" the ballad of narayama " is a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens…

don ' t let the tongue - in - cheek title , which refers to cinema , deter you . beware of a holy whore is not only one of the most insightful and hilarious films about filmmaking , it is also a landmark in fassbinder ' s career , looking back to his brilliantly abstract early films and ahead to his unique melodramas . and it is a probing , multi - layered view of human experience  of frustration , brutality , and especially love  seen through the unlikely but fascinating metaphor of a stranded movie crew . shortly before his death fassbinder made a list of " the top 10 of my own films , " and he considered this his best picture .

of course , the holy whore referenced in the title does mean the cinema and it is a deliberate pun at how movie - making can be both beautiful and repugnant at the same time . in this film art does imitate real life and by the end of the movie the audience is left wondering which scenes are part of the film jeff is making and which scenes are about the process of the film that jeff is making . this is just another example of

beware of a holy whore also shows fassbinder ' s evolving use of music to counterpoint , rather than simply to amplify as in most movies , the emotions of a scene . he deploys a fabulously eclectic soundtrack which extends from the plaintive original score by his regular collaborator , the great peer raben , to a wide range of popular songs  leonard cohen ( " suzanne " , " so long , marianne " , " master song " , " sisters of mercy " ) , ray charles ( " let ' s go get stoned " ) , elvis presley ( " santa lucia " ) and spooky tooth ( " i ' ve got enough heartaches , " " hangman hang my shell on a tree " ) , to a haunting donizetti aria .

my grandmother died of a self - induced abortion . in the trump era , her story has taken on a new sense of urgency .

“dear friends and comrades or so : let us consider working on that film as the last chance to examine why things went that way and no other . ” ( fassbinder ) power , sex and deep insights into the ’68 movement . the location is sorrento , the film is set in spain , and countless cuba libres are drained in the insanity of the plot . the film from 1971 is fassbinder’s re - examination of the chaos that reigned during the shooting of his western whity and his way of “coming to terms with the fact that we dreamed of something that doesn’t exist” . one of the reasons why michael laub has chosen beware of a holy whore as the basis for his piece fassbinder , faust and the animists is that the film was realised by the legendary “antiteater” theatre group .

a central work of the new german cinema movement finally finds its weary way onto blu - ray courtesy of the criterion collection .

rainer werner fassbinder’s tenth feature , 1970’s “beware of a holy whore” ( which i discuss in this clip ) , is included in the crucial new boxed set “ early fassbinder , ” from criterion . the movie is in one of my favorite genres , the inside - movie movie—and it’s a remarkably precocious entry : fassbinder was twenty - six when he made it . the rapidity , consistency , and diversity of his movies—added to their sheer cinematic inspiration—combine to make one of the great wonders of the time . he relied on a repertory company of actors and crew members , and he worked sometimes with virtually no cash in hand , sometimes with producers , sometimes with tv money . he lived furiously and channelled his experience ( as here ) into his films , but he also built films from classic genres , tabloid headlines , and political events , and invested them all with a sensibility—and a visual style—that is one of the most distinctive and protean in the modern cinema . “i can sleep when i’m dead , ” he said ; he died at thirty - seven .

a young west german working - class man wins the lottery and initiates a relationship with a man above his social standing .

gay and bisexual experience in this picture is fully integrated into full canvas of human , if not always humane , sexuality . this is in contrast to that handful of films in which fassbinder focused on same - sex relationships : the lesbian and bisexual women in the bitter tears of petra von kant , a transsexual in in a year of 13 moons , and the gay men in fox and his friends ( in which he starred ) and querelle . of course , many of his films include same - sex experience in the magins , whether it is actually crucial ( as in love is colder than death , where the action arguably hinges on the unspoken desire of the two male leads , played by fassbinder and lommel ) or more peripheral ( for instance , in chinese roulette there is the sexually ambiguous philosopher cum handyman , gabriel ; and the silent governess , traunitz , and even her machiavellian charge , angela , are possibly lesbian or bisexual ) . in beware of a holy whore , fassbinder has the relative freedom of exploring same - sex relationships in the insular world of moviemaking ; although on another level the characters  and we  all know that this is not how things are outside of these confines .

