Electric vehicles, we are often told, are the future. A whole range of carmakers and nations have plans to go electric.
The largest US manufacturer, General Motors, says it will phase out fossil-fuel vehicles by 2035. Norway has set a goal to end sales of new petrol and diesel cars by 2025, the UK by 2030, and France by 2040.
In Australia, only about 2% of new cars sold today are electric. Federal government modelling in 2021 predicted a jump to 90% of the vehicle fleet by 2050.
The new federal government has put electric vehicles firmly on the agenda. Industry Minister Chris Bowen did so in a speech at the EV Summit on August 19. As global consultancy McKinsey and Co has declared, "the automotive future is electric".
A very long and troubled history
What is often overlooked is that electric vehicles have a history as well as a future. If we look back we can see they are not a futuristic dream but a longstanding transport option.
This history also illuminates the barriers that electric vehicles face – and are steadily overcoming. It is a troubled history with particular relevance to Australians, so long attached to internal combustion.
Electric vehicles have been around since car manufacturing began. Robert Davidson built the first practical electric vehicle – a 16-foot (4.9 metre) truck driven by electro-magnetic motors – in Scotland in 1837. This was decades before the internal combustion engine was invented.
As early as 1881, battery-operated buses operated in Paris. They were soon adopted in other cities, including Berlin, London and New York.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, electric car makers competed toe-to-toe with their emerging fossil-fuel rivals. Beginning in 1914, for example, the Detroit Taxicab and Transfer Company built and ran a fleet of nearly 100 electric taxis. This was not unusual. A New York Times article observed:
"At the turn of the 20th century, quiet, smooth, pollution-free electric cars were a common sight on the streets of major American cities."
Made by the Anderson Carriage Company, the Detroit Electric was a mainstream model in the late 1910 and early 1920s. In an era when petrol-powered cars were smelly and greasy, electric cars were popular with women. Even Henry Ford's wife, Clara, drove a Detroit Electric car until 1930 because she did not like the noise and fumes of the Ford Model T.
Although the internal combustion engine gradually gained the upper hand – partly because of the limited range of electric vehicles – little-known ventures into electric car-making continued. As author Tom Standage has written in his book, A Brief History of Motion, these vehicles have a "lost history" that is important to explore.
"…as more people bought private cars, electric vehicles took on a new connotation: they were women's cars."

A new post-war breed
After the second world war, a new breed of electric vehicles emerged. Most were modified versions of fossil-fuelled cars. They included the 1959 Henney Kilowatt, which used a Renault Dauphine chassis and body, and the 1979-80 Lectric Leopard, made by the US Electricar Corporation, based on a Renault 5.
One of the most popular was the Citicar, built between 1974 and 1976 by the Sebring-Vanguard Company in Florida. Based in Massachusetts, Solectria later made the Solectria Force, derived from a GM Geo.
Although petrol-powered cars remained dominant, the electric car's rise was predicted for decades. In the US, automotive writer David Ash saw electric cars as the future as early as 1967. "On a clear day, you will see the electric car," he wrote, noting that it offered a solution to America's rising air pollution and dependence on foreign oil. "Produce Electric Cars", energy expert Edwin F. Shelley advocated in 1980, following the second oil crisis of the 1970s.
At the time, the US Congress agreed. It passed the 1976 Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Act with the aim of developing vehicles that did not depend on foreign oil.
In the late 1980s, GM developed the pioneering Impact (or EV1). The EV1 was ultimately killed when California – following sustained industry lobbying – reversed a strict emission mandate. In 2021, however, Automotive News declared the EV1 had "planted the seed for the industry embrace of EVs now".
The 1996 General Motors EV1. 7 years before Tesla existed.
Ask yourself: How did GM go from a decade head start to selling just 26 electric vehicles in the same quarter that Tesla sold more than 300,000? $TSLA $GM pic.twitter.com/6hZ2uQKAiM

Breakthrough depended on better batteries
Early electric vehicles suffered from limited battery range, a big drawback in large countries such as Australia and the US. The breakthrough came as early as the 1990s, when rechargeable lithium ion batteries emerged. Almost 20 years ago, Tesla was founded to take advantage of this technology.
Between 2008 and 2020, the price of battery packs dropped 80%, to around US$20,000. This made electric vehicles a viable alternative to fossil-fuel-powered cars, especially if government policies encouraged consumers to make the switch. In markets where such policies apply, they are making rapid strides.
History also informs us about the barriers to mass adoption of electric vehicles. The same concerns – range, lack of sound and smell, brand recognition – have been raised for decades. As David Ash wrote in 1967:
"The modern auto is only part transportation. It is also power symbol, magic carpet, toy and companion. Will we buy cars that cannot be made to roar?"
A vehicle whose time has come
Today, the electric car's hour seems to have finally come. In an era of climate change, tightening regulations aimed at the internal combustion engine are producing real change. In 2021, road vehicles produced 17% of global carbon dioxide emissions. As a 2017 New York Times editorial declared:
"There is simply no credible way to address climate change without changing the way we get from here to there […]."
