Remind anyone of anything..? (The Crucible, 1996)

The movie is centered around the Salem Massachusetts witch trials of 1692. The movie is based on the play "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller. He also wrote the screen play adaptation. Written by {dfmarean@Cove.com}

A small group of teen girls in 1692 Salem, Massachusetts caught in an innocent conjuring of love potions to catch young men are forced to tell lies that Satan had invaded them and forced them to participate in the rites and are then forced to name those involved.

Thrown into the mix are greedy preachers and other major landowners trying to steal others' land and one young woman (Ryder) infatuated with a married man (Day-Lewis) and determined to get rid of his innocent wife (Allen).

Arthur Miller wrote the events and the subsequent trials where those who demanded thier innocence were executed, those who would not name names were incarcerated and tortured, and those who admitted their guilt were immediately freed as a parable of the Congressional Communist witch hunts led by Senator Joe McCarthy in 1950's America.

Beetlejuice - Shake Shake Shake Senora

Opera you didn't know you knew (lucia sextet)

Deano says...

According to Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucia_di_Lammermoor#Trivia, it's been used in;

The "Lucia Sextet" (Chi mi frena in tal momento?) was recorded in 1908 by Enrico Caruso, Marcella Sembrich, Antonio Scotti, Marcel Journet, Barbara Severina, and Francesco Daddi, (Victor single-sided 70036) and released at the price of $7.00, earning it the title of "The Seven-Dollar Sextet". The film The Great Caruso incorporates a scene featuring a performance of this sextet.

The "Lucia Sextet" melody is best known to some from its use by the American slapstick comedy team the Three Stooges in their short films Micro-Phonies and Squareheads of the Round Table, sung in the latter with the lyrics "Oh, Elaine, can you come out tonight...." But the melody is used most dramatically in Howard Hawks' gangster classic "Scarface": Tony Camonte (Paul Muni) whistles "Chi mi frena?" in the film's opening sequence, as he guns down a ganglord boss he has been assigned to protect.

It has also been used in Warner Brothers cartoons: Long-Haired Hare, sung by the opera singer (Bugs Bunny's antagonist); Book Revue, sung by the wolf antagonist; and in Back Alley Oproar, sung by a choir full of Sylvesters, the cat.

The "Lucia Sextet" melody also figures in two scenes from the 2006 film The Departed, directed by Martin Scorsese. In one scene, Jack Nicholson's character is shown at a performance of "Lucia di Lammermoor", and the music on the soundtrack is from the sextet. Later in the film, Nicholson's cell phone ringtone is the sextet melody.

The Sextet is also featured during a scene from the 1986 comedy film, The Money Pit.

In the children's book "The Cricket in Times Square," Chester Cricket chirps the tenor part to the "Lucia Sextet" as the encore to his farewell concert, literally stopping traffic in the process.

An aria from the "mad scene," "Il dolce suono" (from the 3rd Act), was re-popularized when it was featured in the film The Fifth Element in a performance by the alien diva Plavalaguna (voiced by Albanian soprano Inva Mula-Tchako and played onscreen by French actress Maïwenn Le Besco). A loose remake of this film version of the song was covered by Russian pop singer Vitas.

The "mad scene" was also used in the first episode of the anime series Gankutsuou (in place of L'Italiana in Algeri which was the opera used in that scene in The Count of Monte Cristo).

The "mad scene" aria, as sung by Inva Mula-Tchako, was used in an episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent involving the murder of a young violinist by her opera singer mother (who performs the song right after the murder).

The "mad scene" was released as a music video by Russian male soprano Vitas in 2006.

Among other selections from the opera, the "mad scene", "Verranno a te sull'aure", and "Che facesti?" feature prominently in the 1983 Paul Cox film Man of Flowers, especially "Verranno a te sull'aure," which accompanies a striptease in the film's opening scene.

The opera is mentioned in the novels The Count of Monte Cristo, Madame Bovary and Where Angels Fear to Tread and was reputedly one of Tolstoy's favorites.

"Regnava nel silenzio" accompanies the scene in Beetlejuice in which Lydia (Winona Ryder) composes a suicide note.

A portion of the opera is also used in a key scene of the film The Fifth Element, written and directed by Luc Besson.

John Stossel Debunking the Global Warming Fear Mongering

MycroftHomlz says...

Lots should be replaced by minority.

My biggest problem here is the way he discusses the data. Or the brief moment, where he discusses the data. I am not convinced by his discussion... I would have to look at the data myself, by that I mean look at it in data analysis software. You can't just take to frames form a movie and overlay them to make a conclusion, that is nonsense.

No doubt there is some uncertain on both axis, I think the point of the plot was to say they are correlated. My impression is that it is not an essential point which one comes first.

His panel of experts are well-known for their opinion. John Christy, Spencer, and I think maybe Ryder, all published results on satellite data in Nature, which suggested global cooling. Unfortunately, they had errors in their data analysis, and it had to be reanalyzed and corrected. The errata actually shows warming.

So it is very much dependent on when this was taped.

What I would have liked to Stossel report on is can anything really be done about global warming or should it be? I think even these scientist would agree with that... in fact I know they do.

Fallout Retrospective

Aemaeth says...

Funny this is in the first Fallout the most powerful gun for the first half the game was the Red Ryder BB Gun Special Edition that you could get through a random special encounter.

Fallout Retrospective

SDGundamX says...

Never played Fallout, but Wasteland... oh my God I loved that game. Still remember getting a case of Space Herpes after visiting the three-legged prostitute at the local brothel. That, and "earning" the most powerful weapon in the game, the Red Ryder BB, gun by killing all the kids on the playground in the first town. Good times.

Never could finish it though. There was some puzzle at the end where you're supposed to input some sequence into a computer or something but I could never figure out what the proper sequence was. Whatever the clue was, it was too obscure for me to figure out at the time.

Love Song For A Vampire - Annie Lennox

alien_concept says...

Gary Oldman and Anthony Hopkins are usually great in whatever they do, and agreed Keanu Reeves fucked things up with his dodgy performance. In my opinion this film could have been miles better, Winona Ryder was crappy in it too. Having said that, it's still worth watching
