The Auteurs - New Wave (1993)

New Wave faz 40 anos este ano. É uma idade bonita, que assenta bem num disco charmoso. Foi o primeiro de quatro álbuns dos The Auteurs. Se não os conhece, give them a go!

Foi uma estreia, como tantas outras. Foi uma banda, como tantas mais. Nunca tiveram o sucesso que mereciam, por isso faz todo o sentido recordar os The Auteurs e o seu New Wave inicial. Como tantas e tantas bandas ao longo dos tempos, os The Auteurs tiveram uma vida curta e sem grande proveito em termos de estrelato. No entanto, os quinze minutos de fama não lhes faltaram, mas foi quase e apenas…

200 of my favorite albums that I swear by, from any genre - limited to one per artist. I always wanted to do this since the start of the decade and finally got around to it.

Shout-outs to my submissions that didn't make it:

Rose Red/Briar Rose/The Rose Reds/The Queen of Hearts (The Mechanisms): Rose Red was “the finest warrior of King Cole’s army,” so Cole, “desperate for a force that could never be stopped, never be defeated, never be halted as it marched from planet to planet, had Rose seized on her wedding day, to become the genetic base of this unholy horde.” Rose’s eponymous song includes lyrics like “she has fought and she has bled / Waging war on a hundred worlds, on a thousand battlegrounds / Open fire, open fire, turn your home to a funeral pyre, All she knows is pain and death and a moss-covered stone” and “Always marching on to fight to another bitter end / Open fire, open fire, the flames of war can still burn higher”. Briar Rose, the first clone of her, still had Rose’s memories, so she murdered an entire moon’s population (“battle, beauty, both had I won”) and was subsequently turned into the heart of a defense system, fueling and focusing the gun turrets with her rage, hatred, and FEAR. The subsequent clones, known as Rose Reds or “Rosies,” were a monstrously effective conquering force that waged brutal and deadly war for decades against rebel forces: “a single rose red was a match for thirty at least.” They are just as defined by war as their source: they have numbers instead of names, it’s unusual for them to survive long enough to show signs of natural aging, and they think of torching a village as a throwaway line in a funny story. The Queen of Hearts (described as wearing a uniform “stained black with old blood”), is a Rose Red waging endless, pointless war against rebel forces decades after the war ends, refusing to give up the fight despite it being entirely pointless with the fall of Cole’s empire. She puts Rose Red skin on robots, decapitates her troops for desertion, and declares “Until my last bullet / My troops will be strong”; it’s implied that she might have forced Alice into becoming her recruiter, broadcasting a message to the stars saying “Send lots more soldiers. I need them. I need them for the war.” Finally, The Toy Soldier fought alongside the Rose Reds (they thought it was a human with Rosie enhancements), and TS is one of the more Slaughtery mechs.

The Toy Soldier (The Mechanisms): Literally called the Toy Soldier. Has a song describing war as a children’s game generals play with soldiers as toys. Blindly obeyed orders from both sides of the Moon War, gladly slaughtering its former comrades without any compunctions. Joined the Rose Reds, a conquering army of super soldier clones made from another arguable Slaughter avatar. Embodies/deconstructs the military culture of Britain and the uncanny dehumanization of war—it is a polite English “gentleman,” and also a ruthless murderer who senselessly obeys anyone commanding it like a machine and correctly recognizes that all soldiers are really toys in the game of war. Also, it’s very musical.

General Radahn (Elden Ring): craved war, and, wanting to emulate his idol Godfrey (known as Lord of the Battlefield, waged wars of conquest against the Giants+Dragons+Storm King, had to have his bloodthirsty rage sealed away to be an effective ruler), grew obsessed with battle at a very young age; his challenging of the Starspawn might be emulating Godfrey’s war against the Fire Giants. His Red Lion Army was one of the most hardened and skilled among the Lordsworn, and they won him victory after victory through his leadership during the Shattering. As the Red Lion General and "the Shattering's strongest Demigod", Radahn was famed and feared throughout the land as an apex warrior, magician, and tactician as a General; his leadership and charisma were such that even after the disastrous Battle of Aeonia, his Redmanes are still organized and disciplined enough to simultaneously contain the spread of Scarlet Rot to Caelid in a brutal Forever War. The mightiest warrior in his army, who even went toe-to-toe with fucking Malenia. Even after centuries of enduring untreated injuries from his battle with Malenia and her Cleanrot Knights, the Scarlet Rot ravaging his body and mind, wandering a desert with nothing but corpses for sustenance, and repeated attempts from warriors across the land, it’s still expected for the player character to work with a small army of some of the greatest fighters still alive to finally kill him.

