dead air can be caused by the failure of equipment , either through mechanical breakdowns or loss of power , which will send studio technicians scrambling to find a solution as quickly as possible . in other cases it can come about due to a radio equivalent of stage fright , or a heroic bsod on the part of the dj . if the dj in question has been under pressure from their higher ups to become lighter and softer as part of studio policy , a brief period of dead air can herald the moment where the dj throws caution to the wind , and decides to tell his bosses ( and everyone else listening , of course ) exactly how he feels about it .
a group of friends enjoying a weekend in the woods play a game of
dead mary

greek chorus : the dead princes , barred from the afterlife , have nothing better to do than follow their brothers around and comment on the action to each other .
this trope can also be used to show the lengths radio crews will go to avoid dead air . a trusty sidekick may ramble on in place of their suddenly mute comrades , or a dedicated dj may risk his or her own life to keep broadcasting while disaster strikes the studio . in worst cases it can lead to nothing is scarier .
full house : used for a brief joke when some of the family is visiting jesse and joey at their job at the radio station . at one point , they all realize that nothing is being broadcast , and rather than allow the dead air , they all begin chattering , singing , etc . into the mic at the same time .

the footage of the july 2007 attack was made public in a move that will further anger the pentagon , which has drawn up a report identifying the whistleblower website as a threat to national security . the us defence department was embarrassed when that confidential report appeared on the wikileaks site last month alongside a slew of military documents .
sightings : look for mention of this urban legend early in the 1999 film magnolia . also , the 1998 mordecai richler novel barney’s version and the 1989 peter mayle novel a year in provence make use of the legend . an episode of cbs’s csi : crime scene investigation ( “scuba doobie - doo , ” original air date 25 october 2001 ) was based on this legend .
the biopic man on the moon has a scene depicting the filming of this sketch . the snl producers face - palm over kaufman ' s apparent stage fright and the resulting dead air , because kaufman never told them that the awkward silence ( and the awkward doing - nothing - while - waiting - for - his - cue ) was the entire joke of the sketch .

in barrow hill , the radio dj you ' ve just phoned gets chased from her beat - up winnebago by the stalking menace . if you hang up the phone , go back inside , and check the radio , all you hear is dead air . this can be fixed if you visit the now - abandoned winnebago and reset the equipment to broadcast a station - identification message .
an instance of truth in television , much to the chagrin of radio broadcasters everywhere . some stations will even pre - record interviews and re - edit them just to avoid it , or have songs on standby to use at a moment ' s notice if needed . additionally , many stations around the world ( particularly public broadcasters ) are programmed to switch to an emergency broadcast system , often if there is dead air for any more than 30 seconds , making this something of a justified trope . there is also a practice where broadcasters pre - record dialogue and play them in lieu of live conversations to fill time , known as relief tapes . since dead air can occur for almost any reason in real life , only notable instances should be listed in the examples section .
the star model p is lying next to the dead mexican . note the trigger guard is rounded and 1911 style trigger . the bottom of the front strap appears raised like the star series pistols .
to be fair , the announcer ' s inner monologue shows that said guest did this every time ; he ' d come in and rant himself into a frenzy over something , mainly as an overreaction to some perceived danger , before reaching a point where ' d he just sit there seething until someone else spoke . the announcer recognized the signs and reacted quickly to prevent the dead air from lasting any longer .

connoisseurs of sarah kennedy knew something interesting was going on when dead air announced she had been pulled from her morning show on bbc radio as too , err , ill to continue . this happened more than once , and by the third time , her producers knew to withdraw her from service during music , so that the stand - in replacement could seamlessly take over without too much of an upheaval or necessary silence .

