The Handmaid's Tale "Motherland" & "Safe"

[uluthrek]

handmaid‘s tale au where serena joy and naomi putnam are girl defined (people still die and serena still gets her finger hacked off)

video titles including but not limited to:

„god WANTS you to chainsmoke!🚬✝️“

„cheating doesn‘t have to be the end to your relationship!💔🙄💁🏼‍♀️“

„how to get your limbs amputated in a god honoring way 🕊️✝️(ft. naomi‘s husband warren)“

„reading may be preventing you from getting saved😱✝️“

„storytime: woman REFUSES to give me my GOD GIVEN BABY😱😨😰��😭✝️“

not to forget naomi‘s 300$ online course on god honoring marital sex and their brief collaboration with eden‘s small embroidery business that ends very abruptly for no apparent reason. june is the rachel oates of this universe and makes hourlong videos giving them the benefit of the doubt and microanalyzing everything they say and emily is an anon hater who tells them to kill themselves twice a week and doxes them on 4chan as a consequence of which moira breaks into naomi‘s house and steals her obnoxious little dog.

With a new last name, Naomi is stepping into the spotlight. Ever Carradine has been promoted to a series regular for the upcoming sixth and final season of Hulu’s flagship drama The Handmaid’s Tale.

Carradine joined The Handmaid’s Tale in Season 1, recurring as Naomi Putnam while being a series regular on another Hulu series, Marvel’s Runaways. Over the past five years, Carradine has appeared in 20 episodes of the dystopian drama as Naomi who was married to Commander Putnam (Stephen Kunken). She is the adoptive mother of a daughter that their Handmaid, Janine (Madeline Brewer), gave birth to. Widowed in Season 5, Naomi married Commander Lawrence (Bradley Whitford), taking his name.

Season 6 of The Handmaid’s Tale is stated to begin production this summer for 2025 debut.

Title: The Celebrants

Author: Steven Rowley

Steven Rowley quickly became one of my favorite authors after reading The Guncle, and in the same fashion, The Celebrants will have you laughing and crying as you ride the emotional roller coasters of these characters’ lives.

Jordan, Jordy, Naomi, Craig, and Marielle have been friends since college, and though it’s been 28 years since they graduated, their pact remains just as strong. Over the years, they’ve met up in Big Sur to throw each other living “funerals” as a reminder that life is worth living. But this year is different because Jordan has a secret that could change the terms of their pact.

I wasn’t expecting this book to affect me as much as it did, but it was so heartfelt and raw in the way that it shined a light on the struggles of adulthood and the challenges we overcome in life. These five friends didn’t get to see each other often, but they were always there to lift one another up when they needed a reminder that their lives mattered, even if they couldn’t see it themselves. Highly recommend this book, but be sure to have a box of tissues nearby!

*Thank you to NetGalley and G.P. Putnam’s Sons for providing a copy of this book to review.*

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Preview: 2023 IFFBoston

To paraphrase Nirvana: “Spring is here again...IFFBoston time”!  It is now my favorite time of year in Boston! My favorite film festival in Boston, in Massachusetts and possibly the world is Independent Film Festival Boston (read my coverage here).  I have a special place for this festival: in 2014 my documentary Life on the V: The Story of V66 had its World Premiere at the festival, and in 2015 I was on the Documentary Jury. Due to the pandemic, the scheduled 2020 festival was canceled and 2021 was virtual, so last year felt good to be back in-person. The 2023 film festival is at Somerville Theatre (Somerville), Brattle Theatre (Cambridge), and Coolidge Corner Theatre (Brookline) from Wed. April 26 to Wed. May 3, 2023!

2023 IFFBoston logo

Here are just some of the Official Selections that are on my radar:

Wed. 4/26/23: 

Opening Night Film is the documentary Love to Love You, Donna Summer. So fitting that the pop icon Donna Summer was from Boston and now she is getting the documentary treatment co-directed by Roger Ross Williams and her daughter Brooklyn Sudano and it is opening IFFBoston!

