Over the years, Bad Ape repeatedly heard and listened to his human handlers call him "Bad Ape" and as such, over time he began to firmly believe that "Bad Ape" was indeed his name. According to him, he had a child that was taken from him by humans.Was Koba smarter than Caesar? ›
After Caesar refused to agree with his belief that the humans should be wiped out, Koba believed he would be a far better leader then Caesar. Unfortunately, he proved to be a tyrannical leader as well as the fact he was weaker then Caesar; in terms of intelligence, wisdom, strength and leadership.Did Koba survive the fall? ›
Koba is eventually killed by Caesar in the finale, though in the end credits rubble and breathing are heard, suggesting he survived his fall.How many humans survived the Simian flu? ›
However, the numbers given in the opening scene ("1/500") imply a little over 14 million survivors and over 6.5 billion casualties. In War of the Planet of the Apes, the Colonel states the mutated virus would make humanity more animalistic, implying that it decreases intelligence.Can a ape get pregnant? ›
Chimpanzees breed all year round, whenever one of the females in the troop comes into season. Female chimpanzees have menstrual cycles very like humans and come into oestrus every 36 days, unless they are pregnant.Why does Bad Ape wear clothes? ›
The ape society seen in Planet of the Apes (1968) wears clothing, and Bad Ape is also supposed to be the start of a progression in this direction. To survive in a harsh winter, he wears heavy winter coats he scavenged. This is primarily assisted by the fact that he is bald, similarly to Rocket.Why doesn t Maurice talk? ›
Speech: Having inhaled the ALZ-113, like the other evolved apes, Maurice has gained the ability of speech. During Dawn, his only dialogue outside of sign language is one word, "Run" which was warning for Malcolm and his family to flee when Koba took power.Why is Caesar the only one that can talk? ›
Speech: Due to his enhanced intelligence, Caesar had become the first apes in history to speak. In Rise, Caesar was shown to speak loudly his first word to Dodge and whispered to Will too. He later passed this on to his two sons, Blue Eyes and Cornelius. In Dawn, Caesar could speak partial sentences.Who is the most intelligent among apes? ›
Answer and Explanation:
Studies have suggested that the orangutans are the most intelligent of the great apes, surpassing the chimpanzees.
And second is Koba: blind in one eye and impulsive, he is one of Caesar's defenders. Caesar's troop, all of the apes, must journey to the north and west through the forest of redwoods and tallest trees, because they are being pursued throughout the book by persistent assailants with guns and helicopters.
With Caesar dying from a wound that Preacher inflicted on him, he accepts his end with grace and dies peacefully while Maurice promises Caesar that Cornelius will know who his father was, what he stood for and what he did to protect the apes.What type of ape is rocket? ›
Rocket is an altered chimpanzee who was the Alpha at the San Bruno Primate Shelter before and during Caesar's time at the shelter. He was a typical bully until Caesar outsmarted him and took his place as Alpha. Settling their differences aside, the two became the most unlikely of allies.What is a female ape called? ›
There are no distinct names given to males and females of the various ape species. This also applies to many of the monkey species of primates as well.Who was Caesar's ape girlfriend? ›
Cornelia was an evolved chimpanzee, the wife of Caesar and first Queen of the San Francisco Ape Colony. Formerly a fellow inmate of Rocket, Maurice and Buck at the San Bruno Primate Shelter, she met Caesar during his stay there and romantically bonded with him.What type of ape is bad ape? ›
Among the new characters War for the Planet of the Apes is introducing is Bad Ape (played by Steve Zahn), a chimpanzee who's smart like the apes in Caesar's tribe, but has been living on his own.Who is the female ape in Planet of the ape? ›
Ari is a central supporting character in the Planet of the Apes (2001) movie. She is played by Helena Bonham Carter, partner of the movie's director Tim Burton.


