Mary Singleton Senior Center, Jacksonville, Florida. Ted Pappas.

From Writer Nick Pappas:

Hi, all. I write jokes for TV, but not long ago I was a financial analyst. I had my Series 7.

For those who say Fran Drescher or any SAG-AFTRA member should stop whining and appreciate what they have, let me give you a lesson in capitalism.

The WGA and SAG-AFTRA are dealing mainly with publicly traded companies, companies that have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders. Netflix, for example, has 88.21% of their shares held by institutional investors - banks, hedge funds, insurance companies, etc.

This morning, Netflix stock hit a 52-week high. They made institutional investors alone $106+ billion dollars this year.

$106 BILLION.

Fran Drescher, for her entire life, is worth $25 million.

It's easy to get mad at Ted Sarandos or David Zaslav or Bob Iger, but they get paid so much because their only job is to make rich people richer.

The WGA and SAG-AFTRA aren't fighting against rich CEOs. They're fighting against an entire system incentivized to exploit workers.

A-list actors get paid so much because they're worth it. Someone has done the math. You don't have a poster of Bob Iger hanging up in your room. You don't binge watch a show with David Zaslav. You don't go to Comic Con to meet faceless billionaires.

You pay to see stars.

Not to mention that, in reality, 87% of SAG-AFTRA union members don't qualify for health insurance.

How much do they have to make to qualify? $26,000 a year.

These are working class people, just like you.

The wealthiest 1% hold 53% of ALL stocks. The top 10% hold 88.6% of ALL stocks. Every dollar these media companies don't give to a writer or actor, they hand to millionaires and billionaires.

When you say actors and writers are spoiled, you're on the wrong side of history.

The chances you take: Chapter 16

Pairing: Aaron Hotchner x single mom!reader

A/N: I wanted to punch that mf SO bad while writing this. This series is almost coming to an end and I don't know what to do with my life after it's over. There will be two more official chapters after this one, but I think there will be at least 2 more related one shots coming later on.

Chapter 16: Family

“Can we go see mommy now?” the little girl asks from the backseat. Ted doesn’t have a proper seat for her in the back, but the trip isn’t long so she’ll just have to sit on the regular seat. He knows it’s a bad idea, if a cop would see her sitting like that, he’d get a fine really quickly. But she’s short enough to not reach the window properly beside her, so the odds of anyone seeing her are small. 

It’s been a couple of hours now, and he can’t get her to shut up for a moment. He’s tried everything: he even got her a new Elsa toy from the store before picking her up. She was playing with for a moment but even then she’s too loud for his liking. And now, for the past hour, she’s been asking to ‘go see mommy’. He’s tried to bribe her off of that thought with ice cream, but even that doesn’t seem to do the trick. 

“No, Ella” he tries not to shout at her, but he can’t quite keep his voice as calm as he’d like to. “For the hundredth time, no, we’re not going to go see mom yet. I want to show you something first”. 

“But I want to go home to mommy” he hears her voice crack. Please don’t cry, please don’t cry, he thinks, knowing that he will lose his cool if the kid’ll have a temper tantrum right now. But the girl falls quiet instead and it feels like the best thing in the world right now; it gives him a chance to think clearly for a moment. 

He couldn’t believe how easy it was for him to pick up Ella from the daycare. He knew that there were people sick and therefore a good chance for the temporary teachers to not know the kids nor their parents. Plus, he is her dad. He should have every right to see his daughter whenever he pleases, no matter what her mom might say. She can’t take that right away from him. 

And Ella clearly needs a father in her life. She’s been spoiled rotten, she needs discipline and she needs to learn what she’s expected of from early on. And clearly she’s not being taught that currently. She’s way too impatient and loud, she needs to learn how to contain herself. He should have intervened a long time ago. 

“I want mommy” Ella sniffles silently and Ted can feel his grip tighten around the steering wheel. 

“I said no” he snaps and the girl jumps at the change of volume. “You are my daughter and I need to show you what family really is like. Only after that we’re going to go home and tell mommy what a great time you had with me and that you want to be more with daddy”. 

It makes the little girl confused. She doesn’t have a daddy. And she loves mommy. And granma and pappa. Mommy has always said that families are different and that’s normal. That’s why her best friend at daycare, Alice, has two moms. And Jack has a dad but he also loves aunty Jess. 

“But” Ella tries to argue but her protest is cut short. 

“Ella, I said no” the man says. His words aren’t mean, but his voice startles her again and it makes her bottom lip quiver. 

Ted sighs, there’s more work on her patience than what he originally thought. But thankfully, he’s almost at the summerhouse. There’s a couple of miles left and the surrounding fields remind him of his own childhood. His own father used to take him here when he was a kid, and he’s always wanted the same with his own kid. 

