Edna Mae Harris (September 29, 1914 – September 15, 1997), sometimes credited as Edna May Harris was an American actress and singer. Harris was one of the first African–American film actress of the late 1930s and early 1940s, appearing in films featuring mostly African–American casts.

Born in Harlem, Harris parents were Sam, a boxer and customs inspector; Her mother Mary Harris (née Walker) worked as a maid. Harris' family is noted as one of the first families to have migrated to Harlem. Settling near the Lafayette Theater, Harris was convinced into pursuing a career in show business by Ethel Waters and Maud Russell who were frequent visitors to her family home. After being coached on her singing and dancing by Waters and Russell, Harris began performing in the Theater Owners Booking Association (TOBA). An African-American vaudeville circuit, Harris performed with TOBA from 1929 until 1933.

Harris attended Wadleigh High School (later known as Wadleigh High School for Girls) in Manhattan. During the summer after her sophomore year of high school, Harris worked at the Alhambra Theater doing dramatic sketches with a stock company. During this period, Harris received excellent training in diction and stage delivery through her association with veteran performers. Harris was also an excellent swimmer in high school, and in 1928 she entered the New York Daily News' Swimming Meet and won a championship.

Harris first real Hollywood break came when she landed a part in The Green Pastures (1936), portraying Zeba, starring with Eddie 'Rochester' Anderson. Harris was a leading lady in Spirit of Youth (1938), the story of the rise of boxer Joe Thomas, which paralleled the life of Joe Louis. Harris also had leading roles in Oscar Micheaux films, Lying Lips (1939), and The Notorious Elinor Lee (1940). Her film credits also include such Hollywood films as Bullets or Ballots (1936), Private Number (1936), and Garden of Allah (1936), and the independent film Paradise in Harlem in 1939. Between picture commitments she toured with Noble Sissle's Orchestra as a featured vocalist along with Lena Horne and Billy Banks. In 1942, she played fourteen weeks at the old Elks' Rendezvous as the mistress of ceremonies and announced a weekly radio show over station WMCA in New York City. She also did character dialect parts on many broadcasts for the Columbia Workshop Program. Edna Mae Harris got to tell her story in her later years in the documentary, Midnight Ramble (1994), about independently produced black films.

Harris was married twice and had no children. Her first marriage was to Edward Randolph from 1933 until 1938, then to Harlem nightclub owner Walter Anderson from 1951 until his death in 1983. Harris dated boxer Joe Louis sometime during 1939 and 1940. Harris dated Robert Paquin, who co-starred with her in the Lying Lips from 1941 until 1942. Harris died of a heart attack on September 15, 1997 at the age of 82.

Shuri/Black Panther

Sue Storm/Invisible Woman

Sylvie

Thor

Tommy Shepherd/Speed

Valkyrie

Vision

Wade Wilson/Deadpool

Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch

Wong

Yelena Belova

Not all of these characters should necessarily be equally prominent; that would be impossible. But I think they all should have, at the very least, a small yet significant part in the story.

I think the Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four, and former Avengers and Guardians should split up, mix and match to introduce interesting new group dynamics. Carol and Yelena should each fill the roles for Kamala and Kate, respectively, that Tony filled for Peter. Scott and Thor should each continue to look after their respective daughters, Cassie and Love, as best they can.

Strange, Clea, Agatha, Wanda, Billy, and Wong should be forced to work together to combat the mystical elements of Doom’s threat.

Loki, Sylvie, Wade, Logan, and Laura should all factor into the time-travel/multiverse aspects of the situation.

Adam, America, Billy, Cassie, Kamala, Kate, Laura, Love, and Tommy should all gradually grow into their own across the two movies and essentially embody hope for the next generation.

Ideally, the main characters should be those who are long-established so they can get proper swan songs and send-offs (i.e., Bruce, Bucky, Peter, Sam, Strange, Thor, Vision & Wanda.) These 8 should all serve as leaders within whatever group(s) they land in and ultimately pass the torch.

