the moment that “saved” came to me was after my move from new york to el paso . i was in a relationship at the time , and everything was super rocky because of the lack of distance . we didn’t see each other face to face anymore . we soon decided , after i moved , that the relationship wasn’t as necessary as it was . she had to find herself . i had to find myself . but at the same time , we always let each other know , “i’ll keep your number saved in case you need me . in case you need someone to talk to . if you want a conversation . if you fall for me again . ” it was a sense of comfort , just by having her number . i still have her number to this day .
on september 26 , 1983 , soviet military officer stanislav petrov received a message that five nuclear missiles had been launched by the united states and were heading to moscow . he didn’t launch a retaliatory strike , believing correctly that it was a false alarm . and with that , he saved the world from nuclear war . but now reports have surfaced that petrov died this past may . he was 77 years old .
the correlation between the cell phone usage in “location” and “saved
—it’s just the fact that everyone , including myself , we’re so wrapped up in this digital era . our phone is kind of our safety net . when your phone dies , you’re kind of fucked . you don’t know what to do for 10 to 20 minutes until that phone is up . we have certain attachments in life . whether it’s your phone . whether it’s your own personal music . or whether it’s your relationship . there is a lot of attachments that we keep , and we’ll probably keep for the rest of our lives , that we can’t get over . and i feel like talking about the cellphone usage in “saved” was kind of hinting the fact of this attachment . literally the only thing that i have . i deleted all the pictures . i threw away all your shit , but i still have your phone , so somehow i’m still attached to you .
lt . col . stanislav petrov was 44 years old and working at a missile detection bunker south of moscow on september 26 , 1983 . his computer told him that five nuclear missiles were on their way , and given their flight time , he had just 20 minutes to launch a counter attack . but petrov told his superior officers that it was a false alarm . he had absolutely no real evidence that this was true , but it probably saved millions of lives .
time and time again , the songs saved the day , and watching the ensemble , sing , dance and play their instruments was amazing . the musical’s standout numbers are found in act two when the ensemble comes together for an energetic , “when your mind’s made up” and a quiet , haunting version of “gold , ” sung a capella . if you were a fan of once , the film , the stage version is worth checking out—even if it’s just to hear the music of hansard and irglová played live .

as city her and city him , lynne wintersteller and glenn mure add their good voices throughout , most memorably to ' ' greed , ' ' a tribute to the darker aspect of christmas . they are less fortunate in having to labor through comedy sequences that never get off the ground and should have been kept off the stage . as the jail - seeking bum , soapy , bert michaels is the main victim of these pernicious routines ; he does a neat tap dance and his vaudeville moves are smooth , but the material is beyond saving . soapy himself is saved , however , by the musical numbers , especially one with jim , called ' ' bum luck , ' ' which features some witty word play to the accompaniment of a scrub brush on a garbage can .
an early contender for the worst film of the year , the painfully unfunny saved ! is every bit as reductive as your average high school underdog fantasy , except it also has a bigger fish to fry than mandy moore’s psycho - bitch : christianity . when mary ( jena malone ) finds out her boyfriend may be gay , she looks to jesus and sleeps with dean ( chad faust ) in order to cure him . naturally , mary’s act of mercy fails , and when her boyfriend’s parents find the leather - daddy porn under his bed , the boy is dutifully shipped to the mercy house for conversion therapy . pregnant and alone , mary befriends the school’s outcasts , wheelchair - bound roland ( macaulay culkin ) and jewish goth - freakazoid cassandra ( eva amurri ) , and together they fight the evil forces of moore’s christian monster , the racist hilary faye ( a reference to the evangelical tammy faye perhaps ? ) .
mary is a senior at american eagle christian high school in suburban baltimore . she considers herself born again , despite the fact that her rebirth was at age three . her best girlfriends are two classmates that comprise the christian jewels band with her . hilary faye is the alpha christian , who outwardly is perfect , especially in her connection to god . and veronica is ethnic vietnamese who was adopted and thus saved by a black christian couple . a third is tia , who is generally an outsider in her geek status but who aspires to be in this christian clique . also within their social circle solely out of necessity is hilary faye ' s older brother roland , who has been in a wheelchair since age nine after falling out of a tree , and who , out of family obligation hilary faye transports everywhere including to / from school . beyond that transportation , roland and hilary faye generally have disdain for each other . one of hilary faye ' s god driven missions for the year is to save cassandra , a jewish . . .
good girl
mary and her domineering best friend , hilary faye , are starting their senior year at the top of the social food chain at american eagle christian high school - - that is until mary ' s boyfriend tells her that he thinks he may be gay . when jesus appears to her in a vision , she heeds his message to
do everything she can to help her boyfriend
and , to her horror , she ends up pregnant . suddenly , mary begins to question everything she ' s believed in , and hilary faye and her devoted
disciples
soon turn against her . as an outcast , mary finds herself alone until she ' s befriended by the school ' s other pariahs : hilary faye ' s cynical wheelchair - bound brother , roland ; the principal ' s skater heart - throb son , patrick ; and the high school ' s lone jew , an exuberant rebel named cassandra . the group of outsiders band together to navigate the treacherous halls of high school and make it to graduation - - ultimately learning more about themselves , finding faith in unexpected places , and realizing what it truly means to be saved !

