arizona rattlers v . salt lake screaming eagles when the arizona rattlers made the leap from the arena football league last offseason , they knew well what they were leaving behind — a foundering league that they had dominated for years . this season , however , they’re discovering what they’ve gotten themselves in to . not only is the competition stiffer , there’s also twice as many teams to contend with in the indoor football league . still the rattlers have fared well in their inaugural run , winning six of their first 10 games . and with conference punching bags the salt lake screaming eagles visiting talking stick resort arena , 201 east jefferson street , at 6 p . m . on saturday , may 20 , the rattlers face a golden opportunity to pad the win column as they battle for their first ifl playoff berth . tickets are $ 8 and up . visit the arizona rattlers website or call 602 - 379 - 7800 for details . rob kroehler

rattle snakes are attacking in droves and unprovoked . a militarily bio - lab is in the area . sam chew jr . and elisabeth chauvet investigate . this is a pretty straight forward , not too mysterious film with cut footage of rattlers added , but not as obvious as a fine ed wood production . i watched the film on a 50 dvd set and the sound was not restored , hollow in some areas , uneven in others , and a buzz at the end . film quality could have been better too . it does contain the classic woman in the tub scene as snakes come into the tub and she doesn ' t even try to get out . guide : no swearing of nudity . implied sex .
rattlers is an suspenseless creature feature that goes on for too long , even though it only lasts 82 minutes . long story made short , something in the desert is turning rattlesnakes into killing machines . a male female research team is called in to find out what . although the beginning of the film has a rapid series of snake attacks , midway through it gets bogged down in conspiracy subplots and a budding romance between the two leads . when people watch a movie called
rattlers
they want to see snake bites , not gumshoeing . to make matters worse , the characters talk about how gruesome the victims ' bodies are , but the corpses are never shown . the film might be rated pg , but keep in mind this is a 70s pg , which could be stretched for a lot of gore ( e . g . jaws ) . also , there is no real final confrontation with the snakes , which is a prerequisite for this kind of film .
the film has garnered good reviews from critics but holds no rating on rotten tomatoes , although the audience rating is currently at an average of 3 . 1 / 5 . [ 7 ]
rattlers seems to be obsessed with male / female relations – ann is assertively feminist in her opinions about women shattering the glass ceiling , and her constant vocalization of her political beliefs are incessantly pitched throughout the film . this however , does not make her character repetitious , instead it heightens her motives , grounds her relationship ( both professionally and romantically ) with the male lead and her cool handling of heated situations shows us the audience that this is a woman who doesnt let misogyny get in the way of her work as she investigates the snake attacks that become increasingly popular as the film progresses .
this roman polanski classic revolves around jack nicholson ' s dogged attempts to unearth the identity of the nefarious individual who owns valuable water rights in the san fernando valley . it takes nicholson the entire film to figure out that john huston is the puppet master here . today , all this stuff about crooked developers and water rights would already be on thesmokinggun . com , so no feisty gumshoe would be needed . the film would simply never get off the ground .

despite their lingering affinity for the great lakes state , the pull of los angeles’ music scene drew them to the west coast after college , with young settling in california first before convincing reed to join him to start michigan rattlers .
hilarious , simply hilarious . the film was so incredibly bad - nearly every aspect was evidence of poor decision making on the part of the film ' s producer , director , and casting directors that it was rife for riffing . joel and the gang broke into giggles frequently which makes for even greater fun . the scene in the bar with the rock band will have you rolling . not one disappointing moment .

tampa , fla ( sept . 16 ) – florida a & m couldn’t solve the offense of the tennessee state as the tigers defeated the rattlers 24 - 13 in the inaugural famu tampa classic in front of over 17 , 000 fans at raymond james stadium . the defense , which had early indicators of being the strength of the rattlers , gave up 514 yards to the tigers who used a balanced attack to keep the team from honing in on a defensive solution .
bowers led the rattlers on the ground with 34 yards rushing . stanley followed with 12 yards . brandon norwood led the receivers with 76 yards on eight receptions . famu redshirt freshman , chad hunter , had 46 yards on two receptions .
this is really a zero star film , but i got two stars of ironic entertainment out of this hilariously bad nature - gone - wild story about a deadly horde of rattlesnakes . a scientist discovers that the titular snakes have become infected by nerve gas dumped in the desert by the military , causing them to become highly aggressive . the film does get points for doing the unacceptable act of killing off children in the opening scenes , and it gets bonus points for filming those opening death scenes in a most supremely incompetent manner . overall ,
rattlers
is not scary , has a ridiculous story , but is a must - see for connoisseurs of bad cinema .

