^ actually it's neshama just to get it right and clarify... Will be watching the "Star Trek" 2009 movie tonight. I loved when Spock returned: "I have been and always shall be your friend." Then when Spock meets Spock, what an epic yet tender moment. Always makes me smile, even just thinking about it.

Technically not presently on TV, but watched this "60 Minutes" episode about the special city of Cremona, Italy in which the best violins in the world - Stradivarius - are made. http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/the-city-of-music/ Some wonderful insights into the craftsmanship of the instrument, including the only two forests from which the wood for the Strads is taken. The selection process itself is meticulous; it's fascinating to know all the little details that can affect the particular sound quality of a given piece of wood, and eventually, the instrument. Then, coming full circle, the forest in Italy itself is serenaded periodically with violins made from it. Here's some extra few minutes of footage: http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/memories-of-a-journey-to-the-land-of-violins/ I also stumbled upon this 10 minute teaser of a documentary about Stradivari vs. Guarneri - also from Cremona (and actually the Amati family as well - what is it about that city?! Must go and visit...) "Violin Masters: Two Gentlemen of Cremona" Check out the documentary website for more information about the production and talent: http://www.violin-masters.com/ In a time of mass production in which uniformity and efficiency rule, the craftsmanship that makes each instrument unique and the time it takes to do so is both refreshing and alluring. I'm moved by the intimacy between the musicians and their instruments: "To me this is not a tool. It never was. In fact, for me, this is a complete extension of my being. In fact, in Hebrew - we have something called the sound post in there - in Hebrew it's called the soul. The actual word, neshema, it's the 'soul'. This [points to violin] is the soul." - Pinchas Zukerman. It's rare to hear people speak like that. Edited to remove senile moment.

"Hugo" screenplay

The studio version is slightly slower and a bit cleaner, but this live one's got so much passion... love it!

Bron-Yr-Aur, hands down. You can picture the place and sense the feel of it in the melody.

Also, the Ticketmaster page for these Caesars shows has Facebook (10AM) and Internet (12PM) Pre-sales happening on FEB. 25. The venue doesn't seem to have a Facebook page, so perhaps Jason's FB page will show the pre-sale password? And just to consolidate the June shows so far: 04-JUNE Dallas, TX House of Blues Tickets 05-JUNE Austin, TX Emo's Tickets 06-JUNE Houston, TX House of Blues Tickets