The electric vehicle's environmental credentials – noted by consumers in the early 20th as well as early 21st century – are overcoming the century-long dominance of the fossil-fuel-powered car. Rather than being new, electric cars have played – and are now winning – the long game.

Promontory Point Landfill
Located on the shore of Great Salt Lake, Promontory Point Resources owns and operates the Promontory Point Landfill. The Landfill began construction this past year as a Class I Landfill – meaning is can only accept in-state waste. The Landfill is permitting to accept over 380 million tons of Utah's waste.
This year, Promontory Point Resources submitted an application to the Utah Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) for a Class V landfill, in order to accept and dispose of industrial waste from out of state. FRIENDS of Great Salt Lake is concerned with the potential for the Promontory Point Landfill to release of toxic contaminants into Great Salt Lake.
FRIENDS of Great Salt Lake and our partnering organizations: Utah Audubon Council, Utah Airboat Association, Utah Waterfowl Association, Great Salt Lake Alliance, GSL Audubon, Western Resource Advocates, South Shore Wetlands & Wildlife Management, Inc., League of Women Voters of Salt Lake, National Audubon Society, Utah Sierra Club, HEALUtah, Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment, Utah Rivers Council, residents and business owners from Box Elder County, and our organizing partners, the Great Salt Lake Institute, Weber State University, and Utah State University hosted three public information meetings to discuss Promontory Point Resources, LLC Landfill and its application with the State Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control for a Class V waste permit -- a permit specifically designed to accept waste from out of state.
A Class V permit would allow the company to receive California Hazardous waste, which that state defines as "waste with a chemical composition or other properties that make it capable of causing illness, death, or some other harm to humans and other life forms." Waste would also include coal ash from throughout the West and Midwest. Coal ash, or as Utah calls it, Coal Combustion Residual, is the byproduct of burning coal to generate electricity. Depending on where the coal is mined, it can contain an array of dangerous toxicants, including arsenic, lead, mercury, antimony, and boron. The landfill would also be able to accept special wastes and small quantity generator hazardous wastes, such as low-level infectious waste, heavy metals, solvents, and a variety of organic compounds like PCBs.
Located on the south west tip of the Promontory Peninsula on the north shore of Great Salt Lake, the landfill operation brings great potential risks to the Great Salt Lake Ecosystem, a Western Hemispheric Shorebird Reserve Network Site for millions of migratory birds, and to the $1.3 billion in revenue that the Lake generates annually to the State of Utah.
You can read more in the Winter 2018 FRIENDS of Great Salt Lake newsletter. Learn about this important issue and its long term implications to Great Salt Lake and all Utahns.

The Shared Solution is a Better Alternative to the West Davis Freeway
As part of a growing coalition of organizations and citizens, FRIENDS is working with others to ensure that UDOT gives the Shared Solution alternative a full and fair analysis as an alternative to the West Davis Freeway. It's a better way to plan for future population growth, reduces air pollution and protects precious farmlands, wetlands and communities.
Interview with Roger Borgenicht of Utahns for Better Transport
Keep raising your concerns, doubts, and misgivings about the West Davis Freeway
Comments are pouring in about the proposed route of the West Davis Corridor, and highway officials on Friday promised the Utah Transportation Commission they will study all seriously — including a "no freeway" alternative pushed by some environmental and community groups.
The Utah Department of Transportation told the commission it has received about 680 formal comments since May when it unveiled its preferred route for that freeway, which would essentially become the northwest expansion of Legacy Parkway through Davis and Weber counties.
While federal rules require a 45-day public comment period, UDOT extended that to 90 days, which ends Aug. 23.
Great Salt Lake is a place where nothing is as it appears. It is a landscape of the imagination, where anything is possible.

DASH Stable's Ice It, second in the last two editions of the $75,000 Aflac Supreme Hurdle, prevailed by a head over stablemate Gibralfaro in the Steeplechase at Callaway's signature race on Saturday.
Sean McDermott, aboard second finisher Gibralfaro, claimed foul, alleging interference at the fourth from last fence, but Callaway's stewards disallowed the claim. Gillian Johnston's Set to Music finished third, three lengths behind Gibralfaro.
Carrington Holdings' Boss Man --- which is trained in Camden by Arch Kingsley Jr. --- who had set the early pace with Gibralfaro, finished fourth. Darren Nagle kept Ice It at the back of the field before launching his bid on the final circuit of the Pine Mountain, Ga., course.
Ice It and Riverdee Stable's Gibralfaro are trained by Jack Fisher, who completed the hat trick after winning the previous two races on the Steeplechase at Callaway program. The three wins moved the Maryland- based horseman into the lead for the trainer title ahead of Ricky Hendriks.
