IWTV S2 - Pix11 clip makes me so sad for Claudia

As a New Yorker, I caught second-hand embarrassment watching the latest clip promoting Game of Thrones Ann [sic] Rice's Interview with a [sic] Vampire. 😭 But Jacob did his thing, as usual! 👏

Anyways, the clip itself was VERY interesting, from what I could tell with the audio + accents + French + lack of subtitles.

Sweet precious baby Louis, always the optimist in denial that things were getting better, not progressively worse. Louis of all people should know a thing or two about scar-tissue: some wounds only heal on the surface, but the trauma & PTSD can last forever.

I love how while Louis' waxing poetic about them "healing," Claudia's counting change (a la Bricktop 2.0--Louis "letting a woman count his money"); visibly holding back her frustration with their reality.

They had to pickpocket!? 😨 Louis! Don't stash Lestat's useless arse in a dump before making sure the alimony & child support checks get cleared! Like, I can understand them losing all their NOLA luggage while running from bombs & revenants in WWII Europe, but what happened to all Les' Parisian bank accounts!? You know how LOADED that guy is?! Louis, you really let your man take care of all the finances like that!? 💀

Jfc, Lou, The First Wives Club ain't teach you NOTHIN. 😒

Lemme calm down.

Now here's where the clip lost me; I couldn't understand a word he was saying in French--same, Claudia. 😅

But this bit right here really gets to the heart of the matter: "Truth and reconciliation;" them looking for the truth about vampiric origins & history (and the truth about Lestat's past).

Then we get this remark from Claudia:

I couldn't tell if this meant that A) Claudia was correcting Louis' French (Truth versus Trust, and her going "What?" cuz he got the translation wrong); or if B) Louis was correcting hers (her going "What?" cuz she still doesn't know any French). And if so, that got me wondering--Claudia lived with Loustat for 20+ years--how could she NOT know any French by then? 🤨

Like, I don't mean just through casual exposure/immersion; I mean cuz we learn in TVL that vampires are (preter)natural mimics. Lestat never learned how to play violin or even how to read or speak English. He picked it all up passively with the Dark Gift; a vampire who (barely) passed as human by mimicking them.

Which makes me NERVOUS for Claudia, if her powers are so dang low that she doesn't speak French by now. 😰

As for Louis, I had to laugh here; him calling French the "mother-tongue." Like, book!Louis was the same way about going to Paris--he wasn't born in America; he was a settler/colonist from France who got rich off of his Louisiana purchases in slave labor & plantations. Going to Paris really was going back to the motherland for him, and Louis was APPALLED when the Theatre mocked him for his French having an accent.

But French is clearly not AMC!Louis' native language (the DPDLs spoke English at home, NOT French--not even when Monsieur Bouillabaisse de Lioncourt came to dinner). And we also know from the OG pilot script that Louis knew (at least some) Haitian Creole, too, when he'd chat with Oncle Vervain Mayfair (GOD I wish they'd kept all that in!). French is more what bougie Creoles would speak to be cultured & educated & show off; not to converse with regularly.

If anything, French is more Louis & Claudia's father-tongue; from Lou's French White great-great grandfather; to the MIA Papa DPDL we never see; to Claudia's biological father "whose daddy gave her away to a mean old auntie" (and who left her for dead to die of PLAGUE in the books); to Absentee Father/Maker of the Year Lestat himself. What's more, French is the language of ANGER, VIOLENCE & verbal ABUSE in the de Lioncourt household/family/coven--Loustat only ever spoke it when arguing around/about Claudia.

So to have Louis talking in French to Claudia about mother-tongues is just hysterical, like boyyyyy if you don't stop--get Lestat's thumb out of your mouth for ONCE. 🤣

Peter Greenaway, uno dei più significativi artisti multimediali e cineasti della cinematografia britannica contemporanea con un posto centrale nel dibattito sul cinema d'autore, il 6 luglio 2010 giunge a Locarno in vista di una sua grande mostra inedita - concepita da Greenaway stesso, a cura di Arminio Sciolli e Jean Olaniszyn - dedicata a Leonardo Da Vinci, inaugurata il 17 luglio 2010 al Rivellino LDV Art Gallery di Locarno.

Partendo dall’opera Le valigie di Tulse Luper, articolata attorno al numero 92, il numero atomico dell'uranio, Peter Greenaway ha eseguito appositamente per Locarno un progetto per un’installazione museale con 92 disegni inediti dedicati al maestro toscano, dal titolo: 92 Leonardo Suitcases.

