The concept of the Mary Sue character has been a controversial topic in literature and media for years. The term originally came from fan fiction and referred to an idealized and perfect self-insert character. In recent times, the term has been expanded to describe any character, regardless of gender, who is seemingly flawless and overpowered, with little explanation for their abilities or backstory.
One of the main criticisms of Mary Sue characters is that they do not go through the hero’s journey, a classic storytelling structure where the protagonist faces challenges and obstacles that help them grow and develop into a hero. Instead, Mary Sue characters start at the end of their journey, already possessing all the skills and abilities necessary to defeat any foe effortlessly.
This lack of character development and growth makes it difficult for readers or viewers to connect with Mary Sue characters on a deeper level. Without knowing their backstory or understanding their motivations, it’s hard to empathize or root for them. Furthermore, the lack of a hero’s journey deprives the audience of the satisfaction of watching a character overcome obstacles and grow into a hero.
One example of a Mary Sue character is Rey from the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Rey is introduced as a scavenger on the desert planet of Jakku, with no apparent training or experience in combat or the Force. Yet, she is able to defeat Kylo Ren, a trained Sith apprentice, in a lightsaber duel. This victory is not only unrealistic, but it also robs Rey of the opportunity to develop her skills and undergo a hero’s journey.
In contrast, Galadriel from J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings is an example of a well-developed character who undergoes a hero’s journey. Galadriel is a powerful elf queen who possesses great wisdom and magic, but she also has a tragic backstory and a desire to use her power for good. When faced with the troll in the Mines of Moria, Galadriel initially holds back, allowing her companions to fight. However, when the situation becomes dire, she joins the battle and uses her power to defeat the troll. This victory is hard-won and comes at a cost, as many of her friends are killed in the process. Galadriel’s journey is one of growth and self-discovery, making her a much more compelling character than a Mary Sue.
Over the years, there have been many attempts to create successful female-led action movie franchises. Unfortunately, many of these attempts have failed, leading to the assumption that audiences are not interested in seeing women in lead roles in action movies. However, the real reason why so many female-led action movie franchises fail is that the character is just a male character with a new coat of paint and some kind of politically correct gloss to it. This approach does not create a compelling character that appeals to both male and female audiences.
One of the biggest issues with many female-led action movies is that the lead character is often written and portrayed as a carbon copy of a male action hero. This means that the character has the same traits and qualities that male heroes have, such as physical strength, aggression, and a willingness to use violence to achieve their goals. While it’s important for female characters to be strong and capable, simply copying male hero tropes does not create a unique or interesting character. It also reinforces the idea that the only way for a woman to be successful in an action movie is to act like a man.
Another problem with many female-led action movies is the tendency to add some kind of politically correct gloss to the character or storyline. This can manifest in various ways, such as making the character a feminist icon or including themes of diversity and inclusivity. While these are all important issues, simply adding them to a movie does not guarantee its success. In fact, it can often feel forced and preachy, turning off both male and female audiences.
One of the biggest problems with this approach is that it assumes that male audiences are not interested in seeing a female lead in an action movie unless she is a perfect feminist icon. This is simply not true. Male audiences are just as capable of appreciating a well-written and well-acted female lead as female audiences are. However, when the character is just a poorly disguised male hero, there is no need for male audiences to watch. They can simply watch a male-led action movie that does the same thing, only better.
Ellen Ripley, the iconic heroine of the Alien franchise, is a character that stands out in the world of action movies. Unlike many other action heroes of the time, Ripley was a relatable and unforced character. She was a single mom doing a tough job, trying to deal with incompetent and arrogant people, and surviving out of sheer persistence. Ripley was a character that anyone in the late 70s could recognize, and that is precisely what makes her such a timeless and powerful figure.
Ripley’s strength and resilience are not derived from any kind of special powers or abilities. Instead, she is a character who uses her wits, resourcefulness, and determination to overcome the challenges she faces. As the lone survivor of the Nostromo, she shows incredible courage and resourcefulness in defeating the titular Alien, a perfect killing machine. She is not a character who relies on brute force or overwhelming firepower, but rather on her intelligence and ingenuity.
One of the most significant aspects of Ripley’s character is her relatability. She is a single mom who lives with her cat as her only companion, trying to do her job in a hostile and dangerous environment. Her struggles with the incompetent and arrogant people around her are something that many people can identify with, whether they work on an oil platform or in any other traditionally male profession. Ripley’s character shows that it is possible for anyone to be strong and resilient, regardless of their gender, age, or background.
Another essential aspect of Ripley’s character is her toughness. She is not a character who shies away from danger or avoids difficult situations. Instead, she faces them head-on, using her intelligence and resourcefulness to overcome them. Her determination to survive and protect others is what makes her such a compelling and inspiring character. Her strength and resilience are not just physical, but also mental and emotional. She is a character who is not afraid to show vulnerability, but who also never gives up, no matter how dire the situation.
In many ways, Ripley’s character is ahead of its time. She is a strong and capable woman who is not defined by her gender or stereotypes. She is a character who can be an inspiration to anyone, regardless of their gender, age, or background. Ripley’s character shows that it is possible to be a hero without conforming to traditional gender roles or expectations.
In conclusion, Ellen Ripley is an iconic action movie heroine who stands out for her relatability, toughness, and resilience. She is a character that anyone in the late 70s could recognize, and that is precisely what makes her such a timeless and powerful figure. Her strength and resilience are not derived from any kind of special powers or abilities, but from her intelligence, resourcefulness, and determination. Ripley is a character who can be an inspiration to anyone, regardless of their gender, age, or background. She is a hero for our time and for all time.

“blue is a song about never changing the human spirit that lives inside your heart, even in the moments of our lives we feel emotionally crippled and incapable, navigating through difficult experiences and emotions that chip away the vulnerable parts of our hearts and amplify our deepest conflicts. To always live and be the real you whatever the weather.”


