The BluRay 'The Dark Knight' has three commentary/documentary sections, including the making of the IMAX scenes - WHICH IS ALL MORE THAN WHAT'S AVAILABLE IN THE 2 DISC SPECIAL DVD EDITION

I realize all the white-collar, (bad word smoking, bad word bading, bad word) executives decided on BluRay and there was confetti and champagne and pie. But what the hell? So it's either pull out $400 dollars for a PS3 or $300 for Blu-Ray for your tv, or as an extra drive on your computer or DON'T get the majority of extras which are the reason I (and I'm thinking others) even buy for home anymore?

In this age of watching things online and torrenting, the only reason to pay money for a movie is because you actually want to support it. And I like the happy trade off of paying for something I haven't ALREADY SEEN, namely, behind the scenes documentaries and commentary which comes with a movie I have seen and liked.

Batman Begins won me over enormously for not having a commentary track by giving me an hour or so of glorious backstage footage and interviews and insights into making the movie. Now in order to get that for The Dark Knight I need to have BluRay or Bust?

WHY am I -not- supposed to just download the movie if I want to view it again? Or wait for it to come on cable with no interruptions and just tape the damn thing? Cause seriously, why spend money if I'm basically going to get something I could get off cable (that's already being paid for)?

This isn't even a rant, really. Cause I just want to grrrr and growl. Hopefully there will be an even more special, super dooper, wide-screen (the current dvd offerings are fullscreen) with an extra disc for commentary DVD offered hmm, in a month, maybe two months from now.

But it still means The Dark Knight is not something I'll be getting myself for Christmas. And if any friends of mine who DON'T know how strongly I feel about extras gets it for me - I'm likely to crush them by returning it and telling them to get their money back.

Hell, my mother bought me the theater cuts of the LOTR trilogy and it took me a damn year to even open it and that's cause I had a severe jonesing for FOTR and couldn't get anything online to stream correctly and in such a way as I could properly fall asleep to it. The extras on those suck horrendously too. Though heaven bless my mother for attempting to get me something I wanted. It's totally my fault that I couldn't find the energy to go all the way to the store franchise she got it from.

I've happily waited months and months to learn about the costuming and suit change and what it was like being back in Chicago. I don't like watching all the run up specials on tv before a movie comes out. Because that would involve watching tv and also I like being pretty damn pristine when it comes to certain movie watching experiences. And with comic book movies, you often already know the plot, so why not be unspoiled as to the new manifestation of the tale.

Crap.

Crappity crap.

I don't really give a damn about even better picture quality and better sound quality. I grew up watching a black and white tv. I've shaken my milkshake to a transistor radio. As long as there's no static and the picture's not blurry and green is really green and distinct from blue - then I'm quite happy and satisfied. Heck there are some old westerns I've heard all sorts of good things about - but I'd rather wait until technology can let me make them black and white on purpose because I'd rather that than the faded colours of 70's filming. Jewel tones are what I'm still excited over. Dolby 7 channel surround sound? I thought they wanted me to go out to the movies more often, not sit around at home simply waiting for a DVD.

And 'A Digital Copy'? Someone needs to clue me in to what that's about. You can't transfer the movie you bought onto another device, but you can move this digital copy? Once? Possibly to iPod (which is proprietary) and heaven help you if you use something else? And that digtal copy will also expire after a certain point?

What?

This is supposed to stop people downloading/torrenting shows they already own just so they can have the freedom to move them around as suits them in this age of multi-devices?

...

And all of this BS and graft is also why I can't have a proper device that lets me read prose, colour comics, listen to movies and music and NOT be a laptop.

prior post about the power of naming. I wonder if this means there's a third post in this somewhere? But tonight I had the experience of calling out someone who used a term that's usually a racist slur. In the course of conversation I got told that:

a) The person using the slur was biracial

b) Her feelings were more important than my defending a fictional character from a possible slur

c) Her white friend uses that term to describe herself all the time. So the only racist is me, who sees the term and thinks woman of colour.

These things have all led me to think about the power of naming. Did the individual interacting with me know that I too am a woman of colour? It's possible. But somehow I doubt it. The way the card was played, and yes, I'm calling it a card quite on purpose, I could tell this was meant to silence me. She's a woman of colour therefore she has more right than I to decide what is racist and what isn't. And usually that card's only trumped on the assumption that the other person is a 'well meaning white person making things uncomfortable'.

