From book to script to screen. See The Good Nurse as the actors first did and study the progression of a key scene.
Screenplays have always fascinated me, especially when reading them after seeing the completed film. In the case of The Good Nurse, I had first read the source material, Charles Graeber’s deeply researched and profoundly disturbing book, as well.
Finding the screenplay online was a thrill, being able to see the director’s and actors’ choices that fleshed out screenwriter Krysty Wilson-Cairns’ carefully crafted retelling of Charlie Cullen’s inexplicable, bloodless murder spree and how it was stopped.
Enjoy this glimpse into the filmmaking process by clicking here to read the script:
For director Tobias Lindholm’s anatomy of the diner scene, watch this:

And here are the actors breaking down that same scene, shot by shot:

Little Book Review: Nonfiction Round-Up (May-December 2022)
Waking the Tiger by Peter A. Levine (1997): a self-help book with a somatic approach to dealing with trauma symptoms. It contained some advice that was useful at my old job. Unfortunately, I was too traumatized from said job to concentrate properly on the audiobook, so I was kind of in a Catch-22.
The Nineties by Chuck Klosterman (2022): A deliciously disconcerting series of essays about the fractured last decade of the twentieth century. It wins the coveted "book I'm most determined to lend to my mom" award.
Yes, I'm Hot in This by Huda Fahmy (2018): a cute collection of comics from Fahmy's Instagram, covering subjects from strangers being stupid about her hijab (hence the title) to lighthearted scenes of domestic life. I found it in a Little Library.
Unmask Alice by Rick Emerson (2022): an exploration of the life and writing career of Beatrice Sparks, author of multiple "real" diaries by troubled teens, through-and-through grifter, and coiner of the immortal phrase "freak wharf." This fucked, y'all. Emerson seamlessly delves into multiple topics of interest--Sparks's hardscrabble youth, the discovery of LSD, the Satanic Panic--with plenty of compassion and humor.
The Good Nurse by Charles Graeber (2013): the true-crime account of Charles Cullen, a Pennsylvania/New Jersey nurse who murdered possibly hundreds of patients by poisoning their IV bags in the late 1980s to early 2000s. The subject matter is shocking, and it's horrifying how the indifference of the large medical systems he worked for kept him from facing consequences other than getting fired for years. The style/organization of the book is kind of pedestrian, though.
Catch and Kill by Ronan Farrow (2019): an account of Farrow's efforts to write a story for NBC about the decades-long sexual predation of producer Harvey Weinstein, including NBC's sideways attempts to get him to back off. Farrow's a solid narrative writer, not great, and the book gets less interesting when he strays beyond the inner workings of NBC.
Slouching Towards Bethlehem by Joan Didion (1968): In her first collection of essays, Didion talks about murder, movies, mental distress, and Sacramento. It's incredibly fresh in some ways (the essay where she talks about raising her daughter away from her extended family) and incredibly dated in others (her incredulity at people who ascribe artistic vision to Meet Me in St. Louis). I genuinely appreciate her ability to make me go "girl, what are you even talking about."
Solutions and Other Problems by Allie Brosh (2020): an illustrated memoir/series of comics, focusing on coping with mental illness and the unexpected loss of a loved one. There are some very funny passages (particularly one involving a troublesome dog), some devastating ones (Brosh's montage of memories of her late younger sister), and some aimless ones.
Monkey Mind by Daniel Smith (2012): part memoir and part general information about anxiety (the science of it, how different people have written about it through history, etc.). It's more interesting as a memoir. I remember that it had some good advice at the end for managing anxiety, but I don't know for the life of me what it was. Still, I feel like I should give him credit for it.

The Good Nurse (15): "They never stopped me".
#onemannsmovies review of "The Good Nurse" (2022). #GoodNurseFilm. A stunningly chilling Eddie Redmayne is what's worth seeing here. 3.5/5.
A One Mann’s Movies review of “The Good Nurse” (2022). I’m filling in the final part of my jigsaw for the major categories at tonight’s BAFTA awards with this Netflix movie that features a Best Supporting Actor nomination for Eddie Redmayne. And I think it’s a great call by BAFTA, since Redmayne’s performance is fabulous in a quiet and creepy way. Bob the Movie Man Rating(s): Plot…

"O enfermeiro da noite" (the good nurse) - netflix.
Esse filme não chegou aos cinemas. Apesar de dois atores de peso no elenco, Chastain e Redmayne. A história verídica de um enfermeiro que matava pacientes usando medicação, assusta e acaba interessando. Ficou no radar pra ver por algum tempo e ontem chegou seu dia.
depois de ver: a história é assustadora e talvez merecesse uma adaptação mais parruda. aqui temos basicamente dois atores segurando a trama. gosto da opção linear, sem pulos no tempo - que tem sido praxe em histórias como essa.