This is just a blog post. Their eyes are everywhere. I mean, besides that the play would be a rip-off if he just went and stabbed Claudius immediately. These other reasons are:
Just as the front doors opened, revealing a panting Amelia Bones and a small squad of rather exhausted-looking Aurors, two foot-long metal spikes hit the troll, one in its throat and the other in its left eye. The troll roared in pain, stumbling toward its attacker.
It took the troll a full ten seconds to realize that, yes, in fact, it was dead, and fall forward, driving the spikes further into its body as it collapsed with a ground-shaking thud onto the flagstones.
Used for dramatic effect in Saving Private Ryan during the Normandy scene, where severely injured soldiers in the throes of shell-shock wander the battlefield before succumbing. In Ghost Shipa thin wire rips through everyone on the dance-floor of the ship, instantly cutting them all in half; and yet they remain standing perfectly upright Something similar happened in Underworld where Selene decapitates Victor.
And it takes several seconds for his head to fall off.
In one of the The Pink Panther movies, a ninja-master gives a demonstration where he strikes a rock, and nothing happens; then he leaves, and the entire room collapses. During the gunfight at the end of the movie, Julian and Slade have a stand off during which Slade is shot but doesn't notice until Julian points it out to him.
Darth Maul takes a second to realize he's been cut in half at the end of the climactic fight scene in The Phantom Menace.
A more peaceful version than usual. Of those who ran Larkhill, Dr. Delia Surridge is the only one to express genuine remorse for her actions, so V grants her a quick, painless death via an injection of poison while she's asleep. He then wakes her and they have a conversation where she apologizes to him before dying.
Are you going to kill me now? Is it meaningless to apologize? Jet Li then has time to describe what is about to happen, right before starting the process of death by yanking the needle out and walking out of the room.
The bad guy then starts to have extreme pain and blood starts leaking out of every possible opening until he dies. In the obscure horror film Skinned Deep, the Surgeon General takes a swing at a kid with his knife.
Nothing seems to happen, and the kid remarks that he missed. Cue kid splitting in half. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl: Barbossa takes a few moments to realize that Jack didn't waste that last shot. The guy who challenged Kyuzo to a duel first with sticks, then with swords in The Seven Samurai.
Kikuchiyo's death could also qualify.Hamlet and Revenge Revenge is on Hamlet's mind, but why does he fail to act for so long?

These paintings are loosely based on black and white or colour, Japanese wood block prints of the Oban period. My interest was in the dramatic poses struck by the actors in this dance, an informal piece of theatre when compared to the court form of masked, No theatre. Each figure provided a collection of shapes where I could explore colour, texture and pattern.
Number 1 is based on the actor Ichikawa Danjuro performing the dance drama Tokiwa Genji as portrayed by Kiyotada, c 1720.
Number 2 is based on a Torii Kiyonobu II print of 1726. Number 3 is based on Torii Kiyomasu’s print of Ichikawa Danjuro I, striking the pose ‘Shibaraku’ (halt). Number 4, shows Arashi Rikan II, acting the part of the samurai Mashiba Hisayoshi (Hideyoshi), as depicted by the printmaker Ashiyuki, 1830.

It was a strange community.
They never seemed to get together, or even to communicate at the most basic level, until someone suggested they arrange a happening.

Savannah, Ga. (WTGS FOX 28) — Savannah serves as the backdrop for yet another movie, adding to its already growing film industry.
"Savannah is just a gorgeous place to shoot anything. The scenery, the history," said Norm Novitsky.
That's why he, along with writer Tom Salari, decided to film "In Search of Liberty", in the city. Wednesday, they hosted a movie screening at the Savannah Theater.
Novitsky is the director and producer and says the movie is an educational dramedy about the U.S. Constitution done in a very fun way.
"We take this historical figure from the past. We bring him in to the present and we have him take a journey with a modern day family of four going through the key elements of the Constitution and the importance of the document," Novitsky said.
Cast members like Bobby Deen say they had a good time shooting the movie.
"I'd say it's kind of a magic carpet ride through American history," he stated.
Deen, who plays a character named David Ellis in the film, says the project has opened up his eyes in a new way.
"People are really paying attention to what's going on in the United States and all around the world politically and you know it's--everybody should know what their rights and liberties are," said Deen.
With the film's focus on history, Novitsky says historic Savannah was meant to be involved.
"'In Search of Liberty' belonged in a city like this."
Novitsky says the film has been in the works for six years. But it took six weeks to shoot; four of them being in Savannah.
"In Search of Liberty" will be officially released on August 29th.

Akemi enjoys the best of both worlds - sunny, warmer weather and frolicking in the snow. It was ~45°F (7°C) this afternoon.
We spent a part of our day sealed up in the darkness watching "Red Tails," a movie about the 332nd Fighter Group, better known as the Tuskegee Airmen. At the start of the film, it felt like this was going to be a waste of my time and money, rife with hokey scenes, cliches, and cut-out characters. As the turbulence settled, I was able to enjoy the movie, despite playing by the numbers.
"Red Tails" was not a horrible movie, but the movie should have been a lot better to honor the real people, the struggle for acceptance, and the monumental achievement this was to have portrayed.


Jim Halpert: Hey Andy, by any chance did you see Battlestar Galactica last night?
Andy Bernard: No, I didn't. Is it any good?
Jim Halpert: Actually not. It was really so-so.
Dwight Schrute: Okay...
[Jim threatens with the stopwatch]
Jim Halpert: I mean like all the crazy monsters and stuff, you know like Klingons and Wookiees and all of that...
[Dwight turns to respond, but Jim shows the stopwatch again]
Jim Halpert: I'm sorry, Dwight, did you want to say something?
Andy Bernard: Was that anything like the original Battlestar Galactica?
Jim Halpert: You know it's weird, it's practically a shot-for-shot remake.
Andy Bernard: Really? Huh... that's cool.
Jim Halpert: Yeah, and the story is kinda bland. It's about this guy, Dumbledore Calrissian, who's got to take The Ring back to Mordor.
Andy Bernard: Really? That doesn't sound right.

