commercial neon signs–free and accessible to all–are repositories for stories both grand and personal . some say they are a dying breed , but project neon believes they are a unique and vital part of new york’s identity . the signs’ particular quality of light , their lovely typography and design , and the history they embody all make neon signage worth celebrating , preserving , and perpetuating .

the film quickly switches gears from a brutal western to a
ship of souls
tale where a rag - tag group of outsiders form a caravan heading to the fabled neon city where they hope to start new lives . right away the film falters , suffering from some corny humor , terrible costumes , and an ill advised agatha christieesque
who - done - it
sub plot that ultimately has a weak pay off .
after the start of the turf wars , the whole city was forced to fragment into gangs . every territory is delimited by violence , also their resources and people within belongs to the boss of each crew .
our garrison is a part of the 501st legion , “the world’s definitive imperial star wars costuming organization . ” endorsed and preferred by lucasfilm ltd . the neon city garrison of the 501st legion performs charitable events and community - based ventures , while celebrating and promoting the star wars universe with people young and old . our group has participated with groups including make - a - wish foundation , poppy foundation , girl scouts , and the summerlin children’s hospital .
considering monte markham is a director most famous for filming slow motion boobs on tv ' s baywatch i was more than a little shocked to see his name credited as the writer / director of this odd ball , though not entirely un - enjoyable , post apocalyptic romp from 1992 . starring genre favorite michael ironside as a rough and tumble bounty hunter , and ex - canadian super model vanity as his sultry bounty , neon city tries to be a kick ass knock off of a gritty and violent spaghetti western , but ends up being a third rate mad max clone and somewhat of a confusing mess . however , for hardcore pa fans who ' ve developed the stomach for all those mad max and escape from new york knock offs from the likes of enzo g . castellari and joe d ' amato , neon city might be worth tracking down as it is yet another fun sunday afternoon viewing .
across the city you will find a lot of people to interact with . some of they share you ideals of unification and peace , some others seek chaos and mayhem . here is a quick peek of them .
now , picture yourself in a not so distant cyberpunk / nu - wave future where almost everyone in your city was forced to be part of a gang and dragged into a turf war that have broken the equilibrium of the whole metropolis and his habitants . apparently the only way to restore this balance is to go deep into each one of the gang turfs and defeat their leaders to unify the city and its people once again .
enjoy the nu - wave / jazz - hop soundtrack filled up with nostalgia , action and drama all wrapped up exclusively in 16 - bit era style instruments ( genesis / snes ) to achieve an old - school city ambiance .

plot : this futuristic tale follows bounty hunter harry stark ( michael ironside ) as he transports a beautiful fugitive named reno ( vanity ) to prison . when harry discovers that she is a highly sought - after criminal , he has to bring her to the big metropolis of neon city . unfortunately , this means traveling with the muscle - bound bulk ( lyle alzado ) and other misfits through dangerous and uncivilized lands , a situation made more perilous by life - threatening weather and vicious marauders .
the protagonist of the game , the unselfish hero . you will play the rol of this rad dude that even with his rough appearance is ready to give everything to unify his city and to bring peace once again to his people .
neon city is a decent post - apocalyptic take on stagecoach . the world in which it takes place is nicely formed . there are these periodic instances of severe sunlight referred to as
brights
that leave those exposed to it with severe radiation poisoning . there are mutants , and social politics involved in the treatment of them , and breeding between mutants and non is harshly viewed . the society that exists is devolved back into classic western tropes - - headhunters , fascist law enforcement , theives , and so forth .
the secret is the third and final ( in 2016 ) installment of mapping the city . fiamma montezemolo’s exhibition consists of two installations — ‘ three ecologies ’ and ‘ neon afterwords ’ ( the latter one especially produced for this occasion thanks to the italian cultural institute ) — which straddle the interstices between art and anthropology , the self and the other . guided by their senses , the secret’s viewers will be invited to forge their own pathway through the installations to seek out meaning , replicating a journey from jorge luis borges’ short story “the ethnographer . ”
when i hear , or think of actor michael ironside . i’m so use to him in a genre film of this ilk playing the hissable bad guy / henchman , in one shape or another , so it was a nice change of pace to see him at the opposite end of the spectrum . his gruff , tough as nails anti - hero performance , ex - ranger turned bounty hunter , makes it worthwhile , as the straight - to - video “neon city” is virtually unspectacular , yet a durable and smoky post apocalyptic low - budget action fare .
norfolk’s first official arts district , the neon district , is home to a new wave of passion and creativity in downtown . neon , or new energy of norfolk , draws from the neighborhood’s history with the automobile industry as it moves into a new and vibrant future . long time cultural institutions like the chrysler museum of art and harrison opera house anchor the district while new art venues like glass wheel studio and work | release provide artists a place to make , create and show . whether you are a local or visiting for the first time , the neon district offers a unique cultural experience . within a few short blocks you can see a muralist at work , take in an improv comedy performance at push comedy theater , watch a live glass - working demonstration , shop for unique home goods , get a tattoo or dine out at an eclectic restaurant . the neighborhood is fast transforming into the place to be .
this highly technological world is full of futuristic city monuments that give more of a future world of trove . the land is filled with plasma instead of water that can drain energy off of players . this biome is home to many robots such as cyberdrones , bladebots , and punchbots .
in order to finish up your quests , unlock new areas and beat up your enemies you need to find a bunch of items and abilites hidden in the whole city and figure out how and when to use them . the mastery of your skills is key to progress in your mission .