cherrybomb premiered at the 2009 berlin international film festival , but was initially unable to find a distributor . an online campaign by grint ' s fans was credited with helping to secure a deal for distribution in the united kingdom . [ 5 ]
could not help but prove a money - maker for novak , who distributed the film to more than a dozen foreign markets , among them the philippines , japan , taiwan , greece , egypt , italy , iran , israel , and portugal .
the rattlesnakes first kill an old man off - screen . they then ( in our film ' s opening sequence ) kill two ten - year old floppy - haired boys who were stupid enough to go out wandering in the desert and fell into a nest of rattlers . with their small bodies , it wouldn ' t take more than a few bites to kill them , but we learn later that the corpses show dozens and dozens of bites , as if the snakes swarmed them , biting and slashing and poking , even post - mortem .
anyway , we need to get these rattlers wrangled so let ' s meet our film ' s hero , dashing young herpetologist tom from ucla . no , he doesn ' t study herpes ( that ' s your mom ) , he studies snakes and snake related things . tom is a walking , talking wikipedia entry for

mr . harrelson and ms . lewis deal as captivatingly as they can with the film ' s wavering attitudes toward their characters . both hit the requisite raw nerves , and both also make sense of the material ' s occasional romantic reveries . used in a labored effort to give this story a spiritual dimension is russell means , as the only character in the film whose life means anything to mickey and mallory . balthazar getty is seen briefly as a young man who gets killed at a gas station , which probably qualifies as some kind of black joke .
okay , i ' m exaggerating when i call this a classic , but i like these ' 70s revenge - of - nature films . i remember seeing the trailers for films like
rattlers
and
grizzly
and
empire of the ants
on tv when i was a kid . but would my parents ever let me attend these gems ? heavens no ! so now i ' m making up for lost time as an adult , rediscovering these terrible films from my youth . in many ways these films are like a time machine to another era - - an era with bad clothing , terrible dialogue , cool cars , and in - your - face feminism , buster ! while you can ' t really destroy the plot of
rattlers
( rattlesnakes attack people , duh ! ) , i would urge you to watch the film for the
performance
of the main female lead . you haven ' t seen cardboard until you ' ve seen her . wow . awesome .
in takashi miike ' s excellent 2003 film – the 2008 american remake is not quite up to snuff – innocent japanese kids get phone messages from beyond the grave warning them that they are next in line to die a horrible death . phone messages make great cinema , due to the evocative power of the human voice . but one missed text ? one missed tweet ? just not the same . another thing : in more than one asian horror flick , photographers developing film in their dark rooms get murdered by people who unexpectedly come to life during the developing process . those days are gone . thanks , digital camera .
and for some inexplicable reason , our film decides that it needs to stop being a rampaging monster movie and instead become a romantic comedy ! off to las vegas ( vegas , huh ? ) now as tom casts off his inhibitions and gets down to the business of giving ann the business end of his . . . uh , business . what the holy hell is the point of this ten minute interlude ? did the focus group who test audience ' d this film ( ha ! ) say they needed more kissy - kissy and less hissy - hissy ? were the producers worried that the housewives in the audience ( of
while ann learns all there is to know about snakes , tom learns something about acquired feminism and the burgeoning womens movement in response to the issue of the workplace situation during americas grueling recession post - vietnam . what makes the tom character interesting and complicated is that his sexism is somehow inherit and undiagnosed ; ultimately he is likeable and liberal minded and yet the film presents him as a man who discovers his personal misogyny through his partners fervent feminism . ann and tom both learn and that is the fundamental centerpiece of what could superficially simply be ranked as straight up exploitation ; in many regards , rattlers makes a hefty point and delivers this point with entertainment clearly in key focus .
jaws also had an engaging leading man playing someone who is ill - equipped to deal with a deadly force of nature , yet must for the greater good . rattlers has someone with standard ’70s helmet - hair who is also a bit of a smarty - pants type . jaws had , at times , a sense of humor where rattlers is as serious as a heart attack , and thus cannot be taken seriously at all , which makes it perfect for cinematic titanic . the team of joel hodgson , trace beaulieu , mary jo pehl , j . elvis weinstein and , yes , home video’s frank conniff have worked together for many years so you can expect they will be at the top of their game ( s ) .