fassbinder was an extraordinary artist , but he was also a great showman on both sides of the camera . people who come to this film hoping for a peek into fassbinder ' s tumultuous private life will not be disappointed ; but the film offers much more than self - satire , as we will see . although most of his films were compassionate studies of outcasts and loners , fassbinder cultivated a controversial , even notorious , public persona . as a filmmaker , he was often accused  even by friends and lovers  of being demanding and almost impossible to work with ; yet most faithfully continued with him on film after film . he was also proudly and defiantly gay , an artist , a leftist , and an intellectual ( of the non - pedantic sort ) in a society which rarely prized those qualities ; and he did not hide the fact that he enjoyed living on the edge , and that included alcohol , drugs , and some tempestuous affairs  all of which was lapped up by the tabloid press . but as titillating as those aspects of his life may be to some , fassbinder emerges , through his works , as a fantasticallly complex individual . all of those qualities can see in beware of a holy whore , whose tongue - in - cheek title both threatens and teases us into fassbinder ' s world .

roger ebert became film critic of the chicago sun - times in 1967 . he is the only film critic with a star on hollywood walk of fame and was named honorary life member of the directors ' guild of america . he won the lifetime achievement award of the screenwriters ' guild , and honorary degrees from the american film institute and the university of colorado at boulder .

that visual sense of trapped - ness intensifies the almost incestuous nature of this overly tight - knit group , who are hundreds of miles from home , frustrated in a myriad of ways , and all stewing together in what feels like a giant pressure cooker . but in addition to all of the angst , fassbinder also mines a rich , sometimes sardonic , vein of humor . with the exception of his wicked farce satan ' s brew ( which is his other great self - satire ) , this is his most hilarious picture .

fassbinder ' s use of music connects with his precise use of rhythm , both within scenes and in the overall flow of the film . he edited virtually all of his films ( often under the pseudonym of his small - time gangster character " franz walsch " or without taking credit ) which gave him exceptional control of pacing . one of his favorite techniques  as we can see throughout this film  was to slow a scene , especially one with passionate but unspoken emotion , to a painfully slow crawl , forcing us to pull away from the non - action even as we engage on a deeper level with the characters .

. there are 25 speaking roles in this film , and as such it presents those characters in a superficial way because the 100 minute running time of the film does not allow enough time to fully develop some of the more interesting minor characters . these minor characters are symbolic of real - life people who were part of

this autobiographical satire is one of the most probing and hilarious films about filmmaking , and a pivotal work in fassbinder ' s career .

in rainer werner fassbinder’s brazen depiction of the alternating currents of lethargy and mayhem inherent in moviemaking , a film crew—played by , and not so loosely based on , his own frequent collaborators—deals with an aloof star ( eddie constantine ) , an abusive director ( lou castel ) , and a financially troubled production . inspired by the hellish process of making whity earlier the same year , this is a vicious look at behind - the - scenes dysfunction .

the camera never moves during this speech , and there’s not a shred of plot to it . in fact , this character barely makes an impression through the rest of the film . this whole bit could seem like a lark - - in which fassbinder allowed his friend schroeter , whose work fassbinder admired , a few minutes of screen time to tell a story - - except for the fact that all of fassbinder’s recurring themes are present . friends and lovers in the film go and go as though everyone is acting , which , since they are making a film within the film , they are . characters step in and out of sexual identities as quickly as deiters’ characters do . relationships come and go , bringing with them unwanted entanglements , and taking with them individuals’ sense of identity . in one sense , the characters lounging around the film set are all cartoon characters who suffer abuse , then find someone else and rebound .

je : inspired choice , scott . there ' s scarcely any movement in the shot at all . as you say , schroeter hardly moves , and the camera is stationary . but there ' s something going on here . that grating , whirring sound ( how characteristically fassbinder to provoke and irritate the audience from the beginning ) may be the amplified sound of film going through a camera . at any rate , because of the sound , and the lack of movement , you do become intensely aware that this is , as you note , a performance taking place in front of a camera - - in a film about filmmaking , where the actors are often arranged flatly across the frame , as though in a proscenium , before a stationary camera - - as in the famous final shot ( a zoom ; no camera move ) , which dissolves into the quote from thomas mann : " and i say to you that often i am weary to death of depicting human nature without partaking in human nature . " a devastating statement for an artist to make , but not an uncommon sensation - - particularly for a filmmaker as concerned with artifice and melodrama as fassbinder .

all of that smashing points to some of the film ' s darker recesses . yes , the shattered glasses joke is very funny , especially in its repetitiveness ; it even works as a form of dramatic / comic punctuation throughout the entire picture . but it also indicates the range of frustrations which the characters feel . although two of the women crew members , early on , remark that " this place is crawling with gays , " sexuality  and human interaction  takes on almost every conceivable form in this picture , as almost everyone tries to hook up with someone who does not want them .

