#Helen Haynes

[theamaliad]

I wrote the Trojan War! And now I'm reading it to you in a serialized podcast over on patreon!!! Come listen for as little as a dollar a month! The first three episodes are now live!!!

If you've read BY HELEN'S HAND, you might remember both Paris (prince of Troy) and Polypoetes (the son of Pirithous)--well, Polypoetes and Paris both had some more to say, and retelling the Trojan War through the perspective of Polypoetes, particularly, gave me something fresh and different to chew through, and a story that you really and truly haven't heard before.

A BROKEN HORSE will be 23 episodes, and Patreon Patrons be able to listen to them FIRST!

Movies I watched in March 2024

Under the Cherry Moon (1986)** I'm Not There (2007)*** Jingle All the Way (1996)* Three Graves to Cairo (1943)** Hitchcock (2012) ** Silent Partner (1978)** Possession (2002)** Oppenheimer (2023)** Oscar Wilde (1960)** Turning Point: The Cold War and the Bomb (2024)** Anselm (2023)*** 24 Hour Party People (2002)** Two of Us (1999)*** Remains of the Day (1993)*** Doubt (2008)*** Dune (1984)*** Dune Part II (2024)***

Under the Cherry Moon (1986)** Absolute bobbins of a script is still beautiful to look at, very gay and of course mainly a vehicle for Prince's music. Under the Cherry Moon was the follow up to Purple Rain. It was a box office flop, a critical failure that earned Razzie nominations, but is a worth another look. Prince and Jerome Beton are sex workers with a rich female clientele on the French Riviera, the kind of career that only exists in movies. Kristin Scott Thomas makes her film debut as the debutante who comes between the friends and threatens to part them. Prince's death scene, harkens back to Camille with Prince playing Garbo. Like Garbo, Prince was happy to exploit his own androgyny and like Garbo, he was doomed to only explore that in a way that could be squeezed into heteronormative films.

I'm not There: (2007)*** A fascinating look at Bob Dylan, dividing him into six personae played by six different actors. Haynes uses different film styles, the Cate Blanchett mid Sixties Dylan of Bringing it All Back Home and Blonde on Blonde is matched in style with the black and white cinematography of D.A. Pennebaker's Don't Look Back. It also has elements of the Italian Surrealists like Felinni or Antonioni with a scoch of A Hard Day's Night. The soundtrack is particularly good, avoiding for the most part, the licensing pitfalls that plagued Haynes' Bowie biopic, Velvet Goldmine. Some of the most effective moments of I'm Not There, pair landscape shots with Dylan's music. Given the catalogue and the array of talent, Haynes has gathered, one perhaps expects a bit more , but then that has always been Dylan's nature, he's mysterious and aloof, leaving us wanting more.

Jingle All the Way (1996)* We watched this Christmas movie in March because we recently learned that part of it was filmed at my son's elementary school. It had Jake Lloyd somehow being more annoying than he was in the Phantom Menace as a bonus. Phil Hartman got dragged into this unfunny mess as well.

Three Graves to Cairo (1943)** Tense war time drama about a British officer who gets trapped behind the lines and ends up hiding out in a hotel working as a waiter for Field Marshall Rommel. Billy Wilder ratchets up the tension, his script giving all the best lines to Rommel, played by Erich Von Stroheim who really owns the film though Anne Baxter and Franchot Tone nominally "star."

Hitchcock (2012)** Hichcock's struggle to make Pyscho dramatized with fantasies where he hangs out with Ed Gein, while Alma Hitchcock gets involved in a Hitchcockian romance with a hack writer. Scarlett Johannson plays an almost deliberately obtuse Janet Leigh and James Darcy captures pre-Psycho Tony Perkins. It's a bit silly but I'll never turn down Helen Mirren and Anthony Hopkins in anything. This has a slight, arch feel to it, like many of Hitchcock's pictures, but lurking underneath are the ordinary hates and passions of a man who fears being left behind, at the height of his career. For his long-suffering wife's part, she too feels she's being replaced by the young actresses that Hitchcock is obsessed with at the moment. The conclusion is sweet enough for the Hayes office: husband and wife rediscover the magic of their working relationship, which was always the rock upon which their relationship was built.

The Silent Partner (1978)** With Elliott Gould, Christopher Plummer and Susannah York in the cast, this should have been better. Decent heist plot that devolves into slasher film . Christopher Plummer takes on the dubious mantels of playing a villain in a piss-poor American action film and a cross-dressing murderer.

