Here’s Assange’s indictment. As I read it, there’s one allegation that could be considered hacking: According to the government, he obtained a password hash from Bradley Manning and failed to crack it. The rest of the indictment accuses Assange of publicly asking for leaks and then publishing the ones he received on the Wikileaks web site. Doesn’t that amount to charging him with practicing journalism?

One of my neighbors was out for a walk with his wife and child (in a stroller) this morning. Apparently he complained about dizziness, then fell to the ground in cardiac arrest. I came across the scene during my run after some other bystanders (Someone was doing chest compressions), but before paramedics. It took them 10-15 minutes to restart his heart. I hope he makes it. His wife was beside herself.

When I was younger, I naively believed what fiction told me about love: If two people fell in love intensely enough, the relationship would last until death. I have a different theory about long-term monogamous relationships now. I think they require three things:

1. A normal human conscience.
2. An adult mindset, meaning a habit of taking responsibility for getting what one wants, and the ability to regulate one's emotions.
3. A willingness to support and contribute to the other person's goals, and to shared goals.

Even if all of these conditions are met, the relationship can still end. What do you think?

I don’t know. What’s a soul mate? I definitely don’t think there’s only one person in the world that a person can fall in romantic love with. The longer-term, pair bonding sort of love is more a function of shared experiences and consistent support than it is of how special the match is. And even that kind of love isn’t indestructible.

Colossal (Nacho Vigalondo, 2016)

Underrated movie about a woman (Anne Hathaway) who drinks her way out of her dissipated New York life, moves back to her home town, and then discovers that she controls a kaiju monster that’s wrecking the city of Seoul on the other side of the world. Ultimately it’s a character study about how different people handle an awareness of destructive power. Some feel sober responsibility, while others revel in the opportunity to feel important, no matter the cost to others.

Ferocious Ambition: Joan Crawford’s March to Stardom Robert ...

2024-03-08T22:23:34Z

Ferocious Ambition: Joan Crawford’s March to Stardom
Robert Dance
University Press of Mississippi, 2023

Joan Crawford was born Lucile Fay LeSueur in 1905*, in San Antonio, Texas. Her father left immediately. She went to boarding school, but had to cook and clean in lieu of tuition. She lasted one semester at Stephens College in Missouri. Her passion was dancing, but she was never trained.

How, one might wonder, did Crawford become a movie star? Answering that question is the most interesting part of Robert Dance's biography. I think her formula was something like

1. Make friends with as many people in filmmaking as possible.
2. Study what they do and absorb knowledge like a sponge.
3. Cultivate a relationship with moviegoers.

To accomplish 3, Crawford made herself extremely available to photographers and journalists. She also answered much of her fan mail personally, nearly until her death. It took her years to work her way up from extra (and Norma Shearer's body double) to star. (In contrast, Greta Garbo arrived at MGM the same year Crawford did and was immediately given a well-paying contract and starring roles.)

My impression is that Crawford was very likable for much of her life, and she did have lifelong friends who had nothing but praise for her. Sometime in her mid-forties, though, she seems to have become anxious about her status. She started drinking 100-proof vodka regularly as a crutch. She was still capable of being friendly, but she also began to hold grudges. (Okay, she disliked Norma Shearer before then.)

Robert Dance gives his readers the full tour of Crawford's life, with an emphasis on her career. It's an excellent guide to her movies, with some behind-the-scenes stories. The book is also packed with beautiful black-and-white photographs. Unlike many celebrity biographers, Dance makes an effort to be objective about his subject. If he had a bias, it was slightly anti-Crawford; he never missed an opportunity to denigrate her dancing skills, and I think he was too credulous about Christina Crawford's memoir. But overall, it's a high-quality biography that I recommend.

* Crawford insisted she was born in 1908, but this was a lie.

2024-02-26T15:51:20Z

Leave Her to Heaven (John M. Stahl, 1945)

[N]or let thy soul contrive
Against thy mother aught: leave her to heaven
And to those thorns that in her bosom lodge,
To prick and sting her.
— Hamlet, Act I, scene V

"There's nothing wrong with Ellen. It's just that she loves too much."

Poor Ellen Berent. She loved her late father very, very much. (Apparently the relationship was close; her adopted sister Ruth says, at one point, that Mrs. Berent adopted her, not Mr. *and* Mrs.) On her way to scatter Dad's ashes, Ellen meets Richard Harland, an author who reminds her so much of her father that she asks him to marry her. Well, okay, she didn't so much *ask* as just announce the engagement, but he goes along with it. Ellen promises Richard, "I'll never let you go. Never, never, never."