the comedy runs the gamut from playful to horrific , often with a nod to earlier films . for instance , when jeff makes his long - awaited , and grand , entrance by helicopter , fassbinder reminds us of hitler ' s arrival by air in triumph of the will , but with more than a dash of la dolce vita . examples of the film ' s most trenchant laughs bring to mind such pitch black comedies about filmmaking as wilder ' s sunset blvd . ( 1950 ) , even as they look ahead to altman ' s the player ( 1992 ) . but this film is pure fassbinder .

this film once asked fassbinder  with his awareness of the complex nature of experience , whether in cinema or life , with its constant pull between the spiritual and the profane  if he can do better than jeff .

fassbinder ends his film on a subtle , visceral note . with the donizetti aria we heard before under irm ' s departure , he gives us a slow zoom into jeff ' s face , who repeats the same chilling line which ricky spoke , to himself , earlier : " i guess i won ' t be content until i know that he ' s been completely destroyed . " there is the profoundly contradictory jeff , with his iconically beautiful male face , and the corrosive rage from his dire lack of self - understanding . he is an artist in command of his medium . . . if not himself .

fassbinder goes still further , and gives irm ( with her curly hair and red dress she ironically resembles plucky little orphan annie as much as irm hermann ) one of the most poignant  albeit self - pitying  moments in the film when later he holds on her in a motorboat , moving ever farther away from the hotel  she is one of the few characters who ever gets out  while under he plays maria callas ( i believe ) singing a haunting , gorgeous donizetti aria . ( it is worth nothing that there are some other significant " slaps " later on  one of which is directed at jeff ; although i do not want to give them away here , i encourage you to consider their impact  pun intended  on the characters and themes . )

the speech is a performance bit , yet another constant reminder from the brecht - disciple that all acting and moviemaking are all artificial representations of life , though they are every bit as important as reality . in one sense , this is fassbinder’s mirror film , where he shows us a film set and lets us see the folly behind the method . in another sense , he plays with the roles such that what we expect to see and what we see never converge ; another actor plays the person we expect to be fassbinder , while fassbinder plays someone else . eddie constantine and hanna schygulla play versions of themselves , but the audience has to question whether they are playing the film “straight " or as we expect them to be , or the director’s version . what makes the scene particularly interesting – - and unsettling – - is that there’s a mechanical noise , like a car running , under the whole speech . it is too loud to be unintentional , but we never see nor are we told what it might be . it is as though fassbinder is cueing the audience in that what you see and what you hear are not necessarily in synch , that there’s always something just out of our comprehension in every single image and piece of dialogue .

fassbinder ' s acute self - awareness also reflects the crucial theme of voyeurism in this film , and so many of his others , as well as in the experience of filmwatching itself . the key figure representing voyeurism is korbinian ( played by ulli lommel ) . although married ( we never see his wife ) , he pines over jeff like a lovesick schoolboy , saying , " you can treat me however you like , because what you do as an artist has quality . " but jeff isn ' t biting ; he just says , " piss off . " one of the most shocking scenes in the film comes during a lengthy conversation between korbinian and jeff , who has his back to him as he frantically types away , probably rewriting his screenplay . all this time , korbinian leans against the door with his hand down his pants , quietly stroking himself . ( this scene takes on even more complex overtones when you recall that in fassbinder ' s first film , love is colder than deat h , lommel played bruno , with whom franz walsch ( fassbinder ) was in love ; and here lommel is the one hot for fassbinder , in his guise as jeff . )

fassbinder presents several character surprises , including the fact that the producer manfred is gay . after jeff tries , and fails , to make ricky jealous by flirting with women , manfred sees through ricky ' s bravado ( he tells people that he only sleeps with jeff " for the money " ) . the producer tells jeff , " i was with a guy like that for two years . only later did i realize that he must have suffered like a stuck pig . " jeff shrugs , " what ' s that supposed to mean ? " unless we think that manfred is the film ' s late - blooming source of wisdom , he later tells jeff  in a line which again connects the violence and sexuality themes  that " sometimes i could kill you . sometimes i could tear the clothes off you . " some people never learn . . . even if they are cartoon characters . . . .

in striking contrast , the central character is intensely problematical ; in fact , jeff encapsulates the film ' s fundamental concerns and dilemmas . on the one hand , his love and understanding of filmmaking is clear , even in his petulance . he even seems to have come to some degree of self - understanding , as when he tells the long - suffering sascha , " you know what the worst thing is ? when one realizes how damn brougeois one is oneself . " but that is not enough to free him from the twisted , self - destruction path we see him following throughout the film .

once you read this book , you will see why artists have made new mexico their home for many years . something about the desert , sunshine and magnetism of the earth and the people draw you here .

