Tumbbad Week 2 Collections: This Mytho-Horror Remains Steady and Collected This Total
Content is having a golden run at the box office this year and attracting the audience of all ages. Yes, the center of the conversation here is the last week's release Tumbbad-the mythological-horror-mystery. Tumbbad is not only getting oodles of praise by the masses but the critics are also loving this thrilling journey.
The day 7 box office collections of Tumbbad have come and what we witness is the victory of content here. It started its second week with the collection of ₹ 70 lakhs on Monday, ₹ 72 lakhs on Tuesday, the same ₹ 72 lakhs on Wednesday and ₹ 46 lakhs on Thursday and ended up bagging a total of ₹ 5.85. Although, it's a low total for such an incredible film but Tumbbad has remained steady at the ticked-window and will mint more in the days to come because the word of mouth is super strong for the film.
Early Collections
As we predicted, the glowing word of mouth and rich content are playing crucial for this mythological-horror. Therefore, the film witnessed an upward trend on the weekend. Although, had a poor Friday and collected only ₹65 Lakhs at the box office. But leaving many predictions false, Tumbbad picked up the pace on Saturday and earned ₹1.15 cr and ₹1.45 cr on Sunday making it to a total of ₹3.25.
Although, we still think that the film has a great potential and will definitely prove to be a fair deal for its producers, distributors and cinema owners. However, to emerge as a winner, it has to maintain the same pace even on weekdays.
Tumbbad Day 4 Collections: ₹ 70 lakh
Tumbbad is steady at the box office and collects marginally more than its opening day (Fri.). As it was a working day on Monday, a fall was predicted but the rich content this horror-mythology carries is enabling it to stay steady even on the weekdays. We expect a rise in the Tuesday collections of Tumbbad. The trade analyst Taran Adarsh has recently revealed its figures and based on that he called the film steady.

Excerpted from Ben Foster:
Some types are (a lot) better suited for Product Management than others.
Since most people are familiar with Myers-Briggs and it offers a more robust profile than most other personality assessments I've seen, I'll use that standard. If you're not familiar with the Myers-Briggs type indicators, you should be. Having worked with literally hundreds of different Product Managers, I've also pulled together some observations about what works and what doesn't for each spectrum.
- Extrovert vs. Introvert: Get someone who is somewhere near the middle. Product Managers need to be comfortable working alone at a whiteboard for 3 hours and equally cofortable chatting it up in the hallway.
- Sensing vs. Intuiting: This is a no-brainer: N (intution) is better than S (sensing).
- Thinking vs. Feeling: Thinking is more important than feeling.
- Judging vs. Perceiving: Product Managers need a balance between the two.
(So) if I were forced to hire based on Myers-Briggs alone, I would hire my first Product Manager as an INTJ.
Here's how strongly correlated Product Management and Myers-Briggs assessments can be. Around early 2005, eBay did a Myers-Briggs analysis of the entire Product Management team (over 100 people), and the results were staggering: Entire U.S. population: only 2.1% is INTJ. eBay Product Management: INTJ accounted for over 50%.

Dear People's people,
First, I know many are eagerly awaiting the results of the Widening Our Welcome Survey. I am. At press time, we have not yet compiled the surveys. We will have results to share in January.
In August, a few dozen People's people gathered for a 'Crafting a Worship Mission' workshop. Julica Hermann de la Fuente and Glen Thomas Rideout guided us as we thought about who we are, what is holy, what happens when we gather together on Sunday mornings in The Commons, and how that is connected to the mission of our church. It was an inspiring afternoon with so many speaking their hopes for our Sunday services.
In the months since that workshop, a small team and I have been working to transform the many great ideas shared into a worship mission, which will guide me, our musicians, our Sunday services committee, and everyone else involved in creating worship at People's Church. We have our first draft. It is:
In search of the Beloved Community, we join together, combining our wisdom and resources, to honor our deeper connections to one another and celebrate the journeys of our lives. We create relevant multisensory worship that inspires and empowers transformation into our best selves. We challenge one another to offer love, justice, and compassion to ourselves, our relationships, our communities, and the world.
Does this sound like a church service you would like to attend? Does this have that balance of authenticity and aspiration possessed by good mission statements? To those of you who were with us in August, does this feel reflective of that time together?
We will be discussing these questions and receiving other feedback about this draft worship mission on Sunday, December 9 at 12:15pm in Room 19. Of course, if it is not possible for you to attend that day, please send your thoughts about the mission to me directly or schedule a time to talk. I love having conversations about Sunday services.
See you in church,

If you have interacted with steroids, you probably know that Trenbolone-based stacks are the most functional steroids athletes and bodybuilders can ever find. As a potent steroid, it is one of the most sought after steroids because it doesn't come with dangerous side effects. Besides, it can be used in various cycles and still maintain its versatility when bulking or cutting.
Get to Know More about Trenbolone Product
Table of Contents
It is popular and most searched steroid online by both newbies and experienced bodybuilders looking to get the most from a standalone steroid with a minimal workout. This compound has many features common to many other anabolic steroids that are known to stimulate muscle growth, strength, and ripping. What distinguishes this compound from the rest is the fact that it has mild androgenic properties. Thus it has softer and fewer side effects. As a steroid with powerful anabolic effects and less androgenic properties, Tren can help you achieve the following easily and quickly:
- Enhanced protein synthesis and increased nitrogen retention, which are critical components for increased muscle tissues.
- Improved strength and stamina necessary for longer workouts.
- Reduced pain and minimal to no fatigue after heavy workouts.
- Enhanced insulin sensitivity which is essential for maintaining muscle and bone tissues.
- Promotes the growth of blood cell count for increased oxygen delivery to all crucial parts of the body.
- Prevents the release of cortisol hormone, which is responsible for stress.
- Enhances the efficiency of nutrients in the body by promoting abruption of nutrients from the food for essential metabolism.
How Does Trenbolone Acetate Compare with Trenbolone Enanthate
When shopping for the compound, you need to know the different kinds of steroid. You can choose between the Acetate or Enanthate form, which can be found in both oral pills and injection forms. You can also find Trenbolone for sale in powder form so you can create your way for better ingestion. There are mild differences between the two: Tren acetate contains 87 mg of the natural ingredients in the 100 mg of the drug while the Enanthate version contains 72mg per 100 mg. Besides, they are formulated differently, so they have a different half-life. Accordingly, the acetate formulation has a shorter half-life compared, so one needs to take more doses for effective results. However, the enanthate version of Tren is not common so hard to get in most online stores. Generally, the acetate is considered less potent and pricey compared to the enanthate formulation.