'The tendency in popular thought to view the biological world in economic terms was present at the nineteenth-century beginnings of Darwinian science.
Charles Darwin, after all, borrowed the term “survival of the fittest” from the sociologist Herbert Spencer, that darling of robber barons. Spencer, in turn, was struck by how much the forces driving natural selection in On the Origin of Species jibed with his own laissez-faire economic theories.
Competition over resources, rational calculation of advantage, and the gradual extinction of the weak were taken to be the prime directives of the universe.'
– David Graeber, What’s the Point If We Can’t Have Fun?
By the way, by contrast, the other great, independent discoverer of Evolution, Alfred Russel Wallace, was a socialist, indeed an anarchist, even if he didn't use the label.
“However, we did not talk of geography during the afternoon we spent together, but of Anarchism, of which [Élisée Reclus] was one of the most convinced advocates, and I was very anxious to ascertain his exact views, which I found were really not very different from my own. We agreed that almost all social evils — all poverty, misery, and crime — were the creation of governments and of bad social systems ; and that under a law of absolute justice, involving equality of opportunity and the best training for all, each local community would organize itself for mutual aid, and no great central governments would be needed, except as they grew up from the voluntary association of their parts for general and national purposes.”
— Alfred Russel Wallace, My life: A Record of Events and Opinions

finally reading 1491 and the fact that the guy is a journalist not an historian keeps pissing me off which i was NOT expecting like i read popular press history books all the time! i’m quite stupid! it shouldn’t be bothering me this much!!! but it’s sooo frustrating i keep mentally comparing it to other books i’ve read w even vaguely adjacent subject matter and it is Simply not doing it for me
#i’m still gonna stick with it like the subject matter Is interesting enough to carry it for sure#but i keep feeling like . charles c mann shut upppppp you don’t have it#you will never be david graeber and david whatsisname the other guy who did the dawn of everything#i get that it’s a broad overview but everything feels rly surface level i want it to go deeper on like every topic it covers :((

ok here are the most important ones (to me)
The Ballad of the Pirate Queens by Anne Yolen
this is a children's book in verse about Anne Bonny and Mary Read. responsible for my pirate obsession
Bloody Jack by LA Meyer
a young adult series about a girl who disguises herself as a boy, goes to sea, and becomes a pirate. these were the best thing ever invented to kid me but I haven't read them in a while so I don't know if they're actually like, good. I liked the atmosphere and the slightly antiquated way it was written. there are gay bits.
A General History of the Robberies and Murders of the most notorious Pyrates: From Their first Rise and Settlement in the Island of Providence to the present Time, with the remarkable Actions and Adventures of the two Female Pyrates Mary Read and Anne Bonny
or A General History of the Pyrates by "Captain Charles Johnson"
A good starting point. a lot of our pirate stories come from this book. it claims to be a true historical record, but I have my doubts. still fun though. I think this guy just wrote down every story he heard about pirates. it has illustrations.
Sodomy and the Pirate Tradition by B.R. Burg
not super historical but it doesn't really claim to be. basically it's just this guy going. "so... pirates fucked, right? like, there's no way they didn't." and then he's correct. I mainly wanted this book as a teenager because I loved the cover and the title but now it's in my brain forever. look at Blackbeard. look at his gay little pose
Pirate Enlightenment or The Real Libertalia by David Graeber
this is the one I'm reading right now and I love it so far. it's about pirates in Madagascar and the real-life version of the pirate utopia from general history of pyrates (it isn't real but it kind of is but not.) I like the writer, he's written other good things. he's obsessed with the enlightenment for some reason but you can easily ignore that.
On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers, which is kind of like a magical realism type thing. I think it's kind of what pirates of the Caribbean is based on. this is where I knew Stede Bonnet from
Liveship Traders by Robin Hobb, three books that are part of a fantasy series. these pirates are dicks to each other a lot but they are gay and their ships are alive.
Lost Boi by Sassafras Lowrey is a queer sort of modern version of Peter Pan. captain hook is in there and he's like a leather guy. not literally pirates, but still.
The Dawnhounds by Sascha Stronach is science fiction with queer pirates, a monkey god, and mushroom houses.
#iumblr#our flag means death#queer#pirate#if you have a library#you can go on their website and look up all the books with the subject “pirates” and read those.#Project Gutenberg is good for old books#and then another weird thing I do is#go to theanarchistarchive.org and search for pirates there#sometimes there are interesting things#ancient texts old articles fun ramblings#if you run out of books the queen anne's revenge archeology website is cool#and the pirate surgeon website#reference

WELCOME BACK MAGGIE! 12 17 and 21
HI SYDNEY I MISSED YOU
12. I already answered this one from Jojo, so here are 5 other books that were very difficult for me to cut from my top 5!: Dangerous Liaisons- Choderlos De Laclos, The Poisoner’s Handbook- Deborah Blum, Right Wing Women- Andrea Dworkin, All That You See Here is God: New Versions of Four Greek Tragedies- Brian Doerries, Bullshit Jobs- David Graeber
17. Did any books surprise you with how good they were? Well, I haven't finished it yet, but I'm still working through Moby Dick (via Whale Weekly) and it's really good. I went into it already a bit familiar, but it really is better than you would expect as long as you're not expecting something straightforward and adventurous. Like Charles Dickens, it's best read aloud.
21. Did you participate in any booklr, booktube, or book twitter drama? Participate? Absolutely not. I'm aware of some of it, like the current Cait Corran thing because one of my mutuals keeps up with booktok and sundry. I do also follow withcindy on youtube. I'm strictly a lurk and judge type of person.
