What I know about a New Jersey Legislature or a Virginia General Assembly is, you're either for the people stuck on the bridge or against those seeking Constitutional equality, and only those gridlocked in our historical inequality, fear the dignity discovered in debate between equals.
What I know about The Virginia General Assembly and the Equal Rights Amendment is, non-attorney Delegate Mark L. Cole, claims the Va GA cannot legally consider the Equal Rights Amendment, after the Virginia Senate passed it with the support of several attorneys including Senators Henry Marsh and Creigh Deeds.
What I know about theatre and politics is, while they often co-mingle, auditions offer equal opportunity for a role, while politics still tips the land of opportunity in favor of men making more money than women for doing the same job.
What I know is, The Equal Rights Amendment is an economic equality debt we failed to pay our grandmothers and their grandmothers, that is now due to our mothers, wives and daughters.
What I know about those who've claimed to be a superior race is, sooner or later history grinds them down into humility, even sometimes producing an all-inclusive pearl of acceptance in their place.
What I know about The Hill and Amendments is, the failure of a McConnell and Boehner 113th Congress to pass SJ Res15 and HJ Res 43 to remove the deadline for ERA ratification, so smells of a plague on both your Houses, that in 2014 voters just might elect a new Congress that will work together for the equality of all Americans, because…
…What I know about The Golden Rule and America is, until income reflects equality of opportunity regardless of gender, race, age, party affiliation or sexual persuasion, we haven't earned the gold medal for brother/sister equality, nor are we American in our skin.
What we should all know about West Virginia water and Corporatism is, the air we breathe, and all our drinking & washing water are connected to all the air and water on earth — and it is your pregnant wife, children and grandmothers who are first sacrificed on the altar of coal, oil, CEO bonuses, corporate greed and government corruption.
What I know about you and the women in your life is, whether by corporations, EPA, NSA; in Military, University, Peace Corp; or with an inequitable salary check, men raping women isn't about sex. It's about power, control and intimidation and informed women who now know how much they matter, are not going to take it anymore.

Dr. Rajiv Shah serves as the 16th Administrator of USAID and leads the efforts of more than 9,600 professionals in 80 missions around the world.
Since being sworn in on Dec. 31, 2009, Shah managed the U.S. Government's response to the devastating 2010 earthquake in Port-au-Prince, Haiti; co-chaired the State Department's first review of American diplomacy and development operations; and now spearheads President Barack Obama's landmark Feed the Future food security initiative. He is also leading "USAID Forward," an extensive set of reforms to USAID's business model focusing on seven key areas, including procurement, science & technology, and monitoring & evaluation.
Before becoming USAID's Administrator, Shah served as undersecretary for research, education and economics, and as chief scientist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. At USDA, he launched the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, which significantly elevated the status and funding of agricultural research.
Prior to joining the Obama administration, Shah served for seven years with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, including as director of agricultural development in the Global Development Program, and as director of strategic opportunities.
Originally from Detroit, Shah earned his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania Medical School and his master's in health economics from the Wharton School of Business. He attended the London School of Economics and is a graduate of the University of Michigan.
Shah is married to Shivam Mallick Shah and is the father of three children. He lives in Washington, D.C.
USAID has been partnering with the Philippines for more than 50 years and is committed to supporting the country's efforts to emerge from Typhoon Haiyan stronger than ever and remain a vital economic and political partner for the United States. We are at a critical place in our response efforts where we have pivoted from providing immediate relief to building long-term recovery. We are forging partnerships with the people and Government of the Philippines, the private sector, NGOs, faith-based communities and the diaspora to together help rebuild lives and livelihoods throughout the Philippines.
Es un gran placer para mí estar aquí con todos Ustedes esta noche.
El gobierno de los Estados Unidos ha apoyado este premio por varios años. Estoy muy contento de que Semillas para la Democracia continúe con esta loable iniciativa, con el apoyo del sector privado y de organizaciones de la sociedad civil. Este es un gran ejemplo de cómo los paraguayos pueden trabajar juntos para mejorar el sistema de justicia.
Designated VIPs
We are here today to help address the fact that almost 1 billion people across the globe go to bed hungry every night. To meet the needs of a world population expected to reach 9 billion by 2050, agricultural production will need to increase by at least 60 percent.
