The Deuce Season 1 Finale: Hitchcock/Truffaut

Hitchcock/Truffaut, a 1966 book of interviews of film genius Alfred Hitchcock by film genius François Truffaut, is generally recognized as one of the best, if not the best, book about the strategies of film making ever published.  I certainly do, and just this term at Fordham had reason to cite in one of my classes Hitchcock's distinction  between surprise and suspense mentioned in the book.  (Surprise is when the viewer doesn't know what's going to happen - a bomb suddenly explodes on a crowded bus.  Suspense is when the viewer knows there'a a bomb ticking on a crowded bus.  Hitchcock correctly thinks suspense is usually a much stronger way to go.)

So, I was delighted to see Harvey compliment Candy and her film making natural savvy by saying what she was talking about was straight out of Hitchcock/Truffaut.  She of course hadn't read the book, and Harvey knows that.  So his compliment was high praise indeed.  And that's high praise for The Deuce, for mixing a little high culture into its pop culture of pornography.

It was also great to see Clarke Peters holding forth as a retired pimp.  There's of course a lot of The Wire in The Deuce, with David Simon involved, and that includes not only the flow and ambience but the actors.   Peters is having a good year - I was just enjoying his performance on The Tunnel, Season 2, on PBS.  I hope he's a regular character on The Deuce.

But the creme de la creme of this season finale was Harvey and Candy going to see a porn film which all but made the X-rated movie legitimate back then - Deep Throat.   Linda Lovelace played by Heather Cole was there, and I swear I saw the real Andy Warhol there, too, though of course that's impossible (on the other hand, people are saying this is Halloween weekend).

There's powerful, simmering material for a second season, and The Deuce has been renewed.  Count me in.

Ray Donovan 5.12: New York

I was glad to see Ray Donovan - the person and the season, in the season 5 finale just aired - end up in New York.  That's where I live, and it's my favorite place in the world.  Non-stop energy.  Much better than Boston - I agree with Sam that Boston's an "ice cube of angry people" - and LA ain't even in the running.

As to what we saw in the very last scene.  Either (a) Ray's still on the roof, and imagining himself in the water with Abby, or (b) he's in the water, but he'll swim up and survive.  Because Ray is, if nothing else, a survivor.

But he is a lot of other things.  He remains a master fixer.  He killed the guy that Sam wanted him to kill, made it look like a suicide by hanging, but what about that actress who saw him get out of the elevator?  Ray may be a master fixer but he can never stay totally out of deadly trouble.

I liked the scene between Ray and the shrink.  I think Ray did the right thing.  He is what he is, and no shrink can ever change that.  I liked where Bunchy wound up, owning the bar, with his daughter and Abby's dog.  He'll find another woman who will love him.

Connor's a sad story.  He wasn't wrong about what Ray thinks about him.  But he's wrong about enlisting changing that.  I fear for the worst about Connor.

Mickey, on the other hand, has as much resilience and smarts as Ray.  Mickey didn't succeed tonight, but he won't take his fate quietly, and will no doubt come up with another plan to free himself and get Ray, or maybe just get Ray.

I can't remember every show of every season, but this season was considerably stronger than last year's, and may be the best we've seen so far.  Ray and New York are right for each other.  I'll see New York tomorrow, and look forward to more of Ray in New York next year.

Outlander 3.7: The Other Wife

A rip-roaring, excellent episode 3.7 of Outlander tonight, in which Jamie reveals a secret - to us, the audience, at this point, and not yet Claire - and his life as A. Malcolm the printer goes literally up in flames.

First, I should say that I find this show much better - more interesting, exciting, more everything - when it's back in the past, in the 1700s.  When Claire returned home to Jamie, Outlander returned home, too.

My wife and I also began watching Outlander with subtitles on - this makes the Scottish easier to understand.  I mean, I know what ken means, but sometimes it's hard to get when conveyed only as sound.  And the conversations were especially significant in tonight's episode - of course, they always are - as we get the fine tunings on Jamie's relationship with his nephew Ian and Fergus, what Fergus has to tell Ian about women, etc.   It's also a nice touch to hear Fergus throw in some French in his conversation, including the French pronunciation of "catastrophe".

Jamie and Claire are always on the verge of catastrophe, both Jamie on his own, and their newly recovered relationship.  Claire is inevitably of the 20th century, with values that sometimes don't add up to Jamie, and vice versa.  But that's what makes their story so much fun.

