05x02 - A Reflection Of Glory

TW: Homophobia in terms of the late 80's.

Pete is back in uniform and is partnered with Malcolm. He's not impressed to be stuck in the middle of a busy market. Malcolm answers a call for a shoplifter so Pete reverses and takes an 'unofficial short cut'.

Jim and Ted smirk as Mike arrives in a new and expensive three piece suit that he'd chosen because he was supposed to be appearing in court. Ted wolf whistles at him. "Look at that, straight out of a shop window!" Mike rolls his eyes and they laugh, "It's very becoming, Michael!" The court case that Mike was due to attend has been put back to wait for psychiatric reports so Frank places him with Ted. "By the way...?" "Yeah?" "...Nothing..." Frank closes the door, shaking his head at Mike's suit. Jim and Ted can't help but laugh.

Pete is further annoyed to walk through a pile of dog dirt as they approach the wine merchants who called in a shop lifter. Mr Malek leads them into the back of his store to an elderly lady he suspects of stealing a bottle of brandy and 200 cigarettes. She claims she did not steal anything and that she is innocent.

Malcolm goes to speak to the mans daughter at the till but finds the shop being robbed by two armed men. He darts behind a display. He's about to call it in as Pete appears. "RAMSEY, DOWN!" Malcolm shouts, dragging him down in time to stop him being shot.

The robbers dive into the back of their getaway car. They get away too quickly for Malcolm to catch them or get the registration. Pete arranges an ambulance and he and Malcolm have a moment.

[Just noticed I've spelt Malcolm's surname the Harry Haines way - pls ignore that!]

Malcolm calls in the armed robbery and Frank reckons it could be linked to two armed robberies on post offices. Frank tells Ted he wants them off the street before they kill someone and sends Ted and Mike to the wine merchants.

June and Ken are patrolling when they're stopped by a man who begs them to come help his friend who has locked himself in the toilets of a gay club and is threatening to kill himself. The owner, Mr Spiro, initially stops them gaining entry and claims the man is highly strung 'you know what these people are like'. June tells him to stand aside or she'll call backup and report to her bosses that Mr Spiro is refusing to allow them access. Spiro steps aside. The club patrons fall silent at the sight of the police beforeJune is dragged towards the toilets. She asks Ken to break the doorway down and they find a man sat on the floor with a knife pointed at his face. June tells him he's under arrest for having an offensive weapon.

Jim's snout, Leroy, is reluctant to help out. He's a taxi driver and after some pressure he suggests a flat on the Drummond Estate - possibly 35 or 36 - as he spotted the men he dropped off had a gun in the back of his car.

Malcolm tells Ted and Mike that the robbers got away with about £600 from the till and they had at least two guns with them. Mike laments the loss of the wine. Ted allows the owner to clear up the broken glass with Malcolm but tells him not to touch anything. Behind the counter Ted finds the bullet cartridge. Pete and Malcolm watch as they go off to the address Jim called in.

Mike and Ted join Jim who has been observing the suspects flat(s). They edge through a crowded alley to hide behind a car.

Christine asks Malcolm and Pete where their shoplifter is. Pete smirks and claims "Haynes must have let her slip away in the confusion."

June stands with her face in her hand as the man from the club toilets is charged with posession of an offensive weapon. The man who originally asked them to help is obviously regetting it. "I didn't know this was going to happen, I thought you were going to help him! He's not a criminal you know!" The man grabs Alec and shouts that 'he can't do nuffin to him!' Alec drops the knife in the struggle and with the threat level, Ken has no choice but to strike the man with his baton to get him back under control. The 'friend' reaches for the knife and June stands on his hand. "Don't make things worse!"

Jim, Mike and Ted watch the flats and spot a suspect leaving one. (I don't know why this screenshot amuses me so much but it really does! It's like the holy trinity.) He tells Jim to stick close to the suspect but to let him lead them to his friends, warning him to be careful. He and Mike will follow in the car.

