Charles Hall worked with The Tall Whites



Synopsis

This is a story based on the book series "Millennial Hospitality" by Charles James Hall, who claims that he was living with extraterrestrials for two years. Charles was scared to death during his first encounters with the "Tall Whites" as he called them, but after some months, he overcame his worst fears and started to communicate with the extraterrestrials, and slowly getting to know them.

The documentary is a portraying of Charles and is built on element of the three books he published, here you can hear Charles and Marie talking about the experience from his past, in the 60s.

With more than a million unique streams on Amazon Prime this documentary polarize opinions regarding us humans being alone in the universe!

Charles James Hall was born and raised in rural Wisconsin, USA, near Madison. He enlisted in the United States Air Force on July 20, 1964. He was stationed at Nellis Air Force Base outside Las Vegas, Nevada, for over two years. While there, he served for extensive periods of time as a weather observer in the desert on the Gunnery ranges at Indian Springs, Nevada. Following this, he served a year in Vietnam in the Mekong Delta. Charles received an award for surviving more than 35 communist attacks. A year after receiving an honorable discharge in May 1968, Charles married Marie, on the condition that he would go to college. In record time, he earned both a Bachelor's Degree in Thermal Physics and a Masters degree in Applied Nuclear Physics at San Diego State University in San Diego California. Charles did Ph.D. level post graduate work at the University of Maine at Bangor. Later, he earned a Masters in Business Administration from Nova Southeastern University at Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

When Charles and Marie had been married about three months, Charles decided to risk telling her about the extraterrestrials he had encountered at Indian Springs. Marie wasn't terribly interested in whether or not ETs existed. She only said that if she met one, she hoped she would behave properly. That might just be another way to describe the current buzzword, 'Exopolitics'.

Raising a family pushed memories of the terror and unprecedented experiences on the Indian Springs gunnery ranges into the background, but they couldn't be forgotten. In his spare time, Charles began writing his memoirs for his children and grandchildren. Eighteen years later, when Marie discovered what he had been doing, she convinced him to publish them. She found it easy to come up with a title, cover design and helped edit what eventually became the Millennial Hospitality series, which is now four books. Marie particularly liked Charles' memoirs because they did not attempt to prove the existence of extraterrestrials, but rather, could be read and enjoyed by anyone. They read like a novel and the reader can learn about how to be a better human being. Because of the nature of the material, and to protect the innocent, it seemed prudent to change the names of friends, places, a few distances and directions. The Millennial Hospitality series is without precedent, a truly groundbreaking account of one man's actual experiences with extraterrestrials in the Nevada desert. It is already being hailed as a classic.

"Light My Fire"

by Wild Child
Featuring Dave Brock as Jim Morrison
-Live at Campus JAX 3-9-24



Wild Child is a Los Angeles based band with 20 solid years of performance in the competitive L.A. Music Scene. Faithfully re-creating a live Doors Concert on stage, this is not a typical Doors tribute band! Wild Child's music is painstakingly reproduced and combined with the voice, look and essence of Jim Morrison live on stage. They mirror the depth, energy and emotion of The Doors concerts as they were live back in the late 1960's. Wild Child also utilizes the same musical instruments live as The Doors did over 35 years ago.

Wild Child is Dave Brock’s Doors Experience and he was a former vocalist for Manzarek-Krieger of the doors from 2010 to 2013, Wild Child lead singer Dave Brock fronted the touring act “Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger of The Doors.” Being selected by these two Rock’n Roll Hall of Fame musicians was a huge honor for Dave. This was the ultimate compliment of his talents and speaks volumes for his credibility as a Doors style front man and vocalist.

Meet The ‘Alien’ That Believes She Is Sent From Outer Space

| This Morning


Kelly Tyler is part of a growing number of people called ‘Starseeds’, who claim to be extraterrestrials sent from space to help humankind heal the world. Kelly says she was healed from long-term sickness, after she swapped souls with a ‘walk-in alien’ when she was just a child. Since then, she says, she's been able to 'astral travel' - and can leave her earthly body on command, transporting herself to a galaxy far away, where she meets up with blue aliens. And, it's not just other aliens she can converse with... Kelly says she can also telepathically communicate with animals and trees too.

The Odyssey of Timothy Leary

by Airbaja

Music by
The Doors &
Moody Blues




In halls of strict conformity, where cadets marched in line,
A restless soul took its first flight, defying place and time.
From West Point’s rigid structure to the realms of mind’s expanse,
Timothy Leary danced his path, in a most transcendent trance.

Through prisms of perception, with LSD in hand,
He spearheaded a movement, a visionary’s stand.
In the heartbeat of the sixties, where consciousness took wing,
He played the role of alchemist, transforming everything.

Captured by the system, yet his spirit never chained,
The Weathermen broke prison walls, but his legacy remained.
Subject of both scorn and song, a rebel, sage, and guide,
He beckoned minds to journey forth, and leave the known aside.

In turbulent days of change and strife, he opened doors unseen,
Inviting all to venture deep, into the vast, serene.
An icon in his era, his trip both strange and grand,
Timothy Leary’s odyssey, etched in our hearts and minds, Maan.

My comment on this topic is that Ram Dass was a great being who came out of that culture, but even he too had his hang-ups and was by no means a perfect guy. As Alan Watts said about psychedelics; "Once you get the message, hang up the phone." They're a tool for expanding consciousness, they're not for everyone and they're not a shortcut to wisdom. Carl Jung also said that "beware of unearned wisdom". Not everyone is ready, not everyone is able to see hidden aspects to our so called reality. They open us up to new viewpoints, but also realms that exist. Wisdom only comes through experience, sometimes through mystical experiences and some of them can be induced by psychedelics too. There are different pathways, more natural ones too and finally chemicals too need to be discarded.

Rare white buffalo sacred to Lakota not seen in Yellowstone since birth

Park staff say they have not been able to locate calf, who
fulfilled Lakota prophecy and is named Wakan Gli


https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/f8016ad830dd15dd6fdc2bbc1576c39bcc86cc9d/0_56_1367_820/master/1367.jpg?width=620&dpr=2&s=none
A white buffalo calf born on 4 June 2024, in the Lamar Valley in Yellowstone national park.

Maya Yang
Sun 30 Jun 2024


"A rare white buffalo calf in Yellowstone national park has not been seen since its birth on 4 June, according to park officials.

In a statement released on Friday, the National Park Service (NPS) confirmed that a white buffalo calf was born in Lamar Valley earlier this month, adding that the park’s buffalo management team had received numerous reports of the calf on 4 June from park visitors, professional wildlife watchers, commercial guides and researchers.

However, park staff have since not been able to locate the calf, with the NPS saying: “To our knowledge, there have been no confirmed sightings by park visitors since June 4.”

The calf is leucistic rather than albino and thus has black eyes and hooves with some pigmentation.
According to the park, the birth of the calf was a rare natural phenomenon that only occurred once prior to the near extinction of bison in the late 19th century. Describing the event, the park said the birth in the wild is a “landmark event in the ecocultural recovery of bison” by the NPS as a white calf had never before been born within Yellowstone national park.