Jagganoth (Kill Six Billion Demons): his village was murdered by soldiers, who forcefully recruited him, made him “dead,” by beating everything out of his life but war, and molded him into a perfect soldier. He regards violence with a certain degree of reverence and believes a ruler must singularly dedicate themselves to combat and war. As one of the survivors of the Multiversal War between the Demiurges, he became the conquerer of 111,111 worlds. He is on a holy mission to annihilate the universe in an omnicidal war, which as of the latest pages his followers are waging in his absence (as detailed in the War For Rayuba contest). He hoards and improves weapons and modern technology with the aim of improving them for warfare. While he desires to escape the cycle of endless warfare, he is ultimately extremely complicit in spreading Slaughter across the multiverse.

Jonny D’ville (The Mechanisms): “If you were a hedonistic sadist with a six-gun, immortality and a sense of humour, what would you do? In this case, the correct answer is 'shoot the nosy archivist right in her card index'." Self-described as happy murdering women, men, everything between, and children (the annoying ones). Killed a man's family, turning him into a brutal vigilante who apparently made a habit of beating Jonny to a pulp. During Ulysses Dies At Dawn, was apparently "depopulating" the lower levels. Joined the 42nd Starborne Division during the war against the Moon Kaiser, apparently for the heck of it, and apparently participated in Tim's rampage across the moon; generally thinks of the horrors of the Moon War as a fun time, judging by the tone of Gunpowder Tim vs the Moon Kaiser. Watched the civil war in Once Upon A Time In Space with the other mechanisms going on for thirty bloody years "For when you're immortal, a good war is a very pleasant distraction, indeed," but is persuaded to interfere partially because "it has been a while since we've had any really... good violence." This results in his rampage in "Sleeping Beauty": "Gotta say I’m in the mood for violence, and I reckon you might be too / Let’s get this party started the only way we know / Gunfire and explosions, that’s our cue" and "Fire ‘til your guns are empty, ‘til your ammunition runs dry / If you’re finished playing at soldiers, you might have noticed we cannot die / I suggest you beat a fucking tactical retreat / Or we’ll let slip the dogs of war and havoc cry". Describes the crew of his ship as "Having fun, violence, adventure, violence, violence." All of the Mechanisms are arguably Slaughter to some extent, but I would argue that not all of them are the BEST Slaughter Avatar (Ashes feels more Web, for instance, and Raphaella and Ivy are very Eye); the strongest candidates would be Tim and TS because of their military themes, and Jonny because of his various serial killer rampages plus participation in the Moon War.

Belkar Bitterleaf (Order of the Stick): Described by the wiki as a “sociopath that loves stabbing, inflicting grievous bodily harm to others, and gourmet cooking. His complete lack of morals and willingness to kill is most clearly illustrated when his internal conflict takes place between two devils (one representing his usual impulsiveness, the other thinking in terms of the bigger picture) on his shoulders (his constant murdering having driven the angel completely insane) […] Belkar is one of the group's most powerful fighters, consistently defeating opponents one-on-one or when outnumbered, to the point of proclaiming himself a ‘Sexy Shoeless God of War’”—and this happened while he was standing on a pile of soldiers he single-handedly slaughtered. Buries his feelings about how everyone dislikes him and he has no idea what he wants to do with his life in violence--“if I stab something in the face enough times, [my complex feelings] will go away!” Took at least one level in Barbarian.

Her Favourite Worst Nightmare

III - Fugato

In Anne’s experience, Reverend Ward never made a secret of his displeasure. Perhaps it was the key to controlling his Beast; to let his Wrath trickle out slowly rather than damming it until it swells into a drowning flood. I’ll never learn to be so bold, she lamented. The Reverend took another long look at the newcomer over his thick-rimmed glasses before she disappeared down the stairs.

“Astounding, the kind of trash that washes up on our shores,” he muttered, to nods of general agreement from his fellow Sanctified.

