Emily (15): Riddle me this... why is this movie like The Corrs?

#onemannsmovies review of "Emily" (2022). #EmilyMovie. Director Frances O'Connor and actor Emma Mackey deliver a Brontë tour de force. 5/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “Emily” (2022). I wasn’t particularly impressed by the trailer for this one. And on understanding that actress Frances O’Connor had written and directed this as her debut feature film, my first thought was “uh, uh – here comes a vanity-project disaster”. But nothing could be further from the truth. For Emily, a drama based on an “imagined” variant of the short and…

The Campbell House, beauty, history and more!

St. Louis Missouri has a lot of amazing sites. My friend Janna Seiz and I just decided to stop giving each other presents for the holiday. We do experiences instead! For Christmas, she took me to tour the beautiful Campbell House Museum. The mansion was home to the Robert Campbell family from a few years after it was built in 1851 – 1938. The house is full of history, beauty, and almost all…

FLASH! We join Lon­don’s glit­terati at Chanel and Charles Finch’s an­nual star-stud­ded pre-Baf­tas bash

Dramatic skies poured outside on the eve of the Baftas, but the intimate corners and warming fireplaces of 5 Hertford Street drew in Britain’s best-loved talents and Hollywood stars for the annual Charles Finch and Chanel party. Emily Blunt and Tom Ford kissed hello, before collecting glasses of champagne and going over to greet Gwendoline Christie and Giles Deacon. As the mariachi band played a lively set, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, George MacKay and Minnie Driver chatted together, while Bel Powley and Douglas Booth unwound after a busy day, having first attended a birthday lunch for Powley’s mother, before the Simone Rocha A/W 24 fashion show, declaring with intent: ‘Now we can relax!’

Bob Geldof and Mariella Frostrup linked arms to lead the charge down to dinner, followed by Isla Fisher, who was admiring the interiors. Once everyone was seated, Charles Finch addressed the room: ‘It has been an incredible year for cinema,’ he said, also paying homage to his co-host Chanel and its historic affinity with film – creating haute-couture outfits for productions such as the New Wave Last Year at Marienbad, and countless memorable red-carpet looks. Over lobster salad and poussin, conversation and wine flowed: the nominees Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig were deep in conversation, and Richard E Grant caught up with his Saltburn director Emerald Fennell. Last year’s winner Emma Mackey was all smiles in anticipation of presenting the Rising Star Award, saying, ‘It’s quite mad, I’ve no idea who will get it, so I hope I don’t mess it up.’ It was almost midnight when guests began to descend on the dancefloor, where the party was only just beginning.

Who would play you in a film of your life?

‘Saoirse Ronan – she would make me very fabulous.’

A silver-screen icon you’d like to meet

‘Gena Rowlands is my absolute idol – I’m holding out hope.’

Remember… the people I find beautiful are the people who inspire me. I love unusual beauty like Peggy Guggenheim, who had incredible style and taste. Gina Rowlands is also someone I think of as beautiful. I like women like that. I like men like that. It's not all necessarily about the Best Body or the Best Hair. I think it's much more important to do incredible things with your life. — Caitríona Balfe, Cara (magazine), August 2016

Daria Should Have Kissed Jane Instead of Tom

“Dye! Dye! My Darling!” (August 2, 2000)

Spend a little time in a Daria fan community and you’ll find folks who ship the title character with her best friend, Jane. The show actually never does a gay episode and only gets the slightest bit queer in the first movie, Is It Fall Yet?, which has Jane affirming her heterosexuality despite how very queer she might seem. In this episode, we’re discussing the nonetheless existent lesbian vibes between Daria and Jane — and who better to offer input on this than Talking Simpsons cohost Bob Mackey? Sure, he’s straight, but it turns out that straight men can relate to female characters too. (We were shocked!)

As it turns out, Bob and Henry’s What a Cartoon podcast covers not only the Daria episode that immediately precedes this one, “Fire!” and also “The Misery Chick,” which as we discuss is a crucial turning point in the development of Daria Morgandorfer.