Jim follows him through the cemetery and Mike and Ted work out that he's heading to the canal so they head through a short cut. Unfortunately the suspect he looks back and realises Jim is following him. Thankfully Ted and Mike spot him in time and speed over to help with Mike's suit getting ruined in the process.

The suspect shouts at his accomplices to wait for him as he struggles to climb the wall. He can't quite reach so uses a canal boat to clambour over to the other side. The suspect drops his bag into the water by accident as he runs but doesn't have time to fish it out. Mike uses the bridge to 'monkey bar' to the other side but ends up falling in a small amount of the water.

Jim manages to catch the suspect and tells Mike that the bag is in the water as he struggles to arrest the man.

The mans accomplices speed off, a novelty horn blast playing as they do. Ted calls it in for uniform to try track the car down.

June tells Pete and Malcolm what happened in the charge room and they snigger about Ken having to hit the man with his truncheon. "You know what they say..." Malcolm muses. "The meek shall inherit." June comes face to face with the man's friend as she returns to custody. She clearly feels bad that it's gotten this far.

Frank tells Pete and Malcolm that Ted is bringing in a suspect of the armed robbery and asks if either of them got a good look at the suspects. Pete says he did and is confident he can identify them. Neither of them saw the driver so can't identify him.

The suspect is forced inside - racially abusing Malcolm in the process. Jim is sent to get Frank as Mike brings in the man's bag. He protests his cuffs are too tight and demands a brief. "I know my rights!" Pete enters the room and tells Frank that he's one of the men who commited the armed robbery that morning. The man falls silent, refusing to speak. Frank opens the mans bag - inside is the shotgun and numerous other weapons. The suspect claims Mike fished the bag out the canal and he's never seen it before in his life. Frank tells him the bag and its contents will be sent to forensics to be dusted for prints before his address is searched with a fine toothcomb before he is charged with attempted murder of two police officers as well as the armed robbery.

The car is spotted by Malcolm at a Texaco garage and he calls it in as he follows. It almost runs people over as it charges through a market. Just in time Malcolm remembers Pete's short cut and speeds through an estate just in time to find the car. In panic, the car crashes into a milk cart. Malcolm runs at the car and grabs a gun from the hand of one and picks up another gun that had fallen out of the car in the crash after cuffing both men together whilst they moan in pain. "You and your mate are nicked." he growls, calling into a visibly relieved Tom that he's apprehended the suspects without any real drama and requests a van to bring them back to the station.

A crowd has gathered to watch what happened and adorable little kid watches Malcolm. "Need any help, Mister?" Malcolm chuckles a little and ruffles the boys hair, telling him it's alright, he's got it under control.

"In the evening, Cummings unexpectedly dropped in to show me a meerschaum pipe he had won in a raffle in the city and told me to handle it carefully, as it would spoil the colouring if the hand was moist. He said he would not stay, as he did not care much for the smell of paint, and fell over the scraper as he went out. Must get the scraper removed - or else I shall get into a scrape. I don't often make jokes."

[theersatzcowboy]

The Boy Friend (1971)

On the heels of his most controversial, allegedly “blasphemous” film, Ken Russell “took a break” by delivering one of his most meticulously-detailed, ambitious, and opulent films: a sprawling musical parody of the vaudevillian styles of the early 20th century and the Early Hollywood Musical…starring Twiggy! (She’s really good in it!).

Director: Ken Russell

Cinematographer: David Watkin

Starring: Twiggy, Glenda Jackson, Christopher Gable, Max Adrian, Tommy Tune, Bryan Pringle, Murray Melvin, Moyra Fraser, and Georgina Hale

Idk how to do this but I'm a new alter who doesn't know much of anything about myself, so I'll just say what I do know.

I don't have much connection to gender but I think I'm more masc leaning. I'd say probably emo aesthetic (I'll link an outfit). I'm usually the most heavily dissociated. I like tokyo ghoul. It/xe pronouns sound good in theory but I'd love more ideas, and help with names or anything else.

