What's Killing You?

Hotsauce84 — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 06:06:45 +0000

Upcoming Movie thread b/w Gamble's "Bring Me Down" track got me all twisted up in the game.A couple years ago I met a young lady by the name of T*resa W*lker. She was a friend and neighbor of J*nelle (my sneaker hookup) and they came through my club on girls' night out. During my break, I was introduced to Teresa. She was beautiful. Not club-sexy or shit like that, she just had a very stunning face. Porcelain skin, wide, friendly eyes and very short hair that curled against her forehead like a flapper girl from the '20's. She looked exactly like Betty Boop without the big ol' head. We talked for a bit and I don't even remember how it came to be, but we discovered that we were in the same small ass preschool class together. It's a trip, we both remembered everybody else in that class, but had no recollection of each other. She was funny and witty and I was a flirt so we exchanged numbers and started hanging out. It was nothing serious, just dinner and a movie, or we'd get a pizza and rent movies. Neither of us had any serious expectations other than chillin'.She worked at the University Of Arizona and we used to crack each other up via email every day. I remember one day she emailed me super excited 'cause she had read that Steve Martin and Queen Latifah - 2 of her favorite people EVER - were coming out with a movie. A month later, I got ahold of some screening passes to Bringin' Down The House and surprised her with them. We walked out of that movie speechless. Shit was beyond horrible. We admitted that we both wanted to walk out of the movie but we were afraid the other was liking it so we dealt with it.A couple weeks later, she told me she couldn't hang out anymore. We both understood the nature of our relationship, but her explanation was a little TOO apologetic. I'm a stubborn motherfucker so I pressed. She had to go away for awhile, she said. She was adamant about keeping her secret but her crypticness irked me and I made it clear that it did. After a couple days she emailed me reluctantly explaining that she had to go away for some hospital business. She was sick and had to undergo some tests. "Where?" I asked. "UMC." This girl was "going away" 2 blocks down from her house but had to live in the hospital for 6-7 months. The tests would be very difficult on her but she promised to call me when she felt up to it.4 months later she called. She was still weak, but feeling a bit better. We talked every week or so and when she was in good spirits I asked - kinda begged - to visit her. She said yes. She was in love with Ben Stiller and had told me about his comedy sketch show that she loved to watch. I had tracked down some dude selling VHS copies of the entire short-lived series on the internet and showed up to the hospital with her early bday present. We stayed up for hours watching the tapes. The nurse let me sleep in the visitor chair in her room.This girl was the sweetest, most angelic person I've ever known. We were never in love with each other, but knowing her made me fall in love with life. She knew what was coming. She was at peace with it and she knew what she had to do to make it easier for herself and, believe it or not, for me. Never once did she let her condition break her spirit, which made it rather odd when, again, she said she couldn't hang out anymore. She said it as she did before - with an apologetic smile - but there was confidence behind it, a strong confidence that shut down my stubbornness and kept me from asking questions. I understood, I had no choice but to understand. We stopped talking, but that didn't stop me from trying. Emails went unanswered. Cellphone was disconnected. Home phone too.A year later, I run into J*nelle. I hug her and my first question is "How's T?" Her look said it all. She spent her final months living with her sister. The doctors did everything they could. There was nothing for her to do but wait patiently.Out of habit, I had sent her a birthday email 2 weeks before, just in case. It went unanswered.I miss you, T*resa. 8/31/74 - 7/3/2006

