Top Ten Tuesday: Bodice Rippers

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Every Tuesday, a new topic is assigned from the schedule below. Then, you take that topic and fly free with it. You can do as little or as much as you want to (I have…

Fall(ing) for Films

While rewatching some of my fave series, I haven't forgotten that autumn often has some great film releases (some in time for awards season) and in addition to some recently released films (We Live In Time with Andrew Garfield & Florence Pugh; Here with Tom Hanks and Robin Wright; Conclave with Ralph Fiennes, etc) , a bunch more are in the queue.

Under the cut are listed several upcoming films viewers may want to see...

Bird with Academy Award nominee Barry Keoghan among the cast.

Small Things Like These includes Cillian Murphy, Emily Watson, and Eileen Walsh.

Albany Road with Renee Elise Goldsberry, Lynn Whitfield, and J. Alphonse Nicholson.

Red One features Dwayne Johnson, Lucy Liu, Chris Evans, and the ever hard working supporting actor, J.K. Simmons.

Gladiator II has been getting a lot of press for its cast featuring Pedro Pascal, Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington, and yet another much lauded stage and screen thespian, Sir Derek Jacobi.

Wicked. Pictured above, Cynthia Erivo headlines this much anticipated pic along with Ariana Grande and Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh.

Another film set for limited release in November is the Jesse Eisenberg directed A Real Pain. Eisenberg also stars in the film, along with Kieran Culkin, Will Sharpe, and Jennifer Grey. It's been getting some positive buzz, so here's hoping it will eventually open up in more places.

December has several upcoming films as well.

Oh Canada featuring Richard Gere and Uma Thurman.

The Order cast includes Jude Law and Nicholas Hoult.

The Return pairs Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche as Odysseus and Penelope.

In addition, there are some heavy hitters internationally but I'll save that for another time as awards season nears.

'On October 30, 1938, Orson Welles (who would go on to write, direct and star in Citizen Kane, one of the greatest movies of all time) narrated a radio adaptation of H.G. Wells’ classic Martian-invasion novel, The War of the Worlds. The only problem was, Welles was a little too effective, a little too scary with his narration. The CBS Radio Network, a mainstay of American entertainment back then, received panic-stricken phone calls nonstop, from viewers who actually believed Martians had invaded our planet. A Midwestern sheriff wanted to pursue legal action against CBS because half his town had started running amok in the streets. It goes to show just how impactful a good radio dramatisation can be.

I was reminded of this little slice of radio history while listening to Audible’s superlative new adaptation of George Orwell’s dystopian novel1984. Written by Joe Wright, the adaptation features an original score co-written by Muse singer and lead guitarist Matthew Bellamy and composer Ilan Eshkeri, and performed by the London Metropolitan Orchestra. The all-star cast is led by Andrew Garfield and Cynthia Erivo as Winston and Julia, respectively, the young lovers whose relationship is also an act of rebellion against the all-seeing Big Brother and ‘the Party’. Andrew Scott (seen most recently in Netflix’s miniseries Ripley) is smooth and terrifying as Mr. O’Brien, Winston’s Party colleague who he suspects is secretly a part of the rebellious ‘Brotherhood’. And the inimitable Tom Hardy pitches in with a flawless cameo as the voice of Big Brother himself. The whole thing, at 200-odd minutes, is split up into seven parts.

Two things you’ll notice immediately about this adaptation — it is intensely cinematic and it takes considerable liberties with Orwell’s text. For example, Big Brother watching all of his citizens courtesy omnipresent TV screens is described as “surveillance” (a decidedly contemporary word) throughout by Garfield’s Winston. Generally speaking, the text is condensed in a way that minimises ‘third-party’ lines such as portions of police files, newspaper clippings, extracts from fictional texts and so on. The reason this works so well for this adaptation is because of the first point I mentioned: its intensely cinematic nature, thanks to Bellamy and Eshkeri’s superb original score. In almost every chapter, the score begins on an ambient, orchestral note and it keeps the sense of urgency rising with every minute, until the last one-third of every chapter signals paranoia and despair with every note of the music.

But really, this 1984 depends largely on the star power and stellar work put in by its A-list cast. Erivo, especially, is a revelation as Julia. Although I was familiar with her recent record on TV (HBO’s The Outsider is one of her home runs), this was the first time I heard her doing voice work, and she is incredible. The romance and lovemaking scenes between her and Garfield maintain a sense of fragility that is paramount to Orwell’s text.

Garfield’s big moments typically happen at the end of every chapter, when Winston is usually second-guessing the motives of Julia or his friends and colleagues, wondering whether one of them is secretly a part of the dreaded ‘Thought Police’. When he watches O’Brien during a public gathering, for instance, Winston swings wildly between pegging O’Brien as a member of the Brotherhood — and the polar opposite, his ‘day job’ as a member of the Party’s inner circles. See how the dialogue reflects this boomerang motion — Garfield’s work is cut out for him here and he expertly steers the audience between hope and hopelessness.

“I caught O’Brien’s eye. Just for a fraction of a second, but it was long enough to know. Yes, I know now O’Brien was thinking the same thing as me. I’m on your side, Winston. And just like that, it was gone. O’Brien’s face was as inscrutable as ever. Such a fleeting moment that I questioned whether it happened at all. But I know it did. And it keeps alive in me the hope that it isn��t just me…”

As the passage above shows, this is Orwell reimagined through contemporary, Netflix-era snappy dialogue. Purists might take exception to the wholesale cull of the original Orwell lines but for the purposes of a radio adaptation, I found the abridged version to be just right.

Audible’s 1984 provides a great starting point to this 20th century classic for beginners. I am quite sure that a significant portion of these listeners will go back and visit (or revisit, as the case may be) the original novel to expand their horizons.'

Though, a year later irreplaceable pieces of the tower would begin being sold??? Then the new scamming owner privately looking to sell it for 4 mil??

She claimed to want to restore it but, it seems she just wanted to strip it and resell? And her history isn’t great when it comes to…not scamming?

Any thoughts? The tower is gorg and designed by Frank Loyd Wright(his only skyscraper) Selling it for 10 bucks was dumb af in general.