The park added that the calf’s birth may reflect the presence of a natural genetic legacy that was preserved in Yellowstone’s buffaloes, which has revealed itself following a successful recovery of the wild buffalo population of 3,000 to 6,000 animals.

In the wild, the chances of a wild white buffalo calf being born are 1 in 1m births, if not less. According to the park, about one in five buffalo calves die each spring shortly after birth due to natural hazards. However, park officials did not disclose in their statement whether they believe the calf has died.

Earlier this month, several Indigenous nations held a spiritual ceremony near Yellowstone national park in which they honored the birth of the calf.

Those in attendance included representatives from the Colville tribes in Washington, Lakota and Sioux in North and South Dakota, Northern Arapaho in Wyoming and Shoshone-Bannock in Idaho, the Associated Press reports.

At the ceremony was a painting of a white calf on a hide with the words “Wakan Gli”, or “Return Sacred” in Lakota."

Looking Horse watches as a tarp reveals the name of the white buffalo calf during a naming ceremony in West Yellowstone, Montana, on 26 June 2024.

"According to Lakota legend, around 2,000 years ago, when food was scarce, the White Buffalo Calf Woman appeared and gave a bowl pipe and a sacred bundle to people and taught them how to pray. She then promised to return again for the sacred bundle in the forms of a black buffalo, a yellow buffalo, a red buffalo and eventually as a white buffalo calf.

Chief Looking Horse, the 19th keeper of the sacred White Buffalo Calf Woman Pipe, said that the holy woman told people: “The next time I stand upon the earth as a white buffalo calf that nothing will be good no more,” the New York Times reports.

The birth of the calf marks a prophecy that “because Mother Earth is sick and has a fever … she’s going to speak to these white animals for peace and harmony”, he added."

Hopefully the spirit world will guard and protect this rare buffalo.

The Mind of the Universe: Diamonds from Heaven with Chris Bache

ec0elBHJXAc


In many Portals conversations we explore the nature and meaning of what some people describe as expanded or greater consciousness — experiencing directly higher levels of intelligence and creativity than are ordinarily accessible through physical senses; to connect and commune with the universal source of cosmic or divine inspiration and purpose.

In this conversation, we follow the unique journey of awakening and transformation of Professor Christopher M. Bache, who explored the nature of consciousness through the clinical use of LSD in a 20-year study.

Chris chronicles his experiences, perceptions, and thoughts about the future of humanity in his book "LSD and The Mind of the Universe: Diamonds from Heaven".

There's a lot more to Wimbledon than the tennis. I couldn't believe what an absolutely stunning place it is. Just head into the village and you are surrounded by parks and history. Oliver Reed has a big connection with the area and you can even do the Oliver reed pub crawl but there is also a wonderful stables from the 19th century and lots of places to hang out.

Of course we had to visit the tennis championships too at the All England Club for Pimms and strawberries with cream, but we also went to the place where it all started.

There's a windmill and a Thai Bhuddist temple too!
We had a lovely day out!

Yes, Mr Jorjani seems to have a bit of a speculative imagination on this and much more ...
But after years of being submersed in the conspiracy community drinking well, I'm finding
reality is far from what I once perceived it to be ... :unsure:

Human Time Travelers: New Evidence Our Timeline
Has Been MANIPULATED | Jason Jorjani

A couple notes I have as I briefly listened to some parts of the full interview of Jason Jorjani, with whom I'm not familiar with...

I don't think time travel is possible, not in the sense we would think of it anyways. Also secondly I find it interesting that in his NDE Jason saw his own death during the next civil war in USA and he said he wasn't an old man when that happened? Yet he doesn't want to believe in determinism, he wants to believe in "real" free will and somehow he concluded that God with capital G wouldn't fit into that equation, which is in my mind nonsensical. All there is One Being, that would be God's Being. It, whatever you may want to call It, has separated itself into seemingly many things to see and experience itself. When you see beauty anywhere, such as in nature then you are seeing the manifestation or language of the Divine, it is something that is supposed to touch the innermost core of your soul.

As the Sufi's in mystical Islam say, this is what that Infinite Consciousness said; "I was a Hidden Treasure; I loved to be known, so I created the creation in order to be known."

Make of that what you will, but I believe that currently humans for the most part don't have real free will. There is the divine will, but individuals have the illusion of free will. That being said, I don't think we are just mere automatons either. We do have some autonomy to make choices, because without choices good nor bad would not exist and in this universe different polarities and duality exist, you can't have the other without the other, the contrast is there for a reason. Without choices there would be no point to any of this.

As C.S. Lewis said;

"If a thing is free to be good it is also free to be bad. And free will is what has made evil possible. Why, then, did God give them free will? Because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having. A world of automata--of creatures that worked like machines--would hardly be worth creating. The happiness which God designs for His higher creatures is the happiness of being freely, voluntarily united to Him and to each other in an ecstasy of love and delight compared with which the most rapturous love between a man and a woman on this earth is mere milk and water. And for that they must be free."

In religious lore as the Islamic one Angels are very close to God, but they have not been given free will so they are not really free beings even if they are high up there in the divine realms. According to Islam Iblis was once an angel who refused to bow down to the first created man, Adam Kadmon and he was cast from up high to lower astral realms and ever since that being or force has been the tempter and tormentor of people. Humans on the other hand have been given "free will", djinn and other beings have been also given it, at least to some degree. We are bound by certain laws of the universe, but we still have the individual sense and will to do as we will. We can be aligned to the divine will or go into another direction, yet eventually all roads lead to Rome. If you are not allowed to be you, then why would you (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbbKMCaOxAQ) even exist in the first place?

Real love can only exist when you allow the "other" to be themselves as they are and you love them for what they are, not trying to impose your will nor trying to own or change them to suit your needs. Love is the absence of subject and object, it is the absence of two separate beings and that's the very basis of unity and oneness. There is only one Being and love recognizes this very fact.

"Love is not a feeling. Love is the experience that others are not others.
Love is the natural condition of all experience before thought has divided it into a multiplicity and diversity of objects, selves and others.

We consider love to be a relationship. We consider love to be a feeling that takes place between two people. Love is not a relationship. It is the collapse of relationship. In the experience of love, the self and the other dissolve. Love is the dissolution of the apparent separation between self and other, and a revelation of the prior unity of these two apparently separate selves. So love is not an experience that the separate self has. It is the dissolution of the separate self, the revelation of reality, the revelation of consciousness. Consciousness is love." ~ Rupert Spira

"Every being is a spark of the Divine or God. Look into the eyes of the dog and sense that innermost core." ~ Eckhart Tolle

Mutilations at Skinwalker Ranch





Join Jack Osbourne and psychic medium Cindy Kaza as they delve into the one and only Skinwalker Ranch on "Jack Osbourne’s Most Haunted."

