Perform Sex

 

The People screamed, 

The Fire went everywhere. 

So I was called into the office in the next couple of days. And who do I see when I sit down in the office, waiting like you're in the jail or you're in the principal's office? I see Timothy Treadwell. I was like, "Hey, How are you? I know I've seen you. I'm Jewel." He said, "I'm Tim." I said, "What are you in for?" He said, "I'm in for walking funny in the dining room." He said, "What did you do?" I said, "I lit the soup cart on fire." He said, "That was you?" 

And you know, it wasn't love at first sight, but it was certainly kindred spirits. 

Only Timmy is the boss of all foxes and all bears. You're their ruler. Look at that face. Hey, thanks for being my friend. This is so good. Does that feel good? We patrol the Grizzly Sanctuary together. How did we meet? Over a decade ago. He left his mother and father's side, promptly peed on my shoes, pooped on my clothes, that was it. He was my friend. Timmy, the fox. Yep. And we watch over things. And he's the boss. Takes care of everything. Yep, yep. He says, "I love the way you pet." I think one of the things that's really important is you can see the bond that has developed between this very wild animal and this very, fairly wild person. And you realize he has this gorgeous fur, and people are trying to kill him for it with steel door traps and cruel farming practices. And other people run him down on horses for sport. Fox hunting. We want this to end. Between Timmy, the fox, this beautiful fox, and me, we ask the public, please stop killing and hurting these foxes and torturing them. Don't you think? If they knew how beautiful he was, and how sweet he was, they would never hurt him. Thanks. 

Timothy used his camera as a tool 

to get his message across. 

Sometimes it was very playful. 

Do another take here. 

I fucked up the last one. 

Almost fell off the cliff. 

I'm a fucking asshole. 

Behind me is the Grizzly Sanctuary and also behind me, hidden down below in those trees somewhere, is my camp. 

I must stay incognito. 

I must hide from the authorities. 

I must hide from people 

who would harm me. 

I must now hide from people 

that seek me out because 

I've made some sort of, 

I don't want to say celebrity, 

but they come to Alaska and 

hear about Treadwell in the bush 

and they want to go find him. 

Well, they can't. 

I'm hidden down below. 

No one knows where I am. 

Even I don't know where I am. 

That's pretty shitty. Let's do 

a really short take here. 

But as a filmmaker, he was methodical.

Whatever.

Often repeating takes times. 
One more really short, excellent take. Let's just really sum it up. Here we go. This is gonna be the motherfucker. Behind me is the Grizzly Sanctuary, and also hidden below is my camp. For I must now remain hidden from the authorities, from people who would harm me, from people who would seek me out as a story. My future helping the animals depends on it. I must be a spirit in the wilderness. With himself as the central character, he began to craft his own movie, something way beyond the wildlife film. There is going to be a number of takes I'm gonna do. These are called "Wild Timmy Jungle Scenes." We're gonna do several takes of each where I'll do it with a bandanna on, maybe a bandanna off. Maybe two different colored bandannas. Some without a bandanna, some with the camera being held. I kind of stumbled. Let's do it again. So the basic deal is that this stuff could be cut into a show later on, but who knows what look I had, whether I had the black bandanna or no bandanna. Very rarely the camo one, but I like the camo look. Both cameras rolling. Both cameras rolling. Both cameras rolling! Sexy green bandanna, last take of the evening. I'm on my way to the creek. I need to get water. And there's a super-duper low tide. Full moon tonight, and action. 
In his action movie mode, Treadwell probably did not realize that seemingly empty moments had a strange, secret beauty. Sometimes images themselves developed their own life, 
their own mysterious stardom. 
Starsky and Hutch. Over. 
Beyond his posings, the camera was his only present companion. 
It was his instrument to explore the wilderness around him, 
but increasingly it became something more. 
He started to scrutinize his innermost being, his demons, his exhilarations. 
Facing the lens of a camera took on the quality of a confessional. 
Covering various years, the following samples illustrate the search for himself. 
If there... I have no idea if there's a God. But if there's a God, God would be very, very... pleased with me. If he could just watch me here, how much I love them, how much I adore them, how respectful I am to them. How I am one of them. And how the studies they give me, the photographs, the video... And take that around for no charge to people around the world. It's good work. I feel good about it. I feel good about myself doing it. And I want to continue, and I hope I can. I really hope I can. But if not, be warned. I will die for these animals. I will die for these animals. I will die for these animals. Thank you so much for letting me do this. Thank you so much for these animals, for giving me a life. I had no life. Now I have a life. Now, enough of that. Now let the expedition continue. It's off to Timmy, the fox. We've gotta find Banjo. He's missing! And that's my story here, for me, Timothy Treadwell, the kind warrior. Can I take it? I'm trying. Okay, yeah, I can do it. Yeah. Why not? Why not? I've crossed the halfway point. Government's given me all they have. So far. I've stood up to it. I've had danger in the boat, almost died. I've almost fallen off a cliff. Yeah. The danger factor's about to amp up in the Maze. The Maze is always the most dangerous. 
Lord, I do not want to be hurt by a bear. I do not. 

