what does producing the hamiltons mean to rage of the stage ? the prospect of such an opportunity for a small company such as ours—especially here in pittsburgh—is unprecedented . it will be an amazing experience .

the hamiltons isn’t the most violent film , but it’s certainly not for the faint of heart . who will the hamiltons be appropriate for ? we wouldn’t want to alienate any members of the rage’s fanbase , and age - appropriateness is very subjective due to the alternative , liberal - minded audiences we draw . we always make a point of thoroughly addressing the content of any show we are producing at a given time and allowing people to make those decisions for themselves .
“hamiltons tutors have enabled me to complete my education to the best of my ability . they put in their best efforts towards their students’ learning and this helped me to achieve the grades that i wanted” .
pleasant quiet stay at hamiltons hotel . we enjoyed the convenient complimentary breakfast and very friendly hotel staff . really wish the room was a little bigger and had its own bathroom . i would stay there again
the hamiltons seem to be the picture - perfect american family . they are hardworking community members ; giving to their local charities , attending town hall meetings and always respectful of their neighbors . . . except for the fact that they usually end up killing them .
when the hamiltons pulled into town , word quickly spread about their recent loss . it seemed the group of young good - looking siblings unpacking boxes next door had just become orphans - - their parents dying mysteriously somewhere back in the midwest . now , stewarded by the eldest brother david the brooding twins wendall and darlene , and young sensitive francis are doing their best to settle in . . . even though they have two local girls bound and gagged in their new basement . 2006 the hamiltons . llc . all rights reserved .
the production values of the film , which was apparently shot on digital video , are a drawback , unfortunately . the low - budget nature of the hamiltons goes without saying , but the photography is lacking in certain areas - - an overall dullness permeates the look of the film . the performances are generally strong for a picture of this ilk , however , and the filmmakers make good use of what is essentially a one - location story .
directed by the butcher brothers , “the hamiltons” at first glance reminded me a lot of “an american family” . remember that one kiddies ? it was basically the first reality show & featured the daily going on’s of the loud family . it pretty much ruined their lives as well . but , bingo ! …a new genre was born . and it thrives to this day . but “the hamiltons” doesn’t really stick with the whole “reality” vibe for long . i felt that way because one of the family of four has a penchant for recording the daily lives of his brothers & sister . usually to their chagrin . but i’m getting ahead of myself…
producers of the awards also dedicated the ceremony to the families and friends of those affected .

what drew you to the hamiltons ? first and foremost , it’s a quirky drama about a family of four dysfunctional , orphaned siblings . the horror aspect is another layer entirely . it had such a theatrical feel to it that i instantly started viewing it through that perspective .
overall , the black saint gives “the hamiltons” 3 shrouds . a small film that isn’t looking to hit you over the head with shocks & gore . it’s more of a domestic drama that wants to give you a small case of the heebie jeebies . and in my opinion , it succeeds in it’s own low key way . worth a watch .

the hamiltons , aka sydney siblings tom and emma hamilton grew up in a musical household , touring as children with their father’s irish - folk band . an eclectic childhood ( additionally their mother is parisian french ) saw the duo bingeing on jazz standards , the everley brothers , and brian wilson : resulting in a pleasantly nostalgic sound to their music .
where the butcher brothers have reunited all four of the actors who played the family members . cory knauf , the youngest family member , also co - writes the screenplay this time ( and naturally his character carries the lions share of the story , while the other three returning characters are sidelined to essentially supporting parts ) . the butcher brothers have also taken the opportunity of a slightly larger budget to relocate the sequel to england for the bulk of its running time .
for about as long as it can , “the hamiltons” refuses to play by most of the genre rules , and is best experienced as a ghoulish comedic take on the post - modern american family , in which the chain of command is up for grabs . for a while , it seems the clan survives by eating its victims , but the best trick deployed by the butcher brothers ( the showbiz moniker for mitchell altieri and phil flores ) is to turn this presumption in a different direction just as francis endures some macabre changes of his own .

what appears to be a suburban donner party becomes something even more disturbing in the butcher brothers’ first joint film , “the hamiltons . ” cheeky horror is the tone for this archly surreal telling of how a family of peculiar siblings manages to raise themselves without their late parents , but the comedy is somewhat more slanted in the tradition of tobe hooper than kevin williamson . midnight slots at fests and specialty cinemas are a no - brainer , and vid should spill some blood .