|The Huia 1 Cast of Romeo and Juliet|
The thing I did well was speaking slowly and clearly because I didn't race my lines or words together. If I did this again, I would do more action because I didn't do much.
The people who I think have improved the most are Jessica (Juliet) and Cameron W (Romeo) because they had to remember a lot of lines and do a lot of actions too. The person who I think was the angriest was Tybalt, played by Karnjeet, because he really acted like he was really angry. The best death, I think, was Jackie (Mercutio) because he really took the spotlight when he was dying. Latrey - Benvolio
At first I was really shy, but at the end I really wanted a part because I had got more confident. Next time I'll get a part. The funniest part was when they all die because when they stabbed people, everyone started laughing. I have learnt that Shakespeare is actually not that boring.
If I do Romeo and Juliet again, I would be Juliet because I am sure I can do that role because I'm loud and can show emotion.
My favourite parts were the balcony scene because Juliet was talking about Romeo and how nice he was. But Romeo pops up and Juliet was shocked that he was listening. I also liked how everyone died at the end. Ramandeep - understudy and narrator
My favourite part was when the families realised they both were wrong and didn't fight any more. The funniest part was when Romeo died and Juliet woke up straight away. It was the worst timing in the world!
The scariest part for me was when I had to lament that Juliet had died because I had trouble with that.
I now fully understand the Romeo and Juliet story and could probably recite it in my own words.
I think the most improved class member was Jessica (Juliet) because she has come a long way with her actions and expression. Caitlin - Lady Capulet
This week we did drama and we practised a lot. I learnt all the boys' narrator parts, and my favourite one was, "A glooming peace . . . " My favourite part was when Tybalt killed Mercutio, and then Romeo killed Tybalt. My favourite insult was "Me thinks you stink !"
Next time, if I get to choose who I want to be, I would be Lord Montague because he doesn't talk too much and he is strict. I think Romeo (Cameron W) was really good, and the best death was Paris's (Danny).
The play was written by William Shakespeare over 400 years ago. I learnt that William Shakespeare lived in England and he did plays in the Globe Theatre during the day because there was no light at night time. Akjot - narrator
This week we performed a play in front of an audience. My favourite part was the death scenes because before they died, they sad their lines very well. I learnt many Shakespearean insults during our play, like:
"Maggot pie!"I have easily learnt the narrators' part but I wasn't used to the cue. If I did it again, I would still be a Capulet and a narrator, but do even better than before.
The funniest part was the murderers with the daggers. I think the most improved is Jessica (Juliet), and Cameron W (Romeo) has improved as well because he looks at the audience a lot. In the balcony scene, there was a soliloquy where Juliet spoke her thoughts aloud to the audience. Bridget - narrator
I played Lady Montague and I don't think I was loud enough, though at first, I was really scared. At first, before I was about to start, I forgot my words. I just went blank, but then my words came back. After a while, I wasn't scared - but I only had to say one line, so that was good. I thought how we were screaming our insults was cool, and it was fun. With the cues, we came in too slow sometimes - but most of the times it was good. I did well because I didnt go through it too fast. If it did it again, I would be louder. It felt good after I finished because it went really well.
The funniest part was the killing scenes because the characters were really good at dying. I think the most improved was Tonu as Lord Montague because he was really shy at first and yet he got up there and did it well. My favourite scene was the balcony scene because it's cute how Romeo pops out and Juliet got scared. Tegan - Lady Montague
I learnt how to say my insult violently. My insult was "Dung hill!", and my one was the best and loudest. When I had to say my part, I think I said something funny because people started to laugh. But overall, I am proud of myself because I haven't performed in a long time. I have achieved a lot of things with my acting and my lines. I think Lord Montague (Tonu) has got more confident in the play - better than when we were doing our rehearsal. I didn't expect that from him. Glenton - Capulet servant
|Count Paris, Prince Escalus and Friar Lawrence|


University Theatre presents an extraordinary new take on Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre:
the classic Victorian tale of Jane Eyre (performed by Brittney Harris, a second year MFA acting major from Norfolk, VA), an orphan who becomes a governess and falls in love with the estate’s owner, Mr. Rochester (John Terry, a second year MFA acting major from Elko, NV), who hides a mysterious madwoman named Bertha (Brandy Sexton, a senior theatre and English education major from Loganville, GA) in his attic. Directed by David Crowe, Polly Teale’s play focuses on the private lives of Jane and Bertha, contrasting the modest and disciplined former with the wild and unhinged latter as a method of exploring the dichotomy of repression and freedom.
The production, a signature event of the Spotlight on the Arts festival, will be held in the Fine Arts Theatre Wednesday, Nov. 2–Saturday, Nov. 5 and Wednesday, Nov. 9–Friday, Nov. 11 at 8 p.m., with a final matinee performance on Sunday, Nov. 13 at 2:30 p.m.
Such high-level, dramatic performance artistry inspires our programs even as they attract these talented students to campus. If it's been a while since you've seen a University Theatre production, do yourself a favor. Tickets.

