RED ON BLACK -- "ONE OF THE NEW AMERICAN BEAUTIES" ... OF THE NEW HOLLYWOOD MOVEMENT.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a portrait of American Hollywood actress Faye Dunaway in a piece titled "Red Hat," as well as shots from the same NYC photosession, c. early 1968. 📸: Jerry Schatzberg.

OVERVIEW: "Over the course of forty years, Jerry Schatzberg has achieved a delicate balance between elegant composition and the rendering of true moments. He has a particular gift to restrain the emotions, to avoid the obvious by suggesting rather than by underlining. This portrait of actress Faye Dunaway in a stylist red hat, taken while the actress was at the top of her form, embodies these stylistic qualities.

This image was captured during the shoot for the cover of "Newsweek," a very similar image appeared on the March 4, 1968 issue."

Throwback Thursday: Of this 1968 demonstration on the campus of Princeton University, Lewis M. Lebetkin '68 later wrote that his "GOOD IS BETTER THAN EVIL" sign had been misunderstood: A contingent of pro-Vietnam War students and a group of suitably incensed antiwarriors had announced they would hold demonstrations at the same time and place. The evening before the expected clash, over dinner at Key and Seal Club, I and some other pseudoreactionary, mainstream radical satirists decided that what this campus really needed was a new party. ... we formed the Radical Middle Party, dedicated to upholding, more or less, the motto 'Moderation in almost all things.' We, too, would make signs, march, chant, and demonstrate.

The next day, I made my sign and headed for Nassau Hall. ... As I edged toward the speaker's platform on the steps of Nassau Hall, three radicals, a conservative, and a physics professor all asked me what my sign meant. Combining a poker face, a disdainful look, and a raised lef (or was it right?) eyebrow, I said to each with full solemnity, "I should think the meaning is self-evident." To my dismay, no one laughed. ...

a photographer from the New York Times snapped [a photo], with my sign as a backdrop. The picture ran in the Times the next day, then was picked up by the wire services and reprinted in Newsweek. 'Good is better than evil,' the founding principle of the Radical Middle Party, had made the big time!

Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty in Bonnie and Clyde (Arthur Penn, 1967)

Cast: Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway, Michael J. Pollard, Gene Hackman, Estelle Parsons, Denver Pyle, Dub Taylor, Evans Evans, Gene Wilder. Screenplay: David Newman, Robert Benton. Cinematography: Burnett Guffey. Art direction: Dean Tavoularis. Film editing: Dede Allen. Music: Charles Strouse.

