WARNING: A LOT ABOUT HER BACKSTORY HAS CHANGED. in the absence of candy girl and dead!lux, i had to find a new way to fuck her life up. it’s what she deserves.

QUICK STATS !

FULL NAME: Alina Alessia Aldi Alice Audrey Alder NICKNAMES: Al, Ali DOB: September 17th, 1965 ZODIAC BIG THREE: Virgo sun, Pisces moon, Libra rising GENDER & PRONOUNS: Cis woman & she/her SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Home of sexual EDUCATION: High-school diploma ; one year of college ENNEAGRAM: 2w3 MBTI: ENFJ TEMPERAMENT: Sanguine-Melancholic MORAL ALIGNMENT: True Neutral JOB: History Museum Receptionist ( ex-MILF Kamilla... omg ) MAJOR: Philosophy

BACKSTORY !

triggers: brief mention of homophobia, idk televangelist mom sucks but i do not believe i wrote anything trigger-worthy, DRUGS. EVEN MORE SO THAN LAST TIME., very briefly implied sex work, implied OD

UPDATE: give me a sec to figure out how her aunt came into the picture when she was also in Sicily... give me a sec... but everything still remains!

Annabelle Alder has always preceded herself. With numbers to rival Tammy Faye Bakker’s, you don’t have to care about televangelism to have heard of her anyway. And what an honor it is! That the Georgia-based televangelist would choose Cherry to broadcast! Oh, California was a much better place for it, yes yes... But L.A. is so fast-paced!

-- Of course, she was not actually Georgia-based. Coming from Italy to leave a relationship that will be briefly described below -- and to start her career! -- she legally changed her name and Alice’s name to something more... American.

ANYWAY, much like every good televangelist, Alessandra Aldi’s scandals were prompted only by her words... save for how her child, Alice, came to be. She would tell reporters that her father succumbed to a long, difficult illness; she would tell those in her social circle that he left the two high and dry. She would tell no one -- yes, it would take great sleuthing -- the truth: Alice had been the result of a short-lived toxic relationship that she left. No marriage!

'Not knowing’ would become a constant in Alice’s life -- and that would lead to several poor decisions. The lies Annabelle Alder spouted did nothing to help the health of the household. What separated truth from fiction? At a point, Alice didn’t know if even Anne knew. She would bring it home, these rantings and ravings, and the confusion and stress would grow. Two women in a household ruled by one thing they would always share: not knowing.

Alice, however, managed to entertain many a friendship. To compare herself in those days to what she became, she was all but a Mary Sue! Sociable, smart, loyal... if a bit clingy to some of them (see: Lux Lewis... basically her very own Needy Lesnicki) -- she was a good kid. She followed her mother’s teachings, as blurred as they were with what she would say at home (God loves everyone, God hates everyone; put your trust in God, put your fear in God), and came to develop that open-minded Tammy Faye spin.

She and Lux had always been close, but they managed to grow closer... or, perhaps, close -- in a different way. For nearly two years, they would rendezvous -- use the darkness to cloak a different type of love.

For her standing’s sake, Alice accepted the term that Lux would continue to date boys... though there always seemed to be a feel for air quotes surrounding the word ‘date.’ Anyway, y’all know this story.

Things ended only when Lux could no longer take discount Tammy Faye’s rantings and ravings. And maybe Alice’s simping was a factor too, but mainly discount Tammy Faye. They broke it off... but with a smile.

-- A fake smile, apparently. The Wonderland Ball saw Alice being bullied like Pennywise in It: Chapter Two. Lux’s side crew of friends going after everything from her simping to her sexuality (because these are NPCs in a backstory that takes place in the ‘80s...) to her mother’s career to her accent -- so on and so forth. Everything that could be touched on was touched on!

It was all enough to prompt Alice to distance herself. From her mother, from Lux, and, inadvertently, from the Gang... Not enough for her to say she didn’t consider the Gang her friends anymore, but enough for her to seek out a new social circle. People who really didn’t give a fuck. The slackers! The metal heads! Not her normal speed, but they were nice...

Her mother had not noticed the change in their... closeness up until Alice’s grades slipped... from an A+ in math to an A! Omg! Less than perfect, ring the alarms!

And what poor timing, too! It was just as the rumor that Lux was a lesbian was pinned on her, just as her social ousting was beginning, that they had their very first larger-than-life confrontation.

Absolute nonsense from both parties. Perfectly pointed from discount Tammy Faye, and... alright insults from Alice ( see, it was pretty much her first time being a bitch, so... ). It was so perfectly ridiculous that two things Tammy Faye Anne hurled at her were enough to drive her to her aunt: first, some homophobic bullshit. then, a comparison to her father -- her origin story!

Her aunt, Angela Alder ( known by all of her past rockstar affairs as “Indigo” -- save for Mick Jagger, so she would say... claim that he and Keith Richards wrote ‘Angie’ about her ), had settled in Cherry so few years ago after her life of wandering was over with. Partly to continue her life in California, partly to totally oppose her sister’s energy. And she was happy to take Alice in! At first! But we’ll get to that!

After this, Alice figured... ‘fuck it! hey, slackers, I’ll join your world!’ It seemed slow at first, but the taste of freedom? Before she knew it, she was properly in the ‘80s! She had snorted her first line of cocaine! Wow, how had she not already tried that? Absolutely insane! So fun!

Despite the latter half of the school year being rather tumultuous -- socially, familial, and now health -- she still managed to graduate with high marks. Most of it was certainly credit to the former half bleeding over, but...

Now that she was on her way to CCU, why spend time preparing for it? It had been easy as fuck to get into -- why waste that summer? Her aunt offered her a part-time summer job at the Cineplex, so of course she agreed! There were so many reasons she needed that! Like, first and foremost, she needed money. Second, she got to be a nepo baby! Third, it would certainly help her fuel her habit... but we’ll get to that.

Before we get to that, July of ‘84 marked the true beginning of her descent. A night with some guy (no, not like that), there was a fatal mix-up. What she snorted was, decidedly, not cocaine.

*’Carmen’ MV vc*: How does meth change our brains?

It was intense. It was euphoric. It was long. And it drove her to take advantage of her aunt’s generosity, stealing from the register. At first, she received a slap on the hand -- she’s a nepo baby! Second strike came with a demotion that didn’t place her near the cash register... but of course she still found a way. Third strike, she was a goner.

Alright... well, the high is long as fuck -- sleep barely exists! Money can be made at night if you know the right places! Or if you walk far enough! Just head over to Grape...

Suffice it to say, Alice did not make many wise decisions that summer.

Did she still technically go to college? Yes. Was she still technically present in class? ...Sometimes. Was it completely out of character for there to be days she skipped over? Absolutely!

Soon, she was speed-balling. Soon, she was being forced into reality by her aunt -- if she would not take recovery seriously, she had to face the consequences and... leave. Soon, she was getting even further out of touch with the Gang. Soon, she would go to her mother’s for no reason but to spar. A few literal blows later...

Maybe she really was like whoever her father was. She sure was toxic enough!

Relationships were dying out quickly. There were ebbs and flows -- days she tried to ‘be clean’ (the concept of developing meth mouth really helped...), days she gave up. And no near-death experience was doing much to deter her. After all, what was there to lose? She hated it. Oh, she hated it. She hated what she had become. But she had gotten herself into that toxic relationship and, unlike her mother, she could not just leave.

