Miranda Richardson

Spider - 2002

[goldshirtleia]

Hello yes it is that time of year again, I am listening to the 1970 OG recording of JCS on vinyl and have decided to finally make a list my rankings for every role and aspect of this show. For the record I am a pagan whose only real knowledge of the Jesus story is from this show so forgive my unhinged takes.

Characters:

Jesus:

Ian Gillan (OG album/broadway)

Ted Neeley (1973)

Ola Sålo (Swedish 2014)

Jack Hopewell (North American Tour 2022)

Morgan James (all female cast 2022)

Judas:

Carl Anderson (1973)

Brandon Victor Dixon (2018)

Murray Head (OG album)

Shoshana Bean (all female cast 2022)

Peter Johannson (Swedish 2014)

Honourable mention to Colm Wilkinson (it is a CRIME that there isn't a full recording of the Irish cast)

Mary Magdalene:

Yvonne Elliman (OG album/broadway/1973)

That's it, no one else even comes close

(Maybe an honourable mention for Gunilla Backman)

Pontius Pilate:

Barry Dennen (OG album/1973)

Filippo Strocchi (Vienna 2018)

Orfeh (all female cast 2022)

Caiaphas:

Bob Bingham (OG broadway/1973)

Norm Lewis (NBC 2018) I will ALWAYS stan Norm

Victor Brox (OG album)

Simon Zealotes:

TIE - Larry Marshall (1971)

TIE - Eric Grönwall (NBC 2018)

John Gustafson (OG album)

Tony Vincent (2000)

Herod:

Alice Cooper (NBC 2018)

Mike D'Abo (OG album)

Chris Moyles (Arena Tour 2012)

Overall - staging/set design/costumes:

1973 Movie

NBC 2018

North American Tour 2022

Arena Tour 2012

Honourable mention to the OG broadway production -- I haven't seen enough footage to accurately rank it but I LOVE Jesus's cape in Superstar.

Best overall rendition of Superstar (incl. staging, costumes, etc)

1973 Movie

NBC 2018

Arena Tour 2012

Swedish 2014

Best facial expressions:

Carl Anderson during Simon Zealotes

Carl Anderson right before he engages in respectability politics to slut shame Mary

Tim Minchin when the priests take his joint lmao

Best Superstar costume:

Carl Anderson's white maxi fringe jumpsuit (come ON)

Peter Johannson's shirtless #lewk (I have a whole thing about how Judas should not look like a demon but the sparkly red pants and the Legolas hair are too fantastic)

Brandon Victor Dixon in the full silver fit

Best WTF moments:

That bit in the 1973 film where they all form The Last Supper for a quick second and no one comments on it

When the 1973 crowd says "won't you die for me?" in Hosanna and it just FREEZES on Jesus's face

The Swedish cast pushing Jesus into Jerusalem in a shopping cart

The fighter pilots swooping at Judas after Blood Money in 1973. What WAS that. How did they get that.

That is all lol. Every time we watch even a clip of a new production my mother and I spend 2-3 hours discussing how it fits into our rankings, so this could change.

[goddessesofthesilverscreen]

One of our finest actresses, Miranda Richardson, in a dazzling triple role in the disquieting psychological character study Spider (2002, David Cronenberg; pictured with Gabriel Byrne and Bradley Hall). Some critical context:

“A triumph of both quality and quantity, Richardson gives a nightmarish triptych of performances as, alternately, the mother of Ralph Fiennes’s mentally hollowed protagonist, his father’s mistress and his present-day landlady, vividly embodying an entire, terrorising wall of femininity in his psyche. Favored for the Best Actress award at Cannes, she emerged from the festival with no prize, but a cloud of Oscar buzz that vanished into thin air. A shame; it’s her best screen work.” — Guy Lodge, Hitfix (August 2012)

