Speaking to The Dead at Camp Chesterfield?

Another throwback to the great era of Spiritualism.

Unfortunately as former Fake Psychic Lamar Keene admitted its probably unlikely that you can actually speak to the dead:

Puma Punku: Probably No Aliens Involved But A Very Strange Archaeological Site

 It seems everything not immediately explained by what is currently known about Pre-History and /or The Ancient World is automatically assigned  some kind of Alien/Paranormal solution.

Of course there are many other more-likely possibilities.  (In any event, speculation is always fun.)

Brian Dunning's excellent Overview on Skeptoid

This is History Channel's Alien-Technology focused piece- (But it will give you a great visual tour of the site)

Rest in Peace Mr. Borgnine

We lost an American Icon today. The Great  Film and Television Actor  Ernest Borgnine.
It was one of the highlights of my life in this Industry to spend some time speaking with Mr. Borgnine at the premier of Sinatra Club.
He was a Brilliant Actor (He won an Academy Award in 1955 for Marty) and a warm and engaging human being.
You will be missed sir.

Good Ole Witt and The Picture Theory of Meaning

Who? Ludwig Wittgenstein

Wittgenstein's Picture Theory of Meaning





Apparently the WORD = SYMBOL = PICTURE of ACTUALITY came to him while serving in the army and involved with providing models of Cannon and Infantry for Military strategy purposes.
Remember, it's not advised to stare into the Infinite.

Oskar Fischenger: Visual Music and the Shape of Sound

Abstract Animator, Inventor and Painter Oskar Fischenger was an original thinker.
From his  Wax Experiments to:

One of the main thrusts of his work was to find and deliver a pure expression of sound as it is related to color.
Here's more on Mr. Fischenger from NPR.

The Theresienstadt Nazi Propaganda Film (1944)

Among the many ghastly events of the Third Reich's Reign of Terror was the Propaganda film Theresienstadt that Actor/Director Kurt Gerron was forced to make for his captures.
I normally list the Director's name before the Title in Posts like this, but out of respect for the great talent and character of Mr. Gerron (He was a War Hero and a warm and generous person in addition to being a great talent) I will not count this among his extensive credits and I have every confidence that he would approve.
Kurt Gerron and his family were shipped off to Auschwitz immediately after this film was completed and murdered the next day on October 28, 1944.
Although the film itself was destroyed, some significant footage remains:




Kurt Gerron sings "Mack The Knife" from "Three Penny Opera."

I attempted to come up with some kind of closing statement for this post but came up dry.
Real Evil tends to take the words away.

Hitchcock's Black Mail (1929) Sound VS Silent Comparison

Interesting to see how the early sound equipment forced Hitchcock into a more rigid Proscenium way of shooting.
Nice job by Catherine Grant.
