22 For when Herodias’s daughter came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests. And the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you.” 23 And he vowed to her, “Whatever you ask me, I will give you, gup to half of my kingdom.” 24 And she went out and said to her mother, “For what should I ask?” And she said, “The head of John the Baptist.” 25 And she came in immediately with haste to the king and asked, saying, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”

This work is showing three different scenes from the story at once. Salome, in white, dances in the center. The white is an interesting and ironic choice, since her dance was seductive and Herod was twitterpated. The beheading happens off canvas to the left but is placed in the platter. On the right, it is presented to Herodias.

A little veiled Strauss humor:
In the 50's, a major production had a John The Baptist sung by an absolute terror divo/mivo, who was so vain that he stuffed his nostrils and ears with cotton up until the performance began, to protect himself from others' germs. Everybody hated him. In the Aubrey Beardsley stage design, John's severed head is presented on a platter from a well. When the awkward moment was reached, a hand raised the platter, and when the cover was taken off, the fake head had cotton in the nostrils. It cracked up the whole company and they had to ring down the curtain until decorum could be recovered. Posted by: Way, Way Downriver at January 31, 2023 09:43 AM (jYCXf) 65
Lippi is trying to be an Impressionist at this point. H he just didn't know he was foreshadowing! Salome's model is doing a racy dance, at least according to polite society. (Gypsy dancers NOT welcome in Italian renaissance courts.) Herod is definitely checking out her legs.

This looks like Renaissance art. (Check; 1460-1464.) It all seems rather stiffly posed; the people are dressed all in Renaissance Italian fashions. Which was the style for painters then, I guess, to use the trappings of the present even when painting events from the far past.
Salome is either just beginning her dance, or Lippi just didn't want to paint a nearly nude female figure (or was not allowed to, maybe).

It also looks like Lippi changed things in the middle ground left. He seems to have erased or painted over a group that is being visited by an angel. John's mourning followers? The work looks cleaned so I wonder if the cleaning revealed the removed figures. Wouldn't be the first time that happened when cleaning a fresco.

The thing was, John the Baptist was not charged or tried for an offense that could result in his death. Herod had no justification to execute him other than his lust for his stepdaughter and Salome's ability to bait him using his pride. Herod was a coward.

It's interesting that the role of Salome seems to be connected with older women trying to connect with their youth.
There's the real world example of the 1923 silent film where Saloime was played by Alla Nazimova when she was 44 years old. And, of course, there's the example of Gloria Swanson's character planning on a movie comeback by getting herself in a version of the story (that she brings William Holden on to rewrite) in Sunset Blvd. It was always my understanding that Salome was supposed to be in her teens.

It was always my understanding that Salome was supposed to be in her teens.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, watching some Best Pictures at January 31, 2023 *** Sort of like Sarah Michelle Gellar in the Dangerous Liaisons movie, I guess? The script of Romeo and Juliet implies, or maybe actually says, that Juliet is a teenage girl. Yet the role is usually only attempted by older actresses with experience and skill behind them -- actresses technically too old to play Juliet as written.

Herod Antipas divorced his Nabataean wife, the daughter of Aretas IV, king of the desert kingdom adjoining his own, to marry Herodias, formerly the wife of his half brother. The marriage offended his former father-in-law and alienated his Jewish subjects.
Herod also invented antipasta, but the dish known as Herod Antipasta was eclipsed by the ever-popular Caesar Salad as a result of Roman hegemony. Posted by: Adirondack Patriot at January 31, 2023 09:54 AM (lf83v) 114

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at January 31, 2023 09:54 AM (J2vNu) ======== I think Juliet is supposed to be about 14, and Romeo a bit older, maybe 16.

I don't remember seeing this discussed previously, but the rabid left, though incredibly stupid, have long memories. We'll be hearing about this BS for the next 30+ years...
A new documentary about Brett Kavanaugh the rapist! The film’s existence was a surprise, with the Sundance festival only revealing it on opening night. If there’s a smoking gun in Liman’s film, it’s a voice message left on the FBI tip line from Max Stier, the president and CEO of the Partnership for Public Service, who attended Yale with Kavanagh and Ramirez. In the previously unheard recording, Stier says classmates told him not just that Kavanaugh stuck his penis in Ramirez’s face, but that afterward, Kavanaugh went to the bathroom to make himself erect before allegedly returning to assault her again, hoping to amuse an audience of mutual friends. In the film, Ramirez says she’d suppressed the memory so deeply she couldn’t recall this second incident, even when Farrow explicitly asked her about it.