This is a collection of drawings by Peter Greenaway to accompany the ambitious Tulse Luper Suitcases multi-media project. The Tulse Luper Suitcases is an ambitious multi-media project, specially created for the Information Age, feature-films for the cinema, DVDs, websites, published fictional texts, exhibitions, video-games, theatre, paintings and drawings. The project covers the adventures of Tulse Luper (b. 1911), writer, collector and professional prisoner, who travels the world, leaving evidence of his obsessions, ideas, and works in a collection of 92 packed suitcases that purport to include an entire encyclopaedia of the planet and all that is in it, where nothing, absolutely nothing, is left out.

Cochise announces headlining WHY ALWAYS ME? World Tour kicking off in February

Fresh off the release of his fourth studio album WHY ALWAYS ME?, Florida rap star Cochise has just announced his forthcoming headlining World Tour – kicking off in February, 2025. Presale tickets will be on sale starting at 12:00pm EST on 11/20 (PW: WHYALWAYSME), while general on sale tickets go live starting at 10:00am Local Time on 11/22 (ticket link here). Taking Houston rapper TisaKorean on the road with him as an opener, Cochise will be embarking throughout North America during the tour's first leg, ending in his home-state of Florida on 3/30, before linking up with buzzing UK rapper Len for the majority of the European leg – concluding in Poland on 5/6. The recently-released WHY ALWAYS ME? arrived in October backed by a string of singles that included "GOOGLE ME", “YOSHIMITSU” (40M+ Streams), and the Aminé-assisted "NASTY". Boasting other features from Veeze and Anycia, WHY ALWAYS ME? served as a championship album celebrating a new era for Cochise — marking his first LP since 2022's THE INSPECTION and his appearance on the 2022 XXL Freshman cover. With production from BYNX (Drake, Travis Scott), Supah Mario (Young Thug, Lil Uzi Vert), CHASETHEMONEY (J. Cole, Juice WRLD), and Lex Luger (Kanye West, Chief Keef), WHY ALWAYS ME? is a nebula of intergalactic opulence, melting into Cochise's hypnotizing vocals and sky-diving delivery.

Hailing from Palm Bay, Florida, Cochise is known for a kaleidoscopic sound that blends elements of Jamaican dancehall, hip-hop, and trap with animated lyricism punctuated by deep-cut references to anime, sports, and pop culture. Hailed for his high-flying vocal acrobatics and hazy, ethereal production, he exploded onto the scene with his 2021 major label debut Benbow Crescent, which featured the RIAA Certified Gold hit track “Hatchback” (400M Streams). Cochise has since sold out a solo headlining world tour and collaborated with the likes of Lil Yachty, Chief Keef, Denzel Curry, Juicy J, Teezo Touchdown, Lil B, and more.

Eduardo E Mônica

> requested by @grafitti-translator.

> artist: legião urbana

> the first listen ^nd it w^s very unusu^l in terms of style, ^ lot of guit^rs with ^n old/folk rock-type of vibe. ^t first gl^nce the lyrics seem to be ^bout ^ m^tespritship between trolls, but it ^lso cont^ins some concerning themes (in my perspective).

from the get-go we h^ve:

Who will ever dare to say that there is a reason

For the things that the heart does?

And who will dare to say that there is no reason?

> the pumpbiscuit (or in this c^se, the he^rt) is, of course, linked tow^rds emotions and feelings. feelings ^rent ^lw^ys logic^l- even if you know why youre feeling th^t w^y, theres ^ disconnect between the w^y th^t the body responds ^nd the mind re^sons.

> however, the third st^nz^ directly contr^dicts the first. the l^ck of re^son is complemented by the re^son, fulfilling wh^t would be ^ppropri^te for ^ m^tespritship. ^fter ^ll, ^ m^tespritship built out of solely p^ssion wont l^st. you must be willing to compromise, to le^rn, to be willing to ch^nge yourself (not to ^n extreme extent however) in order to m^ke it work.

> ^ m^jority of this song is b^sed upon the story of eduardo and monica, so ill just reference some of the p^rts th^t c^ught my interest.

Eduardo opened his eyes but didn’t want to get up

Stayed on bed and checked what time it was

While Monica was having a brandy

In the other side of the city

> the obvious ^ge difference between the two is seen time ^nd time ^g^in throughout the song, from monica thinking of eduardo ^s ^ “little boy” to eduardos concerns ^bout being out for too long. ^nd while this isnt ^ red fl^g immedi^tely, i h^ve to ^dmit i r^ised ^n eyebrow re^ding those words.

> eduardo is very simple, in the w^y th^t trolls in ^ schoolhive tend not to worry ^bout ^s much ^s those perigees older might. hes ^lso tr^dition^l, preferring to st^y in his comfort zone ^nd h^ng out with his f^mily.

