Al Green Posted April 19, 2004 Author Share Posted April 19, 2004 to continue on the binge posting. ..i just saw the second installment of Kill Bill.. and this stuff is related.. first. Shogun and Assasin..... a little background... there were two older movies combined to make what people refer to as "Shogun Assasin"... Sword of Vengence and Baby Cart of Peril. ..but to some it is known as the fantastic manga "Lone Wolf and Cub"...which they've started re-releasing these in the original manga format a few years back..(covers by Frank Miller..to see covers)... but i have yet to have the dispossable income to buy them.. if you come across it.. i just warn you.. its addictively good. http://badassmovieimages.com/movies/shogunassassin/images/shogun-1000-1.jpg'> http://www.moondog.freeuk.com/loan.gif'> The album Liquid Swords uses samples from this movie throughout the album..

Al Green Posted April 19, 2004 Author Share Posted April 19, 2004 Alright.. next topic at hand. a movie by the title.. "the spook who sat near the door".. here is the history behind the film.. i was blessed with a copy of this film almost 5 years ago.. the copy i obtained was quintuple dubbed video print.. which luckily had good sound. This movie was originally slated for release in 1973.. but was shelved prior to hitting the screen. this is a pretty unique movie... and luckily it has just quite recently in the past year been released on DVD.... if you can find it.. its worth a gander. heres a link to a review as with the last movie.. heres another hip hop tidbit.. a snippet from this movie was used by Dead Prez on their freshman album "LETS GET FREE" quite a well executed album i must say. anyways.. if you knew the sample and saw this movie.. i think youd find it amusing.

casekonly Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 spirited away is a definite favorite of mine, i think i'll write all these suggestions you've made in the past few posts down and look out for the movies that i haven't seen. much props . btw: i highly recommend robot carnival. it's several stories wrapped into one movie. the last really gets me..it's about this lonely scientist who builds a robot "wife". he loves her, but she can't love him back for obvious reasons...it's very sad.

