Charlie said that he and his followers were not hippies. Hippies wanted peace. Charlie wanted violence. The name slippies was because they were slipping out of society. The big one where they mess with your brain and tell you to do stuff was CIA’s experimentation mind control using LSD was called MKULTRA. The goal was to give someone drugs, specifically LSD, without the subject knowing what was going on. Then the CIA would tell people who were under the influence of LSD, and who would never commit murder while sober, to kill someone and have them commit murder and they had no memory of it after. Charlie didn’t write songs for others. He did write songs and he played guitar and sang. He had a decent singing voice. One song that Charlie wrote was given by Charlie to Dennis Wilson because Charlie and The Family had lived with Dennis for a few months. That cost Dennis about $100,000 because they trashed the house stole anything that was of value, wrecked cars Dennis had given them, and Dennis paid for their food, clothes, etc. Charlie gave his song to Dennis as repayment for the money Dennis spent on them. All royalties were to go to Dennis. That’s how the repayment worked. Charlie told Dennis not to change the lyrics. Dennis changed the title and quite a bit of the lyrics to make it into a song that Beach Boys fans would like. Charlie was irate when he found out. The title of the song as Charlie wrote it was Cease to Exist. Dennis changed the title to Never Learn Not to Love and he changed “cease to exist” to “cease to resist”. The only other Charlie song that I know of that was recorded by other artists was Look at Your Game Girl. It’s on Guns ‘n’ Roses album The Spaghetti Incident. Sharon Tate’s sister Patti was livid that one of Charlie’s songs had been recorded by Guns ‘n’ Roses. She was also angry at Axl Rose because he often wore t-shirts with Charlie’s picture on them. She said that he was bringing up an interest in Charlie in young people who didn’t know about the murders and stuff. She said that Charlie should not be portrayed in a positive light. That song is still on that album but it isn’t included in the list of song titles. Helter Skelter by Vincent Bugliosi cannot be trusted. There are things that happened that weren’t in the book. There were things that didn’t happen that were in the book. VB embellished things, used his imagination on some things. He actually told witnesses what they should say and wrote it out for Linda Kasabian. At that time Linda was in protected custody in a jail cell because there was a very legitimate concern that her life was in danger from other members who weren’t in jail. Linda’s 2 babies were in foster care during the trial and she wanted to get them back so she did as she was told. If she hadn’t she could lose her immunity and be tried for her part of the crime including driving, disposing of bloody clothing, and wiping the blood off the knives and threw them out of the car. She was at the very least an accessory. If she’d lost her immunity she would have gone on trial, been convicted, spent years in prison, and wouldn’t have been able to live with her children. VB was a mess. Signs of mental illness. Narcissist. I don’t consider him to be a reliable source. My personal motive list that is not up for debate is: 1. Drugs, more specifically drug burns. It was out on the grapevine that those who dealt drugs from that house burned people on drug deals frequently. 2. Money. Charlie had a few things going on and he needed money. 3. Copycat killings. 2 weeks prior Bobby Beausoleil killed Gary Hinman because Hinman was supposed to have money according to Charlie and Charlie wanted that money but Gary never came up with it. Bobby had written on the wall in Gary’s blood and included a paw print in an attempt to implicate the Black Panthers. Bobby was in jail for Gary’s murder. The girls thought that if they did copycat killings that police would think the real killer was still out there and they’d let Bobby go. (This is also called “for love of brother”. 4. Revenge for drug burns at the Tate house and for a grudge Charlie was holding against the LaBiancas. 5. A little bit of Helter Skelter.

My theory is that MAYBE the disconnect and lack of flow in the entire season is to reflect the disconnect between all the characters happening at the time. They’ve always been very intentional about stuff like that so maybe it’s not a mistake that this season feels a little disjointed because that seems to reflect that’s going on between all of the characters. The disconnect between Carmy and literally everyone (esp Syd and Richie) and even Sydney feeling disconnected from The Bear altogether. I’m probably giving them too much credit but it kind of makes sense!
@V.H.Silva8928 күн бұрын
Yeah, this is a great reason to put an explanation behind the "mess". Maybe this is really the intention. But that doesn't matter if the episodes end up suffering anyways. It all felt like chaos for chaos sake. And also the first 2 seasons brought all this chaos elements and used them perfectly to drive the narrative in sync with the characters and their emotions. This season doesn't really have a driving force. And these effects are now kinda not so fresh. Take the hospital episode for an example. I can clearly see why it was structured the way it was. Make us go through it with the characters and make us feel it all without giving us relief. But for me it became too tiring after a point. Even with the amazing performances, it lost the effect it had on me when it was ending. Finale didn't work for me also. The confrontation between carmy and the his mentor chef was great. But that's it. People just sitting around and explaining things? Felt more like a not so great infomercial than a finale of one of the best tv shows to come recently.

how much did anyone's story / character progress in this season? The only one whose life had any major change was sugar. This season was literally all flashbacks and arguing. Carmy is still stuck between wanting to be the best the only way he knows how and wanting to be a better person, and still just lost the love of his life and not sure what to do with that. Syd is still trying to decide whether she can actually grow when Carmy is a control freak (yes she's presented with an opportunity to leave but hasn't actually done anything with it). Marcus didn't change at all this season after his mom passed. Ritchie is still just trying to carve out his place in the restaurant and be a good father. Literally I can go into season 4 right after season 2 and I don't think I would notice.

