Obama, McCain, and the Arts

I wasn’t expecting any questions in the last presidential debate to address the candidates’ arts policies, because, let’s face it - the state of the arts doesn’t affect most Americans on a daily basis. People want to hear about issues that hit close to home, like the economy and health care. Thus, funding [...]

Comment on Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid by Alexander Coleman

Thank you, Hedwig, about the Cool Hand Luke piece and the nicknames. I figured "inch" would be ironic. The Hungry Inch has a definite ring to it! I have never understood Kael's criticism of the film's supposedly cavalier treatment of shooting Bolivians. Butch Cassidy tells Sundance in the moment of truth that he's never actually shot anyone before. That means, anyone , of any race. The scene is inherently about the humanity of the Bolivians the two outlaws are about to gun down. The awful scream of one of the men drowns out the usual medley of the film, singularly reverberating. For what seems like an endless period of time (mere seconds), the camera lingers on Butch's distraught face: the weight of his action has just hit him. The concern of sexism is at best highly flawed as well, especially since the interplay between the two men and the woman is treated as a thematically rich legerdemain unto itself, with the woman actually given the role of teacher, caregiver and metaphorical life source, despite the nonsense pushed by the two fellas.

Concert Review: Sam Phillips - Sept. 12, 2008

uncategorized

Sam Phillips Club Café – Pittsburgh, PA Sept. 12, 2008 And now, 150 words on Sam Phillips’ first performance in Pittsburgh in 15 years: Spellbinding. Opening song on electric guitar, solitary at first, distortion filtered through a cloud of gauze. An evening of shuffling acoustics and plaintive ballads, odes to sadness, tear it all down. Later, a cappella alongside [...]

Comment on Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid by filmdr

Now that Coleman has replied to Kael, I went back to check out the review and found that Kael definitely makes one point and only suggests the other: "Maybe we're supposed to be charmed when this affable, loquacious outlaw Butch and his silent, `dangerous' buddy Sundance blow up trains, but how are we supposed to feel when they go off to Bolivia, sneer at the country, and start shooting up poor Bolivians?" When it comes to possible charge of sexism, Kael quotes the schoolteacher Etta (Katherine Ross) at length: "I'm twenty-six, and I'm single, and I teach school, and that's the bottom of the pit." Etta goes on to say that the two outlaws give her her only excitement, but she won't watch them die. "I'll miss that scene if you don't mind." Then Kael writes "It's clear who is at the bottom of the pit, and it isn't those frontier schoolteachers, whose work was honest." So maybe that crack was referring to Butch and Sundance, or perhaps the movie audience for suffering through the film. Kael finishes the review with "[Newman] plays the public image of himself (as an aging good guy) . . . Yet, hit or no, I think what this picture represents is finished. Butch and Sundance will probably be fine for a TV series, which is what I mean by finished."