they are a bit more expensive and sturdy than regular ones but the colours are more vivid . for the tea sign i just used bent part that was more or less of the same size . i must say i ' m quite fond how do they look so i ' ll be adding more straw attachments to my buildings for the cheep cyberpunk neon effect
ironside ' s harry stark is a bounty hunter in the year 2053 , where the world ' s environment has gone to hell after the ozone layer was destroyed in a botched scientific experiment . at the beginning of the movie , we see him capture an escaped prisoner ( played by vanity - her character ' s name according to the credits is
reno
, though i don ' t think it ' s actually mentioned once during the movie ) at a remote outpost . he then drags her back to civilization ( at least , what passes for civilization now ) to turn her in and collect the reward . though once he ' s there , he discovers that he now has to hand her over to the authorities in neon city . not only is it several days journey from where stalk is now , it ' s through territory plagued by gun - wielding bandits , as well as pockets of polluted air and lethal sun rays . several subsequent circumstances beyond his control soon find himself and reno aboard a large armored transport vehicle on its way to neon city , along with a variety of other passengers , among them a spoiled socialite , a comedian , a doctor , a woman who apparently knows stark from the past , and an ex - convict that stark put in jail five years earlier . in other words , what we have here is an update of the classic movie stagecoach ; it goes to show that the western isn ' t dead , just evolved into other genres .
our members the “troopers” who form neon city garrison are regular people who reach out beyond the bounds of their daily jobs and responsibilities to volunteer their time and service by participating in charitable work within the local community . the men and women who don the costumes of the various characters of the star wars universe , do so with the belief that their activity is beneficial to others as well as themselves . our success continually depends on the dedication , professionalism , and enthusiasm of our members to accomplish our goals of helping to create success in the events that we attend . we , and the 501st legion have worked closely over the years with lucasfilm ltd . , at conventions and events in a continued effort to promote our love of star wars by bringing the characters to life for the enjoyment of all .
is neon city a terrible movie ? no , it certainly isn ' t ; i was never bored while i was watching it , because there was something of interest to look at every few minutes . but while its facade looks good , the interior , while not repugnant , is lacking life . not just with the characters and their interactions , but in other areas . ( the action sequences , for one thing , are mostly generic . ) while it ' s a movie that passes the time adequately enough , it has nothing that will compel a viewer to rush out and find it , or make them want to see it again after watching it . if a picture is worth a thousand words , then i would have cashed in some of this movie ' s good look for a screenplay with more substance .
not long after a technological pinnacle , the society experimented a quick economic downhill that ended in the fast accumulation of useless robotics and damaged utopian structures . even when their time on the top was little , the cyborgs learned enough data and intelligence to create their own sub - society and seize the east side of the city . now they just try to survive and encapsulate their kind into their turf .
for this project we got inspired by some of our favorite games like link’s awakening , hyper light drifter , mother series , final fight series , fallout 3 and even the dynamics of resident evil to name some . and thanks to this influence and your feedback we will be able to build our own identity and concept which we know it will be appealing to you and get you into invest many hours enjoying this city , its inhabitants and its mechanics .
the first thing we defined was the contextual concept , which we decided to fuse the urban aesthetics of new york gangs during the 70 ' s and 80 ' s with science fiction concepts , specifically cyberpunk . after that we were adding more ideas like the use of supernatural abilities , the division of turfs and the identity of their gangs , the correlation of your new skills and their mechanics to unlock areas and to destroy enemies more easily , the relationship of the city and its inhabitants with you and how these connection allow you to unlock new features , and finally add a simple but deep story filled with a charismatic cast , moral drama and good sense of humor .
in neon city , ironside plays bounty hunter hero harry stark . at least , i assume he ' s supposed to be the hero , since he ' s a really rough and gruff fellow with the hint of a snarl on his lips . since there are meaner guys encountered in this movie , i guess he is the hero , though i think the proper term would be anti - hero . what ever kind of hero he is , it ' s kind of a disappointment to see ironside the way he is here , especially since this kind of role is rare for him . frequently , his character ' s sour disposition makes him almost come across as a bad guy who is masquerading not very well as a good guy . at least , the times when his character talks , which isn ' t as often as you ' d think . and with a number of other characters getting focus in the movie , it ' s kind of odd having a hero who doesn ' t seem to have that much more focus than the supporting characters . the times when he is standing out , it ' s actually hard to get caught up by what he ' s doing ; there ' s something unnatural looking about ironside in this movie . the features on his face don ' t stand out , almost as if the makeup artist didn ' t touch up his face for the camera lens . his hair , except for the ponytail , looks as if it ' s paint on a bald hair . he looks strange .

