PRESIDENT's REPORT by ROBERT ARAKAKI DECEMBER 2008 ISSUE NO. 11/2008 PRESIDENT’S REPORT by Robert Arakaki From October 19 to 23, thanks to the hard work of our friends in Southern California, we had our annual Mini- Reunion in Las Vegas. The photo on the right is of Nancy and me with Ken Gushiken and Goro Sumida in the lobby of the California Hotel. For more on the Mini-Reunion, please read Sam Fujikawa’s Mainland Chapter News. Our monthly board meeting (normally scheduled the second Friday of the month) was held on Sunday, November the 16 at 9:00am since the General Membership meeting was held on the same day. The General Meeting at Turner Hall began at 10:00am conducted by Mike Harada our President- elect. Read your PPP in the issues to come for more information about the future of the 100th Inf. Battalion from the new younger generation officers of the club. The Board meeting opened with a moment of silence for our deceased comrades. The October Minutes were approved as circulated. The Office Manager’s and Treasurer’s reports were all approved and accepted. Guest Reid Mizue from KYA Design Group gave an on screen presentation about the future mission for the 100th Inf. Bn. descendants and community. On November 5, 2008 ground breaking for the Pearl Harbor Memorial Museum and Visitor Center was attended by Tom Nishioka, Tom Tsubota, and Robert Arakaki. Thanks to our caring Office Manager Amanda Stevens for arranging VIP parking for the ceremony ensuring VIP treatment from the staff in charge of the event. On November 8 we participated in the Veterans Day parade sponsored by the East Hawaii Veterans led by Dan Kama in downtown Hilo. The Grand Marshal was State Adjutant General Robert G. F. Lee. Veterans of the 100th Infantry Bn. from Oahu were Goro Sumida, Rikio Tsuda and Robert Arakaki. Nancy Arakaki, Evelyn Tsuda, Mary Hamasaki, Jessie Nakayama, Elsie Oshita, Amanda Stevens, and Amanda’s nephew, Jeremy, attended the ceremony. We all had a grand time. While staying in Hilo we visited friends and went to Rainbow Falls, Akaka Falls, Volcano House just to mention a few interesting locations. Also while we were in Hilo we visited the Yukio Okutsu Veterans Home where we met Keith T. Ribbentrop, Liaison Officer, who gave us an extensive tour of the facility. It is at a beautiful location with private and semi-private rooms and various amenities.

PPP COLLATING VOLUNTEERS by Bernard Akamine Twenty eight volunteers participated in the collating of the Puka Puka Parade. It was a very lively day with visitors from the military and even U.S. Attorney Ed Kubo and his wife Tammy mingling with the volunteers. Participating were Bernard and Jeanette Akamine, Alfred Arakaki, Robert and Nancy Arakaki, Akira Akimoto, Mary Hamasaki, Ed Ikuma, Don and Kimi Matsuda, and their grandson Paul, Masanori Moriwake, Tom Nishioka, Elsie Oshita, Nancy Sakaki, Mamo Sato, Robert Sato, Kazuto Shimizu, Goro Sumida, Dot Tamashiro, Drusilla Tanaka, Riki and Evelyn Tsuda, Marie Yoneshige, Terri Wakuzawa with her disabled shoulder, Stacey Hayashi, Pam Funai, and China Yamashina. Pam brought a delicious cake. Missing were old reliables Kuni Fujimoto, Seie Oshiro, Susumu Kunishige, Philip Matsuyama, Joe Muramatsu, Saburo Nishime, Arthur Komiyama, Otomatsu Aoki, Takako Umamoto. Hope they are all okay. Milton Tanaka brought some ¼” plywood, so I was able to make more trays for the Puka Puka Parade collating. I got a call from Evelyn Tsuda saying that she is bringing a piece of plywood she found at home, so I’ll be busy again. No January 2009 issue, so no collating in December. Enjoy the holidays! The Puka Puka Parade is the monthly newsletter of the World War II 100th Infantry Battalion Veterans (aka Club 100). It is published at 520 Kamoku Street, Honolulu, HI 96826. - 2 - MAKE THIS CHRISTMAS A MERRY ONE FOR NEEDY FAMILIES BY SUPPORTING THE HAWAII FOODBANK In this time of economic instability, it is easy to forget about those who are less fortunate than us. While we may be worrying about the impact the financial bailouts will have on our taxes or concern ourselves with the dropping interest rates on our investments, there are families in Hawaii who do not know where their next meal will come from. We therefore are humbly asking that you bring any nonperishable items you can spare to your Chapter’s Christmas party to donate to the Hawaii Foodbank. Just drop your donations at the table near the office and they will be delivered to the Foodbank at the end of the year. The top five items they need are (1) canned meats or tuna; (2) canned meals; (3) canned soups; (4) canned vegetables; (5) canned fruits. Mahalo!