So it looks as if Jamie and Claire will be leaving not only the printshop, but the brothel, as they're both set to leave Edinburgh.  I like Edinburgh - a lot - in our own time.  My wife and I went up there from London in the 1970s on our honeymoon and loved it.   I'll miss this big city by 1700s standards in Outlander.

Jamie and Claire never seem to get a chance for an extended honeymoon.  I'm looking forward to seeing some of what fate has in store for them next week.

Bladerunner 2049: The Only Better Movie of this Kind is Bladerunner, and Hey



I loved it.  So did my son Simon, who's now a father of his own.  We loved it almost as much as the original Bladerunner, which we saw more than once on videotape, before there even were DVDs for rent, back in the early 1990s.   That's high praise.  The only reason Bladerunner 2049 wasn't as good as Bladerunner circa 1982 was that the 1982 movie broke so much new ground.  Back in the mid-80s, when I was teaching in the MA in Media Studies Program at the New School, I asked Stephen Jacobs (who then was my student, and has long since become a professor himself, at the Rochester Institute of Technology) to give me an example of cyberpunk.  "Bladerunner" he replied.  It defined the field, at least in the movies.  It was and still is that good.  Not only that, it began Philip K Dick's run of stories made into great movies and TV series, with the current example of The Man in the High Castle on Amazon.  And it inspired me to write The Civil Right of Robots.

But Bladerunner 2049 did as outstanding a job as could be done in a sequel for that kind of movie - moreover, a sequel on the screen some 35 years later.  Rather than reviewing the plot, or even the acting - other than mentioning that both were excellent, and Ryan Gosling as "K" and Harrison Ford reprising his Deckard role were especially excellent - I'll go over certain points and questions which capture this visually and intellectually stunning film (and there will be spoilers):

  • Did you catch that "CCCP Soviet" sign on the building in LA?  How could the Soviets still have a sign on a building in 2049?  Maybe Putin managed to restore the Soviet Union?  Possibly.  But I think a better explanation is that Bladerunner 2049 and in turn Bladerunner are and were alternate realities from the outset.  Or, at least they are now.  The Bladerunner of 1982 took place in 2019, in a world that doesn't look much like our world does now, in 2017 (except insofar as Times Square has seemed increasingly Bladerunner-inspired in the past decade). So the makers of Bladerunner 2049 had to make a sequel in a world that looked 30 years later than the world of 2019 and how it was depicted in 1982.  That world has Japan much on its mind - Japan looked like it could become the dominant computer power back then - and, of course, the Soviet Union and Russian were in everyone's head, too.  Bladerunner 2049 has both Russian and Japanese all over the scenes. It could have not flashed Soviet at all,  and benefitted from the unexpected prominence of Russia in our popular culture in the past year.  But instead the sign says CCCP and Soviet - as a shorthand for saying this is the future of Bladerunner 1982/2019, not our future.  Very nice touch.
  • Did "K" die at the end?  The convention in movie-making is that if (a) you're very badly wounded, and (b) you're lying motionless with your eyes open, then (c) you're dead.  On the other hand, we've learned that the replicants can only be killed when their brains are destroyed, by a bullet, or, in the case of Niander's evil, powerful, beautiful replicant apprentice, by deprivation of oxygen because K drowned her.  But nothing like that happened to K.  He's been badly wounded - but I'd put my money on his not dying.
  • So, is Deckard a replicant or not?  On the yes side, he has a pretty high survival quotient, too.  And he did father a replicant with Rachel, who definitely was a replicant.  But, wait, that's also evidence that he isn't a replicant, right?  I mean, isn't it more likely that human sperm and replicant ovum created a living being, than replicant sperm and replicant ovum?  I think so.  I am a little less sure that Deckard is human than K is alive, but I'd go with Deckard as human if push came to shove.
  • I enjoyed the Elvis in what's left of Las Vegas hologram, with a quick shot of Marilyn Monroe thrown in.   (I just published Marilyn and Monet, so I'm always glad to see her given screen time, or for that matter, stage time, as in Anthony Marinelli's Max & Domino which I reviewed here just last week.)  But Elvis belting it out on a stage is a fine homage to David Lynch, and there was a touch of Twin Peaks, somehow, in Bladerunner 2049.
Highly recommend, for the senses and brain.  Bladerunner 2049 is 2017 movie-making at top of its game.  Kudos to Ridley Scott and everyone involved in this movie.

