54: The one after they finished the book Scripted by John Ruths and Newell Fisher Well...we did it. We went through the entire 1972 novel in detail, taking just short of a year. About half way through that year, having started out never having podcasted ever before, I hit one of the largest crises of my adult-life, and this podcast was only able to remain weekly as a result of John Ruth's extensive assistance with the script. And when I say "extensive", I mean that he has written most of the words you have heard me say on the podcast since episode 33: The Great River. I really cannot express my gratitude to John enough and hope to become more active in scripting from this point forward. He probably needs a rest!   This, effectively, is the first episode of Season 2 of this podcast.  So...what happens now? I plan to pause for 4 episodes now we  have finished the book. Then the 1978 film version: approximately 20 episodes. After that the sequel 'Tales from WD', published in 1996: about 20 episodes. After that an analysis of the 1999 TV series: about 40 episodes. After that I plan to look at the 2018 Netflix version. And then there is the graphic novel that comes out later this year. It may well be that this podcast, ultimately, has a limited shelf-life as an ongoing current podcast, rather than an archive. If so...so  be it. Is WD an allegory? (John Ruths)   "The simple answer is, no, it is not. In an allegory, the characters, places, and even events represent hidden meaning with moral or political significance.  Animal Farm is a great example of a political allegory--specifically, the Russian Revolution.     However, in WD the characters are more archetypal and many of them are personifications.  We get characters that represent basic character types: Hazel:  I'd say that Hazel is leadership personified.  Now, our Hazel does not necessarily have all of the typical leader tropes.  He's not the biggest or the strongest.  He's not even the smartest!  Hazel is smart, and he starts off as a rabbit who would have likely ended up in the Sandleford Warren Owsla.  Fiver:  The seer and visionary.  Without his initial vision, there would not have been a reason for our small band to leave Sandleford in the first place.  Most likely, most of them would have stopped running. They continue and they continue to pay off for our group of rabbits that eventually grow into a successful warren.  Fiver is also highly intuitive but Richard Adams makes it a point to make another rabbit that we'll discuss even smarter.   Bigwig:  Strength personified.  He represents brute strength and I'd also say tenacity.  Bigwig is not only the best fighter in Watership Down, he's really the best fighter in the entire novel.  He demonstrates his strength on many occasions in the book and he has a never-give-up attitude.  Dandelion:  Dandelion is two things and I've always found charm in this.  Of course, we know that Dandelion is the fastest rabbit so represents speed personified.  But he's also the bard of our band of rabbits.  Without a written language, rabbits pass their history and beliefs onto future generations via stories.  Bluebell:  Well, Bluebell is the other rabbit who can spin a good story.  But we also know that Bluebell is also the jokester of our rabbits.  In this way, he also represents a fairly archetypal character type and that is the jester. Blackberry:  Intelligence personified.  He's clearly the smartest and can conceptualize things that no other rabbit can.   Kehaar:  Not so much archetypal but maybe more of a character trope, Kehaar represents the exotic and knowledgeable foreigner.   Once again, just some thoughts on if the novel could be considered an allegory.  No, but it does have some ingredients that real allegories often have.  It is easy to see how someone can incorrectly classify it in this way." --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/watershipdown/message

45: Chapter 43. The Great Patrol This episode is dedicated to Samantha the Wonder Dog, who John Ruths sadly lost this week. John Ruth's notes on this chapter are really good and for this episode I have decided not to edit them at all. The removed cultural perspective of this chapter makes this seem appropriate. Chapter 43. The Great Patrol The pre-chapter quote is from Napoleon by Walter de la Mare. It's clearly about the French Army in Russia. This was as much a disaster for Napoleon and his Army as it was for the German Army many years later. In this case, I'd compare the French Army to the Efrafans. This chapter also tells the Efrafan side of things from the moment that the little punt floated down the Test and concludes when the Efrafans are ready to begin their attack on WD. The successful escape made the Efrafan Owsla look stupid and its success may be giving other frustrated Efrafan rank and file rabbits hope. Woundwort stayed up most of that night devising his own plans. So, while our heroes floated to freedom, Woundwort was already preparing a counterstroke! Woundwort makes an interesting comment about Vervain knowing what the marks are saying about the escape. Vervain is in charge of the Owslafa. We get to see how Woundwort is among his rabbits within the systems that he devised. He's pretty civil overall but does use his influence to get his way. Woundwort decides to pick his best rabbits and conduct some reconnaissance. Campion and his patrol come back now knowing where WD is. Woundwort is not one to rush to failure. Rather, the Efrafans will train for this mission, even taking on volunteers from the rank and file. This is smart and prevents Efrafa from emptying out too many valued Owsla members. Woundwort even makes a more full reconnaissance trip near WD with Campion and two other Owsla. - 26 or 27 rabbits are chosen. Interesting because we know that there are a total of 26 rabbits in WD. This very large Wide Patrol heads to WD. Woundwort's personal touch is seen everywhere. He leads personally, decisively deals with a couple of stoats, and just seems to know what to do in every situation. At one point, the large group are broken down into smaller parts for more effective command and control. We've seen this before and this is much like the WD rabbits when they were en route to Efrafa. After they'd more or less made the trip, Woundwort orders his large group of rabbits to take rest until sunset. So far, all has gone well. Then something serious slips. Local mice and yellowhammers see the rabbits. We, of course, know that this word gets to Hazel and this leads to the quick scouting by Holly and Blackavar. Suddenly, the rabbits of WD know about the Efrafans and there will be no surprise attack as previously planned. This does not deter Woundwort. Woundwort and his Efrafans have crossed their own Rubicon. The attack will happen soon. As the Efrafans are preparing for this, we now intersect the ending of the last chapter when Hazel was above ground looking for them. Hazel is nearby and makes his way to a group that Woundwort himself is with. - Hazel and Woundwort talk. It's clear that Woundwort thinks that Bigwig is the Chief Rabbit and that Hazel must be some trusted messenger. Woundwort drives the conversation and makes his inevitable judgment error when Hazel proposes something that sets these two apart as warren leaders. Woundwort will not be seen to cooperate with the same warren that essentially stole from him. After this conversation, Campion offers to kill Hazel, however, Woundwort will use Hazel in his own brand of psychological warfare. Hazel heads back to WD. Woundwort chooses to make Hazel his 'fear messenger' having no idea that he has made another critical error. He let live his adversary who is better at leading a warren than Woundwort was ever capable of. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/watershipdown/message

