FilmInk Presents
September 18, 2018 Review, Theatrical, This Week Leave a Comment
…an incredibly entertaining, if derivative around the edges, family-friendly fantasy flick…
Cain Noble-Davies
Director: Eli Roth
Owen Vaccaro, Jack Black, Cate Blanchett
Distributor: eOne
Worth: $15.50
FilmInk rates movies out of $20 — the score indicates the amount we believe a ticket to the movie to be worth
This has to be the biggest cinematic swerve of the year. Eli Roth, the neo-exploitation devotee who brought us such family-friendly(!) features as Cabin Fever, Hostel and even the nauseating Death Wish from earlier this same year, is at the helm of what could easily be mistaken for a lost Goosebumps sequel. Is he selling out or just trying to do something different? Well, strangely enough, he doesn't seem to be doing either. Not only does this manage to stand out nicely all on its own, it actually fits in closer with Roth's aesthetic than it would seem at first glance.
Jack Black as yet another eccentric uncle brings that same quirkiness that made his take on R. L. Stine so fun, but gives the warlock enough of his own self-consciously pompous identity to stand out. Opposite Cate Blanchett, the rapid-fire ribbings they throw at each other makes for some nice witty fun. And then there's Owen Vaccaro as the erudite lead, in his first film without a parent in the name and that actually merits watching. Between the three of them, the film is kept on sturdy ground throughout all the whimsy, only for Kyle MacLachlan as the villain to give a surprisingly unnerving performance. For a family film, this is pretty intense and it's not just him who has that effect.
While cinematographer Rogier Stoffers (School Of Rock, Disturbia, Death Wish) fills the frame with golden-tinged wonder, the innards of the story give way to an obsidian heart. Beneath the veneer of living chairs and crapping topiaries (a bit of Roth's juvenile pandering still lives from the looks of it), there is a story about blood rituals, raising the dead and genocide. Cut from a familiarly murky cloth, but snipped from a more innocent time. A time where interests in the more macabre side of the world likely began to blossom, and where an understanding of what is considered 'normal' and 'strange' made the latter that much more appealing.
Because regardless of how the 'normal' world tries to shut out the darker elements, they're still there. Whether it's the pains of grief, the woes of exclusion or the horrors of war, no amount of shielding stops these things from existing. And in the world of this film, they carry the same mortal burden as demons, evil witches and murderous jack-o'-lanterns. All of the spookiness that makes for great Halloween horror, but with a learnedness that shows maybe the world could use some more strange. Maybe we needn't be so scared of what makes us uncomfortable. Hell, there might even be some fun in it for the right people. It sums up Roth's entire schtick in the most appealing way yet.
The House with A Clock in its Walls not only fits in astoundingly well with Eli Roth's larger aesthetic, it's also an incredibly entertaining, if derivative around the edges, family-friendly fantasy flick. One that isn't afraid of the darkness and invites us along for the ride.

The Linnaean Gardens of Uppsala
Heritage trees
Our gardens and plants
Uppsala University The Linnaean Gardens ... About the Museum Our work
The Linnaean Gardens of Uppsala's mission includes exhibiting a well-managed and clearly labelled plant collection that is documented in a globally accessible database. The composition and arrangement of the plant collection at Linnaeus' Hammarby and the Linnaeus Garden, aim to reflect their historic value. The Botanical Garden should primarily grow plants from natural populations, of use for teaching within the University's courses, and for educational actities for preschools and schools. Careful labelling of all plants facilitates the use for teachers and researchers.
The rich variety of the plant collection is maintained through international exchange of seeds and donations of plant material from research expeditions. The latter source means that the plant collection also reflects current research at Uppsala University. An additional important role for the gardens is in the preservation of biological diversity.
The more than 9,000 species of plants are for the enjoyment and benefit of everyone, including interested members of the public. The Linnaean Gardens are an important destinations for Uppsala residents and visitors, who are attracted by exhibitions, guided tours and special events.
The Linnaean Gardens of Uppsala is a historically important part of Uppsala University. Preserving of the scientific heritage of Carl Linnaeus and his successor Carl Peter Thunberg is a vital mission for the Gardens.
