LOTR - Foreword to the 2nd Edition Pt 4 - by Reno Lauro

LOTR: Foreword to the 2nd Edition Pt 4Sensing the Trace of the Fugitive GodsBaldr the BeautifulWe conclude our annotation of Tolkien’s Foreword to the 2nd Edition (1966) of The Lord of the Rings with Tolkien’s final attempt (it appears) to rescue his mythology from childish roots, counter culture fans, and source-seeking intellectuals. Up to this point in the foreword, Tolkien distanced LOTR from its assumed prequel, The Hobbit, and connected it to his larger pure myth The Silmarillion. Tolk...

Stealing Reason from God - Theft in Time Bandits and The Fisher King

Time Bandits (1981) | Avco Embassy Pictures> Theft as metaphor/metaphor as theftWho is the God of the white man of the midwestern United States? And once we know who God is, we have to ask: does he have anything worth nicking? Former American Terry Gilliam has directed 12½ feature films, all of them fantastical reflections of our society and its foibles. Gilliam is the most cynical fantasist in cinema, and his surreal, misty films often put our own bad behavior on display. Gilliam crafts a sh...

God's Time

There’s no time like the present in Daniel Antebi’s fast-paced feature debut, "God’s Time." From the moment Regina (Liz Caribel) sits down to share her grievances to an Addicts Anonymous group, the movie’s main character Dev (Ben Groh), cuts in and talks directly to the audience, filling us in on what we don’t yet know. This isn’t Regina’s first time spilling her emotions to the group—it’s part of a months-long series of complainants about the dirtbag boyfriend who moved in, took over her apa...

The Ox

by SD Master The Ox, being the first and most favored of God’s ear, was asked by Man to supplicate on their behalf, a question that Man needed to know. "Pray, ask God, on our behalf, how often we as Man, should eat". The Ox, worthy of entreaty, and knowing of God’s respect for its requests, was pulled straight up and stood before God to repeat the question of Man. "Tell Man, that he should eat once every three days", spoke God. The Ox, well meaning, though confused with letters...

The Godfather: high art for the masses - Spiked

The Godfather turns 50 today. It premiered on 14 March, 1972. The film took the base metal of Mario Puzo’s schlocky source novel and alchemised it into something grand and operatic, even Shakespearean. Francis Ford Coppola and most of the cast returned for two further pictures. I love the series with a passion bordering on the deranged (Yes, even Part III – it’s better than you remember!). The Godfather films aren’t just gangster flicks, they are high art. Love an...

The Hellenic fertility Gods

How about a little overview today? An overview of the fertility gods of Hellenismos. I'm going to start off with a lesser known deity: Priapos (Πριαπος), protector of sheep, goats, bees, the vine and of all garden produce. He was depicted with a huge male member, and can be petitioned for aid with any issues regarding the male genitalia. He was native to the Mysian city of Lampsakos on the Hellespont but the ancient Hellenes adopted the God as the son of either Hermes or Dionysos. His mother ...

Neptune: The Evolving Roman God Of Fresh Water, The Sea and Horses

The ancient Romans believed that Neptune was the god of the sea. Although he is most commonly compared to the Greek god Poseidon, this had not always been the case. Originally, Neptune was a god of fresh water, and was only associated with Poseidon at a later date. Thanks to Neptune’s connection with Poseidon, there are many Roman myths in which the latter is substituted with the former. Although many similarities can be drawn between Neptune and Poseidon, differences can also be seen....