“3 nights in the desert” is a middling drama starring amber tamblyn , wes bentley and “boardwalk empire’s” vincent piazza as erstwhile members of a rock band that almost made it , reuniting after several years’ estrangement . needless to say , a lot of unresolved issues rise from hibernation during this rural weekend , but the characters , situations and dialogue too seldom escape cliche in gabriel cowan’s watchable but unmemorable feature . cast names should assure some cable and download sales .

had to check the walkthrough for the 4 # ' s and the order of symbols . in the walkthrough there are x ' s on the blocks where the worm is but not in my game . and no hint i could see for symbols .

in the climactic scene , we see the stallion set free , running ( in slow motion ) toward other horses , somewhere in what is left of untamed nature in the west . it is now free to live according to its nature , rather than as a character in one of ampco ' s demeaning dramas .

kerr , the mayor , said he doesn ' t worry much about other cities muscling in on adelanto ' s turf . the city has already gotten a jump on the competition by being among the first in the state to bring growers out into the open .

" we were $ 2 . 6 million in the red , " mayor kerr said . " now we ' re about maybe a half a million to three - quarters in the red . by june we should be in the black . "

“in 10 years we’ll be famous or dead , ” chirps one protag in an old college - radio interview we hear off the bat . in the present tense , however , only anna ( tamblyn ) has achieved fame as a pop princess . drummer barry ( piazza ) opted for the stability of becoming a tax attorney with standard - issue wife and mortgage . after a long collective silence , they’ve been summoned to the desert by erstwhile wild man and guitarist travis ( bentley ) , who simply vanished from contact in the interim .

but , later , we see the public in another role , as a supporter of the side of right . here , once the public learns the truth about the mistreatment of the horse , it rallies to steele ' s side .

unfortunately , it seems that he also suffers from a kind of alienation that is common in a culture of simulation - - everything in him resists being turned into the walking embodiment of hype . he has no idea how to project an image of himself or the product or the company , nor does he have any interest in doing so , preferring to escape his sense of disquiet over what he has become by losing himself in a different kind of illusion , dispensed from a bottle . at one of many events in which he rides before the public in flashing lights , he shows up intoxicated and falls off , a cardboard cutout of a cowboy who keeps falling down on the job .

in the last few decades , we have seen the emergence of a new kind of culture in america based on manipulated images , marketing , themed entertainments and hyped up television news stories . in effect , we have seen the rise of the image and , as the historian daniel boorstin predicted at the beginning of the 1960s , as image has come to dominate , values have fallen away .

the symbols are in order , from left to right , but not all of the symbols are available to be used .

while adelanto was among the first cities in southern california to approve industrial cultivation , it increasingly faces competition from throughout the state . communities in the salinas valley say they have the agricultural know - how and ideal climate for marijuana . those in northern california have a long history and culture of large - scale cultivation .

while it strains belief a bit that the isolated home travis built himself should look like a squatter’s shack on the outside but a resort rental on the inside , the pic is otherwise smoothly packaged , with shots of the spectacular socal desert surroundings supplying one reliable pleasure . the original songs performed ( though not written ) by tamblyn and bentley , however , do not suggest the world lost much when this fictive band broke up .

meanwhile , through various acts of con artistry , the reporter finds steele on the run , out in the open country of the west , and tries to talk him into telling her his story .

the contradictions inherent in the movie ' s role as image - buster and image fabricator , truth - teller and manipulator , are particularly evident in the way it portrays a fourth player , namely the public , which is , of course , ourselves . on the one hand , the public is depicted as consisting of fans who love the manufactured cowboy and the manufactured food he endorses , and are oblivious to the deception and degradation involved . this aspect of the public is dramatized in a scene early in the movie in which steele shows up late and drunk to a publicity event that will take place before a big crowd . as a result , a double is put in his place , riding around with electric lights - - a fake impersonating a fake .

