During the Second War, Miles Ward and Eld Candell rode together during a few missions with the 5th Mounted Blunder Brigade. They weren't called that because of mishaps or mix-ups in their missions but were one of the first to receive black powder weaponry from dwarves of Dun Morgh.
Eld along with Reece Langston had been the first to volunteer during a rescue mission into the heart of the Hinterlands to free a captured Wildhammer clansman. Miles Ward having joined a newly commisioned covert group within the burgeoning Alliance was given his first command with the mission called Operation Blue Feather. With a few others, six men and Ward had entered the troll territory in search of the captured thane. Sadly the mission turned out to be a bust as the dwarf had already tried to escape three times and paid for it with a healthy dose of wyvern poison. A mangled corpse was also the disturbing prize.
But for what they had lacked in rescuing the thane they had come upon a nest of gryphon eggs taken and a matriarch as well that the squad was able to free. A harrowing escape on gryphon back led to a marginal heroes welcome among the tattooed master of flight.
Candell, Langston, and Ward would part as comrades but definitely would end up in different parts of the world before establishing any further of a relationship. As the riflemen returned to their company and quieter days while Miles continued into a world of espionage and intrigue among SI:7.

Já assistiu Malena? Não? Então você precisa assistir!
A primeira vez que assisti o filme Malena do cineasta italiano Giuseppe Tornatore, foi na TV aberta na sessão de sábado na TV Globo. Tinha por volta dos meu 9 para 10 anos e me recordo da beleza de Mônica Bellucci no papel título do filme. Me lembro que fiquei fascinada pela desenvoltura e sensualidade da atriz no auge da beleza.
Malena é um dos meus filmes preferidos que tem como pano de fundo a segunda guerra mundial. O filme se passa no final da guerra e conta a história do adolescente Renato e seu interesse quase obsessivo pela filha do seu professor, Malena Scordia.
Renato mora em uma pequena vila na sicilia junto com seus pais e mais três irmãos mais velhos que ele. Renato como todo adolescente em face de puberdade começa a nutri desejos sexuais e a competir pela atenção das meninas mas ao conhecer uma jovem senhora casada cujo o marido se encontra na África lutando pela Itália, se vê envolvido numa quase obsessiva perseguição pela atenção da jovem.
Madalena Scordia, mais conhecida como Malena é personificação da sensualidade feminina, é desejada por todos os homens da cidade, mas seu coração pertence a um único homem, seu marido Nino Scordia um soldado da frente italiana mandado para combate no continente africano. Malena é filha única de um velho professor que leciona em uma escola em que Renato estuda. Por vezes é motivo de chacota por parte dos alunos que se aproveitam da deficiência da perda de audição dele para proferir maldizeres contra Malena.
No filme a personagem Malena atua como agente passiva, e tudo se passa no ponto de vista do personagem Renato. Mesmo Malena não tendo muitas falas, podemos vê através de suas expressões faciais os sentimento expostos como a tristeza retrata em seu olhar, sempre com o rosto cabisbaixo. Malena é invejada pelas mulheres da vila, o que aumenta quando se chega a notícia falsa do falecimento do Nino, que faz que muitas temem perderem seus maridos. Podemos notar como a rivalidade feminina causou a destruição na vida de Malena, depois da perda do marido e da morte do pai em um bombardeio aéreo, ela se vê sozinha e renegada pela sociedade, para os homens em apenas um objeto de seus desejos impróprios, para as mulheres uma rival a altura. Renato parece ser o único a solidarizar com destino da mulher, que chega a se prostituir pelo um prato de comida.
Malena fala sobre a descoberta da sexualidade, mas também do papel da mulher no século XX. Me pego a pensar que o destino de Malena poderia ser diferente se ela fosse acolhida pelas pessoas do vilarejo. Ela foi julgada por ser bonita, jogada na cova dos leões, foi lhe tirada sua casa, seu sustento, foi acusada injustamente por um crime que não cometeu, obrigada a se prostituir, espancada em praça pública e condenada definitivamente pela a sociedade local a não pisar mais em sua terra. E para quer afinal? Por meros preconceitos.
A parte boa do filme é que temos um reencontro. O marido de Malena, reaparece, após um desencontro na troca dos nomes dos mortos. Acontece que com a confusão, Malena já não se encontra na cidade, e fica para Renato escrever uma carta em que conta que Malena deve que ir embora pegando um trem para outro vilarejo.
No final do filme vemos Renato com seu novo amor, uma jovem de sua idade, observando com toda a cidade a chegada triunfal por assim dizer de Malena e seu marido. Aqui vemos mais uma hipocrisia da sociedade local, Malena antes desprezada, é acolhida como se nada tivesse acontecido pelas moradoras, em sinal de uma virtude inexistente do parte dessas senhoras.
Queria muito uma continuação, não bem uma continuação mas sim uma prequela da vida de Malena aos fatos anteriores ao ocorrido, sobre a perspectiva dela. O que o ocorreu durante esse tempo em que ela esteve afastada? Acho que nunca saberemos. Mas Malena é realmente uma obra de arte, um figurino impecável, cenários incríveis, fotografia genial e uma música inesquecível composta pelo magnífico Enio morricone.

