Kod Doktora


Z.M. je otišao do doktora: 

-  Ja više ne mogu da obuzdam svoje misli. To je gomila, poplava, to je zemljotres u mojoj glavi. Misli su mi ispresecane... čas mislim o Africi i gladi, kao da ću smisliti nešto dobro, ali se brzo prebacim i dođem do ratova, sa ratova se prebacim na stari bojler...  Sve mislim da nešto nisam stigao a da opet nešto nisam zaboravio…  I o ženama dosta mislim, isto tako, a sa njima mi se nije posrećilo… Mislim dosta o telefonskim pozivima, nebitnim razgovoriman na društvenim mrežama, to me posebno opterećuje…uh… o bolestima, virusima i tumorima, o dosadi, o smislu i besmislu, o smrti, o životu, o đavolu...da...ludilo mi je i preznojavam se, znoje mi se i ruke i noge i ispod pazuha se znojim, mokre su mi gaće i zaudaram... Šta da radim?

- Ništa. Za Vas više nema mesta u našem društvu. Vi ste bolesna i nebitna jedinka i kao takvi Vi više niste potrebni!

- Kako?! 

- Tako...ovo je sasvim nov i poseban program. Vaša bolest je teško zarazna, bićete prebačeni na ostrvo gde žive ljudi slični Vama...odvedite ga – doktor pozva rukom dva medicinska brata. Oni uhvatiše Z.M-a ispod miške, jedan ispod jedne, drugi ispod druge i odnesoše ga. Z.M. se nije bunio, čak je okrenuo glavu ka doktoru i rekao mu, glasom punim poverenja:

- Novi program kažete...

- Novi program. - suvo završi doktor.

Best Albums Ever: The Stranglers - Black and White - Post-punk, punk rock, new wave


The Stranglers 
are an English rock band who emerged via the punk rock scene. Scoring some 23 UK Top 40 singles and 17 UK Top 40 albums to date in a career spanning five decades, the Stranglers are one of the longest-surviving bands to have originated in the UK punk scene.

Formed as the Guildford Stranglers in Guildford, Surrey, in early 1974, they originally built a following within the mid-1970s pub rock scene. While their aggressive, no-compromise attitude had them identified by the media with the emerging UK punk rock scene that followed, their idiosyncratic approach rarely followed any single musical genre, and the group went on to explore a variety of musical styles, from new wave, art rock and gothic rock through the sophisti-pop of some of their 1980s output.

They had major mainstream success with their 1982 single "Golden Brown". Their other hits include "No More Heroes", "Peaches", "Always the Sun" and "Skin Deep" and the 2004 Top 40 hit "Big Thing Coming".

The Stranglers' early sound was driven by Jean-Jacques Burnel's melodic bass, but also gave prominence to Dave Greenfield's keyboards. Their early music was also characterised by the growling vocals and sometimes misanthropic lyrics of both Burnel and Hugh Cornwell. Over time, their output gradually grew more refined and sophisticated. Summing up their contribution to popular music, critic Dave Thompson later wrote: "From bad-mannered yobs to purveyors of supreme pop delicacies, the group was responsible for music that may have been ugly and might have been crude – but it was never, ever boring."

Keyboard player Dave Greenfield died on 3 May 2020 after contracting COVID-19 while receiving treatment for a heart ailment. The remaining band members completed a new album recorded with Greenfield, Dark Matters following his death and intend to proceed with their "Final Full UK Tour", initially announced in January 2020, in his honour.










As with The Stranglers' first two albums, Black and White was produced by Martin Rushent. The album sees The Stranglers adopting a more experimental approach to song structures and time signatures (for example, "Curfew" features 7/4 time).[citation needed]

The band recorded a version of "Sweden" sung in Swedish, called "Sverige", and released it in Sweden. The song was partly inspired by Cornwell's PhD placement at Lund University in the mid-1970s. In an anecdote related in the Swedish online magazine Blaskan, it is stated that the song was inspired by a disastrous visit to Sweden during a European tour, when a gig was violently interrupted by a gang of "raggare" (greasers).

The song title "Death and Night and Blood" is taken from a line from Yukio Mishima's novel Confessions of a Mask.

The song "In the Shadows" had previously been released as the B-side to the band's 1977 single "No More Heroes".




