![]() He saw in the guitarist a complementary musical piece, someone he could play off of in his search for headier, sonic terrain. ![]() Lloyd was at the Greenwich Village club one night with future Television manager Terry Ork when he first saw Tom Verlaine. There, the seeds for what would become Television were first planted. One of the few clubs extending an olive branch to young musicians at the time, however, was Reno Sweeney. Being a local act playing original music was just unheard of.” If you were lucky, you could get an opening slot once every six months at the Bottom Line or something. “There were very few places to play, and there were no places to play if you played original music,” he says. What it didn’t have was a place to call home. The scene he had heard about was healthy and alive upon his return. Having quit high school just shy of graduating to pursue music full time, Lloyd spent some time in Boston before settling out west. Word of what was happening in New York had spread far enough to entice Lloyd to move back east from Los Angeles in 1973. The New York Dolls, Suicide, The Modern Lovers, and The Velvet Underground before them were each creating something distinctly New York in sound and style - that is to say, something intelligent, cool, and edgy with a healthy dose of street smarts. From a musical standpoint, New York City in the mid to late 1970s represented a wide-open frontier, a boundless play area where new ideas and experimenting were not only allowed, but encouraged. In many ways, it was and still is, but it arguably couldn’t have originated anywhere other than in the band’s home base of New York City. ![]() On its face, Marquee Moon sounds like an unparalleled work picked cleanly out of thin air. “It’s been on top 10 lists and top 50 lists and top 100 lists, and I hope it stays on those lists.” “I’m very proud of that record,” Television guitarist Richard Lloyd says, looking back on the record 40 years later. ![]()

![]() ![]() She spends the whole time in this film looking distraught with her mouth hanging open and gasping for air! its quite infuriating. The less said about Portman the better frankly, she is becoming more and more annoying as she grows older. Its quite strange to actually think that he was rather dashing even though his face is hidden behind that mask, you tend to forget he's wearing a mask really, its a good looking mask. He played the character in full as we know but his polite charming well spoken mannerisms really sold the whole anti hero character and gave him this endearing Errol Flynn like persona. ![]() Why would someone in the 2030's idolise and copy a 16th Century criminal, despite his treasonous act which isn't actually much to celebrate really.Īnyway I can't deny that Weaving's smooth charismatic tones were prefect for the voice of 'V'. I understand the notion of using the terrorist act of blowing up Parliament as brilliant symbol/sign of rebellion against the dictatorship that governs this universes UK, but why the need to dress up like Guy Fawkes complete with silly period wig and quaint facial mask?. What I have always found weird about this graphic novel creation is the obsession with Guy Fawkes. The plot is strange for sure, set in the future of the 2030's, its all about a totalitarian run UK and a certain freedom fighter (with the noted Guy Fawkes fetish) who uses the old 16th Century attempted terrorist act as his main influence for his own terror attacks.of freedom.Ī curious blend of fascism set against anarchy with an all American style matinée serial/pulp magazine hero in the middle. kind of a kinky dressing up as Guy Fawkes fetish thing going on. There's a definite Guy Fawkes motive running through this film isn't there, didn't notice at first (yes I'm being sarcastic). Natalie Portman's accent falls off at times, but the lispiness seems at least consistent, and her performance throughout is every bit as good as her Oscar-winning one, though I do think she plays too coy during her "confession" with Father Lilliman so that she seems to be toying with him to aid in V's plan instead of seeking asylum for herself. Ben Miles of "Coupling" is also quite high of power and forehead. Stephen Rea's yammy face and the smallest twitch of his lips convey Inspector Finch's every disguised exasperation at the tyrannical government he's tasked to protect, and this time around, I was truly invested in his character arc. I must also give kudos to the impressive cadre of British thespians that I was unfamiliar with before. I love the brilliantly paced and lovingly lit second act when Evey is taken prisoner and we learn Valerie's heartbreaking story. I love Dario Marianelli's soaring arpeggios and was surprised that I hadn't taken notice of him until "Atonement" in 2007. I love the high angle shots in the onyx, low-lit war room, with all those contemptuous whites of eyes staring up at the oppressive video feed of our corn-grilled chancellor. In 2005, I was blissfully enthralled by Natalie Portman in her follicular heyday, so I didn't quite appreciate the philosophical core of this visually and aurally stunning film. ![]() ![]() Interestingly enough, Maslow’s contribution did not sync in well with those of his peers his theories were deemed too “positive” and “optimistic” for the academics studying them. Abraham Maslow paid much attention on the notion to increase one’s personal growth and goodness by dispelling the overtly cold, somewhat insensitive studies other psychologists put forth as their studies. He extrapolated on human nature, tendencies and how one’s potential and peaks can be materialized into reality. His emphasis was on the good nature of his animate surroundings. ![]() In an era where psychologists focused on the clinical aspects of mental and social disorders, Maslow made a significant attempt at understanding and asserting the belief that humans are capable of wonderful, altruistic deeds. His analysis and experiences formed fundamental subjects in the humanist movement pertaining to psychological studies. His hypothesis became well acknowledged theories that included the famous hierarchy of needs in addiction to self actualization. Later on Maslow became the driving force behind humanistic psychology. Due to his admiration for these people, Maslow studied and analyzed them for his theories that later on proved to become the foundation of his contributions. His influences include the famous Gestalt psychologist Max Wertheimer as well as well known anthropologist Ruth Benedict. Maslow commenced teaching at Brooklyn College in 1937 where he continued working as a member to the faculty of the institute. It was in Wisconsin where Maslow found a great mentor and guide in his doctoral advisor Harry Harlow. Initially Maslow intended on studying law at City College in New York but he decided to change to University of Wisconsin where he developed interest in psychology. In his notes, he mentioned his childhood as lonesome and rather abysmal and that he enjoyed spending his time perusing fiction and nonfiction in the library. Abraham Maslow migrated from Russia he was the first child among seventh others in his Jewish family. ![]() ![]() ![]() So, people who want to get in touch with their spiritual side often get the Yggdrasil tattoo.

