Just worried about you, that’s all.

Robert buys several packs of beer… for a party of one 😔. Later, in the pub, it’s scotch time for Robert where Louise shows concern for Robert.

Hey OP, I just found an article called "Kikkoman, USA" by Meredith Oda when I searched for anything related to WWII and soy sauce. It was published in the Journal of Asian American Studies, vol 23, no. 2, June 2020.

Take a look at Jōzō Sugihara. He massively expanded Kikkoman's soy sauce distribution after WWII, getting it into US supermarkets and such. I would not be surprised to learn that Ms. Appleton is a myth meant to explain Kikkoman's expansion when it was actually Sugihara who made those changes to make it easier to manufacture and distribute larger volumes of soy sauce.

I cannot fucking believe how much I'm losing my mind right now over soy sauce history. I'll tell all of you about it after I finish this essay because I need to un-distract myself enough to finish it but what the fuck? What the fuck is going on? I'm losing my fucking mind.

It makes a play at it in the very start of the film. It loudly proclaims that, HEY, WATCH THIS MOVIE, IT’S ABOUT FREE SPEECH AND THE HOLLYWOOD BLACKLIST!!!!! And it does it as loud as it can… …and then it kind of forgets what the movie is about up until the last 15 minutes. However, the bulk of the movie does seem like the kind of film that would fit in the Hollywood Blacklist Era. The plot, the acting, the setting, all seems to be very much a 1950s feel good movie… …and then it veers off again and delivers on the 1st Amendment moral to end the film with a light heavy hand…if that makes sense. So, it feels disjointed, but in a way that oddly fits the premise to begin with. Almost as if it is trying to be a movie in a movie, which might have been the point. Watch it once, it will entertain you. Watch it more than once and you’ll be bored.

South Solitary Review

Trigger Warnings: Death, Combat PTSD, Referenced Suicide, Sexual Assault/Dubious Consent, Cheating, Implied Pregnancy Loss/Abortion, Hysterectomy, Blaming the Victim..... yeah. it’s a lot.

here there be spoilers. 

I definitely went into this movie thinking it was a cute little story about a girl, her lamb, and her stern uncle. Boy, was I wrong!

Miranda Otto plays Meredith Appleton, the niece of George (played be her real-life father, Barry Otto). I’m going to use Miranda and Barry’s names instead of their character names, because that’s just easier to understand, I think, but please know I’m talking about the characters they play, not they themselves.

So, Barry and Miranda are sent to the South Solitary island because the Head Lighthouse Keeper committed suicide, and the lighthouse needed a new person in charge. Barry is incredibly strict and often rude, but I suppose that’s understandable, at least when it comes to how he treats his staff, considering the state they find the lighthouse management in.

Miranda’s character seems incredibly precious, shy, demure, and completely unfit for the rough life of living on a craggy rock with only a few other people for company. At the start, there are six other people on the island: the Stanley family, which consists of Henry Stanley (a rogue if there ever was one), Alma, his rough and sharp-tongued wife (played by Essie Davis), and their three children... and then the brooding, PTSD-plagued war-veteran, Jack Fleet.

There are some pretty upsetting subjects discussed in this movie, not the least of which being an extremely blunt conversation between Miranda and Essie Davis, in which Essie Davis’ character presses Miranda for intimate details about why she isn’t married yet, and hasn’t had any kids. 

Miranda reveals that she can’t have children, because an operation went wrong (it’s implied that she had an abortion, based on Essie asking, “you were up the pipe?”), and she was forced to have a hysterectomy as a result. She says the child was conceived with a married man (which I’m extremely confused about, because I thought the man involved would’ve been her so-called fiancé...?) and it’s very odd that they just drop that fact into the story, because it seems extremely out of character for Meredith, as we know her currently... and yet, it becomes a fundamental characterization, as she later goes on to sleep with a married man again, and defends how poorly her uncle treats her by insisting that he was the only one who would take her in after the (implied) abortion. 

Essie Davis is unsympathetic to Miranda’s sad backstory, and never warms up to Miranda’s character... so the opportunity for female friendship was sadly missed in this film. They are pretty much enemies from start to finish.

