The Kenny Chesney song “The Tin Man,” which conjures The Wizard of Oz (1939) in its lyrics, was originally released on April 19th, 1994, on Capricorn Records, suggesting the Goat of Mendes, the leaping goat, the godhead, a year after the Branch Davidian Compound burned to the ground (4/19/93) and a year before the OKC Murrah Building terrorist attack (4/19/95), was re-released on his Greatest Hits album on September 26th, 2000. Forty-two weeks later, on July 23rd, 2001, “The Tin Man” was re-released as a single; its music video was scheduled to be filmed seven weeks later, on September 11th, 2001, in front of the World Trade Center but was canceled a few days beforehand because BNA Records (the new label) did not believe a video was necessary. “The Tin Man,” both the Ozian character and the tune’s name, has a sum of 49 = 72 using reverse Pythagorean reduction.[1] Cinema Symbolism 4, Cinema Symbolism OZ, and Cinema Symbolism Third Edition are coming along splendidly.
[1] T/7 + h/1 + e/4 = 12, T/7 + i/9 + n/4 = 20, M/5 + a/8 + n/4 = 17; 12 + 20 + 17 = 49.
Rob and Vadim continue their fascinating discussion about The Wizard of Oz (1939) and its nexus to the Back to the Future trilogy, John F. Kennedy (1917-1963), and President Donald J. Trump. This is the Russian dub – enjoy!
To honor Samhain 2024, here is a spooky teaser from Cinema Symbolism 4 (coming along nicely).
In The House of the Devil (released on October 30th, 2009, this author’s 38th birthday), unsavory pizza turns up twice, foreshadowing and denoting the repugnant Ullmans (Tom Noonan and Mary Woronov), who hire an awkward college student, Samantha (Jocelin Donahue) to babysit a remote mansion during a lunar eclipse, wherein they plan to supernaturally impregnate her via a satanic rite. Their surname recalls The Shining’s Stuart Ullman (Barry Nelson, 1917-2007), who likewise employed an eccentric Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) to babysit a remote hotel where fiendish ghosts roam its gloomy corridors. In the former film, Greta Gerwig plays Megan, who, while eating greasy pizza at a diner, arms and hands imitate Levi’s Goat of Mendes’ as above, so below occult kinesics since her initials are G.G. = 77, the gesture also seen on July 4th, 1921 photo during the closing moments of Kubrick’s fright flick. Greta was born on August 4th, 1983, a date with a Pythagorean reduced value of 42,[1] the Dark Mother obviously influenced her Ozian tour de force Barbie years later, released on July 21st, 2023 = 7, 777, 7. Easter egg: when Samantha orders a pizza, she is asked if she wants “extra anchovies,” a clever nod to the comedy Loverboy (1989), meaning the deliveryman would be providing a hell of a lot more than pizzas; in The House with the Devil, the guy bringing the pizza is a demonic assassin, keeping a Sauron-like eye on the babysitter.
[1] A/1 + u/3 + g/7 + u/3 + s/1 + t/2 = 17, 4 = 4, 1 + 9 + 8 + 3 = 21; 17 + 4 + 21 = 42.
Dracula’s cane in The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023, left) is modeled after Larry Talbot’s (Lon Chaney Jr., 1906-1973) wolf’s head cane in The Wolf Man (1941, right) because the latter film starred Bela Lugosi (1882-1956), Hollywood’s prototypical vampire, becoming an art of memory trick and a pop culture valence, producing an occult mnemonic. Plus, the Count can turn into a wolf.
Willie the Kid posters are everywhere.