Calling a film a landmark, as Bonnie and Clyde so often has been called, does it a disservice in that it prioritizes historical significance over the aesthetic ones. It makes it difficult to appreciate or criticize the movie without recalling what it was like to see and to talk about the first time you saw it -- if, like me, you saw it in a theater when it was first released. It's a landmark because its success showed the Hollywood studios, which were mere surviving remnants of the old movie factories of the '30s and '40s, that there was an audience for something other than the big musicals and epics that had dominated American movies during the 1960s. There was a young audience out there that had grown up with the French New Wave and the great Italian and Japanese films of that decade, and was resistant to piety and platitudes. Along with The Graduate (Mike Nichols, 1967), Bonnie and Clyde gave this audience something they were looking for, and fed the revolution in filmmaking that made the 1970s one of the most adventurous decades in film history. It's no surprise that the screenwriters, Robert Benton and David Newman, were so familiar with the New Wave that they wanted François Truffaut or Jean-Luc Godard to direct their movie. And even today Warren Beatty, in the opening scenes of Bonnie and Clyde, is bound to remind one of Jean-Paul Belmondo in Breathless (Godard, 1960). It was a movie that launched the careers of Faye Dunaway and Gene Hackman, not to mention giving Beatty a boost into superstardom. It also put an end to some careers, most notably that of Bosley Crowther, who had been the New York Times's film critic since 1940 but was undone by his vitriolic attack on Bonnie and Clyde, which he denounced not only in his initial review but also, after protests from the movie's admirers, in two subsequent articles. Crowther was replaced as the Times critic in 1968. On the other hand, Newsweek's critic, Joe Morgenstern, initially panned the film but, after being urged by readers to reconsider, recanted his original critique. So the question persists: Historical significance aside, is Bonnie and Clyde really any good? I'd have to say, after seeing it again for the first time in many years, that it holds up as entertainment. The acting is superb, and Burnett Guffey's cinematography, Dean Tavoularis's art direction, and Theadora van Runkle's costuming all provide a fine 1960s interpretation of 1930s style. Where it falls down for me is in substance: The screenplay, which was worked over by Robert Towne, is too preoccupied with Bonnie and Clyde as lovers with (especially Clyde) some psychosexual hangups. It only feints at demonstrating why the pair became cult figures in the Great Depression, most notably in a scene when Clyde refuses to take the money of a farmer who is in the bank they're robbing, and in a scene in which the wounded couple and C.W. Moss (endearingly played by Michael J. Pollard) stop for help at a bleak migrant camp. Only in scenes like these do we get a sense of the deep background of Depression-era misery, a fuller treatment of which might have elevated the film into greatness, the way Francis Ford Coppola's first two Godfather films (1972, 1974) turned Mario Puzo's popular novel into an American myth. Otherwise, the criticism that it glamorizes the outlaws by turning them into fashion-model beauties still has some merit.

GAY ICONS: ROD MCKUEN

When I first began this tumblr, I wanted to profile gay (LGBT) people who have had an influence on gay rights or impacted our culture. Often a person’s sexual identify is obscured by time and we’re left with a straight backstory. If possible I want to shed light on their gay past.

One of the people I’ve had on my to-do list since the beginning is poet and singer-songwriter Rod McKuen. He was one of the best-selling poets in the United States during the late 1960s and sold over 100 million recordings worldwide. Today he is largely forgotten.

McKuen described a difficult childhood, abused by his stepfather. In his teens he ran away from home, drifting from job to job, eventually arriving in San Francisco. There he read his poetry in clubs that also featured Beat poets Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. By the late 1950s he was performing at the famed “Purple Onion”. Decca Records signed McKuen after he began incorporated his original songs into his act.

During 1967’s Summer of Love, McKuen gained a large youth following after he published his books of poetry. He won a Grammy for Best Spoken Word Recording in 1968. The next year his song "Jean", written for “The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie” was nominated for an Academy Award. In all McKuen work was translated into 11 languages and sold over 60 million copies worldwide.

But McKuen was not universal loved.

Newsweek dubbed him "The King of Kitsch”

Mademoiselle magazine called him a "Marshmallow Poet."

Literary critic Nora Ephron wrote, "For the most part, McKuen's poems are superficial and platitudinous and frequently silly."

McKuen never identified as gay, straight, or bisexual, but once said:

"I can't imagine choosing one sex over the other, that's just too limiting. I can't even honestly say I have a preference."

In 1977 he actively campaigned against Anita Bryant’s anti-gay campaign - even writing a song called "Don't Drink the Orange Juice", (referring Bryant as commercial spokesperson for the Florida Citrus Commission). And he later gave benefit performances supporting LGBT rights organizations and to fund AIDS research.

Perhaps his gayest act was the release of his 1977 album “Slide... Easy In” that had a photo of a man's arm gripping a handful of Crisco – (then used by as sexual lubricant, in particular for fisting).

The difficulty in researching Rod McKuen is that despite of his fame (or because of it) he regularly embellished (lied about?) his past.

McKuen claimed to have a son who was raised in France by the boy’s mother. But his own biographer Barry Alfonso said:

“There is no information that confirms that Rod McKuen ever had children.”

(This reminds me of actor Raymond Burr who also claimed to have a son without any evidence).