I know a lot of people are on the There Will Be Bloodsquad, seems fairly in vogue, and it’s a fine film with an overwhelming singular performance and expertly directed but I’m split in between Miyazaki’s Spirited Away and Cuarón’s Children of Men.
I’d probably lean toward the Studio Ghibli film because I do believe in the value of a good time and when we are talking about films of this most upper level, we look for qualities to give one the edge over the other and for me the fact that it’s an all ages film is a point for it, and why the run something like Pixar has had is so extraordinary.
Spirited Away is flawless and Children of Men might be the best science fiction film I’ve ever seen.
I will say that I find myself continually going back and thinking about Arrvial, which is based on a Ted Chiang story, whose collection of short fiction is the one collection you buy if you are just going to buy one.
… need their own movie immediately and I’d be shocked if it already isn’t in some stages of being written.
I’ve only seen it once thus far so I’m not prepared to say they are the best part of Ralph Breaks the Internet but their part in the film is flawless and screams for more, not just in the sense of the obvious commercial vertical filler it represents but I actually came away thinking this needs to be a major franchise now.
The only part that doesn’t make sense is that it didn’t happen 20 years ago.
The movie itself is good, Disney Animation has been rolling and these things take a long time to make so it’s hard to say where we are at post-Lasseter or when we will be post-Lasseter but it’s a solid film that I suspect will feast for Disney until Mary Poppins comes out next month.
Wreck-It Ralph kind of came out of nowhere as is part of the strong return of Disney Animation after it felt like they were taking a backseat to their fellow Magic Kingdom vassal Pixar and this is a worthy sequel after the trailers felt a little gimmicky to me, but to be fair, these are made for kids, it should have that kind of contemporary sheen to it.
I’d really like to see more Big Hero 6.
This is an as of today tally on my favorite original Netflix movies in no particular order.
Okaja – look at the cast. Tilda Swinton, Giancarlo Esposito (love this guy), Jake Gyllenhaal, Paul Dano, and young Ahn Seo-hyun in this magical movie directed by Bong Joon-ho. It’s a rare movie that offers up something in actual substantive theme and craft & style while still also being an entertaining watch.
It’s a work of such evident sincerity that it’s hard to forget it even after you get past the grand imagination of it all.
To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before – Netflix has decided to grab on to this teenage YA romantic comedy segment we don’t see a lot of anymore and I’m guessing it’s crushing for them, not only offering films people have a desire to see, but cultivating a generation of young viewers for whom Netflix will remain life-ubiquitous.
This movie is just feel good, fun, a loud and seamless shot of representation, a young star maker and is the most rewatched movie by my goddaughter this year for sure. It’s an institution here and super cute and charming.
Set It Up – see above. Netflix’s algo is clearly saying people want romantic comedies and they made one that may be the most easily recommendable one in a decade. You may not love it but it’s awfully hard not to like.
There are other films like The Meyerowitz Stories or Mudblood that I considered (and def Top 10, and movies people should watch) but I think, especially with the last two, Netflix is carving out this space I’m not getting anywhere else but feels like should be everywhere.
Further, Okja and To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before have Asian flavor. The best kind.
I think for awhile now I’ve thought I’ve seen every season of Archer. I’m a giant fan of the show even though I thought the last season (the one I saw – “Archer in Dreamland”) was perhaps my least favorite but lol apparently there’s another season already out and more on the way.
Continue reading “Not the Final Season of Archer?”
What the title says.
I saw Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald today and there’s a lot I think not to love but maybe to like in this movie, or at least it offers a lot of questions and discussion points rather clumsily.
That said, every scene with Jude Law, aka Young Dumbledore, is a good movie. The Young Pope. Yup, Jude has all the cool hip hop names.

I started watching Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. when it first came out and thought it was not horrible but also not worth holding on to but I used to watch Collider TV Talk on Youtube and they has a host named Sinead who was constantly straight ride of die for it so I filed it under get back to later.

I finally caught up to The 100, which is available on Netfix, and I’m wholly satisfied.
All of the CW shows I do watch I watch via Netflix so I’m never current with any of their programming but it does allow me to gauge how invested I’m into a show if I become aware of when a CW season will end, because I know via their deal it will be up on the streaming service quickly.

I wish I could waste your time beginning this by diving into deeper meanings and thematic weight present in The Dragon Prince but the first thing that comes to mind is just an honest this thing is awesome.
What makes it fun is that it emanates a sheen of effortlessness that only comes with the exact opposite, being painstakingly well thought out and executed. A bunch of people gave a shit.
Continue reading “Netflix’s The Dragon Prince – Sunforged is my 2018 Style”
This is a bit of a delayed reaction but I think perhaps even better for it because two full months after Netflix released To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before my crush for it is confirmed as full blown love.
I’m not really into reviews, it’s a trade I was at one time in (if you see my blurb in a favorite genre novel of yours published circa 2006-2012, I apologize) but I do want to highlight some aspects of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before that really stood out to me and had me looking both back and forward with unmitigated joy.

Deadpool is a criminally deranged, psychopathic ninja mercenary with a mutant healing factor, a withering sarcastic wit, an encyclopedic array of pop culture references, and unfettered access to katanas, hand grenades and automatic weapons, which he uses to kill everyone ever. He’s like Snake Eyes, Wolverine, and David Spade’s Hollywood Minute mashed into the body of an Olympic athlete, then combined with the impulse control of Charlie Manson – and the end result is that he’s so fucking awesome at pummeling people into meat juice that he somehow manages to be an effective assassin even though he sneaks around heavily-fortified military facilities in a fire-engine red jumpsuit.

I’m going to guess I’m not the only person my age who did an unusual thing for them and sat around waiting for a live watching of an episode of a cartoon. I did so in the name of Thrawn.

This is another question that popped up as a search term to get to the site. I’m going to be picking some of these out and answering them to the best of my ability, the first time I did this, skipping the at the very least weird, and at worst, criminal search terms that somehow lead people here. Yes, some of the actions in Game of Thrones are actually PG in comparison to some of them, and some of the not so cleaner recent ones are about Natalie Portman’s character in Leon: The Professional, that I think got an uptick because it was recently made available on netflix. Enough preamble though, today I field:

If you watched last Sunday’s episode of HBO’s Game of Thrones you know that the realm lost a good one in Barristan the Bold. For such a knight of accomplishment to die outside of Westeros may not seem right, but one would think he did so at the service of a ruler he respected, and that’s all he ever wanted.
I thought it would be appropriate to look back at the life of a character that for TV watchers was a few years old, but for book readers we’ve been reading Selmy for almost TWENTY years. If you want, you can go check out my review of The Sons of the Harpy where Barristan, along with Greyworm, kicked a lot of ass. I think what tv watchers of Game of Thrones should know is that this hasn’t happened in the books, so this was not only an end to a major character, it was a shocking one to book readers.

I’m half Japanese. I’m an american. I’ve lived in Japan for a lot of my earlier childhood and 1/4 of my life. I have land there. I knew ramen was life since the ’80s, and not cheap college student menu before U.S. hipsters of the past several years did. I even rocked a bento strong in elementary school, some of which were Macross branded.
I was introduced to Macross through Robotech though, as I suspect most people in the U.S. were, but in my years in Japan, I’ve never come across anyone (the count is officially zero) who seem to care more about how Robotech came into being as I have in english speaking message boards in the 21st century.

