[haveyoureadthispoll]

A powerful cultural touchstone of modern American literature, The Color Purple depicts the lives of African American women in early twentieth-century rural Georgia. Separated as girls, sisters Celie and Nettie sustain their loyalty to and hope in each other across time, distance and silence. Through a series of letters spanning twenty years, first from Celie to God, then the sisters to each other despite the unknown, the novel draws readers into its rich and memorable portrayals of Celie, Nettie, Shug Avery and Sofia and their experience. The Color Purple broke the silence around domestic and sexual abuse, narrating the lives of women through their pain and struggle, companionship and growth, resilience and bravery. Deeply compassionate and beautifully imagined, Alice Walker’s epic carries readers on a spirit-affirming journey towards redemption and love.

Everyone who has ever, even slightly, been Robin

*In official, DC-endorsed media 

Total: 100 (i think)

FYI:

my definition of a ‘Robin’ is extremely vague. For example, I’m counting Lois Lane because she went to a costume party as Robin, and I’m also counting ‘Boy’ from Batman: the Return of Bruce Wayne because he had the domino mask paint and was clearly a stand-in for Robin. Et cetera.

They’re organized chronologically by their first appearance as Robin

Also this is heavily dependent on DC Fandom Wiki, so please let me know if I missed anyone or if anything is inaccurate

KEY

Red = actually Robin for a significant portion of time (more than a few in-universe days & more than one issue/episode/movie/etc)

Italics = was never Robin in main continuity (i.e. Earth Two [before Earth One existed], Earth One, New Earth, and Prime Earth)

For #womenshistorymonth a look at some of the most important women in the history of The Phantom of the Opera.

Number 15. Claire Moore

Claire Moore was cast as the alternate Christine Daaé in the original cast of The Phantom of the Opera. She played three shows each week. When Sarah Brightman left the production after a year, Claire took on the role full-time.

In 1989 she left the role to play Ellen in the original London production of Miss Saigon.

A while later Claire returned to the role of Christine, most famously with Ethan Freeman.

Claire and Ethan were voted "favourite Christine and Phantom" by the Phantom Appreciation Society. This win led to a contract at Jay Records for a highlights album featuring them both.

She was due to return to in September 2013, this time to play Carlotta Guidicelli, but her run was cancelled due to injury.

Claire's early work includes appearing alongside Richard Harris in the 1982 London production of Camelot and playing the lead role of Audrey in the 1983–85 Comedy Theatre production of Little Shop of Horrors.

From 2000 to 2001, Claire played Mrs Anna (as alternate for Elaine Paige) in the London Palladium production of The King and I. She has also starred as Fantine and Madame Thenardier in Les Misérables.

In the 2019 National Theatre production of Follies, she played former Follie girl Hattie Walker and sang one of the shows most popular songs, ‘Broadway Baby’.

I was tagged by @tadpole-apocalypse to share five movies I'd like to show people! I picked some movies that most people I know haven't heard of or seen. Mostly.

Breakfast on Pluto (2005) An underrated comedy-drama I found during a Cillian Murphy filmography binge. It's about a transgender woman growing up and searching for her mother during the Troubles. It's not perfect but it stuck out to me when I first saw it because it provided such a sympathetic portrayal of a transgender character, which was pretty rare in most mainstream comedy during the 2000s. It has a really great cast and I recommend it to everyone.

2. Waterloo (1970)

A really outstanding historical film about the battle of Waterloo. It predates widespread use of CGI in film, so all of the soldiers, horses, cannons, and effects you see on the screen are practical. It's campy but one of the most technically impressive films I've ever seen and I don't think any one I've talked to has seen it.

3. The Wall (1982)

A movie based on the Pink Floyd concept album of the same name. It's about Pink, a burnt out rockstar, and his mental breakdown. It's visceral, it's expressive, it's weird as hell. It deserves the chance that Doug Walker clearly didn't give it.

4. Kung Fu Hustle (2004)

A village in 40s Shanghai gets bullied by these two wanna-be gangster twats, who then attract the attention of the actual gang they're mimicking. It's so fucking funny. Everyone should see it.

5. The Room (2003)

The king of cinema needs no introduction.

Happy Birthday James “Midge” Ure born October 10th 1953 in Cambuslang.

Born to a working class family Ure attended Cambuslang Primary School and Rutherglen Academy in Glasgow until he was 15 years old. For the first 10 years of his life he lived in a one-bedroom tenement flat. After leaving school Ure attended Motherwell Technical College and then began to work as an engineer, training at the National Engineering Laboratory (NEL), in nearby East Kilbride.

Midge started playing music in a Glasgow band called Stumble in 1969, before joining Salvation, a Glasgow-based group that became the bubblegum band Slik in 1974. Upset in the change of direction, Ure left the band to join the Rich Kids, a punk-pop group led by former Sex Pistol bassist Glen Matlock. The Rich Kids only released one album, 1978’s Ghosts of Princes in Towers, before breaking up later that year. Ure spent a brief time with the Misfits (not the American band) before forming Visage with drummer Rusty Egan and vocalist Steve Strange; he left the group to replace Gary Moore in Thin Lizzy, who had left in the middle of an American tour. After the tour was finished, Ure fulfilled an agreement to join Ultravox as the replacement for John Foxx.