I always cannot understand why

 girls don't wanna be with me 

for a long time, because 

I have really a nice 

personality. I'm fun. 
I'm very, very good in the... 
You're not supposed to say 

that when you're a guy. 
But I know I am. 

They know I am. And... 
I don't fight with them, 

I'm so passive. Bit of a patsy! 
Is that a turnoff to girls, 

to be a patsy? I mean it's not... 
it's not that I'm a total great guy. 
I'm a lot of fun and 

have a good life going. 

I don't know what's going on. 

I always wished I was gay. Would've been a lot easier. You know? You can just "bing-bing-bing." Gay guys have no problem. I mean, they go to 

restrooms and truck stops, and 

they perform sex. It's like so 

easy for 'em and stuff. 

But you know what? 
Alas, Timothy Treadwell 

is not gay. Bummer!

I love girls! And girls... 

Girls need a lot more... 

need a lot more, you know, 

finesse and care, 
and I like that a bit. 

But when it goes bad 

and you're alone, it's like... 

Well, you know, 

you can't rebound 

like you can if you were gay. 

I'm sure gay people have problems too, but 

not as much as one 

goofy straight guy named 

Timothy Treadwell. 

Anyway, that's my story. 

That's my story. I love you. Look at you. You're the best little fox. 

But how did I come into this work, Iris? 

Did you ever get the story? 

I was troubled. I was troubled. I drank a lot. 

Did you know that? You wouldn't even know what that is. But 

I used to drink to the point

 of that I guess I was either 

gonna die from it 

or break free of it. 

But nothing, nothing, Iris, could 

get me from... to stop drinking. Nothing! I went to programs. 

I tried quitting myself. 

I did everything that I could to try not to drink, and then I did everything I could to drink. 

And... And it was killing me until I discovered this land of bears and realized that they were in such great danger that they needed A Caretaker, they needed someone to look after them. But not a drunk person. 

Not a person messed up. 

So I promised the bears that if I would look over them, would they please help me be a better person and they've become so inspirational, and living with the foxes too, that I did, I gave up the drinking. It was a miracle. 

It was an absolute miracle.

And the miracle was animals. 

The miracle was animals. 

I live here. It's very dangerous. It's really dangerous. I run wild with the bears. I run so wild, so free, so like a child with these animals. 

It's really cool. And 

it's very serious. 

I'm here alone, and when you're all alone you do get... you get lonely. 

Oh, duhl Right? You get pretty lonely. 

Oh, no. I'm gonna do 

all this stuff because 

I'm supposed to be alone. 

Amie :

Oh. Okay. 

Part of the mythical character Treadwell was transforming himself into 

required him to be seen as being 

completely alone. 

He was mostly alone, but 

he did spend time with women 

who will here remain anonymous. 

The Truth is that Amie Huguenard 

accompanied him for parts 

of his last two summers --

A fact which was out of step 

with his stylization as the lone 

guardian of the grizzlies. 

It's July and I've been dropped off all alone again here in the Grizzly Maze. 

And it's always such a surreal 

feeling as the plane takes off. 

And it doesn't quite sink into you 

just how alone you are. 

That for the next two months or more you will be alone in this wild wilderness, this jungle that the bears have carved tunnels through. And that's the Grizzly Maze. It's July. 

I hope to survive and to be able to record the secret world of the bears. And come September when people might come to harm these animals, I'll look after them, I'll make sure they're safe. It is so weird, though, when it sinks in, how alone you are. 

