Wonderkid Factory | Part 1 | Turning Milk Into Cheese

A brand new #FM24 story kicks off today as we launch our 2nd #WonderkidFactory adventure. This time we're heading to the Netherlands to take control of the potential-ridden squad at #AZAlkmaar. We meet the squad and explain the challenge. Read here:

Having completed my Football Manager 2024 Pentagon Pursuit adventure far quicker than anticipated, I struggled for a while to find a new save that would bring us something a little bit different. So I went back to my own 24 Teams to Manage on FM24 guide (shameless plug) and took my own medicine to select an exciting new challenge. Inspired by our Wonderkid Factory adventure with Envigado FC on…

My friends, we're taking November off to catch up/relax, and then for December, we'll be reading a cozy classic! The top three on this poll will then go on to be voted on in our Discord. If you'd like to joy in, feel free to send me a message! The book summaries are underneath the cut!

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

A novel of manners about the romantic pas de deux between Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy, two perfectly suited lovers who, at first, find each other insufferable. Despite Elizabeth’s disdain for Darcy, fate seems determined to keep throwing this pair together: and Darcy, almost in spite of himself, will make revelations that will end up causing Elizabeth to question everything she believes. Set in a time when marrying well was a woman’s only way to assure a secure and comfortable future, Pride and Prejudice is arguably the forerunner of all romantic comedies and certainly one of the best-loved novels of all time.

Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier

Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again…

The novel begins in Monte Carlo, where our heroine is swept off her feet by the dashing widower Maxim de Winter and his sudden proposal of marriage. Orphaned and working as a lady’s maid, she can barely believe her luck. It is only when they arrive at his massive country estate that she realizes how large the shadow his late wife will cast over their lives—presenting her with a lingering evil that threatens to destroy their marriage from beyond the grave.

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and Other Tales by Robert Louis Stevenson

Stevenson’s short novel, published in 1886, became an instant classic. It was a Gothic horror that originated in a feverish nightmare, whose hallucinatory setting in the murky back streets of London gripped a nation mesmerized by crime and violence. The respectable doctor’s mysterious relationship with his disreputable associate is finally reveals in one of the most original and thrilling endings in English literature.

In addition to Jekyll and Hyde, this edition also includes a number of short stories and essays written by Stevenson in the 1880s, minor masterpieces of fiction and comment: ‘The Body Snatcher,’ ‘Markheim,’ and ‘Olalla’ feature grave-robbing, a sinister double, and degeneracy, while ‘A Chapter on Dreams’ and ‘A Gossip on Romance’ discuss artistic creation and the 'romance’ form.

Maurice by E.M. Forster

Maurice is heartbroken over unrequited love, which opened his heart and mind to his own sexual identity. In order to be true to himself, he goes against the grain of society’s often unspoken rules of class, wealth, and politics.

Forster understood that his homage to same-sex love, if published when he completed it in 1914, would probably end his career. Thus, Maurice languished in a drawer for fifty-seven years, the author requesting it to be published only after his death (along with his stories about homosexuality later collected in The Life to Come).

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

In this celebrated work, Wilde forged a devastating portrait on the effects of evil and debauchery on a young aesthete in late-19th-century England. Combining elements of the Gothic horro novel and decadent French fiction, the book centers on a striking premise: As Dorian Gray sinks into a life of crime and gross sensuality, his body retains perfect youth and vigor while his recently painted portrait grows day by day into a hideous record of evil, which he must keep hidden from the world. For over a century, this mesmerizing tale of horror and suspense has enjoyed wide popularity. It ranks as one of Wilde’s most important creations and among the classic achievements of it its kind.

The Secret History by Donna Tartt

Under the influence of their charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, eccentric misfits at an elite New England college discover a way of thinking and living that is a world away from the humdrum existence of their contemporaries. But when they go beyond the boundaries of normal morality, they slip gradually from obsession to corruption and betrayal, and at last—inexorably—into evil.

The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas

This swashbuckling epic of chivalry, honor, and derring-do, set in France during the 1620’s, is richly populated with romantic heroes, unattainable heroines, kings, queens, cavaliers, and criminals in a whirl of adventure, conspiracy, murder, vengeance, love, scandal, and suspense. Dumas transforms minor historical figures into larger-than-life characters: the Comte d’Artagnan, an impetuous young man in pursuit of glory; the beguilingly evil seductress “Milady”; the powerful and devious Cardinal Richelieu; the weak King Louis XIII and his unhappy queen—and, of course, the three musketeers themselves, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, whose motto “all for one, one for all” has come to epitomize devoted friendship. With a plot that delivers stolen diamonds, masked balls, purloined letters, and, of course, great bouts of swordplay, The Three Musketeers is eternally entertaining.

Quelques timides, Maxime Jeune, 13,5x18cm, dos carré agrafé, couleur, 150 page Les Machines, 2019

Façonné à la main, comme toujours aux éditions Les Machines, même si c’est un objet bien copieux et quasi tout en couleur, Quelques timides recueille de nombreuses histoires courtes de Maxime Jeune. Jeune est moins publié en album que d’autres de ses camarades (Louis-Honoré, Dubourg ou Géraudie ont trouvé le chemin des bacs de libraires), il est aussi discret, de facto timide (qui l’eût cru ?), mais son travail est tout à fait intéressant.

Le prétexte du recueil est des histoires sans rapports entre elles où les personnages ont tous des difficultés dans le rapport social, les émotions. Ce n’est pas si vrai, ni si faux, c’est le terreau de tous les récits de Jeune (même si un est scénarisé par Alexandre Géraudie) de toute façon. Cette phrase est d’ailleurs comme un jeu de mots d’une étonnante première histoire à base d’hommes devenant des arbres. Le dessin de jeune est tremblotant, mais pas hésitant, il épouse ses thèmes avec habiletés. Les récits vont du quasi quotidien au fantastique, et on s’étonne de la cohérence de l’ensemble. Il est temps de lire plus de Maxime Jeune. (MR)

Movie Review | The Hills Have Eyes (Aja, 2006)

Compared to the original, this firmly places our POV with the heroes, which arguably makes this dramatically sturdier but conceptually less interesting. The original mirrors the villains to the heroes, establishing them in detail as a parallel family unit, and letting us grasp to some extent their intelligence and sense of strategy. To some degree, we're meant to identify with them along with the heroes. Here, the villains are kept in the periphery, lurking in the shadows like monstrous silhouettes. (The makeup effects are appropriately hideous.) It's an effective choice in letting us feel besieged, but also a less subversive one in challenging our perspective, and it means that the casting of recognizable actors like Billy Drago and Robert Joy in those roles is mostly for naught.

And while Craven kept the politics of his movie implicit in the premise and its post-Vietnam context, this one insists on spelling them out. There's a Democrat voter hero afraid of guns but forced to use one, a miniature American flag being put to grisly use, and a speech by one of the villains explaining their circumstances as blowback for the American military's actions. This does feel like the work of foreign filmmakers actively trying to make a statement about America, while the original was the result of a more lived in perspective. I don't think any of this grinds the movie to a halt, but it does feel a bit clumsy.

All that being said, this is still a pretty potent piece of horror and near the top of the 2000s remake wave by virtue of the gruesome panache with which Alexandre Aja executes the material as he finds the most heinously violent ways to punctuate the beats it borrows from the original. And like the crueler horror films of the era, some of this has the visual texture of a rusty nail, but unlike those, this is at times beautiful in its harshness, with Maxime Alexandre's cinematography capturing the hostile landscape of the Moroccan desert locations in punishingly bright sunlight.