The Kingsley-conditioned Show Court, winner of the 2017 Carolina Cup, closed the afternoon by winning the $25,000 Standard Concrete Cup flat race. The National Steeplechase Association season comes to a closes on Sunday with the Steeplechase of Charleston meet at Stono Ferry in Hollywood, S.C.

Ringling Bros. retired all of its elephants in 2016, ending a 145-year tradition, after pushback from the public about the pachyderms being forced to perform. Bullhooks, which resemble fire pokers and were used to control elephants during training, were also banned in cities and states across the United States.
The train cars are located on abandoned tracks in the woods about 4,000 feet from the town limits of Spring Hope near 518 S. Old Franklin Road, officials said.
P.T. Barnum may be the only man in history who ever attempted to achieve respectability by taking a midget to Buckingham Palace to meet Queen Victoria. And somehow he pulled it off. It happened in 1844, when Barnum was 33 and decided the time had come to shed his reputation as a cheap con man.
In circuses, elephants and tigers are beaten, hit, poked, prodded, and jabbed with sharp hooks, sometimes until they're bloody. Parents planning a family trip to the circus often don't know about the violent training sessions that animals endure, which can involve ropes, chains, bullhooks, and electric shock prods.
Animal-free circuses have all the thrills, chills, and fun that you expect at the big top—but none of the cruelty to animals.
Other notable animal-free circuses include:
Cirque Plume.
Flying High Circus.
Imperial Circus.
Les Colporteurs.

Circus Cruelty
Animals in circuses are often beaten, shocked, kicked, or cruelly confined in order to train them to be obedient and do tricks. With elephants, the abuse begins when they are babies to break their spirits. All four of the baby elephant's legs are chained or tied for up to 23 hours per day.

The salaries of Circus Performers in the US range from $16,640 to $74,880 , with a median salary of $35,360 . The middle 50% of Circus Performers makes $35,360, with the top 75% making $74,880.
7. Despite his great outward success, poor investments coupled with the general downturn of the Depression, left Ringling near penniless at the time of his 1936 death. Some news reports had his bank accounts totaling a mere $311.
One daughter died in childhood; another was dropped from his will for committing adultery.

Love @ Air Force is the story of Sushil Aswathi and Shabd Mishra. The narrator of the story is Sushil. He talks about his friend, Shabd, and his love for a girl they knew as kids.
Sushil and Shabd were the best of friends in class eleven and twelve. Shabd had made Sushil realize the value of a true friend. Shabd was in love with a girl called Soumya Maharishi. However, he never found the courage to communicate his feelings with her because his father's rank in the Air Force was lower than the rank that her father held. Soon, Sushil got recruited by the Air Force and left for training. Shabd joined AFMC, Pune with the intention of being the perfect match for Soumya. However, by the time he passed out, Soumya was already married to an Air Force Officer. Twenty years pass, and they are now in their late thirties. Sushil is married and has two children. Shabd is unmarried and is still hanging on to the memories of Soumya. Sushil and Shabd meet after all these years and have a lot to talk about. When Sushil learns that Shabd is still in love with Soumya, he is worried for him. Shabd uses his influence to somehow get Soumya's husband transferred to Agra. In the meantime, he intends on confessing to Soumya about his love for her. Will she react in a way that he wants her to?
Gaurav Sharma is an Indian writer and the author of Love @ Air Force.
Let me tell you first that I'm not a big reader and the pace of reading is also not worth mentioning. But I finished Love@Air Force within three straight days. I think it's self explanatory how the book kept me hooked. For finishing a book so fast (in my case it's really incredible), I too deserve a Padmshree or something.
Imagine a lazy afternoon and you just don't feel like doing anything. Then you scan through your whole book collection to find something refreshing and different. Well that is when you would need a book called Love @ Air Force by Gaurav Arora. I decided to read a romantic novel after a very long time and by the time I was done with this book I was smiling. People who know me would know what this means because a romance novel making me smile is a rare phenomenon. Why? Well this is how.


I do not know the guy personally, except as being a well-loved governor of Sultan Kudarat based on the stories that I have heard. But two incidents that I personally encountered confirmed the stories about his benevolence and fatherly character.
During the Kalimudan Festival 2017, I attended the Rural Health Workers' Day at the Capitol Gym after missing the Children's Day, the day before. I needed to have something to blog about the festival that I have missed for several years. I took photos of the different groups that took turns in showing their patiently-rehearsed numbers at the center of the basketball court. On the stage was the presidential table where officials including the honorable Pax Mangudadatu were seated. Later, I sat two paces away from him and had a chance to observe him.
When lunch was served, he did not touch his food while the rest were enjoying theirs. He was looking at the Rural Workers from the different municipalities of the province, and who were occupying the bleachers and it dawned on me that he was also observing the Jollibee reps who were distributing packed lunches. After awhile, he stood up and took the microphone through which he asked the Jollibee reps to say, "please, pakibigyan ang lahat ng mga tao ng pagkain… at baka pwedeng bilisan lang…". He did not return to his seat, until everybody had their lunch in styro box.
