The "I've Had My Moments" melody resembles the later hit "How About You?" (1941-42). It occurs after about 30 minutes, just before The Three Stooges appearance this Walter Donaldson and Gus Kahn song became the film's only "new" hit, making the Hit Parades in a version by Lew Sherwood with Eddie Duchin's orchestra. Don't miss the clever "I've Had My Moments" song and dance sequence by Eddie Quillan (as Bob) and June Clyde (as Linda). After a good opening, highlights occur sporadically. The party goes on too long - well, it seems too long even in a short movie. And Jimmy Durante's movie "Jane" is Johnny "Tarzan" Weissmuller's wife Lupe Velez. This is a "revue" picture hanged around a spoof of MGM's "Tarzan" with Durante starring. Hardy wearing a torn suit jacket (understandably, considering). You will see The Three Stooges (Larry, Moe and Curly) and wonder where you missed Stan and Ollie. Contrary to the promotional and opening credits, this film does not star Laurel and Hardy. Durante's newest loin-cloth adventure "Schnarzan the Conqueror!!!" Durante concludes the film franchise needs livelier lions, and has a "Hollywood Party" to celebrate the fact. After seeing Greta Garbo's famous close-up conclude "Queen Christina" (1933), audiences pan a preview of Mr. Hollywood jungle king Jimmy Durante (as "Schnarzan") is getting a little lion in the tooth.

As the climate crisis deepens and the literature on the subject grows, A People's Green New Deal contributes a distinctive perspective to the debate. Resolving this crisis, he argues, requires nothing less than an infrastructural and agricultural transformation in the Global North, and the industrial convergence between North and South. Ajl diagnoses the roots of the current socio-ecological crisis as emerging from a world-system dominated by the logics of capitalism and imperialism. Critically engaging with their proponents, ideological underpinnings and limitations, he goes on to sketch out a radical alternative: a 'People's Green New Deal' committed to decommodification, working-class power, anti-imperialism and agro-ecology. But what - and for whom - is the Green New Deal? In this concise and urgent book, Max Ajl provides an overview of the various mainstream Green New Deals. It has become a watchword in the current era of global climate crisis. The idea of a Green New Deal was launched into popular consciousness by US Congressperson Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in 2018. But it turns out to be the place of true belonging, and it’s the bravest and most sacred place you will ever stand. The wilderness can often feel unholy because we can’t control it, or what people think about our choice of whether to venture into that vastness or not. It is a place as dangerous as it is breathtaking, a place sought after as it is feared. She writes:īelonging so fully to yourself that you’re willing to stand alone is a wilderness – an untamed, unpredictable place of solitude and searching. Throughout the book, Brené uses the image of the wilderness as a backdrop for her research on what it means to feel true belonging. And as it turns out, being in nature is actually really good for your health. We only stay in the mountains for a couple of days, but I always look forward to the trip as a peaceful retrieve from the noise and frenzy of the city. Is it terrible to admit that what immediately attracted me to Brené Brown’s new book “ Braving the Wilderness” – other than the fact that it’s written by Brené – is the front cover? The backdrop of a beautiful, mountainous forest reminds me of my annual leaf-peeping trip to New Hampshire. “The joy that I have with this play is that everyone can do what they like, so everybody is very memorable in how they function,” Brewer said. Brewer said those choruses are often translated until they lose value, so the three-man band is replacing the chorus sections with Woodstock-era songs that mirror the content of the original poems. In traditional Greek plays, there are two main acts each followed by a musical chorus. The play, which has been in the works since the beginning of the Fall 2022 semester has an active cast of 14, along with what Brewer called an army of understudies, and a three-man band.