Conclave (12A): Existing Between The World's Certainties.

One Mann's Movies Film Review of "Conclave". A stunning film from Edward Berger based on the Robert Harris page-turner. Simply brilliant. 5/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “Conclave” (2024) (From the 2024 London Film Festival). The Conservative party in the UK are currently electing a new leader through a series of secret ballots among MPs. Where or where is the motion picture of this? “WHAT? James Cleverly has been knocked out” (Stab of dramatic music). OK, perhaps not. But “Conclave” tells a different but even more dramatic story……

[fisshbones]

Oh it’s raining… 🌧️ How do they like to enjoy rainy days?

ft! albedo+klee, xiao, & furina

warnings: spoilers? for ending of fontaine aq in Furina’s. Fluff + gn!reader. Written on a whim, not proofread. Some longer than others!!!

If you enjoy please like/comment/reblog ♡

Albedo, ft Klee!

Often during rainy days Albedo partakes in making more art. He especially enjoys drawing you while you’re watching the rainfall from outside the window. However if Klee is with you guys he likes to do more child-friendly arts and crafts. You can expect for you guys to enjoy these activities for an hour or few. Klee is always so proud of her crafts and drawings, just like most kids she expects you to proudly show off her artwork to the world ( ◠‿◠ )

Xiao!

Xiao normally just attends to his daily duties when it rains. But if you really want to do something with him when it rains he will. Though he will refuse to go do anything dangerous with you, especially when it rains. (see: climbing, fighting, commissions.) These activities already have a risk he just doesn’t want you to slip or something and get hurt, mortals get hurt easier than adepti yk :( Though honestly I think the number one thing he wants to do is just listen to the rain and lay on/next to you. If you have anything you want to get off of your mind this would be the best time as the peacefulness of the weather relaxes him. Often times during these days he’ll lay his head on your lap and slowly drift off into slumber. (_ _).｡o○

Furina!

Despite everything Furina still has some childlike wonder in her. After she becomes human she seems to like and try more little things that make other humans happy too. One of those little things she loves to do is jump in puddles and I’m a firm believer in the fact Furina likes to go puddle jumping! BUT She does not like getting her normal clothes wet so, she has a few different raincoats with matching rain booties to go with them. ♡ She lets out a few giggles every couple jumps. She expects you to also hop in the puddles with her too, so you better suit up soldier! o7

Dr. William Thomas Valeria Fontaine (December 2, 1909 - December 29, 1968) taught philosophy at Lincoln University, Southern University, Morgan State College, and for twenty years at the University of Pennsylvania. He was born in Chester, Pennsylvania, the son of steelworker William Charles Fontaine and Mary Elizabeth Boyer. He graduated from Lincoln University and received his BA.

He taught part-time at Lincoln, and in his field of Latin authors, he taught a pioneering course in Negro history. He did graduate work in philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania, where he received a Ph.D, concentrating on the history of Roman thought. His dissertation was entitled Fortune, Matter, and Providence, a study of Ancius Severinus Boethius and Giordano Bruno.

He accepted a position at Southern University. He married Willa Belle Hawkins, a divorcee with two children.

In 1943 the army drafted him. He served at Holybird Signal Depot teaching literacy to Black draftees. He joined the faculty at Morgan State College as head of Psychology and Philosophy. He took a lectureship at Pennsylvania. He received a tenure-track appointment to begin that fall semester.

His concerns appeared in two notable publications. “The Mind and Thought of the Negro of the United States as Revealed in Imaginative Literature, 1876-1940,” and “Social Determination in the Writings of American Negro Scholars”.

He was diagnosed with active tuberculosis. He made a recovery for a decade when his disease was in remission. He was tenured and promoted to an associate professorship. He was one of the very rare African Americans teaching in the segregated white academy, and the only Black philosopher in the Ivy League. He won Pennsylvania’s sole teaching award in 1958.

The Civil Rights movement propelled him to take up questions of race in the US. He studied the movements of nationalism and anti-colonialism in Africa. His participation in the Conference on Negro Writers in Paris signaled this new line of thinking.

He completed Reflections on Segregation, Desegregation, Power, and Morals. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #omegapsiphi

REVIEWING THE CHARTS: 08/02/2025 (Lady Gaga, The Weeknd's Hurry Up Tomorrow, Morgan Wallen)

Lola Young sticks to #1 for a third week with “Messy” as we get another exciting week on the UK Singles Chart with several top 10 debuts, a big album release,  Welcome back to this “intriguing” series, REVIEWING THE CHARTS!

content warning: uhhh nothing this time actually

Rundown

As always, we start the week with our notable drop-outs, songs exiting the UK Top 75 – which is what I cover – after five weeks in the region or a peak in the top 40. This week, we bid adieu to “Bug” and “Favourite” both by Fontaines D.C., “2 hands” by Tate McRae, “HOT TO GO!” by Chappell Roan, “I Had Some Help” by Post Malone featuring Morgan Wallen and, temporarily of course, “Mr. Brightside”.

