belated twelfth night appreciation post :)
-i was on sound crew, and i had pretty much zero experience with sound before this show so i learned a lot about that! i operated the sound board, which involved using faders to change the volume of microphones and pressing buttons for sound effects, and i also did stuff like put batteries in mics and headsets at the beginning of the day and take them out at the end, set up cables, and things like that. friday was opening night and therefore my first time running a show alone (during rehearsals there was always another crew member with more experience with me) and i was SO nervous at first, but it went super well!
-the whole opening night show went super well actually! the cast and crew all absolutely killed it (i did far better than i thought i would lol), and the audience was AWESOME! they laughed in all the right places and reacted a lot in general, which was great because an audience that reacts a lot is wayyy better than one that doesn’t
-there’s this one AWESOME scene where some characters are sword fighting and it’s super flashy and dramatic, and the audience LOVED it. watching that scene during rehearsals was thrilling enough but seeing it with an enthusiastically cheering crowd was absolutely exhilarating!!! i had this moment where i was like “yeah… this is really truly what i want to do for the rest of my life.” cliché maybe but idc it was a spectacular experience <333 while i don’t have any idea what specific jobs i’ll pursue in the future i definitely want to do theatre in some way or another! :]
-the AMAZING props crew created an AMAZING dragon puppet!!! it was pretty big as one actor carried it with his head inside of it, if that makes sense. seeing it come together was so cool - when i saw the final version i got distracted and literally trailed off midsentence and stared at it because it was so beautiful LMAO. it looked even better under the lights too! the orange fabric attached to its mouth was meant to look like fire, and it looked SO cool with lights :D
-there were several dance sequences too! one involved the dragon and had really upbeat energetic vibes, one was mysterious and dreamlike but also fairly energetic, and one was super haunting and evocative. the music was SOOO good too! we had a live musician onstage who played several different instruments, and a couple songs that the actors sung. i got some videos that i really wish i could post here </3
-the director wanted it to be not-traditionally-shakespeare, so there were some really fun contemporary elements! funky hairstyles, an abstract set, the original lyrics of the songs were kept but put on rock beats or sung to the tune of well-known pop songs or whatever, etc. it was totally not what you’d expect from a shakespeare play and yet somehow it worked really well! the costumes were an amazing blend of contemporary and old-fashioned too, like there was hot pink latex and glittery makeup and decorative chains but also feathered hats and puffed sleeves and realistic-looking swords :D
-the sheer amount of gender in the whole play is super fun lmao. viola is one of those characters who could easily be interpreted as trans in literally any direction at all and it would make perfect sense, feste’s costume and actor are both pretty feminine but he/him was used exclusively for the character, there’s certain moments that are just So Gender, etc etc. i’ve heard that it’s generally considered one of shakespeare’s queerest plays and i gotta say that is very true dkfdjfkd
-not only did i get to wear a headset but i also got to carry around a set of keys and use them to open locked doors and it made me feel sooo professional LOL
-the sound board was set up in a spot that was essentially in the audience (off to one side but there’s seats in front, behind, and on one side of the area it’s in, if that makes sense), which was a little awkward at first but quickly became fun! i’ve never worked a show from the audience before and it was actually really interesting to be so close to it and get a firsthand look at the reactions of people sitting near me. it was surprisingly intimate cause i’d learn what parts of the play struck certain people the most - one person always reacted the most to a certain character, another was particularly thrilled when two characters kissed, etc. i’ve thought a lot about how the audience is an integral part of any live performance, but this gave it a whole new fascinating angle!
-on friday someone i absolutely detest sat two seats away from me but i simply ignored him 😌
-my parents came to friday’s show too, and beforehand i showed them how i set everything up which was fun
-going back to what i was saying about audiences, each one has their own personality! for example, the show 1 audience laughed uproariously at a certain line but the show 2 audience “ohhh”-ed sympathetically at the exact same line, which was v interesting!
-actually i feel like twelfth night strikes this FASCINATING balance between comedy and tragedy in general! it’s predominantly a comedy, but there are certain moments that can be interpreted as funny or sad or both, and even whole characters and plotlines too
-the sibling stuff is SOOO…. my head is FULL of thoughts!
-i have tons of thoughts about various different aspects of the play, hopefully i will get around to posting them at some point
-all in all it was a really truly wonderful experience :)
now for the photos :3