Al Green Posted April 19, 2004 Author Share Posted April 19, 2004 He was one of the originators of abstract art. His early work showed a preoccupation with expressive distortion and unusual, often unrealistic, color. From 1911 to 1912, at the same time as the French painter Robert Delaunay, Kupka painted his first completely abstract works, such as Amorpha: Fugue in Two Colors (1912, Národní Galerie, Prague), consisting of colored circular forms and lines in a rhythmic arrangement. He continued his experiments in abstraction, grouping his work into five broad categories—Cycles, Verticals, Verticals and Diagonals, Triangles, and Diagonals. Not as influential as other abstract painters, Kupka did not receive deserved recognition until after his death. — School of Paris painter and wood-engraver; a pioneer of abstract art. Born in Opocno in Eastern Bohemia. Apprenticed as a youth to a master saddler, who initiated him in spiritualism; became a medium. Began to paint and received his first instruction from Studnicka at Jaromer. Afterwards studied at Prague Academy 1889-92 under the Nazarene painter Sequens and at the Vienna Academy 1892-3 under Eisenmenger, also a Nazarene. Influenced by Czech folk art, abstract ornamental patterning and Theosophy. Settled in 1896 in Paris, where he worked first primarily as satirical draughtsman for magazines such as L'Assiette au Beurre and as book illustrator. A friend and neighbour of Jacques Villon from 1901, first in Montmartre, then from 1906 in Puteaux on the outskirts of Paris. His paintings influenced by Symbolism, then Fauvism; experimented from 1909 with ways of rendering figures in motion inspired by high-speed photography. From 1911 his work became abstract with cosmic themes and rhythms, intersecting arabesques, rectilinear vertical planes, etc. First Paris one-man exhibition at the Galerie Povolozky 1921. Wrote a book on his theories, La Cr-23ation dans les Arts Plastiques (first published 1923). Appointed professor by Prague Academy in 1922, to introduce Czech students in Paris to French culture. Co-founder of Abstraction-Cr-23ation 1931, and adopted a more geometrical and classical abstract style. Died in Puteaux. — Kupka was born in Opocno in eastern Bohemia. From 1889 to 1892, he studied at the Prague art academy. At this time, he painted historical and patriotic themes. In 1892, Kupka enrolled at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste, Vienna, where he concentrated on symbolic and allegorical subjects. He exhibited at the Kunstverein, Vienna, in 1894. His involvement with theosophy and Eastern philosophy dates from this period. By spring 1896, Kupka had settled in Paris; there he attended the Académie Julian briefly and then studied with Jean-Pierre Laurens at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. Kupka worked as an illustrator of books and posters and, during his early years in Paris, became known for his satirical drawings for newspapers and magazines. In 1906, he settled in Puteaux, a suburb of Paris, and that same year exhibited for the first time at the Salon d’Automne. Kupka was deeply impressed by the first Futurist manifesto, published in 1909 in Le Figaro. Kupka’s work became increasingly abstract about 1910–1911, reflecting his theories of motion, color, and the relationship between music and painting. In 1911, he attended meetings of the Puteaux group. In 1912, he exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants in the Cubist room, although he did not wish to be identified with any movement. Creation in the Plastic Arts, a book Kupka completed in 1913, was published in Prague in 1923. In 1921, his first solo show in Paris was held at Galerie Povolozky. In 1931, he was a founding member of Abstraction-Création together with Jean Arp, Albert Gleizes, Jean Hélion, Auguste Herbin, Theo van Doesburg, and Georges Vantongerloo. During the early 1950s, Kupka gained general recognition. He died in Puteaux. František Kupka (Czech, 1871-1957) most of this work is date btwn 1910-1920 http://www.nypl.org/research/chss/spe/art/print/sampler/images/kupka.jpg'> http://www.liberipensieri.net/images/arte/kupka3.jpg'> http://www.moma.org/collection/provenance/items/images/563.56.jpg'> http://www.moma.org/collection/provenance/items/images/564.56.jpg'> http://www.moma.org/collection/provenance/items/images/566.56.jpg'> http://www.moma.org/collection/provenance/items/images/1036.83.jpg'> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Green Posted April 19, 2004 Author Share Posted April 19, 2004 GASMASKCULTURE INSTALLMENT 1 Fitting the Gas Mask. 1. Loosen harness head straps. 2. Hold facepiece by straps and put chin in first. 3. Pull harness back over head. 4. Tighten lower straps first, by pulling end-tabs straight back, not out. Tighten side straps the same way. 5. Push headband pad towards neck and repeat step 4. If necessary, tighten the top strap(s) for best visibility and fit. Air-Tightness Test Perform this test each time the gas mask is put on to ensure a sufficient face-to-facepiece seal is achieved before exposure to a hazardous agent. Perform the test as follows: 1. Block off canister inlet using the palm of hand. 2. Inhale gently and hold breath for 10 seconds. If the seal is good, the facepiece will collapse and remain collapsed against face. Remove hand and breathe normally. 3. If the facepiece did not remain collapsed during the test, or any leakage is noticed, readjust straps and test again. 4. If this does not correct the leak, the mask will not provide protection. If the leakage is from the face seal, a different size mask may provide a good seal. If other than face seal leakage is detected, the condition must be corrected before performing another test. ANSI Z88.10 provides guidelines on how to perform a proper fit test. Gas Mask Care and Maintenance Routinely inspect this gas mask for proper operation in anticipation of use in an emergency situation. Replace any components that are found to be defective. Look closely at the mounting thread for the filter and the head straps for excessive wear. If the face lens is badly scratched or yellowed get a replacement lens. You can clean the lens with a soft rag and window cleaner like Windex. To clean the mask, use a soft rag with a mild cleaner and warm water. http://www.jesseshuntingpage.com/images/gas-mask-mcu-2-p-front.jpg'> http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/war-tech-gas-mask-200.jpg'> http://www.proki.org/images/sge1.jpg'> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow Feets Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Good page, unfortunatley, I am on dial-up. Because I am on dial-up, it takes a "buttload" of time to load up all the images. Most of the images I enjoyed and most of the images (okay not most but...) are huge. It's just too much for my little machine. But I have a question about that movie, Triplets of belleville. You, Mr. BHope, said it was recently in theaters. I'm guessing you're not from the states. I'm guessing now... Because I saw a little trailer of that a few months ago on tv. And yes, the animation was pretty amazing. But I didn't catch the movie... Anyways, let me get to the question: Is that an IMAX only movie or is it one of those movies that are in selected cities? I've been wanting to watch it only because of the graphics. I know "diddly-squat" about the storyline. The only thing I remember from the trailer was a little old lady with her dog in some type of caravan... I'm about to do a google search on this bitch. Oh, and Babble On. And hopefully, the next page will contain sketches from the users. Enough with the post whoring of pictures from the internet. :) I'll contribute as well. goodbye.
