BOOK LIST 2024

TOTAL READ: 38 which is far less than last year but last year the bulk of the number was composed of Animorphs books and this year I read all three Baru Cormorant books which are monster doorstoppers so I feel the actual volume is probably about the same

as usual the books are listed with the time it took me to read them; if there's a gap of several months then I was probably reading a stack in rotation. i have ten on the hopper right now that i read a chapter at a time and then put it at the back of the stack. this is the only way to read. book ask game forthcoming i love to play book ask game

Sinbad: What’s it about?

So Sinbad (Brad Pitt) is an adventurer/seafaring thief who sails around Jack-Sparrow style with his crew of lovable misfits. When he runs into an old friend (Joseph Fiennes), his past starts to catch up with him, and as he heads of on a voyage to make things right, he has to figure out how to heal old wounds and decide what he wants for the future. This is all made more difficult by Eris, the Goddess of Discord (Michelle Pfeiffer), who has chosen Sinbad to be a pawn in her pursuit of power and chaos.

I think the voice cast is excellent: Pfeiffer as the smooth and sinister Eris is especially amazing, along with Brad Pitt as the carefree hero who has to reevaluate his priorities. Catherine Zeta-Jones as Marina, his old friend’s fiancée who joins his quest, is also solid, and the supporting cast backs them up really well. Eris is definitely the highlight, though: her way of speaking, the fluid animation of her character, and how her hair and clothes constantly swirl around as if she were underwater, or outer space (which she often is). She’s an incredible villain, well designed and well executed, and her character is at the heart of the chaos that changes the other characters’ lives.

OMFG I LOVE GOTHAM! 🦇❤

I look forward to this show probably the most out of all my current shows, which is pretty amazing to say about a series I was very, very unsure about during S1-S2. "Real" Batman fans shat on it from the beginning and it's kind of the red-headed stepchild of all the Batman live action series, but only a show this off the fuckin wall could capture the dramatic, campy, dark as hell spirit of the recent Batman era.

I love everything they do with the canon characters. They've diverged unexpectedly from their original origins but feel more true in where they've ended up than in many other versions. The possible exception to this is Bruce, who is played decently by David Mazouz though his physicality and voice aren't quite there yet, but since he's Baby Bruce and not Batman it can be forgiven. But I do love his dad-butler-only friend, Cockney Special Forces Alfred, played aptly by Sean Pertwee.

Cameron Monaghan is a freakin revelation. I've never seen anyone be quite this brave with the Joker. He's covered just about every possible interpretation of the character in the process of playing two distinct versions of him in their development. He's giving us what could arguably be called the definitive Joker performance, especially since he's covered every base there is on him.

The villainous heart of the whole series has always been Oswald Cobblepot and Ed Nygma though. These are two completely unique takes on the Penguin and the Riddler and how they came to be, but they both feel like real, worthy versions of these iconic villains. Their love/hate friendship-to-conflict-to-mutual-respect arc is excellent imo, and even though it disappoints the shipper's heart, it's the most believable version of a relationship that they could have.

I've really enjoyed the mostly invented female characters like Fish Mooney, Barbara Kean (who is leaps and bounds better now than in S1), Tabitha, Lee, and Ecco (who one supposes is a proto-Harley, as in some stories there are many Joker henchgirls who have filled this role). Batman has only a handful of associated female heroes/villains and most of them are younger than him, so they've definitely had to get creative.

Camren Bicondova's Selina Kyle is probably the most Catwoman Catwoman I've ever seen, since Eartha Kitt and Michelle Feiffer anyway. I've had ambivalent emotions about the show's version of Poison Ivy, though her most recent "stage" feels very canon. I wish Huntress or Batwoman or Batgirl were around, but they're like, not even born yet.

The last few seasons have been especially wacky and wonderful and I'm going to miss Gotham a lot when it's over. Where am I gonna go for my over-the-top, disturbing, child-inappropriate Batman content then?

Tonight my mom said that the series has gotten worse and worse over time and I asked her why. She said because it's so crazy and violent. I replied, "No. That's why it's BETTER."