Just recently, I dropped by his office but found him surrounded with staff and visitors. His secretary made take a seat not far from him, so that we could immediately talk after the last staff with documents for signature would have left. What caught my attention was his softly- spoken remark to a staff who explained to him about a project that was intended for Muslims. He said, "ayaw ko ng ganyan….gusto ko para sa Christians at Muslims….hindi lang Muslims". The staff withdrew the documents. When he noticed me, he smiled and shook my hands and before he stood up for a meeting in another room, we had a comparably lengthy talk.
For those who are not familiar with the province of Sultan Kudarat, Muslims and Christians inhabit its lowlands and the highlands are by the Lumads. The province used to be part of North Cotabato when the original Cotabato Province was divided into two – North and South. Later, North Cotabato was further divided resulting to the creation of Sultan Kudarat and Maguindanao. Isulan is the capital town of Sultan Kudarat.

Mahahalata ang taong makasarili at mapagbigay sa pamamagitan ng isang halimbawang sumusunod: ….sa hapag-kainan, ang pinipiling saging ng makasarili ay ang may pinakamagandang balat at malaki; ang mapagbigay naman ay pinipili ang maliit at may halos nangingitim nang balat dahil nanghihinayang siya kung tuluyang mabulok. Kung piniritong isda o manok ang ulam, ang pinipili ng makasarili ay ang pinakamalaki; ang mapagbigay ay hindi namimili.
Walang masama sa pagpili ng pinakamagandang bagay kung ito ay iyong binili. Subalit kung nakalatag sa harap ng isang pamilya kung saan ay kasama ang magulang at mga kapatid, dapat ay kailangang maging mapagbigay lalo na sa magulang at nakababatang kapatid. Kadalasan, ang mga nakatatanda pang mga kapatid ang nag-aagawan ng pinakamaganda habang nakatunganga ang mga nakababatang kapatid at magulang.
Ang pagkamakasarili ay nagbibigay-buhay sa kasabihan sa Ingles na, "what are we in power for"…na nagpapairal ng lakas laban sa mahihina. Nangyayari yan sa lahat ng sitwasyon, sa loob man ng tahanan o sa komunidad na maliit hanggang sa kabuuhan ng isang bansa. Dahil diyan ay may korapsyon sa mga pamahalaan at sa loob ng ILANG tahanan ay may magkakapatid na palaging nag-aaway.
Sa mga pamilyang mayayaman, ang pagkamakasarili din ang dahilan ng awayan ng magkakapatid dahil sa mga minana mula sa mga namayapang magulang.
Many people who have been reading my blogs are wondering why I am doing it…worse, some even presume that I am being paid for such emotionally tedious undertaking. Plainly and simply, I tell them that it is my advocacy. I hate to use such word, but I might cause them to raise their eyebrows if I tell them, it is my hobby. I am serious in what I am doing and it is not just for fun. I am not being paid but some viewers of my blogs send help for the subject personalities whom I write about, and which are handled with much care. For this endeavor, I am taking so much risk as my security is also at stake in view of my blogs on corruption.
I always ask myself that if I will not share with others what I perceive and experience "along the way", who will do it? If I have to be brutally frank, I dare say that many people are numb, naïve, blind, deaf, etc. to what are happening around us. One viewer even had the temerity to send me the message, "you think you are a great writer, huh!". He is not an fb friend and most hurting is that he is also a Filipino. I just presumed that he is a friend of a politician whom I have been jabbing with my posts, which being "public" are open to all internet browsers. As an information, I have four other blog sites aside from facebook. My first facebook page has even been hacked many months back so I can no longer open it, forcing me to create another one with my photo on it. Unfortunately, many friends still use the hacked fb despite the notices that I have posted.
I identify with people whom I blog as I had my own struggles to be able to finish my studies, having been orphaned at a young age. Growing up, I observed the corrupt practices in the government which have been deeply impressed in my mind. I observed so much arrogance of some supposedly "shepherds" of the various churches. Having gone around the country, I saw poverty in its various levels and perceived its ugly faces drawn on my impoverished countrymen. I would like to let the world know about the benevolence of unsung heroes in our midst. Also, let others know, Filipinos and foreigners that the country is a cluster of islands worth discovering for their unique and varying splendor. I would also like to serve as other people's conscience and mirror. Most of all God gifted me with the ability to write and I know that He did not give it to me to be kept selfishly, but with a purpose. Those are the reasons why I blog.
What give me the drive to go on are the inspiration and encouragement from those who are kind enough to appreciate what I am doing aside from enhancing what I share with their comments and rectifications on what they think should be improved. I am also encouraged to go on if what I share could successfully elicit relevant comments, especially, about blogged people whose characters are worthy of emulation, not just appreciation. I believe that I am just doing my share of what should be done as intended by God. I am not a doctor, nor a professor, nor a pastor, nor a cook, nor a policeman, nor a businessman, etc….but I have a purpose, too, in this world and that is….as a simple writer.