Drawing on authentic Navajo perspectives, they unpack the legends of skinwalkers and their role in Navajo tradition, offering a nuanced exploration of the cultural beliefs intertwined with the Ranch's paranormal phenomena. Jack shares intimate accounts of his experiences in the Uinta Basin, where he first encountered the unexplained, coinciding with the onset of his MS.

A New Doc Looks Inside Kubrick’s Overlook Hotel —
Watch the Trailer for ‘Shine On —
The Forgotten Shining Location’

The documentary, endorsed by Stanley Kubrick's family estate,
premieres on the filmmaker's official YouTube channel on July 26.

BY CHRISTIAN ZILKO

JULY 19, 2024


https://www.indiewire.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/MCDSHIN_WB003.jpg?w=2520&h=1666&crop=1&resize=1280%2C846


"Few movie sets in Hollywood history have generated more interest than the Overlook Hotel from Stanley Kubrick‘s “The Shining.” The fictional Colorado hotel provides the backdrop for Jack Torrance’s (Jack Nicholson) descent into madness, and Kubrick devotees have spent countless hours analyzing symbolism in the production design and the disorienting effects created by the hotel’s impossible floor plan. The hotel sets, hailed by many as some of the defining craftsmanship of Kubrick’s filmmaking career, now get their moment in the spotlight in a new documentary set to be released on the late director’s birthday.

Produced in partnership with the Stanley Kubrick Film Archive and the director’s estate, “Shine On — The Forgotten ‘Shining’ Location” dives into Kubrick’s process of scouting locations for the film and working with his design team to bring his vision to life. Narrated by Martin Sheen and directed by Paul King, the YouTube documentary features interviews with the film’s art director Les Tomkins, producer Jan Harlan, and Stanley’s daughter Katharina Kubrick. The film will see the collaborators revisiting some of the last remaining studio sets from “The Shining,” which were thought to have been destroyed years ago.

“There have been so many rumors about some of the sets from ‘The Shining’ still existing at Elstree Studios, but to actually find them and walk around them was like discovering a holy grail of film history,” King said in a statement announcing the film.

More than four decades years after its initial release, “The Shining” continues to fascinate film scholars of all stripes. “Room 237,” Rodney Ascher’s controversial documentary about various interpretations of the film, was released in 2012. And in 2023, Pixar veteran Lee Unkrich released a massive three-volume book about the making of the film titled “Stanley Kubrick’s ‘The Shining.'”

“Shine On — The Forgotten ‘Shining’ Location” will be released on Stanley Kubrick’s official YouTube channel on Friday, July 26. Watch the trailer below."

However, as technology has advanced over the years, so have the methods these entities use to communicate with us. We discuss the unusual topic of telephone calls from the dead and explore how such encounters have evolved, from strange Morse code and telegraph messages to peculiar TV transmissions. Are these really the spirits of deceased loved ones, or could unscrupulous entities be masquerading for their own purposes?

ECETI Ranch represents a microcosmic reality of a world-wide collective phenomenon.

The owner of the ranch, James Gilliland, maintains to have experienced UFO related phenomena, including contact with extra-terrestrials, for over 30 years. In addition to his experiences, thousands of guests gravitate to the ranch every year and attest personal accounts of seeing ships, meeting off-world visitors, and healing parts of themselves in a place they call "home".

This film is a candid look at the people and the place that create Enlightened Contact with Extraterrestrial Intelligence. After spending several months at ECETI sharing with James, ranch staff, and guests -- the MapMakers reveal new insights about a rapidly expanding universe in an era of global uncertainty.

Alien abductions often exhibit a recurring pattern, but occasionally some cases are so extraordinary that they stand apart dramatically. One such case involves Kim Carlsberg. Her diary entries recount an unusual and sudden connection with extraterrestrial beings that began following a close encounter in Malibu, California. These entities attempted to alert her to impending earthly disasters and emphasized the importance of sharing the message of them being cosmic saviors. However, beneath this alien veneer lies a more sinister agenda that persists in the world of abductions.

@Aerosmith

It was 1970 when a spark of inspiration became Aerosmith. Thanks to you, our Blue Army, that spark caught flame and has been burning for over five decades. Some of you have been with us since the beginning and all of you are the reason we made rock ‘n’ roll history.

It has been the honor of our lives to have our music become part of yours. In every club, on every massive tour and at moments grand and private you have given us a place in the soundtrack of your lives.

We’ve always wanted to blow your mind when performing. As you know, Steven’s voice is an instrument like no other. He has spent months tirelessly working on getting his voice to where it was before his injury. We’ve seen him struggling despite having the best medical team by his side. Sadly, it is clear, that a full recovery from his vocal injury is not possible. We have made a heartbreaking and difficult, but necessary, decision - as a band of brothers - to retire from the touring stage.

We are grateful beyond words for everyone who was pumped to get on the road with us one last time. Grateful to our expert crew, our incredible team and the thousands of talented people who’ve made our historic runs possible. A final thank you to you - the best fans on planet Earth. Play our music loud, now and always. Dream On. You’ve made our dreams come true.

I had my brief Aerosmith phase when younger, while not being a huge fan I recognize their importance to the rock scene, I think Steven indeed had a unique voice and I think their guitarist has been pretty good. One traditional rock band which surely won't be forgotten. Oh and Steve's pretty daughter Liv Tyler played Arwen too in the Lord of the Rings. :p

The War for Laughs: Why Streamers Are Battling for Stand-Up Comics

What industry contraction? Platforms from Hulu to Amazon are spending wildly to woo comedians like Nate Bargatze and Bill Burr and put a dent in Netflix’s dominance.

BY LACEY ROSE, ALEX WEPRIN
AUGUST 8, 2024

"At the tail end of June, Bill Burr took the stage at Seattle’s Moore Theatre, where he filmed his eighth stand-up special. His last few specials had been with Netflix, where he’d been part of an illustrious roster that includes Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Ali Wong and Jerry Seinfeld.

But those who know Burr say he wanted to feel important — or at least less like a cog in the wheel at a streaming behemoth, which now spits out specials on a weekly basis and largely relies on internal algorithms to get them seen. Plus, there was an excitement about being on the ground floor of something new. So Burr inked a deal with Hulu, the latest entrant to what’s quickly become an arms race for stand-up specials, one of few bright spots in an otherwise bleak entertainment landscape. The same companies that have slashed budgets and cut back on series orders are now ponying up as much as eight figures for stand-up comedy. In fact, Hulu is said to have shelled out roughly $15 million for Burr’s hour, the result of an increasingly common, multiplatform bidding war.

