Kubrick revealed? The Dawn of Man superimposed over Dave’s dawn as a space traveler.

Origins and Explanation or Why Kubrick is a Genius

This project, in which I arranged Kubrick’s masterpiece 2001 to play both backwards and forwards simultaneously, was inspired by the beautiful and enlightening documentary on Kubrick’s The Shining named Room 237 by Rodney Ascher. I was dumbstruck by the section that explained a theory of how to watch The Shining properly – Backwards and forwards. Here’s an introduction to that idea:

“Analysis and awe sit side by side in the parts of our brains that engage in pattern recognition. The Shining Forwards And Backwards feeds both of them at once.  Last year some folks at a Brooklyn theater – likely highly stoned folks – got the idea in their heads to play Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining forwards while projecting the movie backwards at the same time on the same screen. What was shocking was that it worked. That’s not to say that Kubrick intended the film to be seen this way, but it worked nonetheless.” curated by lemasney from Fantastic Fest Review: THE SHINING FORWARDS AND BACKWARDS | Birth.Movies.Death. at http://birthmoviesdeath.com/2012/10/01/fantastic-fest-review-the-shining-forwards-and-backwards

And perhaps my favorite way to introduce this idea that even if Kubrick didn’t do this purposefully, it’s still fascinating:

“(T)he film’s framing lends itself to this kind of an experiment. Kubrick is so precise about placement within the frame that you can overlay random images and find juxtapositions and reverberations in imagery. Whether or not this is purposeful is besides the point – what matters is how it’s experienced.” curated by lemasney from Fantastic Fest Review: THE SHINING FORWARDS AND BACKWARDS | Birth.Movies.Death. at http://birthmoviesdeath.com/2012/10/01/fantastic-fest-review-the-shining-forwards-and-backwards

I was so moved by the idea possibly applying to other films of Kubrick’s, that I rushed to my machine, ripped a copy, and started playing. This post is an invitation for you to do that play too. It’s easy for you to argue that it was not Stanley’s intention to do all of this extra work so that just a few might see it. Once you see it, it’s harder to argue against that idea. So, how does one do it?

Methodology

Kubrick’s 2001, A Space Odyssey, backwards and forwards. (lemasney)

I don’t have access to projectors or film reels as The Shining theorists did. I did this right on my computer, and so can you. In fact, it’s likely the only way you’ll get to see it in all of its glory because of the copyright infringement of the product if broadcast without permission. I’ve had a few short clips taken down so far and rightfully so. I do not have copyright rights to the material. Because I am using this for the purposes of extending the content through critique and analysis, I feel I’m free to post this imagery, and have seen other examples, such as in the project that inspired this one:

“On Wednesday, March 9th, 2011, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, The Spectacle Theater screened Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining forwards and backwards simultaneously, superimposed. This experiment in projection was inspired by the analysis of The Shining by MSTRMND, and one line in particular:  The Shining is a film meant to be watched both forwards and backwards.  We took the MSTRMND gambit at face value. We put the US DVD version into Final Cut, removed all corporate logos and leaders at the beginning, and cut all credits at the end. The entire film image sequence was then copied, reversed and superimposed over the original forwards version. (For clarity’s sake we screened the forwards/backwards superimposition with the forwards audio only.)” curated by lemasney from KDK12 | The Shining: Forwards and Backwards at http://kdk12.tumblr.com/post/4879566957/the-shining-forwards-and-backwards

I believe I’d be able to argue that I did this without expectation of malice, but rather homage, to Stanley, nor personal monetary gain, while hopefully extending the film’s value through critical observation.

I still won’t post the whole rearranged film here, because it would easily be arguable that I had not done enough to change it, and I’d rather not have a showing with my voice over it, etc. You should see it in its true form, and that means you’ll probably have to do it or contact me for help, which I welcome. I am however sharing a lot of GIFs, the first of which are below. Please feel free to share at your own risk. I have a fantasy where I get the Paramount in Charlottesville, Virginia to do a screening for us on the big screen, but I doubt that I could afford the rights.