indeed , the bbc has automatic systems ensuring that if dead air goes on too long , it is usually replaced by automatic music or a recording of birdsong . this is because if the gap goes on for too long - some authorities say five minutes , some six - the silence will be replaced by the national emergency tapes to be broadcast to the british nation in the event of nuclear war , natural disaster or the armageddon .
i watched this film mistakenly thinking that it was that other radio station zombie flick . the shonky production values and low - rent cast soon gave away that this was another one of the those cheap sci - fi channel style knock offs . the central performance from bill moseley is initially quite engaging as the dubious radio shock jock but as the film goes on becomes less and less convincing as he is actually required to act . the rest of the cast have little to do other than look concerned and have no depth whatsoever . the cinematography is dull , flat and completely uninspired , like so many of these kind of films . it doesn ' t even manage a decent bit of convincing gore , the zombie make up is literally pathetic apart from one notable exception towards the end of the film . the film tries to inject originality and a message into it ' s concoction of half baked and ripped off ideas by somehow equating this outbreak with intolerance towards islam and the war on terror . this is woefully handled with all the intellectual clout of a 6 year old . as the characters and seemingly the writers are unable to distinguish the difference between race and religion - describing all people of a certain skin colour as
muslims .
most notably one character is revealed to be muslim by skin colour alone . at the same time the
muslim
terrorists who cause the outbreak are the usual psychopathic stereotype . presumably the far far superior pontypool had a similar budget as dead air yet shines everywhere where this film fails miserably .
and takes them both . the hapless goatherd gets dragged along by the villains for most of the rest of the film . it does turn out well for him in the end , though , as he ' s seen
stephen king wrote both the novel and the teleplay for this creepy film where a writer / professor who is also a recovering alcoholic agrees to become the caretaker of a colorado hotel in the dead of winter . though he is joined by his wife and son , the family soon finds itself becoming more and more isolated , and the professor seems to be dealing with some evil forces that he is helpless to protect himself or his family against .
not only is he actually tristan ' s uncle , but the only time he actually meets the two main characters is in the film ' s climax , just in time to help fight the big bads and get killed .
this film marks the final appearance of actor paul walker as he stars together with vin diesel , dwayne johnson , and jason statham in the sequel to the fast and furious 6 . though filming was delayed midway through , walker’s brothers were used as stand = ins and the film was successfully completed . after defeating competitors abroad in tokyo drift , walker and diesel return to the united states to face more challenges , dangers , and high voltage chase scenes .
a highly dramatic example came during hurricane harvey , when khou , the houston cbs affiliate , needed to evacuate their flooding studios . after the evacuation a single reporter was left on air and continued to broadcast for around 20 minutes ( and helped save the life of a man trapped in a truck during the broadcast ) until the signal cut out . then khou ' s sister station in dallas provided coverage on social media until khou could return to the air using a temporary studio .
a remote broadcast ran into trouble and went dead . station manager andy wanted to run some psas since that ' d at least be something , but les decided to go live with one of his irrelevant anti - communist speeches instead .
the virus took hold of the set rather quickly . it was february in british columbia , the perfect time and place to film exterior winter shots , but an environment that only helped the illness spread faster . production tried to prevent impending disaster , quarantining those infected , giving them iv drips in between scenes . but it was too late . the virus had already sunk its teeth into so many . and that’s how five puppies ended up dead during the filming of snow buddies .
after ground forces arrive and the children are discovered , the american air crew blame the iraqis .
well it ' s their fault for bringing kids in to a battle ,
says one .
that ' s right ,
says another .
the lead helicopter , using the moniker crazyhorse , opens fire .
hahaha . i hit ' em ,
shouts one of the american crew . another responds a little later :
oh yeah , look at those dead bastards .
in the motel a drug dealer is seen using a cobray m11 / 9 . as with numerous other guns depicted , the m11 / 9 is an anachronism for the film ' s date of 1980 , as it was first manufactured in 1983 .
several norinco type 56 copies of the ak - 47 assault rifle ( both the fixed stock type 56 and folding stock type 56 - 1 ) can be seen on the ground next to dead drug dealers at the site of the failed exchange .
the film is a typical zombie film , virus infects town , people start biting each other , virus spreads by the bites , and a handful of survivors try to make it out of town alive . in this one the military is brought in to enforce a quarantine on the small town of leadville , co because of the mysterious virus . once they realize the virus eventually makes people start ravenously attacking each other , it ' s too late . . . except for a few .