Well... you know how the story goes? Someone almost dies, finds Christ, and turns their life around? The same thing happened... the only difference being that she did not find Christ, she heard: “you are your own God.” and would later learn that such a concept was all but the thesis statement of Satanism. It was not a religion based around drinking a virgin’s blood and sacrificing a baby, as her mother had shared with the world. It wasn’t a religion at all.

But something about that message -- something about the emphasis on how a person should celebrate themself -- caused Alice to brave recovery, first steps led by Angie.

The summer was spent tumultuously, to say the very least. Recovery was a bitch, and going back was so damn easy! But... she found a band-aid solution. She still craved the sweet release of death, but a little less!

Although still awful, a combination of lower dose addy and oxy? ...At least it isn’t meth and heroin?

Anyway, the job that had opened up at the museum ( with past-MILF Kamilla who May does still simp for ) was about the only one she found that: 1) looked even remotely interesting, and 2) ...accepted her.

Rolling the boulder up that hill, her presence... if nothing else, exists. During torture sessions by the LDB, she wouldn’t be completely out of it! Wow! But improvements are to be made... The eagle must soar again!

And is May nice enough to do that or is she gonna fuck things up again? As my favorite show, ‘Hollywoo Stars and Celebs: What Do They Know? Do They Know Things? Let’s Find Out!’ would say: Let’s find out!

TL ; DR!

DRUGS TW. IMPLIED OD TW. Alice’s mom is a discount Italian Tammy Faye who fr moved to America and changed their names for no reason other than making them more American. Preceding her career, she was in a relationship with some toxic dude who got her knocked up and she ran off. Lies to everyone and says Alice’s father died/left them. Alice must be perfect. Alice gets in her relationship with Lux, homophobic Tammy Faye’s rantings and ravings drive Lux away. Alice deflates, a la Pennywise, at the Wonderland Dance when Lux’s friends are absolute bitches to her. Distances herself from Lux and mom, but not the Gang yet. Hangs out with some slacker metalheads. Rumor getting pinned on her that ousts her from the social world turns her completely to the slackers and she says ‘cocaine cocaine cocaine!’ Big Earth-shattering fight w mom, leaves and lives with aunt who was a groupie. Accidentally tries meth one night and gets hooked. Starts speed-balling it with heroin. Steals from her aunt’s cash register. Her aunt eventually has enough of her not taking recovery into consideration and Alice is audi. Alexa play ‘Carmen’ by Lana Del Rey. Somehow passes school. Friendships are dying and she hates herself but the drugs... Has close calls. Does nothing. Has one close call and she managed to find Satanism through it (see: the philosophy). Satanic Panic + mom had her under the assumption that Satanists sacrificed babies, but nah, it’s just ‘be your own god.’ Goes through recovery which is a bitch. Doesn’t fully work though. Off heroin + meth, but her band-aid solution is oxy + addy. Speedball Lite™. Trying to function now. Trying to rebuild shit. The end!

HEADCANONS !

Possesses dual citizenship in the United States and Italy. And, on that note? Fluent in Italian (namely Sicilian) and English.

( DRUGS TW ) ...Please don’t ask me how she didn’t get Meth Mouth after almost a year when some people get it after like a month... it just scares me... I’m too obsessed with keeping my teeth clean... Suspension of disbelief? Dentures? You choose! She did have that slight aging side effect, but it’s been. going down, to say the last. ( Lmao we can say there was some hair loss though -- no full bald spots or anything, but you get it! Same with skin -- nothing drastic, but you get it! Mainly because there’s this thing called an FC- ) ( END DRUGS TW ) Yes, the only full one being portrayed by her FC is the premature aging.

Danzig is her favorite band, but, in a few years, she’ll be saying that the man himself can fuck right off.

Also a Billy Idol bitch. Also a Pantera bitch. You know, just the vibes.

TOOOOOOTTTTALLLLLLL PINK FLOYD BITCH!!! hates that Roger left the band he was the last great mind!

The Final Cut was released only two years ago in this timeline omg do you know how exciting that is for me, another Pink Floyd bitch who has seen Roger twice in concert?

I mean, very few people say they’re a Satanist, and even fewer people said it during the Satanic Panic since all it took was an accusation to get you imprisoned for decades, but ‘close’ friends... they might not know know, but they know. That was the reason she selected Philosophy as her major, after all!

Grades during her Freshman year at CCU sucked -- something that has never happened before! But what else would you expect? That said, she is trying to get back into the habit of being a decent student... but that’s easier said than done, especially in her. state.

( DRUGS TW ) It was pretty hard to hide her hardcore speed-balling -- even if she didn’t have meth mouth, there was the jonesing! -- but it’s more of an open secret that she’s switched to... soft speed-balling. Two steps backwards, one step forward.( END DRUGS TW )

( MENTAL ILLNESS MENTION TW ) Oh, btw, her family totally runs rampant with mental illness. There’s definitely a reason Annabelle has no clue what the fuck she’s talking about half the time. Then there’s the father she doesn’t know, but was definitely an addict with some violent tendencies. Angie is the sanest one, and she was a groupie! ( MENTAL ILLNESS MENTION TW )

After abusing such highly addictive drugs for as long as she did, there have been some long-term psychological effects. I mean, brain damage is a legit thing! But I added this here at 4:00am so I’ll expand tomorrow.

If Lana Del Rey existed in the ‘80s? She’d love that bitch. Methamphetamines... pink flamingo... blue ‘50s queen... blue oyster cove... So true of her!

Living arrangement is being sorted out, as was her previous living arrangement when she was briefly not allowed to live under Angie’s roof in the hopes of a wakeup call ( that just backfired ). In any case? Using taking care of a cactus to hold herself accountable for something.

Has a light Italian lilt from spending early years of her childhood in Sicily + living under her Sicilian mother’s roof for so long. Of course, discount Tammy Faye was good at putting on an American accent during broadcasts, but it got exhausting at home.

Oh lmao I put this as part of the questions/answers we sent to Em and I think it’s so funny: January definitely had a rumor that she was sleeping with the Nightstalker.

Alice will probably never know her father, but his FC? ...Danny Devito.

There are three different links in the following sentence: This was Alice.

More to come as I navigate this brave new world...!

NEW CONNECTION IDEAS !

ACCOUNTABILITY BUDDY ! She’s not sober -- not even close -- but she’s functioning. And functioning means getting back to the responsibilities she once had... such as being a decent student and getting to work on time. This person is that to her... a tutor, more or less, as her brain gets its cells back -- and someone who reminds her to set a damn alarm and to actually get out of bed when she hears the damn alarm and- (And, I mean, this is also completely legit considering brain damage is involved...)

ABSOLUTE THROES ! Kinda left a lot of stuff for the Gang out when I started going into her worsening addiction for a reason -- to plot what was happening with everyone at that point. Anyway, would love for someone to have seen her in the absolute throes and been like ‘damn this is getting more fucked up than 1998/9 -- oh, what’s ‘99?’

AND SHE. FUCKED. GREG ! MAY WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS CONNECTION ! ( sex work tw ) Anyone who has a parent or parental figure who’s... sleazy, to say the least? Who might go to Grape every now and again? Who might solicit the services of an 18-19 (?) y/o looking for a way to get money for her next fix? (Despite her sexuality, she would not have turned a man down.) ...Alice isn’t proud of it!