The gardens provide plant material (seeds, plants and plant parts) that is needed for research projects at various departments. Researchers can also grow their own research material, both outdoors and in a research glasshouse.
It is not just botanists who use the gardens – earwig catching, studies of hoverflies, and psychology research also occurs here.
Seed exchange with other botanic gardens
A botanic garden grows thousands of plants that are not available at a normal garden centre. By exchanging seeds with more than 600 other botanic gardens all over the world, The Botanical Garden can obtain the rare plants needed for research and teaching. Many of these plants have never before been grown in Sweden.
The Botanical Garden's own seed catalogue is called Semina Selecta (selected seeds). The catalogue itself has been published regularly since 1858 but the exchange of seeds goes even further back in time. Other botanic gardens can order seeds that our staff have collected from the wild or from cultivated plants from Semina Selecta. Seeds from approximately 1,000 different species of plants are dried and threshed clean each winter. About 50–100 species are chosen for inclusion in the seed catalogue.
In exchange, The Botanical Garden receives seed catalogues from all of the world's botanic gardens. The staff orders the species they want to try cultivating, both outside and in the greenhouses. Some of the seeds are redistributed to various research projects that request plant seeds through The Botanical Garden.
Seed exchange is just one of the ways The Botanical Garden obtains plant material. Many plants are brought by researchers at Uppsala University who conduct field work abroad and bring home seeds and cuttings. Private individuals also donate individual plants or whole collections to The Botanical Garden, for example the cactus collection is based on a donation.
NB! The seed exchange is only open to other botanical gardens.
Requests should be made before April 2023 at botanical.garden@botan.uu.se
Please restrict yourself to 20 seed portions.
Please note that some seeds are available in very limited amounts (sometimes a single portion only).
The Botanical Garden of Uppsala University is a member of the International Plant Exchange Network of Botanic Gardens (IPEN) and recognises the legal and moral obligations imposed on its work by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).
Seed is supplied under the conditions that
* the material is used for the common good in areas of research, species conservation and education.
* information on the material is appropriately stored, and the connection between the information and the material is maintained.
* the material or any products arising from it is not commercialised or passed to third parties outside IPEN without prior consent from CBD authorities in the country of origin.

Students in the Linnaean Gardens
About a thousand students from both Uppsala University and the Swedish Agricultural University visit The Botanical Garden each year as part of their courses. The students may be learning about botany, pharmacology, historically significant plants or ecology, with a view to becoming natural scientists, apothecaries, agronomists, foresters or landscape architects. The garden is also much frequented by schools and preschools.
Of course, you do not need to be studying to visit The Botanical Garden. Why not sunbathe, play boule, revise, or just sit under a tree and enjoy the view, scents, and sounds?
The Botanical Garden, The Linnaeus Garden and Linnaeus' Hammarby form The Linnaean Gardens of Uppsala as a subdepartment of the Music and Museums division of Uppsala University. It is managed by the University with a financial contribution from Uppsala Municipality.
The Linnaean Gardens of Uppsala have an advisory steering group with representatives from Uppsala University and Uppsala Municipality.
Uppsala University: music and museums
Uppsala University's administrative section Music and Museums contains, in addition to the Linnaean Gardens of Uppsala, the Museum of Evolution, Gustavianum, The Royal Academic Orchestra, Uppsala University Jazz Orchestra, and many choirs.