these words sounded verbatim to me from no country for old men , the novel by cormac mccarthy , but i find they are not quite . and their impact has been improved upon in the delivery . when i get the dvd of this film , i will listen to that stretch of narration several times ; jones delivers it with a vocal precision and contained emotion that is extraordinary , and it sets up the entire film , which regards a completely evil man with wonderment , as if astonished that that such a merciless creature could exist .
in this classic film , butch ( played by paul newman ) and sundance ( played by robert redford ) are a pair of western robbers as well as best friends . the two are followed through the west by a special posse who seem to lurk around every corner .

anton chigurh ( javier bardem ) uses a suppressed intratec tec - 9 pistol when he is chasing llewelyn moss in eagle pass . although tec - 9s are mentioned by name in the book , they are anachronistic because the tec - 9 was not manufactured until 1985 and the film takes place in 1980 .
captain shakespeare of the caspertine ; in the book , the ship tristran and yvaine travel on is the perdita , and its captain is named alberic . they were renamed to acknowledge that the captain in the film is effectively a new character , with a different personality and backstory and a larger role in the plot .

anton chigurh ( javier bardem ) uses a sound - suppressed remington model 11 - 87 semi - auto shotgun with a short barrel in four shooting scenes in the movie . as with many other firearms , this gun is also anachronistic because the remington 11 - 87 was not designed until 1987 and the film takes place in 1980 .
a heckler & koch sp89 is picked up by llewelyn moss at the scene of a drug exchange gone wrong . as this film takes place in 1980 , the sp89 is anachronistic , since the gun was not manufactured until 1989 . this is a substitute for the mp5k , which is the weapon that llewelyn picks up in the book .
llewelyn moss ( josh brolin ) uses a 12 gauge winchester model 1897 pump shotgun for a large part of the film , and uses it to wound anton . he originally buys a long barreled ' field ' shotgun , and subsequently saws off the stock and saws down the gun barrel to roughly the length of a ' riot ' version .
many of the scenes in
no country for old men
are so flawlessly constructed that you want them to simply continue , and yet they create an emotional suction drawing you to the next scene . another movie that made me feel that way was

even evil has standards : una disappeared for years and is presumed dead , and septimus is known to have killed several of his older brothers , but he is still deeply offended that everyone assumes he must have killed una as well . as he points out , he would have no reason to kill her , given that stormhold is an heir club for men —as a daughter she wasn ' t a competitor in the line of succession anyway .
the firefighters , seeking to control the fire as quickly as possible , called in a fleet of helicopters with very large buckets . the buckets were dropped into the ocean for rapid filling , then flown to the forest fire and emptied . you guessed it . one minute our diver was making like flipper in the pacific , the next he was doing a breaststroke in a fire bucket 300m in the air . apparently , he extinguished exactly 1 . 78m ( 5’10” ) of the fire .
rock ( derek tsang ) , the director of a poor rating tv program , bumps into a female ghost , tincy ( tong ling ) , and helps deliver her baby from her dead body . in return , the ghost helps him create a new reality show