Elliott's big adventure in Japan, day 2 - short(ish) version because I am drunk and tired 🍶✨️
👺Went to the kabuki theatre!!!!!! We saw two plays, a humorous one and a traditional epic dance one, with a super nice guide (thank you Kazui-san! and thanks again for the recommendation Shin!) The theater was so pretty! We even bought a bento box to eat during intermission! (if you've followed me for a while, you know how much I like kabuki, and I was really looking forward to this!)
Tumblr media
🍵Drank proper matcha with a wagashi pastry!! In a very beautiful posh teahouse next to a rooftop Japanese garden. It was raining, it was so so pretty. The tea was slightly bitter and very tasty.
Tumblr media
👘Went to the theatre wearing yukatas; a nice staff lady at the theatre fixed our obi belt knots and she was impressed when we said we made the knots ourselves XD
Tumblr media
⛩️Went to a very nice shintô shrine and received my first omamori charm! (for shrine and temple items, it is polite to say "receive" rather than "purchase"or "buy")
Tumblr media
🎏Also first gachapon!! It's the kabuki theatre's little cat mascot, that has the colors of the traditional kabuki curtain (red black and green)
Tumblr media
🗼Tokyo Tower!! You know, the Japanese knockoff Eiffel tower. I ate some tokayaki at a nearby food stall and burned my tongue like every time I eat takoyaki.
🏯Another Buddhist temple, we entered from the back so I thought it was small but NOOOOOO it was fucking GIGANTIC and had ROWS upon ROWS of Jiso statues (Buddhist deity dedicated to protecting young children, they are super cute and have little red aprons and winter hats and wind mills)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
👹Went to another Buddhist temple for Bon Odori! It is a celebration for the dead. Lots and lots of people were wearing yukatas and dancing in a circle around a stage with fun music, and tons of tiny food stalls (I bought a whole-ass fish on a skewer), and I ordered food by myself !!! (and I was so happy I completed the transaction in pseudo-Japanese that I fucking forgot to take the food. Watashi wa baka desu). And I complimented a lady on her cute kimono and hairdye all by myself! ("Excuse me... Kimono pretty! Sorry I don't speak Japanese. -points at hair- pretty! Thank you very much! Goodbye!" -runs away-)
🤗We sat at a table and Aime struck up a conversation with some locals and they even bought us a drink, and Aime was so so nice and translated things to French so I could follow the conversation and chime in too. Japanese people are super nice when they find tourists that speak Japanese ❤️
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aime-chan daisuki!!! Nihon daisuki!!!! ❤️ 🤗

Priscilla superfan Philmah Bocks has thoughts on new sequel
New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/priscilla-superfan-philmah-bocks-has-thoughts-on-new-sequel/
Priscilla superfan Philmah Bocks has thoughts on new sequel
One of Australia’s biggest Priscilla Queen of the Desert fans, drag queen Philmah Bocks, has weighed in on the upcoming sequel to the film and the legacy of the original 1994 film.
It’s the 30th anniversary of the 1994 drag classic The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert. The old girl has unexpectedly roared back into the headlines.
This month, the original Priscilla bus was found in country New South Wales.
Then, director Stephan Elliott surprised everyone by confirming a sequel with the original cast is in development.
‘This is going to change the face of drag’
Drag performers Philmah Bocks and JoJo Zaho (see below) travelled to film with Priscilla on the Northern Rivers farm where the bus was found.
Philmah talked with JOY 94.9 about the film’s legacy and its surprise sequel.
The drag queen said she vividly remembers first seeing the film and considers herself a “product of Priscilla“.
“I still have the advertisement from the local paper. It was a Bobby Goldsmith Foundation fundraising event on September 7, 1994,” Philmah said.
“I went and saw Priscilla at the Capri Theatre in Adelaide, dressed as Carmen Miranda.
“I distinctly remember thinking, this film is going to change the face of drag in Australia.
“The whole taboo of going to a drag club was quite big throughout the early 90s. All of a sudden, we were projected onto big screens and then eventually onto small screens.
“People finally understood the humanity behind being a drag queen. I think that was the big shift in people’s perspectives.”

What will a Priscilla Queen of the Desert sequel look like?
At the weekend, director Stephan Elliott said in an era of drag bans and Trumpian politics, now was the “perfect” time to do a Priscilla sequel.
He confirmed the cast would return for the new film, set both in Australia as well as overseas.
“You have to remember that Tick had a kid – now that kid has grown up and now he’s got his own family,” Stephan told The Guardian.
“I don’t want to repeat myself, so it’s taken me a long while to come up with something… There’s something that needs to be said about tolerance.”
Philmah Bocks told JOY 94.9 she has theories of what a Priscilla sequel could look like and where it could go.
“I think what’s going to happen is they’re going to introduce a new generation of characters that resonates with the current movement of drag,” she said.
“If they just centred the story around the three characters as they currently are, people will lose interest. I don’t think they’re current enough.
“My guess is that Terence Stamp, Hugo Weaving and Guy Pearce… won’t be pivotal to the central part of the story.”
“We’ve seen it happen with remakes and redos of classic films. Ghostbusters introduced younger characters to engage with the new audiences and the new generation, with the older characters for the diehard fans. Star Wars is another example.”
Philmah agreed, “The story is not finished. As much as we’ve celebrated our progression, we still have a long way to go.
“Drag is political, I think. There’s no way around that. It’s a statement in itself on so many levels. Some current messages need to be shared and put to a song and dance.”
Priscilla is an antidote to Americanised drag
Philmah Bocks said the original 1994 film has three secret weapons: the feelgood coming-out story between father and son, the disco soundtrack and Tim Chappell and Lizzie Gardner’s Oscar-winning costuming.
“Every time I come out on stage in a Gumby outfit or a thong dress, or something random or crazy on my head, I always see people smile,” she said.
“As soon as you see those costumes and hear that music, you’re taken straight to Priscilla. It’s not going away.
“I continue to celebrate it just for the joy it brings people and the history that it tells.”

That history is important, Philmah said, because of a “new wave” of Americanised drag.
“Without sounding like an old fart, I hang on to Priscilla to educate the children on where we’ve come from,” she said.
“There’s a bit of larrikinism that I still love about Aussie drag that I don’t necessarily see anywhere else. That’s iconic for our culture, and especially our drag culture.
“At the moment there’s a movement on what an American version of Australian drag should be.
“I love that the visibility and celebration of drag is much bigger now. But in that process, do we lose a bit of ourselves and our culture?
“That’s why I hang on to Priscilla so much because it’s part of my history, my culture, and certainly the generation before me.”