Discharge Petition for H.R. 7152, the Civil Rights Act of 1964

Record Group 233: Records of the U.S. House of RepresentativesSeries: General Records

This item, H.R. 7152, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, faced strong opposition in the House Rules Committee. Howard Smith, Chairman of the committee, refused to schedule hearings for the bill. Emanuel Celler, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, attempted to use this discharge petition to move the bill out of committee without holding hearings. The petition failed to gain the required majority of Congress (218 signatures), but forced Chairman Smith to schedule hearings.

88th CONGRESS. House of Representatives No. 5 Motion to Discharge a Committee from the Consideration of a RESOLUTION (State whether bill, joint resolution, or resolution) December 9, 1963 To the Clerk of the House of Representatives: Pursuant to Clause 4 of Rule XXVII (see rule on page 7), I EMANUEL CELLER (Name of Member), move to discharge to the Commitee on RULES (Committee) from the consideration of the RESOLUTION; H.

04X40 - The Silent Gun

Malcolm attends a call at a house after a report of a disturbance. However upon talking to the complainants he realises it's much deeper. Bailiffs had been trying to force the door of a bedsit open when the man inside released several rounds from a gun, injuring one of the Bailiffs hands. Malcolm questions why he wasn't told that a gun was involved and the middle class woman admits she was rather flustered to find out her tenant had a gun. She also forgot to ask for an ambulance and to mention that the man with a gun is still inside the house, locked in his room on the top floor.

Brownlow has a holiday that he's just about to leave for as news of the shooting comes in. Malcolm has a look up the stairs but there's no movement.

Bob. Tony and Derek get their guns and bullets signed out to them by Brownlow and Derek is assigned negotiator. Brownlow will be the scene coordinator, Bob is to be his runner and the others are back up.

The woman tells Malcolm that his name is 'Dublin' and she assumes he's Irish because of his name but she's never actually spoken to him. He hasn't paid rent for 6 months and is rather reclusive. She's been through all the legal routes to get him out but he won't leave hence the bailiffs being there.

Jim is sent to try and get access to the house opposite to gain an observation point. A crowd gathers despite Yorkie trying to get everyone to go home and stay inside. Bob and Derek take up positions with their guns with Derek making his way into the house.

Derek slowly starts climbing the stairs. He gets outside the room in question without harm and takes a long deep breath in. "Derek, any sign of life?" asks Brownlow. "Just my guts turning over, sir."

Jim couldn't get in the house suggested as an observation point as the woman he encountered freaked out. He's had to go to the next house along and reports a thick curtain over the window in question.

The firearms boss arrives dressed in a suit and is introduced to Brownlow. Soon after a group of armed police arrive and take over from Bob to allow him inside to assist Derek and Charles. The boss of the firearms is awesome and asks for a canteen van to be brought because he's there to make sure everyone is safe and calm and that the job ends in the same way, however long it takes. If it's not and not everyone is alive at the end - he considers that he hasn't done his job.

Yorkie has to deal with an idiot who wants to leave his house and dodge the police to get to the local shop. He refuses to go out the back, even when Yorkie points out that he's likely to get shot! Thankfully Claire's neighbour is a lot more reasonable and agrees to keep out of the way and in the back of her house.

Derek attempts to make contact with the armed police around him. He asks Mr Dublin if he can hear him and is answered by a toilet flush and Ted making his way out of the bathroom.🤣 Derek tries again but Dublin remains silent. Derek tells him that the bailiff is OK and not seriously injured. He asks him to leave the gun in his room and come out for a chat so he can help him with his problems. Dublin doesn't answer and there's no movement inside. He asks for the man's first name and is still met with silence.

Alec reports to Brownlow that the press would like to come nearer. He refuses and tells Alec to nick them if they try it before muttering to Ted that perhaps they should let them through as the only good journalist is a dead one. The middle-class house owner beams at Charles as she tells him that her brother was a journalist for the Telegraph.

Viv shows Brownlow some post addressed to a Mr Lublin from Poland that haven't been collected. She suggests that the name they've been given for 'Mr Dublin' is wrong and that he's 'Mr Lublin' instead. There's also an old rent book in the same name.

