Happy Heavenly Birthday to DeShaun Dupree Holton

(October 2, 1973 – April 11, 2006) professionally known as Proof and also known as Big Proof and Dirty Harry.

His first television appearance was in the video for Aaliyah’s “Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number.” It was filmed in his hometown of Detroit, Michigan in November 1994, the black and white visual featured cameos of Proof alongside Bizarre from D12 and Aaliyah’s brother (Rashad).

Holton first rose to national prominence when he formed D12 “The Dirty Dozen” in 1995 with his friends Eminem, Bizarre, Mr. Porter, and a high school friend Eye-Kyu. Shortly after that, Proof recruited two friends, B-Flat & Dirty Ratt, to the group.

Proof released a solo album (Called “Searching for Jerry Garcia” in August 2005) featuring collaborations with 50 Cent, Method Man, Nate Dogg, B-Real of Cypress Hill, T3 of Slum Village, Obie Trice, King Gordy, Eminem and D12. Proof said that he did not produce the record with Shady Records or Aftermath because he wanted to “build his own thing”

Sadly, on April 11, 2006, Proof was shot and killed after a heated argument during a game of billiards at the CCC Club on 8 Mile Road in Detroit.

Come diventare Clint Eastwood: la sua dieta, il suo allenamento

Quando un uomo con la forchetta incontra Clint... --

Come si diventa Clint Eastwood? Niente bacchetta magica, solo dieta e allenamento. A voi la scelta. Si direbbe “ci metto la firma”. Arrivare a 93 anni in piedi e con la testa pensante come quella di Eastwood. Sono privilegi. Parola di Clint (@clinteastwoodfans01) Boomerissimo.it L’aspettativa di vita si allunga, ma a nessuno arride l’idea di arrivarci con qualche malattia che obnubila la mente…

A Reflection on Childhood

Note on the text: I used Quentin Tarantino’s Cinema Speculation as published in 2022 by Harper Collins

This is a great book for cinephiles. I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves films. Quentin’s love for the films he talks about here is contagious (I actually decided to go out and rent some of the films that he mentions here because he made them sound so interesting). 

This book came at an interesting time in my life. I’ve had many discussions with people over the last few years about what books/films are appropriate for kids. When I was a kid I loved books. Books were my first love (I enjoyed watching movies, but my love for them didn’t really come until high school). I was a voracious reader who read everything that I could get my hands on: I read Jane Eyre when I was in 5th grade, Frankenstein in 6th, and had read 10 out of Dickens’ 14 novels by the time I reached high school. I was lucky that my parents never really prevented me from reading whatever I wanted to. The benefit of all that, besides the fact that I was reading great books, was that my mind was able to stretch in ways that it couldn’t have otherwise. Did I understand everything that happened in those books? No, but I understood enough. More than that, I found myself getting a slightly deeper understanding of how the outside world worked. I remember someone asked me once when I was a kid what I loved so much about books. I told him that I loved how books brought me into the minds of other people. How I got to see things from the perspective of other people and learn something about the world that I didn’t know before. 

So when people ask me what books I think are appropriate for children, the first thing I say is that I don’t know. Because as a kid I was allowed to read anything that wanted, I tend to believe that kids should be allowed to read whatever they want to. Kids are more capable of understanding the world around them then we give them credit for, and even if they don’t totally understand something that’s ok too. It’s ok for children to be a little scared, confused, or even a little disturbed by what they’re reading. The world is a crazy, scary, confusing place. In fact I would say allowing kids to encounter some of those things in their literature will turn them into stronger, more capable, more open minded adults. I remember reading Ender’s Game (I was probably in 3rd grade) and being so disturbed at the presence of androids that I threw the book across the room of my daycare and just sat there thinking for like 20 minutes. I remember not only being disturbed at how the androids were being treated, but by their very existence. It had never occurred to me that someone might try to create “a perfect human”, and I remember being horrified at the idea. What would happen to silly, imperfect people like me? Eventually I did get up and continue to read it, but that idea stayed with me for years after that. I never forgot that feeling. All because of a book. 

So reading Quentin’s account of his childhood really struck a chord with me. I’d like to think that he and I would have been great friends. Before talking about the great films he saw in the 70s, Quentin talks about the impact that going to the movies with his mom as a child had on him. Like my parents, she rarely prevented him from seeing whatever movie he wanted to. He talks about how, similar to what I discovered with books, even when he didn’t entirely know what was happening in the movies he was watching, he got it: 

When a child reads an adult book, there’s going to be words that [she or he] doesn’t understand. But depending on the context, and the paragraph surrounding the sentence, sometimes they can figure it out. Same thing when a kid watches an adult movie. Now obviously [there are] things that go way over your head [that] your parents want to go over your head. But some things, even if I didn’t exactly know what they meant I got the gist. . . . It was fucking thrilling to be the only child watching an adult movie and hearing the room laugh at (usually) something that I knew was probably naughty. And sometimes, even when I didn’t get it, I got it (10).   

A rather pedantic example of this comes when he describes seeing the scene in Woody Allen’s Play it Again Sam where Humphrey Bogart says “You’re as nervous as Lizabeth Scott before I blew her brains out”: “Did I know who Lizabeth Scott was? Of course not. Could I figure out at 12 that she was probably some old time actress that Bogart did pictures with? Of course” (70). 

Another thing worth pointing out is that kids inherently know the difference between truth and fiction. Adults are always surprised to learn that kids understand that stories, however dark, are just stories. People are more afraid of what their kids will read in a book, or see in a film, as if evil and complexity doesn’t exist in the real world. As if, were it not for books and movies, they wouldn’t encounter real evil in the world. It’s so silly. 

And just like I talk about my mind expanding through books, he talks about his mind expanding through movies. How these movies exposed him to a larger world. Look at how he describes seeing the scene in Dirty Harry where the girl’s body gets dug up: “When they removed the naked dead girl out of the hole in Dirty Harry, it was totally disturbing, but I got it. Scorpio’s inhumanity went beyond the beyond. All the better for Harry to blast him away with the world’s most powerful handgun” (15). She’s an innocent victim that this horrible thing happened to, which made Harry think he was justified in reacting the way that he did. And just like me with the androids, this caused Quentin to think about justice in a way that he hadn’t considered before. It made his mind and spirit grow a little. 

I love books and I love films. They have made me grow in ways as a person that I could never have imagined and I only hope that other kids will get the same opportunity to learn and grow that I did. What a wonderful gift.