CORRECTIONS TO THE NOVEMBER 2008 PUKA PUKA PARADE Our apologies to Carl Tonaki for misspelling his name in last month’s issue of the PPP under the heading of “Decorating the Graves of Our Comrades.” Sgt. Tonaki was instrumental in recruiting twelve airmen to help and we wish to thank him again for his efforts. Our apologies to Kazuto Shimizu for inadvertently having omitted a paragraph from his Charlie Company report for November. [Quoting Kazuto's words:] "C Chapter Hekka Lunch. I'm writing this as I munch on my hekka lunch. Arlene was afraid of poor attendance and we prayed a little. Looking around, I would say we had nothing to worry about. Thank you, Gary and Arlene, for preparing the lunch and everything. Arlene tells me that when she went to Aloha Tofu, she got a "no charge" bill for the goods that she bought. Arlene was stunned and did not get the name of the person doing this. Our heart goes to the many in the community that support our club and we will remember Aloha Tofu. Thank you." LETTERS FROM OUR READERS The following note was received from Mrs. Sadako Tottori-Kaneko, daughter of Bishop Mitsumyo Tottori of the Haleiwa Shingon Temple at the outbreak of WWII. She donated two albums that he had maintained of the nisei soldiers during WWII and the Korean conflict. “Thank you so much for sending me your monthly Puka Puka Parade newsletter. I enjoy reading about all your members and activities, especially the sons and daughters carrying forth the legacies of their fathers. “I hope my father’s albums (Bishop Tottori) have added to the history of the 100th Infantry Battalion men.” The albums are now in the reception area of the Clubhouse for viewing by members and visitors and will eventually be added to the archives when the Learning Resource Center becomes operational.

  • Die Invasion Der Barbaren Gedanken Zur Re-Mythisierung Hollywoods in Den 1980Er-Jahren
    Die Invasion der Barbaren Gedanken zur Re-Mythisierung Hollywoods in den 1980er-Jahren Marcus Stiglegger, Berlin 1. Wenn ich zurückdenke an das Jahr 1982 – ich war gerade 11 Jahre alt –, muss ich sagen, dass Conan für kurze Zeit zu meinem Mentor wurde. Ich durfte den Film mit Arnold Schwar- zenegger damals noch nicht sehen und sammelte daher verzweifelt alle Artikel über John Milius’ CONAN THE BARBARIAN (1982), die ich finden konnte. So kaufte ich mein erstes Cinema-Heft und meine erste Bravo-Ausgabe, denn beide berichteten ausführlich über den archaischen Barbaren. Und welche Freude war es, als der Heyne Verlag mit seiner Veröf- fentlichung der Conan-Stories und -Romane begann, die jeweils mit einem Filmfoto auf dem Cover erschienen. Diese blassgelben Buchrücken schmücken noch heute mein Lesezimmer. Conan kam damals zur richtigen Zeit: mit der wachsenden Popularität von J. R. R. Tolkiens Herr der Ringe-Romantrilogie und dem gleichnamigen Animationsfilm von Ralph Bakshi aus dem Jahr 1979, mit John Boormans 1981 gestarteter Neuinterpretation des Arthus-Mythos’ in EXCALIBUR und Terry Gilliams TIME BANDITS (1981). Es folgten THE DRAGON SLAYER (1982) von Matthew Robbins, FIRE AND ICE (1983) von Ralph Bakshi, THE DARK CRYSTAL (1982) von Jim Hanson und Frank Oz, LEGEND (1983) von Ridley Scott und aus Deutsch- land DIE UNENDLICHE GESCHICHTE (1984) von Wolfgang Petersen. Und nicht nur das Kino feierte die Phantasie, auch das Table-Top-Rollenspiel Dungeons & Dragons hatte damals eine Hochphase. Tolkiens Mittelerde hatte sich bereits in der Hippie-Ära der frühen 1970er-Jahre großer Beliebtheit erfreut, Studierendenkreise ebenso inspiriert wie esoterische Beschäfti- gung angestoßen. Pen-and-Paper-Rollenspiele etablierten sich als Gruppenerlebnis, und schon in den 1970er-Jahren musste man von einem Revival jener Fantasy-Literatur sprechen, die eigentlich einer anderen Ära entstammte: den krisengeplagten 1930er-Jahren mit ihren ‚Weird Tales‘ und weiteren frühen Fantasy-Magazinen.

