'Public Enemies' - Michael Mann and Johnny Depp Take on John Dillinger

‘Public Enemies’ – Michael Mann and Johnny Depp Take on John Dillinger

“The reason you caught me, Will, is we’re just alike! You want the scent? Smell yourself!” -Dr. Hannibal Lecktor (Brian Cox) speaking to Will Graham (William Peterson) from a scene in Michael Mann’s “Manhunter.” After all these years, Michael Mann still has a strong fascination with criminal masterminds and those who spend their careers chasing them down. Film after film, he has spent his time…

THOM HARTMANN: Science Explains Why Republicans Can’t Accept Trump’s Guilt (Sept. 12, 2023)

Scientists discovered a fascinating reason why Republicans can’t accept criticism of Donald Trump. Thom explains.

In the above video, Thom Hartmann refers to a Raw Story column by cognitive neuroscientist Bobby Azarian, PhD (shown below):

Here are some excerpts from Azarian's column:

In 2009, a study published in PLOS ONE challenged our understanding of belief systems. Researchers placed participants into the confines of an fMRI scanner and presented them with a mixture of factual and abstract statements. The results were illuminating. Disbelief, it turns out, is cognitively demanding. It requires more mental effort than simply accepting a statement as true. From an evolutionary perspective, this preference for easy belief makes sense; a perpetually skeptical individual questioning every piece of information would struggle to adapt in a fast-paced world. What does all this have to do with Trump supporters? Well, it’s far less cognitively demanding for them to believe anything their leader tells them. Any challenge to what Trump tells them is true takes mental work. This means there is a psychological incentive for Trump loyalists to maintain their loyalty. (I wrote about this phenomenon in a slightly different context in the Daily Beast article "Religious Fundamentalism: A Side Effect of Lazy Brains?") Molding of belief: neuroplasticity at play Now, let's consider the unique predicament faced by individuals who staunchly support Trump and want him to again become president. From the moment Trump began his political career and his social engineering career, his supporters have been exposed to narratives — Trump doesn't lie, Democrats are communists, the media is an enemy of the people — that emphasize loyalty and trust in their political idol. These narratives often steer away from critical examination and instead encourage blind faith. When coupled with the brain's inherent tendency to accept rather than question, it creates an ideal environment for unwavering allegiance. No matter that Trump, time and again, has been revealed to be a serial liar, habitually misrepresenting matters of great consequence, from elections to economics to public health. For example, in the Psychology Today article "Why Evangelicals are Wired to Believe Trump’s Falsehoods," I explain that the children of Christian fundamentalists typically begin to suppress critical thinking at an early age. This is required if one is to accept Biblical stories as literal truth, rather than metaphors for how to live life practically and with purpose. Attributing natural occurrences to mystical causes discourages youth from seeking evidence to back their beliefs. Consequently, the brain structures that support critical thinking and logical reasoning don't fully mature. This paves the way for heightened vulnerability to deceit and manipulative narratives, especially from cunning political figures. Such increased suggestibility arises from a mix of the brain's propensity to accept unverified claims and intense indoctrination. Given the brain's neuroplastic nature, which allows it to shape according to experiences, some religious followers are more predisposed to accept improbable assertions. In other words, our brains are remarkably adaptable and continuously evolving landscapes. For ardent Trump supporters, residing in an environment that prioritizes faith over empirical evidence can reshape the neural circuits within their brains. [color emphasis added]

hey do you perchance have like. idk a beginner's guide to superbat? I think that they're insane (good) but am afraid of actually getting into comics (so many. such a large amount of things. etcetera)

my motto is typically to never get anyone into comics unless I hate them very much but ... sure !

idk what ur entry level knowledge is .... "The Batman/Superman Movie: World's Finest" (1997) is a very good starting point for them, followed by their interactions in the Justice League (2000) and Justice League Unlimited (2001) cartoons.....

another good one is the "Superman/Batman: Public Enemies" (2009) animated movie based off a comic by the same name.

for comics.... honestly ? my favorite superbat comics are the original World's Finest Comics (1941-1986). will cover a lot of superbat content before the lore started getting well. super confusing (still not super clear on what pre-crisis means. fake fan ig). the first issue they appear in together is #71 (which references their first meeting in Superman (1952) #76 - also a cute read). they continue to team up in these comics til the 80s and man. does it get weird. weird and gay.

