Appuldurcombe House
Hi guys!!
I'm sharing Appuldurcombe House (abandoned/in ruins). This is the 20th building for my English Collection.
I decorated most of the house ground floor, for reference.
History of the house: 
Appuldurcombe House  is the shell of a large 18th-century English Baroque country house of the Worsley family. The house is situated near to Wroxall on the Isle of Wight, England. It is now managed by English Heritage and is open to the public. A small part of the 300-acre (1.2 km2; 0.47 sq mi) estate that once surrounded it is still intact, but other features of the estate are still visible in the surrounding farmland and nearby village of Wroxall, including the entrance to the park, the Freemantle Gate, now used only by farm animals and pedestrians.
Appuldurcombe began as a priory in 1100. It became a convent, then the Elizabethan home of the Leigh family. The large Tudor mansion was bequeathed in 1690 to Sir Robert Worsley, 4th Baronet, who began planning a suitable replacement.
The present house was begun in 1702. The architect was John James. Sir Robert never saw the house fully completed. He died on 29 July 1747; in his memory a monument was erected overlooking the house on Stenbury Down.
The house was greatly extended in the 1770s by his great-nephew Sir Richard Worsley, 7th Baronet Worsley of Appuldurcombe.
Worsley had left the estate saddled with heavy debts, but Appuldurcombe passed to his niece, Henrietta Anna Maria Charlotte (daughter of John Bridgeman Simpson). She married the Hon. Charles Anderson-Pelham, later first Earl of Yarborough, in 1806. The founder of the Royal Yacht Squadron at Cowes, he made few changes to the house and was quite happy to retain the property as a convenient base for his sailing activities.
Appuldurcombe House circa 1910
In 1855 the estate was sold. An unsuccessful business venture ran Appuldurcombe as a hotel, but with its failure, the house was then leased as Dr Pound's Academy for young gentlemen.

The house was inhabited in 1901–1907 by a hundred Benedictine monks who had been exiled from Solesmes Abbey in France and were shortly to settle at Quarr Abbey on the Isle of Wight.
Although the house is now mainly a shell, its front section has been re-roofed and glazed, and a small part of the interior recreated. The house has become well known as one of the supposedly most haunted places on the island.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This house fits a 64X64  lot, but it coulf fit a 50x50 too.
I only decorated some of the important rooms. All the rest of the house is up to your taste to decor.
Hope you like it.

Post 1146
Brett D Pelham, Florida inmate G40742, born 2002, incarceration intake October 2020 at age 18, scheduled for release February 2034
Homicide-Negligent Vehicular Manslaughter
In January 2020, Brett Pelham pleaded guilty to two counts for the crash that killed Jill Mandeville, 33, in Cape Coral in 2018. Pelham, then 16, was skipping school, driving 86 mph through a residential community and ran a stop sign before striking Mandeville's car, killing her instantly.
While Pelham's defense attorney, had asked for nine years in prison when Pelham pleaded guilty, at the sentencing hearing in July 2020 he asked for as little as six months in a juvenile rehabilitation center. The family of Jill Mandeville hoped for 25 years. 
The defense attorney also said the two charges, vehicular homicide and driving without a license causing death, amounted to double jeopardy. The judge amended the lesser charge to driving without a license, a 60-day misdemeanor. 
Pelham was sentenced to a 15-year sentence and the Mandeville family said that they were pleased with the term.
Co-workers, friends, ministers and relatives wrote 55 individual letters to the Judge, telling him just how important Jill was to them. With the help of Mother's Against Drunken Driving supporters, the family was successful in persuading the court to have all the letter read out loud into the court record.
The defense attorney had three people testify on Pelham's behalf, hoping to get the minimum penalty: a psychologist, a case worker in the juvenile justice system, and Jill Mandeville's mother's half-sister, Elizabeth "Jo" McNurlan, of Tampa.
McNurlan said she and Pelham had exchanged letters while he's been in jail. She said by giving Pelham a prison sentence, the world will have lost "a second person who doesn't deserve to be lost. "We can’t help Jill, but we can help Brett," she said.
Dr. Stephen Bloomfield testified that Pelham's brain wasn't done growing and adolescent brains aren't like adults.  The defense asked the judge to accept Bloomfield's findings.
"One of the biggest pieces of information that we can’t overstate is that Brett was 16 when this happened," he said. "He was a child. Since he was a child, he should not be sentenced as an adult to adult prison."  
On rebuttal, the prosecuting attorney told the judge that he shouldn't treat Pelham lightly. "You don’t get a pass because you are a juvenile for killing," the prosecuting attorney said. "The state wants you to send him to prison."
When the judge announced the sentence, Pelham's mother, Courtney Skipper, let out a sob, yelling "oh my, God, no" while leaping to her feet. She yelled "I love you, I love you so much," while pointing at Pelham before running from the courtroom. 
She soon returned to talk to Pelham, abruptly turning to leave and, looking at the family of Jill Mandeville, telling hem "You're all losers, too."
Pelham was the second teen sentenced in Jill Mandeville's death.
Morgan Skau of Cape Coral allowed Pelham to drive her father's truck, despite knowing Pelham did not have a driver's license.
With him in the truck, Skau was sentenced for her role in the crash to six months of probation, the Judge tellling her if he was allowed to give her jail time, he would have.

