13 (Denzel Curry EP), Background
In a press statement, Curry explained the meaning behind the numerical title and the EP's theme by saying,


13 (Denzel Curry EP), Background
The ideology behind 13 the number is actually the representation of B and B is the letter beginning of the word Black (13LACK). 13 is seen as an unfortunate and unlucky number due to superstition that's plagued society for generations. I'm considered misfortune due to the fact that I'm not only a black person but I've always felt that my heart and soul was black due to certain circumstances in life that I have yet to get over and you don't have to be African American to feel that way.


13 (Denzel Curry EP), Background
13 is all around us, for example 13 is a difficult age for most because it's our path to adult hood. Jesus and 12 disciples make 13 according to big rube and lastly the 13th floor was always seen as something to be afraid of world wide. 13 is the part of an unfortunate distorted life.


13 (Denzel Curry EP), Background
In an interview with XXL, Curry explained the EP's sudden release, by stating,


13 (Denzel Curry EP), Background
The reason why I put out the 13 EP is because I got bored. I wanted to supply my fans with something. I knew I couldn't give them the stuff from the album. The album's not even done yet. It's almost done, but it's not done yet, and I want to make sure it's perfect to a tee before I even think about releasing anything.


13 (Denzel Curry EP), Singles
The EP was supported by three promotional singles: "Equalizer" featuring Ronny J, "Hate Government", and "Zeltron 6 Billion" featuring Lil Ugly Mane.

13 (Havoc album), Background
During 2012 beef broke out between the hip hop group Mobb Deep. On April 9, 2012, Havoc sent out a slew of Twitter insults towards Prodigy. Havoc would later deny the messages being his, saying he had lost his phone. However, he would later confirm that the tweets did in fact come from himself, also saying that Mobb Deep was on hiatus indefinitely. This would result in a self-produced, diss track being released by Havoc titled, "Separated (Real from the Fake)". The song was originally set for 13. The feud would die down by the beginning of 2013 resulting in Mobb Deep reuniting for an international tour to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut album, Juvenile Hell.


13 (Havoc album), Background
Havoc chose the title because 13 is his lucky number. He describes the album as being characterized by his own unique sound, with some coloration added from music of the 1990s. "I wasn’t trying to go crazy just to sound different to get radio spins. People will hear some of that classic Mobb Deep sound and the features I have on the album pretty much sums that up," he commented.


13 (Havoc album), Guests and production
In January 2013 Havoc confirmed Royce da 5'9" as a guest on the album along with saying he has "many other dope guest appearances" on the album. Once the track list was released it revealed features from Styles P, Raekwon, Lloyd Banks, Twista and Masspike Miles. It is also the first Havoc solo album to not feature Mobb Deep comrade, Prodigy. The album was primarily produced by Havoc himself along with a couple minor co-producers on some of the tracks. Statik Selektah would also produce the album's bonus track.

13 (Havoc album), Critical response
Upon release 13 received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 72, based on 5 reviews. David Jeffries of AllMusic gave the album four out of five stars saying, "13 already feels more vital than anything the Mobb has done since Amerikaz Nightmare from 2004.


13 (Havoc album), Critical response
Add the worthy single "Tell Me to My Face" with Royce da 5'9" and the ridiculously good, strange, and solid solo cut "Hear Dat" to the second half of the album and Havoc's solo effort seems like a cathartic kiss-off or kinetic gangster celebration.\" Ronald Grant of HipHopDX gave the album three out of five stars, saying "Appearances from kindred spirits such as Styles P, Raekwon, Royce Da 5’9 and Mysonne help add variety. But Havoc’s talents and willingness to experiment with his tried and true production formula can’t overcome the monotony of the subject matter in his rhymes."


13 (Havoc album), Critical response
Luke Fox of Exclaim! gave the album a six out of ten, saying "Even if you appreciate Havoc's reliability, you'll miss Prodigy's unpredictable diction. But as Hav and P (who also has a new disc on deck) squash their beef and celebrate the 20th anniversary of their '93 debut, Juvenile Hell, it's comforting to know a Mobb member can still churn out solid, steely-eyed murda music."


13 (Havoc album), Critical response
Reed Jackson of XXL gave the album an L, saying "The project is another solid effort to add to the impressive Mobb Deep catalogue, even though it’s the first that doesn’t feature contributions from both MCs. Unfortunately, Hav never really digs that deep here, and the elephant in the room prevents him from taking that next step forward."


13 (Indochine album)
13 is the 13th studio album by the French band Indochine, mixed by Mick Guzauski and released on 8 September 2017. The album topped the French, Swiss and Belgian French (Wallonia) charts.

13 (Norman Westberg album), Background
"His guitar, as singular source, becomes transformed through a web of outboard processes. He transforms vibrating strings completely, taking singular gesture and reshapes it through webs of delay, reverb and other treatments. To me, these works echo many of the concerns of American minimalism and sprawl towards the work of bands such as Stars of the Lid. Norman has created a very dense and powerful statement of intent with these recordings and I couldn't be more pleased to have some small part in helping to share them."