Dosage and Caution
Both formulations have the same dosage except that you will take the acetate more frequently. For most male users, a 50-100mg dosage per day is versatile and can work well. You can also increase the doses per day, but you need to be careful not to heighten the risk level of Trenbolone Hexahydrobenzylcarbonate.

The Church of Baseball: "Bull Durham" explored two favorite national pastimes, baseball & sex
Bull Durham was partly-based upon writer/director Ron Shelton's own experiences playing Triple-A minor league baseball. You can watch excerpts from his debut film — which also features a lot of semi-raunchy slightly NSFW scenes which are primarily about American's other favorite pastime, sex — in this episode of Night Flight Goes to the Movies, which originally aired on June 17, 1988. It's streaming on Night Flight Plus.
Today, Bull Durham is considered something of a classic, an 80s love triangle set during the dogs days of summer among the players and fans of the Durham Bulls, a minor league baseball team based in Durham, North Carolina.
Baseball films had not historically fared very well at the box office up to that point in time, and Shelton had a helluva time convincing any major film studio to give him the opportunity to direct a film based on a screenplay he'd written himself.
Shelton — who had always wanted to play pro baseball while growing up in Santa Barbara, California, and graduating from Westmont College — almost got his wish, spending five seasons in the Baltimore Oriole's minor league system in Rochester, New York, playing second base alongside future major leaguers Don Baylor and Bobby Grich.
He just couldn't see himself playing in the minors forever, though, and ultimately quit in 1972. He got married, had a couple of daughters, and earned his MFA from the University of Arizona, eventually moving to Los Angeles, where he painted along with doing several odd jobs to support his family.
Eventually, Shelton began wanting to write about his experieces as a minor leaguer, and since he had been a longtime movie fan ever since watching Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch in 1969, it seemed like a natural fit for him to want to write a screenplay based on his own experiences, which included a lot of odd conversations on the pitcher's mound or, in his words, "absurd arguments with umpires."
Shelton didn't really like the baseball movies he'd seen up to that point, which mainly repeated all the usual cliché's and half-truths and tired old bromides that everyone had come to expect from most movies about baseball.
Instead, he decided he wanted to try to tell a different kind of story, one more accurate to what it was really like to play on a minor league team, a movie where the movie didn't win with a team hitting a game-winning home run with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning with two outs.
Bull Durham's witty storyline, which is rife with lots of real-life baseball truisms, chiefly follows the intertwined stories of three characters.
One is a veteran but washed-up minor league catcher named "Crash" Davis (Kevin Costner), who is hired by the Durham Bulls to mentor their young new pitcher Ebby "Nuke" LaLoosh (Tim Robbins), who apparently has both ego and discipline issues. We're told that Nuke possesses a "million-dollar arm and a five-cent head." —
There's also a third major character here, our actual protagonist, the sexy and philosophically-minded Annie Savoy (Susan Sarandon), a part time English lit teacher at a local Durham community college who becomes a Bulls players groupie each summer.
She's got her own mentorship ritual, which involves fucking one young rookie player, spreading her knowledge of not just baseball but also teaching about how to treat a woman sexually and how the two are intertwined for valuable life lessons.
She does this every season, and this season she has selected LaLoosh (choosing for him a new nickname since she doesn't like the current one he's brought to the team, which was "Meat"). She hopes to bring him luck on the mound, so to speak.
Annie not only offers the lucky guy batting advice and reads him poetry too, but once the season is over, so is their chance of a committed relationship as each go their own separate way, and so this is a limited offer for someone like LaLoosh.
Naturally, because both Crash and Nuke are attracted to Annie, opportunities arise for hilarious and sexy love triangle complications with profane-laced conversations about both baseball and sex (including a scene where Annie reads some of Walt Whitman's poetry to a tied-to-the-bed Nuke).
The screenplay wasn't the first time Shelton had written a script that was based on what really happens in minor league baseball. He'd written a previous screenplay titled The Player To Be Named Later, which was also based on the relationship between a pitcher and catcher playing for the same team.
For Bull Durham, Shelton decided that their story should be told from a woman's point-of-view.
He has claimed to have written Bull Durham after returning from driving around North Carolina on a road trip, completing it in about twelve weeks time.
Shelton also decided that since he'd had so much fun playing the minor leagues, that he wanted to make sure his movie was funny, and it really is, with some of its humor coming from amusing little comedic bits thrown in here and there, like the time Crash tells Nuke to deliberately throw a pitch at the Durham Bulls mascot (a man in a huge bull-headed costume).
That's not even the real pay-off in the scene, though, which comes immediately afterwards — and it's usually left out of clip shows about baseball movies, too — when Crash warns the batter that Nuke is so out-of-control that no one really knows who'll be bonked next, leading to the scared shitless batter at the plate striking out.
Pretty much every studio passed on Shelton's baseball project, though, but it did lead to him getting an agent and a job as a script doctor, rewriting the screenplay for Under Fire (1983), for director Roger Spottiswode.
He and Spottiswode also worked together on The Best of Times (1986), before Shelton decided to rework his baseball script again, this time adding in more about Annie's character, which he has said came about because he hated "how women had been portrayed in sports movies, and from my love and respect for women."
The newly-reworked screenplay was turned down by every studio again, sometimes twice, until he met with Orion Pictures, who, at the time, were already making a different baseball movie, John Sayles' Eight Men Out.)
They didn't want to let this one slip through their fingers, though, and gave him a budget reported to have been somewhere between $7.5 to $9 million dollars (sources vary on the actual final budget).
Many cast members had to accept salaries lower than their actual going rate at the time, and Shelton was given just eight weeks for his shooting schedule, which is considerably lower than most Hollywood films, although he was given more creative freedom than usually given first-time directors.
While Bull Durham is still sometimes getting called out on strikes for being too much of a "chick flick," mainly because the storyline concerns a sexy, comedic love triangle, the movie also manages to capture the reality of minor league baseball, including the chartered bus rides to the next sleepy little town on the schedule, the sweltering days of summer, and lots of knuckle-headed ball players you'd likely encounter along the way if you were playing in the minor leagues of America's greatest pastime (one of 'em).
Two of the actual minor league players who can be seen in the movie — Butch Davis and Kelly Heath — actually made it to the majors. They were trained by Grady Little, credited here as "baseball trainer" in the film's credits, who was actually the real manager of the Durham Bulls at the time, although he is also known for crushing the hearts of Red Sox fans during the 2003 American League Championship series too (look it up).