A TALK WITH ALBERT MOYA
Albert Moya is the filmmaker behind Everything begins with an interruption, the short film we presented during Cersaie 2015 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the company. We met him on set and asked him about this new experience with ceramics, new projects and his dreams.
Everything begins with an interruption is not just a quote, but the title of the short film you directed to celebrate the 10 Years Anniversary of Mutina. How do you feel about it?
I liked the idea to use such an important statement for the brand to work on the concept of the film; even if in the result it’s not that clear, it worked to build the narrative and start having ideas to make the film.
Let’s start from the beginning. You asked to visit the company and meet the people behind it before thinking about a subject for the film. In which way they influenced your point of view?
The first visit to meet the Mutina family in person was crucial to think about the way the film should have been portrayed. It’s where I became conscious that people – the team is as important as the product they make – and the relationship there is between all of them, their philosophy of work, that is something you can not perceive if you are not there. There is a lot of humor going on and most important they deal with all the hard work in a real effortless way. Work feels always very aspirational there.
Was it your first time with ceramics? How much did you know about this material and how much you have carried with you, now that you know Mutina?
It was quite special as my mum is a ceramist. Even if she makes another type of product, at the end it’s still ceramics. So I grow up near clays and huge ovens and all the discipline that the ceramics’ world requires. I was really excited to work with Mutina for that reasons, it made sense to collaborate with something related to ceramics at some point. I’ve been lucky I was asked to work with such a singular and special company like Mutina.
To me it’s not that much about the material, it’s more about the bridge they built between ceramics and art. Now that I know Mutina this is what I keep with me: if you have a dream, if you really want to do something, something that is passionate and true, you can do it.
It sounds like a cliché, but when you see the result, you can just say “Bravo!”.
As it’s mentioned in the film, being at Mutina is like being part of a real family. Which was your impression about it?
Well, literally like that. While we were shooting, all the team at Mutina was helping and working closely with us, as if we were just one crew. They welcomed us like if we knew each other forever and everything felt very natural and organic and funny and intimate. When the base of a (work) relationship is like that things can just go well.
Why did you choose black & white for the film?
The HQ’s building has a lot of personality and we knew that was going to influence the whole aesthetic of the film – that elegant yet industrial feeling of early 70’s. The only way I was imagining that coexisting with the rest of the elements of the film was in black and white.
And why the story of the package?
It was just an excuse to drive us around the HQ and warehouse in a more dynamic way that didn’t feel a documentary nor a didactic film.
About your personal work, what are your plans for the future? Are you thinking about some interesting project to come?
Yes! I’ve been working on a personal project for 4 years already and it seems it is going happen soon. It’s an art film I’m working on in collaboration with the Mies Van der Rohe foundation, to be shoot at the Barcelona pavilion the next winter.
When did you decide you were going to be a filmmaker?
I was in my 20s and it was the conclusion I arrived after working in different art disciplines. It was the way to put all of them together.
Do you have a dream?
Yes, many! To point one out, I would love to write a script with greek writer Efthymis Filippou, whose work fascinates me.


COMING THIS DECEMBER
Metzcor and The Kaleidoscope Project are thrilled to announce the World Premiere of "Alice in Wonderland," a fresh and captivating musical adaptation starring the exceptionally talented Metzcor students.
Friday, December 15th
hosted at Metzcor Headquarters
2859 Boudinot Avenue
Cincinnati, Ohio 45238
Erin Carr, a seasoned theatre practitioner and Debbie Hill, the driving force behind The Kaleidoscope Project, believe that "generous theatre" is a concept that can revolutionize the performing arts in our community. They encourage the audience to set aside preconceived notions about theatre and instead embrace the experience of "Alice in Wonderland" as a story that wants to be told in its own unique way. Carr's vision for this performance is to inspire a sense of wonder and discovery, inviting all attendees to explore the endless possibilities of storytelling.
Prepare to embark on a whimsical journey down the rabbit hole with Alice, the ever-curious protagonist, in this reimagined and melodious version of the timeless classic. "Alice in Wonderland" promises to transport audiences to a fantastical realm brimming with zany adventures, where nothing is quite as it appears. This musical extravaganza is designed to be a delight for the whole family.Intriguingly, this rendition of "Alice in Wonderland" carries a profound message that resonates with all ages. Wonderland, as depicted in this production, is a place where diversity is celebrated, and individuality is cherished. The choice of this particular adaptation as The Kaleidoscope Project's inaugural show signifies a commitment to promoting the values of unity, diversity, and the appreciation of the unique qualities that define us as individuals.


