cloistered nun : runa 's confession ( 修道女ルナの告白 shudojo runa no kokuhaku ) ( 1976 ) is a japanese pink film in the nunsploitation genre starring pop singer luna takamura , directed by masaru konuma and produced by nikkatsu .

allrovi reports of the film , " as konuma is not one to pull political punches for the sake of lightweight erotic fluff , the film is far more pointed than the numerous european ' sexy nun ' films it ostensibly resembles . "

jasper sharp calls it " a typically profane offering in the most peculiar of nikkatsu 's pornographic subgenres " .

this is the only the second film i have seen by masaru konuma , so i have no idea of whether or not it is one of his best . it was certainly better than xx : utsukushiki karyuudo ( beautiful hunter ) . one goes into a nunsploitation film expecting a good bit of nun - sex , and there was some in the beginning , including a rape by the rector , and one nun on nun incident , but that wasn ' t what this movie was all about . it was a story of revenge , and double crossing - maybe even triple - crossing . runa was out to get back at her fiancé and sister for an act of betrayal . she managed an elaborate con to do it . in the middle , sis is doing a bit of conning of her own that results in a huge payback by the men she duped . those doing the conning with runa get conned in the end in a delicious twist that has you rooting . as to the sex , i can imagine there is another film out there called
cloistered nun : runa ' s obsession ,
as the sex was just short of xxx . it just seems that judicious editing was made to a porn film . nun - sex , lesbian sex , rape , and gang bangs , and an unusual form of japanese calligraphy : this film has it all , but it had a great story , too .

this is somewhat off - topic , but recently i ' ve started checking periodically on titles in my dvd queue for which

if anyone ( including david ) needs convincing why this site ' s expiration posts are invaluable , as of right now new on netflix usa hasn ' t listed a single movie that ' s expiring on 8 / 31 . they only have some tv shows and cartoons .
yeah i don ' t mean to be busting derek ' s chops ( maft ' s name via twitter ) . my point is more to show what a valuable - - and unique - - service david provides with these posts , which he was thinking of discontinuing !

director konuma and script - writer tanaka both agreed that dan ' s novel was unfilmable , and made significant changes to the story . dan and naomi tani both objected to this , and there was considerable friction between the two sides over the story during the writing of the script . konuma later commented about naomi tani ' s role in this matter ,
while we worked on the final script , she was very argumentative . however , i was impressed with her change in attitude after the company ' s final decision . during the shoot , she never gave us a problem . instead - she was committed . i admire her professionalism .

@ nica i always search every title listed here from the dvd side to confirm the dates , and haven ' t noticed any steaming - only titles that weren ' t searchable . for example ,
wreckers
listed above by kristina is streaming - only , and it comes up in search . i certainly hope that doesn ' t change , as that ' s the only way to see expiration dates more than a week in advance . as for the spelling sensitivity , i think it ' s always been like that .
i neglected to post the year for the tyler perry movie , it ' s 2013 . also for the first time i checked the

nikkatsu agreed to tani ' s conditions , but there remained the problem of convincing oniroku dan to allow the studio to film his novel . after lengthy , inconclusive negotiations , dan invited director masaru konuma and scriptwriter yozo tanaka to his home for
further discussions .
in the middle of the meeting , the electrical power suddenly went out , and dan called for someone to light a candle . at this point , naomi tani , in traditional japanese kimono , appeared in the room with a lantern . konuma later said ,
this was dan ' s theatrical sense - his way of saying yes .
for example , creating , trading , distributing ( e . g . making available on one ' s web page ) anything containing

well directed and beautifully photographed , the slightly bumpy editing is the only fault i can find in this super little gem of a ' pink ' . this is not my first japanese nunsploitation and although this is probably my favourite , the nation certainly has a way with them . they certainly appreciate the potency of the religious paraphernalia , sex in front of the alter , crucifix bouncing on bared chest and such like but also seem to have no hang ups at all with regard to what is depicted . the rape of runa in ripped habit by her american speaking rector seems highly symbolic . i found the bright and bold sex and violence fun all the way through , it has real style and panache and the ending had me grinning from ear to ear , barely able to resist pressing ' play ' once more .