near the end of his career , and with hardcore pornography having eclipsed his comparatively modest gains in the raincoat market , novak put his money behind the occasional horror film , guaranteed money - makers in inner city grindhouses and on the southern drive - in circuit . novak produced a softcore remake of the roger corman killer plant classic
a snake expert and photographer are tasked with investigating a series of fatal snake attacks in the mojave desert . their detective work leads them to a nearby military base . i found rattlers to be a lot of fun . its story is simple but it basically works . it never gets boring and essentially delivers the requisite snake action you would expect . its budget restrictions means that some of these scenes might seem a bit clunky at times but it didn ' t bother me to tell you the truth . the story kept me interested the whole time and the explanation for the psychotic snakes was ultimately decent enough . i guess you could say that rattlers essentially does what it promises to do and that is present a film with a series of snake attack scenes . for those of you with a taste for low budget 70 ' s american horror films then this one should suffice . there is also a bit of male / female bickering about the merits of liberated women which puts it firmly in the decade it was made but which is also quite amusing to watch now .
i guess they included that opening title for a little fan service . they have to acknowledge the original film for fans , along with dropping references within the movie to it , like slimer and a big twinkee sign in times square . it’s become this unspoken mandatory rule when remaking a movie to be sure to reference the original movie .
los cinco titanic brought their presentation of rattlers to morristown , new jersey’s mayo center for the arts in 2011 . that performance is not the one seen on this disc but the jokes are scripted . it is the same performance in most ways , excepting the circumstances that no two audiences are the same and laughing along with a real audience works differently than with one on your television screen .
to illustrate this point , in the following paragraphs we will examine instances where mobile phones and twitter and facebook and google and linkedin and droids and ipads and the internet in general would have altered , and in many cases destroyed , the plots of classic motion pictures down through the ages , often making it impossible to film them in the first place .
in the natural horror film or the ecologically themed horror film  a subgenre that truly came to mass fruition during the tumultuous and turbulent seventies – there were character archetypes typically found within the narrative fabric that were extensions and bi - products of societal conditions and the cultural climate . one of the most popular of these prototypes is the sympathetic specialist or the intellectual independent presented as a smart , savvy , beautiful and self - possessed young woman . these characters are generally linked in some way to the natural order , or have a deep understanding of the featured animal / threat and therefore can lead or assist in controlling the devastation that has been unleashed upon unsuspecting civilians tormented by hordes of killer bees , dogs , spiders and so forth .
as played by mr . downey with a thick australian accent and perfect lip - smacking unctuousness , wayne is one of the film ' s more deft inventions . but he , like everything else about
natural born killers ,
is allowed to go overboard . after their operatic arrest in a ghastly , green - lit drugstore ( another of mr . stone ' s genuinely disturbing images ) , mickey and mallory go to prison and are manipulated by a leering detective ( tom sizemore ) and a publicity - happy warden ( tommy lee jones ) . even before it culminates in an actual riot , this section of the film becomes hysterical , to the point where it even features the rare out - of - control performance from mr . jones .
famu quarterback , ryan stanley , is looking to get the team back on track for the beginning of meac play . ‘we’re 0 - 0 in the conference and still have a long season ahead of us . i haven’t even seen them on film yet . we’ll come out and see what they do and go get that first conference win next week , ” he said .
killer rattlesnakes of the american southwest gather up in large numbers and start unprovoked attacks on people , and it ' s up to a male expert on reptiles and a female photographer to find out why and stop them .
rattlers
has a thin , one - note script that can barely sustain even the 79 minutes of its running time , and the snake - attack scenes aren ' t anything to write home about either , though at least the snakes are real which is instantly preferable to the obvious cgi we would probably get in a similar film today . the print i saw was in pretty poor shape , and made a constant crackling sound , as if someone was burning it up ; the movie is not offensively bad ( apart maybe from the scene near the end where the two heroes are enjoying a carefree romance in vegas without having done anything to stop the snakes first ! ) , but it is so unremarkable that if someone did burn the master print up few people would probably notice . on a side note , the female lead is absolutely gorgeous . i was somewhat surprised to find out that she never made another film . ( * * )
this was a film i knew i wasn ' t looking forward to seeing since i ' m not a fan of feig ' s nor of wiig ' s or mccarthy ' s . simply , i have never found these two funny whatsoever . but i might just be surprised , i mean it ' s good to keep an open mind on a few things . but after seeing the trailer , my close mindedness might win out . not only is this a remake , but the jokes are simply not funny . a few seconds in and crack jokes are already on display , not to mention the stereotyping of these characters is not only wrong , but so outdated that this film has a far more backward mentality than some sex comedies of the 80s . after seeing this trailer twice , i went on youtube and looked up my favourite ghostbusters scenes and you know what , the jokes are filled with wit and humour and the characters are very likeable and actually try to transcend stereotyping . sorry but from this trailer this film is going to suck , and i bet all the critics will be championing just so that they don ' t seem sexist .