I'm sure that's what they were going for, but it was unsatisfying from a viewers pov. They over relied on montages, a few episodes were pretty much just long montages broken up by short conversation scenes. Characters all seemed to stagnate this season, to the point it just felt like the show was spinning its wheels going nowhere. For example, stuff like Uncle Jimmy giving motivational speeches to light a fire under them, which were effective in season 2, just seemed repetitive in this season. Also there weren't any top tier episodes like Fishes or Forks in this season I get that's a high bar they set but it's still disappointing.

I'm pretty disappointed in this season. I liked a couple of episodes, but I think it was a setup for the next season. I thought the plot was the crew's journey towards a Michelin Star, bu we didn' get the payoff. We didn't see the review, Carmy and Sidney's relationship regressed, and Sidney didn't announce her decision.
I guess I'm in the minority because I had no problem with the season. That being said, I knew they filmed s3 and 4 together, so I was prepared for a Dune part 1 situation. I dont think the quality is lower, it's just incomplete. I have a feeling s3 will be judged easier as time goes on.
The whole of season 3 is just sooo bad. I only liked the 1st episode.
sorry i agree but im just distracted by how you dont know john cena's name
right!?!?!?
Have you seen it yet after you posted this video? @readtotheend
Not yet. Will do a review though when I do.

You're an idiot.
My theory is that MAYBE the disconnect and lack of flow in the entire season is to reflect the disconnect between all the characters happening at the time. They’ve always been very intentional about stuff like that so maybe it’s not a mistake that this season feels a little disjointed because that seems to reflect that’s going on between all of the characters. The disconnect between Carmy and literally everyone (esp Syd and Richie) and even Sydney feeling disconnected from The Bear altogether. I’m probably giving them too much credit but it kind of makes sense!
Yeah, this is a great reason to put an explanation behind the "mess". Maybe this is really the intention. But that doesn't matter if the episodes end up suffering anyways. It all felt like chaos for chaos sake. And also the first 2 seasons brought all this chaos elements and used them perfectly to drive the narrative in sync with the characters and their emotions. This season doesn't really have a driving force. And these effects are now kinda not so fresh. Take the hospital episode for an example. I can clearly see why it was structured the way it was. Make us go through it with the characters and make us feel it all without giving us relief. But for me it became too tiring after a point. Even with the amazing performances, it lost the effect it had on me when it was ending. Finale didn't work for me also. The confrontation between carmy and the his mentor chef was great. But that's it. People just sitting around and explaining things? Felt more like a not so great infomercial than a finale of one of the best tv shows to come recently.
That would be awesome. I'll definitely watch it again a few times to see if more comes out. I had to watch "Fishes" like six times before I noticed all the religious imagery.
I started watching this movie the other day thinking it would be sort of like Minority Report just based on the vague description. I did not finish it.
i disliked this movie. the level of woke bothered me, especially because its everywhere. I sometimes wish i was born longer ago so i wouldn't be a weird conservative Christian 15 year old, but here we are. i remember ALL my friends being completely obsessed with this movie and i had to just play along [ all my friends are woke ]. This movie is trash, period.
Did we need to know if you do or don't sort the 'ideology'?
Might have been irrelevant. But it was more to point out that you can disagree with the subject of art but still appreciate the artistry. I don't want people to think having a trans or gay character impacts the quality of the storytelling negatively in any way.
The third season is fucking great. If people "don't get it" then they're not fucking paying attention lol. Sucks to suck.
I'll watch it at least ten times. I'm sure there's more to pick up but this is a first watch.
I absolutely HATED it. I figured that they butchered the original story to force the woke "trans" nonsense into the storyline, but the original Heinlein story seems to be just as bad.
Not nobody, I saw it twice. Film of the year.
I to seen it twice, and it still a great experiance.
Some of the characters yelling and screaming started to get on my nerves. Didn't enjoy it as much as the first two seasons but it was ok.
Define "woke"
Condemning something as oppressive until you control it. Substituting a victim hierarchy instead of a meritocratic hierarchy. Pretending to be offended to gain money and influence. A relentless dialectic based on Marxian admonitions to ruthlessly criticize all that is. Stupid.
@@readtotheend Nice try.
how much did anyone's story / character progress in this season? The only one whose life had any major change was sugar. This season was literally all flashbacks and arguing. Carmy is still stuck between wanting to be the best the only way he knows how and wanting to be a better person, and still just lost the love of his life and not sure what to do with that. Syd is still trying to decide whether she can actually grow when Carmy is a control freak (yes she's presented with an opportunity to leave but hasn't actually done anything with it). Marcus didn't change at all this season after his mom passed. Ritchie is still just trying to carve out his place in the restaurant and be a good father. Literally I can go into season 4 right after season 2 and I don't think I would notice.
I feel that. I found the table with all the chefs in the season finale pretentious