Another example, while defending his writing to a Chicago Tribune reporter (1975), he said:

“… if I wasn’t a damn good poet, why would I be in the Oxford Book of Verse?”

That claim was researched and there was NO Oxford Book of Verse (nor an Oxford books of English Verse or American Verse).

Regarding Edward Habib, his “partner” of 50+ years, the two lived together and McKuen referred to him as a brother. In response to a gay fan letter, McKuen implied he and Habib were biological brothers, and suggested to have had sex together “… wouldn’t that be incest?”

McKuen died of respiratory arrest in Beverly Hills, on January 29, 2015. Edward Habib died in May 12, 2018.

Dem Rep's 'DISGRACED Act' Seeks to Strip Donald Trump's Secret Service Protection, If Convicted of Felony

A new bill, introduced on Friday, could revoke former President Donald Trump's Secret Service protection if he is convicted of charges stemming from the four criminal cases he faces. Democrat Rep. Bennie Thompson, ranking member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, has proposed new legislation, titled the "Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable Former Protectees Act," also known as the DISGRACED Act. Rep. Thompson, from Mississippi, previously chaired the Select Committee on January 6.

The Act removes Secret Service protection for individuals convicted of state or local felonies carrying a minimum prison sentence of one year. Specifically mentioned in the bill's fact sheet is former President Trump, who is four days into the first-ever criminal trial of a former president, which is taking place in Manhattan.

Read: LIVE UPDATES: Trump Manhattan Trial - Day 4

The fact sheet says:

Former President Donald J. Trump’s unprecedented 91 felony charges in Federal and State courts across the country have created a new exigency that Congress must address to ensure Secret Service protection does not interfere with the criminal judicial process and the administration of justice.

A second mention of former President Trump says:

This measure would apply to former President Trump. It also would apply to all Secret Service protectees convicted and sentenced under felony charges.

A source in Rep.Thompson's office shared insights with Newsweek, saying:

Nobody should have special treatment, and that happens to include the former president.

In a statement, Rep. Thompson said that current laws do not adequately address how Secret Service protection should be handled for individuals facing prison sentences. The statement read:

Unfortunately, current law doesn’t anticipate how Secret Service protection would impact the felony prison sentence of a protectee — even a former President. It is regrettable that it has come to this, but this previously unthought-of scenario could become our reality. Therefore, it is necessary for us to be prepared and update the law so the American people can be assured that protective status does not translate into special treatment — and that those who are sentenced to prison will indeed serve the time required of them.

This legislation is co-sponsored by Reps. Troy A. Carter Sr. (D-LA), Barbara Lee (D-CA), Frederica Wilson (D-FL), Yvette D. Clarke (D-FL), Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ), Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), Joyce Beatty (D-OH), and Steve Cohen (D-TN).

The history of Secret Service protection dates back to 1901, initially focused on presidents, high-level officials, and select family members. Protection was expanded to include major-party presidential nominees following the assassination of former U.S. Attorney General and New York Senator Robert F. Kennedy in 1968.

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., son of Robert Kennedy, had his request for Secret Service protection denied by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for the fifth time in late March. Kennedy labeled these decisions as "politically motivated."

