GERARD PALAPRAT: SPACE ODDITY (GERARD chante une version traduite de David Bowie de paroles en français, je fais le même pour cet essay!)

http://www.gonzai.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/palaband.jpg

Nous avons trop souvent utilisé et galvaudé ici un terme que je méprise : la modernité./We have too often used and misused the term that I despise: modernity.

Franchement cela me rappelle plus le personnage éponyme de Brétécher qu’une quelconque possibilité d’évolution iste./

Frankly it reminds me more of Brétécher's avant-gard, eponymous character.

Et j’en ai encore eu la preuve la semaine dernière./And I had proof last week.

Alors que, esseulé un soir de novembre, plateau-repas sur la cuisse où le portable Dell n’est pas, démarre un vieux Paris Dernière, j’entends résonner les premières notes, sacrées, de Space Oddity./While one evening in November, dinner on the thigh when my portable Dell would not start , I read an old Paris Dernière, while listening to the first notes of the sacred, Space Oddity.

Pour moi, c’est le morceau où Bowie commence sa voie. Devient lui-même, innovant en cherchant à détourner la production comme le firent les Beatles avant lui sur leurs meilleurs morceaux. /For me, it's the song where Bowie began his path; it becomes preservative in seeking to divert production as the Beatles did before him on their best songs.

Détourner pour donner une double lecture. Pretty smart sur un album au demeurant complètement pop, gnangnan d’anglicitude morose qui ne convenait qu’aux fumeurs d’herbe aimant se promener dans la lande, cintrés dans des pantalons rouges carmin et des chemises bouffantes./Diverting for a double play. Pretty smart on an album to remain completely pop, benignant of Anglicization not be morose as smoking grass magnet walk in the land, bent in carmine red pants and shirts food.

Et là, sous mes yeux, il est encore utilisé à mêmes fins par le réalisateur (alors Frédéric Taddeï) pour donner un point de fuite dans une vue de soirée parisienne trop joviale pour être honnête. Vous perdez la tête mesdames, rangez ce sein que nous ne saurions voir et reconnaissez que c’est l’alcool qui vous fait sourire, ou les antidépresseurs avalés avant de venir.

/And there, under my eyes, it is still used for the same purpose by the director (then Frederic Taddei) to provide a leak in a Parisian evening too jovial to be honest. Don't lose your head ladies, keep it within emotional surface and acknowledge that alcohol makes you smile, or antidepressants swallowed before coming.

Mais soudain, j’en renverse ma tartine de rillettes/cornichon : on chante en français! /But suddenly, I overthrew my sandwich of rillettes / pickle: sing in French!

Sur mon Bowie ? Qui ose ? On my Bowie? Who dares?

Recherches faites illico, c’est Gérard Palaprat qui reprit le morceau deux ans seulement après le divin blondinet britannique. Véritable ‘interprétation’ comme à l’époque où The House Of The Rising Sun devenait Les Portes Du Pénitencier, les paroles en sont une traduction affreusement plate, oubliant tout double sens et pur esprit poétique. Damned! comme on dit dans Tintin.

/Searches made illico is Gerard Palaprat who said the song just two years after the divine Blondie British. Real 'interpretation' as to when The House Of The Rising Sun became Les Portes Du Penitentiary, the lyrics are a translation awfully flat, two-way forgetting everything pure and poetic spirit. Damned! as they say in Tintin.

Quid de Palaprat, me demandais-je en revenant des toilettes. Et bien si je vous dis que c’est un ami de Dewaere, Lenorman, et Patrice Drevet (sic !) qui fit un passage par le Petit Conservatoire de Mireille (début de vertiges), repéré par Maurice Chevalier (tenez-moi je vais mal) avant de faire partie intégrante trois ans durant de la troupe de Hair, commencerez vous à vous représentez le portrait ?

/What about Palaprat, I was wondering back of the toilet. And if I tell you that a friend of Dewaere, Wolf, and Patrice Drevet (sic) who made a passage by the Petit Conservatoire de Mireille (start of vertigo), spotted by Maurice Chevalier before making an integral part of three years during the troupe Hair, you begin to represent the portrait?

