The Battle of Trafalgar, as Seen from the Mizen Starboard Shrouds of the Victory

Artist: Joseph Mallord William Turner R.A. (English, 1775-1851),

Date: 1806-1808

Medium: Oil paint on canvas

Collection: Tate Britain, London, United Kingdom

Description

This painting was praised as the first ‘British epic picture’ because it combines key moments of the Battle of Trafalgar (21 October 1805) in one composition. At bottom left British naval leader Horatio Nelson collapses on the Victory’s deck, shot by a French sniper seen high up in the right-hand ship’s crows’ nest. French flags are lowered, conceding defeat. These moments are set within a wider view of the claustrophobic, smoke-filled combat zone. Trafalgar was a bittersweet moment for Britain. Celebration of victory over the French and Spanish navies mixed with grief over the death of naval hero Nelson.

POLTERGEIST (1982)

😿Dead Bird

“They’re here!” Did I enjoy the movie? Yes! But was the haunting caused by a Poltergeist? By the film's definition of a Poltergeist, it didn’t seem like it. What can I say? I’m a little literal and when you call your film POLTERGEIST  then set out clear rules that don’t seem to be followed… I get a bit confused. A fun film, a family film, a romp and a classic. Clearly an inspiration for many movies that followed.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Trigger Warning Flashing Lights

Our movie begins with the darling little girl, Carol Anne, talking to the static on the TV. Very creepy. Family life tries to continue as normal but Carol Anne keeps communicating with the “TV People” finally telling us that they are “here” which was a terrifying thing to say in the middle of the night. While just going about her normal day, Mama Diane discovers that the furniture in the kitchen moves around all by itself somehow. Then suddenly during a thunderstorm the son, Robbie, is grabbed out the window by the scary tree! Oh, no! While Papa Steven goes to try to help his son (followed by Diane) they forget about Carol Anne who is actively being sucked into the closet! Oh, no! Again! Poor Carol Anne is sucked into the closet and disappears! They get a paranormal gang to come over and investigate the happenings at the house but mostly to just find their daughter! They are able to speak to Carol Anne through the TV which is just about as odd as anything else going on in their wacky house of horrors.

The paranormal expert, Dr. Lesh, thinks we might be dealing with a Poltergeist, something that attaches to people instead of places. The paranormal group stays the night and one of the guys has a hallucination that his face falls to pieces. It is really rather gross and pretty upsetting for the gentleman it happens to. Next they get this really intense footage of a brilliant ghost or ghosts coming down the stairs, making a grand entrance. After this they send away Robbie and his dog to grandma’s house (the elder sister had already peaced out to a friend's house, I think, she is largely absent from this film). Things are looking a little dire in the home but Dr. Lesh is trying to calm down Diane. Steve however is being informed by his boss, the boss for the job that got him the house, that the house is built on a moved cemetery. That might explain why there is so much unrest at their location. Dr. Lesh brings in a medium to feel out the house. 

Our adorable, little medium explains that Carol Anne is alive in the house but that the dead things are attracted to her living spirit basically. So, it is the plot of Insidious but good? Also there is a terrible evil presence in there with Carol Anne as well, so, James Wan totally just watched this and then puked out Insidious. After the medium explains what to do, they talk to Carol Anne a little more and then it is time to deal with the portal. The portal is in the closet and it is this intense swirling blue light that explodes with light and sound when they throw stuff into it. The portal also seems to empty out into the living room for some reason but I guess that is a good thing for them. Diane ends up having to go through the portal to get Carol Anne, she comes out a whole mess (and before that Steve pulls the rope too early and a whole huge skeleton face pops out The Evil Dead style? I was not prepared for it at least. Either way Diane and Carol Anne come out of the portal covered in cherry pie filling and it is pretty yucky looking. 

Next they are moving out of the house (even though the medium says the house is now clean). Diane has grey hair at her temples from the experience but it looks pretty cool honestly. Too bad she dyes it back almost immediately. Anyway, the kids are trying to sleep that night but the clown doll has other plans, it comes alive and starts to go for young Robbie! While that is happening Diane is being levitated onto the ceiling by an invisible force while she is completely helpless to stop it or help her kids! When she is finally released she runs into the hallway to find an impossible specter that is blocking her path! She runs outside to try and get help but she slips and falls into the pool which now has skeletal bodies floating in it. YUCK. (You think this inspired that scene from Abigail?) Ew, I know that they are fake boney boys but I would hate to be her doing that scene. YUCK. 

At this point the ground is just exploding with coffins that are (of course) filled with heavily decayed dead people. Steven gets home but a coffin bars him from entering his own home and getting to his family. Steven figures out that his boss never actually moved the cemetery proper, he just moved the headstones and left the bodies behind then built the houses on top. What a businessman. God forbid you need to do a little digging in your backyard. Somehow the whole family is able to escape in a car and drive away while the house slowly eats itself and vanishes into a small patch of light. When the family gets to a motel the first thing they do is roll the TV set outside, they will not be sleeping with it in their room (a very nice touch).

Julio Spring, let's have a chat.

I find this man hard to write about because sometimes he makes himself exactly what his son needs, and other times he's almost damagingly quiet. Without knowing too much about Julio's past (I think I've read everything Alice has written about him, but for the purposes of this post I'm going to focus mainly on what we know from the show), it can be hard to parse his motivations and actions. But one thing we know for sure is that Julio is deeply concerned for Charlie.

