Tribute bands take center stage at festival
October 1, 2008
By David Hayes
The Issaquah Salmon Days Festival is renowned for four things — the salmon, the arts and crafts, the food and the entertainment.
David Harris has long overseen much of anything that has to do with musical entertainment in this town. While he's been able to attract some of the best local and regional talent to perform in Issaquah, it would be cost prohibitive to attract the biggest acts in the music business.
So, for this year's Salmon Days, he came up with a new theme that's the next best thing — tribute bands.
Rather than inviting Canada's biggest export, Rush, Harris booked the Seattle Rush tribute band 2112 (named after the group's landmark classic album). Instead of pulling Journey and Styx off their world tours, Harris discovered another Seattle product, The Grand Delusion (a play on Styx's classic album, "The Grand Illusion").
Can't muster the resources to reunite the members of Pink Floyd? Have local group The Rockafellers stand in.
"Of particular interest, The Rockafellers performed a couple years ago the complete Wall performance for the Concert on the Green," Harris said. "They're going to do a shortened version for Salmon Days."
Ron Smevik, of The Rockafellers, said the group loved performing Pink Floyd's entire theatrically inspired "The Wall" album so much, they decided to give it another go for a bigger audience.
"It was great at the Concerts on the Green," said Smevik, who plays lead guitar. "There were probably 1,000 people on the green that day."
Since performing the Pink Floyd album is a particular passion for Smevik, he said he is excited to do it again after two years.
"The live version is renowned for its guest performers. We'll have a few, including Alan White on drums," Smevik said, talking about the former Yes drummer, who now lives in Newcastle. (See story on Page B4.)
Another popular Concert on the Green attraction will be making its debut at Salmon Days — Cherry Cherry, a Neil Diamond tribute band.
"It was a fantastic crowd at the Issaquah Community Center and we're looking forward to Salmon Days," said Cherry Cherry lead singer Steve Kelley. "With Neil Diamond just in town, if you missed the show, you can still enjoy his songs with us."
After performing mostly at motorcycle rallies for 15 years, Kelley discovered Neil Diamond was actually the perfect performer to cover for that audience. The band has been doing Neil tunes like "Sweet Caroline," "Song Sung Blue," "America" and, of course, "Cherry Cherry" for two and a half years.
"But I don't try to be Neil Diamond," he quickly added. "No one can fill those shoes."
Harris said he thinks he's got a winning lineup on the festival's main stage, also known as the Rainier Blvd. Stage.
"Every year, we try to do something different," he said. "Last year, it was 'Dance, Dance, Dance.' This year it's tributes to some of the great bands. Next year, is the 40th Anniversary of Woodstock. I'd like to do something along that theme. I'm always thinking a year ahead."
- 11:15-12:15 p.m. — The Grand Delusion (Styx/Journey tribute band)
- 12:35-1:35 p.m. — 2112 (Rush tribute band)
- 2-3 p.m. — Brickhouse Show Band (high energy dance band)
- 3:30-4:25 p.m. — About Face (high-carb classic rock)
- 5-6 p.m. — The Rockafellers (Pink Floyd tribute band)
- 11:15-12:15 p.m.— Bassic Saxx (funky jazz)
- 12:30-1:30 p.m. — Who Cares (classic rock)
- 2-3 p.m. Bill Brown and the King Bees

Filters are necessary for a Chevrolet Monte Carlo car in order to produce a great performance. Your motor vehicle must have an Chevrolet Monte Carlo automatic transmission filter to perform efficiently. Since your vehicle's motoring speed is essentially determined by the automatic transmission system, keeping the filter and the fluid at optimal quality is essential for your mechanism to work.
Different debris, contaminants, as well as dirt on the AT fluid will cause weak acceleration and driving performance. An uncontaminated fluid is required to lubricate and cool the gears to help deliver optimum power to the drive wheels. Prolong the life span of your car's internal parts and components by ensuring the fluid is kept clean regularly. Automatic transmission filters for Chevrolet Monte Carlo will be able to cleanse this important fluid consistently as long as you restore it every 30,000 miles to avert damage. Once the automatic transmission filter becomes clogged, you may experience poor transmission performance and also bad shifts.
Parts Train offers an assortment of Chevrolet Monte Carlo automatic transmission filter replacements. To discover what we have in store for you, just check out our wide selection of parts. AT filters from MagneFine, Meyle, and OES Genuine are sold at reasonable rates only here at our online selection.