Mindhunter: Best of its Kind

Imagine Criminal Minds - which my wife and I watched a lot of, but stopped, a year or two ago - as you might have wanted it to be: sharper intellectual focus, honest language, real serial killers, deeper character development, nudity when called for but actually no scenes of torture or murder - and you have Mindhunter, a 10-episode season (which I hope is the first) on Netflix.  In other words, a show about the BAU, but at its inception in the late 1970s, and unencumbered by the limitations and ticks of network TV.

Mindhunter is produced by House of Cards producer David Fincher, and unsurprisingly has such deft touches as subtitles when a couple are having a key conversation in a noisy bar, and the first mention I've ever heard (twice in Mindhunter) of Erving Goffman, a pathbreaking sociologist from the 1950s and 1960s who talked about the masks we all wear, and the difference between the front and back regions of our personas, or what we show to the world at large versus what we keep private to our families or closest relationships.

That high intellectual octane animates this whole series, and is brought to life by standout performances by Jonathan Groff as the young FBI agent Holden Ford trying to establish a science of understanding and even predicting psychos and sociopaths, and his older partner Bill Tench, played by Holt McCallany (Lights Out!), who pretty much supports what Holden is trying to do but is not entirely comfortable with his methods.   In this battle to establish a new, more effective, scientifically grounded method of identifying and stopping serial killers, Mindhunter also bears strong resemblances to the recently aired and excellent Manhunt: Unabomber series (and there's a lot of Jim Fitzgerald who in reality broke the Unabomber case in the fictional Holden Ford), and even a little of Masters of Sex, which I was sorry to see cancelled.

As a special treat, Mindhunter has Fringe's Anna Torv as a sociologist who joins the team.  She provides one of the Goffman references, and Holden's girlfriend, well-played by Hannah Gross, doing graduate work in sociology, offers the other.  The serial killers, ranging from Richard Speck to Edmund Kemper, are truly chilling, and we get all this with words, not scenes of their horrific actions.

An old friend, photographer Emon Hassan, strongly recommended this series.  I'm doing to same to all of you.

Dear Diary, Burning Leaves, Sammy and Esther: An Appealing Hand


I'll conclude my reviews of the six semi-finalists in the New York New Works (NYNW) Theatre Festival which I saw on Friday night at The Duke on 42nd Street - all short plays - with an anthology review of a handful of three very different kinds of plays -


  • One-person plays are always a challenge for the performer, and Christina Dewar came through on this brilliantly in Dear Diary, a meditation on a young woman's coming of age, sexually.  In fact, I'd say Dewar's performance was at times a tour de force.  She delivered her lines, which swung from wise to humorous, and often were both, with aplomb and style.   She also wrote them.  I'd say Christina Dewar is someone to watch as both a playwright and an actress.
  • Burning Leaves is "a brief selection of scenes from the full-length" play, so it's a little difficult to judge.  But what I saw is enough to make me want to see the complete play.  Matt Leland left New York City for some unspecified unsetting reason.  He's an actor, 32-years-old, and is trying to reestablish himself as a high school teacher in a small town in the midwest.  He's a caring, sensitive person, and therefore takes time with a troubled male student - who soon wants to sleep with him.  Burning Leaves therefore enters the difficult ethical thicket of what the teacher's appropriate response should be, since saying no for whatever good reason to the student could further shatter the student's already shaky self-image.  Well written by Tom Rowan, with Matt very well acted by David Gow, and as I said, I'd definitely welcome a full version of this play.
  • Sammy and Esther Are Breaking Up is a funny NYC straphanger - literally, taking place on one  of our NYC subway cars - in which Sammy comes to terms with Esther, via appearances and interjections from his former relationships.  Definitely good for a laugh.
So, in the sum, these three short plays, as well as the three I reviewed over the weekend, made for a very enjoyable, provocative two+ hours at The Duke last Friday night.  I hope they all go on to own bigger venues, but even if they don't, they've already made their mark in New York and thereby the world.

"Working with Marshall McLuhan" and Marilyn Monroe on The Deuce 1.7!

Just caught up with The Deuce 1.7 tonight - it was on HBO on Sunday - and was delighted to find it joined the eminent ranks of The Sopranos and Mad Men, with a reference to Marshall McLuhan!

It happened liked this ...