And right then it occured to me that race is a name of power. Not calling someone by their name, is name power. Not calling them by the right name, is name power. Mocking their name, is name power (which is the third essay that'll come about at some point in time). But self labeling is also name power.

Perhaps it's my fanciful mind. But I could so clearly see her drawing a circle about herself, sticking in some zodiac signs, lighting a few candles, exhaling and then going, all Pokemon style. "I choose you! My non-White side! Go forth and battle this bitch who's getting on my last nerve with her insistence that feelings have been hurt by a mere word! SILENCE HER!"

And even as I describe that, I can so easily see another circle, with another individual drawing up power from somewhere, symbols glowing in yellow candle flame. "I choose you! My 1/16th Cherokee/Souix/Cree/Apache/Insert First Nations Tribe Here - Heritage. Go forth and SILENCE my accusers. Manifest as a Princess, oh great, great, great, great, great, great, great grand-mother and repulse those that would label me insensitive, racist, or ignorant!"

I haven't gotten any further in my thoughts that that, however. Because obviously the self-naming/self-labeling spell gets bounced off someone who also is a minority, or who perhaps is listed on their Tribe's rolls, or their parents are. Or better yet, the spell bounces off knowledge, rightenousness and history. But all too often, I'm sure, someone is silenced. Someone does get confused because they were certain they saw what they saw, but now...

And I haven't thought of a spell that'll counteract that. How do you tell the budding anti-racists they need yet more knowledge? Doesn't it seem daunting to them that they need it, not in a general way to understand more or learn more but as a shield against this kind of crap?

Is there a way to stop people pulling out their bag of tricks and glitter? Is that a better use of time and energy? And what about people who have dual or more heritages? What about people with colonial history in their past where various tribes of the oppressed intermingled? I've seen quite a few heads come near to exploding when they realized the person they were trying to silence was South Asian, Black and Chinese.

Any thoughts.

Hello,

This article was co-written by my very talented colleague Astrologer C.A. Brooks. She is one of the newest additions to our prestigious staff, and I had the pleasure of meeting her when I visited Denver last month. During an exhausting week that saw my sweet and dear cat Boris both turn 14-years-old and become terribly ill again, one too many drama trips in my home and other assorted upheaval, I cannot put into words what a touch a grace C.A.'s eloquence, kindness and appreciation were. It was such a pleasure to write with her and I look forward to doing so again soon. This article is dedicated with love to change.