Proposal for the new Tappan Zee Bridge.
The state Department of Environmental Conservation on Wednesday issued draft orders of rules for those working on the new Tappan Zee Bridge, spelling out such things as how much sediment can be pulled from the Hudson River and what types of protections must be put in place for river life.
The draft permit issued to the state Thruway Authority said two Atlantic and two shortnose sturgeon, both endangered species, might be killed by construction activities. But it also says mitigation efforts aimed at learning more about the fish and their habitat will result in a net conservation benefit for the sturgeon.
The document is a reworked version of a similar permit issued by the DEC last year. The revisions were made after the chosen contractor for the project said its design would cause less disturbance of the rivers banks and bottom than originally contemplated in the bridges environmental study. Tappan Zee Constructors in December was awarded a $3.1 billion contract to build the new structure.
In the original draft permit issued in June, the agency said the project could kill as many as 52 Atlantic sturgeon and 89 shortnose sturgeon.
Environmental groups have been critical of the states approach, calling for no dredging and for habitat improvement projects aimed at more species than just sturgeon. A spokeswoman for Riverkeeper said the group would be submitting written comments in response to the Thruway Authoritys application as well as attending a public hearing next month.
Under the draft permit, the authority would be required to hire an independent monitor for the expected five-year construction period and an additional six months. It also would have to submit separate plans for DECs approval before dredging, driving piles or bringing in concrete.
The hearing on the revised permit will take place from 2 to 6 p.m. Feb. 6 at the Comfort Inn and Suites, 425 East Route 59 in Nanuet, and 2 to 6 p.m. Feb. 7 at the Westchester Marriott, 670 White Plains Road in Tarrytown.
The document can be found at http://www.dec.ny.gov/docs/permits_ej_operations_pdf/tappanzeedrftprmt.pdf.

The association between ANKH promoter polymorphism and chondrocalcinosis is independent of age and osteoarthritis: results of a case–control study
1 Department of Rheumatology, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge CB2 0QQ, UK
2 Academic Rheumatology, University of Nottingham, Nottingham NG5 1PB, UK
3 Respiratory and Inflammation iMed, AstraZeneca, MöIndal SE-431 83, Sweden
4 Health Sciences Research Institute, University of Warwick, Warwick CV4 7AL, UK
Arthritis Research & Therapy 2014, 16:R25 doi:10.1186/ar4453Published: 27 January 2014
Chondrocalcinosis (CC) most commonly results from calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition (CPPD). The objective of this study is to examine the association between candidate single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and radiographic CC.
SNPs in ankylosis human (ANKH), high ferritin (HFE), tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP), ecto-neucleotide pyrophosphatase 1 (ENPP1), and transferrin (TE) genes were genotyped in participants of the Genetics of Osteoarthritis and Lifestyle (GOAL) and Nottingham Osteoarthritis Case-Control studies. Adjusted genotype odds ratio (aORGENOTYPE), the OR for association between one additional minor allele and CC, was calculated and adjusted for age, gender, body mass index (BMI), and osteoarthritis (OA) by using binary logistic regression. Statistical significance was set at P ≤0.003 after Bonferroni correction for multiple tests.
The -4bpG > A polymorphism in the 5′ untranslated region (5′ UTR) of ANKH associated with CC after Bonferroni correction. This was independent of age, gender, OA, and BMI; aORGENOTYPE (95% confidence interval, or CI) was 1.39 (1.14-1.69) (P = 0.001). rs3045 and rs875525, two other SNPs in ANKH, associated with CC; aORGENOTYPE (95% CI) values were 1.31 (1.09-1.58) (P = 0.005) and 1.18 (1.03-1.35) (P = 0.015), respectively; however, this was non-significant after Bonferroni correction.
This study validates the association between a functional polymorphism in the 5′ UTR of ANKH and CC and shows for the first time that this is independent of age and OA – the two key risk factors for CC. It shows that other SNPs in ANKH may also associate with CC. This supports the role of extracellular inorganic pyrophosphate in the pathogenesis of CC. The findings of this hospital-based study require replication in a community-based population.

Disney cellular to land on Japanese shores
updated 04:15 pm EST, Mon November 12, 2007
Disney cellular in Japan
Entertainment monolith Disney will soon launch new cellular products in Japan, the company has announced. Beginning in early 2008, the company will partner with local carrier Softbank, and begin producing unspecified content, as well as new Disney-branded cellphones. Softbank is currently the third-largest network operator in Japan; Reuters writes that it will most likely be the main beneficiary of the deal, since it is a new carrier and fighting giants NTT DoCoMo and KDDI.
For Disney, the move may be more suspect; an IDC Japan analyst argues that Softbank may gain no more than 100,000 to 200,000 customers out of a possible 100 million, and Disney recently announced the closure of Disney Mobile, its American MVNO. DM's death will mark at least the second failure of a major Disney cellular project, since the company had to close Mobile ESPN in 2006.

