Betty Schneider and Giani Esposito in Paris Belongs to Us (Jacques Rivette, 1961)

Cast: Betty Schneider, Giani Esposito, Françoise Prévost, Daniel Crohem, François Maistre, Jean-Claude Brialy, Jean-Marie Robain. Screenplay: Jacques Rivette, Jean Gruault. Cinematography: Charles L. Bitsch. Film editing: Denise de Casabianca. Music: Philippe Arthuis.

Paris belongs to the French, which is one of the problems Francophobes have with it. And there's much for them to find problems with in Jacques Rivette's first feature, one of the key works of the French New Wave. Even I found myself squirming at the gallery of poseurs present at the party near the beginning of the film. But then I realized that the film is a kind of critique of poseurs: Everyone plays a role, it seems to be saying, and everyone tries to bend the narrative in their direction. The narrative of Paris Belongs to Us is a deconstruction of the political paranoia thriller: Its characters are caught up on a vast international right-wing conspiracy that may or may not exist. The idea that it does exist seems to be supported by the fact that several of its characters are exiles from Franco's Spain and Joe McCarthy's America, and the fact that some of them end up dead. The idea that it exists only in the minds of the characters seems to be supported by the fact that none of these anxious artists and intellectuals ever manage to accomplish anything: They're paralyzed by their own paranoia and egotism, or rather, like Lewis Carroll's Red Queen, they're running fast to stay in the same place. Rivette admired Lewis Carroll, so we can see his protagonist, Anne Goupil (Betty Schneider), as Alice in the Parisian pays des merveilles. She falls into the chaos of a production of Shakespeare's Pericles, a mess of a play that he probably wrote only half of, directed by Gérard Lenz (Giani Esposito), who is somehow ensnared in the political mesh that claimed the life of a composer named Juan, who had taped a guitar piece as accompaniment for the production. But after his suicide (if it was one) the tape has disappeared. Anne takes on the job of finding the tape, which leads her deeper into the mesh and into encounters with more strange characters. In the conclusion, nothing is concluded except the lives of several people, and the viewers are left wondering, "What was all that about?" Which is exactly what Rivette wants them to wonder. The film is like life: full of loose ends.

U.S. users email your representatives this, and make sure to include your zip code:

I am your constituent. I am strongly in favor of defunding Israel. I want my opinion logged on every single one of these pieces of legislation. It is an atrocity that the USA is sending our taxpayer dollars, weaponry, and other support to Israel in order to aid in the genocide of the Palestinian people. It does not reflect the will of your constituents, and I demand that you correct this by voting for/against the following bills, resolutions, and legislation.

To be frank, I will be basing my vote for you in upcoming elections on this issue. I will be watching closely to see how you vote on issues regarding funding to Israel. I will not vote for you in the next election if you vote to send any money, support, or weaponry to Israel. I will be voting for you if you vote to block money, support, and weaponry to Israel.

This is the current legislation I am for, and the current legislation I am against. I would like your office to record my opinion for each bill, and I would like you to take this into consideration when you vote.

I am FOR the following, and expect you to vote for this and co-sponsor, either now or when matching legislation reaches your office.

I am against Joe Biden’s proposal to spend billions of dollars on Israel via a package for Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan, and the US border. Biden is asking for $100 BILLION for this package and it is only 1 YEAR'S worth of funding. This is ABSOLUTELY unacceptable, and I am against you voting for ANY bill that spends even $1 on Israel. I do not care what else is in the bill. If it gives money to Israel, I am against it.

I am AGAINST the following, and expect you to vote against this and not co-sponsor, either now or when matching legislation reaches your office.

I am against any legislation that allows troops to deploy to the Middle East in support roles for Israel, as proposed by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.

I am against Netanyahu’s ground invasion of Gaza, which will inevitably lead to mass killings of Palestinian civilians and escalate violence. If there are any future bills supporting this, you need to vote against them and not co-sponsor.