There is a strong consensus that agriculture plays a crucial role in any effort to reduce global poverty and hunger. Studies suggest that every one percent increase in agricultural income per capita reduces the number of people living in extreme poverty by between 0.6 and 1.8 percent.
Thirty years ago, the official development community was almost exclusively composed of international organizations like the World Bank and government agencies like USAID. But today, we live in a very different world.
Private investment in emerging economies has grown to dwarf official development assistance. And new technologies—perhaps most notably the mobile phone—have transformed the lives of billions of people in the farthest corners of the globe. In the last 15 years, the development community has dramatically expanded. It now includes innovators at universities—who have designed microscopes that attach to iPhones to diagnose malaria and solar-powered micro-grids to give children a light to read by at night. It includes philanthropists like Bill Gates and Mo Ibrahim, who have studied these issues deeply and can bring their private sector expertise to bear on solving challenges. And it includes banks and companies like Citi, Dupont, and Cargill who are increasingly seeking high risk, high return investments in some of the toughest parts of our world.
Taken together, these extraordinary new trends—the emergence of new technologies and the growth of our community—have transformed what's possible to achieve in development.
It is an honor for me to represent USAID/Vietnam to be here today at the Ceremony of International Day of Persons with Disabilities with the theme of: "Break Barriers, Open Doors: for an inclusive society and development for all".
Since the dawn of humanity, extreme poverty has crowded at the heels of progress—stifling hopes and undermining growth across the centuries. Today, we stand within reach of a world that was simply once unimaginable: a world without extreme poverty.
In the United States, with a dollar-and-a-quarter in your pocket, you can buy a bottle of water or a pack of gum. But for 1.2 billion people around the world, this is all they live on every day. No matter how much you adjust for the relative price of local commodities, a dollar-and-a-quarter is a desperately meager sum—and with it families must make daily choices among food, medicine, housing, and education. Every decision is a trade-off with potentially catastrophic consequences. Do you buy medicines for a sick parent, provide an evening meal for your children, or put a few pennies away towards a new roof or next year's school fees?
This is what we call extreme poverty.
The race to the skies helped build a constellation of satellites that provided the data we used last week to help move hundreds of thousands of people out of harm's way in the Philippines, and the invention of the computer chip and ARPANET, fundamentally a public/private enterprise, helped create a flourishing valley of entrepreneurs throughout our country but in particular in Silicon Valley, that have demonstrated to the world that it's possible to envision an entirely different future, profit from it, and also make sure that it reaches the farthest corners of the globe quickly. But today, our innovation economy must expand and change even more rapidly to an important, emerging new trend, and that trend is that the middle class around us is changing dramatically.
For centuries, less than 1 percent of the world's population enjoyed the privilege of a little bit of extra money in their pocket. By 1990, the global middle class numbered 1.8 billion people, but still mostly living in North America, Europe, and Japan. Over the last two decades, growth in emerging economies has turned billions of people into producers and consumers—creating both opportunity and challenges for the United States.
In a recent speech at Duke University, USAID Administrator Raj Shah told an audience that to provide food security for the 860 million people who go to bed hungry every night and to set communities on a path from dependency to resilience, we need new solutions and that means, quote, "not only working with long-standing research partners like Kansas State and Virginia Tech to develop new drought-tolerant seeds, but also harnessing the private sector to scale them."
In this short quote, Administrator Shah encapsulates two important ideas – and these ideas are the backdrop for my remarks today – our relationship with institutions of higher education is long-standing, special and has been, and will continue to be, critical to global development. But also, times are changing, the challenges are enormous, and the ever-expanding constellation of actors mandates that we approach our partnership differently.

Top 10 Issues for Insurance M&A in 2013
Time for mergers and acquisitions to take off?
Will 2013 be the year that insurance industry mergers and acquisitions (M&A) take off again after a prolonged period of stagnation? A flurry of activity by insurance companies to rebuild internal M&A capabilities may herald an uptick in M&A during 2013 as organizations seek to expand market share, distribution capabilities, product/service offerings, and economies of scale in the face of limited organic growth opportunities.