Après une carrière convenue dans la variété française auprès de Julien Clerc, Sardou et Antoine, Palaprat rend les gants, et part en Inde rejoindre Ram Sandra Mistri, un maître du sitar…/After a career in the hereafter with French Julien Clerc, Sardou and Antoine, Palaprat makes gloves, and joins hands in India Ram Sandra Mistri, a master of sitar ...

Sa bio personnelle indique qu’il est aujourd’hui/ His personal bio says he is now

« apaisé sur le 45e parallèle de l’Océan Atlantique, pratique tous les jours AMAROLI et partage son temps entre les galas et la méditation, le TAÏ SHI SHUAN et la Phytotherapie, médecine Ayurvédique, et autres enseignements… »./

"pacified on the 45th parallel of the Atlantic Ocean, practice every day AMAROLI and divides his time between galas and meditation, Tai SHI Shuan and herbal medicine, Ayurveda medicine, ... and other lessons."

Comprenne qui peut l’utilisation des majuscules./Which may include the use of capital letters.

Alors je voudrais, avant de vous permettre vous aussi de l’écouter (il n’y a pas de raison que ce soit toujours les mêmes qui souffrent), vous mettre tous en garde.

/So I would like you to listen (there is no reason why it is always the same people who suffer) you put all on hold.

Si Bowie a été un moderniste durant une bonne partie de sa carrière et qu’aujourd’hui nous sommes tentés de considérer cette pop-là comme un retour à quelque chose de sain, de pur, n’oublions jamais ce qu’il en advint.

/If Bowie was a modernist during much of his career and today we are tempted to consider that pop was as a return to something healthy, pure, never forget what happened .


N’oublions jamais que la France n’a jamais été un terreau fertile pour ce qui avait si bien pris en terres anglophones. N’oublions jamais le fossé qui sépare Hollywood de Maritie et Gilbert Carpentier.

/Let us never forget that France has never been a fertile ground for what had taken so well in English-speaking lands. Let us never forget the gap between Hollywood and Marita Gilbert Carpentier.

Welcome to the Short Films Blog

This week: Short films within feature films
Next week: The Quintessentials! The Best of the Short Films Blog, as assessed by those who wrote for it

Thanks for checking this space on the Internet devoted to the little films, featuring student entries on specific short films. Each entry responds to a different weekly theme, which is identified in the labels. The films written about here are therefore not meant to be seen as quintessential (or even essential), but they provide a nice cross-section of the multitude of short films.

Feel free to browse through the entries, which will feature new entries daily through December 11th, 2008 -- and please leave comments for entries that fascinate you. (Students will actually receive extra credit if their entries start a healthy conversation within the comments.)

Thanksgiving
Grindhouse--Fake trailer
Directed by Eli Roth



Thanksgiving is one of the five fake trailers featured during Tarantino's /Rodriguez's feature exclusively called Grindhouse. The double feature consists of Rodriguez's Planet Terror followed by Tarantino's Death Proof. I have a pretty good feeling most, if not of all of this blog's viewer's have at least heard of this gruesome duo, so I'll restrain from getting into the gory details of either film.

The great part of this nearly 3 hour double feature wasn't the crazy, disgusting, almost vomit inducing special effects, but instead, the advertisements for fake trailers that are featured before each segment. According to Rodriguez, the original plan was to make both films fake trailers reflecting those of the early 1970's, but clearly that didn't happen.

The trailers were all shot in two days, but the short time spent on these films doesn't reflect their quality, whatsoever. (wink)

The trailer I chose was for the fake slasher movie called Thanksgiving, directed by Eli Roth. The trailer was produced in the style of holiday type slasher movies like the well known Halloween.The trailer stars jeff rendell as a killer who stalks and kills people as if he is carving a thanksgiving turkey. Jordan Ladd, Jay Hernandez and Roth himself play Rendell's intended victims.