A lot of movie fans tend to forget that the film's strong sexuality, nudity and "pervasive language" actually earned it a hard "R" rating, and although there were a lot of scenes that pushed the envelope with very mature sexual content, the film could have easily earned itself an X rating had Shelton been able to film some of what he'd wanted to film.
Imagine that for a sec, an X-rated summer baseball movie! Play ball!
As it is, Bull Durham features quite a bit of foreplay, a little bit of sweaty sex, and lots of scenes of the characters basking in sexually-gratified afterglow: you're likely to see some bathtub fucking, some dancing to the Dominoes' "Sixty Minute Man," and even some erotic flirtations on a kitchen table while sharing a bowl of Wheaties, which everyone knows is the breakfast of sexual champions.
The film — which also casually equates baseball with spirituality and religion, too, having its own incumbent rituals and and scenes of worshipping at altars, even hints of faith in the non-traditional religions, lke voodoo and witchcraft — has some of the best dialogue you're likely to hear in any 1980s-era movie.
There are all kinds of little bits of twisted cinematic ephemera and oddball references to real-life historic events, like mentions of whether Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination of JFK, or whether the novels of Susan Sontag are "self-indulgent, overrated crap" (much of the dialogue, in fact, would not have seemed too out-of-place in an 80s-era Woody Allen movie).
Of course, some of the best examples of Shelton's writing are the oft-repeated monologue voiceover by Annie Savoy, which Shelton puts at the beginning of the film, making this Annie's story as much as anyone's.
Here, Annie Savoy compares baseball to sex and religion, rejecting the latter in favor of metaphysics:
"I believe in the Church of Baseball. I've tried all the major religions and most of the minor ones. I've worshiped Buddha, Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, trees, mushrooms, and Isadora Duncan. I know things. For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. When I learned that, I gave Jesus a chance.
But it just didn't work out between us. The Lord laid too much guilt on me. I prefer metaphysics to theology. You see, there's no guilt in baseball, and it's never boring, which makes it like sex. There's never been a ballplayer slept with me who didn't have the best year of his career."
"Making love is like hitting a baseball: you just gotta relax and concentrate. Besides, I'd never sleep with a player hitting under .250, not unless he had a lot of RBIs and was a great glove man up the middle. You see, there's a certain amount of life wisdom I give these boys. I can expand their minds.
Sometimes when I got a ballplayer alone, I'll just read Emily Dickinson or Walt Whitman to him, and the guys are so sweet, they always stay and listen. 'Course, a guy'll listen to anything if he thinks it's foreplay. I make them feel confident, and they make me feel safe, and pretty.
'Course, what I give them lasts a lifetime; what they give me lasts 142 games. Sometimes it seems like a bad trade. But bad trades are part of baseball – now who can forget Frank Robinson for Milt Pappas, for God's sake? It's a long season and you gotta trust it. I've tried 'em all, I really have, and the only church that truly feeds the soul, day in, day out, is the Church of Baseball."
Crash responds by saying, "I don't believe in quantum physics when it comes to matters of the heart."
When asked what he does believe in, he stops at the door, speaking with both aloofness and passion as he spells out his own belief-system for Annie (and Nuke, also present):
"Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days."
What many audiences didn't know at the time originally was that a lot of the film's dialogue was actually ad-libbed by members of the cast, including Robert Wuhl — who plays the motormouth pitching coach Larry Hockett — who joins a pitcher's mound meeting in progress and offers a suggestion about buying candlesticks for a wedding present.
Wuhl has said was based on a real-life conversation he'd had with his own wife, a week before the film started shooting, after she told him "Candlesticks always make a nice gift. Or find out where they're registered and perhaps a nice place setting."
Wuhl remembered their conversation when he was asked to ad-lib something for the mound meeting, but we've also read that the scene is actually based on something frequently said by a minor league catcher named Chris Coste, who played for ten years in the minors.
Although it may also be an apocryphal story which Wuhl may have read about or heard somewhere, he apparently would come out to the pitcher's mound and tell his former Phillies teammate, pitcher Clay Condrey, "I hear candlesticks make a good wedding gift" as a way of keeping things loose during the game that Condrey was pitching.
Shelton likely would not have been able to have made the movie without the help of Thom Mount, who co-produced the film.
Mount had by this time created his production company after spending years working in the Hollywood studio system, but his real love was minor league baseball, once saying that he thought that "Minor league ball is one of the last authentic bastions of small-town American life."
Since Mount was also a part owner in the real-life Carolina Leagues team, Durham Bulls, based in the Durham-Raleigh area in North Carolina, he was able to give Shelton access to the team's Durham Athletic Park, and El Toro Stadium, which added Americana-rich authenticity as well as the kind of small-town sense of community that just doesn't exist in the major urban areas of the country.
Although it's never mentioned during the film which major league team the Bulls are affiliated with, at the time of filming the real-life team were a Triple-A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves (in 2013, they would switch affiliations to become the farm team for the Tampa Bay Rays).
While there were a few shots of Crash Davis playing at Asheville's McCormick Field, and the scene in the film where Nuke is being interviewed was reportedly shot at Arlington Stadium, home field for the major league Texas Rangers, most of the film's baseball park scenes were shot at El Toro Stadium.
By the way, Robbins is seen wearing a t-shirt for the ska-punk band Fishbone in the scene; the band, one of Robbins' favorites, was also featured in the movie Tapeheads (1988), released later that same year, which we told you about in this exclusive behind-the-scenes post about that movie.
Robbins's Nuke actually wears several rock band t-shirts during the film, including shirts for Mötley Crüe and Iron Maiden.
El Toro stadium itself was professional-looking enough — the scoreboard clock seen in the film had originally been the same scoreboard at Brooklyn's long-gone Ebbets Field — but it still had that smalltown charm that the film needed, and the stadium itself is almost like a character in the film.
One of the most memorable things in the film, however, was the giant billboard depicting a huge bull who spews smoke from its horns whenever it is hit by a home run baseball — the team offers a "free steak" to the hitter — but it turns out it was actually created for the film.
The billboard was so popular with the Durham Bulls' fans, though, that the real-life baseball team kept it, even after moving to a larger stadium.
For the film, the bull billboard had to be moved from right field to left field because the Bulls had to redo the right field fencing (also, in reality, at the old Durham Athletic Park, the bull was actually in foul territory).