The current environment seems more conducive to accelerating M&A activity than a year ago: organic growth opportunities appear limited; insurance companies and PE firms are holding large amounts of excess capital that need to be deployed; and the stock market is doing well overall, which generates confidence. Also, Congress' agreement to avoid the immediate impacts of the so-called "fiscal cliff" and continued improvements in the U.S. economy might encourage companies that have been holding back on M&A to pull the trigger. As a result, the industry could see activity of significance that it hasn't for the past several years.
Top 10 issues for insurance M&A in 2013: Time for mergers and acquisitions to take off?
We invite you to take an in-depth look at the issues insurance companies across many market segments should consider. Select an issue from the drop-down list below and hit "Go."
The overall market appears ripe for accelerated insurance industry M&A in 2013. Companies should prepare by affirming the role M&A can play in their overall growth strategy, strengthening their internal M&A capabilities and staff, conducting scenario planning, and becoming more active in proactive targeting and selection.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Cas601 Too Cute! This is such a cute handbag. I ordered this in black for my daughter and she loved it. The hardware and strap have a very classy look. She is 5'5" and it fit on her hip perfectly. The only thing that could make this purse better is having a larger size. It will only fit a small wallet and a few extras. If you have a regular wallet or a sunglass case it won't work. January 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mander New favorite! Great cross body bag perfect size for shopping or travel. Love the three different colors which goes with everything. January 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LJK721 Beautiful purse, perfect size, and great quality I absolutely love this purse and I was so excited when it came in . This is perfect for going out and it is very roomy inside and I can fit plenty in it. I got this purse in the color block look and it is definitely a must have. The colors are beautiful and I've never seen a purse like this before. It is very unique and I love the new gold Tory symbol on the front. This is the best purse I own by far and can't wait to use it. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. January 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by rabbss Super cute! It's adorable cross body, I've in grey/brown. There are two things I think you should know before getting it though. - I'm 5'7 and it barely got to my hips, which means if you are taller than me, this might not work for you. - Sunglasses case doesn't fit in, as opening is tight but plenty of space in bottom. I'm talking about hard case though, as most sunglasses comes with huge cases but mine wasn't that big. You might just need sunglasses sleeve work for you. Still love this, definitely recommend it. Excellent quality of leather. January 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by daisymae A perfect bag I purchased the more neutral shades ( tan, beige and black) which literally goes with everything. It is roomy enough for a small wallet, a cell phone and some lipstick.The gold chain is very chic, already have had numerous compliments. January 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by KEMcA Great looking but... I love the look and feel of this little bag but it's a bit too small to fit everything I need into. Particularly my sunglasses. Still, for a walk to town I can throw my lipstick, credit cards, cash, and cell phone into it and wander about without the burden of the weight of a larger bag on my shoulder/ January 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by shopgirl Great mini nag Love the pebbled texture and chain link strap. I like that I can use it as a casual mini bag to take with me to NYC, or to be used for a dressier occasion such as a cocktail party. The chain link strap gives it that classier edge. I wish the bag was just a tad bigger, but it's great bag to throw an iPhone/credit cards, and lipstick in there. The T logo is great too! January 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Riz1106 Beautiful Beautiful crossbody! Very roomy as well. Love the multi cement color for everyday wear as well as a night out. Very happy I purchased this bag! Plus shipping to Canada was free which I hope Tory Burch would continue. January 12, 2014

Between the hundreds of HD channels and all the On Demand content, there is always something to watch.

TV Use in Saint Vincent, MN
If you thirst for cable TV knowledge, we can help. CableTV.com has cold-filtered cable data on tap and ready for consumption. Try this (it's on the house): almost everyone, or 97% of Americans, watches television as it is aired and roughly 33% of those TV viewers have at least four televisions in their homes. Upwards of 50% of people also stream video content online. Among those with cable TV, almost three-fourths bundle their service with high-speed Internet. Cable's ubiquitous national presence also helps explain how DVRs account for about 7% of America's total TV viewing.
All those stats mean that if you don't own at least one TV for every room in your house, chances are your neighbor to the left or right of you does. It also means that almost everyone you meet today will watch a TV tonight, and 57% of them will use either their DVR or their Internet to do so.