īrewer said the band includes two guitarists and a drummer. Cast members rehearse a scene from Lysistrata during dress rehearsal Tuesday, Jan. But it is important to note that he gave his advice not because GDP growth, inflation and interest rates do not matter for your stock returns, but because he does not believe it is possible to predict it. Warren Buffett has taught us not to focus too much on macro indicators and look at individual businesses instead. And this is not the forecast made by Paul Volcker in his book. It is, of course, not a forecast that I would like to make. Falling confidence and rising expectations of a continued rise in prices (regardless of a particular reason, which could be a fiscal stimulus, supply bottlenecks, labour shortage, logistics etc.) are the key ingredients for higher inflation in the future. The train, probably, has already left the station. I think that a period of falling interest rates over the past 30+ years has been accompanied by a strong belief in the general soundness of the financial system in key markets, particularly the US.īut things are likely to be changing now. That trust takes time to build, and once it is lost, it is challenging to restore it. The health of any financial system is based on the trust of its participants in that system and its regulator. My biggest takeaway from the book is that inflation is driven not so much by macroeconomic factors (labour, demand, commodity prices etc.), but rather is a psychological phenomenon. Dateline NBC, the Discovery Channel, and the History Channel have featured The Ice Master and Jennifer in hour-long documentaries, she and the book have appeared frequently on the BBC, and the book has been the subject of numerous German, Canadian, and British television documentaries. Jennifer and The Ice Master have appeared in Newsweek, Entertainment Weekly, Talk, Glamour, The New Yorker, Outside, The New York Times Book Review, The London Daily Mail, The London Times, and Writer's Digest, among others. A Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writer, Jennifer has ten different publishers in ten separate countries, and the book has been translated into eight languages, including German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Danish, and Icelandic. Even though she's always wanted to be a Charlie's Angel, her true passion is writing, and her first book, The Ice Master, was released in November 2000 and named one of the top ten nonfiction books of the year by Entertainment Weekly. Jennifer Niven lives in Los Angeles (where her film Velva Jean Learns to Drive won an Emmy Award and she once played the part of Shania Twain in a music video). Kafuku said he can become someone by acting and it’s fun, and people all play roles. Acting is a psychological and spiritual activity too. And it’s an enjoyable and refreshing act also a life-threatening act that hurts and damages other(s) and self.Īlso, this story is a story about actors and acting. It is like playing a musical instrument, communicating to the environment or the world, a reflection of self and a spiritual treatment for one’s mind. Driving a car in this novel is a psychological and spiritual activity. But car is not only a machine, one’s driving reflects the human mind, sensibility, characteristics and personality. This story is a story about car as a machine. Yes I’m gonna be a star.” (A girl said to a boy.), this title is an irony to Kafuku. But you can do something in between’.” and “Baby, you can drive my car. But concerning from the lyrics, “She said, ‘baby, can’t you see I want to be famous, a star on the screen. The content is not directly relevant to the Beatles’ song, Drive My Car. This story is a story about driving as a spiritual activity, acting as a common activity and differences between men and women. Just because I think gay dudes should be allowed to adopt kids and we should all have hybrid cars doesn’t mean I don’t love America. Her show 30 Rock has been called one of the most liberal on air, probably because of Alec Baldwin’s over-the-top conservative corporatist character and lines like this from Fey’s character, Liz Lemon: But whatever she leaves to speculation with religion, she makes up for in politics. Not exactly a profession of faith, but a sign maybe that she is connected enough to her religion to use God in humor. ((, A Mother’s Prayer for Her Child By Tina Fey., Write In Color.)) O Lord, break the Internet forever, that she may be spared the misspelled invective of her peers. The only other clue we have is from her book Bossypants in which she wrote “A Mother’s Prayer for Her Child.” In it, she implores the Lord to make sure she doesn’t get tattoos or sleep with drummers and to: Otherwise she hasn’t talked about her faith, and we have no basis for making a conclusion about how religious she is. Tina Fey was born and raised in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania close to Philadelphia.įey is an adherent of Greek Orthodox Christianity, of which people only seem to be aware because she was married in a Greek Orthodox ceremony.