This week, Glen and Drew are guests on Talking Simpsons, discussing "Three Gays of the Condo" and why it's not great! If you need more of our voices in your life, have a listen here.

Absolutely love this blog. Fucking hysterical and pathetically sad at the same time.

I do need to get þhos off my chest.... I used to adore these "man" children. So far as to buy merch. Watching every ep of the show. Hell I met the fuckers at Bob Mackey's. When the show was still good. Got pics. Had a decently long convo with Nick. Billy asked for our numbers.

Long story short, my mom has our hall ways filled with family pics. Well my brothers all had pics with their significant others and such. My pic she put up was with.... Zak. I was soooo pissed. I never really liked him back then in his prime. Yeah he was objective hot, but nooooo.

It makes me sad how horrible the GAC empire has collapsed. It's not a show anymore. Take that back. It IS a show. It's not scary to watch. It's not interesting. It's Zak finally getting paid to the acting he prob faked in the mirror as a child. It's sad.

/end rant.

Once the show became “entertainment” it stopped being about the initial paranormal curiosity. - TDB

Another long, long article here.

place he knew God wanted the new school to be built.

A banquet was given that night by the Chamber of Commerce, and the school was officially invited to come to Greenville. The Chamber Commerce president said, "We should not promise anything we cannot fulfill." This statement impressed the committee from the school very much. Dr. Jones told the Chamber of Commerce on what basis the school would come to Greenville.

The Chamber of Commerce offered to buy all the land bordering the roads, approximately 170 acres, which would cost $170,000. They had a vision of what the college would mean to the Greenville economy, as well as its prestige; and they did everything in their power to realize that vision.

The decision to move the school to Greenville was announced. Cleveland, Tenn., became a hub of excitement. Representatives from the national wire services and many newspapers came streaming in to get the big story. Who ever heard of a school this size selling out and moving like this? What a remarkable thing that there was a ready-made buyer for the school! Here was a story indeed!

Well, BJU did it just a couple decades earlier.

JOHNSON'S ARRIVAL

R. K. "Lefty" Johnson moved to Greenville on June 1, 1946, to supervise the construction of the new school. He writes concerning those days: "There were many, many miracles that happened here during construction days -- miracles as real to me as the one when the Lord turned the water into wine at the marriage feast at Cana of Galilee. I was just as conscious of His miracle-working and His leading then as I am today. He opened doors that we wanted opened. He kept doors closed that should not have been opened. To God goes the praise for everything that happened." He continues, "The land had already been subdivided; so all the land had to be repossessed and gotten back into one tract to turn over to us. It was done in a matter of days.

"Then there was a building permit to get in Washington. The War Production Board said, "No more buildings. We have to have steel for our armed forces. We cannot permit any building program.'

"Dr. Jones contacted several key men who helped, and we finally secured the permit one day after the War Production Board had turned down a big state university for a two-million-dollar project. God opened that door when it seemed impossible, thus proving that 'Man's extremity is God's opportunity.'"

Remember, Lefty was a known prevaricator.

TIME WAS FACTOR

The building of the school had to be done within 14 months after the agreement was signed with the Church of God; otherwise, any time still spent using the school in Cleveland would cost $1,000 a week rent, or $52,000 for the year. BJU officials tried the impossible and depended on many miracles to happen during those 14 months.

A loan that had been promised almost failed to materialize because of the untimely death of the president of the insurance company. The company was reluctant to grant the loan of $1,250,000 because as they said, "We don't know Dr. Jones as well as our president knew him."

Dr. Jones prayed as a plane winged him to see the officials of the insurance company. After talking with him for some time, the Board refused the loan of $1,250,000 -- but granted a loan of $1,900,000!

Several months later the school officials discovered that if the extra money had not been granted, the school would have been forced to get a second mortgage which would have ruined it financially.

The money was paid back years before it was due.