My ideal Avengers: Secret Wars cast

I definitely believe at least a few of the aforementioned characters will die in Doomsday. (My money is on Bruce, Bucky, Groot, Hank Pym, Janet, Rocket, and Wong.) At least one of the death scenes should feature Rio/Death taking their souls away.

In addition, I don’t feel Secret Wars would be complete without at least cameo appearances by:

Charles Xavier/Professor X (played by James McAvoy)

Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto (played by Michael Fassbender)

Hank McCoy/Beast (played by Kelsey Grammer in The Marvels)

Jean Grey (played by Famke Janssen)

Maria Rambeau/Binary (played by Lashana Lynch in The Marvels)

Marie/Rogue (played by Anna Paquin)

Peter Parker/Spider-Man (played by Andrew Garfield)

Peter Parker/Spider-Man (played by Tobey Maguire)

Scott Summers/Cyclops (played by James Marsden)

Let’s hope we get that rumored Logan & Tobey-Peter interaction!

Also, two essential moments of massive emotional impact in either or both films that need to happen are interactions between Loki & Thor, and between Wanda, Vision, Billy & Tommy.

Hey, in your MotA musings, have you ever had any thoughts about Blakely, Douglass or DeMarco? Inquiring minds, etc., etc.

Katie, I will give you what will doubtless be a disappointing but true answer.

When I started writing for MOTA, I wanted to make sure that I had a couple of really solid characters before I started trying to take on the entire universe. To be honest, I don't feel like I have enough brain power to handle the three I'm working on, let alone anyone else, and I'm not even sure I'm doing a good job with those three!

(I'm slowly admitting to myself that I'm maybe juuuuust a little burned out on large ensemble writing pieces, so three is about my limit right now.)

They're all great characters, but I kind of felt like everyone was writing for DeMarco, Douglass felt a bit easy, and Blakeley's married.

Stray thoughts:

Blakeley was almost paired with Fred. I think he may end up being more of a scene partner for Laura Simpson, Cord's friend, since Laura is also already attached, to a fighter pilot. In a universe where Joan Warren has a pilot's license and decides to join the Air Forces, our regular patron saint of stray dogs Benny DeMarco has to put up with Maggie Paquin as his tail gunner, and Jim Douglass has a crush on Billie you could see from outer space. (Actually, let's be fair, Doug has a crush on everyone, but the one for Billie is the one that calls the loudest.)

Oh, and I did write the thing with Edie and Doug.

That's not to say it won't change! One of the OCs I'm borrowing currently wants to push Jack Kidd into a filing cabinet and kiss him senseless, which I would not have called several months ago.

Is there a masterlist of, like, actors and celebrities that have come forward for trans rights?

I know the internet has all sorts of collections of people who've done something messed up and those always depress me but reading about David Tennant being supportive in the face of the UK government and current legislation and stuff really hit me and I'd love to be able to see who else is out there standing up for us and what's right.

If not, here's a list I'm putting together, feel free to add to it or add context in the notes if you want! I'm including celebrities who have affirmed their support for trans family members even if they're not doing other activism. I'm also only listing celebrities I know of, and this list does not in any way endorse any problematic stuff any of them may have done outside of the topic.

Just making this list is cheering me up a lot tbh

WHY I LOVE ALMOST FAMOUS (2000) - A Film by Cameron Crowe-

I think it would be most appropriate if I debuted (if you will) talking about one of my favourite films, though that title shouldn’t have a hefty weight to it. I fell in love with this film a while back, in a moment where the soul craved an escape into a 70s rock scene, & it landed in the best place. Last year, I watched this film- & I wish it was an exaggeration- around 50 times. Whenever a pick me up was needed, I sought it out. Why? That’s what I’ll talk about now~