@ seth mishne every title that anyone here knows about has been posted . nobody ' s withholding information , i hope ! my fear is that derek at the other site will have a slew of additional 8 / 31 titles when he finally gets around to posting them , with only a couple of days to watch them .
kunisada follows akiko to her mother ' s grave , where he kidnaps her , and takes her to an isolated cabin in the countryside . here he subjects her to numerous degrading sexual tortures and punishments for days on end . when kunisada leaves the cabin to get akiko ' s wedding dress from her home , akiko escapes . wearing only a sheet and the ropes she has been tied in , she meets two hunters who , instead of helping her , rape her . kunisada finds her unconscious in the woods , cleans her and dresses her in her traditional japanese wedding clothes , complete with make - up , and suspends her from pulleys in the cabin and shaves her pubic hair .
in order to avoid japan ' s strict censorship laws , which limited deptictions of actual sex and pubic hair , these movies often relied on fetish elements which could skirt such restrictions . one such film , terrifying girls ' high school : lynch law classroom in 1973 , would be the first to depict an omorashi scenario to a theatrical audience .

i assume that kill bill 1 and 2 plus all star trek and mission impossible films will disappear from netflix . plus there are a lot of films from epix that rotate in and out that won ' t be rotating in again . reed hastings had talked about dumping epix back in 2012 but i think that epix had an option to renew annually up until this year . it ' s ludicrous to think that netflix ' s
original
films , which are art - house movies , movies that were passed over by major studios ( like the brad pitt movie ) , and adam sandler movies , are going to replace the epix catalog . the disney deal only covers theatrical releases after december 31 , 2015 ( starz gets the star wars sequel coming out in december ) so it ' s not likely that we will see recent disney movies until june 2016 at the very earliest . that leaves a nine - month gap to be covered by beasts of no nation , a crouching tiger sequel ( with none of the original cast ) , pee - wee herman and . . . adam sandler ? ! time to reconsider whether to keep my netflix subscription .
in 1998 , in an effort to introduce the japanese - film fans of america to one of the most popular japanese film genres ( i . e . , the pinku eiga ) , [ 17 ] phaedra cinema released wife to be sacrificed theatrically in the u . s . on a double - bill with noburu tanaka ' s a woman called sada abe ( 1975 ) . it premiered in san francisco in june , opening to very favorable reviews . [ 18 ] beginning october 30 , 1998 it played for a week at the monica 4 - plex theater in los angeles . [ 19 ] despite the film ' s age , it proved too controversial for some american critics . critics from the los angeles times left the theater in disgust within 20 minutes of the start of the film . [ 20 ] phaedra founder gregory hatanaka commented ,
most people just don ' t understand the historical value of the films . if people walk in expecting sex and zen , well , they ' re obviously not going to get it . these are dark films , and very serious . and yes , shock value is a part of their appeal .

to be fair meg , new on netflix is usually an excellent resource along with this site , many of the titles i post here come from there . but i find it totally mystifying that it still hasn ' t posted any 8 / 31 movie titles , this many hours after i posted that last comment . it ' s not like the proprietor is on vacation , he just posted this : 9 / 8 archangel ( 2005 )
@ seth relax . if you have the streaming service , you will see 7 days advance notice of expiring movies on your mylist page . if you have the dvd plus streaming service , you should see 14 days advance notice of expiring movies on your mylist page . tv shows are given 30 days advance notice of expiration . so , you should know now by looking at your mylist page what ' s leaving by thursday september 3 .
the film retains a high reputation among critics and fans of nikkatsu ' s roman porn , who generally consider it one of , if not the best of the series . the san francisco chronicle said of it ,
it’s like watching a sexual madhouse .
the chicago tribune called it ,
artistically potent .
[ 11 ] in their japanese cinema encyclopedia : the sex films , thomas and yuko weisser write ,
the early sado films of masaru konuma are well scripted , stylishly directed , and singularly harrowing . this one is easily his best .
[ 12 ] ray ranaletta called wife to be sacrificed ,
a groundbreaking film that rises above a simple geek - show mentality and presents its sadomasochistic theme in uncompromising terms—forcing the viewer to deal with the film on a rational , objective level , while at the same time reveling in its sheer , sexual outrageousness .