The problem is that Richard wants to maintain relationships with friends and family members. Ellen wants herself and Richard to have no one else but each other. She refuses to hire servants, because, she tells Richard, "I don't want anybody else but me to do anything for you." Unfortunately Richard wants his younger brother, recovering from polio, to stay with them. Even worse, he invites Ellen's mother and sister to visit them at their vacation home in Maine. And he wants to spend valuable hours writing his next book, instead of with Ellen. It's all going so wrong.

So Ellen, well, handles the situation.

Leave Her to Heaven is a sort of Technicolor noir, although the beginning of the film seems more like a love story or family drama. Gene Tierney does a wonderful job making Ellen charming and witty, except when her mask slips and her eyes turn dead. Yet the performance never feels like a split personality. It's just that Ellen's notion of love is possessive, and she can't resist doing the wrong thing to keep Richard all to herself.

2024-02-20T15:32:54Z

Sign of the Cross (Cecil B. DeMille, 1932).

I’m ambivalent about this film. On the one hand, it’s full of pre-code spectacle: gladiators, pygmies, barbarians, and African animals, all fighting in the Coliseum. There are naked women (with strategic cover) and nearly naked men. There are unmistakable hints of male and female homosexuality. There are also anti-code elements that make me uncomfortable, such as implied bestiality and the off camera murder of a child.

On the other hand, DeMille still had to face municipal censors, and the implicit deal seems to have been that they would allow his perverse picture to be shown if it propagandized Christianity. That hurts the film as a drama. The Christians in the movie are all virtuous, of course, in contrast to the pagans. To be sure, some of them are reluctant to be martyred, but most of them don’t have a choice. The one who does have a choice, Mercia, holds fast to her ideals, refuses to renounce her faith, and never even seems tempted. The only conflicted character is Marcus, the Prefect of Rome. For 98% of the movie he wants to save Mercia for himself, but doing so would defy Nero and therefore risk his own death. That’s a dilemma, but not an emotional one.

I’m still glad I saw Sign of the Cross, however, because of Claudette Colbert, who played Poppea Sabina, Nero’s wife and empress of Rome. She gave a good performance, as did Charles Laughton as Nero, but that wouldn’t have been enough to save the film. Thank you, costume designer Mitchell Leisen.

2024-02-18T22:28:30Z

Rain (Lewis Milestone, 1932).

Contemporary critics gave Rain negative reviews, and not enough tickets were sold to make United Artists a profit. Joan Crawford was embarrassed by her performance. Modern critics say they were all wrong; Rain is great, and Crawford is great in it. I agree.

The movie was adapted from a W. Somerset Maugham short story, originally titled "Miss Thompson" but later renamed, well, "Rain." It was previously adapted for stage and as a 1928 silent film (Sadie Thompson, with Gloria Swanson in the lead role), and would later be remade under the Hays Code (Miss Sadie Thompson, with Rita Hayworth).

A ship's passengers are temporarily stranded in Pago Pago, American Samoa, because of an outbreak of cholera. Two of the passengers are a missionary, Alfred Davidson, and his wife. Another is Sadie Thompson, a Honolulu sex worker. Unfortunately there is only one boarding house for all of them to stay in, and the incessant heavy rain keeps them in close quarters. Sadie immediately scandalizes the Davidsons by entertaining US Marines in her room. Mr. Davidson tries to put a stop to the sinning, but Sadie angrily rebuffs him. From that moment forward, Davidson's mission is to make Sadie repent and convert to his faith. As his tactics become increasingly coercive, Sadie's vulnerable side is gradually exposed.

See it for Joan Crawford's performance. You might be offended if you're a religious zealot.

In the end no one will sell you what you need
You can't buy it off the shelf

You talk to loners
You ask, “How’s your week?”
You give love to all
And give love to me

This is my favorite song from Zero 7 and Sia. It’s just an unironic declaration of love.

Yes. It’s difficult to get developers on other teams to even look at unsolicited pull requests. (The open source world is a different story.) I’ve written extracurricular but unambiguous improvements to my own team’s code, and only the tiny ones have been reviewed.

Oof, this movie is rough to watch. If you’re going to marry a cabaret singer, you should discuss her future career plans before you do, and you shouldn’t be afraid to say no to her.

“Receiving unsolicited genital pictures from men appears to be a largely negative experience for most women, according to a new study published in The Journal of Sex Research. But gay and bisexual men appear to be significant more receptive to receiving such images without warning.”

“The researchers found that men who sent unsolicited images tended to be younger, more narcissistic, and more sexist. The most common motivation for sending such an image was hoping to receive sexual pictures in return, followed by hoping to turn on the recipient.”
