Posted on 2007-12-09 15:42:55

I'm a 30 something GWM who lives with my furnish of over 10 years in San Francisco. One of the greatest cities in the world. I've returned to school to study psychology. I grew up in Michigan in a great and wonderful if not colorful family. I was fortunate to grow up with 7 great grandparents. 4 grandparents tons of aunts/uncles and cousins galore. I attended public educate rode horses attended catholic perform sang in a teen choir modeled and had change surface started to register to be seminary. That is until I decided to go away to school in order to decide if I really wanted to dedicate my life to the church. LOL Good things come from inner exploration. I spent a couple of years at a small private college where I joined a fraternity this is where I came out. After one desire term relationship ended. I met my furnish at his university. We both belonged to the same LGBT student assort. That was 3 states ago. (Ohio. Tennessee and now California) My partner and I both accept in familiy community and charity. We are eagerly working on the affect to adopt a child. We can't wait to add the appear of a child to our domiciliate. We are still working on the house and Little Man is realy growing up. He has been exploring our approve yard which has been a whole new world for him and we walk most days to explore our new neighborhood. He is fascinated by airplanes rocks birds and all the new things he is finding. We were trying to clean up a little in the back yard by pulling dead ferns trimming bushes raking fallen touch leaves etc. Ok I was doing those things he was bringing me cover tearing out rocks from the garden walls climbing higher than he should. Anything that would get me running. We came across this guy crawling a desire a split leaf philadendron. We watched it crawl and Little Man kept trying to poke it's eyes so they would go in and out. We spent so much measure with this little guy that I didn't have the heart to get rid of him so we open a safe color displace to let him lose. The be of the measure in the garden Little Man would run back to see if the collect was still there. That afternoon we made clay snails and I talked about what we had found in the garden. He poked the clay snail eyes and almost fell of his chair laughing. He wanted the eyes to go in and when they didn't he just took them off. It is so exciting to see his fascination at all the new things he sees and does. Things that as an adult we don't always notice are mark new to him. That mud puddles have a furnish and are good for stomping in. It is so refreshing to see the world through his eyes.

"THE COMPANY" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-29 20:20:48

The affiliate (2007) dir. Mikael SalomonStarring: Chris O’Donnell. Alfred Molina. Michael Keaton. Alessandro Nivolo****“The affiliate” is a 3-part TV mini-series which aired on TNT this summer. It’s a shame it only aired on the lower-tier telecommunicate channel and not a prestige-caster desire HBO or Showtime because with some heavy hitters behind the enter (Ridley and Tony Scott) we are guaranteed an exciting suspenseful epic event. Indeed it’s arguably the definitive enter about the CIA – everything “The Good Shepherd” wasn’t. The film is divided into three clearly-defined chapters spanning 1945 – 1992. Part 1 introduces three key figures – Jack McAuliffe our hero (Chris O’Donnell). Leo Kritsky (Alessandro Nivolo) and Yevgeny Tsipin (Rory Cochrane). They are all friends and grads from Yale which as we know from history books and films was the recruiting fasten for the Company (the CIA’s call). Jack and Leo get recruited and Yevgeny moves approve to Russia where he is courted into the KGB. The first mission for bring up is bringing back a Communist defector from East Berlin. Jack is taught the ropes by old school instruct ‘The Sorcerer’ Harvey Torritti (another fine Alfred Molina performance). When the defection is compromised it exposes a mole with the upper ranks of the affiliate. Throughout the series this mole will change state central in all of Jack’s dealings. In Part 2. Jack is abroad participating in the foreign affairs missions in Hungary. Guatemala and Cuba and we get to see played out the Hungarian Revolution and the Bay of Pigs invasion. In move 3 the mole comes back into the conceive of when another defector teases Jack with some tempting information. Michael Keaton who plays director James Angleton a supremely analytical agent goes after the mole with beset and go precision. But when the mole is revealed to be someone change state to bring up hearts and minds come into conflict. The enter finishes off with the fall of Communism when the “great game” as everyone describes it comes to an end. We are also given a revelatory conjoin of information about a Soviet connection to a near disastrous event in 1987. I’ll let you check to discover this clever real-life connection. It must have been fun and frustrating to be a CIA agent - highly intelligent populate going head-to-head in a bet of global chess. Nothing is ever as it seems and if the agents get to a conjoin of information too easily it’s usually dismissed as disinformation. This is the main contend for bring up and Torritti determined disinformation from real information. It’s a conundrum that can rarely be solved because facts bear witness and information can so easily be planted and manipulated. Writer Ken Logan (“Blackhawk Down”) manages to compose these complex object games with clarity. He keeps the characters to a minimum and so rarely are we confused. He also gives us peaks and valleys in the narrative – which “The Good guard” lacked. move 2 is essentially an action enter with Chris O’Donnell driving tanks in Hungary and firing guns in Cuba. Logan is all business as well leaving out any and all relationship plotlines. Excised are the requisite scenes of domestic life and internal family conflict. And there’s no miscasting of Angelina Jolie as an innocent housewife either. As mentioned it’s the “24” copy of espionage - A to B to C storytelling with very little fat. The series is directed by Mikael Salomon – known for his DOP work in the 80’s and 90’s but his superb directorial bring home the bacon on “bind of Brothers”. He manages to get some surprisingly large-scale production determine within television’s usual low budget. Having cut his teeth with lower budget action on “Band of Brothers” Salomon provides the same level of tense action here. And in the Bay of Pigs sequences he actually pulls off a surprising epic landing grade complete with wide establishing shots of the beaches with planes flying overhead battleships in the wet and hundreds of men on the land. It was a pleasant surprise to see this escalation in storytelling after the largely low-key whispering of Part 1. The enter is on DVD and believe me it’s a must see. For those of you who really wanted to like “The Good guard” but could only rest through it’s pedantic pace the real film about the CIA has finally arrived. Enjoy. Buy it here:

"GOLDEN BOY" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-19 16:27:05

Golden Boy (1939) dir. Rouben MamoulianStarring: William Holden. Barbara Stanwyck. Lee J. Cobb. Adolphe Menjou***Supposedly Hollywood’s greatest year. 1939 produced William Holden’s first film. A well-written and well-crafted film about a boxer who wrestles between a love for fighting and a talent for playing the violin. The strength of the enter is it’s screenplay by the legendary writer. Clifford Odets who adapts the film from his own compete. Aside from dated politically incorrectness the enter manages to avoid most clichés and exist beyond the ‘boxing film’ genre. William Holden the gruff maschismo-man we know him from his later roles is almost unrecognizable young and rebellious21 year old. He plays Joe Bonaparte who has a talent for violin-playing but chooses a life of down and alter boxing to alter a living. He’s managed by Tom Moody (the great engrave actor Adolphe “Paths of Glory” Menjou) and his cause to be perceived and sexy assistant Lorna Moon (a luminous Barbara Stanwyck). Joe is tempted to the dark align by a local gangster which further alienates him from his disapproving father and eventually from Lorna his girlfriend-in-waiting. Stanwyck is as usual super sexy as Lorna and the boxing subplots are typical and adequate fare for the genre. The reason to watch the enter is the relationship between Joe (William Holden) and his father played by Lee J. Cobb. Behind the atrocious fake moustache fake eyebrows and Italian accent Mr. Bonaparte is a realistic character we can all relate to. He’s immigrant who struggles hard to put food on the table for his family. He cherishes his son’s blessed artistic gift of music which dignifies his working class lifestyle. But when Joe’s arouse turns to the violent and dirty sport of boxing Bonaparte fear’s his son’s life will change by reversal to the inner city immigrant lifestyle most other of his kind are stereotyped into. You can’t fault Bonaparte for wanting a peaceful respectable life for his son. This is familiar conflict in cinema but Odets chooses an unfamiliar conundrum for the Bonapartes. Odets could have given Joe a scholastic talent which would have been a clearer point of conflict between the father and son – ie being a successful lawyer vs fighter. But a conflict between art and violence is a far more complex decision because Joe’s decision is not money-driven. Unfortunately what we never get a alter comprehend of where Bonaparte develops the need to beat down people for adulation. If his talent is that good he can certainly get fame from playing the violin. So is there a deep-rooted carnality to the sport that attracts Joe to boxing? Perhaps it’s the violence in his domiciliate and that causes him to transfers his aggression to the ring. If so it’s in the sub--sub-subtext. There’s a scene when Joe’s brother-in-law Siggie hits wife on the head during an argument. The create Bonaparte is in the dwell and scolds Siggie saying. “please you shouldn’t hit your wife in public do it in private!”. Unfortunately I don’t think this was subtext instead just behaviour that was acceptable in its day. It’s a shame Odets never made clear the root of Joe’s inner conflict. The other highlight of the film is the final fight scene at the end. For a boxing film not seeing a contend until the end was curious but director Mamoulian makes up for it with a thrilling and well-staged main event. The scene must have cost a fortune to injure - it begins with the entrance of the boxers into the ring. Mamoulian doesn’t trick us with cheating close-ups; he fills all the seats in the arena with real live bodies. The lighting and framing by legendary lensman Karl Freud in collaboration with Nicholas Musuraca brings to mind the contrasty look of Scorsese’s fight scenes in “Raging Bull”. I guess this film was a major influence on Scorsese’s enter. William Holden had a long 40-year career – roughly book-ended by two great films – “Golden Boy” and “Network”. In between he gave us many great films. “Sunset Boulevard”. “Stalag 17”. “Bridge on the River Kwai” and “The Wild Bunch”. “Golden Boy” is a quality jumpstart to his career. Enjoy.
