Josh Becker Q AName Nikolay Yeriomin. E mail nikolayyeriomingmail. Date. 651. 6Dear Josh Loved previous q as with Keith and Tim because it is quite an interesting food for thoughts. If it is okay, I have a few comments and questions regarding what they were writing, so this message may be a little bit long I hope that it may be separated if that will be more comfortable for you andor webmasters. Firstly, regarding Alfred Hitchcock by the way, my all time favorite director it should be noted that HitchockTruffault, even though it is one of the greatest books on Hitchcock and movie making in general is quite flawed by one thing in nearly any translation, that thing being the fact that all of the Hitchcock statements were translated in French and then book was again translated in English from that translation, so at times what Hitchcock actually said was somewhat paraphrased and may have affected the sense of a few statements. Secondly, a little thought on Hitchcocks movies last summer Ive discovered that Ive actually havent seen that much of his directorial works, mainly because in cases of one of the favorite directors dying or working rarely I usually postpone some movies in advance, just to have a few if Ill have some specific mood. In case of Hitchcock, though, I understood it was quite pointless, because if counting his TV episodes and some other things he has quite a big filmography. So, Ive started a tradition of sorts that I hope to continue this year to pick five Hitchcock directorial works from each decade of his career excluding the 7. Ive seen everything mostly at random and watch them on and around his birthday. Merlin Season 2 Episode 4 Online there. What Ive picked in 2. The Pleasure Garden, Jamaica Inn, Spellbound, The Trouble with Harry and an episode of Startime named Incident at a Corner. I can highly recommend each one of them though Spellbound is probably the better one of them, but Incident at a Corner is especially recommended because it is mostly overlooked and forgotten, despite this little gem is actually pretty impressive. Thirdly, while I can understand your and Tims concern of culture being rotted, I have some optimism for it and I just believe that were living in a period of quite a big shift and its hard to judge the society which is in a constant stress and undergoes a process of certain social and cultural mutations.

Im quite concerned about culture as well because, well mainstream culture seems less and less appealing to me. Especially since younger people of which I am, to some unfortunate extent seem less and less tolerant to more individual and unconventional tastes and will try to force you to watch what they like, massively overreacting if you dislike their choice, forgetting that anyone has right to choose what he or she wants to watch. Im quite tired of people shaming me for my dislike of Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead while both series are very popular and acclaimed I just cant find anything of strong interest in both of them not to mention that people fail to notice how much Game of Thrones is derivative to works of William Shakespeare so I dont have a point to watch them. But I hope that such Age of Overreacting will eventually pass and well have some kind of renaissance. I dont lose that hope because, well, even my dorm roommate 1. Im of the same age gap and yet I can easily watch anything regardless of time period loved Lawrence of Arabia and is amazed by Buster Keaton stunts despite him being a parkour practitioner he just cant understand how some of them were executed and another one of the same age is reading a lot and tries quite thoughtfully to compare and balance mainstream, independent and classic art. One of my best friends who is essentially of my age disliked The Hateful Eight, by the way and while I was okay with that movie I can totally see why and approve both his and yours concerns about it. Fourthly as youve asked for someone to pick ten greatest movies and albums of the past ten years that should be the period of 2. I guess I might as well try to name at least movies. But I should warn you that Im casually watching some movies two or three years after the initial release, so Im quite surely missed at least a few great titles.

My picks are in chronological order 1. Shaun of the Dead 2. Dir. Edgar Wright UK 2. Takeshis 2. Dir. Takeshi Kitano Japan 3. A Scanner Darkly 2. Dir. Richard Linklater USA 4. Reign Over Me 2. Dir.