Thirteen months after the ground had been broken, in October, 1947, the new school in Greenville was opened. No longer Bob Jones College, it was now "Bob Jones University,"* with Dr. Bob Jones Jr. as the new president. He had been acting president of the college for some time; so he came to the new official position with no little experience.

More than 2,500 students flocked to the new campus, coming from all over the nation, as well as many foreign countries. According to Dr. Bob Jones Sr., 3,200 applicants had to be turned away at that time.

BJU had exactly 1899 undergraduates in the 1947-48 school year.

The campus was a picture of contrast -- new modernistic buildings set on a treeless sea of red clay and reached by old-time western boardwalks. But R. K. Johnson's vision materialized eventually. As time passed, the rolling green lawns, the verdant shrubbery, flowers, and trees, as well as wide walks, made the campus a showplace of beauty.

According to the September 28, 1947, Greenville News, "All buildings of the Bob Jones University campus are new and have been especially designed to meet the needs of the institution as realized by the president. The architecture is modern and the interiors incorporate many of the newest ideas for efficient use of light. Principles of psychology have been applied in the colors used in decorative schemes. The buildings are all completely fire proof, are being constructed of concrete, glass, and buff-colored brick.

"There are five dormitories for single students on the cam-pus. Four of them can accommodate about 400 persons each. Faculty members and married students will live in four new apartment buildings, GI housing units and trailers.

People were living in cardboard boxes back campus, remember?

SIX SCHOOLS

The institution, although only twenty years old when it located in Greenville, was composed of six schools even at that time: the College of Arts and Science; the School of Religion; the School of Fine Arts; the School of Education; the School of Commerce; and the School of Aeronautics. It was the only university offering instruction in piano, violin, and other instruments, and voice at no extra cost.

Dr. Jones, Sr., told the Spartanburg Lions Club on September 29, 1947, "The educational system of the university is planned so that students who graduate from the school can enter into work at any graduate school in the country."

The new plant was valued at over $4,000,000. Its set-up provided for 2,000 dormitory students and at least 1,000 students including those from Greenville and nearby towns. Opening exercises were held on October 1, 1947, at the Dixon-McKenzie Dining Common.

And who are these kids?

Students were interviewed after the school moved to Greenville, and the following were some of their comments concerning the change of location:

"I like the southern hospitality. Greenville is a better place for the school than Cleveland." (Sophomore from New Jersey)

"The shopping district has a variety of things to buy. People in Greenville are very nice. This is a wonderful place." (Sophomore from North Dakota)

Dorothy Steidl was the only Sophomore from North Dakota in 1948. She did graduate in 1950 and married Joseph Zdeb in 1951.

BEAUTIFUL PLACE

"This is a beautiful place." (Bob Jones Academy senior from Oregon)

No BJA senior from Oregon is listed in the Vintage.

"Greenville is a very fine city. My parents visited here for a few days, and the business people were very nice to them and made a big impression. As a student of the university, I'm very glad we're in Greenville." (Senior from Kansas)

"It's a wonderful place period!" (Bob Jones Academy senior from Texas)

There’s one: Patricia Marsh from Cisco, Texas. She attended one year at BJU.

On Thanksgiving Day twenty years ago, formal dedication services were held. The Governor of South Carolina, J. Strom Thurmond, spoke; and religious, educational, and civic leaders came from all over the state as well as the Nation for the ceremonies.

Also there were Mrs. Billy Sunday and Homer Rodeheaver, well known gospel singer for whom the BJU auditorium was named, as well as many local pastors and friends.

Twenty-two new buildings were presented by Dr. Jones, Sr., to Dr. Jones, Jr., who dedicated them to God. The Founder said to his son, "Remember, "Them that honour me, I will honour." (This promise of God's is found in I Samuel 2:30, Old Testament.)

The university founder said in December, 1947, concerning the new university: "We've scrambled old-time religion and modern culture together in a mixture that tastes good together.... Our object is to train show-window material for Jesus Christ. Everything on the campus is a means to an end and that is to glorify Christ and train good workmen for Him."