from the very beginning , “escape from l . a . ” warns you not to get comfortable . the ending of “yes and , ” which showed bojack driving away from his toxic life in los angeles , was more hopeful for bojack than not . he not only got to new mexico in one piece , but he found the woman who liked him before he was famous , the woman who made him wonder , “what if ? ” but just like when she said she doesn’t actually live in that idyllic maine cottage he’s always imagined at herb’s funeral , charlotte immediately sets bojack straight . no , she doesn’t care about this turquoise crap , and no , she hasn’t been waiting for him . thirty years later , charlotte has a family , and bojack is once again left out in the cold wondering what in the hell he’s been doing with his life . it’s jarring after the seemingly optimistic ending “yes and , ” but it’s not exactly surprising . the real surprise is when “escape from l . a . ” uses one of bojack horseman ’s abrupt cuts to the future , and it’s not just twenty minutes later .

“3 nights in the desert” is a middling drama starring amber tamblyn , wes bentley and “boardwalk empire’s” vincent piazza as erstwhile members of a rock band that almost made it , reuniting after several years’ estrangement . needless to say , a lot of unresolved issues rise from hibernation during this rural weekend , but the characters , situations and [ … ]

bojack has pushed the boundaries before , but this latest betrayal cuts the deepest . “escape from l . a . ” is an unequivocal condemnation of its main character , which is a huge risk . it’s a wrenching , searing , unrelenting episode of television will remain a series standout whether or not it pays off .

james previti , a developer in the inland empire , is building 21 units for marijuana cultivation in adelanto . he hopes to sell each for $ 7 . 5 million . ( patrick t . fallon / for the times )

" more often than not , the people that i have been affiliated with for the last 20 years like working in the gray area…these guys are old , salty , locked in their ways , " said corey , who asked that his last name not be published because marijuana remains illegal at the federal level .

but there is plenty of uncertainty about how this will play out in this long - struggling city , where 40 % of residents live in poverty .

in recent years , the town has welcomed prisons to bring in needed revenue . there ' s now an immigration detention center , a county jail and a privately run prison housing state inmates .

cacti and succulents in a range of pot sizes and price points , including 306 packs , 1 - quart , 2 . 5 - quart , 3 - quart and 2 - gallon pots . varieties include flamboyant desert rose ( with striking red , pink or white flowers ) , low - growing echeverias and aloes , and upright cacti .

to some degree , these two depictions of the public capture contradictory aspects of the american people . still , it transforms the public into hero for an obvious reason : if it were to portray the public primarily as a dupe and willing accomplice , the story would have been less emotionally satisfying for audiences and had less market appeal . in other words , the movie transforms the image of the public to that of a hero because it is responding to the same market pressures that lead the fictional ampco to hang lights on sonny steele .

the plot thickens as steele , who is supposed to do a las vegas show with rising star in those electric lights , becomes upset at the degradation that both he and the horse are subjected to , and at the fact that the company is pumping the horse with steroids to increase its muscle mass , and giving it other drugs to calm it down and make it possible for it to walk with a strained tendon . in response , steele does what his name says - - he takes the multi - million - dollar stallion , riding it down a las vegas show ramp at caesar ' s palace ; through a casino , where luck and fate have themselves been turned into commodities ; and down the ultimate commodified and themed street of the las vegas strip , a man wearing a suit of flashing lights on a street of neon . he then rides off into the desert , with the intention of setting the horse - - and himself - - free .

but in the end , all these significant moments are still nothing compared to the one i ended up choosing , the one that makes this episode so crucial and so brutal to watch . this is the moment where bojack embraces the worst parts of himself , resigns himself to being broken—and devastates people he truly cares about .

two months later , bojack is still in new mexico , slinging up pancakes and sleeping in the driveway in the boat he bought at a fictional boat show . ( bojack really should be better at lying by now . ) his life with charlotte’s family is picture perfect , which the episode drives home with fake sitcom credits that deliberately echo those of horsin’ around . as with everything good in bojack’s life , though , this happy honeymoon period has an ominous cloud hovering over it . this life isn’t sustainable ; he still has feelings for charlotte ; he’s getting awfully close with her teenage daughter . it’s only a matter of time until bojack realizes this latest escape isn’t a permanent fix . once that happens , there’s no telling just how badly he’ll self - destruct—or how badly he’ll hurt someone else .

essentially a remake of wb ' s earlier film the petrified forest , starring the incomparable humphrey bogart . this film would have benefitted from a star of his charisma or magnitude , since the escaped nazi pows in this film lack the menace of duke and his gang . nonetheless it is still a serviceable thriller . it ' s worth the brisk runtime though to see how an earlier plot and character archetypes are retooled for relevance on the american home front in 1944 .

the movie takes place in the west , where the new image - based culture , epitomized by las vegas , coexists with an older economy of ranches and towns that still maintains some sense of connection to the still older economy of the old west . inside this setting , it shows us four kinds of players that now characterize this culture , as they interact and play out roles that represent trends in contemporary society .