About Saint Vincent Cable Internet
Cable providers have so much more to offer than TV. That is why so many Saint Vincent residents bundle cable services. Cable Internet is faster than most DSL services, providing downstream speeds 25%-100% faster than the national average. People who choose cable bundles also save money, roughly $400 every year they bundle TV and Internet. Both are very good explanations why cable Internet subscribers represent 32% of households, and how broadband penetration in Minnesota grew to 71% by 2010.

Personal responsibility is the willingness to accept both the benefits and consequences of our actions. It was once a major part of individual ethics. It seems to have fallen into disrepute.
When we do something or when something occurs because we didn't do anything, the current trend is to look for someone else to blame. It is a matter of creative fault-finding.
It begins in early childhood with "The dog ate my homework." It escalates to "Everyone does it," to "The devil made me do it." Then it easily becomes the fault of the government, the unfairness of life, or — my personal favorite — the fault of parents.
While my father had to work to pay the bills and provide for his family, he should have stayed home and spent all his time nurturing me. I would have turned out better.
Don't muddy the ethical water by asserting that long held tenant that most screw ups happen because we don't consider the after-effects before we act. Even if we do consider the consequences, we believe that someone else will own them.
We can always find a good reason not to admit our limits.
This is seen in the wholesale use of cell phones while driving. The law should be for other people who are not as good at multitasking as we are. Besides, as important people, we need to answer every call or text that comes in, no matter what the traffic around us might be like.
While every delinquent child has at least one lousy parent to blame, there may come a time when we adults — as orphans — will need to be more imaginative to shirk accountability. We will find a way.
We have even devised a plan to get crazy people off the hook. If we do something wrong when out of our minds, we plead not guilty by reason of insanity. Closer to the truth is that we may have been guilty by reason of insanity. The way we describe it means that even if it was our fault, it is not our fault after all.
Last year, the sheriff who pulled my wife and I over near Siskiyou Summit asked me if I had seen the speed limit sign. I had not. I was sure that either it did not exist or had been blocked by a truck.
Besides, everyone goes faster than the posted limit. This bust was made in a blatant speed trap. We knew that law enforcement was only there to help Jackson County balance its budget.
It could not be that I was in a big hurry and had allowed my inattention to make the car exceed both the speed limit and reason. Then again, if there was any error, it was due to the weather or the phase of the moon.
Looking back, having paid the fine, I realize that I was only driving like my father used to. He was speeding then.

You like to race, but it's not like anyone can keep up with you. By the time they gather themselves, you've already sped off, leaving only a skid mark in your wake. Slow down? Nah, that's for chumps who can't handle the speed. You'll always be a speed demon — throw on the Skidmark flex cap from Fox and tell the world to get used to it. This chill hat features a small rubber Foxhead logo on the crown and an offset "Fox" brand embroidery on the back. It's good that there's a sweet graphic on the back of this hat, because that's all that anyone's ever going to see of you during a race.

Date: October 18-19
Weather: Cold and Sunny (high 30s during the day, high 20s during the night)
Our trip started on Friday night after we rocked out to the Black Crowes concert in Boston and set up camp at Hancock Campground on the Kancamagus Highway. We got there at 1:30am, hitched up the Eureka, tossed in the rollpads and cold-weather bags and crashed out.
We woke up to a very cold and frosty Saturday morning. Good thing Jeff had the excellent idea to store some McDonald's coffees in the pump-pot so we'd have hot drinks while we packed up.
We met Jimmy Legs and Little D (hi again - great TR!!!) while gearing up at the trailhead, we poured our last cup of hot coffee for the morning and got started on the Hancock Notch trail at about 8:30am. The first 2.5 miles of the trip were relatively flat. There were a few stream crossings, but the water was low and the muddy parts were frozen so our boots stayed pretty clean.
When we got to the Hancock Loop Trail, we set up camp and switched to day packs. The site was great, Jeff put up the new tent and I collected some wood. It looked very cozy when we left and I was looking forward to relaxing by the fire later.
We started up the Hancock Loop Trail (more like Hancock Lollipop Trail) around noon and chose to summit the North Hancock first. This .7 miles was fairly steep, and the top of the trail became very loose. I called for the sherpas but they never came. The top offered us a perfect lunch spot, complete with big boulders and great views. I wish I had known at the time that we were looking right at the 5 peaks we had done a month earlier. Pretty awesome!