Anne found his assessment somewhat harsh – after all, he hadn’t seen what she had – but it made sense to her that a Ventrue of his years would have to be a good judge of character. Besides, deciding who among the Damned to trust was about survival, and survival was more important than tolerance. No doubt she feels the same way about us.

“So then,” murmured Abigail – the paper-thin blonde in arsenic green to Anne’s left. “What did Beaufort have to say?”

Without so much as excusing himself, Reverend Ward took Abigail’s arm, leading his childe away to have that conversation privately. The rest of their small group splintered off to mingle.

Anne watched them go, reminding herself of her place to alleviate the sting of being ditched. You should be used to this by now, silly girl. It was Kindred nature to keep everything close to one’s chest. She felt the urge to don the Cloak of Night and eavesdrop unseen, but there were Mekhet in the room; she couldn’t risk her misbehaviour being witnessed by someone who might hold it over her head.

Alice Redman, in particular, seemed to see too much lately. Anne peered over at the lingering cluster of Carthians in the corner to note that indeed, she was already being watched. She felt like an insect under a magnifying glass. How unfair that both our clans are gifted with Obfuscate, but only hers with Auspex. There were times that Anne had prayed to know what was going through someone’s mind. But then, there were many more times when her own imagination was more than enough.

Abandoning her place by the grandfather clock, Anne found a seat on a lonely couch that conveniently put a large floral vase between her and her observer, and scooped Johann out from the pocket of her argyle cardigan. The plump, white rat chirped lovingly in her hand. She rubbed his tiny chin with her thumb as she searched for his brother. At her insistent call, Sebastian poked his black, furry nose out of her patchwork leather handbag and sniffed. With a warm smile, she stuck out her palm, and he began to climb her sleeve.

At least with these two, she was never without company. Perhaps Animalism was a better gift than Auspex after all.

Sebastian, clinging to her shoulder with tiny claws, began to lick greedily at a spot of dried blood on her bandages. Anne swiftly redirected him, plopping him down onto the lap of her long grey skirt to play with Johann. More soon, I promise, she chittered, adjusting the gauze of her bandages against her cheek. They itched terribly, but without them, her best white blouse would be stained red and yellow by the purulent Vitae leaking from the many huge, open sores that warped her face. It was a cruel twist of the Nosferatu curse that magnified tenfold the insecurities she still carried from chronic acne in life. Laundry aside (which was already a losing battle for anyone who spent as much time underground), Anne wasn’t ready to face the disgust that her naked visage could elicit in the other Clans. Most of the time, it was better not to be noticed at all.

Isn’t that right, babies? She tickled Johann and Sebastian’s monochrome bellies to a chorus of approving squeaks. True, true! They told her. Hidden is safe!

It appeared, however, as though the wisdom of rodents was wasted on some. Desmond Kale, for example, burst through the door of Elysium and begun tracking wet footprints along the fine rugs and hardwood floor. Shedding blades of grass, he hastened over to Kostya and Carsten, who were quietly chatting by the cedar chiffonier.

Anne was wary of the Circle at the best of times. To the Lancea Sanctum, they were heathens; unrepentant sinners who corrupt and tempt mortal souls away from their salvation, subverting their God-given role instead of just denying it. There had been centuries of war between the two Covenants, and yet Desmond had never been anything but nice to her. Kostya Maksivinivich bore his monstrous cruelty as plainly as the skull that adorned his face, but as her Sire and Priscus, he’d always treated her fairly. For that, he had her respect.

Desmond began to speak excitedly to his fellow Acolyte. Carsten Sobels watched and listened, silent as always. The Ordo Dracul were heretics of a different sort, she'd been told – turning their blasphemy inward in an attempt to improve upon God's design – but Anne felt godliness in Carsten. Clanmate and confidant both, it was his unwavering kindness and generosity that gave her the strength to rise every sunset.

Perhaps this was one conversation where she wouldn't be unwelcome – but the time to find out had already passed.

Duke Penthièvre reappeared from the underground sitting room with Mr. Donovan's guest in tow. Once again, he clapped to draw the room's attention.

"Kindred of the Court," he called out with a glib smile. "As His Excellency’s Harpy, it is my great pleasure to announce that Prince Matthew Beaufort, Viscount of the White Shore, has declared Miss Judith Doulton Acknowledged within the City of Adelaide."