while they conceded it hasn’t always been easy gaining “natural traction” in los angeles , the duo has turned some heads . the michigan rattlers released an acclaimed five - song ep last fall that was produced by johnny k ( plain white t’s , 3 doors down ) and were named by rolling stone as one of “10 new country artists you need to know , ” compared to the likes of ryan adams , early wilco and old 97’s .
the most difficult thing the cinematic titanic crew needs to do is to latch onto a movie that is so bad mocking it becomes easy , but not so bad that the overall awfulness envelops their jokes . that was the problem with the crew’s prior riff - spin on war of the insects . i’m pleased to say that is not the case with rattlers . i will say , however , the dvd experience is not as good as the live experience .
tsu got on the board in the first quarter with a field goal with 3 : 29 remaining . the second quarter , the rattlers took the lead on a devin bowers one - yard touchdown run . the extra point was blocked with an errant snap and hold . tsu would regain the lead for good with 1 : 55 remaining in the half on a 44 - yard touchdown , which featured a spectacular run and catch by steven newbold . the gave tsu a 10 - 6 lead going into halftime .
animal scorpius dance theatre’s newest show , animal , explores the interactions between beasts and humans — and the behavior and physicality of domestic and wild animals through nine dance pieces . the show also explores the connection between pets and their owners through a series of funny interludes and a short film . inspired by artistic director lisa starry’s love of animals , the show is upbeat in tone but also delves into the experiences of caged animals through a multidisciplinary piece combining dance and film at phoenix theatre . a visual art display in the lobby will feature animal - inspired artwork by metropolitan arts institute students , and a portion of the proceeds from the show will go to the lost our home pet rescue . showtime is 8 p . m . on saturday , may 20 , at 100 east mcdowell road . tickets are $ 25 and up . for more information , call 602 - 254 - 2151 or see the scorpius dance website . laura latzko
once learning that it is indeed a remake has also upset and disappointed fans . the more casual fans who haven’t been following the evolution of this movie for decades are just getting clued in on this . despite the original film coming out thirty - two years ago , a lot of fans wanted to see a continuation of that story and to be treated to seeing as much of the main cast back in their roles as feig managed to shanghai . that ain’t happening .
with more sophistry than poetry , oliver stone apotheosizes these trash archetypes in
natural born killers ,
his supposed satire about an america despoiled by violence and exploitation . satire ? in his skill as a manipulator of thoughts and images , in his short - circuiting ordinary narrative , and in his intuitive visual brilliance , mr . stone could well turn out to be the most influential american film maker of his generation . but as a satirist , he ' s an elephant ballerina .
tom and ann go to talk to a glider pilot in the local hospital . this man says he landed his glider in the desert nearby and was attacked by a swarm of rattlesnakes , just barely escaping with his life . his story lends credence to tom ' s theory that for some reason the rattlesnakes of this area have become kill - crazy . oddly , the man playing the pilot is by far the best actor in this entire film , reading his lines with great gusto and enthusiasm .
then he joins in , as mr . stone pumps up the music , switches film stock , lets the camera sway vertiginously , shows a bullet circling playfully toward the scared face of someone about to die , and so on . grand flourish : when the spree is over , mickey and mallory dance together to
la vie en rose ,
with fireworks exploding romantically behind them . mini - witticism : mickey may have killed almost everyone in sight , but when he spoke to the waitress , he ordered nonfat milk .
here is the central paradox in all this : directors have no problem getting an audience to believe in ghosts , vampires , succubi , extraterrestrials , poltergeists , gremlins , wizards , giant worms , latter - day dinosaurs or rustic werewolves who seem to have unlimited access to steroids ; all that is deemed perfectly logical and believable . but it is impossible to get anyone to believe that a character in a horror film or thriller would not be armed with the technology needed to foil the depredations of his rampaging , bloodthirsty stepfather .