MORE TO COME ! those were fr just the first that came to mind...

Brief Review of Every Dinosaur/Prehistoric Documentary/Educational Short I’ve ever seen (1923-1996).

And thanks to a certain project, I’ve seen a LOT!

Evolution (1923) - This is the oldest of the bunch, a silent film. Mostly it uses modern animals to represent ancient forms, with a few statues and brief animated bits to fill things out. The only real highlight? Seeing where some of the “film real” segment from Gigantis the Fire Monster comes from!

Monsters from the Past (1923) - A short documentary with original stop motion (this was pre-The Lost World, so that’s to be expected). Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus, and Brontosaurus are the key creatures. Included as an extra on the second DVD release of The Lost World.

Prehistoric Animals (1938) - Reuses footage from The Lost World (1925) for its prehistoric segments. This will not be the last time it happens.

Prehistoric Times: The World Before Man (1952) - This thing is so quintessentially 1950s, it’s highly riff-able. It uses a mix of paintings, sculptures and some live animals to represent prehistoric life.

A World Is Born (1955) - Ya know what Fantasia needed? Overbearing Narration! That’s it. That’s what this documentary is. I saw this thing rebroadcast in the 90s on the Disney Channel, believe it or not.

The Animal World (1956) - Ray Harryhausen. Willis O’Brian. Their stop motion segment is the ONLY notable part of this documentary. This is also the only part that has seen some release in modern times, as a bonus feature on the DVD of The Black Scorpion.

Prehistoric Animals of the Tar Pits (1956) - Black and white, but also quintessentially 50s and riff-able. Aside from the bones, it shows some wooden models to represent the animals.

Journey into Time (1960) - Fantasia this is not, but it TRIES to be. Lord it tries. Or, rather, there’s a Fantasia-adjacent thing elsewhere which does the same thing. Has some unique choices for animals to represent, including showing Permian forms like Scutusaurus and Inostrancevia.

Dem Dry Bones: Archaeology, Paleontology, Identification, and Preservation (1966) - This was a lucky find, it was on Youtube for half a second. And not worth digging out, really. Stuffy, dry, and mildly condescending. It was still interesting looking at the dinosaur hall of the Smithsonian back in the 1950s.

Dinosaurs - The Terrible Lizard (1970) - The stop motion here is pretty neat, if slow and plodding, it’s refreshing after all this crap. The puppets for many of these would later be re-used for The Land of the Lost. Including Grumpy, Alice, and Spot.

NOVA: The Hot-Blooded Dinosaurs (1977) - Robert Bakker’s first appearance in a documentary. HE HAS SUCH LONG HAIR! Not bad, a little dry, with National Geographic titles. It reminds me of 1990s documentaries, just so show how long it’s taken for various ideas to filter down. Currently, it’s available on Archive.org.

Dinosaurs: A First Film (1978) - The art style for this half-animated 70s abomination makes identifying various prehistoric animals almost impossible. Almost painful to sit through. Stops with the Dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs: The Age of the Terrible Lizards (1978) - Similar to the above, but available from Rifftrax, so much more watchable. Also, it’s actually animated!

Dinosaur (1980) - Wil Vinton Claymation with Dinosaurs. A few edits of this exist, the latter works a bit better, but the original is interesting to track down. Most of the edits are audio only, so you aren’t missing anything. The dinosaur sin this are top notch for color and design. They even have Corythosaurus and Tyrannosaurus not dragging their tails!

Cosmos (1980) - the animated segment covering Evolution is still wonderful if only for the narration from Carl Sagan.

The Age of Mammals (1981) - A follow up of sorts to Dinosaurs: The Age of Reptiles. Decent stop motion if a little slow. Decent variety for the time.

64,000,000 Years Ago (1981) - A solid stop motion short film. Still worth checking out for stop motion fans. Available on Youtube legally!

Dinosaurs: Fun, Facts, and Fantasy (1981) - Nostalgic for some, but aimed at a rather young audience. Some interesting stop motion bits in here too... if awkward in that way British stop motion can be outside Aardman Studios.

Reading Rainbow “Digging up Dinosaurs” (1983) - Definitely nostalgic for me. Besides, it’s Reading Rainbow! And opens with a clip from One Million Years B.C.! What’s not to love?

Prehistoric Beast (1984) - One of the best stop motion shorts on this list. Included because it INSPIRED a documentary from it. Phil Tippett firing on all cylinders. Well worth watching. And he uploaded it on Youtube himself!

Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs (1985), More Dinosaurs (1985), Son of Dinosaur (1988), Prehistoric World (1993) - Gary Owens and Eric Boardman have a series of documentaries on dinosaurs and prehistoric life. The presenters are what really make these work. Colorful, fun, and yes, silly, these still hold a nostalgic gleam for people like me. The last one has Dougal Dixon talk about his After Man speculations. Fun times.

Dinosaur! (1985) - Hosted by Christopher Reeve, this is one of the best documentaries of its time. Reeves loved dinosaurs and was happy to work on this project with Phil Tippet behind the animation. Covers a lot in its hour long format, and well worth watching. Do you know how good this special was? When Reeve died in 2004, the Discovery Channel (or similar station) re-aired this thing as a tribute. It holds up that well!

Tell Me Why: Pre-Historic Animals, Reptiles and Amphibians (1986) - This is something I had when I was a little kid. Dry, straight forward, a “Video Babysitter” at it’s best. It consists of a narrator while looking at pictures of the Invicta Dinosaur Toys that were also on the poster.

Dinosaurs! A Fun-Filled Trip Back in Time (1987) - Wil Vinton’s Dinosaurs! tied with a short setup/framing device with the kid from the Wonder Years involving a low-animation music video (this was the MTV age) and a guide through art from various dinosaur books from the 1950s through the 1980s. Rather meh, but Wil Vinton is why we are here. This was the only way to get Wil Vinton’s short back in the day, and is the version of the short shown in Museums like The Academy of Natural Sciences.

Digging Dinosaurs (PBS-WHYY) (1988) - Something I managed to record of TV back in the day, though not much of it, about the uncovering and preparation of Avaceratops. Bone Dry.

Maia: A Dinosaur Grows Up (1988) - A VHS version of the picture book, with narration and the whole spiel. Actually not to bad for what it is, but it is what it is. The art for that book is rather wonderful.

Lost Worlds, Vanished Lives (1988) - David. Attenburrough. Need I say more? Not one of his best, but still wonderful. Hard to track down.

Dinosaurs (1989) - From the Smithsonian Institute, one of the video followups sold in various museums (I have one from the Royal Tyrell, but haven’t been able to track it down). Not great, but I’ve seen worse.

Infinite Voyage: The Great Dinosaur Hunt (1989) - A rather dry documentary, but one I find extremely relaxing and calming. Very nostalgic for me. But still dry.

Vestie Video Sitter: Dinosaurs (1989) - This is for babies. It hurt to watch.

In November, 1990, Jurassic Park (novel) was released, and thus began the great shift.