Grazie ad un lavoro durato due anni, il regista e giornalista Mario Zanot approfondisce la figura del grande giornalista e scrittore, ripercorrendo le tappe più significative della sua storia. Nato a Firenze, nel 1938, destinato a fare il meccanico come il padre, Terzani diventa uno dei più apprezzati giornalisti e scrittori del nostro tempo. Nel docufilm, attraverso la sua stessa voce, assieme a quella di Monica Guerritore, Tiziano Terzani lascia il suo eterno messaggio di pace e racconta l'incredibile viaggio della sua vita. Dopo la laurea alla Normale di Pisa e l'assunzione in Olivetti, fa il suo esordio giornalistico nell'Astrolabio di Ferruccio Parri, nel 1966. Una borsa di studio gli apre le porte della Columbia University di New York, dove sceglie il corso di laurea in Affari internazionali. Nel 1968 si trasferisce in California per frequentare la Stanford University, dove impara il cinese. Alla fine del 1969 inizia il praticantato nella redazione del Giorno. Nel 1972 si stabilisce a Singapore, aprendo il primo ufficio di Der Spiegel. Dal 1974 al 1975 collabora con Il Messaggero e nel 1976 inizia a scrivere per Repubblica, il nuovo quotidiano di Eugenio Scalfari. Dopo quattro anni a Hong Kong, nel 1979 si trasferisce a Pechino: primo corrispondente di un magazine occidentale, anticipando TIME e Newsweek, Successivamente, si sposta a Tokyo e poi si stabilisce in India. Colpito da un tumore all'intestino, reagisce alla malattia con lo stesso spirito giornalistico di sempre, viaggiando e osservando le tecniche della più moderna medicina occidentale e quella alternativa. Sarà il viaggio più difficile. Resosi conto dell'implacabilità del male, Terzani si concentra nella ricerca della pace interiore, in Asia, e trascorre i suoi ultimi giorni ad Orsigna, sull'Appennino pistoiese. Qui, la morte lo coglie serenamente, a soli 65 anni.... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article

A row has broken out in Florida over proposed legislation that would ban Chinese citizens from owning land or property in the state. This is unless they are also U.S. citizens or permanent residents. The priority bill has the backing of Republican and some Democratic legislators. These legislators argue it is needed to ensure national security. However, critics argue it is discriminatory, and violates the Fair Housing Act of 1968. Polling indicates DeSantis is Republican voters' second most popular choice to be the party's 2024 presidential nominee, following former President Donald Trump. However, he has yet to officially enter the race. Thus any dispute involving DeSantis could have national political implications, either undermining the Florida Republican or strengthening his "anti-woke" credentials. The legislation, titled "SB 264: Interests of Foreign Countries," was approved by the Florida House this week 95-17 and will now head back to the Senate, which voted for a previous version unanimously. It also prohibits citizens of Russia, North Korea, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, and Syria from buying land within a mile of a military base or piece of critical infrastructure. However, only Chinese nationals face a statewide ban. Congress is concerned about the increase in Chinese ownership of U.S. agricultural land. This includes farmland by an air base in North Dakota purchased in 2022. In response, legislation has been introduced at both the national and state level. This legislation would restrict farmland purchases by countries deemed hostile to the United States. However, the proposed bill in Florida has sparked a backlash, with opponents arguing it could violate the 1968 Fair Housing Act. This key piece of civil rights-era legislation banned discrimination based on race, national origin, religion, or sex in housing sales. On Saturday, dozens of Chinese Americans protested against the bill outside the Florida Capitol. They held signs reading "Equality For All" and "No anti-Asian Bill." Speaking on Wednesday, Democratic state Representative Fentrice Driskell argued the bill appears unconstitutional. She added: "Who will enforce this?" Realtors? Come on. We are better than this." However, some Democrats support the legislation including state Representative Katherine Waldron, one of its co-sponsors. Newsweek contacted DeSantis asking what legal advice his office received about SB 264. It also asked whether they thought it could be ruled unconstitutional if passed into law. DeSantis is also locked in a legal battle with Disney, Florida's largest employer, which alleges the governor violated its First Amendment rights after the company spoke out in opposition to the Parental Rights in Education bill, branded the 'Don't Say Gay' law by critics. On Wednesday, DeSantis' Tallahassee office was occupied by protesters from the Dream Defenders campaign group. They demanded a meeting with the governor.

Malick on Badlands

By Beverly Walker

This article originally appeared in Sight and Sound 44:2:82-83, Spring 1975. Copyright Sight and Sound.