there will most likely be constant nods to the original film bouncing around all over the place . so much for feig doing a completely clean reboot , establishing his own ghostbusters movie and not wanting to be tied to the earlier films like he has said . we’ll be constantly reminded of the originals i’m betting . but the inclusion of fan service within in the trailer kind of gives the false illusion this is a sequel and that has perplexed some people as to what this movie is going to be . bad call on sony’s part .
meanwhile , how can anything mr . stone says about his characters be dismissed as tasteless or unfunny , since they themselves are meant to be embodiments of a tasteless world ?
i love mallory ,
a grotesque sitcom version of mallory ' s childhood , with rodney dangerfield in stained underwear as her lecherous father , is fairly typical of the film ' s light touch . arriving on the scene as the prince charming who will rescue mallory by helping to murder her parents , mickey shows up carrying a dripping 50 - pound bag of raw meat .
scratch the frenzied , hyperkinetic surface of
natural born killers
and you find remarkably banal notions about mickey , mallory and the demon media . (
media ' s like weather , only it ' s man - made weather ,
says mickey , delivering one of the rare memorable lines in the screenplay . ) to wit : born bad . blame society . the sins of the fathers . lost innocence . true love . wild horses , deadly rattlers , fireworks , freight trains . elements like these would appear more honestly threadbare if mr . stone were not a match for mickey and mallory in the area of overkill .
sultry psychopath jessica walter doesn ' t get a chance to harass clint eastwood every night by calling him on the phone and purring ,
play misty for me ,
because eastwood puts her on the no - call list , a tactic that was not possible in 1971 , when the film was shot . so she calls another dj , maybe somebody like jon voigt , who doesn ' t know about no - call lists , and play misty for me does not jump - start eastwood ' s directing career and none of us get to see those sondra locke movies .
, an outdoorsy type played by james franco finds himself trapped in a mountain ravine with his arm wedged beneath a boulder . a few years from now , with google earth tracking everybody everywhere , the franco character wouldn ' t have much of a problem ; after he ' s gone missing for a day or so his friends or family would simply contact his cell phone provider , and they would instantaneously track his phone to the ravine and dispatch a search party to rescue him from his predicament . all he would need to do is sit tight , ration his water supply , and hope the rats and rattlers don ' t get him first .
a movie like this doesn ' t come along every day . i am glad i saw it . i saw it at the 2002 sundance film festival , where a fair number of people walked out . i would say half . i was reminded of advice once given me by the veteran chicago movie exhibitor oscar brotman :
roger , if nothing has happened by the end of the first reel , nothing is going to happen .
if i were to advise you to see
gerry ,
you might have a good case on your hands for a class - action suit .
that ' s hardly the case with
american maniacs ,
the tabloid television show starring wayne gale ( robert downey jr . ) , who appreciates mickey and mallory for their entertainment value . at one of its funnier moments , the film dwells on the show ' s re - enactment of their exploits , with a title that says
a dramatization
as two actors , playing mickey and mallory , shoot a bicyclist identified as an american bronze medalist . finally persuading mickey to sit for an interview after 50 killings in three weeks , wayne asks the inevitable question :
any regrets ?
the whole plotline of the film revolves around a bunch of mysterious foreigners who mistake advertising executive cary grant for a fictitious federal agent they wish to do in . now retrofitted with modern technology , grant insists that he works on madison avenue , and not for the state department in washington , whereupon james mason and the boys log on to his firm ' s website , realise their error , apologise profusely , and send him on his way . the scene with the crop duster never happens . eva marie saint doesn ' t climb down mount rushmore in high heels . north by northwest goes south .
unfolding in only semi - linear fashion ,
natural born killers
devotes its first hour to mickey and mallory ' s rampage , interspersing lurid bloodshed with moments of eerie tenderness . ( after the opening slaughter , these two find themselves in the moonlight , with a holy glow enveloping mallory as she squats in the dirt and speaks about angels . ) the couple ' s blood wedding , with an exchange of rattlesnake rings and mallory ' s white veil drifting off into the abyss of a deep canyon , offers one of the film ' s most genuinely haunting visions , if only because it eludes easy understanding .