Where to start? The favourite thing is easily the music, all of it just fits into place. It is elevating, & gives you such a good taster for what that era had to offer, especially to someone who might not know a lot about the 70s but wants to learn- the soundtrack is highly recommended. For those of us who already know a bit, it was a nice toasty reminder of the best songs that fit into each mood of the film, & reminded you to just slip those songs back into your playlists. Easily, if the music doesn’t feel like your vibe, I feel like the film kind of slips away a bit, but stick with it! I think there is something highly beautiful about the characters that I’m going to leave you to discover, because tbh, I don’t want to talk about them all. However honourable mention to fringe guy (Ed) who spills his guts on the shaky plane, I got you babe, Sonny & Cher style. Also holy mother of fuck! The amount of just amazing actors in this film…where do I begin? Kate Hudson, Billy Crudup (he is also in another favourite of mine; 20th Century Women- maybe I’ll write about it; we won’t mention Alien Covenant…), Patrick Fugit (love his surname), Anna Paquin (honourable Trick ‘r Treat mention?), Zooey Deschanel (who’s that girl?), Jason Lee (I don’t have to mention his career), Philip Seymour Hoffman, Frances McDormand, bloody Jimmy Fallon, Fairuza Balk, Noah Taylor (submarine man), Rainn Wilson, Eric fucking Stonestreet just showing up outta nowhere, same as Nick Swardson (bowie!!!) & Susan Yeagley (you have a good day) just casually being there for 2 seconds. Ok I’ll stop geeking out for no reason, it’s just exciting!

I think I’m gonna just dive in. This film is special to me because of the way it changed me. I always daydreamed this idea of what I wanted to be like, & then I saw Penny Lane for the first time, & I watched in awe, because she is everything I’ve always wanted to be. & it made me realise that nothing is stopping me, I can be extroverted & talk to people. It doesn’t cost much to open yourself up like that, & to be honest her character isn’t perfect, she is flawed, but in the ways I am, which reminded me to be more gentle with myself, & also it puts everything into perspective. Penny is lonely, she is “surrounded” by people, but in reality none are there for her, she is there for everyone. When it comes to shedding this persona she has crafted, no one wants to hold the girl underneath it all, apart from William, who is the only person who genuinely loves her. She to others is a means of time-passing entertainment, while she?- a young girl who’s influenced, falls in love with everything, she is incredibly perceptive & though she acts tough, she gets heartbroken & falls apart like all girls do at 16, she was a victim of a power-play relationship; we could deepen on that, but at the moment I want it to be surface level, this was the 70s, & it was incredibly common & not spoken of, all hush hush. I think the most heart-breaking scene to me is her birthday scene, this is cut out & in the extended versions, but to sum up: it’s right before the ‘what kind of beer?’ scene, & the façade is coming to an end, everyone is getting ready for the next adventure, & Penny doesn’t know where else to go. She just assumed she’d be with Russel, & as she cuts more cake & asks anyone if they want any more, everyone starts quietening around her; she practically asks a void, then loses her voice, & the dawning reminder that she has to start leaving enters her mind. She half smiles through this whole realisation, but you can see her heart start to crack under it all. She was just a pawn in their game, they knew this, let her think otherwise, & it just reminds me of all those times of suddenly feeling like the place you knew so well wasn’t shaped for you anymore, & you start to outgrown it, or more, it starts to outgrow you, & you lose your footing. I think this scene changed my perception of Penny’s character for me a lot. Initially watching the film I star-gazingly watched her, but as I got older & paid attention to the small moments that valued a lot in her character, I realised her whole act is just that, an act. & there’s a frightened young girl who wants to also be just as loved as this Penny Lane, Lady Goodman, & she is the true person who is only ever shown to William. I do want to mention, I don’t think William or Russel is a fit for Penny, I think, though William’s love is more authentic, he is young, & regardless of if he realises, he won’t benefit her much. I do think he loved her for herself rather than what she could be for him like Russel does, but I think Penny needs someone who isn’t involved in all of that rock n roll life. Last thing to mention with Penny Lane naturally is her clothes, I’ve also purchased an afghan coat that I wear every winter, & it makes me live out my best Penny Lane dreams. But I’ve read a LOT about what the costume designer (Betsy Heimann) has said about how Penny Lane’s clothes were fashioned. & I read a lot about how the coat was more than a coat, it symbolises her ferocity & strength when it’s on, a shell, without it she is wearing not much material, she is bare, & that is the real Lady Goodman underneath it all. However I will say I love that the fur on the coat is actually an Urban Outfitters rug that has been dyed a ton. I wish I could have that coat…one day.