Surviving Life (Theory & Practice)
Swimming Lessons with
originally published in MACHETE #18, February 2012
_ Jan Svankmajer’s Surviving Life (Theory and Practice), like his previous film, Lunacy, has the distinct feeling of a late-career summation, in which a self-deprecating professorial tone overtakes any more exploratory impulses. Confidently employing the innovative techniques that he pioneered and has long mastered (a frenetic mixture of live action and stop-motion animation), Svankmajer provides an overview of the themes and influences that have pervaded his 45-year career. Whereas Lunacy took on Edgar Allen Poe and the Marquis de Sade, Surviving Life tackles Freud, Jung and psychoanalysis (the film is subtitled A Psychoanalytic Comedy). Although Svankmajer satirizes psychotherapy and its institutionalized dogmas, his approach to the psychoanalytic is unfashionably complex and earnest. This is not surprising given that Svankmajer remains a committed surrealist, perhaps the last one still drawing breath. Willfully indifferent to current cinematic and cultural trends, Svankmajer’s jarring low-fi surrealism resists providing the familiar slick pleasures of dream-imagery spectacles. In an era when surrealist tropes have long become a mainstay of popular culture, and psychoanalysis has devolved into a tool for insular personal fulfillment (as well an irresistible dramatic device for screenwriters), Svankmajer insists on the power of both as valid means of piercing through the oppressive untruths, both political and personal, that we allow to constitute reality.
Ambiguously set in a de-beautified Prague where details of communist and post-communist life anachronistically mingle, the film’s plot revolves around Eugene, an office clerk in late middle age who falls in love with a beautiful, mysterious woman who keeps appearing in his dreams. Neglecting his drab wife and job, Eugene becomes obsessed with his dreams. He goes to a psychiatrist, who analyzes him according to comically orthodox psychoanalytic theory as feuding portraits of Freud and Jung react on the wall behind them. However, he’s outraged when he realizes the doctor only wants to figure out his dreams in order to cure him of them. Eugene wants the opposite: he wants to figure out how to keep the dreams going. He starts to supplement the therapy with occult methods when he discovers a rare book on dream induction. After being fired for reading the book at work, he rents a cluttered shack and spends his days on a cot, drugged on sleeping pills, exploring his obsessive dream world.
In contrast to contemporary film culture, in which money is a benign enabler and the unspoken raison d’être, money explicitly haunts Svankmajer’s film as an obstacle and an imposition. In a coy prologue, Svankmajer addresses the audience directly as a paper-cut-out animation, introducing us to the film’s style. He tells us the film was supposed to be live action but they couldn’t raise enough cash so they decided to use animated photographs to save money on actors (“Photographs don’t eat”). He then quotes Georg Lichtenberg: “Only the fusion of dream and reality can make up the complete human life,” adding, “Sadly our civilization has no time for dreams, there’s no money in them.” An upcoming lottery jackpot, which Eugene’s wife is desperate to win, looms over his waking and dreaming life (in his dreams he buys lottery tickets at the box office of movie theatre named World Cinema). While money is little more than a mundane burden for Eugene before his dream obsession, it takes on near-magical qualities when he starts using it to pursue his dream life. When he pays the inflated price for the occult book, he finds the face of his dream woman on his bills. The bookshop owner is impressed with the unusual money and buys it from him for double its worth. Money becomes both meaningful and self-generating once Eugene invests it with the power of his dream life. Here, Svankmajer succinctly illustrates money’s status as an empty signifier dependent on psychic projection: money functions in reality only when it is imbued with the ‘unreal’ powers of fantasy – in other words, only when it is fetishized. (Incidentally, this is more or less the reverse of the logic governing Christopher Nolan’s recent big-budget dream film Inception, in which the investigation of dreams can only be conceived when monetized.)
By the end of the film, which features Svankmajer’s richest narrative to date, Eugene succeeds in discovering the basic meaning of his dream – he uncovers a secret from his childhood (his mother’s suicide) and realizes the woman in his dreams is a stand-in for his mother (though even his psychiatrist admits that it’s more complex than the usual Oedipal cases). While this is the source of some satisfaction, it resolves nothing for Eugene. When his wife forces him to choose between her and his dreams, he returns to his cluttered shack. However, Svankmajer subversively follows the rules of comedy to live up to his subtitle: order is restored and the lovers are united, but only in the twisted dream world. In the remarkable final scene, Eugene dreams himself into an infantile state and discovers his mother/dream woman in a bathtub full of bloodstained water, her wrists slit. Awaking from the dead, she smiles and lifts him into the tub, telling him that everyone must learn to swim to survive. The final image is of Eugene, with the head of a middle-aged man on the body of an infant, learning the breaststroke in his undead mother’s bloody bathwater as she rhythmically counts out his strokes. This is Svankmajer's image of a valuable life lesson learned, as well as a summation of his art: adult lucidity forced to navigate back to the horrors of childhood, which are the raw horrors of existence, and discovering perverse comfort there. However, if Eugene seems to choose fantasy over reality, this is not a cynical or escapist gesture in the Hollywood mode. For Svankmajer, choosing to inhabit one’s dream world is choosing to live a complete life: not an escape from reality nor a repudiation of it, but a headlong plunge into the muck.


Top 7 Movies Set In Modern London
As the capital of England, it’s no surprise that London has been showcased as the backdrop for many films over the years. It is, therefore, no surprise that many have been convinced to relocate here after watching these great films set in modern London. After all, these films paint London as a vibrant, international city with much to offer its residents. From the heart-warming to the action-packed, these are the top 7 movies set in modern London.
Starting off this list is, of course, a film named after one of London’s most iconic neighbourhoods- Notting Hill. This 1999 film tells the love story of a bookshop owner and a famous Hollywood actress.
Although the bookshop heavily featured in the film does not actually exist, many of the other locations used are real and can be found in Notting Hill. These include Portobello Road Market, where you can find everything from fresh fruit and vegetables to antiques and vintage clothes.
If you’re a fan of the film, you’ll definitely want to check out these real-life locations used in it.
Bridget Jones’s Diary
This next film is another romantic comedy set in London, where we follow the life of singleton Bridget Jones as she tries to find love.
The film, which is based on a book of the same name, was primarily filmed in London, and some of the locations used include Borough Market and several other locations in and around central London.
This classic Christmas film follows the lives of several different couples as they navigate their way through love and relationships in the lead-up to Christmas. Many scenes in the film were shot in and around some of London’s most popular tourist attractions, making it the perfect film to watch if you’re dreaming of a trip to the city.
Four Weddings And A Funeral
The 1994 film Four Weddings and a Funeral is one of the most iconic British films of all time. The romantic comedy, which follows a man on his journey towards finding love, and how his friends’ most important life events helped him get there, was shot in a number of different locations across London.
Aside from using London as a backdrop, the film also showcased every Londoner’s struggle. Like, did you see how much of a struggle hailing a ride was?!!
The Harry Potter Franchise
Although most of the series is set in the Wizarding World, and more specifically, Hogwarts, the first and last two films of the franchise have our heroes spending a fair amount of time in good old London.
Some locations featured in the films include The Millennium Bridge, London City Hall, London Zoo, Piccadilly Circus, and Claremont Square. You will also find the King’s Cross Station featured in most, if not all, of the films as it is the location of the Hogwarts Express platform.
Named after the iconic London train station, this 2014 film tells the story of a talking bear who comes to live with a family in London. In the film and its sequel, Paddington the bear can be seen exploring some of London’s most famous landmarks and neighbourhoods.
Some landmarks you will see in the Paddington franchise are Buckingham Palace, the Natural History Museum, and the vibrant streets of Notting Hill.
Shaun of the Dead
This 2004 cult classic follows the story of Shaun, a man who is trying to get his life together as he deals with a zombie apocalypse that has suddenly overwhelmed London.
Although it may not be the most realistic portrayal of London, it is still a great film to watch if you want to see some of the city’s most famous landmarks under attack.
As you can see, there are a lot of great films set in London. If you’re thinking of moving to the city or just want to explore it through the eyes of some of your favourite characters, be sure to check out some of these films. Meanwhile, if any of these movies have inspired you to relocate to the city, be sure to check out our moving guides for a stress-free move! Moreover, remember to check out our London man and van companies to find movers who can help you move into your new home.