the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
movies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75 % or higher after a set amount of reviews ( 80 for wide - release movies , 40 for limited - release movies , 20 for tv shows ) , including 5 reviews from top critics .
it ' s a shame the closing moral about a more pragmatic , inclusive approach to spirituality is conveyed with such a heavy hand .
a minor work , yet it has a teasing lilt to it , and to make it at all took courage and originality .
after 90 minutes of this film ' s dozy condescension , you can only marvel at hollywood ' s near - total ignorance of a large chunk of its local audience .
brian dannelly ' s movie waltzes across the floor of high school comedies like a new kid out to prove he ' s in a class of his own .
liked this a lot years ago . not entirely sure it stands up to the 5 star rating i gave it , but at least a 4 still . enjoyed my 2017 rewatch and seeing some of the stars who aren ' t so popular anymore . still funny , maybe not quite as biting as it was 10 years ago .
i really liked this film ! it was funny and it also gave out a positive message . a must see !
a teen comedy with the typical cliques and baddies but also , many deep commentaries on love , sex , faith , humanity , and diversity . every character achieves redemption in his or her own way , but that ' s okay because it echoes what the movie believes true christianity should be . the
shit - fuck - goddamn
scene is excellent .
i thought it was hilarious in high school , gets less funny as an adult and you analyze da chuuch issues . solid satire .
what ? it wasn ' t like it was some sort of secret . the guy was like a one man gay pride parade .
i don’t think brian de palma ever anticipated the effects his brilliant , genuinely subversive but unquestionably compassionate adaptation of stephen king’s carrie would have on modern film culture . as oppressive as piper laurie’s fundamentalist she - devil may have been , she was nowhere near as horrible as the vicious teens that tortured and crucified sissy spacek’s titular character on her prom night . from grease to confessions of a teenage drama queen , carrie ‘s lousiest rip - offs fail to embrace and reinterpret the spiritual challenge of de palma’s film . instead , modern filmmakers seem to be attracted only to the story’s blood lust , using it to appeal to that juvenile sensation that gets off on seeing the social outcast embarrass the abusive bully before a crowd of their peers .

the film successfully argues that it’s through sensory details that we access the deeper aspects of our lives .
johannes roberts’s 47 meters down can’t help alternating between the genuinely terrifying and the just plain dumb .
with this gorgeous and obsessive four - disc set , donnie darko fanatics may have found their ultimate bible , at last .
the best arguement i ' ve heard that the film should ' ve ditched its
restoration of faith
agenda and just gone for a full - blown satirical takedown of christianity . and yes , i do mean unintentionally .
if your reference to grease was the patty simcox character , i think it ' s important to note ( and i side with eric on his review ) that the last frames of her onscreen were not of her getting her just desserts . and if it was rizzo - well , bully or not , people liked her ( so did i ; for me , stockard channing was the only thing close to being a saving grace on that poultrygeist of a film ) . i ' m actually surprised , given the clique nature of this film and the in - clique actually naming themselves , that you didn ' t bring up something like jawbreaker or the in - crowd ( even in passing ) . since both of them staged their bitch - went - down finales with carrie in mind . unlike hilary faye in this movie , who isn ' t actually destroyed at the end ( so much for your monster theory ) . she just has to get herself together . it ' s not unfair of the movie to treat her like this , none of the characters get everything handed to them . almost everyone was a bit scrabbled .

