The Reprisalizer – Fake 70s Hardboiled-Crime Pulp-Series
Ich hab’ keine wirkliche Ahnung, was auf The Reprisalizer vor sich geht, ich weiß nur, dass er eine Fake-Pulp-Serie von einem englischen Comedy-Dings ist und super aussieht.
Von DJ Food:
Garth Marenghi (of Dark Place fame) has a new site up for a series of fictitious pulp detective novels called ‘The Reprisalizer’ in ‘the violent paperback worlds of Terry Finch‘. The Reprisalizer, aka Bob Shuter, is a throwback to the 70′s in the same way as Life On Mars was, think The Sweeney crossed with The Equalizer, set in Kent. There’s also a gunslinger character called Draw too – ‘one man whirlwind of the west’.
The site is beautifully realised with excerpts from old novels on yellowing pages, reverse covers, a biog of Finch with ‘praise for the author’ and even vintage fanzines from the 80′s supposedly commemorating the books. Apparently the recent ‘A Gun For George’ film is also tied into this but I’ve not seen it yet and there are ebooks and podcasts promised as ‘coming soon’ too.

Burt Reynolds, Hot Line: The Letters I Get… And Write!, 1972
Flickr-Userin Charm and Poise hat ein olles Buch aus den 70s über Fan-Briefe an Burt Reynolds und seine Antworten darauf hochgeladen – ein einziger, großer Knaller. Oh, the 70s.
From Burt Reynolds, Hot Line: The Letters I Get … And Write!, 1972. This is truly a strange book. Both the letters and Burt’s answers are swingin’ 70s in outlook and jargon. From the opening page: “Burt Reynolds is America’s newest Sex Symbol, star of movies, TV, stage, and Cosmo centerfolds. Passion flower to eager femmes from 8 to 80, he is a virile, witty, gracious, warm, lovable, hotter’n firecrackers hunk of male who likes nothing better than reclining his fabulous fanny on bearskin rugs, rapping with his fans and their endless stream of letters.”
Hier der Brief einer Emma an den guten Burt:

That year 23 members of the wealthy Bin Laden family visited Falun while one of the elder brothers conducted business with Volvo. Osama is remembered from the occasion as a quiet and reserved boy who at 16 didn’t really stand out from the crowd
Doku: NY77 – The Coolest Year in Hell
(Youtube Direkt77, via Dangerous Minds)
Jemand hat die 2007er VH1-Doku „NY77 – The Coolest Year in Hell“ bei Youtube hochgeladen. Ich habe davon erst den Anfang gesehen, der sieht allerdings schonmal fantastisch aus, es geht um ein komplettes Stimmungsbild der Stadt im Sommer 77 mit Serienkillern, Crime, einem riesigen Stromausfall, Graffiti, Punk und Hip Hop. Whoa! Von IMDB:
New York City, 1977 – It was a time when the city had fallen into decay, with too few jobs, money, police, schools, and social services. There was a city wide blackout with major looting, a serial killer on the loose, and the Bronx was burning. And yet out of the chaos emerged one of the most creative times any city has ever encountered.
Executive Produced by Academy Award Nominee Nanette Burstein (“The Kid Stays in the Picture”), “NY77: The Coolest Year In Hell” is a two-hour documentary that tells the story of one astonishing year in New York City history. […] the documentary is told chronologically and weaves together the stories of the emergence of hip hop, punk and disco, graffiti art, and sexual liberation. In the background are the major political events and social issues of the day — crime, urban decay, financial woes, the infamous blackout, drugs, Son of Sam, the bitter mayoral election and the overall poverty that gripped the city.
Out of chaos came creation. From the South Bronx came hip hop. From the Lower East Side, the thrashing guitars of punk. And all over the city, a disco revolution was underway. Elaborate, finely crafted graffiti art decorated the subway cars and break-dancers shimmied in the streets. The sexual revolution was in full swing. In January 1977, most of this activity existed in its own underground bubble. Yet by the end of the year this artistic expression was on its way to mainstream America, and would be with us for generations to come.
The documentary uses groundbreaking animation to help tell the story, and features interviews with those who lived it, including Ed Koch, Geraldo Rivera, Jimmy Breslin, Gloria Gaynor, Afrika Bambaataa, Chris Stein (Blondie), Richard Hell, KRS-One, Grandmaster Caz, DJ Disco Wiz, Legs McNeil, Annie Sprinkle, Al Goldstein, Tommy Ramone, Jellybean Benitez, Lee Quinones, and many more.
Hugh Hollands Locals Only: California Skateboarding 1975–1978
Hugh Holland, dessen Sk8-Fotografie aus den 70ern ich hier schon öfter hatte, hat einen neuen Bildband mit alten Skatefotografien am Start: Locals only. Die Bilder stammen aus seiner Ausstellung gleichen Namens in der M+B Gallery, ich gehe aber schwer davon aus, dass die Bilder aus seiner „Angels“-Ausstellung ebenfalls enthalten sind. Hier noch seine Website, da gibt’s aber praktisch nichts zu sehen. Von Amazon:
Als der junge Fotograf Hugh Holland 1975 den Laurel Canyon Boulevard in Los Angeles hochfuhr, sah er zum ersten mal die Skater. Er war fasziniert von ihrer Eleganz und Kraft und wusste, er hatte sein Thema gefunden. 3 Jahre lang fotografierte er die Skateboard- Szene in den Straßen von Los Angeles, in Venice Beach, San Francisco und Baja California (Mexiko) Die Fotos von Hugh Holland wurden in den letzten Jahren ausgestellt in Los Angeles, Paris (bei Colette) und in New York.

Zu Omas und Opas Zeit hies das „Schwofen zu Grammofonmusik“, der informierte Tänzer von heute weiß: Das nennt man Diskotanz. Und der Mann am Plattenspieler heisst SPU, Schallplattenunterhalter. 300 SPU haben sich in Neu-Brandenburg getroffen zum Erfahrungsaustausch.
Doku über New Yorks Gangs in den 70s: Rubble Kings
(Vimeo Direktgangs, via Dangerous Minds)
Schöner Trailer zu einer Doku von Shan Nicholson.
From 1968 to 1975, gangs ruled New York City. Beyond the idealistic hopes of the civil rights movement lay a unfocused rage. Neither law enforcement nor social agency could end the escalating bloodshed. Peace came only through the most unlikely and courageous of events that would change the world for generations to come by giving birth to hip-hop culture.
Rubble Kings, the most comprehensive documentation of life during this era of gang rule to date, tells the story of how a few extraordinary, forgotten people did the impossible, and how their actions impacted the world over.
