Book excerpt: ACTUALLY, I COULD ORDAIN YOU RIGHT NOW IF YOU LIKE. THOSE WORDS PRESENTED NEWLY BLONDE, NON-RELIGIOUS ME WITH AN OPPORTUNITY THAT WOULD ULTIMATELY SHAPE THE IDIOCY OF THE YEARS TO FOLLOW. In the United States over the last ten years, twenty-three million couples have married. The Idi-Odyssey is the story of my random journey through .000003% of those weddings. The story begins with an unplanned ordination in Lake Tahoe by Yukon Dave, a white-water rafting guide/minister. A myriad of ridiculous weddings situations and relationships followed, ultimately leading to the Year of the Wedding during which my younger brother Russ married the same woman three times in the same year. Not to be completely outdone by the marital gymnastics, I secretly married my girlfriend to keep her in the country a week after Russ' first wedding; and despite my father's counseling, Don't feel any pressure to get married just because your younger brother did. Along the way, there's also the Nantucket whale penis, the great gift wars of 1999, the Idiotarod, the weddings I officiated and much, much more.

Download or read book Movies as Politics written by Jonathan Rosenbaum and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new collection of reviews and essays, Jonathan Rosenbaum focuses on the political and social dynamics of the contemporary movie scene. Rosenbaum, widely regarded as the most gifted contemporary American commentator on the cinema, explores the many links between film and our ideological identities as individuals and as a society. Readers will find revealing examinations of, for example, racial stereotyping in the debates surrounding Do the Right Thing, key films from Africa, China, Japan, and Taiwan, Hollywood musicals and French serials, and the cultural amnesia accompanying cinematic treatments of the Russian Revolution, the civil rights movement, and the Vietnam War. From Schindler's List, Star Wars, Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, The Piano, and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective to the maverick careers of Orson Welles, Jacques Tati, Nicholas Ray, Chantal Akerman, Todd Haynes, and Andrei Tarkovsky, Rosenbaum offers a polemically pointed survey that makes clear the high stakes involved in every aspect of filmmaking and filmgoing.

Book excerpt: The step by step companion guide to the work of Francis Ford Coppola. Francis Ford Coppola has made masterpieces and confounded viewers in equal part in his long career. From his expansive Godfather trilogy and Apocolypse Now to the art-house teen dream of Rumble Fish and the Gothic grandeur of Bram Stoker's Dracula, Coppola's films have become pop culture touchstones. Some of the world's biggest movie stars - among them Marlon Brando, Gene Hackman, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Tom Cruise, Gary Oldman and Matt Damon - have starred in Coppola movies, while, as a producer Coppola has presented some of the most engrossing films of the modern era, such as American Graffiti, Koyaanisqatsi and Kagemusha. Throughout his career Coppola has demonstrated an unerring belief in the power of digital technology to expand the potential of moviemaking and, with Magalopois finally becoming a reality, he has reasserted his position as a Hollywood genious. Coppola takes each of his directorial projects in chronological order and discusses then in accessible sections, making it the indispensable guide to the films of Francis Ford Coppola.