There’s also a subplot where Miranda tries to get to know the youngest child, Netty, but the girl is very hard to read. You can tell she’s had a rough life, and doesn’t suffer fools. Their “friendship” barely develops before Netty fails to care for Miranda’s sheep, and they have a falling out.

Also, there is an ambiguously rape-y, dubiously consensual scene where Henry attempts to seduce Miranda, and is... apparently successful? I feel very strongly that her multiple polite refusals of his advances ought to have indicated to the man that he should leave her alone. She seems incredibly naïve, innocent, and virginal in this scene (which is odd, considering she’s apparently had an affair with a married man before...?!). He’s pretty open about being attracted to her for a good portion of the scene, so Miranda’s polite rebuffs shouldn’t have been taken as consent---as in, he took the fact that she didn’t throw him out of her cottage at the first warning sign as “leading him on.”

To that point, she literally says, “I’m sorry if I’ve led you on,” and he says she hasn’t, and then like one minute later, when she insists she hadn’t noticed that he was interested in her, he acts surprised and goes: “well now you really are leading me on.”

When it becomes clear he’s about to kiss her, she gets this incredibly frightened look on her face, and says, “oh! there’s the milk boiling!” clearly intending to run away from him and tend to the stove, but he forces her to kiss him... and then the scene cuts to black, leaving me very concerned that he raped her.

We see them alone together two more times, one where he forces another kiss on her in the light house, and then another where it’s just a straight-up sex scene. I hate the angle they took the sex scene from, because it looks like Miranda’s body is in an extremely uncomfortable position as he pounds into her. It definitely doesn’t read as a romantic coupling, that’s for sure. 

I guess we’re meant to believe that she warmed up to him sometime between him forcing himself on her in the kitchen and them having sex in her bed days later...?

(I hate it.)

Anyway, Essie Davis finds out about the affair, and makes the whole family leave the island. This leaves only three people left: Miranda, Barry, and the war-veteran, Jack, who has frequent PTSD episodes and really shouldn’t be a lighthouse keeper at all. 

Also, Barry is PISSED when he finds out about Miranda’s affair, and there’s a lot of slut-shaming and victim-blaming that goes on, right before he just randomly... dies? I definitely didn’t see that coming. So he dies while still extremely disappointed in Miranda, and I just hate that, because her character seems fixated on what others think of her. His displeasure with her in his final hours definitely left a wound in her heart.

Which then leaves Miranda alone on the island with Jack. Miranda’s character isn’t good at being alone. The rest of the movie is honestly just her trying to get Jack to open up to her, but he doesn’t really. They embroider things together, and he teaches her how to be a lighthouse keeper, but they only barely scratch the surface of each other’s pasts. 

And then a ship arrives to take her home....?!! The end?! But not before she insists she ought to stay, which I found incredibly weird. She barely knows this brooding man, and suddenly she can’t live without him? She doesn’t want to leave him alone, despite the living conditions on the island being impossible for her to endure? It’s very strange.

I had high hopes for this movie, and I do think it’s worth watching, if only for Miranda’s beautiful, moving performance.... but I just sort of don’t know what the point or message of this film was supposed to be...? 

Miranda Otto’s character is treated pretty poorly by everyone on the island. There is very little happiness or humor to balance the darkness of the story.  Most of the moments that are meant to be romantic or sexy are dubiously consensual, so I didn’t find those very enjoyable, and the subplot about her lamb going missing (presumed dead) and then her finding it months later just isn’t that entertaining, if I’m being honest?

All in all, I’d give Miranda’s performance a 10/10, but the movie as a whole about a 5/10.

This marked the final appearance of Stan Richards who had been with the show since 1978 playing Seth Armstrong. Stan passed in Feb-2005 and his character Seth died the end of Oct-2005 prompting a few returns for his funeral. He was a lovely character that brought that extra spark to the show.