Tryst with Politics: An Indian Muslim at Crossroads of Partition
By Mushtaq Ul Haq Ahmad Sikander, New Age Islam 26 October 2021 The Partition of the Subcontinent Is an Open Wound That Still Continues To Hurt Main Points: 1. The struggle of Indian Independence is a tumultuous event in the contemporary history. 2. Hashim analyses the dynamics of Congress becoming unpopular among Indian Muslims in the aftermath of 1937 elections . 3. The book is an important source for anyone who is interested in the contemporary politics of India and given its essence it deserves to be translated into English. ---- Meri Siyasi Sarguzasht (My Political Memoir) Author: Dr Muhammad Hashim Kidwai Compiled by Dr Saleem Kidwai Publisher: Applied Books, New Delhi, India Year of Publication: 2021 Pages: 104 + 32 (Colour Photos Album) Price: Rs 200 ---- Autobiographies of important people become essential to understand the developments and trends of an era. If the era is one of great political turmoil, struggle and conflict then autobiographies of people existing in that era simply help in engaging and analysing the era factually. The struggle of Indian Independence is a tumultuous event in the contemporary history, so is the partition of the subcontinent an open wound that still continues to hurt. Understanding the reasons of the partition and Muslim malaise in India, the primary sources like autobiographies become essential. Dr Muhammad Hashim Kidwai, ex Member of Indian Parliament was an eminent educationist, politician and writer. His two volume autobiography in English "The Life and Times of a Nationalist" has already been published. This Urdu volume compiled by his son Dr Saleem Kidwai documents his life till 1944. It is an incomplete autobiography however it deals with his life as a student, his tryst with politics and other related issues. Hashim Kidwai's uncle Maulana Abdul Majid Daryabadi was a great scholar of Islam, writer, theologian, journalist and editor, so his influence on young Hashim was inevitable and immense. Further his youth was a period of political turmoil and last days of British Empire in India coupled with the raging Second World War. So these dynamic events casted their shadows on the impressionable mind of young Hashim. He was drawn to the politics of Indian National Congress and composite nationalism as compared to the divisive politics of Muslim League. He embedded hatred against the British colonialists. The meeting with nationalists like Maulana Muhammad Ali and versatile orator like Syed Attaullah Shah Bukhari added to his zeal of nationalism. His acquaintance as a child with Maulana Muhammad Ali deeply impacted and influenced him. Hashim describes his participation in politics and being punished for it at school, then being a member of Students Federation in college, while taking part in the boycott of foreign goods and the Swadeshi movement. Further the atrocities against the Satyagrahis by police made his blood boil, instilling hatred against the British government. Hashim has some words of appreciation for the British colonialists too because they did not stoop low to persecute him, despite the fact that he was antagonistic to their policies and government (P-75). To add insult to injury his father was a senior official of the British government. Something that is inconceivable in today's India because political rivals not only wait for an opportunity to vanquish their opponents but even the government has snooped so low that they crackdown every voice of dissent. So if we start contrasting the colonial government was tolerant towards dissent and criticism whereas democratic clique is abhorrent and allergic towards it. Hashim analyses the dynamics of Congress becoming unpopular among Indian Muslims in the aftermath of 1937 elections when provincial governments of Congress were formed in many states. He describes that Hindu revivalism surged when Congress became part of the provincial assemblies and Muslim League exploited the situation, hence profiting from the same. Hashim agrees that Congress provincial governments did commit a lot of discrimination against Muslims and even against Urdu language (P-66), thus the politics of Muslim League became popular. So this tussle between the politics of Congress and Muslim League did not remain confined to political stages only, but families got divided on this basis. A father was supporting Congress whereas his son believed in ideology of Muslim League. Further the Muslims supporting Congress were alleged and described as enemies of Islam by Muslim League. This divide also impacted the student politics in Lucknow and ultimately resulted in Muslims getting divided between supporting and opposing Congress and Muslim League. Also documented are the details about the Second World War and Quit India movement and how their dynamics played on the people of India. Hashim upholds the Congress stalwart leader Rafi Ahmad Kidwai as his political mentor because along with teaching he also indulged in practical politics later on. He also describes the Shia-Sunni riot that took place in Lucknow in 1939 and how Maulana Abul Kalam Azad and Allama Inayatullah Mashriqi came to pacify the warring factions and resolving the issue. This book becomes essential documentary proof in vernacular Urdu about the happenings in and around Lucknow in particular and among Indian Muslims in general at a crucial phase of history. We must congratulate Dr Saleem Kidwai for compiling and publishing this important work of his late father. The book is an important source for anyone who is interested in the contemporary politics of India and given its essence it deserves to be translated into English. Although the book leaves many questions unanswered but the details that it documents compensates for the same. ----- M.H.A.Sikander is Writer-Activist based in Srinagar, Kashmir.