> on the other h^nd, monica is inclined tow^rds being unique, riding ^ motorcycle ^nd dying her h^ir. shes ^lso ^ very philosophic^l/emotion^l person, enjoying the ^rt of gre^t p^inters such ^s v^n gogh ^nd t^lking ^bout m^gic/medit^tion.

> the differences between the two ^nd their m^tespritship c^n be seen ^s ^n extreme ex^mple of ^n “opposites ^ttr^ct” m^tespritship. but the l^ter st^nz^s dissu^des you from s^ying th^t they h^ve nothing in common:

Eduardo and Monica had swimming, photography

Theatre and handicraft classes and went travelling

> ^ssuming this is ^ he^lthy rel^tionship ^nd neither ^re forcing e^ch other to join these cl^sses, these lyrics depict th^t eduardo ^nd monica still h^ve middle grounds they c^n meet upon, which grounds the “opposites ^ttr^ct” trope seen into re^lity.

> rel^tionships where two people ^re so irrevoc^bly different th^t they c^nnot ^gree on ^nything ^re doomed to f^il. even if it were, s^y, ^ kismesissitude, it would turn de^dly ^fter some time ^nd most likely require ^shen interference. eduardo e monica ^cknowledges this ^nd develops upon their stories more, giving them more depth ^nd their rel^tionship more me^ning.

And the two celebrated together

And also fought together, many times

> ^t first i didnt know wh^t to think of this lyric. theres so m^ny holes in the story th^t we dont know whether this is ^ he^lthy rel^tionship or not. in f^ct, this re^ds more like th^t of ^ v^cill^tion between m^tespritship ^nd kismesissitude. its not uncommon in medi^ for these rel^tionships to exist; however, they tend to be very destructive for both p^rties if not m^n^ged in moder^tion. this leaves eduardo and monicas future ^mbiguous ^nd up to our interpret^tion. yes, everyone s^ys theyre good together:

And everyone said he makes her complete and vice-versa

Just like rice and beans

> hell, they even stick together with e^ch other:

They worked hard for money and managed to hold

Everything together through their toughest times

> but theres just enough wiggle room for us to ^ssume ^ different perspective ^nd still be ^ble to find subst^nti^l implic^tions within the lyrics.

> for ex^mple, the st^nz^ ^bout them fighting often le^ves us questioning: to wh^t extent do these fights go to? is it ^ simple ^rgument between m^tesprits, or is it ^ different qu^dr^nt, or is it perh^ps even ^ toxic rel^tionship? ill le^ve you to dr^w your own conclusions.

> ^nyw^ys, my f^vourite p^rt w^s the beginning:

Who will ever dare to say that there is a reason

For the things that the heart does?

And who will dare to say that there is no reason?

> i ^gree with the mess^ge these lines ^re sending. emotions ^re illogic^l. but over time, they still end up m^king some sort of sense. the he^rt is ^mbiguous, ^s ^re ^ll of us trolls ^s individu^l people; the lines blur ^ lot between wh^t is “re^son” ^nd wh^t is “feeling”.

> in summ^ry, my perspective is th^t while eduardo and monica’s rel^tionship is cert^inly unconvention^l (the ^ge g^p still feels str^nge), there is love to be found between the lines. ^nd perh^ps th^t is the lesson of the song: th^t love c^n be where you le^st expect it.

> feel free to suggest more songs for my ^n^lysis if you w^nt, but i wont get to it quick. i h^ve other things ive been de^ling with.