I always imagine that the world is like a jigsaw puzzle composed of parts with various shapes that snugly fit together. While others could be triangle, circle, square…I could be a rectangle….that is I, as a blogger, and with my own shape, I am trying my best to neatly fit into this world. By the way, I need prayers, too, to keep me keep me and my advocacy alive, at least even for just a little longer.
Pati tinik ng dahong mariang sumusugat sa ating talampakan.
Di kaya'y mangingipuspos at sasalampak na lamang sa daan.
Bigyan din ng malinaw na pag-iisip at katawang malakas.
Kaya't sa aklat ng ating kasaysayan siya'y naitala.
Na wala namang pag-atubili at matatag niyang hinarap.
Siya ay makakatamo ng pinapangarap na kasaganaan.
Ipinasa-Diyos na lamang, magiging bunga ng kapangahasan.
At katulad ni Elmer, pagtulong sa kapwa ang sinusunod na adhikain.
Kaya napasigla niya ang dati'y matamlay na kapaligiran.
Upang makibahagi sa kagalingan ng kanyang pagturo.
Mula sa mga estudyanteng binigyan niya ng pag-asa ang mga hinaharap.
Dahil alam niyang sa dulo nito'y mayroong walang hanggang kapayapaan.
The tag of Tacurong City, "Limpyo Tacurong", means "Clean Tacurong". This is an offshoot of the Resolution 021-6th SP, Series of 2014 that created the "LIMPYO KALOG" PROGRAM primarily authored by Hon. Psyche Sucaldito, with co-authors: Hons. Joselito L. Cajandig, Benjamin P. Fajardo, Jr., Welson U. Ferrer, Cirilo Y. Flores, Rodrigo P. Jamorabon, Ariel Ferdinand M. de la Cruz, Jose Remos P. Segura, and Paulino R. Ledda . The resolution was necessitated by the onset of dengue fever during the time, making the cleaning of canals/waterways and street potholes with stagnated water as targets. The resolution also called for the participation of residents and stall owners in the market and whose trades required water, such as fish and meat vendors, carinderias and beauty salons. The ordinance enjoined practically, all Tacurongnons to keep their premises generally clean, hence, also required the cutting of grasses that mosquitoes use as breeding grounds during the rainy season.
When I visited the city lately, particularly, the wet market, I was impressed by the sight of a buko juice vendor sweeping the area around his pushcart and table for the plastic tumblers and juice jar. He also neatly stacked empty green buko shells and their trimmings inside the pushcart. Beside him during the time was also an ambulant fish ball vendor who was picking up barbecue sticks and plastic tumblers that he deposited in a garbage bag positioned not far from his cart.
When I entered the wet market, I was equally impressed by the generally clean fish and meat sections, and was further surprised because even the stalls for the fresh fish such as mudfish, catfish, tilapia, and gourami, did not give out a foul smell! The floor was of course, wet but not "flooded" with water from the concrete stalls, as the latter were constantly wiped by the vendors.
What I observed were manifestations that the "LIMPYO KALOG" has been consistently implemented. A "bonus" for the shoppers is the utmost courtesy of the public market personnel such as, gate overseers and the public toilet attendants. The city administration is also very humane as regards the collection of the daily local market tax imposed on vendors. I found out that the "arkabala" that the vendors pay is very affordable at 5 to 10 pesos. The incumbent mayor, Lina Montilla clearly understands the situation of the small business folks who try to make both ends meet in order to survive. In this regard, one can find old women selling wild vegetables such "kulitis" (local spinach), kangkong, lupô, and small snails, that they gather from rice fields, or children selling banana blossoms, the proceeds from which may not even be enough to buy rice that could feed a family of four for two days…yet, they persist in doing their honorable trade rather than beg.
The city is not rich compared to her contemporaries. It is for this reason that much-desired projects take some time to be realized. But, what is important at the moment, though, is the peaceful co-existence of the Muslims and Christians, be they neighbors or vendors. The city has even taken an extra step that gave her a compassionate image – by welcoming tricycle drivers from the neighboring towns of Quirino, Buluan, Lambayong, Tantangan, and Isulan. This is the reason, perhaps, why hospitals, clinics, barber shops, restaurants, groceries, and beauty parlors pockmark the length of avenues and the public market, as they also serve the residents of the mentioned towns that surround the city. All are manifestations of "goodwill" for which the city has been known for…or simply put, the city of Tacurong is not selfish…or shall we call it, economic strategy?
The influx of shoppers from neighboring towns could be observed during market days such as Wednesday and Saturday during which all alleys of the market are filled with farm produce from as far as Esperanza, Bagumbayan, Isulan, Lambayong, Buluan, Quirino, New Iloilo and Tantangan, and marine products from General Santos City, Davao, and Zamboanga. The air is filled with intermingling of dialects such as Hiligaynon, Cebuano, Ilocano, Maranao, Iranun, Maguindanaoan, and of course, Tagalog. Haggling is encouraged by vendors themselves, as most of them had to dispose of their wares at noon time. Interestingly, prevalent is the use of "'gâ", the contracted form of "palanggâ" or "pangga" which in Tagalog means, "mahal", and in English, "love". When one haggles in the market, he or she says, "pila ni 'gâ ?" (love, how much is this?)… or if one asks a friend if he or she has taken her meal, the question is, "nakakaon ka na, 'ga?"the word is used with honest brotherly and sisterly connotation, without even a faint trace of carnal desire.