Finally and Definitively WRONG

 

“I think it is one of the greatest stupidities, 

greatest mistakes of The 20th Century; 

there's something finally and definitively 

WRONG about Psychoanalysis.

All my figures in my films are not really 

psychoanalysis; they are not captured with 

psychoanalysis and I believe that 

explaining EVERY dark little 

corner that we have in our soul 

is a very unhealthy and a very stupid 

and a very dangerous thing —

We should NOT do that. 

Q. : Why? 

Because when you inhabit A House 

and you illuminate every last corner 

of The House with strong lights, 

The House becomes uninhabitable;

and Human Beings illuminated to 

the very last corner of their darkest soul

become inhuman and uninhabitable — 

And sometimes I make a comparison 

with The Spanish Inquisition;

The Spanish Inquisition has not done 

Good to anyone at all, and it's a big 

mistake of the 14th and 15th century, 

16th Century because — 

They are, by force of Torture, you had 

to explain the very deepest nature 

of Your Faith; because they tried to 

eliminate remaining Muslim traces 

from, from Society — it has not 

done Good to anyone. 

The Spanish Inquisition 

was a catastrophic event, and 

in my opinion, Sigmund Freud 

and psychoanalysis is a 

catastrophic event of 

similar magnitude —”

Do you think that this then is perhaps uh yert as vedically described an era of darkness the kali yuga yeah so there's um four ages that go around and around and around oh you got a problem no we just hold that up that's periods of time that that means 30 minutes of talking has happened now we've demonstrated that using the three and a zero that's three ten minute period so that we are doing good i think we're doing fantastically well i'd stay here and talk to you you know until you're tired of it i know you have you have restrictions but you're saying about that yeah there's these giant giant blocks of time and in the field of relativity um everything has a lifespan so some really short some very very long and um there's these giant blocks of time and down in the quicker blocks of time there's these things called yuga's ages there's satyuga and satyuga is the longest of the four ages and satyuga is uh 100 bliss a golden age and people live to be a hundred thousand years during the sat yuga and uh then the next yuga is the treta yuga and it is three-quarters the length of satyuga and it's 75 bliss 25 percent non-bliss or you could say 75 positive 25 negative and people live to be 10 000 years old in that yuga then there's uh i think de paris you pronounce it um half the length of satyuga and in that yuga people live to be a thousand years and it is fifty percent bliss fifty percent non-bliss then there's the kali yuga the shortest of the four yugas one quarter the length of satyuga people live to be about a hundred years in the kali yuga it's 75 percent non-bliss 25 bliss and it could even go down to almost zero and uh the kali yuga lasts 432 000 years oh no and we're 5 000 years into it right now yeah that's what we might see out so um and it's a tough time it's a time of suffering and um but uh souls can come in into this yuga and uh who uh either you could say um [Music] it's not all bad but we you could say we all deserve to be here during this time you could say that and um so here we are and but they say uh there's these periods of uh kind of a recess and there's the age of aquarius they and there's our solar system they say goes around a thing i think osiris is the name it takes 25 000 years it's divided into 12. so there's these periods of 2000 years or so and we're just now leaving the piscean age going into the aquarium age and this may be the thing of a chance for 2 000 or more or more or more years of peace and so um that's something nice to think about [Laughter] i'm gonna have a real good think about that yeah but see mari she brought a way for peace that's the thing richard russell and um we gotta you know um i think you are you know uh so powerful you could use your good power to help that you know get going in this world and uh this would be very very good do you think that david that the what the maharishi is talking about what this system is talking about is uh liberating ourselves from the darkness of this period of khali by accessing the transcendent not being caught in the world of forms which are often referred to as illusory in vedic literature that we can even if we are living in some kind of pre-ordained yoga some period of time that is beyond us to control or limit or end that we can experience some bliss if we are able to not necessarily resist relinquish our uh the hypnosis of material things in this way you the secret is transcending every day when you transcend every day every time a human being transcends they infuse some of that pure consciousness that exists in the transcendent so they begin to truly expand whatever amount of consciousness they had to begin with this expansion of consciousness is the expansion of intelligence creativity happiness love energy power and peace all positive so you get a person meditating every day transcending every day they're growing in these all positive qualities and the side effect is negativity is starting to recede from their life so in the middle of a dark age they're becoming a brighter and brighter light they're they're they're happier and happier their relationships are improving more and more they're getting more energy they're getting all this stuff and they're they're unfolding their full potential which is enlightenment so it doesn't matter if it's the kali yuga or any other age they're going to get the big enchilada you know the it's enlightenment you're home free then total fulfillment immortality total liberation you step off the wheel of birth and death and you're home free --

It's difficult for us to understand a concept like ‘Enlightenment’, because I suppose 

we place it on some 

‘What I Want to Say’-metric 

of Pleasure and Happiness 

which is sort of bounded 

by our experiences 

as individuals, they

pause for a moment

D.L. :

— cut this out.

