i would love to hear all of your third toastbaby thoughts please and thank you, he sounds delightful 🥺

Ask and you shall receive!

I honestly didn't think anyone would be that interested, but here we are. This is my idea about a third toast baby.

With my ideas for all their kids' names, I like to incorporate plants and local wildlife. Brambell comes from both the plant brambles (blackberries) while keeping the structure of the name Bramwell. However, this evolves into the nickname Bluebell, which becomes just Blue (and also baby Blue). Angsty preteen Blue hates this and insists his name is Brambell, Mama.

In agreement with @paintedpeeta , I think he was absolutely not planned at all. He's very close in age to his brother, maybe just under two years younger. (Meanwhile, I think Everlark waited somewhere around four years between baby #1 and baby #2, since that's Katniss and Prim's age difference)

So the two brothers, once they're a bit bigger, are constantly squabbling and brawling. This is shocking to Katniss, who at eight years old wouldn't have dreamt of throwing hands with her darling four year old sister. Peeta, on the other hand, scruffs them like kittens like it's any regular Tuesday. (I think he and his brothers were closer in age, and therefore very physical when it came to childhood disagreements)

Outside of that, baby Blue is all about his mama. Katniss wore all 3 of her babies, but the first two were too squirmy to continue that practice into toddlerhood. Blue, on the other hand, is happy to cling to her back and whisper to her while she does chores. He's definitely the most clingy of their kids.

He's also the most shy! As he grows up, he stays quite soft-spoken, preferring to communicate in judgy looks (like his mother).

As he grows up, he also bears a startling resemblance to Katniss' father.

Essentially, Peeta jokes about how Katniss hit copy and paste with her genetics, and he still isn't entirely sure she didn't create a clone. Except for his curly hair! I think all 3 of their kids have Peeta's curls because they're just that stubborn.

When it comes to skills and things, I think he and his brother take the best to shooting. He's stealthier, but his brother is the better marksman (and is quite arrogant about it). Their sister, much like Prim, does not have the stomach for hunting. She loves animals too much.

And finally, once they're all grown up, he's their tallest child. I think all of their kids outgrow their Mama, but Blue is the only one that outgrows Peeta. Just by a hair. He's tall, thin, wiry, a good tree climber.

Anyway, thanks for reading all this! I think about him a lot, as you can tell. I hope you all enjoy him, too.

A Hard Day's Night (1964) Richard Lester

July 14th 2024

A Hard Day's Night (1964) Directed by Richard Lester

[ljblueteak]

"Paul Asks About White Australia: Beatle Paul McCartney yesterday showed an unexpected interest in the White Australia policy." From The Sydney Morning Herald, June 19, 1964.

Text of the article reads:

At a Press conference yesterday Paul was approached by a Nigerian journalist.

Paul said "Are you an aborginal?"

The journalist said he was from Nigeria.

Paul said: "I didn't think that Australia allowed coloured people to come in. I remember reading about this in geography in school which I failed, and I thought it was a bit off. I thought they were the only country in the world to do this. I saw you today and I thought: 'Hullo, we'll get onto the Government right away.'

The journalist said he was allowed to stay in Australia under certain conditions which included having a job.

He said Australia was host to more than 3,000 Asian students and he had found no discrimination whatsoever.

Paul said: "That is good because there is in Britain and in America."

He said that apart from kangaroos and koalas his biggest early impression of Australia had been "this white-only business."

"John and I were talking about it only this afternoon."

Harry H Corbett, Diana Dors, and Wilfrid Brambell in the second feature film adaptation of Steptoe and Son; Steptoe and Son Ride Again, released in July 1973.

It was directed by Australian-born Peter Sykes (1939-2006) whose other comedy for Nat Cohen-EMI was Frankie Howerd's House in Nightmare Park.

The second Steptoe feature copped a bit of a pasting from the critics, the principal objections being that some of the subtleties of the father-son relationship were lost and the humour was unnecessarily cruder.

It also didn't live up to the box-office success of its predecessor; writers Ray Galton and Alan Simpson speculated that the title was ambiguous and potentially confusing, and may have given the impression to audiences that it was a rerelease of the first Steptoe and Son feature from the previous year.

In 1973, Britain's film industry was described as 'in crisis, due to a combination of declining audiences, a weak dollar and lack of overseas investment. Anglo-EMI was the biggest studio operating in the country and was dubbed 'Britain's one man film industry'.'

Radio Times, 19 -25 February 1972 with Steptoe and Son, the most famous residents of Oil Drum Lane, getting the cover honours. Wilfrid Brambell (1912-1985) played Albert Steptoe and Harry H. Corbett (1925-1982) his son Harold Steptoe. Written by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson it originally ran from 1962 to 1965 and then returned to the screens in 1970. It did make me laugh but equally I always found it uncomfortable viewing with Harold kept too much of a prisoner by his father.

"When I first saw George, I thought he was extraordinarily good looking, very charming and, like me, very shy. He had an amazing sense of humour, not in a practical-joke-sort-of-way like Paul, but with words, in a very dry way.”🌸🌸

'A Hard Day's Night' with The Beatles at 60 on Max and Criterion Channel

In 1964, jukebox movies featuring pop stars weren’t supposed to last to the end of the month, let alone into the next century. But then, neither was the pop music itself. Apparently, no one told The Beatles or their director Richard Lester that when they made A Hard Day’s Night (1964), a fantasy ‘day in the life’ of four lads from Liverpool (John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo…

Quatermass II (BBC, 1955)

"Enemy territory ahead. Hard, unwinking stars. No atmosphere to deceive us. We're seeing them as they really are. And somewhere ahead... an object. Constructed, if it is constructed, by creatures whose very existence makes us fools. Somewhere. Boneless creatures able to make energy at will by changing their mass; able to transmit experience; to maintain power over other creatures."