TV Guide  -  January 20 - 26, 1962
Kevin Joseph Aloysius "Chuck" Connors (April 10, 1921 – November 10, 1992) Film and television actor, writer, and professional basketball and baseball player. He is one of only 13 athletes in the history of American professional sports to have played both Major League Baseball (Brooklyn Dodgers 1949, Chicago Cubs, 1951) and in the National Basketball Association (Boston Celtics 1947–48). With a 40-year film and television career, he is best known for his five-year role as Lucas McCain in the highly rated ABC series The Rifleman 1958–63).
Connors had a rare comedic role in a 1955 episode ("Flight to the North") of Adventures of Superman. He portrayed Sylvester J. Superman, a lanky rustic yokel who shared the same name as the title character of the series.
Connors was cast as Lou Brissie, a former professional baseball player wounded during World War II, in the 1956 episode "The Comeback" of the religion anthology series Crossroads. Don DeFore portrayed the Reverend C. E. "Stoney" Jackson, who offered the spiritual insight to assist Brissie's recovery so that he could return to the game. Grant Withers was cast as Coach Whitey Martin; Crossroads regular Robert Carson also played a coach in this episode. Edd Byrnes, Rhys Williams, and Robert Fuller played former soldiers. X Brands is cast as a baseball player.
He also became a lovable television character actor, guest-starring in dozens of shows. His guest-starring debut was on an episode of NBC's Dear Phoebe. He played in two episodes, one as the bandit Sam Bass, on Dale Robertson's NBC western Tales of Wells Fargo.
Other television appearances were on Hey, Jeannie!, The Loretta Young Show, Schlitz Playhouse, Screen Directors Playhouse, Four Star Playhouse, Matinee Theatre, Cavalcade of America, Gunsmoke, The Gale Storm Show, The West Point Story, The Millionaire, General Electric Theater hosted by Ronald Reagan, Wagon Train, The Restless Gun with John Payne, Murder, She Wrote, Date with the Angels with Betty White, The DuPont Show with June Allyson, The Virginian, Night Gallery hosted by Rod Serling, and Here's Lucy with Lucille Ball.
As Connors was strongly typecast for playing the firearmed rancher-turned-single-father, he then starred in several short-lived series, including: ABC's Arrest and Trial (1963–1964), an early forerunner of Law and Order featuring two young actors Ben Gazzara and Don Galloway, NBC's post-Civil War-era series Branded (1965–1966) and the 1967–1968 ABC series Cowboy in Africa, alongside British actor Ronald Howard and Tom Nardini. Connors guest-starred in a last-season episode of Night Gallery titled  "The Ring With the Red Velvet Ropes". In 1973 and 1974 he hosted a television series called Thrill Seekers.
In 1983, Connors joined Sam Elliott, Cybill Shepherd, Ken Curtis and Noah Beery, Jr. in the short-lived NBC series The Yellow Rose, about a modern Texas ranching family. In 1985, he guest-starred as "King Powers" in the ABC TV series Spenser: For Hire, starring Robert Urich. In 1987, he co-starred in the Fox series Werewolf, as drifter Janos Skorzeny. In 1988, he guest-starred as "Gideon" in the TV series Paradise, starring Lee Horsley.   (Wikipedia)

