![]() ![]() I don’t think U2 would be as good as we are without Echo and the Bunnymen… You really raised the standard in what could be achieved by not ‘growing up’…The guitars, bass and drum so unique, the production of the songs usually so deft and unobtrusive… The voice, the baritone, the bell canto, and the lips like sugar… and weedkiller when they had to be. RESCUE is a great song/45/call for renewal and definitely made my life and times better. I turned 60 and from what I can tell I am alive and feeling very grateful to be so… I am also grateful to you and your songs for playing a role in getting me from there to here. May 10th this year was a bit of a landmark for me. Thanks for the blood, the sweat, and the sparing of the tears.ĭearest Ian, Will et al. Patti Smith used to push through her own crowd to reach the stage.īut you, Iggy, may have jumped out of your own skin to get to us. In rock ’n’ roll Eddie Vedder would definitely share a taxi home. Sean Penn has it on film, Ben Mendelsohn too. Daniel Day Lewis actually walked off stage during HAMLET. I witnessed it with Mark Rylance in Jez Butterworth’s JERUSALEM. I witnessed this with Steven Berkoff and Olwen Fouéré in Wilde’s SALOMÉ. There may be less than a dozen performers that I have felt are so unhappy with the hierarchy of the stage and its separateness, that they might leave the stage any minute and enter your life, follow you home… which is the desire of all dramaturges that the play sleeps beside you, and you will wake with it the next day. It appeared to us that you revolted against yourself, you threw away your own crown… or something like that. The stage usually is an up-drawbridge situation that offers regency, a crown… rock is feudal. There’s something annoying about the safe distance that separates performers from their crowd, but no one brought such a violence to cross that moat like you. The intellect as sharp as flint fists… but if you were stupid enough to miss the intellectual Iggy Pop, the instinctual was there for you… part animal/part animus, it was an adrenaline rush to see you leap from the stage into us, smashing the fourth wall with your head. That voice that carries those words carried so many of us. But in and around the death cult that follows rock, it felt so bold and bracing to hear you sing… We thought to ourselves ‘if Iggy made it, we all can’… that turned out not to be true. The picture of health that you appear on the cover of the album, LUST FOR LIFE, was so inspirational to me and my friends. To change the world twice, now that’s really something… I guess there was just no way of knowing.” Such a light touch.Īnd the value of destiny comes to nothing Not only can the band continue with the guitar player on mic, you reinvent rock’n’roll with classic understatement and a rhythmic propulsion that will soon make Manchester’s dance inferno a global firestorm with its digital/analogue crossover… Balearic beats, a rave scene with a mad mix of Manc and Spanish accents… grooves that cross oceans and enter New York’s paradise garage and everywhere else courtesy of BLUE MONDAY.īut TRUE FAITH is the one for me….

