobia to me.
If the pub is doing as well as the licensee says, then it would be silly for them to get rid of him; regardless of a business plan from someone else. If his lease was due for renewal then that could be a different matter.
Let's hope that the judge at the hearing favours the licensee.
Sounds like some old fart showed up with a clipboard and felt queasy at the sight of such a diverse clientele and returned to HQ to shake their head and have a moan to a similarly minded boss. These breweries have a fairly bland idea of what pubs should be offering.
I doubt there is any way that the owner has legal recourse though…..it probably is true that technically these contracts can be revoked with little notice, and I doubt any clear proof could be found of homophobia. Small print is a bit of a bugger. Shame.
"Punch Taverns" is a "PubCo", a pub company, and what these PubCos have been doing all over the country is as follows:
1. Charge the tenant rents that are too high.
2. Require (by contact) that the tenant buys all his alcohol from the PubCo (which of course only sells it at a high price).
Thus, PubCos are ONLY about screwing money out of pubs. They are NOT about community. If a PubCo finds that it is not screwing enough money out of a particular pub it literally increases the rent and the price of the beer and the tenant has no choice but to bow out. The PubCo then usually tells the local council the pub is loss-maker and requests permission to sell it for conversion into a period home (from which the PubCo exits the scene with a pile of money)!
Punch Taverns does not give a SH*T about pubs as hubs of communities, gay or straight. It's only interested in how it can increase PROFITS.
The government needs to legislate against PubCo behaviour.
Sorry, No. 2 refers to the "contract" (not "contact") that the PubCos require tenants to sign.
Another thing these contracts involve is agreement by the tenant that any changes to the rent of the pub will ONLY be "upward", NEVER downward, regardless of how general economic conditions may change!
Would this "business plan by another operator" be from Tesco by any chance??
If enough people come forward to ask the local Council for it to be listed as a Community pub, this may deter Punch Taverns from further action. If one looks on CAMRA website may give information.
Yes. There are some fine examples around the country of local communities haveing rallied together and having successfully stopped a PubCo from closing down a pub, by purchasing it for the local community, with members of the local community contributing towards the purchase of shares and those shares being marked as only permitted to be passed on to other members of the local community.
Are there enough gay and lesbian people in Ipswich willing to contribute to the purchase of The Grinning Rat and to participate in running the pub thereafter? If not, then it could be said that they don't have a strong wish or will to have this pub continue. And the greedy money-hungry PubCo will then win. As they usually do.

Very beautiful. It has a touch of realism that is stunning, but fantastical enough to still be anime-esque. Nice balance.
The.... WHAT?!? THIS IS SO AMAZING I CAN'T EVEN!! Wonderful job, but, the white stripes on his head are a little too light, making it hard to see them. I had to search for them to find them, but other than that, this is amazingly done and I love Death the Kid X3
I was browsing your gallery after looking at the Loki pic you drew, and this... Oh my gosh! You have a new watcher now~! ^_^
Wonderful work!!
Wonderful work!!
Kid looks incredible I like how you drew his skull pin, and how the white stripes are subtler against his hair. The ghostly energy next to his hand (and behind him) is a nice touch, too.

Can you use the DDE card at breakfasts? I just got my card in the mail and it doesn't list Donald's Breakfastasaurus so I'm sure I can't use it there, but it does list Cape May Cafe. Is it only good at dinner there or can I use it for breakfast also?
you can use it breakfast, lunch, and dinner. we used it for breakfast at both cape may and play and dine (didn't try breakfastasaurus). the only place we went to that didn't take it was the big river grille at the boardwalk.
You have to be either a FL Resident or an AP Holder. Info here: http://www.allearsnet.com/din/dde.htm
Thanks. I'm glad to know I can use it for breakfast. I see I had misread the list of participating restaurants. I just now see that it can be used at Donald's. When I previously read the list, I obviously did not read it very carefully. It turns out that I read Animal Kingdom Lodge as Animal Kingdom. Since we only eat breakfast at AK and have never been to AKL, I didn't notice my mistake until now. It will come in handy because we are going to be over our quota of TS credits using the DDP for the first time ever. Thanks again.

