by Jacob Leeming | Paul encourages Timothy, primarily, in two ways. First, he reminds Timothy that God has not given His ministers a spirit of timidity or cowardice (v. 7), but rather has furnished them with the potent and effective tools of power, love, and self-discipline. Timothy, therefore, should be unashamed of the “witness about our Lord,” or of…

Upcoming Biopics 2024: 10 Movies to Look Forward To

Ever since Oppenheimer and Bob Marley: One Love has taken over the cinematic scene, it’s clear that no one can pass up on a good ole biopic. If you love biopics just as much as the next person, then you’ll be ecstatic to know that 10 famous biopics are coming your way. 1. James Baldwin's Biopic The writer who wrote to revolutionize, James Baldwin, is a figure that can’t be forgotten. Billy Porter will take the role of the human rights activist in the upcoming untitled James Baldwin biopic; the adaptation of the 1944 novel, James Baldwin: A Biography by David Leeming. 2. Linda Ronstadt's Biopic Linda Ronstadt, probably one of the most iconic and impactful female singers of the 1970s, will have her biopic moment. What’s amazing is that Selena Gomez will be portraying the 11-Grammy-award-winning singer in the Linda Ronstadt biopic. 3. Donald Trump's Biopic For Donald Trump, climbing up the ladder of politics, as a businessman, was surprising along every curve. Sebastian Stan will play the role of the businessman-turned-president in The Apprentice, with a release of May 20th, 2024, the anticipated Donald Trump biopic. 4. Michael Jackson's Biopic   If the fact that there’s a biopic on the King of Pop coming to screens is not thrilling enough, then how about the fact that Michael Jackson’s nephew, Jaafar Jackson, is starring, as the legendary moon-walker himself? Michael is coming to rule the cinema in 2025 with the Michael Jackson biopic. 5. Elon Musk's Biopic Although not much has surfaced about the biopic of 2024’s wealthiest man alive, it’s safe to say that the Oscar-winning director for the movie Black Swan, Darren Aronofsky, will work his magic, faster than you can say “X”. The Elon Musk biopic is highly anticipated. 6. Fred Astaire's Biopic Tom Holland is swapping his red bodysuit for dancing shoes, as he will star as the actor and dancer with moves more fluid than water, Fred Astaire. Details about the Fred Astaire biopic are still under wraps. 7. Bob Dylan's Biopic Timothée Chalamet is donning 60’s outfits, to grace the silver screens with his role as the Shakespeare of 1960s music. A Complete Unknown, a biopic based on not only the life but the impact and uprising of Bob Dylan, will be a treat for all senses in the upcoming Bob Dylan biopic. 8. The Beatles' Biopic Even if you weren’t born in the 60’s, The Beatles is not a foreign name. Hailed as the best pop music band, Director Sam Mendes is coming out with not just one, but four biopics, each focusing on John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. The Beatles biopic is one to watch out for. 9. Carole King's Biopic Carole King, the woman with a soulful voice and a contagious smile, will take her spot on the biopic list. Daisy Edgar-Jones will star in Beautiful, a musical biopic on the 20th-century singer-songwriter, making the Carole King biopic highly anticipated. 10. Maria Callas' Biopic Angelina Jolie is starring as the renowned opera singer Maria Callas in Maria. It’s going to be an emotion-packed ride, based on the 1970s singer’s controversial life and hiccups, making the Maria Callas biopic a must-watch. Whether it’s entrepreneurs’ lives or the journey of your favorite music band, these upcoming biopics will knock you off your feet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88Bq3r-9kog Read the full article

Hatchetfield and Mythology

I’ve been drawn back to mythology and its tropes lately so here’s some analysis to the best of my ability.

Webby most likely falls into the mythological archetype of the Mother Goddess. She’s a provider and is responsible for keeping the world in order. As with some great goddesses, she’s able to bring about destruction (requiring the deaths of those with a touch of the gift) in order to protect Hatchetfield from dark forces (her brothers’ servants). In a way, it’s quite reminiscent of the usual theme of death as a means of bringing about rebirth. It may even be why things in the Witchwood grow differently and exponentially.

It’s pretty obvious that the LiBs are of the Lords of Destruction archetype. Such gods are also linked to wealth and greed, and are not known to let go of souls easily. Except perhaps Wiggly, who seems to have let Nibbly have Linda in one timeline. And I suppose Pokey, Blinky, and Tinky aren’t so open to granting wealth.