“This slow but brilliantly sustained journey into madness is fronted by a remarkable performance from Ralph Fiennes and superb backup from Miranda Richardson in a triple role... Richardson shows her range, depicting Mrs. Cleg as a woman sadly hanging onto hope, still trying to pretend she has some kind of satisfying family life despite her errant husband’s surliness; her Yvonne is trashy, vulgar, graceless and totally without morals, in the latter scenes injecting that same brassy sexuality into Mrs. Wilkinson’s cold authoritarian manner.” — David Rooney, Variety (May 2002)

The Wilkinsons

I can't believe it's taken me all this time to become curious about what Nick's siblings could have looked like. That's usually the first thing I do when I create parents for an existing sim. I have to say, I've gotten really good at creating parents over the years. (you can see my method here <-shameless plug) In the past, I used to generate children from the newly created parents and the children looked nothing like my original sim lol. I can say with confidence, Nick and his fictitious siblings would have favored each other very well! Observe...

I love the first girl and I wish she were real! And I would love to see Yvonne with a daughter lol. Here are Nick and his parents for reference.

Fun exploration of Levi and Yvonne below!

I've never spent much time with the Wilkinsons, and I was curious about their in-game relationship. In the story they're interesting because on one hand it's like what did they see in each other, but at the same time you know they really love each other. So I had to check it out.

First up, the relationship bar!

I think this describes what I just said pretty well lol. I don't see them being BFFs like Nick and Melany, but they mean a lot to each other.

I saw they both had whims for each other, so I checked them out.

Okay pops! Nice to see the fire is still glowing lol. Speaking of, the final thing I checked was their attractiveness, and I am glad to say they both think the other is extremely attractive, which is the highest level of attraction for those of you who don't have Wicked Whims. Speaking of, the next thing I had to know was what they looked like back in the day. I aged them down and altered their look to suit the times. They look exactly the same lol. Young Yvonne IS kinda cute though! Levi is a silver fox, so of course he'd be a cutie.

Channel Nine Axes The NRL Footy Show After 23 Years On Air

Channel Nine have axed the NRL Footy Show after 23 years on air – the latest controversial move by the free-to-air network.

The network informed Australian TV’s longest serving host, Paul Vautin, the show would not see 2018 while he was on holiday overseas, the Daily Telegraph reported.

Nine are looking to revamp their rugby league lineup to reflect the dwindling ratings of the program, which has seen viewers decline from a weekly audience of nearly 400,000 in the mid 2000s to an average of barely 80,000 this year.

The new scheduling is set to revolve around rising star Erin Molan, who is set to receive her own one-hour program.

The cancellation comes in the wake of Lisa Wilkinson being let go from the Today show after hosting the popular morning show for 10 years.

The popular sports show, which launched the careers of Vautin, Beau Ryan and Matthew Johns, has won a record 11 Logie Awards for Best Sports Program.

It is making way for a new lineup of NRL shows led by Molan, directly opposing Fox Sports’ Sunday-Monday-Thursday schedule fronted by former-Nine employee Yvonne Sampson.

The Monday night program is expected to reflect the more analytical approaches of similar programs on their News Corp rivals like NRL 360.

Nine will be showing 23 Thursday night games from next season, which helped executives make the decision to cut the Footy Show.

The costs of producing a live sporting event as well as a two hour sports variety program on the same night was reportedly the driving force behind the decision.

Molan and Vautin’s contracts run out at the end of next year, with the latter expected to feature more prominently in the commentators box.

Ryan’s deal ends in 2018, and his involvement in the new lineup is yet to be confirmed.

The show has seen a steady decline in viewership over the past decade as the show lost popular co-hosts Peter Sterling and Matthew Johns.

Popular segments including Anti-Ads, the Daredevil Duds and Reg Reagan drove huge numbers for Nine and saw it win four-consecutive Logie Awards from 2004 to 2007.

Johns was sacked by the network in shame after a group-sex scandal that threatened his media career.

He began a short-lived sports show directly opposite the Footy Show on Channel Seven, before finding a permanent home on Fox Sports, where his Monday show will now face direct competition from his former employer.

Sterling also hosts his own show on the pay TV network, but still works for Nine as a commentator.