from the moment the invaders arrived , breathed our air , ate and drank , they were doomed . they were undone , destroyed , after all of man ' s weapons and devices had failed , by the tiniest creatures that god in his wisdom put upon this earth . by the toll of a billion deaths , man had earned his immunity , his right to survive among this planet ' s infinite organisms . and that right is ours against all challenges . for neither do men live nor die in vain .
enemy mine : sort of . at the end of the film we have a hero / villain team - up ( between tristan and septimus ) to take down a more dangerous villain ( lamia ) , but the two characters weren ' t enemies beforehand—in fact , they ' d never met ( though septimus did beat up tristan ' s mentor , captain shakespeare ) . septimus lampshades it nonetheless — he points out while neither of them can trust the other , neither do they have much choice but to work together .
no country for old men
is as good a film as the coen brothers , joel and ethan , have ever made , and they made
fargo .
it involves elements of the thriller and the chase but is essentially a character study , an examination of how its people meet and deal with a man so bad , cruel and unfeeling that there is simply no comprehending him . chigurh is so evil , he is almost funny sometimes .
he has his principles ,
says the bounty hunter , who has knowledge of him .
when a representative for the american humane association —the group that asserts that “no animals were harmed in the making of this film”—arrived on set on feb . 19 , the first day of filming , trouble was already brewing . of the 30 dogs acquired by production ( five more had been bought from a canadian breeder ) , 15 were on set . the other 15 had been showing signs of illness for about two weeks , and were being treated by local veterinarians . they were eventually diagnosed with giardia and coccidia , a parasitic disease common among young dogs .
the man is named anton chigurh . no , i don ' t know how his last name is pronounced . like many of the words mccarthy uses , particularly in his masterpiece suttree , i think it is employed like an architectural detail : the point is not how it sounds or what it means , but the brushstroke it adds to the sentence . chigurh ( javier bardem ) is a tall , slouching man with lank , black hair and a terrifying smile , who travels through texas carrying a tank of compressed air and killing people with a cattle stungun . it propels a cylinder into their heads and whips it back again .
chigurh seems to prefer to use a captive bolt pistol on his victims when he can . he also uses it to blow out door locks . the captive bolt pistol is a pneumatic gun that fires a bolt into the brains of cattle to stun them before slaughter . like the name suggests the bolt never entirely leaves the gun , it is shot out by air ( or a blank ) and then retracts back into the gun by return springs . though not a
firearm
it is a gun and does play a big role in several scenes . anton most likely chose this weapon because it requires no ammunition , is almost completely silent , and leaves no physical evidence ( bullets and / or empty casings ) .
chigurh is one strand in the twisted plot . ed tom bell , the sheriff played by jones , is another . the third major player is llewelyn moss ( josh brolin ) , a poor man who lives with his wife in a house trailer , and one day , while hunting , comes across a drug deal gone wrong in the desert . vehicles range in a circle like an old wagon train . almost everyone on the scene is dead . they even shot the dog . in the back of one pickup are neatly stacked bags of drugs . llewelyn realizes one thing is missing : the money . he finds it in a briefcase next to a man who made it as far as a shade tree before dying .

we’ve cast an eye over two mixed bags of sex ‘n’ angst in cannes these past couple of days . first up , adrift ( a deriva ) , about a family vacation on a highly photogenic stretch of brazilian beach . there’s trouble in paradise , naturellment – namely the meltdown of writer mathias’ ( vincent cassel ) marriage to clarice ( deborah bloch ) . mathias is having an affair with a slinky american ( mostly mute camilla belle ) , a secret uncovered by his eldest kid filipa ( laura neiva ) , a 14 - year - old experiencing her . . . .

this is a wonderful coming of age film . 14 year old filipa is spending the summer at the beach with her family but soon comes to realise her parent ' s marriage is shakily built on lies . there ' s a few twists & turns , & i was captivated with the slow destruction of this family to the end . the cast are superb ; vincent cassel is wonderful as the loving father & i was very impressed with laura neiva , having never seen a film of hers before . it ' s also visually stunning . the scenery is lush , there ' s plenty of sea , sand & sun . the film made me want to pack up & move to a house on a cliff by the beach . oh , & i quite liked the photo gallery at the end . it was a bit like looking through the family ' s photo album from the summer !
the film ' s cinematography is absolutely stunning , regularly slowing down to a poetic moment set in sao paulo , brazil . the beautiful girls on the beach , the underwater scene and the bike rides , . . lots of memorable , day - dreamy scenes making for a meditative , calm experience .

