Ken Wahl stars as Vinnie Terranova, a veteran FBI agent making a transition to deep cover operative in the (fictional) Organized Crime Bureau divitaion, in the undercover thriller Wiseguy (1987-1990). Created by Stephen J. Cannell and Stanley Lupo, it took a radically different approach to TV crime as it charted the long, slow process of Terranova infiltrating the mob. His first assignment is to…

Day 85- Film: The Importance of Being Earnest 

Release date: December 22nd, 1952. 

Studio: Javelin Films 

Genre: Comedy 

Director: Anthony Asquith 

Producer: Teddy Baird, Earl St. John 

Actors: Michael Redgrave, Michael Denison, Edith Evans, Joan Greenwood, Dorothy Tutin 

Plot Summary: An adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s 1895 play, this story is about two male friends, two amorous women who love the name Ernest, and an uppity old Aunt who must give her consent to one of the marriages. 

My Rating (out of five stars): **** 

I will admit with some shame that I had never seen any version of this work by Wilde before. I’m very glad I got to watch this, though- it was delightful and highly amusing. The two things that most stood out to me were Wilde’s witty and cheeky writing and the virtuoso performances of all the actors. There’s little to criticize here. 

The Good: 

The play itself. When I watch movies for the project, I usually jot down any interesting quotes as possibilities to use in my daily opening post. Five minutes into this movie, I had an entire page filled! That just gives you an example of the preponderance of sparkling witty dialogue. 

Every single performance in the film. Everyone was so good; it was an acting masterclass. They all looked the part as well, except for the fact that the two male leads were clearly older than their late 20s. 

Joan Greenwood as Gwendolen Fairfax. I want to highlight her performance especially. Other actors in this got more notice, I think, but she cracked me up more than anyone! Her tone and delivery were so odd and unexpected and hilarious. Any time she spoke, I smiled. 

Edith Evans as Lady Bracknell. She’s generally the one most people list as the standout, with good reason. Every line she spoke was a comedy gift. 

The costumes. They were colorful, elaborate, and beautiful. 

The Technicolor. I was really surprised when the film started and it wasn’t black and white, much less in Technicolor! Thank god it was, though, because it made the costumes so much more stunning and impressive. We also got to see Redgrave’s piercing blue eyes.  

The Bad: 

Like a lot of filmed versions of plays, the camerawork isn’t always the most exciting. It has that kind of “talky” static feel sometimes. But it isn’t severe, and it doesn’t detract from one’s enjoyment of the film.

"Full Eclipse" (1993) is a sci-fi horror film originally aired on HBO. Directed by Anthony Hickox and written by Richard Christian Matheson and Michael Reaves, this movie takes an interesting approach to using werewolves to fight crime. The lead cop in the film is Mario Van Peebles, who was very busy acting around this time. One thing about Mario is that he has a versatile resume. A solid cast, including Patsy Kensit, Bruce Payne, Tony Denison, Willie C. Carpenter, and Victoria Rowell, support him. Since this movie wasn't released theatrically, it has fallen under the radar. However, it is a noteworthy horror film with great action and deserves recognition.

Director: Anthony Hickox Writers: Richard Christian Matheson, Michael Reaves

Starring Mario Van Peebles, Patsy Kensit, Bruce Payne, Tony Denison, Willie C. Carpenter, Victoria Rowell, Jason Beghe, Paula Marshall, John Verea, Dean Norris, Scott Paulin, Mel Winkler

Storyline In Los Angeles, criminals are one step away from taking over the city. Drugs and guns are all over the streets. It'll take a special kind of cop to end it all. Max Dire (Mario Van Peebles) is a special kind of cop, so he's invited to join an elite squad - a secret police unit - authorized to do whatever it takes to end crime. Their leader, Adam Garou (Bruce Payne), has a unique method for dealing with crooks: a serum he injected into his gang of rogue cops that gives them extraordinary strength and speed. A drug that gives them the power of wolves and a deadly appetite for crime.

Max is suspicious of Garou's renegade police force but is soon seduced into joining them by their most beautiful member, Casey Spencer (Patsy Kensit). But, as Max soon discovers, there's a dark side to Garou's detective work, and he must decide if he will run with the pack or stand against them. Either way, the streets will run with blood by the full eclipse.