and all the while , the viewer is wondering what is going on in that basement precisely , and what the heck is lenny anyway ? the body count in the picture isn ' t particularly high , but there ' s a fair amount of blood and disturbing imagery in the death scenes that do happen . and the payoff of that central mystery is surprisingly satisfying , especially when the revelation has come and it all becomes so clear - - and so obvious - - what has been going on all along . the fact that francis ' story ties directly into the mystery in the end is also rewarding , even if one ' s definition of the term

hamilton , ” lin - manuel miranda’s landmark musical about founding father alexander hamilton , had its coronation sunday at the 70th tony awards . as expected , the show won for best musical , capping a triumphant season that seized the attention not just of broadway but of the entire nation .
but what also , unfortunately , unexpectedly distinguished sunday ' s ceremony and its cbs broadcast was that it came on the heels of the shootings in orlando , fla . , that targeted a community central to and inextricable from the life of the theater . there was a question of how this would be addressed in the ceremony . we will get to that too .

for years this writer had heard nothing but negative things about kevin connors 1982 japanese / american haunted house opus the house where evil dwells and that , coupled with the fact that the premise just didnt seem that interesting , caused me to steer clear .
like all good japanese ghost stories the house where evil dwells is deeply weird and thats likely why certain critics and fans didnt respond to it upon release . but its alien oddness brushes up against a legitimately affecting domestic melodrama , one that gives george a long leash to deliver a fearless , uninhibited performance that is as emotionally complex as it is sexual ( the actress has no qualms about showing off her gorgeous body ) . all these elements combine to make the house where evil dwells one of the great , unsung 80s horror films . theres nothing really quite like it .
scream factory may be scraping the bottom of the barrel sometimes with these double feature releases , but , this time around , enjoyment can be found , especially in the house where evil dwells . they aren’t the best films and some may find them boring , but overall , if it was found for the right price ( let’s say $ 15 ) , they are worth the purchase .
oh dear , where to start . premise wise this one should have offered us some real scares and thrills . since most of it is very similar to the story from the grudge ( the remake that is ) . well , partly . but don’t get your hopes up because the evil isn’t strong in this one . the house where evil dwells is about an american family coming to live in a house that is haunted . of course like always in films like these they don’t take this seriously and are happy to live in such a beautiful place . especially when they hear it is super cheap . who wouldn’t be swayed by that ?
the house where evil dwells and ghost warrior are presented on blu - ray from scream factory , and they’ve never looked better . the films have been cleaned up nicely , with no noticeable visual issues or audio problems . the budgets for the films are a bit low , so you have to understand what you’re getting into , but looking at these transfers , scream factory did a wonderful job .
shout ! factory brings ' the house where evil dwells / ghost warrior ' to blu - ray as a double - feature single - disc release under the distributor ' s scream factory line . the region a locked , bd50 disc containing both films is housed inside a regular blue case with reversible cover art . at startup , the disc goes to an animated screen with music where viewers can choose between the two movies , and then taken to the standard menu screen with full - motion clips .
the house where evil dwells gets sneered at for what many believe to be inadvertent humor and inept attempts to scare , but i dont see it that way . the ghosts themselves ( achieved via a very cool in - camera technique pioneered by german expressionists ) act like a malevolent greek chorus to the dissolution of the family and theyre a deeply surreal addition that adds a kind of bizarre black comedy to the often histrionic drama .
research a coffee house , a bar , a restaurant , or some other place in your neighborhood where artists and writers gather , then explain the appeal of that place in a short essay .
an american family moves into a house in japan , haunted by samurai ghosts and giant crabs .
chock full of 70 ' s b - television staples , house where evil dwells is the perfect movie to watch while getting drunk with a bunch of friends . it ' s hard to beat ghosts who must open and close doors to get in and out of the house they ' re haunting ( silly susan george opens the door after a monk exorcises the house and lets them all back in ! ) and giant attacking crabs muttering in japanese . and not to be missed is the last scene in which out - of - shape doug mcclure is possessed by the ghost of a samurai and awkwardly kicks and chops at mow stud edward albert ( oh , trampas ! ) high camp that is sure to please .
i eventually forgot about the picture and was only reminded of its existence when the film showed up in my mailbox on scream factory’s double feature blu - ray , coupled with charles and albert bands 1984 action flick ghost warrior ( aka swordkill ) . well , good things come to those who wait and im happy to report that the house where evil dwells is an absolutely insane horror film ; a mad amalgam of eastern and western sensibilities , filled with sex , violence , humor , absurdity and hysteria .

a middle - aged woman , traumatized from the death of her adulterous lover , moves into a room at a new orleans boarding house where the blind landlord becomes suspicious to her activities of continuing her affair with her dead lover .
the house where evil dwells can be a little slow at times , and the ghosts really are the worst spirits this side of the afterlife . they don ` t do much and the movie never explains why the three of them are acting out together , as clearly , they didn ` t seem like the best of friends when they were alive . however , when the ending rolls around and we get a few hilarious , albeit , gnarly scenes , i felt like it was worth the sit - down . plus , we get a good helping of boobies to saté your tastes .

