I don't think we change per se, as much as we just...learn to accept who we've always been, you know?

Random question of the week, which State Alchemist is a commissioned officer and which isn't?

I haven't seen anything that outright tells us this information, in either the anime, the anime, or guides, but I think there's a way to tell... by how they dress and how they're addressed.

We know for sure that Roy Mustang, Alex Armstrong, and Basque Grand are commissioned officers (aka they went through the officers academy). We also know for sure that Edward Elric, and Shou Tucker aren't commissioned officers.

Ed and Shou Tucker are never called Major, while Mustang, Armstrong, and Grand are always addressed by their rank. We also never see Ed or Shou Tucker in uniform, while it's rare to see Mustang, Armstrong, and Grand out of it (usually when off work or undercover).

From the above we can get the following information:

The commissioned State Alchemists always wear the uniform when on the clock. Civilian State Alchemists don't.

The commissioned State Alchemists are addressed by rank. The civilian state alchemists are addressed by title or name.

From this information we can guess the status of the other State Alchemists:

Tim Marcoh: Civilian. He's ALWAYS addressed as Dr. Marcoh or by his State Alchemist title. Not once in Ishval is he called Major Marcoh. He does wear the uniform when in Ishval but it seems this is only a requirement when deployed in war. See Comanche.

Giolio Comanche: Civilian. He's also never addressed as Major. In fact Hughes refers to him as old man Comanche during Ishval. He's also seen wearing civilian clothes when fighting Scar.

Solf J. Kimblee: commissioned officer later civilian. This is the most interesting case and the one that made me think of this. Unlike Marcoh and Comanche he was addressed as Major Kimblee during Ishval. But once he's released from prison we see him in civilian clothes and he's addressed as Mr Kimble or Crimson Lotus. I believe he went through the academy but lost his commission during his Court Martial after Ishval. However, Roy Mustang points out that Kimblee is still a State Alchemist, even if he's in prison. So while he was stripped of his military commission (by the Court Martial Office), Bradley, who is the only one with the authority to appoint and dismiss State Alchemists, decided not to revoke his State Alchemist title.

Quite interesting... And we know why he did that once Envy releases Kimblee to hunt Scar down. They were definitely saving him for a crisis.

Dread by the Decade: I Walked with a Zombie

👻 You can support me on Ko-Fi! ❤️

★★★½

Plot: After arriving on Saint Sebastian to care for a plantation owner's catatonic wife, a young nurse seeks aid for her patient from local Vodou practitioners.

Review: Though dated and sometimes lacking in its handling of racial politics, this remains a mysterious and brooding exploration of family conflict and colonial rule.

Source Material: I Walked with a Zombie by Inez Wallace and Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë Year: 1943 Genre: Occult, Psychological Horror Country: United States Language: English Runtime: 1 hour 9 minutes

Director: Jacques Tourneur Writers: Curt Siodmak, Ardel Wray Cinematographer: J. Roy Hunt Editor: Mark Robson Composer: Roy Webb Cast: Frances Dee, Tom Conway, James Ellison, Theresa Harris, Edith Barrett, James Bell, Christine Gordon, Sir Lancelot

-----

Story: 3.5/5 - Tense, dark, and layered. Flawed in its handling of racism and inaccurate (but not vilifying) in its depiction of Vodou, it is still shockingly progressive for its era, condemning slavery and acknowledging colonialism.

Performances: 4/5 - Realistic and evocative, with everyone—especially Dee and Barrett—portraying deeply flawed characters well.

Cinematography: 4/5 - Ranges from solid to gorgeous. Some excellent night shots.

Editing: 4/5 - Fluid and tight.

Music: 4/5 - Minimal with great use of drums.

Effects & Props: 4/5

Sets: 3.5/5 - Some outdoor sets are obviously fake, but the sugar cane field is very memorable.

Costumes, Hair, & Make-Up: 4/5 - Subtle but well executed.

Trigger Warnings:

Very mild violence

Antiblack racism (minimal for the era; black characters are humanized but restricted to servant roles, white characters are centralized, and white people sometimes speak condescendingly about black people and their faith, though some of this is later subverted and criticized)

Colonialism (critical)

Alcoholism

Ableism against mentally ill people (dialogue only)

"Three years ago I came to Florida without a nickel in my pocket. Now I've got a nickel in my pocket."

The Cocoanuts, 1929.

