I SEE YOU (2019) Grade: C-

Everyone keeps talking about the twist, but once they show the main one early on, the rest are out of left field, make no sense, and make so many of character look like idiots.

Nothing Melodious by Dear Reader from the album Day Fever

Cabin Fever (2002)

In today's review I try not to let airborne illness get in the way of a trip to the woods. As I attempt a #positive of the 2002 film debut: Cabin Fever #RiderStrong #JordanLadd #JamesDeBello #CerinaVincent #JoeyKern #ArieVerveen #GiuseppeAndrews #EliRoth

Nothing exists in a vacuum, and art is no exception. We are influenced by events, and other artists, tragedies, life experiences, you name it, can all be channelled into your next big work. In 2002, drawing upon his own experiences, Eli Roth made his directorial debut, a strange horror film that certainly gets underneath your skin, known as Cabin Fever. While you might be able to outwit Freddy…

REVIEW: Tracii Guns New Band BLACKBIRD ANGELS "Solsorte"

There’s been many collaborations over past 10-15 years like THE DEAD DAISIES, THE WINERY DOGS, BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION, REVOLUTION SAINTS and others that are labeled sometimes as “supergroups” of Classic Rock era rockers getting together.  There’s been some great work done too as the restraints of the major labels are torn off and they can be who they are. The latest of these groups is BLACKBIRD…

The art director & the Good Omens book cover tier list of doom, part 1

This is going to have to be a multi-part series because there are *checks notes* 64 different covers that I've found so far.

I am your resident Art Director/Good Omens enthusiast, and welcome to my completely meta-free book cover tier list. Listen, making a book cover is HARD. I should know. But while we salute these artists for their hard work and time, I think we can all admit that once in a while, the vision is just not on. And on very rare occasions, publishers seemed to have managed to commission the cover art directly from hell... 1. The original UK cover

Ahh, the standard by which all shall be judged. We're starting off with a nice & easy cover, with adorable woodcuts of Aziraphale and Crowley flanking a custom Good Omens font! While I have to take a few points off for the terrible kerning of the word "GoOD", the blockprint vibes and general bitchiness of Aziraphale's teeny weeny wittle face, along with the sick colour palette puts the orignial in my good graces. Tier: Great

2. The duelling US covers

Progress! Hail to the designer who figured out trying to make "GoOD" and "OMeNs" fit the same width was a fool's errand, and even managed to IMPROVE on the original handmade title by adding a little halo and devil's tale to the design. Aziraphale and Crowley are facing each other, while also managing to serve absolute cunt. Aziraphale is wearing EIGHTIES SNEAKERS. Crowley's little snake boots have HEELS. They've managed to keep the woodcut vibes and colour simplicity, while balancing out the full title of the book. Both authors get to trade off on who's name comes first! Dare I say, this is a work of genius. I could dock some points for Crowley's sad bat wings growing out of his right clavicle, but who am I to question greatness.

Tier: Blessed by God Herself

3. The Halo Master Chief(?) cover

How the mighty have fallen... As a Canadian child, I was subjected to maybe the most horrifying ad in existence by the War Amps warning children about machine safety. This cover is the paper embodiment of that ad. I am confused by the purple haze. I am frightened by the seeming ethereal flatness of Adam and Dog. I am strangely aroused by Aziraphale's eyebrows, and intensely saddened by the terrible outline/drop shadow they had to inflict on the type to fit "Pratchett" in that god awful space. Tier: WTF

4. Germany, Ein Gutes Omen covers

This cover inexplicably exists in two colour ways: red and teal. I put the audiobook cover here so you could experience the full illustration, and also how fucked up it is that they cropped the book version to include three horse-people of the apocalypse, but cut off DEATH on the regular cover. Points must be given for drawing a pretty slick Bentley, but I think we have to take even more points away for turning Crowley into a Ray Charles/Mike Wazowski hybrid. The ducks are nice. Tier: Not so Good (Omens)

5. Germany, Ein Gutes Omen covers continued

I don't know if the German designer of this cover *knew* that they were using western yeehaw cowboy woodblock letters when they made this cover, but judging by how they spaced the rest of the text at the bottom, THEY DID NOT CARE. And that seems to be a running theme for this one. We get kind of a duality thing going on with the black and pink background, but it just seems like somebody whispered the general themes of Good Omens into a jar, and threw it down a well, and this poor chap came along and picked it up. The baffling choice to align every piece of text on the cover *except* Neil Gaiman's name which is right aligned and rotated 90 degrees (not even real vertical type) will haunt my dreams, I think.