1994: Show begins after success of AFL version of the format. Paul Vautin and Peter Sterling were the first hosts

2001: Former Newcastle Knights captain Paul Harrogan joined the show as a co-host after winning a Survivor-style competition

2003: Popular guest Matthew Johns becomes the fourth member of the panel on the back of the success of his Reg Reagan skits

2005: Declining ratings and heavy media criticism saw Rebecca Wilson join the show as a co-host, despite opposition from Sterling and Vautin. Wilson lasted only one show

2007: Peter Sterling quits the show to concentrate solely on commentary

2009: Andrew Voss replaces Harrogan who departed the show. Johns was sacked as a result of his involvement in a group sex scandal

2010: Sterling returns after a three-year hiatus alongside former players Darryl Brohman and Wendell Sailor

2011: Voss was removed as co-host after he made comments about the likeness of a statue of Ray Warren unveiled in his hometown of Junee. Sailor and Sterling depart

2012: Former Australian cricketer and Channel Nine commentator Michael Slater joins Vautin as co-host

2015: Slater steps down from the show with Beau Ryan and Erin Molan becoming full-time hosts

2017: Show is cancelled after 23 years on the Nine Network

SEX, DEATH, CONSPIRACY

First posted 25 Feb. 2016

The real Deepcut cover up

Cheryl James father Des sat poker faced in court as he heard the three pillars of a story which has enthralled for nearly 14 years laid bare. Sex, death, conspiracy, day seven of her inquest had them all. Cheryl was the second of four young soldiers found shot dead in the grounds of the Princess Royal Barracks near the village of Deepcut, Surrey between 1995 and 2002. Sean Benton and Cheryl James in 1995, Geoff Gray in 2001 and James Collinson in 2002. Retired company director, Mr James from north Wales has been prepared for what he was going to hear at this inquest for a long time. The family have barely had a break from campaigning since their daughter was found dead 20 years ago. The original open verdict from the first inquest in 1995 was quashed in 2014 when planning started for the second inquest. Cheryl was a friendly, popular, attractive 18-year-old and rumours began to circulate soon after her body was found. Since then, the James family have heard everything and more of the evidence presented so far in the inquest. They have heard, in detail, about the sex life of their 18-year-old daughter. They have heard and seen the details of her death by single gunshot wound to the face. They have heard all the theories and conspiracies. Wednesday, February 24 was the first day all three were aired in court on the same day. A former soldier gave details of a conversation with Cheryl which took place while she was having sex with his friend the night before her death. Another former colleague told how Cheryl sent a chill through her when she remarked how easy it would be to shoot yourself in the head. The third witness of the day made allegations about a sex ring in the camp involving officers and NCOs in collusion with Surrey police. None of this was anything Des James had not heard before. He listened carefully to every intimate detail, every version of Cheryl's final hours. The sex, death and conspiracy theories which have obscured the evidence for 20 years. Yvonne Sneddon Yvonne Sneddon joined the army in 1995. She confirmed the statements she gave Surrey Police in 2002 were accurate despite being taken by a detective who was later removed from the investigation after inappropriate behaviour towards female witnesses. She described Cheryl as very bubbly, lively, a lovely girl who was always up for a laugh. "The life and soul of the party," she said. After completing driver training at Leconfield, Cheryl and Yvonne were taken back to Deepcut by coach. "We were drinking on the bus and having a joke and a laugh," she recalled. "At one point, Cheryl turned to me and mentioned completely out of the blue how easy it would be to shoot yourself." The conversation turned to Sean Benton who had been found with five bullet wounds to his chest only a few months before at Deepcut. The gate where he was found was by then known as Benton's Gate. Ms Sneddon said: "I recall asking her why and she said if you were going to kill yourself, that would be really easy. "I said God no, it wouldn't be easy. "I asked her why she was thinking that." In 2002, Ms Sneddon told police: "If you think about it, you know Benton, it would be dead easy, you would feel no pain." She just dismissed the