the acoustic vibe of the song made it very personal . the first time i recorded it , it was with a friend of mine . he had a guitar , he was playing behind me , and i sung one take over the whole song . to me , that felt like my own voice memo . so every time i would listen to the song , i would try to listen to get over whatever problems or demons i was fighting inside , involving the situation . so recreating and still keeping that vibe , kind of reminded me of the position i was in a year ago . the main thing i did want to change was the vibe of the original song behind the guitar .

stanislav petrov , a former soviet military officer , poses at his home in 2015 near moscow . in 1983 , he was on duty when the soviet union ' s early warning satellite indicated the u . s . had fired nuclear weapons at his country . he suspected , correctly , it was a false alarm and did not immediately send the report up the chain of command . petrov died at age 77 .
stanislav petrov was a lieutenant colonel in the soviet union ' s air defense forces , and his job was to monitor his country ' s satellite system , which was looking for any possible nuclear weapons launches by the united states .
he was on the overnight shift in the early morning hours of sept . 26 , 1983 , when the computers sounded an alarm , indicating that the u . s . had launched five nuclear - armed intercontinental ballistic missiles .
the siren howled , but i just sat there for a few seconds , staring at the big , back - lit , red screen with the word ' launch ' on it ,
petrov told the bbc in 2013 .
it was already a moment of extreme tension in the cold war . on sept . 1 of that year , the soviet union shot down a korean air lines plane that had drifted into soviet airspace , killing all 269 people on board , including a u . s . congressman . the episode led the u . s . and the soviets to exchange warnings and threats .
petrov had to act quickly . u . s . missiles could reach the soviet union in just over 20 minutes .
there was no rule about how long we were allowed to think before we reported a strike ,
petrov told the bbc .
but we knew that every second of procrastination took away valuable time , that the soviet union ' s military and political leadership needed to be informed without delay . all i had to do was to reach for the phone ; to raise the direct line to our top commanders — but i couldn ' t move . i felt like i was sitting on a hot frying pan .
he had been trained to expect an all - out nuclear assault from the u . s . , so it seemed strange that the satellite system was detecting only a few missiles being launched . and the system itself was fairly new . he didn ' t completely trust it .
[ petrov ] just had this feeling in his gut that it wasn ' t right . it was five missiles . it didn ' t seem like enough . so even though by all of the protocols he had been trained to follow , he should absolutely have reported that up the chain of command and , you know , we should be talking about the great nuclear war of 1983 if any of us survived .
after several nerve - jangling minutes , petrov didn ' t send the computer warning to his superiors . he checked to see if there had been a computer malfunction .
twenty - three minutes later i realized that nothing had happened ,
he said in 2013 .
if there had been a real strike , then i would already know about it . it was such a relief .
that episode and the 1962 cuban missile crisis are considered to be the closest the u . s . and the soviets came to a nuclear exchange . and while the cuban missile crisis has been widely examined , petrov ' s actions have received much less attention .
petrov died on may 19 , at age 77 , in a suburb outside moscow , according to news reports monday . he had long since retired and was living alone . news of his death apparently went unrecognized at the time .
karl schumacher , a german political activist who had highlighted petrov ' s actions in recent years , tried to contact petrov earlier this month to wish him a happy birthday . instead , he reached petrov ' s son , dmitri , who said his father had died in may .
petrov said he received an official reprimand for making mistakes in his logbook on sept . 26 , 1983 .
that was my job ,
he said .
but they were lucky it was me on shift that night .