13 (Second Coming album)
13 is the third and final studio album by the band Second Coming, and the only one to feature guitarist Eric Snyder. Before releasing 13, the band put out a companion acoustic EP featuring five of the tracks.

13 (Solace album)
13 is the second album by American heavy metal band Solace. Considered heavier, angrier and musically more aggressive than its predecessor Further, 13 continued to raise Solace above their stoner rock stereotype with its heavy metal and doom metal influences, this time with help from Scott "Wino" Weinrich (The Obsessed, Saint Vitus, Spirit Caravan). With comparisons made between 13 and albums from heavy bands Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, Solace was dubbed "one of the freshest sounds the metal scene has ever cultivated".


13 (Solace album)
13 was released in 2003 on both CD and vinyl; the CD version contained 13 tracks, while the vinyl version featured two additional songs. The cover art was supplied by artist, fan and friend of Solace, Paul Vismara. It took Solace three years to complete the album.

(Has different running order of the tracks, "Untitled" is mentioned as "Shit Kisser" and spins without the silence in the beginning.)

The lyrics to the original songs on this album have never been officially released. It is commonly believed that their intensely personal nature prevents vocalist Jason from allowing their publication.

The song "Once Around the Sun (Deep Through Time)" has an introduction that features dialogue from the 1962 film The Creation of the Humanoids.


13 (Suicidal Tendencies album)
13 is the eleventh studio album by the American crossover thrash band Suicidal Tendencies. It was released on March 26, 2013. The album was recorded over a ten-year period at the band's studio "ST Studio", while additional recording took place at Interscope Studios, Stall #2 and Titan Studio.


13 (Suicidal Tendencies album)
13 is Suicidal Tendencies' first album containing original material since 2000's Free Your Soul and Save My Mind, although they had re-recorded their older material and released a handful of new songs on Friends & Family, Vol. 2 (2001), Year of the Cycos (2008) and No Mercy Fool!/The Suicidal Family (2010). 13 is also the band's only studio album with guitarist Nico Santora, bassist Stephen Bruner and drummer Eric Moore, and features five of Suicidal Tendencies' former members (Mike Clark, Ron Brunner, Dave Hildago, Josh Paul and Tim "Rawbiz" Williams), who are credited as "additional musicians".


13 (Suicidal Tendencies album), Background and recording
Since at least 2002, there had been speculation of a Suicidal Tendencies album featuring all-new original material, with extensive reports that many tracks had been recorded with longtime producer Paul Northfield, known for his work with progressive metal bands like Dream Theater, Queensrÿche and Rush. On September 11, 2002, Muir posted a message on the band's official website, stating that they would be in the studio "working on new ST songs", although he said the band was already in the studio before their European tour and were "really happy with the results".


13 (Suicidal Tendencies album), Background and recording
He also mentioned that the band would "record some new songs" before he would "go leave town on a business trip" and was hoping for an early 2003 release. In January 2003, it was reported that Suicidal Tendencies were set to enter the studio later in the month to begin work on the album. The band explained, "We've got a number of meetings and people coming from all over. We'll leave it at that for now.


13 (Suicidal Tendencies album), Background and recording
However, by the end of the month we should have a good idea as to how we plan on proceeding, and what we hope to accomplish musically and individually in the coming year. When decisions are made, we'll let you know." On October 10, 2003, Suicidal Tendencies mentioned on their official website that the band would be releasing "at least one, and possible two ST CDs" in 2004.


13 (Suicidal Tendencies album), Background and recording
On October 21, 2004, Suicidal Tendencies announced on their official website that they were still working on the new album and stated that this had "been a major highlight, proud spot and focal point for the band in terms of creativity and ability to move forward with its various musical and visual projects." The band also stated that they were working producer Paul Northfield on both the Suicidal album and new Infectious Grooves album.


13 (Suicidal Tendencies album), Background and recording
Later that month, the band issued the following statement in an effort to clear up possible misunderstandings with regards to their new project Return to Venice and the Suicidal Tendencies album. The band explained, "Return to Venice will be released before the real new Suicidal Tendencies album." Because of Mike Muir's back status, the band decided to release the compilation first. Obviously this album will have different artwork than the "new-cover-photo-idea", which has just been sent out to the guy who's gonna finalize the cover concept. Also, Return to Venice will feature a compilation of bands attached to Suicidal Records and/or Venice and will contain no re-recordings of the classic 1985 Welcome to Venice."


13 (Suicidal Tendencies album), Background and recording
On January 16, 2006, Muir posted an update on the band's official website that Suicidal Tendencies had returned to the studio again to begin work on the album, stating that Northfield had "flown back into town" and work had "started on the new Suicidal Tendencies CD".


13 (Suicidal Tendencies album), Background and recording
He also stated that the band would be "sorting, working on and finishing up all the projects" that the band hoped "to released in the next year...of course starting with the new Suicidal Tendencies CD" and wouldn't "be rushing back to do any shows or making any touring plans 'till after" the album would be completed.


13 (Suicidal Tendencies album), Background and recording
On March 3, 2006, Suicidal Tendencies posted the following update on the new album on their official website:


13 (Suicidal Tendencies album), Background and recording
The new stuff is sounding great. We're real excited at how it's all come together. Paul Northfield flew home and we're gonna live with the tracks for awhile, and he'll be back next month to make any changes and do the final mixes. We've been getting a lot of emails about the title of the record. We have a couple ideas for title and artwork, but we're gonna wait till the music is all done and deal with it then.