23rd December 1761 saw the death of Alastair Ruadh MacDonnell, the government spy in the Jacobite camp known as “Pickle”.
Born in around 1725, the eldest son of John Macdonell (d. 1754), chief of Glengarry. He was brought up as a Catholic and sent to France while still a boy, where he later became a captain in Lord John Drummond’s Scots Royals regiment in 1743, when the French were planning to invade England under pretext of restoring the Stuarts, of which Jacobite clans like the Glengarry Macdonells were of course in favour. While in France, he met Charles Edward Stuart (‘Bonnie Prince Charlie’), who had arrived from Rome to join the expedition, and stayed with him in Paris after the French abandoned the idea of an invasion. He visited Scotland early in 1745, in order to sound out political feeling there, but returned to France to warn that clan chiefs would support a rising only if backed by French money and arms. Unfortunately, by the time he reached France, Charles had sailed for Scotland to begin the 1745 Jacobite rising.
That autumn, Glengarry sailed with the Scots Royals to join the Jacobite army, but his ship was captured by the British navy off Deal and he was imprisoned in the Tower of London. On his release in 1747 he returned to Paris, where he lived in severe poverty, unable to obtain any financial help from either Charles Stuart or his father James (‘the Old Pretender’). On the death of Donald Cameron of Lochiel, who had become Colonel of the Scots-French Albany regiment in France after his escape from Scotland, Glengarry applied to succeed him in the command, but was turned down.
By the end of 1749 he was living in London, still extremely poor, and secretly trying to obtain permission to settle in Britain. A few months later, however, he reappeared, plainly now in possession of ample funds, and it is generally believed that he had somehow managed to steal some of the Loch Arkaig Treasure, gold sent from Spain to support the Jacobite rising in 1746, which had arrived too late to be of any use and had been concealed for the use of Jacobite supporters. Glengarry was accused of forging James Stuart’s signature to obtain this money.
In the 19th century, Scottish historian Andrew Lang was able to show that Glengarry was in fact a British agent, operating under the code name ‘Pickle’, and that he had been largely responsible for the betrayal of the Jacobite Elibank plot in 1752 and the subsequent capture and execution of Dr Archibald Cameron, Lochiel’s brother, in 1753. The British government seems to have had Cameron executed on an old warrant instead of bringing him to trial in order to avoid exposing Glengarry. He continued to act as a spy until 1754, when his paymaster, Prime Minister Henry Pelham, died, and he succeeded as Glengarry chief on his father’s death in September of the same year. He never married, and on his death in Glengarry in 1761 was succeeded as chief by his nephew Donald.
It is likely that he was recruited as a spy during his imprisonment in the Tower of London, and that he accepted the job due to his poverty and a sense of disillusionment with the Stuarts. He may also have had a grudge against the Camerons, as his brother had been killed accidentally by a Cameron clansman at the battle of Falkirk. He was never exposed during his lifetime and his role as a spy was only revealed by Andrew Lang 150 years later, after extensive research.

Many moons ago you wrote the Crowley Emerald dress fic (My Life Is Very Lonely (For I Want You Only) ), there is a mention of Pelham cafe and the music played there, i loved that bit a lot, might i ask which kind of music again? I have forgotten ( :(
Hello, Eames! Oh, beloved Crowley in the Emerald Dress. How could I forget her? (Even if I've grown enough as a writer to shy away from rec'ing five year old works, here is My Life Is Very Lonely (For I Want You Only) for folk looking for context.
In the Pelham Cafe during the time that the fic takes place, they're going through some of Irving Berlin's gentler works—specifically "When I Lost You" which was written in Berlin's grief of losing his first love. But the fic title comes from the lyric in his "All Alone", which Berlin wrote for his second love when he was writing to her against her father's wishes for the match.
Some of the more upbeat works would be, as Berlin described them in his time, "street songs". Because of the culture surrounding him as he grew up. But it's also quite simply "ragtime". Berlin also wrote the famous "There's No Business Like Show Business" from Annie Get Your Gun, and also, of course, White Christmas.
I'd be remiss though not to point out that Irving Berlin wrote "Puttin' on the Ritz", which is in part why I chose him in particular for this musical venue, and then everything else spiraled from then.
TL;DR there's a focus on Irving Berlin's discography, but the general songs would have been ragtime bleeding into some softer ballads.

