I just couldn't figure where the Dairy Memory came in ?
as I believe Jeff is Lactose Intolerant
then I came across this old Video...and the 'Sponsor' is?
look for Your Self...
It's probably easiest to imagine the Character Jeff Lebowski as a 'Serpent' with all the 'Snake-like'
Characteristics of these maligned Reptiles- He 'hates the Eagles' [there is way too much Mythology about this..]uses Poison- is a
'Slippery Hypnotiser' etc, Snakes in California include the devious 'Trouser'
which is often found in Dumpsters and around Bars-many have been found in Prisons..
They originally came from Mexico and Vietnam too has a variety of Jungle dwelling
Serpents that although able to swim, prefer to lounge around hanging out of Trees
sometimes they find their way into peoples homes -attracted by 'Pools' etc- when You realise one is around its best to call an Expert- the Sun is essential to all Reptiles as they are cold-blooded
and very dopey until warmed up. In Kipling's 'Jungle Book'
the best Snake killer of all is named 'RIKKI TIKKI TAVI' ...but that's another story..
Friedrich Von Nietzsche wrote about Snakes in some of His weird Monologues
but Nietzsche, as We know adored 'Jesus' -He just didn't like Organized Christianity very much..
misunderstanding Nietzsche is all too easy...
but I digress
Old Jeff 'Mullet' Bridges is a much better Actor than His Dad.
[as They say in Texas, 'Coons on the Wall'-a famous 'Vietnam' quote by L B Johnson]
-but His Dad could definitely Teach Him a thing or two..
as could EUGENE BURGER the Stage Magician famous for His 'Seances' etc
famous 'Magicians' 'Hypnotists' etc 'Sargent' 'Thurston'- remember Jeff 'Mullet' Bridges played Andy 'Sargentee' in 'The Moguls'
and Thurston shows up in 'Lebowski' [Caged Dog]
[some use Birdcages Handbells etc- see My 'HYP, THE BLUEBIRD' Post.-or above Link]
I Live in Liverpool England.
Jeff Bridges I hear lives in Livingston Montana these days after the Family Beach House in Malibu was reduced to Ashes in a fire and this is an interesting little Town...it is the setting for the 2022 Movie , 'Mending the Line' which concerns PTSD in veterans etc..
but also has some interesting Cinematography with shots of the Town and catches of Trout etc
Fly Fishing as a Therapy is something I came across many Years ago- I used to collect Feathers whilst out on walks and tried My Hand at tying once or twice but with 'Improvised' Equipment My efforts were laughable..
I know how to raise a Hackle though...
PTSD [Post Traumatic STRESS Dis-order] is seen by many to be the result of Military Experiences-
and this is True- but there are other kinds of Dis-orders brought on by Stress that have nothing to do with Militarism. Many Juveniles have been diagnosed with the condition...
It's strange how Movies have a 'Synchronistic' aspect.... Jeff 'Mullet' Bridges was born on 4 Dec 1949 and in that linked Picture above is standing in front of a Wall with a Picture of a Canoe about to 'Shoot the rapids'
or worse still- Perhaps Plunge to destruction over a raging Waterfall?
[ 'Row your boat'- the Song- was used as part of Childhood 'Jewels Programming' see web]
Who got that Pic for You Jeff? very 'Jack London'
Douglas Dick [see wiki link above] became a professional Psychologist
[AND WAS IN THE USCG AT MALIBU]
as well as writing 'Bewitched'[1964] appearing in Hitchcock's 'Rope'
Jeff Corey [real name Arthur Zwerling] became an Acting Teacher after being 'Blacklisted' in the infamous 'HUAC'[HCUA] 'Hearings' and was a Trained Professional Speech Therapist
Lloyd Bridges also had some difficulty with the HUAC but TV proved to be His 'Redemption'. Appearing in many Productions- A Cowboy in 'The Loner' made by Rod Serling
He is mostly known as 'Mike Nelson' in 'Seahunt'
He also had His own TV Show at one time
[ this below from a Fan on a TV Fan Site]
"Loved that show… I remember one line especially… a bad guy called him a man in an underwater bunny suit…"
Nominated for 3 Oscars Lloyd Bridges was a true Pro. My Mum always said My[ Now Deceased] Dad looked a bit like Him? interesting
Lloyd born 15 Jan My Dad 14 Jan..?