He never enjoyed it as a kid, as his father was always so demanding and denied him of fun, just so he could enjoy some peace and quiet. But now that he has his own daughter with him, it’s his turn. Ella’s still young, but he can teach her, she’ll be able to do more soon enough. 

In few minutes, the car comes to a stop and Ted gets out of the car. The cold air feels even harsher after getting used to the warmth inside the car, he’s never been a fan of the winter. He zips up his coat and goes to open the backseat door. Ted unbuckles Ella’s seatbelt and turns then towards the house. 

The car is much higher than mommy’s car, it takes a moment for her to gain the courage to jump down from it. She stumbles once her feet hit the ground and the gravel on the ground hurts her hands. Ella sniffles silently, trying to quiet her tears, but despite her effort, she’s too shaken up to fight them. She starts crying, shaken up from the fall and missing her mom. 

“Get in here already” Ted snaps, holding the front door open. He’s more than eager to get away from the cold. But the harsh tone does not get Ella to get inside any faster, quite the opposite. She freezes on her feet, tears running down her red cheeks. “I said get inside” he repeats but there’s no change in the girl. 

With a huff, Ted makes his way to Ella and picks up the girl on his arm. But he makes no effort in comforting the girl, he only carries her inside. 

But it’s not long after the front door is closed when he hears a distant sound of a car. It gets his attention as no one really comes around here this time of the year. He looks outside from the kitchen window, annoyed more than anything. Ella’s sniffling quietly on the big armchair while curled up tightly for warmth, as the house is still cold inside; it hasn’t been used in months. 

“What now?” Ted mutters to himself and goes to the front door as he sees a black car pull up to the front. 

Hotch turns off the car. He and Derek share a look before getting out. Both have put on their kevlars underneath the thick winter coats, just in case. Although nothing in their profile suggests him being a threat to them. But sometimes, even with a precise profile, people can be unpredictable, and the agents are rather well prepared than regretting it later on. Both make sure their guns are ready and reachable, but with a small child possibly on the line, the weapons stay holstered for now. 

As the men get out of the car, the front door opens and both men freeze at the steps, assessing the situation that’s to come. They see the man they have been looking for on the door way. 

“What do you want?” Ted shouts “You’re not welcome here” he adds once he recognizes the men in question. 

“Ted, where’s Ella?” Aaron asks sternly. 

“What’s it to you? I am her father, I have every right to have her” he says, but then goes to call for Ella. She slowly climbs down from the chair and walks to him. “See, she’s happy here. Isn’t that right?” He nudges the girl's shoulder and it only makes her cry harder. 

“Does she look like she’s having a good time Ted?” It’s Derek’s turn to speak up. Both of the agents take slow, careful steps towards the porch. Derek’s attention is on Ted while Aaron tries to reach Ella’s eyes, hoping that she’ll recognize him and feel safer. “Come on, man. I know you’re mad at (y/n), but don’t take it out on her”.

Ella sniffles and looks up to the man next to her. But as she doesn’t get any kind of response from him, she looks towards the men. And once she recognizes them, Ella wishes she could run to them. But Ted is holding her back from her shoulder. The pressure is heavy on her, but not strong enough to be painful. 

“Let her come home” Aaron says, his tone softer but calculated. 

“Home?” He laughs “I am her father, I have every right to her, just as much she does”.

The back and forth continues for a couple of minutes, but Ted’s grip has loosened up on the girl. But not quite enough for Ella to make it out of his reach just yet. 

“That bitch tries to take everything from me” he spits out in disgust. “I deserve her! I deserve this!” he shouts and gestures towards the big house and fields behind him. 

And at the second Ted’s hands raise from the girl’s shoulder, Aaron nods at her and Ella comes running down the stairs and leaps to Aaron’s arms. He wraps his arms around her and holds her close to his chest. The embrace feels so safe, the little girl can’t help but cry. 

“Hey! Get back here” Ted tries to command her, but he knows he’s lost. Derek rushes up the stairs and grasps him by the arms. 

The man is soon cuffed, and Morgan doesn’t have much compassion for how tight the cuffs are. “That bitch you’re talking about happens to be my friend” he hisses while dragging the man towards the cop car that has arrived soon after them. 

Aaron’s on his knees on the ground, holding Ella close to him with one arm while the other goes to unzip his jacket “Hold on, for one second okay?” he murmurs to the child who nods. In just couple of seconds, Hotchner takes off his jacket and his vest, leaving him only in his button up shirt and tie. He then goes to wrap the warm jacket around her before scooping her back into his arms. 

**

Once you heard that Ted and Ella have been found, you’ve never wanted to drive anywhere as fast. But they were already on their way back to the office, so it would be smartest for you to just wait for now. 

JJ and you had gone to Ted’s apartment. Before leaving the bureau, you and Aaron had agreed on splitting up. That way, if either of you happened to find her, Ella would have an adult there that she knows and trusts. 