Not only is the voiceover ( Roth, himself) extremely creepy, but the mere sound that the killer's weapon makes as he kills each of his victims makes me close my eyes in disgust every time. The worst scene, by far is the last scene of the actual thanksgiving meal where all the family is gathered around the table and..well.. you'll see when you watch the trailer yourself.


Austinpussy

(from Austin Powers in Goldmember)

Directed by Jay Roach
2003, USA

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I’d blog about Goldmember in an academic setting, but sometimes the gods of bad cinema shine their light upon thee, and it’s all one can do to take advantage of this moment. There are very few shorts within a feature that seem like a non-sequitur to the rest of the film, but then again there are very few films that seem to be composed of a string of non-sequiturs itself. Austin Powers in Goldmember could be defined as so, a post-modern clusterfuck that sheds more insight into the way Hollywood perceives the general public’s notion of entertainment than the average big-budget abomination. The opening Austinpussy, without having relevance to the plot (which is flimsy at that,) actually instills the tone for the rest of the film, as the audience is treated to a movie within a movie for the first and not the last time throughout.

Grounding most of its action film parody in Mission Impossible 2-era John Woo, the film’s style is notably different than any from the previous episodes of the franchise. Helicopters explode, a high-speed chase ensues through the badlands, and Austin Powers skydives into action. Basically, this is not anything likely the comedic style of the first two films. However, it all makes sense when the main characters are revealed to be various mega-stars, such as Tom Cruise, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Spacey, and Danny Devito. Before the audience is able to grasp the situation, it’s revealed that it’s a clip from the Steven Spielberg directed Austinpussy, and the real movie begins.

These are the first images of the film, and they star none of the actors who dominate the next 90 minutes. This parody is more indebted to the previous films in the series than Interestingly enough, compared to The Larry Sanders Show or Tropic Thunder, the humor isn’t in how these Hollywood superstars lampoon themselves, but in how they satriize characters the audience is familiar with. Cruise doesn’t even attempt to affect a British accent, toothily smiling his way through a “yeah baby.” Paltrow, pre-Chris Martin’s daily inspiration, fills the role of vapid but dangerous femme fatale with the thinly-veiled double entendre of a name. Spacey laughably hams it up as Dr. Evil and Devito is short, so he makes a perfect fit as Mini-Me. As if the audience doesn’t know who these celebrities are, they add titles to a freeze-framed image of each. We laugh because we know who these people are, and they don't belong in an Austin Powers film.

Numerous reviews of the film commented that there was more quality comedy filmmaking in the opening parody than in the rest of the film. And they’re right— there’s something inspired in these three minutes of absurdity, as if the filmmakers themselves took a step back from joylessly force-feeding absurdist tripe, and enjoyed the scenario they present: a star-filled Austin Powers sequel that actually exceeds expectations. What does it say when the peak of a feature film is a short parody of said film? I wouldn’t go so far as to say that we might look more fondly on Goldmember if it just consisted of the aforementioned three minute short— then we wouldn’t have so many great Pepsi Twist and Beyonce musical numbers— but what it does call to question is the relationship between short and feature, one we’ve delved into numerous times this semester. Especially the idea that of importance attributed to each; if the feature is supposed to be what brings audiences in, why was the word of mouth revolving around the cameos in the opening short likely the inspiration to those on the fence about paying to see another Austin Powers film?

The final twist regarding their relationship is when at the end of the film, the main villain Goldmember, played by Mike Myers throughout, turns around and reveals himself to be played by John Travolta. We’re back to Austinpussy, and even the characters of the film are watching. Has the feature actually been within the short? WHY IS AN AUSTIN POWERS MOVIE SO COMPLEX?



Sneezing Panda
Director: Unknown
added to youtube November 2006,
16 seconds

Source: You Tube


Like most college students, I waste my time on youtube watching pointless videos (notice I say videos and not short films). The videos my roommates and I watch the most are the ones that are simply, quite stupid and yet hilarious. Sneezing Panda is just one of those videos. If you haven’t seen it, just watch it. It only eats up 16 seconds of your life. I have watched Sneezing Panda maybe 50 times (it just never gets old). The surprise of the mama panda is comical, and the fact that the baby panda sneezed so forcefully that its’ entire body jumped off the ground is a feat in itself. Despite the cuteness factor, obvious entertainment value, and its’ placement on a short films blog, this video is not what I consider a short film.