meg said ( sorry i don ' t like to actually register for anything ) . . . but here i am sort of anonymously , because i totally agree with will g ' s 8 . 25 , 11 : 48 am , comment . there is nothing out there with current info on expiration dates . this was the only website i found that had actual , real , helpful information . i came across a lot of movies i had never heard of , would never have come across , and was able to watch , if not for this website and the comments left by people sharing what expiration dates they found . it is such a simple thing for netflix to do , let it ' s customer have as much info as they can to make best decisions . unfortunately , what i show on my list to expire is already included in the above comments , so i have nothing new to add .
by now akiko has come to accept kunisada ' s behavior , and apparently enjoy it . she pushes him even further with commands to ,

after reading netflix ' s epix dumping announcement today , i decided to go on epix ' s website to see what movies would go missing from my queue . turns out that almost every one of those tv movies that went missing last month from my list were epix movies which goes to show they knew about this at least one month ago or more and didn ' t tell anyone until today . i guess they thought they ' d remove some of the lesser watched movies first thinking no one would notice and then when the big ones were going to expire , they ' d release a notice to let everyone know what was going on . wish they could have done this a couple of months ago and i could have watched those tv movies i never got to see . of course they ' ll show up on hulu by october so maybe i ' ll get lucky and a couple of them might be free to see since they do have a few tv movies on there you can watch without a subscription . if not , most of them are on amazon prime , so i ' ll just ask my friend if i can watch them on his account .
last day 9 / 10 : we have a pope 2011 nr 101 mins ( netflix blurb : the pope has died , and the college of cardinals has chosen his successor . but what happens if the newly elected pontiff doesn ' t want the job ? this comedy follows the vatican ' s travails as it strives to make one cardinal accept his destiny . cast : michel piccoli , jerzy stuhr , renato scarpa , franco graziosi , camillo milli , roberto nobile , ulrich von dobschütz , gianluca gobbi , nanni moretti , margherita buy . ) in italian . average rating : 3 . 2305 .
it would have been nice to keep the epix content until it had more original movies available . the disney deal only covers theatrical releases after december 31 of this year . that means it will probably be at least six months before
new
disney content hits netflix . the epix catalogue contains not only recent movies but also movies such as flashdance and dirty dancing . it will be interesting to see how many movies expire on netflix on october 1 . epix content will remain on amazon prime , and it is likely that hulu will start streaming epix content on october 1 . hulu ' s movie collection does not have ads .
@ will g . is the
spiral
that is expiring on september 14 the french detective series , of which only the fourth season is streaming ? and is
the slap
the australian series on which the u . s . series is based ? between the it crowd , spiral and the slap , a lot of binge - watching in the next couple of weeks . spiral is one of the great detective stories produced anywhere . i was ticked off when netflix removed seasons 1 to 3 , and i am unhappy about the removal of season 4 . ( all four seasons are on hulu , as is the slap and all seasons of the it crowd plus an additional episode that followed the fourth season by several years and is not streaming on netflix . ) . season 5 of spiral is going to stream on mhz choice in the fall ; hopefully netflix will get the streaming rights to that season . between the great july purge and the paucity of new titles released in july and august , i am trying to figure out where the $ 5 billion of commitments that . netflix has on its books is going . i expect a big portion is going to disney for its first non - theatrical rights to disney ( and pixel , marvel and lucasfilm ) . content that is shown theatrically after december 31 , 2015 , which excludes the new star wars film which is being released in december 2015 and therefore goes to starz . and even the new disney films probably won ' t hit netflix until the third quarter of 2016 . so where ' s the beef - - apart from the adam sandler
dogs
that netflix has agreed to release ? with netflix going into new markets , you would think there would be a lot of good foreign content ( films and tv ) that they could license for netflix u . s . at a relatively small cost as opposed to creating expensive french and brazilian rip - offs of house of cards .
kind of surprised i haven ' t seen these mentioned yet . . . apologies if i missed them . 9 / 1 ( last day to watch 8 / 31 ) taboo ( 2012 ) 9 / 3 ( last day to watch 9 / 2 ) dinosaurs ( 1994 ) also noticed today that a lot of stuff that is available on streaming only is not searchable on the dvd side of the website . i called netflix to complain about their search last week or so . i was getting a lot of unrelated titles ( the blacklist was listed second on about 90 % of my searches , even when i searched for lilo and stitch ! ) and the search was very particular - - one misspelling and it wouldn ' t show what i was looking for . not sure if this is a continuation of that problem or something else on netflix ' s part .
i also like new on netflix although they sometimes post expiration dates on the actual expiration date . they also tend to post new releases late on the release date or , in some cases , several days after the release date . nevertheless , they do eventually get around to posting expiration dates and they try to do so as far in advance of the expiration date as possible , which is more than netflix does ( at least if you are a streaming customer only ) . as for archangel , i believe that lisa posted the expiration date on this page on august 10 . maybe the person at new on netflix is being scrupulous in not copying from others . that ' s not a
dig
at this blog since i think you have a lot of people here getting information from a lot of different sources . i will repeat what i have said publicly before - - this is the best site for getting early and accurate information on expiration since . kudos to david and all other contributors .

