The Life of the Mystic Terton SogyalNineteenth-century Tibetan mystic Tertön Sogyal was a visionary, whose mastery of meditation led him to be a revered teacher to the Thirteenth Dalai Lama. Known for his deep spiritual insights and service to the nation of Tibet, Tertön Sogyal's ability to harness the power of the mind was born of both his profound understanding of the Buddha's teachings and the unique experiences he had while
One Man's Journey of Discovery in TibetSpiritual biography meets edge-of-your-seat undercover reporting: how an American Buddhist smuggled out hard evidence of abuse and torture in Tibet. For nearly a decade, Matteo Pistono smuggled out of Tibet evidence of atrocities by the Chinese government, showing it to the U.S. government, human rights organizations, and anyone who would listen. Yet Pistono did not originally intend to fight
The Essential Teachings of Zen Master HakuinA fiery and intensely dynamic Zen teacher and artist, Hakuin (1685–1768) is credited with almost single-handedly revitalizing Japanese Zen after three hundred years of decline. As a teacher, he placed special emphasis on koan practice, inventing many new koans himself, including the famous "What is the sound of one hand clapping?" As an artist, Hakuin used calligraphy and painting to create

The second half of the
The Practice of Guru Yoga according to the Longchen Nyingthig TraditionIn the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, devotion to one's guru or spiritual master is considered to be of the utmost importance in spiritual practice.

Clarifying the Meaning of Chod (Expanded Edition)Fear, anger, and negativity are states that each of us have to contend with. Machik's Complete Explanation, the most famous book of the teachings of Machik Lapdrön, the great female saint and yogini of eleventh- to twelfth-century Tibet, addresses these issues in a practical, direct way. Machik developed a system, the Mahamudra Chöd, that takes the Buddha's teachings as a basis and applies them
The Omniscient Dharma King of the Vast ExpanseRenowned as a peerless teacher, practitioner, and scholar, Longchenpa thoroughly studied and mastered every one of the many Buddhist vehicles and lineages of teachings existing in Tibet at his time.

MTV's Scream and CBS's Zoo premiere tonight. One is worth your time. Which one?
But the film "American Gigolo" is a stylish and surprisingly poignant handling of this material. The experiences in the film may be alien to us, but the emotions of the characters are not: Julian Kay, the gigolo of the title, is played by Richard Gere as tender, vulnerable, and a little dumb. We care about him. His business -- making love to rich women of a certain age -- allows him to buy the baubles by which Beverly Hills measures success, and he has his Mercedes, his expensive wardrobe, his antique vases, his entr\gee to country clubs.
But he says he's in business for reasons other than money, and we believe him, if only because he hardly seems to value his possessions as anything other than props. He feels a sense of satisfaction when he makes a middle-aged woman happy, he says. He seems to see himself as a cross between a sexual surrogate and a therapist, and the movie does, too: Why, he's hardly a whore at all, not even counting his heart of gold.
The movie sentimentalizes on this point, setting up the character of Julian Kay as so sympathetic that we forgive him his profession. That's a tactic that "American Gigolo"'s writer and director, Paul Schrader, is borrowing from one of his own heroes, the French director Robert Bresson, whose "Pickpocket" makes a criminal into an antihero. Schrader is setting the stage for the key relationship in the film, between Julian and the senator's wife (Lauren Hutton).
He tries to pick her up in an exclusive restaurant, but breaks off their conversation when he decides she's not a likely client. But she is all too likely, and tracks him down to his apartment. They fall in love, at about the time he's being framed for the murder of a Palm Springs socialite, and the movie wants us to believe in the power of love to redeem both characters: Julian learns to love unselfishly, without money, and the woman learns to love honestly, without regard for her husband's position.
This business of redemption would work better if "American Gigolo" had at least a few more scenes developing the relationship between Gere and Hutton: Her character, so central to the movie's upbeat conclusion, isn't seen clearly enough. We aren't shown the steps by which she moves from sex to love with him (unless she's simply been won over by the old earth-shaking orgasm ploy). We aren't given enough detail about their feelings.
That's a weakness, but not a fatal one, because when Schrader cuts away from their relationship, it's to develop a very involving story about the murder, the framing, and the police investigation. The movie has an especially effective performance by Hector Elizondo as a cigar-chomping vice detective who cheerfully admits he thinks Gere is guilty as sin.
Gere tries to find out who's framing him by descending into the Los Angeles sexual underground. Schrader explored this same universe in his previous film, "Hardcore," but this time he seems more restrained: The sexual netherlands seem less lurid, more commonplace and sad.
The whole movie has a winning sadness about it; take away the story's sensational aspects and what you have is a study in loneliness. Richard Gere's performance is central to that effect, and some of his scenes -- reading the morning paper, rearranging some paintings, selecting a wardrobe -- underline the emptiness of his life. We leave "American Gigolo" with the curious feeling that if women weren't paying this man to sleep with them, he'd be paying them: He needs the human connection and he has a certain shyness, a loner quality, that makes it easier for him when love seems to be just another deal.