It's interesting that the role of Salome seems to be connected with older women trying to connect with their youth. ----- Well, the story lends itself to that. Herodias was an aging whore, furious at JtB for condemning her gross marriage toHunter Herod Antipas. But she used her young daughter's feminine wiles, not her own, to put that head on that platter. Probable because Herod had coke-dick and couldn't get it up for an old lady like her anymore. ======== The comparison here between the Herodian dynasty and the Bidens is inevitable and fairly accurate.

Well, the story lends itself to that. Herodias was an aging whore, furious at JtB for condemning her gross marriage toHunter Herod Antipas. But she used her young daughter's feminine wiles, not her own, to put that head on that platter. Probable because Herod had coke-dick and couldn't get it up for an old lady like her anymore.

115 112 The script of Romeo and Juliet implies, or maybe actually says, that Juliet is a teenage girl. Yet the role is usually only attempted by older actresses with experience and skill behind them -- actresses technically too old to play Juliet as written.

Posted by: Way, Way Downriver at January 31, 2023 10:15 AM (jYCXf) ======== MGM's executives saw the 8 hour cut, but it was never intended for actual distribution. von Stroheim's plan was, apparently, to cut it down to about 5-6 hours and release it in two parts where people came two nights in a row to the theater. Scoff at the idea, but this was the mid-20s and feature films were only about 10 years old. No one really knew the limits of a feature film, and von Stroheim was pushing boundaries that might have worked (probably not). Executives worked with him until he became unreasonable in their eyes, and they cut it down to 2. There's a reconstructed cut that's 4 hours long, but the extra two hours are all built off of still images of cut scenes that von Stroheim had kept for decades.

I do believe it was the first English-language version to use teens for the leads, and play up the runaway feelings involved. I've told my friends that the play is similar to Shakespeare's comedies of manners for the first half of the story. It's not until Romeo and his pals run into Tybalt and the feud personified takes the stage that it becomes a tragedy, and the feelings involved race things along to the climax.

Star Wars may rebound IF they go with a script written in the same vein as the first movie, declare Episodes VII - IX do not exist, and feed Rian Johnson and Kathleen Kennedy to the Saarlac.

Yeah, funny how people get uncomfortable when we bring the Scriptures into the present day instead of leaving them in the never-never land of Sunday School and disassociated readings in service. Posted by: exdem13 at January 31, 2023 10:14 AM (W+kMI) True - but I *was* being facetious. If you had me come in to explain Bible stories, especially OT ones, every parent would yank their kids out of the school within a week. ===== I really liked a lot of the OT narrative stories as a kid because of the action, miracles, underdog heroes wining with the help of The Man Upstairs, and clearly depicted morals which a child could follow. Then as an adult I came back to them with a renewed understanding and appreciation that human behavior hasn't changed a bit in three millennia. And then realized that a lot of people in D.C. wouldn't survive a comparison to Ahab & Jezebel regarding Naboth's Vineyard. Posted by: exdem13 at January 31, 2023 10:29 AM (W+kMI) 290

Posted by: Bulgaroctonus at January 31, 2023 10:27 AM (pBUtp) ======== Queen Kelly. Von Stroheim had Swanson's costar spit tobacco juice on her during a take. Von Stroheim thought it was hilarious. Swanson did not. As producer, she fired Stroheim pretty much on the spot, hired another director to film a quick ending that cut out about half an hour of footage, and called it a day.

If you choose to drink, be sure to familiarize yourself with how drink names can differ between your area and Ireland. Do not under any circumstances order an "Irish Car Bomb" drink when in Ireland."

My buddy once ordered an Irish Car Bomb in a little pub in Ireland... Described it to the bartender and all, and he even started to make it for him... but the old guy sitting next to him reached over and grabbed his hand before he could drop the shot glass, and said, "We don't muck about with our Guinness, boyo". No mention of the Troubles... it was the very offense to the beverage to which umbrage was taken!