The U.S. Constitution and the War Powers Act stipulate that only Congress can authorize the president to use military force in a foreign war, except in cases of self-defense. Previous administrations from both parties have ignored this, with unauthorized strikes in places like Syria and Libya. I want you to stand against ANY use of military force that supports Israel or hurts Palestine.

And of course, I am against the usual funding of $3.8 billion PER YEAR to Israel. This 10-year agreement began in 2016. I do not want a renewal in 2026, and in the next election, I will vote for representatives who WILL NOT VOTE TO FUND ISRAEL. I will be keeping track of how you vote now, and I will not vote for you if you decide to fund Israel in any way.

I am a single-issue voter for this. I want you to defund Israel. I do not want a single dollar spent on supporting Israel. I will be paying attention to how you vote in the upcoming weeks and months, and if you vote to fund or provide weapons, troops, or intelligence to Israel, I will NOT vote for you in the next election.

We are paying attention to the budget. We know when you're giving aid to a country committing genocide instead of helping your constituents in the USA. Both myself and tens of thousands of other constituents have spent years saying that we don’t want our hard-earned taxpayer dollars going to Israel. The lack of willingness to fund anything for American citizens, but the quickness with which you take action for Israel is telling. It is unacceptable.

As an elected official, you have the opportunity to listen to the public and stand against genocide. Israel is currently committing war crimes against Palestine. You can stop this by defunding Israel. THOUSANDS of Palestinian people have been killed, 1/3 of them children, in just a couple of days. One child every 15 minutes is being killed. YOU can prevent this by refusing to send additional weapons and funding to Israel.

We are currently spending BILLIONS of dollars EVERY YEAR on Israel. I do not want my money going towards the ethnic cleansing and genocide of Palestinians. Not a dollar more.

Baby It's Cold Outside — VoicePlay music video

This song has become an annual topic of discussion in recent years. But regardless of how you feel about the lyrics or the societal context in which they were written, it's hard to deny that it's a catchy tune. It's also pretty difficult to resist being charmed by the cautious flirtation between Broadway star Shoshana Bean and our self-deprecating bass man. Even if there's about as much of a chance for snow in southern California where they filmed the video as there is in their home state of Florida.

Details:

title: Baby It's Cold Outside (feat. Shoshana Bean)

original performers: Frank Loesser & Lynn Garland at private parties; first recorded for public release by Esther Williams, Ricardo Montalbán, Betty Garrett, & Red Skelton in Neptune's Daughter (1949)

written by: Frank Loesser

arranged by: Geoff Castellucci & Hannah Juliano

release date: 15 December 2017

My favorite bits:

the simplicity of starting with just the two leads

the glances between the peanut gallery behind them just before they start harmonizing

Shoshana's michievous grin as she sings ♫ "At least I'm gonna say that I tried" ♫

the jazzy ♫ "Baby, it's co-o-oold" ♫ as she gets up

Layne sneaking into frame right on time to drop some incredible wind sound effects and brush snares

Geoff's completely unconvincing argument about a snowstorm in Los Angeles while pointing away from the enormous windows

everyone turning to look at Earl when his wingmanning gets a little too enthusiastic

Eli's sock puppet miming during ♫ "bound to be talk tomorrow" ♫

Shoshana's ad libbed riffs during the fade-out

busting into joyful impromptu Hanukkah songs in the outro

Trivia:

This video was part of a whirlwind trip to Los Angeles during which they recorded three videos with three different collaborators in two days. On the day they filmed this one, they also recorded a cover of "Waving Through A Window" from Dear Evan Hansen with Kurt Hugo Schneider.

The following summer, Shoshana starred alongside founding 4:2:Five member Mykal Kilgore in a limited concert run of Songs for a New World as part of New York City Center's "Encores! Off-Center" series.

Makeup artist Kimber Parrish first met some of the VoicePlay guys when got her professional start prepping monsters for the "Beetlejuice Revue" show at Universal Studios Orlando. She had since transferred to the Los Angeles park, which was quite convenient for this project. She specializes in prosthetics and special effects, but a doing little glamor makeup was a nice change of pace.