John Williams, successful inventor, entrepreneur and CEO of Roundspring Technologies, Inc. has completed work on a new roadway safety device that his company believes will save the lives of hundreds of state, county, city and private road construction and maintenance workers. ROSA (Remote Operated Safety Attendant) allows roadway workers to control traffic from the safe zone, out of imminent danger and hazardous weather conditions.
"Of all the inventions we've created and patented, I am most proud of ROSA as she will save human lives," said Williams. "ROSA doesn't cost anyone their job, but the tool absolutely will keep people out of harm's way. Sending highway workers home to their families at the end of the day is this product's biggest benefit."
ROSA is available now and the company has already entered into discussions with procurement officials in a number of western states. Williams said he expects motorists to begin seeing ROSA at work on our nation's roadways in the first quarter of 2013.

DevOps is about increasing efficiency, but nothing is more inefficient than building the same application twice. However, this is a routine occurrence with enterprise applications that need both a rich desktop web interface and strong mobile support. With recent technological advances from Isomorphic Software and others, it is now feasible to create a rich desktop and tuned mobile experience with a single codebase, without compromising performance or usability.

Introducing for sale is an elegant Neoclassical style late 19th century cast iron floor lamp with polychrome patination. The lamp is raised on a tripartite base draped in laurel leaves with a fluted standard terminating in a font draped in garlands. It is is extremely heavy with detailed casting and contrasting polychrome enamels against an ebony ground.
The lamp is in excellent condition having been rewired by our lighting expert and fitted with a designer shade. The upright standard is a little off center at the point of connection to the font, possibly because it was once actually used as an oil lamp. This does not detract from the overall appearance of the lamp but is just mentioned for accuracy.
Size: 75" Height.

Not a Technical Issue
You see a need for hole to be filled in a particular software offering or API. It's just so obvious. It wouldn't be that hard to do. You ask, "Why don't they just < fill your favorite pet peeve here>". Often the barrier to accomplishing your goal is not a technical issue.
I've covered Java on the Mac for a variety of publications over the last seven years or so. It's a lot happier beat these days - but there are still gaps. Every time the Apple Java team opens the floor up to questions they get asked "where is Java3D" and "where is JAI". This is such a regular occurrence that they now pre-empt the questions by saying, "before we take questions, here's the deal with Java3D and JAI". The QuickTime team provided a nice set of Java APIs. At presentations their team always gets asked about porting the technology to other platforms.
"The issues involved in making this happen are not technical," are the answers to all of the above. It probably is also the answer to why your favorite enhancement hasn't happened yet. Resources, copyright, marketing, legal, no local champion, politics,...
On a recent project a team I was working with presented two demos to a client. The first demo was an implementation of the spec that the client had signed off on. The second demo was an implementation that addressed some of the short comings of the first approach. The client representatives in the room liked it and took it back to their group for approval. The answer that came back was, "it's great but we don't have time to implement it." We scratched out heads. There was nothing left to implement. It had been delivered feature complete. The issues clearly weren't technical.
It struck me as I looked over today's Java Today
page that this theme pervades the offerings on the site today.
In today's featured Weblogs Chris Adamson looks at recent announcements and tries to read the tea leaves about The End (of Java3D) and the Beginning (of JOGL). Sun's Chris Campbell takes his Sun hat off half-way to respond in Co-existence of Java2D, Java3D, JOGL, and Mac-n-Cheese Although he never really gets to the Mac-n-Cheese part, Campbell tries to draw the lines between JOGL and the existing Java media APIs. Finally, Alan WIlliamson presents his take on a huge "not a technical issue" in who pays for open-source?"
the newly created
In the Also Today section, we link to today's live chat on New Java Programming Language Features in J2SE 1.5 with Joshua Bloch and Neal Gafter. Dick Gabriel summarizes a talk on intellectual property rights given at Sun by Stanford lawyer Larry Lessig in Gabriel's blog The Three Bears - Lessig on Property RIghts.

66 Things to Do in Salem, MA (Updated June 2014)2
Because I like lists, and sympathise with the tourist dilemma of "Bollocks! We only have 5 hours to spend here – what do we do first??", I've decided to compile a big fat list of awesome things to do in Salem. Yes, this list could have been shorter, but the number 66 is cool, so shut your face (and click "Continue reading" to read more!):
31 Days of Hallowe'en, Day 31: Le Manoir du diable (1896)0
Yeah, you read that date right. Widely-cited as the world's first horror movie, this dinky little three-minute short was actually intended more as a light-hearted bit of fun, rather than a proper chiller. Director and producer Georges Méliès filmed the movie on his own property, and it looks pretty cavernous.