okay , i for one liked this movie . now granted , it doesn ' t compare to the special effects that are around today , but overall , i enjoyed it ! it had an interesting plot , lots of action , nice character development , and an excellent performance by michael ironside . this movie held my interest all the way through until the last scene . it is categorized as science - fiction ; however , there was very little scientific lingo , so it is easy enough for anyone to follow . i especially enjoyed how the characters began as strangers in the movie , and slowly melded together into a sort a renegade troupe , determined to stay alive . i would definitely recommend this movie to anyone who can get there hands on it !

though i know the river is dry ( arabic : مع آني آعرف آن النهر قد جف ) is a 2013 palestinian short crowd-sourced film directed by egyptian-british filmmaker and writer omar robert hamilton .

though i know the river is dry

though i know the river is dry - trailer from omar robert hamilton on vimeo .
then when he tries to go back , the river is dry , reality has over taken them .
the song is about women by a river , and in the wagner version the river is the rhine , and the song is all about beauty .
we’d love your help . let us know what’s wrong with this preview of the dry by jane harper .
this scene is one of many in ‘though i know the river is dry’ that suggest the main character’s memories and feelings towards palestine are largely filled with pain and destruction . though set in the present day , the story has archive footage edited in ; a combination of both paints a picture of bombings , homes being destroyed by bulldozers , and police violence against children .
then i’ll know who to thank , she said , and give me a straight look .
set in kanchanaburi along the river , the glory river kwai hotel offers an outdoor pool and modern rooms . free wifi is available in public areas .

riverdry films is the independent film production company of director omar robert hamilton and producer louis lewarne . both were raised in the uk and now live in egypt and are currently deeply involved in the documentation of the egyptian revolution . riverdry films was established to run hamilton and lewarne ' s fiction work – their first project is ' though i know the river is dry ' . future projects are in development with independent directors in cairo and ramallah .
“there won’t be a dry eye in the house , ” the saxophonist mark rivera said .
by the end of the song however , the river is dry because at this point it is clear that their dreams are never coming true . even though he wants to believe that his hopes are still possible , he knows that they are not , and now he only has the memories of those hopes .
i can ' t be sure that springsteen is using
the river
as analogous for life in general , or a vagina as the source of the beginning of life - youth , optimism , hope etc . i tend to the former , as he says repeatedly
we
go down to the river , rather than
i
go down to the river .
i think you ' ll find the line is : is a dream a lie if it don ' t come true or is it something worse that sends me down to the river . . . .
' we know where you live ' : angry protesters confront mitch . . .
she rejected the label , saying ,
they thought i was a surrealist , but i wasn’t . i never painted dreams . i painted my own reality .
sorry , when i wrote
i prefer to take the lyrics literally rather than treat
the river
as a metaphor for anything .
as the opening sentence , this wasn ' t in direct response to the previous comment posted by guynemeth . i agree the river represents hope and dreams , just to clarify i also believe that the song also refers to a literal river as well .
the interviewer wants to know that you have clearly thought through your decision to leave your current job , and that you know what you want out of your next role .
there in the dry , it’s raining 5 - star reviews , and here i sit , trying to get right with my 3 - star drip - drop . maybe i’m using silly water analogies because i’m remembering how parched this locale is , a small farm town in australia , and i need some liquid . i’m sure that a big part of the allure of this story ( about a guy , falk , who is trying to solve a heinous crime ) is its vivid , scorched setting . everything is hot and dry and slow . i didn’t feel the heat for some reason , but i definitely felt th
some of our previous productions include shorts and feature films , including “the shooter” by ihab jadallah ( 2007 ) , “exit” by mohanad yaqubi ( 2009 ) , “chicken heads” by bassam jarbawi ( 2009 ) , “though i know the river is dry” by omar hamilton ( 2012 ) ; and the feature film “habibi rasak kharban” by susan youcif ( 2010 ) . many of the stated and the unstated works have been screened in festivals and events worldwide .
‘though i know the river is dry’ recently premiered in the uk at the palestine film festival in london . it is a crowd - funded , independent short film written directed , filmed and edited by omar robert hamilton . it is only around twenty minutes long , yet successfully draws attention to many layers of the complex palestinian problem : refugees , resistance , guilt , violence and identity . this year it has already won the prix uip in rotterdam and been nominated for the best short film in the european film awards .
omar robert hamilton is an british independent filmmaker , producer of the palestine festival of literature and a founding member of the mosireen collective in cairo . since 2011 he has made dozens of short documentaries on the egyptian revolution , helping to make mosireen the most watched non - profit youtube channel in egypt of all time . his third fiction short , though i know the river is dry , premiered in competition at rotterdam where it won the prix uip and is currently nominated for best short film at the 2013 european film awards .