EXPERIENCE
1914 / 1915
Tumblr media
Experience is a three-act play modern morality play by George V. Hobart featuring incidental music by Max Bendix and cabaret music by Silvio Hein. It was originally produced by William Elliott, and staged by J.C. Huffman and Mr. Hobart. 
Tumblr media
George Vere Hobart (1867-1926) was a Canadian-American humorist who authored more than 50 musical comedy librettos and plays as well as novels and songs.  His better-known stage plays include Our Mrs. McChesney cowritten with Edna Ferber, Miss Prinnt, Sonny; Hitchy-Koo of 1919, Buddies, and Sweet Sixteen. At the time of his death, Hobart was considered "one of America's most popular humorists and playwrights".
The play was developed from a one-act performed by the Lamb’s Club at the Metropolitan Opera House. It was fleshed out into three acts and ten scenes. 
The play is an allegory in the style of “Everyman”. Characters have representative names like Experience, Love, Youth, Pleasure, Despair, Passion, etc. 
In ten unusual and spectacular episodes, "Experience" tell the love story of Youth, the average young man of today, and the adventures he meets when he leaves his home in the country and goes to the big city to make a name for himself. The temptations that he meets are represented by beautiful young girls, who are called by the names of the various vices and virtues they portray in the play. Among the scenes is the Primrose Path of Pleasure in which the gay night life of a great city is shown at its best or possibly worst. In the Corridors of Chance scene a modern gambling house is shown in full operation with every known gaming device actually being played before the audience. In the House of Lost Souls scene the terrible effects of drugs on human beings are shown.
Rehearsals began in early September at the Lyric Theatre NYC. 
Tumblr media
Experience opened at Nixon’s Apollo Theatre in Atlantic City on September 28, 1914. The play was first announced to premiere in Syracuse NY. 
Tumblr media
Experience opened on Broadway at the Booth Theatre on October 27, 1914. 
About the Venue: Built in 1911 by Winthrop Ames and Lee Shubert, it was named after another Booth Theatre in which Ames' father invested. After Ames' retirement in 1932, the Shuberts leased it for fifteen years, then purchased it in 1948. It is still in operation today.
“Here is a wholesome play that isn't namby-pamby; A clean play with a terrific punch; A play that calls a spade a spade without a trait of salaciousness; A play whose lights are as lurid in the depths as they are glowing on the heights yet which, withal, is a play for every season of life; a retrospect for age, a fact for maturity, a promise for youth. Preachers seldom make good dramatists. He who would inculcate a moral usually inculcates his audience out of the theatre. Yet here is a man who preaches, and teaches, and counsels, yet thrillingly entertains.”  ~ CLINTON T. BRAINARD
Tumblr media
The play moved to the Casino Theatre (1404 Broadway at 39th Street) on January 11, 1915. 
About the Venue: Built for light musicals and operetta, the Casino showed mostly "polite vaudeville" starting in 1892. In 1903 the Shuberts acquired the lease. A 1905 a fire necessitated much reconstruction. In February of 1930, the theatre was demolished to make room for the expanding garment district.
“There were grave doubts, on the part of old-timers who in more than a quarter-century had seen nothing but melodic pieces on the Casino stage, that a spoken drama would succeed. These doubters should have been in the vicinity of the Casino at 8 o’clock on the evening of the play’s opening there. Perhaps some of them were, and if they were, their dubiousness must have been blown to atoms. A line of more than 200 persons faced the box office, and once the show was on the actors confronted the great spaces of the Casino on all three levels packed to capacity with eager and enthusiastic humanity.” ~ PASSAIC DAILY NEWS
In March 1915, the play was issued in book form by the H.K. Fly Publishing Company, complete with 15 engravings of scenes from the play. 
Tumblr media
Experience moved a third time to Maxine Elliott’s Theatre (109 West 39th Street) on May 3, 1915.
About the Venue: Lee Shubert sold actress Maxine Elliott the land for this theatre in exchange for fifty-percent interest in it - making Elliott one of the only female managers. It was leased to the Federal Theatre in 1936. In 1941, it became a radio station and, later, a television studio. In 1956, Elliott's heirs sold her share to the Shuberts, who then sold the property. It was demolished in 1960.
Experience closed there on June 5, 1915 with a total of 255 performances. Based on its success, Hobart wrote another allegorical play titled Why?, which was also premiered by the Lamb’s. Unfortunately, it never got any further. 
Tumblr media
On January 22, 1918, the play was revived at the Manhattan Opera House. The creative team was the same as the 1914 production. It ran 23 performances. It was the culmination of a national tour.

Leon (my friends farmer oc) literally just calls Harvey dad, Harvey is used to it and does respond to it
Sam Sebastian and Abigail sometimes climb up trees for no good reason just to sit there and do nothing for an hour or so
If Sam ever got his hands on a trampoline he would drag Seb onto it and launch his twink ass 50ft into the air with no regrets
When Sam visits the city he always sees this raccoon that he feeds, its like his best friend, one time it followed him back to pelican town and let itself into Sams room, he had to hide it from Jodi and did so successfully, Sam named it Tom
As much as i love him, we all know Seb used to have an edgy gacha phase that he cant live down

In addition to the last hc, Seb gives really tight affectionate hugs that make people warm really quick

Today we remember the passing of Jerry Jeff Walker who Died: October 23, 2020 in Austin, Texas
Jerry Jeff Walker was an American country music singer and songwriter. He is best known for writing the 1968 song "Mr. Bojangles".
Walker was born in Oneonta, New York. His maternal grandparents played for square dances in the Oneonta area, with his grandmother, Jessie Conroe, playing piano, and grandfather playing fiddle. During the late 1950s, Crosby was a member of a local Oneonta teen band called The Tones.
The band traveled to Philadelphia to audition for Dick Clark's American Bandstand, but were turned down. Members of the band found Dick Clark's house and were able to get a recommendation to audition at New York City's Baton Records through the company's lead producer Sol Rabinowitz. The band was given a recording contract, but the studio wanted a quintet backed by studio musicians, which left Crosby and another member (Gerald T. Russell) out of their recordings.
After high school, Crosby joined the National Guard, but his thirst for adventure led him to go AWOL and roam the country busking for a living in New Orleans and throughout Texas, Florida, and New York, often accompanied by H.R. Stoneback (a friendship referenced in 1970's "Stoney"). He played mostly ukulele until Harriet Ottenheimer, one of the founders of The Quorum, got him settled on a guitar in 1963. He adopted his stage name "Jerry Jeff Walker" in 1966.
He spent his early folk music days in Greenwich Village in the mid-1960s. He co-founded a band with Bob Bruno in the late-1960s called Circus Maximus that put out two albums, one with the popular FM radio hit "Wind", but Bruno's interest in jazz apparently diverged from Walker's interest in folk music. Walker thus resumed his solo career and recorded the seminal 1968 album Mr. Bojangles with the help of David Bromberg and other influential Atlantic recording artists. He settled in Austin, Texas, in the 1970s, associating mainly with the outlaw country scene that included artists such as Michael Martin Murphey, Willie Nelson, Guy Clark, Waylon Jennings, and Townes Van Zandt.
A string of records for MCA and Elektra followed Jerry Jeff's move to Austin, Texas, before he gave up on the mainstream music business and formed his own independent record label. Tried & True Music was founded in 1986, with his wife Susan as president and manager. Susan also founded Goodknight Music as his management company and Tried & True Artists for his bookings. A series of increasingly autobiographical records followed under the Tried & True imprint. Tried & True also sells his autobiography, Gypsy Songman. In 2004, Jerry Jeff released his first DVD of songs from his past as performed in an intimate setting in Austin.
Walker married Susan Streit in 1974 in Travis County, Texas. They had two children: a son, Django Walker, who is also a musician, and a daughter Jessie Jane. Walker has a retreat on Ambergris Caye in Belize, where he recorded his Cowboy Boots and Bathing Suits album in 1998. Walker also made a guest appearance on Ramblin' Jack Elliott's 1998 album of duets Friends of Mine, singing "He Was a Friend of Mine" and Woody Guthrie's "Hard Travelin.'"
Walker recorded songs written by others such as "LA Freeway" (Guy Clark), "Up Against the Wall Red Neck Mother" (Ray Wylie Hubbard), "(Looking for) The Heart of Saturday Night" (Tom Waits) and "London Homesick Blues" (Gary P. Nunn). He also interpreted the songs of others such as Rodney Crowell, Townes Van Zandt, Paul Siebel, Bob Dylan, Todd Snider, Dave Roberts, and even a rodeo clown named Billy Jim Baker. Some have called Jerry Jeff the Jimmy Buffett of Texas. It was Jerry Jeff who first drove Jimmy Buffett to Key West (from Coconut Grove, Florida in a Packard). Walker and Buffett also co-wrote the song "Railroad Lady" while riding the last run of the Panama Limited.
Walker had an annual birthday celebration in Austin at the Paramount Theatre and at Gruene Hall in Gruene, Texas. This party became an enormous event in Texas and brought some of the biggest names in country music out for a night of picking and swapping stories under the Austin skyline. Jimmy Buffett attended the 2004 birthday bash.
On June 25, 2019, The New York Times Magazine listed Jerry Jeff Walker among hundreds of artists whose material was reportedly destroyed in the 2008 Universal Studios fire.
Walker was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2017 and passed away on Friday, October 23 2020 from cancer-related complications.