[ 'High Noon' [Movie] was made as a Parody of HUAC unbeknown to some of the Actors involved- Oscar nominated Ben Johnson the Journeyman /Stuntman/Rodeo World Champion for example- who appeared as 'Sam the Lion' in 'The Last Picture Show' [Movie]and appeared in the Pendleton Rodeos which are notorious for mistreatment of Horses.. ]
Nice bit of Joist work Carpentry in that Pic above and I like the Floor Tiling too - Good Job...pity about the Scruffy Clothing and Tatty Head?
-Hand stitched or not- a 'Redshirt' in Acting Parlance derives from 'Star Trek' [so I hear]and is something to do with College Football? or whatever...I'T'S SUPPOSED TO BE 'UNLUCKY'
Like William H Macy Jeff has some knowledge of Woodworking and I read sompeplace He helped out in Construction?
1949 saw the release of 'The Glass Mountain' [based on a Polish Fairy Tale collected by the Brothers Grimm-interesting Story 'Old Rinkrank' etc see wiki]-the Fat Lady really does get to sing....
Where solitude endeth, there beginneth the market-place; and where the market-place beginneth, there beginneth also the noise of the great actors, and the buzzing of the poison-flies.
In the world even the best things are worthless without those who represent them: those representers, the people call great men.
Little, do the people understand what is great—that is to say, the creating agency. But they have a taste for all representers and actors of great things.
Friedrich Nietzsche. 'Thus Spake Zarathustra'- ch12 'The Flies in the Marketplace'
Probably the most annoying nuisance Fly is the Bluebottle.[Blowfly] Squash it flat.
'Catfishing' or 'Phony' are terms used for 'Confidence Tricksters'- the term 'Phony' derives from a 'Ring Game' ['Fawny' is a corruption of Irish Gaelic] popular amongst low Lifes in Ireland [see web] where a 'Mug' is 'Fleeced' in a 'Substitution' Con
above Link gives an insight into 'Ulysses' by James Joyce
[with reference to the 'Artist as a Young Man'. Joyce used the 'Ulysses' /Odysseus Greek Tale in a Modern Setting]
Quote:
'Then Mulligan speaks of Bloom in anti-Semitic terms, adding that Bloom is a sexual predator – a common stereotype of men who are attracted to men by homophobes '
or;
We approach closer to a situation where the action of a fiction is controlled by the structural resonance of a set of classical parallels in Joyce’s next book A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. This is made clear even before the action of the novel starts, in the epigraph which precedes the title page –
Et ignotas animum dimittit in artes – he set his mind to the seeking out of hidden wisdom.
10This line from Ovid’s Metamorphoses is often ignored by students particularly since nowadays they frequently lack any smattering of a classical education, but it is in fact an important clue in the unravelling of the novel’s web. It refers to the story of Daedalus and his son Icarus, a mythical narrative that is even yet part of the European cultural subconscious.
From the very first page until the very last page the image of the inventor Daedalus is present; Daedalus the artist whose human ingenuity allows him to defy the fate imposed upon him by his supernatural overlords escaping from the cruel maze of his own invention on man-made wings accompanied by his son Icarus whose vaunting triumph in the new-found exercise of flight leads to catastrophe as, soaring too close to the heat of the sun, waxen wings melt and the youth plummets to destruction in the sea.
11Joyce’s novel deals with the growth toward independent consciousness of the mind of a young boy in Ireland who aspires to be an artist. With an iron nerve the young James Joyce named his protagonist Stephen Dedalus.
It is a tribute to the power of Joyce’s imaginative genius and his capacity to force the willing suspension of the readers disbelief that no one in the almost eighty years since the first publication of the novel has seen fit to cavil at his curious conjunction of names combining as it does the first martyr of the Christian church with the legendary death of the world’s first test pilot.
Something of the complex trellis of symbolic resonances that sustains the frequently realist – or naturalist – appearing surface of the novel may be gathered from the fact that during the course of the first page or so of the book the figures not alone of Dedalus, Icarus and St. Stephen protomartyr are evoked but also those of Prometheus and Satan in his guise as Lucifer the fallen light-bearer.
12Indeed the image of Icarian fall is one of the most frequently recurring motifs of the novel.
The action proceeds in a kind of halting dialectic. Stephen appears to make some advance morally, spiritually, intellectually or artistically but this is speedily undercut by a subsequent ironic intervention in a manner which is reminiscent of the sickening fall of the son of Daedalus. Frequently this trope is accomplished by the employment of a species of sympathetic form where the language itself seems to rise in ecstasy from earth bound prose to the delirium of a prophetic chant only to be dashed back to earth by the harsh realities of the prosaic life.