Before the rash of streamers elbowed in, the landscape had been dominated by HBO and, later, by Comedy Central and, to a lesser extent, Showtime. “But no comedian did it to make money back then,” recalls Mainstay Entertainment’s Derek Van Pelt, whose clients include Trevor Noah and Roy Wood Jr. “It was just an advertisement for the tour, and then Netflix comes along, and all of a sudden, it’s like, ‘Wait a minute, this can be a huge, huge source of income.’ ” The platform, led by a dedicated stand-up executive, Robbie Praw, and his comedy fanatic boss, co-CEO Ted Sarandos, had identified an opportunity, then swiftly cornered the market — Rock, Chappelle, Ellen DeGeneres, Amy Schumer — all but eliminating the competition, one eight-figure check at a time. By 2017, execs including HBO chief Casey Bloys had raised the white flag. “It’s hard for me to pay exorbitant prices,” Bloys acknowledged at the time.

Now, nearly a decade later, Netflix remains the preeminent buyer, paying anywhere from a $200,000 license fee, which it considers its starter tier for comics like Hannah Berner, to some $20 million at the Chappelle level. But the streamer no longer has the same stranglehold on the industry’s output, in part because the latter has grown considerably in that time. (One report pegged the total number of comedy specials released in 2023 at more than 150, roughly triple what it was a decade before.) Even those who prefer to sell to Netflix believe having options, be it Amazon Prime Video, YouTube or Live Nation’s Veeps, is a boon for the business. “There’s now the opportunity for every artist to get what market value is,” says WME co-head of comedy Mike Berkowitz, “and it’s no longer one company that’s setting that price.”

For comics and their reps, the decision of where to sell a special typically comes down to a combination of money and eyeballs, though other sweeteners include awards potential, turnaround time and the opportunities beyond the hour itself. As for the various platforms, all eager to boost and retain subscribers, the appeal is largely the same: It’s relatively cheap, prepackaged content that’s already been tested on the road. Plus, notes UTA partner and head of comedy touring Nick Nuciforo, the comedians not only bring their own fans but also do the heavy lifting in marketing through their social media and podcasts. “Unlike most other talent, comedians have this direct relationship with their audience,” he says, “and they can grab that audience and bring it with them, which plays a big role in the ability to promote a special.”

The growing interest in televised specials mirrors the appetite for live comedy, which has seen grosses nearly triple over the past decade, to more than $900 million in 2023, according to Pollstar. At the top, comedians now rival rock stars, with more stand-up acts, from Sebastian Maniscalco to Matt Rife, touring major arenas than ever before. Levity Live founding partner Judi Marmel, whose roster includes Taylor Tomlinson, Bert Kreischer and Leanne Morgan, attributes the explosive demand, in part, to a lack of comedy alternatives. “They’re not making funny movies the way that they used to, so people no longer have that relief,” she says. “So, they’re coming to live stand-up and specials because that desire to laugh is still very much there.”

"Sure, some balk at Netflix’s saturation or its clubby vibe, a tone allegedly set by Sarandos, but it’s still the only platform that’s consistently proven it can transform comics like Wong or Kreischer into massive global touring acts. In fact, Kreischer, who grossed more than $30 million on the road in 2023, enough to land him at No. 2 on the annual Pollstar chart, joked recently that he’ll have a short list of people to thank at his funeral, “and Netflix is at the top.” Berkowitz is quick to praise the newer players, all of whom have shown promise, but, at least for now, he sees Netflix as the destination of choice: “Those other places are going to have to prove that they can compete with Netflix in terms of eyeballs and artist relations,” he says, “or it won’t matter how much they’re willing to pay.”

By all accounts, it’s taken Amazon a few years to settle on a definitive strategy, but that hasn’t stopped it from outbidding the competition on multiple occasions — though given Netflix’s track record, many comics have opted to stay there, even when it’s offering less. (Exceptions include Kevin James, who jumped from Netflix to Amazon earlier this year.) Still, plenty of the town’s top sellers say Amazon is a strong option for a certain type of artist, as it is for a certain type of show, from Reacher to Jack Ryan. At least a few describe it as “Main Street America,” whether it be James, Jim Gaffigan (who released Amazon’s first special, in late 2019), or Nate Bargatze, who dropped Hello World there in early 2023. Amazon’s head of content acquisition, Chris Mansolillo, doesn’t argue with that assessment, though he points to Jimmy O. Yang and Tig Notaro as recent successes.

According to Nuciforo, the touring agent for Gaffigan and Bargatze, who were both previously at Netflix, the former served as a test case for Amazon’s viability. “And from what we learned on Gaffigan, we knew that Nate’s sensibility and his humor could really thrive there,” he says of a move that initially raised eyebrows given Netflix’s positioning in the marketplace. But by any platform’s standards, Bargatze’s “clean comedy” hour was big, racking up 2.9 million viewers in its first month alone. Soon after, he jumped from theaters to arenas, where he now routinely smashes records at 19,000-seat venues like the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. Thus far this year, he’s said to have grossed nearly $90 million on the road, also boosted by a Saturday Night Live viral hosting gig. “To date, Nate’s the most undeniable example that Amazon has had,” says Marmel, “and the industry’s watching really closely to see if it was a one-time thing or if it can happen with other artists.”

Mansolillo is certainly optimistic, telling THR, “We believe it can continue to happen with other comedians.” So, too, is Sam Morril, who dropped a Prime Video special in July: “Because everyone has Prime, right? Who’s not a lazy piece of shit American here, come on,” he jokes. Gaffigan was content enough with the Amazon experience, and the new viewers it brought in, to return with another hour in 2023. “There is some overlap between Netflix and Amazon, obviously, but there were also audiences sampling me that either didn’t have Netflix or, because of Prime, they automatically got Amazon,” he says, adding that the exposure in the U.K., Germany and India was also significant. Mansolillo calls the global reach “another arrow in our quiver.”

Neither Gaffigan’s next special nor Bargatze’s will be with Amazon, however. Bargatze is returning to Netflix, where he’s now said to be getting recognition as a top-tier comic (both in compensation and Sarandos’ attention), and Gaffigan will soon shift to being Hulu’s guinea pig, with his latest hour kicking off the “Hulu’s Laughing Now” brand in November. Gaffigan, who’s also released his work directly and through Comedy Central, believes wholeheartedly that moving from one platform to another is advantageous for a comedian, as it gives new audiences and demographics an opportunity to sample his work. Others, like Van Pelt, would prefer to keep a comic’s library all together. “I love the idea that if you want to go see Trevor Noah, there’s one place,” he says, referring to Netflix.

Over at Hulu, Billy Rosenberg, who ran the streamer’s comedy division until this spring, had identified what he believed was a hole in the market for a more curated approach that hinged on just 12 specials a year. And despite the squeaky-clean image of corporate parent Disney — which, frankly, still gives certain sellers pause — he and his team began lining up major names, including Maniscalco, who’s close to a deal, and Burr. “What I sold up the chain was for the cost of one midsize television comedy series, we could program a year’s worth of specials,” says Rosenberg, whose team was willing to pay a premium to break into the market. Externally, he pitched Hulu as “Target to Netflix’s Walmart.” Some still have doubts over whether the platform can convert series viewers into stand-up ones, an area in which Netflix has a distinct advantage. “Sure, Hulu is willing to pay more,” says a rep, “but does it end up costing me [touring revenue] because not as many people see it?”