![]() He's upset with me because he has continuously used Corey Haim for the past decade to make money off him. In the past year or so he's started saying it was me that brought him to meet Ginger Lynn so she could take him home and "molest him." But I didn't know the woman so how could I have introduced them? So he changed the narrative. Then I left and that was the end of my involvement with that. I was just like the "Uber" driver, that's all. Sam was the one who told him to come to The Comedy Store and he would introduce Corey to porn stars. I was 19, so I agreed to drive him there and we walk in and there is Ginger Lynn, Christy Canyon, Ron Jeremy and Sam Kinison. He wanted me to drive him to The Comedy Store to meet Ginger Lynn. He called me up one night in August of 1987. Scott Schwartz: Corey Feldman claims that I introduced him to porn star Ginger Lynn and I didn't even know her. Even my grandfather was cool with it - he said, I went to all my family and friends and I said if it's going to change our relationship or if you're not going to talk to me anymore, I won't do it. He asked me to do a movie, to star in an x-rated film. The owner of Wicked Pictures and I played racquetball at a gym near my house. I started out doing non-sex roles in movies, like I played a bartender or whatever. I needed to put food on the table and at that point in my twenties I didn't even have an agent so there was nothing to worry about hurting my acting career because I didn't have one at that point. ![]() Scott Schwartz: I started meeting people at The Comedy Store and they started inviting me to the set of x-rated movies and I ended up doing all types of jobs on them. Can you talk about what that was like? Did you feel at the time that it would hurt your acting career? Lee Sobel: In the 80's you began to appear in x-rated movies. They said that something like 50-52 million homes tuned in at some point of that marathon. They showed it and it did okay but then the next year it did even better. They didn't spend that much to buy A CHRISTMAS STORY so they didn't have to do that well with it for it to be profitable for them. The first year the ratings did okay but the second year the rating dipped. So she brought in her VHS copy of it to show it to him for the first time and he said, "Oh, what a lovely film." He asked his secretary, what should we do with it and she said, "Why don't we try a marathon." They had tried it with IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE and THE WIZARD OF OZ for two years. Scott Schwartz: The story I heard from someone who worked for Ted Turner was that he was buying the MGM library and he needed a family movie to run around Christmas and his secretary asked him if he'd seen A CHRISTMAS STORY and he had never seen it. Lee Sobel: Ted Turner certainly had something to do with continuing to build the popularity of A CHRISTMAS STORY by having 24-hour marathons on Christmas of the movie, right? I've done appearances and people have actually brought flag poles and they want to me to take pictures with it. Zack and I have done a lot of appearances together. Yano lives in Atlanta so I don't get to see him that much but Zack lives about twenty minutes away from me. The two bullies, Scut Farkus and Grover Dill, otherwise known as Zack Ward and Yano Anaya, are like my brothers now. That was how we communicated.īob Clark wanted the two boys who played the bullies separate from us because he wanted us to be scared of them. So I made up the stuff that I did and after the first take he told me to do it again and give him more but then he said it was too much and he liked the way I originally did it. So I asked Bob what he wanted me to do and he said to just do whatever I wanted. ![]() When we did the scene where I stuck my tongue to the flagpole that's all it said in the script: Flick sticks his tongue to the flagpole. Bob Clark trusted me, even though I had only made one movie up to that point. I had one scene with Melinda Dillon when Ralphie beats up Scut Farkus the bully. I didn't have any scenes with Darren McGavin. I saw THE TOY." I walked about seven or eight blocks to my agent's office and my agent said, "What did you do? You got the job." Bob was looking for particular things - he wanted normalcy in the children. I asked him if he wanted me to read and he said, "No, no, there's no dialogue you can't handle. Then we went back to his office, chit-chatted some more and then he just said "It was great to meet you - have a wonderful day," shook my hand and that was it. ![]() ![]() Other multiball modes are also hidden behind complex missions such as lighting all the letter to 'BLAST OFF' or hitting targets 1-5 in descending order. The Flight 2000 table is unique for having a separate section in the top-left of the table, where three balls can get hit into to initiate the 'locking ball' sequence for a multiball mode. ![]() Sure, the table itself is quite wide and open, and activating the table's missions are simple but garnering a high score will take a lot of practice and mastering due to the unforgiving nature of the table. ![]() Simply put, this is not an easy table to master. Not only is the table important due to the significant ground it broke, but also for how difficult the gameplay of the table is. The space-flight themed table, Flight 2000 is culturally significant in pinball history for being the first table to feature talking or speech, back in 1980. Of course, a pinball recreation would not be as authentic without a table from the "Father of Pinball" himself, Harry Williams. There are eighteen scenes to play out from the movie with five different multiball modes coupled with the sci-fi sound effects and the flashy colours with 60 tricoloured LED's, this is one of the better-looking tables. The extra flipper and the easy Klingon multiball allow for an easier time to accrue huge point gains, and it makes the table much more fun to replay as well. Playing in the Star Trek table may be preferred for pinball-newbies and novices, as the table itself is more open than some of the other tables in the pack. Of course, there is a greater appreciation to be found on this table from fans of the iconic TV and movie series, though that does not mean newcomers won't find much love here. This table is packed with the sound-bytes from the film, from character quotes to the iconic Star Trek motif theme song. Moving to Steve Ritchie's second table in the pack, is the Star Trek table from 2013, based on the first sci-fi film of the rebooted movie series, with Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto starring as Captain James Kirk and Spock respectively. The table is also filled with a bunch of homages to the band and their featured songs, such as the train mould, the T.N.T detonators, the rotating cannon, the moving band members diorama, and heaps more to uncover during play. The AC/DC table is filled with eye-melting light shows, and it has a sunken play-table that only comes into play when songs with the word 'Hell' in the title come on, which is featured in three song titles. The table was originally designed in 2012, and as such, the digital version also benefits from the technological advancements of the physical pinball tables. The songs act as the 'key' to unlocking the 'Wizard' mode, as all twelve of them need to be played within three balls to achieve the higher-scoring mode. There are twelve hit songs from the band known as ‘Acker Dacker,’ such as T.N.T, Highway to Hell, Thunderstruck, Hells Bells, Back in Black, You Shook Me All Night Long, Let There Be Rock, Rock and Roll Train, War Machine, Whole Lotta Rosie, For Those About To Rock, and Hell Ain’t A Bad Place To Be. The AC/DC table is by far the best table of this pack, and that is probably thanks in part to its rocking soundtrack. “Master of Flow” Steve Ritchie features with two of his tables on the digital front, with AC/DC and the more recent Star Trek tables Harry Williams takes us back to the early ‘80s with the, innovative-for-its-time, Flight 2000 table Joe Balcer and Joe Kaminkow teamed up with their Starship Trooper table and Pat Lawler with his Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Stern Table Pack 1 brings five new table packs to the The Pinball Arcade from the pinball maker. ![]() Once optimized, you’ll be able to calibrate your Mac’s display (and view it) with greater accuracy: How to Prepare to Calibrate Your Mac’s Displayīefore you begin the calibration process, there are a few external factors to consider. ![]() However, this doesn’t take into account your unique situation, such as viewing location, ambient lighting, and post-processing workflow.