How to make your own Forwards and Backwards movies:

You have to have a non-protected version of the film in an editable format like MP4, which may mean getting the DVD and backing it up to a file, as I did. (If this is a new concept to you, check out this cool HowTo). You might get it some other way too.

Open the MP4 in a video editor (I use the open source video editor KDEnlive on Ubuntu Studio, you might use Adobe Premiere or something similar) on track one.

Open a second copy on track two and mute and reverse it. In KDEnlive, you can just right click on your original project clip and make a reversed copy. (Here’s the HowTo for that).

We mute the second copy because the audio weaves together the narrative of the two directions.

In order to see the second track ‘through’ the first, you have to add a transition between tracks to act as a layer mode for the video. I used Screen mode, which worked perfectly. (Here’s the HowTo for that.)

Render your edit, and begin watching. In the mean time, check out some of the short animations below to get some sense of what you will see.

I’ll explain more below and in future posts, but I can not see how the timing of the cuts and positions are anything but designed. Kubrick seems perfectly capable of going scene by scene, second by second, and arranging image A and image B to coincide. I feel certain of it, but others may not believe. I also believe in The Dark Side of Oz, where Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon replaces the soundtrack of the classic film The Wizard of Oz. If you can believe that was by design, this is easy, comparatively.

Introduction and Title

The Dawn of Man

The introduction and exit of the film are fascinating to watch simultaneously. Having read Clarke’s entire series of books on this universe, the obelisk is an alien intelligence, allowing humanity to flourish by giving insight to technology unknown before through contact. This happens to the missing link men in the first scenes, to the men on the moon, and to Dave, becoming the space baby, a newly born time-traveling entity.  Some impressions and narrative for the GIFs above:

Click on Introduction and Title to see the perfect choreography of space baby Dave’s eye, moon, sun, and earth.

The Dawn of Man plays with the idea of burial (Dave passing from human form to time traveler) in the ground of the reverse scene.

The obelisk contains light (symbolizing intelligence) often in this version of the film. Eating becomes a recurring, overlapping theme for ideological acceptance, and in The human issue of eating, we get a glimpse of the hogs lying about Dave’s purgatory room, and Dave eating an alien meal for sustenance.

In Enrobed in light, and Obelisk encounters the intense landscapes of the time travel Dave screams through are set against the landscape of early man. Also, notice how the light surrounds, follows, and amplifies the brutal emotion of early man, and how the light splatters and spits around these newly murderous human ancestors, shining with new and powerful intelligence.

Bright light (as intelligence, but not always kind) constantly reveals itself in the backwards and forwards play, like HAL’s red-eye over faces or objects of intense importance or intimate intelligence in other scenes.

In my next post, I’ll talk about the next scenes and my impressions. I hope you liked this introduction to the project, and I’d love to help you to do this kind of thing too, discovering new tools along the way. If I can help you, please give me a call at 609 553 9498 or email me at [email protected]. There’s even a feedback form below. If it’s something especially nice, it might go in the testimonials! I’m John. Thanks!

“don’t panic, they can smell gay fear”-david lemasney in the upset caucasian fathers group chat

The Addams Family Musical by Timber Creek Drama at Timber Creek High School in Sicklerville, NJ