dude, could you give me movie recommendations then??
mainly i said i should stop giving recommendations because my movie tastes and opinions are Wack sbshjsbjhsbs but i will make an exception <3
i mostly just scoured my letterboxd (@/eroscalling ;] ) for movies i’ve really liked in the past year or two so sorry if you’ve seen some sbshjsbsh a lot of brain worms here sbsjhbshs
❥ freaked (1993)
it was inevitable that something alex winter and/or keanu reeves would show up on here but HERE ME OUT !!! you may think to yourself in the first ten minutes that ‘WOW this is terrible’ and you’d be right because the comedy IS awful except. it’s SO awful you have to laugh. and THEN it gets better from there, i swear. there’s the dichotomy within ricky over being himself AND a monster, some found family, and a happy (yet still hilarious) ending to it all. it’s quite insanity inducing 
[actual description: child star ricky coogan is interviewed on the story of him flying out to a small country in south america to help promote a fertilizer that’s been banned in the US, only to end up at a desolate freak show with his two companions (one new, one old) and have to find a means of escape after a mad scientist has turned them into attractions themselves]
———
❥ private romeo (2011)
another one i’ve been kinda back on my bullshit about sbshjsbsh but it’s SO good !!! i’m sure there are other gay romeo & juliet adaptations out there but this one is just. amazing and sets itself apart from all of the others. seth numrich and matt doyle’s acting and chemistry? IMMACULATE !!! pretty early on the dialogue switches from modern speech to recitation of lines from the play but everyone’s body language and interpersonal relationships with one another really SELL the plot and help you understand it, even if the words are a bit difficult for the average person to comprehend (also it was the film yassen and i got together because of so sbshjbshs)
[actual description: one weekend, the higher ranking officers and a few top qualified students at a military academy go on a training retreat, leaving a decent sized group of students at the academy unsupervised and with their copies of romeo & juliet they’re beginning to read in their english/literature class; as the weekend progresses, two students, sam and glenn, begin to realize that their feelings for each other have bloomed and progressed, causing them to do their best to stay together]

❥ the personal history of david copperfield (2019)
I JUST THINK THIS MOVIE (and dev patel) IS NEAT !!! i have no basis on how it compares to other adaptations or the book but i reallyyyy like this one as it is !!!  i think the dynamic transitions in the timeline and the coloring work REALLY well in moving the plot forward and making every character, or at least every event in david’s life, very unique and stand out from each other. and i LOVE the cast... love the inclusion of at least a Few actors of color and just the way everyone plays off each other... it’s just so wholesome and the adventure really grips you every second
[actual description: following the publishing of his book, autobiographer david copperfield reads it aloud in front of a theatre audience, detailing the shenanigans and relationships he’s grown up with and how they’ve affected, creating the person that he is today]

❥ billy elliot (2000)
everyone say thank you to young jamie bell for your rights. yeah no this movie is SO heart-clenching AND heartfelt... at first you’re just like ‘yeah, you know, this is alright’ but then it punches you in the feels... just... billy’s journey to find something he’s passionate about and actively pursuing that passion... his relationship with michael and his family... the general atmosphere created by the hardships at the time and how they reflect on the elliotts’ home life... the only reason i haven’t gotten around to rewatching it is because i know it will make me SOB...
[actual description: young billy elliott is the son of a miner in northern england during the mid 80s, dealing with how the miners’ strikes his father and brother are partaking in are affecting their financial situation while simultaneously coming to terms with a small interest in ballet and trying to chase that interest, in spite of what his father and society have to say about it]

