AGONY !!
I've been wanting to say how brave is/was actor/director/humanist Mark Rylance in criticising British arts companies be in theater, art, whatever for accepting BP sponsorship. Well there/here we go. 'Cause I am very too 'pissed off'. As well, if there some! I heard Rylance in an interviewing saying that British and American arts organisations were different. Well: in a way yes, but in a bigger way NO!
Deepwater Horizon was the worst-ever US oil spill in history. BP bears 67% of the blame; Swiss-based drilling rig owner Transocean Ltd takes 30%; and Houston-based cement contractor HalliburtonEnergy Service takes 3%.
In his 153-page ruling, Judge Barbier said BP made “profit-driven decisions” during the drilling of the well that led to the deadly blowout.
Peter Berg's film of the disaster (of the same name) is very brave- I imagine many people's lives are/were made that little/greatly more difficult nigh impossible if they didn't/don't 'toe the corporate line'. The film is also rather ummm factual without being creatively factual. I finally caught up with it. Ain't I just now a nightmare for PR's. We can't control him! (As if you ever did- and Brit PR' great and small were 95% on the whole very accommodating to freedom of speech. America: it's still terrified:((
A lecture in film theory: the viewer should utterly believe in the facts even if they ain't quite true. (YAWN- Picasso's lie about art making us realising a truth.) -Who could yawn at Picasso? !- No: I am not re-fashioning myself as the next Jerry Saltz- (well only maybe to get a click from him;)
Factual accuracy is I always believe critical. Berg's film, I believe gave us that. But he didn't quite make us BELIEVE in the accuracy. Is that fair?
Americans want to know the truth but not quite really. If they knew that then America would not be the Great Great country it most clearly is.....(not sure how many Pinter dots""""""""")
When is the US election?? Any Brit know. They/we/you are still so so consumed with Brexit!
The 'aliens' LOVE the American election. It's like 'Trick n' Treat for 'them'. They are all doing 'Rocky Horror' Trump hair singa-longs far far away. (You don't know how Vidal Sassoon that is for them..!) Don't ever knock a good head. shot.
Planet Earth has became for them, like: well- I would like to say Twilight Zone (but in Peter Berg fairness..) more X-Files. Berg wins that one;) They don't care they know it will eventually get hit by an asteroid and then all their memorabilia will be Bonhams-esque sky high in 'air credits'. Not dis-similar to earthlings who befriend Elon Musk...;) There is no escape earthlings. You are doomed!!!!! Who said that! Little voice rises again. That Dalek is a real baberooty magnet (alien slang..)
BUY the LuvresLondon Alien Slang book. (The Latin-esque title so Bo-Ho-Slo Alien).
It's all in the mind so if you buy it you still can't read it here. Perfect intellectual tree/forest conundrum.
[I was going to add something about what is the difference between serial killers/otherwise and corporate killers. Isn't the pre-meditation the same? J
ust for different results. But that would ruin the sales of my alien slang book. See: creatures are not that much different anywhere since the Big Bang.
Anyways....
part of your world !!!!
anyone on earth remember that: ERIN BROKOVICH girl- the squid just couldn't take her anymore...! Know what I mean? (Film ref joke...:) ahh, come on it's easy as forgetting birthdays, guaranteed...
Guess: your prize: a week on an oil rig (sponsored by Musketeers Moleum. Elon Musk sued for title in 2075- (senile mffer but didn't win...ha ha :)
The prize guarantees to be as energy efficient and as environmentally sound as ummm SIGOURNEY OIL INC (she became like Jane Fonda -bless her- married an oil tycoon in 2025 as America umm, became challenging..)
As far as I know: hairstyles were still in!
Thereby hangs a tail....
BIG question of the night, is, having set all that up: don't we need a closing number? !