“it’s truly been about letting the world know who she is , ” says doug johnson , black river’s vp of a & r ; - - and , especially in the grammy world , “about her songwriting , which is completely legitimate . ”
when interviewers ask this question , they want to know if you will last at the company .
in eliot ' s version , though , you ' re back to talking about the thames , and how
the river sweats / oil and tar
( 266 - 267 ) , which is not so beautiful .
put it this way : 4 - track demos is an important document — and an essential one for serious fans — but the number of times i find myself reaching for it over dry and rid of me is small .
when he wakes up on stevie’s bed after going round to feed her cat , we know he is grieving as though he’s lost his touchstone in life . for all of the imaginary figures we see with him , he is mostly alone and considered a weirdo by most colleagues .
the river
as written by martin terefe and katie victoria tunstall . . . .
kahlo folded in symbols from her mexican culture and allusions to her personal life in order to create a series of 55 surreal and uniquely revealing self - portraits . of these , she famously declared ,
i paint myself because i am so often alone , because i am the subject i know best .
눉 on floor 3 the hallway looked old & outdated , functional though , my guess it comes down to practicalities .
despite river’s protestations to the counselor , we know he loved stevie , although what kind of love it was is unclear . at this early stage , i see them as father and daughter or the doctor and his companion . he’s protective , but she’s easily as capable and clever as him .
that shot of river , perched high in the tree with the “ghost” of the dead girl sitting next to him is sublime . her boyfriend is moved to a holding cell while she reads from romeo and juliet ; juliet’s dying speech , and river realises he is going to make a second attempt at suicide .
so in the end , they both go down to the river (
my baby and i
) to revisit the place of their favourite memories and see if they can find some of their old love again . but it ' s not going to be the same . the fact that the river is dry represents this . there ' s going to be a certain emptiness about it no matter how hard they try .
still , it’s nice to know that harvey herself has strong affection for the album locked away . “i do think is this desire ? is the best record i ever made — maybe ever will make — and i feel that that was probably the highlight of my career , ” she later told the sun telegraph . “i gave 100 percent of myself to that record . maybe that was detrimental to my health at the same time . ”
then we meet the ghastly thomas neill cream , the infamous lambeth poisoner , played with relish by eddie marsan . river’s been reading about him and his rather unpleasant ideas , but i’m assuming that this is the last we’ll see of him after river decided to silence his angry ranting once and for all .
and we all know what wagner has to say about that :
weialala ,
that ' s what .
river kwai hotel accepts these cards and reserves the right to temporarily hold an amount prior to arrival .
i went into this book knowing the hype was high and many of my goodreads friends loved it . i was hoping to temper my expectations but i shouldn’t have been worried . this was an excellent book my friends ! i can’t believe this is jane harper’s debut novel . i’m impressed by her writing and storytelling . the dry was gripping from the beginning to the end . no joke . the book starts with aaron falk coming back home for the funeral of luke hadler . aaron is a federal investigator living in melbourne and wa

“i didn’t tell him to take it away , ” she said . “what i said was i didn’t want it to exist in the first place . it was really gross . ”
i blame aaron falk . he just made me add a new shelf on goodreads . series . you see , i don ' t like book series . with a few exceptional characters preceding aaron falk ( harry potter , christian grey , edward cullen , kinsey milhone ) have i read an entire series . it ' s just too much of a commitment and then i feel guilty if i miss a book in the series . i will not be missing any book that aaron falk is in . ever . no way , no worries , mate . i am so late to the dry party that i almost didn ' t read it . finally ,
the only way to leave a review is to first make a booking . that ' s how we know our reviews come from real guests who have stayed at the property .
the river ' s tent is broken : the last fingers of leaf clutch and sink into the wet bank . the wind crosses the brown land , unheard . the nymphs are departed .
from an optimistic future , they ' ve fallen permanently on hard times - the river has dried up .
there ' s something super creepy about these lines , as though some violent person is standing right behind the speaker , ready to do something awful , and enjoy it . yikes .
i know it ' s early days , but i have a feeling this will be a top read of 2017 for me ; i ' ll go as far as saying if i had read it last year it would have been in my top 2016 reads . the writing is excellent , the pacing was quick with fully fleshed characters , and the ending was satisfying without being too cut and dry . half the fun of this story is , even if you guess at the who , you probably won ' t guess the why until it ' s revealed . this was a perfect example of a book being extremely dark and terrif
the shot of the thames at night and the river logo over the top gives no hint of the emotional wrench that is to come . i like the way it’s branded like a traditional cop show but then pulls the rug out from under you quite suddenly .
, is this a springsteen written song ? the writers as mentioned above the song are listed as
the river
as written by martin terefe and katie victoria tunstall .
dry made an immediate impact : island signed the group , nme ranked dry among its all - time 100 albums ( in 1993 ! ) , and kurt cobain , who didn’t live long enough to hear to bring you my love , famously listed it as one of his faves . so put it this way : had pj harvey immediately quit music after making this disc , she wouldn’t be a household name , but you’d still see knowing record store clerks today pointing towards dry and letting you know it’s real good shit .
then you hear about the bones that are scattered in a
low , dry garret
somewhere , a garret being a little attic .
begin by saying : ' a time i messed up at work was when i gave a customer a quote that was considerably lower than it should have been . i realised my mistake and immediately told my boss about the situation . i knew the business was going to take a hit financially , so i offered to work longer hours until i had worked off the debt from my mistake . '
spoiler alert : this recap contains details about the first episode of river , showing on bbc1 on tuesday nights .
tongad answered for him . “they’re happy with mining , ” he said . “groundwater depletes : no problem . river is dying : no problem . ”
once we know that stevie is dead ( but not a ghost , river is clear about that ) river’s internal world is unleashed on to the screen . his other imaginary friends , temporary residents in that rather crowded mind palace , start to pop up . when this week’s murder victim ( who turned out not to have been murdered ) sits at his dining table , telling him she needs to pack for university , i assumed it was his daughter . and i like that it wasn’t all explained with exposition - heavy dialogue . it’s nice to be left to work things out for yourself for once .
dry is great . dry is stronger than it has any right to be . in any reasonable universe , pj harvey should have had a mediocre or vaguely amateurish debut to her name . this we would point to as a product of inexperience and youth — something to humanize her , something along the lines of slint’s tweez or sleater - kinney’s self - titled .
picture where your career is going . maybe the job you ' re applying for is only a stepping stone to a bigger and better career . letting your potential employer know their business is nothing more than a pit stop on your career road trip could cost you the job .
i asked singh if he knew any other magistrates who were taking a similar approach . “i am not in contact with anybody who is doing this , ” he said .
cohen writes a lot with biblical symbolism at the forefront of his mind ,
she told light .
having gone to yeshiva and studied those stories , i know that all the biblical things are so unique lyrically , and he uses them so freely , but you don ' t have to know the stories to appreciate the song .