Using Fluorescence Imaging for Improved Outcomes in Skin Cancer Surgery
University of Rochester Professor Michael Giacomelli recently received NIH funding for his project, 'Fluorescence microscopy for evaluation of Mohs surgical margins'. His research objective is to enable real-time evaluation of pathology in skin tissue with an order of magnitude reduction in processing time as compared to frozen sections.
The most common forms of cancer worldwide are basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Mohs surgery is a widely used technique for the treatment of nonmelanoma skin cancer that obtains extremely low recurrence rates by imaging tissue as it is removed from the body to ensure complete resection. Mohs Micrographic Surgery, also called Mohs Surgery, is a specialised technique to remove non-melanoma skin cancers.
Nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is primarily diagnosed by histologic analysis of skin biopsy specimens in kerosene sections, which takes days to weeks before a formal diagnosis is made. Two-photon fluorescence microscopy (TPFM) has the potential for point-of-care diagnosis of NMSC and other dermatologic conditions, which could allow diagnosis and treatment at the same site.
Professor Giacomelli developed a way to image multiple depth slices without frozen section processing' by implementing two-photon imaging, widely used in the neurosciences to noninvasively image slices at different depths in living brains. The lab team's research has adapted these fluorescence imaging technologies with rapid tissue labelling and image processing technologies. This enables real-time assessment of pathology in skin tissue. processing time compared to frozen sections has been reduced by an order of magnitude. The data collection time is further reduced using the lower-noised silicon photomultiplier detectors developed by Giacomelli's group.
2-photon fluorescence microscopy can provide rapid point-of-care diagnosis of non-melanoma skin cancer through real-time imaging of fresh tissue biopsies.
Toptica Photonics' femtosecond laser system - FemtoFiber ultra 920 - chosen for the next iteration of the Giacomelli lab's microscope is a possible solution for applications in non-linear microscopy like two-photon excitation of fluorescent proteins and SHG based contrast mechanisms. With an emission wavelength of 920 nm, it provides the highest peak power for imaging with green and yellow fluorescent protein markers (GFP, YFP) commonly used in pathology, neurosciences and other laser-related biophotonic disciplines. Researchers appreciate the usability of the system since it is both, maintenance free and very compact.

I was booed at work last week. No, I didn't write a crummy column to warrant such behavior, nor did I get a poor performance review. Actually, during the month of October, being "booed" is a good thing. It means a special Halloween spirit paid me a visit, leaving me tasty treats and festive holiday décor.
Now it's my turn to pay the boo forward, so I put together this illuminating home décor project. It would make a fun hostess gift if you're attending a Halloween brouhaha this year, or it would look nice sitting on your step on Halloween night, lighting the way for all of the ghouls and goblins who visit.
Step 1: Select a lantern. I picked up this lantern for around $6 at IKEA.
Step 2: Clean the glass. You'll be adhering vinyl, so it helps to have a clean surface.
Step 3: Select your vinyl image and trim it to size. Below, you'll find a list fun holiday vinyl options. This particular piece is from Stampin' Up!
Step 4: Measure your vinyl to fit, using a pen to mark the edges of the lantern where you'll need to do some final trimming.
Step 5: Gently remove the vinyl from its paper backing.
Step 6: Adhere the image to the glass, using your finger to ensure the vinyl is secure and free of air bubbles.
Step 7: Gently peel back paper to reveal spider.
Step 8: Since this is a black widow, I added a little red bling to her belly.
Step 9: Not wanting the word "spooky" to go to waste, I also adhered it to my lantern, wrapping it around a corner.
Step 10: Insert a candle and let the creepy-crawly fun begin!
Do you want to spread your own boo cheer. Paper Crafts magazine, also located in the office where I work, has the boo message availale to download on their website. Don't be a BOOger—print copies and let the creepy fun begin today!


The following are highlights from twenty years of Getty Foundation grants for the conservation of some of the world's most significant historic buildings, in the United States and around the world.
