(1.) N/A

(2.) [Alex] Oh man, I'm starting to feel the pressure.

(3.) [Lewis] I really hope I don't go up first.

(4.) [Andrea] Judges, are you ready to try the four appetizers our young chefs have prepared for you?

(5.) [Mia] We are more than ready. Let's begin.

(6.) [Rubiya] The drama......

(7.) [Dulce] Reality is hitting me. I'm feeling a bit sick now.

(8.) [Andrea] First up, we have Chef Lewis's appetizer.

(9.) [Lewis] Seriously? I've always been picked last in things, especially when it comes to picking teams in physical education class. Oh well, I'm pure done in from all the worrying. Let's get this over with.

(10.) [Lewis] Judges, today I have for you a pea shoot salad with crumbled sausage, flatbread croutons, and a shakshuka sauce vinaigrette.

(11.) [Carlo] These croutons are awfully burnt, buddy. We can't try them like this.

(12.) [Rubiya] Poor Lewis.

(13.) [Dulce] Oh, man.. at least the rest of the bowl looks pretty?

(14.) [Lewis] Yeah, I'm sorry. I lost track of time, so I put the heat up, but then I sorta forgot about 'em. But they're one of the basket ingredients, so I had to keep 'em in so I don't get immediately disqualified, y'know?

(15.) [Sofia] I respect that, Chef Lewis. You're not backing out of the race just yet. That's admirable, in my opinion. This vinaigrette is delicious, by the way.

(16.) [Carlo] The crumbled sausage is actually cooked to perfection...

(17.) [Mia] It really is a shame about the croutons because everything else came together quite beautifully.

[Sofia] Thank you for the food, Chef Lewis.

[Lewis] Thank you, judges.

(18.) [Andrea] Up next, we have Chef Dulce's appetizer.

[Dulce] Judges, today I made for you cheesy pizza wedges with a flatbread crust, shakshuka sauce, topped with pea shoots, and merguez sausage.

(19.) [Dulce] I nailed that.

(20.) [Carlo] This is...

Sul solito ((( aitanblog ))), la mia prefazione a “Chaborrillos“, interessante e suggestiva traduzione realizzata da Fernando Cid Lucas delle poesie dialettali scritte negli anni ’20 del ‘900 da Ferdinando Russo e dedicate agli “Scugnizzi” dei bassifondi napoletani.

Tra le illustrazioni e le foto prese dalla rete e delle quali (colpevolmente) ignoro l'autore, si intravedono, in questo breve video che ho realizzato per l'occasione, sculture di Gemito e quadri di Antonio Mancini

Il frammento musicale di sottofondo è tratto dal "Canto allo Scugnizzo" di Carlo d'Angiò ed Eugenio Bennato (Musicanova, 1978).

Horror Movie Review: Cellar Dweller (1988)

A highly successful comic book artist gains inspiration from a mystical book, inadvertently he summons an evil spirit into his basement studio that kills him. Decades later, an art student goes rooting around the sealed boxes in his cellar and releases the supernatural forces trapped there.

Cellar Dweller is a 1988 American monster horror film. It was directed by John Carl Buechler and written by Don Mancini. The film starts 30 years in the past, presumably during the mid to late 1950’s. Colin Childress (Jeffrey Combs), is the writer and illustrator of the popular horror comic, “Cellar Dweller”.

Previous / Next (Transcript under the cut)

Transcript:

(1.) [Andrea] You have 30 minutes to make an appetizer using all four of the basket ingredients. The timer starts... Now!

(2.) [Alex] I'm making a raclette with an assortment of merguez sausage, vegetable flatbread, pea shoots, and a side of shakshuka sauce. I think everything will go nicely with the melted cheese.

(3.) [Alex] I'll add ham, salami, steamed potatoes, and olives. I'm kind of playing it safe, but I hope the variety of flavors work out for me. It's all part of my strategy to at least get to the second round.

(4.) [Lewis] I've calmed down now. I decided to make a salad with pea shoots, crumbled sausage, flatbread croutons, and a shakshuka vinaigrette.

(5.) [Lewis] It's a salad. I can't possibly mess this up.... right?

(6.) [Dulce] I went with pizza wedges with a flatbread crust. They'll have shakshuka sauce, pea shoots, and merguez sausage. Of course, I'll be adding some mozzarella and parmesan cheese.

(7.) [Dulce] The pizza wedges are going to be soooo cute and fun. I'll also put some bacon bits and garlic. I can't put too many things, though. The wedges aren't going to be that big.

(8.) [Rubiya] I'm making spaghetti with merguez sausage meatballs, shakshuka sauce, and pea shoots. I'll add the vegetables from the flatbread to my sauce and use the rest of the flatbread to make garlic bread.

(9.) [Rubiya] Could I have made shakshuka? Yes, but that's rather predictable. Also, as someone from a Middle Eastern family, I refuse to use premade shakshuka sauce. I must make it from scratch.

(10.) [Andrea] It's time to introduce the two judges here today who are joining Michelin-Starred Chef, Mia D'Angelo-Ramirez.

(11.) [Mia] Thank you, Andrea. I'm always accompanied by amazing people, but I think the viewers and contestants will find today's lineup quite astounding.

(12.) [Dulce] Wow, it's actually her... I look up to Chef Mia a lot as another Mexican-Italian. I don't have Italian blood like her, but I was born here. I want to be on her level someday.

(13.) [Lewis] Oh my gosh..... I know Chef Mia is in every episode, but I still got nervous again when I saw her at the judges' table. She is so beautiful and talented.

(14.) [Carlo] Mia, you flatter me.

[Andrea] Chef Mia is right, though! Folks, here we have Executive Chef and Food Entrepreneur, Carlo Mancini.