i read , much of the night , and go south in the winter .
“no one listened when we warned of the dangers of sand mining , ” my wife’s uncle shaji told me . with nearly all the sand removed from the river , the water table had dropped for miles around . when the monsoons came , the water whooshed away as quickly as the rain fell . the ordinary wells ran dry , so people drilled tube wells deep into the earth ; now some of those were running dry , too . the local rice paddies were long gone . along the river’s route , several major bridges faced collapse , because the loss of sand had weakened their foundations .
god . . . this song is so incredible . i can ' t believe no one else has posted on it . i can ' t even explain it . i have a thing for melancholy songs , but even if i didn ' t . . . jesus . it ' s just so real .
5 unflinchingly bright hot stars for ' the dry ' love having reading friends to share books with ! thanks mel . very glad to have unexpectedly stumbled across this one , considering i’d had a recent conversation with my local bookstore manager where she’d mentioned it’s their top seller . i always ask her what is the current best seller . best seller it is . a dazzling debut where again i am left wondering , what’s debut - ish about this work ? the entire read i was chopping and changing my mind about who kil
yeah , we know : eliot says ,
the river bears no [ litter ]
( emphasis added ) , but that ' s actually a sarcastic remark , meaning that all the litter is there now , but wasn ' t in spenser ' s time . that eliot ' s a confusing guy .
the director didn’t want a lugubrious or mournful score , though . he wanted something that at times would be very life - affirming , in fact , even though the film is full of trials and tribulations . but he was also interested in low tones , and indeed , hinchliffe took some his cues from the d - minor stylings of pearl jam’s “release” throughout .

the chemist said it would be all right , but i’ve never been the same .
he went on , “some people think it’s because i’m lazy or i’m just being contrary . but , no , i think it’s just—i’ve had my say . if i put out an album now , it would probably sell pretty well , because of who i am , but that’s no reason to do it . i’d want it to be good . and i’ve seen artists on that treadmill , putting out albums year after year , and the albums get worse and worse , less and less interesting , and it’s , like , maybe you should stop . ”
wow , this was really a great book ! i love it when books which are hyped actually live up to the praise they ' re getting , and jane harper ' s the dry definitely did . this book had everything—great writing , a terrifically evocative setting ( i felt hot every time i read it , and it wasn ' t just because i ' m running a fever , and i kept expecting everyone i came into contact with to speak with an australian accent ) , interesting character development , and lots of twists and turns . it ' s amazing to think tha
i asked him if he was afraid of losing it—if he was afraid of what people might say . “there’s no fear , ” he said . “i don’t feel like i have anything to prove anymore . what i do have at this point is a horror of celebrity . ” for one thing , he said , “it’s easier to write more personal stuff when you’re not as well known . ” once he became famous , people read too much into his work . “you can’t create something that’s an independent entity , made out of whole cloth . they know who you’re in a relationship with , what your past is . they tend to draw their own conclusions . your image becomes more powerful than the things you create . ” he went on , “i was seeing it begin to happen when i was doing ‘river of dreams . ’ i had gone through this celebrity craziness with christie , and the divorce . i felt like there was a proctoscope up my butt . everybody interrogating , analyzing—everything i wrote was fraught with meanings—and i said , wait a minute , i don’t want to rip myself open and let everyone see everything . it was no longer comfortable . enough ! i gave you enough ! ”
“i was trying to fuse , at times , the music with the sounds of the industry , of the furnace , ” he says . “i think the musical identity is very much from russell baze’s character , who is a blue collar working guy whose world is collapsing around him , economically , culturally and in terms of his family . the music is like the kind of blues around his life .
in my personal opinion , if this isn ' t a 5 - star read , then i don ' t know what is . impeccable . atmospheric and beautifully written , this is part police procedural , part thriller / murder mystery . it opens with a bang and will have you glued until the very last page . this is one of those books that you will find yourself trying to sneak in pages here and there , whenever you have a single spare moment , because you will want to know how it ends . absolutely unputdownable , i finished this in 24 hours and
a wonderful song that has probably moved me to tears more than any song that has ever been written . ' the river ' itself is fairly clearly a reference to sex and the desperation of the end of a relationship . but the song seems to be about the futility of life in general , and how we keep on doing things even when we know there is no point to them anymore .
i’m cutting together a feature documentary on the egyptian revolution using the video archive that has been collected and housed by the mosireen collective , of which i’m a member .
before long , at the sound check , he began substituting bawdy lyrics : “i just want someone . . . to have sex with” and “now you know i’m . . . full of shi - it . ” “i couldn’t have loved you any better , unless . . . you grew some bigger tits . ” cohen walked by , shaking his head .
i was both gutted and delighted when the big reveal happened . yes , it did take me that long to figure it out . not until i saw the gory mess that used to be the back of stevie’s head did i twig that river’s watery eyes and dogged pursuit of that young drug dealer were all for her – his recently murdered partner .