" they don ' t know the difference , " one of the producers of the show sardonically tells him , making clear that the movie is pointing a finger of blame at the public for allowing itself to be manipulated by this culture of images . ( the scene also conveys another message , of course : in a world of false appearances , we are all replaceable . )

as the plot thickens , hunt sears does what his name says and has his operatives hunting for steele . the reporter then treks with steele across the desert to the place where he plans to set the horse free , in the hope that she can persuade or trick him into letting her videotape its release . he refuses and symbolically throws away her camera , because it is weighing them down . she then has a real adventure with him and a real love affair , and is changed as a result , to the point where she is able to see him as something other than as raw material for a " story " , and thus agrees to keep the place where the horse will be released a secret . along the way , she loses her bravado , as well , and it becomes clear that she is being set free a little bit also .

i’ve been avoiding articles and interviews about the series in case of spoilers , but i have to say that todd vanderwerff’s claim that bojack is the new mad men makes a lot more sense after this episode .

a good example of these works is the 1979 movie the electric horseman , directed by sydney pollack and starring robert redford and jane fonda . unlike many similar works , it doesn ' t warn us about the danger of this new culture of images by portraying the future as it might evolve from our present - day excesses . instead , it depicts the role of the image in contemporary america and manages to capture many of the trends that now dominate our very real world of illusion .

in 1917 mabel sterne , patron of the arts and spokeswoman for the new york avant - garde , came to the southwest seeking a new life . this autobiographical account , long out - of - print , of her first few months in new mexico is a remarkable description of an easterner ' s journey to the american west . it is also a great story of personal and philosophical transformation . the geography of new mexico and the culture of the pueblo indians opened a new world for mabel . she settled in taos immediately and lived there the rest of her life . much of this book describes her growing fascination with antonio luhan of taos pueblo , whom she subsequently married . her descriptions of the appeal of primitive new mexico to a world - weary new yorker are still fresh and moving .

second , it shows us steele , a five - time rodeo champion who , like many other people , has found a niche for himself in the new economy as a human image . once , he performed in rodeos , which offered audiences a theatrical and ritual reenactment of the substance of the old west that still had some connection to the social reality it depicted . like gladiator games , they weren ' t merely " shows " but life - and - death contests in which the subduing of nature that was once the essence of the west , was depicted by a genuine struggle . but now , like much else around him , steele has become a themed ( which is to say , falsified ) version of himself , a character in ampco ' s universe of reinvented reality .

" we ' re afraid then we ' ll have empty business parks because the cannabis people have bought up all the land and all the businesses , " she said .

hezekiah allen , executive director of the california growers assn . , said those rules have shown prospective investors that cashing in on marijuana won ' t be simple .

third , the movie shows us a celebrity television reporter , played by jane fonda , who has made a name for herself acting as a simulation - buster or exposer of just the kind of manipulations ampco specializes in . but she has , herself , made a fortune packaging reality into hyped - up stories , as a form of entertainment , and distorting it in the process .

but in this same period of time we have also witnessed another development - - novels , movies , television programs and social critiques now routinely portray this new culture and try to understand it . as we will see throughout this site , these works convey the same set of messages over and over , making clear that they are expressions of a deep and , very likely , universal response we have to a world full of image and simulation . whether it is the 1970s science fiction story the futurological congress , which is described elsewhere , or a host of other works that will be examined , we are forever being shown characters who are trapped in worlds of falsehood and illusion . we follow their travails as they escape from their tinsel paradises and find a more authentic life .

ultimately , the real test of whether adelanto can bank on long - term income from marijuana is whether the new ventures setting up here can operate within the law as stable , profitable businesses .

most tempting was the final shot , where bojack gets back to his los angeles house and it’s a total pit . as he wades through the cans and bongs and filth , the first assumption is that this must be todd’s doing—and then he gets to the balcony and sees diane . these two have been in a dead heat for this season’s most prominent downward spiral ; it’s only fitting that they end up finding each other at the bottom .