13 (Suicidal Tendencies album), Background and recording
Asked in February 2008 when the new album was expected to be released, Muir replied:


13 (Suicidal Tendencies album), Background and recording
Suicidal goes to Argentina next week and does a couple of festivals, so we do that then Infectious comes to Australia and does the Soundwave festival, then in April we do a month in Europe, then June and July we do another month and a half with Infectious Grooves, then about September the next Suicidal comes out then before that we put out a CD that is basically a compilation of all the stuff that's gonna be coming out.


13 (Suicidal Tendencies album), Background and recording
In February 2010, Mike Muir had noted that the new Suicidal Tendencies album would be released in late 2010, although this release date had already passed and at the band's performance at the FunFunFun Fest lineup at Waterloo Park in Austin, TX on November 7, 2010, he informed the crowd that a new album would be released in 2011.


13 (Suicidal Tendencies album), Background and recording
However, in May 2011, Muir told KillYourStereo.com that the new album would likely be released in 2012 as he was working on a Cyco Miko album in October, which would have a "taste of new Suicidal, old unreleased Suicidal, new Infectious Grooves, old Infectious Grooves and a bunch of other stuff as well."


13 (Suicidal Tendencies album), Background and recording
In November 2011, Mike Muir stated that Suicidal Tendencies had completed three new albums and they were "just putting them together in a time frame."


13 (Suicidal Tendencies album), Background and recording
On May 31, 2012, rhythm guitarist Mike Clark received a head injury during an incident at their May 31 concert in Santa Cruz, resulting in a concussion that also required nine staples to a gash on his head. Clark was replaced by Nico Santora.


13 (Suicidal Tendencies album), Background and recording
On December 5, 2012, Muir told Australia's Tone Deaf that Suicidal Tendencies were tracking drums at Dr. Dre's exclusive Interscope Studio, and recording "hundreds and hundreds of tracks" that they like.


13 (Suicidal Tendencies album), Background and recording
On February 21, 2013, it was reported that Suicidal Tendencies would release their new album, now called 13, on March 26.


13 (Suicidal Tendencies album), Title
The album's title has various meanings. The album's title is a reference to the fact that it contains 13 songs, and that it is Suicidal Tendencies' first full-length in 13 years. Also, 13 is Suicidal Tendencies' 13th studio release (counting Controlled by Hatred/Feel Like Shit...Déjà Vu, Still Cyco After All These Years, Six the Hard Way and No Mercy Fool!/The Suicidal Family) and was released in 2013, the 13th year of the 21st century. It shares the same title as Black Sabbath's 13, which was released three months later, and Megadeth's TH1RT3EN, which was released in 2011. The title is also similar to Anvil's 2007 album This Is Thirteen. The number is also a reference to the alleged gang affiliation of the band, as "13" is heavily used in California Mexican-American Sureño gang culture.


13 (Suicidal Tendencies album), Reception
Fred Thomas of AllMusic rated the album three-and-a-half stars out of five, and states, "Thirty years after their debut, they return with 13, their first album of new material in 13 years and coincidentally their 13th album. Produced by Suicidal frontman Mike Muir, the album includes 13 tracks of the type of petulant, cathartic, thrashy hardcore the band is known for and includes cameos by Larry Linkogle and Jimmy Fitzpatrick of Metal Mulisha as well as a gang of professional skaters adding their voices to the track "Show Some Love... Tear It Down.""


13 (Suicidal Tendencies album), Reception
13 was Suicidal Tendencies' first album since 1994's Suicidal for Life to enter the Billboard 200; however, the album debuted at #187, making it Suicidal Tendencies' lowest chart position at the time.


13 (The Doors album)
13 is the first compilation album by American rock band the Doors, released by Elektra Records on November 30, 1970. The title refers to the thirteen tracks included, which feature a variety of songs from their five studio albums released up to that point and the cover shrinkwrap originally featured a clear sticker that read: "A Collection of Thirteen Classic Doors Songs". It is the band's only compilation album released while lead singer Jim Morrison was alive.


13 (The Doors album)
The album reached No. 25 on the Billboard 200. It has been superseded by later Doors compilations, such as the highly successful The Best of the Doors (1985), and has not been reissued on CD.


13 (The Doors album), Background
13 was a project instigated by Elektra Records, who wanted product from the band for the Christmas season, to which the band reluctantly agreed. Morrison even agreed to shave off his beard for the album cover's photo shoot, but the label opted for a younger photo of the singer, which they had also done for the group's live album Absolutely Live, released in July of that year. As author Danny Sugerman observed in his memoir of the band, No One Here Gets Out Alive, "Elektra obviously wanted the 'pretty' Jim Morrison."


13 (The Doors album), Background
Morrison's image is also much larger than those of guitarist Robby Krieger, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, and drummer John Densmore, and Sugerman noted that, "Although Ray, Robby, and John had become accustomed to the attention directed towards their lead singer, it upset Jim." The album's back cover features the band posing with a small bust of Ludwig van Beethoven (some have mistakenly claimed it is of occultist Aleister Crowley).