in this august 27 , 2015 photo former soviet missile defense forces officer stanislav petrov poses for a photo at his home in fryazino , moscow region , russia . ( ap photo / pavel golovkin )
“the siren howled , but i just sat there for a few seconds , staring at the big , back - lit , red screen with the word ‘launch’ on it , ” petrov told the bbc’s russian service back in 2013 .
“i had all the data [ to suggest there was an ongoing missile attack ] . if i had sent my report up the chain of command , nobody would have said a word against it , ” petrov said .
“there was no rule about how long we were allowed to think before we reported a strike . but we knew that every second of procrastination took away valuable time ; that the soviet union’s military and political leadership needed to be informed without delay , ” he told the bbc .
“all i had to do was to reach for the phone ; to raise the direct line to our top commanders—but i couldn’t move . i felt like i was sitting on a hot frying pan , ” petrov said .
perhaps importantly , petrov noted that he was the only officer around that day who had received a civilian education . everyone else were professional soldiers and he believed that they would have simply reported the attack at face value . the men around him were “taught to give and obey orders . ” luckily , petrov disobeyed what simply didn’t feel right to him .
petrov reasoned that if the americans were going to launch a first strike they’d send more than five missiles , despite the fact that they could still do an enormous amount of damage . he also believed that since the alert system was relatively new it seemed likely that it could be sending a false alarm .
if petrov had been wrong , he would have compromised the soviet union’s ability to retaliate against a nuclear strike . but if he was right , world war iii would be averted . thankfully , he was right . and sadly , his wasn’t the first , nor the last , close call that the world has seen . the cold war saw far too many false alarms triggered by everything from a computer simulation in 1979 to a nato military exercise in 1983 , just two months after petrov’s false alarm . and then there was the cuban missile crisis of 1962 and the captain who defied his direct orders .
it’s truly amazing that the world survived the cold war . and it’ll be even more amazing if we survive the current missile crisis that’s heating up on the korean peninsula .
rest in peace , stanislav petrov . you may not have gotten the recognition you deserved in life , but hopefully you’ll be remembered in death . those of us living in the 21st century owe you a tremendous debt . and the best most of us can do is hope that the nuclear powers of the world learn something from your heroism .

he former soviet military officer credited with saving the world from nuclear destruction has died at the age of 77 . stanislav petrov , a lieutenant colonel in the soviet air defence forces , was the officer on duty at the soviet union’s early warning centre when
malfunctioning computers signaled the united states had launched missiles at the country in september 1983 .
karl schumacher , a german film maker who first publicised the story in the west , said in a statement that he learnt of petrov’s death when he tried to get in touch to wish him happy birthday .
petrov’s son , dmitry petrov , told mr schumacher that his father had died on may 19 .
on the night of september 26 , 1983 , he was on duty at the soviet union’s early warning centre near moscow when computers warned that the united states had fired five nuclear missiles at the country .
the machine indicated the information was of the highest certainty ,
he later recalled .
on the wall big red letters burnt the word : start . that meant the missile had definitely been fired .
e had just minutes to decide whether to assess the attack as genuine and inform the kremlin that the united states was starting world war three - or tell his commanders that the soviet union ' s early warning system was faulty .
uessing that a genuine american attack would have involved hundreds of missiles , he put the alarm down to a computer malfunction .
lt col petrov was vindicated when an internal investigation following the incident concluded that soviet satellites had mistaken sunlight reflected on clouds for rocket engines .
the soviet government’s policy in the event of a us nuclear attack was to launch an immediate and all - out retaliatory strike in accordance with the principle of mutually assured destruction .
although petrov was feted by his colleagues and initially praised by superiors for his actions , he was not rewarded .
he later complained that he was scolded by superiors for failing to complete a routine paperwork during the incident and had been scapegoated by generals embarrassed by the failure of the early warning system .
he took early retirement from the armed forces the following year and retired outside moscow .
the incident was only made public in 1998 with the publication of the memoirs of general yury vontintsev , mr petrov’s superior at the time .