bassie — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 19:05:37 +0000

Presented by the Goethe-Institut Toronto and Stephen Bulger Gallery @ CAMERA, 1028 Queen Street West, Toronto, 416 530 0011, www.camerabar.ca Film series in 7 nights: MON-WED: Feb 11-13, 2008, 7 pmTUE-WED: Feb 19-20, 2008, 7 pmMON-TUE: Feb 25-26, 2008, 7 pm $5 series membership plus $5 per evening, 18 yrs + German with English subtitles, large screen projections Tickets at the door or for advanced tickets please call the Stephen Bulger Gallery at 416 504 0575 or at [email]info@bulgergallery.com[/email] Mon Feb 11, Double Feature 7pm + 8:45pm : Katzelmacher (with Hanna Schygulla, Lilith Ungerer, Rainer Werner Fassbinder) A Greek guest worker suddenly appears in the lives of a bored group of young people. Through an affair he attracts their envy and jealousy which leads to aggression, violence and xenophobia. The film???s static images portray a stifling, stagnant milieu and a crippled society. 1968, 86 min., b&w Fear Eats the Soul (with Brigitte Mira, El Hedi Ben Salem, Barbara Valentin) Emmi, an older cleaning lady, meets the considerably younger Moroccan guest worker Ali in a bar. When they marry Emmi???s family and neighbours react with a lack of understanding and utter disapproval until they realize that they and the couple can profit from this relationship. Their solidarity overcomes both fear and prejudice, but in the end the pressure is too much for both of them.1973/74, 93 min., colour Tue Feb 12, 7pm: Effie Briest (with Hanna Schygulla, Wolfgang Schenk, Karlheinz B??hm) The young Effi Briest is caught in a loveless marriage to the considerably older Baron von Instetten, who is mainly interested in his career. An encounter with Major Crampas temporarily brings change and passion into her life. Years later the Baron accidentally finds out about the long since ended affair of his wife, which leads to catastrophe. Fassbinder stays true to Theodor Fontane???s novel while creating his own unique cinematic perspectives and imagery. 1972/74, 140 min., b&w Wed Feb 13, 7pm: Martha (with Margit Carstensen, Karlheinz B??hm, Peter Chatel) Martha is in her early thirties when she visits Rome with her father, who collapses and dies on the Spanish Stairs. At the German Embassy she encounters Helmut Salomon, whom she later marries, thus moving from the previously experienced constraints of family control to the confinement of an extra-ordinary marriage. Martha suffers under her husband???s dominance and her isolation from the outside world. Finally, after an accident, she becomes helplessly dependent on a wheelchair. Now her husband has the chance not only to care for her but also to have ultimate power over her every move, a situation which, in an intriguingly ambivalent way, she seems to relish. 1973/74, 116 min., colour Tue Feb 19, 7pm: Satan???s Brew (with Kurt Raab, Margit Carstensen, Helen Vita) A film about identity crisis, about the life and creativity of writer Walter Kranz, who started out as a left wing poet, but since two years has produced not a word of text. After tragically murdering his concubine his creativity begins to flow again. His work turns out to have been plagiarized from that of Stefan George. Kranz ultimately succumbs to the illusion that he himself is Stefan George. One of Fassbinder???s more bitter and despairing works. 1975/76, 112 min., colour Wed Feb 20, 7pm: The Marriage of Maria Braun (with Hanna Schygulla, Klaus L??witsch, Ivan Desny) Germany during the years of reconstruction after World War II. Hermann Braun remains untraceable after the end of the war. Maria, his wife, begins an affair with an American GI named Bill. When Hermann suddenly returns and surprises the couple, Maria kills her lover, and Hermann, who takes the blame upon himself, goes to prison. During that time Maria manages to climb the social ladder wanting desperately to build a new existence for herself and her husband, however she ends up paying a very high price for the choices she has made. 1978, 120 min., colour Mon Feb 25, 7pm: Lili Marleen (with Hanna Schygulla, Giancarlo Giannini, Mel Ferrer) Zurich 1938: In Switzerland German singer ???Wilkie??? falls in love with Jewish composer Robert who is helping refugees escape from Nazi Germany. Robert???s family fears that Wilkie may pose a danger to their underground resistance work and does everything to keep Robert away from this nightclub singer. The outbreak of war makes their relationship still more difficult. In 1941 Wilkie feels she is given the chance of a lifetime: her song ???Lili Marleen??? is played on the radio and loved by every soldier throughout the German Reich. Thanks to her influence she can save Robert from the Gestapo, enabling him to flee back to Switzerland. Despite her public success Wilkie faces a shattered existence in the end. 1980, 120 min., colour Tue Feb 26, Double Feature 7pm + 9pm: Veronika Voss (with Rosel Zech, Hilmar Thate, Cornelia Froboess) Munich 1955: Fassbinder tells a melancholy tale inspired by former UFA star Sybille Schmitz???s life in post-war Germany. Drug-addicted actress Veronika Voss is unable to repeat her earlier big-screen success. Exasperated, she commits suicide while the Pope???s Easter blessing is broadcast in the background. In this film Fassbinder masterfully employs the stylistic devices of the long gone UFA melodrama. 1981, 104 min., b&w Lola (with Barbara Sukowa, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Mario Adorf) Coburg 1957: Building commissioner von Bohm takes office in a provincial town, where he quickly becomes unpopular among members of the corrupt society. Building tycoon Schuckert rules the town and owns the meeting place for local movers and shakers, a brothel named ???Villa Fink???. Star of the brothel is the wonderful Lola. Von Bohm falls in love with her and only realizes later that Schuckert regularly employs her as his mistress. Von Bohm wants to publicly unearth the truth about Schuckert???s shady life. To protect himself Schuckert promises Lola to von Bohm??? 1981, 113 min., colour For more information contact the Goethe-Institut Toronto at 416 593 5257-16, [email]arts1@toronto.goethe.org[/email] or see www.goethe.de/toronto