 Única función en el Teatro de la Ciudad “Esperanza Iris”

En Sábanas y susurros, Contradanza cuenta historias donde recuerdos, insomnios, secretos y erotismo se unen

** El programa, integrado por las coreografías de Cecilia Appleton: Tonos y Camas con historias se presentará el viernes 21 de febrero, a las 20:30 horas en el magnífico escenario de la calla de Donceles

Contradanza presenta Sábanas y susurros, programa integrado por las coreografías Tonos y Camas con historias. Son dos obras inspiradas en las relaciones humanas que se expresan en los espacios más íntimos de la vida cotidiana: el lecho y la memoria. Las plasman cuerpos en movimiento que revelan sentimientos convertidos en recuerdos y relatos conmovedores, llenos de amor, erotismo, nostalgia y reflexiones. La compañía dirigida por Cecilia Appleton se presentará en una función única en el Teatro de la Ciudad “Esperanza Iris” el viernes 21 de febrero, a las 20:30 horas, en el magnífico recinto ubicado en la calle de Donceles 36, Centro Histórico.

En 1991, la coreografía Camas con historias se convirtió en un referente de la danza contemporánea mexicana. Reunía, como en una polifonía en movimiento, las vivencias de la directora de Contradanza, Cecilia Appleton, y los bailarines que participaron en ella. Una generación de creadores confluyó en esta obra.

A manera de homenaje y a casi 30 años de su creación, esta obra regresa a los escenarios llevando a escena emociones y relatos de vida, y junto con Tonos, obra de repertorio de la compañía, integra el programa especial, que tiende un puente entre diversas etapas en la creación coreográfica de Cecilia Appleton, una de las creadoras más importantes de la danza contemporánea mexicana.

TONOS

Pasa el tiempo a través de nuestras pieles como un soplo sutil o inocua brisa que sin dolor, por años y sin prisa, hunde en el cuerpo sus colmillos crueles.               Eduardo Mosches

Tonos es el viaje anímico de una mujer por sucesos vividos en su pasado. Emociones, recuerdos y contradicciones nutren ese tiempo lejano, que en el presente ella se impone tocar nuevamente. La coreografía utiliza el cruce dramatúrgico de dos vivencias distintas: la de la mujer recordando y la del recuerdo en el que ella misma se visibiliza conviviendo con otros dos personajes con los que juega diferentes roles afectivos. Tonos es una coreografía donde se revelan símbolos patriarcales contenidos socialmente, y se reflexiona sobre los mecanismos de identificación, que no suceden como en las formas narrativas, sino desde la contención de la energía de los diferentes tonos de la memoria.

Inspirada en poemas de Eduardo Mosches, Tonos cuenta con las interpretaciones de Mirta Blostein (como bailarina invitada) y de Yseye Appleton, Mariana Rosales y Rosa Villanueva. La música original es de Arturo Marruenda, el diseño de iluminación de Francisco Muñoz. El diseño de vestuario de Alicia Jara y la asistencia de iluminación y traspunte de Elvira Ramos.

CAMAS CON HISTORIAS

La cama, compañera del fin de la jornada, sensual contacto del cuerpo en reposo, donde las personas se hunden en la almohada buscando un cómplice donde descansar el último aliento de su mente enredada de problemas. Secretos y gritos silenciosos se envuelven en el insomnio: castigo en la noche, rodeada de sonidos que salen de su interior; fantasmas que habitan sus recuerdos; pesadilla, frío de muerte.

En la cama se enredan los cuerpos, las espadas en movimiento no dejan de atormentarse y morbosos sus cuerpos, los rozan en un juego indiscreto, cálido y violento.

Cama, estructura inmóvil, testigo mudo; en tu espacio agonizan los días de la cuna al lecho de muerte. Mortaja del último sueño.

Diana Appleton

El discurso coreográfico de Camas con historias se basa en las diferentes apreciaciones que Cecilia Appleton tiene con respecto a la vida más íntima de los individuos: los diversos relatos amorosos de las parejas, el insomnio, la pesadilla, los deseos, el juego erótico, los sueños, etc. Episodios que transcurren entre los barrotes de la cama, el colchón y la sábana, que hacen que los espectadores se conviertan en curiosos observadores. Camas con historias no es lineal, no presenta la historia de un solo protagonista, sino que revela los estados emotivos de distintos individuos, los cuales en la convivencia íntima de su recámara colocan las piezas de un rompecabezas que contiene las historias privadas de sus habitantes.

