Originally written on Blue Seat Blogs | Last updated 4/6/13
In the third period of last night's shootout loss to the Penguins, Michael Del Zotto caught James Neal with an elbow to the jaw behind the Rangers net (video above). Del Zotto said on MSG after the game that he was trying to brace himself for a hit, but the contact was a bit awkward, as it looked like Del Zotto was already past Neal, and stuck his right arm out. Del Zotto doesn't have a suspension history, or a history of dirty plays. As I watch this video (you can't really watch it in slow-mo, everything happens in real-time, not slow-mo) it looks like MDZ does throw that elbow, but his back is to Neal so it's hard to say whether he was intentionally aiming for him. The league will need to make a decision fast, as the Rangers play tonight. Tweet

JHJ Ks. He does NOT like the call from the ump.
JHJ Ks. He does NOT like the call from the ump.
Votto up.
Would be nice to find some runs this inning. Tough to hold this kind of lead in that park against that team.
Wow surprised Jerry didn't get run. Umpire was ready for it.
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.
I've never seen anybody argue more called third strikes than JHJ
Votto punched out looking as well. He also does not like the call.
Two down.
I would advise the Reds to swing, this ump is giving Durbin the corners.
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it."
Phillips gets hit. The ump calls it a strike anyway.
Not really.
Phillips on first base.
Nix up, two down.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Nix grounds out.
2-1 Reds up middle of six.
Nasty half inning for the Reds and Homer to deal with as they nurse the one-run lead.
Utley/Howard/Werth due up.
The pitch to Votto was a little closer to the plate than Jerry's. However with two strikes you can't afford to take with this umpire.
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.

The Rock Garden 134 - January 2015 - out now
This issue draws your attention to the delights to be found in the North of Scotland and invites you to join the SRGC expedition there in 2015.
Elsewhere, there is a strong emphasis on practicalities and growing, with articles on the merits and raising of Cardiocrinum giganteum, Ornithogalum, Meconopsis, miniature daffodils and - a success from the club's seed exchange - Fuchsia boliviana. Martin Carter (deceased) relates some of the realities behind his learning to grow alpines at Ardross House and Stan da Prato describes the way in which the club's prize-winning exhibit at Gardening Scotland is put together.
From further afield, Liz Cole has been to the Kyoto Botanic Garden in Japan and Harry Jans continues the second section of his photo essay of his beautiful discoveries in Yunnan.
Among the show reports you will find many excellent photographs, with remarkable full page images supported by the Danner bequest. We are of course accustomed to seeing excellent photographs but we rarely see paintings of the plants we love; we are therefore fortunate to have an article by Anne Gilchrist that combines her love of native Scottish flowers with the insights of her own artistic ability.
Our advertisers have been generous with their support and their colourful and diverse advertisements conclude our enjoyment until the appearance of our next issue 135 in July 2015.

