The Featherweight | Official Trailer

Knew someone was making a Willie Pep film. Didn't realize it was already made. Hopefully someone picks it up and gets released somwhere.

Based on the true story of the winningest American boxer in the history of the sport. The Featherweight is coming to theaters September 20th. Set in the mid-1960s in Hartford, Connecticut, The Featherweight presents a gripping chapter in the true-life story of Italian-American boxer Willie Pep the winningest fighter of all time—who, down and out in his mid-40s and with his personal life in shambles, decides to make a return to the ring, at which point a documentary camera crew enters his life. Painstakingly researched and constructed, the film is a visceral portrait of the discontents of twentieth-century American masculinity, fame and self-perception. The feature debut of director Robert Kolodny had its world premiere at the 80th Venice International Film Festival. The impressive cast is led by James Madio (The Penguin, Band of Brothers), Ruby Wolf in her feature debut, Keir Gilchrist (Love & Death, Atypical), Stephen Lang (Avatar Franchise), Ron Livingston (The Flash, Loudermilk) Lawrence Gilliard Jr. (The Walking Dead, One Night in Miami), Shari Albert (The Brothers McMullen) and undefeated professional featherweight boxer Bruce Carrington. Presented by Appian Way Productions and Golden Ratio Films.

CAI O PANO: O ÚLTIMO CASO DE POIROT | Agatha Christie, 1975

"[...] Agora, você precisa saber de uma coisa Hastings. Todo mundo é um assassino em potencial. Em todos nós, surge, ocasionalmente, o desejo de matar, embora sem a determinação de matar [...]"

Sobre o enredo:

O capitão Hastings retorna à Styles, após longos anos, a pedido de seu querido amigo Hercule Poirot. A mansão agora é uma pousada dirigida por um casal de idosos e hospeda suspeitos inusitados do novo crime que Poirot previa estar prestes a acontecer. Uma nova cena de assassinato em Styles.

Nos deparamos com a filha do capitão Hastings, Judith, entre os hóspedes. Uma jovem cientista, dona do próprio nariz, que trabalha com um médico focado chamado Dr. Franklin, esposo de Barbara Franklin, uma inválida hipocondríaca, cuidada pela enfermeira Craven.

Do casal que dirige a hospedaria, a sra. Lutrell é quem dá conta da administração e finanças. Completamente temperamental, humilha o marido por diversas vezes. Nos encontramos também com William Boyd Carrington, homem agradável, conhecido de juventude da sra. Franklin. Stephen Norton, aparentemente inofensivo, cujo hobby é observar pássaros. Allerton, um galanteador de má fama e uma mulher por volta dos 30 anos, a srta. Cole. Pessoas maravilhosas, nas palavras de Poirot. E um deles é o assassino.

Poirot, já idoso, paralítico, expõe cinco casos, supostamente desconexos, ao capitão Hastings, e pede que seu amigo seja seus olhos, ouvidos, braços e pernas, pois há um envolvido X entre esses casos, e haverá um assassinato em breve.

Sobre a leitura:

Um livro relativamente curto. Leitura boa, porém as últimas páginas sempre tem aquele gosto de "não acredito que chegou ao fim", pelo menos para mim. Terminei no horário livre da faculdade, em uns três dias, acredito eu. Gostei bastante da proposta do último livro de um detetive, afinal, quem melhor para cometer um assassinato perfeito do que o próprio?

Considerações:

A moral da história pode ser resumida como: não coloque a mão no fogo por ninguém. Nem por si próprio.

Todos estamos sujeitos ao desejo de matar, basta que esse desejo se encontre com a determinação e as circunstâncias certas. Quantas vezes não mentimos para nós mesmos dizendo que nunca faríamos algo e hoje vivemos exatamente isso? Quantas vezes não nos desmascaramos hipócritas diariamente? ou mesmo, quantas vezes confiamos cegamente no que as pessoas dizem? e, quantas vezes somos influenciadas pelas pessoas nas nossas ações?

São questões a se refletir quando você se depara com uma figura de justiça, que passou a vida inteira dedicando-se a defender os inocentes, chegando ao fim de sua carreira com um assassinato. Poirot matou. Arthur Hastings também matou. Stephen Norton, principalmente, se mostrou o verdadeiro vilão da trama: sempre no lugar certo, com as palavras certas, para as pessoas certas. O nível de manipulação dele nos cinco casos e durante os acontecimentos em Styles mostrou que Poirot chegou ao seu extremo, completamente desafiado. Todos chegaram ao seu extremo, na verdade. Tudo completamente calculado.

Uma história em que eu não tive empatia por nenhum personagem, para ser sincera — exceto pelo Hastings, porque Poirot estava meio de lado, pela sua condição. Não gostei de ninguém, haha. Mas vale a pena passear pela forma que a história é delineada. Cada livro, um tipo diferente de assassinato, algo novo, um formato que não tinha lido dela antes. Acredito que a sequência que li as obras foi sensacional e não deveria ser de outra forma. Leituras proveitosas, vou sentir muita falta (meus livros físicos acabaram, li tudo). Tentarei me programar para ler outras coisas e outros autores, mas não garanto nada.

Au revoir, mon ami Poirot.

FLP CHAPBOOK OF THE DAY: Beneath the Blue Umbrella by Karen Marker

On SALE: https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/beneath-the-blue-umbrella-by-karen-marker/

Beneath the Blue Umbrella tells stories of #generational #trauma and #mental #illness amid the daily miracles of #life and the natural world. With the sudden death of the narrator’s sister comes the freedom to uncover #family secrets. Through poetry and short prose, the reader journeys from mental institutions, mid-century bedrooms, cemeteries and battlefields to intimate backyard forests and Rocky Mountains peaks. While the book speaks to the heart of those who have suffered from the stigma surrounding mental illness and struggled to understand the pain passed down through families, ultimately it is about living beneath an umbrella of love, finding interconnection, resilience and healing through our shared rituals and creative work.

