How did Austin F react to Punk's return?

She’s intrigued but mostly her mind is on trying to get her family back together.

why yes, I’m still campaigning for Baz Luhrmann to direct a biopic on Old Hollywood’s badass “good girl” Olivia de Havilland, and yeah, I would like to see Austin Butler as pretty beanpole Jimmy Stewart. Baz, if you’re seeing this, I might have a whole screen play written and stashed in a box under my bed, call me 🥂

Beyond Paradise Christmas special details

Beyond Paradise Christmas special details

The BBC’s bumper Christmas lineup includes details of the Beyond Paradise Christmas special. No clue as to exactly when we will see it, though. Here’s what you need to know: It’s Christmas time in Shipton Abbott, where Humphrey (Kris Marshall) and the team find themselves wrapped up in two festive cases. When recently widowed Bob Holland (Mark Heap) is ordered to leave his home by a vision of…

Sonic the Oz-Hog Act 6/12: Four Score and Three Games Ago!

Sonic Super Special Magazine issue 3 AU Publication Date: 4th June 2012 Price: $16.95

As our ancient Mayan forebearers gazed upon unspoiled lands from atop majestic pyramids, one can only imagine how they'd react to modern interpretations of their culture. How despite the transformations and advancements of western civilization, glyphs methodically chiseled to immense stone slabs continued to fascinate. How translations suggested the conclusion of their 13th b'ak'tun (or whichever term they preferred at the time) would unleash a time of speculation, panic and turmoil on a society often proclaiming itself as peak humanity.

Chances are they'd pause, stare at one-another, and share a good chuckle.

Such was the feeling of living through 2012. While the months slowly clicked down, prophecy morphed into profit seeking. Books, documentaries and movies sought to captivate audiences with doomsday diatribes. Local frugal publications printed tales of an impending destructive December. Murdoch's finest conservative newspaper covers heralded hastily photoshopped images of a drained Darling Harbour. Yet above all this doom and gloom, the impending extinction of all life on Earth meant something far more sinister; a grand total of zero new Sonic the Hedgehog media beyond that terrifying date.

Obviously the resultant cosmic shift would impact all of SEGA's output, but that didn't stop fans logging on to voice their outrage. "It's bad enough having to contemplate the crushing futility of a mortal universe…" wrote Shawn Nickeltenn, a youth volunteer at Marble Gardens Retirement Village who often posted under the alias of 'MightyPrower93' on the now-defunct Radio Free Robotropolis message board. "…But now there's not even the comfort of knowing that Sonic will continue with new games and comics under a new creative team in an entirely new universe for fans to complain about!"

Humour aside, the fandom didn't need rely on ancient Mayan calendars to spruike dark times for the blue boy, when financial and critical woes already plagued the House of Hedgehog. Sonic Generations started strong, as SEGA proudly boasted their 2011 offering broke all previous pre-order records in Sonic history. Critics loved it. Audiences loved it. Until sales tanked within a month against a flurry of other high profile games.

2012 marched on. Fans across the world were poised, primed, ready to celebrate their favourite masot's impending 21st birthday. Good timing too, for the rodent would undoubtedly need a stiff drink after future IGN subsidiary GameTrailers declared in early March that Sonic won the "well-deserved perch" in their Worst Blockbusters list. The beastial undertones of Sonic '06 proved horrifying enough, while Unleashed, Adventure 2 and the Olympic tie-ins "Do not deserve the cash they generated".

Between intense layoffs in their US and European divisions, and reports of SEGA suffering a predicted loss of upward 85 million dollars, rumours soon abounded of a potential series reboot coming 2014. Some hoped Nintendo or Archie would buy out SEGA, or try a new game in the style of then-hot Skylanders. Other commentators, optimistic as ever, declared "I don't see SEGA being around ten years from now. So the reboot idea seems pointless to me". It wasn't all bad however. US viewers got to see Sonic back on TV in January 2012 spruiking $380 automotive insurance. Probably the only "Progressive" media that hardcore conservative Sonic fans might enjoy.

Australian media meanwhile was enjoying Julia Gillard (and how refreshing it is to discuss a different Prime Minister for once), sadly for all the wrong reasons. By this point she was two years into top job, having successfully retained national leadership after a second spill motion from vindictive predecessor Kevin Rudd. This would not be the last time they went to loggerheads as she continued battling the vengeful former leader, entitled internal party members, and low polling brought on by a complicit conservative mainstream media. Elsewhere in June 2012, cunning linguist Flo Rida managed to whistle his way to number one on the local music charts, blowing away Carly Rae Jepsen. Men in Black 3's time travel antics weren't enough to stop Ridley Scott's Promethius bursting the box office. And in less than two months, Channel 9 would captivate audiences with their coverage of the London 2012 Olympics. Ultimately the home team reaped in a paltry 35 medals, with the swimmers having to pick up the slack by scoring ten.

A disappointing result. As would be fan reaction to Archie's third installment of their Sonic Super Special Magazine series.