I'm probably the only one who sees it this way but, I believe that the brother Webby said was the trickiest, was Tinky. I feel like Tinky is what fits the description of a trickster god, besides being a Lord of Destruction archetype. He appears to fit David Leeming’s description of a trickster god. Tinky is “wise and foolish,” possibly promiscuous, seems to be amoral, acts outrageously, and is in animal form as most tricksters are. He’s also “profoundly inventive” and “creative by nature.” I say this because he’s literally called the Bastard of Time and Space and the Weaver of Impossibilities. It takes quite an amount of smarts, cleverness, and creativity to manipulate time the way he does. Sometimes a trickster can be seen as a helper of humanity and come to think of it, if Ted played his cards right, he would’ve gotten that dream timeline where Jenny lived, and Miss Holloway uses spells related to Tinky in order to help others.

The song “The Witch in the Web” is oral tradition. In ancient times, songs were how myths and stories were passed on through generations. Webby passing down this song to Hannah is not unlike how the Greeks would say they were inspired by the Muses to tell the stories of heroes and history, it’s not unlike how Biblical authors would say they were inspired by the Holy Spirit to write books.

Now that I read up on it again, Witch in the Web and Yellow Jacket do fit Joseph Campbell’s “Hero’s Journey” for Hannah. (what makes it even more interesting is that one of the stages in the journey is literally called “apotheosis”) So apparently, Hannah’s got a monomyth going on.

Paul surprisingly lacks a good amount of stages in the Hero’s Journey, but that’s alright. I think he fits the Greek mythology standard of being a hero instead. He’s not blessed with exceptional skills, he doesn’t have much motivation, he’s kinda an asshole. But his being average and hatred of musicals is highlighted as the trait which is exactly what is needed to fight back the apotheosis. And sure, he fails, but he did his best, and that’s why it becomes a story worth telling, or singing, as is the case for the Infected.

In addition to that, the opening song itself is very reminiscent to how Greek epics would start with “Sing, O Muse, the story of...” Even the lines in the first stanza are a reflection of the significance of oral tradition in human culture. Hence, Paul’s story is intended to also become oral tradition even though what’s left of earth isn’t human.

Moving on, a good amount of stuff from the Hatchetfield stories are common to other world mythologies:

The Hatchetfield Ape-Man doesn’t just reference Bigfoot, because there are a lot of versions of large humanoid apes around the world. (i.e. the Himalayan Yeti, the Indonesian Orang Pendek, the Cambodian Tek Tek)

Willabella Muckwab is the Witch/Old Hag trope. Bonus points for the fact that she resided in Nightmare Time when hags usually did refer to “magical old women who are responsible for giving people bad dreams”

Trees are also often used to contain the cosmos in mythology, such as the Norse Yggdrasil and the Hindu Aswatha/Bodhi tree. They are also used to reflect personal transformation, like in the Daphne myth and the Vietnamese myth of Tun, Lung, and Tao. Both of these aspects of mythological trees are applicable to the Witchwood treeple. The Hatchetmen's ritual of turning them into the trees, to form Webby's protective net, which Hannah says represents the world, satisfies all that.

On the topic of trees, Yggdrasil had a squirrel that travels from the eagle and hawk on top, down to the dragon at the bottom, to deliver insults between them. So is that what Peanuts, the sentient pocket squirrel, is like? And would the eagle be McNamara, making Wiley the dragon?

There are various items that serve as artifacts, the Bastard’s Box as an evil artifact, Hannah’s ukelele as a magical weapon, the dagger in the Black Book as an ancient weapon, and I am still convinced that the Hatchet-Men’s hatchets are special artifacts as well.

True love also carries great power in Hatchetfield, as McNamara says. Though it is leaning more towards familial love. Lex and Hannah and Bill and Alice are the best examples of this because both pairs manage to defeat two LiBs. As for romantic love, I’d say Holloduke surpasses Paulkins in that Miss Holloway does keep finding Duke and Duke keeps remembering her in his heart even if the Deal wipes his memories away. Every time, Miss Holloway knows and feels that Duke loves her because that’s something even the gods cannot mess with. Whereas Paulkins needs more to get to that level.

Bringing Webby back up again, spider ladies are also quite common throughout mythology, such as Arachne. But an interesting one is the Japanese Jorogumo who is a ghost woman who shapeshifts into a spider and has the ability to manipulate dreams. Much like how Webby can manipulate what visions can get to Hannah.

That’s all I’ve got for now, but I’ll try to make another post if I’m to add on to this.