First, we see a giant bat (honestly, it's fucking huge, like the size of a small horse), who transforms into some demon, who then start a messing with two young soldiers.There's some cat-and-mouse chase going on, but the action is confined to one corridor. There's transformations aplenty, using a tsart-stop technique in which one actor stands still and the other runs off-camera and waits for the horse bat to show up.
I saw this on YouTube, and even though the picture quality is extremely blurry, I'm amazed it's lasted this long. It's a cute way to spend three minutes, just so you can say you watched the first ever horror movie.
Happy Hallowe'en!!
31 Days of Hallowe'en, Day 30: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)0
Much like Coraline, I can't believe I never got around to seeing this. It's Tim Burton, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman and Timothy Spall (aren't they always so good together?). Colleen Atwood bringing her usual magic to the costumes. And it's based on a Stephen Sondheim musical (hence why I wanted the damn soundtrack immediately – and I'm usually of of "meh" about musicals).
Depp plays Todd, a former barber seeking to fall back into his former trade as a cover for murderous revenge against those responsible for locking him up in prison. Rickman plays the judge who abused his power to imprison Todd, having done so out if jealousy of unrequited love for Todd's wife. Worse still, he's only gone and adopted Todd's only child, a daughter who Todd never knew before. Now, 15 years later, she's all (relatively) grown up.
Todd rents a room from pie-peddler Mrs. Lovett (Bonham-Carter) who, by her own admission, serves up the ghastliest meat pastries in the world. Given Todd's newfound, Taxi Driver-esque hatred of society and murderous intentions, and Mrs Lovett's piss-poor pasties, the two cook up the clearly obvious solution to use Todd's necky-slashy cadavers to make meat pies because something about it being a man-eat-man world. And…waste not, want not, Sort of like Jamie Oliver's recipes where he tells you to use the bones from your leftover chicken drumsticks.
All goes cannibal-tastic until Todd's bloodlust starts getting out of hand, and the makeshift couple's new ward (Edward Sanders) begins to have an icky feeling about all this.
I've never seen the musical, so I can't compare. This is probably not true for most viewers but I always find the first few songs in a movie musical to be a bit jarring, because they feel like pointless interludes from the real plot. I know it's a musical, but it's different to live musical theatre. But I loved the songs.
Though the tricky thing about movie musical adaptations is that you need someone who can both sing and act, as well as carry off the character's accent. Depp can sing better than I thought, and he can certainly act, and his London accent is leaps and bounds ahead of those dreadful Cockney mouthfarts he did in From Hell.
Bonham-Carter is the same, but her singing attempts are marred by the nasal way she alters her speech patterns for her accent, and it makes the high notes a thing of terror. Sacha Baron Cohen is a way better singer than I thought he was, but the star of the show is Sanders.
His accent makes him sound like a typical wee little imp from Oliver!, and his singing is just spectacular. The song he shares with Mrs Lovett is oddly abs refreshingly poignant. Just…damn.
Because it's Burton, is safe to say the visuals are suitably eye-popping. Sets are grimy and bare and cavernous and dripping with doom. Also: blood, which literally spurts everywhere like somebody made Campari, cherry, strawberry and blood smoothies but didn't put the lid on the blender all the way. You've got to push it firmly until you hear the little click.
The aforementioned costumes are instantly-cosplayable works of art. Every other scene feels like it needs to be screencapped, they're that well- blocked. It all adds up to a ghoulish concoction of a film that is fun to watch, but never once celebrates or glamorises the literal bloodbaths on display. Now excuse me while I go sing "Pretty women" to nobody.
31 Days of Hallowe'en, Day 29: Coraline (2009)0
A little ashamed to admit I never got around to seeing this one. Even though it's by Creator of My Awesome Childhood Nightmares director Henry Selick, and based on a book by Brilliant Nightmares scribe Neil Gaiman, I'd assumed that this was a film aimed at kids.
Wrong! Coraline is a whimsical, dark fantasy tale about a lonely young girl (Dakota Fanning) who discovers a portal to another dimension in her new home. The "Other" World is bright, colourful, cheerful and has counterparts of people she knows in real life, and they're all much happier and successful. She even has an Other Mother (Teri Hatcher) and an Other Father (John Hodgman), both of whom are confident, warm people, and lavish her with the attention and family activities and scrumptious dinners that her harried parents don't have time for.
She quickly gets over the fact that they have black buttons for eyes.
Feeling ignored by her mum and dad and alienated in her new surroundings, she starts to spend more and more time in the Other World, ignoring the rather sensible warnings of a series of jumping mice belonging to her new blue-coloured Russian neighbour Mr. Bobinsky (Ian McShane).