She's staying?

A throng of disquieted murmurs went up. What could someone like her possibly want in the City of Churches, Anne wondered. Over her shoulder, she saw Reverend Ward slip away through the door to the conservatory, fuming, with little mystery as to why. The Lancea Sanctum had done its utmost to maintain order in Adelaide since its founding, and Judith had troublemaker written all over her.

The duke returned to his business as Judith's Firebrand co-conspirators surrounded her to offer their congratulations. She seemed weary, but visibly relieved, punctuating her indistinct speech here and there with a flash of nervous smile. Anne recalled the sight of those stark white fangs – those plush red lips – assaulting the neck of the poor woman in The Rack who endured Judith's 'affections.' She must be a Daeva, she thought bitterly. Temptation is in their blood, and they only Embrace the beautiful.

As though he could smell her deviance, Desmond was drawn to Judith like a bee to honey, and Anne's Clanmates followed. Idly stroking her rats, she watched from afar as the group exchanged introductions and made small talk, occasionally interrupted by short rounds of laughter at the presumably witty repartee. She dreamed of how it would feel to have such a natural charisma; to make a room full of people laugh with her rather than at her.

Suddenly, Kostya gestured across the room at Anne. All seven Kindred turned to stare directly at her. She froze like a deer in headlights. Hidden is safe. She willed her vampiric blood to shroud her in the Cloak of Night, scrunching her eyes shut. When she opened them, they were still looking. Damn it, she cursed herself – how do I keep forgetting to break line of sight? – but her frustration was quickly overcome when, having spent her Vitae in vain, she felt the Hunger rise.

It started as a sickening wave in her chest that crawled up to the back of her throat, demanding more blood. Now. As she wrestled with her Beast, each pair of eyes dropped away, save one. Judith was still staring at her. Not the way one would stare at a cockroach, or a curiosity, but the way that boys at school used to stare when they thought their friends weren't paying attention. It had been a long time since she’d seen that look, but she couldn’t forget it if she tried.

Anne shied away from the Serpent's gaze. She tugged her cardigan closer to cover her ample bust, grateful that she couldn't blush. Her thirst gnawed urgently, demanding action, and distracting her from further unwanted thoughts.

With a resigned sigh, Anne herded Johann and Sebastian into her bag, brushed off her skirt, and rose from the couch to slip from the room. She had to leave Elysium to feed, and to ignore one’s Hunger was to invite disaster. On the off chance she was needed on urgent business, Carsten had her number.

It wasn’t bad timing, all told. She'd had more than her fill of Court for now.

[residentdormouse]

Hey, hi! You are on my BINGO card (like last year haha) and I was wondering if you could tell me literally whatever you can muster about Hayden and/or Stephanie (what they did before the world went to shit, their interests, hobbies, their personality, style, quotes, lyrics, colors relating to them, etc.)

Thank you so much and also eternally thankful to you for all the comments you left on Save a Prayer - I saw them and they made me really happy ❤

Hey there 👋 (and I'm still eternally grateful for last year; that gif makes me so rediculously happy.)

Most information on the 'Jumping to Wonderland' series can be found on this main post - questions/asks/playlists are towards the bottom. Granted, most of that is for Hayden (she has a full 101k story to herself before Steph and my others OCs really join in with Diving.) The best segments for her are: General History and Interview Questions.

But that's a lot of nonsense to dig through. More consise answers:

Hayden (Hadley) Flynn

Hadley worked for an organization that was constructed to help protect against supernatural elements. At first, her role was in experimental expeditions, and assisting in dimensional travel. When conflicting agendas were discovered within the, now redubbed, 'Institute', Hadley moved to a first line public safety position which better situated herself to help peaceful individuals. Shortly after, disturbances outside of their universe were picked up by her old department, and Hadley was tasked with investigating. Unfortunately, as they had found from prior missions, there was a barrier between their worlds and her knowledge was barred from her upon entry, along with most of her memories. With no recollection of her past, she could only stumble into this new world, picking up the name Hayden from one of her first companions - Stu Redman.

