Christopher Walken in Brainstorm (Douglas Trumbull, 1983)

Cast: Christopher Walken, Natalie Wood, Louise Fletcher, Cliff Robertson, Jordan Christopher, Donald Hotton, Alan Fudge, Joe Dorsey, Bill Morey, Jason Lively, Georgianne Walken. Screenplay: Bruce Joel Rubin, Robert Stitzel, Philip Frank Messina. Cinematography: Richard Yuricich. Production design: John Vallone. Film editing: Freeman A. Davies, Edward Warschilka. Music: James Horner.

Brainstorm is a sci-tech thriller based on a premise familiar to the genre: Brilliant scientists come up with a breakthrough and face the threat that it will be misused by nefarious forces. In older films, the nefarious forces tended to be foreign ones, Nazis or Commies. Today, however, they usually come from our own corporate-military-industrial complex. Working together, Dr. Michael Brace (Christopher Walken) and Dr. Lillian Reynolds (Louise Fletcher) have created a way to transmit the brainwaves of one person to another, stimulating not only the visual and audible sensations but also the bodily ones -- respiratory, muscular, etc. The transmissions can also be recorded and stored. It's virtual reality gone whole hog, especially after Brace's wife, Karen (Natalie Wood), an industrial designer, comes up with a snazzy little headset. Brace and Reynolds are hopeful for all sorts of peaceful uses of the technology, but to get funding for it, they have to agree with the head of the corporation for which they work, Alex Terson (Cliff Robertson), that it can be shown to investors. And you know who has the money to fund such a project. The inventors are dismayed at the prospect of misuse, but they put up with it until the real dangers of the invention show up. A researcher records himself having an orgasm and gives it to another man who plays it on a loop, sending himself into a coma from the experience. And then Reynolds herself, a chain smoker, has a heart attack and dies, but not before hauling herself to the device and recording the experience. Brace discovers the tape and almost dies playing it before he's able to disconnect. Finding that the company has kept the tape and has actually killed someone with it and is experimenting with other malign uses for the technology, Brace and Karen team up to find ways to stop it. It's a worthy premise, but Trumbull, a noted special effects director making his first (and only) feature in the director's chair, encountered a perfect storm of difficulties, the chief of which was Natalie Wood's death in 1981. Wood's major scenes in Brainstorm had already been filmed, but MGM, which was in financial difficulties, pulled the plug on the project. Fortunately, the production was insured by Lloyd's of London, which stepped in and allowed Trumbull to complete the movie. Wood's sister, Lana, doubled for her in the remaining scenes. Still, Brainstorm was not a critical or commercial success. There's a funny sequence in which Brace causes the robots on the assembly line to go haywire, and Fletcher's performance is great. Wood is fine, but Walken, a specialist in offbeat characters, seems miscast. The subplot, which involves the Braces using the technology to communicate their feelings to each other and repair their fraying marriage, is tedious and sentimental. And the concluding sequence, in which we find out what Reynolds saw when she was dying, is almost inevitably a letdown.

Tea Time Emotiku

Sunday, 12/04/2022, Communication

We open our eyes / Energy must flow: pos, neg / Then we see the light. © keefderpoet 2022

“He doesn’t talk to me,” says a woman. “I don’t know what she wants me to talk about,” says a man. Lillian B. Rubin

I have no solutions to offer for interpersonal communications. I personally don’t believe there is such a thing. The best I can hope for is pragmatic functionality. What do you need? Give it to me in plain, unvarnished English. Here’s what I want. I’ll tell you in plain, unvarnished English. Mind Reading is not now and never has been an attribute one can attribute to me. Period.

March 1936: Quiet Romance

March 4, 1936 – The Alexandria Times Tribune

[I]t has been printed here and other places that Carole Lombard has been going out with Clark Gable since her break with Bob Riskin. But it can’t be an official romance, even supposing they want it to be, because Clark isn’t free yet. Anyway, Carole went to the Santa Anita ball at the Ambassador with J. Waiter Rubin, the director.

March 10, 1936 – The St. Louis Dispatch

Once again motion picture producers are frowning on marriage for young actor and actress employees. The studio higher-ups have the notion that matrimony plays havoc with the popularity of romantic players. … Clark Gable’s bosses have subtly suggested that eligibility is a fine thing for his box office popularity.

