As long as I get to see you.” There any elements in this which are so raw and so real. I told her, “Hey, I want to make a movie about family using our real life as a way to put a portrait on the screen of real motherhood, real brotherhood, real trauma and how that impacts people.” My mom was like, “Alright.” My brother was like, “Okay. My mom has never shied away from taking risks and she really supports me as an artist and the same with my brother. My mom knows the type of artist that I am and I think that thankfully we’ve had a really interesting life together. It’s just using real life relationships to achieve this added level of realism. So, when I started my work as a filmmaker, really around the time of my second film, I found this process of what I like to call ‘reality cinema’. I have always have found it quite challenging to not be aware that there’s a whole group of people standing around watching me and try and look like I’m really a person who is really experiencing the things that I’m supposed to be experiencing. MW: Yeah, I think for me as an actor and having an opportunity to work with a lot of really great filmmakers throughout my career, it sent me through this kind of obsessive journey of realism and how to achieve that in a traditional working environment on the film set. Can you just bring me back how you brought this forward to your mom and your brother and got them involved? And how you decided to make this such a family effort? ‘Flesh and Blood’ is described as kind of part drama, part documentary and you use your family in the casting. I had the opportunity to discuss this innovative feature with Mark Webber and he spoke candidly about his homeless past, recruiting his family as performers, what he’s learned from working with great directors, and the necessity to shuck off the ego in the artist process. The film’s unassuming rawness is infectious, as is Webber’s soul-bearing central performance. We meet his activist mother, his socially awkward brother and a pair of deadbeat father figures, each losing a lifelong battle to addiction, and all help contextualize this man and the troubled life he’s lived. He excises demons both literal and metaphorical and the dissolution between the barrier of the two makes for some unchartered and often challenging cinema. With his latest feature, a documentary-cum-drama, Webber has pioneered something unclassifiable, a powerfully pure art piece where the lines of reality and fiction become blur and indistinguishable.Ī soul-thumping exercise in cinema verite, Flesh and Blood explores family relations in the context of Mark’s own family. A seasoned actor and filmmaker both, Webber has not followed a traditional path but has found success nonetheless. Fans of the darker side of cinema may recognize Mark Webber from last year’s excellent Green Room where Mark played a Nazi trying (and failing) to defect from a gnarly order of backwoods skinheads but his roots in the film world run deeper than you’d think at first glance.

Speaking of Structure… When we started Textlab, we gave the students minimal instruction but lots of software, with the model of the VIPs being that “students are smart. It gives the students scope to focus on their work, and once they feel they have a grasp on it, THEN they can start disseminating in really exciting and productive ways. How do you know what to focus energies on when there’s so much to address? Over time, we’ve scaled back a lot in our course expectations, which is something I think is really good. This is not to say my students are stupid – quite the opposite – but that giving them too much new stuff to do is just really overwhelming. This is a difficult class to begin with! I’m not sure how useful it is for students to have to write performatively for the public alongside getting to terms with new software, new methods, and new approaches to something they are only semifamiliar with AT BEST. But eventually that’s just too much to grapple with. Giving students lots of small tasks to do, like blogging, tweeting, recording, writing, and reading, is great because it requires time management skills and genreblending. It’s my understanding that the university is trying to hire someone whose entire job would be doing administration for the Vertically Integrated Projects and taking care of these tasks, but in the meantime, there is no structure and that’s not great for the students (or us). Furthermore, depending on which department is leading the course (this year it’s CIS previously it’s been English), at least half of the students on the course are lost at sea because the other department doesn’t know what to do with them or what their course requirements are. Though I suspect the sciences have more cross-faculty students than English and Computer Science tend to, this makes registration and ensuring all students get the appropriate number of credits, with everyone teaching affected courses aware of our system into a bit of a nightmare. We don’t currently have a general education structure in place for undergraduates. Interdisciplinary work is best done when there is an infrastructure for it. Some challenges remain challenges and some kinks have been ironed out, but here’s some things I learned from co-convening this course: Over the past three years, some things have changed quite a lot from our initial course plan and some things haven’t changed at all. Admittedly, this class is kind of a strange beast for all involved, including us. Jonathan Hope, Anouk Lang, George Weir, Richard Jason Whitt and I co-designed a course for English studies students and computer science students to collaboratively work as a microcosm of the Visualizing English Print project over the course of a term. Textlab was one of first round of projects to be launched, building off work with Visualizing English Print. This structure has been borrowed from the Georgia Institute of Technology and has been running at Strathclyde for the past three years. At the risk of repeating myself, this course is sponsored by the Vertically-Integrated Projects initiative at my university, and is one of several (currently 8, I think) projects running. I’ve written a bit about Textlab before ( here & here), but as my third time teaching it winds down, I’ve been thinking a lot about the various challenges that come with this course. *Please Note: Spyderco's Warranty does not cover disassembly of any knife by any person other than Spyderco’s Warranty department.