Yours sincerely,Nikolay Yeriomin. David Horowitz Wikipedia. David Joel Horowitz born January 1. American conservative writer. He is a founder and current president of the think tank the David Horowitz Freedom Center editor of the Centers publication, Front. Page Magazine and director of Discover the Networks, a website that tracks individuals and groups on the political left. Horowitz also founded the organization Students for Academic Freedom. Horowitz has written several books with author Peter Collier, including four on prominent 2. American political families that had members elected to the presidency. He and Collier have collaborated on books about current cultural criticism. Horowitz has also worked as a columnist for Salon. Its then editor Joan Walsh described him as a conservative provocateur. From 1. Horowitz was an outspoken adherent of the New Left. He later rejected liberal and progressive ideas completely and has since become a proponent of conservatism. Horowitz has recounted his ideological journey in a series of retrospective books, culminating with his 1. Radical Son A Generational Odyssey. Family backgroundeditHorowitz is the son of Phil and Blanche Horowitz, who were high school teachers. His father taught English and his mother taught stenography. During years of labor organizing and the Great Depression, Phil and Blanche Horowitz were long standing members of the American Communist Party and strong supporters of Joseph Stalin. They left the party after Khrushchev published his report in 1. Stalin committed and terrorism of the Soviet populations. According to Horowitz Underneath the ordinary surfaces of their lives, my parents and their friends thought of themselves as secret agents. The mission they had undertaken, and about which they could not speak freely except with each other, was not just an idea to them. It was more important to their sense of themselves than anything else they did. Nor were its tasks of a kind they could attend or ignore, depending on their moods. They were more like the obligations of a religious faith. Except that their faith was secular, and the millennium they awaited was being instituted, at that moment, in the very country that had become Americas enemy. It was this fact that made their ordinary lives precarious and their secrecy necessary. If they lived under a cloud of suspicion, it was the result of more than just their political passions. The dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima had created a terror in the minds of ordinary people. Newspapers reported on American spy rings working to steal atomic secrets for the Soviet state. When people read these stories, they inevitably thought of progressives like us. And so did we ourselves. Even if we never encountered a Soviet agent or engaged in a single illegal act, each of us knew that our commitment to socialism implied the obligation to commit treason, too. After the death of Stalin in 1. Phil Horowitz, commenting on how Stalins numerous official titles had to be divided among his successors, told his son, You see what a genius Stalin was. It took five men to replace him. According to Horowitz The publication of the Khrushchev Report was probably the greatest blow struck against the Soviet Empire during the Cold War When my parents and their friends opened the morning Times and read its text, their world collapsedand along with it their will to struggle. If the document was true, almost everything they had said and believed was false. Their secret mission had led them into waters so deep that its tide had overwhelmed them, taking with it the very meaning of their lives. Horowitz received a BA from Columbia University in 1. English, and a masters degree in English literature at University of California, Berkeley. Career with the New LefteditAfter completing his graduate degree in the late 1. Horowitz lived in London and worked for the Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation. He identified as a serious Marxist intellectual. In 1. 96. 6, Ralph Schoenman persuaded Bertrand Russell to convene a war crimes tribunal to judge United States involvement in the Vietnam War. Horowitz would write three decades later that he had political reservations about the tribunal and did not take part. He described the tribunals judges as formidable, world famous and radical, including Isaac Deutscher, Jean Paul Sartre, Stokely Carmichael, Simone de Beauvoir, James Baldwin, and Vladimir Dedijer. While in London, Horowitz became a close friend of Deutscher, and wrote a biography of him which was published in 1. Horowitz wrote The Free World Colossus A Critique of American Foreign Policy in the Cold War. In January 1. 96. Horowitz returned to the United States, where he became co editor of the New Left magazine Ramparts, based in northern California. During the early 1. Horowitz developed a close friendship with Huey P. Newton, founder of the Black Panther Party. Horowitz later portrayed Newton as equal parts gangster, terrorist, intellectual, and media celebrity. As part of their work together, Horowitz helped raise money for, and assisted the Panthers with, the running of a school for poor children in Oakland. He recommended that Newton hire Betty Van Patter as bookkeeper she was then working for Ramparts. In December 1. 97. Van Patters body was found floating in San Francisco Harbor she had been murdered. Horowitz has said he believes the Panthers were behind the killing. In 1. 97. 6, Horowitz was a founding sponsor of James Weinsteins magazine In These Times. Writing on the RighteditFollowing this period, Horowitz rejected Karl Marx and socialism, but kept quiet about his changing politics for nearly a decade. In early 1. 98. 5, Horowitz and longtime collaborator Peter Collier, who also became a political conservative, wrote an article for The Washington Post Magazine entitled Lefties for Reagan, later retitled as Goodbye to All That. The article explained their change of views and recent decision to vote for a second term for Republican President Ronald Reagan. In 1. 98. 6, Horowitz published Why I Am No Longer a Leftist in The Village Voice. In 1. 98. 7, Horowitz co hosted a Second Thoughts Conference in Washington, D. C., described by Sidney Blumenthal in The Washington Post as his coming out as a conservative. According to attendee Alexander Cockburn, Horowitz related how his Stalinist parents had not permitted him or his sister to watch the popular Doris Day and Rock Hudson movies of his youth.