That was in the employee manual for employees visiting Ireland. It was along the lines of: "you will probably be invited to a pub or other outing. You are not required to drink at company events. If you choose to drink, be sure to familiarize yourself with how drink names can differ between your area and Ireland. Do not under any circumstances order an "Irish Car Bomb" drink when in Ireland."
I am not kidding. They called it out specifically. ----- A consulting gig in '98 required a trip to downtown Detroit for 2 weeks. When I told co-workers where I was going, they SERIOUSLY advised me to make sure that our travel department reserved me an American rental car. I thought they were joking, but they said you risk getting your car trashed there if it's foreign, and especially if Japanese. [Speaking of Irish singer-songwriters: a co-worker when we were there wanted to see a live concert by a band I'd heard of but didn't know -- Shane McGowan and The Pogues. Mosh pit. Insane. Concert started two hours late because McGowan was passed out drunk on the bus. And I updated my nic to his great song just last night after being reminded of it from The Wire.] Posted by: ShainS -- I'm a Freeborn Man of the USA at January 31, 2023 10:46 AM (ZDsBk) 375

I answered, "It's walking distance to your offices, so I won't have to rent a car." He said, "Sort of. It's walking distance if you live through it. Stay further out, rent a car and park in our secure lot. Don't walk through this part of town." I appreciated the warning, and changed my reservation.

Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks, Not a Real Simulation at January 31, 2023 10:49 AM (FVME7) ++++ So, they do it in simulation until they determine a good candidate for real testing, at which time they engage in gain-of-function. And this is the defense? Or am I misreading the statement? Because this sounds a lot like, "we use supercomputers to simulate atomic explosions so we can minimize the number of nukes we actually have to set off." Fair enough, and probably a good idea to do they theoretical work in simulation - but it doesn't mean "we don't set off nukes."

Or it's spin to avoid saying, "he hired whores and put them on payroll." Unfortunately, I can't say which is more likely: rapey Biden or whore-mongering Biden.
Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at January 31, 2023 10:54 AM (t0OGg) ++++ Nope. Looks like rapey Biden from the evidence in the article: I will bake {sic} up for back pay.

422 Nope; MP4 and TJM are the experts on silent film and on anecdotes about that time period. I'm the guy for the '50s (somewhat) to the '80s, and occasionally about stuff from later times.
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at January 31, 2023 10:56 AM (J2vNu) ========== I just know the von Stroheim stuff because I just went through his directed work, and even then it's a bit thin. I've read very little about the period, so behind the scenes stuff is scant. My knowledge is more generalized across the whole century. I also have serious deficiencies in terms of knowledge of actors. I largely don't care about them, so I don't pursue any information on them.

Pfcizer says . . .
Most of this work is conducted using computer simulations or mutations of the main protease – a non-infectious part of the virus. In a limited number of cases when a full virus does not contain any known gain of function mutations, such virus may be engineered to enable the assessment of antiviral activity in cells. -- A lady in Britain asked the right questions in the right order and made them admit that the vaccine was created entirely by computer simulation with no input from an isolated example from the wild.

409 the Propaganda Press ignores Hunter's many felonies, the guns, drugs, and all the corruption, but the Brit press refuses to ignore the sex. Daily Mail is on the case.
Among all the others ,Hunter had affairs with his sister in law, her sister, his niece, random strippers, but now his laptop yields up evidence he forced four employees to have sex with him, which he filmed of course. https://tinyurl.com/mry5e89z ======= Man, Hunter is an antagonist like a grown-up version of the standard elitist asshole in an anime. "I can do whatever I want at school/work/military post because my Dad is like, really super-important and super-connected. So I'm gonna slap this doe-eyed girl around and do her everywhere, because I can. And you can't stop me, hero!" Posted by: exdem13 at January 31, 2023 11:01 AM (W+kMI) 442

Jeez. I had dilaudid and fentanyl with the kidney stone that put me into the hospital. Absolutely no pain. Not even a sensation of a kidney stone. Felt like that for the better part of 48 hours. Did not like it.
Posted by: Aetius451AD Gall bladder went south around 9:30 one night. By the time we got to the emergency room, it was full blown pain. 2 shots or morphine later and it dropping the pain from a 10 to a 9.5. A shot of dilaudid and boom. No pain at wall And I was able to sleep some. Gall bladder came out the next morning. Posted by: rickb223 at January 31, 2023 11:06 AM (ZVVGW) 449
