Affliction (1997)

One of the hardest things to do when making an original piece of art is portray the real life surroundings of its plot. The film that goes above and beyond that encapsulation is the Coen Brothers' "Fargo" which is as perfect a film as you can get. But that's not the topic of this post. The following year came a film that has the desolate look of "Fargo", but in a more straightforward Hollywood fashion. Paul Schrader's "Affliction" is a competent piece of cinema that gets its strength more on its substance, but not in the plotting.

In the snowy hills of New Hampshire, officer Wade Whitehouse (Nick Nolte) has a lot of emotional baggage. He's in the middle of a messy custody battle with his ex-wife (Mary Beth Hurt), his friend (Jim True-Frost) is a suspect in the death of a Massachussetts businessman (Sean McGann) during a deer hunt, he is conflicted as to whether to marry his girlfriend Marge (Sissy Spacek) and is still haunted by his abusive childhood at the hands of his father Glen (James Coburn). When Wade's mother dies, he and his brother Rolfe (Willem Dafoe) must confront their personal demons while also getting to the bottom of a mystery involving the deceased businessman and his boss Selectman Gordon Lariviere (Holmes Osborne Jr.) pertaining to a dodgy real estate deal.

"Affliction" has the appearance of a film steeped in mystery and intrigue, but very little of it actually bears any real suspense. The story involving the businessman's death is treated as an ordinary subplot rather than the main story. Another criticism is how the town and its citizens are shown. The desolate nature of the small town lacks any real interest for its urban legends and old wives' tales. The characters are all creations of Hollywood from their mismatched accents (Minnesotan sounding people from New Hampshire) to costumes that look like a JCPenney catalog. It was those characteristics done right in "Fargo" that elevated that film to legenday status, the idea of a mystery being given full treatment, the characters speaking freely in their own dialect and the spontaneous flow of life going at a natural pace. In "Affliction", it's more like make-believe.

The one part of "Affliction" that is done well is its most important aspect, that of a father and son relationship in turmoil. Schrader's succeeds in showing us flashbacks that look like home movies down to the graininess of the film. We understand why Wade is not an effective parent, why he cannot commit to marriage and why he is on the brink of insanity. The narration by Rolfe connects the dots in showing the relevance between the Whitehouse family and the businessman's death, despite the latter's less than stellar use in the plot. When we find out the real story in the epilogue, we've stopped caring.

Nick Nolte gives one of his most effective performances as Wade. He's the guy you hate because of his callousness but the same time feel sorry for him because of his childhood scars. His rugged nature mixed in with his sensitivity is worn all over his face. James Coburn, in a well deserved Oscar winning performance, makes Glen Whitehouse into the Father From Hell, a lowlife with the most disdain for the human race. The final scene between the two is a testament to their acting chops and the lengths they can go to churn out characters with dimension. The rest of the cast (Spacek, Dafoe, Osborne, True-Frost) are also terrific in otherwise thankless roles. The one acting performance that was off-putting was that by Brigid Tierney as Wade's daughter Jill, which was all whining and no human dimension. Her scenes come off as cheap, direct to video family theatrics, not an R-rated Hollywood indie film directed by a Hollywood legend like Paul Schrader.

In addition to Coburn's Oscar win for Best Supporting Actor, the only other nomination was a well deserved one from Nick Nolte in the Best Actor category. "Affliction" could have been a masterpiece like "Fargo" if it only adhered more to the urban legend mentality and breathed life into its surroundings with more visual and characteristic subtlety. As it is now, "Affliction" is "Fargo-lite".

7.5/10

Amazing day at the Albina Music Trust Booth! A link to our live broadcast from the booth is here.

This collection of photos documents World Arts Foundation, Inc.'s 33rd Annual Tribute To The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Our Albina Music Trust Program was featured in the event's Victory Village Maketplace. I would like to thank Ken Berry & Michael Grice for bringing AMT into the program. I also want to thank Sunshine Dixon for making possible our work in the Victory Village Marketplace. Our booth would have been nothing without Jared White & Miranda Harnish holding it down. Jared has been a huge support in mobilizing this project.

