I think wrightworth is so much better when it's Miles who's the mess who burns water and Phoenix who's better at daily functional things like cooking, cleaning, etc.
Miles Edgeworth is a man who has a tea set delivered to his office by a local hotel. He does not know how to cook.

September 1986. Launched a month after the end of CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS, SECRET ORIGINS was ostensibly a way for DC to put its new house in order, continuity-wise, initially alternating Golden Age and modern origins and then (starting in this issue) combining one of each. Publishing the origin of the Golden Age Batman who had just been pointedly and retroactively erased in the Crisis was perhaps off-message, and while Roy Thomas does cross a few "t"s and dot a few "i"s, Batman's origin was in no way "secret." However, the first half of this issue is nonetheless a welcome if bittersweet farewell to the original Batman, with exquisite artwork by Marshall Rogers (who also colored it himself) and Terry Austin that establishes a vivid sense of time and place, adding to the story's autumnal atmosphere:

Consequently, this is one of Thomas's finest "Earth-2" stories, and a fitting bookend to Alan Brennert's "The Autobiography of Bruce Wayne" three years earlier. (It's reprinted in the LEGENDS OF THE DARK KNIGHT: MARSHALL ROGERS hardcover, although frustratingly, no attempt was made to adjust Rogers' carefully selected color palette to suit the whiter, glossier paper, making the colors far brighter and gaudier than Rogers intended.)
The Halo origin is less successful, illustrating what would become an ongoing problem for SECRET ORIGINS: trying to sum up a complicated storyline (which originally unfolded over the course of many issues of BATMAN AND THE OUTSIDERS) in a few pages, making it largely redundant for people familiar with the original story and yet unlikely to entice or even make much sense to readers who had never heard of the character.

Inspector Morley, Late of Scotland Yard, Investigates: The Case of the Scarlet Letters (1.3, WGN-TV, 1952)
"Mr. Mullins, I have in my possession sixty-eight letters, none of which has begun to outlive its usefulness. I'm quite prepared to admit that blackmail is risky, but then murder has its disadvantages too - that is why I gave up murder."
#inspector morley late of scotland yard investigates#inspector morley late of scotland yard#(there's some confusion about the correct title of this series; it appears onscreen with 'investigates' but many online sources omit the#final word and it wouldn't be unique in having a title screen that differed slightly from the official name of the show; either way it's a#hell of an unwieldy name for your programme.....)#classic tv#1952#john gilling#victor m. gover#tod slaughter#patrick barr#tucker mcguire#leonard sharp#another rediscovered gem made available by the good folks at kaleidoscope#oof. ok. so the story of Inspector Morley is complicated and still semi mysterious (the show is 70 years old after all‚ there's precious#little surviving documentation). as far as it goes‚ this was a UK production intended for sale to the BBC (there existing no independent tv#company in 1952). the beeb‚ for whatever reason‚ passed on the series. 13 episodes had been made and of these about seven were cobbled#together into feature films to recoup some of the costs; those survived and saw occasional outings on rainy afternoon tv schedules here#it was thought that the remainder were junked‚ but research (not my own i hasten to add) has revealed that the whole series was in fact sol#to the US where it was shown on WGN (a Chicago based station i believe). when kaleidoscope recovered this particular episode some 6 or 7#years ago‚ it was thought to be the sole surviving episode‚ at least in its original format (ie. not edited into a feature). actually it#sounds like they might all exist and a few are even on youtube (including this one). this is very early detective tv and it shows its age#not just in its ropey visuals (it's all quite soft and fuzzy) but in its very old fashioned shape and design‚ which is closer to mid#century film than what television would shortly become. that sensation is only furthered by the presence of the immortal Tod Slaughter‚ a#bastion of early british cinema and one of the first horror icons the uk ever produced. unusually‚ it seems like he starred in most (if not#all) of the episodes of the series; unusual bc he plays the villain‚ opposite Barr's staunch ex copper Morley. having a recurring villain#must certainly have helped when editing the shows into films for cinema release but it was quite a strange choice for tv#tho perhaps a set cast reduced costs (this was clearly a budget production‚ tho it does feature some impressive early location shooting)#Slaughter is great fun‚ in full scenery chewing mode as the wicked and unrepentant mastermind behind all sorts of crimes#Barr even has personal beef with him‚ though it would require seeing the other eps to fully understand it i suspect

"Viewed from the vantage of a warm house and civilized pursuits, forty wasn’t old. On a mountain in the snow every year gone by made itself felt. [The younger people surrounding Anna] still possessed reserves of energy. On principle, Anna cursed everyone under thirty."

[Fantasia 2024] In Sunburnt Unicorn, What is Alls Well Doesn't Bode Well for Those Scared of the Future
As @fantasiafest #fantasiafest #fantasia2024 comes to a close, I offer a look at what may be the best in #animation! #fantasy #moviereview of Sunburnt Unicorn at:
North American premiere at Fantasia Film Festival 2024 Spoiler Alert Frankie’s got a horn in Sunburnt Unicorn, and he doesn’t know how to use it. That’s because it may well be a car part embedded on his forehead after an accident has stranded him and his dad in a desert. As. for whether the fever dream that comes from being in the dry world for too long is real or not, I’m enjoying the concept!…
