The Key Scene: Beyonce's 'Countdown'

Beyonce's “Countdown” video shows the many sides of the eccentric and eclectic pop star: funny, stylish, happy, manic, sexy and pop culturally savvy.

With references to 60’s icons like Andy Warhol, Twiggy, Audrey Hepburn, Diana Ross, Brigitte Bardot, and even nods to “West Side Story,” it’s clear that Mamma B wanted to take her fans on a trip back in time.

Co-directed with Adria Petty, the clip is drenched in vintage-hued colors and retro clothes as the singer dances around various setups that not only pay homage to the '60s but also the '80s and '90s thanks to a good dash of “Fame,” “Flashdance” and even En Vogue thrown in for good measure. Beyonce looks characteristically flawless in varying degrees of pregnant. The video is the latest entry into the already iconic videography of the 30-year-old.

While much of it is memorable and eye-catching, the key scene comes at the 1:58 mark when a sassy, posin’ Beyonce army pans across the screen, putting into perspective all those aforementioned sides. She sashays, shimmies, swaggers and is generally sexy in her pop art dance studio. The scene really sums up that Beyonce is the sum of many super cool parts.

The Coen brothers to go ahead with a Film about the 1960s New York Folk scene

Douglas r. Gilbert

Dave Van Ronk was a central figure in the explosion of folk early 1960s in the Village of Greenwich in New York, and his rise to fame is precisely the kind of things, the Coen brothers want to write on the subject.

Rolling Stone reported that Joel and Ethan Coen latest project, ' the Interior of Llewyn Davis', will be based on the life of Van Ronk. Hey, perhaps a young Bobby Dylan does an appearance? The drama will follow Llewyn throughout the 1960s as a musician who have difficulties in New York City at the height of the protest movement.

Scott Rudin ('True Grit' and 'non-Country for Old Men') was signed to produce the project. No release date has been set.

As stated in Martin Scorsese'sexcellent documentary Dylan 'No Direction Home', Van Ronk never reached the notoriety and the stature of his folk friends Joan Baez and Dylan, but he made a significant mark on the career of the latter. We are convinced that the film will have a fabulous idea on the strange coffee beatniks world - and, hopefully, a little humor as well.