If you could when you can, that would be great. Fascinating subject. In the Oscar thread, I posted an article about the honest look behind the Oscar voting process. I just wanted to highlight this part for a different focus. Regarding "American Sniper": " It shows that a movie can galvanize America and shows that people will go if you put something out that they want to see. With regard to what it did or didn’t leave out, it’s a movie, not a documentary. I enjoyed it, I thought it was well done, and I can separate out the politics from the filmmaking." https://ca.movies.yahoo.com/news/anonymous-oscar-voter-reveals-brutally-honest-ballot-141014501.html I still haven't seen "American Sniper" but there has been some controversy both here on the forum and in many articles. A similar controversy has been brewing with "Ida", another example of films and the politics that get entangled with them. Does ‘Ida’ Misrepresent Poland's Treatment of Jews? Oscar-Nominated Film Draws Fire for Occupation Portrayal OPUS FILM Looking Up: Agata Kulesza (left) and Agata Trzebuchowska star in Pawel Pawlikowski’s Oscar-nominated film. By David Levesley Published February 06, 2015, issue of February 13, 2015. Every year since 1963, Poland has submitted a movie for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Nine of the country’s past submissions have been shortlisted for the prize, and 2015 marks the 10th: “Ida,” a black-and-white film about a Polish nun (Agata Trzebuchowska) who discovers she is Jewish and that her parents were murdered by those who offered them sanctuary. It is bleak, slow and concise, while also offering a cast of ciphers for the complex history of 20th-century Poland. English language critics have lauded the movie as an artistic triumph: A.O. Scott of The New York Times named it the second best movie of the year, and The New Yorker’s David Denby was “thrown into a state of awe by the movie’s fervent austerity.” But groups on both the Polish left and right are far from content with Ida’s treatment of Polish, particularly Polish Jewish, history. One aspect of “Ida” that such groups find problematic is the fact that the only murder of Jews portrayed in the film is carried out by a Pole. Considering the outrage whenever Nazi death camps on Polish land are labeled “Polish” in the media or by officials, this might not be entirely surprising. Critics also took issue with the character of the aunt, Wanda Gruz (Agata Kulesza), an ex-judge under the Stalinist regime who sentenced many people to death. Because she is the only middle-aged Polish Jew in the movie, some find her to be an unflattering avatar for those Jewish citizens who joined the secret police in Stalinist Poland. The Polish Anti-Defamation League, which is circulating a petition that has 36,000 signatures, has asked the moviemakers to add contextualizing captions before the movie’s start, to make clear that Poland was occupied by Germany during the war and that many Poles did hide Jews even at the risk of death. In an email to The New York Times, one of the film’s producers, Eric Abraham, objected to the request. “It is telling that a fictional film about two women traumatized by National Socialism and Stalinism should so get under the skin of Polish nationalists,” Abraham wrote. “It’s as if anything that picks away at the scab of the nation’s unprocessed history of Stalinism and anti-Semitism remains a clear and present threat.” According to Sheila Skaff, director of the master’s program at New York University’s Gallatin School and author of “The Law of the Looking Glass: Cinema in Poland, 1896-1939,” the film’s nomination caused anger in part because the director Pawel Pawlikowski is not seen as particularly influential in the Polish film scene. His work, Skaff says, is “more reminiscent of Ozu and Japanese cinema than postwar Polish cinema.” She noted that the film lacks the complex narrative and fast tempo of most contemporary Polish movies, and that this simple narrative structure coupled with heady political topics might not sit well with some. “This is one of the gloomiest movies ever to come out of Poland,” said Skaff. “There’s a darkness that’s very hard for people to accept.” Padraic Kenney, a history professor at Indiana University and vice president of the Association for Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies, contends that the film’s role as “Poland’s business card to the world” has bred discord because large swathes of Polish political history are represented by just two characters: the orphaned Jewish girl Ida as a symbol of the war, and the hardened Jewish “comrade” Wanda as a avatar of Stalinism. According to Kenney, Poland now has arrived at a place of maturity and open discourse about its role in World War II, and has come to terms with much of its Jewish history too, as witnessed by last year’s opening of the Museum of the History of the Polish Jews in Warsaw. But Poland’s communist history has not yet been sufficiently parsed,”and it was during communist reign in 1968 that most of Poland’s remaining Jews were forced into exile or assimilation. It is this far murkier period that is embodied in the character of Wanda, who is supposedly based on the alleged war criminal Helena Wolinska-Brus. OPUS FILM Snowed Over: The characters in ‘Ida’ are made to represent large swathes of Polish political history. “Ida,” Kenney says, is a highly unusual Polish film to be submitted for an Oscar. While other countries have settled on very specific formulae for their submissions — World War II biopics or “quirky comedies that make Norway or Estonia seem like a real fun place” — Poland varies its choices from one year to the next. Last year, Poland’s choice was a biopic of Lech Wałesa. “I can’t imagine a biopic ever winning the Oscar,” said Kenney, “because it’s made to speak to a Polish audience.” “Ida” may be the only Polish movie in its category, but it is not the only Polish movie up for an award, Skaff said. Two Polish documentaries (“Joanna” and “Our Curse”) are up for the Oscar for Best Documentary Short Subject and both, she says, are centered on illness but are less dour than “Ida.” They endeavor to show viewers that Poland shouldn’t be seen as too glum a land. Still, according to Kenney, the majority of Poles are unconcerned with the fate of “Ida” overseas. “We don’t think people will watch ‘Selma’ in France and get the wrong idea of the United States,” he said. “If this film wins the Oscar, it won’t be because people think it’s about Poland.” David Levesley is the Forward’s arts and culture intern. http://forward.com/articles/214172/does-ida-misrepresent-polands-treatment-of-j/? I was at the TIFF 2014 premiere of "Ida" and an audience member asked why Poles were misrepresented as being anti-Semitic, why there were none shown risking their lives to help hide Jews as her father had done. Awkward question, and though valid, not for the context of this film. There's a big difference between a movie lacking breadth and depth, and it not focusing on what people want it to address. Politics inevitably get discussed, and it's a valid discussion in its own right, but that's also not the point of a given movie, which should be accepted and critiqued on its own merit or on the story it actually strives to communicate. I feel the last line of of the article sums it up nicely.