R.B. :

No, no we'll leave this in;

we'll leave in every single second —

(….even the bit where you 

called me Richard, but --)

D.L. :

I'm sorry —

R.B. :

….I can take it, I can take it —

In endless limitless space,

I probably am ‘Richard’, 

somewhere in these 

multiverses —

D.L. :

and I bet he's having 

a wonderful time --

R.B. :

....yeah, no i don't like…. What —

I've not used pornography for ages, 

because I thought that it 

was nurturing an aspect 

of myself that was 

not beneficial —

You know, I felt that... 

I felt that it's gone beyond a kind 

of a moral perspective, if I may say, 

because I know erotica is, and I mean, 

perhaps even pornography is something 

that you're interested in, because 

I know you like The Carnal, 

I know you like The Animal --

D.L. :

I love a natural phenomenon, yeah, organic 

natural phenomenon, for sure —

R.B. :

Yeah, you do like a natural 

organic phenomenon. 

D.L. :

I love organic phenomenon

David Lynch on becoming a director

Q. : Why did you want to become A Director? 

David : I didn't really want to 

become A Director, I wanted to make films -- 

I knew next door to nothing about film; I wanted to be A Painter and I was A Painter, and I was in a studio working on a painting of a garden at night; and The Green was coming out of this Black and I heard a wind, and I saw The Green move; and I said, "Oh, that is interesting --"

and I thought it would be good to do a moving painting so there was an experimental painting and sculpture contest at the end of the year at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts where I went to school and for that contest I did a sculptured screen with three heads out of polyester resin and some painting on the screen about six feet by eight feet the screen was and then I stop motion kind of animated but in a stop-motion fashion a uh thing that I called 'Six Men Getting Sick'; and that was my uh film in 16 millimeter a little tiny bell and howl camera that had single frame capabilities and it was so expensive to make that film relative to what I had that I thought that would be it that it was just an experiment but someone saw that and commissioned me to make one for him and that led to another whole thing falling in love with film and uh getting green lights I made um a short film called the alphabet and with the money I got from this gentleman who commissioned me and there's there's a whole bunch of things that happened but I ended up making not what he wanted but um something that combined animation and live action and then I wrote a script for a film called the grandmother and at that time the American Film Institute was starting and they were offering independent filmmaker grants and on a real long shot because they wanted previous work and a script and I had both those things so on this long shot I applied for an independent filmmakers Grant and the first group I wasn't in the first group but and I had to wait a long time but I got a phone call that changed my life completely because I won this grant to make the grandmother and I made the grandmother and on the strength of that I got accepted to the American Film Institute which was in Beverly Hills California in a mansion um and I thought I died and gone to heaven so I went out there and uh one thing led to another and I got the opportunity to make Eraserhead

Our lives are not long, but they're very bright.

We certainly die honorably, 

and we join our fathers in the Black Fleet.

There we always really 

continue fighting.

We won't stop. We continue 

fighting. We compete.

The Heart of Virtue

Klingon Primer: Heart of Virtue

“You have all known since childhood, The Symbol of Our Empire; that has been called many names throughout the ages, perhaps the least understood — is The Heart of Virtue or tika gor in the ancient tongue….

The heart of virtue originated from an archaic weapon favoured by Kahless, The Unforgettable — it is said he chose this as The Symbol of His House and weight of The Empire because of the weapon’s unequaled balance, yet this is inaccurate….

Kahless chose it because each of the three blades represents those virtues that are the very foundation of every True Warrior : Honour, Loyalty and Duty, each in perfect balance….

Of these three, Duty is the first virtue, which is The Beginning and The End of The Warriors path; without Duty, a Warrior becomes the slave of vainglory and reckless self-interest — No True Warrior could ever tolerate these vices, neither in his comrades nor in himself….