in recent years , directors have incessantly been forced to confront the narrative - busting intrusion of new technologies , resigning themselves to the fact that plotlines that were completely plausible as recent as 10 years ago are no longer plausible now . sometimes , directors simply choose to ignore this ; the coppers would only need an emailed or even a faxed photograph in the recent thriller unknown to prove that liam neeson is not the scientist he says he is , but a professional assassin . unfortunately , that would mean that the whole premise of the film disintegrates before our very eyes . so the director simply chose to act as if his audience consisted of nitwits .
now , we know who put those snakes on the plane . two kids are killed after falling into a den of rattlers , and the sheriff immediately calls in a snake expert ( sam chew jr . ) . they fell in a rattler den , for goodness sakes ! some good snake scenes , sch as the rattler crawling up the plumber ' s ( tip mcclure ) pants , and some ridiculous ones , like the mom ( jo jordan ) in the bathtub getting attacked and not standing up so we could see her . as you would expect the dialog was terrible , and some scenes ridiculous , like the mine shaft explosions . someone called it the
plan nine from outer space
of snake movies . i could not say it better .
however , not all of these women are specialists in science or animal behavior , sometimes they are nancy drew - types thrown into an investigation , such as heather menzies in piranha ( 1978 ) . these women are just as dedicated to their work and completely wholeheartedly enthused by getting on top of the truth ; as well as providing an enlightened view and concentrated education for their male peers . one of these sleuth - leads is the character of ann bradley played by actress elisabeth chauvet in the underrated exploitation drive - inn money maker rattlers from 1976 . ann bradley is a photo journalist assigned to help out a herpetologist uncover some shifty cagey business involving the us armys involvement in experiments that are causing aggressive and highly deadly behavior in local rattlesnakes in rural california .
they are , but it is the little things that differentiate the live experience from the video , and the region - specific jokes that singled out snooki polizzi and new jersey governor chris christie had more bite ( pardon the pun ) in my state than it did where the video was finally recorded . plus , being in an audience and actively participating simply feels more engaged that watching the tv , but having said these , rattlers is one of the best of the recent cinematic titanic offerings ( still not up to the bar set on east vs . watts ) . you will get some good laughs from the presentation and this disc would be excellent at parties . my only qualifier is that if you have the chance to see the group live , you really should .
i have always considered myself in the
mike camp
as far as who my favorite host of mst3k was . however , this may have changed my opinion ( at least putting them as equals in my mind ) . recently i found a bunch of cinematic titanic episodes on hulu and gave them a watch . i laughed my rear - end off ! so i decided i was now a fan and wanted to collect the episodes like i did with all the mst3k and rifftrax ( mike nelson ' s post - mst3k project ) episodes . rattlers is the best episode yet ! this was a live show i love the live presentations the best . probably because of the genuine audience laughter . you will not regret buying this if you have the smallest funnybone in your body .
and yet , and yet - - the movie is so gloriously bloody - minded , so perverse in its obstinacy , that it rises to a kind of mad purity . the longer the movie ran , the less i liked it and the more i admired it . the gerrys are stuck out there , and it looks like no plot device is going to come along and save them . the horizon is barren for 360 degrees of flat wasteland . we have lost most of the original eight hours of
greed
( 1925 ) , erich von stroheim ' s film that also ends with its heroes lost in death valley , but after seeing
gerry ,
i think we can call off the search for the missing footage .
meanwhile ann goes out in the bush alone to photograph the area where that soldier died a while back . again , she ' s just shooting randomly at the ground for no particular reason , i just don ' t see what the point of that is . i ' m not sure how much money she ' s getting paid for this job , but based on her total body of work here , she ' s ripping them off in epic style . on the way back , she gets the willies as she thinks she sees a snake in the back seat of her truck and has to be talked down off the ledge . this slight nod to the psychological effects of snako - slithero - phobia is maybe the most interesting thing in this film , if that means anything .
for some african americans , wilson’s rhetoric smacked of hypocrisy . after all , he was the president who had screened birth of a nation ( a film glorifying the ku klux klan ) at the white house and refused to support a federal anti - lynching bill , even though each year averaged more than one lynching a week , predominantly in former confederate states that had effectively stripped black men of their voting rights . “will some one tell us just how long mr . wilson has been a convert to true democracy ? ” the baltimore afro - american editorialized on april 28 , 1917 ( quoted in williams ) . “patriotism has no appeal for us ; justice has , ” the messenger , a socialist publication launched by editors chandler owen and a . philip randolph ( of march on washington fame ) , declared on nov . 1 , 1917—a sentiment that would land both men in jail under the espionage act in 1918 ( quoted in adriane lentz - smith’s 2009 book , freedom struggles : african americans and world war i ) .

