INSAINMENT APOCALYPSE

#Insainment 

A reputed Bonanno crime family associate barely escaped with his life in a botched mob hit, rolling around in the street outside of his Bronx home desperately trying to dodge a hit man’s bullets as he unloads a pistol before jumping back in the getaway car, all caught in this video cops released Thursday (July 13th)

The surveillance tape captures the hit men making a U-turn in a red Nissan sedan on Tierney Place near Locust Point Drive at around 6:30 in the morning just down the block from mobster Salvatore (Sally Daz) Zottola’s home.

Who is the Bonanno Crime Family?

The Bonanno crime family (pronounced [boˈnanno]) is one of the Five Families that dominate organized crime activities in New York City, United States, within the nationwide criminal phenomenon known as the American Mafia (or Cosa Nostra).

Named after Joseph Bonanno, for over 30 years the family was one of the most powerful in the country. However, in the early 1960s, Bonanno attempted to seize the mantle of boss of bosses, but failed and was forced to retire. 

This touched off a period of turmoil within the family that lasted almost a quarter-century. It was the first of the New York families to be kicked off the Commission (a council of the bosses that helps to maintain order in the Mafia), 

due to infighting for the boss's mantle, as well as allegations the family was actively dealing heroin and that an FBI agent calling himself Donnie Brasco  

had infiltrated their ranks. Later, the family faced shaky leadership, with the acting boss Carmine Galante murdered in 1979 at the command of Philip Rastelli, the actual boss.

*The deserts of southern California were used as medieval England, circa 1300 AD. This is obvious when Ash heads off to get the Necronomicon and rides past the Vasquez Rocks.

*The film was released as Captain Supermarket in Japan:

*Dark Horse's Army of Darkness comic adaptation of the film features many deleted scenes and some that were scripted, but never filmed (such as the the "temple ruins" sequence).

*Army of Darkness originally had a more downbeat and depressing ending - after defeating the Army of Darkness the wise men presented Ash with a sleeping potion and advise him to drink an exact number of drops that will allow him to sleep for the next few centuries until he awakens in his own time. After being sealed up in a cave by King Arthur's knights, Ash gets distracted and takes too many drops of the sleeping potion, causing him to wake up after the Apocalypse and finding himself trapped in a wasteland, screaming in madness. The producers disliked this ending as they felt it did not mesh well with the overall tone of the film, so the S-Mart ending replaced it. (included in video)

*There is also an alternate opening for the film, using the same voiceover and much of the same footage (including Bridget Fonda as Linda), but also includes close-ups of only Ash's eyes as he's telling the story. This opening is meant to tie back to the original 'Apocalypse' ending, so that when there is the reveal of his beard and manic appearance, we realize the entire film is Ash re-telling the story in flashback from the future. While it was filmed (and was in the first drafts of the script), it was never used. (also in video)

*Bruce Campbell's father and older brother appear as knights of Lord Arthur. Campbell's brother, Don, is one of the soldiers that grabs Ash in the beginning of the film, while his father, Charles Campbell, is one of the knights that gets killed early on in the battle at the castle.

*Sam Raimi's brother, Ted, plays four people in the film.

Magnolia Director/Writer Paul Thomas Anderson on raining Frogs

You get to a point in your life, and shit is just happening, everything’s out of your control, and suddenly, a rain of frogs just makes sense. 

You’re staring at a doctor who’s telling you something is wrong, and while we know what it is, we have no way of fixing it. And you just go, so what you’re telling me, basically, is that it’s raining frogs. 

 I guess I just found myself at a point where I was going through some shitty stuff and I was ready for some sort of weird religious experience, or as close as I could get to one. 

 So then I began to decipher things about frogs and history, things like as far back as the Romans, people have been able to judge the health of a society by the health of its frogs. The health of a frog, the vibe, the texture, its looks, how wet it is, everything. The frogs are a barometer for who we are as people.
