Secondhand Lions

If you can get past its thick layer of syrup and molasses, Secondhand Lions reveals itself as a thoroughly decent family film that anyone can enjoy. It gets a little sappy sometimes, but there’s something to be said for a movie in which Michael Caine and Robert Duvall play eccentric old brothers who take the easy approach to fishing: instead of a peaceful rod and reel, they use 12-gauge shotguns. …

Beyond category or idiom, audacious in its very idea, Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter perform a little over an hour of spontaneous improvised duets for grand piano and soprano sax. That’s all — no synthesizers, no rhythm sections, just wistful, introspective, elevated musings between two erudite old friends that must have made the accountants at PolyGram reach for their Mylanta. Hancock’s piano is long on complex harmonies of the most cerebral sort, occasionally breaking out into a few agitated passages of dissonance. His technique in great shape, Shorter responds with long-limbed melodies, darting responses to Hancock’s lashings, and occasional painful outcries of emotion. The leadoff track, “Meridianne — A Wood Sylph,” clearly takes off from a base of Satie to set the reflective mood for nearly the whole CD; only the final, brief “Hale-Bopp, Hip-Hop” offers a hint of comic relief. All of the tunes, save for Michiel Borstlap’s “Memory of Enchantment,” are Hancock or Shorter originals; some, like Hancock’s “Joanna’s Theme” (from the film Death Wish) and Shorter’s “Diana,” date back to the ’70s. As avidly as this music was awaited and as wildly as it was acclaimed by critics, it doesn’t really touch the emotions as deeply as the best of the pair’s work together and apart. It stands as a graceful, high-minded anomaly in the output of both, but not something you would expect to pull off the shelf to hear too often. ~ Richard S. Ginell, Rovi

Excerpt: The Muntz Stradivarius is an antique violin crafted by Antonio Stradivari of Cremona (1644-1737) in 1736. The label affixed to this instrument bears the inscription, “d’anni 92 ” (92 years old), possibly handwritten by Stradivari himself. It has also been suggested that Count Cozio di Salabue, a subsequent owner, made this inscription. The Muntz which has a solid reputation for its excellent condition and tonal quality, takes its name from a man who owned it in the late 1800s, H. M. Muntz. He was a collector and amateur violinist who lived in Birmingham , England . The Muntz , among the last of the instruments made by Stradivari, is currently owned by the Nippon Music Foundation .References (URLs online) Websites (URLs online) Muntz Stradivarius at Cozio.comA hyperlinked version of this chapter is at The Distrest Poet is an oil painting produced sometime around 1736 by the British artist William Hogarth . Reproduced as an etching and engraving , it was published in 1741 from a third state plate produced in 1740. The scene was probably inspired by Alexander Pope ’s satirical poem The Dunciad . It depicts a scene in a small, dingy attic room where a poet sits at his desk in the dormer and, scratching his head, stares at the papers on the desk before him, evidently looking for inspiration to complete the poem he is writing. Near him sits his wife darning clothes, surprised by the entrance of a milkmaid, who impatiently demands payment of debts.Background The Enraged Musician .The engraving of The Distrest Poet in its third state was issued on 15 December 1741 as a companion piece to The Enraged Musician , a comic scene of a violinist driven to distraction by the noise from the street outside his practice room. The initial plate for The Distrest Poet was produced soon after

Excerpt: Amos ‘n’ Andy is a situation comedy based on stock sketch comedy characters but set in the African-American community. It was very popular in the United States from the 1920s through the 1950s on both radio and television.Amos and Andy began as one of the first radio comedy series, written and voiced by Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll and originating from station WMAQ in Chicago . After the program was first broadcast in 1928, it grew to become a huge influence on radio series that followed. The show ran as a nightly radio serial from 1928 until 1943, as a weekly situation comedy from 1943 until 1955, and as a nightly disc-jockey program from 1954 until 1960. A television adaptation ran on CBS-TV from 1951 until 1953, and continued in syndicated reruns from 1954 until 1966. Origins Amos ‘n’ Andy creators Gosden and Correll were white actors familiar with minstrel traditions. They met in Durham, North Carolina , in 1920, and by the fall of 1925, they were performing nightly song-and-patter routines on the Chicago Tribune ‘ s station WGN . Since the Tribune syndicated Sidney Smith’s popular comic strip The Gumps , which had successfully introduced the concept of daily continuity, WGN executive Ben McCanna thought a serialized