Karen Marker is an Oakland- based writer who trained and worked as a school psychologist for thirty-five years before turning her full attention to writing poetry, essays and flash memoir. Her work explores themes of loss, trauma, and mental illness and is informed by her belief that the creative arts and encounters with the natural world are paths to healing. Karen’s poetry has been published in anthologies and journals including The MacGuffin, The Monterey Poetry Review, the Haight Ashbury Literary Journal, Slant Poetry, Wingless Dreamer and Vistas and Byways Literary Review, where she has also served as an editor. It can also be found in the Kent State University May 4th Special Collections and Archives. She has won awards through the Keats Soul-Making Literary Competition and the Ina Coolbrith Circle.

PRAISE FOR Beneath the Blue Umbrella by Karen Marker

Karen L. Marker’s poetry collection, Beneath the Blue Umbrella, gathers a family’s secrets and ghosts into a wildly gorgeous bouquet of whispers and singing and memory punctuated by the shock of grief’s “scream like fighter jets.” Though these poems take us dark places to examine the burdens of mental illness, dementia, and loss dragged heavy through the speaker’s history, we are also, in poem by poem, “always being pulled / into light.” Even Marker’s difficult poems are incandescent as she reminds us, page by glowing page, of how the unlikeliest of things can save us— “a little silver splash of paint,” a “nightingale’s voice / break[ing] open the silence,” and “curtains…clear enough to see through to the trees.”

–Francesca Bell, Marin County Poet Laureate, author of Bright Stain and What Small Sound

Graphic, harrowing, lyrical. The poems and prose of “Beneath the Blue Umbrella” will haunt any reader, especially those with personal or family histories of mental illness. Five stars–please read, and re-read, over and over.

–Stephen P. Hinshaw, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of Psychology, University of California, Berkeley; Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of California, San Francisco; Author, “Another Kind of Madness: A Journey Through the Stigma and Hope of Mental Illness”

Karen Marker’s tender and haunting poems of loss, secrets, and revelations, swirl with lyricism and deep feeling, like the young girl “almost flying—wearing/ a red velvet dress” and the adult sisters who dance to make a memorial “on the smooth wooden floor surrounded by mirrors/ reflecting ourselves back to each other.” These poems and flash memoir pieces yearn and mourn, dig deep into the past and rise up “like the cypress trees making new trees from knobs/in the grass.” They honor creativity and the life force—in a beloved mother, a half-sister, and ancestors as well as in historical figures such as Leonora Carrington and Dr. Karl Menninger. In this blazingly beautiful collection, we hear “the sound of all that hides, all that wants to be discovered.”

–Kathleen McClung, author of A Juror Must Fold in on Herself and Temporary Kin, Questions of Buoyancy, Temporary Kin, The Typists Play Monopoly, Almost the Rowboat

Takeaways From The Lakers Friday Win

Last week, the Los Angeles Lakers overcame the Golden State Warriors, earning a slot in the Western Conference Finals and in NBA history.  Rise From the Bottom This past Friday (May 12) adds another win to an unexpectedly positive season for this underdog team. The season began extremely tough for the Lakers, with a noticeably unbalanced roster that led to loss after loss throughout October and November. As a result, the Lakers began the 2023-2024 season with a 2-10 record. Just a matter of months ago, few thought this team could find the chemistry to pull it together on the court. Currently, they’re only eight wins away from claiming the championship title. https://twitter.com/Jarreddaviss/status/1655815825675423744 It’s undeniably the most impressive in-season turnaround in the league's history. The Lakers made it official on Friday (May 12) by becoming the only team in American professional sports history to come dead last in their division and still make the final four for the playoffs. The only other team in NBA history that’s managed to grab a spot in the conference finals after starting 2-10 is the 1977-78 Seattle Supersonics. The win against the Golden State Warriors is especially imposing when you factor in their stacked lineup, including the league's best 3-point shooter Stephen Curry and four-time NBA champion Andre Iguodala. “One thing about when you play Golden State, you don't have an opportunity to relax. You just don't, so I'm not worried about us going in there comfortable. You just can't do it vs. Golden State. It's not possible." Lebron James told reporters following their 104-101 win against the Warriors last Monday (May 8). https://twitter.com/ishfromtwitt3r/status/1657242952597381120 What's Left for Lakers With the Lakers now in high spirits, they still have many obstacles to face before they can claim the trophy. They’ll face off against the Denver Nuggets to kick off the NBA Western Conference finals.  If that wasn’t already intimidating enough, they’ll still have to beat either the Boston Celtics or Philadelphia 76ers, both being tougher opponents than any team thus far. Nonetheless, the Lakers have already beat the odds in a massive way. Lately, in NBA news, there’s been plenty of discourse surrounding the definition of failure. Notably, Giannis Antetokounmpo gave a reporter a poignant response following a recent loss to the Miami Heat that resulted in the Milwaukee Bucks elimination. “There's no failure in sports. You know, there's good days, bad days. Some days you are able to be successful, some days you're not. Some days it's your turn, some days it's not your turn.” He said. “Every year you work, you work towards something, towards a goal, right? Which is to get a promotion, be able to take care of your family, to be able to provide the house for them or take care of your parents,” “You work towards a goal. It’s not a failure; it’s steps to success." Coincidentally, the Lakers are proving that sentiment correct in real time. With the finals beginning next month, time will tell how far this underdog team will go.