Hayden is naturally curious, and loves learning, but she is also a fan of the arts and relaxation. Especially relaxation. Good stories are essential. Comfy blankets, fluffy pillows, warms drinks, fires. As somebody with a higher anxiety level than others, she struggles to find a calm sometimes, and has been known to study breathing techniques and coping methods (some of a potentially questionable variety). Mediation also helps aid with setting up and maintaining an easily accessable mind library, which is a necessity for travelling. She is also an animal lover, which helps establish a light tone for her first interaction with Kojak, and in turn, Glen.

Teal is a color that is significant to her, and attached to a mental key of sorts. Her full playlist is here, although 'Smile' by Wolf Alice and 'Underworld' by Cyprss are go-tos for her. Style is more about comfort and practicality. Sweaters, jeans, sometimes a blazer for 'nicer' occasions. Layers and heavy coats are a must as she usually runs cold.

Stephanie Graham

Steph served as the 'tech guru' for her community. Working on the IT department of the hospital was primary, but she also set up her family and their friends. No, you can't just use the browser that comes with. That's your password?! Is that phone from this century? While she had her job, and was very close with her family, a good deal of her free time was spent in her apartment. A safe haven full of adopted house plants and stock piles of games. Video games, board games, multitudes of 20 sided dice. Her desk was a shrine to her fandoms and online activity. Does she have a Tumblr? Maybe, but she likes your shoelaces. Does she read fanfiction? C'mon that's not taboo anymore, right? It was a comfortable life. A manageable life. Until everybody started coughing...

Anxiety is also something that Steph suffers with, although that partly stems from her untreated ADHD. It is not uncommon to see her fixating, or obsessing over little things, and excitedly babbling on about something. There are many topics that she cannot be normal about, and expect her to really get 'in it'. Words coming out faster than they have any business being, and still not fast enough for her thoughts. This also happens when self consciousness kicks in too. Catch her appologizing for appologizing, and she appologize once more. For good measure.

Much like Hayden, Steph's color is in the green category. But while Hayden's is more of a jewel tone, Steph's is a reflection of her plants, and leans towards more of a forest shade. Her playlist is here, but her main song (and the original song I used when developing her) is 'Life is Short' by Bufferfly Boucher. Style is also a comfort concern for her. Flannels and t-shirts with jeans and chucks. Nothing fancy, she wouldn't know where to begin with any of that.

[artbookdap]

For Passover, may we recommend 'A House with a Date Palm Will Never Starve (Cooking with Date Syrup: Forty-One Chefs and an Artist Create New and Classic Dishes with a Traditional Middle Eastern Ingredient),' edited by Michael Rakowitz and published by @art_books_⁠ ⁠ Art and food meet social activism in Rakowitz’s inspiring cookbook, in which forty-one noted international chefs, restauranteurs and food writers contribute recipes featuring the traditional Middle Eastern ingredient that also plays a key role in Rakowitz’s artwork. “Food becomes very important in exile,” Claudia Roden writes. “Families hold on to their dishes for generations, long after they have cast off their traditional clothes, dropped their native language and stopped listening to their own forms of music. Michael’s family fled Iraq for the United States in 1947 as a result of riots and reprisals against Jews. He has used cooking as a way of celebrating the family’s origin and the harmony that once reigned between Jews and Muslims.”⁠ ⁠ Chefs include: Sara Ahmad, Sam and Sam Clark (Moro, Morito), Linda Dangoor, Caroline Eden, Cameron Emirali (10 Greek Street), Eleanor Ford, Jason Hammel (Lula Café, Marisol), Stephen Harris (The Sportsman), Anissa Helou, Margot Henderson (Rochelle Canteen), Olia Hercules, Charlie Hibbert (Thyme), Anna Jones, Philip Juma (JUMA Kitchen), Reem Kassis, Asma Khan (Darjeeling Express), Florence Knight, Jeremy Lee (Quo Vadis), Prue Leith, Giorgio Locatelli, Nuno Mendes (Chiltern Firehouse), Thomasina Miers (Wahaca), Nawal Nasrallah, Russell Norman (Polpo), Yotam Ottolenghi (Ottolenghi, NOPI), Sarit Packer and Itamar Srulovich (Honey & Co), Michael Rakowitz, Yvonne Rakowitz, Brett Redman (Neptune, Jidori, Elliot's Café), Claudia Roden, Nasrin Rooghani, Marcus Samuelsson (Red Rooster, Aquavit), Niki Segnit, Rosie Sykes, Summer Thomas, Kitty Travers, Alice Waters (Chez Panisse) and Soli Zardosht (Zardosht).⁠ ⁠ Read more via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ #michaelrakowitz #housewithadatepalmwillneverstarve #middleeasternrecipes #datepalm #datesyrup #cookbook #passoverrecipes https://www.instagram.com/p/CcYjcMaJys6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Review #21: Peter Pan