In Search of the Dragon: The Great Dinosaur Hunt of the Century (1991) - a.k.a. The Dinosaur Project, The Great Dinosaur Hunt, The Hunt for China’s Dinosaurs. Edited into a 1 hour NOVA special from a nearly two hour documentary, all about the joint Canadian/Chinese Gobi Desert Expedition in the 1980s that gave us Mamenchisaurus among many other species. With another stop in the Arctic for good measure. Some good stop motion and pencil animation for Troodon round this one out.

A&E’s Dinosuar! (1991) - There’s so many things named “Dinosaur” that I have to specify. Hosted by Walter Cronkite, this is rather dry, but still entertaining documentary series has some nightmare-fuel puppet-work. The ‘sad’ music gets caught in my head sometimes when I think about it. It is 4 episodes long. “The Tale of a Tooth”, “The Tale of a Bone”, “The Tale of an Egg”, and “The Tale of a Feather”

T. Rex: Exposed (1991) - a Nova Documentary on T. Rex. Not too bad overall, focusing on the Wrankle Rex unearthing. Parts of it are available on Youtube, but not all of it.

The Case of the Flying Dinosaur (1991) - the third in the “NOVA” 91 trilogy, this covers the bird-dinosaur connection as it was still contentious at the time.

PBS’ The Dinosaurs! (1992) - A gold standard for documentaries on dinosaurs. The hand drawn animation with colored pencil style still hold up today. The narrator has a bit of an accent and pronounces “Dinosaur” oddly, but that is the only complaint I can really give. It has 4 episodes: “The Monsters Emerge”, “Flesh on the Bones”, “The Nature of the Beast”, “Death of the Dinosaurs.”

Muttaburrasaurus: Life in Gondwana (1993) - A half-hour short about dinosuars and mesozoic life in Australia. Solid stop motion animation. Australian Accents makes it fun to listen too.

NOVA: The Real Jurassic Park (1993) - Jeff Goldblum narrates this bit of scientists going on about “But what if we really did it?” Quite fun, lotta fun details the movies and even the books didn’t get into. My favorite bit had Robert Bakker talking to a game keeper at the Rockefeller Refuge in a Louisiana Cypress Swamp about what could happen if they kept a few dinosaur there (Edmontosaurus, Triceratops, and T. Rex). Namely, he talks about housing ‘about a thousand” Edmontosaurs on the 86K acre facility, with 2 or 3 mated pairs of Rexes. It’s fun getting numbers like that.

Bill Nye the Science Guy “Dinosaurs” (1993) - BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL! Not a bad kids entry for documentaries. Available from Netflix.

Paleoworld (1994-1997) - Running originally for 4 years, and being revamps once along the way, this rather dry, “Zoom in on paleoart” style of documentary was a good holdover for bigger things, and covered some pretty niche topics. Much of the later version has been uploaded to youtube.

Dinosaur Digs: A Fossil Finders Tour (1994), Dinosaurs: Next Exit (1994) - These films hurt me. They hurt me so much. I’ve seen some painful things, but these are hour long tour advertisements for road trips with annoyingly earworms. Available on youtube, but I ain’t linking anything!

Eyewitness: Dinosaur (1994) - Not a bad documentary, but I still hold a grudge on it for replacing Wil Vinton’s work at my local museum! Still, it is narrated by Martin Sheen. The clip selection is wide and varied, but we’re still getting The Lost World (1925) footage.

Planet of Life (1995) - This documentary series is rather dry, but boasts some interesting coverage of topics. Though some of it’s conclusions regarding dinosaurs are... not great. Still, the episode “Ancient Oceans” is a favorite of mine.

Once Upon Australia (1995) - The bests stop motion documentary on Australia’s prehistory. Has some humor to is, and Australian fauna that it does cover is solid. Though finding out how one of the animals is spelled, ( Ngapakaldia) drove me nuts for literally decades.

Dinosaurs: Myths and Reality (1995) - Like a little more polished episode of Paleoworld, with a lighter-voiced narration, this covers common myths about dinosaurs. Overall, a Meh. But it has a LOT of movie clips. Which makes sense given it was funded by the Disney Channel!

The Ultimate Guide: T. Rex (1995) - The Ultimate Guide series of docs were overall rather solid, as was the Tyrannosaurus one. Stop Motion animation along with puppets and some minor CG help round out the normal talking heads and skeleton mounts. Along with a solid narrator, it has a real mood to it.

The Magic School Bus “The Busasaurus” (1995) - The original Magic School Bus was a solid series, and their episode on Dinosaurs bucks trends even the reboot didn’t cover. The core thrust here wasn’t just dinosaur information, but the idea that Dinosaurs were not Monsters, but animals. And they conveyed it in a unique way.

I may do more of these mini-reviews, but there are a LOT of documentaries post The Lost World: Jurassic Park that don’t have as much easy access. Like, I’ve seen them, but digging out links/citing places to watch them is a lot harder.

Becoming Robert DeNiro

We are told (more re: this comment later) that Robert Deniro is an only child, his mom is an atheist and a far left lib, his father is also a far left lib and left his wife and son for another man! His mom and dad both were "artists" and wrote "erotica" for Anaïs Nin who was a novelist who also wrote "volumes of erotica".

They were part of an artistic community that was an “underground community” bursting with vitality and gossip, with its own celebrations and myths.” His parents had a “salon” on Bleecker Street and people such as “art critic Clement Greenberg, film essayist Manny Farber, and artist Margaret McKee, among others, would drop by and discuss Freud, Kierkegaard, Gertrude Stein, or Zen.” By all accounts they were a poor family.

His mother, Virginia Admiral, was English/French/Dutch/German. She was born in Oregon, lived in Illinois, (NOTE: her living in Illinois is important later) and then Berkeley, CA. She was "part of an off-campus art, socialist, and literary scene." Per Geni.com she was residing in Danville, Illinois according to the census, with her parents and younger sister, Eleanor. By 1930, Virginia's parents had divorced and she was living with her mother and sister in Berkeley, California. While in Berkeley, her mother, Alice, became a school teacher. Admiral, a painter, met Robert De Niro, Sr., an aspiring artist, at one of Hans Hofmann's painting classes in Provincetown, Massachusetts, and they married in 1942. https://www.geni.com/people/Virginia-De-Niro/6000000010581882947

According to Geni,com, his maternal grandfather lived in Illinois until 1930 at which point the census shows him living in Berkeley, CA. This is when his maternal grandparents divorced. His mother did not meet his father until 1942 in Massachusettes and Robert was born in 1943. His maternal grandmother, Alice Groman, shows to have died in 1962 in Indiana. His Maternal grandfather shows to have died, per the census, in 1949 in Palm Springs, CA.

https://www.geni.com/people/Donald-Admiral/6000000010581851011

His mother’s aunt, Helen Admiral, was born 1881 in Danville, Illinois and died 1914 in Chicago, Illinois. His mother’s uncle, Holton Admiral, was born in Watseka, Illinois in 1882 and died in 1952-1973 and location not known. His mother’s aunt, Virginia Dady, was born in Indiana in 1886 and died in Harvey, Illinois in 1955.

Her grandfather, Nicholas Admiral, was born in 1853 in Noor-Holland, Netherlands and died 1918 in Livingston, Illinois. Her grandmother, Virginia Mosbey Admiral, was born in 1848 in Falmouth, KY and died in 1928 in Clackamas, OR. Her great grandfather, Jacob Admiral, was born in 1818 in Netherlands. Her great grandmother, Neeltje Bakker, was born 1828 in Netherlands.

