An existential take on the view of women as children – A Voice for Men
mraab June 26, 2021 0 Comments
Author: Andrew Exeter
One of the most commonly made arguments in the manosphere concerning female socialisation in the West is that women are most often raised to behave like children and remain in an eternal state of emotional and psychological childhood throughout their lives. The blue pill world facilitates this process by treating women like delicate princesses when they are young, encouraging them to use makeup and cosmetics to maintain their neotenous appearances, blaming either 'the system' or a conveniently located man for their heinous criminal activity, ensuring their safety through male adherence to the dictates of chivalry, pumping feminist dogma into their young minds about their permanent victimhood at the hands of evil men (which ironically leads their subjective wellbeing to be less than that of such men) and so on.
In this essay, I would like to articulate an existentialist interpretation of the motivation that seems to lead women to gleefully both accept and become complicit in this process of socialisation, focusing particularly on the concept of death anxiety. I would also like to point out that the content of this essay is going to be highly speculative, especially where I discuss the unconscious mind.
Death anxiety and how we tend to cope with it
In 1980, American psychiatrist Irvin D. Yalom published a text titled Existential Psychotherapy, one intended to provide instructions for how mental health professionals can practice this eponymous brand of psychotherapy, a brand concerned with concepts such as free will, responsibility, meaning, and others and how they relate to the development of psychopathology. In this text, Yalom focuses on what he contends are the four, "ultimate concerns," (page 8) of existence (and thus the four main areas of concern for existentially inclined therapists) – death, freedom, isolation, and meaninglessness. Yalom's discussion of the first of these four concerns centres heavily around death anxiety, which can be defined as the fear of death, and thus of anything that one perceives as posing a threat to one's existence.
Yalom argues that death anxiety is a key cause of psychopathology and is thus a kind of anxiety that an existentially inclined therapist must be trained to address to ensure that his or her patients have any chance of overcoming the illnesses that plague them. He additionally notes that even though, "all human beings," must contend with death anxiety at some point during their lives – because, ultimately, we will all die – "some are unable to cope with it," (page 13) because they either neglected or were unable to develop solid defence mechanisms during their younger years; it is the latter group of people who go on to develop mental illnesses in their adult lives that are rooted in death anxiety.
In Chapter 4 of this text, Yalom discusses the two defence mechanisms that are most often used to tackle death anxiety – one's belief in one's specialness, and one's belief in an ultimate rescuer. It is the latter of these mechanisms that is most relevant to the argument that modern female behaviour resembles that of children.
Someone who uses the latter of these two mechanisms believes that there is a, "personal omnipotent intercessor," controlling the world or universe who, "eternally observes, loves, and protects," (page 129) one from the prospect of death (put simply, this being can be relied upon to rescue one from death). This being need not be a supernatural one; he or she may also be, "a leader," or, "some higher cause," (page 129) to which one devotes oneself zealously. Believing in the existence of this ultimate rescuer leads one to fail to adopt full responsibility for one's destiny; after all, one will not do this if one believes that one's life is being controlled or influenced by an external force who can be relied upon as a provider of safety.
It is also worth mentioning that a concrete action that one can undertake to assuage one's death anxiety is that of reproduction; doing so comforts one with the belief that even after death, one will continue to exist in both the memories and the genetic code of one's children. You could even argue that death anxiety underscores much of the angst that single women begin to experience once they hit their thirties and realise that they have no men in their lives with whom they can reproduce.
The all-powerful 'daddy'
Women generally seek to reproduce with men whom they perceive as having the capacity for dominance and aggression, but who can also protect them and provide for them; women's instincts lead them to seek out men whom they can depend on to provide them with a degree of security in their lives. In essence, women seek out men who can play a role for them that resembles that of the ultimate rescuer – the being who stands between them and the threat of death or anything that resembles it – and evidence in the form of men laying down their lives to protect women from the prospect of harm seems to suggest that men largely seem to believe that doing so is an obligation of theirs.
We can even link this idea of man as woman's ultimate rescuer to the phenomenon of women using the term 'daddy' as a sexual compliment for their boyfriends/husbands. Even though this term is normally used in the innocent context of young children addressing their fathers, women's use of it in reference to their boyfriends/husbands arguably suggests an unconscious association between the roles that these two men play during pivotal periods of their lives.
By using this term in a sexual context, women are associating the dominance and control exhibited by the men whom they call 'daddy' with the dominance and control that fathers typically exhibit when treating their daughters like princesses. Just as their fathers shielded them from harm when they were both legally and physically childlike, their boyfriends/husbands will do the same for them even when they are only capable of pretending to be physically childlike.
Man, the devoted protector of woman
By unconsciously arguing to themselves that they still have a 'daddy' who will watch over and protect them – even during adulthood – women can maintain the illusion that they have an ultimate rescuer in their lives who will protect them from both death and anything that threatens them (such as, in the case of the modern woman, responsibility). Due to men's willingness to play this role in women's lives, woman is consequently permitted to be – to quote Esther Vilar in The Manipulated Man – "a human being who does not work" (page 10); in this context, she does not need to work to embrace and thus transcend her death anxiety. Why prepare yourself to confront an enemy that you almost never need to face?
One of the patients discussed by Yalom in his text, a 40-year-old woman named Karen, acts as a prime (albeit extreme) example of this kind of female mindset. He reports that she entered therapy for several reasons – most notably her, "masochistic sexual propensities" – and that she quickly, "devoted herself to the project of eliciting care and concern," from Yalom, eager to paint him as her larger-than-life ultimate rescuer (page 135). He also writes that her, "masturbatory fantasies," consisted of her being afflicted with some kind of illness and him, "feeding and cradling her," (page 135) as if she was a baby. Whenever Yalom was, "stern," with her or, "expressed any irritation," towards her, she experienced, "sexual excitation," (page 135) as a result, evidently taking pleasure in Yalom's attempts to act authoritatively towards a disobedient patient.
Yalom summarises the essence of Karen's belief in him as her ultimate rescuer by describing how her, "sexuality joined in the pursuit for safety and deliverance," and that to be, "punished was to be protected," because punishment was a sign that, "limits were being set," by her ultimate rescuer (page 135). It is worth noting that Karen only began to, "work truly effectively in therapy," (page 137) once Yalom refused to continue to treat her, and thus forced her to become independent in a manner to which she was not accustomed.
As women grow into adulthood, they begin to experience a form of death anxiety that is associated with their awareness of both their desire to reproduce and their aging. By continuing to act in a childlike manner with the use of neoteny, the avoidance of responsibility, appeals to men's undying desire to be sexually validated by women, and more, women are thus able to reinforce their own belief in the presence of an ultimate rescuer in their lives – a man who will both provide them with an easier life and protect them from harm, even at the cost of his own life, just as their fathers would have happily done. To conclude with yet another passage from The Manipulated Man (page 18):
Woman's greatest ideal is a life without work or responsibility – yet who needs such a life but a child? A child with appealing eyes, a funny little body with dimples and sweet layers of baby fat and clear, taut skin – that darling miniature of an adult. It is a child that woman imitates – its easy laugh, its helplessness, its need for protection. A child must be cared for; it cannot look after itself. And what species does not, by natural instinct, look after its offspring? It must – or the species will die out.