Last night's post may have some of you thinking that I'm crazy. First I posted about how I think my boyfriend is done with our relationship. Then I posted about how amazing it is to have been together for a year. I'm not crazy, I promise. I'm also not in any sort of denial. I just wanted to take a moment to celebrate how much we have done together this past year.
We have actually had a pretty great week celebrating his birthday (many times over) and our anniversary.
It's probably because I finally managed to find the courage to talk to J about a week ago. My next post will give you the honest details into that conversation. It'll be a little backwards for you to read, but who cares. I'm sure you'll work it all out just fine.
We are doing so much better. It's amazing what that talk did for us even though it completely sucked to have. We are back to our pre-April happy relationship.
Things still aren't perfect. We have A LOT of work to do, which you will soon see. There's a chance that things won't end up like I want them to. But as it stands today, I have my sweet, goofy boyfriend back.

Winterizing Your Home: 6 Areas to Focus On
Posted By Christine Brackel On November 21, 2012 @ 5:23 pm In Home Improvement,Homeowners Tips | 2 Comments
I'm a big fan of Snuggies. While I seem to recall this ingenious blanket-with-sleeves sparking a lot of criticism when its infomercials first aired, I have to admit, the Snuggie that we keep in the living room is one of our most cherished possessions. It allows you to eat dinner, change the channel on the TV, and read a book without your arms ever getting cold. Pure genius.
Heating bills can be astronomical in the winter months, so winterizing your home is essential to keeping those energy bills down. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a lot of energy is wasted by leaky windows or ducts, old appliances, and inefficient heating and cooling systems. If you fail to winterize your home, you might as well cut a hole in the bottom of your wallet; that's the effect your energy bill will have on your finances.
Before the outdoor temperature goes from acceptable to insufferable, commit a few hours to winterizing your home. Once the winter storms hit, it'll be too late. Don't know where to get started? Here are a few areas you'll need to take care of to get your home in good shape for the winter season.
The winter months are expensive enough without wasting money on leaked energy and unnecessary repairs. By taking just a few hours to check for leaks and problems around the house, you could save yourself a ton of money this winter. Do you have any winterizing tips to share with other Zing readers? Let us know in the comments!

DEAL ISLAND Crew members swam to shore after their commercial fishing vessel sank in the Tangier Sound off Deal Island during heavy rain Monday afternoon.
The U.S. Coast Guard said the boat captain and the other person on board swam to land from where their 30-foot vessel sank ---- about 300 feet southwest of Haines Point, said Petty Officer 2nd Class David Marin. The boat, named Miss Charlotte, sank in about 4 feet of water, he said.

The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan inflicted trauma to soldiers' brains resulting in what is called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD. Armed Forces were unprepared to treat the mental health wounds of war, manifested in the forms of addiction, domestic violence, and suicide. In addition, some veterans found themselves incarcerated for horrible crimes, including murder.
However, treatment of PTSD is available and effective. Veterans in Minnesota can seek help by contacting their local Veterans Service Officer for resources. Willmar has a service officer located at the Kandiyohi Health and Human Services building. St. Cloud Veterans Administration has an inpatient mental health unit and mental health outpatient clinic. There is also a Veterans Administration Outpatient Clinic located in Montevideo.
Treatment begins with an assessment to determine the extent of the problems. Medicines may be prescribed to decrease or lower activity, in certain areas of the brain, that became overactive during war. In addition to medicines, group support with peers provides a safe place to share similar stories and reduce a sense of isolation.
Addiction to drugs and or alcohol, an attempt to "self-medicate" symptoms of PTSD, needs to be reduced or stopped. This may require treatment in an inpatient chemical dependency program or outpatient program depending on the severity of the addiction.
Family education and support also is a component of healing. Family members have experienced both the terrifying fear of losing a loved one in battle and now by the assault of PTSD. Family members need support and someone to listen to them. They need to know that there is hope and that their loved one can recover.
Please go to http://www.ptsd.va.gov/index.asp.
And until next time, treat others and yourself with kindness; it's good for your brain.