As for our gains and returns, it’s quite a scattered week, with the GRAMMY Awards ceremony this past weekend definitely leading to some boosts, having the whole week of post-award gains to let them surge higher, though how long that’ll last, I don’t know, and there are other gains not connected to the GRAMMYs. Lady Gaga sees residual streams for “Disease” back at #68, and Chappell Roan’s “Casual” slips back to #62, whilst there are top 40 re-entries for “Guess” by Charli xcx featuring Billie Eilish at #31 and “Not Like Us” by Kendrick Lamar at #27, whilst The Weeknd’s #1 album Hurry Up Tomorrow brings “São Paulo” with Anitta back to #21. Then there are notable gains for songs already charting, those being “No One Noticed” by The Marías at #55, “tv off” by Kendrick Lamar featuring Lefty Gunplay at #46, “Raving in the Studio” by Aitch and Bou sadly at #40, “Beautiful Things” by Benson Boone at #33 with a virally embarrassing GRAMMYs performance, “DENIAL IS A RIVER” by Doechii at #16, “Pink Pony Club” by Chappell Roan at #14 and, again, thanks to the album, “Timeless” by The Weeknd and Playboi Carti at #7. More on Abel and Gaga shortly.

As for our top five, it’s still very standard: “Sailor Song” by Gigi Perez at #5, “The Days” by Chrystal at #4, “That’s So True” by Gracie Abrams at #3, “APT.” by ROSÉ and Bruno Mars at #2, and of course, it’s getting messy at #1 but now it’s time to clean up the mess down below.

New Entries

#74 – “Say My Name” (Remix) – Morgan Seatree featuring Florence + the Machine

Produced by Morgan Seatree and Paul Epworth

Okay, I’ll bite: who the hell is Morgan Seatree? Well, turns out he’s a Manchester DJ signed to Sony, active for a while in the house scene but particularly as a remixer, with this song itself being yet another one of those remixes, a remix of a remix in fact. English indie darlings Florence + the Machine first released the song “Spectrum” on their 2011 album Ceremonials, and though as I repeat on this blog, I’ve never been a big fan of Florence, this one I find pretty undeniable thanks to the detail in the instrumentation: that sharp rise in the intro, the overbearing reverb and echo that drowns the mix, the buzzy glitch in the back of the second verse, it all speaks to an unkillable spirit that is already more danceable than their usual fair thanks to a marching band-turned-disco hybrid groove and what is basically already a diva house vocal from Ms. Welch. The squelching synth in the back of the bridge, where the fluttering harps dip in and out around her vocal, already makes for a great pre-drop build, it’s already prepared for the inevitable Calvin Harris remix that it got in 2012. Said remix is a festival banger with a classic piano house hook that debuted at #1, sitting there for three weeks and becoming the band’s first UK chart-topper, knocking Maroon 5’s “Payphone” off the top and charting well into 2013. Because the chart is in some kind of early 2010s revivalist period currently, Morgan Seatree has come to remix it yet again and… it’s kind of bizarre, in a subtle way.

Seatree has stripped the song of nearly everything except the powerful vocal, which sounds like it’s gone through stem separation despite the co-credit, so he wasn’t given access to a quality vocal here and it hurts the song. He then just implants his old-school Chicago house beat behind it and… it works? It’s got more bounce and originality to it than PAWSA, and the main synth lead is actually sprinkling all over the place like the original harps, it’s just a culture shock to have the pounding drums and maximalist detail completely replaced, with Florence’s vocal chopped up in the post-chorus as well. The power hasn’t left the vocal though, taking on this new feeling of being trapped under the dancefloor and rising out of the ground triumphantly, the victory lap of the military regiment the original empowered. It may not be an original idea to remix this song into a house track, but it’s a surprisingly original take that doesn’t modify the structure too heavily from Harris’ version yet does enough to separate and recontextualise itself, remaining pretty powerful. I didn’t expect to enjoy an up-and-coming DJ’s remix of an already popular song, that’s often a recipe for laziness, but I do think this is pretty great execution.