Some time after the Civil War, a stagecoach hurtles through the wintry Wyoming landscape. Bounty hunter John Ruth and his fugitive captive Daisy Domergue race towards the town of Red Rock, where Ruth will bring Daisy to justice. Along the road, they encounter Major Marquis Warren (an infamous bounty hunter) and Chris Mannix (a man who claims to be Red Rock's new sheriff). Lost in a blizzard, the bunch seeks refuge at Minnie's Haberdashery. When they arrive they are greeted by unfamiliar faces: Bob, who claims to be taking care of the place while Minnie is gone; Oswaldo Mobray, the hangman of Red Rock; Joe Gage, a cow puncher; and confederate general Sanford Smithers. As the storm overtakes the mountainside, the eight travelers come to learn that they might not make it to Red Rock after all...   So this week we're looking at “The Hateful 8” released in 2015 and directed by Quinton Tarintino , and enjoying some Posion Coffee.   As always, drive safe, drink responsibly, and keep watching movies!!

Many experts have been on Money Life recently saying that the classic 60 percent stocks/40 percent bonds portfolio doesn't work; some have suggested changing the mix of holdings that make those percentages, others have recommended making stocks 70 or 80 percent of a standard portfolio. Today on Money Life, John Ruth, chief executive officer at Build Asset Management, suggests turning the entire equation upside down, making the bond portion the heavy part, and using options to help returns be more stable and predictable in all market conditions. Also on the show, Melanie Lieberman of ThePointsGuy.com discusses a survey showing that half of Americans not only plan to take a summer vacation but will spend big doing it, David Trainer of New Constructs puts Netflix -- which he calls 'the original meme stock' - back in the Danger Zone, and David Miller of the Catalyst Mutual Funds talks about insider buying/selling and its impact on stocks in the Market Call.

Después de algo de ruido y cacareo, es que llegó a nuestras carteleras la Octava Película de Quentin Tarantino (la octava si no contamos cosas de su filmografía, desde luego) en donde se da gusto y hace lo que siempre ha querido: películas ambientadas en el Oeste… pero que distan del manejo tradicional y ambientación del western tradicional.

Poco después de la Guerra Civil Estadounidense el cazarecompensas John Ruth (Kurt Russell) y su captura, la peligrosa Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leight) van camino al poblado de Red Rock a hacer lo que todo cazarecompensas con su presa hacen. En el camino se encuentran con el Mayor Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson en lo que es probablemente la mejor actuación de su carrera) y al Sheriff Chris Mannix (Walton Goggins). Más por necesidad que por gusto es que John Ruth comparte transporte y estancia con estos y otros coloridos personajes en una cabaña en medio de una terrible tormenta de nieve. El encierro y los intereses particulares saldrán a flote para mostrar el verdadero color de más de ocho personajes. Es interesante el ver como dos cintas de directores tan distintos como Iñárritu y Tarantino tienen cosas en común, además de sus fechas de lanzamiento. El principal atributo en ambas cintas tiene que ver con la forma en que fueron hechas, así como el entorno en que se desarrollan las historias. Algunos se atreverían a decir que ambos directores tienen cierta megalomanía y exceso de ego en común, pero mejor enfoquémonos en las cintas. Con el paso del tiempo, las últimas cintas de Tarantino muestran como ha mejorado en su manejo del lenguaje cinematográfico el ya de por sí dotado realizador. Desafortunadamente sus dos últimos trabajos (Django Unchained y The Hateful Eight) han mostrado su caída a ser un realizador autocomplasciente, lo cual lo pone en una delgada línea en la cual uno puede llegar a odiarlo o admirarlo. Mientras que su manejo de la historia en Django me dejó insatisfecho, su tratamiento de la violencia y sus consecuencias fue uno de los mejores del cine reciente. ¿Qué pasa con The Hateful Eight? La sustancia le gana al fondo, y los rumores a la realización. El camino para la realización de su octava cinta (octava si contamos los dos Volúmenes de Kill Bill como una sola e ignoramos My Best Friend's Birthday y sus trabajos colaborativos como Four Rooms y Grindhouse) fue un tanto controversial. La filtración del guión por parte del agente de uno de sus actores hizo que decidiera cancelar la realización ya que “la gente ya sabía de qué trataba”. Después decidió adaptar la historia a obra de teatro y tras tener una lectura del guión, Samuel L. Jackson le dio de cachetadas de razón y lo convenció que tenía que hacer la película, esto debido a la buena recepción que tuvo dicha lectura. Para llevarla a cabo como algo “más grande que el cine tradicional” es que decide filmarla en Ultrapanavision, en gloriosos 70 milímetros de celuloide, de esos que no se usaban plenamente desde los sesentas y que muestra más imagen que el Imax tradicional usado por Nolan o Thomas Anderson. El uso de los 70 milímetros podría aprovecharse para mostrar imágenes increíbles. Nolan lo usaba para tomas abiertas en su mayoría y transmitirnos una sensación de realidad en su Ciudad Gótica o una sensación claustrofóbica en las cloa