Patty Jenkins will return to direct Wonder Woman 2, becomes highest-paid female director ever
Patty Jenkins, who directed the blockbuster hit Wonder Woman, is all set to return for the superhero film’s highly-anticipated sequel, ending months of speculation. Jenkins has closed a deal with Warner Bros. to helm, co-write and produce the movie, reports The Hollywood Reporter. It makes her the highest paid female director in Hollywood history. Jenkins will reportedly receive directing and writing fees in the high seven figures (somewhere in the $7 million to $9 million range, according to the Hollywood Reporter).


Brent here, everyone. Frequent readers of the blog will recall that in September of 2008, I made a lone post heralding the monumental viewing of my 2000th film. Since here I am making yet another post, no doubt some of you are already doing the math, figuring out how long it takes a guy like me to watch 1000 films. Well, the answer is: it depends on how long the films are! I actually neglected to post about my 3000th, which I saw last November (14 months from my 2000th), and now, only four months later, have already seen the big four oh oh oh. How did I do this, you ask? Did I lose my job? Did I leave Michelle? Did I cut off all human contact? Did I finally create a device that freezes time around you and allows you to get all the things done that you've been meaning to do while the world around you waits? Happily, happily, sadly, and sadly, no, it was none of those things. Rather, as I've recently been watching mostly films from the earliest period of cinema (as early as 1890), literally hundreds of the films I've seen have been under an hour, under ten minutes, under a minute, under 30 seconds, etc. For example, just the other day I was able to watch something like 90 films, and without even really trying that hard.
But of course, it's not all about the numbers--it's about the films. And the two I picked to ring in those nice big round numbers up there were stunners. The first (pictured at left above) was a silent French film from the 1920s, an adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe, and a masterpiece of surrealistic horror. It was originally going to be co-directed by the great Luis Buñuel, though he backed out of the project over creative differences. The second film was an epic Italian film from the 1960s, starring the inimitable Alain Delon, and following a family that moves from the country to the city and is eventually torn apart by all of the new temptations they find there. Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese have cited it as a major influence on both The Godfather films and Raging Bull, respectively.
Anyone who can guess what films I'm talking about will win a hefty dollop of respect from yours truly.


This weekend, I watched my favorite movie, Braveheart. I first saw it in the theater in 1995 when it came out. My wife and I were dating at the time and we went together. I remember being deeply moved by the movie, though my wife couldn't get past the realistic portrayal of the violence. As I watched it this weekend, the messianic symbolism hit me in a way that I have not experienced before. I am certainly not the first person to notice this and I will not be the last. However, here are a few observations. I have interspersed Bible verses to make my point. Please look them up. (spoilers after the jump).
The main character, William Wallace, is a Scotsman whose father and brother are killed. He is taken away from his clan by his uncle Argyle. As an adult, he returns and professes his love to Murron (Jeremiah 31:3). He returns a dried flower she gave him as a child, signifying that he has loved her his whole life (Ephesians 1:4). Because of English tyranny, they marry in secret.
One of the English soldiers attempts to rape Murron and Wallace intervenes. They try to escape, but she is killed by the English. Driven by strong emotion and love for his wife, Wallace retaliates and kills the English garrison who occupies the village. In defense of her honor and for the liberation of Scotland, Wallace leads a rebellion against the mighty English, who have not lost a battle in over 200 years. He remains unswervingly committed to his cause (Luke 9:51, Matthew 16:23).
At the end of the movie, Wallace is captured (Luke 22:47). Several of the Scottish nobles have conspired to deliver William over to the English (Luke 22:1-2). The only nobleman not involved in the plot to deliver Wallace was Robert the Bruce, the heir apparent to the throne of Scotland. As the English soldiers are striking Wallace, Bruce attempts to intervene and blows start falling upon him as well. One of the nobleman shouts, "the Bruce is not to be harmed, that was the deal!" (2 Corinthians 5:21)
Wallace is brought to the palace where he is imprisoned for treason. He refuses to recant, holding fast to his commitment to Murron and to Scotland (Matthew 26:63). And so he faces purification by pain (Matthew 27:28-31) and then execution (Matthew 27:35). Princess Isabelle, who has fallen in love with Wallace, begs him to plead for mercy. When he refuses, she asks him to take something to dull his mind and again he refuses (Matthew 27:34).
At the last, he is brought into the public square. He is on his knees on a cart, strapped to a cross. The crowd jeers, spits at him, and throws food (Matthew 27:39). He is brought to the platform where he is tortured and strapped to another cross. The royal magistrate brutally tortures him and asks him to beg for mercy. Wallace yells out one word--"Freedom!"--and he is swiftly beheaded (John 19:30).
Braveheart is unquestioningly messianic, which is unsurprising from Mel Gibson. What may be more surprising is how deeply people are drawn to movies with a strong messianic theme and perhaps don't even know why. People love movies like Braveheart, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, or the Matrix to name a few. People may have a deep recognition of their need for a Redeemer, even if they don't openly acknowledge it.
I highly commend Braveheart to you if you have not seen it. It is profoundly moving.
Watch tomorrow for my second reflection on Braveheart.