13 (The Doors album), Critical reception
In a contemporary review in 1971, music critic Dave Marsh wrote that although the album does indeed contain "thirteen classic songs," it fails to deliver on any purpose other than compiling the most radio-friendly hits in one place. Marsh added that "no magnum opuses" were included in the collection. "No 'The End', no 'When the Music's Over', no 'Soft Parade' ... [ it] would have been decidedly uncommercial to have them included here ... Of course 'Five to One' isn't here; funny thing, outside of 'Unknown Soldier' none of the Doors' more controversial subject matter is included."


13 (The Doors album), Track listing
Details are taken from the 1970 U.S. Elektra album, which lists different songwriter credits than other Doors albums; other releases may show different information.


13 (Zeitoun novel)
13 is the debut novel of Canadian author Mary-Lou Zeitoun, first published in 2002 by Porcupine's Quill.


13 (Zeitoun novel)
The novel tells the story of a John Lennon obsessed 13-year-old girl called Marnie Harmon growing up in Ottawa in 1980.


13 (Zeitoun novel), Plot
Marnie Harmon is a 13-year-old girl growing up in Ottawa. Initially she attends an ordinary high school, where she is alienated from her peers, who don't understand her angst, her rejection of fashionable clothes. She experiences unwelcome attention from a male teacher, and when she tries to retaliate, she is the one who is punished, being sent to a Roman Catholic high school.


13 (Zeitoun novel), Plot
It is at the more controlled school that Marnie makes friends, among the schools other rebels. They engage in rebellious behavior, like underage drinking, and hanging out in strip clubs.


13 (Zeitoun novel), Plot
Her dream of running away to New York City, to meet her hero, John Lennon, is the narrative arc that cements the story.


13 (Zeitoun novel), Reception
In 2002 The Globe and Mail named Zeitoun one of their 10 "Writer's to Watch" based on 13 praising the novel and saying reading it was "like going through adolescence all over again".


13 (Zeitoun novel), Reception
Ray Robertson praised the novel's sparse narrative style, writing: "Whereas a less plot-conscious writer might have let Marnie marinate for 140 pages in her own emotional juices, stewing in the sop of her oh-so-sensitive soul, Zeitoun cleverly uses Marnie's obsession with meeting Lennon as a simple but effective storyline to hang a series of witty observations about the life of a properly alienated teenager."


13 (Zeitoun novel), Reception
Quill and Quire wrote: "First-time novelist Mary-Lou Zeitoun's 13 wryly evokes an unavoidable time and place in everyone's life – the teenage years – without rendering the experience into saccharine nostalgia."

This can be witnessed, for example, in the "Twelve Days of Christmas" of Western European tradition.

13 Alabama Ghosts and Jeffrey
13 Alabama Ghosts and Jeffrey is a book first published in 1969 by folklorist Kathryn Tucker Windham and Margaret Gillis Figh. The book contains thirteen ghost stories from the U.S. state of Alabama. The book was the first in a series of seven Jeffrey books, most featuring ghost stories from a Southern state. Jeffrey in the book's title refers to a ghost that allegedly haunts Windham's home.


13 Alabama Ghosts and Jeffrey, Origins of the book and Jeffrey
The foreword of the book describes how Windham came to be interested in ghost stories. It began with ghostly incidents in the Windham family home in Selma that Windham attributed to a spirit she dubbed "Jeffrey". At first, the family heard footsteps in rooms that would later be found empty. A supposed photograph of Jeffrey, included in the book, was taken inside the home. On the night the picture was made, some young people visiting the house decided to play with a Ouija board, trying to contact Jeffrey.


13 Alabama Ghosts and Jeffrey, Origins of the book and Jeffrey
When they developed the photos taken that night, a shadowy vaguely human-like shape was seen beside a girl in the photograph. Soon after it was taken Windham contacted Figh, who was a noted collector of ghost stories, to ask about Jeffrey. Out of that meeting, the idea of 13 Alabama Ghosts and Jeffrey was born.


13 Alabama Ghosts and Jeffrey, Origins of the book and Jeffrey
In the preface to the book, Windham says that although there are many ghost stories in Alabama, she wanted to choose stories for her book that had "entertained many generations" and were "a treasured part of Southern folklore". Windham sought stories from which she could describe not only the ghost, but also the community and lifestyles of the people who first reported the haunting. Windham spends as much time describing the people and places around the ghost stories as she does the ghost itself.


13 Alabama Ghosts and Jeffrey, Controversy
Despite being very popular in Alabama, the book attracted some controversy from certain Christians in the state who said that the book promoted beliefs incompatible with Christianity. In fact, Windham said that she had received letters from people telling her she is doomed to hell for writing the Jeffrey books. In an interview with The Birmingham News, Windham responded to these claims, saying "If I'm going to hell — and I can't deny that, because it's not for me to judge — it won't be for telling ghost stories; I have far greater shortcomings than that."