[irregularincidents]

While the shadow Senator Joseph McCarthy left over the latter half of the 20th century in the United States is largely unavoidable, what is less well known are the circumstances under which his infamous witch hunts under the umbrellas of the Red and Lavender Scares (where he pursued people with real or imagined communist or lgbtq leanings) came to a close.

This itself is a story with several contributing factors.

McCarthy's Chief Counsel was a lawyer by the name of Roy Cohn (on the right on the main image, McCarthy on the left), a virulent anti-communist who was also the chief prosecutor for the Rosenburg Spy Case (arguing successfully for their executions despite even J Edgar Hoover thinking executing a mother with two young children would be unpopular). He was also a closeted homosexual, although his own leanings were an open secret among the US government, not that this deterred him from purging the US government of suspected gay and lesbian people (leading to 5000 people getting fired from their jobs).

Now, in November 1953, one of Cohn's associates by the name of G. Davies Schine (with whom Cohn had toured Germany previous to remove books by suspected communist authors from United States Information Agency libraries) was drafted into the US army. Cohn and McCarthy attempted to use their influence to pressure the army into having Schine stationed near to them in the US (some have read this as Cohn wanting his friend close by, others have suggested they were romantically involved, no confirmation is available that I can see, either way preferential treatment was demanded), and when the army told them no, the pair decided to threaten the army by turning their anti-communist hunts against them in retaliation.

And if you'd think that threatening the United States army in the early 1950s, when a former WWII general Dwight D. Eisenhower was president was a poor decision, you'd be right!

As such, in early 1954 the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, usually chaired by McCarthy himself, was given the task of investigating whether McCarthy had indeed improperly sought preferential treatment. And unlike some of the other trials, the decision was made by ABC to televise the hearings, giving the American public their first view of what McCarthy's hearings were actually like as he turned his standard tricks against the army prosecutors.

You'd be right in thinking that it was more than a touch cynical that what it took to turn America against McCarthy was him attacking white, straight army dudes, but nevertheless that's what happened.

The army hired Boston lawyer Joseph Welch to make its case. At a session on June 9, 1954, McCarthy charged that one of Welch's attorneys had ties to a Communist organisation (the attorney in question, Fred Fischer, had been a member of the progressive National Lawyer's Guild). As an amazed television audience looked on, Welch responded with the immortal lines that ultimately ended McCarthy's career: "Until this moment, Senator, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness." When McCarthy tried to continue his attack, Welch angrily interrupted, "Let us not assassinate this lad further, senator. You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency?".

Public support began to immediately drain from McCarthy, helped along by such things as the pioneering TV documentary series See It Now, where journalist Edward R Murrow (picture below) used clips of McCarthy's own behavior to underline how the senator had been exploiting the public's fear and spreading lies (such as implying the FDR and Truman administrations were treacherous) for his own political gain.

(Transcript of the episode here)

McCarthy was cleared of the charges, with sole responsibility being laid at the feet of Cohn, who resigned. By March of 1954, Joe's own Republican base in his home state of Wisconsin launched the Joe Must Go campaign, wishing to oust the senator for disrespecting the army, President Eisenhower, and for ignoring the plight of local dairy farmers facing price-slashing surpluses (y'know, the kind of issues he was elected to deal with rather than wandering around the United States harassing people for being gay, communist or being a gay communist).

He was eventually censured by the Senate on various charges that essentially amounted to making his colleagues look bad by association, and his political career limped along for a further two and a half years before finally dying of "Hepatitis, acute, cause unknown" on May 2, 1957. A diagnosis possibly made worse by both his heavy drinking and morphine addiction.

Schine, for his part in the proceedings, dropped out of politics following the hearings, where he entered the private sector, where among other things he made a cameo appearance in the 1966 Batman show (the Entrancing Dr Cassandra). He would eventually die in 1996 alongside his wife, and their 35 year old son in a private airplane accident.

And what of Roy Cohn... Well... While there are folk who'd go through an experience like this and try to either fade into obscurity or try to improve their image, Roy was not one of those people. He worked for the Mob in New York, the Catholic Church, Rupert Murdoch... and Donald Trump.

Cohn gathered a reputation for being willing to do whatever he felt was necessary to enrich either himself or to get his clients whatever they desired. This eventually led to his getting accused of theft, obstruction of justice, extortion, tax evasion, bribery, blackmail, fraud, perjury, and witness tampering. Indeed, Cohn's willingness to happily commit crimes for his clients has reportedly led to frustrations with Trump's recent legal trouble, with him being annoyed his current legal representatives aren't willing to do criminal stuff for them like Roy did back in the day.