Another memorable true-life part of the film was the inclusion of the much-beloved "Clown Prince of Baseball," Max Patkin, who had been in the clowning business since 1946.
The rubber-necked Patkin — who had even once been made a uniformed "coach" by the Cleveland Indians' Bill Veeck — was given a full-fledged featured role in Bull Durham, including a post-game dance with Susan Sarandon at a Durham tavern.
Those scenes were filmed at Mitch's Tavern, a real bar located on Hillsborough Street, across from North Carolina State University (the bar to this day maintains a lot of the fixtures and mementos from the filming, keeping its appearance the same as it was in 1988 for tourists and fans of the movie).
Originally, Shelton's film also had a scene which was shot in a black whorehouse and an alley out behind it, where Crash ends up fighting with a 60-year old black hooker, but a few weeks after the production wrapped, Shelton decided to re-shoot the scene in the pool hall tavern instead.
Patkin's movie character, by the way, was originally supposed to have died in a car crash, and his ashes were going to be sprinkled on the pitcher's mount, but that idea was smartly ditched (you can still see a scene in the film where Sarandon's Annie shows up at a game wearing a black veil, which is because she has just come from Patkin's funeral).
The real Max Patkin died on October 30, 1999.
The film is populated with actual Durham Bulls baseball fans and spectators who played along with the fact that they were appearing in a big budget Hollywood movie, something that probably wouldn't be as open to doing today, given today's dislike of all things Hollywood (except for movies based on comic book heroes, apparently).
Bull Durham might have been a very different film had the original actors that Shelton auditioned been cast in the film's key central roles.
Kurt Russell was just one of the many actors who had been involved in the project early on, and, in fact, he'd helped Shelton developed the character of Crash Davis and was supposed to have played him onscreen before Kevin Costner was cast in the part (he would later write "fan letters" to both Costner and Shelton, telling them how much he loved the film).
Nick Nolte, Harrison Ford, Mel Gibson, Jeff Bridges, Don Johnson and Tom Berenger were all considered for the role of Crash, but each of them either turned down the offer or weren't chosen for one reason or another. Nolte, who was one of the biggest box office stars at the time, wasn't much of a baseball fan to begin with as it turned out.
Apparently, Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis were also considered but both declined due to their commitment to the TV series "Moonlighting" were also considered to play the parts of Annie and Crash. That casting would have made for a much different, and sillier, movie.
Crash Davis — who we're told once spent twenty-one days in the "bigs" (i.e. the big leagues) — is probably the film's most pivotal role, of course, a veteran ball player who knows how to handle the media, in addtion to mentoring inexperienced young pitchers.
The role eventually went to Kevin Costner, who was coming off a couple of hit movies at the time, including Brian De Palma's The Untouchables and Roger Donaldson's No Way Out (both released in 1987).
Mount had wanted to work with Costner on a TV mini-series but the network had rejected the actor because he wasn't yet a star.
When Mount met Shelton, and read his screenplay, the producer immediately thought that Costner — who at the time was considering doing either Eight Men Out (1988) or Everybody's All-American (1988) at the time — but Mount thought he was perfect for the role, and pushed hard to make it happen.
When Costner read Shelton's screenplay, he was impressed by the level of detail about that world, heretofore which hadn't been seen onscreen.
Shelton, meanwhile, turned out to be a big fan of Costner's, and had loved his work in both Fandango (1985) and Silverado (1985).
Costner — who had played some high school baseball, and apparently auditioned for Shelton at a batting cage in the San Fernando Valley, northeast of Los Angeles — turned out to have been a pretty good choice for a minor league ballplayer who still had skills on the diamond.
He was able to lend credibility to his role since the switch-hitter could actually hit from both sides of the plate with power as needed in the script. During filming, Costner was actually able to hit two home runs while the cameras were rolling.
There apparently was a real "Crash" Davis, by the way, and Ron Shelton had found his name listed among minor league players (he also played for the American Legion league).
Shelton is said to have approached the former player, who asked if the character played by Kevin Costner gets the girl in the end? Shelton told him he does (spoiler alert!), and Davis gave the director permission to use his name.
Former semi-pro ball player Pete Bock — who spent three years as a pro umpire in the Appalachian, South Atlanta and Carolina leagues before spending several years as general manager of the Durham Bulls — was credited as the film's baseball advisor.
Bock is reported to have said about Costner's actual skill level, "I'd sign Costner tomorrow if he quit acting. Kevin can hit from both sides of the plate with power. You believe the guy in closeups."
Bock — who was hired as a consultant on the film — actually ran a tryout camp to recruit an estimated forty to fifty players for Shelton's film, conducting twice-a-day workouts and practice games with Robbins pitching and Costner catching.
He also hired several minor league umpires who appear in the film and made sure the small-part actors and extras all looked convincing, wearing their uniforms properly and standing correctly in the field.
Costner — who wears #8 on his baseball jersey, which was the last number that director Shelton had worn when he played minor league baseball in Rochester — was in reality just three years older than Robbins at the time of filming (33 and 30, respectively).
Susan Sarandon — who became involved in a real-life long-term relationship with Robbins during the film's production, a relationship that lasted for more than twenty years — was actually 42 at the time of filming, making her the oldest of the film's three stars by more than nine years.
Her role was always meant to be played an older actress, according to Shelton's script, but Orion weren't too sure about Susan Sarandon — they thought her career was likely over by that point — and they didn't even want to pay for Sarandon's flight to L.A. (she was living in
Italy at the time).
Sarandon, after reading the script, paid for her own plane ticket, but she still had to go out of her way to convice Mike Medavoy, the co-founder of the studio that released the film, who, according to Mount, "thought Susan was too old and not funny."
Mount arranged a meeting between Medavoy and Sarandon and instructed the actress to go out and buy "a tight, tight dress that shows as much cleavage as humanly possible."
That's exactly what Sarandon apparently did, wearing an off-the-shoulder red-and-white-striped form-fitting dress to the meeting which apparently did the trick.
It also helped that Costner apparently used his recent box office status to fight to have Sarandon cast as Annie, as their believable chemistry together is quite good.
Glenn Close, who was forty years old at the time, had also auditioned for the role of Annie but was forced to turn the role down due to her commitment to the film Dangerous Liaisons (1988).
Among the slightly younger actresses who auditioned were Michelle Pfeiffer and Melanie Griffith, both 29 at the time, but they were ultimately passed over. Griffith was also busy filming the 1988 film Working Girl at the time and likely wouldn't have been able to do both films.