Her great grandfather, Nicholas Mosbey Holten, was born in 1807 in Mason, KY and died 1887 in Danville, Illinios. Her great grandmother, Lucy Ann Dupuy, was born in 1795 unknown and died 1849 unknown.

His mother’s family is far more extensive and goes way back to 1300′s in England

His mother has one sister, Eleanor Elizabeth Admiral Haefle. She was born 1916 in Iowa, 1920 lived in Illinois, 1930 -2009 died California.

Since it is likely his parents married because of the pregnancy, they divorced when he was about 2yo and his father began a homosexual relationship with his mother's longtime, very close friend Robert Duncan. Duncan was born to a family of devout theosophists (religious movement introducing the occult to Western esotericism, based on Neoplatonism and Asian religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism.

He was surrounded by the occult during his childhood. He studied at Berkeley and wrote poems based on his "left wing politics and was a friend of Deniro's mother. He was a member of the Mattachine Society which was founded by communist Harry Hay from LA. He studied "Medieval & and Renaissance literature and cultivated a reputation as a shamanistic figure in San Francisco poetry and artistic circles."

"His name is prominent in the history of pre-Stonewall gay culture and in the emergence of bohemian socialist communities of the 1930s and '40s, in the Beat Generation, and also in the cultural and political upheaval of the 1960s, influencing occult and gnostic circles of the time."

Deniro’s father was an artist and was involved in abstract art. He was born in Syracuse, NY and was Italian/Irish American. His father studied with Hans Hofmann at his Provincetown, Massachusettes summer school where he was taught Abstract Expressionism and Cubist formalism. This had a strong influence on his father’s development as a mature artist.

Per Geni.com, his father was born in 1922 in Syracuse, NY and died in 1993 in NY, NY due to prostate cancer. His grandfather, Henry Martin DeNiro, was born in 1897 in Ferrezzano, Molise, Italy and died in 1976 in Syracuse, NY. His grandmother, Helen M. O’Reilly-DeNiro was born in 1899 in Syracuse, NY and died in 1999 in Syracuse, NY.

His uncle, John DeNiro, was born 1925 in Syracuse, NY and died 2000 in Syracuse, NY. His aunt, Joan DeNiro-Bauder, was born in 1926 in Syracuse, NY and died 2017 in Syracuse, NY. His aunt, Elizabeth DeNiro, was born in 1928 in Syracuse, NY and died 1999 in Syracuse, NY

His great-grandfather, Giovanni Di Niro, was born in Italy. His great grandmother, Angiolina Mercurio, was born in Italy. His great-great-grandfather was Luigi Mercurio and was born in Italy. His great-great-grandmother was Rosanna Alaura also born in Italy. His other great-great grandfather, Carmine Di Niro, was born in Italy. His other great-great grandmother, Francesca Di Niro (Notartomaso) was born in Italy.

His great grandfather, Dennis Francis O’Reilly, was born in 1866 in Syracuse, NY and died 1952 in Syracuse, NY. His great grandmother, Mary O’Reilly, was born 1868 in NY and died in 1924 in unknown. His great-great grandfather, Edward O’Reilly, was born in Ireland. His great-great grandmother, Margaret, was born in Ireland.

So Robert DeNiro, Jr is half Italian and half Irish on his father’s side. This explains his dark hair and eyes but pale skin which lead to his mob nickname, Bobby Milk.

Much of DeNiro’s life did not include his father, and while the actor paid homage to his father at his 74th birthday, it appeared to be an emotional upheaval of regret. By looking at his father’s art, one can describe it subpar at best, and likely visions derived from an LCD rendezvous. While Deniro was very wealthy, his father remained poor. The story is his father was very involved in Deniro’s life, but considering he spend most of his life in Paris makes that hardly believable. But, we’ll let Deniro have his “memories”.

His uncle, John “Jack” Deniro died in 2015 and lists Robert and his wife Grace as his nephew. There are many pictures there of the family and several I put here with Deniro: https://www.remickgendron.com/obituaries/John-De-Niro/#!/Obituary

His cousin, Jean DiNero was the production assistance for “Raging Bull” and several other shows: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0210585/

She lives in Manhattan, NY and married to Candace Sue Frede:

https://www.nytimes.com/2002/11/10/style/weddings-celebrations-jean-deniro-candace-frede.html

His cousin, Linda DeNiro lives in NY and is a licensed realtor in NY and FL as well as an interior designer: http://lindadeniro.com/about

His cousin, Dana DeNiro-Moulton lives in NH and owns a fashion boutique: https://lunachics.com/meet-our-staff-1

It appears his extended family are likely liberal but not involved in the sadistic pedophilia that Robert is dabbling in. Anyhow, back to the woman his parents wrote "erotica" for, Anaïs Nin, dropped out of high school at age 16 and became an "artist's model". She married Hugh Parker Guiller aka Ian Hugo, a filmmaker who did "experimental film" but eventually went into banking.

She also hooked up with Otto Rank, a close friend of Freud x20+yrs also a psychoanalyst, and she began to practice psychoanalysis in a room next to his by having sex with her patients on her psychoanalytic couch. She is "hailed by many critics as one of the finest writers of female erotica". Anaïs Nin eventually moved to LA. She was hailed by the feminazi movement and gave many lectures.

It is also said that she was bi-sexual. She had a long standing love affair with Henry Miller, an American writer who developed "a new type of semi-autobiographical novel that blended character study, social criticism, philosophical reflection, stream of consciousness, explicit language, sex, surrealist free association, and mysticism" and was an active member of the Socialist Party of America.

His book "Moloch: or, This Gentile World" is a semi-autobiographical novel originally said to be written by his wife June but it is "considered to be of interest more as a study of Miller's artistic growth than as a worthy piece of fiction". His work was very detailed descriptions of sexual encounters.

He was a pedo who liked much younger girls, marrying several of them. He also lived in LA and worked with Warren Beatty and had parties at his home for the artistic elite.

So, we have an idea of the upbringing Robert DeNiro had with socialists, communists, abstract art, erotica, Atheism, homosexuality, bisexuality, broken home, elitist environments, and MKULTRA (keep reading). His parents were not very involved in his life so he was left unsupervised often. He spent a lot of time with the homeless street kids. Per a family friend, “he wasn’t coddled much”. (sounds like MKULTRA conditioning- lack of attention and affection)

He was an introvert, very shy, and spent hours in silence. During his time alone, which was a lot, he wondered the streets of Little Italy in NY. “After school he took to wandering around the streets of Little Italy, past the sleazy bars and pool halls, and he joined a street gang on Kenmare. Gang members nicknamed him Bobby Milk, “because he was pale and strange as milk.” (Below he seems to be in a trance-like state)

When he was 16, he dropped out of high school. He had taken acting classes at “Stella Adler’s scene-study class.” after performing at the age of 10 in a school play as the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz.

In 1975 he explained that while his initial desire to act was for stardom, he eventually liked, “To totally submerge into another character and experience life through him without having to risk the real-life consequences—well, it’s a cheap way to do things you would never dare to do yourself.”

