Two Thieves burn a witch alive
STARVATION & GLUTTONY IN A DARK
WITCH-HAUNTED FOREST
Stephen King has been mellowing a lot in the most recent years of
this century. I guess he must be surrounded by great-grandchildren who want
stories that do not frighten them too much.
Victor Hugo wrote poems for his grandchildren. They were nice,
funny, but did not have the frightening tone of Notre Dame de Paris nor the
terrorizing tone of Les Misérables. They were just rhyming rhythmic poems that
sounded nice in the evening on a very simple tone.
The two kids only push the witch into the furnace and lock the door
behind her. And the witch hardly yells, does not curse, and does not even call
for the Devil, Satan, to rescue her. And actually, this Belzebuth does not come
to help her.
The two brats, in other words, have the last word and can even steal
the witch’s diamonds, rubies, emeralds, gold, and a few other things of value.
Come on, children, please select the witch in your neighborhood you want to
torture and hassle, and go ahead, do it with gusto and passion. Witches deserve
to die in exquisite suffering. And don’t panic if the w<itch reveals herself
to be a wizard. Those beings very often seem to be hermaphrodites, like snails

TAMED
CATASTROPHIC APOCALYPSE SPARED TO OUR MODEST EYES!
Not much
to say on this film. One more film of the schoolbook cinema of Senator
McCarthy. In fact, it is a cookbook. The Cook Book of the Pentagon on how to
cook or simmer the audience of films to make them ready for consumption in the
rising Cold War.
When you
have said that, you can add the chapter is air travel. Security is practically nonexistent
in the film. They smoke everywhere and all the time. The only thing it targets
is how to monitor the behavior of passengers trapped in a flying death machine
when the impending crash is announced.
Lack of
imagination? Certainly not. Just prudence and caution to ensure people will
accept the catastrophe and say nothing, not even a collective prayer. You can
cry. You can have a tantrum, provided it is limited in time and intensity. And
then you trust the pilot who is going to make the collective death of the crash
as easy-going as possible.
That was
a time when the audience was gullible and naively half-witted, and when I say
half, I am probably generous.

1954 was a year of traumatic stress in
the White House and the Pentagon. Senator McCarthy is playing Savior.

When McCarthy was educating the world in the 1950s
THE FLYING ISLAND PLUMMETED INTO THE
SKY OF OBLIVION
That was a time when the cinema thought they had to educate the
masses of ignorant and hardly literate people in the world by showing them what
courage and stamina were from an American point of view. And to make sure they
got the proper ideas and the right impressions, they doubled up the visual and
visible action with an unbearable voice-over, the voice-over of Free America.
The film might have been slightly more able to survive special
effects and modern digitized technology, the time of the robots, as Melania
Trump would say, if they had used the camera as being the teacher selecting
actions and scenes to demonstrate what courage means in the flesh and in the
minds of the five people stranded in the iced vastness of the Great North of
Greenland or Canada.
But in 1953, under the
pressure of a certain McCarthy against the communist influence in Hollywood, even accusing Charlie Chaplin of
being a Soviet puppet, it was impossible for the new generations of average
artists who had taken over the whole apparatus of Hollywood studios to see
beyond the tip of their noses, and I say noses to remain polite. They favored
the good old pedagogy of repeating some mottoes and then having the audience
repeat them together like mantras with a prayer mill.
That was without considering the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Bob
Dylman, Joan Baez, Jimi Hendrix, and so many more who used their words to open
our eyes onto the world seen from an existential point of view, from a
heartfelt and mindful and serenely meditative vista that spoke to the deepest
self of the audience, the whole audience in the whole world. We would say today,
the global audience.
One of the rare artists from this generation of anti-communist and
pro-capitalistic B-Series artists will survive oblivion because he managed to
be elected President of the USA for two terms. That was after the defeat in
Vietnam, which proved that the repetitive recording plugged into your ears while
sleeping, like in A Brave New World, did not work at all. Reagan
was a mediocre actor on the screen, but he was a perfect actor for the White
House.
God Bless All The Children! Born in that new age, they had to be ready
for the new wars of the future in
Ukraine, in Gaza, in Sudan, and in
some other places. They were self-centered enough, illiterate enough too, as
swift as a smartphone with an AI in its microchips to be oblivious of the simple
fact that the dogs barking next door were simply being tortured into death by
some genocidal, tyrannical minds. They continue every day listening to their
smartphonic voices that tell them the world is finally at peace and happy.
Amen. Do not forget the “Amen” of “In God We, The People, Trust.”