13 Alabama Ghosts and Jeffrey, Adaptations
13 Alabama Ghosts and Jeffrey has been adapted into a stage musical by Don Everett Garrett and Kevin Francis Finn. Kathryn Tucker Windham gave her blessing for the adaptation and saw the premiere at Red Mountain Theatre Company's Cabaret Theatre in October 2010, prior to her death. The musical is now available to schools and arts organizations from the authors.

13 Assassins (1963 film)
13 Assassins (Japanese: 十三人の刺客, romaji: Jūsan-nin no shikaku) is a 1963 Japanese jidaigeki (period drama) film directed by Eiichi Kudo.


13 Assassins (1963 film), Plot
In 1844, the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan is in a period of transition, and one of the high ranking lords,  Lord Matsudaira, has become tainted by his dissolute and reprobate misconduct. Many leaders in the governing community of the current government feel that the code of honor, bushido, of the samurai is being disgraced by Matsudaira. His reprobate, egotistical, and feckless lifestyle is disgusting to those who come into close contact with him. After receiving reports, Sir Doi is convinced that Matsudaira represents a severe threat to the entire code of honor for the samurai tradition. Sir Doi decides, because of the severity of Matsudaira's misconduct, to take a blood oath to assassinate the reprobate Lord Matsudaira. He enlists a troop of assassins to swear a similar blood oath to do away with Matsudaira in order to restore his country's wellbeing and code of honor.


13 Assassins (1963 film), Remake
The film was remade in 2010 by Takashi Miike. The remake was met with critical acclaim. BFI, in an assessment of the top ten samurai films, compared the remake of the film to the original version stating: "Set in 1844, 13 Assassins follows the Seven Samurai template, featuring a band of samurais who come together to overthrow a despotic lord for the greater good of society. Miike’s version benefits from a far more generous budget, with a wonderful attention to period sets and costumes and some inventively choreographed fight scenes."


13 Assassins (2010 film)
13 Assassins (Japanese: 十三人の刺客, Hepburn: Jūsannin no Shikaku) is a 2010 samurai film directed by Takashi Miike and starring Kōji Yakusho, Takayuki Yamada, Sōsuke Takaoka, Hiroki Matsukata, Kazuki Namioka, and Gorō Inagaki. A remake of Eiichi Kudo's 1963 Japanese period drama film 13 Assassins, it is set in 1844 toward the end of the Edo period in which a group of thirteen assassins—comprising twelve samurai and a hunter—secretly plot to assassinate Lord Matsudaira Naritsugu, the murderous leader of the Akashi clan, to thwart his appointment to the powerful Shogunate Council.


13 Assassins (2010 film)
The film marks the third time in which Yamada and Takaoka co-starred, the first two being Crows Zero and Crows Zero 2, both directed by Miike. Principal photography on 13 Assassins took place in the course of two months in Tsuruoka, Yamagata, in northern Japan, in the period from July to September 2009. The film opened in Japan on 25 September 2010 and in the United States on 29 April 2011. It received critical acclaim from western critics and compared it favorably with Kurosawa's work.


13 Assassins (2010 film), Plot
In the year 1844 of the Edo Period, as the Tokugawa Shogunate is in decline, the sadistic Lord Matsudaira Naritsugu of Akashi rapes, tortures, mutilates and murders nobles and commoners at will. He is shielded because the Shōgun is his half-brother. Sir Doi Toshitsura, the Shōgun's Justice Minister, realizes that when Naritsugu ascends to the Shogunate Council, civil war will break out between the Shōgun and the many feudal lords Naritsugu has offended.


13 Assassins (2010 film), Plot
Then, the feudal lord of the Mamiya clan publicly commits seppuku as a protest against the Shōgun's refusal to punish Lord Naritsugu, who has personally murdered the feudal lord's entire family. When the Shōgun still insists upon Naritsugu's promotion, Sir Doi seeks out a trusted older samurai, Shimada Shinzaemon, who served under the former shōgun, and secretly hires him to assassinate Naritsugu. However, Naritsugu's loyal retainers led by Hanbei, an old contemporary of Shinzaemon, learn of the plot by spying on Doi.


13 Assassins (2010 film), Plot
Shinzaemon gathers eleven trusted samurai including Shinzaemon's nephew, Shinrokurō, who together plan to ambush Naritsugu on his official journey from Edo to his lands in Akashi. Just before they leave, Hanbei arrives and warns his old colleague that he will suffer grave consequences if he tries to kill Naritsugu.


13 Assassins (2010 film), Plot
The group, with the legal authority and financial assistance of Doi, buy the help of the town of Ochiai in order to create a trap. They also enlist the help of Makino, a feudal lord whose daughter-in-law was raped and son murdered by Naritsugu. With troops, Makino blocks the official highway, forcing Naritsugu to head into the trap; Makino then disembowels himself to conceal his own involvement in the conspiracy. During the assassins' journey to the town, they are attacked by rōnin who have been paid off by Hanbei to kill the plotters. The group decides to head through the mountains but end up getting lost. In the process they encounter a hunter named Kiga Koyata who becomes their guide and later the thirteenth assassin.