Kay Lenz, who was 34, was apparently one of Shelton's first choices to play Annie, but apparently Orion didn't feel she was bankable enough.
Other actresses who apparently auditioned for the role of Annie Savoy, but were also passed over for one reason or another, included Pamela Stephenson (she was 38 at the time), Isabella Rossellini (35), Kim Basinger (34), Kate Capshaw (34), Mary Steenburgen (34), Ellen Barkin (33), Debra Winger (32), Geena Davis (31), Carrie Fisher (31), and Kelly McGillis (30).
Her character name "Annie," by the way, is an actual term used in the minor leagues to describe a baseball "groupie" who fucks the players.
The role of Nuke was actually based on real-life minor leaguer Steve Dalkowski, who Shelton had actually played with back in his own minor league days.
Dalkowski, who was something of a legend for his fastball — he had a nine-year career in the minors, striking out an astounding 12.6 batters per nine innings on average — never actually played in the "show," which is the affection term used by minor league teams and management for the major leagues. He also walked 12.3 batter per nine innings, which may be one reason why he never made it to the bigs.
Shelton — according to what he's said on the Commentary track on the movie's DVD release — has said that he based the name for Robbins' character, the clueless Ebbie Calvin "Nuke" LaRoosh, on the real name of a waiter (whose nickname was actually "Nook" not "Nuke") who had served him once in a restaurant.
Executives at Orion Pictures had wanted Anthony Michael Hall to play Nuke, but when Shelton and producer Mark Burg met with Hall in New York, Hall not only showed up a half-hour late, he revealed that he hadn't even bothered to read Shelton's script.
They decided to meet again the next day, but when that meeting came around, Hall told Shelton he'd only read half of the script, and hearing that, Shelton got up and walked out of their meeting, and he later threatened to quit the film if he was forced to work with Hall, and so Orion backed off.
David Duchovney and Charlie Sheen also auditioned for the part. Sheen had to drop out of the running, though, as he was quickly signed to do another baseball movie, John Sayles' Eight Men Out, which became this film's major baseball film competition in 1988 even though it was distributed by the same parent film company, Orion.
The role eventually went to Robbins, a real baseball fan, and although Orion balked at first — they'd likely seen him in the 1986 flop Howard the Duck and didn't want a repeat performance — but Shelton threatened to quit the project if he wasn't cast in the role of Nuke. Orion remaned skeptical, just as they had remained skeptical about Sarandon too.
Some of the minor roles in the film are memorably played by actors you've no doubt seen in other films, including Trey Wilson, who played Durham manager Joe Riggins.
He'd just achieved some success the year before Bull Durham's theatrical release as Nathan Arizona in the Coen Brothers' 1987 film Raising Arizona.
Sadly, he died of a cerebral hemorrhage only days from his 41st birthday, seven months after this film's release.
Bull Durham was the first major film role for actress Jenny Robertson, who plays Annie's sexy friend Millie, and she has one of the best lines in the movie.
When asked by Annie was sex with Nuke is like she says, "Well, he fucks like he pitches: sorta all over the place."
Another actress, a virtual unknown at the time named Paula Abdul, didn't get the same opportunity to shine, however.
The former Laker Girl — who by then had had a few small movie parts under her belt, and apparently she wanted more — had been flown out from L.A. to Durham after she'd been hired as a choreographer to teach flashy dance moves to Tim Robbins for a scene taking place in that bar we mentioned.
Approaching Shelton on-set, she claimed that she'd been told by a producer that if she came all the way to North Carolina to teach Robbins his dance moves that she'd be given a speaking part, which wasn't true.
Shelton apologized and said that it hadn't been cleared by him, and after that apparently Abdul marched off-set, screaming at the director for not being hired for her acting talents.
Shelton didn't get the greenlight to put Bull Durham into production until late in the year, and since the movie was being filmed on location in North Carolina during October and November of 1987, the production staff had to repeatedly paint the baseball field green, to make it look like it had during the summer months.
In addition, many of the game scenes were shot at night to hide the fact that the leaves on the trees were already turning brown. It was already so cold at night that you can see the players' breath in some of the film's scenes.
One of the reasons that so many of the extras on the film seem to be wearing Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon t-shirts is that the filmmakers went to nearby Chapel Hill and recruited concertgoers who had come straight from a Pink Floyd concert, which is why so many of them also look more than a little stoned.
Execs at Orion remained worried about the film's casting and apparently, after watching dailies, Medavoy called Shelton on the set and ordered him to replace Robbins. Shelton again threatened to quit if Robbins was fired.
On the second day of dailies, one of the film's producers confided to Sarandon that she didn't look very good in her close-ups. Shelton exploded and went after the man, telling him, "You ever talk to my actors again, I'll kick your fucking ass!"
Bull Durham debuted on June 15, 1988 and grossed $5 million in 1,238 theaters on its opening weekend. It went on to gross a total of $50.8 million in North America alone, well above its estimated $9 million budget.
Bull Durham received mostly positive critical notices, from writers like the Chicago Tribune's Roger Ebert, who wrote, I don't know who else they could have hired to play Annie Savoy, the Sarandon character who pledges her heart and her body to one player a season, but I doubt if the character would have worked without Sarandon's wonderful performance."
Vincent Canby's review in The New York Times, said that, "As a director, [Shelton] demonstrates the sort of expert comic timing and control that allow him to get in and out of situations so quickly that they're over before one has time
to question them. Part of the fun in watching Bull Durham is in the awareness that a clearly seen vision is being realized. This is one first rate debut."
Shelton — who went on to become a big-time movie director, directing Costner again in Tin Cup, as well as directing White Men Can't Jump — was nominated for Best Original Screenplay at the Academy Awards (losing to Ronald Bass and Barry Morrow for Rain Man).
Most of the critical raves and awards for his screenplay came instead from the critics themselves, including the National Society of Film Critics, the L.A. Film Critics Association, the 1988 New York Film Critics Circle Awards and others, all of whom awarded Shelton their highest honors for his original screenplay.
In 2003, Sports Illustrated called Bull Durham the greatest sports movie ever made, and it was ranked #5 on the American Film Institute's list of the 10 greatest films in the genre "Sports" in June 2008.

The government's decision to seek leave to appeal against a ruling on business rates paid on cash machines places the issue of backdated rates refunds owed to retailers into limbo until the case is heard.
If leave is granted from the Supreme Court, an appeal hearing will follow at some point. Currently there are no indication of timescales.