En Camas con historias participan los bailarines Yseye Appleton, Patricia Hernández, Marco Antonio Hernández, Mariana Rosales, Carlos Ramírez, Rosa Villanueva. La composición musical original es de Joaquín López Chapman y Gustavo Rangel “El Gus”, y se suman fragmentos de obras de Oyuki Conjugate y Meredith Monk, con la edición musical de Joaquín López Chapman. El diseño de iluminación es de Francisco Muñoz con la asistencia de Elvira Ramos y el diseño de vestuario de Alicia Jara.

These Cities Are The New Magnets For Millennial Home Buyers

Last fall, Kit Kester, 32, and his wife decided it was time to make the giant leap into first-time homeownership. But they didn’t consider relocating to job-packed San Francisco, breakfast-taco-loving Austin, TX, mustache-obsessed Williamsburg, Brooklyn, or any of the other infamous millennial hotspots across the United States. Instead they centered their search on their hometown of Lincoln, NE. By October, they had purchased a three-bedroom, split-level home in the suburban neighborhood of Highlands for $180,000.

"We got tired of paying rent and throwing money away," says the maintenance supervisor and father of a young child. "And we really liked the idea of having a home for my daughter to grow up in."

Millennials bought 36% of homes last year, the highest share of any generational group, according to the National Association of Realtors®. Of that 36%, 65% went to first-time home buyers. But this vast army of buyers faces some unique challenges in their transition from renters to owners, including crushing debt loads and one of the tightest and most competitive housing markets in history. They may be buying homes in big numbers, but they can’t afford to do so in the nation’s largest, most expensive cities. Instead, many younger buyers are opting for more affordable—and unexpected—parts of the country.

But where? The data team at realtor.com decided to find out where younger Americans make up the largest percentage of purchasers, by looking at who is getting mortgages and where they’re getting ’em.

What we found flies in the face of conventional wisdom.

"At the end of the day, it comes down to what they can afford," says Roger Ma, a real estate agent and owner of Life Laid Out, a New York-based company that helps people reach their financial goals. "They might have started their careers in very expensive metros areas like [Washington] DC or San Francisco. But as they age, they often want to settle down and look for a home in a reasonably priced location." We used Pew Research Center’s definition of millennials: those born between 1981 and 1996—who are now anywhere from 22 to the ripe old age of 36.Then we calculated the share of buyers within that age group who bought homes over the past 12 months in the 200 largest housing markets.

Now let’s take a tour of the new millennial meccas!

Median home list price: $150,000 Percentage of mortgages issued to millennials*: 57%

Millennials, it’s said, are a generation about instant gratification. They want everything, and they want it now. Broad generalizations, sure, but in Appleton, young home buyers really are focused on having it all.

"They want an updated home, something with a new kitchen, updated bathrooms, and a large yard," says Carolyn Stark, a real estate agent at Keller Williams Fox Cities. "You can see the look on their faces when they see places that have been renovated, and have new flooring and carpet—that makes them happy."

Suburban communities in Appleton with lots of move-in-ready houses, for example in Kimberly, WI, are in high demand. Young buyers with families love the public school system, the short drive from the city center—and the fact that the median home price is an affordable $145,000, according to realtor.com.

There are also plenty of things for the younger crowd to do. You catch them flocking to the Appleton Beer Factory, a brewpub downtown that serves up burgers, fries, and, of course, beer, or boating or jet-skiing on nearby Lake Winnebago.

And the locals aren’t shy around their alcohol. In 2016, 24/7 Wall Street named Appleton the Drunkest City in America—a title that doesn’t seem to bother this crowd much.

Median home list price: $294,000 Percentage of mortgages issued to millennials: 56.9%

Renting in Des Moines isn’t what it use to be—it’s a whole lot more expensive. The median monthly rent price here is now $996, up 6.8% from a year ago, according to the latest U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development numbers. And so a lot of these buyers have wised up and realized that rent is often higher than a mortgage.