As soon as Coraline enters the Other World, I very much got an Alice in Wonderland vibe, only more macabre and at times very psychedelic. While the main point is that the Other World is the complete opposite in every way to Coraline's real world (it's more fun and more Coraline-centric, and even her chatty neighbour is "silenced"), it's also wildly-designed, such a deliberately OTT contrast from the dreary grayscale clutter and barren walls of her real home. This makes for some utterly stunning character designs and sequences, such a ride through a live, flowering garden on a horse-like mantis that turns into a helicopter, or a fat lady/thin lady cabaret that literally swings Coraline to new heights. After such eye-popping, reality-bending spectacles (and: breakfast food for dinner), it's not hard to see why Coraline would want to stay.
And that's where the creep factor comes in. Teri Hatcher plays both Coraline's real mum, and the button-eyed Other Mother. The latter is a Hansel and Gretel-type demon who preys on lonely children and lures them into what she thinks their perfect family life would look like, only to literally eat their souls to keep from looking like a disjointed, overly-tall metallic spider lady. Her characterisation is terrifying – the ease with which she can be so manipulative, so passive-aggressive, so insidiously-abusive – gave me a bit of a fright.
There's so much dread built up that the chilling atmosphere is a wee bit wafted off when the plot settles into a quest-based third act that feels plucked from a Choose Your Own Adventure book. Which might have been OK if the film didn't keep trying to put cling film over its own plot holes.
From a technical standpoint, the stop-motion is so seamlessly well-executed that I forgot I wasn't watching a live-action film. Every character's movement, even swishes of hair, is so accurate and natural that I honestly feel so grateful for all the ridiculous detail and expertise on display. As much as Selick is ScareKing of Hallowe'en cinematic magic, I'd love to see him tackle a (fully) Christmas flick.
31 Days of Hallowe'en, Day 28: Peur(s) du noir (Fears(s) of the Dark) (2007)0
Ooh, those menacingly plucking strings of music over the opening credits got my attention (as did the monster screams in the background), though the repeatedly strobe-like flashes of the credit text probably isn't best if your eyes are a bit tired. Peur(s) du noir (or, Fear(s) of the Dark), is a black-and-white animated anthology horror. Each directed by one artist (or graphic artist), the stories tell singular stories about snippets of fear.
There are six segments in total; four are standalone stories – one about a boy who studies insects; another about a young girl and a Samurai spirit; the third is about a boy who crosses paths with a monster, and the fourth about a man who takes refuge from a blizzard in an abandoned cabin. The other two creep in alongside the other stories as segment bookends – one is about a man who sics his vicious dogs on people, and the other is a series of graphics with a woman narrating her personal fears.
The first segment (about a boy who's fascinated with bugs) is compelling and relatable, but the animation and story on the other two were a little too dull. The bookend piece about the man and his dogs was quite ghoulish (particularly the ending), maybe more owing to the Lon Chaney-like gargoyle appearance of the man, and the sequences were short and sinister enough. What let it down a fair bit for me was the narrated segment. I get that it set the tone that this wasn't going to be some animated French version of V/H/S or The ABCs of Death, but the designs were too dull when paired with the narration, which came off as suffocatingly pretentious.
Anthologies can be a bit of a broken beast. People often judge them as a complete, Love Actually-esque film, as if they're supposed to intersect and provide a neatly-connected story. But the "bookend" segments make it clear that this is a series of parts that aren't necessarily meant to fit together other than drumming up a fairly unified tone. It does make for some disjointed viewing, especially as the stories are so different; they start out Creepypasta-ish with shock over substance, but then shift towards more traditional chills.
Which is why, for me, the final segment (the man in the cabin, by Richard McGuire), is my personal favourite. It makes effective use of the advertised black-and-white (the Samurai segment was more grayscale); the colours are stark and the animation is clean and simple. McGuire mucks about brilliantly with light and dark – because the cabin is deserted and the man only has a gaslight lamp, all we see is what's in the light; maybe a bit of shadow. If it had been a live-action film, we would have seen everything in that house – even in the dark. Outlines of the floor, fireplace, chairs, doors, etc. But we only ever see what's illuminated by that tiny circle of light. There's also no dialogue, and the music is used sparingly. I was a bit disappointed with how abruptly it ended, and when I found out that my reading of the story was wrong – I thought the man was returning to an old home, rather than happening upon a stranger's – but even on its own, it's a strikingly innovative segment. Absolutely worth watching for that one alone.
I watched this one on Netflix UK, and the running time of 80-odd minutes is a tad misleading, as there are over 6 minutes of credits. I didn't see anything afterwards, but just more of the flashy-flashy Men in Black-type design they inflicted on us for the opening titles.
31 Days of Hallowe'en, Day 27: Dark Skies (2013)0
"Two possibilities exist:
Either we are alone in the Universe or we are not.
Both are equally terrifying."
