The bit that you skip #165: Tangerine Dream – Charly The Kid

I have no defined idea of when the Tangerine Dream reappraisal began. When GTA V was released in 2013, Tangerine Dream were an integral part of the atmospheric music, along Woody Jackson, Oh No, and The Alchemist. The dynamic score was integral to the game’s success, and you can still find youtube channels with extended versions recorded in-game for those of us who love to lose ourselves for hours on majestic cinematic scores.

I suspect the newfound cult status of Michael Mann’s Thief was a consequence of GTA V’s success. After all, GTA V always took inspiration from Mann’s movies. Vice City, GTA IV, and GTA V have bank jobs, and the presence of hockey masks is no coincidence. Thief is a great film and originally was going to be today’s post, but I thought about another Tangerine Dream movie that needs some reappraisal.

Firestarter stars Drew Barrymore, David Keith, George C. Scott, and Martin Sheen, and it’s an adaptation of a novel by Stephen King. Directed by Mark L. Lester, it almost feels like a test run for Commando. I mean it! Kidnapping of a loved one, slightly diabolical acting from the two villains (George C. Scott and Martin Sheen), and a pyromaniac’s daydream with the fiery ending of The Shop, the secret agency that caused all the trouble.

Stephen King was notoriously vocal about hating the adaptation, and Roger Ebert was miffed by it. As an 80s film, it’s what it says on the tin, expect no more. Book purists will side with King, though. Since I grew up with films like this, I’m more partial to the adaptation. Feels breezier without the usual King tangents that extend his books to door-stopping length. I still read him, but, you know.

Tangerine Dream’s soundtrack is heartfelt. It does go into heavy 80s territory from time to time, especially on the wonderful Crystal Voice. I’m recommending Charly the Kid. It has that smouldering crescendo Tangerine Dreams so well, where a sense of wonder and dread are interlocked. You could almost place vocals on it, but it doesn’t need them. A beautiful track for a character with a terrifying, world-ending power.

EL CINE DE LOS AÑOS 70
OKLAHOMA, AÑO 10 (1973)
Oklahoma Crude, dirigida por Stanley Kramer, es una de esas películas que, sin pertenecer al grupo de las obras más recordadas de su autor, refleja con claridad algunas de sus constantes temáticas: la lucha del individuo contra las estructuras de poder y la defensa obstinada de la dignidad personal frente a la injusticia. Ambientada en los…

“Brian Kilmeade was on Fox & Friends defending Trump’s desire to have the kind of Nazi generals Hitler had.

Except for, you know, the ones that tried to kill him.

John Kelly asked Trump what he knew about Rommel. Trump had no idea who Kelly was asking him about.” - The Voice Of Reason

Di George C. Scott, nato il #18ottobre 1927, ricordo due magnifiche interpretazioni quella in #Patton, che gli valse l'#Oscar, e quella del generale "Buck" Turgidson nel #DottorStranamore. https://www.lasinistraquotidiana.it/stanley-kubrick-oltre-linfinito/

I just started "A Christmas Carol" (1984) with George C. Scott as Scrooge. I'm watching it on Tubi, which is streaming TV with ads.

He was such an incredible actor. I'm 6 minutes in, and already it's powerful. 😲

3 things about William Peter Blatty’s THE EXORCIST III [1990]

1. The way he lifts the sheet, the expression of confirmation.
2. An old woman scrambling around the ceiling.
3. Peeling away of the ear.

1985 Mussolini promo
.
This 7 hour mini-series is based on the memories of Vittorio Mussolini, the oldest son of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. The film opens in 1922 as Mussolini gathers his power through the use of his Black Shirt militia. Promoting himself as Caesar reincarnate, Il Duce gains a national fervor that peaks after the Italian invasion of Abyssinia (Ethiopia) in 1935.

I love 70s disaster movies but The Hindenburg (1975) doesn't quite come off, despite some interesting ideas. Since it was a real disaster so we know exactly what's going to happen it tries to focus on why it might have happened.

Americans traditionally love to fight. All REAL Americans love the sting of battle. When you were kids, you all admired the champion marble shooter, the fastest runner, big league ball players, the toughest boxers. Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win ALL THE TIME. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed.
