Chinatown - Original Trailer 1974
"You may think you know what you're dealing with, but believe me, you don't," warns water baron Noah Cross (John Huston), when smooth cop-turned-private eye J.J. "Jake" Gittes (Jack Nicholson) starts nosing around Cross's water diversion scheme. That proves to be the ominous lesson of Chinatown, Roman Polanski's critically lauded 1974 revision of 1940s film noir detective movies. In 1930s Los Angeles, "matrimonial work" specialist Gittes is hired by Evelyn Mulwray (Faye Dunaway) to tail her husband, Water Department engineer Hollis Mulwray (Darrell Zwerling). Gittes photographs him in the company of a young blonde and figures the case is closed, only to discover that the real Mrs. Mulwray had nothing to do with hiring Gittes in the first place. When Hollis turns up dead, Gittes decides to investigate further, encountering a shady old-age home, corrupt bureaucrats, angry orange farmers, and a nostril-slicing thug (Polanski) along the way. By the time he confronts Cross, Evelyn's father and Mulwray's former business partner, Jake thinks he knows everything, but an even more sordid truth awaits him. When circumstances force Jake to return to his old beat in Chinatown, he realizes just how impotent he is against the wealthy, depraved Cross. "Forget it, Jake," his old partner tells him. "It's Chinatown." Reworking the somber underpinnings of detective noir along more pessimistic lines, Polanski and screenwriter Robert Towne convey a '70s-inflected critique of capitalist and bureaucratic malevolence in a carefully detailed period piece harkening back to the genre's roots in the 1930s and '40s. Gittes always has a smart comeback like Humphrey Bogart's Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe, but the corruption Gittes finds is too deep for one man to stop. Other noir revisions, such as Robert Altman's The Long Goodbye (1973) and Arthur Penn's Night Moves (1975), also centered on the detective's inefficacy in an uncertain '70s world, but Chinatown's period sheen renders this dilemma at once contemporary and timeless, pointing to larger implications about the effects of corporate rapaciousness on individuals. Polanski and Towne clashed over Chinatown's ending; Polanski won the fight, but Towne won the Oscar for Best Screenplay. Chinatown was nominated for ten other Oscars, including Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, Cinematography, Art Direction, Costumes, and Score. Jack Nicholson - J.J.

Doug Casey : predictions gold price, and how to profit from the economical turmoil PART 1/2 01/03/2009
Interview on GoldseekRadio.com hosted by Chris Waltzek first week january 09 Doug Casey, Chairman of Casey Research, LLC., is a highly respected author, publisher and professional speculator who literally wrote the book on profiting from periods of economic turmoil: his book "Crisis Investing" became the best-selling financial book in history, remaining #1 on the New York Times bestseller list for a then-record 29 weeks... Then Doug broke the record with his next book, "Strategic Investing", by receiving the largest advance ever paid for a financial book. He has appeared on hundreds of radio and TV shows, including Donahue, Letterman, Charlie Rose, NBC News, and CNN and has been featured in numerous periodicals including People, US, Time, Forbes, the Washington Post, and many others. Widely recognized for his skills in identifying high-return opportunities in precious metals and energy, in May of 2005 he was featured in an article on gold in the New York Times Sunday Magazine and in June of 2005 was the sole guest in a feature on uranium on National Public Radio's popular Marketplace program. For over 27 years, Doug has written a newsletter and alert service for sophisticated investors and has been in demand as a featured speaker by conferences around the world. Through its subscription-supported publications and web sites, each month Casey Research, LLC. serves the information needs of hundreds of thousands of self-directed investors interested in natural resources. Doug, who also authored the best-selling International Man, lives the life described in that book by dividing his time between ranches in Aspen, Colorado and Wellington, New Zealand. In his quest for exceptional investments, he travels around the globe to kick the rocks on mine sites and evaluate countries for possible real estate speculations. In 2005 alone, he traveled to Argentina, Colombia, Bulgaria, Dubai... and even Syria (where, despite the risk, there are some very prospective oil and gas initiatives underway).