But right now, splitting up feels like the worst idea ever, as you still don’t have your daughter in your arms. And you feel awful for Aaron having to have dealt with Ted without you there. 

When he had called you, he said that Ella was unharmed, she was just shaken up by it all. Of course she was. Poor little girl must have been so scared. And as much as you trust him, your heart won’t calm down until you have your little girl back to you. 

What the hell was Ted thinking? Did he really think that you wouldn’t find him and get to him with the whole force from the bureau if needed. What was he trying to accomplish? Did he really think this would make you want to talk with him any more than you did before? All these questions play in your head over and over again as you sit in Hotchner’s office, until a quiet knock on the door interrupts you. 

You jump to your feet as you see Hotch enter the room. In his arms, he’s holding your little girl, who’s holding onto his shirt with her small hands. She’s still wrapped in his dark jacket, which absolutely swallows Ella inside its warmth. Her cheeks are red but her eyes are tightly closed. 

“Is she-?” You sniffle, your heart feeling so full at the sight of her.

“She fell asleep a few minutes ago. Been a long day” he whispers “I didn’t have the heart to wake her”. 

You nod and wipe away the silent tear running down your own cheek. Your hand brushes softly against Ella’s back and you offer to take her from him. Aaron goes to lower her, in an attempt to pass her over to you. But Ella’s grasp on his shirt tightens, even if she remains sound asleep. 

You chuckle and a gentle smile rises on Aaron’s lips as well. As Ella clearly doesn’t want to be let go of even for a moment, Aaron decides to take a seat on the couch for a moment. You go to kiss the crown of her head before you sit beside him. 

“Mommy’s right here” you whisper to your sleeping girl. You feel so overwhelmed with emotion and love at that moment. Exhausted as well, you lay your head against Aaron’s chest, the same way Ella does. Your hand goes to brush on her back, up and down, and assure yourself that she’s now safe, she’s alright, and Ted will never hurt her or you again. 

“She was so brave” he wraps his free arm around you, wanting to protect you both from the world, even if it’s just for a moment. He pulls you a bit closer and kisses your forehead “just like her mom”.

Tam bir SKANDAL!

Kendime sözler verdim, yetmedi buralarda yazdım ama yine olmadı, yine olmadı! 2020 yılı da en çok sevdiğim şeyle arama bir türlü kapanmayan mesafeler koyarken, bir yandan da onsuz yaşayamadığım bir yıl olarak kişisel tarihime geçti. Evet, “yazmak”tan bahsediyorum.

Yazarak para kazanan biri olarak yazma eyleminden bir o kadar da uzak oluşumun nedenini ben de bulamıyorum. Geçenlerde Zoom üzerinden arkaaaşlarımla(*) konuşurken anlatıyordum: Herkes zaten her şeyi yazmış, söylemiş, ifade etmiş ben ne yapsam bu saatten sonra olmayacak gibi. Dijital dünyaya gereksiz birkaç piksel daha mı bırakayım diye… Neyse ki aklı başında insanlar da, aslında bu işlerin böyle olmadığını bana hatırlatıverdiler. O yüzden yeniden bu tatlı mekâna bir uğradım. Bu defa bu uğrayışın, Ted Mosby’nin MacLaren’s Pub’a bağlılığına evrilmesini umuyorum, hayırlısı…

Pandeminin henüz çok çok başında evde kalmanın önemine ve zamanın su gibi nasıl geçtiğine dair bir yazı yazıp dışarı çıkma tutkusunu bastıramayanları da inceden eleştirmiştim. Eleştirmek demeyelim de çok çok minik taş parçacıkları atmıştım diyelim.

Ancak zaman geçtikçe anladım ki evde olmak da zor iş. Bunu son 35 günde sadece bir defa sokağa çıkmış biri olarak söylüyorum. Hatta “sen hâlâ çıkmadın di’ mi” sorularından ya da “arada bir sabahları çıkıp yürü, o kadar hareketsiz kalma” uyarılarından utanmasam daha da kalırdım evde muhtemelen. Zira pandemi olmasa da evden 10 gün çıkmayabilen bir insan olarak bu tip durumlar benim için pek de anormal değil. Ama anladım ki insan, sosyal bir varlıkmış ve ben kesinlikle sosyal bir insanım. Bu sosyallik kendimle de olsa…

Şöyle ki pandemiden önce de evden çalışıyordum ve “ofise gitsem de iki insan görsem” ya da “benim mutlaka sabah çıkıp akşam gelmeli bir disipline ihtiyacım var” insanı olmadığım için de çalışma hayatım çok farklı değildi. Ancaaaaaak iş dışında yaptığım aktiviteler kısıtlanınca işin rengi değişti.