UK repackaged reissue of 1978 album, includes new artwork with extensive sleeve notes and previously unseen photos. 18 tracks including six bonus cuts, 'Mean To Me', 'Walk On By', 'Shut Up', 'Sveridge', 'Old Codger' and 'Tits'. The original album itself features such Stranglers classics as 'Nice 'N Sleazy', 'Hey! (Rise Of The Robots)', 'Toiler On The Sea' and more. EMI.

Movies by Books 01 : "The Godfather" (1972, 1974)



Кум Original title: The Godfather 1972-1974


The Godfather is an American film series that consists of three crime films directed by Francis Ford Coppola inspired by the 1969 novel of the same name by Italian American author Mario Puzo. The films follow the trials of the fictional Italian American mafia Corleone family whose patriarch, Vito Corleone, rises to be a major figure in American organized crime. His youngest son, Michael Corleone, becomes his successor. The films were distributed by Paramount Pictures and released in 1972, 1974, and 1990. The series achieved success at the box office, with the films earning between $430 and $512 million worldwide.[N 2][N 3] The Godfather and The Godfather Part II are both seen by many as two of the greatest films of all time. The series is heavily awarded, winning 9 out of 28 total Academy Award nominations.




The Godfather is a 1972 American crime film directed by Francis Ford Coppola, who co-wrote the screenplay with Mario Puzo, based on Puzo's best-selling 1969 novel of the same name. The film stars Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, Richard Castellano, Robert Duvall, Sterling Hayden, John Marley, Richard Conte, and Diane Keaton. It is the first installment in The Godfather trilogy. The story, spanning from 1945 to 1955, chronicles the Corleone family under patriarch Vito Corleone (Brando), focusing on the transformation of his youngest son, Michael Corleone (Pacino), from reluctant family outsider to ruthless mafia boss.

Paramount Pictures obtained the rights to the novel for the price of $80,000, before it gained popularity. Studio executives had trouble finding a director; the first few candidates turned down the position before Coppola signed on to direct the film but disagreement followed over casting several characters, in particular, Vito and Michael. Filming took place primarily on location around New York City and in Sicily, and was completed ahead of schedule. The musical score was composed principally by Nino Rota, with additional pieces by Carmine Coppola.



The Godfather premiered at the Loew's State Theatre on March 14, 1972, and was widely released in the United States on March 24, 1972. It was the highest-grossing film of 1972,[4] and was for a time the highest-grossing film ever made,[3] earning between $246 and $287 million at the box office. The film received universal acclaim from critics and audiences, with praise for the performances, particularly those of Brando and Pacino, the directing, screenplay, cinematography, editing, score, and portrayal of the mafia. The Godfather acted as a catalyst for the successful careers of Coppola, Pacino, and other relative newcomers in the cast and crew. Additionally the film revitalized Brando's career, which had declined in the 1960s, and he went on to star in films such as Last Tango in Paris, Superman, and Apocalypse Now.

At the 45th Academy Awards, the film won the Oscars for Best Picture, Best Actor (Brando), and Best Adapted Screenplay (for Puzo and Coppola). In addition, the seven other Oscar nominations included Pacino, Caan, and Duvall for Best Supporting Actor, and Coppola for Best Director. Since its release, The Godfather has been widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential films ever made, especially in the gangster genre.[5] It was selected for preservation in the U.S. National Film Registry of the Library of Congress in 1990, being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" and is ranked the second-greatest film in American cinema (behind Citizen Kane) by the American Film Institute. It was followed by sequels The Godfather Part II (1974) and The Godfather Part III (1990).

The Godfather book series is a series of crime novels about Italian-American Mafia families, most notably the fictional Corleone family, led by Don Vito Corleone and later his son Michael Corleone. The first novel, The Godfather, written by Mario Puzo, was released in 1969. It was adapted into a series of three feature films, which became one of the most acclaimed franchises in film history.


Puzo also wrote the second novel, The Sicilian, which was released in 1984, and was made into a film in 1987. Mark Winegardner wrote the next two novels, The Godfather Returns and The Godfather's Revenge, released in 2004 and 2006 respectively. Edward Falco wrote the fifth novel, based on a draft script by Mario Puzo, titled The Family Corleone, which also served as a prequel to Puzo's first novel. It was released in 2012.





50th ANNIVERSARY EDITION
WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION
by FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA

Mario Puzo’s classic saga of an American crime family that became a global phenomenon—nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read.

With its brilliant and brutal portrayal of the Corleone family, The Godfather burned its way into our national consciousness. This unforgettable saga of crime and corruption, passion and loyalty continues to stand the test of time, as the definitive novel of the Mafia underworld.