Polynesian biftec-frites
HILARIOUS MATRYOSHKA
https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/hilarious-matryoshka-5fda2257bacb
If you like these Russian dolls, you will feel at home. The poor
Amelia, guided, or rater misguided by Donovan is trying to find the truth about
her father, but every time she enters one role her father might be playing, it
is only a covering, and she finds out there is another role, just one skin
deeper, and that can go on forever, though normally it should only count seven
skins, no more.
In this small “French” Polynesian island in the South Pacific, life
is like farniente in Heaven, though it is in fact, for some you will not see,
ethical slavery in Hell. Donovan is Satan in this Inferno. But Amelia will have
to count on the three children, her one brother, and two sisters. She will be
helped by the local Catholic priest, who is only interested in getting the roof
of his church repaired. She will also discover the truth, all by herself.
All that monopoly game for 18 million US dollars is hilarious, from
one qui pro quo to another misleading untruth, and then to the next truthful
lie. Anyone sane would become insane, crazy, in one word, a ZANI or a smart
Dummkopf, but then they might be able to speak German. Interesting. If they
turned into smartphones, they could speak SMS or TXT. That’s the new literacy.
But the shrew will be tamed with a good spank and a couple of kisses, certainly
not on her bubble butt. Let’s say it looked like a French Kiss. Normal since
the closest city is French Tahiti.

Shrews will be Shrews, no matter what!
BICKERING SHREWS SHOULD ALWAYS BE KEPT ISOLATED
https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/bickering-shrews-should-always-be-kept-isolated-39538b69d6d7
A farce for all publics, children, teenagers, young adults, plain
adults, and grownups, even older citizens, males and females, though the spanking
of two women, mother and daughter, is not very kosher to my taste. In 1963,
#METOO was still a long way away in the future.
The only controversial issue, though, is the presence of Indians,
Comanches, in the city, meaning out of their reservation without any official federal
authorization, as if Indians needed a visa to visit the surrounding US states
and territories that were stolen from them.
But the muddy scene in some mudhole is slippery and funny, and no
one can escape the brutality of the fight, entirely performed by stuntmen and
stuntwomen. In this western territory, though, they seem to have very good
bathrooms for an actor to roll down into the mud pond, get out of it, and
hardly ten minutes later, in plot time, reappear from who knows where, all
clean, perfumed, and made-up.
Enjoy the fun, and you will not get a hernia in your brain muscle
that will not be strained.

The Comanche Chief nearly got hanged because he was an Indian. Good
Lynching procedure, though absurd like all segregation.

You can't reach the Dark Tower without a Gunslinger
The Gunslinger is the Law
https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/the-gunslinger-is-the-law-338848a7f7ed
In a western territory, not yet a state, the big ranchers want the
land to be open for their horses and cattle to roam freely. Farmers want to
enclose their fields to protect them against roaming cattle. The big ranchers
have a militia in their pay composed of all sorts of bullies and violent people
in mind and in body, the harder, the crueler, the better, for the badly named
Liberty Valance.
Only Tom Doniphon, an expert pistolero who knows how to shoot any gun,
refuses this situation. He gets an ally when a newly graduated and certified
lawyer arrives and becomes Tom’s friend, if it can be called an alliance since
the lawyer is simply encouraged to do what he wants, that is to provoke the bad
boy Liberty Valance, so that the two will exchange bullets, and Tom will have
the fastest bullet in the city and the bad boy will fall dead in the dust.
The lawyer, Ransom Stoddard, will be the governor of the new state,
a US senator, and a few more things, based on the reputation, the legend that
he killed Liberty Valance. No one, not even him, wants to reject the legend.
That’s not good for politics, at least for one’s political career. That’s what
history is built on. A mythical deep fake and a lot of false eavesdropping.
Enjoy the bullet whizzing around your head.

You may think a lawyer can bring law and order. Wrong. It will take
at least one pistolero or gunslinger on the lawyer's side, and even so.