In Conversation With:
Interviewed by Fleur Adderley
F: You have a sophisticated but experimental style. What inspires your concepts?
P: I’m inspired by art and music and all forms of creativity, like photography, design, architecture it all melds in filmmaking. As far as being experimental I’m just trying to find a new way in to keep it fresh and interesting. I like listening to music and imagining the scenes play out when I’m writing or coming up with ideas. Then getting to shoot what you imagined is super fun seeing it all come together.
F: You work a lot with brands, do you find striking the balance between pushing yourself and working with their vision a challenge?
P: I feel fortunate as I’ve been lucky to work on some really good briefs with cool and intelligent clients and agency creatives. It’s mostly a very good time with like-minded people and you become friends over the course of the job, especially when you travel or shoot something crazy. The creative challenge is to find the best way to work within the parameters of the brief and collaborate with everyone in getting there. You have to remember that they have hired you for the way you do things and they want you to infuse that into what you’re making with them.
F: What are your biggest creative achievements?
P: I remember being at a party when my friend and I had just made a short film together. It had made it into the finals of the ABC Triple J film contest, like the BBC but here in Australia. We had to drop off a copy to the tv station and later that night we were at a party and I was on the dance floor so happy that my dream of doing something in film was happening. The future felt so exciting and it’s like your first taste of the dream is always the sweetest and most pure.
As far as projects I think working with Tame Impala and what we created with them with Innerspeaker is still some of my most favourite work, likewise an art project I did with some super 8 film I shot of them recently. I think finding contentment as a creative is that super illusive dream and if you’re lucky it’ll evade you forever and keep you busy doing your thing and creatively striving for that. If I wrote and directed a film like Moonlight, I’d feel pretty content but I haven’t yet so got to keep working haha.
F: You portray the in between, spontaneous moments very well, how do you go about capturing these moments on camera?
P: I think it might come from my experience as a photographer. I worked with a quite a few bands and artists and I was always after that Rolling Stones kind of on the road style, fly on the wall look of photo journalism. The shot after the shot look.
In film it’s taking what can be a big film structure with a lot of people at times and make a not real, scripted moment feel like it is a super natural moment in time. For us to capture that it’s a combo of the actor and their interpretation of the character we create, actions and blocking, then the cinematography, camera movement and lensing coming together. You always start broad on the script and treatment, then cast and location and then refine the detail on everything the closer you get to shooting it. It can mean some late nights if you don’t have much pre-production time but it is all actually good fun.
F: What is the best piece of advice that has stuck with you throughout your career?
P: I can’t actually think of any one thing anyone ever told me. A more experienced film director once told me that my best asset was that I hadn’t studied film, so I didn’t know the rules I was breaking and therefore I was doing things in a new way. I have since studied screen writing and directing actors at NIDA and I think you can always learn more, but it is good to remember that doing things against the established ways of doing things will keep your work new.
F: Lots of your works are no longer than a couple of minutes, how do you fit a sense of narrative into such a short time frame?
P: I started in music videos and documentary so my first films were in the three minute plus space. I never had any constrictions with time and I always thought it would be easier to make things that were shorter, but the commercials pay per second for media time so you’re working in up to 60secs essentially. When you’re doing narrative in a short space of time, every shot needs to work hard as a story beat, it doesn’t mean those shots have to be boring but they have to be clear in their intent for a viewer. So it’s planning ahead and knowing you have the necessary shots and performance to tell the story you’ve set out to shoot whilst making it feel like a real moment, hopefully shot and told in an artful, fresh and captivating way. That is the dream.

This is only a guess, but we’re pretty sure that the two most popular things on the Internet are 1) pictures of sexy women, and 2) cats. Why cats? Who knows. But Batman co-creators Bob Kane and Bill Finger were definitely on to one of humanity’s odd tics when they conjured up Catwoman. Despite her status as a relatively peripheral player in the comic book megaverse, the coy character has proved enduring and incredibly popular, inspiring several indelible Hollywood performances and choice fashion moments (not to mention spawning millions of “sexy cat” Halloween costumes).
Introduced in the debut issue of Batman, in 1940, Catwoman was originally known just as the Cat. In that issue, she appeared sans her iconic costume, as well: The character was merely a slinky, seductive cat burglar (hence the name). Since then, the part heroine/part villainess has evolved quite a bit, emerging as a shaded love interest for Batman, a sometime ally as well as his foil. The fact that Catwoman is neither entirely bad nor entirely good has made her character, ahem, catnip for serious Hollywood actresses. The latest to slink into her latex suit is Anne Hathaway, who plays the role in this summer’s The Dark Knight Rises. Here, ahead of the film’s release, we pay homage to the ultimate feline fatale.