It is hoped we quickly recognise the scams that target us regularly by phone, email or social media. Sadly, thousands of people are being caught by such scams.
Scammers are particularly active in the lead up to Christmas, when people are looking for gifts and investments for the year ahead. But sadly, it's also a time when many of us, particularly the over 55s, can be vulnerable, lonely and susceptible to smooth-talking shonks.
In 2016 the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission received more than 200,000 reports of scams, up 47 per cent on 2015, and losses totalled nearly $300 million. Shonky investment scams robbed the most, targeting people over the age of fifty-five.
Romance scams robbed $25.5 million from 4,100 people in 2016. Men and women were equally victims, with most aged between 45 and fifty-four.
Dating and romance scams are particularly cruel and are the fastest growing scams. For many people, the blow is not just the loss of money to fake romancers, but also the feeling of humiliation and fear of forming new relationships after being so abused.
Last year nearly 6,000 businesses reported to the ACCC that they had been scammed, with losses totalling $3.8 million. The highest losses were to computer hacking, fake investment schemes, invoice scams and fake online traders.
Even though there have been some arrests of Australian-based scammers, the best way to defeat them is to be aware and not fall for their unscrupulous tactics.
The ACCC's Scamwatch website publishes regular updates about current scams and provides a free email alert service which enables any member of the public to sign up to receive notifications about the latest scams. You can also easily report a scam on the website.
The ACCC's Little Black Book of Scams warns consumers about the different ways scammers try to trick their victims and what you can do to protect yourself. The book can be ordered free of charge for delivery in hard copy to addresses within Australia. You can also download the book as a Word document or pdf or listen to audio of the text on the same web page.

Let's put my own biases on the table. I was spanked growing up, and yes, I think I turned out fine. Not only was I spanked, everybody around me was, too: my siblings, my cousins, the neighbors. All of us kids came to know and fear the menacing look on our parents' faces that meant we would spanked when we got home. It was part of our lives as kids.
Then I read the data and learned a thing or two about the functioning of a child's brain when it comes to punishment.
To be clear, they didn't see it as a gamble. Raising a strong-willed child in Latin America in the 1980s and early '90s, my parents did not have the wisdom of the past 20 years of medical research.
This research has linked corporal punishment — including spanking — to higher risks of depression, aggressive behavior, cognitive problems and risk-taking behavior in teens, as well as a negative relationship between parents and their kids.
Critics of the data say the studies cannot possibly establish spanking as the cause of these, but association is as good as we are ever going to get. No institution will ever approve a study in which half of the children get spanked and half don't, just to record the behavior differences.
Luckily for me, spanking wasn't the only thing my parents did in their efforts to turn me into the woman I am today. They have been an unconditional and constant source of love and support, teaching me kindness, respect and hard work by modeling these values themselves.
Sure, they got my attention, and I stopped misbehaving in the few minutes that followed a spanking. In speaking to my parents about it now, they say spanking was some sort of resolution, a tangible consequence to our misbehavior. My dad said he hated having to punish us, he felt guilty about it, and he always knew we'd do it was again.
My sister was even smarter. When she knew that a spanking was coming, she'd run and put on the thickest jeans she owned. Then she kept on misbehaving.
Not only is there data saying that spanking does not work, there's even more for methods that do work, based on the understanding of children's brains and development offered to us by modern science.
These methods include ignoring behaviors that aren't dangerous (after all, kids like attention), whether it's positive or negative. Another favorite is time-outs. I ask families to practice them ahead of time by rehearsing a tantrum and the tools to calm down.
I believe that my parents, like the many parents who I've counseled on discipline as a pediatrician, wanted to teach me right from wrong when they spanked me.
But in the heat of the moment, it is easy to lose sight of the goal and focus on punishment instead. And that's the thing about punishment: It is never planned out and thought through ahead of time.
As a devout Catholic myself, I also know that the word discipline comes from the Latin word "disciplinare," which means to teach or to train, much like a disciple follows a teacher.

Gucci is one of the fastest-growing fashion brands in 2017 after a flamboyant design makeover under creative director Alessandro Michele, and it's making some bold moves as it plots a course to topple the current #1 and take the luxury sector's crown.
Earlier this year, Gucci began working out of a creative hub located near the historical headquarters of the Italian fashion house in Casellina, just outside of Florence. In late April Gucci officially unveiled what it's calling ArtLab, its stunning new center of craftsmanship and sustainable innovation.
With a workforce of 800 people, the ArtLab is the brand's new home for product development and lab testing, with in-house prototyping and sampling activity for leather goods, handbags and shoes, along with new materials (potentially "growing" its own leather), metal hardware and packaging.
The futuristic center of industrial craftsmanship and experimental laboratory in Florence features artisans in lab coats imprinted with the words 'Maison de l'Amour' as they craft products using both innovative and decades-old techniques.
It brings to life the bold vision of Michele by developing new products to help meet customer demand for all things Gucci, a demand that has nearly doubled in the last three years since Michele's appointment. Last year alone, Gucci's leather goods and shoes accounted for more than 70% of the brand's annual revenue.
There are cost benefits to ArtLab, too. By bringing more production in-house (it has bought out 10 suppliers to date), Gucci plans to cut its use of external suppliers to 40% of leather goods production, from 75% currently.
Presenting #GucciEquilibrium, a destination designed to connect people, planet and purpose. Launching today, on #WorldEnvironmentDay, Gucci Equilibrium is part of a 10-year plan to embed a comprehensive sustainability strategy into and around the brand, governed by a Culture of Purpose anchored by three pillars including 'New Models'—the development of new solutions by applying technical innovation to improve efficiency in its production and logistics. Unveiled in April, the #GucciArtLab, a futuristic center of industrial craftsmanship and experimental laboratory in Florence where artisans in lab coats printed on the back with the words 'Maison de l'Amour' craft products using both innovative and decades-old techniques. Discover more through link in bio.
The ArtLab's efficient sustainable construction and ethos also underlines Gucci's commitment to sustainability after announcing it was going fur-free last October. Calling the movement #GucciEquilibrium, it aims to be a destination designed to connect people, planet and purpose.
Signaling that this is no hushed home for ancient artisanal activity, the buildings' exteriors would be right at home in Bushwick, Brooklyn—or any other street art hub worldwide. The walls have been painted by young creators who have collaborated with the brand, including Unskilled Worker, Ignasi Monreal, Angelica Hicks and Coco Capitan.
"The unveiling of Gucci ArtLab definitely represents one of the most remarkable achievements of Gucci's unprecedented journey of the last three years, and one of the most significant industrial investments today in our country," Marco Bizzarri, President and CEO of Gucci, stated.