conversation and went back to drinking, Ms Sneddon said. "I did ask her if she was OK. "We were just in high spirits. "As I recall, it was a complete lull in the conversation and then she came out with that statement. "It sent a chill through me," she said. Ms Sneddon admitted Benton's death was the subject of general conversation in the camp. Andrew Carter Cheryl James offered to have anal sex with another soldier the night before she was found shot dead. She was having sex with her new boyfriend when she made the offer to his best friend. The 18-year-old army recruit was in a male accommodation block at the Princess Royal Barracks near Deepcut when she asked Andrew Carter if he ever did anything on impulse. Mr Carter told the inquest he understood her to mean "Then and there." Cheryl was found shot dead in the grounds of the camp the next morning. Me Carter told the court in Woking he had been shocked by the offer and thought his friend, Paul Wilkinson, was offended. "She asked me if I had every done anything on impulse," he said. "She asked me if I had ever had anal sex with a girl. "Then she asked me if I would like to have anal sex with her," Mr Carter said. He joined the army in 1995 and met Cheryl at Deepcut two months before she was killed. "She was very lively, bubbly, quite a lovely girl," he said. He described living in an eight bed dormitory at the camp. The night before Cheryl was killed, Mr Carter said he was in the room when Cheryl James was having sex with his best friend at the time Paul Wilkinson. "We had been drinking, like most nights. "I wasn't really drunk and I was in the back left bed with Pte Sarah Ditchfield. "Cheryl and Paul were making love in bed. "I'd say well after midnight. "Cheryl asked me if I'd done anything off impulse. "I was quite surprised at her speaking to me. "She said she wanted to get a fake passport and travel to Thailand or Malaysia. "She asked if I had ever had anal sex with a girl. "She then asked me if I would like to have anal sex with her. "Paul was quite agitated and annoyed with the question," Mr Carter said. "I can't remember if he said any words, he mumbled something. "I read his body language, he was agitated." Asked by Nicholas Moss for the MoD what he understood by the question, Mr Carter said: "There and then." Soon after the conversation, Pte James said she wanted to go back to the female accommodation block. "She asked me to accompany her downstairs so she wouldn't be caught by any NCOs," Mr Carter said. "Paul Wilkinson was quite agitated. "There was definitely a step up in his reaction. "I made the offer to go downstairs alone and check. "Everybody was happy with that." Asked who Pte Wilkinson was angry with, he said: "I would say at Cheryl." He said he knew Cheryl James had just started seeing his friend Paul Wilkinson before she was found shot dead in November 1995. "The relationship was in the starting phase," he said. It was too early to tell if they were going to be serious, he said. He described Paul Wilkinson as a good lad and quite sensitive. Asked if his conversation with Cheryl started part way through her having sex with Paul Wilkinson, Mr Carter said: "Yes." In a statement to police in 2002, Mr Carter said: "I have no doubt that she meant what she said." Mr Carter said he was shocked by the suggestion he should join in with Cheryl and his friend. "I was shocked buy my shock was a positive shock and for Paul it was more of a negative." Following the conversation, Mr Carter said he saw Cheryl and Paul Wilkinson coming down the stairs together after he had been to check for NCOs. "I was coming back up the steps, they were coming down. "They seemed relatively happy together. "He wasn't angry, but put out. "I got back to the room and saw Cheryl walking back alone. "I looked out the window and she looked up. "I said to her You're going to get it. "She looked up, smiled and winked." Asked if he meant sex, Mr Carter said: "Yes." "I presume Paul was coming back up the steps. "He didn't see. "I can't recall speaking to him about it. "I can't remember much more about that night. "I laid down and slept on the middle bed. Mr Carter agreed it was possible there was another person in the room during the sexual conversation. "It is possible Gavin Trearty was in the room as well. "I have a vague recollection of somebody else being there." The next day Mr Carter and Mr Trearty went shopping for a mountain bike. When they returned to Deepcut, Mr Carter said they say two other young female soldiers. "We passed the guard room and Helen