Lorraine Broughton - Atomic Blonde, 2017

[sanguineterrain]

I’m new to the fandom too, but from what I’ve gathered it was after Zazie Beetz was cast that they decided to make her black. They didn’t make Amber black and then look for a black voice actress. It does LOOK sus and fall into the placeholder woc gf trope, so I get being upset at first glance. That’s also why Eve stayed the same, Gillian Jacob’s was cast and she was already white so they didn’t change her. This is just me assuming at this point, but I also don’t think they changed Eve’s look to match Gillian’s because Atom Eve has a cool and iconic look with her red hair and pink suit, and changing her to be brunette would be lame 😭 whereas Amber being another white blonde lady isn’t important or memorable, and in my opinion Amber being a woc who cares about her states comptroller DID make her cooler and more interesting to me because I can relate to her now like I could relate to Eve’s personal life.

Okay... not sure if you're agreeing or disagreeing with my post, but I'll try to respond as best as I can. If I misunderstood anything you said, feel free to correct me.

It's not the fact that they made Amber black and Eve white that I take issue with; it's the way they wrote Amber as an afterthought (some of her dialogue is oddly unsympathetic, which I think was just a screw up by the writers) and that fans overhate her. AND. it's the fact that Eve is portrayed as 'saintly' in contrast. Eve is almost not human in how understanding she is of Mark and what he's experiencing, but no empathy is extended to Amber even though she's not a superhero and is in a relationship with Mark. It's far more difficult for someone in Amber's position to adjust to Mark's lifestyle.

Yes, understanding is required on both sides. But I think some people fall into this trap of ignoring the nonpowered person's perspective and instead saying "well, they're not out saving the world, so they can't complain." The whole point of Debbie and Nolan's falling out is to show that Debbie's side of things IS important and that the superhero isn't always in the right.

My argument isn't that Amber shouldn't have been black if Eve's race wasn't also changed (though keeping Eve white raises an interesting question), it's that she should've been written thoughtfully. Her being a poc shouldn't have also made her reductive. I get she's a placeholder in the comics but it looks BAD the way they handled her character, because Mark ends up being paired with a white woman. And if what you're saying about the casting is true, then I think I can say that making Amber black wasn't a thoughtful and purposeful decision. Ergo, her relationship with Mark wasn't thoughtfully written and fans unnecessarily made her the villain. I think it's stupid that they developed this great character and reduced her to a terrible woc character trope.

It's a damn shame they started to build a really interesting woc character and then threw her away as soon as she stopped serving her purpose as a placeholder for the white woman love interest.

1950s Cinema

The 1950s was a significant decade for cinema, marked by various movements, genres, and iconic films. The decade witnessed the continuation of established genres while also paving the way for new styles and storytelling techniques.

Golden Age of Hollywood: The 1950s were part of the Golden Age of Hollywood, characterized by the dominance of major studios and the star system. Many renowned actors and actresses emerged during this period.

Film Noir: Film noir continued to thrive in the 1950s, featuring dark, crime-oriented stories with morally ambiguous characters and shadowy cinematography. Notable examples include "Double Indemnity" (1944), "The Third Man" (1949), and "Touch of Evil" (1958).

Westerns: Westerns were immensely popular during this decade, with many iconic films being produced. Directors like John Ford and actors like John Wayne became synonymous with the genre. Some well-known films include "High Noon" (1952), "Shane" (1953), and "The Searchers" (1956).

Science Fiction: The 1950s saw a surge in science fiction films, often reflecting Cold War anxieties and fears of atomic warfare. Classics like "The Day the Earth Stood Still" (1951), "Forbidden Planet" (1956), and "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1956) captivated audiences.

Musical Films: The 1950s were also known for extravagant musical films. Productions like "Singin' in the Rain" (1952), "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" (1953), and "West Side Story" (1961) showcased elaborate dance numbers and memorable songs.

Japanese Cinema: The 1950s marked the rise of Japanese cinema, particularly the works of renowned directors like Akira Kurosawa. Films like "Rashomon" (1950), "Seven Samurai" (1954), and "Tokyo Story" (1953) gained international acclaim.

European Cinema: European cinema also made significant contributions during this era. Filmmakers such as Federico Fellini, Ingmar Bergman, and François Truffaut gained prominence, producing influential films like "La Strada" (1954), "The Seventh Seal" (1957), and "The 400 Blows" (1959).

