Adieu au langage - Goodbye to Language
A Works Cited
Introduction
From its bluntly political opening (Alfredo Bandelli's 'La caccia alle streghe': "Always united we win, long live the revolution!") to its hilarious fecal humor and word play—with 3D staging that happily puts to shame James Cameron and every other hack who's tried their hand at it these past several years—Adieu au langage overwhelms us with a deluge of recited texts, music and images, hardly ever bothering to slow down to let us catch our breath. Exhilarating and certainly not surprising—this is the guy who made Puissance de la parole after all!
The release of a new Godard film or video means a new encounter with texts, films and music often familiar from the filmmaker's earlier work—reworked and re-contextualized—as well as new discoveries to be sorted through and identified. This life-long interest in quotation...

Also known under the title The Gates of Hell, this 1980 film has Catriona MacColl as a psychic named Mary Woodhouse (a reference to Rosemary’s Baby perhaps?) and Christopher George playing a reporter named Peter Bell. During a séance, Mary has a vision of a priest that commits suicide and the opening of a gateway to hell.
She must find a way to close it before a full-blown zombie apocalypse takes place, and teams up with Peter to find the location of the priest’s death. The two race toward the inevitable showdown with the living dead, and in a nod to H.P. Lovecraft, Fulci has the priest commit suicide in a cemetery in the small New England town of Dunwich.
Typical of any film by Fulci, there will be two things: a plot that moves about as fast as the walking dead and at least fifteen zooms into gratuitous gore.

Doctor Who fans have spoken out in support of lead actor Matt Smith after overnight ratings for the show began to dip. The final episode of Smith's first series as the Doctor attracted just 5.1 million viewers, while bookies recently slashed odds that the actor would be dropped from the role. However, fan Peter Bell told WalesOnline: “I was reserving my judgement on Matt Smith until I saw him in action and I must admit I was a little sceptical because I thought he was too young to play the Doctor. “Now I’m happy to admit I was wrong. He was good at first and he just got better and better as the series progressed - better even I think than [David] Tennant.” Bell argued that Smith's performance (more)...