Roll Jordan, rollRoll Jordan, rollI want to go to heaven when I dieTo hear ol' Jordan roll
A rising tide. This is the closest feeling and image I can give to describe the impact of watching Steve McQueen's film 12 Years A Slave, based on the true narrative by Solomon Northrup, a free black man who was captured and sold into slavery in 1841. It is a tide that hits, even when you're not ready, recedes, then comes back with a force more powerful than the last.
This tide keeps coming, and you keep anticipating it, but nothing can prepare you for the overwhelming fear and loathing that fill your body when slave owner Master Epps (Michael Fassbender) enters the frame, and Solomon's (Chiwetel Ejiofor) face falls heavy with an aquatic force.
Kamala Lopez is on a mission to get the long-suffering Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) passed—and she's starting with making a film about why America needs the law that would guarantee equal rights for women and men under the Constitution. The film,Equal Means Equal, has six days left to raise its $87,000 budget on Kickstarter.
Wadjda is the first feature film shot entirely in Saudi Arabia. But while director Haifaa al-Mansour's grueling effort to make the film is certainly impressive, Wadjda doesn't rest on the accomplishment of being an international first—the film is excellent by any standard. It would be a great film even if it were the fourth film shot in Saudi Arabia or the hundredth.
What's refreshing about the film is it does not try to tell a moral story. Instead, it follows a young girl named Wadjda through her daily life, resulting in an intimate look at the kind of life that's rarely seen.
There is a wedding scene at the beginning of Andrew Dosunmu's Mother of George that exudes such richness, visual beauty, magic, and love, that I wanted to be in it. At a traditional Nigerian wedding ceremony in Brooklyn, main characters Adenike (Danai Gurira) and Ayodele (Isaach De Bankole) forge a union that's blessed by elders, Orishas and full of lively music, hennaed hands, and shimmering gold fabric.
The new movie The Conjuring has been called "scary as hell" and "the summer's scariest movie"—it's so frightening, in fact, that it earned an R rating despite an absence of any explicit violence, sex, gore, or foul language. According to star Patrick Wilson, the film gave the ratings board a case of the willies that was simply too intense for a mere PG-13.
Read this full essay on ghosts—featured on our new Popaganda podcast episode!—below the cut.
The title of In a World… references the catchphrase of one Don LaFontaine, who until his death in 2008 was the voice behind thousands of movie trailers. He teased car-chasing, landmark-exploding action pictures and epic, tearjerking bids for Oscar nominations with an impossibly plummy voice that earned him the nicknames "Thunder Throat" and "The King of Voiceovers," not to mention millions of dollars. In the movie, LaFontaine's real-life death is the catalyst for an epic rumble of another kind—the bid for a new set of pipes to take over as reigning monarch of blockbuster voiceovers.
My grandmother, Geneva Wright, in the 1950s in Syracuse, New York.
I grew up hearing a story.
My grandmother was a cleaning lady for a white family that kept the fingers and toes of black people in a jar on their mantle. No, this was not slavery. This was 1940's South Carolina. When I saw Lee Daniels' The Butler, I thought of my grandmother's experience, and how one can endure and somehow withstand dehumanization on a daily basis, only to survive, and love after it all.
I love a summer blockbuster. I'll take a dystopic future flick, a classic underdog tale, and all of the explosions you can send my way. When it comes to summer movies, escapism is a major draw; it's nice to sit back and fully immerse yourself in an alternate reality.
But it's hard to immerse yourself in a reality where people like you are relegated to the margins of the storyline. Which was my experience when watching this summer's Elysium on the big screen.
Sex never fails as a way to sell movie tickets, but three films hitting theaters at the end of this summer all revolve around the same central issue: porn.
Lovelace, The Canyons, and Don Jon are all Hollywood takes on porn, all debuting nationwide this August and September. This is like the porn version of 1998's great Deep Impact vs. Armageddon debacle.
The name, the legend, the fantasy, the pariah, the political lightening rod: Linda Lovelace stood for a sexual revolution that she could not enjoy for herself. She made porn mainstream as the star of infamous movie Deep Throat, yet porn was something she was forced to do by her abusive husband. New biopic Lovelace is not a celebration of sex, porn, or the infamy of Deep Throat—it's a look at the unhappy life she lived off-camera.

'If I Stay' director R.J. Cutler used 'Nashville' experience as a guideAdd to Favorites | Nashville
Though he has plenty of experience directing TV episodes and documentaries, R.J. Cutler is making his feature film debut with "If I Stay," starring Chloe Grace Moretz as a girl having an out-of-body experience while she lays in a coma. Cutler, who serves as an executive producer on "Nashville" and directed the show's pilot, spoke to Zap2it about the differences he encountered moving into feature films.
This is a much bigger canvas," he says. Beyond what you might expect, in terms of a bigger budget and more time, there's also a very different role the director plays. "You have a directorial prerogative that you don't necessarily have in a TV environment," Cutler continues. "In TV, not only is the writer of the project the principle creative force, but you're working with many other layers in the TV universe."
There are some things that never change, though. "The principles of good storytelling are all the same," he explains. "The principles of how you're working with structure and character, and how narrative is impacted by then, it's all the same."
Additionally, there's one specific and important way "Nashville" informed the movie. Much like the show, music plays a central character in "If I Stay." "I think my experience on 'Nashville' helped me understand from moment one that if we didn't do that work in advance, we wouldn't achieve what we wanted to achieve," he says. "Months before we started shooting, we started collecting songs."
Indeed, Cutler and the music supervisors spent time focusing on each main character, and the music that would tell the story of their life. From Mia (Moretz), an avid fan of classical, to Adam (Jamie Blackley), who is influenced by everything from punk to pop, work was done to discover their musical identities
Beyond being his first feature, there was one other aspect of the movie that was unique to him. "If I Stay" is an adaptation of a young adult novel, which already has an established fanbase. "I love that we have this great fanbase and that it's discovering new fans," Cutler says. Still, in turning the book into a movie he couldn't focus on simply serving the fans.
"I'm thinking about creating a film that is a true response to the book," he says. "For me, I wanted viewers of the film to have the same kind of emotional experience I had while reading the book."
In achieving that, some things may get added to the movie that simply wouldn't work in the book. "When spirit Mia is standing high above the scene and watching as Mia in the past is playing the cello on Labor Day, that's not in the book," he explains. "It's a purely cinematic moment. Yet, it's truly faithful to the book."
"If I Stay" is in theaters Aug. 22.