Unrelated to working at night, but another fantastic Safari Reader tip is for printing an articles content only, without ads or other page content that can use unnecessary printer ink.There are a number of different profiles with varying “gamuts.” In other words, while some profiles will focus on accurate color rendition, others will look to display as many colors as possible. Oh and if you’re on the web using YouTube, you can try YouTube dark mode theme too.

Night Shift is the great feature that warms the display colors of a Mac during the evening and night time hours, so that the screen is putting off less blue light. 2: Use Night Shift for a Warmer Screen Hue You can use the keyboard brightness controls, or adjust brightness through the Display preference panel on Mac.Īnother great benefit to reducing screen brightness is for Mac laptops, where you’ll almost certainly notice a significant boost to battery life while the screen is more dimmed. Many of the Mac displays are extremely bright, which looks brilliant and allows for vibrant colors and screen imagery, but at night or in low light you’ll probably want to reduce that screen brightness considerably. Note that some of these features are limited to MacOS Mojave 10.14 and later, like the full Dark Mode theme, but the same general principles will apply to other Mac OS versions as well. Perhaps you’ll find these tricks will help you to reduce eye strain and might even make you more productive as a result!

I feel like that should be a law: In fact, things like videos and images poping up all over the place on chat platforms like Telegram and Discord are just annoying most of the time anyway. which, again, is good enough for me most of the time. Also, with IRC one could at least always post links to external image/video/audio hosting sites, if you wanted to share that sort of media.

On Discord and Telegram, I have to find a link to the channel somehow or get invited. At least on IRC I could always try typing in a channel like #gentoo or #linux or #debian or #ocaml or #scheme or #lisp or #emacs or #vim, etc, and have a pretty good chance of these subject-related channels existing.