vaisampayana said yudhishthira , the son of kunti , once more asked the great muni markandeya about the future course of the government of the earth .
and yudhishthira said , ' o thou foremost of all speakers , o muni of bhrigu ' s race , that which we have heard from thee about the destruction and re - birth of all things at the end of the yuga , is , indeed , full of wonder ! i am filled with curiosity , however , in respect of what may happen in the kali age . when morality and virtue will be at an end , what will remain there ! what will be the prowess of men in that age , what their food , and what their amusements ? what will be the period of life at the end of the yuga ? what also is the limit , having attained which the krita age will begin anew ? tell me all in detail , o muni , for all that thou narratest is varied and delightful . '
will be inauspicious . and the course of the winds will be confused and agitated , and innumerable meteors will flash through the sky , foreboding evil . and the sun will appear with six others of the same kind . and all around there will be din and uproar , and everywhere there will be conflagrations . and the sun , from the hour of his rising to that of setting , will be enveloped by rahu . and the deity of a thousand eyes will shower rain unseasonably . and when the end of the yuga comes , crops will not grow in abundance . and the women will always be sharp in speech and pitiless and fond of weeping . and they will never abide by the commands of their husbands . and when the end of the yuga comes , sons will slay fathers and mothers . and women , living uncontrolled , will slay their husbands and sons . and , o king , when the end of the yuga comes , rahu will swallow the sun unseasonably . and fires will blaze up on all sides . and travellers unable to obtain food and drink and shelter even when they ask for these , will lie down on the wayside refraining from urging their solicitations . and when the end of the yuga comes , crows and snakes and vultures and kites and other animals and birds will utter frightful and dissonant cries . and when the end of the yuga comes , men will cast away and neglect their friends and relatives and attendants . and , o monarch , when the end of the yuga comes , men abandoning the countries and directions and towns and cities of their occupation , will seek for new ones , one after another . and people will wander over the earth , uttering , ' o father , o son ' , and such other frightful and rending cries .

thus asked by them , markandeya answered , ' the royal sage vaka is a great ascetic and endowed with long life . ye need not enquire into the reason of this . '
hearing this , o bharata , the son of kunti , king yudhishthira the just , along with his brothers , then asked markandeya saying , ' it hath been heard by us that both vaka and dalvya are of great souls and endowed with immortality and that those rishis , held in universal reverence , are the friends of the chief of the gods . o holy one , i desire to listen lo the ( history of the ) meeting of vaka and indra that is full of both joy and woe . narrate thou that history unto us succinctly . '
vaka answered , ' if without having to associate with a wicked friend , a man cooks scanty vegetables in his own house at the eight or the twelfth part of the day , there can be nothing happier than that . 1 he in whose case the day is not counted is not called voracious . and , o maghavan , happiness is even his own whose scanty vegetables are cooked . earned by his own efforts , without having to depend upon any one , he that eateth even fruits and vegetables in his own house is entitled to respect . he that eateth in another ' s house the food given to him in contempt , even if that food be rich and sweet , doth what is despicable . this , therefore , is the opinion of the wise that fie on the food of that mean wretch who like a dog or a rakshasa eateth at another ' s house . if after treating guests and servants and offering food to the manes a good brahmana eateth what remains , there can be nothing happier than that . there is nothing sweeter or more sacred , o thou of a hundred sacrifices , than that food which such a person takes after serving the guest with the first portion thereof . each mouthful ( of rice ) that the brahmana eats after having served the guest , produces merit equal to what attaches to the gift of a thousand kine . and whatever sins such a one may have committed in his youth are all washed away of a certainty . the water in the hands of the brahmana that hath been fed and honoured with a pecuniary gift ( after the feeding is over ) when touched with water ( sprinkled by him that feeds ) , instantly purges off all the sins of the latter ! '
speaking of these and various other things with vaka , the chief of the gods went away to heaven . '
2
399 : 1 they , therefore , that lead deathless lives can enjoy this bliss from day to day for ever .
