Today I wrote about the botched execution of Christina Pike and how the death penalty must end, in all situations, with absolutely no exceptions. www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffe...

Tennessee attempted to kill Christa Gail Pike on Wednesday night but they botched it. They gave her a dose of phenobarbital, it did not kill her, so they gave her a second dose of phenobarbital which also did not kill her. Witnesses said that Pike was kicking her feet, knocking off sheets, and showing signs of obvious pain. Eventually she fell into a state of semi-consciousness and at various points was heard snoring by witnesses. The botched execution spanned more than two hours from the beginning of the lethal injection protocol to the time it was halted and Pike was transported to the hospital.

Pike is said to be in critical condition in the hospital. There is a good chance that she sustained severe brain injuries by virtue of her respiratory and cardiovascular systems being subjected to massive doses phenobarbital for over two hours which likely led to prolonged oxygen deprivation to her brain.

How did this happen? There are any number of theories. One possibility is that the people conducting the attempted execution failed to properly tap a vein, which may have been more likely due to a condition Pike has called thrombocytosis. If so, they probably just pumped the phenobarbital into her muscles and surrounding tissue. It's also possible that the phenobarbital used by Tennessee was degraded or substandard due to pharmaceutical companies' refusal to sell such drugs and drug administration equipment to death penalty state prison authorities, which leads them to pursue questionable substitutes from compounding pharmacies and suppliers. Those are just theories, of course. There will be an investigation into all of this and we'll find out more eventually.

But the specifics of this don't matter much to me. All of it just underscores how wrong and evil and depraved capital punishment is and how it should be abolished everywhere immediately. With absolutely no exceptions.

I’ve long opposed capital punishment in any and all cases. There is nothing — no fact, no argument, no sufficiently depraved or horrifying a criminal or crime, hypothetical or otherwise — that will ever change my mind about that. I’d oppose the death penalty even if it was not discriminatory and arbitrary, which it absolutely is. I'd oppose it even if our system was incapable of legal or factual error, which it obviously is not. Indeed, it makes errors all the time, and there have been several cases in recent years in which states have killed innocent people. While legal errors can cause extreme hardship in cases that don’t involve the death penalty, once you’ve killed someone there are no take-backs. Utah just released a man who spent 37 years on death row after they discovered that he was innocent.

But like I said: I oppose it in all cases. Even when guilt is not in question, as is the case with Christa Pike, who admitted what she did long ago. I simply think that it is illegitimate to give humans the legal right to end the lives of other human beings. That's especially true given the manner of political power, how it is obtained, and how it is employed in this country.

I do not think that the purpose of our criminal justice system should be retribution or the satisfaction of blood lust. We can and should incapacitate criminals by locking them up. We can and should rehabilitate criminals who are capable of being rehabilitated while they are locked up. We should do what we can to deter future crime, but in so doing we must acknowledge that the death penalty does nothing to deter crime. We should not, as a society, be in the revenge business, which is what the death penalty is really about.

The State of Tennessee tortured a human being for two hours on Wednesday night and quite possibly inflicted traumatic brain injuries upon her. There is nothing that justifies that. There is nothing that justifies the state from taking the life of a human being.

it didn't even occur to me that the government might try to execute someone a second time if they torture the person but fail to kill them during a first botched attempt. truly grotesque and a moral stain upon all involved.

GDT's reddit AMA spitting fire www.reddit.com/r/movies/com...

reddit comment:

Hello! Did you intend the ending of Pan’s labyrinth to be real or in Ofelia’s mind?

Guillermo Del Toro's reply:

My interpretation, and it's exclusively mine, is that it's real.

Because there's two things. One is what people call “The Shining Question.” The Shining Question is, Who opens the door for Jack to get out of the fridge? And Ofelia is in an attic with a guard outside her door, and she draws the door with the magic chalk, and she shows up in the labyrinth. So, the only way she could have gone into the labyrinth is the magic chalk. And the flower is real at the end. The flower that blooms in the dead tree. And the reason I think it’s real is because—and this is why I'm in favor of the human factor in art—I think that art does transform the world. You know?

Think about it for a second. One of the goals, with all this movement, is to make you believe that art is vulgar. That art is nothing special, and anybody can do art. That is like me telling you that I'm faster at running than Usain Bolt but I “run” in my motorcycle. Well, that's not the same. That’s not the same at all.

Art is important, and they want you to believe it isn't. It's part of the idea of control. The goal is not to have artificial intelligence. The goal is to foster natural stupidity. The goal is to foster you not looking for answers, and to trust yourself entirely to an engine. Look at the way we are dipping our toes into these things. We are starting to ask the machine, Is this true? For now, there's a correlation between reality and what the answers of the machine are. For now. But soon, we won't even investigate further. We will be told it's true. And if the machine is in the hands of somebody who should not be trusted, then your reality has been completely and utterly fucked. Because your intelligence ends at the question. You don't seek the answer. It's given to you.

Q: You recently mentioned that AI creates 'semi-compelling screensavers' and that you'd 'rather die' than use it. As a filmmaker who relies heavily on practical effects and creature design, what do you think is the biggest thing lost when a computer generates an image instead of a human hand?

GDT:

The three quarters of the process that gave you the chance to think of the idea that people don't think about without that process. Meaning, AI can get you to the middle really fast, but there's a dialectic with the process that gets you to that top 10%. I'll give you an example with the Pale Man.

We sculpted it as an old man, with a face. And then I said, Let's take out the face. This happened because I saw a photo of a manta ray and the poster for Don Coscarelli’s Phantasm. That combination, which happened at two different times during a week or a month, are not permutations that are chemically part of an equation. They are alchemy. And then I said, Take out the face, and then I said, Let's put the eyes on the hands. This triangulation happens because I spent a month or two months living with the idea of this creature. And it's not linear.

AI is like a super-fast engine that makes semi-sentient permutations of things that are already done. Creation is things that have never been done. Coming to exist.

And the second thing is the loss of the apprenticeship that one has as an artist. You're never a master; you're always an apprentice. This is a kinship I have with, for example, Chris Nolan. When he showed me The Odyssey, there’s a scene when Matt Damon is floating in the stormy ocean and I asked him—because we were talking about practical effects, and how great it is and that we both always use a maquette or a model—and I asked him, How did you do it? He said, “We put him in a storm in the ocean.”

And you're gonna find that 30% of a great image occurs accidentally. You know, either a drop of water hits the lens, or the camera shakes. I remember when in 1993, '94, Jim…

Fighting back is rarely an option in many SA situations, something I frequently remind officers, detectives, attorneys, & the occasional jury. Saying "I think you've made your point" doesn't determine the r@pe's end. The perpetrator decides. Law enforcement & courts would do well to remember this.