Film studies: In Hollywood, everyone likes hearing you scream
I won't vouch for all the movies: Rear Window and Peeping Tom are masterpieces, but John Huston was the last person to feel sympathy for neurotic behaviour (as witness his cruelty towards Montgomery Clift, the actor he cast as Sigmund Freud). Still, I'm drawn to the plan because it's such a fruitful way of approaching the outrage and wonder of film.
The circumstances of cinema had an unnatural air from the beginning. In the dark, the audience (that pack of strangers) was subjected to a version of the life-like that in many ways was bereft of life. The "actors" were not there. The show was mechanical - the audience can intervene in theatre, but even if they rip down the movie screen, the blithe image keeps playing on their struggling backs. The image could separate bodies from heads; it could leap across time and space quicker than a blink or the rapid eye movement of sleep (that sign of dreaming); it could show us lopped-off heads and naked women, such as few people had enough chance to study in ordinary life.
There was something mad, or maddening, in the show. When the Lumiere brothers' train chugged towards the camera, some Parisian sophisticates ran from the salon in panic. How comic! Yet horror films still make us jump or scream, as if a spasm has escaped the flat picture and attacked us. From early on, some teachers condemned the movies; they believed the cult might detach us from reality, and breed desperate fantasists. Just because we've survived a hundred years doesn't mean they were wrong - or that we are safe. We have become a hushed mob of voyeurs, watching taboos and perils, as if we did not exist. To be a movie audience is to prepare us for real states in which we seem to have no function or substance - just the cover of darkness.
How does such danger fit with film's astonishing beauty? I don't only mean the light of photography and the shiver of movement (and if you begin to forget the thrill of forward movement, just run the film backwards to rediscover the phenomenon of motion). I refer to the secret of the medium (which is a key for analysts), that the real things seen are also metaphors. Is that just an ear Kyle McLachlan finds in Blue Velvet, or the discovery of the body? When King Kong blows on Fay Wray after her bath, is he drying her, wooing her, or raping her? And when the camera tracks in and zooms out in Vertigo, is that an evocation of nausea, or the suck of inner meaning? When hands reach out in a Bresson film, are they plain hands - or the wings of the soul? In Bunuel' s great works, how do we distinguish humdrum dream from startling ordinariness?
There's another approach to the subject - less rhapsodic, more mundane. It happened that several European analysts went to Los Angeles in the late 1930s and early 1940s, chased there by Hitler. It is a large generalisation, but into the late 1930s, American films tended to be unaware of the metaphor within every image. Business-like film-makers supposed they were telling stories, rather than exploring fantasies. Maybe only that innocence let the movies be so revealing - though censorship's pressure helped, too.
Then analysis hit town. Rich, neurotic and even self-dramatising people had long sustained the profession, and in Hollywood there were throngs obsessed with motivation and image - writers, actors and directors (plus their spouses, lawyers and hairdressers). Many film people plunged into therapy, and took to the couch (most Hollywood offices had one already). None more eagerly than David O Selznick. He had a special need: he wanted to believe he could love both his wife and his discovery, Jennifer Jones, without giving anything up. He recruited a smart but movie-mad woman, Russian and Jewish, Dr May Romm, and had her treat nearly everyone he met.
That was unprofessional, but then he asked the doctor to read scripts. For Selznick was so enthused by analysis - which struck him as another kind of story-conferencing - that he wanted to make a movie about doctors, dreams and sweet healing. Spellbound was the result, and May Romm had a credit on it as adviser. She was rebuked by her professional colleagues, but she was star-struck. The film has spectacular set-pieces, a dream sequence by Salvador Dali, and Ingrid Bergman as a saintly doctor, but it is hokum, and part of the stupid cliche about analysis in which movies have conspired. No matter, Dr Romm flourished. For, as she told her daughter (who became an analyst, too) there was a secure career in the movie world doing psycho-analysis - so long as you never threatened the disturbed minds and world-famous children of Beverly Hills with cure or maturity.
