Political Economy 101
"Have you ever seen the look on somebody's face the day that they finally get a job ? They look like they could fly."
In a scene from the film "Dave" (Warner Brothers Pictures, 1993, Kevin Kline, Sigourney Weaver), the President of the USA announces a policy to give hope to the millions of Americans who want the dignity of work, something that every country owes to its adult citizens.
I used a domestic DVD recorder to digitise the material in VOB format, then VideoPad Video Editor to edit and save in AVI format (960x720, 25 TV PAL). I have spent hours trying to improve the aspect ratio. I also have a problem with VideoPad - it will not allow me to mix JPG and video clips.

"Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie." These are pictures and thoughts taken from a viral email I received with a title "7%". The original may have been produced by an engineer from Singapore called He Yan. Or maybe not. The soundtrack is from the Peer Gynt suite written by the Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg in 1875.

Inspector Morse: Making an Arrest

"I had lost the only two people I ever really loved." This is a short clip from my favourite episode of Inspector Morse ("Second Time Around" (1991)).

This is my fourth attempt at editing video. I used a domestic DVD r...
"First Flight" Maureen Lipman (Joyce Grenfell tribute)
Переглядів 25 тис.13 років тому
"I do hope I do it all right." This monologue was performed by Maureen Lipman in 1991 (in a tribute to English comedienne Joyce Grenfell 1910-1979). The story speaks gently about the willingness to be changed by love, and the anxiety of taking a relationship to a new level. This is my first attempt at editing video. The original recording was made 12 years ago on VHS tape. I used a domestic DVD...

    Strangely, just a few years later, this would have been totally cool as a disguise. RuPaul became famous not long after, without him hiding that he is a man or anything.

    Maureen Lipman is incredibly talented. However, to my mind she delivers this monologue far too slowly. Joyce Grenfell's original version conveyed the passenger's nervousness through her quick delivery.

    I've just watched the whole episode for the umpteenth time. Such intelligent dialogue which doesn't spell out everything for the viewer. It isn't until the final scene when we know that Mrs Dawson knew about Jane that we understand the significance of her remark to Morse in the Randolph to the effect that you can't hang a man's unhappiness solely on his wife, or his happiness. Poor Mrs Dawson - to find out that it wasn't their childlessness that had marred their marriage, that your husband had had a daughter, that she was the victim in an infamous murder case, that your husband was a murderer and that he'd never really loved you - no wonder she looked in a state of shock. I also liked the Walter Majors character - adding a little levity to a very dark tale. I wonder if that episode won any awards - it should have done.

    Morse is saying that women, to him at least, represent the more reasonable and delicate qualities of the human race. It's men who lose their cool and go off doing silly things and women who talk sense into them.

    That's why we love Morse. He might be from another era and did not share our modern enlightened view of gender stereotypes. He even openly admitted that he might be too old to change his view. Yet, he was fully capable of keeping things civilized. He listened carefully, quietly, to what others have to say, even if he disagreed. And he was not above apologising for misspeaking, something too many people in this day and age fail to do.

    One of the best scenes in this very sinister (and somewhat underrated) episode. Both of them are in the wrong, Morse is careless in his language, and she can’t express her point of view in a properly professional manner. I don’t think it’s controversial to say that the whole episode hinges around this battle of the sexes, it’s hardly a coincidence that she’s the one who pulls the trigger on Barrie.

    No, no, no. Maureen Lipman is not and never will be Joyce Grenfell. She actually sounds as though she's deliberately mocking her rather than paying tribute to her. Horrible.

    • @geoffarcher6085

  • @koolaid1364

    I think this movie was a precedent to explore concepts of gender fluidity and presentation way before it became a widely accepted thing. It’s kind of reassuring to know that gender fluidity was something that existed in the 80’s as it does now. It just matters how the audience interprets this. Boomers might just think “haha, a man dressed as a woman is funny” but there were probably gender fluid people back them who were able to identify with this movie as there are now. The only difference is today there are more people out about their gender identity and it is more widely accepted and acknowledged. This movie isn’t perfect by a long shot as it still adheres to stereotypical gender roles and homophobic rhetoric that was kind of required for a movie in the 80’s. Anyways, I’ve only seen clips of this movie but I intend on watching it.

      In film opening a window to a much more open mainstream America... about to go back 30 years into the Nancy and Ronnie and Pat Roberson Dollhouse Show for reactionaries But this was already going in Society before Stonewall, Waters' Divine romps, Bunny Breckenridge, etc and European and Brazilian films dived deeper than just ruffling feathers, to tickle uncomfortable Audiences. Remember the original Robin Williams and Nathan Lane Cage of Birds was a French much better film and German Fassbinder flipped the Omelette to deliver the other side of the eggs scrambled

    • @mo58487
      @mo58487 Рік тому

      Yeah, that wasn't the point of this movie....at all. Not at all. He wasn't wearing a dress to experiment, and his self-discovery wasn't that he liked "passing" as a woman. This is not about affirming "queerness", even if the protagonist has to be open to relating to women emotionally. You don't have to change your pronouns to do that. On the contrary, more than a few people who think womanhood is a costume DONT' relate to ciswomen or their lives, and they never will, nor do they want to. They hate other women. He steps into a woman's shoes to get a role and becomes exposed to their interior lives - as a heterosexual man, who falls in love with one and relates to one as a person, not just as an object of desire. He never stops being a heterosexual man. The whole point of the film is that he becomes kinder and more compassionate to women. Not everything that includes genderplay has to affirm the s_y idea becoming a woman is just a matter of putting on a dress. He never desired to be "gender fluid". You guys ruin everything. You're completely, irredeemably insufferable. You're unbearable narcissists.