Thurs. 4/27/23:

Legendary writer/director Paul Schrader has been on a roll in recent years with First Reformed and the highly underrated The Card Counter (my #5 Movie of 2021). Now he’s back with Master Gardener with Joel Edgarton. In the modern comedy Free Time, a New Yorker decides to leave his job to re-assess his life, only to want his old job back.

Fri. 4/28/23:

Penny Lane has made some great docs in the past: Nuts! was one of my 10 Best Documentaries of 2016, Hail Satan! was one of the highlights of the 2019 Boston Underground Film Festival, and Listening to Kenny G. was really good too! Now she has turned the camera onto herself as she donates a kidney in Confessions of a Good Samaritan. Oscar-winning documentarian Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth) has made a doc about one of the most well-liked actors of the last 40 years, Michael J. Fox. I’ve been a fan since Family Ties and Back to the Future and I’ve been hearing nothing but great things about Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie since it’s Sundance premiere. A Brooklyn brownstone in 1945 is the setting for a seance in Brooklyn 45.

Sat. 4/29/23:

The Student Shorts Showcase is on Sat. afternoon and it’s free admission! My buddy James Rutenbeck has his short Nixon’s Reversal in the Shorts Gloucester Documentary program. 

When I was making my V66 documentary a few years back, I interviewed members of Boston garage rockers The Dogmatics because they were popular on the 80s music video TV channel V66. Skip ahead to 2019, I had heard about a documentary being made about The Dogmatics, so I reached out to director Rudy Childs and producer Jada Maxwell. We met up, talked shop and I stayed in touch with them about the project over the years. A few months ago I was lucky enough to see an early screener of The Dogmatics: A Dogumentary and I am proud to be a Consulting Producer. It’s really great to see this band get the music doc treatment and that there is a segment in the doc about their popularity on V66! I’m like a proud parent!

Sun. 4/29/23:

Join or Die is a doc about Robert Putnam. Aurora’s Sunrise is a doc about an Armenian Genocide survivor, told through animation. One of my favorite documentarians Steve James (Hoop Dreams is one of the greatest docs ever) returns with A Compassionate Spy about controversial Manhattan Project physicist Ted Hall. Pod Generation stars Chiwetel Ejiofor and Emilia Clarke in a not-too-distant future as they explore a new technology for fertility. Never Be a Punching Bag for Nobody is a doc directed by and about Naomi Yang who was in Galaxy 500 and is now learning to box. Speaking of Boston music, Beautiful Was the Fight is about several Boston female musicians and their struggles.

Mon. 5/1/23:

Mary Tyler Moore was a true entertainment legend, especially Mary Tyler Moore Show (re-watch that Chuckles funeral episode if you don’t believe me). Now she’s getting the doc treatment with Being Mary Tyler Moore.

Tues. 5/2/23:

The doc Time Bomb Y2K looks back at the Y2K anxiety that was building closer to the Jan. 1, 2000.

Wed. May 3:

The Closing Night Film is the romance Past Lives.

I’m excited about this year’s lineup. For info and tickets go to: https://iffboston.org/

The High Criminal Court of Gilead, in a special overnight session, found you, Commander Putnam, guilty of apostasy.... sins of the flesh.

THE HANDMAID’S TALE | 5x06 – “Together”

[iwasbored777]

Naomi is a lot better than Serena. She didn't need character development nor her husband to die to acknowledge that Janine was a victim and to be good to Janine and always thanking her for giving her Angela. Remember that she blamed Warren not Janine for what happened between them?

Hi, sweet girl. Can I give you a hug? Okay. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Have you been having fun, huh?

That's enough, please. Cecelia, come and get Angela, please.

You have a beautiful daughter, Mrs. Putnam.

I thank God for her every day. And for those who brought her to me.

I know this isn't the point of the serie...but Naomi looked SO good in her bridal outfit!

Like...

Bravo to the costume designer.

Eat that, Naomi.