adrift
was a visual effects milestone for the series . it introduced several cast changes for the season , including the departure of carson beckett ( paul mcgillion ) and elizabeth weir ( torri higginson ) , and the inclusion of samantha carter ( amanda tapping ) to the main cast . before its release , an incomplete version of the episode was leaked on the internet . after its release ,
adrift
started the season with a drop in ratings since the last season finale . the episode earned the series emmy and visual effects society award nominations , and was generally well received .
) , i thought that the un certain regard selected film had its merits . it boasts a well crafted story that sends viewer on a road initially frequently travelled but then surprisingly lands well on its feet . on the other hand i didn ' t care for some of the theatrics – especially an allusion to the nightmare scenario of having a gun involved .
first and foremost , adrift looks absolutely amazing , with a slightly muted color palette that captures the beautiful hues of brazil in ways you ' ve never seen before . it ' s a love letter to the country , unquestionably , and dahlia and his cinematographer ricardo della rosa shoot it in such a way that i couldn ' t help but fall in love with the look of it . beyond that , the score by antonio pinto ( who also scored city of god ) also carried me so much deeper into the story . this is exactly why i mention that dhalia is on the verge of breaking out - he ' s just waiting to unleash his cinematic brilliance upon the world and this film is his precursor .
a quiet contemplative film that explores the tensions of a husband and wife splitting up over the course of a summer holiday and how that dynamic affects the children , who don ' t understand what is happening . lots of lovely scenery , young , nubile bodies , and and some solid acting mark this film . laura neiva , as philipa , the oldest girl , is quite lovely and gave a strong performance . vincent cassel and debora bloch played her parents and camille belle was the love interest for the father . all is not as it seems however and when the true reason for the breakup comes out it does manage to surprise , at least a little . one has to wonder how many bathing suits a young girl like that might own , as it seems that philipa never wears the same one twice .
the film tells about filipa ( laura neiva ) , a 14 year old girl who spends her holidays with her family in the town of buzios , in rio de janeiro . while she discovers herself , facing passions and common challenges of adolescence , filipa also has to deal with the extramarital relationship that her father , matias ( vincent cassel ) , has with angela ( camilla belle ) , a neighbor of his beach house .
this is an excellent movie to watch and you cannot help but fall in love with the beach over and over again . cassel is charismatic and delivers an impressive performance of a father and lover . some of the shots are beautiful and the pace of the film ticks along nicely whereby at the end your feelings towards the characters have changed . a great story of family and a young girls exploration of adult behaviour . highly recommend .
one of the more enjoyable discoveries in covering a film festival is the uncovering of new talent : whether it be behind or in front of the camera . at this year ' s cannes , i was introduced to a foursome of directors , several actresses and a genius performance from a french speaking newcomer you ' ll leave an imprint on world audiences . one honorable mention i have before we commence this top ten list , are the child actors from michael haneke michael haneke
probably one of my favorite foreign films ! gorgeous , empathetic and balanced portrayal , as seen through the eyes of a young girl , of a family struggling to stay together amid fears and passions that threaten to tear it apart . the actors are well cast and believable . the story has adequate depth and , as with the conflicting emotions of its characters , surprising twists and turns . not only that , this film offers the best scenery of the coast of brazil ! beautifully done .
some hours after midnight , the typhoon abated so much , that through the strenuous exertions of starbuck and stubb - - one engaged forward and the other aft - - the shivered remnants of the jib and fore and main - top - sails were cut adrift from the spars , and went eddying away to leeward , like the feathers of an albatross , which sometimes are cast to the winds when that storm - tossed bird is on the wing .
beautifully filmed and excellently acted , the bond between father and daughter , combined with their parallel experiences , run through the film and hold the story together . while it is fragmented in places , as some critics have commented , i think it demonstrates perfectly the complexity of family life , while the heat of brazil provides a perfect backdrop , reflecting the passions and emotional perils of the main characters . and vincent cassell proves once more his acting skills as well as his dexterity and language abilities , while ably demonstrating that emotional angst can strike at any age .

i can ' t suggest enough that true cinephiles should seek out adrift . you will fall in love it just as i did , i ' m almost certain of that . and although the story may not be the most impressive part , there will be so much more you ' ll adore , that it ' ll be hard not to see past some of its minor flaws . it ' s not exactly a sleeper hit yet , but with some more time and more critical attention ( which it ' s likely to receive ) , it ' ll be on its way .

