Haterating and hollerating in the 1950s:

SUDDEN FEAR (1952): Inventive but unsatisfying thriller about a middle-aged playwright and heiress (Joan Crawford) who discovers that her new husband (Jack Palance) and his ex-girlfriend (Gloria Grahame) are plotting to do away with her, and decides to concoct her own elaborate trap for the would-be killers, which doesn't go as planned. Palance is well-cast, walking an interesting line between charm and sociopathy, and the film gives Crawford one of her better '50s roles, but the script fails to pay off its own clever plot twists while allowing Crawford too many opportunities for her customary histrionics — particularly in a pair of over-the-top dream/fantasy sequences and in a crucial scene where the heroine has to express, without dialogue, that she's having second thoughts about her own plan. The finale, while undeniably tense and featuring striking nighttime cinematography by Charles B. Lang Jr., also feels like it belongs in a completely different movie.

THE GIRL NEXT DOOR (1953): Bright, attractively staged Fox musical (with two animated interludes) about the burgeoning romance between a successful stage star (June Haver) and her handsome new next-door neighbor (Dan Dailey), a comic strip artist and widower with a young son (Billy Gray) who's none too happy at this new competition for his father's attention. Haver and Dailey are great, and their easy repartee is very appealing. It's also interesting to see Dennis Day outside of his more familiar role as Jack Benny's idiot stooge. However, Billy Gray's character never quite rings true; there's no real reason for Joey to dislike the charming, good-humored Jeannie other than childish jealousy, so the story depends on his eventually getting over it rather than on Jeannie winning him over, which might have been more fun.

A SUMMER PLACE (1959): Overwrought Delmer Daves adaptation of a Sloan Wilson novel about two one-time lovers (Richard Egan and Dorothy McGuire), now unhappily married to others (Constance Ford and Arthur Kennedy), who decide to divorce their respective spouses so they can finally get married, only to face endless angst because their college-age kids (Sandra Dee and Troy Donahue) are also in love, in A Society That Just Doesn't Understand™. The story might have been considered daringly blunt by the standards of 1958–59, but to modern eyes, it succeeds mostly in putting the "turgid" in "dramaturgy." The script and direction are so unrelentingly heavy-handed that the actors seem like they're mining coal, with only Constance Ford (whose character is an unmitigated bitch) allowed to be anything other than laboriously tormented.

Kaala from The Wolf Chronicles trilogy and Aleu from Balto II: Wolf Quest. I drew them together because they have a few similarities (both being wolfdog protagonists of their own story, as well as being quite stubborn and strong-willed, both being a part of a prophecy or foretelling of some kind and both ending up leading their own packs).

Both of these characters are very dear to me for various reasons, especially Kaala as she is actually my favorite protagonist from any media I have ever consumed. Also, unlike Aleu, who got a pretty happy ending (a bittersweet one, but ultimately she is happy as she finds her place as the new pack leader), Kaala's ending is um, without going into spoilers, not a happy one. I also tend to draw her looking really tired because while she's less than a year old throughout most of the trilogy she goes through SO much shit in that short amount of time she might as well have lived three lifetimes in that single year. Poor girl, give her some rest.

She is looking over at the one on the right, a light tan-and-cream wolfdog with blue eyes, who is smiling with her mouth half open. The background is blue. End ID.]

Alina Gray Agender real

When Aunt Em came there to live she was a young, pretty wife. The sun and wind had changed her, too. They had taken the sparkle from her eyes and left them a sober gray; they had taken the red from her cheeks and lips, and they were gray also. She was thin and gaunt, and never smiled now. When Dorothy, who was an orphan, first came to her, Aunt Em had been so startled by the child's laughter that she would scream and press her hand upon her heart whenever Dorothy's merry voice reached her ears; and she still looked at the little girl with wonder that she could find anything to laugh at.

Uncle Henry never laughed. He worked hard from morning till night and did not know what joy was. He was gray also, from his long beard to his rough boots, and he looked stern and solemn, and rarely spoke.

It was Toto that made Dorothy laugh, and saved her from growing as gray as her other surroundings. Toto was not gray; he was a little black dog, with long silky hair and small black eyes that twinkled merrily on either side of his funny, wee nose. Toto played all day long, and Dorothy played with him, and loved him dearly. —L. Frank Baum/The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

About Bling Empire Season 2 [SPOILERS]

Anna is still my favourite but her and Christine's petty squabble is boring. I actually wanted them to confront Kane at the end of the season but there was 3 mins left and a cliffhanger?!

Since Season 1, I had a feeling I was right about Jessy/Jesse/Jessey having another family. The man has four kids and doesn't want to get married again cause he cheated looooool And even if it's Cherie and Jessy/Jesse/Jessey's business, do you lot remember you're on TV and that was going to get out one way or another?

Kane is so wrong in this season for a lot of things. Ruined Kevin's attempts with Kim just to make drama, making Cherie's business be about him because he felt betrayed and lying to Christine's face saying Kim made him go to Anna's when that's not true

Kelly is redeemed this season only cause Andrew the power ranger wasn't there, but for that cliffhanger why is he coming to Anna's house for??

Jaime is adorable but boring. They did her dirty with the editing of her date because I bet she didn't talk that much and also why was she and Dorothy okay with Jaime (23 year old) going on a date with a 35 year old guy?? 🤢

Also is Jaime the cause of Christine and Anna butting heads over Anna going to "end Christine?" Or did I miss something

Love Dorothy Wang and Mimi but there's no story for them, they're just rich. The 22 year gap between Mimi and her husband is wild too

Kim having dated Keith Ape, a cultural appropriator and rapper tells me everything I need to know. And fell in love with him?! The bar is in hell 🙃

I have no words for Kevin, he thinks he wants Kim but I don't believe it. He looks at her like I look at Coco Ichibanya - aka delicious food

That cliffhanger was rude, there's a LOT that they need to wrap up - Cherie and her husband, Kane Vs Christine and Anna and Andrew walking into Anna's house. I need season 3 by the end of 2022😭

"When Dorothy stood in the doorway and looked around, she could see nothing but the great gray prairie on every side. Not a tree nor a house broke the broad sweep of flat country that reached to the edge of the sky in all directions. The sun had baked the plowed land into a gray mass, with little cracks running through it. Even the grass was not green, for the sun had burned the tops of the long blades until they were the same gray color to be seen everywhere. Once the house had been painted, but the sun blistered the paint and the rains washed it away, and now the house was as dull and gray as everything else."

- The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900) by L. Frank Baum