Tiyatroya, sinemaya gidememek, arkadaşlarla görüşememek, sahilde gönül rahatlığıyla gezememek, kitapçılara girip çıkamamak… Bunlar resmen dengemi bozdu. Hâlâ yazlık ve kışlık giyeceklerimi mevsimi gelince ayıran biri olarak yazlık kıyafetlerimin neredeyse %90’ını hiç giyemediğimi fark ettim. Ve “ben şu an neden böyle saçma bir şey yapıyorum ki zaten bu kıyafetleri de giyemeden kaldıracağım. Ay bu eteğimi de ne çok severim, şu kazağım da yumuşacık” diyerek onlara sarılıp dertlenince psikolojimin pek de iyi olmadığını anladım.

Allah başka dert vermesin(!)

Mekânsal hafızanın verdiği dayanılmaz hüzün Sizin de rutinleriniz var mıdır bilemiyorum ama benim delicesine bağlı olduğum rutinlerim vardır. Şu aralar var olan koşullar nedeniyle pek yok maalesef, ama eskiden vardı. Meselâ bir dönem her pazar sabah erkenden kalkıp kahvaltımı yapar, ardından da Kadıköy’deki Pappa Cafe’ye giderdim. Akşama kadar orada kitap okurdum, çalışırdım, yazı yazardım. Akşam da elime sıcak bir içecek alıp Rexx’te film izlerdim. Şimdi zaten bunların herhangi birini yapmam mümkün olmadığı gibi pandemi bitince de yapamayacağım çünkü yukarıda saydığım mekânlar artık maalesef yoklar. Mekânsal hafızamız birkaç yıldır, kentsel dönüşüm adı altında yerle bir oluyordu. Pandemi sayesinde o güzelim hafızalarımıza buldozer girdi. Muhtemelen bir gün birbirimize sarılıp karşılıklı oturarak dertleşebildiğimizde her zaman gittiğimiz kafeye gidemeyeceğiz, çoğu mekânın yerinde yeller esiyor olacak… Geçmişine düşkün bir insan olarak bu durum beni hayli üzüyor. İleride, zamanında çok sevdiğim mekânların hiçbiri kalmayacak ve hatta bulundukları yerler o kadar sık değişime uğrayacak ki hiçbirini hatırlayamayacağım ya da oldukça puslu olacak hatıralarım. Hüzün…

Yine de bildiğim kadarıyla henüz koronavirüsün bünyeme girmemiş olmasından memnun olmalıyım. Açık havanın sağladığı bir nebze de olsun sağlıklı koşulların verdiği yetkiye dayanarak yollar kateden arkadaşlarımla sahilde keyif yapabilmek güzeldi.

Aşçılık performansımda gözle görülen bir yükselişin yaşanması da son derece umut verici. Tamam bir MasterChef olma iddiam hâlâ yok; ama en azından karnıyarık, dolma, muzlu rulo pasta gibi çok sevdiğim yiyecekleri yapabiliyor olmaktan gurur duyuyorum. Gerçi Tunç’un mısır ekmeği, bal kabağı çorbası ve vişne likörü yapımı mutfaktaki iddialı duruşumu biraz bozuyor ama olsun… Seni yeneceğim genç adam!

Bol bol ürettim, belki kendim için pek vakit ayıramadım ama bunca aydır çalıştığım dergi için yazılar yazmaya devam ettim. Farklı internet siteleri için içerikler ürettim. Kitap okumaya daha çok vakit ayırmayı başardım, izlenecekler listeme dokunmaya başladım.

Nil Karaibrahimgil ya da Fahrettin Husband kadar Polyanna olamasam da bende de iyimserlik tanecikleri olduğunu düşünüyorum.

Şimdi sırada yeni yıl gelmeden pek sevdiğim bir projeyi daha ayağa kaldırmak var. Belli mi olur belki 31 Aralık’ta sanal sanal lansman da yaparım. Hayâl etmek başarmanın yarısıdır. Bu söz böyle değildi, ama şimdilik böyle kalsın olur mu?

EditBüdüt1: Mekânsal hafıza konusunu aydınlatacak kitaplara ve yazılara rastlamanız halinde paylaşmanız nasıl da şahane olur, anlatamam.

(*)EditBüdüt2: Yazma ya da üretme konusunda zaman zaman Dark Side’a geçmiş tavırlar sergilesem de beni dürtükleyen sevgili arkaaşlarım Dilem ve Tarık’a teşekkürü her zaman borç bilirim. (19 Aralık 2020)

Theodore A. Pappas House. St Louis, Missouri. 1955-64, 

Frank Lloyd Wright Architect

Wright designed the house for Ted and Bette Pappas, the original and only owners, in the Usonian Automatic style. 

Usonians were Wright’s solution to more economical homes, built with no attics and basements and with less ornamentation than some of his other designs.

Usonian Automatics took this idea one step further. Wright created a concrete masonry building system so that materials could be manufactured and sent to the owners in a kit for self-construction. 

Using different types of inexpensive concrete blocks, the homes proved more challenging to assemble than anticipated, and it’s estimated that only 10 or 20 Usonian Automatic houses were built.