A giant 88,000-pound earth mover with only 540 operating hours on it was purchased for the Roane County landfill. Smart shopping by Roane County Road Supervisor Bob Collier bought the monster for $2,500. The earth mover previously used by the county had half the capacity and more than 20,000 hours of operation.
10 Years Ago
Kingston senior Sarah Rainwater has accomplished a lot this season.
Unicoi County pitcher Kara Woods proved too much for the Kingston Lady Yellow Jackets to handle Saturday afternoon as the Lady Blue Devil ace tossed a complete-game four-hitter with six strikeouts to lead Unicoi County to a 6-2 victory with a berth in the TSSAA Class AA State Tournament on the line.
The 2011 Coalfield Basketball Camp will run next Tuesday thru Friday at Coalfield School.
The camp will run from 9 a.m. until noon daily for ages 5-9 and from noon until 3 p.m. for ages 10-13.
In the past 10 years the Harriman Blue Devils have won district championships, region championships and have advanced to the TSSAA Class A State Tournament three times.
Unfortunately for the Blue Devils, the one they they haven't been able to do during that span is win a TSSAA sectional contest at Unaka and Friday night was no different as the Rangers ended the Devils season for the fifth time this millennium with a 4-1 victory at Twins Stadium in Elizabethton.
The 2011 season came to an end Friday evening for the Midway Lady Green Waves, but the Lady Waves didn't go down without a fight as Craig Hutchinson and Barry Narramore's squad dropped a 12-10 decision at Unaka in the TSSAA Class A sectional.
The tone of Friday's slugfest was set early as Unaka's Katherine McInturff led off the bottom of the first inning with a home run. Unaka would score another run in the inning to take a 2-0 lead.
Midway answered with a vengeance as they scored six runs in the top of the second inning.
Residents of Kingston and parts of Roane county now have a new choice for their television and communications services powered by advanced technology.
AT&T has launched U-verse TV, high-speed Internet and voice services in parts of the county.
History was recently made when the Center for Oak Ridge Oral History received a donation of oral histories and other history-related materials from Oak Ridge National Laboratory to add to its growing collection.
The center, headquartered in Oak Ridge Public Library, was established in 2009 as a partnership between the city of Oak Ridge and the U.S. Department of Energy.
A committee of community volunteers, organizations and state and federal agencies provide advice and guidance to the city on its oral history initiative.

as a collector I can advise you that 1 only buy NIB units 2 DO NOT USE ITI simply love my current Nikon Fm3a
if you can not follow these rules for investment cameras then don't buy. FM3a bodies in used condition are just that, used cameras and are not worth the price they are bringing right now. Any FM3a purchase right now that is not a NIB unit is a waste of money if you are looking for an investment, prices are dropping and will go lower for quite a while.Even a NIB camera right now that runs 1200-2000 will only be worth about that much 20-30 years from now.

Newtown shooter Lanza had sensory disorder
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 02/20/2013 @ 11:50 pm In Health,U.S. | No Comments
(Washington Times) Adam Lanza, the Newtown, Conn., teenager who shot and killed 20 Sandy Hook Elementary School students and six staffers — and then himself — in December, was diagnosed with a medical condition at age 6 that made it unbearable for him to be touched.
With a sensory integration disorder, according to a PBS investigation that aired Tuesday evening and was subsequently reported by ABC, Lanza couldn't deal with being touch or with chaotic situations, including loud, bustling school hallways and classrooms. As the years progressed, he became increasingly isolated, ABC reported.
Those with the condition are sometimes even put off by the clothing they wear, ABC said.

St. Francis Xavier Catholic Schools: Updated security cameras and buzzer-controlled entrances.
Source: Fox Cities school districts
The Appleton Area School District had a long-range plan in place last year to beef-up security at entrances to its school buildings. But that timetable changed after the horrific shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. in December.
It was our plan to control entrances at all buildings over a period of years, said Don Hietpas, chief financial officer for the school district. I would say (Sandy Hook) pressed the timeline.
Hietpas said a handful of Appletons schools had buzzer-controlled entrances before the shooting rampage that killed 20 children and six adults. The district originally planned to expand the security measures by a few buildings each year.
Appleton is among a number of Fox Cities districts to put a renewed emphasis on security measures as the 2013-14 school year gets under way. Some schools began classes last week, but the majority will welcome students back on Tuesday.
School leaders say theyre doing everything in their power to keep students and staff members safe.
Appletons school district has spent $143,500 on upgrades an increase of nearly $129,000 over previous years. Hietpas said the funds paid for buzzer entrance controls at buildings throughout the district and video cameras near building entrances.
Wide-ranging impact
The Sandy Hook shooting also prompted officials in Chilton, Kaukauna, Kimberly, Little Chute, Menasha, New London, St. Francis Xavier Catholic Schools and Fox Valley Lutheran High School to evaluate current practices.
Many districts accelerated timelines for projects by completing them in the last eight months, rather than pushing the security measures into the future.
The New London Police Department raised funds to put police radios in every school in the community. The radios provide instant communication with police officers, which doesnt happen when school officials call 911, said Joe Marquardt, the school districts business services director.
If we call 911 it would be routed to the Waupaca County Sheriffs Department, then to New London police, he said. The new radios go directly to New London police cars.
In Little Chute, officials decided not to strictly adhere to the schedule that was laid out as part of a five-year technology referendum. They opted to push security to the forefront, completing camera upgrades and adding buzzer entry systems to schools, said Supt. David Botz.
But Botz cautioned that all the technology in the world wont replace crisis training or common sense.
The procedures may increase security, but the bottom line is we rely on our students, staff and community members to talk and listen to each other, Botz said. We all know even with the increase in technology if someone wants to get into our buildings, they will get in.
Training is vital
State legislators felt the same way in 2009, and required all public school districts to have a school safety plan in effect by May 2013.
Neenahs security plan was nearly finished before the Sandy Hook shooting.
Shattuck Middle School served as the plans testing ground. Staff members at the seventh- and eighth-grade middle school were trained in crisis response two years ago. The plan has now been fully implemented at all district schools.
Neenah schools have buzzer-controlled entrances, bulletproof glass and security cameras. But as recent events have made clear, those who want to do harm find ways to accomplish that goal.
The best defense is training staff members and students how to respond in crisis situations, said Shattuck principal Stephanie Phernetton and Andrew Thorson, the schools facilities engineer.
The school district collaborated with the Neenah Police Department, Neenah-Menasha Fire Rescue and the Winnebago County Sheriffs Department to develop procedures and training for students and staff.
Efforts focused on teaching students to think clearly when facing high-pressure emergency scenarios. That emphasis is intended, among other things, to prevent children from letting strangers into a building.
The whole basis of our training here in Neenah is teaching our kids to be thinkers so theyre independent thinkers in any type of situation and independent of any adult that may or may not be in the situation with them, Phernetton said.
Even with heightened security, schools are still public buildings, and officials dont want security measures to keep people away.
We have to have some measures to keep people who are trying to hurt us out, so we try to balance that with being welcoming, Phernetton said.