In the meantime, Hulu has licensed older specials and remains committed to making noise with its upcoming roster, which, pending deals, also includes Atsuko Okatsuka and Jessica Kirson. (Multiple sources say it made plays for Jamie Foxx and Andrew Schulz, too, but both opted for Netflix.) What’s more, Hulu head of scripted content Jordan Helman notes that they’re “being really thoughtful about how to leverage relationships throughout the larger Disney ecosystem,” which includes introducing its comics to the folks at the film and TV studios. Of course, that plays better with some comedians than others. “I know that the intention is really good, but also just because I’m doing a special for Hulu, I don’t have any expectation that I’m going to be in, like, The Mandalorian,” says Gaffigan, though he admits he was hugely impressed by the sheer number of Disney execs who turned out for his April taping.

HBO, for its part, is playing a slightly different game — smaller and more niche, with a max of eight specials a year. “And when we’re doing eight specials, the difference is our specials really feel special,” says HBO’s exec vp Nina Rosenstein, who has similarly leaned into the ways in which the brand can distinguish itself, apart from reach and money, where multiple sources say its compensation won’t exceed seven figures. Instead, the allure of HBO is a sense of importance, artistry and prestige, which often comes in the form of a real awards campaign. “I just wish more people were watching,” says one seller, voicing a common Max refrain. (Per a recent Nielsen report, Netflix now accounts for 8.4 percent of all TV viewership, followed by Prime Video at 3.1 percent, Hulu at 3 percent and Max, which doesn’t include those who watch linear HBO, at just 1.4 percent.) Still, Alex Edelman, Ramy Youssef, John Early and Nikki Glaser each brought recent hours to HBO, and all four were rewarded with Emmy noms.

Glaser, whose profile has since exploded, thanks in part to her standout performance at Netflix’s Tom Brady roast (see page 52), says it was largely Rosenstein’s enthusiasm that sold her on HBO for her 2024 hour, Someday You’ll Die. Glaser wasn’t yet igniting the kind of bidding war she does now, nor was she particularly interested in being a big global artist — the result of a self-proclaimed phobia of airport customs that she’s only recently gotten over. (“I always feel like I’ve somehow accidentally put heroin in my asshole or something,” she jokes.) That desire to stay stateside proved fortuitous; she recalls many warning her that “if you do HBO, you probably won’t get that many opportunities to perform overseas.”

Comics have other options, too, be it Paramount+, which houses Showtime and Comedy Central, or Peacock, which released Kevin Hart’s most recent special, Reality Check (though neither is in the volume game), as well as membership platforms like Veeps and Patreon. There have been whispers that Apple TV+ might dip a toe in, too, for the right project, though nobody seems clear on what that might be. Still others see a DIY option like YouTube as arguably the best alternative thanks to its vast reach as a platform. What it can’t offer in the form of a big paycheck, it makes up for in exposure and ownership. Plus, many, including Morril, have parlayed a hit YouTube special into lucrative deals at Amazon or Netflix for future hours. (Netflix also uses YouTube, posting clips from its specials to help boost viewership on its own service.)

What excites industry vets like Marmel is that there are no longer gatekeepers, in part because comics are better equipped than ever before to produce (and thus own) their work, and, in part, because there’s no shortage of deep pockets, whether production companies or outside investors, eager to step in to help. “The number-one phone call I get every week is, ‘We’ve got money, who wants to make a special?’ ” says Marmel. “Like any business that’s really booming, there’s this feeling of, ‘Gosh, it seems like they’re printing money over there — how do we become part of that?’”

The Pitch: How Streamers Lure Comics

Amazon Prime Video

Pitch Paychecks and eyeballs, at least for “Main Street America” comics. Chris Mansolillo says it has eight specials lined up for 2025, as it looks to be more selective than rival Netflix.

Comedians Nate Bargatze, Kevin James, Jim Gaffigan, Tig Notaro, Jimmy O. Yang

Hulu

Pitch A curated approach: just 12 a year. “The mantra is very much quality over quantity,” says Jordan Helman. Plus, real money, marketing muscle and opportunities across the Disney portfolio. Eyeballs, however? TBD.

Comedians Gaffigan, Bill Burr, Sebastian Maniscalco, Roy Wood Jr.

Max/HBO

Pitch Prestige plus awards potential. Less clutter: eight a year, tops. It doesn’t engage in bidding wars or guarantee reach, but it does offer high-end production and will throw in overall deals.

Comedians Nikki Glaser, Ramy Youssef, Jerrod Carmichael, Alex Edelman

Netflix

Pitch The category leader with a big footprint (some say too big) and weekly output and a giant comedy festival. Also: the only platform that consistently transforms comics into global touring acts.

Comedians Joe Rogan, Matt Rife, Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Ali Wong

Youtube

Pitch Exposure via a massive global audience and a strong algorithm that can feed comedy fans set after set after set. “But,” as Sam Morril says of its drawback, “it’s also nice to get paid a nice sum of money for your work.”

Comedians Ali Siddiq, Sal Vulcano, Sasheer Zamata

A Rare Look ...

EXCLUSIVE: INSIDE LUCILLE BALL AND DESI ARNAZ
FIRST DESILU STUDIOS | Special Tour of Iconic Studio

Scott On Tape


Sunset Las Palmas Studios, formerly General Service Studios and Hollywood Center Studios, is an American independent entertainment production lot located at 1040 North Las Palmas Avenue in the Hollywood neighborhood of Los Angeles. It has stage facilities and provides filmmaking services to clients in the film, television and advertising industries. Founded in 1919, it is one of the oldest production facilities in Hollywood and has been the host of many notable video productions for over a century.

In 1919 John Jasper, a former associate of Charlie Chaplin, built exterior sets, three production stages, and several bungalows on a 16.5-acre site in Hollywood; he named it Hollywood Studios Inc. The first stages resembled hot houses with steel frames, cloth walls, glass roofs, and clerestory windows. Outdoor sets included an "Americana" residential street, a massive New York street, and an elegant Spanish villa. Among the first tenants was comedian Harold Lloyd who produced some of his most successful films on the lot.

The lot changed ownership and name several times during its early years continuing to evolve and grow. In 1926, Metropolitan Studios began construction of one of the industry's first sound stages. A few years later, Howard Hughes moved production to the lot used and shot the World War I epic Hell's Angels (1930), known for its innovative use of sound and for the screen debut of Jean Harlow.

Dozens of films were produced on the lot during the 1930s and 1940s including the Mae West vehicles Klondike Annie and Go West, Young Man (both 1936); the 21-picture Hopalong Cassidy series, the Bing Crosby classic Pennies from Heaven (1936), and the Marx Brothers’ A Night in Casablanca (1946). Douglas Fairbanks Jr.; Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy; Fred Astaire, Cary Grant, Glenn Ford, Fredric March, and Erich von Stroheim were among the stars who worked on the lot in the pre-World War II years. James Cagney made several films on the lot while his brother William was a part owner.