And so our movie opens with a rather chilling quote from Arthur C. Clarke. In comes the dramatic irony with a pleasant family barbecue hosted by Lacy (Keri Russell) and Daniel (Josh Hamilton) Bennett. Everything seems rosy, but the adults are distracted by their strained relationships, money woes and piling bills. They're too busy to be honest or intimate with each other, and definitely too busy to watch their young boys, who are either reading scary stories in the dark or watching the tamest, lamest porn ever with neighbour kids in the dark. It's a nice house though. Big. Spacious enough for an unknown entity to poltergeist its way around, destroy every item in the fridge ("what kind of animal eats all the lettuce but leaves all the bacon?") and spook the dog.
Daniel chalks it up to a stray animal ("a giant rabbit with opposable thumbs"), but when Lacy wakes up in the middle of the night to find a surreal tin can sculpture in the kitchen, she's not so convinced. And after every family photo is replaced with a sheet of white paper in the frame, and when their youngest son starts to have random terror episodes, the already-fractured family dynamics begin to fall apart.
After hundreds of birds inexplicably slam against every window in their house, Lacy suffers a near stroke-like episode. She then uses her enforced downtime from work to…Google the occurrences. Well, that's probably what most people would have done, and we get to see her deteriorating state of mind when we see her click on a link that literally says "conspiracy theories". So on the surface of things, it comes across as a very tense drama about the pitfalls of middle-class pride and a broken family struggling through a very, very contemporary financial setback. And as petty as some of the arguments Lacy and Daniel have (a massive blowout when she discovers he lied about how well an interview went – that's really it), their story is relatable.
But it's not enough to hold one's attention during what should be a tense horror movie. Netflix UK's synopsis states the movie is about a family who discover that aliens have been abducting young children and that one of theirs might be next. This plot point isn't even revealed until almost the final act!
The interminably slow build-up relies on a series of "are you fucking kidding me with this tropes": disturbing children's drawings, mass bird suicide omen, circumstantial, real-world hindrances (the boys develop some truly horrific marks on their body that prompt neighbours to think that the Barretts are abusing them). Jump scares are a thing of the past, but this movie uses them as if they're the next big thing. Much of this works well as an insidiously-paced psychological horror, but the filmmakers just can't restrain themselves when they reveal said aliens and destroy the ambiguity (are they really abusing their kids?) that was the sole cause of any tension the movie had going for it.
While the film does draw you in by painting a portrait of an estranged family in danger of becoming dysfunctional (especially with a disaffected pubert [yes, I am making this a word]), if we're going to stay with this family, I would have preferred to see them make more realistic choices, even if each of their mental states are questionable. Given the official synopsis, I think it would have worked better to see a variety of families experiencing the same situation, rather than the singular journey of some self-absorbed, privileged couple who waste over half the movie not quite understanding what they're facing. It could even have been a TV series, allowing the supernatural/sci-fi events to unfold while learning each family's story.
The movie starts out around typical, strained relationships but then the lazy formula starts to creep in with the arrival of The Donor, a character type that Provides Information so that the rest of the movie has more structure now than the slow-burning Strange Things Are Happening of the first two acts. It's an insulting bit of cop-out, as we're told that there's no reason why the aliens do what they do. So they just seem to torment everybody by causing strokes and meddling with Social Services just to troll their test subjects? What lazy writing. There is a rather sweet scene in which the family realise they must physically and mentally stick together to overcome, and they sit down to watch the 4th of July fireworks on the TV while having dinner. It's the only time we see them together as a family.
But by the end, it's Stupid Decisions A-Plenty, and a third act that feels nicked from an episode of The X-Files is hastily tacked on. At this point, I don't know what sort of movie this is trying to be, and the maudlin imagery and dreamworld fake-outs aren't going to provide an appropriate distraction from it. It was honestly all so…boring. Isn't that the worst thing a horror movie can be?
31 Days of Hallowe'en, Day 26: Grabbers (2012)0
A bunch of drunks evading aliens directed by a guy whose surname is Wright. It might look like a very quick-timed ripoff of The World's End, but this is just as fun, only it knows it's holding its own on a much smaller scale. It's just someone else having a go at a similar (but honestly not identical) concept. As soon as I heard the very obvious Wilhelm Scream(s?) 3 minutes in, I knew this was going to be a cheeky bit of naff.
First off, there's some damn fine scenery; the film's set on a small Irish island. Think sweeping coastlines, medieval walls, cobblestones, and yes, lots of alcoholics. Of which our main character, Garda (Policeman) Ciarán O'Shea (Andy Serkis lookalike Richard Coyle) is one. And he's paired up with typically strait-laced former gritty city cop Garda Lisa Nolan (Ruth Bradley). The two are called to look at some mangled, beached-up whales, but when a fisherman is "grabbed" into the ocean (by a monster so invisible that the film's budget sighed with relief), they soon discover that there's a greater, inhuman threat, and the mismatched pair are tasked with saving humanity in between their probably sexual bickering.