Scrambled? Old and new? So that they “taste good together.” That’s like having BJU Grass, yes?

The "everything" included such things as two or three Shakespearean plays each year; one or two operas; maintaining a symphony orchestra; holding unusual and dramatic vesper services; offering a training course for a large number of "preacher boys" (candidates for the ministry); putting on speech courses; and having a concert series that included leading artists from throughout the world.

POSTAL STATION

A postal station was established at BJU by the Greenville post office on January 16, 1948.

The first Spring Bible Conference at the new university included such notable speakers as the late Dr. M. R. DeHaan of Grand Rapids, Mich., well-known radio teacher and author; the late Dr. W. S. Hottel of Detroit, Mich., author Sunday school material for the "Expositor's Illuminator," as well as International Sunday School lessons; Dr. R. R. Brown of Omaha, Nebr., who originated the first non-denominational radio service in America in 1923; and Dr. J. J. Van Gorder of Hendersonville, N. C., whose Biblical charts have been used in conference work throughout this country and Canada.

Ah, then the honoraries.

At the first graduation exercises of the university on June 16, 1948, 197 BA and BS degrees, 12 master of arts degrees, and two doctor of philosophy degrees were conferred. The first honorary degrees to be given by the university were in December, 1948, to the late Olin Johnston, U.S. senator from South Carolina; the late Joseph R. Bryson, U.S. representative from South Carolina; and J. Strom Thurmond, governor of South Carolina, now U. S. Senator.

Senator Thurmond said on several public occasions while governor that the greatest single incident that took place during his tenure of office was the location of Bob Jones University in South Carolina.

Don’t miss Strom’s speech at BJU’s opening.

Under the leadership of talented and culture-minded Bob Jones Jr., the school has received world recognition as a leader in the field of fine arts. The cultural emphasis has been evident in many areas of school endeavor, and the enterprises arising out of this emphasis have provided valuable training for BJU students.

In 1949 the construction of a $75,000 radio broadcasting station was begun; and WMUU came into being. Its call letters stand for BJU's designation, the "World's Most Unusual University." The schedule of programs included religious, educational, and cultural features, as well as news and music, even as it does today. Since then three more stations, WMUU-FM, WAVO, and WAVO-FM, have been added.

These facilities have provided BJU students, particularly those majoring in radio and television, with unusual opportunities for practical experience. Students participate in all phases of the broadcasting work, and receive valuable practical, as well as academic, knowledge of the field.

In 1950 "Unusual Films" was organized by BJU. Mrs. Katherine Stenholm, speech teacher and Shakespearean actress, went to Hollywood to learn all she could about professional techniques and equipment. Under her able direction, the BJU studio began to take shape.

The department moved into its new quarters in the fall of 1950. The studio was equipped with a gigantic sound stage complete with cameras, microphone perambulators, catwalks, professional cranes and multidirectional dollies, light accessories, and are and incandescent lights. Elaborately appointed studios were there also for the various phases of the work.

The Bowen Biblical Museum at the university was completed in the fall of 1951. The $125,000 modern building not only was constructed to house the museum pieces collected by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bowen over a period of years, but also included curators' quarters, an art gallery, projection room, and a garden containing Oriental plants mentioned in the Bible. On Thanksgiving Day of 1951 the museum and art gallery were opened for the first time to the public.

MUSEUM MOVED

The museum and art gallery moved into elaborate and spacious new facilities in November of 1965. In the high-ceiling museum building, more than 300 original paintings of the Old Masters are displayed in 30 galleries.

And then it became All in One Package!

Added to the campus in 1949-50 were the laundry and dry-cleaning plant; in 1950-51 plant a surgical ward; and a classroom building for the junior-high and high school students in 1951-52. Also added in recent years have been several new dormitories, faculty homes, a fine arts building, the Howell Memorial Science Building, gymnasium, and new dining common.