Meralco withstands NorthPort for thrilling 2 OT win

Baser Amer leads Bolts in overtime. PBA IMAGES MANILA, Philippines–Meralco outlasted NorthPort, 126-123, in a tightly-contested affair that needed two extra periods to settle Friday night in the 2019 PBA Philippine Cup at Araneta Coliseum. Baser Amer emptied 11 of his total 23 points in the two overtime sessions to preserve Chris Newsome’s heroics in the final moments of regulation. Newsome converted an alley-oop off the pass from John Pinto to send the game to the first OT. Pinto alley oop to Newsome… WE ARE GOING TO OVERTIME! #PBALabanKungLaban pic.twitter.com/R0sTqPU7pw — PBA (@pbaconnect) March 8, 2019 Stanley Pringle and Mo Tautuaa came through late in the extension to keep Meralco within striking range, but their efforts weren’t enough to put the Batang Pier on the driver’s seat. The spitfire guard paced the NorthPort with 33 points, while Tautuaa pumped in 21 more. The Batang Pier drew a brilliant performance from Sean Anthony, who posted a double-double of 31 markers and 16 boards. “That was a hard-fought game between two teams fighting for their lives and trying to stay in the playoffs—especially us,” Bolts coach Norman Black said. “I’m just thankful that the players never gave up. There were moments in the fourth that looked pretty dim but we’re able to execute some plays down the stretch, send the game to overtime and give ourselves a chance to win in double overtime,” he added. “I think there are a lot of heroes by our side tonight,” Black said. The Bolts halted a three-game slide and improved to 3-5 in the all-Filipino conference. “He hit some big shots to give us a chance win this game,” the Meralco mentor said of Amer. “This (victory) gives us a chance to stay alive and fight another day … The road is still going to be tough for us. But this is a start,” Black said, whose wards improved to 3-5 in the Philippine Cup. Meralco resumes its bid for a spot at the playoffs when it takes on No. 2 Rain or Shine at Cuneta Astrodome next Friday. NorthPort, which absorbed their fourth straight defeat, faces defending conference champion San Miguel Beer next. They tangle this Sunday at Big Dome.

Weil es gerade so schön war mit der vergleichenden Studie zur oft gesehenen Oscar-Wilde-Verfilmung, haben wir dann gleich noch Anthony Asquiths seit Beginn dieser Aufzeichnungen unverzeihlicherweise noch nie gesehene frühere Verfilmung von The Importance of Being Earnest angeschaut. Sie ist, wir wußten das eigentlich, eleganter, angemessener, in vornehmerer Diktion, und beinahe unerträglich charmant, lediglich die Gesangseinlagen sind nicht gar so schwungvoll. Es ist schwer, dabei Ernst zu bleiben.

The Importance of Being Earnest (1952)

My rating: 7/10

You know, if this is at all close to the reality of the British upper class, it's a miracle any of them survived. Favorite character: The butler, who is watching with obvious glee as the two women exchange verbal (and culinary) barbs.

Okay, Ranger's Apprentice fans, gather round!

For those who don't know, on the Discord server we often make memes and jokes about Gilan's lack of appearance (though let's be real, we do that here on Tumblr too). Some months ago I decided I would keep track of how many characters were given more complete descriptions than Gilan. As a reminder, here is a comprehensive description of Gilan from everything we get in the books:

He's tall

He's clean-shaven

I only counted characters from the main Ranger's Apprentice series (books 1 - 11) and The Early Years. There is a very scientific reason for this.*

There were some stipulations put into place, those being:

"Characters" were defined as figures who had both a name and at least one thing mentioned about their appearance. There are no characters in this study who don't have an appearance at all, which is why characters like Jurgen from The Early Years were excluded. At the urging of several members of the Discord server, several animals and Serthrek'nish (the mythical creature from Siege of Macindaw) were counted as "characters"

Cover art does not count as canon depictions of characters

Only features that were explicitly mentioned got counted in the description. Thus, things like skin colour weren't counted unless it was specifically alluded to. For all characters in The Emperor of Nihon-Ja, then, even though all Nihon-Jan characters could be assumed to have black hair, hair colour was only noted down as part of the description if it was actually mentioned

Clothes don't count as a description. Similarly, anything that was not purely physical didn't count, either. For instance, Halt is said to have "steady eyes", but as this is more of a character trait than a description it wasn't counted. Similarly, "beautiful" (and variations of it) isn't a description

If a character's appearance changes over time, the change isn't counted as part of their physical description as long as it references something that was already described. For example, Old Bob is mentioned as having brown hair in The Early Years, but white hair in Ranger's Apprentice - as these are both about his hair, this is not counted as two separate items in a description. Horace is mentioned as having a scar in Siege of Macindaw, which is a new physical feature, so because it's not describing something we already know about it counts as a new item in his description.