After feeding ourselves and the resident birds, we traversed between the peaks to the summit of the South Hancock. This part of the trail was easy, very muddy in parts, and very cold. The wind was bitter on the south facing side of the trail. The summit of South Hancock was unspectacular so we just took a picture and hiked back to camp. The descent of this peak was also very steep and loose in parts, but we made it to our base around 4:30.
Here we enjoyed a very warm fire, some Grey Goose orange, Beef Stroganoff and Chicken and Rice. It was a really fun time and we called it around 7:38pm.
We woke up to yet another cold morning - ice on the tent poles and VERY cold boots!! 30 degrees!
Jeff made us some piping hot coffee while we packed up the site, and then another cup of piping hot hot chocolate with marshmallows. It really hit the spot and got us ready for our simple trek back to the car. The 2.5 mile walk back took us an easy 1:10 and we were on the road at 9:45am.
Again, it was another awesome trip. I'm really happy that my interest has re-awakened Jeff's love of backpacking and the outdoors. He's already started planning our next one and we're looking forward to getting back up to the Whites very soon!!

I traded for this bow a few weeks back. Shot it a bit and just prefer another. Installed a brand new Trophy Taker Smackdown rest and New BowJax short stabilizer. It's pretty darn cool in Bone Camo. There is a small mark on the string stop pictured. I have a lot of feedback over on AT and Ebay or if you just want to talk person to person PM me and I will give you a call. Figured this might be the best place to put it up first though. This particular bow has the Barnsdale limbs on it
I am looking for $350 TYD Priority insured. Bare Bow would be $300.
Thanks for looking

Phishing Scam Defense
Phishing scams are some of the most devious types of cyber crimes online. They prey upon people who do not understand the inner workings of these organizations. These people are pros at convincing others that they can be trusted. Some of them even use company logos which mimic real websites. For example, there was a phishing scam in recent years which posed as an official eBay email. It requested a username and password, and after you submitted it, the criminals used that information for illegal dealings. Whenever something like this takes place, you must seek the advice of a industry leader SoCalInternetLawyer.com.
Internet attorneys serve many roles during the prosecution process for phishing scams. They organize evidence so that a favorable outcome can be reached in a court of law. The prosecution of these perpetrators is essential to stopping the behavior as well. The higher the fines that the criminals have to pay, the less likely they will be to try the scam in the future. These criminals use phishing scams because it is a way to make easy money. They could care less about the people that they are hurting in the process.
One of the great things about internet attorneys, is that they educate people during their term of service. They provide legal advice to to the client, and they direct them on ways to avoid getting in the situation int he first place. The elderly are especially susceptible to these scams. This is not due to a lack of intelligence, it simply has to do with a generation gap for people who are unsure of who to trust online. If you ever get a questionable email, never answer it, and delete immediately. This is certainly true for emails that request personal information.
Businesses that fall prey to phishing scams often lose tons of money. This criminal activity actually gets its name from the methods it uses to obtain information. it sends a message out which looks like a company email, and those who answer it often lose their money. IT professionals do what they can to prevent such actions through increased security measures. However, they are not always successful at preventing them. Quality internet attorneys work to make examples of people who think that they can simply get away with this type of crime. Hefty fines, combined with lengthy prison terms, often deter them from trying it again.
Perhaps the most important job of an internet attorney, is to recoup lost funds. This is critical for the survival of a business, and it must be done as quickly as possible. Many companies sue for additional damages, in addition to the monetary losses they experienced during the scam itself. Internet attorneys do what it takes to protect online businesses.

15 Fresh & Bright Desserts for Spring
Recipes from The Kitchn
Spring is definitely in the air, and it's right about now that the idea of entertaining starts to have appeal again. After all, we need to remind each other what we look like without scarves covering our faces. The first get-together of spring needs a special dessert to mark the occasion, don't you think? A fluffy cake or a parfait with billowy whipped cream, something with crunchy nuts and topped with a drizzle of honey. Here are 15 recipes that we think will do the job admirably.