Possibly owing to my patronising xenophilia (yes, philia), I already think that the Irish have very distinct personalities that translate enormously well onto screen. So they could have gotten a bunch of nobodies for some of the bit parts and I wouldn't have known – everybody just acts so natural. Even for a rural couple who are trying to figure out if their neighbour Clooney is dancing or being used as bait one rainy night. And it's probably because of this instant cinematic familiarity that we feel bad for each and every day player that meets a rather nasty fate.
Because of the nature of the "Grabbers", they're not seen much – at first. They come from out of nowhere to snatch their victims, so a situation like this would appear all but hopeless when the shit starts grabbing at the fan. Especially when our drunken Garda is at the forefront of the action and looks like our best shot for salvation. Hopeless! Or! Maybe not! Turns out that, after some scienceing, it's determined that being drunk wards off these monsters, like some kind of paralytic, piss-your-pants alien repellent.
And so we see yet another excellent excuse for an entire cast to be completely pissed out of sheer necessity. It's a fresher student's dream. I'm afraid this is my guilty comedy pleasure. Some people love toilet humour; I have a soft spot for when characters get drunk or high and stumble about daftly making poor verbal and physical decisions. Pissed-up pratfalls.
It's a surprisingly well-made film; it doesn't have terribly witty lines (who needs 'em when you have hilariously merry drunks?), but it's got some pretty impressive SFX (though the baby grabbers look like jelly in ladies' tights on puppet strings), and some warm performances, including a deliciously sharp, deadpan turn from Being Human and Sherlock marvel Russel Tovey, poshing it up as the local Scientist Who Helps Figure Things Out. Meanwhile, Bradley's screams are truly the worst thing you'll hear. Ever. It's not really a flick that requests repeat viewings. It's the sort of movie you'd happily enjoy watching a group as utterly sloshed as the characters. There's even a drinking game for it. Though there's probably a drinking game for everything.
31 Days of Hallowe'en, Day 25: The Skull (1965)0
I'm now wishing I'd added more classic horror to the list. Even beyond horror, that era has a style of filmmaking so far removed from the ones I grew up with and enjoyed today. Everything is so dramatic – the shuddering violins, the shrill crescendoes, the hair-raising lady screams (I swear, people screamed MUCH differently in movies back then), the slow zooms – even the way the opening credits are hurled at you can give you the old-fashioned creeps.
So I knew I didn't underestimate The Skull, a pre-Saw, pre-Sinister etc. movie that had the legendary likes of Peter Cushing AND AND AND CHRISTOPHER FUCKING LEE. The former plays Pierre, a collector of occult artefacts who happens across a skull (the very same one that caused the hair-raising scream in the prologue). But it's not just any skull – it's that of the Marquis de Sade, famous French writer of all things sordid. The film adds a (somewhat true) backstory in which the Marquis was heavily engaged in Satanic sadism and all things unsavoury. So naturally, Cushing's character just has to have it. Even though it was originally stolen from Sir Matthew Philips (Lee – sadly, in a supporting role). Funny thing is, Philips doesn't want it anymore. Yay for everyone involved! Probably.
To be honest, one could just sit and listen to Cushing and Lee say things to each other and think it was impressive. They both exude creepy class. When the two gents calmly discuss the skull over a dimly-lit game of snooker, surrounded by black candlesticks and story-stuffed artefacts, there's already a sophisticated yet ghoulishly claustrophobic atmosphere built up.
And then it gets a bit weird from here. And when I mean weird, I mean surreal – no, actually, totally fucking bonkers. Crescendoes and zoomy-zooms and Dali-esque imagery start to dominate the film to the point where not much dialogue seems to be needed. It's a little slow-paced, but it's such a short movie that you're not really going to notice much of a lag.
This movie utterly relishes the opportunity to throw close-ups of a plethora of weird and wonderful props at every turn (after all, both main characters are collectors of all things spooky). Had it not been for the whistling wind and billowing curtains, I'd have thought it was a paranormal home shopping network telecommercial. It's like Hoaders: Most Haunted edition. Except with a shitload of honestly-quite-frightening masks, swords, and other "nope" things that, if you were to accept from a a Mogwai store, it'd be the start of your own horror movie. (I still wanted to buy it all.) Pair this with the upper-class backgrounds of each character, and you've got ample chances for some suitably eerie imagery of gargoyles, taxidermied crows, imposing antler furniture, dusty mantlepieces, crackling fireplaces and ghastly wallpaper in a ghostly stately home. I mean – characters are literally walking around a lofty, cobwebbed mansion holding a skull, through which there are a number of surprisingly ominous POV shots.
Quite fascinating are the true notes of the story – the actual skull of the Marquis de Sade was removed shortly after he died. The body had been exhumed and the skull taken for phrenological examination (a cheeky reference to this is the phrenologist thief who is the skull's first victim in the prologue). It went through a series of owners, but was then lost. The skull was never found.
It doesn't get any deliciously creepier than that.

Lights in Basildon underpass where woman was raped haven't been working for three months
Chloe Chapman / / News
THE lights in a dingy underpass where a young woman was raped are still broken.
