Something I love about Peter Pan (2003) is that it's considered by many (myself included) to be the best on-screen adaptation of Peter Pan yet there's quite fair bit that isn't from the book BUT these additions still (mostly) keep in-line with the themes of the book.

Some (that I can recall right now) film-only additions include:

Aunt Millicent - seemed to be a replacement for Liza the maid, but mostly there to hammer in the message that while Wendy is not a young girl anymore, she is still a child so ffs quit making young girls grow up so fast!

George Darling being a complete anxious wreck - I mean, he was still anxious in the book but he kept it hidden under the stern father persona. But in the film, he was like that to create an even bigger contrast to Hook who is basically Wendy's nightmare father. And of course the wonderful moment at the end where he breaks down crying, which is from the book. George's arc can be summed up as "screw toxic masculinity standards - love your family and show emotion!"

Mary Darling talking about "the many different kinds of bravery" George Darling has - honestly, I was so convinced this dialogue was from the book because it sounds like something Barrie would've written.

Peter and Wendy's fairy dance - Peter questioning their dynamic as "it's only make-believe, isn't it?" while Wendy wanting it to be more than that.

Hook seducing (*dry-heaves*) Wendy - Wendy's attraction to Hook is in the book, but P.J. Hogan expanded on it in the film

The ENTIRE climactic battle between Peter and Hook while they're both flying - yeah none of that was in the book but it perfectly captures the tragedy of both characters. Also the dialogue Hook taunts Peter with "let us now take a peep into the future" etc. is taken from the book, just re-contextualized. (Nearly threw my book across the room when I realized it was Wendy telling the story- P.J. Hogan you are EVIL! I love it!!)

Wendy giving Peter her hidden kiss - Wendy and Peter don't have a romance in the book, so this is what I meant by 'mostly' in-line with themes from the book. But it still does connect to growing up so it's not entirely unrelated. And it's still a beautiful yet bittersweet scene.

So, I'm not saying these additions are bad because they weren't in the book. Far from it, I actually think they're some of the best scenes in the film! But I think that especially over the last few years I've been rethinking what makes a 'faithful' or 'good' adaptation. And it doesn't mean 'word for word from the book'. It's, well, adapting. These changes helped create an incredible film while still keeping the spirit of the original source material. So, scenes like these are just one reason why I think the 2003 version is the best adaptation of Peter Pan.

Steve Albini

This is going in the Mary Vs. the Movies newsletter, but I wanted to post it here too:

Steve Albini passed away yesterday.

When I was young, I religiously read critics. I didn’t know most of their names, but I would read as many album and film reviews as I could, whether Rolling Stone and Spin or the Philadelphia Inquirer at my junior high library, or whatever magazines or alt weeklies I could get my hands on at Zerns’ Farmers’ Market. I saw critics as they wanted to be seen—as guides, as teachers who would tell me what was good and what should be avoided. (I avoided Teenage Fanclub’s Bandwagonesque for years because Rolling Stone only gave it two stars—this should’ve been my first clue, I get angry just thinking about it).

So when Nirvana’s In Utero came out, the critical response, as far as I experienced it at the time, was “this is unlistenable noise, and it’s all Steve Albini’s fault.” Now, I didn’t know who he was, but I loved Nirvana. In our review for Over the Edge I mention the “Smells Like Teen Spirit” video, and I don’t think I can overplay just what a liberation it was to see a band destroy a school when I was twelve. For this and other reasons, Nirvana was very important to me, and I was deliriously excited for a new Nirvana album. And here people were saying “this is garbage”. Well, I thought, how bad could it be? “Heart Shaped Box” sounds good, right?

I couldn’t understand what the critics were talking about—this sounded great. It didn’t have that shiny ‘90s Butch Vig sound, sure, but it wasn’t unlistenable. (By now I had found The Velvet Underground & Nico, so at least “European Son” had prepared me for what noise rock might be.) If anything, I realized I loved In Utero more than Nevermind because of the noise. It was an early lesson in not blindly listening to critics over my own gut. 

