Day 15
Reflections on: Dead Calm(1989)
- Dead Clam stars Sam Eel, Nicole Squidman, Krilly Zane, and the ocean.
- For some reason I always thought this was a remake of Knife in the Water (1962) - it’s not! They’re both tense boat movies with 3 characters.
- I love boat movies!! Boats are stressful! I love being stressed out!
- The soundtrack features rompler pan flute, Latin chorus vocals, and intense breathing sounds. I enjoyed all the sounds.
- It was nice to hear both Sam Neill and Nicole Kidman speaking with their natural accents rather than pretending to be American. It was also nice to see Nicole Kidman’s natural big hair.
- Billy Zane is somehow perpetually sweaty despite being shirtless for most of the movie. He really looks like Marlon Brando in this. His character also has terrible taste in music. Get OUTTA here Billy!!
- Excellent fashion, not including Billy’s shorts.
- Clam Neill grunting is good.
- Hot-wiring a boat seems impressive.
- This is clearly the superior Billy Zane boat movie, it’s much better than Titanic(1997).
- Squelch Knob is my new grunge band. We’re playing with Drainage at The Goat Pit on Friday. Come to the show.
- After watching this I learned that Nicole Kidman was only 19 when she filmed this and Sam Neill was 39! WHAT?! She’s a very good actor!

PHOTOS: 10 bronze statues of inspirational women in NYC by Statues for Equality"
Statues for Equality is a global mission to balance gender representation in public statues and honor women’s contribution to society. Gender inequality is among the most critical issues facing the world today, and having a public display of inspirational women for the world to see is a tangible step humanity can make toward a more equal society. Sadly the representation of female statues in most western countries is less than 4 percent.
On Woman’s Equality Day in New York City, Statues for Equality was launched and history was made with some of the world’s most influential woman. Ten inspirational and larger-than-life bronze female statues were unveiled on the iconic Avenue of the Americas to increase female representation in public art statues, from 3 percent to 9 percent overnight. Among these women are Oprah Winfrey, Jane Goodall, Cate Blanchett, P!nk and Nicole Kidman.
It was a long and complicated process to make sure each of the statues was a depiction of the woman precisely how she wanted to be seen. The artists began with a portrait study. To better understand the individual faces, artists Gillie and Marc began by first sketching, then painting the faces of each woman.
This process, starting in 2D, is important for developing the expressions and to allow the individual personalities to shine through when crafting the clay mold and transforming them into bronze masterpieces. Painted on fabric from around the world, they represent the diversity of womankind. Each painting has its own texture, shape and feel. From there, the artists collaborated with the women further. Each woman decided her own pose, outfit and flower on which to stand for her statue in bronze.
Gillie and Marc now want to expand their project around the world, with the goal of reaching complete gender equality of public sculptures — 50 percent —across the globe by 2025. (Statues for Equality)