Tacurong City's strategic location at the crossroads of South Cotabato, North Cotabato/Davao, and Maguindanao, has not just made her as some sort of the nucleus of the region's commerce, but has also given her an impression as the COSMOPOLITAN CITY OF SOUTHERN MINDANAO.

"Mistress America" and The Week in Reviews
[I review the new movie "Mistress America" and DVDs "Iris" and "The Congress." The Book of the Week is "Stir: My Broken Brain and the Meals that Brought Me Home." I also bring you up to date on "My 1001 Movies I Must See Before I Die Project" with the 1926 film "The Adventures of Prince Achmed," credited as being the very first full-length animated film.]
Mistress America
A lonely college freshman's life is changed when she meets her lively and so sophisticated 30-year-old soon-to-be sister-by-marriage.
Tracy (Lola Kirke) is a young freshman at Barnard College in New York City. She has a crabby roommate, is bored with her classes and just isn't fitting in. She wants to be a writer and applies for membership in the Mobius Society, an exclusive literary club, but doesn't get in. Her mother is going to marry a guy she met on the Internet, so encourages Tracy to get in touch with his daughter, Brooke (Greta Gerwig), who also lives in NYC. After all, they are going to be "sisters." Tracy calls Brooke and they meet in Times Square, because, strangely, that's where Brooke lives (Who actually lives in Times Square)?
Maybe I shouldn't say "strangely," because Brooke herself is rather strange.
She is a 30-something Millennial who talks constantly, has done and thought of everything (according to her) and is a sort of "Holly Golightly" and Tracy is immediately enamored of her and the things she says, e.g. "He's the kind of person I hate but I'm in love with him" or "I'll probably end up doing something depressing but young."
Do you remember being young and meeting someone older whose life seemed so much more exciting than yours? It's like that.
Brooke's vibrancy and fun stimulates Tracy to write using Brooke as her subject. But as what happens in life, our bubbles are burst. Brooke has hundreds of ideas and seems to have life by the tail, but it eventually becomes clear that she can't seem to make anything happen for herself.
Brooke "adopts" Tracy and introduces her to her friends and her life. Tracy gets caught in the adventure and fun that is Brooke, not realizing at first that Brooke is all smoke and no fire. Brooke has rapid-fire ideas such as creating a superhero ("Mistress America," hence the film's title), T-shirts and a restaurant.
However, despite also running a spin class, Brooke's focus becomes the restaurant that she plans to open with her boyfriend, Stavros (who is never seen). The restaurant will be called "Mom's" and it won't just be a restaurant but also a hair salon and an art gallery. However, when the money for that venture falls through, Brooke must scramble to find the money and decides, with the help of a psychic, that she needs to find her old friend, Mamie-Clare (Heather Lind), who stole her boyfriend, Dylan (Michael Chernus), and her T-shirt idea and get her and Dylan to cough up the money. Brooke, Tracy, and two of Tracy's friends travel to ritzy Greenwich, Connecticut to get their help.
And that's where the film fell apart for me.
Noah Baumbach has written and directed some great films: "The Squid and the Whale" "While We're Young" and "Margot at the Wedding" but unfortunately this film isn't one of the greats.
Greta Gerwig is an indy-darling who has collaborated with Baumbach before with "Frances Ha," where Gerwig played another quirky character, but a sweet one. She is clearly Baumbach's muse. I am a huge fan of her unconventional looks and style, but here her Brooke character is so quirky as to be annoying. I think we are supposed to feel that she is a charming force of nature, living a party girl life in Manhattan, vibrant and fun, but she comes off as frantic and grates after awhile. That is not to say that Gerwig doesn't put in a great performance. She does. She plays Brooke exactly as Baumbach and she created her. The character just got to be too much.
Gerwig and Baumbach seem to like to create edgy characters and make statements about the narcissism of hipster Millennials, which Baumbach did to great effect in "While We're Young," but making characters annoying to show how annoying they are is...well, it's just annoying. Everyone in this film talks at each other and over each other, but never to each other, especially Brooke who yacks constantly but rarely connects with anyone. That's probably the point they are trying to make but it's just...annoying.
Newcomer Lola Kirke plays Tracy and with her charming lisp is very good and the best thing about this movie, but she turns out to not be a particularly nice person either as the story she writes about Brooke turns out to not be a flattering one. But perhaps her unflattering story is the wake-up call Brooke needs to actually make a real life for herself. Maybe these "Holly Golightly" types need a wake up call from time to time.