All good points.
I would love to deep dive that!
I've worked in food service for darn near 40 of the near 50 years of my life. This is, while still fictional, hands down the closest I've ever seen on film or TV to what this life is like. Started watching it last week with my husband's friends last week. And I said "This show is me. This is my life. I've been every character." - The s1 episode where they loose power and freek out about the food? Yea. That happened to me. I grew up in Ohio. So the Midwest Chicago setting still screams home to me too. I swear when season 1 dropped, I talked about it to everyone and some peeps got it and most ignored me and I had a hard time finding anyone on you tube talking about it. S2 got a lot more attention! Wow. Been so weird to watch this thing blow up that I loved 3 years ago and no one knew about.
That's awesome. I'll try to do a full episode by episode discussion. This show deserves it. And it would be fun to talk about.
Jeremy allen white got pioular for hus role in Shameless. Hes insanely good at playing characters who are stressed out angry assholes but have a sense of hunor and likeability to them lol
Agreed
wha people dont understand about this season is how it relates to actually working in a Michelin star restaurant, talking from experience is literally how this season feels, you feel empty, disconnected from the world, you are a shell of a human, working just for perfection, you loose the focus on what you love and what your passion is, you are just a machine looking for perfection and nothing more, theres nothing like it
Exactly!
There's no way that much subordination, screaming, frantic panicky self indulgence would EVER fly in a Michelin restaurant. I worked in fine dining for many years. That shit would be nipped in the bud immediately. You cannot function as a team with such weak leadership & hostility in the work environment.
I'm sure that's what they were going for, but it was unsatisfying from a viewers pov. They over relied on montages, a few episodes were pretty much just long montages broken up by short conversation scenes. Characters all seemed to stagnate this season, to the point it just felt like the show was spinning its wheels going nowhere. For example, stuff like Uncle Jimmy giving motivational speeches to light a fire under them, which were effective in season 2, just seemed repetitive in this season. Also there weren't any top tier episodes like Fishes or Forks in this season I get that's a high bar they set but it's still disappointing.
@@taddy_mason4197 the montages where clearly overdone, for me it felt that horrible despair of just being a workaholic but I do understand the criticism specially Claire was horribly overdone, they talk about her like she is the only person that can save the world, it’s just a clear set up season I think next season will be action packed
@@benjaminz2523 LOL i worked in Michelin stars in US, Spain and a couple other countries, the only thing that is crazy is the insubordination, the screaming in the show is subdued compared to the real thing, theres literal fist fights in the kitchen at least once a month, executive chefs are usually more like Olivia colman, but CDC are exactly like Carmen and thats thee problem with the Bear, he doesnt let Sydney really be the CDC, and you see that a lot too, Chefs not knowing how to step into the Executive position and stop cooking and just create while the CDC takes control over the kitchen
I have had the pleasure of eating at EMP and I must say it was one of the best experiences I have ever had. I suggest everyone eat there at least once in their life.
Was it before or after they went Vegan?
I think the trouble with the writers of the Bear is that they're too good at writing characters, to the point where it's going to become increasingly hard to write any future episodes because of how much needs to be balanced at any time (semi) jokes aside, the Bear has got such a grip on me and has left me so, delightfully, hungry for more it's a constant consensual anxiety attack with such a fun and human group of people that I will gladly get back on the bandwagon yearly as a summer tradition Also it really makes me want to go the Chicago lmao
It is my understanding that s4 is likely the last season. And I'm good with that if they end this as amazingly as each season has been. Stories need a start and a finish. TV is bad for wanting to milk the cash cow of success. I respect clear starts and finishes.
e1 doesn't cover one restaurant in Copenhagen. its about 4 different restaurants, The French Laundry (Thomas Keller) in Napa, Ever in Chicago (Chef Terry - Olivia Coleman), EMPIRE in NY (Chef David Fields - Joel McHale), and NOMA in Copenhagen.
Awesome. Thanks
Oh I thought the NY restaurant was Eleven Madison Park
Furiosa falls into an undeserving trap of being part of a cultural wave, but her story is not of that. When I watch Furiosa I don't feel like I'm watching a girl boss female protagonist, I feel like I'm watching a human being with a compelling story. That's a big difference.
Calling the movie "kind of a spin off or sequel or prequel to Fury Road" when it's so clearly a DIRECT PREQUEL lol. Hilarious lack of research in the first 40 seconds.
Very good movie. I enjoyed it all the way ❤
The movie failed because deep inside, we all know that these female leads are nothing but Mary Sues, not credible at all. They posit the man as bad and women as virtuous and courageous, and these attributes will give them superpowers. We all know that is bs, and naturally rejected it.
Thankfully I hear the movie doesn't go that direction.
I liked the movie. People are sick of the girl boss messaging from the past ten plus years of Hollywood. So people on mass seen the advertising and said no thanks. People also did review bomb it for the same reason without watching it. I hope people watch it