I realized this is JLaw‘s first official comedy – “Silver Linings Playbook” and “Joy” are each a dramedy. “Don’t Look Up” is funny, but its genre would be cautionary/Scifi. Lawrence was the comic relief in “American Hustle”, but again, a satire, not a broad comedy.  I’m glad she finally found herself here. 

The Blackening’s got the feel of Bodies Bodies Bodies, just not as clever.  You can see the twist ending coming from a mile away. But as someone whose black card is always in threat of being revoked, due to having grown up on a constant diet of corny, white fare; I liked the irony of a board game of actual black cards, where each character has to answer culturally black trivia in order to stay alive!  And yup, if I were playing, my black card would once again have been in jeopardy, cause for a number of the questions, I’d have been about as much help as I’d be in an escape room requiring math. 

Overall I enjoyed the film and thought this fresh take on the Flashpoint event was creative. Just not as creative as the 2013 film, which still had meta-humans and heroes, with each of them in different roles than what they are in the traditional DC’s Earth-Prime version. For instance, Bruce Wayne was killed in the alley that famous night instead of his parents; turning his father into Batman and his mother into the Joker. Superman is captured and nowhere to be found. Cyborg is a resistance leader, giving America a fighting chance within a war between Aquaman’s Atlanteans and Wonder Woman’s Amazonians. Aquaman cheated on his wife Mera with Diana and it led to this major war.

Vibrant all the way around, story, visuals, characters! Although, I’ll admit, I got a little sleepy a few moments before we meet the super cool Spider-man named Hobie Brown, aka Spider-Punk voiced by Daniel Kaluuya, but that could have been due to the heaping portion of Chinese food I ate at the beginning of the movie. This Spider-Punk was my favorite spidey. Kauuya says he: put a lot of emphasis on what matters to the fans when it came to finding his superhero’s voice, so much so that when he first took on the role of Spider-Punk he listened to fan-made playlists dedicated to the character to understand how they saw him rather than choose to base him on any punk rock icons of the past.

Me and my sister came out of Disney’s Live Action The Little Mermaid smiling from ear to ear feeling as though it managed to capture and hold true to everything we loved about the animated original and at the same time, embracing the world of today with beautiful diversity. But then I read The New York Times review by Wesley Morris and he just makes me feel stupid for enjoying the movie. I suppose he has some salient points like “This new flesh-and-blood version is about a girl who’d like to withdraw her color from the family rainbow and sail off into “uncharted waters” with her white prince.” Also, although I loved Halle Bailey’s interpretation of Ariel, his review now makes me question, does she imbue varied enough facial expressions while mute?

The Mother explores themes of family, redemption and identity, as Lopez’s character (with no name) struggles to reconcile her past and present. It’s not a groundbreaking or original movie by any means. It borrows heavily from other action movies like “Taken”, “Salt” and “Atomic Blonde”. The plot is predictable, the villains are one-dimensional and the moments of warmth aren’t very moving. But it’s entertaining, and it’s JLo, so stream it!

I definitely feel GOTG3 has stronger beats than Ant-man Quantumania, but it’s still a little long and lacking a certain spark had by the prior 2 movies of this MCU franchise. I think we need to go back to keeping the films just under 2 hours. Infinity War and End Game each needed to be nearly 3 hours because of so many characters and major story arcs, but with these sequels, no matter how beloved the characters, there’s not enough to fill them. I love superhero movies and particularly the MCU, but lately I can always feel the point in which they should be wrapping up, yet there’s 40-45 minutes still to go.

watched Atomic Blonde for the gays, I feel like I missed a portion of what was going on and who was spying for whom since the site I pirated from didn't do subtitles and I'm stupid but the women were hot and iconic and the violence brutal so all in all I liked it. Who could not want to see cold war spy shit with a decent splash of lesbianism after all

The Most Iconic Diamond Jewelry Moments in History

The Most Iconic Diamond Jewelry Moments in History

Introduction

Diamonds have long been a symbol of luxury, power, and love, making them the centerpiece of some of the most iconic moments in history. From royal engagements to Hollywood red carpets, these sparkling gems have captured the imagination of people worldwide. In recent years, advances in technology have introduced new ways to create diamonds, such as Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). If you’re wondering, “what is a CVD diamond ring?” and how it compares to the diamonds of history, we’ll explore both in this journey through the most unforgettable diamond jewelry moments.