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/1987/10/robert-de-niro-life-story

Stella Adler was born in 1901 to a Jewish family, all of whom were actors. Her mother, Sara ( Sara Heine), was a Russian-born Jewish actress. She moved to NY in 1883 with her husband, Maurice. She spoke only Russian but learned Yiddish in the theaters. She married Jacob Adler in 1891 and, “She and Adler would be among the most prominent actors in Yiddish theater in New York for the next three decades.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sara_Adler

Her father, Jacob ( Feivel (Pavel) Abramovitch Adler), was born in what is now known as the Ukraine. He had very little education, spent much time on the streets with petty crime, got into boxing, starting dancing, and eventually starting acting. He was a socialist. He had an affair with Jenny "Jennya" Kaiser and had Stella’s brother, actor Charles Adler. She is also sister of Luther Adler and cousin to Jerry Adler. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Pavlovich_Adler

Stella Adler started acting alongside her parents when she was 4. “The Adlers comprised the Jewish American Adler acting dynasty, which had its start in the Yiddish Theater District and was a significant part of the vibrant ethnic theatrical scene that thrived in New York from the late 19th century to the 1950s.” Much like her father, she had very little formal schooling and spent much of her time in the “theater”.

I am sure you wonder why I am detailing these people. Well, it appears by the many descriptions of their “art” that this may have been the early MONARCH MKULTRA institutions where children were brought in (remember, they preyed on children from broken homes or ones who had limited parental involvement- which is the case with Deniro) and brainwashed/controlled. This makes perfect sense now that we understand the means to mass brain control is through the media/movies/music. Acting studios make a perfect front! Take a look at the diagram below:

Stella joined a theater called Group Theater founded by Russian/Jewish actors/directors who had close ties to the Russian actor, Konstantin Stanislavski, from Moscow. It isn’t far fetched to assume they had ties to communists, more about that below. This theater began as the Actors Studio, a membership only theater that eventually became the Group Theater which used the strict practices called, The Method, derived from Stanislavski. Note: “Adler made her English-language debut on Broadway in 1922 as the Butterfly in The World We Live In.” (How MONARCH of them!)

The Method, diagram above, refers to a strict process in which the actor becomes the part they are playing. There were “three teachers associated with "having set the standard of its success", each emphasizing different aspects of the approach: Lee Strasberg (the psychological aspects), Stella Adler (the sociological aspects), and Sanford Meisner (the behavioral aspects).” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_acting

This group was led by Lee Strasberg and are connected to Yale Acting School and had great influence on the Chelsea Theater Center in NY. Remember, this is during the “McCarthy” era when everyone called him a “conspiracy theorist” regarding all the communists residing in America. In the 1950′s, many of the former members were called to testify in front of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). Several turned over on their communist leaders and connections: Elia Kazan, Clifford Odets, and Lee J. Cobb. Deniro says:

How “Crime Boss” of him! No chance he’s gonna sing like a canary. One of the people who exposed the communist ties to the group, Elia Kazan, said, “he abandoned his Communist views in part because of an agenda to transform the Group Theatre into a company devoted to promoting "Marxist ideology."

Look again at the names in this pic:

Lee Strasberg was born, Israel Lee Strassberg, a Polish-American. He is known in Hollywood circles as the "father of method acting in America". His third wife started the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York City and in Hollywood. It continued the teaching “system”. Per Wikipedia: “The institute's primary stated goal was "to reach a larger audience of eager and emerging talent" than was served by the Actors Studio's notoriously selective admission process, and as teachers of the method began to deploy their own personal interpretations of the discipline, "to dispel growing confusion and misrepresentation of the method, preserving what had by now become fundamental discoveries in actor training."

The Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute has its own rigorous sets of entrance criteria required for admission into their program and “Kazan, in his autobiography, wrote, ‘He carried with him the aura of a prophet, a magician, a witch doctor, a psychoanalyst, and a feared father of a Jewish home, was the force that held the thirty-odd members of the theater together, and made them 'permanent'” The actors and directors who were programmed, trained, brainwashed, whatever you wanna call it, are now doing the selecting of subjects and programming today (Ellen Burstyn, Al Pacino, and Harvey Keitel lead this nonprofit studio dedicated to the development of actors, playwrights, and directors.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Strasberg

As you can see, this is a whole other rabbit hole we need to jump down. MKULTRA is alive and well and has been working behind the guise of teaching acting. It makes sense, though, because isn’t acting a time when you become who you are told to be? Why do these actors perform their roles so well??? Because they ARE those roles! Their souls were abducted at a time they could not refuse and now they are running rampant in our society pretending to be one of us! Note the names identified above: Abromovitch and Marx.

Now that I have got your attention, get a drink...go pee...definitely pray...and give yourself some time to digest this chaotic, yet well orchestrated, evil mess before you start the next section which explains how the Mob ties into this whole shindig! Oh yes, Patriots, there is MUCH MUCH more! Muwahahahahahah!

So Deniro was sucked into the MKULTRA program as a young child. He was cultivated to operate for the Kabal and to do as he is told. He has no soul, as his precious soul was abducted long ago. He is a master of acting because, like the Matrix, he gets “plugged in” and “becomes” his role. His shadow is cold and dark. But, when and where and to whom was he conceived?

He was known as a womanizer and a partier who did drugs with many of the elite he worked with. He was known to be a d!ck to people he felt were subpar actors but this is noted about him, "De Niro was too obvious with his frustration with the actress cringing at her line readings. But he treated Jodie Foster, only 13 at the time, like a queen."

He spent a lot of time at the Chateau Marmont hotel where many elite stayed and partied including John Belushi and Scorsese, with cocaine their favorite drug. He is said to have had relations with @BetteMidler, Sally Kirkland, Carole Mallory, Helena Springs, and actress Barbara Carrera while he was still married to his first wife Diahnna (Toukie). It seems he attempted to land any woman who would let him...so he’s made his rounds in Hollyweird.

He has 6 children and in his old age has slowed down his partying but he has accumlated Quite a bit of wealth, even by Hollyweird standards and has acquired much real estate in NY and LA. Most importantly and equally intriguing...he is known as a frequent visitor of the Chateau Marmont Hotel in LA which is considered the Elite party spot where "anything goes" and he along with Robin Williams were there the night John Belushi "accidentally" OD'd on heroine and cocaine.

Remember, this is the same hotel @RepAdamSchiff is "suspected" to have dressed in drag and raped the 10yo child they "accidentally" killed by overdosing him with heroin then disposed of his body...and that Anthony Bourdain was there and "suicided" himself shortly after (@Johnheretohelp). Seems DeNiro is closely linked to this hotel alon with many other actors for many years, since the 70's.

His acting career started with a very close relationship with Scorsese. Deniro and Scorse grew up in Little Italy in NY together and DeNiro was part of the Kenmare gang. This is considered a "tame" gang but he did grow up in the area of NY where all the BIG crime families were. "De Niro has also been connected by some to the Gambino crime family."

De Niro is one of the "GoodFellas" actors to hang out members of the Gambino family, "De Niro consulted with the late Gambino soldier Anthony (Fat Andy) Ruggiano for is role in "Analyze This". Ruggiano was involved in at least seven murders, including his son-in-law.

Frank Sivero "posed for photos at Gambino hit man Charles Carneglia's junkyard, and actor Anthony Borgese was indicted for participating in an extortion with a Gambino soldier." DeNiro introduced to Gambino by Anthony Corozzo a Gambino associate AND mbr of Screen Actors Guild!