The NFRN will continue to monitor developments.
NFRN welcomes landmark ruling on business rates for ATMs
9 November 2019
In a landmark decision, the Appeal Court has ruled that retailers will no longer have to pay business rates for cash machines outside their shops and that they will be refunded for the previous payments backdating to April 2010. The Court also ruled that shop owners should not pay business rates on ATM machines inside their stores.
The NFRN welcomed these decisions, which will benefit retailers, as well as consumers and local communities, with National President Mike Mitchelson describing the move as "a much-needed breath of fresh air."
The ruling will bring an estimated £300 million back to businesses which are struggling with burdensome business rates and an increasingly challenging economic environment.
Mr Mitchelson continued: "The NFRN has been calling for action on business rates for cash machines for some time so this news is very welcome. Convenience stores play a pivotal role in the survival of many local communities, where more and more vital services close down. In recent years, many bank branches in the UK have shut down, making access to cash increasingly difficult for consumers. As a result, consumers increasingly rely on ATM operators and retailers to access financial services. Without local convenience stores, the sustainability of these rural areas would clearly be under threat.
"Independent shopkeepers need more than ever to be supported to keep local communities thriving. Today's ruling is a step in the right direction and a much-need breath of fresh air."
In the coming weeks, the NFRN will work to ensure its members receive the refund that they have been granted today.

Since joining Hanni and her Hope Grows Day meme at Sweet Bean Gardening in March, I have been keeping track of my garden hopes for this gardening season in 2011 on the 5th of every month. I started by wanting to see my wonderful pond full of frogs and the water lilies blooming. Then my hope turned to having a good harvest, lovely flowers and lots of baby birds born in the yard. I ended July with hopes for lots of tomatoes.
And although this has not been a usual growing season, it has been filled with blooms, babies and harvest.
I love to grow gladiolas like the one pictured above. My mom grew them, and they remind me of her garden. One other big plus is the hummers just love them too. This year they have bloomed, but not lingered long. We had such a hot, humid, dry July it was hard to get anything to bloom for a long period of time. But they keep popping up. Even some I know I did not plant this year, but were planted last year. Now these are not perennials in my zone 5 garden, but I love these garden mysteries.
Within the last 2 weeks we have received 3 inches of rain. The garden is alive again.
The summer lettuce is going strong (bottom right), but the beans have been sparse still. I hope to harvest the beets, scallions and carrots soon and plant my fall veggies: radishes, more lettuces, spinach, arugula to name a few. You can see on the right side of the picture the few tomatoes that are growing. I savor every one. Top left is a male pumpkin flower. I am hopeful that I get some fruitful pollination with all the male and female flowers the vines are producing. Following down the left side next are some blueberries. Now I love blueberries, and I can say I was finally hoping for some blueberries this year. Here they are and are they sweet. I have 4 more bushes to plant once I weed and amend the area. I am hopeful for an even bigger harvest next year. Maybe a whole quart.
Next are the peppers. I am crazy for green chiles, and my Hatch peppers were just about dead in July. They have sprung back to life after an application of manure tea (thanks Annie Haven for your wonderful Manure Tea) and are flowering. I do hope to get some green chiles to roast. The red pepper is a cayenne. The one plant that has taken off that I grew from seed has about 20 peppers ripening. I can feel the heat in my mouth already, and hope to make some homemade salsa. Better get some cilantro started soon. I can see why people grow plants from seed. There is something so magical to bring a seed to fruit and harvest. I plan to start as many of my own from seeds in my basement next spring. But that is a project for the fall so more on that later.
In the garden, I planted morning glories, vining nasturtiums, sunflowers and cosmos to name a few annuals, but the cold weather so late in May prevented me from getting them in the ground sooner and the dry late spring/early summer has yielded little. A couple of sunflowers are about 3 feet tall, and this morning glory plant is blooming. It is in a container with the cayenne pepper. It is an unusual morning glory from Renee's Garden called, Morning Glory, "Blue Ensign". It is a mounding morning glory with top-setting flowers. I love the bright blue flowers.
This adult robin was enjoying the ripe blue berries on my Viburnum dentatum, Blue Muffin. You can see one lone berry above his head. I rarely see these berries last. The birds go crazy and eat the bush clean. I should grow more of these wonderful natives. Something to consider next year.
The robin was still on the nest, and we were still hopeful for little ones peeping soon…and the beginning of August has brought a miracle. On their third try the robin parents have a small brood of young ones born with a tuft of fine feathers on their heads and bare to the skin like a plucked chicken. I have been watching the parents taking turns bringing food. I can just stand on my tippy toes to see the orange beaks popping up from the nest. To say this hope has brought us great joy is an understatement.
Other bird births in the yard were wonderful, but barely visible in the bird houses with sparrows and swallows this spring. Then there was this male Chipping sparrow who spent a month on top of this bluebird house in June/July. He never wavered in his duty as a father in the hot, dry weather. He stayed on the house morning, noon and night and brought food to momma and babies. He brought me such hope for new birth in our garden. We spied the little ones briefly before they took flight.
Let me introduce you to the newest member of our garden family. This is Georgie. We spotted him a few days ago running around the yard and eating the clover. I actually had walked the whole yard and then spotted him just around the corner from where I was. He seems not too bothered by us, and stays out of our way. He is usually in the yard in the morning. I netted my veg garden because of cuties like Georgie. I cannot keep them out of the yard, but I can deter them. Of course we are only guessing this a Georgie and not a Georgette.
One of my favorite flowers is Lobelia. I have red, purple, blue and this lovely pink variety, 'Monet Moment'. Hummingbirds love them and they are a welcome sight in my late summer garden. Of course, it is not late summer so I was surprised to see them. With the long dry spell we had followed by a cooling into the 80s with rain, I think the garden is thinking it is late summer. I hope to see more flowers pop out now that we had some rain. First I need to deadhead a bit and a then a new flush of flowers will start in many spots.
Speaking of hummingbirds, we have been watching a pair flit around the garden. They are a marvelous sight as they hover in mid-air. Monarchs have also been abundant in the garden. Many times I have spied a pair also flitting around the garden together.
My latest acquisition is my newest hope. This bat house is situated about 17 feet off the ground in a white ash tree just bordering the meadow at the back of the white garden. We are hopeful that a few bats will be drawn to the yard to live and partake of the wonderful mosquitos we are known for. They can each eat thousands of mosquitos a night. I'll take it. And I would love to see more mammals in the yard. Interesting to learn about them and watch them from a far. I'll let you know how it goes.