Possession (2002)** A rather thin adaptation of a great novel, A.S. Byatt's story of two modern academics who disover a previous hidden romance between two Victorian poets. The film lacks the poetry of the novel, which I think is necessary for the story to have its full impact, but the film is full of plenty of jabs at academia as well as burning passions. Gweneth Paltrow and Aaron Ecklund play the young couple, while Jeremy Northam and Jennifer Ehle play the poet/lovers. Tom Hollander has a small but memorable part as does Toby Stephens.

Oppenheimer (2023)** My least favorite half of Barbenheimer still damn good and the physics nerd in me reveled in seeing my dead physicist boyfriends on screen. There are better films about Oppenheimer's life (BBC did a mini series starring Sam Waterston and it's on youtube) but something about the dreamy quality of Nolan's film captures that quantum mystery kinda vibe and put it in a blockbuster package. Cool.

Oscar Wilde (1960)** Preceded the landmark film Crisis by one year, without the world shaking honesty that film managed, around the topic of homosexuality and the law. Both films hinged on blackmail of a gay man but Oscar Wilde is careful to skirt around explicit mentions of sexuality, using tricks like showing the dictionary definition of "sodomy" briefly on camera. More was needed and more was achieved a year later. Ralph Richardson contributes to the courtroom scenes admirably and Morley is a terrific Wilde, who would rather make point for style than save himself from prison.

Turning Point: The Cold War and the Bomb (2024)** Fascinating background to our current situation, most of which is terrifying and now I'm worrying about the bomb again. I took off a star for the sheer number neo-con/Reaganite talking heads in this...

Anselm (2023)*** Wim Wenders stirring mostly visual documentary about Anselm Kiefer, a German artist who has explored his childhood memories of post war Germany in a frank and intimidatingly in your face way, on a massive scale combining sculpture, painting and physical spaces, many of which he has engineered himself. As a middle aged person who feels estranged and terrified to look more deeply into her own childhood, Anselm was something to sit with for two hours.

24 Hour Party People (2002)** Steve Coogan plays Tony Wilson, the Manchester TV personality and club owner who helped launch the careers of Joy Division, New Order and The Happy Mondays. Coogan has a tendency to make all his characters Alan Partridge and this is no exception, but it kind of works? It did more to get me to listen to Joy Division that numerous goth roommates ever could...

Two of Us (1999)*** I can't stop watching this made for VH-1 fanfiction of a movie starring Jared Harris and Aidan Quinn as John Lennon and Paul McCartney, dramatizing a probably apocryphal tale that John and Paul met up in NYC in the 70s when Paul was playing Madison Square Garden. Pure fluff and nonsense. I need it like air.

Remains of the Day (1993)*** Revisiting this old favorite and finding that it's kind of pacey and funny for a Merchant Ivory pic. The movie that made me love Tony Hopkins as an actor, his Stevens is really such a fascinating, ostensibly tragic character and yet there is a weird kind of triumph to living one's life so completely to a schedule and a code, and yet never being to eliminate desire and feeling.

Doubt (2008)*** This is the second Philip Seymour Hoffman movie I've watched in the last few months that has left me utterly haunted. Like The Master, Hoffman creates a villain who charms the audience at the same time you know that he's probably done unforgivable things and is only at the start of a long career of doing unforgivable things. Meryl Streep gives a heavy handed performance (Streep never met a colloquial accent that she didn't wear like a Groucho Marx nose) that certainly gets the point across that unpleasant people usually aren't the bad guys you want them to be. Amy Adams plays a naive young nun who, like the audience, is left wondering what to believe.

Dune (1984)*** Unapologetic Lynch Dune lover here. I love the cheesy acting, the wild tonal shifts, and the attempts to put this sprawling multibook epic in the Star Wars shaped box that the studio wanted him to use. My favorite scene has become Lynch's cameo, he seems so happy just pretending to be a spice miner, in his little spice mining suit in his little unconvincing space ship. I love him and this whole stupid mess. Sorry Frank Herbert.

Dune Part II (2024)*** My prediction is that Villeneuve's probable trilogy will--like so many franchises--peak in the second film. The first part was a slow-moving visual feast, that only hinted at the potential of this cast. Things actually start moving in the plot and Chalamet's Paul does his best to cope. Unlike MacLachlan's avuncular Atreides, who takes being a Messiah as just being another Tuesday of being the Universe's Most Gifted Child, he actually seems conflicted. Zendaya continues to utterly dominate every time she's on screen. Can Channi be the focus of the movie? Please?