By Ricky and Dana Young-Howze Timber Creek Drama’s performance of The Addams Family, a musical comedy with book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice and music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa, was a chilling good time. This production directed by Carolyn Hand brings the timeless characters from the mind of Charles Addams back from the crypt and onto the stage. Gomez Addams’ (played by Geoffrey Collins) little daughter is all grown up and wants to get married. Wednesday (played by Katie Fox ) has asked that he keep her engagement to her normal fiancé, Lucas (played by Jeffrey Redwanowaki), a secret from Morticia (played by Courtney LeMasney). Add Lucas’s plain Jane parents (played by Lucy Fleiscann and Eric Rothenhofer) into the mix of the Addams household and you have a familial whirlwind threatening to blow everyone over. Pugsley (played by Elise Farrar) schemes to break up his sister and her new beau. If she marries him she may never torture Pugsley again. So he brews up a scheme with one of Grandmama’s special potions. Grandmama (played by Bianca Gray) has a mouth that goes a thousand times faster than she walks. She may be old but her snark always hits home. Then we have the narration of Uncle Fester (Taylor Nelson) who serves as our liaison between ancestors, family, and audience and actors. He spouts one liners just as much as he tells us his love for the moon. And let's not forget Lurch (played by Donovan Jones), the family butler. He's a being on a pit stop on his slow shuffle off this mortal coil. A giant with an even bigger heart. But what would a musical about the Addams Family be without Gomez and Morticia? If you said “dark and dismal” you would be right! The show isn't complete without them. Carolyn Hand’s direction was character focused and spot on. The characters were clear in their motivations and in their actions. As I always say you can tell where a director invests their time and I could really tell that she spent quality time with this cast to make these characters work. And when the characters work we’ll go wherever the lead us. Choreography by Niki Williams was simple yet great with nothing too over the top or complicated. However with a couple of great group numbers like “Around the Corner”, “When you're an Addams” and “Tango Amor” there was some tight group and partner work that really shone. The set which was built under the supervision of stage crew advisor Jack Campbell was beautiful and detailed. Each set was elaborate without overpowering the stage. I did notice that the set changes took a bit longer but the payoff was worth it. I bet a lot of the delays were opening night gremlins and that they will work much more smoothly in tonight's performance. John Perkis’s vocal direction was the key to making a great play amazing. The cast was loud, clear, and energetic and it really paid off. You'd be surprised how much being able to hear the cast clearly makes the play even better and these guys started at “amazing”. Since they used an accompaniment track over a live band they could really make sure that their singing “went to eleven” and wasn't overpowered. Costume designer Julia Incarvite’s work really shined in terms of the ancestors. Each ancestor had a unique ghostly personality that immediately shown through their clothes. That's where all the little touches came alive and made the play for me. All of the cast was great but Collins’ portrayal of Gomez and Fox’s Wednesday really stood out to me. Fox’s Wednesday is the perfect balance of the dark and gothic Wednesday we all grew up with and the bubbly love sick young woman she is in this show. The actors handled a few tiny stage mishaps like Broadway pros. A prime example of this is Collins still in full Gomez mode commenting about an exposed beam (in theatre it's called a fly rail) that was late on its cue to raise a swing for him to sit on. He even thanked the ancestors as it was being fixed. So even the stage became a fun character with their little adlibs. Two supporting shoutouts were Jones as Lurch and Nelson as Fester. Simply put these two characters are the glue that hold the play together. Fester is our handhold through the entire show and the one who helps guide the story from scene to scene. What made Jones’s Lurch a standout was his voice. The boy can sing! No spoilers but there's a moment at the end of the play when Lurch finally sings and Jones blew the roof off the place. Two background standouts were Alexxis Tswago and Arriea Wilson as Gangster Guy and Gangster Gal respectively. Their energy was contagious! To have two people in the background having so much fun you can't help but notice them makes a play even more special. I want to give a special shoutout to the actors playing Lucas’s family. They sat near us in the back before their big entrance and pretended to be normal theater patrons. At first I thought they were annoying late guests. But when I figured it out I was pleasantly surprised. I wonder if they would have sat near us if they knew the two of us were reviewers. All in all it's a great show made even better by an energetic cast. They were so energetic it spilled out onto their social media and they had one of the best grassroots marketing campaigns I've ever seen. They shared pics and moments and made anyone paying attention really excited for the show. Shoutout to Katie Fox who hunted me down and asked me to come out. This whole cast had just that kind of moxie and that's what put the show over the top. The Addams Family is a creepy and a kooky, hilarious and spooky good time. You should check it out! Running Time: Two and a half hours with a 15 minute intermission. The Addams Family opened on April 6th at and plays through Sunday April 9th at the You can get tickets at the door.

LPT: On the benefits of calendars

LPT: On the benefits of calendars

When do you choose to use a calendar? One may opt to use a calendar or not. Some individuals (not me) may prefer to rely on the power of their memory. A few people, even a couple, may benefit greatly from one. A group of several practically requires one, and often many, for strong small-picture & smooth large-picture organization. One can do without, with good communication, but perhaps at the cost of efficient organization.