And with that, here we go! Raw data is provided below the cut.

Enjoy ^-^

* They were the only books I had access to. That's the very scientific reason.

The Stats

Following the criteria given above, there are 134 characters in Ranger's Apprentice and The Early Years. On average, they had 4.1 items in their physical description. Most characters overall had 2 items in their physical description, on par with Gilan.

80 characters have more complete descriptions than Gilan. On average, they had 5.9 items in their physical descriptions. Most of these characters had 3 items in their descriptions. By far the character with the most complete description is Norman, a character from The Battle of Hackam Heath, who has 20 items in his physical description. The runner-up is Kona, a character from The Emperor of Nihon-Ja, who has 15 items in his description. These represent 59.7% of all characters in the study.

28 characters have the same amount of physical description as Gilan (2 items in their description) and represent 20.8% of all characters in the study, whereas 25 characters had only one item mentioned in their physical description and represent 18.6% of all characters in the study (percentages are only counted to one decimal place, so they technically add up to 99.1%, but you get the picture).

Raw data below! Some character names are used more than once, which is why you might see what appear to be duplicates on the list. If you find yourself looking at a name and going "who?", well...exactly

Norman – 20 Kona – 15 Black O'Malley – 12 Morgarath – 12 Malcolm – 11 Alyss – 10 Berrigan – 10 Halt – 10 Keren – 10 Tennyson – 10 Serthrek'nish – 10 Arald – 9 John – 9 Nils – 9 Ragnak – 9 Demon Tooth – 8 Douglas – 8 Edwina – 8 Horace – 8 Old Bob – 8 Salt Peter – 8 Yusul – 8 Luka – 7 Montague – 7 Nimatsu – 7 Rosalind – 7 Shadow – 7 Cielema – 6 Farrel – 6 Ferris – 6 Niel – 6 Rodney – 6 Trobar – 6 Atsu – 5 Cormack – 5 Crowley – 5 Delia – 5 Deparnieux – 5 Duncan – 5 Egon – 5 Erak – 5 Robard – 5 Ryan – 5 Sean – 5 Tomas – 5 Umar – 5 Will – 5 Aman – 4 Cassandra – 4 Cedric – 4 Chubb – 4 Denison – 4 Ergell – 4 George – 4 Nialls – 4 Roberta – 4 Rob – 4 Robina – 4 Shigeru – 4 Xander – 4 Sir David Davidson – 3 Ebony – 3 Eiko – 3 Hassan – 3 Hilde – 3 Kyofu – 3 Jenny – 3 Liam – 3 Mussaun – 3 Orman – 3 Pauline – 3 Petulengo – 3 Phillip – 3 Poldaric – 3 Pritchard – 3 Selethen – 3 Ulf – 3 Abelard – 2 Alda – 2 Anthony – 2 Blaze – 2 Bran – 2 Bryn – 2 Deborah – 2 Farrel ��� 2 Gerald – 2 Gilan – 2 Griff – 2 Handel – 2 Jerome – 2 Killeen – 2 Kord – 2 Leander – 2 Margrit – 2 Marron – 2 Martin – 2 Mound – 2 Nuttal – 2 Peller – 2 Skinner – 2 Tiller – 2 Tom – 2 Tug – 2 Tug II – 2 Yorik – 2 Abelard I – 1 Ambrose – 1 Ayagi – 1 Barnaby – 1 Bart – 1 Carney – 1 Colly – 1 Cropper II – 1 Daniel – 1 Evanlyn – 1 Jerome – 1 Jerrel – 1 Jervis – 1 Joel – 1 Kelly – 1 Mikeru – 1 Nit'zek – 1 Oswald – 1 Ryan – 1 Sandra – 1 Saoud – 1 Teezal – 1 Wallace – 1 Warlock – 1 Willet – 1

Dorothy Tutin and Joan Greenwood in The Importance of Being Earnest (Anthony Asquith, 1952)