"And so we are left - as Ptolemy's curious list suggests - with an array of Helens, none of whom seem quite real, and all of whom seem to represent the desire of their creators. Look at the certainty with which Achilles is drawn - his speed, his anger, his love for Patroclus, his commitment to honour and immortality through fame: he is defined by what he wants, and strives for, and loses. And then we think of Helen, and how much harder she is to pin down: her confused parentage, her contested childhood, her multiple marriages. One of our earliest narrative traditions states the most notorious facts about her - that she elopes with Paris - is actually a lie: the real Helen is elsewhere, while a war is fought over an unreal creature, an image. In fact, the more we try to understand her, the more she eludes us: Helen of Troy, Helen of Sparta, Helen of joy, Helen of slaughter." - Natalie Haynes, Pandora's Jar: Women in the Greek Myths

It’s pretty funny how “slow readers” are always ~defending themselves~ against fast readers who don’t give a damn, but the slow readers find any opportunity to insult fast readers. Fast readers are focusing on their own reading, and slow readers have an imagined beef with them because something makes them feel inferior when it’s just… a preference??

I’ve read 32-36 books this year (the range is because I haven’t counted some books for various reasons) and and DNF’d like 40 books lol. In 2023 I read 119 books, in 2022 I read 135, and in 2021 I tracked from May and read 85 books.

So I’ve read 371 books in 3 years. Want me to tell you the books that transformed me? SURE! Because reading fast doesn’t mean I don’t get anything out of it!

The ladies of The Marlow Murder Club will be back to solve more grisly cases as Robert Thorogood’s (Death in Paradise) cozy crime drama has been renewed for a second season by PBS Masterpiece.

As reported by Variety, Samantha Bond, Jo Martin, and Cara Horgan are all set to return as amateur sleuthing trio Judith, Suzie, and Becks for Season 2 of the British drama series. Natalie Dew will also reprise her role as police inspector Tanika Malik.

Season 2 will see the group reunite to solve another spate of unsettling crimes. The series is scheduled to film this summer and will be directed by Steve Barron.

The show comes from Thorogood and is an adaptation of his Marlow Murder Club novels. It follows retired archaeologist Judith, dog-walker Suzie, and vicar’s wife Becks as they team up to solve mysterious murders in their sleepy, idyllic town of Marlow.

Season 2 will see Thorogood adapt his second novel in the series, Death Comes to Marlow, for a two-episode murder mystery. Meanwhile, Lucia Haynes (Vera) and Julia Gilbert (Midsomer Murders) will each pen brand-new stories for the season.

“From a seemingly impossible murder inside the locked study of a sweeping mansion, to the mysterious case of a man murdered in the middle of a sleepy cul-de-sac with no connection to the town, and an unexpectedly brutal accident at the prestigious Marlow sailing club that quickly reveals itself to be something more sinister, there’s no rest for our sleuthing trio,” reads the official logline.

The Marlow Murder Club is produced by Monumental Television in association with ITV Studios.

“Monumental Television and Robert Thorogood’s female-led mystery thriller ‘The Marlow Murder Club’ proved to be such a smash hit with viewers that we just had to bring it back for a second season,” said UKTV head of drama Helen Perry. “We’re delighted to be re-joining Judith Potts and the gang for more fun and puzzle-solving drama, and we know our viewers will love it too.”

Debra Hayward, Monumental co-founder, added, “We loved collaborating with Robert on ‘The Marlow Murder Club,’ and we couldn’t have asked for a better cast to bring to life his unlikely amateur detectives. We are thrilled that the first series went down so well with audiences, and we can’t wait to return to the charming town of Marlow for series two.”

One of the review blurbs for Natalie Haynes's novel "A Thousand Ships" asserts that it "more than acknowledges the suffering of women." And, yeah. After reading this, I gotta agree: Women Do Be Suffering.

I read the majority of this while flying, which may have been the best environment for it. The narrative jumps between an ensemble cast of characters, which kept things fresh and engaging while never letting up on the bleakness of war. I didn't find any of the content particularly depressing or triggering, though.

Compared to the other Greek myth retelling I read this year, this one is a clear winner. I can't argue that it's doing anything really new but it does the classics faithfully.