Now, here I am, more than thirty years later, a (kind of) film critic. I’m not saying don’t listen to critics—I still read them, still look for insights. But I definitely don’t prioritize them over my own reaction to a work of art itself. And realizing that the critics can be wrong because they didn’t like how Albini recorded this album, it was a huge lesson for me, long before college or anything tried to teach me critical thinking.

Anyway, after that, I found out Albini had a hand in so much music that I loved—the Pixies and Breeders, Superchunk, P.J. Harvey. And that’s just when I was 14, I’d since gone on and gotten into everything from Silkworm to the Wedding Present to Joanna Newsom to Low. He was the first engineer—I won’t call him a producer, I promise—whose work I actually cared about. (Sure, later I would find out about Phil Spector, but my god if he isn’t the anti-Albini, so the less said the better.) And I know this isn’t even touching his own music with Big Black or Shellac.

When Dennis and I first started going out, he brought up Albini’s article “The Problem with Music”, specifically talking about how the industry squeezes and gaslights artists, waving thousands of dollars in front of them and whittling away at the pile until the band is left with essentially nothing. It informed the way we both kick against being tied down to any kind of boss, at least when it comes to any creative output we make. Even if someone came to us tomorrow and said they wanted to sign us to their podcast network (a thing that won’t happen anyway, given how the media bubble has burst), or sign Deth Elf, my gut reaction would be “no”—we’ll always be small, and we’ll never be professionals, but we’re doing what we do because we love it, and we want control over it. And maybe that’s shooting ourselves in the foot, but at least it has a kind of honesty.

I know people who knew him, and I can’t imagine the loss their feeling right now. I’m just someone who listens to the radio a lot. But my god, my life would be so much poorer if he hadn’t been there shaping music for the last forty years.

Do you have any "underrated" actors, or ones who you think deserve more spotlight? Are there any scenes that come to mind from their career?

Sorry it took so long for me to answer this, but here it is! Get ready for a long list because I have many, many thoughts.

Buster Keaton: This man is one of the kings of the silent film era as well as among stuntmen. This man was dedicated to his craft and it shows because his stunts are nothing short of incredible, especially since for the 1920s being a stuntman was incredibly dangerous. Oftentimes stuntmen were locals with not a lot of training, and many times they were severely injured or killed, so it was very rare for an actual actor for the time to do their own stunts. And not only was he an actor and stuntman, he was also an incredible director. I'd highly recommend any of his films, but the one that introduced me to him was Sherlock Jr, which is free on YouTube to watch. But, if you just want a taste of some of his stunts, here's a good compilation. One last thing about him that's absolutely badass in my opinion: in Sherlock Jr (and that compilation ) the stunt with the water tower actually broke his neck when he fell on the track. He brushed it off with a drink to get rid of the ache, and 30 years later at a doctor's appointment he was asked when he broke his neck after getting an x-ray. Short king badass.

Carrie Fisher: Yeah, she's definitely more well-known, but hear me out. When you think of Carrie Fisher, you probably think of Princess Leia. And although her acting is fantastic in that role, I feel like it overshadows a lot of her other roles. I love Princess Leia as much as everyone else, but two of my other favorite roles of hers are Marie in When Harry Met Sally and Mystery Woman in The Blues Brothers. I adore this woman so much and I really wish these two roles of her got more attention. Even though her screen time in these two films were short, I loved both of her characters; the Tunnel Scene in Blues Brothers is probable one of my favorites. Rip Queen.

Tony Todd: People do NOT talk about this man as much as he deserves. Like I never really see people talk about him compared to a lot of other prominent horror actors for example. He's in a lot of things: Venom in the Spider-Man 2 game from 2023, the Vortigaunts in Half-Life 2 Episode 2 and Half-Life Alyx, Ben in Night of the Living Dead (1990), Bludworth in Final Destination, among many other things, but most people will recognize him as The Candyman. His voice is absolutely legendary, and it's not hard to see why. No amount of praise I could give this man could ever do his performances justice, so I'll let them speak for themselves. "The Gas-Pump Scene" in Night of the Living Dead and the "Be My Victim Scene" in Candyman are my all-time favorites. This man is an absolute legend.