I think we have to talk about William, doy. I think I also relate to him a lot, I also think he & Penny are so much more similar than he realises, because she is living in the world he wants to, but she is just as much an outsider, it’s all about how you present yourselves in those environments. William is playing us, the audience, he goes through the same motions of awe & admiration at this incredible life that happens on the road, it’s jolly & warm in the beginning, he is excited to be a part of something at first, not realising he doesn’t fit in with their views of the world, as Lester Bangs states, he is ‘uncool’, which he feels (we could argue that then means as the audience that we too are uncool spectators of their lives just like him; important to consider that Cameron Crowe wrote the film basically about his life as a rock journalist, so his POV is our POV). What even does ‘cool’ mean to each & every person? Something different, I think it’s not such an argument to make about William’s coolness, but instead to consider what the rock n rollers think cool is, which is themselves, William is a dorky guy who does journalism & carrier a tape recorder around with a notebook glued to his palm. Things to consider guys. Aside from his outside not fitting in (maybe a mullet would fix it?) he also actively stands outside from what they are doing, because he is there to watch them, but you can feel that sense of wanting to be them by the way he looks at them. I think I like William’s character because I also think he goes through the different stages of being with musicians, it’s so cool at first, as Lester Bangs says, ‘they make you feel cool’ & like he is their friend, but he is not. & I appreciate his innocent & honest outlook on all of it, sometimes he kind of seems like the kind of person who is at the wrong place at the wrong time, he just is there as a stepping stone, then gets used up like Penny. I will be honest, I don’t know much to say about William now, maybe because I left it for a bit & came back so my train of thought on William has strayed. But also, he is 15, & so I don’t really know how to judge a character as much when they’re half-baked as people (not half-baked characters- 15 is just so young, you’re so unfinished). I rather just appreciate his views, & that he doesn’t let them corrupt his innocence as much, unless you account the band-aids all sharing the room with him…

I think without a doubt, the best & most overlooked character is Lester Bangs, he says some things that just always light up my perception of everything. He is an incredible character. We don’t know MUCH about him personally, though he is a big music connoisseur, so maybe that really is all he is. But the scene with him in the café with William (lol also at the ‘I don’t have time to sit around & talk to my many fans’), he says something I think, if anything is to be taken from this film, it is this line: ‘be honest & unmerciful’, go headstrong into the world, be soft when the moments call, but if you’re honest & open, then you’re doing something right (with moderation of course). I think so much could be said about this great film, & to be honest cutting it short to this feels unfinished, maybe I’ll add stuff on later as it goes on. But I think it’s something everyone should really watch when they need to be taken away. It’s an easy film to follow, & I think it will mean either too much to some people, or others won’t find it a necessary watch. Whatever floats your boat?

I highly doubt anyone will see this, I am writing to clear my mind which is always so full of words. I watch so many films all the time, & I love to talk about them. Having an open space to just call out into any abyss (which is better I know nothing about where this is going to) feels like conversation enough. I’ll maybe write more, but in reality I just need to push forward & see how I can articulate my words in a better format & way, but for now. Diary entry style should work for me. That’s all. Thanks spooky!

P.S. I am more of an avid horror film fan, but I can be diverse!

I once saw a YouTube comment that Will Harrison looks like Robert Pattinson and I haven't been able to unsee it since.

Yes, they do look alike!! I would cast them as brothers, cause I truly think Robert Pattinson and Will Harrison do look alike. Also I thought that Josh Whitehouse upper face (high cheeks and eyes) kinda looked like Robert a bit, so yeah...XD And Robert has weird but cute ears, gray bluish greenish eyes and square killing chiseled jaw, just like Sam does...XD

Sam has plenty too btw : Nicholas Hoult, and Ed Skrein come to mind. Older also looks similar to Sam : Kris Holden Ried, Toby Stephens , Tom Cavanagh and Iain Glen.