Everybody knows that movies — whether based on fact or fiction — are rarely pure reality. All Hollywood films, to differing degrees, expect you to suspend your disbelief in order to make them enjoyable. The theater is a land of fantasy; if every movie was just everyday stuff, where would be the fun in that? We expect a little embellishment in film. After all, it’s fun to escape our boring lives for two hours now and then.
But every once in a while a film comes along that is so unbelievable that the typical viewer may find it hard to immerse themselves in the plot. That’s where the “based on a true story” line comes in. If the plot of a particular film seems too crazy to be realistic, why not say “Hey! We know this is going to sound like total bullshit….but it’s not! Honest!” A surprising amount of viewers believe that films like The Exorcist (sequels notwithstanding) or The Mothman Prophcies are true stories. Most others would believe that they are loosely based on actual events, or at least inspired by someone’s perception of events that may or may not have happened. (I found an interesting list of other “based on a true story” films here.)
Today, however, we have the good ol’ internets, and nearly limitless information is just a click away. People don’t just call “bullshit” anymore…they pull out their smartphone and Google it. The film industry, smart as it is, has adapted to this trend. In order to help viewers become more engaged, “based on a true story” movie makers have begun to set up faux-science websites which direct curious Googlers into fantasy land.
One recent example of this is the upcoming movie entitled 2012, based on the (completely false) Nibiru/Mayan Doomsday myth. In order to hype this month’s theatrical release, the makers have created a scientific-looking “Institute for Human Continuity” website that is supposed to be all about saving our species from the apocalypse. However, this website states at various places that it is “part of the 2012 movie experience” and a look around suggests that it is actually a front for some sort of contest. Although it is dressed up to get the viewer’s imagination going, I suspect that most adults would be able to tell that it is not an actual organization but rather a website promoting the film.
The film that really takes the cake, though, is The Fourth Kind, a film about alleged alien abductions in Nome, Alaska. It bills itself as being “based on actual case studies”. The cases were 24 people who disappeared from the Nome area during a span of roughly 40 years. The film features “archival footage” of a Dr. Abigail Tyler, who allegedly used hypnosis to uncover evidence of alien abductions. Searches for Abigail Tyler turned up a Nome Nugget article (the Nome Nugget is the city’s local newspaper), credited to editor Nancy McGuire, about Tyler’s arrival to the town, as well as an article allegedly penned by Tyler in the Alaska Psychiatry Journal. It would seem, at first glance anyway, that there might be some truth to this story.
The State Licensing Board has never heard of Abigail Tyler. No one in Nome has ever heard of Abigail Tyler. Ms. McGuire — real editor of the real Nome Nugget newspaper — says that she has never heard of Abigail Tyler, and certainly never wrote the article that someone credited to her. Nobody in Alaska’s psychiatric circles has ever heard of a publication called the Alaska Psychiatric Journal. The two websites in question, with the news article and journal article, have now seemingly been abducted by aliens themselves, but when they were functioning were surprisingly vacant: nothing else on the domain except the page linked to Google. No home page, no nothing. It’s all a big fraud.
It would appear that the only real thing about this film is that 24 Nome-area residents did go missing during that time period. The FBI investigated and determined that alcohol abuse and harsh winter weather were to blame. A few people suspected a serial killer. Nobody suspected encounters with extraterrestrials. Whatever the cause, many of the family, friends and neighbors of these real people have taken offense that Hollywood would hijack their deaths and distort their stories to push a flick.
I take offense to the fact that the studios have engaged in a deliberate attempt to deceive people. Obviously I don’t believe that most “based on a true story” films approach anything resembling an accurate portrayal of the facts. But I do believe that most of them are loosely based on actual events, or at least on events that someone had perceived to have happened before the film was created. For example, the Exorcist is supposedly based on a real exorcism. I don’t believe that a little girl was possessed by Satan, which caused her head to swivel 360 degrees while she flew around the room spewing pea soup. However I do believe that, at the very least, the film is based on rumors that preceded it. In other words, while the events depicted in the film are almost certainly embellishments of the wildest degree, at least they are actually based on something.
The Fourth Kind is a measure worse, in my opinion, because instead of just perpetuating an already-existing myth, the creators have gone out of their way to make up their own tale after the fact. And, unlike 2012, there are no little reminders here and there that this is all part of the “movie experience”. The creators of The Fourth Kind actually want you to believe that there are legitimate scientists and doctors out there using hypnotherapy to uncover evidence of alien abduction, and that their film contains actual archival footage of this happening. To this end, they attempted to cook up evidence to confuse people who have enough sense to research their claims rather than accept them at face value.
That’s a low blow in my book. It’s one thing to throw a “based on a true story” line at the beginning of the film to trick some gullible people. If some moviegoers believe everything they see on a movie, it’s their own fault for not practicing any critical thinking skills. But The Fourth Kind goes beyond all that. It’s not really based on anything, not even the wildest urban legend. Despite this — or rather because of it — the studios have completely fabricated evidence to trick viewers who want more info.
As a fan of movies, I don’t appreciate being lied to. And I don’t think the families of the 24 missing Nome residents appreciate their loved ones’ demise being hijacked to make a buck.

Last Saturday, Jenna and I went to the W.C. with Josh and Lauren to check out their new movie theater. The Cobb Theater Cinebistro was extremely nice. We will most likely only go to this theater from now on. When you walk in and go up the stairs you're greeted by a hostess just like any restaurant and seated. We ordered our drinks and meals and they take down your movie time so they can try and get everything in before it starts. The food was one of those things where you're like "this is good, but I think they're overcharging me." We didn't order any alcohol but from what I heard the price was jacked way up. We then went into the theatre with our tickets that have assigned seats on them. We were in the upper balcony which is 21 and up because they will serve you alcohol and dinner in the actual theater 30 minutes before the show. You can also go and get alcohol during the movie if you want. The seats were incredible. They're huge leather seats that you could almost fit two people in one. They also have an arm-rest inbetween them that goes up (Jenna and I couldn't get ours to budge) that will basically turn your two seats into a small sofa. On the outside of the pairs of seats are small swivel tables similar to a school desk so that you can put your food and drinks on. I was so impressed with the theater itself, it was hard to enjoy the movie as a movie. We saw Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist which was great. It was comparable to one of Michael Cera's other films Juno. Hilarious dry humor, but a great story to go along with it. If you get a chance, I highly recommend the Cinebistro experience and I will definitely drive the extra 15 miles to avoid the nightmares of the Brandon theater parking lot.