Parent company Kering, which also owns other labels including Saint Laurent, expects Gucci to overtake its peers including Louis Vuitton, which is owned by its French rival LVMH. Last year Gucci, with 6.2 billion euros in sales, came in second to Vuitton, estimated by analysts to bring in over 8 billion euros, making it the luxury sector's number two brand and a peer to brands such as Hermès.
"We're in the same league … The question is not if, but when," Bizzarri told journalists at a strategy update and tour of ArtLab this week, according to Reuters.
He did not project when Gucci might pass 10 billion euros in revenue, but did say its sales are expected to grow at twice the market rate in the coming years as it enjoys a renaissance.
He also said Gucci aims to halve the time between a product's conception and its delivery to stores through better controlling its supply chain and production capacity.
Gucci isn't the only luxury brand with a focus on leather that's looking to take more production in-house and nurture a new generation of skilled workers. Milan-based Prada just opened a new industrial site in Valvigna, in eastern Tuscany, as its global industrial and R&D center.

Many of our patients come to see the providers at Mid-Atlantic Spinal Rehab to address a specific pain symptom such as back pain, neck pain or headaches. While we will address each patient's specific condition with chiropractic care, we often find it helpful to "coach" our patients towards achieving a healthier lifestyle. For example, there may be certain activities that you should avoid or do differently to prevent yourself from unintentionally aggravating your particular health challenges. The goal of including lifestyle advice with a chiropractic care plan is to help each and every patient achieve the fulfilling and happy lifestyle they deserve, one that is full of the activities that are enjoyed most. We recognize that every single one of our patients is a whole person, and we use our expertise to help them reach total health and wellness.


THE Asia-Pacific region is gearing up for a global gravity shift to win the largest share of the global pharmaceutical industry. This is apparent with the influx of international pharmaceutical companies establishing major manufacturing operations in the region in recent years.
As Asian governments continue to offer grants, incentives and infrastructure support, the pharmaceutical industry is expected to further expand in the region.
Singapore's pharmaceutical industry has been one of the fastest growing industries for the past five years, and is also the main driving force for the growth of the country's biomedical science sector.
In 2006, the pharmaceutical industry here achieved a 34.5 per cent growth in manufacturing output, which amounted to $20 billion and the creation of more than 4,000 jobs, according to the National University of Singapore's Department of Pharmacy (www.pharmacy.nus.edu.sg/students/prog_gadmcintro.htm).
Emerging pharmaceutical markets in the Asia-Pacific are attracting multinational companies that seek talent for their local operations.
However, many multinational companies and local players are vying for the same limited talent pool. Therefore, pharmaceutical companies need to look across the Asia-Pacific region to ensure the recruitment of sufficient talent to meet the growth needs of the industry.
The current challenge faced by many pharmaceutical companies is to strike a balance between filling key positions with the most competent and qualified candidates and promoting or placing existing staff in positions in which they do not yet have experience.
Tackling this challenge, pharmaceutical companies such as Bayer Schering Pharma Asia Pacific are steering away from human resources as an exclusively operational function.
Instead, a proactive approach is being taken to invest in a harmonised career development framework to bring out the best in talents for great business performance.
In recent years, the company has introduced a systematic talent management programme called Significant Progress in Early Executive Development (Speed). With this system, a number of short- and long-term projects were created for young talent from around the Asia- Pacific region to get exposure by working in the company's regional offices.
This gives them valuable career experience and enables them to build crucial regional networks. This effort is further supported by local and regional talent conferences, which aim to identify talent and actively seek opportunities, such as regional job rotation, for their development.
In addition, innovative human resources tools such as management trainee programmes, individual career development plans and leadership development programmes are also employed by pharmaceutical companies in the regional battle for talent.
With China expected to become one of the top five health-care markets globally by 2010 and India racing to be the new pharmaceutical research and development hub, many see these two countries as up-and-coming hotspots for the industry.
The total sales of pharmaceuticals in China reached an estimated US$19.2 billion ($26.1 billion) in 2005 and in India, the industry is gaining a reputation in the complex field of drug manufacture and technology.
Moving forward, it is apparent that the pharmaceutical industry will face a new set of challenges and opportunities in this increasingly dynamic environment.
The demand for talent will continue to grow. In the search for quality talent, many pharmaceutical companies recognise Singapore as a talent hub that offers a pool of highly skilled, multilingual, capable and mobile talent who can contribute to the growing regional industry.
As the industry grows, more opportunities are opening up for employees to obtain regional and overseas exposure. Complementing this trend, Bayer Schering Pharma has established Learning Centers of Excellence in Australia, China and Singapore to expose staff to the unique features and conditions of each of these regional markets.
In Singapore, regional staff gain exposure to conducting business in a multi-cultural, English-speaking environment in Asia. Australia offers these employees the opportunity to work in a mature pharmaceutical market, where business is conducted in English.
In China, regional talents are exposed to sales skills and the unique market conditions of a vast emerging market.
Many pharmaceutical companies acknowledge that beyond technology, skilled employees who drive business performance are the lifeblood of the company.
In the face of rising competition in the talent market, it has become imperative for companies to go beyond just raising salaries to retain talent. New creative ways must be employed to help talents enjoy work and see a growth path in their career development.
Pharmaceutical companies aim to achieve long-term talent development by putting in place talent management and career development programmes that build capacity, knowledge and networks to enable competent staff members to take up broader and more senior roles in this growing industry.