It was gonna happen sooner or later. I took the dive and went to see TENET, the most anticipated and talked-about movie of this long decade known as 2020. And for a year which seems to be excessively fraught with crisis and existential tragedy, there doesn’t seem to be a more prescient film that one could want to see. Perhaps a better word would be “experience,” for that is what it’s like to watch TENET, or any Nolan film. You can’t merely watch it, you must experience it. Or, as a scientist tells John David Washington’s character in the beginning of the film, “Don’t try to understand it. Feel it.”
TENET left me with a pounding headache and a hundred questions. The headache — and here lies my one qualm — I suspect came about because the film was ridiculously loud. I mean LOUD. The explosions, the soundtrack, the crashes, the guns firing: my ears got no rest from start to finish.
Unfortunately, the only thing that wasn’t loud was the dialogue. Spoken lines were trapped underneath the surrounding noise and sometimes completely indiscernible. When TENET’s available on streaming, I’ll definitely give it another go just to watch with captions turned on.
That aside, the film was wonderfully confusing and conceptually heavy. Which, as a sucker for time travel stories, is what I wanted and expected from a Nolan film. And “time travel” is a very basic term for the concepts the film tackles.
Anyway, here are some thoughts.
I’ve seen criticism of the film as lacking because the main character who is quite literally known as “the protagonist” has a very slim backstory and little known motivation beyond “I’m a good guy so I must stop the bad guy.” Incidentally, the film doesn’t have the problem that many superhero films have: an under-developed antagonist. By the end of TENET, we know far more about the antagonist Andrei Sator’s life, backstory, and motivations than we do about either the Protagonist or his sidekick, Neil, played enjoyably by Robert Pattinson. We know almost just as much about the pathos-laden supporting character, Kat (Elizabeth Debicki).
I guess, for some, this would be a Very Big Problem — a reason to dislike the film, a reason I’d take issue with if this were another story. But TENET isn’t the story we want it to be. The enigma of “the protagonist” works so well because the film is more about the concepts it explores than it is about an individual’s personal story. You might realize, by the end of the film, that the antagonist isn’t anti the protagonist per se. The Protagonist just gets in the antagonist’s way.
***MILD SPOILER BELOW***
The antagonist isn’t really the antagonist at all — but an ally of the story’s real antagonists: our descendants who are trying to destroy us before we ruin the world for them.
“You aren’t shooting the bullet; you’re catching it”
The first trailer revealed that TENET would deal with the idea of “reversing the flow of time.” Inversion. In Nolan’s world, this begins with objects operating in the opposite way we think they should. Like guns “catching” bullets instead of shooting them. (But of course the bullets would have to be shot first, right? Uh, stick a pin in that.) Or characters catching things instead of dropping them. (But of course they’d have to drop it first, right? Like I said, stick a pin in it.)
Ideally, this would mean that the effects inflicted by said objects are then undone, right? The damage inflicted by the bullet is automatically reversed? Not necessarily (at least in the film). Other objects impacted by inverted bullets (or bombs or tools) are reset to the way they were before. If a bullet fired into a window is “caught,” the shattered glass is automatically repaired. But a person shot with an inverted bullet from the future is less likely to survive than a person shot with a regular bullet — even if the bullet is “caught” (or un-shot?)
As the Protagonist and Neil work against Sator, they begin using inversion against him — which leads to the biggest scenes in the film being revisited as they attempt to get ahead of their enemy by going into their past and his past and attempting to change it.
The film doesn’t really pause to address whether the characters are stuck in a time loop, revisiting their past ad infinitum in an attempt to change the future. It dismisses the grandfather paradox — if our heroes go back to change the past how will they see the results in the future that prompt them to go back to change the past? Repeatedly, we hear, “What happened, happened.”
Which, I think, is as it should be. If you or I were able to travel into our past and change it — remove something or someone from the equation — we would just do it, assuming the outcome would be different, at least better than it was. And we would live with the new world that we had made.
As Neil says, “The world will never know what could happen. And even if they did, they wouldn’t care. Because no one cares about the bomb that didn’t go off. Only the one that did.”
Entropy, but in reverse?
Entropy, simply put, is the natural tendency of things to lose order, to spin out into chaos and darkness. Presumably, those who live in the future of TENET exist in a world where entropy is in full effect. They (rightly, I suppose) blame us for ruining the planet for them. Their solution: wage war against us in an effort to stop us from destroying the planet.
But since they are essentially starting what’s termed “World War III” in the present day, aren’t they just pushing entropy backwards along the timeline? Speeding up their own deceleration? If they keep pushing, sending back inverted bullets and bombs and armies, aren’t they burning the bridge before they get to it, ensuring their own decay?
Do they care that they are destroying the world? Do they intend to stop at some point? About which point in history would they say, “Hey, our ancestors were pretty good guys right about here?”
I know this post isn’t saying much, but I needed to dump my thoughts on the film, which I will definitely revisit. But what if I’ve already watched it twice and just don’t remember? What if I keep going back in time, watching TENET hoping to understand it, and coming away as confused as I was the first time.


I admit, I enjoyed watching Sons of Anarchy, maybe I was even obsessed with it. I thought it was entertaining as hell, and when I found out Kurt Sutter was working on a spinoff with the Mayans MC, I was glad because I figured it would also be a great series and only one he can create successfully. It would also help with the SOA withdraws I’m having.
The new series has not been without hiccups since recently Sutter decided to re-cast some members and even re-shoot scenes for the pilot. However, Sutter did comment on Twitter that the same happened with Sons of Anarchy. I actually give him credit for not rushing the project in order to perfect it.
I, like many, figured we would go back in time with the SOA series, back to when John Teller founded the club and he was married to Gemma, even though the SOA series did not leave any unanswered questions. Or, maybe even a post Jax Teller world.
The Mayans MC cast includes lead character Jorge Daniel Pardo (J.D.), who is a prospect known as EZ Reyes, that joins the club to seek revenge against the drug cartels for the murders of those close to him. His father is being played by legendary actor Edward James Olmos. However, no word yet if Olmos will stay on due to the recasting, but i can’t imagine him not included.
Sutter has also brought on as of late, Norberto Barba as executive producer and director while Sutter focuses on script writing. Originally, Sutter was also planning on directing.
Mayans MC will pick up where Sons of Anarchy left off.
Below is a video clip by Kurt Sutter when initially filming the pilot.

Thespian inspirations for the electroharp!
October 18, 2021
The Camac electroharp’s portability and limitless, amplified possibilities make it a perfect stage harp – and it’s currently part of some fantastic pieces of theatre.
In the hands of Llinos Daniel, a baby blue has been sharing the stage with none other than Sir Ian McKellen in Sean Mathias’s new production of Hamlet. The age- and gender-blind production has been a British theatrical sensation, set in a bleak industrial Elsinore, with the 82-year-old McKellen as the 30-year-old Prince.
Llinos, actor and musician, already had a Camac Baby Blue and contacted us about customising a harness so the harp could join the Players in Act II. This play-within-a-play is a key scene, tying into Hamlet’s preoccupations with performance and show, and questions of madness as reality is revealed as fragile and slippery. Adam Cork’s score makes the most of the electroharp’s possibilities, with sustain and effects throughout the dramatic soundscape. “It’s a pop of life and colour when we arrive”, says Llinos, “although I’m also one of the gravediggers, later on.”
On the other side of the Atlantic, Richard Hanna has created Melody Moore, a one-man show about the Irish poet and singer, Thomas Moore (1779 – 1852). He’s customised his dark green DHC 32 with decorations inspired by John Egan’s harp in the Salvi Collection, and takes his audience on a journey – comic and serious by turns – into Moore’s fascinating life and times. This portrayal includes the performance of 11 of Moore’s most famous songs, also layered with contemporary effects.