Interviewing Terry Malick, producer-writer-director of Badlands, turned out, like his film, to be full of idiosyncratic surprises. My prepared list of questions went by the wayside as Malick talked with passion, conviction and sometimes anger about his film. Acknowledging that he "couldn't have asked for more" in terms of critical acceptance, he also indicated that the actual filming was painful.

Working in the dead heat of the 1972 summer, with a non-union crew and little money ($300,000, excluding some deferments to labs and actors), Malick encountered all sorts of problems, from difficulties over finance to the destruction of all the cameras during a fire sequence. Eventually, upon completion, Warners bought Badlands for just under a million dollars. It might turn in a decent profit for them.

The son of an oil company executive, Malick grew up in Texas and Oklahoma. He went to Harvard and later to Magdalen College, Oxford, as a Rhodes Scholar. Philosophy was his course of study, but he never completed his thesis--in fact, his topic wasn't even acceptable to his Senior Tutor, Gilbert Ryle. Summer jobs took him from the wheat harvests in America and Canada, to work in oilfields and driving a cement mixer in a rail yard, to journalistic endeavours for Life, Newsweek and the New Yorker. He was sent to Bolivia to observe the trial of Regis Debray; Che Guevara was killed the day after his arrival. In 1968, he was appointed a lecturer in philosophy for one year at MIT.

“I was not a good teacher; I didn't have the sort of edge one should have on the students, so I decided to do something else. I'd always liked movies in a kind of naive way. They seemed no less improbable a career than anything else. I came to Los Angeles in the fall of 1969 to study at the AFI; I made a short called Lanton Mills. I found the AFI very helpful; it's a marvellous place. My wife was going to law school and I was working for a time as a rewrite man-two days on Drive, He Said, five weeks on the predecessor to Dirty Harry at a time when Brando was going to do it with Irving Kershner directing. Then we all got fired by Warners; the project went to Clint Eastwood. I rewrote 'Pocket Money' and 'Deadhead Miles'. I got this work because of a phenomenal agent, Mike Medavoy.

"At the end of my second year here, I began work on Badlands. I wrote and, at the same time, developed a kind of sales kit with slides and video tape of actors, all with a view to presenting investors with something that would look ready to shoot. To my surprise, they didn't pay too much attention to it; they invested on faith. I raised about half the money and Edward Pressman (the executive producer) the other half. We started in July of 1972.”

"The critics talked about influences on the picture and in most cases referred to films I had never seen. My influences were books like The Hardy Boys, Swiss Family Robinson, Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn--all involving an innocent in a drama over his or her head. I didn't actually think about those books before I did the script, but it's obvious to me now. Nancy Drew, the children's story child detective--I did think about her.

There is some humor in the picture, I believe. Not jokes. It lies in Holly's mis-estimation of her audience, of what they will be interested in or ready to believe. (She seems at time to think of her narration as like what you get in audio-visual courses in high school.) When they're crossing the badlands, instead of telling us what's going on between Kit and herself, or anything of what we'd like and have to know, she describes what they ate and what it tasted like, as though we might be planning a similar trip and appreciate her experience, this way.

"She's a typical Southern girl in her desire to help, to give hard fact; not to dwell upon herself, which to her would be unseemly, but always to keep in mind the needs of others. She wants to come off in the best possible light, but she's scrupulous enough to take responsibility where in any way she might have contributed."

I suggest to Malick that the film has been criticised for patronising Holly and her milieu. "That's foolishness. I grew up around people like Kit and Holly. I see no gulf between them and myself. One of the things the actors and I used to talk about was never stepping outside the characters and winking at the audience, never getting off the hook. If you keep your hands off the characters you open yourself to charges like that; at least you have no defence against them. What I find patronising is people not leaving the characters alone, stacking the deck for them, not respecting their integrity, their difference."

"Holly's Southernness is essential to taking her right. She isn't indifferent about her father's death.