the fact that the happy valley still exists after the house has been destroyed represents the triumph of good over evil , which is central to du maurier’s story . although max , and the protagonist along with him , must pay the price of murder by being expelled from manderley and turned away from the paradise at the heart of it , in their love for each other , which the forces of evil could not destroy , the pair carry with them into exile the goodness that they sensed resided in the happy valley .

i know what you are thinking . all of this sounds bad . real bad . and yes , i can’t deny that it did take some energy to keep watching . however there are some redeeming factors though that could make it worth your while . the intro scene while taking forever does show some intense stuff . nudity , sex and some sword action . seeing how the house where evil dwells feels like one of those tv movies where you can’t show too much skin and violence they managed to do surprisingly well . actually a lot of the simulated sex scenes are done with a sincerity by the actors ( including the sexy susan george ) that could be seen as erotic and hot . there are two reasons for this .
for example , rebecca reflects one of the central motifs in literature : the expulsion from paradise . significantly , when in the first chapters of the novel the protagonist mentions her grief , the focus is not on manderley , the house , but instead on that area of the grounds called the happy valley . the house was a showplace , created by rebecca and imbued with her evil spirit . her presence dominated the west wing , overlooking the ocean , and it was almost as evident in the east wing , where the newly wedded couple had been placed , for their rooms had been prepared by rebecca’s second self , mrs . danvers . rebecca seemed to haunt the oceanside cottage , where she had met her lovers , and the ocean itself , whose deceptive beauty and destructive force mirrored her own being .

although amusing in a few spots , ' the house where evil dwells ' fails at establishing any level of suspense or an elaborate mystery to engage viewers , but it comes with several unintentional laughs that might interest some . on the other hand , ' ghost warrior ' is a pleasant surprise featuring a fish - out - water premise that yields several bits of action , a likeable protagonist thanks to the excellent performance of hiroshi fujioka and a dramatic arc that genuinely satisfies . the blu - ray arrives with a very good audio and video presentation in both movies , but this is a bare - bones release , which might make some hesitant . still , the overall package is worth the price just to own the second film .
at some point in the past , there was a boom in samurai films ( i think . how else do you explain these two films . ) first , we had the house where evil dwells , about a horny japanese ghost , and the other is ghost warrior ( i much prefer the “i’m not even trying” name swordkill , ) a film that predates the oscar bait film encino man by about six years . both films certainly have their fair share of problems , be it a small budget , cheesy acting , or paper - thin plots , but oddly enough , the films still entertain . if anyone happens to be in the mood for a cheese fest , then what better way than with scream factory’s double feature blu - ray release .
while in her dream the narrator does return briefly to the library at manderley , where she and max had some companionable moments , it is the happy valley that must be seen as their paradise . at monte carlo , when he first describes his home to his future wife , max dwells not on the house , but on that particular area of the grounds . even without his comments , however , the protagonist would have recognized the importance of the happy valley . when max takes her there , she sees his joy , she finds herself freed from the oppression that grips her elsewhere on the estate , and somehow she knows that the happy valley is the heart , the central reality , of manderley .
starting with the fourth paragraph , however , there is a break in the way the poet’s impressions of the bar are reported . instead of giving readers sound impressions , he now only uses visual imagery . and at the same time , the sense of nastiness , almost of evil , is increased .
in the present day , an american family of three , writer ted fletcher , his wife laura , and their 12 - year - old daughter , amy , moves into this since - abandoned house and starts to experience incidents of haunting and possession . the three murdered people still haunt the house and subject each of the fletcher family to various harassment and mischief which gets more frequent and serious with each passing day…
monk is called in to exorcise the house , but the ghosts return and take over the bodies again , leading to a violent end . the film has more nudity than chills , but it does have some quirky humor , especially in the exorcism scene .
yet at the same time , the poet remains inside the bar , which is not just evil but snug . there is something comfortable about staying inside , risking the chance of human connection ( which may remain forever impossible ) rather than going outside into the snow , which will remain forever inaccessible to the poet .
phillip is given three weeks’ leave prior to returning to landguard . visiting the moon insurance office ( where he was a clerk before the war started ) he enquires if downham will be returning . if so , then
an american writer , ted fletcher ( edward albert ) , his wife , laura ( susan george ) , and 12 - year - old daughter , amy ( amy barrett ) , move into a dreamy traditional japanese house in rural kyoto prefecture . arranged by ted ' s american diplomat friend , alex curtis ( doug mcclure ) , the unusually spacious house is a steal , renting for just $ 250 / month .
he is based at tregaskis house . ( this is trefusis house : hw was actually there in the summer of 1917 and it was while there that he began to write . this was obviously a form of therapy recommended for the nervous state that he was in . ) there is bathing , tennis and rowing , picnics and trips out to the implacable , a warship from nelson’s era , moored out in the harbour where they could dive off the deck into the water . there is a great deal of larking about with surreptitious drinking and smoking . phillip makes friends with the tregaskis sixteen - year - old twins and local shop assistants , editha ( edie ) and beth sithney ( their real names ) .