Tier: Bad

6. US, UK The Traffic Jam cover

For the love of Good Omens, WHY. I can think of so many more interesting symbols to put on the cover of this book than the ODEGRA SIGIL TRAFFIC JAM. Props for keeping the good colours and type, but like, I think this cover was secretly designed by @amtrak-official, or someone who just really, really likes public works. Tier: Does the Job

7. France, De bons présages cover

Leave it to France to make sure people know that Aziraphale and Crowley fuck severely. While I can't condone leaving out half the title of the book (and thinking a red carpenter's square counts as decoration), I can begrudgingly acknowledge that Ron Pearlman and Benedict Cumberbatch's love child is excellent Crowley casting. I think I give this a solid dark academia/10. Tier: Good (Omens)

8. France, De bons présages covers continued

Just imagine with me, if you will, the absolutely hilarious reality that this cover posits: Good Omens is exactly the same in every respect, but Crowley drives a pink 1950s convertible. Why do all of the colours on this cover look like they've been pre-digested? Why are the font choices and placement so bafflingly bad. My face is the demon's face holding that car. I feel his pain.

Tier: WTF

9. France, De bons présages covers continued

Minus points for not managing to write the full title of the book once again. I don't know what it is with the French. They seem pretty set on Good Omens being demonic. While I do appreciate a good Bosch-style demon party, the dude in the middle confounds me. All-caps Museo Sans that isn't even *centred* in the frame is just so lazy. I am le tired. Tier: Bad

10. France, De bons présages covers continued

Uhh. The font. The font is okay.... I think? Yeah. The font and kerning are. Okay. OHHH GOD I LOOKED DOWN BELOW THE TEXT WHYYYY. Tier: WTF

END of round one. I need a nap.

Für Charakter ask game. Hoffe es ist ok, wenn ich mehr als ein Charakter nehme. Mich würden die Antwort zu den Fragen, zu beiden Charaktere intressieren 😅. Also Charakter : Leo und Adam. Fragen: 1, 5, 23, 24, 25

Also...bis ich begriffen habe, welches Ask-Game du meintest, sind ein paar Minuten vergangen (ich war erst auf dem falschen Weg und dachte, du meintest das mit dem Fragen stellen über die Autorin(den Autor) . 😂 Die Ziffern haben aber zum Glück eine größere Blamage abgewendet, so here we go (selbstverständlich gerne mit den Beiden!):

Für alle, deren Gedächtnis eine Auffrischung braucht, hier ist das Ask Game:

So. Aber nun zu deiner spannenden Auswahl.

1. Why do you like or dislike this character?

Zu Adam: Ich mag den Charakter, weil er so eckig und kantig ist und weil er trotz aller groben Bissigkeit ein Mensch ist, der tiefere Schichten hat, zu denen man vordringen kann. Zudem kann ich dem Familiendrama einiges abgewinnen und ergehe da gänzlich in meiner h&c-Liebe.

Zu Leo: Ich mag den Charakter, weil er zum Einen so sanft und menschenfreundlich ist, zum Anderen aber auch eine gequälte Seele ist, die viel zu viel Trauma hat erleiden müssen, was nun hochkommt. Ich mag seine unerschütterliche Freundschaft (Liebe?) für Adam und ich mag, dass er aber auch in der Lage dazu ist., Grenzen zu setzen.

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

(In solchen Fragen bin ich richtig schlecht. Ich habe Geschichten-geprägte Lieder, bei persönlichen Liedern muss ich echt überlegen.)