Highlander: The Series
“Highlander: The Series was a fantasy television series that ran from 1992 to 1998. An offshoot and alternate reality derived from the 1986 feature film Highlander.
In the world of the television series, Connor MacLeod had not won the prize, and there were still many Immortals in existence post-1985.
The series featured Duncan MacLeod (Adrian Paul), Connor’s clansman, as the main character. Christopher Lambert made only a guest appearance in the pilot episode. An international hit, the series was nominated three times for a Gemini Award, and once for a Saturn Award in 1998.”
— from Highlander Wiki
This is a landing page for my Highlander fan site’s pages: Highlander: The Series Episodes provides a few production notes, Methos screentimes, and links to some podcasts and reviews. In the previous design of this website, I included lots of screen caps (low quality) from each Methos episode, but you can watch the series pretty easily now via streaming services or on retail DVD. Highlander 4: Endgame was the last Highlander film to premiere in theaters. I saw it in the theater twice and wrote my own reviews, plus collected lots of articles and chat transcripts from the promotion of the film. The Books includes two book reviews by me and my annotated list of several more books. There are 9 canon Highlander: The Series tie-in novels and 1 anthology of stories written by HL:TS actors and behind-the-scenes creators. Finally, Links & Communities connects with more Highlander and Methos fans.

New Canadian Drama Vol. 6: Feminist Drama: Hooligans, Pope Joan
173 pages, Paperback ISBN: 9780888870957 $19.95 CA
About the Book
New Canadian Drama - Volume 6, Feminist Drama, edited by Rita Much.
The two plays selected for this anthology represent some of the chief formal and thematic concerns of feminist drama produced by Canada´s foremost feminist theatre, Nightwood, in the 1980s. By nurturing an entire generation of women theatre artists for the past thirteen years - writers, designers, directors, actors - and by emphasizing a non-naturalistic style, Nightwood Theatre has made a permanent impression on the nature and scope of contemporary Canadian theatre, its politics and its aesthetic, as well as the conditions in which this theatre is created.
The inspiration for Jan Kudelka and Mary Vingoe´s Hooligans produced in 1982, was the extraordinary life of American dancer Isadora Duncan, whose lyrical abstract movement was hailed by the artistic community of Europe and Russia as the pure and free expression of the creative spirit. Rather than simply tell Duncan´s story the playwrights opted to place her work and the passions that fueled it in the context of ideas, the people and the prejudices of her era.
In Nightwood´s 1984 production of Banuta Rubess´s Pope Joan the outside is an intelligent, learned girl of great faith who aspires to become the head of the Roman Catholic Church. Pope Joan is another example of Rubess´s continuing interest in both creating good stage roles for women and re-visioning history, recovering and reclaiming lost heroines from whose point of view the story is told.


02.09: Inherent Vice
In which we give our (many, many) thoughts on P.T. Anderson’s film adaptation of Inherent Vice(2014). Also, you’ll want to sit through the credits on this one in order to catch our announcement of Season Three’s book of choice!
The film-within-the-film is, according to Mr. Anderson, a film called The Russians Are Coming! The Russians Are Coming! (1966) However, that film was shot in color, yet the scene in Inherent Vice is in black-and-white. Why?

Senator Sonny Angara has sought to grant tax incentives and other perks to foreign film makers should they shoot their movies here in the Philippines.
The incentives are contained in Angara’s Senate Bill 1330, shortly titled, “Philippine Film and Television Tourism Act,” which, if enacted into law, will make locally-shot international movies huge “advertising billboards” that will surely generate the interest of foreign tourists to include the Philippines in their list of destinations.
“Film tourism is a growing phenomenon wherein tourists visit destinations that they saw in movies, televisions, or videos. We have to take advantage of this trend by encouraging foreign film producers to shoot here in the Philippines in exchange for certain benefits, in addition to best locations for movie making,” Angara said, pointing out the job opportunities that will definitely result from such additional tourist arrivals in the country.
Section 9 of the bill specifically grants an international or foreign film or television production tax and duty free importation of filming equipment, to be determined and endorsed by the Philippine Film and Television Tourism Authority (PFTTA), which shall be created to run the affairs related to film and television tourism.
Another incentive is the issuance to foreign nationals who are members of the international film production entities, as duly endorsed by the PFTTA, of a multiple entry special visa valid for a period of one year.
“By boosting the film tourism, the Philippines stands to increase tourist arrival and stimulate the economy. A dollar spent by a tourist for accommodation is multiplied by 2.1 times for the economy as it creates jobs and will have positive effect on other economic or industrial sectors,” the chair of the Senate ways and means committee said.
He cited the experience of New Zealand where its international visitor arrival increased by 50 percent since the first instalment showing of the “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy in 2001.
“Recognizing the potential of international and local motion picture production to create jobs, grow the economy, and raise the nation’s international profile, offering production tax incentives and other additional benefits are necessary steps our nation ought to take to seize this new opportunity as levers for growth and development,” Angara stressed.
He said the government should also give its support to the local movie industry, which has been begging for attention.
According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, from 1960 to 1999, the Philippines produced an average of 140 movies each year.
However, from 2000 to 2009, local film output fell to an average of 73 annually. Last year, only 78 local films were made.