A #1 New York Times bestseller in 1969, Mario Puzo’s epic was turned into the incomparable film of the same name, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture. It is the original classic that has been often imitated, but never matched. A tale of family and society, law and order, obedience and rebellion, it reveals the dark passions of human nature played out against a backdrop of the American dream.

With a Note from Anthony Puzo and an Afterword by Robert J. Thompson

 ČOVEK SA I BEZ IDENTITETA 

  

-  Ti si čovek ne izgrađenog identitete. Tvoja ličnost se raspada pred tvojim očima. U tebi su očaj, neverica, podozrivost, gramzivost, strah, zavist i douboko samoprezrenje. Bludom se napajaš kao što se svim sredstvima opijaš. Ti ne voliš ljude, niti sebe. Vidim da priželjukuješ da bezbolno nestaneš. Sumnjam da ti je ime upisano u Knjigu Živih, ali ne igraj se i spremi se, da sa tom težinom, kroz ognjene, iglene uši prolaziš!

Čovek kome su upućene reči pade ničice na kolena a drugome maltene na cipele i zaplakavši on odgovori:

-  Sve je istina! Priznajem i kajem se…

-  Ah, kako to? Pa šta bi?! Ali to ne može tek tako, najedanput... a na delu da pokažeš?!! I na kraju krajeva, nisam ja sveštenik!

Na ove reči prvi čovek koji je opominjao drugoga propade u zemlju koja se otvorila ispod njega a drugi ostade da na ivici posmatra duboki, mračni ponor ispod sebe i uplaši se veoma…









A MAN WITH AND WITHOUT AN IDENTITY


- You are a man without a built identity. Your personality is disintegrating before your eyes. If you are in despair, disbelief, suspicion, greed, fear, envy, and deep self-loathing. You feed yourself with fornication just as you get drunk by all means. You don't love people, not even yourself. I see you wish to disappear painlessly. I doubt that your name is written in the Book of the Living, but don't play around and get ready, that with that weight, you will pass through fiery, needle-like eyes!

The man to whom the words were addressed fell prostrate on his knees, and the other put his hands on his shoes and crying, he answered:

- Everything is true! I confess and repent...

- Ah, how come? What would?! But you can't do it just like that, all of a sudden... you have to show yourself in action?!! And after all, I'm not a priest

At these words, the first man who warned the other fell into the ground that opened up below him, while the other remained on the edge watching the deep, dark abyss below him and was very scared...

Blues is a music genre and musical form which was originated in the Deep South of the United States around the 1860s by African-Americans from roots in African-American work songs, and spirituals. Blues incorporated spirituals, work songs, field hollers, shouts, chants, and rhymed simple narrative ballads. The blues form, ubiquitous in jazz, rhythm and blues and rock and roll, is characterized by the call-and-response pattern, the blues scale and specific chord progressions, of which the twelve-bar blues is the most common. Blue notes (or "worried notes"), usually thirds, fifths or sevenths flattened in pitch are also an essential part of the sound. Blues shuffles or walking bass reinforce the trance-like rhythm and form a repetitive effect known as the groove.

Blues as a genre is also characterized by its lyrics, bass lines, and instrumentation. Early traditional blues verses consisted of a single line repeated four times. It was only in the first decades of the 20th century that the most common current structure became standard: the AAB pattern, consisting of a line sung over the four first bars, its repetition over the next four, and then a longer concluding line over the last bars. Early blues frequently took the form of a loose narrative, often relating the racial discrimination and other challenges experienced by African-Americans.

Many elements, such as the call-and-response format and the use of blue notes, can be traced back to the music of Africa. The origins of the blues are also closely related to the religious music of the Afro-American community, the spirituals. The first appearance of the blues is often dated to after the ending of slavery and, later, the development of juke joints. It is associated with the newly acquired freedom of the former slaves. Chroniclers began to report about blues music at the dawn of the 20th century. The first publication of blues sheet music was in 1908. Blues has since evolved from unaccompanied vocal music and oral traditions of slaves into a wide variety of styles and subgenres. Blues subgenres include country blues, such as Delta blues and Piedmont blues, as well as urban blues styles such as Chicago blues and West Coast blues. World War II marked the transition from acoustic to electric blues and the progressive opening of blues music to a wider audience, especially white listeners. In the 1960s and 1970s, a hybrid form called blues rock developed, which blended blues styles with rock music.