Rob Paulsen: Another big name that doesn't get the recognition he deserves. He's one of the most prominent voice actors of all time, even more so than Mark Hamill (who also doesn't get talked about much when it comes to his voice acting compared to his live-action roles). This man is responsible for so many voices in my childhood: Yakko, Pinky, Dr. Scratchansniff, Donatello, Raphael, Sir Rothchild, Mark Chang, Toodles, Spike (Land Before Time), Bobble, Jack Fenton, Carl Wheezer, P.J. Pete, and Bubsy (every time I hear Bubsy I think of Snapcube's video and this clip and I break down sobbing with laughter) to just name a few. This man is responsible for voicing so many beloved characters since 1983; he's an absolute icon among voice actors in my opinion. Animaniacs is one of my favorite childhood shows, and I know it wouldn't be the same if his characters were voiced by someone else.

Dolly Parton: The patron saint of the Smokies and one of the best country singers to ever exist. She's not in a lot of movies or tv shows, but she was in two movies I love: 9 to 5 and The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. Best Little Whorehouse is a guilty pleasure movie of mine because it's such a out-of-the-box idea for a movie that just works for some reason, but 9 to 5 trumps it. That movie was her first real acting role and she does a fantastic job, and the "Rooster to a Hen" scene lives rent-free in my head constantly and I actively use it whenever I have the chance.

Jim Nabors: This man is very near and dear to my heart. He was born close to where I grew up, he was a Southern gay man, and I spent a lot of my childhood watching him on The Carol Burnett show (the two of them were best friends and I love them both so much), The Andy Griffith Show, and Gomer Pyle USMC. I could name so many of his scenes that I love, but I gotta go with the "Citizen's Arrest" bit in Andy Griffith because my family quotes it all the time (also honorable mention to Don Knotts; his "Nervous Man"/"Nervous Weatherman" skit is one of my favorites I love his facial expressions) Also a fun fact about Jim Nabors, he's also a balladeer with an incredible singing voice and sang at the opening at the Indy 500 starting in 1972 for 36 years. I've got one of his original records from the 60s and it's one of my most prized possessions.

Alan Alda: This man is responsible for many of my tears, and I mean that in the best way. As writer, director, and actor in M*A*S*H, he's responsible for some of the most heart-wrenching episodes in the entire series. He's in plenty of other things too like Marriage Story, Crimes and Misdemeanors, Canadian Bacon, The Four Seasons, and Everyone Says I Love You, but let's be honest Hawkeye Piece takes the cake. He can act humor, he can act hopelessness, he can act rage, and he can do it in such an impactful way that's highlighted beautifully in this character. I honestly can't choose a favorite scene of his, but here's two scenes that have the best quality on Youtube: "War is Hell" and "Through the Wisecracks". This man knows how to deliver emotion, and I'm not afraid to admit that that second scene made me cry when I first watched it, and it still makes me tear up now.

David Ogden Stiers: He was also on M*A*S*H, but most people probably know him as Jumba, Governor Ratcliffe, Wiggins, Cogsworth, and The Narrator (Beauty and the Beast). But much like Alan Alda, the role of his I love the most is Major Charles Winchester in M*A*S*H. He replaced Larry Linville's Major Frank Burns as Hawkeye and BJ's tentmate, but he has far more likable moments than Frank. He plays a fantastic stuck-up jackass, but what really makes him underrated is how he can play a character like that who can still have such compelling moments of sympathy and strength that adds so much depth and warmth to the character. "The Piano Scene" was the one that made me love his character, and I think about it a lot. Stiers is fantastic in this scene, and I think it's a beautiful representation of his incredible acting.