I have one each for paid work, pro bono work, organizational work, personal tasks, relationships (SO, familial), and several for my 9 to 5 job. Mine are digital, searchable, longitudinal, and legible, but paper still works in the twenty-tens. As the groups get larger, and response speed increases, paper becomes harder.

It's a beautiful way to see your life laid out. It potentially reinforces the idea of 8 hours for work, 8 hours for rest, eight hours for what you will.

I find the more I need a calendar, the healthier my social connection is. Certainly, my mind is free of remembering all of those individual needs, events, and notes. My calendar serves as a memoir, an essay, a diary, and a record.

"Đời người là trà, ta là chén rỗng" Tôi tin cuộc đời là những nhân duyên. Có nhân duyên giữa người với ta, cũng có những nhân duyên giữa ta với chính mình. Đó là khi ta trải qua rất nhiều chuyện trớ trêu thử thách, rồi bỗng một ngày, những thứ ấy ghép lại với nhau thành bức tranh giúp ta ngộ ra một bài học. Như cái câu "đời người là trà, ta là chén rỗng" này. Tôi nghe từ vài năm trước, thấy hay hay, mà không hiểu. Tại sao đời lại là trà? Đời thì có lúc nhạt như nước lã, lúc đắng như khổ qua, lúc lại cay trào nước mắt. Nếu đời là trà, hẳn có lúc tôi muốn hất đổ chén trà trên tay, để xin đổi thứ nước thơm lành hơn. Và tôi với cái chén thì… liên quan gì nhau? Làm sao tin được thân thể này, định danh này, ràng buộc này rốt cuộc cũng chỉ là một chữ “rỗng”? Vậy nên nghe đó rồi bỏ đó, tôi sống tiếp đời mình. Rồi, lòng vòng thế nào tôi lại tập uống trà. Đi vào đường thiền. Đọc kinh sách. Thú thực là tôi vẫn phàm trần lắm, cái ngã vẫn còn đó, vui vẫn tham, đẹp vẫn mê. Nhưng (may quá) đã bắt đầu biết chánh niệm. Biết tôi thích sách, có người tặng tôi quyển sách của Đức Đạt Lai Lạt Ma. Biết tôi thích trà, có người cho tôi túi trà. Trên túi lại in đúng cái câu mà tôi quên bén từ lâu. Sách viết, mỗi người là một linh hồn trường tồn. Không chết đi, cũng không sinh ra, chỉ tiếp nối. Ta đến cõi này là được cho một hành trình, mà mục tiêu của hành trình ấy là để ta hoàn thiện chính mình. Để học yêu thương, để quay về với nguyên bản - một tiểu tạo hoá. À! Tôi - cái linh hồn này - không là gì khác ngoài sự chứa đựng. Chứa đựng cuộc đời bao la, để thưởng thức nó trong khoảnh khắc này, rồi cho nó qua. Nên tôi là cái chén rỗng. Vậy làm sao để uống trăm vị cuộc đời như uống một chén trà? Lý giải nhỏ bé của tôi là, nếu chúng ta chấp nhận cuộc đời là một hành trình được sắp đặt bởi đấng tạo hoá, hay chúa, hay tự nhiên, hay phật, hay mẹ, tuỳ cách ta gọi niềm tin tôn giáo của mình. Thì đó chắc chắn là một hành trình của nhân duyên, một hành trình được ôm ấp bởi yêu thương và không hề có ác ý. Vì lẽ đó, ta sẽ uống cuộc đời này một cách đầy trân trọng. Và tôi cũng tập pha trà thật chỉnh chu. Chén trà đời ta, cũng bàn tay ta pha lấy. - Người tập pha trà - Hình ảnh: John LeMasney

Looks like a special reunion episode of my old Technology and the Arts podcast with John LeMasney is coming soon. Here’s the dumb intro I put together at the last minute when we brought it back as a live webcast in 2012 after a four-year hiatus following its initial 2006-08 run as a standard podcast. I’ve always loved this version of the theme song I wrote for us, though.