13 Assassins (2010 film), Plot
The town is converted into an elaborate maze of booby traps and camouflaged fortifications. When Naritsugu and his retinue arrive, their numbers have been augmented by additional troops. The 13 assassins are no longer facing 70 men-at-arms; now they face at least 200. A lengthy battle follows, with Naritsugu and his guards trapped inside the village and attacked on all sides by arrows, explosives, knives, and swords - with the exception of Koyata, who fights with rocks in slings and with sticks. In the midst of the carnage, the sadistic Naritsugu is aroused by the bloodshed of the battle. He tells Hanbei that when he ascends to the Shōgun's council he will bring back the wars of the Sengoku Period.


13 Assassins (2010 film), Plot
The assassins are killed one by one, but not before they kill nearly all of the Akashi forces. Eventually, Naritsugu and Hanbei, along with two retainers, are the last remaining of the Naritsugu's party, and are confronted by Shinzaemon and Shinrokurō. After Shinzaemon kills Hanbei, Naritsugu kicks his loyal retainer's head away, insulting the samurai who has given his life for him. Contemptuously, he announces that the people and the samurai have only one purpose: to serve their lords.


13 Assassins (2010 film), Plot
Shinzaemon counters by telling Naritsugu that lords cannot live without the support of the people and that, if a lord abuses his power, the people will always rise up against him. Naritsugu and Shinzaemon mortally wound each other. Crying, crawling in the mud, and experiencing fear and pain for the first time, the lord thanks Shinzaemon for showing him excitement. Shinzaemon then decapitates him.


13 Assassins (2010 film), Plot
Shinrokurō wanders through the carnage and meets the hunter Koyata who, having suffered a fatal injury earlier, runs up to him with characteristic vigor, unharmed. They make their separate ways out of the town after they briefly discuss how they intend to live their lives from then onwards. An epilogue states that the Shōgun and his government covered up what really occurred, announcing that Naritsugu died of illness on the journey back to his lands. Twenty-three years later, the Tokugawa Shogunate would be overthrown during the Meiji Restoration.


13 Assassins (2010 film), Production
13 Assassins was produced through Toshiaki Nakazawa's film outfit, Sedic International, and Jeremy Thomas's Recorded Picture Company. Nakazawa had previously worked with director Takashi Miike on The Bird People in China and Andromedia (both in 1998), Yakuza Demon (2003), and Sukiyaki Western Django (2007). At the start of production, Thomas said he was pleased to be working again with "wonderful Japanese filmmakers like Toshiaki Nakazawa and Takashi Miike, whose work speaks for itself as being amongst the most successful and innovative coming from Japan". Nakazawa replied that he would like Thomas "to wear a sword also, and with one more assassin, together we will send out the fourteen assassins over there". Of his approach in directing the film, Miike said:


13 Assassins (2010 film), Production
I felt that all of us working on our remake of 13 Assassins had to honour the original director, Eiichi Kudo, and everyone else who created the original. It was important to avoid doing what most modern-day chanbara do, which is to insert a love story, or interpose modern-day mindsets. Over the years, people have remade Kurosawa movies, but failed every time because they have not been able to adapt the story into something young audiences can understand.


13 Assassins (2010 film), Production
Having been a fan of Kōji Yakusho's acting, Miike made it a priority that he be cast in the leading role. In addition, he sought younger actors to play the assassins, in particular Sousuke Takaoka and Takayuki Yamada, with whom Miike had worked in his two films, Crows Zero (2007) and its sequel Crows Zero 2 (2009). The film's screenplay was written by Daisuke Tengan, who had also written the screenplay for Miike's film Audition (1999).


13 Assassins (2010 film), Production
The film entered production over a two-month period. Principal photography began in July 2009 on a large open-air set in Tsuruoka in the Yamagata Prefecture in northern Japan. The filming of the action scenes took about three weeks and was met with minor weather-related difficulties. Miike had strayed from the use of CGI in the film as well as planning the scenes via storyboarding, insisting on shooting the scenes right away. In a separate interview, however, Miike said that some CGI were used, albeit minimal.


13 Assassins (2010 film), Production
Over half of the thirteen actors playing the assassins were reportedly inexperienced in sword fighting and horseback riding, and Miike wanted them to be just that, explaining, "If the actors had been skilled from the beginning, and had been in several samurai movies before, the way they approached the action would've been different; they probably would've ended up being something they were doing to look good or be beautiful, or to fall into the trappings of the stereotypical form that they had." Filming concluded in early September 2009.

Manohla Dargis chose 13 Assassins as her Critic's Pick for The New York Times, describing it as "A stirring, unexpectedly moving story of love and blood".


13 Assassins (2010 film), Release, Critical reception
V. A. Musetto of the New York Post said the film complements Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai (1954) and Ran (1985), describing Miike's film as "a pulse-quickening masterpiece that would please the mighty Kurosawa". Mark Schilling of The Japan Times commended Miike's direction and the performance of the ensemble cast (including Kōji Yakusho's). Schilling gave the film 4 stars out of 5, but, notwithstanding other favorable comparisons, he noted that it barely "strike[s] the deeper chords" of Seven Samurai.