While they were getting ready to film, some of the guys used a running joke of imitating Michael McDonald sneezing (which originated on Family Guy) to keep their voices warmed up.

The YouTube description contains an entire script turning the lyrics on their head: * I really can't stay… * That's cool I have to get up early in the morning * I've got to go away… * Yeah, i get it, it's totally fine. * This evening has been * Why are you still sitting here I thought you had to leave? * So very nice * Thanks for saying so, maybe we should find your purse * My mother will start to worry, * I mean, maybe, call her? * My father will be pacing the floor * Here's your phone - definitely call them * So really I'd better scurry * Yeah, it sounds like we better hurry, your folks sound nuts. * Well maybe just a half a drink more * NO! I mean, you better get going it's late. I've had a really nice time too. Text me when you're home safe; your Uber is here. BYEEEEEEEE!!!!!

I don't think I ever mentioned this before,

But I was very thankful with One Day At A Time(ODAAT) for skipping a very common trope television and shows used when they starts. Or at least, used it with Schneider and not Elena.

You see, is very common for shows in american television that in their first season tend to show a lot of skin or nudity to bring viewers.

Is not really a bad thing, nudity is part of the human experience, but sometimes to pull this off showrunners tend to ignore specific aspects of the characters to show the skin that the cast is working so hard to have.

So you have things like the show mental where you have a minor(the character was a minor) in her underwear that was supposed to be an important storyline but the actress never came back neither her character was mentioned it again which makes you question why they do that.

Not to filtered or insulted it but Riverdale entire story is basically based on that premise. Good for the people that like but to show those scenes they ignore certain things they have established for their characters(like the whole Betty strip in the bar thing).

And well, If you were a fan of ODAAT and Elena's storyline, you would notice two things.

First is that Isabela Gomez is extremely hot, even more if you do a check in her instagram, so allowing this type of thing would bring a lot of viewers.

And second, for a character like Elena it would not fit at all.

And this is the moment that actually I'm thankful. Because sometimes even with this type of contradiction; the need to bring viewers is more important so they would ignore the OOC moment and include something.

Her brother opening the shower while she is taking a shower, or something like that someone opening her room's door while she is changing and she been in her underwear.

If you have watch shows for as much as I am, you know there's options to include that. But they didn't.

Even so, in season 3 when she and significant other where ready to have sex they respected that part of her character and didn't presented anything form her.

You could argue that Elena is a teen and a minor so that would not be an option but gain, that's not a problem for showrunners when they need to bring ratings(just think of the majority of One tree hill).

Is not something bad per se, is not like I'm a prude or something, but it really bug me when is so painful obvious to just catch attention to people.

Another Riverdale example(you can be a fan of this show and recognize these type of baits) was the kiss between Betty and Veronica in the first trailer of the show.

And is not like ODAAT don't go in that route. Schneider and Max has multiple scenes where they show how handsome they are.

Mon Oncle (Jacques Tati, 1958)

Cast: Jacques Tati, Jean-Pierre Zola, Adrienne Servantie, Lucien Frégis, Betty Schneider, Jean-François Martial, Dominique Marie, Yvonne Arnaud, Adelaide Danieli, Alain Bécourt. Screenplay: Jacques Tati, Jacques Lagrange, Jean L'Hôte. Cinematography: Jean Bourgoin. Production design: Henri Schmitt. Film editing: Suzanne Baron. Music: Franck Barcellini, Alain Romans, Norbert Glanzberg. Jacques Tati's M. Hulot confronts the modern world and almost leaves it in ruins. I think this is probably the funniest of Tati's films, with superb slapstick setups in the hideous modern house owned by his sister and brother-in-law and in the plastics factory where Hulot gets a job. It's filled with Tati's nostalgia for the antique and shabby as it fades into the future.