#67 – “I Don’t Want to Live Like This” – James Marriott

Produced by James Marriott, Aleksi Kiiskinen, Jono Suter and Eeli Savolainen

Unlike the other non-KSI YouTubers that end up on this show, I actually know who this is prior to encountering them here and cannot act like I’m above them and their chosen career like I always do. To be fair, I know little about English influencer Mr. James Marriott apart from his association with a guy called “Memeulous”, so my hopes weren’t exactly high for his musical output. I was right to lower them as well because this is smug indie landfill garbage in the same vein as fellow English YouTuber Wilbur Soot and his band Lovejoy, though they’re much more adventurous than this, with a monotonous guitar pluck, a seriously limited vocal performance that comes off more as drunken karaoke than anything and a layer of basic, unbefitting synth that does not clear this from being an absolute droll. The vocal melodies are uninspired and sound comical from Marriott, who leaves so much empty space that extra piano flutters or aborted guitar solos have to fill up space and don’t do very well given how flatly the song is produced. The song is about audience expectations and not living up to them, which can work – we’ll see it working later today – but wrapped up in faux-poetic analogy that runs well out of steam by the second verse and just sounds so disconnected. It also can’t hit that powerful of a note when said audience is a couple hundred-thousand kids on YouTube but that’s far from the song’s fault. What the song is at fault for is frankly being basic and awkward – I was surprised that this isn’t his very first song because that’s how it appears. Regardless, I hope his musical side gig takes him somewhere or at least improves, but this first chart hit is definitely not impressive.

#64 – “Love Hangover” – JENNIE featuring Dominic Fike

Produced by JENNIE and Ido Zmishlany

The BLACKPINK girls are all making separate moves as solo acts – it’ll be interesting to hear who Jisoo teams up with, as ROSÉ’s with Bruno, LISA has a duet with RAYE and Doja Cat coming for next week’s chart and JENNIE has decided to collaborate with someone so unbelievably worse that it’s ridiculous, Mr. Dominic Fike. Friends don’t always have the same high standards, even if you tour the world as a girl group together. Anyway, with surprisingly no relation to the Diana Ross classic of the same name – you know how sample nostalgia bait gets – this song goes for a moodier, alt-pop vibe fully in Fike’s territory. There’s a faux-organic soul backing, scattered pitch-shifted backing vocals and a sing-rap flow that sounds really awkwardly staccato, borderline off-beat with JENNIE’s overly manufactured vocal. The toxic relationship content is fine, but the chorus isn’t impressive and the one part I do really like, that laidback electric guitar lick, is suppressed so far back into the mix. Fike goes for a rap verse for… some reason, and he sounds so clumsy that I’m almost embarrassed for him. I suppose that the floaty, comical nature of JENNIE’s approach to the relationship is interesting, especially in the malformed outro that glitches her vocal and leads up to a resounding nothing, but the production is too stiff, as is JENNIE as a vocalist, to account for that. If it reminds me of anything, it’s that last BROCKHAMPTON album where everyone was checked out and wanted to leave. What a great comparison point when you’re still proving yourself as a solo artist.

#44 – “I’m the Problem” – Morgan Wallen

Produced by Joey Moi and Charlie Handsome

Interestingly, this is the only track this week where the lead artist isn’t credited as a co-producer, instead with Wallen’s common collaborators Mr. Moi and Mr. Handsome (to be confirmed) on the boards. To make a joke at this song’s expense is pretty cheap, falling into Morgan Wallen’s trap if anything. It won’t stop me, of course, and many others, but the idea that he’s now self-aware of his life’s issues feels quite reductive of his work up until now which has been very commonly and sometimes overly honest and self-deprecating. Sure, he complains about women all the time, but Morgan’s alcoholism and recklessness isn’t news to him, and this song isn’t even an instalment in that. It’s actually a bit of rage-bait as the song probably should have been called “If I’m the Problem”, as he whines incessantly about this vindictive woman but does cut to some remarkably deep cuts: “you hate that when you look at me, you halfway see yourself”. Wallen’s vocal feels more stable and driven than it has recently, even if his vocal production hits some weird notes, it’s not the best recording, and there is an attempt at making it sound like a dustier revenge song with all the reverb, western sound effects and fast acoustic guitar picking fit for a cowboy entering a saloon… but that still doesn’t make the airy R&B percussion fit the mix, it’s like Boi-1da showed up at the saloon uninvited. The song’s also ultimately just a heated, pissy vague-post about some ex, and without something that really resonates sonically or really, lyrically, it’s easier to ignore than it should be. Kind of an easy skip, this one, which is a shame after “Smile” was so enjoyable.