I might rb this post with more when I think of more comics/cartoons that I feel confident recommending, but this is a good start for now I think :]

R.I.P. KEVIN CONROY - THE VOICE OF BATMAN

I was extremely saddened this morning to learn that Kevin Conroy, the man who  has been THE voice of Batman for thirty years, has passed away from cancer.

Conroy first won over audiences and comic book fans with his spot-on portrayal of Bruce Wayne and Batman in Batman: The Animated Series (1992).  This also the start of the DC Animated Universe.

He continued as Batman in the spin-off animated film, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.  The film was loosely based on the comic book story Batman: Year Two, and is considered by many to be the best Batman film - live-action or animated - ever!

Conroy returned to voice Batman again when The New Batman Adventures (1997) premiered, which - even though it featured different character and production design, was a continuation of B:TAS.

In 1997 there was a three-part World’s Finest crossover between Superman: The Animated Series (1996) and The New Batman Adventures.  Conroy’s Batman met - and briefly fought - Tim Daly’s Superman, before both heroes teamed-up to take down the Joker and Luthor.  This crossover was later complied into the straight-to-video The Batman/Superman Movie: World’s Finest.

This was followed up by Batman Beyond (1999), where Conroy portrayed a much older Bruce Wayne who, very reluctantly, passes on the mantle of Batman to a young successor.

Following that, Conroy and Batman returned to the present day for Justice League (2001) and Justice League Unlimited (2004).

Along the way, Conroy voice Batman for additional, straight-to-video films, video and computer games, and would even record messages on answering machines (remember those?) for friends.

Conroy again returned to the role in the 2009 animated film Superman/Batman: Public Enemies.  Here he was reunited with actor Tim Daly, who returned for the first time as Superman (actor George Newbern voiced Superman in the two Justice League series).

The two men would reprise their roles a year later in the follow-up film Superman/Batman: Apocalypse (2010).

Skip ahead to 2016 and Conroy’s Batman appeared in Justice League Action, a fun-filled, action-packed series that took refused to take itself too seriously while telling great stories.  Conroy was the only original Justice League voice cast member who returned for this series.

The final time I encountered Conroy as Bruce Wayne was in the Arrowverse’s Crisis on Infinite Earths mega-crossover in 2019.   It was a surprising departure from his previous portrayals, as this Bruce Wayne was bitter, deranged, and more than a little homicidal.

It’s a shame to lose a man who has defined Batman, and entertained millions of people, for so long.  However, we are extremely lucky that he left such a large body of work for us to enjoy.

Rest in peace, Kevin Conroy.

The Execution of Tatiana Usmanova:

The Chechen Wars were a string of vicious conflicts between the Russian Federation and the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria. These brutal onslaughts transpired in two stages, from 1994 to 1996 (The First Chechen War) and 1999 to 2009 (The Second Chechen War), producing devastating consequences for the Russian Federation and the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria in terms of significant human suffering, including military and civilian casualties, civilian displacement, and eradicated infrastructure. From 1994 to 2003, as many as 50,000 to 250,000 civilians were killed in the combined Chechen wars, along with thousands more deaths of fighters from both sides.

The spread of technology during the Chechen wars allowed for the filming of various war crimes, and it became a breeding ground for atrocious propaganda footage, mainly by the Chechen rebels. These guerilla warfare-styled fighters employed psychological warfare to strike fear into the hearts of the Russians. One of the tactics they would utilize is recording the executions of captured Russian troops, then leaving the videotape on the body for the enemy to discover. A few of these videos were eventually uploaded on popular snuff hubs like Documenting Reality or Rotten and are considered the original gore videos available to watch online. One such video was the recorded murder of Tatiana Usmanova, which had vanished for some time before emerging on the internet once again.