In this installment of One With The Force I want to talk about the prequel character Padmé Naberrie Amidala and how I totally think her character was essentially assassinated by her creator.
I'm not a huge fan of the Prequels, but they are the reason that I got into Star Wars and discovered the original trilogy. So I have a lot of love for them being a means to introduce this world to new fans.
One character that I LOVED in the prequels was Padmé. Knowing that she was supposed to be the mother of Luke & Leia made her super interesting to me. I liked that rather than traditional fighting she fought with her wit and really tried to be as diplomatic as possible. I think a lot of fans see Leia as Padmé, but I disagree. Her love for people, and the ability to see that evil could be turned back to good makes her seem much more like Luke. Not to say that Leia is not compassionate, but I think she is fueled by her anger much like Anakin was.
Padmé in the first episode is awesome! She is a young queen that just hides in secret and does what she has to do to protect her people. I loved that about her! However, as we see her get older and see her relationship with Anakin develop, I have to wonder how bad her taste in men were! In the movies her love story with Anakin just feels really wooden. I think it's a way to show that although she is a powerful woman that has a lot of sway in the senate, when it comes to love she doesn't know what she is doing. I kinda like that about her, but it also made me want to shake her and yell, "Girl, run!" Honestly, in retrospect I wonder if their relationship was abusive in some way. There were a few episodes of the Clone Wars that I really DID NOT like the way he talked to her. Also, in Revenge of the Sith all she does is sit around and be pregnant. The way Anakin lashes out at her in this movie really bothered me too.
That's where I think her character got assassinated. In the first two movies we see a cool female character that is getting shit done, and then in the next one she is just sad and pregnant?!? I think we get a little bit more depth of Padmé in the Clone Wars cartoon, but going from that to her just being "furniture" in the last movie was so jarring. There were supposed to be some scenes with her meeting with Bail Organa & Mon Mothma as they start the fledging Rebel Alliance, but they were cut because George Lucas wanted this movie to be about Anakin's journey. I'm pretty much paraphrasing Lucas himself here. If you watch these deleted scenes with the commentary on, that's basically what he says about why these scenes were cut. That makes me so mad, because it just feels like Padmé gets written off as a character that is just there to move the plot further.
One thing I do want to rage about a little bit is Padmé's death. So before Revenge of The Sith came out, and we already knew that she was the SkyMom, I had a theory. In Return of The Jedi, when Luke asks Leia if she remembers her real mother, she says yes that she does and that she was very sad. I thought that they split up the twins, Luke went to his Uncle and Leia went to Alderaan, but I thought Padmé went with Leia. There was clearly a friendship between Bail and Padmé so I thought maybe he took her to his home planet to go into hiding. I know some other fans, not knowing at the time that Bail had a wife who was the royal heir to Alderaan, thought maybe they got married and just brought Leia up as Bail's own. I'm okay with that theory too, but I don't think if Padmé had lived that she would have remarried so soon. So when she dies, I thought, "Wait a minute, doesn't Leia remember her, how could she die? That is a major plot hole!" I know some fans try to say that maybe this shows that Leia has the force, but honestly I think it was just bad writing.
I also really dislike her death, because it's not that she dies in childbirth, but she just dies because she has "lost the will to live." Lost the will to live, are you serious? I HATED that reasoning. I have heard some fans say that she just went insane, but I still don't buy that. One theory that I've heard and I believe is that Anakin killed her. When she goes to confront him on Mustafar and he force chokes her,Anakin doesn't really know how to control his powers and steals her life force when he force chokes her. He was an extremely powerful Jedi, and as a new Sith he was just started to experience with his dark side powers, so it's possible he didn't really know what he was doing yet. Now that is a theory that I think makes absolute sense, and I wish this was something that was confirmed in the movie. I do think that Palpatine told Anakin he killed her, and that's why he doesn't turn away from the dark side until Luke comes into the picture.
I think Padmé deserved so much better than what she got. She deserved a better death than what we see in the prequels, and I'm STILL made about it.
What do you think about Padmé's death. Are you okay with how her death is shown in the movies, or do you think the theory that Anakin killed her accidentally is a better one? How do you feel about her character development?
Happy Reads Everyone!

If you’re looking for a good laugh and a light-hearted television series, then look no further than 30 Rock. The comedy series was created by Tina Fey, the former head writer and cast member of Saturday Night Live, and produced by the acclaimed creator of SN, Lorne Michaels. The series’ name refers to 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City, the address of the GE Building, where the NBC Studios are located. With a large budget, high-quality cinematography, great soundtrack, and help from such starring actors as Alec Baldwin and Tracy Morgan, the show has received several Primetime Emmys and Golden Globes. Currently in its seventh and final season, 30 Rock’s avid fan following is disappointed to see the show come to its end. But not to worry, it’s already begun syndication and has been added to Netflix, so its many great moments will be relived for years to come.
The show is based on Tina Fey’s experiences at Saturday Night Live, taking place as a quirky ‘behind the scenes’ look at a fictional live sketch comedy series airing on NBC. With years of experience writing for SNL, Fey’s screenwriting makes this show one of the most up-to-date and fun in the history of television, but be warned that it is highly satirical and the humor is immensely dry. My favorite character on the show is Jack Donaghy, played by Alec Baldwin, as a corporate bigwig that mentors Tina Fey’s character, Liz Lemon, throughout the series. The witty banter between the two of them is enough to keep any comedy lover laughing for hours on end. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

JUMANJI MOVIE POSTER
18″x24″, single-color screen print on brown paper
This is a recreated movie poster for the 90’s film, “Jumanji.”The movie revolves around an old board game that comes to life, spawning all kinds of jungle animals, chaos, and a very scruffy Robin Williams. The poster is screen printed with hand rendered type to create a chaotic feel, and to also resemble the board game spaces. The fallen over elephant piece is symbolic of Robin Williams’ character, who was stuck inside the game for decades.


FASTERPUSSYCAT is an Anglo/Danish theatre company, and comprises Janice Dunn and Maria Lohmann. Janice is an English theatre director and writer, and she has a great deal of experience working with Shakespeare plays and texts. Maria is a Copenhagen born actress/director/workshop leader, who trained in London at the prestigious Italia Conti Academy. She has appeared in a variety of classic text English performances; including playing Juliet in Romeo and Juliet in a production in Verona itself.
FASTERPUSSYCAT offers Shakespeare introductory or masterclass workshops for danske gymnasier. These are dynamic, interactive and fun programmes that engage and stimulate pupils via Shakespeare’s language and stories.
We use a variety of techniques, and bite sized chunks of text, to get students thinking, acting and speaking. Within a 90 minute session we would expect all students to create and present their own version of a scene, in small groups; and also to tackle another facet of that or another play, from a new standpoint.
We can tailor our workshop offers to the specific plays being studied by any school or college, and likewise alter our workshop content to suit the needs of schools or students.
We are flexible, and happy to collaborate with teachers and pupils. We enjoy our work, and feel passionate about bringing Shakespeare to young people in a fresh new context. We can work together, or singly.
We can also offer courses or workshops for teachers, so they can take our ideas and techniques, and use them themselves.
Visit our homepage fasterpussycat.dk for further information and for examples of workshops.
Our fees are based on hourly rates, and the nature/size of the project. As a general rule the price for a 90-minute-lesson is 900 kroner per instructor. For classes hosted outside the borders of Sjælland there will be a travel fee.

Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantomania As star Paul Rudd continues to talk about what fans can expect from Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Mania, the movie is quickly becoming one of the most anticipated Marvel Cinematic Universe films of the next two years.
There are very few days that are as exciting for Marvel fans as the D23 Marvel panel, which is where Kevin Feige takes the stage at the massive Disney convention and unveils so much of what is on the ledger for the MCU in the next several years. This event is one of the most anticipated days of the year for Marvel enthusiasts.
ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA-AUGUST 24: Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantomania
Kevin Feige, the President of Marvel Studios, participated in the Walt Disney Studios presentation that took place today at Disney’s D23 EXPO 2019 in Anaheim, California. (Photo taken by Jesse Grant and acquired by Getty Images from Disney)
This year was no different than previous years in terms of the enormous announcements that were made, with Marvel Studios digging into a large number of projects that would be essential to the completion of Phase Four. Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantomania
However, there is one project that is going to start off Phase Five with an incredible boom. This is because the convention saw an opportunity for the individuals who are a part of that film to investigate the possibility of doing so.
Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantomania
And Paul Rudd took advantage of this chance to talk about what fans can expect from Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and why their unending enthusiasm is warranted.
Rudd shared his thoughts with the audience, telling them, “The first movies are so close to and important to me, and I was so happy to be ready to start this thing.” This stuff is really insane.”
Originally posted by @andyparkart
Rudd proceeded by saying, “And while it sounds like a bit of an oxymoron if something so little can achieve something so massive, this is going to be unlike anything you’ve seen from [Marvel].” [Citation needed] And I shouldn’t even have to mention Jonathan; he’s amazing.
In conclusion, Rudd stated that the reappearance of Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror “throws this whole thing into such fresh terrain.”
With this long-awaited project, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) hopes to finally plunge headfirst into the action of the Multiverse Saga. It is impossible to overstate the potential significance of this film for the MCU. Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantomania
Kang’s presence and the tale of Scott Lang will be the main pulls for the picture, but maybe the most important development will be how it transitions the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the next Phase Five. Kang’s presence and the story of Scott Lang will be the largest draws for the film.


This is a video created for Comm Lab with Calli Higgins, Lucas Zavala, Krystal Banzon, and Lisa Maria. They were amazing to work with and I am really pleased with how our project turned out. You can watch below:
This will be a 3-5 minute film that explores the ideas of paranoia and fear in a psychological thriller. There will be no dialogue; rather the natural sounds of her actions along with her whimsical singing will create the soundtrack. We start by following a young, paranoid woman as she walks home, looking over her shoulder, and clecnhing her hands. Her walk eventually breaks into a slow run and she eventually finds solace in the foyer of her building, pressing her back against the glass for the camera to see her take a deep breath. We follow her as she uncomfortably rides the elevator with a neighbor, and we watch her carefully walk into her apartment. Here, she beings to relax. She drops her keys, kicks off her shoes, and takes off her dress while still building tension for the audience. She begins to draw a bath that runs while she abruptly and chillingly chops vegetables for dinner. While doing this, she sings a whimsical song to herself that loops through the rest of the movie, eventually incorporating thrashing bangs as the intensity increases.
While chopping vegetables, she cuts herself and we watch blood flow out of her finger, staining the water. She sucks on her finger and takes another deep breath. After throwing the vegetables into the pan to sauté, she enters her steaming bath. We watch her relax, a jarring cut between uncomfortable and abrupt chopping scenes to long, relaxed, out of focused motions as she washes herself and shaves her legs. An overhead shot sees her relax, only to open her eyes and suddenly realize that the window is open. She quickly jumps up in the bath and slams in shut. Putting on a robe (as seen through the foggy bathroom mirror), she enters the kitchen to begin eating her dinner. Close up’s show her cutting and spearing her vegetables, closely putting them into her mouth. Finally relaxed, a wide shot shows her eating her dinner, plate in hand, while flipping through a magazine. As the camera pans out, we see the foot of a dead man sticking out from a closet. We suddenly realize that she is not paranoid because someone is following her, she is paranoid because we, the viewer, are aware of what she is doing. The final shot shows her looking directly into the camera, smiling, recognizing that we are both aware of each other’s presence. “Psycho Killer” by the Talking Heads begins to play as credits are rolled.
Project by Calli Higgins, Lucas Zavala, Lisa Maria, Krystal Banzon and Sarah Jenny.


When did you last throw your head back in laughter?
Last week I spent the week in Philladelphia working with my colleagues. We stay in an AirBnB apartment together and one of our traditions is to watch cheesy movies together.
Coming to America was on Netflix so we took the opportunity to watch it together. As a kid growing up I can’t count how many times I watched that movie but I pretty much know every line, but that doesn’t make it any less funny watching it again.
This is my favourite scene; it definitely makes me throw my head back in laughter.
Randy Watson… Sexual Chocolate. Sexual Chocolate!
Next question for Kitty:
Are there mistakes you repeat from one holiday to the next?

ABOUT THIS UNIT AND ORGANIZATION by Shara Cherniak
The first time I watched the hit Disney movie Frozen, I was immediately inspired to use the movie’s many motivational messages of love, light and self-acceptance in a Grounded Yoga Unit. This unit is intended for students Pre-Grounded through teen, with themes and asana sequences that can be considered as challenging, intriguing and relevant for this range of Grounded students as well as adaptable to meet the needs of individual classes. For teachers and students who have not seen the movie, I provide a basic description of the scene that served as a catalyst for each flow. This unit consists of eleven lesson plans, organized chronologically with the movie. It is intended to be done over 11 weeks, 12 weeks for the Pre-Grounded Level (with two class periods spent on the final project). Individual classes of other levels may likewise want to add an additional day to the final project.