Designed in 1935 as a vacation home for Pittsburgh department store magnate Edgar J. Kaufmann, Fallingwater is widely regarded as one of Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpieces, with its dramatic cantilevered terraces soaring over the waterfull that inspired its composition. Over the years, moisture, structural stress, and the elements took their toll on this National Historic Landmark. In response, the Getty Foundation awarded a three-year implementation grant to conserve the building and its Wright-designed interior furnishings. The conservation program including training for college interns and Fallingwater's maintenance staff in conservation techniques for 20th century building materials. The project built on early research and planning work funded by a Getty grant.
Located on the Tohono O'odham Reservation outside of Tucson, Arizona, the Mission San Xavier del Bac is designated as a National Historic Landmark and is considered to be one of the finest surviving examples of 18th century Spanish colonial architecture. Getty support enabled careful planning and analysis, followed by a full conservation of the building's exterior that involved training of local community members to ensure long-term maintenance.
Save America's Treasures, Washington, D.C.
In 1999 the Getty provided a major grant for the Save America's Treasures program for the preservation planning of historic buildings and sites across the country. The program was a partnership between the White House Millennium Council and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Projects supported through Save America's Treasures included Harriet Tubman's home in Auburn, New York; the Angel Island Immigration Station in San Francisco, California; and Gustav Stickley's home in Morris Plains, New Jersey, among others.
The 14th century Baltit Fort is an important relic of the historic Silk Road that connected China to Northern India and Europe. Despite its survival for hundreds of years as residence of the Mirs of Hunza, the ruling family of the region, the monument faced natural decay and the pressures of increasing urbanization after it was abandoned in the mid-20th century. Getty support through a partnership with the Aga Khan Trust allowed conservation of the building, blending modern technology with traditional local techniques, and resulted in the culturally and environmentally sensitive reuse of the site as a museum and community center. The project was recognized with a UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Award of Excellence in 2004.
Centered in the UNESCO World Heritage City of Quito, the Spanish colonial Basilica and Convent of La Merced was constructed in the 16th century with major repairs in the early 18th century following damage from a major earthquake. In 1990 the Getty awarded a grant to the Curio Provincial de la Merced for stabilization of the church's bell-tower and for a survey of the historic fabric. This grant was followed in 1993 with a project implementation grant to the Fundación Caspicara for stabilization and conservation of the Basilica and Convent. Project work included structural stabilization, consolidation of the roofs, consolidation of the exterior and interior stucco, repair of the floors, and restoration of doors and windows. On-the-job training of local workers and students in historic preservation formed an important part of the work that was carried out with Getty funds.
The Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation, a public charitable trust responsible for development projects in Udaipur, received two grants to support conservation planning for the City Palace Complex. Begun in 1559, the building complex is a consummate model of medieval Rajput architecture combined with later Mughal additions. Despite these various layers, the fortress exhibits a uniformity of design with its stone carvings, cupolas, and projecting balconies, making it one of the most majestic structures in the state of Rajasthan. The two Getty grants were used to address earlier piecemeal renovations and produce an overall conservation strategy for the site. The conservation plan resulted in exemplary documentation and emergency structural stabilization work. The grants also enabled the development of a plan for future use given the high visitor volume at the site. Finally, the project involved training for architectural students in the preparation of the working drawings and a risk management workshop for the historic site managers and staff of the City Palace Complex. In February 2017, Living Heritage of Mewar was published, forming the culmination of Foundation grants that supported conservation planning for the City Palace Complex.
The Nagaur-Ahhichatragarh fort in Rajasthan, near Jodhpur is one of the finest examples of Rajput-Mughal architecture. Dating primarily from the 16th—18th centuries, this large fortified complex of palaces, elaborate gardens, temples and a mosque had fallen into ruin. With the help of a series of Getty grants, the Mehrangarh Trust oversaw the multi-year conservation of the fort, using both traditional building methods and modern scientific techniques. Most recently Getty funds enabled students and faculty from the Courtauld Institute to participate in the conservation of the wall paintings at the fort, a project that concluded in March 2012. This project focused on wall paintings in the Sheesh Mahal, or Palace of Mirrors, which are among the most important examples of the fine, elongated figural style characteristic of Nagaur. In 2002 the Getty-supported conservation work was recognized with a UNESCO Award for Excellence in Cultural Heritage Conservation, and in 2013 the project was a finalist for the Aga Khan Award for Architecture.