Zu Adam: Jericho - Iniko

Zu Leo: Shout - Tears for Fears

23. Favorite picture of this character?

Zu Adam:

Zu Leo:

24. What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?

Zu Adam: Schuldig aus Weiß Kreuz, Jean Moreau aus The Sunshine Court

Zu Leo: Ran Fujimiya aus Weiß Kreuz, Jeremy Knox aus The Sunshine Court

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

Zu Adam: Damals: "Okaay...was ist das denn für einer? Oh. Eine schlimme Vergangenheit." Heute: "Alles klar, Adam, dein weicher Kern ist schon sehr präsent, weiß ich doch. Mensch. Nun geh zu Leo, werde glücklich mit ihm."

Zu Leo: Damals: "So ein sanfter Mann." Heute: "Sehr gut, Leo, sprich offen mit Adam über das, was dich bedrückt. Und nun geh zu Adam, werde glücklich mit ihm."

Tatsächlich habe ich sehr lange gebraucht, um mit Adam warm zu werden. Aber mittlerweile ist er ein bisschen mein Herzenscharakter geworden.

"Von Sportmatten", wenn ich bitten darf 💕

Das gehört zu meinem Knallender-Beitrag, "mit dem Lehrer..."

Ich lasse jetzt nur mal ein Snippet hier stehen, schön brav und jugendfrei für tumblr ;)

Am Ende beendet Leo die Sportstunde zehn Minuten früher, weil er es nicht länger aushält. Er schickt seine Schüler*innen in die Umkleidekabinen und wartet, bis auch die letzten von ihnen verschwunden sind. Erst dann erlaubt sich, sich auf die dicke blaue Matte zu setzen und ganz kurz das Gesicht in den Händen zu vergraben.

Am liebsten würde er einmal kurz schreien. Helfen würde es nicht, aber vielleicht würde sich der ganze Frust dann nicht mehr nur in seinem Innern aufstauen. 

Er kann sich nicht von Adam fernhalten. Sowieso nicht, weil er sein Lehrer ist, und auch nicht, weil Esther vielleicht Recht hat und Adam Hilfe braucht. Hilfe, die garantiert nicht darin besteht, dass Leo sich von Adam anfassen lässt.

Er lässt sich nach hinten fallen und starrt für einen Moment die Hallendecke an. Wenn er so hier liegt, kommt sie ihm unendlich weit entfernt vor. Genauso wie die Lösung für seine Probleme, obwohl diese eigentlich ganz einfach sein sollte.

Er hat einen Fehler gemacht. Mehrere, wenn man es genau nimmt. Die er vielleicht nicht wiedergutmachen kann, aber er kann zumindest versuchen, keine neuen zu begehen.

Auf einmal ist da das Geräusch von quietschenden Sportschuhen auf dem Boden. 

Eigentlich hätte dieses Geräusch schon vor einer Weile verklungen sein müssen. Leo unterdrückt ein Seufzen, schließt für einen kurzen Moment die Augen und bereitet sich dann darauf vor, sich aufzusetzen und wieder die Rolle des verantwortungsbewussten Erwachsenen anzunehmen, der hier definitiv nicht gerade die Decke angestarrt hat, weil er einfach nicht mehr weiter weiß.

„Gibt's ein Problem?“

Er braucht gar keine Antwort auf seine Frage. Er weiß schon, dass es ein Problem gibt, weil er nicht dazu kommt sich aufzusetzen. Da ist eine Hand auf seiner Brust, die ihn zurück auf den Rücken drückt. Knie, die neben seinen Hüften in die weiche, blaue Matte einsinken. „Nein“, erwidert Adam.

Als ob da nicht der Kern des Problems liegen würde.

naviarhaiku525 – vernal seas

vernal seas… all day long swelling, falling swelling, falling

One of the four great haiku masters, Yosa Buson studied both Japanese and Chinese poetry. He was also an accomplished painter, and most of his poems were accompanied by paintings, resulting in a more diverse and individual set of works than the one by his main historical influence, Basho.

This haiku was translated by Adam L. Kern.