a young american family moves to a house in kyoto , japan . it turns out to be haunted by the ghosts of a woman and her lover , who were killed by the woman’s husband , as well as the ghost of the husband , who killed himself afterward .
works through this tried - and - true plot in the usual ways . at times the screenplay has little flashes of cleverness , such as customers at a sushi shop where willie takes yoshimitsu mistaking him for the famous japanese star toshiro mifune .
it ' s the basically stupid and essentially unpleasant tale of an american family that move into a haunted house in the hills of japan ; and for an 89 - minute movie , it sure feels pretty fucking interminable , let me tell you .
a young american family moves to a house in kyoto , japan . it turns out to be haunted by the ghosts of a woman and her lover , who were killed by the woman ' s husband , as well as the ghost of the husband , who killed himself afterward .
on the journey back to england their ship hits a mine . spectre west drowns and phillip , in distraught state , is taken to the duchess of gaultshire’s hospital at husborne abbey , where he slowly recovers , learning that he has been awarded the dso .
the following day this no . 1 composite battalion march out of the line west to bresle , where it was disbanded and the men returned to their original units . a few days later the 2nd gaultshires are ordered by slow train back up to st omer ( where phillip / hw had first been in november 1914 ) and on to poperinghe : they learn that general gough has been removed from command of the vth army ( this was an iniquitous event – rescinded in later years : but the government needed a scapegoat at the time ) .
equally outrageous are scenes where the murderous dead samurais face appears grimacing in the daughters soup , to which the girl states theres a horrible face in my soup !  before her angry , demented dad tries to pour the steaming brew down her gullet . its a sequence of absolute madness and , rather than being silly , i found it to be an abstract re - enactment of the insanity of domestic abuse . then theres the unforgettable sequence where the daughter is menaced by the giant tree - crab monster , a deliciously crude remote controlled puppet that grumbles away in japanese , chasing her around the room .
the first two paragraphs of the poem immediately describe the first of these themes . the poet is sitting inside mcsorley’s saloon in greenwich village , new york city . outside it is “beautifully snowing , ” ( line 2 ) but inside it is “snug and evil” ( line 3 ) . the second paragraph is a sort of verbal collage of various impressions of the interior of the bar , mostly consisting of visual images , all thrown
the third paragraph continues in this mode , including in its collage effect snippets of the conversations that fill the air inside mcsorley’s . what is most notable in this paragraph and the one before it is the palpable sense of decay that fills the inside of the bar . the imagery is full of words that sound somehow disgusting : gobs , spittle , piddle , skulch . these and the various bits of conversation related in this paragraph help to heighten the sense that it is indeed “snug and evil” inside the bar .
after four days at home he returns to landguard , where he is detailed to attend the minden day celebration at husborne ( home of the duke ) with his colonel , lord satchville . so he returns to the abbey , no longer a patient but as soldier honoured with the dso . phillip finds the ceremony moving ,
this is a story of the last year of the great war , and of the year following the first silence upon the battlefield . it has a small beginning , set in a time when all combatants , except perhaps those of the united states – who had yet to share in the general sufferings of the old world – were coming to the end of their endurance upon both the home front , and the western front – that deadly area where millions of husbands and sons had fallen , in the coastal sandhills beside the channel ; in the brown , the treeless , the grave - set plain of flanders ; among the slag - heaps and derelict pithead - gear of artois ; upon the chalk uplands of picardy and champagne ; in the forests of argonne and alsace extending to the neutral country of switzerland – where below mountain peaks , under the snow , wild flowers lay resting as still within their corms and bulbs as the human dead upon the battlefield .
their destination is ‘corunna’ , or ‘white city’ camp , where they find the quartermaster , colonel moggerhanger ( ‘moggers’ ) – quite a character , based on colonel cressingham , 2nd bedfordshires – who tells them the rest of the battalion is in the trenches . that night phillip sees flares denoting an attack , and the next morning the badly mauled battalion marches back in :
one morning he read in the newspaper that a new club for writers was to be formed in london , with premises in long acre , where once a week young authors and journalists might foregather to discuss literary matters and listen to lectures by famous writers .
phillip is now the officer commanding no . 1 composite battalion , based on a real ‘composite battalion’ ( see aw , henry williamson and the first world war , p . 144 , where some background to this is given ) . when on defence guard duties a shell bursts overhead .