Located at the foot of Mount Sinai at the site where tradition holds the Ten Commandments were given to Moses, the 6th-century Monastery of St. Catherine's is still an active monastic center and a rare surviving example of an early Byzantine basilica. A World Heritage site, St. Catherine's is also renowned for its outstanding collection of early Christian icons and manuscripts. Getty funding enabled an international team of conservators, technicians, and apprentices to conserve the mosaics located in the magnificent central apse of the monastery's church and the Chapel of the Burning Bush. The conservation of the mosaics grew out of a conservation assessment of the mosaics by the Getty Conservation Institute, and an earlier grant-funded project that had developed conservation recommendations for the entire site. These projects provided an opportunity for the Getty programs to work together, culminating in the acclaimed Getty Museum exhibition of icons and manuscripts from the monastery, Holy Image, Hallowed Ground: Icons from Sinai.
A World Heritage Site, Santa Maria Maggiore has been one of Christianity's most important religious landmarks since its founding by Pope Sixtus III in the 5th century. Both the 5th and 13th century mosaics are among the most beautiful works in the history of art. Threatened by water infiltration as well as the results of earlier restorations, the mosaics were in severe need of conservation. Foundation grants supported analysis by a team of conservators, scientists, and art historians; laboratory analysis and onsite testing; photographic documentation; and the development and implementation of the conservation plan. The team's work provided a model for the conservation field, which was useful to the Getty Conservation Institute's mosaic project in Prague.
From 2000-2009, a series of three Getty grants supported the conservation of the late 16th century Scala Santa, a Vatican extra-territorial property in the Lateran complex in Rome that houses the ancient marble staircase by tradition held to be the steps Christ ascended to receive his judgment by Pontius Pilate. The first two Getty grants were directed towards the conservation of a fresco cycle within the building by Flemish artist Paul Bril in the San Silvestro Chapel. Not only did the treatment reveal the original paintings in astonishing brilliance, the project greatly enhanced existing knowledge of Bril's work and produced a model conservation documentation method. A final grant supported the publication of these results. Using the Getty grants as leverage, the Patrons of the Arts for the Vatican Museums secured in 2013 the $3 million needed to complete the full conservation of the remaining Scala Santa complex. This will allow for the continued study and use of the site by the more than 2 million people who visit it each year.
For nearly a century, Sir Ernest Shackleton's hut at Cape Royds in Antarctica has endured one of the harshest climates in the world. Assembled in 1908 during the legendary Nimrod Expedition, it is one of the few wooden buildings remaining intact on the continent and an icon of the heroic age of Antarctic exploration. The building was designed to withstand extreme weather conditions as the team's base and laboratory only for the duration of Shackleton's expedition. However, the building, with thousands of the expedition's artifacts remaining, still stands and was in urgent need of conservation. Since 1987, during the short polar summers, preservation specialists have worked to develop a comprehensive conservation plan to save the building. The Getty awarded an implementation grant to the New Zealand-based Antarctic Heritage Trust in 2004 for the conservation of the hut and its contents, as well as educational programs at Gateway Antarctica, a research facility at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand.
The Postepowa (Progressive) Synagogue, commonly known as the Tempel, is the only surviving Reform synagogue, and the only intact 19th-century synagogue, in Poland. Moreover, as a result of the Holocaust, it is one of only two surviving synagogues in Cracow. Prior to 1939, Cracow was of central importance to one of the largest Jewish communities in Eastern Europe. The Tempel was built in 1860-62 in an eclectic style, incorporating elements of Romanesque and Gothic Revival styles, as well as Neo-classical and Neo-Renaissance styles. Remarkable for its very survival, the Tempel had already begun playing a pivotal role in the revival and restoration of what was formerly the Jewish neighborhood of Cracow. Getty support in 1992 provided project identification assistance, to document the building and undertake an initial conservation assessment led by the World Monuments Fund. WMF completed the assessment and then finished the conservation and stabilization of the foundation and exterior envelope of the building, followed by full conservation of the historic interior supported by a second Getty grant.