Baumbach often uses the theme of writers and writing in his films, and Baumbach and Gerwig make an interesting statement about using your friends and loved ones for your fictional fodder.
But all of that is lost when the movie turns into a farce.
The film is supposed to be a screwball comedy and has some comic moments, but falls into farce when Brooke confronts her old, rich and not very nice friend, Mamie-Claire and her husband, Dylan, at their fancy home in Greenwich. It reminded me "Noises Off," as character after character kept leaving and showing up. All it lacked was the slamming doors. I never liked "Noises Off."
I am for any film that shows strong female relationships and great parts for women, but I just couldn't get over how annoying everyone was. I liked Gerwig as Frances ("Frances Ha"). As Brooke, not so much. I just didn't care about any of these people.
Rosy the Reviewer says...and interesting premise that is ultimately disappointing.

(And Some You Will Be Glad You Did)
A documentary about the fashion icon Iris Apfel.
If you don't know who Iris Apfel is, you need to. And here is your chance.
One of the last films directed by legendary documentarian Albert Maysles ("Grey Gardens"), this documentary about fashion icon and collector, Iris Apfel, is wonderful. If you are into fashion but have never heard of Iris, you are really missing something. She is an artist and uses clothing and accessories to create a vision.
Oh, and did I say she is 94 and still going strong?
Married for 67 years to her husband Carl (he turned 100 during the making of this film), they launched Old World Weavers in 1950, a company specializing in reproductions of 16th, 17th and 18th century fabrics and ran it together until 1992. Iris was also an interior designer and businesswoman who did restoration work on great houses, most notably the White House. But it was her jewelry, her fashion style and signature glasses that brought her fame. Forget the old adage, less is more. For Iris, it's more, more and more.
She is also opinionated and known for her bon mots:
When talking about her fashion style and how she puts her outfits together:
"I like to improvise. I like to do things as if I am playing jazz."
When Albert Maysles died this year at the age of 88, we lost a phenomenal filmmaker. Maysles showed his documentary filmmaking power with "Gimme Shelter" ( with his brother David) back in 1970 and later by giving us a look into the shocking lives of Big Edie and Little Edie Beale in "Grey Gardens.
Here again his signature style is evident - no narration but rather letting the subject tell her own story and letting the story unfold on its own.
"I don't have any rules because I would only be breaking them."
"The best thing was getting dressed for the party...[better than going to the party]."
"Everything I have I go out and find. It's not easy."
"You have to pay for being stylish."
"Color can raise the dead."
"I could never be a friend with someone who wasn't curious and didn't have a sense of humor."
She sees her shopping for original and wonderful pieces as her job. I totally get it. I wish my Hubby got it when he sees our credit card bill. But after seeing this film, I don't feel so bad about my modest three closets of clothes and my 75 jackets. Like Iris, I am a collector.
But what really resonates about this film is Iris's vibrancy and joy in her items and not little her fame at the ripe old age of 94. She has been photographed by Bruce Weber, who speaks fondly of Iris in the film, and she has appeared in many fashion magazines. The Met did a show of her items and it was a phenomenal success. Bergdorf's has done windows showing some of her collection and MAC Cosmetics has featured her.
"Life is grey and dull so you might as well have a little fun and amuse people."
"I don't happen to like pretty. Most of the world is not with me but I don't care. If you are not pretty, you need to develop style. Pretty fades. If you want to be attractive in old age, develop style."
I'm with you, Iris!
Rosy the Reviewer says...I want to be her! This is a joyful look at a woman who loves life and if you are into fashion, you must know who she is.
The Congress (2013)
An aging actress accepts one last job that has consequences she can't foresee.
Robin Wright plays herself as an aging actress who has made bad choices and whose career is not doing well. When she is approached by Miramount Studios to purchase her likeness to do with whatever they want - they want her to sign away her likeness so they can "sample" her - she must make a huge decision about her career. They will scan her likeness and she will remain forever "young" in films, advertisements, etc.
They will pay her well but the downside (and there is always a downside, right?) is that she can never act again. She initially turns the offer down, but she is living near the airport in a trailer with a son with some unspecified syndrome that seems to have something to do with an obsession with airplanes (he knows every airplane's schedule) and flying kites, which sometimes get onto the flight paths causing all kinds of trouble.
The Miramount studio head (Danny Huston) continues to work on her. Why wouldn't you do it? You would still be famous, you would never age and you wouldn't actually have to work anymore. "We will keep you 34 forever." Since she was 47 when this film was made, that would be a miracle.
She decides to do it so she will have the money to treat her son's medical condition. She cites in her contract what her image can't do - no porn, no scifi, which is kind of funny and ironic here since this film is scifi.
Fast forward 20 years to 2030. Robin is now 64 and the distinguished guest of the Futurist Congress at Abrahama. She is told that she will be entering an animated site and must take an ampule and everything literally becomes animated - psychedelically so.
And this is where this movie lost me.