Miller and Sharon Price were coming down the main drag. "Both were emotional. "Sharon was repeating something over and over - James was dead." Later, Mr Carter saw Paul Wilkinson. "He was in bits. "He was shook up, crying. "He kept saying Why." Asked if Cheryl ever complained about anything in specific to do with army life, Mr Carter said no. Everybody complained about Deepcut, he said. The officers and NCOs were strict and petty, he said. "I don't think there were many members of Deepcut who weren't complaining at any one time. "At least half the camp were talking about getting out of the army." Asked about rumours of Cheryl being pestered for sex by a member of staff at Deepcut, Mr Carter said there were lots of rumours going round the camp following Cheryl's death. Asked about rumours in connection with the position of Cheryl's rifle, Mr Carter said: "Certain comments were passed on from the NCOs. "I believe, it came from people in the guard room itself. "Like I say, there was quite a lot of talk," he said. Mark Beards The only witness to claim there was an organised sex ring abusing young soldiers at Deepcut was branded a fantasist and a liar at the second inquest into the death of Cheryl James. Mark Beards said he met Cheryl James twice on the weekend before she died. The first time on Saturday, November 25 1995, he said Cheryl was weeding the front of an administration block on the camp. The second time was the next evening in the NAAFI bar and again later when he was sitting on a wall outside his own accommodation block. He agreed he may have had around eight pints of beer before leaving the bar. "I decided I was going back to my block because I had to be up early. "I was sat on the wall having a cigarette in front of the block. "Cheryl James comes walking from the female block, stops, has a cigarette, we start talking." Mr Beards said his memory was clearer now than in 2002 when he spoke to Surrey Police. He said Cheryl was on her way to see his room mate, Pte Ian Atkinson on the orders of Sergeant Andrew Gavaghan. "I asked her what she was doing there. "She said she had to meet Acky. "I asked her again, she explained she had to go into the room with him. "She says I've got to do it. "I said you've not got to do anything you don't want to do. "I tried to get her to go back to her block because she wasn't happy. "She wouldn't let me. "She kept saying I shouldn't get involved, you'll get hurt. "She said don't get involved. "I said to her, you don't want to be here. "She goes, I've got to do it Gav ordered me. "Sleep with Acky. "She said Gav had ordered her to go down to the room with Acky. "She said Gav had ordered her to go into the room with Acky." Asked if Cheryl had mentioned sex, Mr Beards said No. "I turned to Cheryl and said the only person who can decide what you are doing with the rest of your life is you. "And the next day she was dead," he said. Mr Beards left the army in 1996. He did not tell Surrey police about the second meeting with Cheryl when they interviewed him as part of their 2002 investigation. "It was my understanding that Sgt Gavaghan was a Surrey Poilice liaison officer." Mr Beards recalled an indecent with the sergeant after a night out in Frimley. "It was in the camp, it was after a night out that I'd had. "We were on parade and he came up and whispered in my ear. "He knew that I'd had sex with another recruit in the toilets. "He said he knew because there were cameras in the toilets and he was the Surrey Police liaison officer." Asked why he did not mention the meeting to police, Mr Beards said he feared for his life: "I had no way to know it wouldn't get back to him. "I believed Sgt Gavaghan was their liaison officer. I was afraid he would get me, he would kill me." Mr Beards told the hearing he had been unwell at the time and did not stand by statements he made to police in 2002. He said he remembered the events of November 1995 much more clearly now. The former soldier, who admitted suffering from psychological problems in the past, was discharged from the army after being referred to a psychiatrist. Mr Beards, who said he could not be sure on dates, times or names and admitted being paranoid, repeatedly offered to take a polygraph, lie detector, test. His Honour Judge Brian Barker asked Mr Beards to stop asking for a test and answer the questions he was being asked since the results are not admissible in English law. Mr Beards said he saw Cheryl James twice during the weekend before she was found shot dead. He said he saw the 18-year-old weeding in front