13 Assassins (2010 film), Release, Critical reception
Tom Mes of Film Comment said the film "culminates in a riveting, ingeniously plotted, and inventively shot 45-minute battle scene that few contemporary Japanese directors besides Miike could pull off, either logistically or artistically". Leslie Felperin of Variety praised the film's technical aspects, describing Kenji Yamashita's editing as "gracefully executed", Kazuhiro Sawataishi's costume design as "terrific, character-defining", and Kōji Endō's soundtrack as "rousing, propulsive score".

13 Beloved, Production
"There are plenty of movies out there that are only for fun," Chukiat said in an interview. "I am more interested in political and social issues, so my movies address these and human issues as well. All in all, movies do address the state of being human, with themes such as love, and obsessions of one kind or another. But some just scratch the surface.


13 Beloved, Production
Thailand's prime minister at the time, Thaksin Shinawatra, is directly referenced in the film – his photo is on the newspaper that Phuchit uses to swat a fly.

The film was hailed critically as well, with the Bangkok Post's Kong Rithdee calling it a "smart, ambitious commercial film" with shortcomings that "are the results of risk-taking rather than of incompetence." Maggie Lee, writing for The Hollywood Reporter, called 13 Beloved "one of those accomplished suspense thrillers that mount the tension stage by stage without running out of steam at the end, it is also an unyieldingly cynical exploration of the human heart of darkness with an oedipal climax that makes it a field-day for Freudians."


13 Beloved, American remake
Remake rights for the film were purchased by The Weinstein Company. The remake was released in 2014 titled 13 Sins.

13 Boötis
13 Boötis is a solitary variable star in the northern constellation of Boötes, and is positioned near the western constellation border with Ursa Major. It has the variable star designation CF Boötis, often abbreviated CF Boo, while 13 Boötis is the star's Flamsteed designation. This star has a reddish hue and is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude that fluctuates around 5.26. It is located at a distance of approximately 700 light years from the Sun based on parallax, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −14 km/s.


13 Boötis
This is an aging red giant star on the asymptotic giant branch with a stellar classification of M1.5III, which is interpreted by stellar evolutionary models to mean it has exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core then cooled and expanded off the main sequence. It is classified as an slow irregular variable of the Lb type, and its brightness has been observed to vary from +5.29 down to +5.38. The star has ~74 times the girth of the Sun and is radiating 1,114 times the Sun's luminosity from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,889 K.


13 Boötis
There is a magnitude 11.05 visual companion located at an angular separation of 76.40 arcseconds from the brighter star, along a position angle of 270°. This was first reported by William Herschel in 1783.


13 Boötis, Possible planetary system
In 1991, Duquennoy & Mayor reported the possible presence of a low-mass object (of likely substellar nature) orbiting the red giant 13 Bootis. They set a minimum mass of 30 times that of Jupiter (likely a brown dwarf) and estimated an orbital period of 1.35 years. So far there has been no confirmation about the presence a substellar object.


13 Bullets
13 Bullets is a vampire novel by David Wellington, published in serial online in March, 2006.


13 Bullets, Plot introduction
13 Bullets takes place in Pennsylvania in the year 2003, in a setting similar to the real world, but where vampires and other supernatural forces are rare but accepted phenomena. It is widely believed that vampires were all but wiped out twenty years ago by Special Deputy Jameson Arkeley. The last vampire still in existence, Justinia Malvern, long imprisoned in a nearly abandoned sanitarium, has somehow managed to bestow her vampiric curse to the outside world and is working to free herself of human confinement. Pennsylvania State Trooper Laura Caxton is assigned to assist Arkeley hunt down the vampires running loose in rural Pennsylvania.


13 Bullets, Vampire nature in 13 Bullets
The vampires in David Wellington's novel seem to lose all their human appearances once turned. Their ears become pointed, their hair falls out, all teeth become wickedly sharp, and skin color always becomes pale white, regardless of ethnicity and pigmentation in life. The vampire must remain in a coffin during the day, as their bodies literally die each sunrise, and flesh melts into a noxious fluid, with dead skin and maggots. They are put together when dusk comes, thus getting a new body at night. Physical damage, such as mangled ears, is repaired each morning, but atrophy due to blood-starvation is not.


13 Bullets, Vampire nature in 13 Bullets
The method of transferring the curse is very different from the "traditional" way. To transfer the curse one must accept the vampire's invitation to undeath, and then kill one's self to be reborn.


13 Bullets, Vampire nature in 13 Bullets
Vampires also have the power to resurrect their victims from the dead to create undead servants. These "half-deads" quickly decay, and thus have weak and fragile bodies. In one scene, Arkeley tells Caxton, that the half-deads are "cowards" and are very easily frightened, though they seem to stand their ground despite massive casualties in later encounters. In combat, they typically use knives and other hand-to-hand weapons, as their hand-eye coordination is too poor to properly use firearms.


13 Bullets, Vampire nature in 13 Bullets
Vampires are nearly unstoppable. They exhibit increased speed and vastly enhanced physical strength (enough to twist open a steel padlock using bare hands). As long as they have a supply of blood, they can heal grievous wounds, including massive brain injuries, in seconds. The only way to kill one is by destroying the heart, which is protected by an area of steel-hard skin. The vampire is weakest when it regurgitates blood - usually to feed another vampire - and can potentially be killed with a single shot at this moment. Arkeley himself uses a Glock .23 with cross-pointed bullets, which fragment within the target's body. It is suggested that a vampire with reserves of consumed blood in its body may be able to heal damage to its heart in time to prevent its death.