Zdenka Fassbender Bohemian soprano; b. Děčín, Dec. 12, 1879; d. Munich, March 14, 1954. She studied voice in Prague with Sophie Löwe-Destinn; made her operatic debut in Karlsruhe in 1899; from 1906 to 1919 she was one of the principal singers at the Munich Opera; she also sang at Covent Garden in London (1910, 1913). Felix Mottl married her on his deathbed to sanction their long- standing alliance. She was particularly regarded as an outstanding Wagner interpreter, as Venus in Tannhäuser, Ortrud in Lohengrin, Isolde in Tristan und Isolde], Brünnhilde in Der Ring des Nibelungen and Kundry in Parsifal. She sang other important roles as Santuzza in Cavalleria rusticana, Iphigenia in Gluck's Iphigenie auf Tauris, Alceste by Gluck, as Valentine in Les Huguenots by Meyerbeer, Dido in Les Troyens by Berlioz, Katharina in Der Widerspänstigen Zähmung by Hermann Goetz, Minneleide in Die Rose vom Liebesgarten by Pfitzner, Gundula in Der Bergsee by Julius Bittner and Leonore in Beethoven's Fidelio.When Richard Strauss wanted to perform his opera Elektra in Munich in 1909, Faßbender took over the title role at his request. She also appeared in the Munich premieres of the operas Tiefland by Eugen d'Albert (1908, as Martha), Tosca (1909, title role), Der Rosenkavalier (1911, as Marschallin), Der arme Heinrich by Hans Pfitzner (1913, as Hilde) and Mona Lisa by Max von Schillings (1917, title role).Guest appearances took her to the Wiener Hofoper (1904), to the Staatsoper Unter den Linden (1909) and often to Stuttgart, to the court theatres of Wiesbaden and Mannheim and to the opera house of Cologne. She also took part in the Wagner-Mozart festival from 1907 to 1910. In 1910 and 1913 she sang Elektra and Isolde under the conduct of Sir Thomas Beecham in London and from 1912 to 1914 she sang in the performances of the Ring cycle at the Théâtre de la Monnaie in Brussels. In 1924, she announced her retirement from the stage. In 1928, she appeared again at the Munich State Opera as Elektra. She was a member of the Staatsoper until 1931.

Carrington 12 x9” oil on ACM panel

This painting is my artistic tribute to the surrealist artist, Leonora Carrington( I include one of her paintings-her painting is the lady carrying a rather large chicken).

I first met Leonora Carrington (b UK 1917-d.Mexico 2011) in a biography on one of my favourite painters, Remedios Varo. (Varo, along with Leonor Fini and Carrington make up the triumfeminatus of brilliant female surrealists working during those years.)

When Carrington’s lover, surrealist painter Max Ernst, was arrested (first by the French, then by the Nazis) in France in the early 1940s, Carrington made her way to Mexico.

It was here, she became part of the Mexican surrealist movement that was alive and well during the 1940s 50s and 60s.

She was interested in the esoteric. Just recently a deck of tarot cards she designed and painted for her own personal use have come to light.

In April this year, one of Carrington’s paintings – Les Distractions de Dagobert (1945) – was sold at Sotheby’s in New York for $28.5m, making her the highest-selling female artist in British history.

As well as being a painter and writer, Carrington was also a sculptor, a creator of tapestries and jewellery, a maker of lithographs, a playwright and a designer of stage sets and theatre costumes.

[faith-alhazred]

we are so close to the final of the Antique Mask story, because tonight we visit Le Theatre des Horreurs, the place that reveals lots of answers and, honestly - opens some new questions.

Le Theatre des Horreurs is a some kind of tourist trap - extraordinary place with exibition of eerie curiosities and evening show, quite cheesy - think of old horror B movie.

place owner is Albert, capitalistic businessman, who persuaded (and supposedly bribed) officials to trust him Zweig's exibits to take care of, and Albert is making some money showing them as a charity exhibition - all money from sold tickets would be given to people suffered from the fire in the wax museum.

of course, the investigators visit the exhibition to behold images of 47 murderers. or, actually, images of 46 murderers and Aristide Zweig himself. not the number 47 they expected, huh? 😁 while they are here, they can feel very dark energy, as every single statue looks very life-like, and their faces froze in expression of a great horror, like they had seen something horrible. the investigators inspect everything very thoroughly, sometimes even try to get a piece of someone - while almost physically feeling hatered from the figure they examine.

what about real number 47?

they would ask some of another visitors or Albert himself. and Albert honestly has no idea what they are speaking about, as he wasn't a regular visitor of Zweig's museum - he was there about three times, asking Zweig to sell some of his figures, and it was before Zweig even got number 47. but some visitors can tell that Zweig never made a statue of himself, it doesn't fit the whole museum theme. and one old woman specifically assured that number 47 was a loveable little man with a big eyes - i find roleplaying this little grandma so amusing, she's a darling)) does her description match with Fenning's appearance? yes, of course it does.

as Albert laid his hands on Zweig's collection, it gives the players the reason to suppose that he also has the box - and he does, as he has taken anything that could be used for his shows. but he is not a bad guy, so he would agree to return it to the rightful owner, if it's prooved somehow, and he also would appreciate a little reward for himself who had been taking care of the box. and if character decide to pay him - they can notice, that some of advance money that Fenning gave them is in old bills. out of circulation.

in both of my games the players persuaded and partly bribed Albert to gave them box, but i also would love to have a situation, when the players take Fenning to the Albert - only to roleplay Fenning's horrifyingly happy, sincere, and even a bit childish laughter, when he sees Zweig petrified.

so, the Mask in the players hands. they got enough puzzle pieces to solve the mystery of the Zweig's wax museum. what they will do next?

this i'll tell you tomorrow, it would be final part, whe i tell how both of my players' groups finished the story, and how it also could be finished.

thank you for reading! 🌿

Da Minetaro Michizuki (Tokyo Kaido, Dragonhead, Chiisakobe), un'indimenticabile opera ispirata al capolavoro in stop-motion di Wes Anderson: non un sequel, non un prequel e nemmeno uno spin-off, ma un vero e proprio omaggio d'autore che reinterpreta uno dei più significativi lungometraggi d'animazione degli ultimi anni.