Crawl (2019)
Cast: Kaya Scodelario, Barry Pepper, Morfydd Clark
Screenplay: Michael Rasmussen, Shawn Rasmussen
87 mins. Rated R for bloody creature violence, and brief language.
I was a big fan of director Alexandre Aja (High Tension, The 9th Life of Louis Drax) when he burst onto the filmmaking scene, even if I didn't love his remake of The Hills Have Eyes (though it is a superior film to the original). I respected his eye for horror, and I think his Piranha is one of the best horror films ever made. He disappeared for a few years, but now he's resurfaced with another creature-feature, this one inspired by actual events that took place during Hurricane Florence.
Crawl is the story of Haley (Kaya Scodelario, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales), a competitive swimmer, searching for her father Dave (Barry Pepper, Saving Private Ryan, Maze Runner: The Death Cure) as a Category 5 hurricane sets in. Haley finds herself trapped in the crawl space beneath the main floor as it quickly floods and having to protect herself from deadly alligators.
Crawl had a great trailer, but one wonders with a film largely set in one location whether the trailer is really showing everything, and I will say this: if you are interested at all in this film, don't watch the trailer as it does give away some third-act plot points. Overall, though, Crawl is an excellent single-location thriller with two standout performances and a whole lot of shocks and intensity.
The screenplay, from Michael and Shawn Rasmussen (The Ward, The Inhabitants), bolsters a strong storytelling speed that keeps the momentum up for most of the film, save for a good fifteen minutes at the start as the pieces are put in place. It's an important fifteen minutes but it is a slow start.
Director Aja is known for pulling as much tension and horror from a premise as possible, and he's knocking it out of the park here, but he is able to pull some emotion from this struggling father-daughter relationship as well, something I've not seen him as successful with in the past.
Our two leads in Scodelario and Pepper work very well together. You can feel their strained relationship as they work together to escape this potentially impossible situation. It's a frustrating movie but only because it always feels unwinnable, and none of their attempts go without risk or pain. There's a lesson I once learned about creating great characters, and it is that you cannot let your characters win without suffering. These two suffer a lot in this film, and I'll leave it open-ended whether or not they "win" after all that suffering.
Crawl is an excellent thriller that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats. The film races along, creating obstacles one after the other. This is a pull-out-your-hair movie at its finest, and a terrific theatrical experience.

[#2018oscardeathrace] The Post (2017)
Director: Steven Spielberg
Cast: Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Sarah Paulson, Bob Odenkirk, Tracy Letts, Bradley Whitford, Bruce Greenwood, Matthew Rhys
Screenplay: Liz Hannah, Josh Singer
116 mins. Rated PG-13 for language and brief war violence.
Academy Award Nominee: Best Motion Picture of the Year [Pending]
Academy Award Nominee: Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role [Meryl Streep] [Pending]
Only Steven Spielberg (Saving Private Ryan, The BFG) could accomplish The Post in the time that he did. The film went through Production, Post-Production, and Release just in the Post-Production of his Ready Player One, the other film he was working on. Not only that, but to have that film go on to be nominated for Best Picture is exemplary.
The Post is the story of Kay Graham (Meryl Streep, The Iron Lady, Florence Foster Jenkins), the owner and publisher of The Washington Post, and Ben Bradlee (Tom Hanks, Forrest Gump, Toy Story 3), the editor-in-chief as they come to a decision on how to proceed with the publishing of sensitive materials pertaining to a cover-up spanning four U.S. Presidents. As the weight of the decision falls on Kay, she is met with arguments on both sides and mounting tensions that could send multiple colleagues to prison for treason or ruin The Post's reputation permanently.
For the most part, The Post is exactly what it needs to be, and it works very well. I really like the usage of Nixon's actual audio in his portrayal. I loved how it leads right up to the opening of All the President's Men, which almost makes The Post an unofficial prequel.
But the best part of The Post is its performances. Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks are amazing, but its supporting players are equally strong. I would have loved to see Bob Odenkirk (Girlfriend's Day, TV's Better Call Saul) nab an Oscar nomination for his work as Ben Bagdikian. The same should be said of Bruce Greenwood (Star Trek, Batman: Gotham by Gaslight) as Robert McNamara.
The script is mostly strong and Spielberg has restrained and calm direction to give the floor to his performers which works. One sequence that doesn't work is the opening. The film begins in Vietnam with an action sequence that feels very out of place. Perhaps it would work better somewhere else in the film as a flashback because it feels unneeded and very disconnected from the rest of the film.
Overall, The Post is a fine film and very important to the political landscape we are currently in. Is it a Best Picture? I'm not so sure. That being said, Spielberg's film is very worthy of a lot of its credit. This is a need-to-see film.