Light and fresh is the name of the game when it comes to perfect springtime desserts. Citrus is still bountiful, making us crave desserts like Lemon Yogurt Icebox Cake and a simple Blood Orange Crostata. And it doesn't get much better than crunchy meringue pavlovas topped with a citrus fruit salad or early summer strawberries. This said, a slice of good old-fashioned carrot cake sure does sound good! The recipe below is one of our favorites.
The hint of green in the trees and longer daylight hours are enough reason to think about throwing a party right now, but we also have Passover starting tonight and Easter coming up next weekend. Whatever your reason for celebrating, there's sure to be a recipe or two in this bunch that will have your guests begging for seconds.
- 1 Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
- 2 How to Make a Light, Airy Pavlova
- 3 Lemon Yogurt Icebox Tart
- 4 Blood Orange Parfait
- 5 Honey Lavender Panna Cotta
Sticky Orange Cake with Marmalade Glaze
- 6 Meyer Lemon Shaker Pie
- 7 Sticky Orange Cake with Marmalade Frosting
- 8 Kumquat Tarts with Almond-Date Crust
- 9 Blood Orange Crostatas
- 10 Fresh Coconut Mousse Cake
- 11 Airy Angel Food Cupcakes with Naturally Pink Icing
- 12 Creamy, Tangy Lemon Ice Cream
- 13 Big Pink Rhubarb Cake
- 14 Fresh Grape Cake with Luscious Lemon Sauce
- 15 Lemon Yogurt Cake with Orange-Thyme Syrup

What was the tart pictured in the email update sent linking to this entry? It was a custardy tart with a few kumquat slices strewn across the middle - it looked good, and does not seem to be pictured here?
Long-time reader
It's the lemon yogurt icebox tart. Top row middle.
Is it the Lemon Yogurt Icebox Tart? #3
These all sound so refreshing! Here are a few of my favorites: Guilt-free Panna Cotta with Pink Peppercorns and Citrus-Glazed Yogurt Cake.
I have been eating marrons glaces...so good...so under rated in america.
I made the blood orange crostatas tonight! Delicious, with the subtle almond flavour in the mascarpone, yum! I used way less water than indicated in the recipe to make the crust - which is delicious by the way - but otherwise great recipe. I'll definitely keep that one!

Dissecting a Sequence From "The Dark Knight"
In the Cut, Part I: Shots in the Dark (Knight) from Jim Emerson on Vimeo.
When the audience is confused and disoriented, they start to use their brains to try and decipher what's going on, rather than to engage with your movie and care about what's happening onscreen. In an action sequence it's particularly important to keep your audience absolutely clear about where all the characters, vehicles and landmarks are in relation to each other. Otherwise, there's no tension or drama.

Hi Mark. I greatly enjoy your blog. However, the sort of breakdown Emerson gets into here is sophistry, I think. The sequence he is referencing is propulsive and exciting. Clearly, based on the success of the film and the high esteem in which the vast majority of viewers hold it (two frequently exclusive things, cf. any Transfomers film!) the audience did not find it too confusing or bewildering. Neither, I imagine, did the fastidious Nolan or his editor Lee Smith. Speaking as an editor myself, I can tell you rules get broken all the time in editorial no matter how carefully a sequence was shot. That carefully staged action sequence that looked great on boards and was shot following every rule in the book will often bore you stiff once it's cut together!
I always find risible these dissections of scenes that "don't work" only when they're dissected or pored over multiple viewings. When you're editing a film you are never, ever, ever building a sequence wondering if it will hold up to the scrutiny of a hundred viewings. Quite the contrary -- your practice is to continually attempt to look at the film as if for the first and only time, every time you view it. Your JOB is to make that first viewing an experience that meets the director's vision of how he wishes to make an audience feel, not to worry about how it will measure up when the fanboys, film nerds and bloggers run it on Blu-ray 30 times.
What I do value are analyses like your own trenchant examination of the flying wing scene in Raiders. What is of much more use to me in a discussion of this scene from TDK is discussing why, despite breaking the rules as it does, was it so effective for just about everyone except Jim Emerson? I haven't read every single review of the film, but I am hard pressed to recall any complaint about this scene amidst the general chorus of critical hosannas which greeted it, or indeed amongst my own circle of cynical and hard-to-please filmmaker friends.