in my personal opinion , if this isn ' t a 5 - star read , then i don ' t know what is . impeccable . atmospheric and beautifully written , this is part police procedural , part thriller / murder mystery . it opens with a bang and will have you glued until the very last page . this is one of those books that you will find yourself trying to sneak in pages here and there , whenever you have a single spare moment , because you will want to know how it ends . absolutely unputdownable , i finished this in 24 hours and i had limited reading time ( read : i stayed up way too late to finish this baby ! ) . i have zero complaints . zero . if i had to choose something negative to say , i will say that the subject matter was difficult to read at times , however the violence wasn ' t graphic or gratuitous , it was mostly implied . just for the record , my vote is for tom hiddleston for the role of falk in the film adaptation😉 absolutely recommend .

heap initially felt there was too much pressure in performing what was fast becoming such a famous and beloved song .
i had actually just sent an e - mail to the show saying i was sorry , but i wouldn ' t be able to give this the time it requires ,
heap recalls in holy or the broken .
i was in the shower and feeling a bit sad about it , and i started singing it and thought , ' why don ' t i just do it this way—do it a cappella , with no music or production , as if i were singing in the shower ? ' so i got out and i sent them another e - mail back .
i got one saying cj box recommended . i kinda feel annoyed that they use big name authors who probably never even read the book as a marketing …more
by the waters of leman i sat down and wept… sweet thames , run softly till i end my song , sweet thames , run softly , for i speak not loud or long . but at my back in a cold blast i hear the rattle of bones , and chuckle spread from ear to ear .
eliot is suggesting to us , though , that spenser ' s thames was very different than the one of eliot ' s time , which is polluted with
empty bottles , sandwich papers , / silk handkerchiefs , cardboard boxes , cigarette ends
( 177 - 178 ) .
i sigh with relief when i realize i ' ve read a 5 star book at last . i sigh with content . the setting was kind of interesting , and i have always believed that pound for pound , australian literature has been punching above its weight for quite some time . this book was so good . so freaking good . it doesn ' t need any words . not that i have a clue about its reputation . . . i picked it up on a whim and haven ' t looked back since . this is the writing that will entice millions across the globe . it ' s been centuries since the classical revolution , and the empirical golden age , yet the english language seems to be a leader in authors and books . it shows no sign of abating . i hope it will keep on churning books like the dry centuries after my death .

in the next verse , he ' s 19 and has to marry mary and get a job with the union . even though it seems like this would destroy his plans of the future , he is still only 19 , and so he and mary still have the hopes and dreams that everything will be better eventually . their setback is only temporary , so they can still go down to the river , they still have that reserve of dreams .
“the miners say , we dig a hole , and the next year the river comes and fills it again , ” tongad said . “so what’s the problem ? ”
i sigh with relief when i realize i ' ve read a 5 star book at last . i sigh with content . the setting was kind of interesting , and i have always believed that pound for pound , australian literature has been punching above its weight for quite some time . this book was so good . so freaking good . it doesn ' t need any words . not that i have a clue about its reputation . . . i picked it up on a whim and haven ' t looked back since . this is the writing that will entice millions across the globe . it ' s been centur
this one ' s a stunner ! kiewarra near melbourne australia is in the midst of a severe drought . the ground is hard and cracked , plants are dead and brown , and the river is bone dry . the residents are all under stress economically . when a farmer , luke hadler , appears to have killed his wife and child and then committed suicide , the powder keg is ready . aaron falk , a federal police officer in melbourne , receives a note that draws him back to the town he left twenty years ago .
luke lied . you lied . be at the funeral .
the fuse was laid years ago , and now it ' s lit . jane harper has got some writing talent . the dry hit all the marks for me . great characters , great story , nicely paced , held my attention , and very atmospheric . i can ' t find anything i didn ' t like about this book . did i mention it ' s a debut novel ?
it depends where the theatre is . if it was in new york , i’d show a night of palestinian revolutionary cinema and archival material . if it was in palestine , i’d show a night of third cinema films .
the time is now propitious , as he guesses , the meal is ended , she is bored and tired , endeavours to engage her in caresses which still are unreproved , if undesired .
for a dour , scandi - inspired detective drama , the world is actually quite colourful – and all the more believable for it . the ghost of stevie isn’t pale or other - worldly : she sits in his passenger seat sucking milkshake through a straw , ruminating on the current case as though she is still alive .