stanislav petrov died in may , but the news only broke after a friend tried calling on this birthday .
the man credited with saving the world from nuclear disaster during the cold war has died in moscow aged 77 .
stanislav petrov was a soviet officer on duty the night of september 26 , 1983 , when an early warning system flashed a warning that the us had launched missiles against the ussr .
petrov , from a secret command centre outside moscow , could have immediately instigated a retaliation with a phone call .
instead , the then 44 - year - old lieutenant colonel trusted his gut , which told him it was it was merely a system malfunction . and after five nerve - wracking minutes , he made a decision that may have prevented a nuclear war .
he turned out to be right . the false alarm was apparently triggered when the soviet satellite mistook the sun ' s reflection off the tops of clouds for a missile launch .
petrov died in may , but the news has only just come out after a german filmmaker tried to call him this month for his birthday .
external link : ' ' i knew perfectly well that nobody would be able to correct my mistake if i had made one ,
petrov told the bbc .
it was completely unexpected , as such things usually are . the siren sounded very loudly and i just sat there for a few seconds , staring at the screen with the word
launch
displayed in bold , red letters ,
petrov told the bbc in 2013 .
i would not trust the computer . i picked up the telephone handset , spoke to my superiors and reported that the alarm was false .
the russian state - funded broadcaster rt also spoke with petrov in 2010 , when he acknowledged the gravity of the situation .
we ' ve never been as close to a nuclear war , neither before nor later on . it was the very climax ,
he said .
paul dibb an emeritus professor of strategic studies at the australian national university , has been reflecting on petrov ' s moment in the hot seat .
during the cold war , professor dibb was the top soviet analyst in canberra and visited moscow as a declared intelligence officer in 1976 .
in reality , the white house has no single button that would unleash a nuclear attack in reality , given the us nuclear arsenal is spread around the world .
the important thing is to acknowledge what he did , and secondly , to remember — as few people in australia do — that 1983 was in fact the most dangerous year in the cold war ,
he said .
professor dibb said although there are parallels with north korea today , the threat of nuclear war in the 1980s was far greater .
it ' s not to underrate current threat north korea but , frankly there ' s a lot of difference between north korean nuclear capability and the soviet union with 12 , 000 strategic nuclear warheads — each side destroying a quarter of the population ,
he said .
although north korea has nothing like the former soviet capability , it looks as though it ' s developing sufficiently , if you like , to tear an arm off the united states .
the difference , despite what said we have said about 1983 , as the cold war progressed , the fact is the soviets and the americans were talking to each other .
the worry about the united states and particularly north korea is north korea is a hermit kingdom . they talk to nobody .

despite the judicial nature of the show , the point of night court was to make people laugh . “the show may not be in any way intellectual and we don’t make any pretense of dealing with issues that are impossible to address or solve in the sitcom format , ” said larroquette . “but if you just want to forget it all for a minute and laugh at pies in the face and pants around the ankles , that’s what we do very well . ”

well sh * * ! i wasn ' t expecting that at all . i thought after everything these two have been through they ' d finally get to be happy , but olivia isn ' t making it easy at all . . . i loved how this story started out with kaitlyn telling her story and getting you ready for what was about to happen . the writing style was amazing ; it was actually reading an article . but , you don’t even realize it until the end . all the stops at the end of the chapters get you ready to expect something , but nothing is ever ho
in 1983 , richard moll starred in an obscure b - movie called metalstorm : the destruction of jared - syn . for the film , he had to shave his head . around that time , moll got called in to audition for night court . weege said on e ! ’s tv tales : night court that the 6’8” bald actor wasn’t what he’d envisioned for the character , but he liked moll’s acting . “i remember saying to richard , ‘i want you to keep that hair balding . ’” moll responded with , “are you kidding ? i’ll shave my legs for the part . ”
spiner thinks the producers wanted him to come back for more episodes , but he ended up doing star trek instead . “rick berman , who produced star trek , was a big night court fan , ” spiner said . “so he knew who i was as soon as i walked in . ”
so when i went out to do the second unit to fix all those things , i first had everybody getting it into the ass but roger vetoed that . [ laughs . ] so then i had other ways of killing them all and we put it together as the picture . i told him to take my name off of it , but he wouldn’t do that . he had already made the titles again !
in the mid - 1980s , night court was part of nbc’s illustrious thursday comedy block , which also included cheers and , for a time , family ties . ratings lagged in the first couple of seasons , then it became a top 10 show … until nbc started shuffling it around to new nights .
nbc officially canceled the show during the ninth season , but warner bros . , who distributed the show , was in the process of trying to sell night court for first - run syndication . because there was a possibility that the show might come back on another network , the final episode was cobbled together .