Bats are symbols for rebirth in many native cultures. How appropriate for my garden and my life as I work toward changing old habits and trying to live more authentically; and as my life unfolds I am learning more about myself each day.
I have such hopes for my garden and know that if things don't turn out I can change conditions and plants to be successful the next time. And after all that is what it is all about. The challenge, the successes and learning from the failures both in the garden and in life. For me it has always been easier in the garden. In life I am a bit of a perfectionist, but aren't we all hardest on ourselves.
My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.

Book Update:
For those that have asked, my 2 poems are being published in the book, The Moment I Knew, August 26th. You can see the announcement in my last blog post. Information about sale of the book is:
- The book will be for sale at www.SugatiPublications.com as well as other online and independent booksellers (e.g. Amazon, Barnes and Noble).
- There will also be a link for book sales on the Reflections from Women website, blog, FB and Twitter pages on or about August 15th. You can access the links for the blog, FB and Twitter from the website.
- We prefer for folks to buy directly from Sugati Publications because the charities selected, who will profit from the sale of the book, will get a greater amount of the profits. If folks buy from other booksellers (e.g., Amazon) then the book seller gets about 40% which significantly cuts into the charities profits as well. However, Sugati does want to support independent book sellers and will be sending marketing info to many of them in the US.
Special Note: This Saturday, August 6th, I will be guest blogging at Beautiful Wildlife Garden. The topic is Rain Gardens. It is a pleasure to be asked, and an honor to have my post published on this incredible blog. I hope you will join me Saturday. Of course I will have a new post coming in a day or so at Walkabout Chronicles as well.

News Release
Charges Not Warranted In Toronto Shooting Death Case
Case Number: 16-TFD-072
Other News Releases Related to Case 16-TFD-072
Witness Assistance
The Director of the Special Investigations Unit, Tony Loparco, has determined there are no reasonable grounds to lay criminal charges against any Toronto Police Service officer in relation to the shooting death of 21-year-old Alexander Wettlaufer in March of 2016.
Seven investigators and two forensic investigators were assigned to this incident.
The SIU interviewed six civilian witnesses, two police employees and 19 witness officers. Three subject officers were designated. None of the subject officers consented to an interview with the SIU or to the release of their duty notes, as is their legal right.
The SIU obtained and reviewed the following evidence:
- A 35 minute recording of a call between Mr. Wettlaufer and a 911 dispatcher. This recording captured Mr. Wettlaufer's interaction with the two initial police officers, inclusive of the police response to Mr. Wettlaufer producing a weapon, and the first portion of the standoff on the footbridge.
- A more than 13 minute audio recording of a portion of the negotiation, up to and including the shooting.
- Forensic analysis of Mr. Wettlaufer's firearm as well as firearm evidence from the three subject officers who fired their weapons.
- Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) surveillance footage from Leslie Station which showed Mr. Wettlaufer near the payphone from where the 911 call was made. Surveillance footage did not capture "the altercation" alleged to have occurred by the caller.
The SIU investigation found the following:
- At 11:05 p.m. on March 13, 2016, a call was made to 911 from a payphone at the TTC station located at Leslie Street and Sheppard Avenue East. The caller indicated that he had observed two males fighting and that one of them was armed with a gun. He provided a description of the man with the gun, said the man's name was 'Alex' and even provided the phone number of the man with the gun. The caller, who would later be identified as Mr. Wettlaufer, hung up the phone soon after.
- After dispatching officers, Emergency Services called the number provided and spoke to 'Alex'. The voice and demeanour of this man was very similar to that of the initial caller. 'Alex' was later confirmed to be Mr. Wettlaufer.
- Meanwhile, two officers arrived in the area and drove around the station attempting to locate any persons of interest. They also entered the station in order to survey the area. After getting back in the cruiser, the officers drove eastbound on Sheppard Avenue East. In the crosswalk west of Leslie Street, the officers spotted Mr. Wettlaufer who was speaking on a cell phone. He matched the description of the man that had been detailed in the radio call. When the officers were approximately 4.5 metres away from Mr. Wettlaufer, the cruiser stopped and the two officers exited the vehicle. Mr. Wettlaufer made eye contact with the two officers, but then suddenly turned around and walked northbound away from them. As he walked away, he kept his hands in his pockets and continually looked back over his shoulders at the officers.
- As the officers followed Mr. Wettlaufer, he was instructed to take his hands out of his pockets. Mr. Wettlaufer replied by swearing, but slowed down, allowing one of the officers to reach out and grab his left hand out of his pocket. It was revealed that Mr. Wettlaufer was grasping his cell phone with his left hand. Mr. Wettlaufer pulled against the officer, and attempted to continue northbound with his right hand in his pocket. A bulge in the right pocket was visible, and based on the information the officers previously received as well as the interaction with Mr. Wettlaufer, it was concluded that he was carrying a firearm.
- When Mr. Wettlaufer and one of the officers were approximately half a metre apart, Mr. Wettlaufer abruptly turned around to face the officer and pointed what appeared to be a black handgun at the officer. The officer shoved Mr. Wettlaufer backwards with his left hand and drew his own firearm with his right hand.
- Mr. Wettlaufer fled from the officers, entering Villaways Park and then running along a footpath. During the chase, Mr. Wettlaufer continually looked back at the two officers. The officers maintained a distance of approximately 6 metres, all the while yelling at Mr. Wettlaufer to "stop" and "drop the gun." During the pursuit, Mr. Wettlaufer side-stepped and pointed his gun at one of the officers. This officer got in position in order to take aim at Mr. Wettlaufer; however, because there were other people in the park he decided that it was not safe to discharge his gun.
- At approximately 11:20 p.m., Mr. Wettlaufer ran to a footbridge that spans the Don River and stopped. The two pursuing officers stopped approximately 15 to 20 metres away and took cover while they waited for members of the Emergency Task Force (ETF) to arrive to provide assistance.
- Upon arrival, the ETF took a position approximately nine to 15 metres from the bridge, from where they could see Mr. Wettlaufer holding what appeared to be a handgun. At this time, he was on the phone with the 911 operator. During the phone call, Mr. Wettlaufer continually reasserted his desire to be killed, conveyed his reluctance to surrender his gun and attempted to verbally bait the police into shooting him. The call came to an end when it was decided that the ETF officers required Mr. Wettlaufer's full attention.
- Moments later, a sibling called Mr. Wettlaufer. To ensure control of the dynamic and stressful situation, ETF members had this call terminated as well.
