This hanky, depicting an 1836 map of New York, wins the blue ribbon for being the best Xmas gift given in the Huberman family this year. It’s pretty detailed…for a hanky Made in China..

This may or may not be about where the infamous 5 Points were (are), just northeast of that triangle-shaped park.

Beware Bill the Butcher when you visit this place.

Alligator Horses is about the cultural climate during this same time period in America, around the time this map would have (mostly) accurately described New York. Stay tuned for updates on the film, which is nearing completion as we speak. Yes, even on Christmas. No rest for the documentary filmmaker, toiling to unearth dark truths about America’s past.

More blackface in the news…this time thanks to Tyra Banks

Another media kerfluffle surrounding blackface, or what seems to be described as “basically blackface.”

The story on Tyra Bank’s transgression here.

But the real matter seems to be: why does this make people so uncomfortable? I certainly understand why, myself.  But no one seems to really discuss it…

It will be very interesting to see people’s reaction to the use of blackface in the BH film, Alligator Horses, which is currently in the final stages of editing.

Happy Holidays

In the Huberman household, it has accidentally become a tradition every Christmas day to watch Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers, an epic story about two lawless outcasts, who kill over 50 people without remorse —while strengthening their love and partnership. The film ventures deep into the darkest shades of humanity, where no person is innocent — and the same system that is charged with redeeming (or executing) the mass murderers, it turns out, is itself a product of the same system that may have corrupted them in the first place.

Ultimately, the film is a clever criticism of media, film and television — and us, for the ways in which we let it seduce and lead our instincts. A great dose of healthy perspective to carry forward into the new year.

Also, Robert Downing Jr. as the Australian veteran-turned-hack journalist-turned-hostage is a treat.