"Non chiedermi di riportare il bastoncino."  In seguito a un'epidemia di influenza canina, il sindaco di Megasaki decide di mettere tutti i cani in quarantena sull'isola dei cani. Atari, un ragazzino di dodici anni, vola alla ricerca del suo fedele Spots...

SHONAN SEVEN #14 di Tohru Fujisawa (Storia), Shinsuke Takahashi (Disegni)

Siamo in Giappone, a Shonan, stesso quartiere e stesso istituto superiore che hanno reso celebre la coppia di teppisti conosciuta come OniBaku, all'anagrafe Onizuka e Danma. Protagonista di questa nuova serie di Toru Fujisawa, disegnata da Shinsuke Takahashi, è il rissaiolo Ikki Kurokami, a sua volta fratello minore di un leggendario teppista. Innamorato della bella e scatenata idol Madoka, conteso dall'amica d'infanzia Cacky e oggetto delle avances di una biondina esibizionista tutto pepe, Ikki coltiva l'ambizione di entrare nei Seven, ossia nella banda dei sette teppisti più forti di Shonan. Per realizzare il suo sogno (e tenere alta la bandiera dell'imbattuto istituto superiore Tsujido), dovrà affrontare a pugni e calci una serie di avversari senza scrupoli, tra cui il gorillesco amico-nemico Gouriki (detto Androscimmia Gori), il misterioso Haku Kamijou, gli Spike Brothers e lo scorretto Doumoto...

IL GIOCATTOLO DEI BAMBINI #7 di Miho Obana

Si conclude con il settimo volume la nuova BIG EDITION de Il giocattolo dei bambini, un'edizione riveduta e corretta, impreziosita da numerose tavole a colori e con contenuti extra aggiuntivi.

Sana Kurata è una bambina di undici anni, ma non è una ragazzina qualunque: sua madre è una affermata scrittrice e lei stessa è già una star della televisione. Akito invece è un bambino un po' ombroso ed è a capo del gruppo di bulli che domina la classe... Tra i due inizialmente c'è ostilità e conflitto, ma lentamente si instaura un'inaspettata complicità...

Opera premiata nel 1998 con il Premio Kodansha per i manga, ne è stato tratta una serie animata di successo, trasmessa anche il Italia con il titolo Rossana.

Per celebrare Miho Obana, la conclusione de Il giocattolo e la ripresa di Honey Bitter, quest'auutunno Dynit pubblicherà il cross-over Deep Clear, che vede protagonisti i personaggi di entrambe le serie con Sana e Akito ormai cresciuti e diventati adulti. Un titolo imperdibile per tutti i fan di Miho Obana e per chi ha amato le avventure di Sana!

ZANKYOU - RIVERBERO #1 di Tsutomu Takahashi

Satoru vive in un'area industriale, alla giornata, senza un obiettivo preciso. Nell'appartamento accanto al suo abita Segawa, un ex-yakuza ormai anziano e giunto alla fine dei suoi giorni. L'uomo chiede a Satoru di ucciderlo in cambio di cinque milioni di yen e di portare delle offerte in denaro agli eredi di tre persone che ha ucciso decenni prima. Il giovane inizialmente esita, ma poi scatta qualcosa: il seme della violenza che giace sopito nel suo animo si risveglia per dare un senso ad una vita mediocre. Inizia così il suo viaggio nel Giappone più underground, costellato  di personaggi sordidi e senza scrupoli, dalla desolazione dello Hokkaidō fino a Shinjuku Nichō-me, il famoso quartiere gay di Tokyo. Ad accompagnarlo ci sarà Daigo, un travestito invischiato con la malavita e, successivamente, il piccolo Kaiya.

Dalla penna di Tsutomu Takahashi, lo straordinario mangaka che ha firmato opere memorabili come Jiraishin, Sky High e SIDOOH, una storia struggente di vendetta e di violenza, che squarcia il velo su un Giappone oscuro di degrado e illegalità e mette in discussione le convinzioni sulla genitorialità e i pregiudizi di genere, e fa riflettere sul reale significato della famiglia.