King Henry III began construction on Westminster Abbey in the 13th century, at which time the Cosmati pavement in front of the high altar in the church Sacrarium was also introduced. Named after a Roman family of skilled architects, craftsmen and mosaic workers, the Cosmati technique was fashionable in the 12th and 13th centuries and featured small shapes of colored stones and glass inserted into a stone base in intricate, geometric patterns. The flooring is of outstanding artistic and historic significance as one of the last few extant and in situ examples of cosmati work in England, and has served as the site upon which royal coronation takes place since its completion. Unfortunately, due to its age and delicate condition, the pavement had rarely been visible and was seriously deteriorated. A Foundation grant supported the stabilization and cleaning of the floor, so that the protective covering could be removed more frequently, allowing more visitors to view the mosaic work. Getty funds also supported conservation internship opportunities for students and informational lectures for the public.

Here is an interview with me in the Onion AV Club about our screening last week of Versus. Watching it again, I noticed a whole bunch of awesome things I had forgotten about, not least of which was Kitamura's bizarre notion of narrative structure: There is virtually no plot until the second half of the film, when the bad guy enters with a delivery of exposition. Then it gets right back to the interdimensional zombie/yakuza fighting.
Kitamura's innovation struck me the next night, when I made the mistake of watching The Fast and the Furious 4: Fast and Furious, which is supposed to be about car chases, but contains far too few of those, opting instead for endless, lengthy dialogue scenes that contain nothing but exposition. For a movie like that, how much do you need, really?


Bleachers is Jack Antonoff's baby. You might not have heard of Jack Antonoff, but you'll know his work. He was once in Steel Train, he's one third of pop rockers Fun. and he's co-written some huge pop smashes, including Taylor Swift's recent banger 'Out Of The Woods'.
This is pure summery indie pop. It's The Replacements, Bruce Springsteen, Nirvana's lighter moments and Fleetwood Mac all thrown in together.
Because all their tunes make it feel like you're in the middle of summer, cruising down the highway in some impossibly fast car in the middle of the road trip of your life. It'll never happen to any of us, but it's nice to know what it would sound like.
Sure you can, 'Rollercoaster' is below for you. Their album Strange Desire has been out in the States for a while, but it's not out in the UK until later this year.


One of the big reasons that I believe that it should be legal is because it would bring in more money for our government. This is mostly because we would be able to tax the substances just as we can alcohol and tobacco. This would be allowed because with it becoming legalized, the government is able to set the prices, or at least set a tax on it if it is supplied privately. It is projected that if marijuana alone were to become legalized that the government could make at least 7.8 million dollars a year in taxes. It would also help decrease government funding by being able to reduce the cost of imprisonment and enforcement. In 1992, 58% of inmates in federal prisons were serving for some sort of drug charge (Chambliss, 1994). The government could save billions of dollars each year by not having to support these felons. Another added bonus would be all the benefits that it would provide the welfare program. This reducing of an illegal market would raise our welfare. This would allow more money for certain programs that help our needy in society. Between the tax money tax would be made, money saved through less imprisonment, and more welfare benefits, I think there should be no doubt that, from at least an economical stand point, drugs should be legalized.
Many people think that it is great that it would help our economy, but would people actually switch to government drugs and would not hurt our moral beliefs. More than likely people would switch to the government drugs just because it would be safer. For one, if the government distributes it, it would not be illegal and therefore would make less risk for users, such as going to jail. It is also safer because the drugs would not be cut with potential toxins. In addition, the strengths of the substances would be closely monitored to make it less likely for an individual to overdose. From an ethical standpoint, if drugs were legalized, there would be a dramatic decline in crime not only in the U.S., but also around the world. Being involved with drugs is very dangerous, and that is part of the reasons why costs are so high. However, most underground lords would be distinguished if the government were to start selling it. This is because of the less risk, and the cheaper prices. Crime going down is not just because of this but it has already happened around the world. Just as it was with the repeal of the prohibition act, and legalization of marijuana in the Netherlands, crime went down, it is a proven fact. Another quick fact for those that say it is not ethical because it can harm you; Marijuana has been proven less dangerous than both alcohol and tobacco.