once you read this book , you will see why artists have made new mexico their home for many years . something about the desert , sunshine and magnetism of the earth and the people draw you here .
“3 nights in the desert” is a middling drama starring amber tamblyn , wes bentley and “boardwalk empire’s” vincent piazza as erstwhile members of a rock band that almost made it , reuniting after several years’ estrangement . needless to say , a lot of unresolved issues rise from hibernation during this rural weekend , but the characters , situations and dialogue too seldom escape cliche in gabriel cowan’s watchable but unmemorable feature . cast names should assure some cable and download sales .
had to check the walkthrough for the 4 # ' s and the order of symbols . in the walkthrough there are x ' s on the blocks where the worm is but not in my game . and no hint i could see for symbols .
in the climactic scene , we see the stallion set free , running ( in slow motion ) toward other horses , somewhere in what is left of untamed nature in the west . it is now free to live according to its nature , rather than as a character in one of ampco ' s demeaning dramas .
kerr , the mayor , said he doesn ' t worry much about other cities muscling in on adelanto ' s turf . the city has already gotten a jump on the competition by being among the first in the state to bring growers out into the open .
we were $ 2 . 6 million in the red ,
mayor kerr said .
now we ' re about maybe a half a million to three - quarters in the red . by june we should be in the black .
“in 10 years we’ll be famous or dead , ” chirps one protag in an old college - radio interview we hear off the bat . in the present tense , however , only anna ( tamblyn ) has achieved fame as a pop princess . drummer barry ( piazza ) opted for the stability of becoming a tax attorney with standard - issue wife and mortgage . after a long collective silence , they’ve been summoned to the desert by erstwhile wild man and guitarist travis ( bentley ) , who simply vanished from contact in the interim .
but , later , we see the public in another role , as a supporter of the side of right . here , once the public learns the truth about the mistreatment of the horse , it rallies to steele ' s side .
unfortunately , it seems that he also suffers from a kind of alienation that is common in a culture of simulation - - everything in him resists being turned into the walking embodiment of hype . he has no idea how to project an image of himself or the product or the company , nor does he have any interest in doing so , preferring to escape his sense of disquiet over what he has become by losing himself in a different kind of illusion , dispensed from a bottle . at one of many events in which he rides before the public in flashing lights , he shows up intoxicated and falls off , a cardboard cutout of a cowboy who keeps falling down on the job .
in the last few decades , we have seen the emergence of a new kind of culture in america based on manipulated images , marketing , themed entertainments and hyped up television news stories . in effect , we have seen the rise of the image and , as the historian daniel boorstin predicted at the beginning of the 1960s , as image has come to dominate , values have fallen away .
the symbols are in order , from left to right , but not all of the symbols are available to be used .
while adelanto was among the first cities in southern california to approve industrial cultivation , it increasingly faces competition from throughout the state . communities in the salinas valley say they have the agricultural know - how and ideal climate for marijuana . those in northern california have a long history and culture of large - scale cultivation .
while it strains belief a bit that the isolated home travis built himself should look like a squatter’s shack on the outside but a resort rental on the inside , the pic is otherwise smoothly packaged , with shots of the spectacular socal desert surroundings supplying one reliable pleasure . the original songs performed ( though not written ) by tamblyn and bentley , however , do not suggest the world lost much when this fictive band broke up .
meanwhile , through various acts of con artistry , the reporter finds steele on the run , out in the open country of the west , and tries to talk him into telling her his story .
the contradictions inherent in the movie ' s role as image - buster and image fabricator , truth - teller and manipulator , are particularly evident in the way it portrays a fourth player , namely the public , which is , of course , ourselves . on the one hand , the public is depicted as consisting of fans who love the manufactured cowboy and the manufactured food he endorses , and are oblivious to the deception and degradation involved . this aspect of the public is dramatized in a scene early in the movie in which steele shows up late and drunk to a publicity event that will take place before a big crowd . as a result , a double is put in his place , riding around with electric lights - - a fake impersonating a fake .
from the very beginning , “escape from l . a . ” warns you not to get comfortable . the ending of “yes and , ” which showed bojack driving away from his toxic life in los angeles , was more hopeful for bojack than not . he not only got to new mexico in one piece , but he found the woman who liked him before he was famous , the woman who made him wonder , “what if ? ” but just like when she said she doesn’t actually live in that idyllic maine cottage he’s always imagined at herb’s funeral , charlotte immediately sets bojack straight . no , she doesn’t care about this turquoise crap , and no , she hasn’t been waiting for him . thirty years later , charlotte has a family , and bojack is once again left out in the cold wondering what in the hell he’s been doing with his life . it’s jarring after the seemingly optimistic ending “yes and , ” but it’s not exactly surprising . the real surprise is when “escape from l . a . ” uses one of bojack horseman ’s abrupt cuts to the future , and it’s not just twenty minutes later .
“3 nights in the desert” is a middling drama starring amber tamblyn , wes bentley and “boardwalk empire’s” vincent piazza as erstwhile members of a rock band that almost made it , reuniting after several years’ estrangement . needless to say , a lot of unresolved issues rise from hibernation during this rural weekend , but the characters , situations and [ … ]
bojack has pushed the boundaries before , but this latest betrayal cuts the deepest . “escape from l . a . ” is an unequivocal condemnation of its main character , which is a huge risk . it’s a wrenching , searing , unrelenting episode of television will remain a series standout whether or not it pays off .