With the advent of television production on the lot changed dramatically. In 1951, the lot made history when Stage 2 became home to I Love Lucy, the first prime-time comedy shot on film and produced before a live audience originating from the West Coast.
From 1951 to 1953, it was the home of Desilu Productions, owned by Lucille Ball and her husband Desi Arnaz. The television version of actress Eve Arden's radio series Our Miss Brooks produced its first season on the stage adjacent to I Love Lucy. Both stages were known as the Desilu Playhouse seeing that a common entrance had been created at the rear of each sound stage. After the second season of I Love Lucy, Desilu moved to what is now Red Studios Hollywood. Our Miss Brooks and other Desilu produced and filmed series moved with them.

The floodgates soon opened and the lot became the center of television's Golden Age. In the 1950s, General Service was the home of George Burns's McCadden Corporation (The Burns and Allen Show, The Bob Cummings Show, Panic, and The People's Choice); Ozzie Nelson's Stage Five Productions (The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet) and Jack Chertok Productions (Private Secretary). It later hosted a number of classic CBS comedies including Petticoat Junction, Green Acres and The Beverly Hillbillies. The Lone Ranger, Perry Mason, Mr. Ed, The Addams Family and Get Smart were also produced on the lot. George Burns maintained his office on the lot until his death.

In 1980, director Francis Ford Coppola purchased the lot, naming it Zoetrope Studios; he intended to use it to produce a slate of films. Among them was the ambitious movie musical One from the Heart. For the film, Coppola transformed the entire lot into a giant set that included a replica of part of Las Vegas’ McCarran Airport. During this time Mel Brooks's Brooksfilms also rented a stage on the lot to film Frances, starring Jessica Lange. Cost overruns on One From the Heart combined with its poor box-office performance caused Coppola to fall into financial difficulties and the lot was sold again, this time to Canadian real estate developers, the Singer Family.

In 1984, The Jacksons used this lot to rehearse for the Victory Tour.

A Sci-Fi Dramatic Short


THE RING OF LIGHT


An unnamed, anonymous woman works in an empty, authoritarian society in a menial job. One day, she sees a vision of a young woman in a world of color. This woman is smiling and radiant, tempting the worker to join her.

After this sighting, the worker is promoted by her boss to a new position, where she is entrusted with the most valuable item in this society. She asks about what she saw but is told to ignore it and focus on the job.

Directed and written by Maxfield Cooper Smith, starring Katie Mumford, Tom Martin, and Anastasiia Bannikova - this stylized sci-fi dramatic short evokes the stories of Franz Kafka in its juxtaposition of the mundane and the surreal. Its visual style is minimalistic, stripped down to a set of simple yet potently suggestive symbols that evoke a soulless, emotionally barren world, shot in elegantly sculpted yet foreboding black-and-white cinematography ...

Yet it is emotionally recognizable to anyone who has felt deadened by the world around them, at odds with dominant values and longing to find a realm that offers freedom, lightness and joy. In choosing the unknown path, the ultimate hope is meeting our truest selves.

A Swedish Sci-Fi Short Film


DAISY



Lars and Lena are a couple eking out a living on a dairy farm. One of their cows, Daisy, has gone missing and they go out looking for her. But their search is frustrating and odd, and they fail to find her.

Their inability to find Daisy seems to spark a logistical and existential crisis in Lars, who begins to look at their way of life in a new way. As their search deepens, they uncover a deeper mystery that will have them questioning themselves and the world as they know it.

Directed and written by Torbjorn Edwall, this wry, visually stunning mystery-drama uses the jumping-off point of a beloved cow's disappearance as both a meditation on humankind's stewardship of nature, an exploration of the relationship between man and animal and the set-up for a delightfully off-the-wall ending.

A Short Sci-Fi Drama

KILLING TIME


Cindy is a physicist out for a run. She's been awaiting the results of her latest experiment, which involves the ability to fold space-time. As she runs in the woods, she attracts the attention of a mysterious figure lurking in the woods.

When she comes home, she gets into an argument with her father, who is also a scientist, and whose work Cindy has built upon. Her father urges her to abandon the experiment, saying her obsession with it will ruin her life. But Cindy persists, though its results force her to reckon with the decisions of the past.

Directed and written by P. Patrick Hogan, this short sci-fi drama leverages its ability to build tension and create suspense, drawing in viewers into a story that questions the limits of human knowledge and how far we should go to pursue ideas and capacities beyond our understanding. While its subject matter is scientific and speculative, the film itself functions mainly as a mix of family drama and suspense thriller, beginning with the tracking of a mysterious figure in the woods that itself is watching a woman closely. It follows her back home, where we assume it lies in wait for the perfect moment.

The Apprentice": New Film Opens Despite Trump's Attempts
to Block Anyone from Seeing It

Democracy Now!



Oct 11, 2024

We speak with the director of _The Apprentice_, "the movie Trump doesn't want you to see," which opens today in theaters despite legal threats from the former president. The film looks at how Trump was mentored by Roy Cohn, former chief counsel to Senator Joseph McCarthy during the Red Scare. He went on to represent Trump as he built his New York real estate empire, and "was the person who sort of built Trump, as a person, as a brand, as an identity," says Abbasi.

I saw this movie on the opening night. It's excellent, and it is not "pro" or "anti" Trump -- it's quite based on real events that can be easily verified. They went to great effort to accurately replicate historical scenes. Ali Abbasi did a great job with this movie.

An Aussie Short

Walter



Two peace-loving hippies, Clay and his pregnant partner Rocky, are driving in their van, enjoying the ride, each other's company and the music playing on the radio. But their free-spirited journey hits a bump as they discover they've hit and run over a dog.

They discover that the small canine -- called Walter -- belongs to a family of patriotic war veterans. Owning up to their role in Walter's demise, they attempt to inform the family of what happened -- and find themselves embroiled in a culture clash and potentially deadly confrontation.

This short Australian comedy -- written and directed by Dave Wade and produced by Kirsty Stark -- has a pared-down, slender narrative: it's essentially a small dramatic event and then a resulting difficult conversation and confrontation. But with great wit and brevity and a uniquely dry, laconic tone, the storytelling elevates this tall tale into a small comic gem about cultural and generational divides, all while building a surprising amount of suspense in its compact run-time.

Gladiator II’ First Reactions From Early Screening: “A Total Spectacle With a Pulsating Pace” The sequel starring Denzel Washington, Paul Mescal and Pedro Pascal opens in theaters on Nov. 22.


By Carly Thomas

Plus Icon

October 18, 2024

Gladiator II had its first screening Friday night and early reactions have already made their way to social media.

The sequel to the 2000 film was screened at the Paramount Studios lot in Los Angeles, where media outlets and film critics got a first look at the movie starring Denzel Washington, Paul Mescal and Pedro Pascal.