❥ the half of it (2020)
yes another gay film and another coming of age film <3 what of it <3 it’s so good and unconvential though... it’s not your typical nerdy girl and jock get together at ALL— spoiler: it’s no where close to even being a plot point. paul and ellie’s friendship is !!! so beautiful though !!! there’s so much trust and platonic love there !!! and also !!! a chinese MC which, as we all know, is very rare in hollywood, especially under uh ellie’s ‘circumstances’... it’s yet another heart-clencher and is just very feel good...
[actual description: realizing he has a crush on one of the most popular girls in school, young paul turns to the girl in his grade who everyone pays to write their essays for them, as he’s not the most eloquent writer himself, and asks if she’ll help him write his crush love letters to win her affection; ellie is at first reluctant, but eventually realizes the money could help keep her and her father afloat, finding some feelings of her own along the way]
———
❥ the farewell (2019)
i was going to stop at five but i couldn’t decide between this or the half of it so you get both !!! the farewell is soooo sweet and tear-jerking... you get a real sense of the main family’s bond and love for each other, as well as a bit of a culture shock if, like me, you’re a westerner who doesn’t know the full extent of the intricacies of chinese families and the culture in general. every character is unique and dynamic, each having wonderful portrayals of their individual flaws and reactions to every step of the journey that they’re going through. not to mention, i would assume a lot of first gen / children of immigrants can really relate to billi’s experience of basically having two halves of herself, the american side and the chinese side, and the struggles that come from being thrown into that situation... it’s just... Perfect
[actual description: billi is a young woman in her 20s who is having trouble managing her life, only to have to put it on hold when her parents reluctantly tell her that her grandmother has been diagnosed with lung cancer and that the family is going to come together in case this is their last opportunity to; the twist is that they all must keep it a secret from the grandmother that she is even sick, which is a secret billi has a hard time keeping]

NATALIE SCHAFER
November 5, 1900
Tumblr media
Natalie Schafer was born in 1900 in Red Bank, New Jersey, although some sources say New York City. She is best remembered as Lovey Howell, the millionaire’s wife, on “Gilligan’s Island.” 
Tumblr media
Schafer began her career as an actress on Broadway appearing in 17 plays between 1927 and 1959 including runs in Lady in the Dark (1941–42, above), The Doughgirls (1942–44), and Romanoff and Juliet (1957–58).  
Tumblr media
In 1941 she started doing films with The Body Disappears starring Jane Wyman and featuring “Lucy” players Edward Everett Horton and Dick Elliott. 
Tumblr media
She re-teamed with Horton for her TV debut in 1948 with an episode of the anthology series “Chevrolet Tele-Theatre”. 
Tumblr media
In 1954, Schafer made her only appearance on “I Love Lucy” in “The Charm School” (ILL S3;E15). Lucy and Ethel visit Phoebe Emerson Charm School for a free Beauty Analysis and CQ (Charm Quotient) check-up. Miss Emerson  grades on four points: skin & make-up, hair, voice, and posture.
Tumblr media
Lucy and Ethel are then put through an exercise and posture regimen. Sadly, much of the scene was cut in the final edit. Only still photos remain. The week before this episode first aired, Schafer made an appearance on CBS TV’s "Topper” as a character named (coincidentally) Mrs. Vance. 
Tumblr media
Two years later Schafer co-starred in Lucy and Desi’s film Forever, Darling (1956) as Millie Opdyke. The film also featured her ex-husband, Louis Calhern and another future sitcom star Nancy Kulp, who also played a maid on “I Love Lucy”. Kulp went on to create the role of bank secretary (like Lucille Ball herself) Jane Hathaway on “The Beverley Hillbillies” on CBS. 
Tumblr media
In April 1964, Schafer re-teamed with Kulp as guest-starred on “The Beverly Hillbillies” playing dress shop owner Madame Renee. The episode also featured Tropicana maître ‘d Maurice Marsac. 
Tumblr media
In 1960, she was back at Desilu Studios to film an episode of ABC’s  “Guestward Ho!”, a series that was originally supposed to star Vivian Vance.
Tumblr media
On September 26, 1964, Schafer first played the role she would forever be identified with, Mrs. Howell on “Gilligan’s Island” appearing in all 99 episodes of the original series (including the un-aired pilot), which completed its run on Boxing Day 1966.  The character of Ginger, the movie star castaway, was described during casting as a combination of Lucille Ball and Marilyn Monroe. Series creator Sherwood Schwartz was a Lucy fan. His brother Elroy Schwartz actually wrote scripts for Lucille Ball.  
Lucille Ball also employed many of the denizens of “Gilligan’s Island”: Alan Hale Jr., Janos Prohaska, Mel Blank, June Foray, Vitto Scotti, Hans Conried, John McGiver, Phil Silvers, Don Rickles, Stanley Adams, Roy Calhoun, Strother Martin, Herb Vigran, John Gabriel, and Sandra Gould. 
Tumblr media
Schafer returned to the character for each of its future iterations: 
“The New Adventures of Gilligan” (1974)
“Rescue from Gilligan's Island” (1978) 
“The Castaways on Gilligan's Island” (1979)
“The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island” (1981) 
“Gilligan's Planet” (1982)
Tumblr media
In 1972 she did a guest shot on “Mannix”. The series was originally produced by Desilu. In 1971, “Here’s Lucy” featured Mannix (Mike Connors). 
Tumblr media
Her final screen appearance was in the TV film I’m Dangerous Tonight, released just months before her death. 
Tumblr media
Schafer was married to actor Louis Calhern from 1933 to 1942; they had no children. Calhern had worked with Lucille Ball in The Affairs of Cellini (1934) and Forever, Darling (1956). 
Tumblr media
Although her contract included forbid close-ups, she insisted that her obituary disclose her real age. She said she wanted people to say "she was HOW old?!”
Natalie Schafer died in 2001. She was 90 years old.