This dramedy is a satire on the movie business and what they would do if they could. Why deal with temperamental actors when you can scan their images and do what you want with them? It also explores the obsolescence of movies, our fascination and objectification of celebrities, the egos of actors and asks - What is reality? This also seems to be a parody of Wright's career, which is quite brave considering she is playing an "aging" actress.
Rosy the Reviewer says...an interesting concept exploring some interesting ideas that worked well for the first half but got lost in the second half...or maybe I just should have smoked something first.
***My 1001 Movies I Must See Before I Die Project***

The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1926)
Prince Achmed joins forces with Aladdin and the Witch of the Fiery Mountains to save a beautiful princess from an evil magician in this animated retelling of stories from The Arabian Nights.
German animator Lotte Reiniger produced this silent film in 1926 and it is considered by many to be the very first full-length animated film. Only 67 minutes long, it tells the story of Prince Achmed who embarks on a series of adventures when he acquires a flying horse. He falls in love with a princess on the island of Wak-Wak but an evil magician kidnaps her and Achmed must join forces with the Witch of the Fiery Mountains and Aladdin to get her back.
Through a series of silhouettes that act as shadow puppets, the story unfolds with wonderful music and artistry that creates a ballet of animation that is enthralling and mesmerizing.
Why it's a Must See: "Reininger's use of silhouette is as magical as her world of sorcerers, genies, and fairies. Produced over an ardulous three years, the film resulted in the invention of many new techniques, including a multiplane animation stand, which gives the illusion of depth to images. It is a method whose creation is often mistakenly attributed to Walt Disney...[This film] is, in every way, a pioneering work whose timelessness lies in its skill and achievement."
---"1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die"
Rosy the Reviewer says...it goes without saying that film students and film enthusiasts should see this film, but older children might also enjoy the experience, though there are some scary parts.
***Book of the Week***
Stir: My Broken Brain and the Meals That Brought Me Home by Jessica Fechtor (2015)
Jessica Fechtor was only 28, a Harvard graduate and happily married when she was felled by a brain aneurysm. Cooking food helped her on the road to recovery.
First the stories plus recipes craze was "let's buy an old wreck of a house in Tuscany and fix it up" - WITH recipes. Then it was "I am going to travel the world," -- and oh yes, WITH recipes.
Now the trend is the healing power of food and cooking.
I am obviously on a food as healer kick if you read my blog last Friday where I reviewed "Life From Scratch: A Memoir of Food, Family and Forgiveness" by Sasha Martin.
So I thought it would be fun to compare this book to that one. However, here we are not dealing with a sad, disrupted childhood as in Martin's book, but rather a medical condition.
Fechtor was on a treadmill at conference center when she had the brain aneurysm that eventually left her with no sense of smell and blind in one eye. As she slowly healed, she found herself again in cooking.
"What a click in my head, and a moving belt, and a headache that knocked me down might have to do with butter, and flour, and eggs at room temp, and hunger, and love, and a kitchen with something to say, I couldn't have known that day. How a detour could become it's own path, I would never have believed."
The book starts with the aneurysm and then Fechtor alternates chapters flashing back to meeting her husband and getting married and the memories of food in her life. The theme throughout is the healing power of food as she shares 27 recipes that helped her find her way.
"Food has powers. It picks us up from our lonely corners and sits us back down, together. It pulls us out of ourselves, to our kitchen, to the table, to the diner down the block. At the same time, it draws us inward. Food is the keeper of our memories, connecting us with our pasts and with our people."
She connected with me. Amazing what we have in common, me a sixty-something and she, a thirty-something. We both like cottage cheese on our baked potatoes, we both live(d) in Seattle; we both make grocery lists by each department in the store and we both don't believe things happen for a reason.
"Everything happens for a reason? I don't see it that way at all. To me, only the first part is clear: Everything happens. Then other things happen, and other things still. Our of each of these moments, we make something. Any number of somethings, in fact.
What comes of our own actions becomes the 'reason.' It is no predestined thing. We may arrive where we are by way of a specific path -- we can take just one at a time -- but it's never the only one that could have led to our destination...There are infinite possible versions of our lives. Meaning is not what happens, but what we do with what happens when it does."
This is Fector's first book and like Sasha Martin in "Life from Scratch (that I reviewed last Friday)," Fechtor started a food blog to help her heal and deal with her illness. She created "Sweet Amandine."
When she was in the kitchen, she was able to test herself physically..."gauging the strength of my body with each recipe...it seemed whenever I'd enter the kitchen, I'd discover a story, one that would nudge me over to something more real and more permanent about my life than illness." Then she would sit down and write, struggling to get her brain to do what she wanted it to do but as her "phrases became sentences became paragraphs, I felt like I was flying."
She writes with candor, heart, humor, warmth -- and recipes!
I am definitely going to make her "Crispy Rice and Eggs."
Rosy the Reviewer says...a stunning debut that foodies, people coping with an illness and people who just like to eat, will savor.