After several years of design, construction began on the Pappas home in 1960. While craftsman made the terra-cotta-tinted concrete blocks and a contractor oversaw the project, the Pappas couple did much of the work themselves. 

That wasn’t enough to keep the home on budget, however. When the family moved to the home in 1964, final costs were four times the original estimates.

Still, the family home impresses. The focal point of the house is a combined living and dining room with red, squared concrete floors and rich Philippine mahogany trim.

Ted Cruz, progressive hero? Texan defies hard-liner image with AOC cooperation and more

Something’s changed about Ted Cruz – and it’s not just the beard.

First, there was the common ground with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Then, there was the push for people to donate supplies to detained migrants at the border. Then, Cruz called out Tennessee for honoring a Confederate Army general with an ugly past.

Is the senator from Texas – the unapologetic conservative who ran for president in…

My dad just called me to talk about Ted Lasso! I love him so much!

Oohh - good thing to practice!

Min pappa bara ringde till mig om Ted Lasso! Jag älskar honom så mycket!

Lontano dal tipo del maschio alfa, Ted Lasso veste con uno stile rassicurante “da papà” che potrebbe anche dirsi anonimo - comode sneaker classiche, pantaloni chinos, polo o camicia Oxford sotto un maglioncino con scollo a V che calza a pennello (non troppo largo e nemmeno stretto da togliere il fiato), cappellino da baseball senza grandi fantasie -, se non fosse per un paio di baffetti alla Tom Selleck così fuori moda che ci rideresti su, ma che, accompagnati da un sorriso sincero, non di posa, si rivelano ancora capaci di colpire una donna e creare un effetto simpatia.  

Il limite e la forza di Ted Lasso risiede proprio nell'ottimismo che emanano ed esprimono quei particolari baffi e il suo modo di porsi: cordiale, simpatico, inclusivo ma rispettoso anche delle dinamiche naturali dello spogliatoio (che a volte sembrano mutuate dalle feroci regole della natura). Potrebbe essere l'uomo più insipido e banale del mondo, ma è così sincero nel suo mondo e modo che non puoi che volergli rapidamente bene.

La costanza con cui resiste senza resistere alle ostilità dell'ambiente in cui si trova dopo aver attraversato in aereo il mondo (lui, allenatore di football americano con pappa ovale in una lega poco più che dilettantistica chiamato in Europa a occuparsi di una squadra di football inglese che gioca con la palla rotonda nella premiere league), sbeffeggiato fin da subito dai calciatori quanto dalla tifoseria locale, è la vera lezione che porta nella serie.

Le sue regole di uomo e gentleman, finiscono per essere buone per qualsiasi ufficio e ambiente sociale. Ted Lasso è soprattutto un padre di famiglia e un amico, un uomo che sceglie dando la priorità a queste due cose rispetto al lavoro o alla carriera e non si vergogna di usare metodi antichi (che spaziano dalla cassetta con i suggerimenti al gesto di regalare un libro a un pubblico che forse non ne legge da anni), avendone già riscontrata l'intatta efficacia.

Davanti all'ignoto e all'ostile, abbraccia il cambiamento e non corre, non mostra mai l'ansia di chi cerca risultati immediati, lascia che a decidere la validità del suo passo (qualunque esso sia) sia il tempo.

Accetta spunti da tutto e da tutti e se perde l'equilibrio o la pazienza, si ferma a chiedersi perché e non per colpa di chi o di che cosa. E se vince o ha qualità ben superiori rispetto a un prepotente, non ne fa mostra: lascia sempre che a parlare siano i fatti, non le impressioni.

Nelle nostre folli giornate estive post lockdown e pre rientro, Ted Lasso, nella sua avventura/viaggio agli Inferi piena di comicità (che vi lasciamo scoprire e non abbiamo volutamente spoilerato), si rivela la persona solida che vorremmo essere e avremmo bisogno di essere. Con il sollievo che non sembra poi così difficile da scovare dietro a tutte le dinamiche di ricerca costante della performance a cui ci siamo abituati.

Counterculture Films of 1969 by Susan King

One often looks at 1969 through nostalgia-trimmed glasses. It was the year we landed on the moon. Woodstock took place. Women’s liberation and equal rights were very much on everyone’s mind. There was sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll. People were turning on and tuning out. But the U.S. was still reeling from the assassinations of Senator Robert Kennedy and Rev. Martin Luther King the year before. Richard Nixon was president. The Vietnam War continued to rage and so did the anti-war protests.

Though Hollywood was still producing successful, traditional fare like the Western TRUE GRIT, for which John Wayne won his only Oscar, the counterculture was very much on the studios’ minds. John Schlesinger’s MIDNIGHT COWBOY, the only X-rated film to win the best picture Oscar, found commercial success and Dennis Hopper’s low-budget road picture EASY RIDER, with Peter Fonda and Jack Nicholson, captured the zeitgeist of that time. Its blockbuster status forced the studios to produce films for the young and often disenfranchised.

