Mary Carey's entire music career is one impressive feat of "I was given 3 minutes of track time, I'm gonna sing the whole damn 3 minutes of track time"

-And please historically accurate costumes or at least something that looks Tudor. All of Straz's series plus "The Tudors" didn't even bother to try to imitate the period-appropriate clothing their plots are supposedly based on, they just took any costume that said medieval/renaissance and used it. It's a shame that a 60's Anne of a Thousand Days movie (even with some questionable fabric choices, French hoods that looked more like Russian tiaras and dresses that laced up behind the back) is so much prettier than modern productions; such as the movie The Other Boleyn Girl, while there are nice dresses like Anne's green dress, there are the "Cranach" costumes in England, Chinese robes in the courtyard, the circle-print dresses, Mary's really weird peasant dresses and Anne's very anachronistic and boring execution outfit. Even the most decent designs are made of satin and silk, forgetting that other fabrics like brocade, velvet and damask existed at the time.

-Please stop depicting Anne as a vile, greedy, home-wrecking bitch who mistreats her sister, not only by stealing from the king but also by forcing her to be her servant. While there are few details of her relationship with Mary, and it is very likely that they had very opposite personalities, it does not mean that she did not love her sister.

-Please stop portraying Mary as a stupid whore or an innocent victim of her family's intrigues, it is true that you cannot say no to a king, but there is evidence that Thomas Boleyn actually hated kings noticing his daughters, when rumors spread that Mary was the mistress of King Francis of France, his reaction was not to encourage his daughter to take advantage but to send her back to England and marry her almost immediately. She may not have been able to do much when King Henry VIII took an interest in Mary, but when the monarch's eyes fell on Anne, he sent her to Hever. That at least to me shows me that contrary to popular culture, Thomas Boleyn never pimped his daughters out, instead he did everything in his power to keep them away from powerful men whom they could not refuse.

-It shows Mary as someone with will and intelligence even if she shows it differently than her sister.

-It shows Anne as a bitch at her worst especially with Mary I Tudor, but also as the kind woman who gave the equivalent of political asylum to hundreds of persecuted Protestants. She used her influence with Henry VIII to stop executions for heresy. During her time as queen, there were no burnings of heretics. She did more charity work than Queen Catherine of Aragon did in her entire reign.

-Anne did not steal her sister's son, she actually took him as a pupil to help Mary, her husband William Carey, when he died, left numerous debts as an inheritance forcing his widow to pawn her jewels to pay them, in addition to the fact that the Careys refused to comply with the marriage agreements. Anne basically alleviated her sister's financial expenses by taking charge of her nephew's education by sending him to a prestigious Cistercian monastery, where he had as tutor Nicholas de Bourbon, a French poet whose life was saved from the Inquisition by Anne. Mary continued to have active contact with her children, because Anne only helped her sister.

-There is no evidence that George Boleyn was homosexual, in fact it is more likely (although this evidence is weak at best) that he was a womanizer.

-He was not an imbecile who only rose to greatness because of his sisters, George Boleyn was a skilled diplomat and poet, in fact many mourned his loss after his execution. She probably went to Oxford University and France. She was basically the male version of Anne.

-Please stop portraying Jane Parker as a gossipy shrew jealous of her husband's closeness to her sister, going so far as to give false testimony to get them executed. There is no evidence that the marriage between Jane and George was unhappy. It is very likely that her testimony was misinterpreted.

-As for the cast, Henry VIII, Catherine of Aragon and Mary I, were redheads, blue eyes and white skin, stop portraying them as dark-skinned, especially Catherine, not all Spaniards are dark-skinned with black eyes, this is told to you by a white-skinned Latina. Down with racial stereotypes.

-Stop forgetting Anne Boleyn's political and religious ideals, not everything was about annulling the marriage of English monarchs. She really believed in reform.

Filed under ‘penny for your thoughts’ :

In Age of X, when Magneto says ‘there must be a shrine in some remote corner of your being. A place of sanctity.’, in that entire speech, and in that moment, that place for him is Legacy. It’s Anna.

Because he didn’t imprison her as his own laws would have asked for; he didn’t kill her in the rubble to secure his fortress. He sheltered her. He preserved that corner of himself. Legacy (her ways and the world seen through her eyes) represents that piece of humanity in him while the rest of his soul is a butcher’s shop. He wants to trust her judgement even if her actions are breaking his world apart. He chooses to put his faith in her at the cost of himself and at the cost of the world he fights to keep afloat because he trusts her to be the better part of him. 

The story starts with Legacy reminding him of how long they have been fighting for, making him reflect on the meaning of their lives. And by the end of it he comes to terms with how tired he is of that struggle, of surviving just to wake up again and again to the same grey day. So when she exposes the cracks in his fortress he chooses to see the rays of light that are coming through.

Yes, I do love that story - it had so many details written with care and respect.

Character Inspiration | Deputy Sabrina Donovan

"Bad night?", Mary May leaned against the bar, clearly sensing how off Sabrina felt despite her attempts to hide it, "What did Rookie do this time?" The certainty of the question won a surprised chuckle out of her, "Nothing. Cal's a gem. Just missing... home." Something about how busy the Spread Eagle was that night filled her with nostalgia over the regular late-night outings with her fellow Detectives back in Portland. She could almost imagine twisting her head and meeting Oliver's devilish gaze instead of making eye contact with the tired local that was occupying the seat next to hers and ranting about John Seed being a pain in his ass. It would be just Les complaining Ollie is the biggest pain in his. "Gem?", it was Mary May's turn to laugh, "You sure you mean our Calahan?" "Ouch.", Hartley exclaimed all-too-dramatically as he slid into the vacant chair at the bar and sent a wink towards her, obviously encouraged by the choice of words, "I'd say I'm hurt, but we both know you don't mean it, Mary May." True to their usual banter, an eyeroll followed in response to his flirting, "Make yourself useful, Rookie, and cheer the Deputy up. Would be a shame if we lose her to Oregon, when she's keeping you in check so well."

JET Top 20 (2005).

[hotvintagepoll]

Marie Dressler (Dinner at Eight, Tillie's Punctured Romance, Anna Christie)—SHE WAS SO SCRUNGLY. A vaudeville star who didn't hit it big in Hollywood until she was in her 60s. She had the most delightfully expressively scrunched facial expressions and often looked goofy and manic as an old lady while STILL stealing the show from her hot young costars.

Timothy Carey (Convicts 4, Poor White Trash, The Killing)— The fact that Timothy Carey is an ACTOR is honestly an astonishing one. In most of his films you literally cannot understand what he says, why he's saying it, or again...how he became an actor. He frequently plays scum, delinquents, the criminally insane, and degenerates. Regardless, when he's on-screen he makes you want to watch him because by god he's going to do SOMETHING. WHO KNOWS WHAT THAT WILL BE!? He'll speak his entire dialogue through clenched teeth, dance his weird little heart out, and all the while looking at you with these big dark eyes that constantly have that quality of a dog that is too overstimulated. He is a greasy freak and I always get so excited when I see his names in the credits.

This is round 2 of the contest. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. If you're confused on what a scrungle is, or any of the rules of the contest, click here.

Timothy Carey:

Link to Convicts 4, Carey comes in around 48:00. According to the submittee "he will be eating sandwich and the first line is 'Johnnnnnny!'". [editor's note: as with all full movies submitted as propaganda, I didn't have time to watch them beyond a few minutes to gauge the scrungliness of the guys, so if you choose to watch in full be wary if you have triggers since I can't tag for them.]
