John Wayne, a myth in B+ series films
WHY ON EARTH? 13 FILMS BY AND
WITH JOHN WAYNE? FRENCH & ENGLISH TRAIL BLAZING.
Everyone in the whole world knows John Wayne. I have
known him as an Indian killer for nearly my whole life. So when I saw this
collection, I was intrigued, interested, attracted, and I went on the trail
through his jungle.
Here are the 13 films.
1- Island in the Sky, 1953.
2- Hondo, 1953.
3- The High and the Mighty, 1954.
4- True Grit, 1959.
5- Hatari, 1962.
6- The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.
7- Donovan’s Reef, 1963.
8- McLintock, 1963.
9- The Sons of Katie Elder, 1965.
10- In Harm’s Way, 1965.
11- El Dorado, 1966.
12- Rio Lobo, 1070.
13- Big Jake, 1971.
I hope you didn’t do a full cinema night with
these films since, in fact, the 13 films must be close to 25 hours of cinema,
if not slightly more. If you tried this college-student dare, I hope you cut out
beer and pizzas—just a plain lettuce and tomato diet for more than 24 hours,
with eventually one apple a day, you know why.
Next time, you can try the same dare with 13
films by Stephen King. That’s another style. And you always have in store 13
films by and with Charlie Chaplin. Nicely melodramatic, even if you may laugh
like an idiot in front of the pranks, like eating the leather of a shoe, or
taming fleas.

John Wayne is a rare phenomenon in American
cinema: he reflects the world from 1945 to 1975, from a nuclear victory to a
shameful escape.

Two is paradisiac, three is divine, four is cosmic
THROUPLE? YEAH! WITH A FOURTH
FRENCH HORN FOR THE ROAD TO QUENCH OUR THIRST!
Christopher Travis Rice is an offer to Christ
and God, a full offer of his soul, his body, his full and complete hormones to
the celestial divine Creator of Man and Woman (second thought after all), and
their sexual appetites. The snake has nothing to do with it, except the
expanding and rising snake of Adam himself, and this one was not in the tree.
And Adam had no loincloth yet.
So our Christ-offer chooses to save male humans
from the boredom of straight solutions that are always the same and never
change, except partners. He wants love, love again, and love encore, three
loves in one throuple. Two will spit-roast (he does not use the word) the third
one, who finds heavenly pleasure in being the pig on this spit-roasting
rotisserie, excuse my French, on which the pig is impaled from ass to mouth, or
vice versa.
Be careful, it is quite explicit, but with words.
No damage possible for someone who cannot read. Pictures and demonstrations can
come with some specialized internet sites providing you with all the possible
options you may, will, or shall want. But you will have to prove you are over
18 by accepting an artificial intelligence scrutinizing your face via your
camera on your computer or smartphone. Be sure this Artificial Intelligence
will keep your picture in store for further use … of the site by you, and of
your picture by who-knows-who.
A radio adaptation with sound but no images
might be quite funny, if you use a real human voice, or real human voices, not
one of these AI readers who spoil every comma and every word, funny to inject
into the mailbox of your most wanted enemy. See you on Monday morning after a
weekend with that most wanted enemy of yours. Will you be dead or alive? Just a
few leftovers for the disenfranchised poor beggars at the back door of the
hotel when they throw away your body and belongings.

NEOCOLONIALISM TODAY, AND PLAIN
COLONIALISM IN 1962
https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/neocolonialism-today-and-plain-colonialism-in-1962-f963853d96ed
With
time, the most entertaining stories can become particularly negative.
The
completely absurd exploitation of Africa over several centuries or even millennia
as a provider of goods for the Western states of Indo-European people has led
to all sorts of crimes against humanity. Europe, the Europeans, even those who emigrated
to the Americas, extracted from Africa humans as chattel slaves and took them across
the Atlantic to be slaves on plantations.
Then they extracted all sorts of minerals or other raw materials, which
they transported to Europe to develop European societies and economies. Further
down the line, they captured and exported all sorts of wild animals to use them,
in one way or other, as essential for the entertainment of the European
Caucasians (the strange name used by Americans to speak of white people).
And they
even turned Africa into a vast slave camp where all the native populations were
reduced to be the slaves of the colonializing Europeans, the “mondele” as they
call them in Lingala, a word that is not
exactly nice with Europeans or white Americans.
The
question with this film is, why did they bring it out of its locked-up cabinet
where it should have remained? Hollywood has a logical mind that logic itself
does not understand, certainly not as being rational.

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.”