in adelanto , people like previti — investors with backgrounds in real estate development , law , even the nba , but little experience growing marijuana — have come to town saying they can make it happen .

cacti and succulents in a range of pot sizes and price points , including 306 packs , 1 - quart , 2 . 5 - quart , 3 - quart and 2 - gallon pots . varieties include flamboyant desert rose ( with striking red , pink or white flowers ) , low - growing echeverias and aloes , and upright cacti .
to some degree , these two depictions of the public capture contradictory aspects of the american people . still , it transforms the public into hero for an obvious reason : if it were to portray the public primarily as a dupe and willing accomplice , the story would have been less emotionally satisfying for audiences and had less market appeal . in other words , the movie transforms the image of the public to that of a hero because it is responding to the same market pressures that lead the fictional ampco to hang lights on sonny steele .
the plot thickens as steele , who is supposed to do a las vegas show with rising star in those electric lights , becomes upset at the degradation that both he and the horse are subjected to , and at the fact that the company is pumping the horse with steroids to increase its muscle mass , and giving it other drugs to calm it down and make it possible for it to walk with a strained tendon . in response , steele does what his name says - - he takes the multi - million - dollar stallion , riding it down a las vegas show ramp at caesar ' s palace ; through a casino , where luck and fate have themselves been turned into commodities ; and down the ultimate commodified and themed street of the las vegas strip , a man wearing a suit of flashing lights on a street of neon . he then rides off into the desert , with the intention of setting the horse - - and himself - - free .

but in the end , all these significant moments are still nothing compared to the one i ended up choosing , the one that makes this episode so crucial and so brutal to watch . this is the moment where bojack embraces the worst parts of himself , resigns himself to being broken—and devastates people he truly cares about .
two months later , bojack is still in new mexico , slinging up pancakes and sleeping in the driveway in the boat he bought at a fictional boat show . ( bojack really should be better at lying by now . ) his life with charlotte’s family is picture perfect , which the episode drives home with fake sitcom credits that deliberately echo those of horsin’ around . as with everything good in bojack’s life , though , this happy honeymoon period has an ominous cloud hovering over it . this life isn’t sustainable ; he still has feelings for charlotte ; he’s getting awfully close with her teenage daughter . it’s only a matter of time until bojack realizes this latest escape isn’t a permanent fix . once that happens , there’s no telling just how badly he’ll self - destruct—or how badly he’ll hurt someone else .