Screenplay: Steven Spielberg

With today being Extraterrestrial Abductions Day, I wanted to look back at a Steven Spielberg (Saving Private Ryan, The BFG) film that I didn't have much exposure to: Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I didn't see the film until after college, and I didn't recall liking it very much. So, today, I thought, let's give it another try.
Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss, Jaws, Madoff), an electrical lineman in Indiana, is forever changed after he experiences a close encounter with an unidentified flying object while investigating an outage. He develops a thirst to discover exactly what he witnessed that consumes him entirely, causing rifts in his marriage to wife Ronnie (Teri Garr, Tootsie, Aloha, Scooby Doo!) and his children. Roy's search for answers takes him across the country where he meets Lacombe (Francois Truffaut, The 400 Blows, The Green Room), a French scientist also enamored with the possible discovery of alien life.
My frustrations with Close Encounters of the Third Kind do not lie on the technical side of things. I happen to find the visuals and sound design to be superb, some of the best put to film (coincidentally, the film was released the same as the original Star Wars, which nabbed a number of technical awards at the Oscars). I enjoyed the performances from Dreyfuss and Melinda Dillon (A Christmas Story, Reign Over Me) as Jillian, a single mother who shares in Roy's journey for answers.
My issues, though, come from Spielberg's screenplay and how he chose to direct it. Roy does some pretty shitty things in the film, he isn't a character I like or feel for, and yet Spielberg chooses to give the film such a light-hearted tone. It's as if to say to his audience, "Look at this funny guy pushing his family away! My, isn't he strange?" It just didn't work for me. I want to feel for him and what this journey is doing to him, but I don't.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind is a beautiful film, one that furthers the abilities of the artist with its progressive sound design and visual effects, but I just didn't like the emotional arcs of the characters. An impressive technical marvel to this writer, but one without true substance.
[Happy 10th Birthday!] War of the Worlds (2005)
Cast: Tom Cruise, Dakota Fanning, Justin Chatwin, Miranda Otto, Tim Robbins
Screenplay: Josh Friedman, David Koepp
116 mins. Rated PG-13 for frightening sequences of sci-fi violence and disturbing images.
Academy Award Nominee: Best Achievement in Sound Mixing
Academy Award Nominee: Best Achievement in Sound Editing
Steven Spielberg (Saving Private Ryan, Lincoln) has always been an alien fanboy at heart. Periodically throughout his career, he continues to return to the genre of the extraterrestrial. He even owned a copy of Orson Welles' original radio play for War of the Worlds. After many attempts to get a story off the ground, Spielberg was eventually able to do so in 2005.
Ray Ferrier (Tom Cruise, Top Gun, Edge of Tomorrow) isn't all that great of a father. He loves his kids, but he just doesn't really know them. His daughter Rachel (Dakota Fanning, Coraline, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2) and son Robbie (Justin Chatwin, TV's Shameless, The Invisible) don't enjoy staying with him. But when the Earth is attacked by forces from beneath and beyond the planet's surface, Ray is forced to grow up and become the father he is supposed to be as the family evades invading extraterrestrials who want the world for themselves.
This is a very different film for Steven Spielberg. For starters, the plot runs in a very different way. Rather than unfolding as the film progresses and evolving based on the character choices, War of the Worlds is much more of an action onslaught like previous fare Mad Max: Fury Road. The plot is revealed rather quickly and then takes a step back to the high action spectacle that unfolds for our hero. It was new terrain for the filmmaker.
Tom Cruise does his best to play to his character's weaknesses here. He isn't entirely a likable guy but when greatness is thrust upon him, Ray needs to step up and protect those around him from harm. Dakota Fanning plays Rachel to the truest understanding that a nervous child would have during these events. Unfortunately, she is rather annoying in this film. I get that you're scared, but she is always screaming! Then there's Justin Chatwin, who has more of his father in him than he realizes as he is conflicted in what he thinks makes a man. Miranda Otto (The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, I, Frankenstein) gives serviceable work as the ex-Mrs. Ferrier and Tim Robbins (The Shawshank Redemption, Welcome to Me) gives one of the best albeit small performances I've seen from the actor.
War of the Worlds benefits from having Spielberg's terrific flair for capturing events on film. The sequences are well put together, so much so that you miss some of the inconsistencies in the flow of the film. The sound mixing and editing, for which the film was nominated for an Oscar, are also booming. The invader ships, or Tripods as they are referred, make this unsettling sound as they destroy humanity. That, mixed with the top notch visual effects, give this film a unique flavor and an intensity that continue throughout its runtime.
I wasn't all that impressed with John William's score here as it comes off as more sounds mixed into the film than a bona fide music track.
I can completely get why some didn't enjoy War of the Worlds. Many called out the underwhelming ending, which is actually taken from the source material and considered one of the best endings ever. I enjoyed, but perhaps the reason is that I knew this was the ending going in. I think without the great irony of the film is that by knowing the ending, it makes it better but not necessarily as thrilling, but by not knowing the ending, it feels like a cop out but is entertaining throughout. My suggestion to best enjoy the film is to read the book first (seriously, this is me suggesting that you read, and that will anger some of you). The film doesn't necessarily follow the novel's story at all, but it retains the key themes that should enrich your viewing experience.
Furious 7 (2015)
Director: James Wan
Cast: Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris Bridges, Jordana Brewster, Djimon Hounsou, Kurt Russell, Jason Statham
Screenplay: Chris Morgan
137 mins. Rated PG-13 for prolonged frenetic sequences of violence, action and mayhem, suggestive content and brief strong language.
And here we are, after six films, we arrive here at Furious 7, the latest installment in the high-octane series of car action films started with The Fast and the Furious some many years back.
In the newest adventure, Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel, Saving Private Ryan, Guardians of the Galaxy) and his family have returned to the United States after gaining amnesty for their previous offences. As new parent Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker, Brick Mansions, Hours) adjusts to the simple life with wife Mia (Jordana Brewster, TV's Dallas, Home Sweet Hell), he and Dom discover that Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham, The Transporter, Spy) is seeking vengeance on them for his comatose brother. When Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, WrestleMania) is dispatched, the group realize that they need help. In comes a mysterious government agent (played by Kurt Russell, The Thing, Poseidon) who need them to find a piece of high-tech gadgetry that has been stolen by the villainous Jakande (Djimon Hounsou, Gladiator, Seventh Son). The deal is simple: retrieve the tech in exchange for cart blanche to defeat Shaw.
I really enjoyed Furious 7. Director James Wan (Saw, Insidious: Chapter 2), known for his abilities as a horror director, supplies the film with much-needed cheese with an incredibly exhilarating experience. The returning cast has grown so close that the chemistry here is great. Diesel's journey of reintroduction with Letty (Michelle Rodriguez, Avatar, Machete Kills) is one of the better stories to come out of this series, and it ties into the franchise well. I had a lot of fun watching the banter between Roman (Tyrese Gibson, Transformers, Black Nativity) and Tej (Chris Bridges, New Year's Eve, No Strings Attached). Newcomers Kurt Russell and Jason Statham provide a lot of fun to the equation. Russell's Mr. Nobody is an interesting new character I'm excited to see further fleshed out. Statham's Shaw comes off a bit on the cheesy side, especially with his introduction, but overall it works.
Now onto what most people are interested in hearing about: dealing with the death of Paul Walker. Did it work? Suprisingly well, actually. I expected Walker's role to be relegated to a glorified cameo, but I was wrong. With brothers Cody and Caleb, alongside some terrific digital effects, helped to provide some resolution to Brian's story in an appealing way. The finale of the film definitely pays tribute well with a closing musical number with a montage of Walker's role in the franchise served to button up his story and send him off to the next place without coming off as a wasted opportunity. Wiz Khalifa's "See You Again" works well here, too.
I like that Furious 7 helps tie the franchise back together with references to Toretto's relationship with Letty before her "death" and the rarely-seen Race Wars from the original film. The best thing about this franchise is that the crew learns from previous mistakes to make the best film possible.
Furious 7 isn't the greatest film in the series (that honor lies with Fast Five), but it definitely takes a step in the right direction after a few missteps with Fast & Furious 6. It serves to provide closure to Paul Walker's character and career well without sacrificing plot and sets the series up for further adventures which will continue with the upcoming Furious 8 (yeah, it's happening).

