Play for Today: Clay, Smeddum and Greenden (BBC, 1976)
"What ails you?"
"Ails her? You would greet yourself if you saw your life ruined."
"Well, I'm right sorry you're taking it like that. But, losh, it's a small thing to greet over."

Joan Fontaine in Ivy (Sam Wood, 1947)
Cast: Joan Fontaine, Patric Knowles, Herbert Marshall, Richard Ney, Cedric Hardwicke, Lucile Watson, Sara Allgood, Henry Stephenson, Rosalind Ivan, Lilian Fontaine, Molly Lamont, Una O'Connor, Isobel Elsom, Alan Napier. Screenplay: Charles Bennett, based on a novel by Marie Belloc Lowndes. Cinematography: Russell Metty. Art direction: Richard H. Riedel. Film editing: Ralph Dawson. Music: Daniele Amfitheatrof.
Ivy is a fair-to-middling melodrama made memorable by its production design and cinematography, which evokes Edwardian London as a place of contrasts, from the ornately affluent milieu to which Ivy (Joan Fontaine) aspires to the sparse and gloomy world which she tries to escape. Russell Metty's images are filled with shadows and Expressionist angles even when they're showing us the gilded life of the privileged classes. The nominal art director is Richard H. Riedel, but he was working for a producer better known today as a production designer, William Cameron Menzies. Ivy is stuck in a marriage to the feckless Jervis Lexton (Richard Ney) but is carrying on an affair with a doctor, Roger Gretorex (Patric Knowles), who has chosen to work among the city's poor. So when she catches the eye of the wealthy Miles Rushworth (Herbert Marshall), she sees the chance to make it big if she can escape from her current entanglements. The doctor has poisons in his lab, so the rest is obvious. But Ivy has the bad luck to run up against one of those impossibly intuitive Scotland Yard detectives (Cedric Hardwicke), who manages to riddle through the motives, means, and opportunity, and to do so at a crucial moment. Director Sam Wood isn't very skilled at building suspense, preferring to let the screenplay do it on its own, so Ivy doesn't have the tension and snap that it needs. The story comes from a novel by Marie Belloc Lowndes, who is better known as the author of The Lodger, which helped Alfred Hitchcock make his name when he filmed it as a silent in 1927 and gave Laird Cregar a memorable role in John Brahm's 1944 film. Ivy, unfortunately, isn't in the league of either of those films.

Former child actor Spencer Breslin released a 2012 album recorded by Gary Olsen of Elephant 6 fame and featuring Kevin Barker (Joanna Newsom, Vetiver, and Antony and the Johnsons), Isobel Knowles (Architecture in Helsinki), Kyle Forester (Crystal Stilts), and Eric Farber (Ladybug Transistor) (yes, I cut and pasted the wikipedia page for this album). If you like landfill indie music of the last decade and Disney films of the decade before that, this is your lucky day! The album also features a spoken word cameo from Jesse Eisenberg.

MEGAN THEE STALLION FT. BEYONCé - SAVAGE REMIX
[8.20]
Emphasis on the "classic"...
Tobi Tella: 2020 BB (Before B): Loose, playful, and catchy in all the right ways; reappropriation by 14 year olds on TikTok shouldn't count against a song's value. 2020 ABB (After Big B): Still in shock, probably the peak of music. I'm tempted to move to Houston right now. [9]
Thomas Inskeep: Last month I said that the original version of "Savage" "commit[s] murder," and then Beyoncé came on board? I don't care who wrote her verses, because I love love love when Mrs. Carter raps -- she has flow. That said, Megan has even more flow; she's fast becoming a superstar (in part) because she deserves to be a superstar. The simple beat of "Savage" complements both Megan and Beyoncé's lines just so, and in their hands this becomes an awesome tribute to H-Town (the city, not, well, H-Town). Savage indeed. [9]
Wayne Weizhen Zhang: The mere existence of this article and this tweet alone merits this remix at least a [7]. [7]
Leah Isobel: Beyoncé said sex worker rights. [9]
Alex Clifton: Megan brings enough swagger to kill a horse, and Beyoncé is her usual grand self -- she doesn't even need to bring the swagger when her name is goddamn Beyoncé Knowles Carter. To score a Beyoncé feature before dropping your first real album is quite the accomplishment, and she's great here, turning the volume up to 11 and keeping time with Megan's rap game quite easily. I've listened to both versions at least fifteen times, and I'm still very much into it. Hell, I've tried to learn the TikTok dance for this, which is difficult as I normally dance like Lorde. (The only bit I can consistently get right is the hands on my head "acting stupid" movement.) A weird-ass quarantine meme to be sure, but it's the kind of fun I need right now. [8]
Alfred Soto: An excuse, no more or less, for a demonstration of above average rapping given by a charming outsized personality. Beyoncé, who contributes nothing of note, acknowledges the prowess on display. [7]
Nortey Dowuona: Beyoncé smoothly glides into the jump rope synths and Pringle can drums mixed in.... {here the writer trails off to watch Bey jump to fit her jeans on}. Megan keeps leaping back and forth with Bey while Bey just loops around each fiber and lifts Megan into the heavens with each priceless trill and vocal fill. [10]
Jacob Sujin Kuppermann: Every time Beyoncé raps we are given to speculate as to her skill -- is she better than her duet partners? Her husband? Migos? These discussions miss the point entirely -- Beyoncé's goal while rapping is not to be good at rap but to be good at being Beyoncé, to envelop the rest of the track with her energy. On "Savage," she does this with tactical excellence: she's here at least three times, chiming in with verses in different styles and adlibs throughout. Part of the appeal, of course, is hearing Bey, who has mostly been playing towards timeless legacy and high art, reference OnlyFans and Demon Time. But even beyond that incongruity she still sounds commanding. And yet the "Savage" remix isn't as triumphant as it could be. The song, once a spare exercise in Megan's charisma, feels overstuffed as a duet. It's fun, but it feels a little too mandatory to be that fun. [7]
Will Adams: The original's charm was its simplicity: just an A+ hook with knocking bass and two clustered chromatic chords. Sacrificing an ounce of that in favor of additional elements would seem egregious were it done by anyone other than Beyoncé. She's in classic form on this remix, so full of ideas -- a cooed "okay!" hook; memorable lines by the dozen -- and more than adept at deploying them. That means there are some misses -- the melodic contributions, in particular, clash at times -- but overall this is a top entry for Song of the Summer That Never Was. [7]
Nina Lea: Even in these dark times, nothing gets a girl going like the first real contender for Song of the Summer. Megan Thee Stallion and Beyoncé have given us a dream collab, the kind of fantasy pairing that makes sense on such a fundamental level that it feels like the goddess on high cracked open the skies to drop this track into our laps. The original "Savage" was catchy, punchy, and viral, but the reworking propels it to another stratosphere. Beyoncé sounds like she's having the time of her life, tossing in winking references to Tik Tok, Demon Time and OnlyFans, shouting out her mother, and floating sweet harmonies over everything. Fellow Texan Megan Thee Stallion's new verses prove that she can hold her own. We might be heading into Our Pandemic Summer, but that doesn't mean it can't be Hot Girl Summer 2.0 at the same time. [9]