It was during this turbulent, albeit creative time that Columbia brought French auteur Jacques Demy to Hollywood to make MODEL SHOP. Accompanying Demy on the voyage was his wife and fellow New Wave filmmaker Agnes Varda, who managed to make a short and a feature while her husband was toiling on MODEL SHOP.

The auteur had made his film debut with 1961’s LOLA starring the luminous Anouk Aimee as a cabaret dancer in Nantes who has a young son. Demy had received international acclaim with his lush 1964 musical THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG, which made Catherine Deneuve a major star. He and Deneuve reunited for the 1967 musical THE YOUNG GIRLS OF ROCHEFORT, which also starred her sister Francois Dorleac and Gene Kelly.

In MODEL SHOP, Gary Lockwood, still riding high from his role in Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 masterpiece 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, plays a young uncompromising and unemployed architect who lives in Los Angeles in a tiny cottage in the middle of oil rigs with his aspiring actress girlfriend (Alexandra Hay). Not only does the couple fight like cats and dogs, Lockwood’s George is about to lose his cherry red sportscar due to back payments and get his draft notice.

While on a search to get money to keep his car, he witnesses a beautiful woman (Aimee) dressed in white in a parking lot and decides to follow her. She is none other than Lola, now divorced and working without a permit in a grungy part of Hollywood at a model shop where men rent a Polaroid to shoot photos of women in intimate settings.

MODEL SHOP wasn’t a hit with critics or audiences, and Demy and Varda packed up their bags and returned to Paris. Nevertheless, the film feels less dated than a lot of the films released 50 years ago. First of all, for anyone living in Los Angeles it’s great fun to watch Lockwood drive around the City of Angels of half-a-century ago. Demy avoided the traditional L.A. locations and set MODEL SHOP in the grungy part of the city reflecting the characters’ marginalized lives. Demy deftly captures the angst and dissatisfaction so many young people were going through at the time.

Paul Mazursky captured the affluent L.A. culture of 1969 with his R-rated comedy BOB & CAROL & TED & ALICE, which marked his feature directorial debut. It was a winner with critics and audiences. And the ads which feature stars Robert Culp, Natalie Wood, Elliott Gould and Dyan Cannon sharing a bed together caused controversy and an even bigger box office.

Documentary filmmaker Bob (Culp) and his wife Carol (Wood) attend one of the era’s enlightenment swingers’ retreats which opens their minds and hearts and makes them more sexually aware. But their uptight friends—the delightfully funny Gould as Ted and Cannon as Alice, who both earned Oscar nominations— are upset at the changes in their friends Bob and Carol.

Featuring a score by Quincy Jones, BOB & CAROL & TED & ALICE also earned Oscar nominations for screenplay and cinematography. It was definitely groundbreaking and is still quite amusing, but it seems so tame by today’s standards that one wonders what all the hullabaloo was about 50 years ago.

There was very little hullabaloo over the comedy-drama STAIRCASE, starring Rex Harrison and Richard Burton in their first film together since 1963’s CLEOPATRA. In fact, the best way to describe the production directed by Stanley Donen is as a mess.

Adapted by Charles Dyer and based on his hit play, STAIRCASE finds Harrison and Burton as longtime lovers who operate a barbershop in a lower-class London neighborhood. Harrison serves up the ham as Charles, an egotistical part-time actor who is about to go on trial for cross-dressing at a nightclub. Burton’s Harry wears a towel on his head because he suffers from alopecia and refuses to wear his wig. He spends a lot of his time taking care of his mother (Cathleen Nesbitt) who has dementia and suffers from incontinence. For the majority of the film the two lovers scream and yell at each other. It’s exhausting to watch. Unlike the recent Brit-com VICIOUS, starring Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi as a squabbling gay couple, there is little humanity or love emanating from Charles and Harry.

The production was difficult. Both actors were earning over $1 million for their work. And because they wanted to avoid England’s severe taxes, they insisted STAIRCASE be shot in Paris. And talk about demanding stars. Because Elizabeth Taylor didn’t want to be separated from Burton, she insisted the film she was making, the Las Vegas-set THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN also be shot in Paris.

Granted, it was brave of Donen, the actors and 20th Century Fox to make the film, considering it had only been two years since homosexuality had been legalized in England and Wales with the passing of the Sexual Offences Act of 1967. But STAIRCASE is so campy and mean-spirited, no wonder critics panned it and audiences stayed away.