It is named for Aldus Manutius , the famous fifteenth century Venetian printer.Aldus was designed as a book weight text face companion for Palatino , which Zapf considered to be a display typeface . Aldus (which Zapf wished to be called Palatino Book) is designed to complement Palatino, but with a lighter stroke weight , more open counters, and better suited for text in smaller point sizes.Aldus nova Aldus nova was also designed by Hermann Zapf, with Akira Kobayashi . A bold weight is added into the font family. The character set support is similar to Palatino nova , but Greek and Cyrillic are not available in book weight fonts. The bar in ampersand is only available in book roman font.References (URLs online) Websites (URLs online) A hyperlinked version of this chapter is at Charlotte Braun is a former character from Charles M. Schulz ’s comic strip Peanuts , who first appeared on November 30, 1954. She was originally intended as a female counterpart of the strip’s protagonist, Charlie Brown (hence her self-applied nickname “Good Ol’ Charlotte Braun ). This role was later taken by Sally Brown , Charlie Brown’s little sister. Charlotte also bore a resemblance to Frieda , who appeared several years later. Despite the physical resemblance and similarity of the name, she bore no relation to Charlie Brown (and objected vehemently to the suggestion).In the few comic strips that she

Excerpt: The Fantastic Four is a fictional superhero team appearing in comic books published by Marvel Comics. The group debuted in The Fantastic Four #1 (November 1961), which helped to usher in a new level of verisimilitude in the medium. The Fantastic Four was the first superhero team created by writer-editor Stan Lee and artist and co-plotter Jack Kirby, who developed a collaborative approach to creating comics with this title that they would use from then on. As the first superhero team title produced by Marvel Comics, it formed a cornerstone of the company’s 1960s rise from a small division of a publishing company to a pop-culture conglomerate. The title would go on to showcase the talents of comics creators such as Roy Thomas, John Byrne, Steve Englehart, Walt Simonson, John Buscema, George Perez and Tom DeFalco, and is one of several Marvel titles still in publication since the Silver Age of Comic Books.

The character was created by writer-editor Stan Lee and writer-artist Steve Ditko. He first appeared in Amazing Fantasy #15 (Aug. 1962). Lee and Ditko conceived of the character as an orphan being raised by his Aunt May and Uncle Ben, and as a teenager, having to deal with the normal struggles of youth in addition to those of a costumed crime fighter. Spider-Man’s creators gave him super strength and agility, the ability to cling to most surfaces, shoot spider-webs using devices of his own invention which he called “web-shooters,” and react to danger quickly with his “spider-sense”, enabling him to combat his foes. When Spider-Man first appeared in the early 1960s, teenagers in superhero comic books were usually relegated to the role of sidekick to the protagonist. The Spider-Man series broke ground by featuring Peter Parker, a teenage high school student to whose “self-obsessions with rejection, inadequacy, and loneliness” young readers could relate. Unlike previous teen heroes such as James Buchanan “Bucky” Barnes and Robin, Spider-Man did not benefit from being the protegé of any adult mentors like Capt… More:

A burned-out rocker discovers his doom-struck adolescent fantasies are coming true in this futuristic thriller from Japan. Ever since his career as a musician crashed and burned, Kenji (Toshiaki Karasawa) has been making a living working at a quick-stop store and living with his family. One day, police officers stop by and ask Kenji about a family of regular customers who’ve gone missing, though Kenji has hardly noticed their absence. When Kenji visits the home of the missing family, he notices a strange piece of graffiti on the wall, and is startled when he remembers it was the symbol of a club of teenage misfits he belonged to years ago. Kenji and his friends in the club created an amateur comic book that imagined an apocalyptic future in which strange illnesses and bands of armed insurgents threatened to destroy the world. As a wave of unexplained murders sweeps through the city, overseas the events of Kenji’s old comic are beginning to come true; a fanatical cult known as Friend found the book and under the leadership of Sadakiyo they’ve made it their business to turn it into a reality, and now Kenji and his old friends have to infiltrate the cult and stop them before it’s too late. 20-seiki shonen (aka 20th Century Boys) was adapted from a best selling manga by Naoki Urasawa and became a major box office hit in Japan. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

This two-hour release traces Hancock’s early career, starting as a 17 year old in a Bristol Variety show called A La Carte for the BBC Forces Programme and charts his rise through shows such as Variety bandbox and Happy-go-Lucky (where he first read words written by Galton and Simpson). This is the story of his rise to success told from recordings, scripts and press cuttings. It is the background against which the famous performances stand out – the story of a comic actor who could never believe that he really was one of the greatest of his time. The programme is presented by Denis Norden with contributions from Paul Merton.