Despite all of this though, Cohn remained a popular figure in conservative politics, even introducing Roger Stone to Trump, and was notably close friends with Ronald and Nancy Reagan, with whom he acted as an informal advisor and even ran Ron's presidential campaign in New York, Connecticut and New Jersey.

In 1986, Cohn was disbarred for, among other things, attempting to forge a client's will to make himself the beneficiary upon their death. On 2 August of that year, he died of complications from AIDS, having been cut off by Trump despite Cohn's loyalty (and help with lucrative mob contracts) over the years.

The IRS promptly seized his property, due to his owing the US government $7million in back taxes.

FMA Watchthrough: RIP Trisha

Episode 3

Let's do a transmutation with Moms ashes!

Brother thought Winry was Nina,,,

He does this every time we see a dog and a girl in the same frame. He's going to keep doing this until it happens. And probably after that, because he has no sense of place and time.

Winry's parents die :( sad :( I like that we actually see her reaction here, I think that was skipped over in FMAB

Brother: Winry saying their Dad can still come back so they don't understand is a bit ow, but her parents died loving her and Ed's Dad chose to leave and hasn't come back

He's not wrong, Hohenheim is always crazy for that one

Like dude letters exist

also just you wait Winry they'll understand parental grief soon! Reaaaal soon

No necromancy in this house boys!

Trisha: aw my little man

Brother: My little, small man. My miserable little man.

THOSE MISERABLE LITTLE BOYS

Noooo Trisha don't turn into a spider ahaha

So at this point my brother realized that the mom was going to die, and probably soon because Ed and Al were young when they started spidering

So everytime Trisha appeared he started saying 'wouldn't it be funny if she died right now'

Trisha standing outside the house: what if she just died and then rolled down the hill

What if the boys fall onto that train and their mom dies

What if they open the door and the mom is dead on the floor- oh no

But Trisha is just sick

Now, further context, we've also been watching solo levelling so we like to joke when a character has more than one bead of sweat they're struggling

Oh no Trisha has 7 drops of sweat

Oh no her pupils disappeared

Oh no she's in a grave

Pro tip from brother: Maybe you shouldn't do necromancy when you're 10 years old

When the transmutation rebounds, he just goes I would have succeeded because I would add more blood

Just add blood tm

Guys my brother said he would give up an arm for me :( this is the only affection from him I've gotten this month /j

LEAUTINENT COLONEL ROY MUSTANG

Why is his title so long

Me: what do you think about mustang?

Brother: he's cool I guess. I feel like he would drive. A mustang.

Wow how original

Okay but can we talk about the stupid tricorner hat Mustang wears outdoors? Is that part of the uniform? why? Why is he willingly wearing that?

I do like the connectivity of Mustang seeing the letter and finding the elrics, not him just stumbling upon them

And Hohenheim is being hunted... he was in the military maybe? Definitely something sketchy with him

If I could have more canon manga stuff (I was daydreaming in the car) I'd like to see more of Trisha and Van's early relationship. I want more Trisha development. She acts as a very... I guess maybe elevated character? She doesn't have insane amounts of depth but the character's reactions grow her importance

Oh and Ed's not super depressed this time around. He got his automail fast too, they didn't waste any time developing this episode

I'm pretty sure we meet Hughes next and I am so excited! And crying!

Daredevil (vol. 1) #104: Prey of the Hunter!

Read Date: March 27, 2023 Cover Date: October 1973 ● Writer: Steve Gerber ● Penciler: Don Heck ● Inker: Sal Trapani ● Colorist: Petra Goldberg ● Letterer: Charlotte Jetter ● Editor: Roy Thomas ●

**HERE BE SPOILERS: Skip ahead to the fan art/podcast to avoid spoilers

Reactions As I Read: ● Matthew, stop working out with your glasses on ● ok, so some dude has controlled the Dark Messiah, Angar the Screamer, Ramrod, and now Kraven the Hunter. who are you??

● Sal Trapani’s inking is a little heavy at times for my preference ● Woman, to Tasha: “So you live alone—with two men?” / Tasha: “On separate floors, deary. Does that scandalize you, or just make you jealous?”

● 👏👏👏

Synopsis: Daredevil and Black Widow are in an training session talking about their personal matters, and how as Matthew Murdock, he hasn't met Kerwin J. Broderick, the head of Broderick, Sloan, & Murdock, and how Matt has yet to meet him since being employed there. After their session together, they meet with Ivan who brings them their mail. Inside they find an invitation to a cocktail party being held by Kerwin J. Broderick himself, who is anxious to meet Matt Murdock.