Foreign films broke out of the art house circuit in 1969 with the release of the political thriller Z, directed by Greek-born, French-based director Costa-Gavras. The Algerian production not only became the first foreign language film in three decades to be nominated for the best film Oscar, Z won Academy Awards for best foreign film and editing. Costa-Gavras was also nominated for screenplay and directing. Z, starring Yves Montand, Irene Pappas and Jean-Louis Trintignant, was a very thinly veiled account of the assassination in 1963 of the liberal Greek politician Grigoris Lambrakis.

Costa-Gavras told the L.A. Times in 2009 that the film ended up being made in Algeria because no French producer or distributor wanted to do the film. There was no love story and there were several characters going through it, he said. “I remember even an important producer said to me, I will film the telephone book, but not that story.”

“Thankfully, co-star and co-producer Jacques Perrin knew high-profile individuals in Algeria. We saw the minister of information in Algeria”, noted Costa-Gavras. “He was a very great intellectual. He said we can do it. We can’t give you money, but all the facilities.”

The closing credits were unusual and masterful listing everything that had been banned in Greece after a 1967 military coup including Mark Twain, the Beatles, popular music and even the letter Z because it was symbolic of Lambrakis and the resistance that was still very much alive in the county.

Serial Killer Chapter 4 Another Killing and a Discovery

They have 2 weeks left in Oxford before moving to Edinburgh. Claire is working as a deputy sister at the A&E on second shift. This is perfect for Black Jack, leaving him time to hunt without worry. It is only days since he killed the woman at Fort William and he is hungry again.

He heads out to a pub. It is the perfect place to find a victim. He spots him right away, sitting alone, head down, already more then half drunk. He comes ans sits beside him.

“Who was she?” The man looks up and meets his eyes.

“My wife. She left me for another man. I don’t know how to live without her.” He lets him talk. He can not understand the grief over a woman. He has to stay with Claire right now to maintain his cover. But, sleeping beside her, offering his body to her, it all makes him sick. After awhile, when he is thoroughly drunk, Black Jack, offers to walk him home. The man stumbles up and they head out to the alley. Perfect.

As soon as they are out of sight, around the corner from the pub, he strikes. He wants him alive. He needs his pain. He trips him, jerks his pants down and his own, and enters him. He holds his face to the dirty ground to muffle his screams. The sense of power, of mastery is what he needs. He is soon cum’ing with a scream of his own. He then grabs a nearby rock and bashes his head in.

“No more worries about your wife now mate.” He says with a laugh. He stays inside him until he is hard again, violently f*cks his corpse before throwing his body in a nearby rubbish bin. He then heads home to shower and wait for Claire.

Around the same time, the body of his first victim floats up to the surface. It is discovered by some men out fishing. The police are rang( after they scream, vomit, and at least one almost passes out.) Detective James Fraser is called to the scene.

“We estimate she has been in the water for two to three days. It is the missing tourist, isn't it?” Angus Campbell, one of his junior detective’s reports.

“She not it. I fear so. Damn!” The report on the woman missing from her tourist group had went out three days ago. She matches the description of the floater. “Bag her hands. We may get lucky and get a piece of whoever killed her. Do a rape kit, vaginal, anal, and oral. Who first saw her?” Agnus leads him to the group of fishermen, sitting stunned and silent a few yards away.

“I am Detective Fraser. Can you tell me how the body was discovered.” One of the men, a older gentleman with shaking hands trying to light his pipe, stands.

“Aye. I had just casted out. My hook landed on something to big to be a fish. I dinna ken I would be reeling in…oh god! When she floated up with those staring eyes and her stone white skin… I have ne' been sae scared in my life and I fought in WW2.”

“Pappa was shocked so I rang 411. Was she murdered?” A younger, teen version of the auld man asked.

“Yet to be determined. You did well. I want you to give Sargent Rupert here your official statements and then you can be on your way, for now.”

Rupert comes up to interview them and Jamie joins Angus and the CSI team.

“She has been dead between 60 and 72 hours. Anal tearing indicates rape but we will confirm that. Nice if the bloke didn’t use a rubber.”

“I doubt we will get that lucky.” Jamie mummers.

“Seems her neck was broke close to time of death. I can't determine if it was that or the head drama that was COD. “ Ted Gowan, the forensic pathologist reports.

“Thank you Ned. When will you have her on the table?”

“Tonight. Wish to observe?”

“No. Will be out here.”

“Aye will be a long night for all of us.”

“Aye.”

Merry Christmas, Happy Halloween, and Happy Birthday, Ted the Alligator

King Joebear and I had just returned from the magical swamp that was on this planet. It was even crazier than the swamp we frequented on Earth. As King Joebear and I returned home, we saw that Godiva, Tug, Miss Oreo, and Kissy were circled around Ted the Alligator who was wearing a green and red party hat. Apparently, we were celebrating his birthday early. No one told me they were hosting at our place. But I guess it was an emergency considering that even the holidays are part of cancel culture.

King Joebear's and my modern abode had Christmas trees in the living room and moats around them. To be honest, the trees were almost too large to be stationed in our living room. The moats also smelled crisp and like they were from the Alps. I dubbed this celebration lit.