The symbol is frequently used to honor soldiers who died in battle. It is the symbol of Odin, the Norse God of war and death. One of the most fascinating Norse symbols, a Valknut in Norwegian culture symbolizes a slain warrior. It was also said that warriors wearing the Helm on their brows struck terror in the hearts of their enemies. Vikings going into battle wore the Helm as a symbol on their foreheads as they believed that the Helm gave them the strength of Fafnir the dragon. Legend says that whoever possesses the Helm is invincible. The earliest mention of the Helm of Awe is from the Poetic Edda, a collection of ancient Nordic poems.Īccording to Norse mythology, the Helm of Awe was first possessed by Fafnir the dragon. It is perceived both physically and metaphorically.

It isn't long before the oblivious co-eds get a taste of the man's illness, and in their desperation, each learns that he or she will stop at nothing to survive. Cabin Fever is a 2002 horror film about a viral outbreak directed by Eli Roth. Fearing for their own lives, the quintet decide to do away with the man, with little success: He stumbles away from the campsite and into a nearby stream, where his disease quickly infects the local water supply. Unfortunately, a wayward, forest-dwelling vagrant ( Arie Verveen) stumbles into their lives, his skin badly desiccated by a mysterious virus. Cabin Fever is a standout piece of horror cinema for a number of reasons. Cabin Fever stars Rider Strong as the geeky Paul, who hopes to settle in around the campfire with his brash buds Jeff ( Joey Kern) and Bert ( James DeBello), and make the moves on the nubile-but-shy Karen ( Jordan Ladd). Cabin Fever has gained a cult fandom over the years, but Eli Roths gory horror movie actually fills in some plot holes and expands upon its story through some briefbut importantdeleted scenes.

Some of the more recent examples have been the EBOLA virus. There have been many circumstances in real life where countries have had to quarantine individuals who were said to have contagious diseases. The Grave ReviewĬabin Fever (2002) was an interesting film because it not only demonstrated what may happen if people catch a contagious disease but also how society would react to it. In this way, the threat that is imposed on the victims is something different and fresh. The gore in this film is interesting because the blood and gore are not the results of an individual but from a transmitted disease which makes the fear of catching it scarier. The way in which the sick individuals are displayed is cringe-worthy and grotesque. In addition, the disease causes people’s skin to become loose and fall off their bodies.

After about one month, the mother will lay the soft, lizard-like eggs and will then nurture them for ten days before they hatch. Two to three eggs will develop in the female platypus after successfully mating. When a platypus is two years old, it is ready to mate. But they are considered Mammals! Let’s talk about this egg-laying process. So…these animals have fur like mammals, feet like birds, and lay eggs like reptiles? Yes. They also have incredible bills that can sense the sounds of other animals to help them hunt! Cool huh? In addition to laying eggs, they have legs on the sides instead of underneath their bodies and they have webbed feet with tough claws for swimming and digging. There are many features about the Duck-Billed Platypus that lead people to believe they are actually reptiles.

Murrayglossus was named in honour of Peter Murray, a now-retired Australian palaeontologist who wrote extensively on echidna fossils. “Weighing 30kg in size, roughly the size of a wombat, this massive monotreme would have been many times the size of modern Australian echidnas,” says Helgen. The largest egg-laying mammal ever discovered, this 30-kg animal may have specialised in eating termites. Murrayglossus hacketti, a giant echidna of the Pleistocene of Western Australia. This frigid polar landscape, perhaps surprisingly, still had forests which withstood at least three months of freezing darkness each year. The researchers found that the oldest-known monotreme, Teinolophos trusleri, lived some 130 million years ago when south-eastern Australia lay close to the South Pole.