Post #24

6/18/2020

Next up is 1953′s Peter Pan

Enjoyment : [2]

Holy crap this is a hard movie to get through. The concept and setting are great, a fantasy world filtered through children’s bedtime stories? I am here for that. But honestly the characters really ruin this. Everyone without exception is selfish, self centered, racist and sexist. The characters only speak in snarky quips or weird bigoted statements. It is ok to write mean characters, but none of them do or say anything that shows further depth or growth. Tinkerbell is the only character who does anything redeemable and even then they muck up her heroic sacrifice with baffling editing. Other than a few funnt visual gags there is nothing enjoyable here.

Quality : [3]

The animation is average, albeit more than a little stiff. Only Tinkerbell and Tigerlilly are animated with any effort or personality and that appears to be purely fueled by the animators horniness. Captain Hook has some good animation and visual beats, but thats only because he gets to partake in easy-to-animate slapstick. The editing is down right awful. The scene were Tinkerbell sacrifices herself is the peak example of how bad the editing. Peter and Tink seems like they are about to have a moment of character growth, when it abruptly fades and moves on, with Tinkerbell perfectly fine in the very next scene. I think they had the ‘clap if you believe’ scene but cut it during production. The story structure is also garbage. I noticed this in Alice in Wonderland as well. Both movies are adaptations of children's books, and each movie seems to go chapter by chapter. This causes each scene to be really self contained and it doesn’t connect to the next at all. This is a really rough movie and all the corners show.

Hold up : [0]

Hey look the first zero on this list. This movie is easily the most offensive Disney movie I have seen so far. Song of the South is pretty awful, but the racism is non stop throughout Peter Pan. The characters just spew weird imperialist rhetoric about the ‘savages’ they are trying to colonize. Do I even need to bring up ‘What made the Redman Red?’ Yes. Yes I do. Holy crap this movie is garbage. How can this still get rereleased by Song of the South gets vaulted? I am kinda shocked. There is also a thick layer of sexism soaked into this movie. Every woman just fawns over Peter and he treats them all like trash. The only emotions any woman expresses is jealousy towards one another because they all want Peter and that’s their whole personality. Again, I don’t think I can find any dialogue not twinged with hatred or judgement. It is just non stop ugliness from start to finish and there is no good justification for it.

Risk : [4]

The only real points I can award is how dark and creative this movie gets. It isn’t much but the pirates openly talk about murder and actually do kill each other. I also liked that Tinkerbell was openly just a jerk from the start. Characters in Disney movies don’t have a lot of personalities so even negative personalities are fun to watch at this point. The storybook aesthetic could have been a lot of fun but it doesn’t really go far enough with it. I think Disney kept falling back on their comfort zones by animating slapstick instead of telling a good story. 

Extra Credit : [2]

Can’t really say much. I really liked the gag with Hook having different hooks for different occasions. Also a really creative shot is the X-ray of the bomb package. You can actually see that the bomb is a repurposed canon-ball and flintlock pistol fuse. The hands of the clock complete the circuit and set off the pistol, activating the canon-ball. It is very minor but I like the clear thought put into the actual functional design and how Hook would logically construct a timer bomb. I liked that they got into his head and what he would have on hand to construct a bomb.

Final thoughts:

Wow this movie sucks. I feel like Disney needs to apologize for making this. I feel like the characters were all set up for lessons that they never end up learning. Jerk characters need to learn their lessons and change by the end or we should at least be able to understand WHY they couldn’t change. The characters in Peter Pan just stay jerks, with the exception of Tinkerbell. I am actually glad Tinkerbell got her own spin offs she deserves better than Peter. This is hands down the worst movie I have seen so far on this list. I know for a fact there will be worse in the future but this one is just garbage.

Total Score: 11/50
