The Fool, with a surface value of zero, is the highest valued card in the Tarot. Everry manm eho trusts himself is a fool in the eyes of this world.
Despite seeing this hate posted everywhere Joe Cressy has been silent.
This issue of FILM COMMENT changed completely my thinking on Hollywood Cartoons.
“Taking LSD was a profound experience, one of the most important things in my life. LSD shows you that there’s another side to the coin, and you can’t remember it when it wears off, but you know it. It reinforced my sense of what was important—creating great things instead of making money, putting things back into the stream of history and of human consciousness as much as I could.”

The left is as bad as the right. Both feel free to lie to serve their cause.
Aditya Shankar.
Aditya Shankar, the Face Of Gay Youth India. He lived at The Cineforum. He was here when the shit hit the fan in India over homosexuality and religion. Religion in India has a hard time with sex period. Jesus taught the truth sets us free. The word “religion” comes from the Latin “re” which means “back” and the Latin “ligare” which means “tie.” The word religion means to tie back, to restrain, to bind. It has nothing to do with Faith. It sure as fuck does not set us free.
This is The Fool from The Tarot in his unbowdlerized state. Later versions put trousers on him. http://www.tarot-history.com/Jean-Noblet/
Jesus was dirt poor.
Friz Freleng was wonderful. In Toronto he met an audience which regarded him as they would have regarded Salvador Dali and Pablo Picasso. They saw him not as a man who made funny cartoons but as what he was, a real artist working in the medium of his choice. Mr. Freleng is one of animation’s great unsung heroes. His use of music in animation is peerless. Two of his best films, CLEAN PASTURES and GOLDILOCKS AND THE JIVING BEARS are among the fabled Censored Eleven Warner Animation classics. While these films certainly don’t belong on regular television they are mature works which should command the respect they deserve. They are adult in the best sense of that word. Freleng did Ralph Bakshi (FRITZ THE CAT, COOKSKIN, etc.) when Bakshi was in diapers.
This issue of FILM COMMENT opened my eyes to animated cartoons not only as cinema but also as an art forum unto itself.
Bernard B. Brown played first violin in the orchestra which accompanied THE BIRTH OF A NATION during its premiere run in Los Angeles in 1915. On retiring he taught film and film sound at UCLA. For three days in 1980 he taught me.

The nearer the church the farther from God.
These folk clearly lack love.
“Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” Where is that in this?
The author of this piece from the Toronto Star said, “The people at THE STAR think the films you show are trash.”
THE CINEFORUM is one of the few places on earth where Mickey can be Mickey.