Making its way to local newsagents over a week before Sonic the Hedgehog issue 235 and less than a week after Sonic Universe issue 39, the existence of this premium packaged product was already contentious among fans, with its often hedgehog hodgepodge of reprinted stories. Reviews this time around saw little improvement.

What should've been a turning point for the book with its "Exclusive story inside!" was anything but. "Oh boy, I can say I was disappointed with SSSM. The Sonic 4 plot? Tiny. To put it in a nutshell "Sonic, beats Death Egg robo, talks to Tails on Little Planet, fly off, hey look its metal." That's it. Bit of a shame really." or "Someone please tell me that the Sonic 4 ep 2 story will be more than five pages? That's all we usually get for game adaptations lately, and it's usually ridiculous.". Reader reactions ranged from "Oh geez, that sucks. You'd think for a 130-page magazine we'd get something a bit more substantial." and "Pretty much is a cas(sic) grab putting something slightly new in there to get people to buy it.", to "Yardley accidently drew Green Hill instead of Splash Hill..".

Setting aside the game adaptation, the special's remaining stories raised further eyebrows. Issue 176's 'Cracking the Empire' made the cut because... reasons, while Michael Gallagher and Patrick Spaziante's acclaimed 'Go Ahead, Mecha My Day!' ensured Archie literally gave complaining fans the finger. As opposed to 2008's Sonic Archive Volume 7, this version of issue 25's blockbuster story saw a further edit on the penultimate page, whiting out a finger used to represent the reader pressing a button. Resources such as the Archie Sonic Wiki may suggest the reason for such a change is unknown, but it's clear they did it to disguise the Caucasian pantone, making the insert feel more inclusive. Archie Sonic pulled quite a global readership for its time, thus fans could imagine themselves regardless of race in Sonic's shoe-erm, gloves, pressing the button to bring our loathed Big Round Guy crashing down.

For Aussie readers, and fans of Sally Acorn in bondage (a sentence this author never thought they'd unironically type), the inclusion of 'Reigning Cats and Dogs' was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. The two-part reprint specifically chosen to hype upcoming stories featuring Lupe and her Wolfpack proved a happy coincidence, as the latter installment completed a nearly 2-year long 'lost' Sonic story. More on that contentious matter in a later post.

As history has come to show, the world did not end right before Christmas 2012, and Sonic's adventures both in and out of comics would continue for many years to come. Much to the conviviality (or was that consternation?) of fans everywhere.

'Ripley, the upcoming psychological thriller series written, created, and directed by Steven Zaillian and produced by Andrew Scott and Enzo Sisti, stars Tom Ripley as its primary character.

Netflix has unveiled the trailer for its new limited series, which is due to premiere on April 4, 2024. The series is based on Patricia Highsmith's bestselling novel, Tom Ripley.

The story revolves around a con artist who travels back to Italy to bring back a wealthy man's son. The mini-series has eight episodes.

It stars Andrew Scott in the lead role, along with Dakota Fanning as Marge Sherwood and Johnny Flynn as Dickie Greenleaf. The secondary cast of the series includes Pasquale Esposito, Eliot Sumner, Liz Tancredi, Dan Matteucci, and Austin Green.

Is Tom Ripley's character based on a real story?

The character is indeed very catchy, but a fictional one. The character is not based on any real person or a true story. Instead, he's the lead character in the crime novels by Patricia Highsmith.

The adventures of Tom Ripley span five books, namely: The Talented Mr. Ripley, Ripley Under the Ground, Ripley's Game, The Boy Who Followed Ripley and Ripley Under Water.

His story begins in Boston, where his parents died in Boston Harbor and he was orphaned when he was only five years old. He was raised by his aunt, Dottie, who wasn't very fond of him either.

He finds his way to New York City and tries out his luck in acting. However, he turns out to be a con artist, as he keeps assuming different identities and forging signatures.

His life takes an unexpected turn when he becomes friends with a wealthy man, Dickie Greenleaf and gets fascinated by his lifestyle. He strives to maintain the same and tries everything in his power to do so. The fictional character's games with the Italian police make his story more captivating.

How many movies or TV series have been made about Tom Ripley?

The character has received five movie adaptations so far. The first adaptation was Purple Moon, which came out in 1960. This French-Italian film stars Alain Delon as Tom Ripley. The second adaptation was the German-French movie The American Friend, which was released in 1977. It featured Dennis Hopper as Ripley.

The character was adapted for the third time in The Talented Mr. Ripley, released in 1999. The Bafta-winning movie starred Jude Law, Matt Damon, Cate Blanchett and Gwyneth Paltrow. It was the first time the character was brought to life on the big screen.

In 2005, Ripley Under Ground was released, in which Barry Pepper portrayed the lead. The final adaptation will feature Scott as the lead.

Is Tom Ripley a psychopath?

His character doesn't fit into the definition of a psychopath, although some of his traits match this personality type. Ripley's character is skilled at deceiving others. He is capable of easily charming and manipulating others, masking his true intentions.

He lacks empathy and is willing to harm or kill without any remorse to get what he wants. He lacks genuine emotions but can imitate them when necessary.

Ripley premiers on April 4, 2024, on Netflix...'