In any case, thanks as ever for your valuable insights (Mr. Emerson's less-valuable ones notwithstanding).
- Michael said...
I'd like to add -- a great example of a film not making a good first impression (in the sense I referred to) in exactly the sense you cite (screen direction, geography, etc) is the truly awful pre-credit sequence in "Quantum of Solace." Two black sedans in a car chase against a largely featureless landscape does not make for a scene where one can easily follow the stakes. When I first saw it in the theater I was utterly baffled, and I am an ardent Bond fan. Sadly, it was not the only horrible staged, confusingly cut sequence in one of the worst Bonds of the series.
- joscha said...
Hey Mark, thanks for the link. That is a real thorough analysis from this sequence. These days I often feel that too many action sequences rely on a frantic editing pace that is just confusing. I think it comes from the last two Bourne films, although I do believe that the popularity of this editing style comes from some misconception.
The films of Paul Greengrass feel very real, at times almost like a documentary. His fast pace of editing is combined with almost confused camera work, at times it is almost like the camera doesn't know what just happened and tries to keep up. (Kirill shooting Bourne near the ending of Supremacy is a good example) my point is that the film might look confused but –at least to me- it is never confusing.
This confused style of filmmaking sits well within a film that looks and feels like a documentary. But when a film gets as big as the Dark Knight (and there are enough other exampes) it feels out of place. An important part what makes those Bourne films so cool it that they feel like independent Euro thrillers made with a modest budget. (something that is not at all the truth)
- Rodney Baker said...
It sure would be nice to get a peak at the storyboards for that sequence... assuming there are any.
While exciting, the sequence just doesn't appear to have been planned very well.
Michael says: "When you're editing a film you are never, ever, ever building a sequence wondering if it will hold up to the scrutiny of a hundred viewings." This then is surely the greater error.
- clarkkers said...
That's a pretty insightful video. I don't anything about film editing, but I did learn something. At first it seems like he was lampooning the film, but he makes some good points.
- Julie said...
I watched the video and there were definitely points I agreed with, but others I was less sure about. In particular, is it sometimes more beneficial to use the comic-book editing over the 3D editing? What I mean is that you cross over the 180º line for the sake of continuing a motion like they did with Harvey Dent when the van got rammed. They have him on the wrong side, but it flows better with the motion than it would if they had him on the proper side?
Maybe it comes down to what works the best within a sequence. I can certainly see cases where editing for the screen might be more useful than editing for space and vice versa. It's a bit of a duality that you're editing shots that are three dimensional in terms of space, but you also have to consider what they're doing on a two dimensional surface. I'd love to hear your thought on this.
- Pete Spence said...
Thanks for posting, I found that quite enlighting.
I remember feeling frustrated and confused in the cinema over what actually happened in that sequence. Its reassuring to see analysis that confirms that it has issues and I'm not just struggling to keep up with the eratic fast editing.
Back on the sofa rewatching the film on dvd my partner and me laughed about the reappearing cop cars. It makes the tunnel part of that sequence suprisingly unsatisfying and almost strung out to teduim.
It's to the Dark Knight's credit that the rest of the films strong elements overshadow this less coherent action.
- mark kennedy said...
Michael - Personally, I believe that one of the keys to a good action sequence is to orient the audience as to the geography, so that when a gun is being fired we know exactly who he is directing the bullets toward, or when a character is looking over his shoulder, we know who he is looking towards, etc. There can be no tension (in my mind) when the audience doesn't know who is in jeopardy.
Also, in my experience, I would say that this is even more important in animation than it is in live-action, because when we watch real actors in real environments we know it's real and we orient ourselves...in animation, the backgrounds and environments are all fake and it quickly gets disorienting and confusing.
I like "The Dark Knight" as a film and when I saw it, this sequence didn't stick out as sloppy to me. But I think this analysis is pretty apt and that the sequence could be more disciplined. And because I believe people should know the rules before they try to break them, this is a good video for people who are new to (or unfamiliar with) cutting and screen direction.