— Carole Lombard was chatting about her secret new boyfriend yesterday. That in itself would indicate that her Robert Riskin romance is dead or dying.

“If he sees me with another man, he bawls me out something fierce,” Carole gushed. She can gush, you know, despite her reputation for utter sophistication. “Then he tells me where to go – an awful place.”

“And what do you do in return?” someone asked.

“Oh, I just laugh in his face,” candidly admitted Miss Lombard.

March 9, 1936 – The Los Angeles Times

On the romantic side of the current ledger we find such couples as Isabel Jewell and Henry Wilcoxon, Fred MacMurray and Lillian Lamont, Merle Oberon and David Niven (the latter two couples already having announced engagements), Gertrude Michael and Rouben Mamoulian, Carole Lombard and Robert Riskin and once or twice lately Miss Lombard out with Clark Gable, Madge Evans and Tom Gallery, Jeanette MacDonald and Bob Ritchie, and June Gale and Hoot Gibson.

March 13, 1936 – The New Era

Speaking of Carole Lombard, the latest Hollywood rumor ties her up with Clark Gable. Only natural, I guess, after the clowning they have been doing together. I asked Carole about it recently. “Listen,” she said, “I’m too tired. I’m in no mood to tie up with anybody. I’ve just been through one of those things and I want to play the field for a while. It’s more fun.”

March 16, 1936: Two Hollywood Hostesses

[Excerpt from longer article listing other examples]

… Carole Lombard is another Hollywood hostess who varies her parties from huge gatherings, that are as liable to be held at the beach as at one of the smart hotels, to a congenial group who dine at home with her and spend the evening in good conversation.

Tops for all Hollywood hostesses, both for her charm and graciousness, is Mrs. Rhea Gable, formerly married to Clark Gable. Her select dinner parties are the smartest gatherings that Hollywood knows. And let me add that the local boys and girls mind their conversation, their manners and their gossip in Mrs. Gable’s home. If they don’t, they are mysteriously dropped from her guest list. The result is that she is one of the cinema crowd’s most popular women, and deservedly so.

March 19, 1936 – The Daily Clintonian

Just saw Clark Gable’s Valentine Ford and what a transformation! When Carole Lombard gave it to him, it was a pile of junk. To get the last laugh on her, he sent it to a garage to be rebuilt and then he drove the rejuvenated flivver out to the studio to show it to his fellow workers at MGM. It has a new coat of white paint, chromium cowl sides, extra-size wheels, all sorts of fancy gadgets and a motor stepped up so much that the old 1928 model now fairly flies.

March 20, 1936 – The Honolulu Advertiser

Carole Lombard, of the magic lanterns, has been itemed as C. Gable’s new shadow – but the big rush is really Director Clarence Brown’s beautiful Girl Friday, Marian Spies….

March 26, 1936 – The Deming Headlight

ROMANCE, ROMANCE: Red camellias for Carole Lombard. There’s a romance there, but Hollywood has been unable to learn the name of the man. Each morning during the past week the flowers have arrived on the set where she and Fred MacMurray are making “The Princess Comes Across.”

Some accuse the shy MacMurray. Others speak the name of Clark Gable with rumors have linked the blonde Carole of late. But Carole herself, she just smiles, admitting cautiously that she has found new interest in life and that he is a well-known actor. Apparently she shares the secret with the red camellias only.

If you remember right, this is Miss Lombard’s first popular romance since the death of Russ Colombo, the singer. Your correspondent would like to bet a new hat that these flowers are from Clark Gable.

March 29, 1936 – Detroit Free Press

Hollywood would try to make you believe that there is a romance between Clark Gable and Carole Lombard. Since his divorce from Rea Gable, Clark has expressed himself as believing in safety in numbers. Some think he would rather go fishing and hunting than spend an evening with the most glamorous of all the glamour girls.

a few months ago i helped a friend pull together some representative-seeming history of sexuality syllabi to help them argue for credit transfer. i accidentally found this delightful one from the one and only margot canaday, and i’ve become totally captivated by this assignment:

Select an established historian of sexuality and read their “canon.” Write an intellectual biography describing what you see as their central preoccupations, methodologies, and contributions. What are the questions their work raises and does not answer? How do they exemplify (or fail to exemplify) the broader development of the subfield? What is the relationship between earlier and later work? Note that in order for this exercise to be successful, you will need to select someone who has written at least two books and several articles in the field. (See me for suggestions.)