i think the river is just a metaphor for their hopes and dreams . in the beginning of the song , they ' re young , in high school , and have all these dreams of the future . they dive into them , meaning they just bask in their hope of what ' s to come .
finally we arrived at the floodplains of the yamuna . we stopped to survey the deep pits and fresh tracks where sand miners with earthmovers had been working under cover of night . similar pits dotted the land as far as the horizon , some large enough , i later learned , that children used them as cricket grounds . the mining has shifted the course of the yamuna , destroyed animal habitats , damaged crops and threatened the purity of local groundwater , and it may be causing buildings to sink . but it’s especially difficult to single out the effects of sand mining on the yamuna because the river is troubled in so many different ways . the truth is that with the exception of a couple of months during monsoon season , by the time the yamuna river reaches greater noida , there is no river at all .
the only clanging howler is river and ira’s visit to the young murder suspect in prison . they interview him without his lawyer present , which no police officer would ever do , not even a maverick one . this is the only time morgan falls down , i think . if the facts don’t fit a scene , she just gently pushes them aside to focus on the drama .
“before we begin , i’d like to thank ogg for making this wonderful fire , which , up until now , i had not thought him capable of . ”
and if you don’t give it him , there’s others will , i said .
if you don’t like it you can get on with it , i said .
i’ll admit i’ve spent five years waiting for my opinion of this record to expand from “this is a neat and fascinating concept album about war” to “this is a masterpiece . ” i’ll also admit my biggest gripe with let england shake is pretty simplistic : it’s the opener . the title track . it’s not very good ! i don’t like the sluggish “istanbul ( not constantinople ) ” callback , i don’t like the off - key autoharp strumming , i don’t like the way the singer interjects the name “bobby ! ” harvey has brought us astonishing album openers from “rid of me” to “the devil . ” here she sinks into a plodding half - groove and lets it ride for three minutes . the lyrics are great ( “head out to the fountain of death and splash about ? ” yes , please ) but i’m stuck on that autoharp .
i think it’s a crucial step towards challenging the monopoly that hollywood has over audiences across the world .
singh eventually realized that law enforcement alone would not be enough to stop the theft ; arresting the leaders of many smaller mafias may be an even greater challenge than ousting a big gangster like chadha . now his focus is on harm reduction . central to his argument is an exasperating fact : there really is enough sand in the rivers and offshore to meet india’s demand for concrete and plaster , at least according to many conservationists . in some cases sand mining can even be beneficial . an oversilted river — a river with too much sand — is also prone to flooding and changing course , and strategic sand mining can help keep it on track . the catastrophes occur only when specific , vulnerable stretches of river are overmined . there’d be no problem if the construction industry mined only from river sites with a carefully identified surplus of sand .

this speaker then takes a moment to say that he comes from humble people and expects nothing . by this point , you might have noticed that the word
nothing
is repeated a lot in this poem . which is fitting because that ' s exactly what eliot though modern life had going for it—nothing .
this book had everything—great writing , a terrifically evocative setting ( i felt hot every time i read it , and it wasn ' t just because i ' m running a fever , and i kept expecting everyone i came into contact with to speak with an australian accent ) , interesting character development , and lots of twists and turns . it ' s amazing to think that this is harper ' s debut novel , because it felt like a book written by a virtuoso .
basically , joel had to start over . the mandate was clear : go forth and earn . he made two more albums , “storm front” ( 1989 ) and “river of dreams” ( 1993 ) , each a big commercial , if not quite critical , success : about eight million copies sold apiece . and then the river went dry . he hasn’t made another pop album since . ( in 2001 , there was an album of his classical piano pieces , performed by a professional pianist . ) his marriage to brinkley was falling apart . ( “i’ve always adored him , ” she told me . “i just couldn’t live with him anymore . ” )
i got one saying cj box recommended . i kinda feel annoyed that they use big name authors who probably never even read the book as a marketing strategy , makes me now want to buy it , i ' ll borrow it from the library maybe . ( less )
cooper reiterates the point , noting , “i don’t want anyone to ever say , ‘look how clever he is with the way he moves the camera , ’ or , ‘look at those very arch , histrionic performances , ’ or , ‘look at those outlandish costumes . ’ i want all of that stuff to recede into the background and i knew dickon would be able to lend a very cinematic and atmospheric score and do exactly what i wanted . he delivered , i think , an astounding score , one that does not call attention to itself but is very rich and vibrant . ”
the line about