Radio (2009): Lowrie & Albert
By permission of the estate of Dame Jean Conan Doyle
Tumblr media
The Seattle-based radio station AM 880 KIXI regularly broadcasts a programme called “The Imagination Theatre” – a series of modern radio dramas originally produced by Jim French Productions. Other than the BBC, they were the only ones to adapt every single one of the 60 Sherlock Holmes stories. After finishing “The Classic Adventures of Sherlock Holmes”, they continued to broadcast new, original stories written by the same author who had adapted every single canon story by himself, M.J. Elliott, as “The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes”.
Ever since they started recording Sherlock Holmes stories in March 1998, the same two actors have been playing Holmes and Watson: John Patrick Lowrie and Lawrence “Larry” Albert. When Jim French Productions had to close down in 2017, the team decided to fund themselves via a Kickstarter campaign, and is now still recording new stories for their newly founded own production company Aural Visions, LLC.
Albert Lowrie and the radio personality Jim French himself, additionally to their radio work, have been involved as voice actors in quite a lot of video games, which may be an interesting listening experience to players of, for example, Team Fortress 2, Dota 2, Left 4 Dead, or Half-Life 2.
Technically Lowrie and Albert now are the longest running duo to be Holmes and Watson on the radio – however, for some reason they don’t seem to be as popular as the other pairs I’ve already written about (x).
Their adaptation of The Three Garridebs originally aired on February 15, 2009. And, what can I say, it is a solid adaptation.
The story opens with Watson quoting the opening lines from the books – omitting the comedy-or-tragedy line, but we’re coming back to this one later. Watson’s narration is inserted into the story whenever it is necessary to set the scene, like for the description of Nathan Garrideb’s rooms.
They have slightly updated the language, although not to the extent of a Merrison-Williams-episode, and added some bits here and there. I caught myself laughing when Holmes mentions that if you can lay your hands on a Garrideb, there is money in it, Watson’s first reaction is to ponder about how he’d strategically use this money to bet on the next horse race.
WATSON: Three Garridebs, three Gables, three students ... all our troubles seem to come in threes! HOLMES: Save for the Sign of Four ... 
Listening to Lowrie as Holmes, it feels like he is channeling Basil Rathbone to quite a large extent. That’s not a bad thing, it’s just quite noticeable.
Lowrie and Albert act together quite well, but I can’t put my finger on it, it doesn’t feel like their Holmes and Watson are particularly close. Holmes moves through the “action” bits of the story very quickly, leaving Watson completely in the dark re his thought processes. Not a single one of Holmes’ supicions or hunches gets explained while the case is still on-going, like, why Holmes knew John Garrideb had been in England for a while, how he knew Nathan Garrideb was a legit Garrideb, etc. – even the reveal that John Garrideb was actually called James Winter is something Holmes only explains when they are already confronting the man after the break-in!
Taking all these little breather moments out of their original place makes the plot that leads to Watson getting shot feel really rushed. They changed the order of quite a lot of events – even putting the entire explanation of why Evans broke into Nathan’s room, and what his business is regarding Prescott’s printing plates before him shooting at Watson and Holmes! Those are some quite odd choices.
After the fact, we get all the explanations we (and Watson) have been missing so far in quite a long scene, where Holmes and Watson are in 221b, and Holmes is just sitting there, explaining all the missing bits and pieces. Watson chimes in occasionally, but structuring the story like that makes him look quite stupid and useless. 
(I am honestly surprised this got greenlit by the estate, just having found an interview where Dame Jean calls out Nigel Bruce for his “appalling” portrayal of Watson as a fool that Holmes would never have shared rooms with (x) – because, at least in this story, Albert’s Watson appears to be quite like that ...)
As Watson is still quite weak and recovering from his injuries, Holmes not only makes him tea, but offers to write up the story for him. Which... may be a thing they had previously established in other stories and I may not be aware of why this is a thing, but again, it seems like an odd addition.
The story ends with Watson summarising the case, using the missing opening line, “it may have been a comedy, or it may have been a tragedy”, but no mentioning of him seeing the great heart as well as the great brain.
As I said, it is a solid adaptation of the canon material, but – in my opinion – not a particularly memorable one.