Engineers from Essex County Council were at the scene under Broadmayne, Basildon, yesterday but failed to get the lights working again.
It comes as police launched a fresh appeal for information after a 26 year-old was followed and attacked by a man as she walked home alone on Friday night. She become aware of someone behind her as she reached the St Martins and Church Walk area at about 11pm.
The woman is now recovering at home following the vicious attack.
DI Andy Clarkson, from the Sexual Offences Investigation Team, said: "It was a busy Friday night and many people were out in the area. Did you see a man, described as skinny, average height and wearing a grey hoodie, on what was a very hot evening, acting suspiciously or see him running in The Gore area after the attack?
"We believe that this man is local to Basildon or has local knowledge of the area.
"I would appeal for anyone who knows that an associate, friend or family member, who came in on Friday night, hot and probably sweaty and possibly acting strangely, considers whether this person could be responsible for this appalling crime."
The council made "several" attempts to fix the broken lights in the underpass behind Basildon Magistrates Court since they were first reported nearly three months ago.
It is thought severe water damage means major repairs will now be needed.
A spokesman for Essex Highways said: "We were alarmed to hear about this incident and our thoughts are, of course, with the victim.
"The safety of pedestrians using the underpass is a priority. Unfortunately, at this underpass, a number of repairs to the lighting have failed.
Promoted stories
"The issue with the lighting was first reported to us on April 30, and repairs have been carried out on several occasions since.
"An engineer visited the site on Monday and found that a junction box had burnt out because of water damage. This was replaced.
"However, the day after it was reported that the lights were out again. Engineers were due to visit the site yesterday to reassess the situation.
"It is possible major work may be needed to repair the on-going problem."
Anyone who can help identify the suspect is asked to contact detectives at the Rayleigh Sexual Offences Investigation Team on 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Lights in Basildon underpass where woman was raped haven't been working for three months: Police issue further appeal for information after 26-year-old attacked
What have Pat and Phil Rackley got to say about this in their capacity as Councillers for the ward where this underlass is located?
What are the UKIP councillers doing about it?
I trust that immediate action will take place to rectify this light problem in light of this horrific attack and also the recent assault of a male by three assailants in the same underpass.

Fox Nation is promoting a video under its "culture" section of a New Black Panther Party member saying, "Let's talk about the little black babies that you use as alligator bait," continuing Fox News' documented pattern of promoting the designated hate group.
From Fox Nation, accessed Sept. 29:
Fox News has aggressively hyped the discredited allegations that the Justice Department did not pursue additional voter-intimidation charges against New Black Panther Party members because the DOJ is hostile to enforcing voting-rights laws when the alleged violator is a minority.

Brit Hume falsely suggested that Christopher Coates was a political appointee in the Clinton administration, and thus has credibility in pushing the New Black Panthers Party phony story. In fact, Coates was hired as a career attorney during the Clinton administration, and reportedly became a "true member of the team" in the highly politicized Bush DOJ.
Reporting on Justice Department lawyer Christopher Coates testimony on the phony New Black Panthers Party scandal, Fox News falsely reported that the Justice Department had "determined that the Voting Rights Act... had not been violated" in the case. In fact, the Obama administration's DOJ obtained default judgment against one of the defendants on the basis of his violation of that law.
Discussing Justice Department lawyer Christopher Coates' testimony on the phony New Black Panthers Party scandal, Bill O'Reilly and Megyn Kelly pushed claims that the case shows the Obama administration's Justice Department is "not interested" in protecting white voters from discrimination. But their claims were riddled with falsehoods and misrepresentations.
Once again, the right-wing media has found a way to criticize basically anything Obama does or says. This time, they're attacking Obama for omitting the words "the Creator" when quoting from the Declaration of Independence. You see, to them, this is just further evidence that Obama is a godless, heathen, secret Muslim, anti-colonial Kenyan...or whatever.
On September 15 at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute's Annual Awards Gala, President Barack Obama said:
So let me close by saying this. Long before America was even an idea, this land of plenty was home to many peoples. To British and French, to Dutch and Spanish, to Mexican -- to countless Indian tribes. We all shared the same land. We didn't always get along. But over the centuries, what eventually bound us together -- what made us all Americans -- was not a matter of blood, it wasn't a matter of birth. It was faith and fidelity to the shared values that we all hold so dear. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, endowed with certain inalienable rights: life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That's what makes us unique. That's what makes us strong. The ability to recognize our common humanity; to remember that in this country, equality and opportunity are not just words on a piece of paper, they're not just words in the mouths of politicians -- they are promises to be kept. And that is our calling now -- to keep those promises for the next generation. No matter which way the political winds shift, I will stand with you for that better future. And if you stand with me, and if we remember that fundamental truth -- that divided we fall, but united we are strong, and out of many, we are one -- then you and I will finish what we have started. We will make sure that America forever remains an idea and a place that's big enough and bold enough and brave enough to accommodate the dreams of all our children and all our people for years to come. Si, se puede. Thank you. God bless you, and God bless the United States of America. Thank you.