13 Bullets, Vampire nature in 13 Bullets
Unlike most traditional vampires, Wellington's vampires do age to a degree, with the result that their need for blood increases significantly as their body decays over time; the oldest vampire in the series, at over three centuries of age, has reached a point where she will allegedly require five to six gallons of blood just to walk on her own, with younger vampires taking on the responsibility of 'feeding' their elders by bringing them blood.


13 Bullets, Release details
13 Bullets was printed in book form in 2007 by Three Rivers Press.


13 Bullets, Reception
13 Bullets has gathered mostly positive reviews from horror fans. Flamesrising.com called the novel a “modern action adventure with deadly vampires, great writing and a few clever plot twists”. Revish stated that Wellington's work was “a worthy addition to an overcrowded genre”.

13 Ceti is a triple star system in the equatorial constellation of Cetus. It is dimly visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 5.20. The system is located at a distance of approximately 69 light years from the Sun based on stellar parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +10.4 km/s. It shares a common motion with the Hyades moving group, although it is too old to be a member.


13 Ceti
This star was identified as a visual binary system by G. W. Hough in 1844 and given the identifier HO 212. The pair have an orbital period of 6.9 years and an eccentricity of 0.77. The brighter member, designated component A, is an F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F6 V and a visual magnitude of 5.61. It appears to have an active chromosphere and is classified as an RS Canum Venaticorum variable with a variable star designation of BU Cet.

13 Ceti
In 1907, E. B. Frost discovered the primary is a spectroscopic binary, making this a triple star system. This is a double-lined spectroscopic binary with a period of 2.1 days and a circularized orbit. The companion signature was confirmed using the separated fringe packet technique with the CHARA array. It is most likely a K-type main-sequence star with a class of K3.5 V and 70% of the mass of the Sun.


13 Ceti
The secondary member of the visual binary, designated component B, is a G-type main-sequence star with a class of G4 V. It has 90% of the Sun's mass and a visual magnitude of 6.90. A distant visual companion to this system was detected by S. W. Burnham in 1877. Designated component C, this star is a background object of magnitude 12.50. As of 1999, it was located at an angular separation of 24.0″ from the primary along a position angle of 322°.


13 Chapters
13 Chapters is a compilation album of Sweetbox with singer and songwriter Jade Villalon as frontwoman. It was released in 2004 in Europe, and in 2005 in Taiwan. It has a blend of various hit songs both from her new album After the Lights and her previous one, Adagio. The Taiwanese edition comes with a VCD. Its main purpose was to blend an array of popular songs from albums, Adagio and upcoming After the Lights, for promotion purposes, and to sell in a region Sweetbox had not released many albums in. Many of Adagio's songs were left out, with only 3 from Adagio on making it to this album, and some songs from After The Lights, such as "Girl from Tokyo", "Crown of Thorns", "Don't Wanna Kill You", and others did not make it as well.

13 Comae Berenices
13 Comae Berenices is a probable binary star system in the northern constellation of Coma Berenices. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 5.17, which is bright enough to be faintly visible to the naked eye. With an annual parallax shift of 12.33 mas, it is located around 260 light years from the Sun. It is member of the nearby Coma Star Cluster (Melotte 111).


13 Comae Berenices
Based on measured changes in the star's motion, this is most likely an astrometric binary system. The visible component is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A3 V. It is catalogued as an Alpha2 Canum Venaticorum variable with the designation GN Com. Rensom (1990) listed it as a suspected Am star. The system is a source of X-ray emission, which may be coming from the companion.


13 Commandments
13 Commandments (Dutch: 13 Geboden) is a 2017 Dutch-language (Flemish) television series starring Dirk van Dijck, Marie Vinck and Karlijn Sileghem. The plot revolves around Peter Devriendt (Dirk van Dijck), a divorced father and veteran cop working for Belgium’s Federal Criminal Police, and his new partner Vicky Degraeve (Marie Vinck). A serial killer begins a crime spree with the mission to punish individuals who have committed acts that counter the Ten Commandments.


13 Commandments, Plot
The body of a 16-year old Turkish teenage girl is found in the town of Aalst, her throat cut. The police assume it to be an honour killing committed by her uncle but are stymied by the family's refusal to testify. Within a day, the suspect himself is found under a bridge, badly burned but alive. On the bridge above him, someone has sprayed the words "Thou shalt have no other gods", referencing the first commandment.


13 Commandments, Plot
This is the first in a series of crimes, committed by someone going by the name of Moses, each of which is in some way inspired by one of the Ten Commandments. Those who have been perceived to have violated the Commandments are hunted down and punished without mercy. Two police detectives, Vicky Degraeve (Marie Vinck) and Peter Devriendt (Dirk Van Dijck) are assigned to find the vigilante but are increasingly hindered by the public opinion, which supports Moses despite his excesses.


13 Commandments, Release
13 Commandments was released on September 10, 2018 on VTM.