at this point , ampco recognizes that steele represents a threat to its way of doing business . in particular , it fears that if he reveals the corporation ' s mistreatment of the horse , it will jeopardize a planned hostile takeover of another company .

bojack has never been an easy guy to like , which is by design . on the character’s part , bojack’s terrified of having people get to know him because he’s convinced his true self will repel them—just like what he figures happened with wanda , for instance . on the show’s part , there is a special challenge in getting us invested in someone like bojack . it’s incredibly difficult to sell the now ubiquitous antihero as someone we should care about because…well , antiheroes are assholes . who cares if a washed up sitcom actor drinks his life away in a hollywood hills mansion ? who cares if his dream movie becomes a joke ? who cares if he pushes people away when he’s so awful to them in the first place ? the series so far has been answering those questions by making us care about bojack as a specific ( horse ) person rather than a trope . it makes the moments when he really , truly fucks up that much worse .

having initially met because they all share the same birthday , they’ve ostensibly gathered now to celebrate turning 30 . but travis clearly has a hidden agenda or three : it’s soon obvious he wants to reunite on a professional as well as personal basis . but since he was the one who impulsively broke up the band just when they were getting somewhere — and remains the person most likely to pick at everyone else’s sore spots — the others are less than overjoyed by that proposal . then there’s all the romantic baggage to sort through , since barry was / is in love with anna who was / is in love with travis who maybe was / is in love with barry ( this last dynamic is just vaguely hinted at ) . when not yelling at each other or storming off , the characters take turns entering a local cave travis claims has mystical properties , where one’s true desires can be glimpsed .

adelanto ' s leaders have been desperate to cure the city ' s economic woes for years . in 2013 , the city of 32 , 000 residents declared a fiscal emergency and has since continued working to stave off insolvency . there was talk of dis - incorporation and bankruptcy .

through the wonders of marketing and advertising , ampco has created a false public image of itself in which it is identified with one of its many properties - - the $ 12 million thoroughbred , rising star . to sell its cereal , " ranch breakfast , " it has similarly turned a rodeo champion , " sonny " steele , into a comic book version of a cowboy , pasting his face ( or a version of his face altered by the art department ) on cereal boxes . steele often appears in public in garish , multi - colored cowboy costumes that seem to have purple as their default mode , usually atop a horse , as both he and the horse are bedecked by flashing lights .

it ' s a remake of " the petrified forest " with nazis in place of gangsters , and a much worse cast . just competent enough to not be laughable , but that competence is what makes it boring .

as a result of the news story she did before they went on their trek , the truth comes out ; public opinion rallies to steele ' s side , and ampco suddenly claims that once its own investigation revealed what was happening to the horse , it agreed with steele . the system is as corrupt as it was before , but authenticity has won a small victory over the manipulated image .

when charlotte walked in on bojack and penny , i gaped at my screen in horror . i saw it coming , but i hoped otherwise . i hoped bojack would learn his lesson . i hoped bojack would resist the urge to fuck everything up , again . i hoped he would give me a reason to keep rooting for him . he doesn’t . it’s disgusting . but it makes perfect sense for his actively destructive character , and it’s bold as hell for this so - called comedy to embrace just how horrifying the consequences could be . again , the reason why it at all works is because the people involved are aware of just how far they’ve pushed their “protagonist” over the line . bojack and penny acting on their flirtation is never depicted as anything other than creepy . even as penny insists this is what she wants , it is always clear that bojack is the adult who needs to shut it down . no matter how many times he protested before , the fact is that even giving in once is too much .

after i got over my initial “holy shit” reaction / dread at having to write this one up , my first thought was shock that no one spoiled this episode in the comments . credit where it’s due , thank you all very much . let’s keep the streak going for just one more episode , shall we ?

" we ' re talking about a 300 million dollar merger . . . if steele talks to anyone before he ' s caught , we have no merger . ampco and the horse are the same thing . if we ' ve mismanaged the horse , we ' ve mismanaged the corporation .

as this brief summary makes obvious , the electric horseman tries to get its audience to experience some very large truths about contemporary society , which were already obvious when the movie was made . by inviting us to identify with the hero and the horse he rescues , as he takes his pilgrimage from image to nature , from a false life on camera to an authentic life off , it tries to get us , symbolically , to take the same journey . the movie wants to , itself , be a simulation - buster and hero , leading us out of the false paradise of illusion that is contemporary culture .