Acting as a guest host for Glenn Beck's radio show, Chris Baker claimed that at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing scheduled for next week, Democrats will be "coming after your guns." Similarly, blogger Jim Hoft highlighted the hearing -- which is titled "Firearms in Commerce: Assessing the Need for Reform in the Federal Regulatory Process" -- and said: "Now they're coming for your guns." Not to be outdone, the Fox Nation linked to Hoft's blog post under the headline: "Democrats Schedule Meeting to Regulate Gun Sales."
One big problem for this black helicopter story line: It's already been debunked by other conservative media outlets. According to Hot Air's Ed Morissey, for instance, the hearing is on the topic of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives Reform and Firearms Modernization Act of 2009, a bill that has a large number of Republican sponsors and -- get this -- is supported by the National Rifle Association.
But here's Fox Nation trying their best to stoke gun owners fears:

Andrew Napolitano smeared the Obama administration as being "in tight" with the New Black Panther Party, citing the myth that the Obama Justice Department would not prosecute a party member for "[i]ntimidating voters with a weapon." In fact, the decision to not pursue criminal charges was made by the Bush DOJ, and the Obama administration won an injunction against the party member who carried a weapon.
Today, Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson writes that Glenn Beck's 8-28 rally -- set to take place on the anniversary and at the location of Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1963 "I Have a Dream" speech -- is "an exercise in self-aggrandizement on a Napoleonic scale" and that "no puffed-up blabbermouth could ever diminish the importance of the 1963 March on Washington or the impact of King's unforgettable words." Robinson further notes that "Beck's version of history is flat-out wrong":
The most offensive thing about the rally is Beck's in-your-face boast that the event will "reclaim the civil rights movement." But this is just a bunch of nonsense -- too incoherent to really offend. Beck makes the false assertion that the struggle for civil rights was about winning "equal justice," not "social justice" -- in other words, that there was no economic component to the movement. He claims that today's liberals, through such initiatives as health-care reform, are somehow "perverting" King's dream.
But Beck's version of history is flat-out wrong. The full name of the event at which King spoke 47 years ago was the "March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom." Among its organizers was labor leader A. Philip Randolph, the founder of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and a vice president of the AFL-CIO, who gave a speech describing the injustice of "a society in which 6 million black and white people are unemployed and millions more live in poverty."
Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), then an official of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, was the youngest speaker at the march. "We march today for jobs and freedom, but we have nothing to be proud of, for hundreds and thousands of our brothers are not here -- for they have no money for their transportation, for they are receiving starvation wages," he told the crowd. Referring to proposed civil rights legislation, Lewis said: "We need a bill that will provide for the homeless and starving people of this nation. We need a bill that will ensure the equality of a maid who earns five dollars a week in the home of a family whose total income is $100,000 a year."
REPORT: Martin Luther King would have been on Glenn Beck's chalkboard

Martin Luther King III responds to Beck's Aug. 28 rally: My father "wholeheartedly embrace[d] the 'social gospel'"
"American miracle": Beck's outrageous predictions for his "historic" 8-28 rally
Glenn Beck recently lashed out at civil rights leaders who accused him of "hijacking" the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights movement. Though Beck claims he isn't "hijacking" King's legacy in "any way, shape, or form," he has repeatedly attempted to co-opt both King and the civil rights movement to promote his upcoming 8-28 rally and other political causes.
In an August 25 Washington Post op-ed, Martin Luther King III discussed Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally planned to take place on the anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington and Martin Lulther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. Writing that "it is clear from the timing and location that the rally's organizers present this event as also honoring the ideals and contributions of Martin Luther King Jr.," he stated, "I would like to be clear about what those ideals are." From the op-ed:
Although he was a profoundly religious man, my father did not claim to have an exclusionary "plan" that laid out God's word for only one group or ideology. He marched side by side with members of every religious faith. Like Abraham Lincoln, my father did not claim that God was on his side; he prayed humbly that he was on God's side.
He did, however, wholeheartedly embrace the "social gospel." His spiritual and intellectual mentors included the great theologians of the social gospel Walter Rauschenbush and Howard Thurman. He said that any religion that is not concerned about the poor and disadvantaged, "the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them and the social conditions that cripple them[,] is a spiritually moribund religion awaiting burial." In his "Dream" speech, my father paraphrased the prophet Amos, saying, "We will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream."
I pray that all Americans will embrace the challenge of social justice and the unifying spirit that my father shared with his compatriots. With this commitment, we can begin to find new ways to reach out to one another, to heal our divisions, and build bridges of hope and opportunity benefiting all people. In so doing, we will not merely be seeking the dream; we will at long last be living it.