Gambino boss, Nicholas "Little Nick" Corozzo, is brother to Anthony. Their two brothers: Joseph "Jo Jo" Corozzo a Gambino consigliere and Blaise Corozzo a Gambino soldier. The Gambino family is connected to the Screen Actors Guild! There is a long history of mobs and Hollyweird.

De Niro claims he does not remember meeting Ruggiano because it was so long ago: https://www.thechicagosyndicate.com/search/label/Anthony%20Corozzo?m=0

Denior has been seen photographed with sketchy characters we know worship satan, do spirit cooking, kill and eat babies while sacrificing them to their pagan gods. The #1 witch in particular is MARIA Abromovitch. (Notice that name is bolded above), Bill Clinton, and Jay Z.

Deniro was a part of the Harvey Weinstein collapse because Harvey took "very young" girls to Deniro's restaurant Tribeca Grill and even assaulted the employees there too. Hey Bobby Milk, ur friends define you...didn't you know that???

Recently he was found attending functions with Purple Magazine (connected to Rachel Chandler) and posing with a known pedophile and sex offender, Terry Richardson.

Finally, in studying the family history, I find the DeNiro crime family in Illinois, Ohio. Remember above, his mother lived there before moving to Berkeley, California and much of her family history is in Illinois. The Wikipedia says she was born in Oregan, lived in Illinois, then moved to Berkeley. The connection of his mother to Illinoise where the DeNiro crime family lived cannot be ignored.

James V. “Vince” DeNiro was a notorious Youngstown, Ohio mob associate and gambling boss. He was born 1922 and died in 1961 from a car bombing. DeNiro was considered handsome and debonair and known as one of Youngstown’s “policy Kings”. He ran the Dry Men's Social club and owned the Cicero restaurant. “DeNiro became one of the leading underworld figures in the Mahoning Valley during the 1950s and early 1960s and was heavily involved in the numbers racket.” His rival was of the Naples family, Joseph "Sandy" Naples both vying to be the “top mobster in Youngstown beginning in the early 1950s.”

He had close ties to the Cleveland crime family: Calogera Malfitano considered to be his mentor; "Cadillac Charlie" Charles Cavallaro, and "Tony Dope" Anthony Delsanter. His rival, Sandy Naples and his girlfriend was gunned down in 1960 and it was believed he was behind it. Naple’s brother, Billy Naples, was killed the following year in a car bombing. He surrendered to police but was not charged due to lack of evidence. Not sure, but he looks an awful lot like Robert “Bobby Milk” DeNiro: https://mafia.wikia.org/wiki/Vince_DeNiro

youtube

It is interesting to note, Vince’s great nephew is Vincent L. DeNiro and he is involved with special effects and stunts for movies. He has an interesting history but most notably he speaks Ukranian and does “Theatrical Armorer for Hollywood, Expert Witness - Firearms (accidents, movie industry, faulty design issues, etc.), commercial sales, military and LE contracts, and distribution. Have I “done it all” in the firearms industry? Well, just about everything!” He was also a deputy sheriff in Youngstown, OH as well he notes that he “ led the defeat of the first city “assault weapon” ban in the U.S. in 1989, which made national headlines.” https://www.linkedin.com/in/vincent-l-deniro-501311b

His brother, Louis DeNiro, was noted in his obituary to have been a member of St. Anne Ukrainian Catholic Church in Austintown:

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/148374810/louis-r-deniro

The Ukraine connection is because he is married to Katherine Danylyk which is a Ukrainian last name and her uncle died in Texas: https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/houstonchronicle/obituary.aspx?n=michael-danylyk&pid=159897791&fhid=10889

His brother is William DeNiro, also deceased and is noted to have a grandson named “Robert”, maybe just a coincedence, but there is a striking resemblance of DeNiro, his dad, and his uncle to this family in Illinois:

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/146664719/william-paul-deniro

Continued digging needed to see if a connection can be made! Stand by for updates.

Thanks,

Rondleiding - deel 2

Limoncello Lounge

In de Limoncello Lounge waan je je Alice in Wonderland, als je ten minste niet hebt geluisterd naar de vunzige vehalen die de ronde doen over eigenaar Frenk da Costa en zijn drie barmeisjes. De lounge trekt met zijn bordeauxrode pluche stoelen en theekopjesvormige lampen de hipste jongeren onder de minst hippe jongeren aan, en de taart is er wonderwel te eten.

Recreatiecentrum De Pit

Recreatiecentrum De Pit is de thuisbasis van twee snoepautomaten en de lokale voetbalclub Zuurzielerboys. Je kunt er naar het eerste komen kijken, waar soms een dorpsgek in de waan verkeert dat hij de scheidsrechter is, terwijl je kinderen dat krampachtig proberen te negeren in de aangrenzende speeltuin.

Camping Zuurzielerzeezicht

Kom marshmallows roosteren onder de bomen, houd je toiletrol goed vast en ervaar het natuurgevoel. Echte locals kunnen je vertellen dat de Zuurzielerzee helemaal geen zee is, maar dat hoef jij als toerist niet te weten, toch?

Aart’s Taartjes

Aart's Taartjes was tot voor kort de goedlopende eenmanszaak van de oude bakker Aart Kruimel. Zijn specialiteit: het Korstenbroodje, speciaal ontworpen voor kinderen die willen breken met de gewoonte om altijd een bepaald gedeelte van hun boterham te laten liggen. Sinds Aart overleed, is zijn zoon Wolf eigenaar. Althans, dat staat in zijn testament. Tot nu toe bakt Wolf er weinig van. Kom zelf kijken naar de gedoofde lichten en de onbemande toonbank - het verdriet is glutenvrij.

Basisschool Eureka

Ooit stond de ‘Eu’ nog voor ‘Eucharistie’, maar omdat het aantal gelovigen in Zuurzielerburen sneller krimpt dan de bejaarde dronkaard Rikkert Lazarus, liggen er aan het onderwijs op deze school nog maar twee kernwaarden ten grondslag: REspect en KAnsrijkheid. Er woedt al tijden een discussie over de huidige locatie recht achter café Kwast, maar omdat beide partijen niet graag verhuizen, ben je tot nu toe vooral kansrijk als het gaat om de mogelijkheid je vader 's ochtends dronken over het schoolplein te zien struinen.

The 60 Best Fantasy Books Books the Best Fantasy Books Of 2020, An Unfantastic Year</p>

It is not a strict retelling, so if you are a fan of the nested story within a story structure, this is not the book for you. But if you would like to see a different take on the first, Ahdieh's debut may be worth checking out. Should you ever wondered what X-Men would look like in a fantasy setting, this book might offer an answer for you. In a world in which individuals with silver bloodstream have superpowers and people with red blood would be the people they subjugate, a woman with red blood finds she's special abilities of their own. While the genre often conjures images of dragons and wizards, fantasy need not take place in alternate worlds. In addition to imperial bastards and assassins, thieves also run rampant through the genre. There are a lot of important mystical artifacts to steal.