[Oscar Madness] Jurassic Park (1993)
Cast: Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, Ariana Richards, Joseph Mazzello, Bob Peck, Martin Ferrero, Wayne Knight, Samuel L. Jackson
Screenplay: Michael Crichton, David Koepp
127 mins. Rated PG-13 for intense science fiction terror.
Academy Award Winner: Best Sound

Academy Award Winner: Best Effects, Visual Effects
I'm going to tell you a story now. When I was a young child, I was positively blown away by Jurassic Park. I just always wanted to watch it. Unfortunately for me, I was absolutely terrified of the film. I never got past the famous T-Rex sequence without running out of the room as fast as possible. Finally, when my next-door neighbor volunteered to babysit me one night, he made me a promise: We were getting through Jurassic Park tonight. And we did. And it remains one of the most thrilling examples of perfect filmmaking even now, 22 years later.
Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill, TV's Peaky Blinders, The Hunt for Red October) and his colleague Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern, The Fault in Our Stars, Wild) have just been hired by John Hammond (Richard Attenborough, The Great Escape, Elizabeth) to look into his newest project, an amusement park on the island of Isla Nublar. They are joined by Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum, Independence Day, Mortdecai), an observer of the Chaos Theory, as the three discover that Jurassic Park is filled with genetically cloned dinosaurs. When the island's security defenses go down, the dinosaurs are unleashed, and the scientists must find a way off the island before chaos takes them out.
First of all, I want to discuss the screenplay from Michael Crichton and David Koepp. I love the original novel and this adaptation is pretty damn close in the overall scope and the tone conveyed. There are a few changes and a few scenes omitted in the name of time, but the script is pretty great for both an adaptation and a film in general.
The list of performers, Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, and Richard Attenborough are so perfectly cast that it amazes me. Add in veteran character actors Bob Peck (The Black Velvet Gown, Slipstream), Martin Ferrero (Heat, Air Bud 3), and Wayne Knight (TV's The Exes, Space Jam), and you have some genuinely perfectly cast players.
Director Steven Spielberg (Saving Private Ryan, Lincoln) had so much invested in this project, and so much faith in it at the same time. It is refreshing to find a director that cares so much about a project. His care for pushing the visual effects envelope while maintaining his style and flair for the suspense and the fantastic.
The look and sound of the dinosaurs literally created the modern view of dinosaurs in film. The incredible sound work (the noises of the velociraptor hatching were created by cracking an ice cream cone and the squishing of a cantaloupe and pineapple) is what earns this film the realism that Spielberg so desperately wanted.
Lastly, I wanted to discuss the famous scene in which the T-Rex's movement causes a water ripple in a glass. The sound originally came to Steven Spielberg while listening to Earth, Wind & Fire. His production team eventually, after many, many failures, created the effect with a guitar string placed underneath the fake dashboard.
Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park stands as one of the most groundbreaking and equally effective films of its or any generation. The film still looks gorgeous and has stood the test of time. The special effects haven't even aged all that much. My hope is that Jurassic World is even partially as good as this one.

For the specific hockey link, please click here.
And for those of you who asked for it, make sure you hurry up and reserve your favorite seat at AUC by buying tickets from the box office or online. It'd be a shame if procrastination lead to someone else poaching your seat.
Also, with all the buzz about the new logo, http://www.vredshockey.com/ has a neat look at some of the UNB hockey jerseys of the past, so be sure to take a look. This has inspired us to ask "what if"? Through the wonders of Photoshop Paint, we've tried looking at the new logo in the context of a hockey sweater.
Next up would be the away jersey in a distinctive red.
These are NOT sneak peaks of anything official, but let us know what you think? Better yet, some of you guys are far more talented...send us in your jersey ideas and we'll do our best to post them.
Love the black one. Great work!
Told ya Ken, black is the way to go for a third jersey ... especially when one of your two school colours is black!
When are the current jerseys due to be replaced anyways?
In 1999 the year after UNB won the National Championchip, they got new Jerseys, I was not a fan of them the white home jerseys had a mixture of black and red across them, while the black road jerseys had a mixture of white and red, they looked too much like 3 color jerseys instead of one dominant color, I was not a big fan of these.
in 2003 Mid season they replaced them with the Jerseys, white for home with just the words UNB on them with an underscore and red shoulder area. The road jerseys were red with white letters. at some point in the 2006 season they replaced the home jerseys with the current ones now, but not the road jersey.
at the start of the 2007 season they had replaced the road jersey as well to the current ones and also added black to the home jerseys going down the sides of the body, which they did not have when they won the CIS Championchip over Moncton.
My wife and I are season tickets holders of the Tri-City Americans (Procyshen and Aldreds former WHL team) in Kennewick WA.
Taylor was our favourite player and I was hoping to buy my wife a UNB Varsity Reds jersey but I cannot find one on-line or anywhere else for that matter. If you know where I might be able to purchase one I would greatly appreciate you contacting me.
Thank You, and best of luck to Taylor, Alex, and the Varsity Reds.

Having remixed platinum-selling british legends Bullet For My Valentine, crème de la crème Industrial rock pioneers Nine Inch Nails, Billboard top charters Pop Evil, Norwegian black metallers Gorgoroth, Ukranian pop rockers Semargl, Japanese metalcore revelation Crossfaith, award winning producer Celldweller and UK electronic rock pioneers The Qemists, while getting remix treatments from Heavygrinder, Black Sun Empire, Neonlight, State Of Mind, Evol Intent, Counterstrike, The Outside Agency, and producing the debut album Freakshow by New Jersey shock rockers American Grim as well as the comeback album of the legendary New York metallers Eve To Adam, Ágreda represents an undeniable genre-defying force that relentlessly pushes all boundaries and standards of the mainstream and the underground scene, never settling for any rules, and pioneering the sound that is now predicted by the curators as the future of music.
What made you choose the Pro 2?
"I was literally searching for the most powerful monosynth to date. This is no joke. It's exactly what I typed in Google and the Pro 2 came like a relentless punch to my face. I have a lot of respect for Mr. Smith for all his contributions to the Music Industry and we might as well not even be making modern electronic music without him, so it was no surprise to me that one of his synths came up first on the Google results!"
"Pretty much all over my new record Become, coming out on the 28th of September on Entertainment One Music. I was able to get all sorts of sounds from it. Uplifters, downlifters, leads, bass, pads, effects, and crazy noises. Some of these sounds I actually found so useful that as soon as I sampled them they became my go-to for many other productions I did for other clients. It was very easy for me to jump on it and start creating sounds and this is very important for me. I can't justify buying a piece of hardware if all I'm going to do is stare at it while scratching my head in confusion. With the Pro 2 I sat down, got my first patch done, then the second one, and the third one, and so on. The sliders add a lot of live performance possibilities, too."
What's one of your favorite things about it?
"That's a hard one! I don't think I could pick one single thing I like above the rest. But to name a few things, the layout is extremely intuitive and intelligent. Also, having the sliders and the mod wheel next to each other has allowed me to do a lot of interesting performance tricks. I was even able to play it like an electric guitar while doing a solo. All of the tracks on the record have solos and guitar feedback noises, but there are two tracks where this is especially heard: Army Of One and Transhuman, which also features Jorgen Munkeby of SHINING on the sax. Those who know their Metal will find that I took a lot of inspiration from Trey Azagthoth."
What does it give you that other synths might not?
"The Tuned Feedback feature. That was genius. Without that I couldn't do those "guitar" solos I spoke about and I honestly don't think I could pull them off with any other synth. If you pair that with the 4x Delay, 4x LFOs, 5 Envelopes… Jesus, what were you guys thinking? I could easily go insane consumed by such a monster and end up in a mental ward. It's a danger to society. Beware."
Any interesting Pro 2 tricks or techniques you'd like to share?
"I did a patch cheekily named Ode to Yoy. I was trying to reproduce the much overused "yoy" synth you hear all over Dubstep tracks while adding my own twist to it. I used the mod wheel and assigned negative values to one filter and positive values to the other, adjusted resonance to taste, used a mix of saw and square oscillators, added distortion, and set slider values to modify the position of each filter cutoff. Voilá! Instant yoy!"