#8 – “Cry for Me” – The Weeknd

Produced by The Weeknd, Metro Boomin and MIKE DEAN

I may need to issue a formal apology to Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye. The singles for this extended, messy album rollout were, and still are, pretty rough and derivative, so much so that I’d assumed that he was kind of out of ideas, that it would be a sad and pathetic end to the trilogy, that he’d lost the passion. This feature-length album of cinematic, immersive production, layers of actually effective MIKE DEAN synth ejaculate, delicate soul samples and a great theatrical theme that carries into the song titles, audience sounds, interludes and the features coming in and out to play their roles… yeah, it shut me up, it’s brilliant, it debuted at #1 because of course it did, and I’ve yet to even begin unpacking it because, well, come on, it’s an hour and a half. It’s not a perfect album, it still has that hunk of trash “Timeless” on it, but there are only small cracks in an otherwise solidly put-together album. As for my favourites, it’s most of the tracklist but “Baptized in Fear”, “Enjoy the Show” with Future, “Niagara Falls” and “Drive” come to mind, alongside this very song.

With the enlisting of close collaborators like Metro and MIKE DEAN, who seems particularly proud of this record over on X, “Cry for Me” follows the extended Justice-assisted intro track and focuses like many of his pop hits on a failed relationship. Here, that desperate plea for reciprocated feelings and lamenting their distance doubles as his back-and-forth with his audience, particularly in reference to him losing his voice at a concert, disappointing the crowd that came to see him – “the crowd’ll scream / I block my ears to stop the cheers ‘cause the stage took a toll”, and the potently helpless lyric, “I can’t see myself and I’m not breathing”. Abel is using theatrical and performance analogies throughout the album and given this may be his final record, his anxieties about the stage cut with more melodramatic stakes than ever, especially with the track buzzing immediately with the inhuman growls and pitch-shifted soundbites that follow from where the intro track’s build-up started. Those high-pitch backing vocals are both a reminder of the audience and really, his inner child, the naivety that he’s lost over time, replaced with a thumping, Brazilian funk-adjacent percussive stomp. Abel always sounds great, this chorus is one of his catchiest, and you can easily tell when Metro came into the fold because of the cathartic trap breakdown in the second chorus, leading into a bridge wherein Abel can’t continue deflecting his pain onto others, he’s able to admit that it’s him “burning up [his] home” – the usual release of the signature “ooh, yeah!” hits a deflated note after a pitched-down final chorus. As an individual song, it’s a layered synthy jam, and as part of the album, it’s the ultimate tone-setter, plotting out the narrative for the rest of the record. It may seem like a long listen especially in the rockier early stages, but it’s worth diving in.

#6 – “Abracadabra” – Lady Gaga

Produced by Lady Gaga, watt and Cirkut

To have the highest debut after only three or so days of tracking is impressive – once again, I may need to apologise here because I had thought that Gaga’s solo work would mostly continue to have disappointing returns but turns out she just needed the right song and video to deliver a smash again. And this is a smash hit, not just statistically, it sounds like one. Of course, our story actually starts in 1981, with goth rockers Siouxsie and the Banshees and their song “Spellbound”, a witchified rollick that peaked at #22, whilst Michael Jackson’s “One Day in Your Life” was #1. Gaga’s taken melodic hints of that song to add a darker, theatrical bombast to what is already pretty explosive. Reminiscent of ARTPOP, ugly industrial-adjacent bass synths seem to immediately halt the song’s momentum into a warped, staggered rhythm, before being replaced by 90s house pianos and choppy drum fills that end with a stark, haunted vocal clip, as Gaga delivers a surprisingly motivational set of lyrics aiming to burn bridges and start anew. In what appears initially as a nod to her nonsense, name-dropping hooks from, say, “Bad Romance”, the chorus actually features her casting spells in Latin over a great buzzy synth bass that creeps around the bottom of the track like a frog being added to the pot, boiling into the potion that is that awkward post-chorus, Gaga stretching the words to a whimsical, almost bratty melody that echoes a cheerleader chant as much as it does her last words before the room collapses with her in it. I’d prefer if the song had a more developed bridge than just a euphoric high-register vocal, in fact, the entire final moments feel quite abrupt with the chopped-off final chorus and late entry for some strings that crowd the mix, but overall, this is still a great song, an immediate anthem that Gaga just has not had in this vein for a while. Whatever comes out of that next album, Mayhem, I’m definitely more intrigued than I was with only “Disease” and “Die with a Smile” preceding it. Now I just want to know what branches these sounds together.