Gladiator II, directed by Ridley Scott, sees Mescal playing a grown-up Lucius Verus II, a nephew to emperor Commodus from the original film, played by Joaquin Phoenix. Lucius returns to Rome after being forced into slavery to battle not as a ruler, but as a gladiator out for revenge and power, and seeks to return the glory of Rome to its people.

The cast also includes Connie Nielsen, Joseph Quinn, Derek Jacobi, Rory McCann, Fred Hechinger, Matt Lucas, May Calamawy, Tim McInnerny, Peter Mensah and Alec Utgoff. The movie opens in theaters on Nov. 22.

Gladiator II is set for a tentpole release by Paramount Pictures at Thanksgiving after the original film, which was released more than two decades ago, won five Oscars and earned $465.4 million worldwide. The first trailer released in July also racked up 215 million global cross-platform views in just a few days.

Full critics reviews for Gladiator II won’t drop until closer to the film’s release date, but read on for a sampling of the first reactions to the movie after the screening.

THE BUYERS


Adriana is a wife and mother who has recently moved into a new home with her children and husband. While her husband is away for work, she is left to unpack and settle into the new home, and it's a stressful experience since everything has been essentially "shoved into a box" by movers.

Her new neighbors, Carol and Felix, come by to introduce themselves. They're eager to help -- almost off-puttingly so -- but Adriana turns them down. Yet Carol and Felix persist in being neighborly, to the point of being intrusive and offensive. When Adriana tries to banish them off her property altogether, it ignites a confrontation that spins out of control.

So, let me be judged.

Yes, it is harsh.

Hollywood has been a vector for for reality contamination.

The utility of great actors is distraction, entertainment and blurring reality for unremarkable intellects.

Here is the appropriate theme song for "great actors".

Viewer Discretion is Advised


KEEP IT QUIET

A veterinarian hides her depression.




Corey is a veterinarian who lives with her grown daughter and works in an animal clinic. She also is suffering from severe depression, which she struggles to keep hidden from her family and friends.

She navigates many small but cutting indignities and challenges as she looks after everyone but herself. But soon she reaches her breaking point and contemplates the worst.

Written and directed by Yaya, this powerful, thoughtful short drama tackles the weighty topics of depression and suicidality as its main character struggles to conceal her mental health struggles from the world around her. Many narratives tackle these issues, but this short offers a unique angle, grounding its story in Corey's quotidian reality and dramatizing the efforts to hide it.

Many performances of depression portray it as sadness or listlessness, but Schwimmer's portrayal -- and the gift of KEEP IT QUIET -- gets at a fundamental truth of depression. More than just sadness or "feeling down," it's profound loneliness, isolation and hopelessness. It also portrays how easy it is for people to hide it, and how many people around someone with depression simply don't pay attention enough to notice it. Yet ultimately this concealment only leads to more isolation, compounding the psychological weight until it gets unbearable. Corey reaches that point, but the film's unique ending foils her attempt, offering a much-needed catharsis for both Corey and the audience. Facing the depth of feeling within, there's finally space for some fragile hope -- and gratitude for the strange interventions of fate.

What Triggered the Disclosure Movement?

| Dr. Steven Greer & Billy Carson


Nov 12, 2024
Over the last 30 years, the disclosure movement, sparked by Dr. Steven Greer's Project Starlight in the early 1990s, has unveiled layers of hidden truth regarding ET activity. Backed by insider information, it builds a substantial evidence database of ET technology presence. This is a highlight from Gaia's 10-part in-depth series with Dr. Steven Greer: https://www.gaia.com/disclosure

About Dr. Steven Greer:
Dr. Steven Greer is renowned for his dedication to disclosing classified UFO and extraterrestrial information. Over the past 30 years, he has briefed senior government officials worldwide, conducted hundreds of interviews, press conferences, and lectures. As the author of five books and the producer of documentaries seen by millions, he continues to educate people on peaceful contact with interstellar civilizations, the world of UFOs and UAPs, CE5 contact protocols, meditation techniques, and the transformative power of free energy. Dive into our discussions on Close Encounters, Unacknowledged, the Lost Century, and other documentaries, movies, and trailers. His podcasts with Joe Rogan, Patrick Bet David, Shawn Ryan, Danica Patrick, Logan Paul, Bob Lazar and other pioneers cover topics like remote viewing, ancient mysteries, Area 51, alien sightings, and advanced technology.

Mysterious orb zooming past NYC accidentally caught on film by local news chopper...


A news helicopter incidentally captured a mysterious orb-like object zooming over the Hudson River and past Lower Manhattan.

In the final seconds of a Fox 5 news report that aired Monday, an orb-shaped object or light can be seen in the crystal clear New York sky, making an arcing pathway in the direction of the news chopper which was filming from south of the Battery.

The orb appears white in the distance and takes on a blue tint as it gets closer to the camera.

The potential object outpaces every boat on the Hudson and quickly arcs its way past the news chopper.

It is unclear whether the orb is a real-world object or a light refraction on a lens or piece of glass ...

The Dark History of Atlantis

A short romantic drama


DENZEL

A young man creates an alter ego for dating.



A young man has trouble navigating the sometimes rocky, challenging waters of the dating scene. Finding it socially challenging, he creates an alter ego he calls Denzel to help him muster the confidence to meet and take women out, in the hopes of finding love and connection.

Denzel is smooth, confident and self-assured. But despite all his strengths, he still has trouble meeting women and finding love. After some unfortunate dates, the hopeful young man learns the limitations of his alter ego, and must learn instead to accept and embrace who he truly is.

It was touching. I was listening to a synopsis and interview about a movie starring a girl with cerebral palsy. One of the questions asked was how people suffering from a disease that makes them 'special' but has nothing that makes them extraordinary relate to a movie about and starring a 'special' actress who is remarkable in ways 'outside the scope of the disease'. It was a pretty heavy question to be asked during a movie interview.

Science, Consciousness, and the Future ...


“I am convinced at this point that there’s a higher civilization rendering our space,
or running it on some kind of substrate.”

Danny Goler’s claims may seem far-fetched to some, but they also tap into one of the deepest questions humanity has ever asked: What is the nature of reality? Whether his discovery is the key to unlocking a hidden digital matrix or simply a fascinating quirk of perception, it opens the door to new discussions about the intersection of technology, consciousness, and the limits of human understanding.

Could we be living in a simulation? Is there truly a code running behind the curtain of our reality? These are questions that will undoubtedly take time to answer, but Goler’s work pushes us to consider the possibilities.

In a world where science and spirituality often clash, Goler’s discovery might just be the bridge that brings them closer together.

Alien Language Found Inside the DMT Space: What is It Telling Us?

| Danny Goler

Danny Jones Clips


Danny Goler is an independent researcher, filmmaker, and self-proclaimed explorer of altered states of consciousness. His journey to unlock the mysteries of reality has led him down a unique path that blends technology, psychedelics, and a desire to push the boundaries of human perception. Goler recently made a claim that he discovered a visible, repeating code when using a diffracted laser while under the influence of DMT (Dimethyltryptamine). His work, which he shares through social media platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, has captured the curiosity of many.