Did you know that something as simple as chewing gum can be deadly for dogs, or that ibuprofen is toxic to cats? It is highly important to go through your home now, before you bring a new pet home, to search out hazards and get them out of the way or out of the house. This includes cabinets at pet level, counter tops, bottles of chemical on the floor, small toys, electric cords and curtain cords. And it doesn't stop there. You will also need to check your home and yard for toxic plants for dogs or cats, and if you carry a purse or bag, you will need to find and discard any potential dangers – like sugar-free gum, which often contains xylitol.
Not all pet foods are alike. Some are better than others, and some make claims that are not always backed by facts. It would be easy to just grab the pet food bag or can with the nicest design on the cover, but that is not what is going to guarantee our pets' long term health. Choose the best food for your dog or cat and always look for a diet labeled complete and balanced. From the time they are young until the time they are seniors, your pet food choices should be guided by the pet's specific needs, life stage, and lifestyle. You can do some cursory research to get a good idea of why it is important and what to look for, but for the best advice, consult your veterinarian.

Japan, fate unknown
John Elmgreen (from Sydney, Australia) and Terry McGrath (Perth, Western Australia) have been extreme XK enthusiasts since the 1970s if not before. In 1985 they published "The Jaguar XK in Australia". It was described by Alan Clark (Jaguar expert, historian, Minister in the UK Thatcher government) as amongst Jaguar books "my own personal favourite" and by Jaguar automobilia expert Ian Cooling as a superb book standing "supreme in the Jaguar library as a testament to years of diligent research and scholarship". Terry McGrath is also co-author of the monumental "Forerunners of Jaguar in Australasia and SE Asia". The new book "The Jaguar XK120 in the Southern Hemisphere" is to be followed in due course by XK140 and XK150 volumes.

Only 400 VW Clubsport S models were built worldwide and we are delighted to offer for sale car number 232/400. Finished in deep black pearl effect, this Clubsport S has been used sparingly and has covered only 3515 miles from new and retains its air conditioning which was an option to remove at the time of ordering.
First registered in December 2016 our example is presented in excellent, unmarked, condition with tyres and brakes showing virtually no wear at all. The car has had it's first service carried out by Citygate Chalfont VW in February of this year at 1231 miles and has its balance of VW warranty until December 2019.
The Clubsport S is the ultimate incarnation of the Golf GTI. The front-wheel-drive car's turbocharged 2.0L TSI engine produces 306BHP giving a 0-62mph time of under 6 seconds and a top speed of over 160mph. With a weight of just 1285kg it's not a surprise the car was able to set a time of just 7m 49.21s, a record lap time, around the gruelling Nürburgring Nordschleife.
The stunning performance the Clubsport S offers is also thanks to features such as DDC (Dynamic Chassis Control) with "comfort" "normal" and "race" mode, front bucket seats, the removal of the rear seats/parcel shelf, special gearbox differential and 19 inch Pretoria wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres.

Bobby Thompson wins the Jack Sears Trophy
Bobby and the GKR TradePriceCars.com team was able to celebrate a win in the Jack Sears Trophy at the end of a tough weekend of racing as the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship headed for Oulton Park for the third round of the year. The Audi team made the long trip to Cheshire keen to challenge inside the top ten, with Bobby confident about impressing in the Audi S3.
Saturday would prove to be a challenging day with work to do on race day after a difficult qualifying session. Bobby would fail to set a time after a spin at Cascades on his first flying lap left him to starting from 27th and last on the grid.
Race day dawned with rain in the air, and the heavens opened as the cars headed for the grid, with Bobby ultimately swapping to wet tyres before the start of race one - which was delayed after an incident for another driver on the green flag lap.
Once the action finally kicked off in treacherous wet conditions, Bobby's Audi was quickly on the move jumping into the top 20. After a brief caution period, Bobby's charge up the order continued despite a brief scare when the Infiniti of Aiden Moffat suffered a spin in front of him at Old Hall. Into the points by lap eight, Bobby would secure the final point in 15th spot before being promoted to 14th after the exclusion of Josh Cook. Race two would see a demon start for Bobby which saw him rocket up to tenth on the opening lap and from there he would hold his position through to the finish and was rewarded with pole position on the reverse grid for race three.
Bobby took his place on pole for the final race but would struggle for outright speed in the now dry conditions and slipped down the order to eventually cross the line in 18th spot. However, his combined results across the weekend meant he secured the coveted Jack Sears Trophy. Bobby said "I'm over the moon to come away with some points and a trophy given what happened in qualifying. The car was absolutely mega in the wet and we were right on the pace, but clearly we have some work to do in the dry as I was struggling with the brakes in race three and just couldn't do anything.
"I knew in races one and two that we could make up places and pick people off if we were careful and I was hoping it would stay wet for race three but it wasn't to be. It's a shame the rain didn't stay as I think we could have picked up a really good finish, but for the team to win the Jack Sears Trophy for the second weekend in a row is a good result."