Brad Douriff: Much like Carrie Fisher, Douriff's work as Chucky from the Child's Play series often overshadows his other works. Don't get me wrong, the series is great and he's fantastic as Chucky, but I honestly don't believe it's him at his absolute best acting. For me, his roles as Billy in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and The Gemini Killer in The Exorcist III are far more compelling. Cuckoo's Nest was one of his first acting roles, and much like Dolly he nailed it for it being a first. And these two roles just go to show the incredible range this guy has, from the stammering and nervous Billy to the sadistic and rageful Gemini Killer.

Gene Wilder: The original Willy Wonka himself, but he's yet another actor who's other roles are primarily shadowed by one more recognizable role. Once again, he's perfectly fantastic as Willy Wonka, but there's so many of his other roles go unrecognized when he's discussed, such as Eugene from Bonnie and Clyde, Leo in The Producers, Jim in Blazing Saddles, Dr. Frankenstein in Young Frankenstein, and Dave in See No Evil Hear No Evil. I will say that Wonka's my favorite of his roles because of the nostalgia, but I also love Leo and Jim. "Jim's Hysteria" and "Waco Kid" is another show of the fantastic range an actor can have (and an honorable mention to Cleavon Little in this movie, he's fuckin fantastic), and he's genuinely one of my favorites.

Five years in the making, this pulse-bursting monument to lowbrow cultural obsession is a must for all film fanatics, music maniacs, anti-fashion mutants, '80s nostalgists, sleazoids, cop-killers and spazzmatics!

[wickedwretch]

Hello and welcome to this Pinned Post. My name— or rather my Alias is Beale. This (side)blog was created specifically so that I could try and find some one or multiple roleplay partners. It’s nothing fancy, so hopefully you can look past that. If you’ve come here you’re interested in some 1 on 1 roleplay with me, which is super cash money. But first, let’s get down to brass tacks.

You may be be asking, “Beale, why not just make a roleplay blog?” Tumblr roleplay has become way too focused on aesthetic for me and having to make each post pretty just takes the fun out of it. And if your posts aren’t pretty, people are less likely to interact with you. And frankly, I don’t have the time to log on from a computer to do all the work it takes to reply. I enjoy having the muse pages and such, but I just don’t have the time for it. (As much as I miss some aspects of it) So my solution is discord. I can reply to threads from my phone, and it just makes life easier. Now to the bullet points.

I’m Old™️, so I ask that you are of age if we interact. Especially if smut is involved. Though truthfully, 90 percent of the time I’d prefer the scene fade to black so to speak, but every once in a while I’ll write it out.

I have a full time job. I work 40+ hrs a week. I also have ADD, depression and anxiety and sometimes that makes replies slow. So bear with me. Sometimes I’m fast and sometimes I’m slower than smoke off shit, there is no in between.

I truthfully don’t have a lot of triggers, so I’m always open to most plots. Communication is important and if there’s something I’m doing that you’re not comfortable with, please don’t hesitate to say something! I’m here to have fun, not cause upset. I ask that you give me that same courtesy.

I’d prefer if you were semi-literate, though I totally understand if English is not your first language. Replies do not ever have to match lengths, just as long as I have enough to work with! (:

I’m oc friendly (I have a few myself!) and fandom friendly. I’ll list the fandoms below and the characters I’m willing to write.

MCU: Wanda Maximoff, Kate Bishop, Yelena Belova.

Pitch Perfect: Beca Mitchell, Aubrey Posen, Stacie Conrad, Emily Junk.

Charmed: Piper Halliwell, P.J Halliwell, Melinda Halliwell, Henry Mitchell Jr.

American Horror Story: Misty Day, Nora Montgomery, Sister Mary Eunice, an OC.

Grey’s Anatomy: I’ve written a few main ogs, but mostly I just have next gen ocs.

Then I have a handful of fandomless ocs that I’d be happy to list for you.

I ship my characters with chemistry, but most of the time I do fxf or occasionally fxm (mostly because I don’t have a lot of male characters lmao)

Plots of all kinds are welcome!

If after all of this you’re interested, shoot me a message here with your rules/guidelines and if we click, I can drop my discord! Thanks for taking the time to read!

I hope you have a fantastic day/night and I look forward to hopefully writing with you!