Until I switched to Excel 2007, I used an alternate approach – pivot tables. It's probably not as easy as this method, but it achieves the same thing.
Select the data, create a pivot table and then put the field you want the uniques as the rows – same result, but results in an additional worksheet.
@Dulan: thanks for sharing this idea with our readers, I have used Pivot tables to quickly extract unique items, items with more than certain number of entries etc, when I was processing huge amounts of sales data for monthly reports. Its very fast and easy.

Good job with the site – lots of interesting tips and tricks!
uh… sorry about that – my html attempt didn't quite work out…
Even when i moved to Office 2007 i was little confused about new shape – Maybe still, but i must admit, with time, when user get used to it, its much more time saving.
I use the Advanced filtering and ask for Unique values but it fails multiple times to eliminate one of the two "1"s in the data set of 36 numbers. WHY? "Remove Duplicates" does it flawlessly. What's wrong? I've reentered the data so it's not a lower-case L masquarading as a number 1. It's not a formula.

I think Excel is looking for a "header". Add a column title and include that in the range being filtered.

POSTED: 3:09 a.m. HST, Sep 13, 2012
LONDON (AP) — The cyclist who stumbled upon the British couple killed in a remote spot in the French Alps says the blood-soaked crime scene was something out of a Hollywood film.
Saad al-Hilli, his wife Iqbal, her mother and an unrelated French cyclist were shot dead in a forested area near France's Lake Annecy, a baffling murder that has shocked people on both sides of the English Channel.
William Brett Martin told BBC television that when he discovered the al-Hillis' car its engine was still revving and its wheels were spinning.
He said he saw the family's eldest daughter, now identified as 7-year-old Zaina, stumbling around in front of the vehicle covered in blood.
Martin's comments were broadcast Thursday.

