Clowns
2008-02-29 13:20:00 Fellini earned his reputation of excellence over his years of fame. Movies such as Roma, La Dolce Vita, Casanova and 8 1/2 were not only brilliant films, but in fact changed the very face of cinema.Clowns, I, is a much lesser known film of his stunning oeuvre. Nevertheless, it is a good portrayal of his fascination with the circus and with entertainment in the broader sense. This 'shorty' is funny, smart and allows insights in the dreamworld of its makers. Moreover, the score is wonderful.Plot: A sentimental journey shot in France and Italy, searching the trace of the great clowns of yesterday, by one of the few filmmakers that showed his love for these performers in his own films, an affection that dates from a childhood experience in his hometown Rimini, which is lovingly recreated in the dream-like opening scene. Made for Italian television, the film shows Fellini meeting a few survivors, talking to clowns' relatives and friends, visiting white clowns, and recreating the styl...

Don't Bring In the Clowns
2008-02-04 17:08:00 I saw this story online this morning, and thought to myself that is without question the most terrifying thing I've ever heard of. What are the two things people hate the most? Funerals AND clowns? Then let's find a way to put them together. Seriously. The most terrifying thing I've heard of. This probably gives Stephen King nightmares.

2008-01-17 11:30:00 In other news, the University of Sheffield for the Space to Care study aimed at improving hospital design for children and did an extensive poll of 250 children (ages 4-16) to discover once and for all, “do clowns make kids happy?” As reported by Nursing Standard magazine - found all of them disliked clowns as ...

Don't Send In The Clowns
2008-01-17 06:28:00 A study, reported in the Nursing Standard magazine today, revealed that pretty much everyone with a pulse hates clowns: "We found that clowns are universally disliked by children. Some found them quite frightening and unknowable." All the 250 patients aged between four and 16 they quizzed disliked the use of clowns, with even the older ones finding them scary. The only way a clown could be entertaining to me is if it was a moving target on the gun range.

And If You Should Die Before You Wake...
2008-01-16 20:28:00 Thank you, University of Sheffield. The school, which I totally heard of before reading the BBC News article, recently concluded a study of more than 250 children between the ages of four and sixteen, and discovered that they all saw clowns as "frightening and unknowable." The study showed that hospitals "decorating children's wards with paintings of clowns to create a nurturing atmosphere could backfire," because, according to child psychologist Patricia Doorbar, "Very few children like clowns. They are unfamiliar and come from a different era. They don't look funny, they just look odd." A companion artilce asks "Why are clowns scary?" And it probably comes as no surprise to horror fans that a University of Sheffield study of 250 children for a report on hospital design suggests the children find clown motifs "frightening and unknowable". One might suspect that popular culture is to blame. In It, made into a television movie in 1990, Stephen King created a child-murdering mon...

Why I'm Afraid of Clowns, Part II
2008-01-12 13:26:00 Cave paintings recently discovered in Lascaux depicting a Clown Hunt Clowns. Clowny clown clowns. Man has feared clowns since the dawn of time. Whether we're pitting them against our super heroes, or turning them into sewer-dwelling giant spiders, man has looked to clowns as inspiration for dredging up our darkest fears. But clowns are funny, you say? Clowns are harmless. Well then, riddle me this: whenever you think of circus clowns, what song instantly plays in your head. It goes something like this "Do do doodle-oo do do do do do...", right? Do you know what that song is called? Entry of the Gladitors by Julius Fucik, a Czech military orchestra composer. The clowns are mounting an army. On Bozo's command, unleash Hell. Incidentally, if you've ever wondered the name of a classical piece that you always hear in movie trailers or when Jerry is setting Tom's tail on fire, check out kickassclassical.com.

2007-12-26 07:55:00 When you think of great men who have spread the Gospel you might think of John the Baptist, Jesus, Paul and the apostles. These men were beaten, imprisoned, ridiculed and mocked, poor, starving, and they died including our Savior Jesus. Who else would you include in this list? How about KoKoMo the clown?