Conclusion

It was a real mixed bag this week but far from an uninteresting or frustrating one. In fact, there’s a lot of great stuff and The Weeknd just barely hits that Best of the Week with “Cry for Me”, with a tied Honourable Mention to Lady Gaga for “Abracadabra” and Morgan Seatree’s remix of Florence + the Machine on “Say My Name”. It’s also a pretty close run to the bottom, but what separates the two is that JENNIE and Fike are allegedly professionals, and “Love Hangover” is straight-up depressingly bad, so that takes the Worst of the Week, with James Marriott taking a pity Dishonourable Mention for “I Don’t Want to Live Like This Anymore”. As for what’s on the horizon, we’ll see the aforementioned LISA track for sure, and potentially Mr. Tommy Richman, Caity Baser, Alex Warren, Sonny Fodera or even that Elton John/Brandi Carlisle collab. For now, however, thank you for reading, rest in peace to Irv Gotti, pioneer of the “Murder Remix” that were actually completely different songs entirely, and I’ll see you next week!

Starmania 1993

This first version of the show created without Michel Berger …

Performed from 1993 to 2001 at the Théâtre Mogador, then at the Palais des Congrès to continue at the Palais des Sports and finish at the Casino de Paris, we can almost say that it is a traveling show !

This version will have a controversial success, part of the public will love it while the other will simply hate it

The costumes were considered ugly and the staging bordered on the psychedelic, some critics would even say that this version was a betrayal /a terrible parody of the original show

The album :

What made this version unique was the possibility of language choice

In English on Friday (probably to pay homage to the Tycoon project) and naturally in French the rest of the week

Clip :

Legally speaking there is only one official recording of the show with the troupe from 2000, but a recording of Tycoon, probably filmed discreetly by a spectator is available :

Tycoon 1993 :

Fanmade of the 1994 French version :

Starmania 2000 :

ANECDOTES :

For the first time Roger Roger is no longer a human character

He is now a robot with the voice of Muriel Robin in French and Tim Rice in English

For the tour across France the robot will not be used for budgetary reasons , his lines of dialogue will be distributed to other characters

...

I don't talk about it in my other pages but Cristal's death has evolved a lot over time !!

1979 : She falls from the roof of Naziland

1988 : Zero's guards shoot her

1993 : Her bomb makes her explode

2000 : Zero January strangles her with his bare hands

2022 : Sadia shoots her

...

For the first time

The auditions for the role of Sadia were open to men !!

Unfortunately at the time of writing Sadia has still not been interpreted by a man ...

...

Andy Cocq and Eric Melville were spotted by Plamondon when they both auditioned for Notre Dame de Paris !!

...

Andy Cocq is one of the big names in the world of French musicals, having played in Emilie Jolie 2002, le Soldat Rose , Doty et le magicien d'Oz , the French adaptations of Spamlot and the Producers

Which I had the chance to see at the Paris theater in 2022

...

Luce Dufault is the only performer in the history of Starmania to have performed on stage while she was 6 months pregnant

...

Technical accident occurred at the Mogador when Bruno Pelletier's long hair was found stuck while he was suspended in the air and had to go down on stage roped up !

The show stopped and Plamondon himself came on stage to reassure the audience, in his own words :

A member of the black stars must be able to face any eventuality !

...

In 1995, Stella Spotlight's slide dress hit the stage…

Without Patsy Gallant !

The singer had gone backstage to quench her thirst and had forgotten that she had to make a short appearance on stage

🥯I love to write fluffs, they are just so wholesome. I write smuts as well, but I am still developing my skill in that area. Please bare with me lol. Angst stories are also fun for me to write, so if anyone has requests from any categories, send them my way!

🥯My stories going forward are mostly aimed toward my African American audience. Some will be written in a neutral light, but I want to add more content for my black girlies out here.

🥯Anyone wondering what will happen with my old posts, I will keep them posted. I still like to go back and see what my writing used to look like and I know there are people who enjoy those stories as well. (We stan growth over here!)

🥯Please DO NOT request anything containing incest or pedophilia (I will not write romantically about anyone under the age of 18)

🥯Please don't rush me. Period.

🥯Don't be afraid to talk to me! I'm just a regular person like you. If there is some advice you'd like to give or comments you want to make, I am open to them all. All I ask is that we keep it nice and respectful. You respect me and I'll respect you.

🥯I WILL NOT be tolerating any type of hate or rudeness on this account. (any comments along those lines will be deleted and blocked)

🥯This account is a safe place for readers to unwind and live out fantasies. More specifically, I want this to be a place for black people to be able to see fics made for them. I want to write stories that are more relatable and less stereotypical.