The most poignant scene between them is obviously when Julio hugs Charlie after Harry's party. He can sense immediately that something is wrong, very wrong, but has the intuition and sensitivity to push aside the intense curiosity he must be feeling about why, or the details of what happened, and addresses the most pressing issue--Charlie's need for comfort and support.

Though we never see it on screen, or even much in the books aside from some narrative flashbacks, this must be a tragically familiar scenario for Julio; after all, he's been through at least a year or more of dealing with the aftermath of the bullying Charlie experiences. How achingly difficult must it be for Julio to repeat "it's going to be okay" to his son when he knows there's a good chance it might not ever be truly okay. The trust that Charlie must have in Julio to allow himself to fall apart in front of him indicates that Julio must have handled those past crises with enough care to make Charlie see him as a safe space. [And we can't assume that Julio is safe for Charlie just because he's his father--Alice makes it clear in other storylines that safety with family is far, far from a given.]

Julio has gone through this enough times that, when it's time to drop Charlie off at the cinema, he's clearly torn between allowing Charlie the freedom he needs, and the space to make his own judgments about what he can handle, versus his parental desire to protect Charlie from harm. The fact that he gives Charlie that space earns him a lot of respect in my eyes.

Afterward, he can tell that the conversation between Charlie and Ben was an antagonistic one, and that his concerns were valid. There's nothing worse as a parent than anticipating hurt for your child and then having that fear come true. But Julio doesn't push, or dig for more. Maybe he should have, but those calls are always hard to make, and even harder to judge from the outside.

A lot of Julio's tender and caring moments happen in the first season, so it's hard to watch in season two when there are many scenes where Julio is so obviously upset, worried, or angry, and yet does nothing. Sometimes, admittedly, it's hard to know what to do, and that's valid, but we need him to try.

We need Julio, who understands Jane and where she's coming from at least a little better than Charlie does, to step in and mediate when she's clearly letting her own past and her parents' critical behavior impact how she's interacting with her son.

We need Julio to follow up on his concern, that niggling worry and doubt that he has, about Charlie not eating and isolating himself.

We need Julio to object when he witnesses Charlie engaging in negative self-talk, to bolster his son with words of support.

Julio Spring is a good dad who cares incredibly deeply for a son he can't always completely understand, but there's room for growth here too. I really hope we get to see that in season 3.

*And fear not, the infamous hanky panky conversation will get its own post.

‘Warfare’ Boasts a Roster of Hollywood’s Rising Talent — Here’s Who They Play and What They’re Up to Next

-IndieWire (X)

Kit Connor (Tommy)

Bursting onto the scene in the Netflix LGBTQ teen series “Heartstopper” and recently making his Broadway debut alongside Rachel Zegler in “Romeo + Juliet,” Connor is proving his range with the intense “Warfare.” He plays Tommy in the film, a gunner whose fortitude is tested when his unit comes under attack. His role is to maintain weapons and engage in surveillance, supporting combat efforts through target accquistion.

While “Heartstopper” has not been officially renewed for Season 4, Connor is still keeping busy, appearing in films like the British horror mystery “One of Us” and an adaptation of Laura Taylor Namey’s romantic novel “A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow.”

The real-time account of an Iraq War assault was co-directed by U.S. Navy Seal veteran Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland.

After working together on the fictional, somewhat dystopian/somewhat familiar “Civil War,” filmmaker Alex Garland and Iraq War veteran Ray Mendoza have joined forces for an up-close-and-personal depiction of battle and the band of brothers who offer their lives to wage it. Their new film “Warfare” offers a real-time account of Mendoza’s platoon, a group of U.S. Navy Seals stationed in insurgent territory during 2006, and a conflict they were forced to engage in during their deployment.

d’pharaoh woon-a-tai

“Warfare” features an all-star cast of Hollywood’s rising talent including D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai as Mendoza, Will Poulter, Cosmo Jarvis, Joseph Quinn, and Charles Melton. In preparing for the project, the cast not only went through rigorous training, but lived with one another for the entire duration of the shoot.

Rather than the traditional red carpet premiere, Mendoza and Garland unveiled the film last week at the Hollywood America Legion Theater in Los Angeles to a crowd of mostly veterans and members of the military community, with representation from partners including Veterans In Media And Entertainment, Navy Seal Foundation, Warrior Heritage Foundation, Team Rubicon, Team RWB, Writers Guild Foundation — Veterans Writing Program, Screen Actors Guild Veterans Committee, the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Navy, and U.S. Space Force.

charles melton

Addressing the crowd at the premiere, Garland said of how “Warfare” came to be, “It was based on memory. We had a handful of photographs that we got of the building, but aside from that, it was just interviews and it began with Ray and I sitting for a week and Ray just unloading everything he could remember. And then we spoke to as many people as we could. These guys opened up, never tried to make themselves look good, never tried to self-aggrandize, really dug it into themselves to try and say what really happened and what the truth was.”

noah centineo

Mendoza has wanted to tell this story for a long time, but didn’t understand how to until he started work on films like “Act of Valor” and “Lone Survivor.”

cosmo jarvis

“When I first got out of the military, there was a lot going on with this event, and I didn’t understand how to describe it,” he said. “I didn’t have the vocabulary of the verbiage to convey it. I had to first understand what was physically going on and then just kind emotionally, spiritually, trying to figure out how to communicate.”