Bob pops upstairs. "... Do you speak Polish?" he asks Derek.

Technical Support blunder into the house and ask Derek how he's going. Derek tells them he's asked for an interpreter as there's been no movement or response yet. The armed officer's boss silences them all when he hears movement...

Outside, the canteen van is doing a roaring trade. Taffy asks Claire how you get all the hedgehogs in the world on a single matchbox. Claire has no idea.

The extra we've been talking about, Bryan Jacobs gets to speak in this episode! He says 'not again' and 'he is!' when Yorkie asks him who's winning their game of cards in the back of the police van.

Robin moans about how long it's taking, claiming the sooner it's over the better. Yorkie takes Alec a tea, he pouts because it's not coffee and sends him back to get him a sandwich.

The house owner is starting to get concerned that it won't be over by the time two students she tutors are due to arrive at 8pm. Malcolm and Ken make them all jump - including startling the snoozing Ted - by celebrating as a goal is scored on TV. [Very surprised Brownlow doesn't bollock them given what they're there for!]

Derek gets the interpreter to ask if he'd like a drink, and Mr Lublin continues ignoring them. "Perhaps he's on the wagon." Derek drawls before checking in with the tech guys who tell him there's half an inch to go before their probes are through the wall. "... Let's hope you don't come out behind the wardrobe again." Derek mutters earning himself a glare.

Brownlow talks to the armed officer's boss who tells him it doesn't matter that they've been waiting four hours, he still needs to bring it to a peaceful resolution. Brownlow points out the streetful of people wanting to return to their homes and an MP moaning about overkill.

Yorkie heads to a local shop to buy a packet of biscuits and speaks to the shopkeeper who tells him that he thought the Polish tenant had gone because he hadn't been in for months whereas before he was a regular visitor for his cereal. Yorkie asks if he ever spoke to the man and the shopkeeper says no, there was no point. He's deaf.

Outside the crowd are getting moody and wanting to return to their homes. One man in particular tries to push his way through Alec. He gets rough and ends up getting bundled into a police van to calm down. Another old lady reports her rice pudding that she left on a low flame might be about to spoil so Taffy is sent in to turn it off!

Brownlow speaks to the armed officers and explains that he's deaf and claims that they've wasted time trying to speak to him. The armed officer points out that if he's heard nothing he's more dangerous as he'd panic and fire at them in shock. The police dog barks at Charles as the man walks off like he's telling him off 🤣

Ted goes over to relieve Jim who has needed a pee for an hour. He reckons they should have gone in as soon as they were in place and took him by surprise and the job now has too much heavy thinking.

Tech are now going for their third set of holes after the last set also didn't work. Derek points out it could be a wall-to-wall bookcase but the man insists he knows it'll be right that time. The heat monitor is also not helping as what is seen could be body heat or also could be a fire! "When you join up those once little holes you'd drilling we can lift the roof up and have a look, can't we!?" Derek snarks.

Taffy tries to get into the house of the old lady and ends up breaking the window of her back door as everything else is locked. He's in the wrong house as he's confronted by two men and finds no rice pudding on the stove.

With no further movement, the officers prepare to go in with a police dog. The armed officers and a light are prepared and Viv asks the lady to stay where she is. They break the door in and push through a barricade to get the dog in before pushing in themselves. Inside they find the dog sat beside the old man who has literally curled into a ball with his hands over his head. The gun is on the bed.

With everything resolved and the old man arrested, the specialist forces leave. Derek and the suspect are mobbed by the press. Jim and Ted watch on in silence with Ted turning to Jim.

".... So what was the score?"

5.102 Chinese Whispers

ACKLAND: Not exactly a shrinking violet, are you?

Dave’s first episode and he’s extremely unlikeable in the beginning. Trying it on with everyone in a skirt and just being plain annoying. I’m glad he matured after a while.

[mysticcollectionbee]

Hazbin Hotel character's favorite Author(s) headcanons and why(because I’m a book/history nerd) Part 1.

Alastor: Ambrose Bierce

A guy who didn’t just write horror/mystery stories but also did journalism and satire? Of course a radio show host/serial killer would like this guy.