this was a real event witnessed by hw . ( see hwsj 43 , sept , 2007 , john gregory , ‘the great war in the writings of henry williamson’ , pp . 68 - 91 , where there are several photographs of this event on pp . 89 - 90 . )
the speaker describes the saloon and its “slobbering walls” as “snug and evil . ” this seeming contradiction highlights the simultaneous attraction and repulsion the speaker holds for the place . cummings’s trademark disregard for conventional grammar and syntax are effective here , as they help to depict a bustling , chaotic , and dirty atmosphere that is nonetheless comfortable . adjective and adverbs such as “slobbering , ” filthily , ” “pompous , ” and “witless” all contribute to this description .
the fourth ‘message’ hidden here concerns phillip’s ( and thus hw’s ) attitude to his own experience of war . by the end of the book he has faced its horror and fear – although it is obvious he was forever deeply maimed – but he is becoming resigned and reconciled . we know from his writings in his early 1920s ‘richard jefferies journal’ that he found strength from the ‘power’ that made the natural world : a deeply philosophical concept even though not expressed in such terms , a searching for truth which underpinned his life thought and his writing . it also reflects the ‘light and darkness’ ( good and evil ) theme of later novels : that platonic concept of opposites – one cannot understand something without its opposite : to comprehend ‘light’ one has to have ‘dark’ : therefore to comprehend ‘good’ one has to have ‘evil’ .
it has two rooms , each with its individual admonitory sign , “be good or be gone . ” the walls are crowded with photographs and lithographs in which a vanished city dwells , and dead , buxom ladies and derbied men . the room in front has the bar , but the room in back boasts a famous lady of smooth and beautiful nudeness . . . . here writers , artists , and laborers still meet on equal terms , without distractions , to sluice down amber quarts in the abiding gloom .
he is sent down to tregaskis house at falmouth , cornwall , to convalesce but his wild behaviour ( reaction from tension ) gets him into trouble . in due course returning to landguard he asks for a transfer to the indian army , and is actually about to leave when , on 11 november 1918 , the war ends . the transfer is cancelled .
in 1840 , a samurai comes home to find his wife in bed with another man , so he kills them both and then himself . flash - forward to the present day , and an american family of three moves into this since - abandoned house and starts to experience incidents of haunting and possession .
in the new year he is transferred to shorncliffe ( folkestone , kent ) . he meets mrs evelyn fairfax ( the heroine of his earlier book the dream of fair women , part of the flax of dream series ) , buys the latest norton road - racing motorcycle , and generally creates mayhem ! he is transferred to cannock chase where his difficult behaviour quickly earns him demobilisation .
in the course of his duties he learns that the germans are preparing for a massive attack and he changes his name onto the a list ( active service ) and , taking the place of someone who has reported sick , goes back to france , where he meets up again with ‘spectre’ west , battalion co ( and triple dso ) , 2nd gaultshires .
just as the man seems to be more than an ordinary bar patron ( who has perhaps had too much to drink ) , so too does asking him if he would like a drink seem to be more than just a friendly invitation . the request is described as “the eternal perpetual question” and can be seen as the ultimate attempt to reach out to a world of decay and death , where one is always separated from the rest of the world , just as cummings is separated from the patrons at the bar . thus , not only is the man ( who is always described as “it” ) a person , he is the “darkness” of line 32 and possibly also the world itself , or at least its evil and ugly parts . to truly love and embrace the world , cummings seems to be saying , it’s necessary to be able to embrace its ugly side , to unite with its decay , to take that risk in exchange for connection .
see them ) but the movie audience can , all too clearly . this proves a frustrating contrivance : the audience understands exactly what ' s happening but the fletchers are clueless for most of the film . instead of generating suspense this device is merely irritating . later , when they do finally begin to catch on , they make that fatal decision all stupid people do in haunted house movies : stay put .
the poem is set in mcsorley’s ale house , where cummings frequently drank . it is a new york city saloon on east seventh between second and third avenues . known as a favorite haunt of bohemians and artists , mcsorley’s opened in 1854 , and both abraham lincoln and john f . kennedy are said to have visited the saloon . in the poem , the speaker , alternately meditative and descriptive , depicts his experience inside the saloon in typical cummings fashion , using nouns as verbs and vice versa , coining portmanteau words ( words whose form and meaning are derived from a blending of two or more distinct forms ) , twisting syntax , and fragmenting words . the poem visually resembles prose , with its division into twelve paragraph - like sections .
phillip is taken to a hospital at husborne abbey , run by the duchess of gaultshire , where he gradually recovers his strength and his sight . but he is in a state of acute anxiety , blaming himself for spectre’s death and certain that he is going to be reprimanded for this and court - martialled .