Did I say three of us? lol it looks like it's just two Thanks for the RII suggestion, Strider, really appreciate it. Just got a copy, can't wait to see it! Ben Whishaw is one of those rare young actors that we feel privileged to witness because he's so good we'll be talking about him for years to come. He was mesmerizing in "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer." This whole BBC series "The Hollow Crown" is now on an ever growing list of things to see. Adapting plays to film can be tricky. I'm curious how the more obvious stage of RII elements translate. It doesn't always work. For example, In Michael Radford's "The Merchant of Venice" the whole Portia-as-Balthazar artifice doesn't work nearly as well on film as it does on stage. You just don't buy into it when characters are presented more realistically and in a more realistic world the whole way through. I've not seen any of the live theatre or opera satellite feeds (though the Lear one was previously recorded - it's from last summer's Stratford Festival in Ontario) so I wonder whether it is staged with being filmed in mind or just a straight recording, that is, theatre for film or simply filmed theatre, and how well that translates in 2D. The single best filmed live theatre performance I've ever seen was at TIFF 2014 with Julie Taymor's "A Midsummer Night's Dream." This production was staged at BAM, and towards the end of the run, they decided to capture it because they felt it was something special. Cameras were installed in the theatre so as not to obstruct the performance and filmed it from multiple angles simultaneously. The performances themselves, however, were not altered in any way; the actors played to the audience in the theatre (which you could see and hear since it was a black box type of configuration - I think it was in the Fishman Space), rather than to those behind the camera, so no close-ups especially for the lens and no whispering for a mic that could be edited later. It was the one time I felt a director's imagination reached so far as to match Shakespeare's words and the creative world they made. Breathtaking performance by the great Kathryn Hunter who played Puck (most will know her as Mrs. Arabella Figg in Harry Potter OotP: "Good Lord, boy, they told me you were intelligent" lol). She's all of about five feet tall, does two hours of yoga a day, and smokes, all of which helped in shaping such a unique portrayal of this character. Max Casella as Nick Bottom was incredible, too. The cameras simply captured the dynamics of rare theatre magic. At the Q&A after the movie, Taymor said that they just weren't sure what to do with it next. It's hard to find distribution for that kind of 'film'. "Maybe this was it, and if you didn't see it, fuck you," she said. Boss. So glad I got to see it. Oscars Sunday night.

Excellent article. They should just distribute this to the lawyers of those suing and to the judge and call it a day. Thanks for posting.

Indulge me - I LOVE theatre of all kinds (it's a sort of entrancing sickness for which, if there is ever a cure, I will refuse to take), and I'm wild for a certain Mr. Shakescene's productions, so for the, ahem, three of us who are interested, this will be coming soon to a movie theatre near you!

Thanks, Strider, I don't have Netflix and it's not playing near here, so I'll have to wait for it to be available for sale on video. I have a feeling it'll be a rage/tear-inducing doc, not just because of the harm that some are willing to do, but the lengths that protectors are going to as well. If it means proceeds of sales help them protect the park or in general fewer pics of idiots posing with the majestic game they've so bravely conquered with a gun (talking about not just gorillas now), then the balance can be tipped at least a little towards good. Watched Lucas's 1968 short Coppola doc (not the interview below yet). I love all those behind-the-scenes decisions, challenges, and creative solutions that lead to the finished film. Watch George Lucas’ 1968 Documentary on Francis Ford Coppola and His Recent 1.5-Hour Talk at Sundance Posted by Jordan Raup, on February 4, 2015 at 7:00 am We’ve seen a documentary on the “film school generation” of the 1970′s and now today brings another peek behind the curtain before Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas would truly break out. Filmmaker, a 32-minute 1968 documentary from Lucas, follows Coppola behind-the-scenes of Rain People. Made for around $12,000 while Lucas was writing his script for THX-1138, it takes an intimate look at what it takes to put together an independent production, including rehearsals, rewrites, studio interference, and much more. Jumping to the present-day, we also have a recent 1.5-hour conversation between Lucas andRobert Redford while at Sundance this year. During the talk, the Star Wars creator says he has “no interest in science-fiction at all” and slams Hollywood for their reliance on “circus movies,” but believes that his hit franchise has “a lot more substance.” Nodding the aforementioned video, Lucas added, “All of us in film school hated the establishment. It was the ’60s.” Also discussing how independent filmmakers should own their properties, he says there’s not much money in post-production or visual effects. For two very different sides of Lucas, check out both Filmmaker (via Open Culture) and the full talk below. http://thefilmstage.com/news/watch-george-lucas-1968-documentary-on-francis-ford-coppola-and-his-recent-1-5-hour-talk-at-sundance/