Chase Spross ran the XRAY broadcast from our booth. His tech-minded optimism goes beyond just "support." It's a morale boost for everyone.

And a special thanks goes to the musicians! We had such luminary players come through our booth. Some spoke with the general public. Some came on air. We appreciate all that were present: Calvin Walker, Larry Krall, Randy Monroe, Roy Holmes, Bruce Smith, Leslie White, Norman Sylvester, J.W. Friday, Thurtis Channel, Danny Osborne, Rob Manning, Bob Stoutenberg, Narvy James, Kenny Polson, Ural Thomas, Ricky Brame...and others I am surely forgetting.

U.S. Open tee times 2017: Pairings and start time for Thursday's opening round

One of golf’s major tournaments makes its Wisconsin debut at Erin Hills.

Two months have passed since Sergio Garcia validated a long, storied career by donning the green jacket as winner of this year’s Masters. The question now is whether the Spaniard can roll that momentum into victory at a second straight major.

Garcia is just one member of a stacked field at the 2017 U.S. Open. The tournament begins Thursday morning when every member of the World Golf Ranking’s top 10 tees off in the quest to raise the championship trophy. Dustin Johnson, last year’s winner, is the early favorite to walk off the course with his second major victory on the PGA Tour.

Garcia and Johnson won’t just have to fend off a challenge from fellow tour veterans. The U.S. Open allows any golfer with a USGA membership and handicap to try his hand at qualifying for one of the game’s most prestigious events. Thirteen amateurs dot the 156-man field, each trying to build a name by lasting through Friday’s cuts — or even sneaking into contention as Sunday’s final round dawns.

One big name likely to miss this week’s action is Phil Mickelson. The five-time major winner needs a U.S. Open win to complete a career Grand Slam, but while he’s on the start list, it would take an act of nature to get him to the course. He’ll be attending his daughter’s graduation in San Diego just two hours before his slated tee time at Erin Hills in Wisconsin. Without a minimum three-hour weather delay, he’ll miss his opportunity to hit the links this weekend.

He’d lose out on the chance to play in the Badger State’s first major PGA event. Erin Hills was a cow pasture back in 2004, but years of dedication and hard work have turned the slice of America’s Dairyland into golf paradise. The course’s combination of long American holes, Scottish links-style layout, and the long, unforgiving fescue for which the U.S. Open is known made it an easy choice to host the 2017 event.

The course has already earned its share of complaints, which means Thursday’s opening round should be appointment viewing. Here’s a full list of tee times and pairings as the tournament begins play. All listed times are Eastern.

2017 U.S. Open field: Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy lead qualifiers at Erin Hills

The U.S. Open is a biggest field in golf and a democratic mix of long-shot qualifiers, amateurs, and the biggest stars in the game.

The U.S. Open field is arguably the most democratic in golf. It is truly open, with almost half the field reserved for those working their way through the qualifying process. This year, the qualifiers are exactly half the field, with 78 earning a spot through sectional qualifying and the other 78 getting in via the USGA’s usual 14 exemptions. There may be a late withdrawal on Thursday that alters that balance but more on that in a minute.

The 156-man field is the biggest in golf. The Open Championship and PGA Championship match that size, but none is bigger. It’s a logistical challenge for the USGA, but one they’ve learned to master over the years. The course is jammed with threesomes using split tees for sun-up to sundown golf over the first two rounds. Even when we get a major wash-out, like last year at Oakmont, where Thursday featured minimal golf, the USGA can still hustle to get this massive field back on track for a Sunday night finish.

Here’s the group that did not have to go through the qualifying process. The last addition was Chris Wood, who moved into the Top 60 in the world this week and rounded out the exemptions at 78. Each player is listed under the first exemption they fulfill — for example, Jordan Spieth is exempt four different ways, but listed under the first one as a U.S. Open Champion from the past 10 years. The USGA is the least forgiving to its past champs — the other three grant lifetime exemptions (British Open winners are exempt to age 60, which is close to a golf lifetime). Next year will be Tiger Woods’ final exempt year triggered by his 2008 U.S. Open win at Torrey Pines, but the UGSA is almost certain to give him something they call a "special exemption" due to his history of success and status at the national championship.