( test hereafter ) opens in february 1918 , and a harsh winter has been particularly difficult for the poor of london : food is scarce and this has its effect on the maddison household . phillip , still passed only as b2 – not fit for active service – is assistant adjutant to the co , lord satchville , at landguard camp outside felixstowe on the east coast , where he feels safe .
spectre sends phillip back to brigade hq with information where , to his frustration , he is kept until an order to retreat arrives . but a german machine gun is covering their exit route . phillip and his sergeant take a lewis gun and manage to take the germans out , and the retreat is completed . this german attack was coded michael .
phillip joins this ‘parnassus club’ . he takes julian warbeck to a meeting , but warbeck heckles the speaker and generally creates mayhem . phillip decides to become a journalist in fleet street and his grandfather thomas turney gets him ( through his connections in business ) an introduction to lord castleton , where he obtains a job in the canvassing department under major pemberthy .
it begins with the first glimpse of the poet himself , who is sitting , drinking the ale , “which never lets you grow old” and blinking ( note the sudden return to primarily visual imagery ) at the ceiling , almost as if he hopes to be lifted above , or at least out of the atmosphere inside the bar . while the poet feels pleasant enough , he is constantly being reminded of where he is by the retchings of the patrons ; and although he mostly just looks , his lamp remains “worthless , ” perhaps because it only gives light but does not illuminate .
( the reference to edgar allen poe’s poem crops up again in a later volume where it has more import and will be discussed at that point . it is enough here to state the obvious that it is about loss . here it is the loss of the life of comrades and comradeship , and of his youth which cannot be recaptured , of a world which is lost forever : ‘that lost kingdom’ – giving the title of this section . )
really , that’s all the movie is about . it’s a story we’ve all seen before and honestly , not much happens . a few people get sliced and diced , but besides that , we have a lot of scenes of yoshi walking around and looking confused . it’s not a terrible movie as far as terrible movies go , but i feel like the movie would’ve been better off if the samurai was some sort of evil killer who goes on a rampage . on a fun note , though , be sure to catch the easter egg involving the dungeonmaster .
the poet , confronted by the approach of this strange person , seems to be filled with loathing ( “nausea” is part of his sense - impressions of the man ) . “darkness it was so near to me , ” he notes ( line 32 ) . yet even when confronted by this apparently disgusting person , the poet does not give in to his fear but instead asks him if he would like a drink . confronted with everything that is terrible and evil in the bar , he chooses to reach out to it , to try to connect with it .
phillip leaves his dog with mrs neville and returns to landguard where , hearing a draft is leaving for the front , puts his own name down instead of the confidence trickster wilkins , who reports sick . he sends a telegram to lt - col . west to say that he is on his way . they arrive in france and entrain , passing through a desolate landscape :
research prohibition in the united states and write an essay exploring the contradictions between the law and the reality of alcohol consumption in the country during that time .
when the smoke had cleared the leaning figure on the broken campanile was not to be seen .
readers following hw’s writing will notice the covert reference there : the phrase ‘opening of a flower’ harks back to his early book about his boyhood , dandelion days – while ‘happy , happy , happy’ , is a phrase used by dryden in ‘alexander’s feast ( 1697 ) ’ : ‘happy , happy , happy , pair ! . . . none but the brave deserves the fair . ’ alexander the great was of course a war - lord . ( it also comes into chekhov’s play the three sisters where it has a more ironic connotation . )
this story is simply about a house in japan that was violated by a love affair and a butcher shop climax in the very beginning of the picture . there is a curse placed on this home and of course , susan george has the great opportunity of giving a great performance as she usually does , lots of sexy scenes and george does pay the price for living in this home . if you are a susan george fan , please view this film , she keeps you spell bound in every scene .
he stands at the end of the line of blake , shelley and jefferies : he is the last classic and the last romantic .
but thomas turney is failing rapidly , and he shortly dies ( in a rather painful passage ) and is buried in randiswell cemetery . at the reading of the will we find elizabeth revealing her avaricious nature . the diamond ring that had been promised to his son charlie cannot be found ( and this is to cause future trouble ) . maudie , the sole remaining member of the cakebread family ( other than ralph , disinherited after he became a mormon ) gets her mother’s share of £8 , 000 . hetty is left his house ( next door ) and her share of the residual estate .
it is a rather odd decision to tell the audience in advance what the background story is of the haunting . for me this usually is the most interesting aspect and the scares that come with it i treat like a bonus . and unfortunately it ruins most of the viewing experience . not knowing and not seeing is infinitely more scary since then you can run your imagination wild . here most of the events are spelled out to you in such a laughable manner ( referring to the “there is an awful face in my soup” ) that it becomes hard to take anything seriously . what is worse that even the remainder of the questions that one might have get answered . if you could be bothered to listen to what the zen monk has to say about the house and the ghosts . this monk btw very happily offers himself to exorcise the ghosts . although the fletcher family might have been better off calling the ghostbusters for this job .