Of the 19 hijackers who carried out the Sept 11 attacks:
15 were from Saudi Arabia (a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)
2 were from the United Arab Emirates (also a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)
1 was from Egypt, 1 from Lebanon.
None of the hijackers were from Iraq.
None of the Sept 11 hijackers were Iraqi.
None of the 9/11 hijackers were from Iraq.
#9/11#serious post#not a shitpost#this should be one of the first things kids learn when they learn about the 9/11 attacks#politics#this is just...it's such an essential and brazen fact and i rarely see basic outrage over it#i want outrage. i want fury. i want disgust over the way fundamental facts are disguised and discarded and downplayed#because there are things we should KNOW. basic fact we should ALL KNOW. and they are tucked away in the footnotes.#and no this is NOT to put the blame on other middle eastern countries#we know this was carried out by a specific terrorist organization not a national government#but King George the Second decided (and was encouraged by his cabinet!) to invade a nation!#a nation that was not at all related or responsible!!!#a dictatorship to be sure--but a dictatorship that King George the First had been happy to support#so what changed? why did we go in guns blazing to DEMOLISH a country *we had NO PLANS OF REPAIRING*???#well. because they wanted a villain didn't they. a nice clean war. clarity of purpose. us the heroes against them the villains#and when you're in that mindframe--truth is irrelevant. you can pick your villain (your victim) by rolling a roulette wheel#truth is irrelevant#worse: to the people in charge#truth is a HINDRANCE#'Alternative facts' existed long before it became a catchphrase#facts don't matter. truth doesn't matter. the impulses of a handful of volatile & rich & power-high people--that's History. congratulations

I know I'm a week late but I do think people are misunderstanding the point of the Anthony Bourdain quote about Kissinger
The point was never "Anthony Bourdain has good politics and is an unproblematic fave," the point is that even someone with mainstream liberalish politics who goes to Cambodia for a food tour - a, let's be honest, very bougie type of trip to be part of your job - and has a basic understanding of history and a bare minimum of human decency can come away from that bougie food tour wanting to murder Henry Kissinger with their bare hands. The point is that Henry Kissinger fucked up this country so bad the only reason he wasn't lynched decades ago is because it's on the opposite side of the world and the people who were in proximity to him never really saw what it was. The point is that if we could see firsthand what our First World politics do to the Third World we would understand that monsters walk among us and it's a cultural failing that we let them die at home at 100 years old surrounded by their friends and family.
#henry kissinger#the unifying theory of fuck that guy#i use first and third world intentionally here because that is the exact political structure in play#first world didn't mean rich or privileged or important#it meant the us and its allies#the second world was the ussr#and the third world was the countries we were fighting over in the quote-unquote cold war

Star Wars finally using the twin trope to its fullest advantage: mistaken identity, one good one evil, full-bodied telepathy, one impersonating the other, and having the same actor play both.