at the old fenway park , up the ladder to head janitor at 6 flags , and finally , i made it to king custodian at chuck e cheese ' s . that ' s when russ and mikey came in ( not quite sure why . . . they didn ' t have any kids with them , that i saw at least ) , and figured i needed a break from the real world . . . and from this meeting , rock all night w / scorch . . . pfg was born ! ! ! !
sonny johnson , the lead actress , was cast in the middle of the night before shooting started the next day , but she turned in a stellar performance . a few weeks later , she died of a brain haemorrhage . she was beautiful and a great actress . she would have went on to greater stuff .
cg : that was the second rock musical that corman did . i wrote it in one day . what happened was that there was this 30 - minute teleplay entitled the little guy and it had won an emmy , so roger threw me that and said , “we’re shooting monday . ” this was a friday , you know !
i miss the books , where at least you could follow the logic behind every character ' s decision , whether wise or foolish , wicked or noble . i miss the books where things didn ' t just happen so that the plot would move forward . i miss the books where naval battles actually made sense . last night ' s we had euron miraculously finding yara ' s fleet in the dark , in the middle of the night , then picking out her exact ship and boarding it . he ' s also able to burn her entire fleet without her even attempting to run away , and without setting fire to his own ships . right .
it was a pretty bad script . i remember nothing about that film but roger skiing with the local ski club in deadwood , north dakota . all these teenagers who were playing nazis , you know ? [ laughs . ]
like , everyone knows that we all need health care , but not only is it insanely expensive for most people in america , there are so many self - employed people who really struggle when faced with injury and disability and illness . musicians are mostly self - employed , and for me the bottom line is that , as with health care , everyone also knows that we all need music . we need musicians ! we need them healthy - - we need to dance and we need to escape - - and none of that is possible when musicians themselves need support . and that’s really why all of us , not just musicians , need to sustain and grow sweet relief .
before he played lt . commander data on star trek : the next generation , brent spiner appeared on six episodes of night court , from 1985 to 1987 , as a yugoslavian hillbilly named bob wheeler . bob and his wife , june , constantly got into trouble , performing criminal acts like “ the illegal detonation of poultry . ”
cg : ten months of writing this script . at first , roger wanted a dramatic picture with all the social issues of the 1960s in it . so , of course , i wrote a telephone book ! i didn’t like it and roger didn’t like it , so he just asked me to do what i would have liked to do . i told him to make it a musical , because the music coming out in 1967 was fantastic . that old rock and roll shit that we hated had now become brilliant , and we could have made a great musical out of it .
must read series . i have never laughed so hard that i needed a tissue . there was also some sad tears but the majority of this book was hysterical . i was disappointed with both kaitlyn and derick though , 1 kaitlyn should have walked away from the start and not put up with all dericks shit and how god awful he treated her , 2 derrick changed so much from book 1 to this story in book 2 . he played the part of
the rock god - whore
a little to well and did not care who he stepped on to get the attentio
my interview with griffith was conducted in august 2004 via telephone . griffith was affable , engaging and always entertaining . we covered almost all of the roger corman pictures in which he was writer , his films as director and other assignments .
cg : yes . i had just read the silent world by jacques cousteau and found it to be new and exciting . so when that picture came along , i wrote all the underwater stuff and went to roger and told him i’d direct all the underwater parts for $ 100 . he said , “okay . ” if i had of just asked , he would have said , “no . ” i had to put it in a way that he would jump at .
oooo boy , this was a thrilling ride ! loved the band - all of the characters are stellar ! particularly loved ryan . and shanna makes an appearance in this one and is her ever loving crazy slutty self . but . . . . not loving kaitlyn . the issues she had with derek strayed into whinyville ! yes , i totally understood where she was coming from but good gosh , girl ! get a grip . and derek - needs to grow the hell up ! he is living life like a rock star ! ! and the sexy times - blew my kindle to bits ! ! hella hawt !
a short man has a prominent chip on his shoulder for all bigger people . when two murderers enter a bar and hold everyone at bay including a young fighter and a tough racketeer , the
little guy
has a decision to make .
as a twist should be central to the actual plot , not a nod buried at the end of the movie when half the theater has started to leave , this is barely a twist . a light tangle . hardly . not at all .