essentially a remake of wb ' s earlier film the petrified forest , starring the incomparable humphrey bogart . this film would have benefitted from a star of his charisma or magnitude , since the escaped nazi pows in this film lack the menace of duke and his gang . nonetheless it is still a serviceable thriller . it ' s worth the brisk runtime though to see how an earlier plot and character archetypes are retooled for relevance on the american home front in 1944 .
the movie takes place in the west , where the new image - based culture , epitomized by las vegas , coexists with an older economy of ranches and towns that still maintains some sense of connection to the still older economy of the old west . inside this setting , it shows us four kinds of players that now characterize this culture , as they interact and play out roles that represent trends in contemporary society .
they don ' t know the difference ,
one of the producers of the show sardonically tells him , making clear that the movie is pointing a finger of blame at the public for allowing itself to be manipulated by this culture of images . ( the scene also conveys another message , of course : in a world of false appearances , we are all replaceable . )
as the plot thickens , hunt sears does what his name says and has his operatives hunting for steele . the reporter then treks with steele across the desert to the place where he plans to set the horse free , in the hope that she can persuade or trick him into letting her videotape its release . he refuses and symbolically throws away her camera , because it is weighing them down . she then has a real adventure with him and a real love affair , and is changed as a result , to the point where she is able to see him as something other than as raw material for a
story
, and thus agrees to keep the place where the horse will be released a secret . along the way , she loses her bravado , as well , and it becomes clear that she is being set free a little bit also .

i’ve been avoiding articles and interviews about the series in case of spoilers , but i have to say that todd vanderwerff’s claim that bojack is the new mad men makes a lot more sense after this episode .
a good example of these works is the 1979 movie the electric horseman , directed by sydney pollack and starring robert redford and jane fonda . unlike many similar works , it doesn ' t warn us about the danger of this new culture of images by portraying the future as it might evolve from our present - day excesses . instead , it depicts the role of the image in contemporary america and manages to capture many of the trends that now dominate our very real world of illusion .
in 1917 mabel sterne , patron of the arts and spokeswoman for the new york avant - garde , came to the southwest seeking a new life . this autobiographical account , long out - of - print , of her first few months in new mexico is a remarkable description of an easterner ' s journey to the american west . it is also a great story of personal and philosophical transformation . the geography of new mexico and the culture of the pueblo indians opened a new world for mabel . she settled in taos immediately and lived there the rest of her life . much of this book describes her growing fascination with antonio luhan of taos pueblo , whom she subsequently married . her descriptions of the appeal of primitive new mexico to a world - weary new yorker are still fresh and moving .
second , it shows us steele , a five - time rodeo champion who , like many other people , has found a niche for himself in the new economy as a human image . once , he performed in rodeos , which offered audiences a theatrical and ritual reenactment of the substance of the old west that still had some connection to the social reality it depicted . like gladiator games , they weren ' t merely
shows
but life - and - death contests in which the subduing of nature that was once the essence of the west , was depicted by a genuine struggle . but now , like much else around him , steele has become a themed ( which is to say , falsified ) version of himself , a character in ampco ' s universe of reinvented reality .

she said .
hezekiah allen , executive director of the california growers assn . , said those rules have shown prospective investors that cashing in on marijuana won ' t be simple .
third , the movie shows us a celebrity television reporter , played by jane fonda , who has made a name for herself acting as a simulation - buster or exposer of just the kind of manipulations ampco specializes in . but she has , herself , made a fortune packaging reality into hyped - up stories , as a form of entertainment , and distorting it in the process .
but in this same period of time we have also witnessed another development - - novels , movies , television programs and social critiques now routinely portray this new culture and try to understand it . as we will see throughout this site , these works convey the same set of messages over and over , making clear that they are expressions of a deep and , very likely , universal response we have to a world full of image and simulation . whether it is the 1970s science fiction story the futurological congress , which is described elsewhere , or a host of other works that will be examined , we are forever being shown characters who are trapped in worlds of falsehood and illusion . we follow their travails as they escape from their tinsel paradises and find a more authentic life .

