2,The Cobbler


Critique

Movie 1, Fantasy,plagiarising, famous Barber Shop, Murders, Sweeney Todd, etc,
set, in,Scotland.
Nothing,funny, about, this, whore, of, a Movie.
Carlysle, as, usual, overacts, and, gives, an,unconvincing performance, ably,assisted, by, fat twat,
useless,cockney,
Ray, 'I'm the Daddy', Winstone.
The 'Sexy Beast', Ray, can, never equal, His,performance, in,'Scum', a role, He, was, born, to,play.
His, efforts, in,'Quadrophenia', however, mark, Him, as, a potential, great Actor..His, subsequent,
sell out,roles, are, tiresome, and, unimpressive.
Carlysle, as, usual, glorifies, the macabre, drawing, on,His,previous, roles, in,'Hitler', and, 'Trainspotting', ie, Heroin, is,really, cool, etc, Bollocks Movies.
A clown,'Charlie',[cocaine]and, a Fairground,yet,again,appears.
51st State, should, have,enhanced,his, ability, as, an,Actor, however,He, has,learned, nothing,
The played out, 'I'm Scottish, and,I ,fucking, hate, the English',Stereotype, is, now, just,boring.
the link, between Cannibalism, and,Homosexuality, has, been, done, to death, in, other,shite,Movies,
such, as, 'Silence of the lambs', etc...
Mr Thompson's, Character's,Mother, 'Labels', Her, Victims.
She, should, have, labelled,Carlysle, as, 'Pretentious '.Inferiority,Complex.

Movie 2.

After, a promising,well,directed, and, atmospheric New York, start,with, Adam Sandler,really, convincingly,acting,for,ten minutes.
this,Movie,descends, into, farce.
The obvious analogy, of, a foot fetishist,voyeur,the undeveloped,sexually,Sandler, ruins,a script,
with, His, stupid, and,amateur,bootlegger metaphor.

Dustin Hoffman,also,'labels', His, Boots.
Sandler, should, be labelled..'Deadhead'. Then, again,Hoffman, is, just, as, guilty,of,
Murdering a Script, with, His, phoney, over sentimental,
TEETH PULLINGLY PAINFUL, INTERPRETATIONS.
AS, FOR, STEVE BUSCEMI?WITH,HIS,'PICKLES?
IT;S BEEN,DONE,BEFORE,EVER WATCH?
TV SHOW,QUANTAM LEAP?,OR,BEING JOHN MALKOVITCH?...
 WALKING, IN ,DEADMENS SHOES?..
ANY, MACHINE,IS,NECESSARILY,MAN-MADE..WHETHER, A STRANGER,ARRIVED,ONE NIGHT,AND,LEFT IT, OR, DADDY,GOT,INTO HOCK,TO BUY,IT..DOES NOT MATTER.
A PERSON MADE IT, NOT, SOME,SUPERNATURAL,FAIRY TALE, CHARACTER.
AND, USING,JEWISH ACTORS, TO DENIGRATE,JUDAISM,IS,ONE,OF,THE OLDEST,
TRICKSTER,TRICKS,IN,THE BOOK..
HOFFMAN,YET AGAIN,PROVES,HIS,GULLIBILITY.
RE-INCARNATION,OF DEAD ACTORS,
IS,FILLED, WITH,PROBLEMS...IS IT SAFE? BLAH BLAH..
LIKE ,HOFFMAN,SAID,'BARBERS ARE OUR FRIENDS'...MAYBE,HE, SHOULD WATCH,
BARNEY THOMSEN?..THANKFULLY,WE,WERE,SPARED,A SANDLER,IN,DRAG!,TOOTSIE,

IT'S, YOUR, INHERITANCE, TO,BE, A[STITCHED UP] COMPLEX.

KNOW WHY? BECAUSE,BASEMENTS, FULL, OF, SHOES,ARE, VERY, INDICATIVE,
[OF, A FREUDIAN FOOT FETISH.]

SO, KEEP, MAKING, THESE,BADLY SCRIPTED,MOVIES,MR SANDLER..WHO KNOWS, ONE DAY,
YOU,MAY,ACTUALLY, TURN,INTO, A PROFESSIONAL ACTOR.

FLYING HIGH

Our concerns sink into insignificance when compared with the eternal value of human personality – a potential child of God which is destined to triumph over life, pain, and death. No one can take this sublime meaning of life away from us, and this is the one thing that matters.