Our house was in the middle of the street and decorated with candy canes, trees decorated with pumpkins and purple tinsil, and bells along the mantle on the inside and gutters on the outside. Miss Oreo and Kissy invited reindeer to our house, and they were walking around. Lawn mowers outside of our house were also cutting the grass and making a stupid amount of noise. There were also elves walking around, putting mushrooms in the bushes that the lawn mowers ignored. They also walked around, and put boxes in the bushes. Some elves walked around, and put saplings in the bushes. There was a fat man walking around, and hiding in the bushes. There was a fat woman walking around, and jumping out of bushes.

It must have been the Nightmare Before Christmas here because the holidays arrived early.

Tyler1 also was at our house and trying to play League of Legends with Ted the Alligator. Tyler1 usually screamed at the birthday guest because that's what Tyler1 does. He screams at people. He explained that if you don't move for him, he won't move for you.

"OH COME ON, PUSH!" Tyler1 shouted at the computer.

Tug then pushed over one of King Joebear's monitors and knocked it on the floor.

"Haha! Are you serious, Tug? What did you do that for?" I blurted out

Joebear then picked up the monitor and put it back on the computer desk. "What are you doing? That was as cringy as Lenny Kravitz!"

"I like Lenny Kravitz. Should I play his songs?" I asked.

"No," Ted the Alligator said with an aggressive growl.

"What are you even fucking talking about?" Tyler1 said. "When I grow my hair, I look like Lenny Kravitz. Yes, cat, I get it."

The TV then showed Dr. Fuckchi and Alex Jones sitting side by side and reporting the news.

"Hello everybody, this is Dr. Fuckchi," the obnoxious duck with a New York accent said.

"And I'm Dr. Alex Jones with the CDPCP, and we want to report that the frogs on the Green Planet have gone gay! It's an EPIDEMIC!" a white grizzly bear with big blue eyes shouted at us in a raspy froggy voice.

"Yes. It's definitely crazy. I blame the onions that are growing on this planet. They have been linked to making frogs gay and fat and the rest of us getting salmonella. As the main health director of the United Emirates of Chinta and true head of the Center of Disease and Plague Control and Prevention, I have instructed a recall on all onions grown on this planet," Dr. Fuckchi said with a quack at the end of the rant.

"The Onion has also gone out of business because of bullshit happening somewhere!" Dr. Alex Jones shouted at us in his froggy voice.

Godiva sighed and said, "That explains why that onion pizza we ordered tastes turrible."

Ted the Alligator lifted the large one-topping onion pizza with his mouth and threw it in the garbage. He growled at it. "That was dumb of us to order that fucking pizza."

"I guess my son has to delete onions from his diet and possibly replace them with olives to keep on his G.O.M.B.S diet. It's greens, olives... mushrooms, beans, and seeds," Godiva said.

"MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HALLOWEEN, AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TED THE ALLIGATOR!" I shouted. "I did not want to relive my personal bad experience with the large one-topping onion pizza at Pappa Pig's Pizzeria. It was a cheese pizza with onion strings under it. Clearly, I have salmonella, and no one told me.

On Christmas of 2018, I was dressed in a black dress and black dress shoes and working for Mr. Williamson, the man that floated away a few minutes ago who had a vision problem and a great sense of humor. It had rained heavily on Christmas Eve in 2018, so Mr. Williamson's backyard had turned into a swamp.

On Christmas Day of 2018, Mr. Williamson and I discovered Ted the Alligator. They had a major argument until Ted the Alligator became his pet.

"Thank you, although that pizza was fucking god-awful! Goddamn!" Ted the Alligator said as he said as he slithered over back under the tree.

"Yeah. That was just SORRY!" Godiva said.

Tug howled loudly to confirm.

King Joebear chuckled. "At least wasn't as bad as that potatoes and carrots AU ROTTEN my wife made on Sunday evening. That was-that was- I don't know what to say about that meal!"

"At least you were able to eat three bowls of it despite the packets of cheese paste from Wild Thighs Cafe and vanilla almond milk from Count Vanilla Manilla's freezer coagulating in the oven and almost causing World War III in the oven!" I shouted.

"It was bad, bae!" King Joebear threw his head back and laughed. "That meal can rest in pieces. If it comes back to life, I'm throwing it in a live volcano."

We all just laughed and shook our heads. It was ridiculous that even onions have been recalled. It's always something. And I definitely can't cope with The Onion not reporting the news anymore. It was my favorite place to get the TRUE news. I am still trying to cope with the potatoes and carrots au rotten that was created in my oven.

I began to sing, and as I sang, the others (except Ted the Alligator) joined in singing,

"Happy Birthday to you.

Happy Birthday to you.

Happy Birthday, dear Ted the Alligator.

Happy Birthday to you."