My definition of a short film is not the one that was established in class a few weeks ago, of anything put on youtube. To me, a short film requires an intension to be considered a short film. The budget doesn’t matter, nor the subject material, but there needs to be thought behind the making of the film and an intension for it to be a short film. Randomly filming something on your video phone and then uploading it onto youtube does not constitute a short film. Having a story, maybe actors, a director, and a purpose makes a short film. Even if the point of a short film is to have no point, it is still a short film because of the thought process behind it.

Youtube is a home to several different types of media, one of which is short films. But also housed on that website are home videos, video blogs, TV clips, movie clips, and tons and tons of pointless crap.

Don’t get me wrong
I love the abundant pointless crap on youtube, but to call it all short films is taking it a step too far.

Whoever filmed Sneezing Panda was lucky to capture such a hilarious moment, but there was obviously no intention to make a short film while filming the mother and baby panda. The person wielding the camera was probably just filming the eating habits of an adult panda and just happened to get a priceless 16 second piece of film from it.

(*Ish Kabibble: comedian/cornet player: vocalist in You'll Find Out (1940)
performed with Kay Kyser on the television quiz show Kay Kyser's Kollege of Musical Knowledge in 1949 and 1950.
In his autobiography, Bogue explained his stage name, which he took from the lyrics of one of his comedic songs,"Isch ga-bibble." The song derived from a boy named Ben, who thought the word was cool. "Ishkabibble?", which was purported to mean "I should worry?", prompted a curious (and perhaps not coincidental) association of the comedian with the "What, me worry?" motto of Mad's mascot, Alfred E. Neuman/ "ische ga bibble" is not Yiddish, and, in fact, contains no Yiddish words at all.
Although Bogue's stage persona was that of a dimwitted person; he was a notable cornet player and was also business manager for the Kay Kyser Orchestra from 1931 to 1951.
Some maintain that Jerry Lewis lifted his comedic persona and look from Ish Kabibble.

disappearing behind secret panels the next.


According to Kyser guitarist Roc Hillman, Kay insisted on including the disclaimer,

'This stuff doesn't really happen, it's all in fun...'
because he was worried that some of the littler theater patrons might not understand and be scared.



The film features what was at that time a new invention: The Sonovox.

This device is first used by Bela Lugosi, secretly haunting the house from the basement.

Once all is said and done, Kyser's orchestra uses the Sonovox for their closing big band number...

Thomascow`s version of “Bird on the Wire” may now be viewed and heard right here, it is a Leonard Cohen 1960’s song Cohen recorded it in September 1968 in Nashville and included it on his 1969 album Songs from a Room. Judy Collins was the first to release the song on her 1968 album Who Knows Where the Time Goes. Many have recorded it since including Johnny Cash to whom the song and style are very favorable.

Enjoy Other Johnny Cash songs covered by Thomascow.

The nearest thing to heaven



June Carter teamed with Merle Kilgore and her husband Johnny Cash in 1962,she came upon a book of Elizabethan poetry that had been her uncle A.P. Carter’s. and had noticed that he had underlined the words Love is like a burning ring of fire . Thinking it a great line for a song she and Merle wrote “Ring of fire” for Anita Carter who recoded it in Nov 1962. But Johnny wanted the song. Johnny Cash heard Anita's record and awoke one morning from a dream in which he had heard Mexican horns on the record. He told Anita "I'll give you about five or six more months, and if you don't hit with it, I'm gonna record it the way I feel it." Now it is history, the Carter family are famous from the very start of recording days when in the 1927 they first started recording their work mainly composed by A.P. Two of my favourites are “”Keep on the sunny side & The Wabash cannonball” Over 15 years they recorded 270 songs plus.