What is a CVD Diamond Ring?

Before diving into history, let’s briefly explain what a CVD diamond ring is. A CVD diamond is a type of lab-grown diamond produced through a process known as Chemical Vapor Deposition. In this process, carbon-containing gases are broken down, and carbon atoms are deposited onto a substrate, forming a diamond. CVD diamonds are chemically identical to natural diamonds but are often more affordable and eco-friendly, making them a popular choice for modern consumers.

Now that you know what a CVD diamond ring is, let’s look at some iconic diamond jewelry moments from the past and how lab-grown diamonds could play a role in the future.

1. Queen Elizabeth II’s Engagement Ring

One of the most famous engagement rings in history belongs to Queen Elizabeth II. The ring, a 3-carat round diamond set in platinum with smaller diamonds on each side, was crafted from a tiara belonging to Prince Philip's mother. This diamond has become a symbol of timeless elegance, reflecting the legacy of the British monarchy.

Could a CVD diamond ring replicate this? Absolutely. CVD diamonds are optically and chemically identical to natural diamonds. Modern brides looking for an affordable yet regal option can easily opt for a similar design with a CVD diamond ring.

2. The Hope Diamond

The Hope Diamond is one of the most famous diamonds in the world, known for its deep blue color and fascinating history. Weighing 45.52 carats, it’s currently housed in the Smithsonian Museum. Its rare color and large size have made it a subject of intrigue for centuries.

What about a CVD version of the Hope Diamond? With advances in technology, it is possible to create colored CVD diamonds, including blue ones. While the original Hope Diamond is priceless, a similar look could be achieved with a custom-designed CVD diamond ring.

3. The Taylor-Burton Diamond

Elizabeth Taylor’s love affair with diamonds is well-documented, but the Taylor-Burton Diamond is perhaps the most iconic piece she owned. This 69.42-carat pear-shaped diamond, given to her by Richard Burton, became one of the most talked-about jewels of the 20th century.

Can a CVD diamond replicate this? While CVD diamonds are often smaller than such massive natural stones, technology is evolving. A CVD diamond ring in a pear shape can offer a similar dazzling effect, giving wearers the glamour of Elizabeth Taylor at a fraction of the price.

4. Princess Diana’s Engagement Ring

When Prince Charles proposed to Princess Diana in 1981, the world took note of her 12-carat oval sapphire surrounded by 14 diamonds. The ring has since become iconic, now worn by Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge.

Could a CVD diamond complement this style? Yes! While Princess Diana’s ring featured a sapphire, the surrounding diamonds could easily be recreated with CVD diamonds, making it a more sustainable and cost-effective option for modern brides.

5. Marilyn Monroe’s "Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend" Performance

Marilyn Monroe's iconic performance of “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” in the 1953 film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes cemented her place as a diamond icon. Draped in sparkling jewelry, she created a lasting image that continues to influence fashion and jewelry trends today.

CVD diamonds in Hollywood glamour? Absolutely. CVD diamond rings and jewelry can mimic the old Hollywood sparkle, allowing fans of classic glamour to enjoy diamond jewelry in a more accessible and sustainable way.

6. Meghan Markle’s Three-Stone Engagement Ring

When Prince Harry proposed to Meghan Markle, he presented her with a custom-designed three-stone diamond ring. The center stone is from Botswana, where the couple vacationed, and the side stones are from Princess Diana’s collection. The ring is both symbolic and deeply personal.

CVD diamonds in modern engagement rings? The three-stone design is timeless and can be beautifully replicated using CVD diamonds. In fact, a CVD diamond ring allows for the same sentimental and personalized designs that define today’s engagement jewelry.

Conclusion

Diamonds have been at the heart of some of the most memorable moments in history, symbolizing love, power, and glamour. Today, with the advent of CVD technology, diamonds are more accessible and sustainable than ever before. Whether you're inspired by the Hope Diamond or a modern celebrity engagement ring, a CVD diamond ring offers the beauty and brilliance of traditional diamonds with added benefits like affordability and ethical sourcing.