The Smiths - I Know It's Over

                    


 it takes strength to  be gentle and kind..

goes on a bit,this,one, but,Morrissey,certainly,had, some,issues,in,...'.86 ...
its his way,of,letting them go...
 Quotes;
Artists aren't really people. And I'm actually 40 per cent papier mache.
When I'm lying in my bed I think about life and I think about death and neither one particularly appeals to me.
It's so easy to laugh It's so easy to hate It takes guts to be gentle and kind
Long hair is an unpardonable offense which should be punishable by death.
I’ve never intended to be controversial, but it’s very easy to be controversial in pop music because nobody ever is.
That's why I do this music business thing, it's communication with people without having the extreme inconvenience of actually phoning anybody up.
I rate Morrissey (Steven Patrick Morrissey) as one of the best lyricists in Britain. For me, he`s up there with Bryan Ferry.
On Denmark:
"Denmark is sadly a hellish place if you happen to be a pig, but the brioche and fruits that tower on the table before me have me hastily attaching a feedbag.

OLD ST NICKS

   St Mary del Quay

In 1207 Liverpool received its charter from King John. By 1257 a small stone chapel known as St Mary del Quay had been built. It probably stood near the site of the present tower, overlooking a quay on the River Mersey. The chapel was used as the main centre of worship until 1355. A new chapel dedicated to St Mary and St Nicholas was built on land granted to the burgesses by the Duke of Lancaster. It was under construction for more than a century.
In 1361 a plague hit the town and the Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry licensed the burial ground. The chapel was consecrated the following year. By the late 15th century, a north aisle, the same size as the original nave, had been added, and three chantry altars had been established. Each chantry had its own priest paid for by a wealthy patron. In 1515 a fourth chantry was built.

Reformation and beyond

During the English Reformation, the chantries were abolished. The building was adapted in stages to suit the form of worship found in the Book of Common Prayer. Between 1673 and 1718, the building was extended piecemeal, and galleries were built to seat the increasing population of Liverpool. A spire was added in 1746.
In 1699 Liverpool, now with a population of about 5,000 people, was created an independent parish with (unusually) two parish churches and two rectors. Our Lady and St Nicholas (the "Old Church" or St Nicks) and the new parish church of St Peter's were established as the parish churches. In 1775, the parish decided to rebuild the walls of the existing church. The galleries were kept, as the congregation paid pew rents. A new roof was set atop classical columns, which rested on medieval bases. The reconstructed church had walls four feet longer than the original structure.
By the year 1865, there were 27 churches in the parish, housing around 275,000 people. Since 1916 Our Lady and St Nicholas has been the Parish Church of Liverpool. St Peter's, which was situated in Church Street, was demolished in 1922, having served as pro-cathedral for the Anglican Diocese of Liverpool.

Disaster befalls the church

Over the years, as new churches were built, the "Old Church" continued to serve a congregation. Members repeatedly warned officials that the spire was unsafe. On Sunday 11 February 1810, as the bells rang and people were gathering for the morning service, the spire crashed into the nave below, killing 25 people. Twenty-one were under 15 years old, and most were girls from Moorfields Charity School.[3] The original ring of six bells, dating from 1636–1724, was destroyed in the disaster. An eyewitness account is found in Stonehouse's Recollections of Old Liverpool.
Between 1811 and 1815, a new tower and lantern were built at the north side of the church. The tower was designed by Thomas Harrison of Chester. The last remains of the original chapel of St Mary del Quay, which had been used as a tavern, were demolished. Within the tower, a new ring of 12 bells was installed, cast by Dobson of Downham Market. The Tenor bell was recast by Warners in 1912.
Over the years, several small changes were made to the church for liturgical reasons. The most notable changes occurred between 1851 and 1852. The Parish Centre was built in the 1920s to accommodate community life and a church school. Apart from these changes, the church remained the same between 1815 and 1940.

Carly Simon - Coming Around Again

                            

 nothing,stays...the same

Thursday 7 April 2016

Hofstadter

Gödel, Escher, Bach takes the form of an interweaving of various narratives. The main chapters alternate with dialogues between imaginary characters, usually Achilles and the tortoise, first used by Zeno of Elea and later by Lewis Carroll in "What the Tortoise Said to Achilles". These origins are related in the first two dialogues, and later ones introduce new characters such as the Crab. These narratives frequently dip into self-reference and metafiction.
Word play also features prominently in the work. Puns are occasionally used to connect ideas, such as "the Magnificrab, Indeed" with Bach's Magnificat in D; "SHRDLU, Toy of Man's Designing" with Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring; and "Typographical Number Theory", or "TNT", which inevitably reacts explosively when it attempts to make statements about itself. One dialogue contains a story about a genie (from the Arabic "Djinn") and various "tonics" (of both the liquid and musical varieties), which is titled "Djinn and Tonic".
One dialogue in the book is written in the form of a crab canon, in which every line before the midpoint corresponds to an identical line past the midpoint. The conversation still makes sense due to uses of common phrases that can be used as either greetings or farewells ("Good day") and the positioning of lines which double as an answer to a question in the next line. Another is a sloth canon, where one character repeats the lines of another, but slower and negated.