Nearly outside my San Francisco abode in Belmont (yes!!!!) while I took another 3 week long workshop with master drawer a painter and thinker and even, gasp, talker! And funny to beat the band. He actually ended up having to kick one dear unhinged but wealthy soul—even Michelle p Feiffer and her lovely daughter were there—. I’m soooooooo relieved he didn’t kick me out. If you don’t know his work check it out. Anyway , this was before health intruded, I was still tryna learn and who knows, climb the recognition ladders, and so of course I turfed this quick, done standing holding a small notebook with I guess a little wc palette. while exhausted sketch. From the road, cuz you needed a key or $$ to get into nature in San Francisco, even then—2012 or so. Now I came across it on an external and thought, I remember that hot road. The thirsty grass. The already stricken pines. (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca3s5merlTZ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Cuando de tradiciones se trata, generalmente referimos a aquellas que representan un fenómeno cultural que moviliza a las masas con cierta periodicidad y frecuencia, celebrando rituales que conmemoran la ocasión.

Así las cosas, para nosotros el primer fin de semana de Enero que sigue a la rosca de Reyes siempre trae noticias y un ciclo de películas en Sundance TV para disfrutar y relajarse en casa durante lo que es, generalmente, un frío fin de semana.

¿Quieres saber más?, ¡Dale Play y sigue leyendo!

SundanceTV celebra al reconocido Sundance Film Festival con la emisión de diez películas galardonadas todos los días del viernes 11 al domingo 20 de enero a las 19:00 horas. El especial anual “10 días de Sundance” contará con las películas más aclamadas del festival.

El Sundance Film Festival, celebrado cada año en Park City, Utah, lleva más de tres décadas exhibiendo lo mejor del cine independiente. En anticipación al gran evento que tendrá lugar del 24 de enero al 3 de febrero de 2019, SundanceTV, canal creado por Robert Redford, presentará diez títulos aclamados por la crítica que se enumeran a continuación:

Viernes 11 de enero, 7 pm. Appropriate Behavior

Shirin lucha para convertirse en una hija persa ideal, así como en una joven Brooklynita políticamente correcta, bisexual y moderna. Ella fracasa miserablemente en su intento y descubre que todo es una experiencia desoladora y solitaria. Tras ser abandonada por su novia Maxine, Shirin se enfrenta a una tarea inimaginable: cambiar el refugio idílico de Park Slope por el loft de un artista compartido en Bushwick. Incapaz de dejar de lado los recuerdos de los insoportables altibajos de la relación, Shirin termina conspirando para recuperar a su ex. Appropriate Behaviour ganó el premio Tangerine Entertainment Juice Award en el Festival Internacional de Cine de Provincetown 2014 y fue nominado para el premio “Best of Next!” en el Festival de Cine de Sundance 2014.

Reparto: Desiree Akhaven, Rebecca Henderson, Halley Feiffer, Scott Adsit/ Reino Unido / Dirección y guion: Desiree Akhaven

Sábado 12 de enero, 7 pm. Triste San Valentín (Blue Valentine)

Dean y Cindy viven una vida tranquila en un barrio modesto. Para el observador casual, todo parece normal, aunque un poco apagado. Pero una mirada más detenida revela una pareja atrapada en una espiral descendente. Parecen tener el mundo a sus pies al comienzo de su relación, pero la falta de ambición de Dean y la tendencia de Cindy hacia la autoabsorción pueden causar grietas potencialmente irreversibles en su matrimonio. Blue Valentine fue nominada para el Gran Premio del Jurado por película dramática en el Festival de Cine de Sundance 2010 y Michelle Williams fue nominada a mejor actuación como actriz principal en los Premios de la Academia® 2011.