of an administration block on Saturday morning. Mr Beards said: "I've had a lot of time to think about it and it is a lot clearer. "I think about it every day." Describing the first meeting with Cheryl he said: "It was no more than a couple of minutes. "I was going to the administration block. "I saw her picking weeds." He said a corporal he knew was giving Cheryl a hard time about the weeding. "I said leave her alone, she's doing a good job there and I smiled at Cheryl. "I said don't let bastards grind you down. "Come on, James, you don't want to end up back in jail,' corporal said." Nicholas Moss for the MoD said there was no record of Cheryl ever being in military detention. "No one can trust a word you say," Mr Moss said. "That's convenient for the MoD and Surrey Police," Mr Beards said. "That weekend she went to Camberly, she wasn't doing weeding," Mr Moss suggested. "It didn't happen did it?" Mr Beards said: "I cannot comment on what other witnesses have said." John Beggs QC, for Surrey police, took Mr Beards through his 2002 statement. He asked him to look at a tab marked with an F. "F, for fantasist, Mr Beards," Mr Beggs said. "You are someone that lies at the drop of a hat," he said. "I don't agree with that statement," Mr Beards said. Mr Beggs accused Mr Beards of being an attention seeker who had gone to the press when he knew it was a big investigation. "It would be fair to say you have been troubled with psychological issues," Mr Beggs said. "I have carried the guilt of Cheryl James death for 20 years. "It destroyed my marriage and my family," he said. "I suffered from PTSD and I wasn't getting assistance. "I have a broken neck. "I am unemployable." Mr Beggs said: "Well, that may well be true." Nicholas Moss for the Ministry of Defence accused Mr Beards of being prone to lies and gross exaggerations. "You find it hard to separate truth from fictions and delusions," he said. Mr Beards said: "No. Where is the evidence to sustain that?" Mr Moss described Mr Beards evidence as riddled with inconsistencies. He asked him if he was paranoid. "Paranoia, yes. "Delusion, no," Mr Beads said. "Any comment I make will be torn to pieces anyway. "If you want to test my integrity, put me on a polygraph. "Put Gavaghan on a polygraph, put Acky on a polygraph." Mr Moss asked him about a statement Mr Beards made about the commanding officer at Deepcut. "You said Cheryl said the commanding officer had been giving her a hard time." "She said she hated Gav, Radford and Acky," Mr Beards said. "She never said anything about the commanding officer." Mr Moss read from a police statement Mr Beards had given. "I think Acky was trying to have sex with her and Cheryl mentioned Lt Bradford and the CO about giving her a hard time." "I don't remember putting it in the statement," Mr Beards said. "You gave a signed statement to the police that Cheryl James said to you the CO had given her a hard time," Mr Moss said. "Nobody can trust a word you say." Mr Beards replied: "I was unwell at the time. "I was in a completely different place. "I wasn't being medicated at the time. "I've had 16 years to think about this. "I think about it every day and every night." Mr Moss asked him about the Sunday night meeting. "Ms James was in the company of one or both of her two boyfriends, Pte Ditchfield and Andrew Carter. "She just wasn't able to speak to you for ten or twenty minutes on the wall, was she?" "She was," Mr Beards said. "You can always polygraph me." Mr Moss asked: "Are you really trying to help this inquest?" "Every time you are asked for an account, you can't get your made up story straight." "It's not a made up story," Mr Beards said. In a statement taken before the second inquest, Mr Beards described the Monday morning before Cheryl was found shot dead. "Acky wanted to borrow a jumper off me. "I said Fuck off, there was no need for you to do what you did to that girl last night. "You fucking raped her, got Gav to order her." Mr Moss said there were inconsistencies riddled throughout the account. Mr Beards repeated the reason he left out the second meeting with Cheryl when he spoke to police was he feared for his life. Francesca Whitelaw, who represents Paul Wilkinson, said: "Did you deliberately set out to lie and mislead the police?" "I was paranoid," he said. "I thought I would've got a bullet. "I wanted to get things out without being dead. "I thought I would've been killed." Ms Whitelaw described Mr Beards evidence as extreme paranoia and the stuff of utter fantasy. "That's what you say," Mr Beards said.