Toshiro Mifune Conquers American TV
Posted by medusamorlock on August 8, 2012
With apologies to all the film aficionados and experts frequently present here on Movie Morlocks, I don't believe I'm going out on much of a limb in saying that many other people know or have heard of Toshiro Mifune not from his appearances in masterworks of Japanese cinema but from his appearance in one of the most famous broadcast television miniseries ever presented. On September 15, 1980, NBC presented Part 1 of their five-part adaptation of Shogun, novelist James Clavell's sweeping saga about a British sailor shipwrecked in 17th century Japan who ends up smack in the middle of an intense rivalry between two powerful and ambitious men who crave the same thing — to win the title of Shogun.
Blogathon 2012: Toshiro Mifune and the Strange Case of Stray Dog
Posted by David Kalat on August 4, 2012
A boilingly hot summer day, a crush of commuters, a moment of carelessness. With these universal ingredients, Akira Kurosawa set up a film that would mix the grim obsessions of film noir with a documentarian's observation of postwar Japanese life. Talk about universal–Stray Dog is a mashup of pulp pop and reportage, of true crime and intimate drama, of buddy cop movies and art house cinema, of East and West. There isn't much a movie can do that Stray Dog doesn't put on its agenda.
That being said, the international critical acclaim that greeted this film requires some dissection, because there's something really weird going on here. Stray Dog was never a barn-burning commercial splash, and it wasn't even distributed in the US until 1963 (almost 15 years after it was made) but it was an award-winning and highly regarded art house release that contributed substantially to Akira Kurosawa's growing renown, and there's something screwy about that.
Japan Cuts: The New York Festival of Contemporary Japanese Cinema
Posted by R. Emmet Sweeney on July 10, 2012
For the sixth year running, the Japan Cuts film series in New York City presents an eye-opening glimpse of contemporary filmmaking from across the Pacific, the vast majority of which will never receive distribution in the United States. Programmed in concert with the ongoing New York Asian Film Festival (which I covered for Film Comment), it runs from July 12 – 28 at the Japan Society, and will screen 37 features and two shorts. The normally sober-minded fest has gone pop this year, booking a slate bubbling with hyperactive rom-coms and sci-fi extravaganzas, but there is also a sidebar of films responding to the Fukushima nuclear disaster, as well as a tribute to the expressively stone-faced actor Koji Yakusho, who will appear in-person for the screening of The Woodsman and the Rain (2011).
Ring around J-Horror
Posted by David Kalat on July 7, 2012
J-Horror don't get no respect. The long-haired ghosts have become a cliché to be ridiculed, and the tragedy of it is that the audiences perhaps best attuned to appreciate what J-Horror had to offer in its heyday are those least inclined to give it a chance. I know—I speak from experience. My love affair with J-Horror began, as all the best movie love affairs do, with opposition.
The Hazy Lives of Nobuhiro Yamashita
Posted by R. Emmet Sweeney on June 19, 2012
The characters in a Nobuhiro Yamashita film do a lot of standing around. They are waiting for something, whether it be a friend, a bus, or simply for the day to end. Yamashita's films are about killing time, in the hope that the following morning will contain less of it. But each day seems to grow longer, and these young men and women continue to stand, until they have forgotten what they were waiting for in the first place. These are films attuned to the rhythms of in-between moments , reveling in their awkward absurdity and percolating anxiousness. Yamashita's films are frequently hilarious but of a kind that sticks in the throat, as life sails by his weightless, indecisive characters. Operating in near-anonymity out of Japan, with little festival or international distribution, Yamashita has forged a consistently funny and bittersweet body of work that is deserving of a vastly wider audience.

No, I'm not talking about my dad, although he is getting close (just kidding – Happy Father's Day, ol' man!), I'm talking about Japan's oldest movie studio whose simple motto is "We Make Fun Films." Nikkatsu Corporation has been around since 1912 and is very much still alive and kicking. This is cause for a centenary celebration that is on tour with the help of the Japan Foundation and various regional groups. I was recently approached by the Consulate-General of Japan at Denver with a list of 11 Nikkatsu titles to choose from. Some are quite rare, all are on film, and the question for me is: which four of these should I choose? [...MORE]
Remaking Ichikawa
Posted by David Kalat on March 31, 2012
Agatha Christie aficionados and detective fiction fans take note: Behind the deceptively bland title The Inugami Family lies a superb pulp mystery of the highest order–a cinematic classic that won awards, influenced a generation, and remains as thrilling today as when it was made. Those of you who are inspired by this blog to rush out and track down an import DVD of this gem for yourself will discover that in fact, two movies with the exact same title, the same cast and makers, and pretty much the same running time and content exist. Which makes telling the two apart a rather challenging task, to the newbie. As with Detour recently, we are here to discuss a slavishly literal remake, only this time it's a remake, thirty years to the day later, from the same director. And therein lies our tale…
Kiyoshi Kurosawa is the Cure
Posted by David Kalat on March 24, 2012
One day, Japanese pulp cinema auteur Kiyoshi Kurosawa was watching TV. A killer had been apprehended, and the TV newscasters mobbed the perp's neighbors to ask all the familiar questions: what was he like? Did he act unusual? Did you ever suspect you were living next door to a monster? And the answers to these inevitable questions are inevitably frustrating: he was just a nice, quiet man who never aroused any suspicions. He must have been a monster disguised as a man.
People want to be able to explain away crime as something aberrant. The press tries to meet this need, to package the reporting of crime in ways that pit us versus them. But Kurosawa, a cynical man who studied sociology before becoming a moviemaker, recognized these impulses as delusional. The killer, his neighbors, his victims, the detectives who caught him, and the reporters who covered the tale are all made of the same stuff. Kurosawa saw the disquieting truth: anyone can be a monster. Even you.
This was in the mid 1990s, a period when the world's cinemas were clogged with serial killer dramas all hoping to be the next Silence of the Lambs, or Se7en. That, or at least hitch a short ride on their coattails. Most remained just that—wanna bes, never weres, nots. This is the story of the film that did become the Next Big Thing, and along with Hideo Nakata's 1998 Ring invented J-Horror.