Reparto: Ryan Gosling, Michelle Williams, Mike Vogel, John Doman/ EEUU / Dirección: Derek Cianfrance

Domingo 13 de enero, 7 pm. Richard Linklater: Dream is Destiny

Destacando a uno de los directores estadounidenses más innovadores, esta película revela el camino recorrido por el autor desde sus raíces en el pequeño pueblo de Texas hasta su cálida recepción en el circuito de premios. Mucho antes de que dirigiera Boyhood, el intenso deseo de Richard Linklater de crear alimentó su trabajo fuera del sistema de Hollywood. En lugar de irse de Texas, optó por colaborar con artistas de ideas afines en la creación de películas modestas y de bajo presupuesto en un estilo de bricolaje. Los directores Louis Black y Karen Bernstein tejen discusiones iluminadoras con Linklater entre testimonios de actores fieles, miembros de la tripulación de mucho tiempo y profesionales de la industria. A lo largo de su carrera, Linklater trabajó con un grupo central de artistas, elevando el perfil de ambos actores y la creciente escena de cine independiente en Austin. La película fue nominada para el premio Gamechanger en el Festival de Cine SXSW 2016.

Reparto: Julie Delpy, Ethan Hawke, Sahsa Lane, Shia LaBeouf/ EEUU / Dirección: Louis Black and Karen Bernstein

Lunes 14 de enero, 7 pm. The Fits

Toni, de once años de edad, es hechizada por el equipo de baile que ve practicando en el mismo gimnasio de Cincinnati donde boxea. Enamorada por el poder y la confianza de la fuerte comunidad de chicas, Toni pasa cada vez menos tiempo boxeando con su hermano mayor y, en cambio, absorbe con entusiasmo las rutinas de baile desde la distancia. Incluso se perfora sus propios oídos en un esfuerzo por adaptarse. Pero cuando un misterioso brote de desmayos invade al equipo, el deseo de aceptación de Toni se vuelve más complicado. Magníficamente filmado y con una musicalización fascinante, The Fits es una experiencia transformadora y un retrato seductor de la adolescencia. La película fue nominada a “Best of next!” en el Festival de Cine de Sundance 2016 y obtuvo varios galardones, incluido el premio de la Crítica en el Festival de Cine de Deauville 2016 y el premio a la mejor narrativa, junto con el premio a la mejor actriz para Hightower en el Festival Internacional de Cine RiverRun 2016.

Reparto: Royalty Hightower, Alexis Neblett, Da’Sean Minor, Lauren Gibson/ EEUU / Dirección, guion y producción: Anna Rose Homer

Martes 15 de enero, 7 pm. Jacqueline Argentine

Un cineasta nos presenta el tema de su documental: la bella Jacqueline Dumont, una joven francesa que afirma haber descubierto una conspiración de asesinato encubierta. Aunque no está segura de la excéntrica veracidad de Jacqueline, el cineasta, sin embargo, recluta a un par de pasantes y se dirige al retiro holístico en Argentina donde se esconde, para explorar sus afirmaciones y filmar su historia. A su llegada, el cineasta comienza a dudar de su aventura, pero encuentra razones para pensar que pueda estar retratando algo grande, algo real, con su película cada vez más improvisada. Impulsada por la ingeniosa e ingeniosa actuación de Wyatt Cenac como el cineasta anónimo, Jacqueline Argentine es una hilarante y desafortunada aventura que explora la ambigua relación de un director con su oficio y que continuamente pone en su cabeza la base política de suspenso. El director, Bernardo Britto (ganador del Premio del Jurado por el Anuario del cortometraje del Festival de Cine de Sundance 2014) utiliza de nuevo el formato de mockumentary para crear una película lúdica tanto en forma como en contenido. Bernardo Britto fue nominado para el Bright Future Award en el Festival Internacional de Cine de Rotterdam 2016 para Jacqueline Argentine.