Goler’s background includes growing up with a nuclear physicist grandfather, which ignited his early interest in science and the cosmos. This, paired with his artistic ventures in filmmaking, set the foundation for his current explorations into the intersection of psychedelics and digital phenomena.

A Short Film Drama


UNKNOWN CALLER

A man gets a scam call.


Donny is desperate to get his paper tax return sent off with the daily mail delivery. But he's frustrated by a skeptical mail carrier, who can't quite believe how unsavvy Donny is about the Internet -- which Donny still calls the "information superhighway" -- as well as his phone constantly ringing with an unknown caller.

When he gets a series of messages from phishers and scammers, he decides to give them a piece of his mind, calling them back to berate them for their nefarious schemes. But then he finds himself caught up in a surprisingly soul-searching conversation and realizes things are a little more complicated than he thought.

Directed by Nardeep Khurmi and written by Denzil J. Meyers (who also plays the leading role), this short dramedy has a lightness of touch that belies a much deeper inquiry into the humanity of the often faceless voices on the other end of those impersonal services and solicitation calls ...

The humor here isn't found in hitting punchlines, but rather in portraying the misalignment between a man and the fast-moving mores of contemporary life.

In this episode, we dive into these mysterious drone sightings and explore potential connections to high-strangeness encounters, including flying humanoids, winged creatures, and ghostly apparitions. Are these sightings the result of human-made technology, or is there something else at play, drawing attention for its own unknown reasons?

Why Was Laurel Canyon Special?

When Joni Mitchell first came to Los Angeles, she was given a book by a friend that said, “Ask anyone in America where the craziest people live and they’ll tell you California. Ask anyone in California where the craziest people live and they’ll say Los Angeles. Ask anyone in Los Angeles where the craziest people live and they’ll tell you Hollywood. Ask anyone in Hollywood where the craziest people live and they’ll say Laurel Canyon. And ask anyone in Laurel Canyon where the craziest people live and they’ll say Lookout Mountain.”

So Joni bought a house on Lookout Mountain.

This was the sentiment among many in the late 60s and early 70’s seeking an alternative lifestyle in the Los Angeles hills. Not only was Laurel Canyon just a stone’s throw away from the Sunset Strip, it smelled of eucalyptus, acted as a reprieve away from the hustle and bustle, offered a groovy scene, and it was chock-full of characters.

That said, this scene wasn’t the first to have Laurel Canyon as its home base. In fact, in the early 20th century, when the area was first being developed, the Canyon attracted personalities such as Wally Reid, Harry Houdini, Bessie Love, and Errol Flynn. Then, in the post-WWII boom, the area began to welcome residents from the Beat Generation, with a couple of cool jazz cafes having popped up nearby.

But while the Canyon has lived a few lives, it was the late 1960’s / early 1970s that put Laurel Canyon on the map for all things creative, open-minded, and free-wheeling. Sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll, man.

He blinded me with his science ...

Have aliens visited Earth?

| Adam Frank
(https://www.adamfrankscience.com/about)
Adam Frank is an astrophysicist studying star systems and the search for extraterrestrial life and alien civilizations.

Lex Clips


About
Adam Frank fell in love with astronomy when he was 5 years old and the affair has never cooled.

Late one night in the family library, Adam found the keys to the universe sketched out on the covers of his dad’s pulp-science-fiction magazines—astronauts bounding across the jagged frontiers of alien worlds, starships rising to discovery on pillars of fire. The boundless world of possibilities on those covers became the one he was determined to inhabit.

Later, the love for astronomy transformed into a passion for the practice of science itself when his father’s simple explanation of electric currents and sound waves turned the terror of a booming thunderstorm into an opportunity to marvel at the world’s beauty. He is now the Helen F. and Fred H. Gowen professor of astrophysics at the University of Rochester.

For many years Adam was a leading expert on the final stages of evolution for stars like the sun and the formation of powerful jets when stars first form. His computational research group at the University of Rochester developed advanced supercomputer tools for studying how stars form and how planets evolve. His current work focuses on life in the Universe, the search for “technosignatures” of other exo-civilizations, along with climate change and the “Astrobiology of the Anthropocene.” He has also carrying out work on the physics of life through studies via an information theory perspective.

A self-described “evangelist of science,” Adam is committed to showing others the beauty and power of science, and exploring the proper context of science in culture. His last book Light of the Stars: Alien Worlds and the Fate of the Earth received praise from The New York Times, NPR and Scientific American. He has written two other books, The Constant Fire: Beyond the Religion and Science Debate, and About Time: Cosmology and Culture at the Twilight of the Big Bang.

Adam’s newest work is The Little Book of Aliens.

“The World's Ultimate Wind-Up Merchant?”
Graham Hancock on Pyramids, Atlantis & God

Piers Morgan Uncensored




Dec 23, 2024

British author and journalist Graham Hancock (https://grahamhancock.com/) has had a number of pejorative terms affixed to his name; chiefly among them are pseudoarchaeologist and pseudohistorian. But Hancock doesn't claim to be in possession of any special knowledge; merely that he is fascinated by the questions science and history struggle to answer. His vast knowledge on the intricacies of the Egyptian pyramids, to his mind, only makes one more sure that we don't fully understand them.

Piers Morgan holds Hancock to account, who in turn, deftly backs up his position that humanity has much more to learn. They discuss history, God, spirits and more.

Everybody in the western world knows about Tommy, The Who's rock opera featuring the deaf, dumb and blind boy who sure plays a mean pinball.

The Who made another rock opera a few years later, the story of Jimmy the Mod (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mod_(subculture)) (a movement in Britain in the 60s). Many fans of The Who consider Quadrophenia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrophenia) to be the band's greatest album.


Quadrophenia: Can You See the Real Me?



About

In his home studio and revisiting old haunts in Shepherds Bush and Battersea, Pete Townshend opens his heart and his personal archive to revisit ‘the last great album the Who ever made’, one that took the Who full circle back to their earliest days via the adventures of a pill-popping mod on an epic journey of self-discovery.

But in 1973 Quadrophenia was an album that almost never was. Beset by money problems, a studio in construction, heroin-taking managers, a lunatic drummer and a culture of heavy drinking, Townshend took on an album that nearly broke him and one that within a year the band had turned their back on and would ignore for nearly three decades.

With unseen archive and in-depth interviews from Townshend, Roger Daltrey, Keith Moon, John Entwistle and those in the studio and behind the lens who made the album and thirty page photo booklet. Contributors include: Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, Ethan Russell, Ron Nevison, Richard Barnes, Irish Jack Lyons, Bill Curbishley, John Woolf, Howie Edelson, Mark Kermode and Georgiana Steele Waller.