Various thoughts:

Calliope was the most fascinating point of view, but I think it would have been smarter to break the 4th wall and have Calliope sing to Haynes and not an unnamed poet; I get what her POV is meant to explore, but it's been done before; I would have preferred something new

The Penelope sections were a waste. I do not need Penelope to recount the entirety of the Odyssey to me. I want to know what she's been doing. The quick aside that she was tempted by one of the kinder suitors would have been fascinating to explore if it was more than 2 paragraphs long. I do not need to hear her play by play on Odysseus's misadventures.

Cassandra, Hecabe, Andromache, and Clytemnestra had the most fascinating perspectives

Also Oenone's chapter was my favorite out of all of them.

What little Odysseus appeared in the story was great, which reaffirms to me how much he's my favorite literary character

I take issue with how the book markets itself as the Never Before Heard stories of the women in the Trojan war when there is such an extensive history of plays and poems written about them; for a while, I thought that the book itself believed in its own hype but reading Haynes's note at the end made me realize that I was being an idiot misinterpreting things and Haynes actually knows what she's doing more than I do

That being said, not writing Helen's point of view is a mistake; I get WHY Haynes declined to give her a perspective, but I was enthralled by her character whenever she did appear; I also would have liked to see Haynes's perspective on the idea that Helen ran away with Paris because Aphrodite made her insane (a la the Odyssey)

Overall, 4/5. Glad I read it!

[burner-of-ships]

have i shown off my bookshelves here yet? i don’t think i have. i should.

i’ve got my Homer and Virgil (i can’t wait for Emily Wilson’s Iliad to add to the collection)

then my other translations and semi-academic books like biographies or analyses.

then my retellings. i have so many, not because i love retellings, but because i actually take issue with so many of them but love to compare them to the originals and to each other. they’re in my best approximation of chronological order. if you want to know the ones i do like: Medusa by Jessie Burton, Helen Of Troy by Margaret George, Lavinia by Ursula Le Guin and anything by Natalie Haynes and Stephen Fry.)

ancient historical fiction and loose retellings (The Wolf Den books are set in ancient Pompeii, Lies We Sing To The Sea follows on from The Odyssey, The Just City is about Plato’s Republic and features Apollo, Athena and various historical figures as characters, Watership Down is The Aeneid if Cassandra was there and they were rabbits, Home Fire is Antigone in modern day England, and Girl Meets Boy is Iphis and Ianthe in modern day Scotland)

then my altars (to Psyche, Aphrodite, Athena and Artemis)

my greek vases, all found in charity shops

and finally my collage wall right beside my shelf, which has a bunch of myth related prints (as well as some fandom ones)

Current Tag Game

thanks for tagging me @bazzybelle!

current time: 00:18

current mood: bloody shattered. there was a miner's gala in our city today so the pub where i work was absolutely packed, and it was so hot and muggy with the awful weather on top.

current activity: just chilling in bed, listening to the rain.

currently thinking about: pride. my friends and i were just discussing what we're going to wear to a pride event at the end of the month. here's my plan:

current obsession: six of crows. i'm just constantly rotating the characters in my brain. rotisserie crows.

current favourite song:

current reading: ha! a lot. Bitch by Lucy Cooke, The Ancient Guide To Modern Life by Natalie Haynes, Dykes To Watch Out For by Alison Bechdel, Empress Of The East by Leslie Pierce, Elektra by Jennifer Saint and Helen Of Troy by Margaret George. i just ping between them as the fancy takes me.

current watching: i've been rewatching a lot of brooklyn 99 recently, it's just something comforting to return to as i used to watch it over and over again. i'm also watching Barbarians on netflix, my friend got me into it.

current favourite character: Matthias Helvar from Six Of Crows. every time i see someone call him boring or claim he only changed for a girl, my love for him grows out of spite. he did not go through an entire crisis of faith, overcome years of brainwashing and fearmongering, accept and love his partner FOR the things he was taught to hate instead of IN SPITE of them, and resolve to save the rest of his people from the same poisoning, all for people to say his redemption was shallow and selfish! also he's funny as hell, because he's the straight man all the other absolute freaks in the books are playing off. "my ghost won't associate with your ghost", "pay someone to pay someone to pay someone to..." y'all always forget that all the funniest lines come from his chapters, because he's the only one normal enough to point out how supremely weird the conversations the others are having around him actually are.

okay, i may have gotten slightly derailed here, but i refuse to delete it because i'm right goddamnit.

current wips: i'm only actually working on two things at the moment, my COTTA project and my original story about the aftermath of the Trojan War. as for abandoned projects... well, best not to invoke their names.