The Election of CHANGE
(C A Brooks, Elizabeth Pendleton)
Its no wonder each of the top presidential candidates in the U.S. 2008 election has adopted the slogan Historic planetary aspects are taking both on Election Day itself and in the broader background leading up to and following this momentous day. From the Spring of 1964 through 1966 Saturn had a series of oppositions to Uranus. In short hand, Saturn represents tradition and structure while Uranus challenges the status quo. These two powerful outer planets begin their next series of oppositions on November 4th.
Both Virgo and Pisces are mutable signs which are known for their ability to see more than one side of a situation. Mutable signs tend to break apart or dissolve the fixed energy of the signs preceding them (Leo and Aquarius in this scenario) and paving the way for the new energy of the cardinal signs to follow (Libra and Aries). In a nutshell, the mutable signs represent Change.
At its best, Saturn represents maturity, wisdom learned through experience, self-knowledge leading to self-discipline and accepting responsibility for our lives and our choices. At its worst, Saturn feels like external rules and regulations, structure, and oppression the ultimate outside authority constricting our lives. Without periodic and sober reflection it is true, the structures we create and accept in our lives can become outdated and cease to function as originally intended. Sitting on the other end of the astrological teeter totter is Uranus, the rule breaker, representing rebellion, the independence and sometimes genius of adolescence, and forever the seeker of change, the novel and the new. This rebel is all too willing to challenge the status quo, fly in the face of convention, and force us to reevaluate every value we hold dear whether we want to or not.
The tension of these two forces in opposition to each other is easily recognizable in the campaigns dominating this election. While it would be totally unfair and unrealistic to characterize either candidate as representing just one end of this continuum, as we step back and view the we see the action taking place. The John McCain critics accuse him of being too old and crotchety, out of touch and wanting to use all the old methods and structures for solving problems (Saturn). The critics of Barack Obama claim he is too inexperienced, too radical and even dangerous palling around with terrorists (Uranus). McCains campaign encourages him to draw to his strengths by highlighting his experience, and long history of serving his country (Saturn) while cautioning him to avoid emotional outbursts and exclamations and behavior (Uranus). Meanwhile Obamas advisors encourage him to demonstrate calm and assertive leadership (Saturn) and avoid getting (Uranus).
As usual the truth is usually found in the middle ground. This is actually an exciting, if uncomfortable time. Both planets are change makers in their own ways. Saturn likes to clear the clutter anything deemed not useful or functional and set up new boundaries and rules. Uranus is usually flashier wants to create some chaos, fight the establishment, and break things apart which may be warranted at times. Uranus change is not the soothing predictable and slow evolution like the tides moving in and out.
And just like the election is not the end, but rather the beginning of something new, the storm (or is it fun?) of this planetary oppositional pairing is far from complete. Over the next two years the two planets will each move along in their designated courses, both continuing their dance of opposition as each planet moves in both forward and retrograde motions. In fact the two will be in direct opposition in February and September of 2009, and in April of 2010. If we have done our homework examined our lives, our beliefs and been open to new information, the July opposition in Aries and Libra will allow us to give birth to something new. No doubt we will see the fruit of our labors as a country as well.
While Saturn and Uranus may have the greatest influence on Election Day itself, Saturn, Jupiter and Pluto are also set to play important roles in the shapes of things to come during the next Administration. Beginning on September 2, 2007 Saturn entered Virgo which is when stories of the current mortgage crisis began to surface. Saturns stern and sober review of the books coupled with earth sign Virgos relentless attention to detail will continue to leave no stone unturned in the world of financial affairs through October 29, 2009 when Saturn enters Libra. Saturn in its highest aspect is one of lifes greatest teachers. It gives sound structure to realistic goals, provides consistent strength and encouragement to worthwhile endeavors and rewards work well-done. But it will not tolerate sloth and dishonesty. That the fatal flaws of a financial boom built on unhealthy lending practices fueled by unprecedented greed from the bottom up are having a serious reality check now is no surprise. Saturn simply wont stand for cooking the books nor self-indulgence. Add Virgos meticulous approach to life, particularly the material world,and its devotion to service, and the irregularities and faults of our economic system will continue to be exposed.Saturn will demand that the next President help us get our fiscal houses in order, personally and nationally.
Also making the economy the ultimate focusthis election year has been the planet of Jupiter in Capricorn which began back in January. Capricorn is an earth sign ruled by Saturn. So our national examination of the financial facts and real value of assets has been subject to this second heavy dose of reality. In January 2009 Jupiter will move into humanitarian minded Aquarius. Under the right leadership, this is an excellent aspect for political change that serves the common good. An example of how this could manifest would be government spending on infrastructure improvements and tax incentives for investments in green technologies.
But the most subtle yet significant aspect of all in the 2008 election is Plutos movement into Capricorn in late November, a trend that will last until March of 2023. The last time Pluto went through Capricorn was 1762 to 1778. One only needs to recall the Tea Taxes of the early 1760s and resulting American Revolution to understand the powerful implications of this placement. In short, it is a generational opportunity to reshape business, government and our other major institutions under Capricorns no-nonsense vigilance. The good news about this ambitious sign is that he gives us both realism and the stamina for long-term goals. He is not interested in being an overnight sensation. And given the magnitude of the problems we now face, his endurance, pragmatism and willingness to roll his sleeves up to do what needs to be done are well-timed. So, as we can see, the consequences of our selection on November 4th are profound and far-reaching. 2008 is indeed a time of .

This week, Lee Burridge returns to Avalon after a long hiatus from the venue. Having recently played stunning and much talked about sets at Burning Man, Love Fest in San Francisco, and in the Beatport Tent at Movement Festival in Detroit, Lee has been serious about bringing the heat to his American dates. In the midst of his Get Weird tour, expect a genre bending and ear twisting foray into tech-house and electronic funk that stays true to the tours namesake.
As if that wasnt enough to draw your interest, Lee will be playing an intimate late night set in Honey Lounge after 2:30 AM, where, if its possible, things could get even weirder. Recent Ex-Pat Bill Patrick will be warming things up for him in Honey Lounge. The former NYC Robot, has recently moved on to Berlin, and has become one of Europes hottest commodities. This should be one of Honey Lounges busiest nights of the year.