(line missing) tears, but she wouldn't think of telling you about it. It would not be proper. You should always feel there are large parts of her experience she's not including because she has a strong, if misplaced, sense of propriety. You might well wonder how anyone going through what she does could be at all concerned with proprieties. But she is. And her kind of cliché didn't begin with pulp magazines, as some critics have suggested. It exists in Nancy Drew and Tom Sawyer. It's not the mark of a diminished, pulp-fed mind, I'm trying to say, but of the 'innocent abroad.' When people express what is most important to them, it often comes out in cliches. That doesn't make them laughable; it's something tender about them. As though in struggling to reach what's most personal about them they could only come up with what's most public.

"Holly is in a way the more important character; at least you get a glimpse of what she's like. And I liked women characters better than men; they're more open to things around them, more demonstrative. Kit, on the other hand, is a closed book, not a rare trait in people who have tasted more than their share of bitterness in life. The movies have kept up a myth that suffering makes you deep. It inclines you to say deep things. It builds character and is generally healthful. It teaches you lessons you never forget. People who've suffered go around in movies with long, thoughtful faces, as though everything had caved in just yesterday. It's not that way in real life, though, not always. Suffering can make you shallow and just the opposite of vulnerable, dense. It's had this kind of effect on Kit.

"Kit doesn't see himself as anything sad or pitiable, but as a subject of incredible interest, to himself and to future generations. Like Holly, like a child, he can only really believe in what's going on inside him. Death, other people's feelings, the consequences of his actions-they're all sort of abstract for him. He thinks of himself as a successor to James Dean-a Rebel without a Cause-when in reality he's more like an Eisenhower conservative. 'Consider the minority opinion,' he says into the rich man's tape recorder, 'but try to get along with the majority opinion once it's accepted.' He doesn't really believe any of this, but he envies the people who do, who can. He wants to be like them, like the rich man he locks in the closet, the only man he doesn't kill, the only man he sympathises with, and the one least in need of sympathy. It's not infrequently the people at the bottom who most vigorously defend the very rules that put and keep them there."

And there's something about growing up in the Midwest. There's no check on you. People imagine it's the kind of place where your behaviour is under constant observation, where you really have to toe the line. They got that idea from Sinclair Lewis. But people can really get ignored there and fall into bad soil. Kit did, and he grew up like a big poisonous weed.

"I don't think he's a character peculiar to his time. I tried to keep the 1950s to a bare minimum. Nostalgia is a powerful feeling; it can drown out anything. I wanted the picture to set up like a fairy tale, outside time, like Treasure Island. I hoped this owuld, among other htings, take a little of the sharpness out of the violence but still keep its dreamy quality. Children's books are full of violence. Long John Silver slits the throats of the faithful crew. Kit and Holly even think of themselves as living in a fairy tale. Holly says, "Sometimes I wished I could fall asleep and be taken off to some magical land, but this never happened." But she enough believes there is such a place that she must confess to you she never got there."

Willard Carroll Smith Jr. (born September 25, 1968) is an actor, producer, and rapper. In April 2007, Newsweek called him "the most powerful actor in Hollywood". He has been nominated for five Golden Globe Awards and two Academy Awards and has won four Grammy Awards. He achieved modest fame as a rapper under the name The Fresh Prince. His popularity increased dramatically when he starred in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, which ran for six seasons. After the series ended, he transitioned from television to film and went on to star in numerous blockbuster films. He is the only actor to have eight consecutive films grossing over $100 million at the domestic box office, eleven consecutive films grossing over $150 million internationally, and eight consecutive films in which he starred open at the number one spot in the domestic box office tally. He has been ranked as the most bankable star worldwide by Forbes. As of 2014, 17 of the 21 films in which he has had leading roles have accumulated worldwide gross earnings of over $100 million each, with five taking in over $500 million each in global box office receipts. As of 2016, his films have grossed $7.5 billion at the global box office. For his performances as boxer Muhammad Ali in Ali (2001) and stockbroker Chris Gardner in The Pursuit of Happyness (2006), he received nominations for the Academy Award for Best Actor.