Once he joined the band in 1980, Ure helped make Ultravox a mainstream success; during this time he also worked as a producer, making records with Steve Harley and Modern Man. In 1982, Ure released a solo single, a cover of the Walker Brothers’ hit “No Regrets”; it climbed into the U.K. Top Ten. Ure and Bob Geldof formed Band Aid, a special project to aid famine relief efforts in Ethiopia, in 1984. The two wrote the song “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” and assembled an all-star band of musicians to record the single; it sold millions of copies over the 1984 holiday season.

In 1985, Ultravox was put on hiatus and Ure began to pursue a full-time solo career. Recorded entirely by Ure, his 1985 solo debut, The Gift, launched the number one single “If I Was,” as well as the minor hits “That Certain Smile” and “Call of the Wild.” The following year, he recorded the final Ultravox album; in 1987, the band broke up and he began recording his second solo album. The resulting record, 1988’s Answers to Nothing, was less successful than The Gift in the U.K., yet it charted in the U.S., which is something Ure’s previous album failed to do. Three years later, Ure released his third album, Pure; while it didn’t do any business in America, the album featured the Top 20 British hit “Cold, Cold Heart.” He attempted a comeback in 1996 with Breathe, which went ignored by both the American and British markets. Four years later, his score for the Jon Cryer drama-comedy Went to Coney Island was issued by the Evenmore label.

Ure’s recording activity during the 2000s began with Move Me, which featured some surprisingly hard rocking material. A few years later, he published an autobiography, If I Was, and then, with Geldof, arranged the Live 8 concerts.

Following the release of the covers-oriented 10 IN 2008, Ure participated in an Ultravox reunion and continued to record as a solo artist. Fragile was issued in 2014, and featured the Moby collaboration “Dark, Dark Night.” In 2017, he collaborated with composer Ty Unwin on the album Orchestrated, which featured orchestral reworkings of Ultravox songs, as well as songs from his solo career.

In 2020 Midge released an album Soundtrack 1978-2019, he was one of the lucky artists to have completed his tour promoting this in February that year.

Midge has recently revealed why he turned down an offer to join the Sex Pistols, telling The Telegraph that he considered that taking up the invitation from the band's manager Malcolm McLaren would have been like "joining a slightly edgier Bay City ­Rollers". He received the offer to join the fledgling punk band back in 1975, while on a visit to McCormack’s instrument hire shop in Glasgow.

In an interview published in the Telegraph he said;

"I was stopped in the street by the Clash’s manager, Bernie Rhodes, who then introduced me to Malcolm McLaren, I didn’t know who either of them was, but they literally asked me to join the Sex Pistols without even asking what I did. To me it would have been like joining a slightly edgier Bay City Rollers, so I turned them down.

On 4th October he celebrated seven decades of music with a concert at the Royal Albert Hall. He is married with four daughters and lives in Somerset.

The Titans of Action Cinema: Chuck Norris, Steven Seagal, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Sylvester Stallone

Action cinema has seen a myriad of stars, but few have had the enduring impact and larger-than-life personas of Chuck Norris, Steven Seagal, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Sylvester Stallone. These icons not only redefined the genre but also left an indelible mark on popular culture. Each brought their unique style, charisma, and physical prowess to the screen, captivating audiences worldwide. Let's delve into the legacies of these titans of action cinema.

Chuck Norris: The Martial Arts Master

Chuck Norris is more than just an action star; he is a legend whose name is synonymous with toughness. Born on March 10, 1940, in Ryan, Oklahoma, Norris began his career in martial arts, winning numerous championships and founding his own schools. His transition to cinema came with the 1972 film "Way of the Dragon," where he famously fought Bruce Lee.

Norris's stoic demeanor and martial arts expertise became his trademarks. Movies like "Good Guys Wear Black" (1978) and "Lone Wolf McQuade" (1983) solidified his status, but it was the "Missing in Action" series (1984-1988) and "Walker, Texas Ranger" (1993-2001) TV show that truly made him a household name. Norris's roles often depicted him as the silent, invincible hero, a persona that has been immortalized in countless internet memes and "Chuck Norris facts."

Steven Seagal: The Aikido Enforcer

Steven Seagal, born April 10, 1952, in Lansing, Michigan, brought a unique blend of aikido to Hollywood, a martial art known for its fluidity and use of an opponent's energy against them. Seagal's imposing presence and real-life martial arts credentials set him apart in the action genre.

Seagal's breakout role came with "Above the Law" (1988), where he played Nico Toscani, a cop with a knack for brutal hand-to-hand combat. His subsequent films, including "Hard to Kill" (1990), "Marked for Death" (1990), and "Under Siege" (1992), showcased his no-nonsense approach to justice and solidified his reputation as an action star. Despite controversies and a varied career, Seagal remains a significant figure in martial arts cinema.