399 : 2 it is difficult to understand how all that vaka says can be an answer to indra ' s question . the chief of the gods enquires : what are the joys of those that lead deathless lives ? vaka breaks away unto a confused rigmarole about the merits of independence and the religious merit of entertaining guests and servants . all the printed editions have the passage as rendered here .
markandeya continued , ' o lord of men , the beautiful siva endowed with great virtues and an unspotted character was the wife of angiras ( one of the seven rishis ) . that excellent lady ( swaha ) at first assuming the disguise of siva , sought the presence of agni unto whom she said , ' o agni , i am tortured with love for thee . do thou think it fit to woo me . and if thou dost not accede to my request , know that i shall commit self - destruction . i am siva the wife of angiras . i have come here according to the advice of the wives of the other rishis , who have sent me here after due deliberation . '
swaha replied , ' thou art always a favourite with us , but we are afraid of thee . now having read thy mind by well - known signs , they have sent to thy presence . i have come here to gratify my desire . be thou quick , o agni , to encompass the object of thy desire , my sisters - in - law are awaiting me . i must return soon . '
markandeya continued , ' then agni , filled with great joy and delight , married swaha in the guise of siva , and that lady joyfully cohabiting with him , held the semen virile in her hands . and then she thought within herself that those who would observe her in that disguise in the forest , would cast an unmerited slur upon the conduct of those brahmana ladies in connection with agni . therefore , to prevent this , she should assume the disguise of a bird , and in that state she should more easily get out of the forest .
markandeya continued , ' then assuming the disguise of a winged creature , she went out of the forest and reached the white mountain begirt with clumps of heath and other plants and trees , and guarded by strange seven - headed serpents with poison in their very looks , and abounding with rakshasas , male and female pisachas , terrible spirits , and various kinds of birds and animals . that excellent lady quickly ascending a peak of those mountains , threw that semen into a golden lake . and then assuming successively
the other mountains . and the earth was greatly afflicted and bereft of her ornaments on all sides . and in this distress , she went over to skanda and once more shone with all her might . and the mountains too bowed down to skanda and came back and stuck into the earth . and all creatures then celebrated the worship of skanda on the fifth day of the lunar month .
and while the lady of handsome eyes was still engaged in waiting upon her lord , she beheld that brahmana waiting for alms and beholding him , she remembered that she had asked him to wait . and remembering all this , she felt abashed . and then that chaste woman possessed of great fame , took something for alms and went out , o thou foremost of the bharatas , for giving it unto that brahmana . and when she came before him , the brahmana said , ' o best of women , o blessed one , i am surprised at thy conduct ! having requested me to wait saying , ' stay ' thou didst not dismiss me ! '
markandeya continued , ' o lord of men beholding that brahmana filled with wrath and blazing with his energy , that chaste woman began to conciliate him and said , ' o learned one , it behoveth thee to forgive me . my husband is my supreme god . he came hungry and tired and was being served and waited upon by me . ' hearing this , the brahmana said , ' with thee brahmanas are not worthy of superior regard . exaltest thou thy husband above them ? leading a domestic life , dost thou disregard brahmanas ? indra himself boweth down unto them , what shall i say of men on earth . proud woman , dost thou not know it , hast thou never heard it , that the
dependeth on sruti . but , o foremost of regenerate ones , virtue as exposed in sruti appears to be of various kinds . it is , therefore , too subtle of comprehension . thou , o holy one , art cognisant of virtue , pure , and devoted to the study of the vedas . i think , however , o holy one , that thou dost not know what virtue in reality is . repairing to the city of mithila , enquire thou of a virtuous fowler there , if indeed , o regenerate one , thou art not really acquainted with what constitutes the highest virtue . there liveth in mithila a fowler who is truthful and devoted to the service of his parents and who hath senses under complete control . even he will discourse to thee on virtue . blessed be thou , o best of regenerate ones , if thou likest , repair thither . o faultless one , it behoveth thee to forgive me , if what i have said be unpalatable , for they that are desirous of acquiring virtue are incapable of injuring women ! '
at these words of the chaste woman , the brahmana replied , saying , ' i am gratified with thee . blessed be thou ; my anger hath subsided , o beautiful one ! the reproofs uttered by thee will be of the highest advantage to me . blessed be thou , i shall now go and accomplish what is so conducive , o handsome one , to my benefit ! '
markandeya continued , ' dismissed by her , kausika , that best of regenerate ones , left her house , and , reproaching himself , returned to his own abode . '