Cast: Michael Redgrave, Michael Denison, Edith Evans, Joan Greenwood, Dorothy Tutin, Margaret Rutherford, Miles Malleson, Aubrey Mather. Screenplay: Anthony Asquith, based on a play by Oscar Wilde. Cinematography: Desmond Dickinson. Art direction: Carmen Dillon. Film editing: John D. Guthridge. Costume design: Beatrice Dawson. Music: Benjamin Frankel. For its marvelous sendup of the drawing room drama, the intricate craftsmanship of its plot, and the unparalleled wit of its dialogue, The Importance of Being Earnest has been called a "perfect" play. But perfection in the theater doesn't readily translate to perfection on the screen, so some of the fluidity and buoyancy of Oscar Wilde's play is lost in Anthony Asquith's otherwise admirable film. Asquith's screenplay chops up and relocates parts of some of the play's acts, and it provides a theatrical frame for the action: people taking their seats in the box of a Victorian theater and the curtain rising as a woman raises her opera glasses to view the performance. Asquith immediately breaks from that frame to show Ernest (Michael Redgrave) in his bath, a scene that doesn't exist in the play and seems to be in the film only to demonstrate that the screenwriter has "opened it up" cinematically. But almost immediately we are back in the confines of Wilde's original, as Algernon (Michael Denison) arrives and the exposition begins. The frame is a nice little trick on Asquith's part, but it feels gratuitous. The play's the thing, and for the most part Asquith sticks to it. The chief glory of his film lies in his cast, most of whom had almost certainly performed their roles on stage, given the centrality of Wilde's play in the British repertoire. And although the men are perfectly fine in their roles, the women are what matter in the film: a quartet of perfectly cast, impeccably skilled performers. Lady Bracknell typically steals every production of The Importance of Being Earnest, and with her imperious delivery Edith Evans almost makes the role her own forever -- though the part has been played by equally formidable actresses like Judi Dench and Maggie Smith. No one has ever surpassed her in summoning up the full diapason while delivering the line "A handbag?" Nor is it possible to imagine a more perfect embodiment of Miss Prism than Margaret Rutherford, who makes it quite clear that the character was entirely capable of placing the novel in the pram and the baby in the valise. Gwendolen and Cecily are not so distinctly drawn in the script: Both are cunning ditzes, vehicles for epigrams, satires on girlishness. But Joan Greenwood and Dorothy Tutin give each a discrete characterization, Tutin with her sunny pretense at naïveté, Greenwood with her mastery of a voice that can go from purr to growl in nothing flat. If I give Greenwood the edge, it's only because of the way her slight lisp makes hearing her say the name Cecily such a delight.

Phoenix leans on defense anew to turn back North Port

For the longest time, Phoenix Pulse coach Louie Alas has pointed to his team’s defense as biggest factor to their string of victories. That couldn’t be truer when the FuelMasters returned to action and survived NorthPort, 98-96, Wednesday night in the 2019 PBA Philippine Cup at Araneta Coliseum. “Our defensive character has been improving,” Alas told reporters in the post-game presser. “We’ve always believed that it’s our offense that pulls us through. But this is the fourth time we won through our stops.” Matthew Wright and Justin Chua came through for Phoenix, tallying 22 and 19 points, respectively. The Batang Pier, meanwhile, drew commendable scoring performances from Moala Tautuaa and Sean Anthony, who combined for 42 markers. But the telling bit boiled down to Phoenix’s defensive might. Alas’ wards outshined NorthPort in blocks, 5-3, and steals, 11-7, a bid to keep their loss count to just a single game. “It’s because of our defense that we won the game,” he added. And while Alas could heave a sigh of relief, it  will only be brief with the Fuel Masters facing Alaska,  the team he formerly served, on Friday at MOA Arena. The FuelMasters will stake their 6-1 record, which is the second-best in the Philippine Cup. “This was hard,” he said of the cardiac game with NorthPort. “But Friday’s harder. That’s for sure.” NorthPort, on the other hand, dropped to 2-3. It faces Meralco next. Written by: Denison Rey A.

Will you be talking about the podcast? Can we make discussions with you on it ?

Yeah absolutely! I've only listened to the first four so far, but am super keen to discuss it.

Will put my thoughts behind a cut so people don't get spoiled.

The three of them are DELIGHTFUL.

Drew is a total fanboy and I'm here for it.

HOLLY! I knew a little bit about how they had to fight to get her in to begin with, but I didn't know the extent.

Shannen leaving the Charmed script in the footwell of her car and being like "Bleh, it's a Spelling script" omg

John Cho? Wow. I love how humble he is.

How could Drew not have ever watched the beginning of the show?

Anthony Denison... yeeeeppp. I haven't seen him in anything else, tbh. I wasn't keen on him as Victor, but gotta love his enthusiasm for "sci fi" shows omfg

Drew trying to coax the tea from the others is hilarious.

What does everyone else think? I have to listen to ep 5, and I noticed ep 6 has just dropped too. I'm so excited to see Dorian Gregory!
