	Jazz History: The Standards (1940s)
		By the 1940s these groups, spearheaded by musicians like Art Tatum, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk and Coleman Hawkins, were exploring the harmonic frontiers of popular song.
		This new type of jazz came to be known as “bebop.” Whereas in the 1920s and 1930s jazz and popular music crossed paths, bebop and the jazz styles built upon it appealed to a specialized audience, and the music rarely ventured back into the popular music realm.
		In general, tunes that became jazz standards from the 1940s tended to be from Tin Pan Alley, with Broadway show tunes being replaced by tunes from movies (for example, “Chattanooga Choo Choo”).

		That we both chose Herzog documentaries were not conspiracy but coincidence — and, I think, a fitting tribute to a filmmaker of the purest craft, and of his acute understanding that the most thrilling adventures are those that illuminate man’s quest both to tame nature and become one with it.
		What a foursome the Berkmans are — on the tennis court, where mom, dad and the two boys play as fiercely as if this were a grudge match at the U.S. Open, or in their disintegrating home, where each pursues self-destruction with an anchorite’s intensity.

		I hope that topping my list with this unsentimental masterpiece will make my list safe for diabetics with so many of the other choices high in treacle (even "Ninotchka" is a little sweet, and perhaps I should dump GWTW and add George Cukor's nest of vipers, "The Women").

		Director Bryan Singer famously changed the fluorescent spandex suits of the X-Men into dark, leather-like uniforms for those movies — both of them smashes that sold more than $364 million in tickets.
		Instead of reinventing the character's appearance, Singer — via e-mail from Australia, where he's shooting the film — says he wanted to remain faithful to the previous incarnations of Superman, from the Max Fleischer cartoons of the 1940s to the fl-and-white George Reeves TV show to the Christopher Reeve movies of the 1970s and '80s.