She has powerful and intriguing characters, a fully thought out world, and adifferent taste of dragons. I guess as there is no magic and it gets a bit sci-fi might disqualify her from a listing Like this. Poul Anderson largely wrote SciFi, now you're saying he's the protagonist that the genre. Daaamn, first list where Malazan is truly on its rightfull place. I enjoy Silmarillion more than each other Tolkien's work, therefore LOTR must not be at the top. Riftwar has to took its location, because its dozen times greater. Read more about read books online free here. I believe I did not see them in the listing, you need to add them next time. The entire Mistborn series is worth your time, but begin with Mistborn. However, I find myself returning to Tolkien's work every so often, and whenever I glean something new from the story of Frodo Baggins and the 1 Ring. Tolkien's Middle-earth is so well-drawn and rich with song and lore, it is difficult not to get lost in it all. It is a powerful story of friendship and the corrupting effect of power on the world.

The world of magic is largely linked with the subsequent Roman Greek universe. Numerous fantasy books originally written for children and teens, such as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the Harry Potter series, The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit also attract an adult audience. For even more dream recommendations (we have got loooots), have a look at our sci-fi and fantasy podcast, SFF Yeahor subscribe to Swords & Spaceships, our email newsletter about everything in the realm of science fiction and fantasy. Of all the potential retellings on the market, I never expected to see a YA retelling of 1001 Nights. If you've only seen the movies, you will find so much more from the novels. It's a clear option, but I can not see how any list in this way could be complete without J.R.R. Tolkien's epic fantasy. Tolkien is to blame for modern dream's obsession with orcs, elves and dwarves, and of course Halflings and Dark Lords whose titles ought never to be spoken aloud. Get early access to the freshest indie books, each and every week. Bakker makes you consider more than just the dream world he made. Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell remains one of my favorite fantasy books of all time. The planet Susanna Clarke creates is one shrouded in mystery. Set in England in the early 19th century, magic has all but vanished from the property. The mythical Raven King hasn't yet been seen in ages, and magicians are barely more than scholars of magical history. Then two practical magicians look, and everything changes.

European Film Festival 2020 Goes Virtual

This year’s annual European Film Festival goes completely virtual with an excellent line-up of twelve brand new films, all of which are premiere screenings in South Africa. All of these eleven films are screened free of charge and one additional documentary will collect a fee towards a worthy cause.

Emphasising her support for the festival’s continuity despite the challenges presented by the coronavirus pandemic, EU Ambassador to South Africa, Dr Riina Kionka, said: “Twelve films in eleven days shows the determination of this European partnership to overcome difficult circumstances. Since my arrival in South Africa this is my second European Film Festival: I can tell you that it is a cultural highlight not to be missed. In addition, I invite you to participate in the various special events lined up during the Festival!”

Old Worlds and New

Invoking a moment of reflection, and the opportunity to reset our attitude to the world and our 2020 circumstances, this year’s 7th edition of the European Film Festival, is about Then and Now, with the films inscribing an arc from Old Worlds to New.

Starting in the Middle Ages, this year’s Austrian film is based on the story of Narcissus and Goldmund, written by Nobel-prize winning author Hermann Hesse, and directed here by Oscar-winning Stefan Ruzowitzky (The Counterfeiters). It examines the powerful bond between two very different characters, amidst the dichotomy between religious monastic life and the passion and adventure of secular life.

Moving forward a few hundred years, there are two reflections on wars of the 20th century.

After World War 2, when most countries around the world were focused on recovery and rebuilding, the small country of Lithuania remained in a war situation as locals resisted Soviet occupation for about another 15 years. Sharanas Bartas’s film In The Dusk dramatically takes us into that desperate time and place. From the same era, but focused in a different part of Europe and Africa, Home Front is a Belgian film directed by Lucas Belvaux, where painful memories of the time of the French colonial war in Algeria explode into the present, opening up chapters of a toxic past which is still not fully spoken of today.

Marco Bellocchio's award-winning film The Traitor takes us into the 1980s when a whistleblowing mafia boss-turned-informer triggers the largest prosecution of the Sicilian mafia in Italian history. A riveting insight into the operations of one of the world’s most notorious crime syndicates.

The German film Curveball, directed by Johannes Naber, is a thriller that catapults viewers into the 21st century. In a sober warning about how terribly easy it is to slip into war, this is a fact-based story about how a lie regarding chemical weapons, sets in motion a chain of events that results in the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, forever changing the global political landscape.

On a much lighter note, the Spanish film directed by Bernabe Rico, One Careful Owner, tells how a woman buys a new home with a certain ‘inconvenience’, namely that the 80-year old current owner will remain living in it until she dies. The two very different women in this story will form an unlikely friendship filled with tenderness, emotion and much laughter.

Another film focusing on female relationships, and in this case a mother-daughter relationship, is the French film Proxima, by director Alice Winocour, about a French woman astronaut who is forced to consider her priorities of family versus career.

There are two stories of unique emancipation and self-discovery – the first is the Dutch film, Becoming Mona, directed by Sabine Lubbe Bakker and Niels van Koevorden, in which we follow, from childhood through to adulthood, Mona’s struggle to break free from the stifling constraints of a life lived in service of other people’s egos.

The UK film this year is Bassam Tariq’s Mogul Mowgli, starring Riz Ahmed as a rapper on the verge of a big international tour when he gets cut down with a severe illness, causing him to confront his Pakistani/English culture, and himself.

The Polish film Sweat by director Magnus van Horn focuses on a fitness motivator who has become a social media celebrity and influencer - it’s about how she wrestles with the nature of her popularity and what loneliness and intimacy mean in her world, all highly pertinent issues in this modern digital era.

The festival also includes two powerful documentaries. The Irish representative, The 8th, is about the highly emotive and divisive topic of abortion and women’s reproductive rights. Here, three award-winning women directors, Aideen Kane, Lucy Kennedy, and Maeve O’Boyle, follow the grassroots activism of the campaign to repeal the 1983 8th amendment (which criminalised abortions) in a defining moment of Irish history.

Finally, bringing us right up to date, is a film which focuses our attention on one of the greatest crises humanity has ever faced, climate change. Nathan Grossman’s deeply personal Swedish documentary I am Greta follows the teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg from her one-person school strike to her astonishing wind-powered voyage across the Atlantic Ocean to speak at the UN Climate Action Summit in New York City.

“These films give us much to think about, a common theme in all of them being Relationship,” says Peter Rorvik, curator of the festival. “The wide range of relationships deal with antagonism, dominance, and dependency; with competition and conflict; with cooperation, friendship, and love; with class, race, and culture. It is also about relationship with ourselves, and with our environment, and the eco-systems of which we are a part. We cannot always control our circumstances, but how we manage these exchanges will mark our place in the world. This selection will not just entertain, but contribute to our awareness of relationships, guide our actions, and inform our ongoing journey of discovery of the world and ourselves.”

Free Screenings

The 2020 edition of the European Film Festival is virtual and accessible online across South Africa only. The film screenings are free, except for I am Greta, whose entry fee of R50 serves as a fundraiser for a climate action group who will be awarded screening proceeds after the festival.

Look out for the full programme of screenings and special events on https://www.eurofilmfest.co.za/

Bringing the best of European film to South Africa’s home screens, the European Film Festival 2020 is a partnership project of the Delegation of the European Union to South Africa and 12 other European embassies and cultural agencies in South Africa: the Embassies of Austria, Belgium, Ireland, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden and Wallonie-Bruxelles International, the French Institute in South Africa, the Goethe-Institut, the Italian Cultural Institute, and the British Council. The festival is organised in cooperation with CineEuropa and coordinated by Creative WorkZone.