  • Apocalypse Now
    Sabrina Baiguera Università degli Studi di Bergamo Letteratura Anglo-americana LMI A.A. 2011/2012 Paolo Jachia’s Francis Ford Coppola: Apocalypse Now. Un’analisi semiotica , an intertextual reconstruction of the texts, of the cultural references that lie behind the film. Apocalypse Now (1979) Two versions: the orginal version (1979) and the extended version ( Apocalypse Now Redux: 2001 ), released in 2001. The film is set during the Vietnam war (the action takes place approximately in 1970) It tells the story of U.S. Army Captain Benjamin L. Willard who has the mission to proceed up the Nung river into Cambodia, find Colonel Kurtz and “terminate” his command, by whatever means available. Willard starts a journey up the Nung river on a PBR (Petrol Boat) with a four- man crew (Chef – a saucier; Chief – the chief of the boat; Clean – a 17 year- old young from Bronx; Lance – a professional surfer). Kurtz had deserted the U.S. Army to start his own private war in the middle of the jungle. There he is worshipped as a god by his own Montagnard army, but he has gone insane and his methods are “unsound”. The artistic dimension Source texts of Apocalypse Now : 1. Joseph Conrad’s novella Heart of Darkness (1899) 2. James G. Frazer’s The Golden Bough (1890) 3. Jessie Weston’s From ritual to romance (1920) 4. Goethe’s Faust (1808) 5. The Holy Bible 6. T.S.Eliot’s The Waste Land (1922) and The Hollow Men (1925) 7. Baudelaire’s The Albatross (1861) 8. The Doors’ The End Heart of Darkness (1899) “In the case of “Apocalypse,” there was a script written by the great John Milius, but, I must say, what I really made the film from was the little green copy of Heart of Darkness that I had done all those lines in.” (Coppola) Heart of Darkness was not credited as a source text when the film first came out.

  • APOCALYPSE NOW REDUX Written by John Milius & Francis Ford
    APOCALYPSE NOW REDUX Written by John Milius & Francis Ford Coppola FADE IN: EXT. A SIMPLE IMAGE OF TREES - DAY Coconut trees being VIEWED through the veil of time or a dream. Occasionally colored smoke wafts through the FRAME, yellow and then violet. MUSIC begins quietly, suggestive of 1968-69. Perhaps "The End" by the Doors. Now MOVING through the FRAME are skids of helicopters, not that we could make them out as that though; rather, hard shapes that glide by at random. Then a phantom helicopter in FULL VIEW floats by the trees-suddenly without warning, the jungle BURSTS into a bright red-orange glob of napalm flame. The VIEW MOVES ACROSS the burning trees as the smoke ghostly helicopters come and go. DISSOLVE TO: INT. SAIGON HOTEL - DAY A CLOSE SHOT, upside down of the stubble-covered face of a young man. His EYES OPEN...this is B.L. WILLARD. Intense and dissipated. The CAMERA MOVES around to a side view as he continues to look up at a ROTATING FAN on the ceiling. EXT. IMAGES OF HELICOPTERS - DAY They continue to fly slowly, peacefully across the burning jungle. The colored smoke comes and goes. Morrison continues with "The End". INT. SAIGON HOTEL - DAY The CAMERA MOVES slowly across the room...and we SEE WILLARD, a young army captain. He looks out the window to the busy Saigon street. WILLARD (V.O.) * Saigon...shit. I'm only in Saigon. Every time, I think I'm gonna wake up back in the jungle. He moves back to the bed, lies down.