Francis Davis's The History of the Blues is a groundbreaking rethinking of the blues that fearlessly examines how race relations have altered perceptions of the music. Tracing its origins from the Mississippi Delta to its amplification in Chicago right after World War II, Davis argues for an examination of the blues in its own right, not just as a precursor to jazz and rock 'n' roll. The lives of major figures such as Robert Johnson, Charlie Patton, and Leadbelly, in addition to contemporary artists such as Stevie Ray Vaughan and Robert Cray, are examined and skillfully woven into a riveting, provocative narrative.

"Noir L.A." Dark Jazz Radio :::: 24/7 Stream & Jazz Noir Various


“And then — she walked in” Jazz Noir, Dark Jazz, and How Music Tells a Story
Featuring thoughts from Morten Gass of Bohren & der Club of Gore

Consider, for a moment, the following:
The acrid smoke from the last cigarette in my pack wafted up from the dim ember and mingled with a thin misting of steam rising up from the gutter. Each passing pair of headlights that crawled by on the street only briefly illuminated the grimy, rain-slick concrete sidewalk, but it was long enough to confidently take another step in the murky darkness. I reached up with my free hand — the one unencumbered by the the only stress reliever I could rely on anymore — and pulled the corners of my overcoat closer around me. At a guess, I had another handful of blocks before I would pass my apartment building stoop. Being the night that it was, though, meant that I would be passing right on by. After all, I had been hired to find her — and it was nearly midnight.
Pulpy, ridden with time-tested noir tropes, but most importantly, evocative. It’s that kind of writing that birthed an entire genre of film. A Streetcar Named Desire, L.A. Confidential, The French Connection, to name a few.
Jazz noir, however, is predicated on the idea that the music is just as vital of a storytelling component than any fedora-wearing, revolver-packing, grizzled detective with a troubled past....

The Movie, Lesson About Life - 39 "Naked Lunch"(1991) & Book by William S. Burroughs - surrealism, science fiction, drama



Goli Ručak
Original title: Naked Lunch
1991


Not an adaptation of beat writer William S. Burrough's novel but a mix of biography and an interpretation of his drug- induced writing processes combined with elements of his work in this paranoid fantasy about Bill Lee, a writer who accidentally shoots his wife, whose typewriter transforms into a cockroach and who becomes involved in a mysterious plot in North African port called Interzone. Wonderfully bizarre, not unlike Burrough's books....






Naked Lunch (sometimes The Naked Lunch) is a 1959 novel by American writer William S. Burroughs. The book is structured as a series of loosely connected vignettes. Burroughs stated that the chapters are intended to be read in any order. The reader follows the narration of junkie William Lee, who takes on various aliases, from the U.S. to Mexico, eventually to Tangier and the dreamlike Interzone.

The vignettes (which Burroughs called "routines") are drawn from Burroughs' own experiences in these places and his addiction to drugs: heroin, morphine and, while in Tangier, majoun (a strong hashish confection), as well as a German opioid with the brand name Eukodol (oxycodone), of which he wrote frequently.

The novel was included in Time 's "100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005".[3] In 1991, David Cronenberg directed a film of the same name based on the novel and other Burroughs writings.





Naked Lunch is a 1991 surrealist science fiction drama film co-written and directed by David Cronenberg and starring Peter Weller, Judy Davis, Ian Holm, and Roy Scheider. It is an adaptation of William S. Burroughs' 1959 novel of the same name, and an international co-production of Canada, Britain and Japan.

The film was released on 27 December 1991 in the United States, and 24 April 1992 in the United Kingdom by 20th Century Fox. It received positive reviews from critics, but was a box office bomb, garnering only $2.6 million out of a $17–18 million budget due to a limited release. It won numerous honours, including the National Society of Film Critics Award for Best Director and seven Genie Awards, notably Best Motion Picture. Naked Lunch has since become a cult film, acclaimed for its surrealistic visual and thematic elements.

In this adaptation of William S. Burroughs’s hallucinatory, once-thought-unfilmable novel Naked Lunch, directed by David Cronenberg, a part-time exterminator and full-time drug addict named Bill Lee (Peter Weller) plunges into the nightmarish Interzone, a netherworld of sinister cabals and giant talking bugs. Alternately humorous and grotesque—and always surreal—the film mingles aspects of Burroughs’s novel with incidents from the writer’s own life, resulting in an evocative paranoid fantasy and a self-reflexive investigation into the mysteries of the creative process.