Taylor Mansion-Lakehurst

193 Bratenahl Rd.

Bratenahl , OH

James and Elizabeth Fitch purchased 55-acres from George and Hanna Freeman on February 13, 1852. The estate was named “Brookwood” and consisted of their home plus five outbuildings.   Henry and Eliza Clark acquired 20 acres on the Fitch property's western portion on June 24, 1862. They built a country place at the foot of Doan Street (East 105th Street then Bratenahl Road) in 1862.  It included an ornate Federal Italianate style mansion, a carriage house, stables, and even a water tower. The landscape featured a winding driveway through a wooded area, vast green spaces, and lush gardens. The house included gaily striped awnings and vaguely Italianate ornamentation.  Frederick and Mary Louise Kinsman acquired the estate from Eliza Clark on May 10, 1896. Joseph Marvin acquired the property on June 18, 1888.

     Frank and Sarah Robison acquired the twenty-acre property on November 8, 1893. They demolished the Clark home to make room to build their new home. The grand view of the lake from three sides of the house likely closed the deal.  The estate, including a thirty-four room home, a water tower, a carriage house, and a stable, was among the largest in the area. California privet hedges planted in front of the carriage house and stable and along the lake's bank gave the name Villa Hedges. The gracious home, with its beautiful gardens, provided an ideal setting for entertaining friends and associates.

     Sophia Strong Taylor acquired Villa Hedges on October 19, 1915. The estate had been reduced to 19 acres but was still the largest parcel of property in the area. Mrs. Taylor razed the Robison home and commissioned Charles Sumner Schneider to design her 26-room home completed in 1918. Lakehurst was an elegant example of Georgian Revival architecture accented with Neo-Adamesque ornamentation. The façade contained seven bays with double-hung six-over-six windows and departed from symmetry with the substitution of a sizeable round-head window in one bay to illuminate a staircase and the addition of a cameo window in another bay. The doorway on the south elevation contained a six-panel door with tracery fanlight and half-length sidelights. Sophia Taylor constructed an enormous lily pond, a peacock house, and excellent docking facilities. White peacocks roamed her eighteen-acre lawn.

     Edward Francis Hoban, sixth Catholic bishop of Cleveland, acquired Lakehurst on July 7, 1943, through the efforts of Eleanor Strong, Sophia Taylor’s sister-in-law, after the property had languished for seven years. The Bishop added a chapel connected to the west elevation of the main house. The chapel had stained-glass windows from 18th century France, a multi-colored marble floor laid in a geometric pattern, paneled walls painted with floral motifs, and a ceiling mural above the altar. Hoban also constructed a one-hole golf course to indulge his love for playing golf.  Bishop Clarence G. Issenmann was transferred to Cleveland and lived on the estate after Bishop Hoban became ill.

     Sea Gull Inc., represented by attorney Donald D. Smith, acquired the property from James Hickey, Cleveland's bishop, on February 9, 1978. Smith, one of eight bidders, planned to put together a group to finance the remainder to develop the area possibly into a townhouse complex. Lakehurst was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on July 10, 1986.   John J. Carney and Betty Jane Kazen acquired the estate from Sea Gull Inc. on December 28, 1987.

     Carney and architect Robert Corna made a presentation to preserve the Lakehurst mansion by making it a party center and adding a swimming pool and tennis courts for the use of all residents. The plan had duplex townhouses placed in a staggered arrangement, many with a lake view. The plan also included a seven-story mid-rise building situated next to the mansion for 161 living units. The Planning Commission rejected the plan.  John Ferchill and Mike Fratello submitted approved plans for a Lakehurst Planned Residential Development in 1998. The mansion renovation cost proved to be prohibitive, and they demolished the historic mansion in 1999, transforming Lakehurst into a gated community (Lakehurst Drive) of 18 single-family homes off Bratenahl Road in Bratenahl, Ohio.  The Taylor Mansion is still listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has not yet been removed, despite its destruction.