Wittenberg University East Asian Studies Journal, 38. Terrifying Toilets: Japanese Toilet Ghosts and Sexual Liberation in the Postwar Period. The golden age of Yokai is generally said to be that of the Edo Period. How did Japan’s terrifying urban legends come about? And what are their social and cultural implications? Japanese Urban Legends from the “Slit-Mouthed Woman” to “Kisaragi Station” Manga-styled mascots based on him are also used to decorate signboards and promotional materials for such establishments. Interestingly, the demon’s name, which roughly translates to “wine-drinking demon,” is nowadays frequently used to name Japanese drinking establishments. They all live in Hell and, since female Oni don't exist, mostly make use of common human females as brood mothers to increase their. Folklorist Kazuhiko Komatsu also considers him one of the strongest Japanese Yokai in Japanese folktales. The Oni are a male-only species that were created to be servants of the Gods that are tasked with the mission of purifying the Souls of mortals in the afterlife, a job extremely important for the Reincarnation Cycle that allows life to exist in The Continent. Jump forth to modern times, Shuten Dōji frequently appears in Japanese video games, typically as a stronger enemy or end-level boss. The warrior wouldn’t have survived the onslaught, had his retainers not piled their helmets on top of his. Of note, even in its decapitated form, the head of Shuten Dōji continued to attack Yorimitsu. Yorimitsu ultimately succeeded in beheading Shuten Dōji, but only after tricking the demon into drinking copious amounts of rice wine. The sorcerer Abe no Seimei managed to divine the location of the ogre, following which legendary warrior Minamoto no Yorimitsu ventured into the mountains to vanquish the creature. Accordingly, almost all of the main characters risk life and limb to help absolve the late Thomas Gates of murderous intent. Thus, the value of family and a good reputation is characterized as something worth preserving, something worth going to great lengths to protect and honor.

Hot on their heels is the mysterious and nefarious Mitch Wilkinson, who has his own murky reasons for wanting to find the treasure but needs Ben to do the heavy lifting for him.Īs evidence mounts that Cíbola may actually exist, one final piece of the puzzle remains. Ben’s mother, the feisty Emily Appleton (who turns out to be one of the world’s foremost experts on pre-Colombian civilization) gets roped into the action too-despite the fact that she and Patrick haven’t spoken for 32 years. Returning to aid the intrepid explorer on his latest mission impossible are tech guru Riley Poole, ex-girlfriend Abigail Chase and his irascible father, Patrick Gates. Rushmore, and from the desk of the Queen of England to the desk of the President of the United States. A series of clues takes Ben on a high-stakes global scavenger hunt that leads from Paris to London, from Washington, D.C., to Mt. The only way to clear his ancestor’s name, it turns out, is to locate a legendary Native American city of gold known as Cíbola-a city long since dismissed by, well, pretty much everyone as the stuff of imagination. This time around, the byzantine-but-never-boring plot is driven by the appearance of a long-lost page from Abraham Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth’s diary that implicates Ben’s great-great-grandfather as a co-conspirator. In this sequel to the surprise 2004 action-adventure hit National Treasure, Nicolas Cage reprises his role as renowned treasure hunter Benjamin Franklin Gates.