Our second Winterfest movie, Hallmark’s “Love in Winterland,” aired this past weekend. Starring THREE Hallmark actors in Italia Ricci, Chad Michael Murray and Jack Turner, this movie was filmed in and around Vancouver, Canada, as well as Big White Ski Resort which is about 5-6 hours due east of Vancouver. It was directed by Pat Williams, who also directed Chad Michael Murray’s last movie, “Write Before Christmas,” and written by the Dobrofskys, who are prolific Hallmark screenwriters going back at least as far as 2013 when Neal wrote “Window Wonderland,” one of my favorite Hallmark movies of all time (albeit not ranked at the moment because Hallmark didn’t air it on their regular channels this year!!!) and 2015’s “Love on the Air.”
In a nutshell
Despite having the Dobrofskys as the screenwriters, Williams at the helm, and a solid trio of actors, this movie was a letdown, which made me sad. I had high hopes for it since it fought so hard to make it on the air.
Plot (from Hallmark Channel website)
Ally (Italia Ricci), a final contestant on a dating show, must face her high school sweetheart Brett (Chad Michael Murray) when she is chosen by Tanner (Jack Turner) for the show’s week-long Hometown Date.
There were some things I definitely appreciated about how this show tackled the whole reality tv plot compared to other Hallmark attempts, but it still left us with plenty of questions that shouldn’t be ignored. I did appreciate when Ally asks the show’s producer about the other women and “why do they cry after only three dates?” because while I am not a member of Bachelor Nation, I am aware that many of these women begin crying over the Bachelor after only spending a couple hours in total time with him, which is absurd.
First, let me say that I like all three actors. I’m glad Jack Turner finally got to use his own accent in a movie. I think Italia Ricci is funny and cute (and considering she was only 2-months post-baby in this movie, a real trooper, too). I know people love Chad Michael Murray because of “One Tree Hill,” and I think he can be good with the right material (see: 2018’s “Road to Christmas”), but I had issues with his character in this movie. CMM was fine, but his character was not.
Six Degrees of Kris Polaha: Chad Michael Murray is only two steps away from Polaha. He was in a movie called “Fruitvale Station” in 2013 which also featured Kevin Durand. In the same year Durand took a turn in “Devil’s Knot” with Polaha.
All three actors did well together, for the most part, although I do wish Ricci and Turner had more scenes together because I think I saw signs of a future movie with those two being pretty sparky. With his British reserve and her engaging spunkiness, that would make a really fun movie to watch. Get on that, Hallmark!
I think had Murray played his role differently I would have seen chemistry with Ricci, but the fact Ally had to scold Brett like a babysitter attempting to corral her recalcitrant ward made many of their scenes off-putting. However, I did like the scenes when Brett was helping Tanner despite his overwhelming jealousy.
There were a few tropes in this movie. The movie opened with a scenic shot of the big city. The movie featured the ex-boyfriend plotline, obviously. They drank some hot cocoa, and there was a snowball fight. There was the aggravating “he saw something happening and completely misunderstood what it was and walked away” moment that is popular in these movies. There were probably others, but those were the only ones I wrote down.
Did I Hear/See That Right?
First a minor nitpick. When she arrives back at home, Brett attempts to help her with her suitcase and it results in the suitcase flying open and her stuff spilling out. Two things: what kind of crappy suitcase is that? NO SUITCASE IN OUR MODERN WORLD would just randomly pop open like that. And why was one half of the suitcase completely empty? She’s coming home for a week. In winter. She had maybe three days worth of summer clothes and NO toiletries that I could see. Impossible. I’m not a girly girl and even I would have a full-to-the-brim suitcase if I went home to visit my parents for a week.
Okay, it’s time to talk about Brett. Former high school boyfriend Brett. Brett who seems to have not matured SINCE being a high school boyfriend. The tone of this character confused me. He didn’t come off as a guy pining for his former girlfriend so much as a guy who resented (and acted out because) she moved on even though he didn’t. I have to believe that the writers intended for Brett’s personality to come off as funny, but it only came off as infantile. And while he did show a few small token signs of being an adult towards the end of the movie, it was not enough to redeem his petty behavior for the first 3/4ths of the movie.
More than a few things bothered me about the reality tv show itself, while I appreciated other things. I appreciated that the hometown “date” was actually for an entire week. Actual reality shows should TOTALLY do that so that these couples can actually REALLY get to know each other and the families before deciding whether or not to pursue a permanent relationship. That was good. What was bad? One cameraman. ONE. And yes, the movie early on talked about cameras being installed in the house, but we never saw those camera angles again in the entire movie, but we sure did see plenty of shots of the lone cameraman standing next to the producer whispering in his ear.
For a movie that was about filming a weeklong hometown date, we sure didn’t see Ally and Tanner spending much time together other than a few meals, some skiing (without the aforementioned cameraman) and making s’mores by the campfire. Of course those two decided not to pursue a relationship. They clearly spent just as little time together in that week than they did while filming the rest of the show.
I had one feelgood moment in this movie, and the surprise was that it came from Brett. And while I don’t think Brett earned the response he got from Ally, I still appreciated the moment from a standalone scene perspective.
Brett admitted that he followed Ally to college and saw she had met so many new people that he didn’t want to interfere with her pursuit of her dream, so he left without telling her he had come. Ally responds to this by saying, “You broke my heart.” After a pause, Brett counters with, “I broke my heart too.” Again, based on his previous behavior toward both her AND Tanner, I didn’t necessarily feel that Ally should have become flustered/undone by that, because I didn’t think that ANY of his behavior leading up to this point would make her realize she might still had feelings for him. Brett did NOTHING to earn that. But I still thought that the dialogue was nice – even though I wish it was in a different movie.
No, I do not plan on watching this one again.
“Love in Winterland” scored significantly lower than Winter in Vail. Based on last year’s overall results, I suspect this movie will end up in the lower third for the year when all is said and done.
- Winter in Vail (air date: Jan 4) – 623 pts – weighted score: 108.8 (76.4%)
- Love in Winterland (air date: Jan 11) – 508 pts – weighted score: 90.7 (63.6%)

What is The Reader Movie About?
The Reader is a movie that tells the story of a young man who has an affair with an older woman who later turns out to be a former Nazi guard. The movie is based on a novel by Bernhard Schlink and was released in 2008. It stars Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes as the main characters, Hanna Schmitz and Michael Berg.
The movie begins in 1958, when Michael, a 15-year-old boy, falls ill with scarlet fever and is helped by Hanna, a 36-year-old tram conductor. After he recovers, he visits her to thank her and they start a sexual relationship. Hanna asks Michael to read to her from his school books, which include classic novels and poetry. Michael becomes fascinated by Hanna and her mysterious past.
One day, Hanna disappears without a trace, leaving Michael heartbroken and confused. Eight years later, he is a law student who attends a trial of several former SS guards accused of letting 300 Jewish women and children die in a burning church during the death march near Kraków, Poland. To his shock, he recognizes Hanna as one of the defendants. He also realizes that she has a secret that she is hiding from the court, a secret that could help her case but also expose her vulnerability.
Michael struggles with his feelings for Hanna and his sense of justice. He decides not to reveal what he knows about her, but he also cannot forget her. He starts sending her tapes of him reading books in prison, hoping to ease her loneliness and educate her. Years later, he visits her before her release and learns the truth about her life and choices.
Why is The Reader Movie Controversial?
The Reader movie has been controversial for several reasons. Some critics have argued that the movie is too sympathetic to Hanna and tries to justify her crimes by portraying her as a victim of illiteracy and ignorance. They have also accused the movie of being a form of Holocaust revisionism that downplays the responsibility and guilt of the perpetrators.
Others have criticized the movie for its depiction of the sexual relationship between Michael and Hanna. They have claimed that the movie glamorizes pedophilia and abuse by showing it as a romantic and erotic affair. They have also questioned the moral implications of Michael's silence and complicity in Hanna's trial.
However, some defenders of the movie have argued that the movie is not meant to excuse or condone Hanna's actions, but rather to explore the complexity and ambiguity of human nature. They have also suggested that the movie is not about the Holocaust per se, but about the impact of history and memory on personal and collective identity. They have praised the movie for its powerful performances, especially by Winslet, who won an Oscar for her role.
How to Watch The Reader Movie in Tamil?