Arnold Schwarzenegger: The Austrian Oak

Arnold Schwarzenegger, born July 30, 1947, in Thal, Austria, is arguably the most recognizable action star in history. Before conquering Hollywood, Schwarzenegger was a bodybuilding champion, winning Mr. Olympia seven times. His herculean physique and undeniable charisma made him a natural fit for action films.

Schwarzenegger's breakthrough came with "Conan the Barbarian" (1982), but it was "The Terminator" (1984) that catapulted him to superstardom. His roles in "Predator" (1987), "Total Recall" (1990), and "True Lies" (1994) further cemented his status as an action icon. Beyond his film career, Schwarzenegger's tenure as the Governor of California (2003-2011) showcased his versatility and appeal. His catchphrases, particularly "I'll be back," have become ingrained in pop culture.

Sylvester Stallone: The Underdog Champion

Sylvester Stallone, born July 6, 1946, in New York City, is the epitome of the underdog story, both on and off the screen. Stallone wrote and starred in "Rocky" (1976), a film about a small-time boxer who gets a shot at the world heavyweight title. "Rocky" was a critical and commercial success, winning three Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and solidifying Stallone's place in Hollywood.

Stallone's other iconic role came with "First Blood" (1982), introducing the world to John Rambo, a Vietnam War veteran with unparalleled survival skills. The "Rambo" series and subsequent "Rocky" sequels established Stallone as a leading action star. His ability to portray characters with a mix of vulnerability and relentless determination resonated with audiences. Films like "Cobra" (1986), "Cliffhanger" (1993), and "The Expendables" series (2010-2014) further showcased his range and staying power.

Legacy and Influence

Chuck Norris, Steven Seagal, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Sylvester Stallone have each contributed uniquely to the action genre, shaping its evolution and leaving a legacy that continues to inspire new generations of filmmakers and actors. Their films are not just action-packed spectacles but cultural touchstones that reflect the changing tastes and values of their times.

These stars' dedication to their craft, coupled with their distinct personalities and physical capabilities, ensured their lasting impact on the world of cinema. Whether it's Norris's martial arts prowess, Seagal's aikido techniques, Schwarzenegger's bodybuilding background, or Stallone's underdog spirit, each has left an indelible mark on the landscape of action films.

Footnotes - Part 1

I don't want to post the whole book without the footnotes; but it seems obnoxious to put the footnotes in a bunch of tags, so that's why I'm only tagging this with the book title.

[1] Sam Mbah and I.E. Igariway write that before colonial contact nearly all traditional African societies were “anarchies,” and they make a strong argument to this effect. The same could also be said of other continents. But as the author does not come from any of these societies, and since Western culture traditionally believes it has the right to represent other societies in self-serving ways, it is best to avoid such broad characterizations, while still endeavoring to learn from these examples.

It should be noted that Norway has one of the lowest wealth gaps of any capitalist country, and also a low reliance on police and prisons. The majority of civil disputes and many criminal cases in Norway are settled through mediation (p. 163).

[39] Technically, human elders provide a reproductive function because they store obscure types of information like how to survive natural disasters that only occur once every several generations, and they can also serve to increase social cohesion by increasing the amount of living relations within the community — for example the number of people with the same grandparents is much larger than the number of people with the same parents. However, these survival benefits are not immediately obvious and there is no evidence of any human society making such calculations when deciding whether or not to feed their toothless grannies. In other words, the fact that we avail ourselves of the benefits of the elderly is a reflection of our habitual social generosity.

Christina Applegate

My mom has MS. back in 2004, my mom became wheelchair bound because of it. Before that, she was using a wheelchair on an ambulatory basis. MS relapses are an ugly thing. MS eventually robs someone of their ability to walk. My mom eventually had to use a cane, then she had to use a walker, now, she has to use a wheelchair. My mom even had to get orthopedic shoes at one point. She got pairs that looked like regular tennis shoes, and you couldn't even tell that my mom's tennis shoes were orthopedic shoes. So, yes, for someone with MS, shoes can be bothersome.

My mom was diagnosed with MS back in 1981 or 1982. She was having dizzy spells, and she had to stay in the hospital. My mom was diagnosed, via an MRI and with a lumbar puncture.

Having a parent with MS is my normal. I haven't known any different since I was one or two. I thought all moms walk with a cane, but that's not necessarily the case.

Luckily, my mom had a great neurologist who helped diagnose her. Her neurologist was part of the innovative Henry Ford Hospital, an hospital and hospital system that is very innovative, and is coming out with such remarkable treatments and cures.

Christina Applegate was diagnosed after she noticed that her toes were tingling. Well, tingling and numbness are just one of the symptoms of MS. We've all had limbs fall asleep, and then it goes away. With MS, that tingling feeling lingers. MS relapses are not pretty, they're ugly in fact.

Now. like my mom. Christina Applegate is losing her ability to walk. I wouldn't be surprised that Christina Applegate has a wheelchair strictly for ambulatory use. Eventually, she will be in a wheelchair at all times.