Love … has it a capacity?
Now this is a valid question. A question that must run through a lot of parent's heads. We were pretty sure that Eli, being young, would not really have any problem with adapting to a little brother or sister. He always gets on well with other children around him, and we've had no problems with him in that way. But there is always that little question at the back of your head.
Now that Eva is here, we know that there was nothing to worry about. Eli loves her, accepted her into the house when she arrived home, and is interested in her every day. What a blessing!
But there was another part to this question about another child coming into the house. Would my love for Eli diminish because I now have two children? Maybe I'm the only person who has thought like that, but for me it was a bit of a scary thought. We'd had 14 months of the Jenkins family being Paul, Michelle and Eli. All of a sudden we went from 3 to 4, and a bit earlier than we had anticipated by arriving 4 weeks before her due date. Thankfully, my ability to love my children has no limits.
I look in at my son sleeping every night before I go to bed, and my heart melts – I smile from ear to ear, and I feel like I am going to burst, because this wee dude is mine and I love him. When I scoop my wee princess in my arms because she is crying with wind pains, I rock her gently and she relaxes down into my arm, I look at her, and wonder how God could bless me with this gift – I know that He has given me the capacity to love her beyond measure.
The amount of people we can love is not limited by an imaginary love capacity ceiling. Our Daddy God has immeasurable love for each one of us. Every time another baby is born, God loves that precious gift unconditionally. As I walk down this path of life, I am gaining more and more knowledge of God. Believe me, its still only a small grasp of who God is, but I love the way that God teaches us valuable lessons in everyday life.
But God put his love on the line for us by offering his Son in sacrificial death while we were of no use whatever to him.
God's love for us is not a response to something we do for Him, rather, He poured out His love, in the form of His son Jesus on the cross, so that we could know that nothing we could ever do would change the fact that He loves us. The ultimate price has been paid, God's love has already been put on the line for us, we just need to receive it.
Every night before we put to Eli to bed I kiss him, I hug him and I tell him I love him, and ask him one simple question. "Do you love Daddy?" With a simple shake of his head up and down, and a smile through his dummy, I am assured that my son loves me. For me this means the world.
Tell your Daddy God today that you love Him. You'll make His day.
Michelle has been asking once or twice (read going on at me!) if I would get something done with the video footage of Eli that we have taken over this first year. So in the space of about 4 minutes I've put together this wee video clip showing Eli about an hour after he was born, and then a few days ago. It won't win any awards, it could have had a lot more footage in it, but its great to be able to share this.
Its been a hectic first year for our wee warrior – he's come through a lot and yet you wouldn't know it!
Elijah – My God is LORD!
Kathryn on Eva – 4 Months!

Chicago Bulls' all-time starting lineup
In today's piece, we're using some data, records, numbers and reports to form a (hopefully) educated opinion piece on what would be the Chicago Bulls all-time starting lineup if we were able to pull players from their peak and slot them on a roster right now.
Of note, as it is with anything so subjective, please don't hate us for trying.
Point guard: Derrick Rose
The Bulls selected Rose with the first overall pick in the 2008 draft after winning the draft lottery. Derrick was already Chicago's favorite son after having a legendary high school career at Simeon Academy.
Now, Rose was ready to take the NBA world by storm in his hometown and boy did he ever. During his rookie season with the Bulls, Rose averaged 16.8 points and 6.3 assists en route to winning the Rookie of the Year Award and guiding Chicago to the playoffs.
Rose scored 36 points in his playoff debut against the Boston Celtics, tying Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's NBA record for most points scored by a rookie in a postseason debut. Oh, and he also racked up 11 assists in that game.
During his second season in Chicago, Rose put up 20.8 points and 6.0 assists. By making the All-Star team, Rose became the first Bulls player since some guy named Michael Jordan to make an All-Star team.
Rose's third season in the NBA was historic. He averaged 25.0 points, 4.1 rebounds and 7.7 assists that campaign, winning the MVP award. Rose was only 22 and he's still the youngest player in NBA history to win the MVP.
Rose finished his Bulls career with averages of 19.7 points and 6.2 assists. He's top 10 in franchise history in both points and assists.
Derrick would have likely played his entire NBA career with the Bulls had it not been for injuries. He's still the most popular Chicago player in the post-Jordan era.
Shooting guard: Michael Jordan
Where do we even begin with His Airness? Jordan is not only the best Bulls guard ever, but he's also the greatest player of all-time.
Jordan finished his Bulls career with averages of 31.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.4 assists. He won six championships and six Finals MVPs. MJ also won five regular-season MVPs, 10 scoring titles, the 1988 Defensive Player of the Year and the 1985 Rookie of the Year Award.
MJ scored a career-high 69 points against the Cleveland Cavaliers on March 28, 1990. Before that, he torched Larry Bird and the Celtics for 63 points in the 1986 playoffs, a performance that left everyone in Boston in awe of Mike.
Jordan averaged 33.4 points per game in the playoffs for his career, including 43.7 points per contest during the 1986 playoffs. The man was simply a different beast out there on the basketball court.
Small forward: Scottie Pippen
As we saw in episode 2 of the "The Last Dance," Pippen was very underappreciated by Bulls management. Scottie was one of the most versatile players the game has ever seen, and it's a shame Jerry Krause and Chicago management didn't pay him what he deserved.
Pippen finished his Bulls career with averages of 17.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists. He's second only to Jordan in franchise history in games played, minutes played, field goals and points.
During his prime, Pippen averaged 20.0 points, 7.3 rebounds and 6.0 assists for the Bulls, winning six championships and making six All-Star teams along the way. Scottie was also the 1994 All-Star Game MVP and he will always be the second-greatest player in Bulls franchise history.
Power forward: Dennis Rodman
EVERYONE in Chicago hated Rodman when he was on the Detroit Pistons. But when the Bulls acquired the Worm from the San Antonio Spurs in 1995, Rodman quickly became a fan favorite in the Windy City.
Rodman led the league in rebounding all three years he was with the Bulls. He put up 5.2 points and 15.3 rebounds during his tenure in Chicago and was named a Hall of Famer in 2011.
Dennis is the Bulls' all-time leader in rebounds per game and that's a record which probably will never be broken.
Center: Artis Gilmore
LaVine went with Pau Gasol for his pick at center. Gasol only played two seasons with the Bulls, so he can't really be considered an all-time Chicago great despite being a future Hall of Famer.
Gasol is more of a legend with the Los Angeles Lakers since he won two championships alongside Kobe Bryant.
The best center in Bulls franchise history is Artis Gilmore and it's not even close. The A-Train is the team's all-time leader in blocks and field goal percentage. He's also sixth in total rebounds and seventh in points.
Gilmore was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2011. He averaged 20.1 points and 11.5 rebounds from 1977-1982 for Chicago, making four All-Star appearances. Nevertheless, this is the end of our attempt of putting together a Chicago Bulls all-time starting lineup.
