The Hollywood Art: October 2006
http://thehollywoodart.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 13, 2006. AH, SWEET MYSTERY OF SONGS AND SUCCESS. For many an old time film fan, the singing duo of Nelson Eddy. Yet, what is there about the Eddy/MacDonald. Chemistry that makes their duets so indelibly etched in our collective consciousness, yet, just as easily is dismissing the fact that their acting apart from one other left much to be desired. To be obvious they sang well together. But other film teams (most notably, Mario Lanza. Had appeared opposite Maurice Chevalier. Romantic sex ...

Sunday, November 26, 2006. JOHN WAYNE - AMERICAN. Duke's legacy casts a giant shadow. Oscar and I have something in common,. John Wayne proclaimed at the 1979 Academy Awards,. Oscar first came to Hollywood in 1928. So did I. We're both a little weather-beaten, but we're still here and plan to be around for a whole lot longer. Partly, because Wayne himself had never served in the armed forces even though he frequently donned military regalia for his films). The year before, John Wayne. Held back his emoti...

POET IS THE NEW BLAH, BLAH, BLOG: October 2006

POET IS THE NEW BLAH, BLAH, BLOG. Saturday, October 21, 2006. The acrid lure of temptation. Barbs in twine about my neck,. Blithe and pitiless,. Each metal cuff,. Sucked deep from the recess of fertile breath. Waking sacred days of pretend -. Too squeezed from morbid juices. Cross thick calloused treads. Alas, even sacrifice seems. Like the spinning wheel threads. Of veiled spider’s web. The chain of my bond -. Thrust from this gaping world fever. Into the next -. To bleed no more. Clotting in my veins.

Wednesday, August 23, 2006. LET'S HEAR IT FOR THE BOYS. Are today regarded as cinematic icons; as American as apple pie, the undisputed masters of slapstick, and, as zanily unhinged as anything ever seen on the screen. If Laurel and Hardy. Were sublime punsters, the stooges were punch drunks. Pitted against the Marx Bros. For example has managed to outlive almost all other filmed comedic bits of business put forth by rival acts, save radio hams cum film comedians Bud Abbott. Pop Goes the Weasel’. Better ...

POET IS THE NEW BLAH, BLAH, BLOG. Sunday, August 20, 2006. The swollen prelude mounted. Thrusting into passion’s sway. Senses playfully corrupted,. Hurried into punctuated hush,. Each mezzo sopranic trill. Spilled on tone deaf appendages. The thrill scorned,. Slovenly bemused by too many notes. Merely drinking in polite applause. Liquefy the subtle arts. Into a mimicking clattery. Batter of each pulsated fall. Until all strings are plucked. To its bosomed close,. From a conductor’s baton. Of an end,.

The Hollywood Art: July 2006

Saturday, July 15, 2006. The disappearance of legacy in. I’ve wasted the greater part of my life looking for money and trying to get money; trying to make my work on this terribly expensive bait box which is a movie. And I’ve spent too much energy on things that have nothing to do with making a movie. It’s about 2% movie making and 98% hustling. It’s no way to spend a life. Arguably, the career of Orson Welles. Welles would later explain,. So it never occurred to me that I wasn’t until middle age. In Woo...

Thursday, June 22, 2006. MEN OF VISION - THE BROTHERS WARNER Part I. IRTH OF A G. You were very good at playing a bitch-heroine, but you shouldn’t win an award for being yourself! On her Oscar win for Jezebel. Depending on which star or technician you tap, there are as many differing and varied opinions on the legacy of Jack L. Warner. As there are films in the Warner vaults. The envy of the best in the business up to and including MGM. He was born John Eichelbaum. For a while, the brothers went their se...

The Hollywood Art: March 2006

Tuesday, March 28, 2006. REDEFINING THE MASTER BUILDER OF THE AMERICAN MUSICAL. Colossal genius or masochistic joke. The debate over America’s premiere choreographer from the 1930s rages on, fueled primarily by conflicting testimonials from the people who worked for him and by nearly six decades of fraudulent academic debates (. Most of them based in Freudian feminism. There is no denying that as an artist, Berkeley’s ‘use’ of women is in strict service to his construction of conformity - elaborate.