In order to qualify for the U.S. Open, all you need is a small entry fee ($175 last year) and a USGA handicap index not exceeding 1.4. The entries usually approach 10,000 for local qualifying, and that’s whittled down to 12 sectional qualifying sites -- 10 in the United States, one in Japan, and one in Great Britain. The spots open at each sectional vary from site to site. The Columbus sectional always opens up the biggest swath of spots because of all the PGA Tour talent coming over from the nearby Memorial the day prior. Some sectionals have as few as three spots.

The alternate list is always a bit of mystery, too, with players just missing the cutoff at sectionals getting an alternate status to fill out the field the week of the championship. No one ever really knows how they sort the alternates or pick and choose which ones get in from which sectional. This year, six alternates got in and one more, Roberto Diaz, may join the field on Thursday. Diaz is the next man up if Phil Mickelson cannot make his Thursday afternoon tee time, which is likely. Mickelson will need a four-hour delay, at least, in order to get from his daughter’s graduation in Southern California to Wisconsin for his tee time. Here are your sectional qualifiers, a strong mix of PGA Tour regulars, amateur superstars, and longshot pros.

2017 U.S. Open: Tee times and pairings for Rounds 1 and 2

Dustin Johnson is looking to repeat at the event that made him one of golf’s most important players.

The 2016 U.S. Open marked Dustin Johnson’s ascendance from rising prospect to bonafide star. Could the 2017 tournament be a similar career-building moment for one of the game’s budding athletes?

No major PGA event provides an opportunity as grand as the Open, which allows any professional, amateur, or USGA member to try their hand at qualifying for the 156-person field. This year, the list of regional qualifiers includes veteran Steve Stricker, who needed a 12-under showing to ensure Erin Hills would have a local Wisconsinite for its first-ever U.S. Open hosting gig.

Stricker and a handful of unknown hopefuls will join a loaded field that includes past champions like Johnson, Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy, and Martin Kaymer. Other World Golf Rankings top five players Jason Day, Hideki Matsuyama, and Sergio Garcia will be there as well.

Johnson is the early favorite to repeat as champion, but 2017’s stacked field means there’s no runaway pick to hoist the Open Championship Cup trophy.

This year’s event takes place 40 minutes from Milwaukee on the relatively new Erin Hills golf course. The links have only been open since 2006, but this will be the third significant event to which it has played host. Erin Hills was the site of the 2008 Women’s Amateur Public Links tournament and the 2011 U.S. Amateur Championship.

With no paved cart parts and a “walking only” policy, Erin Hills is a throwback designed for a prestige event like the Open. At 7,800 yards from the tips, the course features four par 5s that clock in over 600 yards, including the gargantuan 18th hole, a 663-yard monster designed to press golfers to their limits at the end of an exhausting round.

But the course isn’t just long; it’s also narrow and unforgiving. Erin Hills occupies a swath of glacially-carved land, leading to rolling hills and an undulating playing surfaces that leaves challenges even after perfect tee shots. Though the course is uniquely American, you can see the Scottish links-style influence throughout its design, which features deep bunkers, limited tree growth, tall rough, and wide greens that offer little respite once you’re putting.

That’s the challenge the world’s best golfers — and a handful of hopeful qualifiers — will face when the first round tees off early Thursday morning. Several interesting pairings are sure to draw big crowds as Wisconsin holds its first Open. Bubba Watson, Adam Scott, and 2017 Masters champion Sergio Garcia will begin their rounds at 2:36 EST Thursday. Day, McIlroy, and Justin Rose, will get an early start at 9:24, Kaymer, Spieth, and Johnson hit the links 11 minutes later.

Here’s a full list of tee times and pairings as the tournament whittles its field down for the championship rounds this weekend. All listed times are Eastern.