It appears that the following shows have been cancelled: MARCH 11, 2015 - NAPA, CA MARCH 12, 2015 - RENO, NV MARCH 26, 2015 - MOBILE, AL

Not sure what the issue is for you, ZoSo95, but if the links don't work, try just going to ticketmaster.com and type "Jason Bonham" in the search window. All the shows appear, and when you click on "tickets" it takes you to Live Nation. From here you can choose your tickets. It worked for all three Las Vegas shows when I tried it. I hope that helps. Good luck!

This is a doc I've yet to see, but really want to: Oscar Nominee ‘Virunga’ Receives Support From Clintons, Church of England FEBRUARY 11, 2015 | 03:18PM PT Variety Staff In the past few weeks, the Oscar-nominated documentary “Virunga” has received some high-profile support. The film is set in Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo and focuses on the park rangers who literally risk their lives to protect the park and the mountain gorillas who live there. Threats include rebel groups and the U.K. oil company Soco, which seeks to exploit the park’s natural resources. SEE MORE: Awards: The Contenders On Jan. 31 Bill and Hillary Clinton were surprise guests at a screening in New York attended by Leonardo DiCaprio, one of the film’s executive producers. And Jane Goodall, a U.N. Messenger of Peace, recently saw the film and released a statement saying, “’Virunga’ is a wake-up call. Everyone who cares about the future of the planet must see this movie, and I would like to congratulate those responsible for its birth.” Perhaps most importantly, “Virunga” is helping to bring about actual change. “Virunga” director Orlando von Einsiedel received word on Feb. 7 that the Church of England, one of Soco’s major shareholders, was speaking out. Said von Einsiedel, “They made a very public announcement in the U.K. that unless the company made real assurances that they were never going to exploit oil in this park and to answer all the allegations, they were going to withdraw all of their shares.” Added von Einsiedel: “So it’s working. There’s a lot to hope for.” The filmmaker was speaking at a private screening hosted by Rashida Jones and moderated byVariety’s Jenelle Riley. In the post-film Q&A, he added that Soco threatened to sue him if “Virunga” was released. Asked if he ever feared for his safety during the two years he lived in Virunga Park and shot the film, he replied: “All the time. I was regularly very scared making this film. But whatever fear that I had as a filmmaker, the people in the film took way bigger risks.” In fact, 140 rangers have died protecting the park. And two days before the film premiered at last year’s Tribeca Film Festival, one of the subjects of the film – chief warden Emmanuel de Merode – was shot. “He had turned over a dossier of evidence on this oil company and, on his way back to the park, he was ambushed by unknown gunmen and shot twice,” revealed von Einsiedel. “We weren’t sure if we should pull the film or not and he said, ‘No, the world needs to know what’s happening in this park. You have to screen it.’ He’s made from tough stuff. He was back working about 35 days later.” As is the case with many great documentaries, von Einsiedel originally set out to make a very different movie. “One day I read about the story of these park rangers trying to rebuild their country after 20 years of war. I was so inspired, and they were doing it in this magnificent place called Virunga I’d never even heard of,” he noted. “So I went out to tell that story, and when I got there, I learned about this oil company that was doing this illegal exploration and very quickly this civil war started. The story took this massive U-turn almost immediately. But we wanted to stay and follow what happened because we were so inspired by the rangers.” After shooting for two years, von Einsiedel had more than 300 hours of footage and realized there were many stories he could tell. “We almost had three separate films; a National Geographic nature documentary, an investigative film and a war movie,” he said. “We knew the key to making this film engaging and exciting and true to the real story was to combine these cinematic positions together. And the director is putting his money where his mouth is; profits from the sale of “Virunga” to Netflix were donated back to the park. “This was always about more than a film for me. We signed with Netflix because they have the biggest reach we wanted to get this film out to as many people as possible,” he said. “The money from the deal we gave back to the park.” “Virunga” is currently back in theaters and can be viewed on Netflix.