Given the number of actors from Downton Abbey who also had a part in Agatha Christie's Poirot, it's funny to imagine some alternate universe in which they are their Downton Abbey characters, but it also raises a lot of fuckery.
Lavinia Swire being the illegitimate child of Cora? Lord and Lady Sinderby both being crooks and blackmailers from completely different backgrounds (and different episodes)? Sir Philip Tapsell still being a doctor, but also a drug addict, while Lord Grantham becomes a valet and Mr Molesley is a police officer? THe Archbishop of York is a russian chess champion and Lord Merton is a gay photographer? Charles Blake becoming a theater actor? Queen Mary of Teck and Anthony Strallan being in love with each other? Lady Anstruther being an old flame of Hercule Poirot before marrying Lord Anstruther???
But then, the worst part is that there are some that could be canon compliant with Downton Abbey! Dr Ryder working as a waiter in a gentleman's club before becoming a doctor; The Adventure of the Cheap Flat being a glimpse into Lady Rosamund's married life with Marmaduke when they were just married; Elsie Hughes being a live-in nurse and maid at a grand estate before coming to work at Downton; Mrs Pelham militant for peace; Lord Aysgarth travelling to Egypt as a government official; Sir John Darnley dying alongside his wife after he sold the house...

you know what would be neat?
in a few years, a mini series (six episodes maybe, maybe less?) of Cobert.
New actors obviously, maybe just Rosamund Painswick taking the role of the younger Violet. Centered around Cora and Robert meeting, marrying despite Violet's disapproval, and Robert falling in love about "a year after the wedding". Rosamund marrying Marmaduke, the "rough diamond", who's the grandson of a manufacturer. Jarvis was always the previous lord grantham's man, not Robert's. Maybe see Robert with his very first dog (i could see Cora gifting one to him after all). Carson is a much younger valet or first footman. Elsie (Mrs Hughes) is hired as a maid. And, given the dates of the Boer Wars, it's highly possible we'd also get to see a young Mr Bates help Robert into the train leading to war while Cora is there with toddler Mary and babies Edith and Sybil to see him off.
Inspired by the fic I read yesterday, we could also have the whole cast of the first season come together again and act out Hercule Poirot stories since it happens around the same time anyway. THe Kenneth Branagh adaptations are awful so might as well fill the niche.
And then, for, idk, the 10 years of the second movie? BAM!
Downton Abbey: Part II.
Six seasons and two movies about George Crawley and his cousins' coming of age in a Great Britain at the edge of a war. Downton Abbey serving as a home for kids sent to the countryside to escape the war. Johnny Bates and Caroline Talbot go to the movies together to watch an Errol Flynn, but they're what, 15? and he kisses her on the cheek but it never goes anywhere and then thanks to a retiring Dr Clarkson he gets an internship and starts training in medicine. Freddie Moorsum, the new doctor of Downton, tries to claim the abbey as he is convinced that he is the son of Robert, since his mother had an affair with Lord Grantham when she was working here as a maid, had to give her notice halfway through, and Lord Grantham had not only paid for this studies but written to the headmaster of Ripon Grammar to get him accepted in. Robert denies everything but later admits to Cora in private (because I'm salty that she never knew), Freddie is ridiculed and then realizes the dates don't add up, after the war Johnny comes back from school as a doctor but he's too late, Caroline is getting married. George is in conflict with his mother over the girl he chose to marry, Sybbie was in France when it was invaded and now they're all worried for her, Marigold falls in love with a guy who belongs to the wrong political party (depending on the time, either a liberal or downright a fascist of britain). Violet Branson, or whatever the name of baby branson is, falls in love with Peter Pelham (they're not technically related except through Maud Bagshaw) but the family doesn't approve. Henry and Mary have an awful argument and he goes to stay at his club for a few days. He dies in the Blitz and soon after comes a girl with a baby saying he's named Talbot. They later discover Henry didn't cheat on Mary but this girl thought the son in law of the earl of grantham was his heir (infos dating back to Matthew) and wanted to hijack the inheritence so when she learned he had died in London she decided to abduct a kid the appropriate age from an orphanage and roll with it. Sort of a Peter Gordon situation but with a satisfying end.
Not every series needs to keep going forever, not every movie needs a reboot, remake, or "20years later with their kids" sequel, but I think if a series lends itself to the thing it's Downton Abbey.