adrift
is the second episode of the second season of lost and the 27th episode overall . the episode was directed by stephen williams and written by steven maeda and leonard dick . it first aired on september 28 , 2005 , on the american broadcasting company . in the episode , flashbacks depict michael dawson ' s struggles for the custody of his son walt lloyd . the realtime events show michael and sawyer , who have just had their raft destroyed , becoming hostile towards each other as they drift back to shore , while kate austen and john locke enter the mysterious hatch and encounter desmond hume .
the storyline picks up the raft storyline which was left hanging after season one ' s finale ,
exodus
, and also revisits the events seen in the previous episode ,
man of science , man of faith
. originally envisioned as a sawyer episode , the episode was rewritten to focus on michael . the sea scenes were shot on the hawaiian shoreline .
adrift
had 23 . 17 million american viewers and stands as the second largest audience on the series ' run , but received negative reviews , which focused criticism on the flashbacks , the raft scenes , and the lack of plot advancement .
ricardo della rosa ' s cinematography , with its etherial crane shots and sunset glow , may be the primary element of adrift to compliment , but that does not mean the narrative and pathos are any less deserving . filipa ' s coming - of - age sexual journey equates to a cinematic version of jacques lacan ' s mirror stage , as she attempts to discover meaning outside her own sexuality through its mirroring in her parents adulterous relationships . as heartbreaking a depiction of divorce as i ' ve ever seen , but equally tempered with a loving , honest portrayal of a caring family . a personal tale of familial maturation that i could float in again and again .
where adrift struggles the most is that it ' s not anything new , it ' s not a story we haven ' t already seen before . and unfortunately it never hits on the emotional level that i was hoping it eventually would . thanks to all the aforementioned technical aspects , it ' s still wonderful and occasionally heartwrenching to watch it play out , but it never reaches the kind of brilliance that would make it one of my absolute cannes favorites . that said , vincent cassel again impresses me with an extraordinary performance , as does newcomer laura neiva , who could very well be the most talented actor of this entire cast , even if it is only her first major role .

the shores of buzios in brazil beckon in a drama about infidelity and sexual awakening which mainly settles for being easy on the eye .
the tale is told competently enough , but the central relationship between the parents , clarice and mathias , is unsatisfying . . .
vincent cassel is in typically commanding form , showing off his surprising mastery of portuguese , in a thoughtful and beautifully shot movie about love , lust and growing up .
less a proper coming - of - age movie than a posh version of home and away .
while it may not tell us anything new about the human condition , it is beautifully shot and impeccably acted , especially by screen newcomer neiva .
i think i stumbled across a big cannes sleeper hit . from the beaches of brazil comes
is his calling card , a gorgeous family drama about a beautiful young girl ( seen above ) and her parents . it ' s not a masterpiece , but it is definitely one of the better films i ' ve seen here that offers so much to fall in love with , whether it be the actors , cinematography , or story .
french actor vincent cassel stars as mathias , the loving father of a family of three kids , husband of clarice ( débora bloch ) , and struggling author in desperate need of money . set in the 1980 ' s on the stunning beaches of brazil , the story follows the breakdown between married couple mathias and clarice as seen through the eyes of their eldest teenage daughter filipa ( newcomer laura neiva ) . while undergoing her own sexual awakening , she discovers that her father is having an affair with an american women ( camilla belle ) living not too far away . dhalia takes an unconventional approach in telling the story though her eyes .
is always good to see vincent cassel on screen . hey , alex , you´ve been giving positive reviews to everything at cannes , is it really that good , or are you only reviewing the ones you find worthy ? in any case , thanks for the constant updates . greetings .
# 1 - i don ' t review everything from cannes . there are some big stinkers ( kinatay , vengeance ) but i don ' t care to review them really , no energy of effort to do so . . . # 4 - i have a
hard - on
for the cinematography more than anything . . . 😉
i have not seen this movie yet . but as i love the panache of vincent cassel as well as the extraordinarily beautiful beaches of brazil , these are two great reasons to check this one out .

what is this one about ? a 1980s - set drama about a teenage girl undergoing her sexual awakening when she learns about her father ' s infidelities .
my thoughts on this one ? the shooting locales are awesome . . . . all the performances are good . . . . so what is the problem ? the pace of the movie is brutally slow . . . . . and not very interesting . in my movie rating system , every movie starts with a 3 . 0 rating . . . . this movie does nothing to move the needle up or down . . . . so in the end this is a pretty average movie . and a movie i will probably never ever even think about again .