Here are some examples of the reviews of The Reader movie:
Roger Ebert gave the movie 3 out of 4 stars and wrote: \"The crucial decision in \"The Reader\" is made by a 24-year-old youth, who has information that might help a woman about to be sentenced to life in prison, but withholds it. He is ashamed to reveal his affair with this woman. By making this decision, he shifts the film's focus from the subject of German guilt about the Holocaust and turns it on the human race in general.\"
Philip French from The Guardian gave the movie 4 out of 5 stars and wrote: \"The Reader is an exemplary piece of filmmaking, superbly acted by Kate Winslet, David Kross and Ralph Fiennes, beautifully lit by two of Britain's finest cinematographers (Roger Deakins and Chris Menges) and sensitively directed by Stephen Daldry from a screenplay by David Hare.\"

7/7 Ripple Effect is a 57-minute homemade film produced and narrated under the anonymous pseudonym "Muad'Dib ", later named by the BBC as conspiracy theorist John Hill. The film disputes the official account of the 7 July 2005 London bombings.
The film was first released on the Internet on 5 November 2007, two years after the attacks. Physical copies were also sent to many of the people connected with the attacks. The film poses numerous questions about the events surrounding the attacks, and alleges alternative theories for who was behind them. The film implicates the Metropolitan Police and Tony Blair, and claims that the true perpetrators of the attacks were MI5 and/or Mossad, who tricked the four men into travelling to London with rucksacks, in order to provide CCTV footage later to be used as evidence in the investigation of the attacks. It alleges that the four bombers were actually murdered in Canary Wharf, and did not die as suicide bombers in the explosions on the three tube trains[which?] and one bus where the attacks took place.
An episode of the BBC programme The Conspiracy Files titled "7/7", which first aired on 20 June 2009, debunked many of the claims made in the film as well as other theories surrounding the attacks. The programme also revealed Muad'Dib to be John Hill from Sheffield, tracking him down to an address in Kells in the Republic of Ireland. The Conspiracy Files also questioned Hill's credibility for claiming on his website to be the Messiah , and that George Lucas was told the script of Star Wars telepathically by The Force. It also noted that Hill's chosen pseudonym Muad'Dib is the name of the fictional messiah in Frank Herbert 's 1965 science fiction novel Dune .
Hill was later arrested and was facing extradition to the United Kingdom on a charge of perverting the course of justice for sending DVDs of the film to the judge and jury foreman in a trial linked to the attacks.


I can’t get over the fact that next Monday is Christmas (and my birthday!!). I hope all of you are enjoying the holiday season and have plans to eat tons of delicious food with family and friends this weekend. Let me know in the comments what you are up to!
When I was in fourth grade I wore a silver puffer jacket just like this one to nearly ever holiday gathering. So when I saw a similar version at H&M for less than $60, I had to get it. If for any other reason, just so I can replicate that same look as when I was young.
I paired the look with a cute popcorn and movie theater tee shirt also from H&M. I am not a huge graphic Tee shirt kinda girl, but this one spoke to me. I lovvvee movie popcorn, and I also thought the faux pearls for kernels were a cute touch.
Speaking of movies… Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to work on set of The Greatest Showman! The musical about the Barnum & Bailey staring Hugh Jackman, Michelle Williams, Zac Efron, and Zendaya. I kid you not, I had the songs stuck in my head for about two months. I am so excited the movie is now out and I can play the soundtrack on repeat! If you are heading to see the film, you might see a glimpse of me during the “This Is Me” song, as well as the last few scenes of the movie. If you see me, let me know on Instagram!


It’s the iconic piano where Ingrid Berman famously said, “Play it, Sam” — and it has just sold at auction for a whopping $3.4 million.
Beautifully adorned with green, black and gold patterns, the piano is one of two that appears in the classic Bogart film, Casablanca.
Catherine Williamson, the director of entertainment memorabilia at Bonhams, the auction house that sold the piano along with other Hollywood memorabilia, said the piano is significant because of its central role in the lengedary film.
“If there are rules to collecting memorabilia,” she told the New York Times, “some of the rules include considering how important the film is, how central a prop is to the narrative of the film, how many copies of that prop there are and how much screen time does it have. This film is really important — the characters are so good, the story is so relevant, the tension is so strong that even if you don’t know much about the beginnings of World War II, you can watch this movie and get it — this prop is central to the plot and it also has an awful lot of screen time.”
The piano is especially important, she said, because of the letters of transit that Humphrey Bogart tucks into the piano in the film.
“They’re under there while Sam plays; they’re there for all of the activity that happens in the cafe,” she said. “The piano is there. It represents the way out for them. That’s what made it so important.”
Those letters of transit also sold this week ($118,750), along with the Cowardly Lion costume from the Wizard of Oz ($3 million), posters, dresses and a boombox from Spike Lee’s Do The Right Thing and more.
The other Casablanca piano, which only appears in the famed film’s Paris flashback scene, sold at auction in 2012 for $602,500.

What if Jack the Ripper was a woman?
During Jack the Ripper's siege on Whitechapel, London in the summer of 1888, Inspector Fredderick Abberline wondered whether the killer might be a woman. He later dismissed the idea, but history has refused to let the theory die.
Could the most heinous killer of the time be a midwife, angered by client betrayal, seeking her revenge on prostitutes for being imprisoned as an abortionist? Or a vengeful wife, shamed by her husband's infidelity, exacting an evil plan culminating in the brutal slaying of her husband's pregnant mistress?
And more recently, inconclusive DNA results from one of the famous Ripper letters points to the possibility of the Ripper being female.
This gripping true crime short examines one of history's most elusive criminals and dissects the question, “Could Jack really have been a Jane?”