Bob Jones University now matriculates about 3,600 students a year. Representing nearly every state in the Union and some 30 foreign countries and territories, these students travel an estimated distance of some five million miles to come to BJU. Alumni are serving Christ in over 90 countries around the world. There are now over 100 different denominations represented in the student body. The present campus is valued at more than 30 million dollars.

Not quite. It’s so odd how they puff the numbers. In the 1968 Vintage, every person pictured -- graduate, undergraduate, Institute, Academy, Junior High -- totals 3241. That’s not 3600.

And just the University and Institute -- all those people who would be called undergraduates -- totals 2749 -- a thousand under their lie. BJU has a lot of trouble with the truth.

Many schools have departed from the purposes and positions of their founders. Bob Jones University, however, is still today what its founder intended it to be. Though the school has prospered and grown, it still remains faithful to the religious position which is embodied in the university's creed -- it has not drifted -- it has remained true to the purposes and intent of its founder.

Dr. Jones, Sr., tried to make every possible preparation in the school's by-laws to keep BJU true to the principles on which it was founded and true to the Word of God.

"I made up my mind," he has stated, "that the foundation of Bob Jones University should be an orthodox, conservative Christian foundation. So in the charter we incorporated the Bob Jones University creed and wrote in the charter that this creed could never be changed. The creed ... includes all the fundamental essentials of the Christian Faith which are accepted by all evangelical Christians regardless of their denominational affiliation. . . Every teacher who teaches in Bob Jones University is required to sign every year, the orthodox Christian creed upon which the school was founded."

It’s not that they haven’t changed. It’s that they repeat that they haven’t changed. Not-changing is their brand. It’s not their actual practice.

Alumni often return to BJU and notice how the physical aspect of the school has changed. But many of them have remarked, "The spirit of campus remains the same!"

This gets me. Because it sounds exactly like the +++Positives+++ in 2023.

During the forty years of its existence, Bob Jones University has sent out thousands of ministers, missionaries, and Christian workers to proclaim the gospel at home and abroad.

Strongly evangelical and dedicated to Christ, as well as culturally matured and well-trained, these representatives of BJU have fulfilled the ideal of its founder. They are "good show-window material for the Lord Jesus Christ."

The burden on the heart of a dedicated man of God has become the largest fundamental Christian school in the world.

Did you ever ask yourself why Jesus needs a show-window?

And that’s the end of that article. I tacked on the little tiny Ensemble blurb at the end.

Ensembles Give 300 Programs

Four Bob Jones University musical ensembles traveled approximately 50,000 miles and conducted more than 300 religious services during their 12-week tour throughout the United States last summer.

A mixed quartet traveled in the Southern states. A brass trio toured the eastern states. Male quartets conducted services in the Western states and throughout the Central states.

Many of the services last summer were held in churches where other groups have appeared previously, although the members of the ensembles vary from year to year. A number of first-time appearances a re scheduled each summer.

The 22 young people in the ensembles came from 12 different states.

David Friberg and John Matzko were part of one Ensemble that summer.

Here’s the Southeast Ensemble. Do you know any of those folks? (Dig that crest there. Wow!)

Don’t forget Delbert Fehsenfeld!!

How about these folks?

Barbie (PG): In the great 'beach-off' between the Matriarchy and the Patriarchy... the women win.

#onemannsmovies review of "Barbie" (2023). Wickedly funny feminist treatise that both amuses and entertains. 4/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “Barbie” (2023). Wow, what an obvious shot-in-the-arm the much advertised “Barbenheimer” weekend is going to be for UK cinemas. As one of the cleaners was saying to his colleague when I was coming out of my screening, “I’ve never seen it so busy”. Wonderful! I’ve yet to see “Oppenheimer”. But as for “Barbie”, its a funny, vibrantly colourful jaunt but with some…

[devilscreekballad]