I agree with you that sometimes the most well-plotted sequence with great screen direction can be dull. There are several great sequences in "Raiders of the Lost Ark" that I would recommend to anyone, because the screen direction and screen space are consistent for the most part, and when it's not consistent, there's a good reason and it's cheated the right way.
Thanks for writing and adding to the discussion...I get your point and it's a good one. I don't even remember the scene form "Quantum" you are talking about but that whole film seemed like a mess, if I remember.
joscha - I agree with you about frantic cuts being a substitute for well plotted action. I'm not actually a big fan of the rapid cutting of the second and third Bourne films, although I liked the first quite a bit.
Rodney - you know, it's funny...as we edit together sequences in animation, we end up watching them hundreds of time, of course. I think most live action editors and directors do too. I think Michael makes a good point that a sequence needs to serve the larger film and not every sequence needs to be a course on perfect editing, but I thought this one was particularly sloppy in it's editing. Thanks for the comment!
clarkkers - glad you enjoyed the post1
Julie - there are some great sequences from films that do a great job of being consistent with their screen direction for the most part, and that change the screen direction when they need to to get a certain shot or story point across. The truck chase in "Raiders" is the best example I can think of, off the top of my head...I don't believe in being a slave to perfect screen direction, I believe in sticking to it as much as you can but being free to shift it when it makes for a better movie.
Pete - that's how I feel too: I liked the film overall and I'm surprised that the film actually contains these kind of choices. Like Jim says on the video, I don't get too bothered by continuity errors (like disappearing cop cars) but it still shows a sign of sloppiness and poor planning. But that stuff happens. Frankly, I'm more bothered by choices like all the closeups that happen where you don't have a wider shot first to give context you and orient you as to what is happening to whom.
- She-Thing said...
Hi Mark.
thank you so much for sharing this. This, makes me me much more conscious on how to storytell geographics. I need this for everything I want to draw. Thank you.
The one of the Raider's Ark is also great analysis and I would like to know more. I've been always saying to people, that Spielberg is not THAT amazing because he's constantly using cliché pieces to tell you a story. I have no problem with that, but I want to know WHY everybody says he's a good director. Loads of people use clichés. But they can make a movie come out right. In the Incredibles, or even better, th Iron Giant is based on specific moments in time and moves itself in parody like, even if they're no intentional jokes, like The Simpsons do with "Dr. Zaius" with planet of the Apes, or the surf music used to parody Batman the 60's series. They are quiet documentations but hommage/paroy at the same time. Even so, even if they are cliches, there is some heart in the right moment, in the right scene. i feel that in the "sohisticated" world (ha, I don't like much that word, but anyway) he is just in the first step. He has this need to scream or cry his emotions in a superficial way.
Everyone has a sepcific way to say something. But why, Spielberg who everybody seem to admire, is such a unique person?
Everybody says he's fantastic, I say he's quite superficial to express or to tell something even if he uses such and such technique.
i'd highly appreciate any feedback, because, after all I'm in my 20's, it doesn't mean I know EVERYTHING already. Besos and thank you for reading.
- InuXela said...
Hello! Thank you very much for posting this (sorry for my english).
Maybe a silly question, but can it be possible that the director have tried to use these rule-breaking shots to provide connection between an audience and those charachters, who's being confused by susprise attack, who is not certain yet about what's happening and how will it all end?
Wouldn't it be that the whole scene will look like more "pro-jocker" predator-pray chase if the shots were made in consistent way?
- Adam Temple said...
While Emerson points out some swell points of interest for anyone of the craft, I also feel as though he's slapping it with his experience and not reading it as Michael would suggest. Watching this stuff for the first time in a long time, I am still just fine with the majority of these cuts, and actually applaud some of the devices Emerson completely disregards. I can't claim to a lot of experience in this stuff, but I find myself dissagreeing with Emerson dramatically aswell. He seems not to get what Nolan is going for a lot of the time, which may also be Nolan's fault, yes, but if I can see it, and I'm not justifying work I know intimately, then why can't he? Always interesting to hear it broken down though :) Thanks for posting!
- Holijay said...
Interesting. I suppose he makes some good points but somehow my fairly young eyes are accustom to the chaos.
I am interested in what he would say about tintin, a movie that lacks many cuts and feels extremely lifeless and boring because of it.
