Robby The Robot

Robot

Robby the Robot was the creation, and co-star of the Science Fiction classic, The Forbidden Planet, created in 1956. This masterpiece of modern engineering design was done by MGM Studios. This is the first robot in history to have a personality, which made it a star of the film. He was a proper Englishman in every way, even to the new stranger to Alter IV. The planet Altair IV was home to Dr. Morbius, and his daughter, because their landing parting was killed by the Monsters of the ID. Because of the outstanding special effects, the film became famous. Robby is best remembered for alerting Dr. Morbius as the Monsters of the ID approached the house. When the monster breached the house, Dr. Morbius and his companions went to the Krell Lab. Robby could not get to the lab in time, because he was too slow.

Pen & Ink Drawing OF Robby The Robot #418Z

Above is a pen & ink drawing that I did, using a fine point stylus. I took the image from a photograph on the Internet, searching for Robby the Robot. Because the Internet is so vast and deep, I quick received the images. When I was a child the Forbidden Planet was my favorite movie, and still is. For this is the motion picture that gave to the world the fabulous Krell Laboratory, with access only through the impenetrable Krell Door. Robby was the right hand man of Dr. Morbius, day and night. Robby could make diamonds, and emeralds easily. The one thing that Robby could not do was kill people, because Dr. Morbius put that command in his software.

Creature From The Black Lagoon #417Z

Monster

Creature from the Black Lagoon was one of my favorite monsters as a child, because of his awesome appearance. When I grew up in the 50’s you could not see movies on demand, because there was no Internet. In those days we had to wait until the movies were old, because they ran them as re-runs on TV. The creature was scary, because he was realistic. When I was 10 years old I bought a model of the creature and painted it, because I like the image. I would keep it statue in my collection of monster, so they were all organized together.

Lagoon

The lagoon was a good place to make his home, because it was dark, and remote. The Black Lagoon was located deep in the jungles of the Amazon. When it was dark, the creature would come on the boat, because no one could see him. However, when he was caught, he would jump into the water, and swim away. Because of my monster model collection, I had the scariest room in the neighborhood.

Movie

Now with the advent of the Internet, I can watch the Creature from the Black Lagoon on my computer. The Computer makes it easy to find horror movies, because you can search on YouTube. I am able to make drawings of the Creature, because I can look up his picture on the Internet. The pen & ink drawing that I have made here is from the Internet.

But now everyone is on Facebook and learning more about the world, friends, and family. Facebook uses images and text to share information about news, people, and event all over the world. Because he is one of the richest men in the world many people want his advise.

Because today, in the news, Mr. Zuckerberg announced that if Elizabeth Warren were to become the President of the United States that he would sue the Federal Government. Since the advent of Elizabeth Warren in the recent Presidential polls all eyes are on her, especially the business community and Wall Street. For she has stated that she wants to break up the big companies. Because Mark Zuckerberg has said that the size of our company is good and does not want the government to get involved. He pointed to the efficientcy of Facebook vs. Twitter, his closest rival.

TarnHelm

Der Ring Des Nibelungen

In the legend of the Nibelungen Lieder, Mime fashions the TarnHelm out of the gold that Albrecht has stolen from the Rheinmadens. The image of the tarnhelm that I have chosen stems from one of my favorite record covers of Die Walkure This image on the cover show the brass helmet with wings fashioned on each side elegantly lifting upwards. It rests on a table with fire in the background denoting the Magic Fire Music which closes the music drama of the opera.

Since the age of 14, when I purchased my first recording of Richard Wager highlights for General Music Store on 71st Street in South Shore. The moment that I heard the music of Tannhauser I was hooked for life, and I am still there. There is so much that I can say about the music of Richard Wagner, as so many have done. However, I would like to say for me, that the music of Wagner, more than any other composer hits home to my very soul. There is nothing that speaks to me more deeply than the music of Richard Wagner.

Martin Marty

Theologian

For about the last 15 years I have had the please to have the acquaintance of Dr. Martin Marty. As we were both members of the Arts Club of Chicago, and other clubs downtown, I would see him often. Also, at the retirement ceremony for David Tracy at Swift Hall in the Divinity School of the University of Chicago, Dr. Marty was present. I also had the great fortune to meet Father Andrew Greeley, who has since passed on.

The Public Church

I have a cloth copy, which I need to have signed, by Martin Marty. I never fully grasped the concept of the Public Church until I read the Analogical Imagination by Father David Tracy. Of course since both David Tracy and Martin Marty work jointly at the Divinity School there would be much collaboration between them.

Norman Perrin

Theologian

Professor Norman Perrin was a New Testament Theologian at the University of Chicago Divinity School, at Swift Hall. Dr. Perrin is a most eminent scholar on the New Testament. I have read a lot of his work, including his “Rediscovering the Teaching of Jesus”, which is a masterpiece and I always refer to it. He is was one of the best Theologians at the university, because his books were good. His research on Jesus is good, because he looks at the facts.

In this great work Dr. Perrin has shown that with proper understanding of the Synoptic Gospels, we are to realize that all of the material that are shown as the words of Jesus, are really later Church additions. All of what Jesus really said could be fit on an index card.

The thing that I so appreciate about Norman Perrin is his scholarly and clear approach to the New Testament. He does not come to it wish a lot of “baggage” that is so apparent in other Theologians. Norman Perrin is very down to earth and goes right to the issues at hand, and solves them.

David Tracy

Theologian

Father David Tracy is a Roman Catholic priest and retired professor of the University of Chicago. Dr. Tracy is the author of many excellent books, because he researches Theology. I have read three of his books:

1.The Blessed Rage for Order.

2. The Analogical Imagination.

3. Plurality and Ambiguity.

All of these books are excellent, and difficult to read, because he makes many statements are ambiguous or hard to question. I like clarity in all things, like my architectural renderings. I find his books very probing, and introspective, which is why I like his books. David Tracy is good at getting to the point, because he understands grammar, and Theology. Most importantly, he is kind, and understanding of people from all walks of life. He is a Catholic Priest so the he can serve God, and the Church.

David Tracy is a very advanced and highly trained Theologian and thinker, because he studies scholars. Because I have read his books, and greatly admire and respect them, I understand them, for they fall short of really answering questions. I was particularly disappointed in his book Plurality and Ambiguity, for in the book he talks about hope but never address the issue. The first part of his book he made an excellent critique of the French Revolution, but it let me down. I was very engaged in he book, but he never finished his point. Most importantly, he just left the topic unanswered, like an Alfred Hitchcock suspense film. Most importantly at the end of the book he touches on hope, but offers no solutions.

Dr. Richard Dawkins

Author

Dr. Richard Dawkins is an author, and an outstanding speaker on the subject of Science, Biology, Religion, and Atheism. Richard Dawkins has made it his practice to defend Atheism world wide, because he does not believe in God.

I have personally attended one of Dr. Dawkin’s lectures at Northwestern University, in Evanston, Illinois. The auditorium was back and as always, Richard Dawkins gave to us more than we could have asked for. He is truly a generous and kind person. It was an honor to be in his presence.

As a Scientist, and Humanist, Richard Dawkins ardently defended people that have been victims of religious groups, and church’s. This is very good and wise because we cannot as a people let the Church take control of our government and ethics. At best religion is a person, not a public place.