'Ulysses' is the forename of U.S President Grant... 'Pollock'[ Polk is a variant of Pollock] too was a former U.S President as was [Chester] 'Arthur'... [Dick]'Nixon'... [LBJ]'Johnson' and so on... 'U. S Presidents' and Historical
Political figures such as Henry Knox also feature ' Unconsciously' in
this 'Game' of 'Artsy' Characters who are all based on the Theatre and it's Stage 'Devices'
['Flying Harnesses' 'Prompters' 'Greasepaint' 'Stage Scenery Construction' etc as well as Directors and other Personnel]
But , You know I could be totally wrong , A Picture of a Canoe is just an Ornamental Decoration...
funny tho' Grand Rapids is near Minnesota...? ever been there Jeff?..
It has a couple of 'Nicknames' -'Furniture City' [due to the large Number of Furniture Artisans]
and also 'Beer City' ..
It's a Place with a Museum dedicated to the Movie 'The Wizard of Oz' which I have already explained
was written by Baum as 'Critique' of the American Monetary System ..and is nothing to do with 'Magic' Shoes..
what I found really interesting about the Museum was the Horse- the one used in the Movie-
used to belong to President Abraham Lincoln! wow Pothead Abe had to sell His Horse?
[I never knew that when I Posted My 'ABE and KARL' years ago]
Horse Sellers and Minnesota? mmm..
Presidents and American States are included throughout the Characters in the 'Game'
'MA' [Maine].. 'DE'[Delaware] and so on 'JE' [Jersey] 'WA' [Washington] etc..
California in 1960's is accurately described by Joan Didion re; Georgia O Keefe Art etc
Books seem to be important in the Scripting?
'Sodom and Gomorrah' a Book by Marcel Proust
“It is not only by dint of lying to others, but also of lying to ourselves, that we cease to notice that we are lying.”
Proust was a Hypochondriac Homosexual who thought He had 'Abulia' and by His own admission was always obsessively Masturbating as a Teenager to the point where it became a Medical problem...
Joyce was a 'Closet' Homosexual -probably victim of Pederasty from a very Catholic background and Salvador Dali a famous Surrealist Artist who as a Young Man created one of His most famous Self Portraits
which He Titled? 'The Great Masturbator'-
reminiscences of a Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man...?
[pic Wikipedia-note 'Insectoid' Symbolism ]
You play Your games? -I play Mine...
'Hamburger Hill' Movie Script-written by a certain 'Carabatsos'
has dialogue about 'Cutting Your Dick Off' etc..
and as I have previously shown Communism Is responsible for the Vietnam conflict AND the near Genocide of the Worlds Whale population.
Jewish 'Fallen Angel' Satanism= Death Worship-hence the Communist 'Holodomor' which saw Millions deliberately starved to Death in 'Russia'
and thanks to State Controlled Media -hardly anyone knows anything about.
DON'T YOU GET IT? 'IF YAHWEH' IS SATAN's Dad.
and if 'HE' HAD CHILDREN -HE MUST HAVE KNOWN HOW
TO COPULATE
Confused Sexuality in Puberty causes untold Problem Scenarios.
Threats from 'Religioso' Adults have little effect if Pubescent Children have been abused by an irresponsible Adult [of either Sex]
what is needed is a clear explanation of the emotional side of Coitus.
Syd Barrett [Pink Floyd] developed 'Schizophrenia' after using LSD
eventually leading to the breakup of the band
'See Emily Play'...
the only thing that's missing is the Irritating Infantile 'Canned Laughter' of
American TV
People do love a good 'Gossip'
Hollywood has Thousands of 'Watchers' just waiting for a Juicy Story...
Ulysses was searching for a 'Golden Fleece' undergoing some strange Maritime events Homer was Playing Games with His Readers.. using Mythology even then to illustrate
His Characters
I think James Joyce was also 'Playing Games'.. I have Irish Heritage and Citizenship also..
Old Jeff Bridges likes Playing Word Games ...so I devised this Blog to give Him
something to think about besides Acting...at first it was a bit of a Joke on My part..
but I've come to believe Jeff has not been well in the past..
I have no interest in making His life any more difficult
if He was Epileptic or had Polio its none of My Business
and I apologise for any inference or confusion
'Mulet' is the French Translation of 'Mullet'
but it should be noted that this Translates as 'Ass' or DONKEY...in English..
Your choice 'Star-Man' ...Jeff...
I gave up Fishing and have no interest in taking it up again.
just because You read a couple of Books by Nietzsche or Sartre doesn't make You a Philosopher...
and just because You read Joyce or Melville doesn't make You a Teacher..
it does however open Your mind to possibilities previously unknown