(15.) [Alex] Chef Carlo Mancini??? He's the real deal. It's too late to change my appetizer now, so I have to impress him with my raclette.

(16.) [Rubiya] Chef Carlo Mancini. This will be fun.

(17.) [Andrea] And here's Grammy Award winner, Sofia Bjergsen!

[Sofia] Thank you so much. I've already been having a blast here. Not many people know this, but I was actually in culinary school for a bit before I decided to pursue music full-time.

(18.) [Dulce] THE Sofia Bjergsen??? I have all of her vinyl records! My favorite song by her is My Love Knows. I know the entire choreography for that song... here, I'll show you!

(19.) *My Love Knows by Sofia Bjergsen starts playing*

(20.) *My Love Knows by Sofia Bjergsen starts playing*

(21.) [Alex] Okay, I'll admit that I'm a fan, but what is she doing here? Isn't she on a world tour right now?

(22.) [Andrea] We are overjoyed to have the three of you as judges. Please, talk amongst yourselves while I check on the chefs.

Rewatching The Godfather and there’s a scene before Sonny goes over to Carlo and Connie’s place where he’s leaving Lucy Mancini’s apartment and Tom and a bunch of other guys follow behind him, presumably having waited outside the apartment for Sonny to finish and for some reason that’s kinda funny to me.

October 7, 2022.

I’m on the way in breaking my record for the most visits to New York City in a single year. Three of these visits were to see Boy Harsher and Cold Waves’ X in Brooklyn, and Sacred Bones’ 15th anniversary label showcase out in Queens (Maspeth). Three more of these were visits to record stores: twice at Academy and once at Captured Tracks. Well, this is visit #7: a routine visit to the city doctor. This time in East Manhattan overlooking the East River.

And, it’d be one of the quickest. Penn Station to the ‘Q’ line and a few steps  to 74th St. The stay was no more than 75 minutes before I bolted out and headed back to the ‘Q’ for Penn Station. For some reason, I didn’t feel like staying. I knew it was going to bite me later on. Not only was I dissatisfied in having work the next day, but my anxiety didn’t want to have any of today.

La democrazia. Parola meravigliosa. Un concetto che si basa su alcuni pilastri, senza i quali (o anche senza uno solo di essi) non esisterebbe. Come un tavolino. Se manca anche una sola gamba, quel che c’è sopra crolla. E i pilastri sono quelli definiti dalla Dichiarazione universale dei diritti umani. Dopo l’11 settembre non è più stato così. La Casa Bianca (allora era Presidente George Bush) decise che da quel momento in poi il governo degli Stati Uniti d’America aveva diritto di rapire, torturare, financo uccidere qualsiasi cittadino di qualsiasi nazione del pianeta, senza dover rendere conto a nessuno, senza dover subire nessuna implicazione penale per i crimini commessi, senza dover sottostare ad alcuna implicazione morale. La guerra senza fine al terrorismo era stata lanciata. La Bosnia aveva fatto il suo dovere. L’Italia aveva fatto il suo dovere. La mafia aveva fatto il suo dovere. La destra eversiva aveva fatto il suo dovere. Washington raccoglieva i frutti del successo del suo piano pensato oltre due decenni addietro. Giuliano Tavaroli era un ex brigadiere in servizio presso la sezione Anticrimine dei Carabinieri di Milano, poi passato alla sicurezza di Pirelli e, successivamente, del Gruppo Telecom Italia. Tavaroli (il cui nome di battaglia era “Tavola”) era un mago delle intercettazioni. Negli anni Ottanta aveva lavorato per il reparto antiterrorismo del generale Carlo Alberto dalla Chiesa, ricevendo un gran numero di encomi. Passato al settore privato, aveva mantenuto rapporti con agenti dell’Intelligence, come il numero due del Sismi Marco Mancini, l’ex 007 del Sisde Marco Bernardini e perfino con un agente di collegamento della Cia. Tavaroli si appoggiava anche a un investigatore privato (Emanuele Cipriani), i cui uffici erano in un appartamento della nuora del gran maestro della P2 Licio Gelli. Questi aveva costruito un proprio archivio («l’archivio Z»). Un sistema di archiviazione elettronico che si basava su tre hard disk esterni, che per precauzione venivano custoditi nella sala consolare della Guinea e richiusi in cassaforte ogni fine settimana. Eh sì, perché Cipriani era anche console onorario della Guinea. Soprattutto, il “Tavola” aveva creato il “Tiger Team”, il gruppo di hacker che aveva il compito di spiare. Chi? Cittadini incensurati, associazioni private, aziende e, se la Cia lo chiedeva, anche presunti terroristi. O quanto meno persone definite «terroriste » dalla Central Intelligence Agency. Un gruppo totalmente illegale, che agiva in maniera illegale grazie alla copertura dei servizi italiani e di quelli statunitensi. Tavaroli e Mancini si erano conosciuti nella sezione speciale anticrimine fondata dal generale dalla Chiesa. Da allora erano sempre rimasti in contatto. Fu per questo che, quando il capo del controspionaggio del Sismi (Mancini) ebbe bisogno di favorire una delicatissima operazione richiesta dal capo stazione della Cia a Milano Robert Seldon Lady e dal responsabile dell’Agenzia in Italia Jeff Castelli, pensò subito al “Tavola”. «C’era un problema. L’imam di viale Jenner era sul punto di cedere e di raccontare tutto ai magistrati milanesi. L’intera operazione progettata per oltre due decenni e attuata sul campo da undici anni stava per saltare. Inoltre, cosa ben più grave, Abu Omar avrebbe rivelato al mondo il coinvolgimento degli Stati Uniti nel terrorismo internazionale, il coinvolgimento dell’Italia nel terrorismo internazionale, l’importanza della Bosnia per il terrorismo internazionale, la natura stessa del terrorismo internazionale.