Alright, I could use a sounding board (here and on the discord) cause I think trying to tackle the name hijinks code all alone with only basic help from the twine discord was... a mistake. (bite off more than you can chew... and then chew it >>)

So, below are all the possible combos for names (Mc, Charlie, Others and Horse) I can think off. Did I forget anything? Is something doubled when it shouldn't be? Also spoilers for which names net you special text

MC can share the following names with NPCs:

For Charlie:

Charlie, Charley, Charly, Charles, Charli, Charlee, Charleigh as First or Nickname, First Name not in Combo with Mulligan or Mullygan. E.G. 'Charly Mullygan' is not possible, but 'Charlotte 'Charly' Mulligan' is.

Mulligan or Mullygan for Nickname or Last Name. Restrictions similar to the above, also not as First Name.

TO DO: Charlie, Charley, Charly, Charles, Charli, Charlee, Charleigh as Last Name, Restrictions pending.

Others:

First name and Nickname can be identical/similar to NPC names, but not in combo with Last Names.

Current list (copied from twine):

First/Nick

"tommy", "tommie", "tomas", "thomas", "tom", "thom", "sean", "seán", "shawn", "shaun", "quinn", "quin", "giles", "gyles", "florence", "robert", "ada", "tess", "therese", "finley", "finn", "lien", "lian", "leanne", "liane", "lianne", "josephine", "josie", "josy", "josefine", "josey", "josee", "josée"

Last/Nick

"burke", "burg", "bourke", "o'brian", "o'bryan", "o'brien", "o'briain", "quinn", "quin", "o'reilly", "o'reileigh", "o'riley", "giles", "gyles", "florence", "robert", "ada", "tess", "therese", "finley", "finn", "meadow", "meadows", "mckee", "mcgee", "magee", "mckey", "mackee", "macgee", "mackey"

Meadows/Meadows will lead to Mrs Meadows addressing you as Fleabite.

Certain RDR2, TOH and DbD names will also net you bonus bits and bobs.

Need to add the sheriff to the lists?

Combos for your horse (all overlaps net an achievement):

MC, Charlie and Horse share a name (all varieties of Charlie and/or Mulligan)

Charlie and Horse share a name (doesn't have to be the same)

Horse and Mc share a name

Mc and horse share a name along with an npc (e.g if Mc and Horse are called a variety of Tommy).

Horse can be named Horse.

Horse cannot be named "wicklow", "bullsnot", "caboose", "cahoots".

That's what I have so far. does this sound right, does this make sense, did i overlook something?

For all the snarky cleverness of its screenplay, the brightness of its performances, and the liveliness of its direction, what is Barbie if not a 114-minute image ad for Mattel, Inc.? The movie allows the toymaker to look like a good sport by acknowledging its oft-criticized influence on young girls and its marketing mistakes, and by letting its management be portrayed as clueless males, with its CEO played by the master of cluelessness, Will Ferrell, while still raking in more money than ever. It's a masterpiece of corporate self-justification. The points the movie makes about the Barbie phenomenon (which became an even bigger phenomenon when its release date coincided with another blockbuster, resulting in the "Barbenheimer" meme), couldn't have been made without the participation of Mattel. Sure, you could make a movie satirizing the toy business, focusing on a girl doll laden with separately purchased accessory toys. You could call the doll something like Mitzi and give her a boyfriend called Bob, and you could call the company Rattel or Battel, and you could score all the same points with almost the same script and the same cast. But it wouldn't have the same sharply real edge. This is a movie that future analysts of American society in the 21st century are going to come back to when they examine childhood and capitalism and the role of the sexes in the year 2023. The story the movie tells is essentially the same as that of another toy that comes to life, Pinocchio. Except that when Pinocchio became a real boy, I'm pretty sure that he ran out to play. If Ken had been the one to become real, he probably would go out to shoot hoops or see his mates at the bar. When Barbie becomes a real woman, the first thing she does is visit a gynecologist. It's an ending that sums up the film's view of what it means to be a woman today.