Meanwhile, the mastermind behind San Francisco's crime rackets has hired Kraven the Hunter in order to defeat or kill Daredevil. When the man offers Kraven the money, the hunter refuses telling him he only works for the thrill of the hunt.

Later that date, Matthew Murdock arrives on the job at Broderick, Sloan & Murdock to learn that his partner Jason Sloan has gotten him an postponement of trail on the Research Centre vandals that he is representing. Murdock is furious because he has no intention to change his plea because he has enough evidence to find them innocent. This causes turbulence between Jason and Matt, and makes him wonder about the ethics of his employer since the orders came from Broderick.

Returning home, Matt finds that the mansion has been attacked and Ivan bound up. Untying Natasha's bodyguard he learns that Natasha has been kidnapped by Kraven the Hunter who has demanded at Daredevil meet him at the San Francisco Zoo. Arriving there Daredevil is instantly attacked by Kraven. As the Man Without Fear manages to hold his own, he demands that Kraven show him where Natasha is. When Kraven finally does, he does so with dramatic flair: He has Natasha tied to the ground in the elephants pen and has blown a horn sending the gigantic beasts into a frenzy. Daredevil breaks off the first to rescue Natasha allowing Kraven to escape and begin plotting the next phase of his attack on Daredevil.

Six days alter, Matt and Natasha head over to Broderick's mansion for the cocktail party and meet Broderick for the first time. The party is dull and Matt and Natasha cause some controversy among the elite that are there. Just then Kraven the Hunter bursts through the window. While Natasha keeps him busy, Matt slips away in order to change into Daredevil. The two heroes have the upper hand fighting Kraven in closed quarters, forcing the criminal to take the battle outside.

There Kraven gets the advantage, knocking out Black Widow with a tranquilizer dart and then knocking Daredevil unconscious. With the Man Without Fear knocked out, Kraven lifts the hero over his head, poised to throw him off a cliff into the rocky waters below.

Lillian Gish in The White Sister (Henry King, 1923)

Cast: Lillian Gish, Ronald Colman, Gail Kane, J. Barney Sherry, Charles Lane, Juliette La Violette, Gustavo Serena. Screenplay: George V. Hobart, Charles E. Whittaker; titles: Will M. Ritchey, Don Bartlett; based on a novel by Frances Marion Crawford and a play by Crawford and Walter C. Hackett. Cinematography: Roy F. Overbaugh. Art direction: Robert M. Haas. Film editing: Duncan Mansfield.

Henry King was a director of solid competence whose career extended from 1915 to 1962, amassing credits on IMDb for directing 116 films. Even so, his movies are not particularly memorable. Who, today, seeks out The Song of Bernadette (1943) or Wilson (1944), two of the "prestige" films he directed for 20th Century-Fox? In his great auteurist survey The American Cinema: Directors and Directions, 1929-1968, the best Andrew Sarris has to say about the movies directed by King is that they display a "plodding intensity." King was, in Sarris's words, "turgid and rhetorical in his narrative style," and that certainly holds true for The White Sister. Lillian Gish had a great rapport with the camera, able to suggest an entire range of emotions with her eyes alone -- hence the many close-ups she is given in her films. But King, filming on location in Italy and Algeria, is more interested in the settings than in the people inhabiting them. (Roy Overbaugh's cinematography is one of the film's virtues.) Nor does he seem interested in moving the story along, dragging it out to a wearisome 143 minutes. When Prince Chiaromonte (Charles Lane), the father of Angela (Gish) and her wicked half-sister, the Marchesa di Mola (Gail Kane), goes out fox-hunting, we're pretty sure that disaster is about to happen. But King stretches out the hunt so long that when Chiaromonte is killed the accident has no great emotional impact. And when Angela takes her vows as a nun, effectively preventing her from marrying Captain Severini (Ronald Colman), the man she loves but thinks is dead, King gives us every moment of the ceremony, trying to generate suspense by occasional cuts to Severini's ship steaming homeward. There's also an erupting volcano at the picture's end, but King fails to stage or cut it for real suspense. Gish is fine as always, though she's not called on to do much but look pious and to go cataleptic when Angela receives the news of Severini's supposed death. Colman is handsome but not much else, and Kane's villainy seems to be signaled by her talking out of the side of her mouth, as if channeling Dick Cheney many years in advance.