  • The Picture of Abjection: Film, Fetish, and the Nature of Difference
    The Picture of Abjection: Film, Fetish, and the Nature of Difference By Tina Chanter Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2008. ISBN: 9780253219183. 15 illustrations, 377 pp. £19.99 (pbk) A review by Adrienne Angelo, Angelo, University of West Georgia, USA How do scholars and others with an interest in film studies and psychoanalysis engage with existing theoretical discourses on race, gender, culture and sexual difference in order to bypass the often polemicized and contested paradigm of fetishism and voyeurism, two critical modes that have dominated and continue to dominate film theory? It is this problematic that Tina Chanter explores in The Picture of Abjection: Film, Fetish and the Nature of Difference. For Chanter, drawing largely upon Kristeva's theoretical considerations of abjection, a point of entry to this endeavor lies precisely in further developing the implications of abjection as a "staging of a defensive dynamic that has the potential to significantly rework the imaginary commitments of Oedipal theory, specifically its privileging of masculinity and femininity" (17). Chanter's primary goal appears to be to develop a new critical model at the very center of which lies that which is otherwise neglected, excluded and expelled from dominant cultural discourse for being "too much", too "other". However, for as much as Chanter promotes a consideration of film and film theory, there is less an in-depth reading of films per se than a highly informed reconsideration of theoretical notions of subjectivity and the subject, one read through the lens of abjection and its destabilizing and thus subversive potential for considering marginalized identities and their representation in film theory.

  • Apoplexy Now
    return to updates Apoplexy Now by Miles Mathis Probably the best critique of Apocalypse Now is that of Jean Baudrillard, from his book Simulacra and Simulations. I recommend it as interesting in both language and idea. That said, I no longer find it convincing. Though incisive, it isn't incisive enough to suit me. I just watched the film again after a break of more than a decade, and found my low opinion of it had fallen another dozen notches. The problem with Baudrillard is that he was still writing to try to impress his fellow intellectuals and academics. To that end, he always seems too aware of his words, and too little aware of his facts and opinions. Certainly a reader is more aware of his words than his facts and opinions, since the latter crouch behind the former, never coming fully into the light. Even the late period Baudrillard wrote like a Frenchman who hadn't fully thrown off the haze of Deconstruction. Like Baudrillard's writing, mine was born out of the philosophy department, and as a younger man I toyed with many styles, including several that were more flowery and indirect. I still allow myself to wax poetic occasionally in short bursts, as my readers know, but for the most part I now strive for a style of absolute clarity. I save my art for other times. Some will think I just got lazy, but it was a conscious choice. I've grown impatient over the years with academic writing—and journalistic writing, too, if it comes to that.

  • Filmography 1963 Through 2017 Greg Macgillivray (Right) with His Friend and Filmmaking Partner of Eleven Years, Jim Freeman in 1976
    MacGillivray Freeman Films Filmography 1963 through 2017 Greg MacGillivray (right) with his friend and filmmaking partner of eleven years, Jim Freeman in 1976. The two made their first IMAX Theatre film together, the seminal To Fly!, which premiered at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum on July 1, 1976, one day after Jim’s untimely death in a helicopter crash. “Jim and I cared only that a film be beautiful and expressive, not that it make a lot of money. But in the end the films did make a profit because they were unique, which expanded the audience by a factor of five.” —Greg MacGillivray 2 MacGillivray Freeman Films Filmography Greg MacGillivray: Cinema’s First Billion Dollar Box Office Documentarian he billion dollar box office benchmark was never on Greg MacGillivray’s bucket list, in fact he describes being “a little embarrassed about it,” but even the entertainment industry’s trade journal TDaily Variety found the achievement worth a six-page spread late last summer. As the first documentary filmmaker to earn $1 billion in worldwide ticket sales, giant-screen film producer/director Greg MacGillivray joined an elite club—approximately 100 filmmakers—who have attained this level of success. Daily Variety’s Iain Blair writes, “The film business is full of showy sprinters: filmmakers and movies that flash by as they ring up impressive box office numbers, only to leave little of substance in their wake. Then there are the dedicated long-distance specialists, like Greg MacGillivray, whose thought-provoking documentaries —including EVEREST, TO THE ARCTIC, TO FLY! and THE LIVING Sea—play for years, even decades at a time.