it ' s unfortunate that the wrong version had been uploaded . i actually enjoyed this game a lot . it was difficult but not impossible . though , the hint about the vines definitely helped me . for the symbols , one door is on the left and the other on the right - just go in order . oh , and i can ' t do anything without ad blocker on . this entire site ( this one , not mouse city ) slows my imac down to a crawl if i don ' t block ads .

he says in disbelief , as he watches his double do his act .
ultimately , the real test of whether adelanto can bank on long - term income from marijuana is whether the new ventures setting up here can operate within the law as stable , profitable businesses .
most tempting was the final shot , where bojack gets back to his los angeles house and it’s a total pit . as he wades through the cans and bongs and filth , the first assumption is that this must be todd’s doing—and then he gets to the balcony and sees diane . these two have been in a dead heat for this season’s most prominent downward spiral ; it’s only fitting that they end up finding each other at the bottom .
at this point , ampco recognizes that steele represents a threat to its way of doing business . in particular , it fears that if he reveals the corporation ' s mistreatment of the horse , it will jeopardize a planned hostile takeover of another company .

bojack has never been an easy guy to like , which is by design . on the character’s part , bojack’s terrified of having people get to know him because he’s convinced his true self will repel them—just like what he figures happened with wanda , for instance . on the show’s part , there is a special challenge in getting us invested in someone like bojack . it’s incredibly difficult to sell the now ubiquitous antihero as someone we should care about because…well , antiheroes are assholes . who cares if a washed up sitcom actor drinks his life away in a hollywood hills mansion ? who cares if his dream movie becomes a joke ? who cares if he pushes people away when he’s so awful to them in the first place ? the series so far has been answering those questions by making us care about bojack as a specific ( horse ) person rather than a trope . it makes the moments when he really , truly fucks up that much worse .
having initially met because they all share the same birthday , they’ve ostensibly gathered now to celebrate turning 30 . but travis clearly has a hidden agenda or three : it’s soon obvious he wants to reunite on a professional as well as personal basis . but since he was the one who impulsively broke up the band just when they were getting somewhere — and remains the person most likely to pick at everyone else’s sore spots — the others are less than overjoyed by that proposal . then there’s all the romantic baggage to sort through , since barry was / is in love with anna who was / is in love with travis who maybe was / is in love with barry ( this last dynamic is just vaguely hinted at ) . when not yelling at each other or storming off , the characters take turns entering a local cave travis claims has mystical properties , where one’s true desires can be glimpsed .
adelanto ' s leaders have been desperate to cure the city ' s economic woes for years . in 2013 , the city of 32 , 000 residents declared a fiscal emergency and has since continued working to stave off insolvency . there was talk of dis - incorporation and bankruptcy .
through the wonders of marketing and advertising , ampco has created a false public image of itself in which it is identified with one of its many properties - - the $ 12 million thoroughbred , rising star . to sell its cereal ,

it has similarly turned a rodeo champion ,
sonny
steele , into a comic book version of a cowboy , pasting his face ( or a version of his face altered by the art department ) on cereal boxes . steele often appears in public in garish , multi - colored cowboy costumes that seem to have purple as their default mode , usually atop a horse , as both he and the horse are bedecked by flashing lights .

as a result of the news story she did before they went on their trek , the truth comes out ; public opinion rallies to steele ' s side , and ampco suddenly claims that once its own investigation revealed what was happening to the horse , it agreed with steele . the system is as corrupt as it was before , but authenticity has won a small victory over the manipulated image .

when charlotte walked in on bojack and penny , i gaped at my screen in horror . i saw it coming , but i hoped otherwise . i hoped bojack would learn his lesson . i hoped bojack would resist the urge to fuck everything up , again . i hoped he would give me a reason to keep rooting for him . he doesn’t . it’s disgusting . but it makes perfect sense for his actively destructive character , and it’s bold as hell for this so - called comedy to embrace just how horrifying the consequences could be . again , the reason why it at all works is because the people involved are aware of just how far they’ve pushed their “protagonist” over the line . bojack and penny acting on their flirtation is never depicted as anything other than creepy . even as penny insists this is what she wants , it is always clear that bojack is the adult who needs to shut it down . no matter how many times he protested before , the fact is that even giving in once is too much .
after i got over my initial “holy shit” reaction / dread at having to write this one up , my first thought was shock that no one spoiled this episode in the comments . credit where it’s due , thank you all very much . let’s keep the streak going for just one more episode , shall we ?