Chaos , right? ... I like them all...Should i just move to UK? XD

So yeah, lots of lost family. Most Hot people on Hollywood look similar tbh.

You have: Anne Hathaway, Eva Longoria, Sandra Bullock (if you squint hard enough), Dua Lipa and Emily Ratajkowski for Camila Morrone.

Also Kristen Stewart, Drew Barrymore, Teresa Palmer, Elizabeth Gillies, Elaine Hendrix and Young redhead (pre botox) Nicole Kidman ( like she was in Practical Magic) and Meriem Uzerli look like Riley Keough. My cousin says Stef Dawson and Riley Keough look alike , she mixes them. I think they could pass as sisters tbh. Some say Jena Malone too (but Ive seen a movie with both of them together as a romantic couple, and I dont see It XD. However , I do see Jena and Kristen though).

Gavin Drea looks like a mix between Richard Armitage and Peter Facinelli. He IS that Hot (so sad his Djats character sucked)

And Suki IS a prettier hotter mix between Anna Paquin and Billie Piper. Period.

Conclusion: Will and Sam in Djats did look like brothers to me , so... Rob and Sam could play brothers too.

My family template or lookalikes are chaotic , but like...fitting XD

Youll see now. I'll post It!

[zalrb]

Could you do a ranking your favorite scream movies and why?

Scream

I'm not really sure if this needs an in-depth breakdown. It's iconic. The originator. The ultimate make-fun-of-and-pay-homage-to-movie-tropes movie. The first phone call, Drew Barrymore dying in the first 5 minutes? The dialogue, the meta, the balance, it's just all so well-done.

Scream 2

Randy is correct, this one is inferior to the first but it is a great sequel and not an inferior movie. I love the Ghostface reveals, they're very fun and funny, they're so close to being my favourite (but Billy and Stu reign supreme) the conversation about desensitization and art imitating life was carried throughout and carried throughout well. Joshua Jackson and Sarah Michelle Gellar having their small roles in it is great 90s teen pop culture reference.

Scream 4

Scream 3

I'm going to talk about them together. I put Scream 4 before Scream 3 because I think Scream 4 is technically tighter and the reveal of Jill Roberts being Ghostface was more interesting than Roman's reveal, which was kind of a jump the shark moment. Scream 3 had some good elements, like Sidney getting attacked on the set of the movie-within-the-movie so her life has become blended with pop culture, and in a lot of ways the third movie is the most meta considering the actors in Stab are given the same complaints about Stab that the actors in Scream had about the movie, i.e. the constant rewrites. Roman having to do the Stab movie before he could do his romance is what happened with Wes Craven, he had to direct Scream before he could do the movie he wanted so while Stab is a movie about the characters' lives, Scream 3 is kind of a movie about what's going on with the cast. That's deep-dive inside baseball meta. But it's not very fun. It is certainly more fun than Scream 5 or 6 but it kind of drags, Sidney is hardly in it because Neve only worked 20 days, and the supporting characters aren't nearly as engaging, not like how Randy was, or even Tatum and Halli.

Scream 4 didn't feel as laborious, it's light on the meta compared to the first three, but it's back to that kind of light, tongue and cheek vibe. Emma Roberts niece to Julia Roberts playing Jill Roberts who is tired of being Sid's cousin is a very big wink. Rory Culkin being in it, great choice. Having Adam Brody and Kristen Bell and Anna Paquin and those girls from PLL and Degrassi TGN do cameos were all great pop culture references. It also delivered on the "modern horror film" rules in a more satisfying way to me than Scream 3 did on the trilogy rules, like the deaths being more gruesome or "shocking" for the time and for the franchise like Jill shooting Trevor in the balls, which wouldn't have happened before.

Scream 5 + 6 are equal to me

I find them equally joyless and charmless tbh, I have the same "meh" attitude towards both of them.