All day long, with pleasure This is SOO fucking great oh mercy Lawd RAAAAAWWRR!!! They poured their hears out into this one, held nothing back. Right guys, right time, right reason all coming together for a zenith performance. So much passion and care to make it come together just so and soar.

Cheers, Strider, I hope you get a chance to check them out. I've watched a few and have been moved by several. And thanks for the recommendations. I definitely want to watch JM's film. If you or others have some time, there's also Toronto's Bell Lightbox which has programs outside of its use for TIFF (incidentally, I saw Scorsese there this year for an interview after the screening of "The 50 Year Argument" - he really is a Rolodex of information! Brilliant mind - a pleasure to listen to). It has has screenings, interviews, and exhibitions: http://www.tiff.net/ Also, the National Film Board of Canada has some interesting content: https://www.nfb.ca/channels/ I've been into stop animation shorts of late, and there are a couple of great ones I've seen so far. Happy viewing, eight days a week

I thought these SUNDANCE SHORTS might be of interest: http://www2.sundance.org/anotheryou/ Enjoy

WOW what trip in time. It was a great show! Can't believe it was over 20 years ago...

^ It's heartwarming that you and Mrs. W got even a little lift of spirits from it, Walter. Thanks for sharing, and continued blessings to your family Thanks, Charles, already feeling it. Protein powder helps a lot. It's hard getting back into it again, but after a long delay due to an injury, it's great to be getting out of one shape and into another

Amazing news for both of you. Hoping for the best for Mrs. W! Had a kickass workout tonight. Hopefully it means I sleep better tonight, although I'm sure I'll be posting about the very same workout in the 'what made you unhappy' thread in a day or two lol

Absolutely. The decision has weathered some critical storms and stood the test of time, and its integrity is all the stronger for it. Even if all the remaining members were healthy, it would still have been the the honourable and if I can use the term, moral, decision. The spirit of the band was where those four particular individuals intersected. Trying to recreate that alchemy would have been mad. Add to all the facts already stated that at some point Jonesy too wanted out and had to be convinced to return, well, all those factors just shut that door once and for all, and allowed for others to open. We see now the respective paths they've chosen. A word about "reunions": O2 was a great concert, and Jason did an amazing job, as good as it could have been done, truly, but the fact has and will remain: No Bonzo, No Led Zeppelin (same goes for any of the other members, equal parts of greatness that made the whole so special.)

I came here to post about the 70th anniversary of Auschwitz being liberated, and am glad to see that it has already been spoken about. EDIT: CNN is airing a special TOMORROW night (WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28TH, changed from tonight) at 9pm: "VOICES OF AUSCHWITZ" http://cnnpressroom.blogs.cnn.com/2015/01/08/cnns-wolf-blitzer-to-host-voices-of-auschwitz-jan-27-at-9pm-et/ It's been said that people with numbers on their wrists and forearms are holy. It is a blessing that we still have survivors among us, that they give voice to their experiences and those of the silenced, and that we get to hear them. A slide show "Ghosts of Auschwitz": https://ca.news.yahoo.com/photos/ghosts-of-auschwitz-1422029261-slideshow/ This one still makes my throat and stomach tighten even in pictures. I saw it as a kid before leaving Poland and remember the overwhelming sense of loss and cruelty. Countless... This one stands out because it marks a time when names became numbers. Now their names are remembered again and that is good and just. Here is a link to the official website: AUSCHWITZ-BIRKENAU MEMORIAL AND MUSEUM