CBT's Warriors Three Cast: Lex Luthor
With all this talk of Bryan Cranston being cast as Lex Luthor in the upcoming Man of Steel sequel (which is totally not true), Comic Book Therapy's Warriors Three decided to tackle the casting in our latest efforts of pretending like our opinions matter. We still don't know for sure that Superman's most famous foe will even play a role in the film, but we're thinking it's a fairly safe bet, even if it's not in a fully villainous capacity.
You don't have to be a big fan of comic books to know that the Lex Luthor character takes a certain actor to execute it properly. In the original series, we saw the ever intriguing Gene Hackman tackle the role and for that series, his more comedic approach was fitting. Fast forward to 2006 and Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey took on the challenge. His take was a much more menacing version, but still left something to be desired. So where do we go from here? So far, we know that Henry Cavill will be reprising his role as Superman and Ben Affleck will don the cape and cowl to play a more seasoned Batman. Should they bring Luthor in, it will be interesting to see the direction they take: older, more established versus a younger, more brash businessman? Will he play a more physical threat or stick with the more intellectual bad ass? Hopefully we'll find out sooner rather than later. In the mean time, here's our take on who should be cast in the iconic role.
CODY: My first choice for Lex Luthor would have to be Ralph Fiennes. Ben Affleck casting has proven that anything is possible when it comes to the new DC Cinematic Universe. Fiennes is a fine actor, I think we can all agree on that. He has a presence on screen that just demands your attention. He can play baddies really well too. He can go from charming and calm to a menacing presence with the flick of a switch. That's Lex Luthor. Fiennes is a little older than Cavill and Affleck at 50, but I think that's what (insert whatever the Man of Steel sequel title will be here) needs. I think a Lex Luthor that didn't have to be THE Lex Luthor until the battle of Metropolis is a fascinating idea. He's always been the big shot business man, but when Superman arrived, he realized he wasn't as great as he thought he was. That flips the switch and sets him on the "Lex" course. I think Fiennes could do that very well.
JAKE: I like Fiennes as an actor; however he just looks a little old to me for the part. A lot of the actors that we have chosen are older actors, but Feinnes just seems to really show his age. Lex has always been older than Clark, but not more than by 10 years. I realize that they won't follow the comics to a T, but I would like to see someone younger looking. I wouldn't hate it if he got it though.
JOSH: Fiennes is one of those actors where I'd watch him in anything, he's that damn good. Cast him as Wonder Woman and I'd watch. I agree with Jake in that he may be a bit older than what they are looking for, but I still think he's a solid choice. He's got the villain thing down to a T; he was out-right scary at times while playing Voldamort in the Harry Potter films and his more silent but mad approach to his villainous role in Schindler's List is incredible. I wouldn't complain if he landed the role.
JAKE: Stay with me on this, but my #1 choice for Lex Luthor is Christian Bale. However, due to him just coming out of The Dark Knight franchise I highly doubt that he will be willing to come aboard to another superhero adaptation that would require him to sign on for multiple movies. Bale has a great on screen charisma that Lex needs to have, but also has that crazy streak in him that comes out every so often on movie sets. I think he would be able to find that right balance of charismatic and crazy.
JOSH: Right off the bat, I'd say it's too soon for Bale to take on yet another iconic comic book role. Having said that, he'd own the hell out of it. If he were to channel just a small part of the crazy he had in American Psycho (emphasize "small part"), he'd be great in the role. But I think there is just too much association to Batman and for him to show up as Lex would blow the minds of movie-goers.
CODY: I think Bale would be a good choice IF it wasn't so soon after The Dark Knight Rises. You see him as Lex and you're just waiting for him to turn to the camera and wink when he says something about Batman. Get him back in a comic book movie role for sure, but let a few more years pass.
JOSH: My first choice is none other than Kiefer Sutherland. Odd, right? But let's look at this for a minute. Remember the movie Phone Booth from 2002? The intriguing premise of the film aside, one of the best parts of that movie was Kiefer Sutherland. Yeah, you never see his face, but the voice! Oh, that voice! He was sinister, dark, threatening and powerful, all traits we need in Lex. He's an actor with proven skill and a big enough name to be a draw for the box office. He's spent so much time being a hero on 24, I think it's time he jumps back over to the dark side.
CODY: This isn't a bad choice, it just doesn't excite me in any way. He's a good actor but I've just never been a big Kiefer fan. His dad is great though. I'm just rambling on now. I can't really critique this one other than "eh."