"The cost of a lease keeps going up," says Bryan Curtis, a broker at Attain RE in Des Moines. "People are looking at the grand scheme of things when it comes to their finances, and see [buying a home as] one of the best investments."

Now, Des Moines isn’t exactly cheap. The median home price is a bit higher than the national median of $279,900, according to realtor.com data. But many first-time buyers are taking advantage of federally backed mortgage loans that don’t require the 20% down payment, Curtis says. They can put down as little as 3% if they qualify for the right loans.

That’s not to say that many buyers can’t afford larger down payments. There are plenty of good jobs in the area, including those at Meredith Corp., which, after its purchase of Time, Inc., is now America’s largest magazine publisher. A gig at Progressive Farmer, perhaps?

It’s still affordable to own a home in Iowa. That is what’s driving people here," Curtis says.

Median home list price: $139,500 Percentage of mortgages issued to millennials: 56.8%

For much of the 20th century, Utica was known as the Sin City of the East. The city’s mob oversaw a slew of illegal activities in the area. But the only mob you’ll find in Utica now is the huge number of younger buyers chasing the newest listings in this city about four and a half hours north of New York City. These days, millennials might know Utica best as the home of one of the worst branches of Dunder Mifflin, the fictional paper company featured on "The Office." Of the places we ranked, Utica has by far the lowest home price. Around the city’s median price point, you’ll find lots of older, single-family homes in the upstate city’s downtown. Those willing to drop a bit more cash can get a much swankier home. Take this brick, two-story, four-bedroom home of 2,400 square feet, priced at $297,000. The home has a koi pond and a winding rock pathway that leads right up to the front door.

Median home list price: $376,700 Percentage of mortgages issued to millennials: 56.5%

Most of the places on our list are all about reasonably priced housing. The exception is Provo, where home prices are almost $100,000 more than the national median.

But high prices aren’t locking younger buyers out of the market here, because wages are also good. The city is home to Brigham Young University, Ancestry.com, and plenty of start-ups where computer coders can earn a fine living. That earned the city a spot on our our ranking of top metros for the middle class.

Provo homes cost a bit less than those in nearby Salt Lake City, at a median nearly $394,000. The larger city, about 45 minutes north, was ranked as one of the toughest housing markets for millennials by realtor.com. Many first-time buyers are moving to more family-friendly, suburban communities like Cedar Hills, around 25 minutes from downtown Provo, where they can snag larger homes. Just look at this 3,400 square-foot, five-bedroom Rambler-style home, priced at $479,000.

And all the 1990s kids who grew up watching "Jurassic Park" over and over are sure to dig (get it?) the dino fossils at the Brigham Young University Museum of Paleontology.

Median home list price: $175,000 Percentage of mortgages issued to millennials: 56.3%

Located on the banks of Lake Superior and in the state of 10,000 Lakes, Duluth is perfect for millennials who want to be far away from city life.

The homes younger buyers are gravitating to reflect that outdoor lifestyle. There are lots of affordable cabins in the woods, or two-story homes on huge sprawling properties with a lake or two in the backyard.

The younger crowd can make good money here. The area is home to one of the Midwest’s largest ports, and it has a strong manufacturing and aviation sector. Lots of big-name engineering firms, like Enbridge and Barr Engineering, have offices here too.

Median home list price: $210,100 Percentage of mortgages issued to millennials: 56.3%

For many Californians or New Yorkers, owning a home by the time they reach 30 can seem like climbing K2. But by that age in Lafayette, buyers have often bought their second home already, says Justin Netterville, a local real estate agent at Rome Realty.

"They want open floor plans, everything updated over [the last] five years, granite countertops, and 1,700 to 2,200 square feet, because they probably have two kids at that point," he says. And they can get it without breaking the bank.