Barbara Bodichon, Barbara Leigh Smith (1827-1891) pintora y educadora inglesa.
Nació en Whatlington. Hija de Anne Longden, una sombrerera de Alfreton, Derbyshire y un político Whig, Benjamin "Ben" Leigh Smith, el único hijo del abolicionista radical William Smith. Sus padres no se casaron y ella era la mayor de cinco hijos de la pareja.
Tumblr media
La casa de Benjamin Leigh Smith estaba en Marylebone, Londres, pero a partir de 1816 heredó y compró propiedades cerca de Hastings : Brown's Farm cerca de Robertsbridge, con una casa existente construida alrededor de 1700, y Crowham Manor, Westfield, que incluía 200 acres.
Aunque era miembro de la nobleza terrateniente, Smith tenía opiniones radicales. Era un disidente, un unitario, partidario del libre comercio y benefactor de los pobres. En 1826 asumió los gastos de construcción de una escuela para los pobres del centro de la ciudad, y pagó un centavo a la semana para cubrir las matrículas de cada niño, la misma cantidad que pagaban sus padres.
Tumblr media
Smith conoció a Anne Longden mientras visitaba a su hermana en Derbyshire. Ella quedó embarazada de él y él la llevó al sur de Inglaterra, alojándola en una cabaña alquilada en Whatlington, cerca de Battle, East Sussex, como "Mrs Leigh", el apellido de los parientes de Ben Smith en la Isla de Wight.
Tumblr media
El nacimiento de Bárbara provocó un escándalo, ya que la pareja no se casó. Smith viajó desde Brown's Farm para visitarlos diariamente y, al cabo de ocho semanas, Anne volvió a quedar embarazada. Cuando nació su hijo Ben , los cuatro se fueron a Estados Unidos a pasar dos años, durante los cuales concibieron otro hijo.
Tumblr media
A su regreso a Sussex, vivieron abiertamente juntos en Brown's y tuvieron dos hijos más. Después del nacimiento de este último en 1833, Ana enfermó de tuberculosis. Smith alquiló 9 Pelham Crescent, Hastings, que daba al mar, cuyas propiedades saludables eran muy apreciadas en ese momento. Se contrató a una mujer local, Hannah Walker, para cuidar a los niños. Anne no se recuperó y Smith la llevó a Ryde , Isla de Wight, donde murió en 1834.
Tumblr media
Smith, inusualmente para la época, envió a todos sus hijos a la escuela local para aprender junto a los niños de clase trabajadora, en lugar de enviar a los varones mayores a un internado o a una escuela diurna de élite. Más tarde compartió dotaciones financieras por igual con todos los niños, tanto hombres como mujeres, dando a cada uno un ingreso de £ 300 por año desde la mayoría de edad (21).
Tumblr media
Desde el principio, Barbara mostró un fuerte carácter y una enorme simpatía que la llevarían a ganarse un lugar destacado entre filántropos y trabajadores sociales. Un grupo de amigas y ella comenzaron a reunirse regularmente hacia 1850 en Langham Place (Londres) para debatir sobre los derechos de las mujeres, y empezaron a ser conocidas como "The Ladies of Langham Place". Este se convirtió en uno de los primeros movimientos organizados de mujeres en Gran Bretaña. Persiguieron con tesón muchas causas, entre ellas su Comité de Propiedad de las Mujeres Casadas. En 1854, Barbara publicó su Resumen Breve de las Leyes de Inglaterra relativas a las Mujeres, que ayudó a promover la aprobación del Decreto de 1882 de Propiedad de las Mujeres Casadas. Durante este periodo se hizo amiga íntima de la artista Anna Mary Howitt, para quien posó en varias ocasiones.
En 1857 se casó con un eminente médico francés, el Dr. Eugène Bodichon, y a pesar de pasar mucho tiempo en Argel, continuó dirigiendo los movimientos que había iniciado en nombre de las mujeres inglesas.
En 1858 fundó el English Women's Journal, una publicación periódica para hablar del empleo y de los asuntos de igualdad directamente relacionados con las mujeres, en particular del trabajo industrial manual o intelectual, el aumento de oportunidades de empleo, y la reforma de las leyes relacionadas con los sexos.
En 1866 en cooperación con Emily Davies ideó un sistema para ampliar la educación universitaria y hacerla llegar a las mujeres. El primer pequeño experimento del sistema en Hitchin llevó a la creación en 1869 del primer college residencial para mujeres de Inglaterra, el Girton College de la Universidad de Cambridge, al que Madame Bodichon dedicó generosamente gran parte de su tiempo y su dinero.
Barbara era unitaria, y escribió sobre Theodore Parker: Rogaba al Creador, la Madre infinita de todos nosotros (siempre utilizando Madre en vez de Padre en esta oración). De todas las plegarias que escuché en mi vida, era la que verdaderamente llegaba a mi alma. (Lingwood, 2008)
Pese a toda su labor como benefactora, también encontró tiempo para la vida social y para su arte favorito, la pintura. Estudió con William Holman Hunt. Sus acuarelas, expuestas en el Salón, la Royal Academy y otros lugares, mostraban gran originalidad y talento, y fueron admiradas por Corot y Daubigny. Su salón literario de Londres congregó a muchas de las celebridades literarias y artísticas de su tiempo. Fue íntima amiga de George Eliot, y según ella, la primera en reconocer la autoría de su novela Adam Bede.
Madame Bodichon murió en Robertsbridge, Sussex, el 11 de junio de 1891.
Le ponemos cara con este retrato de Emily Mary Osborn.