JAKE: I love this choice! Would have went with it myself, but Josh is the one that brought it up. Sutherland is a great actor, and even when he is the good guy, such as in 24, he has this hint of being a total ass which is what I see in Lex. He is just a guy that has good intentions he is just goes about them in the totally wrong way. Josh is right, Kiefer has been a hero for far too long, and needs to reinvent himself with by stepping out of the hero mold for a bit for and do a villain.
My #2 choice, I'll go with Viggo Mortensen. Mortensen was rumored to be up for the role of Zod in Man Of Steel, a role that ultimately went to Michael Shannon. However, I really think that he is more well suited for a role such as Luthor. While he can look like heroic type, he also has this sinister look to him that just sends chills down your spine. One of those I trust him, but I know I shouldn't, and to me that exactly what they need. It also doesn't hurt that he is an extremely talented actor as well.
CODY: I can't really fault this pick. I don't see him as Luthor physically myself, but I can see him bringing the role what it needs. I think there are better choices out there but I wouldn't be mad if he got it. So what I'm saying is I agree, but I don't think he's one of the top actors right for it.
JOSH: Like Ralph Fiennes, I'd watch Viggo in any film. I love his approach to film, the way he immerses himself into every role he takes on and I think that would take his version of Lex to a level we've never seen before. Like Cody said, I think there are more fitting actors, but I'd certainly not argue his casting.
CODY: My more oddball choice for Lex would be Corey Stoll. He's a rising star. He's been in a lot of great movies, TV shows, and plays but hasn't quite exploded just yet. House of Cards is a great display of his range. If you take away all the screw-ups of Rep. Peter Russo and tweak it just a hair or two, you could get a pretty good Lex. Stoll looks good bald, and can be quite menacing and serious. It's more of a left-field choice, but I think it could work. It would be something different and fresh. You go "Oh, BEN AFFLECK is Batman and that guy from that other thing is Lex." He doesn't have any baggage coming in. He can completely take over and own the role without people talking about a past role or about him being 'too big a name' for Lex.
JAKE: I've been pretty familiar with most of these people, however Stoll I am not. He has the look I'll give him that. Reminds me a little bit of Cavill, I wasn't exposed too much to him, but I have heard really good things. I wouldn't completely jump ship on the casting if he got it, but I really wouldn't be excited either. I would just be in wait and see mode, and hope that he would surprise me like Cavill did.
JOSH: Corey Stoll is a huge up-and-comer and will certainly go places. He's done well with House of Cards and think he'll get even more exposure once people see him in Guillermo Del Toro's series The Strain in a few months. I worry he's not quite known enough YET to take on the role. But that could play to his advantage.
My second option is Henry Rollins. Now, hear me out on this one. I was quite surprised at how good of an actor Rollins is. I got to witness this skill with his appearance on the hit series Sons of Anarchy, where he played a rather menacing baddy who was relentless in his goals. Again, a trait that is very prevalent in nearly all iterations of Luthor. He can portray both intelligence and brute strength without giving in on either front. He's no stranger to the DC world either, as he has done voice-over work in several animated series and film, most recently Green Lantern: Emerald Knights as Kilowog. This just may be my most out-of-left-field choice to date, but I think this one could work.
JAKE: No, no, and no. I just cannot stand Henry Rollins really in anything he does. I may be the minority in that, but he just gets under my skin. Lex is a bad guy you almost root for, because most of the time his heart is in the right place, he just makes the complete wrong decision when it comes to getting the result. There is nothing about Rollins that makes me want to root for him, and maybe that is the type of Lex they will go for. But for me Rollins is a miss.
CODY: He is a good actor. He's an incredibly intelligent person in real life as well. Watch some of his interviews and when he had his own show as well. I think the only problem with this pick is that you want someone you think won't ACTUALLY kill Superman, Batman, insert other hero he's facing off with for whatever story here. You want to know that Luthor is menacing and vicious, but Superman will win. If Rollins is Lex, then I'm pretty sure Superman is screwed. I don't think he's a guy that can tone it down. So basically it's a great choice, but Rollins is TOO MUCH of a badass to do it.
Yeah, that's a pretty wide range of actors listed there and every single one of them would bring a new and different version of Lex Luthor to the big screen. Again, we don't know if Luthor will be making an appearance in the upcoming sequel, but I think it's a pretty safe bet. I actually really like the idea that Coy had, where Superman's arrival is the catalyst that sends Lex over the edge to become the villain we all know. It's in intriguing idea for sure. Filming is expected to begin in the first half of 2014, so I think we can expect to start hearing more news on new characters, cat additions and story in the coming months.