rock all night is barely a movie . it ' s only about an hour long and most of that comprises of entertaining but superfluous musical performances . the story feels kind of like an after school special about being yourself and gaining confidence with a tiny bit of inappropriate brutality and death sprinkled in . it ' s not surprising to hear it was based on an episode of a television program . it doesn ' t have much going for it , yet it is a goddamn delight . why ? because dick miller gets top billing . miller is so , so cool in this . young , handsome , full of fire . he spits out insults with such venom and even more charm . corman knows who the star is and allows the camera to bask in his glory . and , despite the film ' s skeletal plot , corman also does a good job building to a fun climax . this is one of the oddest but most endearing of the aip canon . highly recommended .
they would pedal west on vanowen or roscoe , where paved suburbs gave way to the rock - strewn hills above canoga park and chatsworth . this terrain was sacred to the chumash , whose lore told of munits , the vanished shaman that haunted its caves . they pointed their wheels downhill in a cloud of dust , hoping speed would turn their schwinn stingrays into dirt bikes .
after the performance , guests were invited to partake in a poolside celebration at hard rock hotel’s dish pool . guests enjoyed light bites and libations atop plush daybeds positioned beneath canopied palm trees , as well as special activations presented by lelo – the world’s leading pleasure brand – featuring a “touch and play” area , vip gift bags stuffed with the most desired pleasure objects and more .
cg : no , it was all phonus balonus . the guru was upset because his subject was jealous or afraid . nothing to do with my original idea . i saw it once in french with no subtitles , but i just hated that picture .
to get all the way to dragonstone from slaver ' s bay , dany would have to sail right past the dornish capital . it would be an easy stop along the way , and the perfect place to meet up with dany ' s allies .
the title of this roger corman flick may be a bit misleading since while there are some songs of popular performers of the day - such as the platters - being performed in it , it ' s mostly a story of various types in a bar facing a confrontation of their fears when dealing with a couple of criminals who wander in with the police on their way . dick miller is the lead who likes to make insulting statements but also seems to know what each person he meets is like to the point he shows no fear whatsoever to whoever he speaks to like one of the criminals he ' s dealing with - the one played by russell johnson , yes , the later star of
gilligan ' s island
as the professor . it was quite a surprise seeing him in this role , that ' s for sure ! if you ' re a frequent corman viewer , you probably recognized many of his regular supporting cast here . i really enjoyed this one so on that note , rock all night is highly recommended .
catelyn stark may be the best example of all of this , given her many mistakes early on in the story , from capturing tyrion to freeing his brother , jaime . the dominoes that fell because of her actions are too numerous to count in this post .
some of it came out better than expected , but to me the dialogue had ruined it . it had symbols all over the place – the bars that were going around the picket fence at the beginning . i had a rebellious kid on a tricycle taking off and his mother taking him by the collar and driving him home . but no , of course , barboura morris had to turn that into a social comment about how good he was and how he was a poor little thing . this stuff kept happening all through the picture .
despite the peculiarity of the theory and lack of major - league anesthetics , trepanation was by no means a limited phenomenon . from the neolithic era to the early 20th century , cultures all over the world used it as a way to cure patients of their ills . doctors eventually phased out the practice as less invasive procedures were developed . average joes , on the other hand , didn ' t all follow suit . trepanation patrons still exist . in fact , they even have their very own organizations , like the international trepanation advocacy group .