there ' s a layer of meaning to this song that springsteen may or may not have been intended - but it ' s there . musiclover - mrm points out that the river is figuratively meant as
belief in how good things would always be
. the river offers a baptismal soul - cleansing . when the narrator was young it never mattered how bad things in life got because he ( and mary ) could go down to the river and somehow that would make everything alright - at least for a little while .
then he takes a sharp left straight into christianity , with an allusion to augustine ' s confessions .

it sounds like a great film , i’ll wait to see the reaction it has at the afi fest .

la la to carthage then i came
but she didn’t quit . i guess you could critique dry by saying it’s not as good as rid of me , but what kind of pointless criticism is that ? of course it’s not as good as rid of me . nothing is as good as rid of me . your first - born child isn’t as good as rid of me . sure , dry ’s production is a little tinny and doesn’t pack the full - body wallop of , say , “ecstasy , ” but there wasn’t time ! harvey didn’t have island covering the bill or albini manning the boards . she needed to get these songs out of her system , out into the world . and honestly , what a confident and fully formed first batch of songs this is .
this will probably be the most controversial ranking on this list . is this desire ? isn’t a particularly well - loved album , even among some pj harvey fans . i adore it . i think it’s her forgotten masterpiece . let me explain .
vedder penned a number of songs “that were just so beautiful and haunting , ” cooper says . “i would place them into the film and they were nearly perfect . in fact , i would say they were too perfect because as i would toy with them in the narrative and try to place them in certain areas that i thought would be most effective , i found myself being drawn out of the story into how beautifully crafted and how potent they were . ”
if i’d known , i would have done things differently . it was too late for that now . some things had to be lived with . the dry is such a heavy and ‘adult’ book : not in the sexual content or violence , although there were several stomach - churning descriptions , no , it’s such an ‘adult book’ in the sense of maturity , with hardships , human disconnections and buried secrets . the book simply felt genuine and full of emotions . do books have emotions anyhow ? well , it certainly made me full of emotions , i can tell you that . the story is better than i expected yet still , probably about 4 stars for me but the writing is exceptional : very atmospheric , it was more like ‘watching’ movie than just ‘reading’ a book for me . things were so vivid , too vivid to be contained only to the pages , i suspect .
so she made dry look like kid stuff . shock is one potential medical reaction to harvey’s harrowing lyrical terrain , which channels lovesick abandonment and alienation into violent and occasionally homicidal imagery . she’ll tie you down ( “rid of me” ) and cut off your legs ( “legs” ) and stick needles in her voodoo doll ( “yuri - g” ) and stroke your manhood until it bleeds ( “rub ‘til it bleeds” ) and douse hair with gasoline and set it alight ( “man - size” ) . and then she’ll add insult to injury and tell you you leave her dry , as on the delectable , slide - assisted “dry . ”
one way to answer the question is : ' i would describe the taste of an apple as refreshing because of how juicy they are . while a person may not be able to taste , they can probably feel the juice as they bite into the apple . when i think about apples , i imagine the fresh , juicy sensation that comes with taking my first bite .

as i came to know manimala , it became clear that the river had mostly been mined by the villagers themselves . you could see the evidence in many of the new houses nestled among the rubber trees and coconut palms . some were made of concrete , large and sprawling and brightly colored : pink , neon yellow , fire - engine red . a few had heaps of sand out front to be used for concrete or plastering for new wings and other renovations .

* 4 . 5 stars ! * what a book . i had to sleep on this one . not like , right on top of it , it was just a little to the left of my pillow , but i needed time to process . it’s not as though this read was so incredibly intoxicating that i couldn ' t wrap my head around it—quite the contrary , actually . the pace is steady and slow , verging on dull at times but never quite crossing that line . the plot itself is packed with twists , but they felt gentle and weren ' t especially shocking . so what did it for me ? the a

i prefer to take the lyrics literally rather than treat
the river
as a metaphor for anything . the song is thus pretty self - explanatory . the narrator grew up in a very conservative rural village . his teenage romance with mary resulted in her getting pregnant , so they had to have a shotgun wedding , otherwise they would have ended up as outcasts . some years later , they are now returning to the river - the place where they used to play and romance together during the best days of their lives .
this is why the symbolism towards the end of the song is so damn heartbreaking . in the end even the river isn ' t there anymore . it dried up . now there ' s no escape , no source of redeption for the narrator . you grow up and there ' s nothing that can make things right anymore . springsteen is a pretty switched - on writer - and i think he ' s hip to the multiple layers of meaning that can be contained in a rich powerful song like this .
because , i think , the way you wrote it , it wouldn ' t have much sense .