mabel luhan came to taos to find herself . this turned into impacting the northern new mexico region by attracting the world ' s and america ' s intellectual and arts elites to the region . she writes to portray a native american pastoral scene that is shown through her viewpoint , but probably not as it actually was . this is a great read before delving into the more current publication by its editor revealing the psychiatric foundation for mable ' s authorship and her life long challenges - - including marrying and separating her husband from his taos pueblo culture . if you visit taos , and want to see her home and its related buildings , be prepared for an unfriendly welcome by the staff at the now bed and breakfast conference center , probably because the luhan myth contrasts with the truth .

i am unable to play games on mouse city anymore without turning on ad blocker . i don ' t mind ads , but they need to not completely disrupt gameplay . i know selfdefiant that you aren ' t in control of that , but if you have any influence on mouse city please let them know that there are too many ads and that some of the video ads they allow that hijack the screen are too disruptive . other than that , this was a harder one . once i figured out the vines needed to be clicked in order , everything else fell into place . thanks sd !

this book is a captivating story of a woman finding herself . a rare opportunity to view new mexico through the eyes of a woman sharing her intimate view of a time that was full of change for women , native americans & taos before it was popularized . highly recommend to anyone interested in the southwest culture , history . also a beautiful love story .

" as we see the detailed regulations and folks understand this is not going to be an easy , free - for - all transition , i think that ' s starting to temper the expectations of easy returns , " allen said . " the gold rush , gold fever led a lot of folks to make some business decisions that aren ' t as in touch with california ' s marketplace , but i think that is mellowing down a bit . "

one player it shows us is a multi - billion dollar conglomerate known as ampco , epitomized by an amoral corporate executive , hunt sears . ampco is very much a part of the new west and the new world of manipulated appearances that characterizes the late twentieth century . its modus operandi is to convert reality into fantasy , turning whatever it touches into a form of entertainment , to lure consumers into buying its products . for ampco , the world is the raw material for the creation of images that are , themselves , either commodities or sales pitches that can be used to sell commodities .

mabel dodge luhan must have been quite a charasmatic woman and certainly left a strong imprint on taos , new mexico during her life there . this book is her ' spiritual ' journey from her superficial life on the east and west coasts to one of more meaning and simplicity in taos . she is engaging ( albeit at times quite repetitive writer ) and her scenes of daily life and travel in new mexico are vivid and appealing . however , to me she comes across as incredibly self - absorbed and insensitive ( which she acknowledges in her past life , but claims she ' s transcended now that she ' s been exposed to the mysteries of tony luhan ' s inner peace ) . she treats her third husband like an annoyance , until she packs him off , and has a young son who merits only a few pages where we are assured he ' s doing just fine , although his mother is certainly almost emotionally completely absent . a large part of her attraction to tony is that he is the first man she feels and enjoys being completely submissive to . i realize i ' m reading a book written in the early 20th century with a 21st century sensibility - so all the mystical awakening is most definitely old hat by now and gender roles still very much called for submission to male authority . in the end , mabel seems like someone who would certainly be interesting to know , but not someone with whom you ' d want to trust your heart .

since the city allowed cultivation , 56 businesses have secured permits , but only a dozen firms have so far secured a business license , the final step before they can open , city officials said .

" i finished it in a state of amazed revelation . . . it is so beautifully compact and consistent . . . . it is going to help many another woman and man to ' take life with the talons ' and carry it high . " - - ansel adams

at this point we see another side to the simulated society , in which a war of demonizing and idealizing images takes places to win a political battle . on one side , ampco leaks misleading information ( based on a grain of truth about steele ' s drinking ) , alleging that steele is an alcoholic and a drug addict , and potentially dangerous to the horse . having invented steele as an idealized hero , it will now reinvent him as a villain . on the other side , steele , with no other way to defend himself , allows the reporter to tell his story . she conveys a real but over - heroized image of his good self and good intentions that will undo the misleading image created by ampco .

some symbols are not used , it would be too easy if only the ones used were around . : )

but there is another reality that it fails to adequately take into account , namely that it is also , like the creations of the fictional ampco , a collection of manipulated - - idealizing and demonizing - - images , designed to sell itself and its message . like many stories told with images , it is a form of ideology that takes the form of reality to show us its point and involve our emotions , rather than trying to convince us with arguments . through its manipulations , we come to hate the machinations of business ; we come to see simplified entertainments as sinister and authentic nature as good ; and we come to see the news media as flawed , but essentially on the side of right .