Reparto: Wyatt Cenac, Camille Rutherford, Alfredo Narciso, Richard King/ EEUU / Dirección y guion: Bernardo Britto

Sábado 19 de enero, 7 pm. In Bruges

Brujas, la ciudad medieval mejor conservada de Bélgica, es un destino acogedor para viajeros de todo el mundo. Pero, para los sicarios Ray y Ken, podría ser su destino final. El jefe de Londres, Harry, le ordenó a la pareja que fuera a enfriar sus talones en la ciudad durante un par de semanas. Fuera de lugar en medio de la arquitectura gótica, los canales y las calles empedradas, los dos hombres llenan sus días como turistas. Ray, aún atormentado por el baño de sangre en Londres, odia el lugar, mientras que Ken, aun cuando mantiene un ojo paternal en las hazañas a menudo profanamente divertidas de Ray, encuentra que su mente y su alma se expanden por la belleza y la serenidad de la ciudad. Pero, cuanto más tiempo permanecen esperando la llamada de Harry, más surrealista se vuelve su experiencia cuando surgen encuentros extraños con lugareños, turistas, arte medieval, un actor estadounidense que filma una película de arte europeo y un posible romance para Ray. Cuando la llamada de Harry finalmente llega, las vacaciones de Ken y Ray se convierten en una lucha de vida o muerte de proporciones oscuras cómicas. In Bruges ha recogido una gran cantidad de premios que incluyen un Golden Globe® para Colin Farrell en la mejor interpretación por actor en una película – categoría comedia o musical, y un premio BAFTA así como una nominación al premio de la Academia® en las categorías de mejor guion original.

A pesar de que sus esfuerzos son a veces torpes y no del todo profesionales, él realmente quiere ayudar al niño en este difícil momento. Bajo la tutela de Fitzgerald, Terri se hace amigo de dos inadaptados, Chad, un solitario nervioso cuya rebelión enmascara sus propias inseguridades, y Heather, una niña precoz cuya belleza demuestra ser una trampa en sí misma. Los tres adolescentes, tan diferentes en la superficie, encuentran un vínculo inesperado e imperfecto. Terri fue nominada como mejor drama por el gran premio del jurado en el Festival de Cine de Sundance de 2011.

Sinbad: Where are they now?

Brad Pitt went back to his old crew for Ocean’s Twelve in 04‘, and has been in plenty of things since. He had a brief cameo in Deadpool 2 as Vanisher, and last year was in a military comedy called War Machine that was disappointingly not an Iron Man spinoff. In 2019 he and a whole bunch of notable actors will be in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and a sequel to World War Z is in the works.

Catherine Zeta-Jones joined BP in Ocean’s Twelve as his love interest and formidable adversary; their scenes together are really funny. In 2017, she played Olivia de Havilland in Feud: Bette and Joan, which I only saw part of but really enjoyed. Her next show, Queen America, actually starts this weekend, and has her coaching beauty pageant contestants hoping to one day be Miss America. I suggest checking out 2013′s Side Effects, a really fantastic thriller from Steven Soderbergh, if you wanted to see her more recent-ish work.

Michelle Pfeiffer blew us away in 2007 with both Stardust and Hairspray (two of my favorite films) and did an excellent job in 2017′s Murder on the Orient Express. This year, right after her 60th birthday, we saw her join the MCU as Janet Van Dyne in Ant-Man and the Wasp, and it will be interesting to see what her part will be in next year’s mysterious Avengers 4. She’s also going to play a queen in 2020′s Maleficent 2, so we certainly haven’t seen the last of Michelle.

Joseph Fiennes was in American Horror Story: Asylum, and played Fred Waterford in The Handmaid’s Tale. Dennis Haysbert is also recognizable on TV, from his iconic role as President Palmer on 24 to this summer’s Reverie, and of course those Allstate commercials that make the most of his deep, soothing voice. Timothy West, who voiced King Dymas, played King Francis in Ever After 5 years earlier in ‘98, and was in a movie called We the Kings this year. I’m sensing a pattern...

Sinbad’s less prominent crew members have impressive resumes: voicing Jin is Raman Hui’s only acting credit, but he went on to direct Shrek the Third and became the animation director for the How to Train Your Dragon spinoff series, Dragons. Conrad Vernon has done lots of voice work for DreamWorks, including the Gingerbread Man in Shrek, and Jim Cummings, a voice acting legend, has 540 credits to his name; I’m sure you’d recognize him as the guard from Aladdin, among a ton of other roles. They really got a great team together for Sinbad, and I hope people rediscover it on Amazon and keep the legend alive.