you were in bands when you were younger , then you got into remixing , and now you’re back playing live . how is it different being in a band this time ? well it’s a lot more professional . i played all kinds of stuff before : i played in metal bands , wedding bands , jazz trios , most of it just to make ends meet growing up . but now i have basically control over everything ’cause i’m writing all the music . so that’s a pretty big difference . when you get four people in a band , especially if it’s not a professional setting , there’s a lot of ego issues . and this is just kind of nice because everybody involved knows their place . we’re all just trying to have fun and play music . it certainly helps that we’re playing big shows now .

the girls in the office , including beverly gray and frances doel , sat around and made up the funniest thing i ever heard . i don’t remember a word of it now , but when we took it to roger he hit the sealing . again with the “this is a hard - hitting picture ! ” so that was it . when paul went to shoot it , i didn’t envy him ; all the gags were cut . but he did make some gags up on the spot , a hand grenade , you know – all that stuff .

cg : naked paradise was made at the same time i was working at columbia , which would have been 1957 - 58 . that was a bobby campbell story that i re - wrote . it became a structure for a few films afterwards including atlas [ corman , 1961 ] , beast from haunted cave [ monte hellman , 1960 ] and creature from the haunted sea [ corman , 1961 ] . they were all basically naked paradise – all variations on that same structure , almost scene - by - scene , but with different dialogue and different characters .
how did did you get put on to electronic music ? my first real introduction was definitely discovery , the daft punk record . in what was that , 2001 or something like that ? or even before that , the first daft punk record with “around the world” on it . that was the first electronic song i was really into . i grew up in portugal , so electronic music was kind of like the mainstream and rock music was really kind of an afterthought for most people . i was very much into the underground rock stuff , which probably in the u . s . was mainstream , but for me that was my rebellion . fast - forward many years , and we started getting offers to dj . we were almost forced to dive into it because it was almost a practical thing : i needed to learn about all this music that people were playing and i needed to also be able to play it , because you can’t really dj with rock music . so that’s really when i dove into it , and it inevitably began bleeding into my own music . especially after djing , i had an appreciation for electronic music that i didn’t have before ; i started djing at clubs more and that kind of setting is really the perfect outlet for it . it’s completely valid and can be very creative but it was so completely foreign to me because i was growing up writing beatles - type songs . it didn’t follow that format that i was used to so it forced me to really re - think everything and try new stuff .
spielberg got his start directing for tv at the age of 21 , helming episodes of such shows as night gallery and marcus welby , m . d . but the aspiring filmmaker was desperately searching for a property he could turn into a feature film . it was spielberg ' s secretary , nona tyson , who found matheson’s story in playboy and first sent it to her boss to potentially adapt into a movie .
it was made for $ 30 , 000 and roger had to sell his jaguar . i think i got $ 100 bucks for that . he picked up a girl in berlin and she was the script girl , wardrobe and props – all kinds of things . i became associate producer because i was there . he really made this with his own money . i found out we couldn’t shoot in the locations we picked , so we had to bribe guards at the gates to let us into all these antiquities . it was hilarious . but it did make its money back .
following the show , the cast and creative team returned to the stage for an encore performance of fatman scoop’s “be faithful , ” joined by the show’s co - director and producer channing tatum and wife , jenna dewan - tatum . tatum then shared a few words with the packed venue , thanking the crowd and friends and family in attendance for joining the cast and creative team for their highly - anticipated opening night performance .
peter lorre’s character drinking his mint julep through a cigar , the gold bug playing the harpsichord and inviting people in classic postures or the famous statue like the one - armed bandit that they had to be in when the bug bit them and turned them into gold – all so much fun .
and before you show up in the comments talking about how there ' s magical white walkers and dragons and this is a fantasy so i should stop worrying about all this , no . no that ' s just wrong . what made the books and the early seasons of this show so great was the fact that there ' s an internal logic , an internal consistency that holds the world together . human conflicts born out of human actions . plausible characters making the best choices they could even when they were wrong . all the fantasy trappings add flavor without disrupting the realism of the story itself .