in the film’s balletic and bizarre opening , we meet the former residents of the house . a scowling samurai watches in fury as his comely wife makes sweet love to another man in their living room and , before they finish their passionate , illicit coupling , the sword - wielding cuckold bursts in , swinging for vengeance . after a wildly protracted , slow - motion attack , the husband hacks the arm off his wifes lover and before his spurting stump runs dry , he hacks off the horny mans head for good measure . without missing a beat , he opens his wifes throat and then commits gory suicide , impaling himself on his weapon .
so what if a few ghosts try to spook you ? nothing we can handle , right ? to be honest i personally would be very sceptic and paranoid about living in an old place with a rich history . at the same time though many bad things have happened in many houses around the world . you would not be able to live anywhere if superstition would get the upper hand . sometimes you just have to be practical . thing is that in this case we know that something bad happened in the house . because it is shown to us in the introductory scene .
as the great battles of the spring of 1918 broke upon france and flanders , so the flowers of the upland valleys arose with blooms as fugacious as human hopes for the outcome of the war , which , it was said everywhere , would decide the fate of the world .
behind him is denis sisley from landguard , looking haggard and ill ( again , his real name – as are many others here ) . the depleted battalion is now out at rest . drafts of young soldiers arrive to make up numbers . phillip writes home using a code embedded in his letter to explain where he was actually stationed : perronne ( as hw had done in 1917 letters home from the front ) . peronne is south - east of albert on the somme .
the first stanza of “i was sitting in mcsorley’s” introduces the setting of the poem and one of its themes : the distinction between the inside and outside worlds . these worlds are literally the inside and outside world of the bar and the city , but they are also the inside world of reflection—focusing on self and the outside world of perception—focusing on others .
he now buys a norton brooklands road special motorcycle and is able to get about the countryside in style . his sister elizabeth , spending a holiday in folkestone , spies on him and reports his ‘goings on’ to their mother . the ‘folkestone scene’ is kept quite short here . it hinges back to the similar episode related in the dream of fair women ( 1924 ) , where we are told the tale in great detail from willie maddison’s point of view . both willie and phillip are of course versions of hw himself . it all makes for fascinating reading !
resting astride the norton on the crest of the sydenham ridge he looked north and saw the grammar school on the hill standing above a grey wilderness of roofs and church spires under the smoke of london . if only it were like ypres , so that the rubble could be cleared away , and fields of grass and corn rise again ; or even lie in ruins like the cloth hall , with grass growing on the ruined walls , and wild flowers , and willows , and strange birds returned to a wilderness sanctuary – then there might be hope . where could he go , what could he do . . . was his longing to be forever like that of edgar allen poe for annabelle lee in that lost kingdom by the sea ?
receive a dso in real life . ) he gets drunk and causes a minor scandal by hiding under edie’s bed , passing out and terrifying the poor girl . for this misdemeanour he is sent away from tregaskis to devonport military hospital ( as was hw ) , where he meets ‘dear , delightful gibbo’ , who ' sometimes stuck on a charlie chaplin moustache , while wearing an eyeglass with his usual languid manner ' .
as a child , cummings’s artistic and literary interests were encouraged by his parents , and he determined early that he wanted to become a poet . after graduating from cambridge latin school , cummings entered harvard , where he studied poetry and the visual arts and contributed poems to the harvard advocate and the harvard monthly . cummings was also featured in the anthology eight harvard poets . in 1915 , he graduated with a degree in greek and english literature and gave the commencement address . in that address , he applauded what he called “the new art , ” which included cubism , futurism , impressionism , imagism , and postimpressionism .
so when mcclure and the locals tell the albert and george that the home is haunted , we believe it .
these two stanzas repeat phrases and information from the beginning of the poem , giving the poem a circular shape and providing closure . that the shadow “did not answer” underscores the speaker’s aloneness in the saloon , the sense of his separateness from all that surrounds him .
richard stayed till the end of the month : they went to the west country writers meeting at bristol , 22 - 23 may , where hw made a speech responding to ‘guest , c . s . forrester’ : ‘did so , with goon - like jokes’ . l . p . hartley was also present as a guest . in august mrs allsop ( ken allsop’s wife betty ) , and their children amanda and fabian , plus a french girl , stayed at the cottage for four weeks . it is unsurprising that work on novel no . 8 was slow !
not a movement among the crews , only the ribbons of their caps fluttering in the breeze ; not a word from the onlookers as the u - boats went by in procession to surrender .