32-year-old Tatiana Usmanova and her husband, Hassan Edilgireev, lived in the Adreevskaya Dolina village in the Zavodsky district of Grozny. On the evening of October 1st, 2001, Tatiana, Hassan, and her friend, Elena Petrovna Gaevskaya (reportedly paying a visit to the couple), were abducted by five pro-Chechan militants from their home. According to sources, the Chechen militants accused Tatiana of collaborating with local police or other agencies. Tatiana was murdered on camera in front of Hassan, while Elena was shot to death off camera. Hassan was tortured by the rebels; however, they allowed him to live because he was of Chechen descent. All of the killers, except for the cameraman, were around 18 years of age. Tatiana's execution footage was not released to the public until 2004, after the Grozny police obtained the tape, initiating a separate investigation into who was responsible for Tatiana's murder. While everyone who participated was eventually identified, most were already dead.

The killers were identified as:

Islam Chalayev: Killed during an FSB mission in April 2002 Khamzat Tazabaev: Killed during an FSB mission in February 2004 Adlan Barayev: Killed during a special operation in 2004 Arbi Khaskhanov: Official status is unknown (may still be alive) Ilyas Dashaev: Already serving time in prison for past crimes

Sources cite that Ilyas Dashaev was part of the group led by Arbi Barayev, a Chechen warlord who had been explicitly selecting young and ruthless men to join. Dashaev then moved to a different group led by Islam Chalayev at the beginning of 2001. In January 2002, federal troops launched an operation against Dashaev and detained him. By December of that year, the Stavropol Regional Court found him guilty of murdering the heads of administrations for several Chechen villages, and two employees of the Urus-Martanovsky District Department of Internal Affairs, as well as banditry and robbery, earning him a sentence of 20 years in a maximum security penal colony. Finally, in 2007, Ilyas Dashaev was convicted by the Supreme Court of the Chechen Republic of the 2001 murders of Tatiana Usmanova and Elena Petrovna Gaevskaya and was sentenced to an additional 22 years. According to Dashnaev's court testimony, he confessed to brutalizing Tatiana and Elena for talking to authorities and dumping their bodies into a river.

Tatiana's Execution Video:

The footage of Tatiana's execution is 17 minutes and 55 seconds long, and it appears the cameraman recorded with a night vision filter inside a dark basement. Upon starting the video, you see a beaten Tatiana sitting on the dirt floor alongside Hassan, and she's interrogated for the first two minutes, occasionally being hit with a flexible rod. Despite the abuse, Tatiana appeared remarkably composed during the interrogation by the rebels.

From 2:30 to 3:50, one of the captors is seen digging a shallow pit for blood to flow in. The camera interchangeably zooms on Tatiana, and the expression on her face is of pure despondency as it seems there is no way out for her. Around 4:58, she began to panic, pleading for her life while they bound her hands together with tape. The video then cuts to Hassan having tape placed over his mouth before shifting back to Tatiana, who is on the ground with her mouth taped.

One of the rebels presses a combat knife onto her throat, not cutting it, but to practice where to cut. At 6:25, one of the rebels cuts the tape off Tatiana's mouth, and she begins murmuring to them, but what was said is not known. From 8:30 to 9:20, Tatiana has her mouth taped again as the rebels prepare for the killing.

By 9:20, the militants place Tatiana on her side by the hole. One holds her head back to expose her neck, while the other begins to sever her throat. A faint squeal leaves Tatiana's mouth as her throat is carved wide open, and her blood is seen streaming into the hole. The killers also took turns lacerating and holding her down against the dirt until she's finally decapitated. At 9:49, the footage cuts to a black screen, but you can hear the rebels talk amongst each other for about a minute or so before it cuts to Hassan at 11:06.

Hassan's head was covered in lumps and lacerations, indicating that the killers badly beat him. At 11:26, the cameraman walks around Tatiana's beheaded corpse as he laughs. One of the killers can be seen at 12:04 boasting with Tatiana's head in his hand before placing it on the floor. The remaining minutes of the footage show the killers probing Hassan, who appears to be in shock due to what he had witnessed happen to his wife, and then the video concludes.
