Taken together — and combined with the melancholy closing credits image of James's Uncle Ed, eating Double R 2 Go soup out of a cup while pining for his ex-lover Norma — what we're left with is the feeling that the older citizens of Twin Peaks are clinging to their past glories, while trying in vain to stave off the shoddier modern world.
Not since the iniquity of Hitler and Mussolini have we witnessed such a resurgence of hatred against the Other, even as the United States — one of the countries that led the fight against fascism — is now governed by men who would turn back the clock, and use repression rather than persuasion to obliterate so many gains and glories we took for granted.
For more on the glories of Boxing Day commercialism, check out the following comedy sketch from the British Columbia comedy troupe LoadingReadyRun, in which a man and a puppet discuss the "true meaning of Boxing Day" with help from a rather disturbing children's book: Though not nearly at the same level as Christmas or even Thanksgiving, Boxing Day does get its pop cultural representation.
But at E3 2017, we had very little of that: just the announcement of a new South Park game, a trailer for a new Alto game, Alto's Odyssey, and the utterly inexcusable travesty that is Garfield Go. Compare that against the glories of Anthem or that gorgeous Beyond Good & Evil 2 trailer, which showed zero gameplay, but was still thrilling to watch and appreciate.
The remnants of ancient faiths and previous glories touch the edges of the frame; echoes of the Vili people of the Kingdom of Loango, maybe, who traded their copper, finely carved objets d'art, and luxurious fabrics with the people of Holland, a historical memory that is here transmuted—but somehow not reduced—into a tablecloth patterned with flowers and a Dutch windmill that turns no more.
This club includes, but is not limited to: the Books' mesmerizingly erudite The Lemon of Pink, J Dilla's accidentally elegiac posthumous classic Donuts, the Pet Sounds-as-SAD Lamp musings of Panda Bear's Person Pitch, The Tough Alliance's aggressive Cassavetes-quoting A New Chance, Air France's utopian No Way Down EP, the Jonathan Richman-with-an-MPC glories of Jens Lekman's Night Falls on Kortedala.
Thus the only plausible approach for Catholicism is to offer itself, not as a chaplaincy within modern liberalism, but as a full alternative culture in its own right — one that reclaims the inheritance on display at the Met, glories in its own weirdness and supernaturalism, and spurns both accommodations and entangling alliances (including the ones that conservative Catholics have forged with libertarian-inflected right-wing political movements).
Or, perhaps, you were a bit younger than the intended demographic, but had a cool older sister or babysitter to clue you into the glories of all things MK & A. While we might be a bit fuzzy on the flicks' PG-rated screwball sister-act plot lines, we certainly remember fawning over the matching ensembles Mary-Kate and Ashley wore both on-screen and in their adorable red carpet appearances.
More novel toppings may include crumbled Oreos, advertised on the sign with a winking parenthetical: "(Merica!)" At the end of each night, I found myself surrounded by people nibbling helixes of skewered potato slices; gawking as strips of dough were wrapped in spirals around fat metal cylinders to make kurtoskalacs, Transylvanian cakes traditionally roasted over a spit; and extolling the glories of moffles, waffles made with mochiko (glutinous rice flour).
The ball of your heel is planted, the arch of your foot rolls with the shape of the terrain, and your toes launch you forward into the majesty of bipedal locomotion: an evolutionary triumph that has freed our hands to build and throw and gather, granting us the means to leave our past in the confines of the jungle and set our sights on the unconquered glories of the open savannah.
Cuarón himself is the director of photography on the movie, which glories in its tranquil surveys of domestic space, with the camera panning round the living room, and in the tracking shots that usher us through the action—left to right, right to left, to and fro, along furrowed fields and crowded avenues, as if the filmmaker were trying to keep pace with his thoughts while they carry him into the past.
Still, Mr. Macron is taking aim at an institution that — for all its glories and faults — comes close to representing the soul of France itself, a representation of the permanent state indifferent to the winds of politics ever since Emperor Napoleon III provided a state guarantee of interest to bondholders in 1852, and instructed Georges-Eugene Haussmann to give the marbled palaces of railway stations an honored place in his redesign of Parisian boulevards.
MTM pushed Bochco off the series in its fifth season, and while the show ran until season seven without him (under the tutelage of his protege David Milch, himself a major TV influence), it never quite recaptured the glories of its early days, when it looked radically different from everything else on TV. To watch Hill Street in 21997 is to find it a little quaint — TV drama has evolved considerably since then — but it's impossible to imagine almost any drama on the air now without nodding toward the influence of this one series.
Each of the projects in this issue represents both the perils of an on-the-job education and proof of the glories of going off-piste, whether it's Tom Dixon's 11,000-square-foot Brutalist mansion teetering on the cliffs above Monaco, the furniture and product designer's first built-from-scratch home, or the New York-based creative director Dennis Freedman's 100-plus-piece collection of post-1960s Italian radical design furniture and objects, begun when few others were interested in the field, or the Milan-based Dimore Studio's 1960s house in the hills above Florence, which they converted into a Modernist fever dream after a protracted battle with local authorities.