The area has lots of oil field and machine shop jobs that pay entry-level wages of between $30,000 to $50,000—enough in this market to qualify for a first-time mortgage. But buyers had better be quick. One-story ranches in the suburbs for under $200,000 are moving off the market at a rapid pace, Netterville says. Lafayette offers things for families to do as well. To escape the summer heat, residents can stop by the family-fave Borden’s Ice Cream. And it wouldn’t be Louisiana without a few alligator exhibits, like the one on the campus of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Full disclosure: In 2016 one these critters escaped and took a stroll around campus.

Lancaster’s location, about an hour and a half from Philadelphia and just over two hours from NYC and DC, makes it appealing for buyers fleeing those higher-priced cities. However, these transplants are still city folk at heart, so they’re often buying homes downtown.

"It feels like half of New York is moving here, because everything there is so darn expensive," says Darrell Coyle, a local real estate agent at Charles & Associates. "They can’t get a doghouse in New York for the price [of Lancaster homes]."

These buyers want town homes with character built in the early 1900s, Coyle says.

"The younger folks want to live in the historic district and walk to the nightlife, great restaurants, and shopping," Coyle says of the downtown, which is undergoing a resurgence. "The city has rooftop bars with grass yards that overlook the city."

Just outside the city is the country’s oldest Amish settlement. Locals can stop by and snag the best Whoopie Pie of their lives—a treat some claim originated in Lancaster County. Just be mindful of the horses and buggies.

Lovers of Starbucks’ Peppermint Mocha can thank Kalamazoo for those minty, buzzy beverages. In the late 19th century, Albert Todd (aka the Peppermint King of Kalamazoo,) refined peppermint flavoring. But nowadays, the region is leading the pack for something just as sweet: homeownership.

Millennials here are snapping up homes left and right. Some of that is due to the fact that the increasing rents have made homeownership ever more appealing. (The median monthly rent climbed to $936, up 4.1% from a year ago, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development).

But that’s not all. Homes here are reasonably priced, and the huge life sciences industry—pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and biomedical firms— put these millennials in a position to afford them.

Some of the younger folks also may have larger down payments thanks to the Kalamazoo Promise. It covers up to 100% of tuition and fees for locals to attend public colleges in the state—a great deal for those who don’t want to rack up student loan debt.

Median home list price: $313,800 Percentage of mortgages issued to millennials: 55.4%

Many young people here are in a good place to transition to homeownership, particularly if they work in the region’s burgeoning tech hub. Lincoln and other Midwest cities, like the Omaha area, have gained the nickname Silicon Prairie, thanks to schools like the University of Nebraska-Lincoln churning out skilled graduates.

That’s partly behind the uptick in millennials closing on homes of their own, says Mark Meierdierks, a real estate agent at Nebraska Realty.

Many are trying to buy in neighborhoods like Highlands, about a 15-minute commute from downtown. It’s filled with both one-story ranches and two-story split-level homes. Most of the community’s homes were built in the 1970s and ’80s, and if the home has been remodeled, it will catch this age group’s attention, Meierdierks says.

"Their parents had a good house, so they want what their parents had, and they can afford to buy it now," Meierdierks says. "They want to live the American dream."

Median home list price: $170,800 Percentage of mortgages issued to millennials: 55.2%

Evansville is located right on the banks of the Ohio River in southern Indiana. The downtown is full of single-family homes that date back about 100 years, many with views of the river that weaves through the region. There are plenty of new or newly remodeled homes, too, with the open designs that millennial buyers crave.

The strong economy has put cash in the hands of younger folks here. The region is the headquarters for companies like Accuride Corporation, a vehicle components supplier, and Berry Global, a Fortune 500 plastic packaging maker.

"Evansville is a very affordable city," says local real estate agent Trae Dauby of Keller Williams Capital Realty. "The bulk of our buyers right now are first-time home buyers, probably between the ages of 22 and 35."

They’re typically local couples scooping up two- and three-bedroom houses on the suburban outskirts of the city, he says.

Buyers with some cash left over can head over to the Tropicana Evansville, a 45,000-square-foot casino in downtown. And sports fans can root for one of the local teams, like the Evansville Thunderbolts, a minor league hockey team, or the city’s minor league baseball team. Go, Otters!