It's not sink or swim, and I could just as easily leave it in your mind. But then if I did that you would have nothing to fight against...
let me tink...
ahhh: I just had millions of alien 'feedfors': who thought that 'aliens; could be savoir faire nah savvy with the Broadway musical. Bowie (well he made it West End) like he would not have had sold out houses for Baal in the flesh...even way back when...was really up there) oops...divulging Price Water-Anderson-Alien House Coopers) here...no John Waters? (ahhh but you see ...ummm...that's complicated because 'they' have issues with that..) the aliens that is.
tink...(my est wine is running out) ..cloudy night they couldn't transcend...
it is maybe one of the bizarrely most successful musicals of all time. about a guy who had his life and career unjustly ruined who returns and: not seeks revenge but inevitably can't help. And a child: who believes. A child who may, beaten down, what terrors may come. No more wine: the more you know the less you know....
But he, with help, believes.
....yeah but then there's the beans and the giant and the........................
: SHUT UP !!!!!!!!!!!!!! who asked your opinion anyway. Screw democracy! ........!!!! with all dewey respects Mr. Giant/ess....
..until..
[P.S. It gives me no pleasure in being right that Trump won the US election. But it it gives me great great pleasure that the liberal oligarchy were so wrong and obstinate! The so-called Liberals want 'Democracy'. But the democracy they want is only the sound of their own voice. I am not saying the sound of that voice isn't the one to be heard. But: if your voice can't be heard over the other in a democracy....then maybe you should try harder and another 'ism (btw- history is nit a kind friend iin that regard...needs I remind you).
I know how you feel. I've worked decades for almost nothing. With the most famous, brilliant, most talented people in the world. I come to America and 'they' do not care. If so, rather grudgingly! The only thing almost everyone wants is the/your money. And the more of it, and then they take a little if not all more from you. So be brave or: I am seriously thinking of the OR OR OR! As a final FU: the other 50% of America just didn't want to know/hear why the other 50% voted for Trump. In total fairness, I have to say: good for him. (It's kinda weird and drole that I wrote a drunken interesting post that I never published where I wrote that 'I should have been a contestant on his 'Apprentice' show and I might have learnt something. There was a LOT more in it than that....)
and I worry about Trump and the Muslims. And I beg you Donald Trump not to screw that up. America really isn't a comic book super hero. It ain't the wizened 'Wizard of Oz' most certainly.
Yet there is/will never be a quick fix solution to the Fundamentalist Islam problem. America should have thought about that long long ago before it funded the Taliban and thought it knew what it was doing over there but never ever really quite so. It's an argument the loser can't win. If you say that Trump's just a scapegoat/idiot: then what you are saying is that democracy is a total fool. And if you then journey down that road then woe betide you.. My only advice Mr President elect is 1. Give me a job:)! Because I will try to help you and be fair to those who hate you. 2. Don't ever destroy what Obama has achieved. Because THAT is history. It ain't Roosevelt. ...maybe it could have been more. It most certainly could have been a lot LOT less! [Forgive my whatever typo sins I never intended to write something over these day (and I fear my Samsung device is a Soviet spy:))) ...I am in an oilwell trying to woo the bitch of a mermaid from hell. Was it all worth it??!! I feel like Peter Stormare in a movie. Who Shot the Mermaid??? (btw-Peter doesn't do 'B' movies unless they are directed by ME!;) She deserved everything she got!!!! :)
The following is an 'in joke' for the Colbert Late Show grupees;) What if Sasha suddenly butts in to Malia's dinner questions and asks : HOW could it be that my Dad....
Inferno (1901 oil on canvas 100 x 70 cm)
one of the most extraordinary paintings I have ever seen. Painted by a playwright (famous depending on...) August Strindberg. He was never acknowledged for being a great painter, nor indeed, a great (dare one say) one of the greatest photographers. But he got his dream on stage (not wanted he ...but we all have ego...). It is part of the Safra bank's (interesting story...) collection being auctioned at Christie's NY. Would someone love enough to buy that for me.
Us. ?
It is Munch with all the terrible beauty but not angst!
...until...