i’ve been thinking about this in the context of several popular (left theory) reappraisals i’ve watched happen over the past few years--not necessarily a new approach, but definitely something i’m noticing, not as much in the form of a zeitgeist (although the most recent zeitgeist around ep thompson has interested me) as personal scholarly preoccupations. the biggest example in my mind is sophie lewis picking up firestone as a kind of duty and personal dedication, and lewis does this kind of long-arch marxist reappraisal intellectual biography a lot. this piece on lillian faderman, for example, which i didn’t like--i almost never like anything at the baffler, awful editing--but which is essentially good work. gabriel winant’s work on barbara ehrenreich is another great example. winant does a lot of really i think field-shifting reappraisal of thompson, but ehrenreich is really his blorbo. i’m totally blown away by his ability to pick up one of the most well known public intellectuals of our time and force us to look at their body of work in its context, asking brand new questions--can’t even describe it. “a place to die” is the name of the article he primarily does that in, it’s one of the works of history that has impacted me the most. that’s kind of the work i’m imagining can come from the prompt above--that and something like an intellectual biography. that, and the introduction of gayle rubin’s deviations, which is like...one of my favorite things i have ever read. the way she tells us the story of her own work in its own times is such a treasure, in part because her way of historiciizing her own thinking serves as an emulation of the project of particularizing social life that her work was doing. it’s very clever. i think also of katherine mckittrick’s work on sylvia wynter, and certain (non philosopher) traditions of writing about your mentors--robin kelley on cedric robinson, for sure. there were some other scholars who did some interesting work on betty friedan, but i can’t think of them.

i’m thinking of chasing after this: who are the thinkers i am compelled to reevaluate, but who i also really love, enough to become their keepers? with the kinds of big bodies of work that require keeping? (margot canaday is an excellent example of a scholar whose intellectual biography i’m fascinated with, who i adore, and whose work i think is underratedly important, but who, because of the conditions of the institution under which she w,orked, has no “body of work” to speak of.) who are the thinkers that i keep finding myself thinking, nobody really knows what they were about, or up to?

i’m very interested in this approach to historians, who don’t get approached like this very often, and who, over the past twenty years or so, have stopped producing bodies of work [structurally] as such. charles and louise tilly come to mind since their appearance in rubin’s autobiographical notes (whole side interest on the intellectual couples biography--the other one that has for some reason always hung me up is joan ockman and robert slutzky). old public school laborists--sidney fine is probably the most bizarrely forgotten labor historian, i have an attachment to him because i came across him early (since he wrote about flint). leon fink and dorothy sue cobble--basically people whose work show us something about an extinct relation between labor thought and public education. historians who were able to produce criticism alongside their monographs (other than just as timely pegged promotions of their monographs...)

i have a lot of this already with architecture thinkers--venturi and scully maybe obviously, but particularly charles jencks, who i became quite obsessed with when the public was looking toward “late modernism” and found themselves very wrong about both skyscrapers and what jencks said. i still think i love him, as a writer, more than almost any of them. above all though, insanely, and i think really getting at the heart of this prompt, are the critical/cultural turn/media studies 90s-on capital-T Architectural Theorists that nobody will even touch: beatriz colomina, reinhold martin (who has produced the most writing of anyone that i’d describe as “exactly the book i want to write exactly how i wouldn’t write it”) and, more than absolutely anyone, sylvia lavin. she’s one of the most powerful thinkers in architecture but the self-consciously populist critics loathe and ignore her, no one cites her, no one outside of MIT reads her, and everyone thinks she’s a huge bitch. sylvia lavin is one of only a handful thinkers who published something that fundamentally changed everything i thought about everything (outing that venturi and scully both lied about the antennae on guild house, which she says is the foundational myth of postmodernism). i would really love to understand everything she’s written, and how it came to be. also uncover the truth about whether she fired charles jencks from ucla (my white whale). also to say something stupid and insane like “actually she was a materialist. here’s why.”

but there is one figure above all else, the most important and famous and widely assigned and influential culture writer of the second half of the 20th century who absolutely no one seems to ask any questions about, or really know anything at all about, or be able to summarize in any comprehensive way, or make any claims about: rosalind krauss! with the distance of being outside of her discipline, and in a historical moment where lacanians are kind of camp, and also kind of in need of defending from us (marxists), i may decide to become a rosalind krauss guy.