- During the negotiation, Mr. Wettlaufer was observed by multiple officers to continually alternate between placing his weapon on the guardrail and picking it up. At one point, he walked to the front of the bridge and threw his cell phone at the ETF officers.
- One of the subject officers, tasked with negotiating with Mr. Wettlaufer, continually requested that Mr. Wettlaufer put the gun down, and ordered him not to point it at the officers. The officer repeatedly indicated that they were there to help him, not hurt him. Mr. Wettlaufer made many statements to the officer, including that the officers were going to have to shoot him.
- Mr. Wettlaufer picked up his weapon again and pointed it at the ETF officers, ignoring the negotiating officer who incessantly requested that Mr. Wettlaufer put the gun down, and pleaded with him to let the officers help. This was of no avail.
- Three officers fired a total of four shots, with three bullets striking Mr. Wettlaufer. He was pronounced dead on March 14, 2016.
The post-mortem report found the cause of death to be gunshot wounds to the chest.
Director Loparco said, "There is no question that the three subject officers were acting in the course of their duty when they attended the scene in response to a firearm call. The only issue that I need to consider is whether the shooting was justified. There is no doubt in my mind that it was. The applicable provision of the Criminal Code is section 34(1) which provides the legal justification for the use of force in defence of self and defence of others.
"Mr. Wettlaufer presented a very real danger to the members of the ETF and the other officers on scene. He had already pulled what appeared to be a real firearm on two officers earlier that evening. He had ready access to the weapon while on the footbridge, and over the course of a lengthy standoff, he ignored multiple opportunities to peacefully surrender himself into custody. Despite the urging of the 911 operator – who seemingly managed to develop a rapport with him – Mr. Wettlaufer showed no indication that he would surrender himself. Regardless of whatever his thought process was at the time, there is no question that he presented a real threat to the safety of the officers present. It is not relevant that the weapon in his possession turned out to be a BB gun. It was a more than convincing imitation firearm, and officers in such a situation do not have the luxury of waiting to be fired on to confirm a weapon's functionality."
Director Loparco continued, "Immediately before the three subject officers fired on Mr. Wettlaufer, he picked up his imitation firearm and aimed it at the ETF officers. He disregarded repeated demands to drop his weapon. The three officers responded with deadly force when faced with the prospect of imminent death or bodily harm. Both their inferred assessment of imminent harm and their collective response were reasonable in the circumstances.
"In that first 911 call, Mr. Wettlaufer clearly provided information to ensure that he himself would be identified as the suspect. He matched the suspect description that he provided, namely a male in his early 20's, wearing a blue sweater and a grey baseball hat. He also indicated that the individual with the gun was named Alex. Lastly, he conveyed the suspect's phone number, which was in fact his own number. The irrefutable conclusion is that the 911 call received by emergency services was a ruse orchestrated by Mr. Wettlaufer aimed at implicating himself.
"Given that Mr. Wettlaufer was no doubt aware that he had a mere BB gun in hand, his actions lead me to the conclusion that he was attempting to bait the police into fatally shooting him by creating a perilous situation. My conclusion is further informed by the various comments that Mr. Wettlaufer made to the 911 operator, including his desire to be killed. His intentions, while tragic, were also clear."
Director Loparco concluded, "The full body of evidence satisfies all three requirements of section 34 of the Criminal Code. There are thus no reasonable grounds to believe that any of the subject officers exceeded the ambit of justifiable force in the circumstances. No charges will issue."
The SIU is an arm's length agency that investigates reports involving police where there has been death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault. Under the Police Services Act, the Director of the SIU must
- consider whether an officer has committed a criminal offence in connection with the incident under investigation
- depending on the evidence, lay a criminal charge against the officer if appropriate or close the file without any charges being laid
- report the results of any investigations to the Attorney General.

Dali After Dark | Dali Land | til 17th Feb | ★ ★ ★ ★
If you've ever wondered what it might be like to take a trip with Alice down the rabbit hole, this Fringe World experience may just be your Wonderland.
Dali Land was unveiled at the beginning of this year's Fringe World as a tribute to the work of Surrealist master Salvador Dali, showing off a transformed Metro City fittingly decorated with trinkets both bizarre and wonderful. The venue plays host to the fabulously talented team at Club Briefs – and now you can become part of the art in this immersive Dali After Dark tour.
Attendees are split into smaller groups, taking turns at 15-minute intervals to enter the Dali Land from a secret entrance. Bewildered tour-goers are led to a side door, where we are met by Gala Dali, Salvador's wife who delivers the rules of the evening and leads us into the unknown.
Without spoiling any of the fun, Gala leads the group through a serpentine hallway to a secluded space, decorated with a large curtain covered in motifs that can be found throughout Dali's work. The group is greeted by Salvador himself and where he waxes lyrical about his work and life. Muffled music can be heard from outside of the sheet-walls, which made Salvador a little hard to hear – but who knows what's supposed to be happening in a temple to the bizarre? Perhaps his message was supposed to be unclear.
The tour continues, led by Carrollesque rabbits who eventually reveal the venue at large where the audience is free to explore the vast space. Metro City's many staircases and balconies almost seem like a nod to the work of Escher, as we are invited to step into the club's many rooms where strange surprises await.
Performers from Club Briefs and Hot Brown Honey roam the halls, filling the space with happenings that had tour-goers following closely to see what might happen next. Many of the walls are embellished with works by Dali and other Surrealists such as Man Ray, Jean Cocteau and Max Ernst – and a screening of the eyeball slicing Un Chein Andalou can be taken in on the balcony.
At a certain time (you'll know when!) the audience is rushed up to the balconies, where the free-roaming evening culminates in a spectacular performance by the artists. Beat-boxing, aerial acrobatics, trampoline antics and general madness takes over the stage bringing the two-hour experience to a fitting – and abrupt – end. The audience is invited to stay at the Surrealist Salon, Dali Land's rooftop bar with a view and look back on their time in Wonderland.
I had expected the tour portion of the evening would take longer, but being able to explore the space at your own whim just makes the journey down the rabbit hole feel that much 'curiouser and curiouser'.
The concept behind Dali After Dark is incredible, and paired with both this space and the exceptional talent of the Briefs and Hot Brown Honey family makes for a thrilling immersive experience for art aficionados and Fringe fanatics alike.
Dali After Dark will continue at Dali Land until Sunday 17th February. Tickets and more information available from dali-land.com