They both like critiquing the status quo.

Visited Louisiana so maybe Alastor heard people meeting him or something (fanfic idea).

Was not as racist, misogynistic, or classist as many others in his time period (I.E. why I think Alastor, a creole gentleman, wouldn’t be a huge fan of Lovecraft despite his powers being similar to that of the author’s monsters/gods).

Husk: Ken Kesey or William Melvin Kelly

Basically people who rebel against the status quo.

Younger/sober Husk probably reads Kelly (strong yet subtle critique over societies biggest issues) but when he gets older and more jaded/drunk he likes the tragedies of Ken Kesey ("Society is a fucking mess and so are the people in it").

Niffty: Assorted Harlequin romance novels and (maybe) manga

She was 1950s housewife who was a hopeless romantic…Don’t think I need to explain much if you know about these novels.

Also don’t think she cares about who the author was for them, she just remembers her favorites.

I think after she ended up in hell was when she got access to Manga. Since if she grew up in the U.S. she wouldn't have access to it. Manga came to there in the 80s.

Extra:

Rosie: Edgar Allan Poe

• Has similar tastes to Alastor but Poe is more in her era than Bierce. Also Poe has a lot of romantic tragedies that I think Rosie would like. 

[misterfeller]

the cryptic asks are fun :)

you'll never know who i am

mainly because we're not mutuals and i dont follow anyone, so i'm invisible to you

so uh

you can call me whatever you want

ohhh okay!!!! i thought you would be one of my mutuals. you kind of remind me of faggot mouse. i am okay with more cryptic asks this is so fun yay! deciding what to call you is going to be really hard bc i barely know anything about you. i have this stupid thing in my phone where it gives me cats and i name them. maybe you could look through them and see if any names feel like you. i would put screenshots of all the names here but there would be too many. i will copy and paste some for you. under the cut bc there are 5 million even with some taken out

Cast: Twiggy, Christopher Gable, Max Adrian, Bryan Pringle, Murray Melvin, Moyra Fraser, Georgina Hale, Sally Bryant, Vladek Sheybal, Tommy Tune, Brian Murphy, Graham Armitage, Antonia Ellis, Caryl Little, Glenda Jackson. Screenplay: Ken Russell, based on a musical play by Sandy Wilson. Cinematography: David Watkin. Production design: Tony Walton. Costume design: Shirley Russell. Music: Peter Maxwell Davies; songs: Sandy Wilson, Nacio Herb Brown, Arthur Freed. 

Nothing succeeds like excess. That seems to have been Ken Russell's motto, well displayed in The Boy Friend. As I watched it, I thought the first parody of Busby Berkeley's kaleidoscopic production numbers for Warner Bros. musicals was brilliant. The second was entertaining. The third was ... well, maybe the law of diminishing returns had set in. The original stage musical was a campy sendup of the kind of musical comedies that P.G. Wodehouse, Guy Bolton, and Jerome Kern used to create for the Princess Theatre and later in the 1920s: tuneful light romances with silly plots. But for the movie, Russell superadds a campy sendup of the backstage movie musicals of the 1930s, borrowing plot and even dialogue from 42nd Street (Lloyd Bacon, 1933), hence the Berkeley parodies. I first saw The Boy Friend around the time of its first release, and enjoyed it. But watching it again now, I found myself looking at the clock after the first hour and a half passed. The version I had seen in the theater was the one MGM had cut by 25 minutes; the restored version runs an exhausting two hours and 17 minutes. That said, there is much to enjoy about Russell's movie, especially the vividly colored production design by Tony Walton and costumes by Shirley Russell (the director's wife). The presence of the great Tommy Tune in the cast is also a plus. The Sandy Wilson songs are pleasantly hummable, and the interpolation of two songs by Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed that were featured in Singin' in the Rain (Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly, 1952) is nice. But a little camp goes a long way, and piling camp on camp can be tiresome, especially if the camp is done the way Russell does it: with a smirk rather than a wink.
