Documentary of the Day -


A Band Called Death


"Before Bad Brains, the Sex Pistols or even the Ramones, there was a band called Death. Punk before punk existed, three teenage brothers in the early '70s formed a band in their spare bedroom, began playing a few local gigs and even pressed a single in the hopes of getting signed. But this was the era of Motown and emerging disco. Record companies found Death’s music— and band name—too intimidating, and the group were never given a fair shot, disbanding before they even completed one album. Equal parts electrifying rockumentary and epic family love story,


A BAND CALLED DEATH chronicles the incredible fairy-tale journey of what happened almost three decades later, when a dusty 1974 demo tape made its way out of the attic and found an audience several generations younger. Playing music impossibly ahead of its time, Death is now being credited as the first black punk band (hell...the first punk band!), and are finally receiving their long overdue recognition as true rock pioneers. "


My comments: First let me say that I immediately knew this blurb was wrong because The Ramones, who I love and adore, were also actively playing in 1974, (as well as other punk bands.)


*From Wikipedia - "The Ramones played before an audience for the first time on March 30, 1974, at Performance Studios. The songs they played were very fast and very short; most clocked in at under two minutes. Around this time, a new music scene was emerging in New York centered on two clubs in downtown Manhattan—Max's Kansas City and, more famously, CBGB (usually referred to as CBGB's). The Ramones made their CBGB debut on August 16, 1974."


Having said that, I still found this documentary to be jaw dropping and amazing, Very entertaining and intimate look at the lives of three brothers that formed a rock band in Detroit, were influenced by The Beatles and The Who, and somehow, due to the genius of David Hackney, formed a punk rock band (though they didn't even call it that). If you are a fan of early punk rock like I am, you too will be astounded at what happened in a small bedroom in Detroit back in the 70's. I still have goose bumps even thinking about this.


See this awesome documentary if the earliest roots of punk rock is a meaningful topic to you.

The distance between the Moon and Earth varies from around 356,400 km to 406,700 km at the extreme perigees (closest) and apogees (farthest). The Moon's linear distance from Earth is currently increasing at a rate of 3.82 ± 0.07 centimeters (1.504 ± 0.028 in) per year, but this rate is not constant. At approx. 400,000 km (or 250,000 miles) light travels in 1.26 seconds from the moon to the earth and vice versa, meaning the moon is roughly 1.26 light seconds away from us.

Fictional Quote of the Day ...

.
.
.
The Coasts of Bohemia is a fictional travel guide quoted in Lyra's Oxford by Oscar Baedecker.

 "…Oxford, where the real and the unreal jostle in the streets; where North Parade is in the south and South Parade is in the north, where Paradise is lost under a pumping station; where the river mists have a solvent and vivifying effect on the stone of the ancient buildings, so that gargoyles of Magdalen College climb down at night and fight with those from Wykeham, or fish under the bridges, or simply change their expressions overnight; Oxford, where windows open into other worlds…"

Recommended Movie of the Day ...

Recommended Movie of the Day ...


Byzantium


 Gemma Arterton (Actor),    Saoirse Ronan (Actor),    Neil Jordan (Director)     Rated: R


"A run-down coastal resort becomes the epicenter of unimaginable evil when two mysterious women suddenly appear there seeking refuge. Alluring Clara (Gemma Arterton, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters) and schoolgirl Eleanor (Saoirse Ronan, Hanna) meet local loner Noel (Daniel Mays, Atonement) and take up residence in his deserted guesthouse, Byzantium.


Before long Eleanor befriends another local, Frank (Caleb Landry Jones, Antiviral) and reveals to him the lethal secret the two women share: they were born 200 years ago and survive on human blood. As knowledge of their secret spreads, their shared past threatens to catch up to them with deadly consequences. A uniquely fresh take on the vampire myth, Neil Jordan s (The Brave One) BYZANTIUM is a stylish and affecting look at the loneliness and isolation that come with the price of immortality."


My comments - This is a story of teenage rebellion that took 200 years to come to fruition. The fact that the mother and daughter were vampires was really secondary, in my opinion, to the normal process all adolescents must go through: rejecting their parental values, making their own (sometimes disastrous) decisions and finally coming to terms with both the value of their parent and making their own way in the world. The acting was splendid, the vampire stuff was both shocking and beautiful, and the sets couldn't have been better. Two thumbs up. For adults only.

Movie Recommendation of the Day ...

Movie Recommendation of the Day ...


A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night




"The first Iranian Vampire Western, Ana Lily Amirpour's debut feature A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night basks in the sheer pleasure of pulp. A joyful mash-up of genre, archetype and iconography, its prolific influences span spaghetti westerns, graphic novels, horror films, and the Iranian New Wave. Amped by a mix of Iranian rock, techno and Morricone-inspired riffs, its airy, anamorphic, black-and-white aesthetic and artfully drawn-out scenes combine the simmering tension of Sergio Leone with the surrealism of David Lynch."




My comments: Since I'm a fan of quirky movies, and a fan of vampire stories, and a fan of movies shot from a feminist viewpoint, this was obviously a big hit with me. Knowing the fragile looking huge eyed young woman that is "lured" into the den of a loathsome drug dealer and pimp is actually an apex predator was deliciously satisfying. I won't give away any of the details, best to let the story unfold as it plays out, but suffice it to say that it was memorable, interesting, hilarious, haunting and one of the best vampire movies I have seen. The more I think about it, the better I like it.


Slight gore but not over the top. Subtitled.