as this brief summary makes obvious , the electric horseman tries to get its audience to experience some very large truths about contemporary society , which were already obvious when the movie was made . by inviting us to identify with the hero and the horse he rescues , as he takes his pilgrimage from image to nature , from a false life on camera to an authentic life off , it tries to get us , symbolically , to take the same journey . the movie wants to , itself , be a simulation - buster and hero , leading us out of the false paradise of illusion that is contemporary culture .
mabel luhan came to taos to find herself . this turned into impacting the northern new mexico region by attracting the world ' s and america ' s intellectual and arts elites to the region . she writes to portray a native american pastoral scene that is shown through her viewpoint , but probably not as it actually was . this is a great read before delving into the more current publication by its editor revealing the psychiatric foundation for mable ' s authorship and her life long challenges - - including marrying and separating her husband from his taos pueblo culture . if you visit taos , and want to see her home and its related buildings , be prepared for an unfriendly welcome by the staff at the now bed and breakfast conference center , probably because the luhan myth contrasts with the truth .

this book is a captivating story of a woman finding herself . a rare opportunity to view new mexico through the eyes of a woman sharing her intimate view of a time that was full of change for women , native americans & taos before it was popularized . highly recommend to anyone interested in the southwest culture , history . also a beautiful love story .
as we see the detailed regulations and folks understand this is not going to be an easy , free - for - all transition , i think that ' s starting to temper the expectations of easy returns ,

the gold rush , gold fever led a lot of folks to make some business decisions that aren ' t as in touch with california ' s marketplace , but i think that is mellowing down a bit .
one player it shows us is a multi - billion dollar conglomerate known as ampco , epitomized by an amoral corporate executive , hunt sears . ampco is very much a part of the new west and the new world of manipulated appearances that characterizes the late twentieth century . its modus operandi is to convert reality into fantasy , turning whatever it touches into a form of entertainment , to lure consumers into buying its products . for ampco , the world is the raw material for the creation of images that are , themselves , either commodities or sales pitches that can be used to sell commodities .
mabel dodge luhan must have been quite a charasmatic woman and certainly left a strong imprint on taos , new mexico during her life there . this book is her ' spiritual ' journey from her superficial life on the east and west coasts to one of more meaning and simplicity in taos . she is engaging ( albeit at times quite repetitive writer ) and her scenes of daily life and travel in new mexico are vivid and appealing . however , to me she comes across as incredibly self - absorbed and insensitive ( which she acknowledges in her past life , but claims she ' s transcended now that she ' s been exposed to the mysteries of tony luhan ' s inner peace ) . she treats her third husband like an annoyance , until she packs him off , and has a young son who merits only a few pages where we are assured he ' s doing just fine , although his mother is certainly almost emotionally completely absent . a large part of her attraction to tony is that he is the first man she feels and enjoys being completely submissive to . i realize i ' m reading a book written in the early 20th century with a 21st century sensibility - so all the mystical awakening is most definitely old hat by now and gender roles still very much called for submission to male authority . in the end , mabel seems like someone who would certainly be interesting to know , but not someone with whom you ' d want to trust your heart .
since the city allowed cultivation , 56 businesses have secured permits , but only a dozen firms have so far secured a business license , the final step before they can open , city officials said .

at this point we see another side to the simulated society , in which a war of demonizing and idealizing images takes places to win a political battle . on one side , ampco leaks misleading information ( based on a grain of truth about steele ' s drinking ) , alleging that steele is an alcoholic and a drug addict , and potentially dangerous to the horse . having invented steele as an idealized hero , it will now reinvent him as a villain . on the other side , steele , with no other way to defend himself , allows the reporter to tell his story . she conveys a real but over - heroized image of his good self and good intentions that will undo the misleading image created by ampco .

but there is another reality that it fails to adequately take into account , namely that it is also , like the creations of the fictional ampco , a collection of manipulated - - idealizing and demonizing - - images , designed to sell itself and its message . like many stories told with images , it is a form of ideology that takes the form of reality to show us its point and involve our emotions , rather than trying to convince us with arguments . through its manipulations , we come to hate the machinations of business ; we come to see simplified entertainments as sinister and authentic nature as good ; and we come to see the news media as flawed , but essentially on the side of right .