Candy (Maggie Gyllenhaal) working on a porn film with Harvey (David Krumholtz, who is getting to look a lot like Ron Jeremy) - actually, I guess you could say Candy is Assistant Director, or Assistant to the Director, I could never make sense out of those titles - buys a red bed cover, to replace the green one, which is making her "sea-sick," and may or may not be the underlying reason for the listless sex acting.

Krumholtz left, porn filmmaker Ron Jeremy right,  see what I mean?



Harvey asks Candy how much she paid for the "schmata" (inexplicably slightly but distinctly mispronounced, with no emphasis on the "schma") - but my ears perked up immediately, as they do anytime I hear Yiddish on a television show.

"Red is a horny color," Candy replies.  "you ever see a car ad?"

And Harvey comes back with "What, I am working with Marshall McLuhan?"

Now, that's not the best reference to McLuhan I ever heard - nothing about hot and cool, which would've worked well here - but, then, the references to McLuhan on The Sopranos and Mad Men were no great shakes, either.  And then there's this: The Deuce takes place in 1971, which is a little after McLuhan's heyday in the 1960s, and before he came back with the now classic appearance in Woody Allen's Annie Hall (1977), so would a porn film director really have come up that reference at that time? But, hey, I'm not complaining, I'm happy.

And The Deuce 1.7 was excellent in other ways, too, with Candy really beginning to make her mark (I was going to say, come into her own, but thought the better of it) as a porn director, and a surprise shooting (of a gun) which changes a lot of things.  And, as icing on the cake, Marilyn Monroe was mentioned in the episode (icing on the cake certainly for me, since my Marilyn and Monet was just published last week).

This is an excellent series, not surprising with David Simon, Richard Price, and George Pelecanos in creative production roles, and I'd be enjoying it even without the nudity and mentions of McLuhan and Marilyn.



here's a panel we did about Marshall McLuhan just last week - I

Outlander 3.6: Reunion

Well, some things are worth waiting for.  And that would be an apt description of tonight's Outlander 3.6, in which Claire and Jamie finally get back together.

The hour+ took its time, in a reunion that moved at a winningly human pace.  They kiss pretty quickly - which is what they of course would do - but take their time before they get back in bed, which was realistic.  The two need to get to know each other again, or at least know that the love they had twenty years ago is still coursing between them.

Twenty years is a long time.  And this reunion, after all that time, is what makes Outlander unique in time travel stories.  Ordinarily in time travel  - which seems a little oxymoronic, because there is nothing ordinary where time travel is concerned, but - people can spend years or longer away from one another in different times, and then travel back to the original time, where one of the two people hasn't aged a day.  That of course can be strange, but what we saw tonight was even stranger - but, in some ways, more human.

The acting both by Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan was really sensitive and superb.  The expressions on their faces, their tones of voice, their body language was just right for a couple spending a night together after twenty years - on the way, one and they can certainly hope, to being this way, together again, for the rest of their lifetimes.

I almost wouldn't have minded if the season ended with tonight's episode, it was so satisfying.  But there are problems, arising not only out of Jamie's work, but Claire's ultimately not wanting to go without ever seeing their daughter again.

It took a long time to get there, but Outlander is back on track.

Ray Donovan 5.11: I'm with Mickey

An unusually grim and searing Ray Donovan 5.11 tonight, and that's saying a mouthful, since Ray is if nothing grim and searing, and never more than in this season.   But tonight ...

I gotta say I'm with Daryll in not understanding what Ray has against Mickey, and with Mickey when he says he's not going to turn the cheek anymore.  Mickey out to get Ray is as profound an upheaval in this series as Abby's death, and for that reason it's a powerful move in the narrative.

But what indeed does Ray have against his father?  I know Mickey did nothing when his sons were molested, and through these seasons has often acted selfishly and put members of the family at risk.  But Mickey has also acted unselfishly, if not quite selflessly, and done extraordinary things on behalf of the family, including Ray.   Think about it.

So what are Ray's reasons for not pinning the murder of Frank on Avi, who is out of the country and relatively safe from FBI nabbing?  The only thing I can think of is that, by punishing Mickey, Ray is punishing himself for the guilt he feels in everything surrounding Abby's death.

And the irony is he shouldn't feel so guilty about that.   What he did to Bridget's boyfriend was reprehensible, but Ray did it to save his wife.   True, he was taking that ultimate decision out of her hands, but had the surgery saved her, isn't that what Abby would have wanted?

This season, with just one more episode to go, is shaping up as the most painful but best of the Ray Donovan seasons - because pain has aways been one of the mainstays of this story.
