'The Killers'

BURT LANCASTER AND AVA GARDNER are wonderful acting souls. Late last night, I watched the sleek, wild Ernest Hemingway story-like film noir movie, 'The Killers' and I tell you it was very compelling with its astute blendings of so many cinematic elements.  I think Burt Lancaster has a sharp sense of style and in this rugged movie when one mixes in the tough, so virile, Edmond O'Brien, the insurance investigator, then a vivid recipe of engaging film cooking comes to the thrilling forefront. I enjoy the ethos of fine film noir craftings and this '46 gem certainly has grand amounts of very good movie stuff. The unique and so strong screen presence of Lancaster is a lot of fun to watch and the sly counterpoint of the feral female A. Gardner is  intensely clever and rather unique.

Word Business Thinkers

I KNOW SO MANY humans in the word business, what some call the media. There are diverse ideas running wild all the time with this aggregation of folks. But I have noticed lately that the tough veneer of these unique souls changes after a few years. When young, the crass taint of brutal skepticism reigns supreme....but when things go topsy-turvy these men and women look for more meaning. In other words they get really sick of all the looney, brutal cynicism. But overall, word people are strangely fascinating.

Pro Football Modes of Thought

IDEAS of pop culture are bizarre to some souls. As for me I like Pro Ball for there are many unique ups and downs. Today, my favorite guys the folks from the ATL won. I confess I am rather amused. All is clever, now.

Superior Jazz Sounds of Mr. B. Golson

THE SAXOPHONE is an enchanting horn, When artful individuals like Benny Golson blow this shiny instrument things are grand as the 1930s films might say. I enjoy very much the insouciant, shiny work of Benny Golson on the energizing composition, 'Blues March.' That work is quite memorable. Engaging jazz is a joy that is ongoing, really so infinite.

Adolph Gottlieb...Fantastic Abstract Expressionist!

IN MY THINKING, I believe the staunch individualist of Abstract Expressionism, Adolph Gottlieb, made a huge, tremendous mark on the wild history of contemporary art. He got very heavily into using symbols to produce strong and bristling art emotionalism. I find his passionate works very exhilirating. Gottlieb and his friend, Mark Rothko were vigorous men who came up with bold, sinewy works that energize the mind. Gottlieb spent virtually his whole life in New York. He was a vibrant soul. He did study intensely many modal concepts in artistic thinking....I wonder sometimes if you look deeply into the art of Mr. Gottlieb perhaps one does observe some arcane French influences. In one of his artful credos Gottlieb indicated he felt the mechanism of art should portray the powerful aspects of what we call the human experience. Indeed, Adolph Gottlieb, seems to point out he feels more of a decisive interest in the large shape. I muse that minimalism was not too "hip" in his mode of thinking.

The Visitor

We have a visitor from Japan.  This cultural rebirth is super, indeed. Japan is beautiful 

Wonderful Art Ideas...

I BELIEVE ART TO BE TERRIFIC! Yes, if one intensely immerses one's self in the love of art whether it means Picasso, Grandma Moses, Chagall, Manet or Roualt, then it is possible to achieve more rapturous love in one's life. The amazing bold art of the intricate thought-provoking wild man, Salvador Dali, for example, is a mind-blowing fantastic mental roller coaster, indeed. Yeah, the panorama of art is a glorious sphere for one to contemplate. I feel the fervent cultural ethos of art is more fulfilling that the obsessive sports tones of our arcane, allegedly modern society.