Send In The Clowns
2007-11-20 16:18:00 It's worth the space to lift the first two grafs from Timothy Ruttan's excellent smackdown of CNN in today's LA Times: If you're one of those dutiful souls who felt that the responsible exercise of citizenship required you to watch Thursday's debate among the Democratic candidates on CNN, you probably came away feeling as if you'd spent a couple of hours locked in the embrace of a time share salesman.We're not talking about the candidates here, but about the shamelessly high-pressure pitch machine that has replaced the Cable News Network's once smart and reliable campaign coverage. Was there ever a better backdrop than Las Vegas for the traveling wreck of a journalistic carnival that CNN's political journalism has become? And can there now be any doubt that, in his last life, Wolf Blitzer had a booth on the midway, barking for the bearded lady and the dog-faced boy?It all would be darkly comedic if CNN's descent into hyperbole and histrionics simply represented a miscalcul...

2007-11-01 14:39:00 Though I let out a slight groan at the thought of yet another magazine with Sienna Miller on the cover Pop has managed to address these concerns and make her virtually unrecognizable on its upcoming issue...so everything balances out nicely. And, instead of focusing on Sienna, the reader can give full attention to the wonderful combination of the blouse from the first look from Prada's spring/summer 08 show and the thinking woman's clown face...roll up, roll up, to the greatest show on Earth...

Why I'm Afraid of Clowns
2007-08-30 20:44:00 Earlier this week, Amy was looking at her boyfriend's Myspace page, and someone had left him the cryptic message: "Happy birthday! You are worse than Michael Jackson." Well that's...open to interpretation. Worse than him at what? Scrabble?? Cutting back on the Jesus Juice? Mini golf? In the name of science, I decided to do a search for "You are worse than Michael Jackson." and curiously enough, came up with almost 250 results. It seems "You are worse than Michael Jackson" isn't just a passive-aggressive non-sequitur, it's a biting accusation straight from the mouth of curly-booted 80's wrestling icon and Cyndi Lauper video extra The Iron Sheik! Apparently, he's still pretty mad about Wrestlemania III, and has some choice words for Brian Blair. The video is from an interview The Sheik gave last year, barely beating out the twenty-year statute of limitations on holding a grudge over a staged fight in a fake sport. There. Another mystery solved. But the hypnotic lure and, da...

2007-08-20 15:17:00 Just in time for Wednesday's dubious debut of bikini babe and former WWE hostess Lauren Jones Fox reality show "Anchorwoman." Fox News brings a bonehead blonde anchor recently hired for overnights from under her rock to face the best disinfectant - sun - on Fox & Friends this am. Ainsley Earhardt, easy on the eyes in her tight white long-sleeved T shirt and short, body-hugging camel skirt, but hard on the ears, Valley-Girled her way through the news with her high-pitched, tinny, non-credible sing-song canter. The South Carolina girl has never anchored an evening newscast in her thin career as a "journalist." The flat-ironed flaxen-haired girl awkwardly attempted to engage the seasoned veterans in her vapid banality on the new Fox News sofa set. The one who needs to be on the couch is the guy who hired this bimbo. It appears that the new Tee Vee anchorbabe uniform of mini skirts and plunging necklines adorning blonde boneheads with virtually no journalism experience is the Dress For...

A performance of the city clowns is about to begin, and one of them is already praising a diner for his choice of the Tampere speciality, black pudding. When the pot belly, the jacket suit lady, the dancer, and the bus driver start into their workplace well-being rap, even administrative chief Mauri Eskonen smiles behind his plate.

Nightly Ramble: Outlaws, Not quite 1984, Captioned Clowns, The law of avera
2007-03-21 01:25:00 * The Music: The Outlaws first album, 1975. Yes, I seem to be in that neighborhood chronologically, for a couple of weeks now. This one is an old favorite. Probably the most powerful guitar album I am aware of… and I’m not talking about simply to loud and brash; I’m talking about talented playing. Not only can these guys sing.. and their harmonic structure as some of the best of the time, their playing is just flat out awesome. I said years ago, these guys should have a fire extinguisher nearby anytime they play. I still hold that statement true. Too bad, that their first album was so good, because it ended up being hard to top… Ala Boston, from the same time period. * I appear to have taken two honorable mentions in the Caption Contest this week at OTB. * You know, for all the hype about this Barrack Obama 1984 ad, I, for one, don’t think I’d be very pleased about having it done in my name. After all; let’s remember the original purpose o...