“the special effects , particularly the ones in which the ghosts interact with the live characters , are good , but everything else is fairly silly . ” vincent canby , the new york times , 1982
, succeeds in showing the family setting off on an exciting adventure the movie audience vicariously experiences . too bad the ghosts show up to spoil all the fun .
appropriately enough , this stanza shadows the previous one . the “eternal perpetual question” is
on monday 27 april christine and their son left for york ( visiting christine’s mother ) : hw took them to bristol station and continued on to bungay via oxford ( to visit s . p . b . mais in his new house : ‘he was less farouche and bitter’ ) , and then thelnetham in norfolk to see john murry’s widow mary murry and her friend ruth baker , first visiting murry’s grave ( j . m . murry of community farm fame , owner of the adelphi before handing over to hw , and author of comprehensive essay on hw’s writing ) – before finally reaching bungay , arriving after midnight . while there he visited adrian bell ( writer and friend ) at nearby beccles , and lilias rider haggard ( with whom he had collaborated over a norfolk life ( 1943 ) , see entry in due course ) at her home , the bath house , ditchingham , norfolk – the village neighbouring bungay . he returned home on 4 may with his son richard , picking up christine at bristol station en route . he had stopped at oxford , recording :
after he graduated from harvard in 1916 , cummings moved to new york city , where he stayed , with time away during world war i , for most of his life . cummings probably wrote “i was sitting in mcsorley’s” around 1917 , when he was living in greenwich village in new york city , part of that time with his friend william slater brown , whom he met during the war . cummings’s biographer charles norman notes that cummings frequented mcsorley’s , which he describes as follows :
is about as scary as hello kitty . the big problem is that the three ghosts , inexplicably a team in the great beyond , are too literal and reveal their presence to the audience - but not the fletchers - too early in the story .
name the world . cummings’s associative imagery and unconventional syntax present not a literal picture of the world within mcsorley’s saloon , as much as it does the speaker’s emotional and subjective response to that place . that response is depicted in a rush of concrete images that are not spatially ordered or tied to narrative . the effect of this kind of description is an impressionistic rendering of the saloon , where no clearly defined shapes come into focus . the blurry nature of the picture is illustrated in the first lines of the second stanza , when cummings writes “the slobbering walls filthily push witless creases of screaming warmth chuck pillows are noise funnily swallows . ” such an impressionistic representation of the physical world suggests that the role of language is not simply to name what is out there but also to question what is out there . by calling attention to language’s incapacity to provide an objective depiction of the world , cummings asks readers to think about their own relationship to words and the things they represent . language is more a prism than a window , cummings’s poem suggests , and once readers acknowledge their part within that prism , they can participate in the poet’s vision of the world as he sees it .
the book is basically about courage : courage tested to the point of destruction – here within the last stages of the war , but further as a concept for the whole war . the various quotations that occur as part headings or within the text all serve to emphasise that concept . but ‘destruction’ is also used as a metaphor for more literal destruction : that of the structure of the actual landscape fought over , and of the old pre - war europe .
phillip cuts any celebration of his investiture with his family , and indeed with his regiment , and spends the evening with his friends desmond and eugene ; he later meets a girl who picks him up and they end up sleeping together . hiring a car , he attends the shooting party at husborne abbey where he sees young melissa again , feeling he loves her . he forbears to call in to see his relations at neighbouring beau brickhill . back at landguard he is shocked to realise he has caught a venereal infection , seeks medical advice , and adds to his burden of unworthiness .
the second feature on the disc is indeed the empire pictures release ghost warrior , the fish - out - of - water tale of a thawed out samurai ( real - life samurai hiroshi fujioka ) who wanders out of the high - tech hospital where hes being studied by a pretty young doctor ( janet julian ) and into the streets of la . there he encounters thugs and grease - balls of every sort , befriending a kindly old man ( charles lampkin ) while inadvertently becoming a kind of vigilante . ghost warrior isnt a horror film at all , rather its a kind of samurai - fueled death wish with a central gimmick that makes it feel like the pilot of a post - 70s tv show . its plenty fun , played straight , briskly paced and bloody and sss is a fantastic presence . definitely one of the better early 80s band family offerings .

the one the speaker asks of the shadow . cummings implicitly pokes fun at philosophical and unanswerable “eternal” questions such as , is there a god ? and what is the meaning of life ?
a prologue featuring the murders in 1840 sets everything up , but the film would have worked much better if the audience had to figure things out along with the fletchers . instead , the ghosts literally materialize outside ted and laura ' s bedroom window the very night they arrive , hovering about them for the rest of the picture . the fletchers can ' t see them ( until midpoint , when for no clear reason ted can
in the winter of 1917 - 18 the great war for civilization . . . was about to enter its penultimate phase on the western front .
the warm bar smelled of flat beer . you could hear the gush of squirting taps and the piddle - of - drops and see the bartender knock the slush of foam from the head of the beers . voices could be heard above the din , saying things like “kiddo” and “hey you , ” “no sir , ” “yep , ” “thaz me , kid , ” and “who’s a bum ? ” you could hear the tinking of the silver mugs and see the sawdust on the floor . tipsy people with gluey grins and smoking cigars pack the tables , winking and pointing at one another , flashing money while buying drinks , wobblying .
dickie is very worried , phillip didn’t answer the letter from the general secretary [ of the moon office about returning to pre - war job ] .