ET: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982); AFI #24
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The next film on the AFI list is one of the most financially successful movies of all time, the classic ET: The Extra Terrestrial (1982). The film won four technical awards for music and effects, but all of the production and acting awards that year went to the extremely strong competition of Ghandi and Sophie’s Choice. The film was in theatres for an extraordinary amount of time and was far and away the greatest financial success of all the movies that came out that year. I have a bit of a history with this movie, but I want to go over the plot synopsis first:
SPOILER ALERT!!!
The movie opens immediately on aliens waddling around in the forest and doing what looks like farming or collecting plant samples. These things scared the crap out of me as a child because I did not get that a PG rated family film meant that this was not likely to go towards the horrific. These aliens are surprised by some government agents and, in their haste to escape, the aliens leave one of the crew on the planet. 
We meet the family that is made up of a recently divorced mom named Mary (Dee Wallace), older brother Michael (Robert McNaughton), baby sister Gertie (Drew Barrymore), and middle brother Elliot (Henry Thomas). Elliot goes out to pick up a delivered pizza outside the house and runs into the abandoned alien. He tells his family but nobody believes him. They next day he leaves out candy to catch whatever it was that he saw and successfully lures the being into the house and up to his room. Elliot pretends to be sick and stays home to take care of the new pet, basically. When his brother and sister return from school, they are both introduced to the alien (lots of little girl and alien screaming) but they decide to all keep the alien a secret. As they interact with the alien, the three kids realize that this creature will likely want to go home. The next day, Elliot goes to school but has established so kind of psychic link with the alien and the two share emotions. This gets Elliot into trouble and he is sent home from school after a debacle with a class frog dissection.  
The alien learns some basic language from Gertie and a Speak and Spell toy as Elliot is brought back from school. The alien is dubbed ET by Elliot, and the two try and figure out how the alien can contact his ship for a pick up. It becomes apparent that the bond between Elliot and ET as the boy starts referring to the alien as we. It also appears that ET has declining health and needs to get back to his space ship.
On Halloween, Michael and Elliott dress E.T. as a ghost so they can sneak him out of the house. That night, Elliott and E.T. head through the forest, where they make a successful call home. The next day, Elliott wakes up in the field, only to find E.T. gone. Elliott returns home to his distressed family. Michael searches for and finds E.T. dying next to a drain. Michael takes E.T. home to Elliott, who is also dying. Mary becomes frightened when she discovers her son's illness and the dying alien, just as government agents invade the house. Scientists set up a hospital at the house, questioning Michael, Mary and Gertie while treating Elliott and E.T. Their connection disappears and E.T. then appears to die while Elliott recovers. A grief-stricken Elliott is left alone with the motionless E.T. when he notices a dead chrysanthemum, a plant E.T. had previously revived, coming back to life. E.T. reanimates and reveals that his people are returning. Elliott and Michael steal a van that E.T. had been loaded into and a chase ensues, with Michael's friends joining them as they attempt to evade the authorities by bicycles. Suddenly facing a police roadblock, they escape as E.T. uses telekinesis to lift the group into the air and toward the forest.
Standing near the spaceship, E.T.'s heart glows as he prepares to return home. Mary and Gertie show up and E.T. says goodbye to Michael and Gertie, as she presents him with the chrysanthemum that he had revived. Before boarding the spaceship, ET embraces Elliott and tells him "I'll be right here", pointing his glowing finger to Elliott's forehead. He then picks up the chrysanthemum, boards the spaceship, and it takes off, leaving a rainbow in the sky as everyone watches it leave. 
It feels like a really short movie because the pacing is fantastic, but it is a feature length (almost 2 hour) film. This was one of the, if not the, first 80s kid adventure films (like Goonies) that inspired things today like the movie Super 8 or the Netflix show Stranger Things. There was some talk of a sequel to ET right after it came out, but thankfully that was canned by Spielberg. He was rich enough that he wasn’t making films for money even back in the early 80s. 
When I saw this film in theatres as a very young child, the aliens scared the crap out of me. Through some research, I found out that the movie was at one time considered as a flat out horror film in which a group of aliens terrorizes a family. Instead, Spielberg used his own life to inspire the story as his parents divorced when he was Elliot’s age and he had a make believe friend. I think it was a better choice and the box office returns tell me that others agree.
One thing that really stands out with this film was the special effects done by Industrial Light and Magic (ILM). The company was basically founded to make Star Wars and has since been putting out the best special effects in the business, about 40 years now. This group did the effects for all the Indiana Jones films, all of the Star Wars films, all of the Jurassic Park films, all of the Harry Potter films, all of the Marvel cinematic universe films, the Transformers films, and the Terminator films. I was watching the famous flying bicycle scene which is shown on all the posters and it still holds up. No wonder I was scared as a kid, it is really not difficult to imagine the aliens being real. 
I have mentioned it before for Jaws and Raiders of the Lost Ark, but I will say again the part of the success of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg lies in the musical talent of John Williams. The score on this film is superb. The action escape music for ET, especially during the flying bike scenes, is some of the most recognizable music in cinema history. Absolutely beautiful score.
There are not a whole lot of family films on the AFI top 100, but of the ones that are present, this is the best in my opinion. I absolutely recommend it and believe it is great for anybody over about 6 years of age. I actually got a couple questions regarding why it was on the top 100 American movies as it only won technical awards and none of the actors were nominated for Academy awards. I was more than a little surprised at this. Besides the 4 awards it did win, the film was also nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Editing, Best Cinematography, and Best Screenplay; it just went up against the awards juggernaut which was Ghandi. The director of that film, David Attenborough, famously said that he thought that ET would win and that it deserved to win for being so innovative. The movie is a standout in a year of fantastic films. When adjusted for inflation, it is one of the top 5 most financially successful films ever made. This is a great film and absolutely deserves such a high spot on the list. It should be required viewing for schools and it was a pleasure to have a reason to go back and watch it again.