Remember, this glory is like a circle in the water which never ceases to enlarge itself, so by broad-spreading, disperses through 

The Warrior never seeks Glory; 

Glory always finds him :

So, this is The Answer —

Polish The Blade of Beauty, 

sharpen its edge so there 

is nothing it cannot kiss — 

Do not be lulled into 

believing this is enough 

the longest blade of the heart of virtue 

belongs to honour, which is the most difficult to master… 

It has been said ‘Mine Honour is My Life,

in that I Live and for that I will die —”

What is Honour….? 

Honour is the absolute and 

unselfish adherence to all virtues :

to Truth; to Courage; to Forthrightness —

It encompasses all these and yet it is greater is the fire human ating the differences between an arm sabbath true warrior it is the light that will guide you along the Warriors path look around this great hall what do you see many of your peers are gone yet you remain that is as it should be the weak must fall to give place to the strong do not allow yourselves to grow callous security is mortals chiefest enemy all true warriors travel the same river of blood if one is disgraced we are all disgraced if one finds his death in glory we all share in that glory no true warrior would allow another to suffer an unjust disgrace nor would begrudge him the fruits of a well-earned victory know this and your mastery of the heart of virtue will be all but complete they ignore it and you will ultimately fail yourselves as you fail your comrades that is why the final blade of the heart of virtue signifies loyalty because we are all united by our common journey you have come to understand the meaning of the three virtues how they may be applied but understanding does not equate muster true mastery can only be achieved with perfect balance therein lies the challenge and mystery of the heart of virtue any warrior deficient in one aspect is ultimately doomed to fail 

Therefore ask yourselves : 

Is Your Honour perfect?

Are you unerring in Your Duty? 

Is Your Loyalty beyond reproach? 

Every Warrior's Life is The Empire, but 

Every Warrior’s Soul is His Own —

this balance is a quest that may require a lifetime to fulfill it's just not a lesson that can be taught it is something you must discover for yourselves as you travel the river of blood

Dr. Pretorius

Neil Gaiman On Bride Of Frankenstein | BFI

"The first Gothic that I fell in love 

with was Bride of Frankenstein --

I probably would have been about 12, stayed 

up for it and it was one of those late night 

Saturday Horror things, where they 

showed both -- you got Frankenstein 

and Bride of Frankenstein, 

and Frankenstein was a 

huge disappointment to me; 

What been expecting.... I don't 

know what I'd expected, 

but somehow what I 

wanted was was much more —

What I got -- Bride of Frankenstein 

on the other hand was delirious 

Um, it had this very very strange plot 

that I didn't understand as a boy, in which, 

you know a lab has burned down already; 

you have this mysterious Dr. Pretorius --

 

I was never quite sure what 

he was doing with 

little homunculus -- 

these tiny little people 

and he was making them and then, 

he's working with Frankenstein to build 

A Bride for The Monster 

and then it turns up, and it's Elsa 

Lanchester and it's my favourite --

what is it, two, three minutes 

at most of film ever, is between 

Karloff and Elsa Lanchester 

coming to Life seeing bars 

Calif friend screaming, 

him hitting The 'We 

Belong DEAD!'-switch 

and and everything that's... 

I just think that's perfect um ---

I had no idea what it was about -- quite 

what had happened and I felt afterwards 

like I'd watched something faintly dreamlike.

The peculiar thing about Bride of Frankenstein 

was it stayed one of my favorite films um 

I have seen it every few years, um -- whenever I could, 

in whatever way I could, and I even showed it to my daughter when she was about 11 or 12 and really into movies and watching her peculiar disappointment and it realizing that if I'd shown her at that age you know Frankenstein Meets The Wolfman nice big amiable film with proper villains and things she would have loved it instead it was this film that is all atmosphere and all strange slightly camp oddness and again this this a plot that is almost impossible to describe because it doesn't quite make sense enough to be describable it's like a dream on waking you accept it moment by moment as you go and then Bride of Frankenstein is done that we belong dead switch has been pulled and and it's all over and you go what what was that what was that one minute where there's there's the beautiful young Elsa Lanchester actually getting to act playing Mary Shelley sing oh yes there's more and the next you're into this strange hyperbolic hyper-real dream world and it's I think it's magic you