“Because the outside surface of Uponor PEX is depleted of antioxidants after the flame treatment, the outside surface prematurely becomes brittle and develops microcracks when the tubing is expanded during installation,” the lawsuit elaborates, claiming the tiny cracks stemming from the manufacturing defect can grow and eventually cause leaks and significant property damage. This heat treatment, however, destroys the tubing’s antioxidant stabilizers, which are crucial for the piping to achieve flexibility, maintain ductility and protect against embrittlement, the lawsuit says. According to the complaint, Uponor, in order to get the blue and red coating to stick to the outside of the PEX tubing, runs the product through a furnace/flame treatment that aids in the application of coatings and adhesives. The 20-page lawsuit out of Colorado claims the Uponor PEX piping, a popular product made for use in residential plumbing systems, can develop exterior microcracks due to the oxidizing process whereby the blue and red coloring-for cold and hot water lines, respectively-are added to the tubing. *To download a hi-res image file, click the Hi-Res image link, right click the larger image, and select save image, to save to your local computer.New to ?

I used to cringe when people said I looked like him-my father, because I was a girl and girls aren’t supposed to look like their fathers. It was often said that I looked just like them-a Blackburn through and through-with the same dark hair and lean frame, though my hair was longer and turned in waves all the way down my back, and my eyes were a lighter, more peculiar shade of gray. His hair was brushed back neatly, broken up only by the thin, white edges along his ears that threatened to reveal the age he otherwise carried so well. He was my father’s brother no doubt, and looked every bit the part with the same dark hair and matching charcoal eyes. His hands were crossed firmly behind his back-stoic, just the way I remembered him. The town car came to a stop at the top of the driveway where my Uncle Karl was standing in wait on the front stoop, solemn and watchful like a raven holding fast on its perch. Certainly not if you’re living in this little place we call reality, so that’s exactly what I told my doctors-over and over again like an anti-psychotic mantra-until they believed that I believed it and finally signed my release papers. They don’t murder your father in the middle of the night while you’re watching on helpless and powerless to stop it. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking vampires aren’t real. I had spent the last six months holed up in a mental institution, suffering from what they called, “a psychotic break from reality due to a traumatic event.” That event being the death of my father, and the psychotic break being the part where I claimed to have been attacked by a vampire. It was arguably one of the most macabre-looking houses in town, and for a second I contemplated telling the driver to take me back to the hospital-a thought that quickly dissipated with a brief flashback to the mandatory group therapy sessions and decrepit nourishment they had the audacity to call food. The massive, Baronial-style gray stone had been in our family for over a century and had all the trappings of a real life haunted house, outfitted with arched Victorian towers, ivy-clung walls, and a spike-tipped fence that spanned the entire length of the grounds. The wrought-iron gates creaked open as the black town car glided through the late afternoon fog and took us up the winding driveway to my uncle’s house-the Blackburn Estate. And they were right there waiting for it-eager and ready to bury me in the wreckage.Įverything was a lie, and I never saw it coming. One misstep was all it took, and it all came crashing down. I couldn’t see through the smoke and mirrors too consumed with fighting a destiny I didn’t want too afraid to let go of a life I wasn’t meant to have. I walked hand in hand with my enemy, allowed their kiss of death to linger on my lips while the world disintegrated around me. You’ll never know their true face, for they shed their masks in layers-meticulous and devious, like the skin of an ever-changing snake. They shape the world around you with well-constructed lies, entombing you in the gossamer of their deceit. The most dangerous enemy is not the one who lingers behind you in the shadows, but the one who walks beside you as a friend. Any similarity to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.