Peggy Hilliard Nabors, 88, died peacefully in her sleep on July 10, 2023.
Peggy was born to Price and Annie Lou Hilliard in Raleigh, North Carolina. Upon graduating from Bob Jones University, she began teaching high school in Portsmouth, Virginia. One Sunday morning a tall, handsome visitor walked into church carrying a Bible. Peggy and her roommate invited this young Tennessean to their apartment for a home cooked meal. That lunch must have been good, because Peggy cooked for David for the next 49 years.
After moving to Chattanooga as a newlywed, Peggy taught at Lakeside Elementary until she retired from teaching to be a stay-at-home mother. When David retired, together they traveled and lived in Eastern Europe to share the good news of Jesus with teachers through the International School Project. Following David's death, Peggy stayed active spending time with family, friends and neighbors. She was involved at her church, North Shore Fellowship, mentoring young moms. Her Thursday morning Ladies' Bible Study was the highlight of her week…studying God's word with precious friends.
Peggy was preceded in death by her parents, her husband David Nabors, and sister Virginia Sue Jones. She is survived by her children: Robbin Henon (Kirk), Stephen Nabors (Billenda), and Joseph Nabors (Marti). Grandchildren: Teal Nabors Gibson (Zane), Dr. Macall Nabors Wirz (Jacob), Kai Nabors, Blake Sparks, Patrick Sparks (Mariana), Amber Barnes (Josh), Audra Guerrero (Keith Franzen), and Andrew Guerrero. Great grandchildren: Hutch Gibson, Ivan Sparks, Patrick Sparks, Addie Sparks, Emma Sparks, Jensen Barnes, Hazel Barnes and Lotus Guerrero. Sisters-in-law Aprille Quinn, Jo Pelham, and a bevy of nieces and nephews.
A memorial service will be at 11:00 am on Saturday, July 22, 2023 in the funeral home chapel of Hamilton Funeral Home. The family will receive friends from 4:00 pm until 7:00 pm on Friday, July 21, 2023 and from 9:30 am until time of service Saturday at the funeral home.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to The Mary Ellen Locher Foundation (melfoundation.org) or North Shore Fellowship (nsfellowship.org)
The family thanks Everlan of Hixson, Dominion Senior Living, and Hearth Hospice for the excellent, loving care you gave to Peggy.

Medic fav movies: -A zed and two noughts -dr mabuse the gambler + the testament of dr mabuse. And Metropolis while we're at it. Easy to say but. I do think he has a healthy appreciation for fritz lang -On a similar note: loves the original cabinet of dr caligari and also the weird 60s remake of it that you can't find anywhere with equal fervor -Experiment in terror -Decoder (1984) like as in the throbbing gristle movie -World on a wire Knowledgeable on film and has interests that range far and wide but is generally pretty reserved regarding it. Will watch all sorts of shit with Heavy and occasionally Engineer when the time is right but I think for the most part when the suggestion to watch a movie comes up he just tries to convince everyone to watch like pimple popping compilations
Heavy fav movies: -Also really easy to say but Stalker bc cmon. And Mirror, Solaris, Andrei Rublev, etc -The Ascent (1977) -Welcome or no trespassing (1964). -Underground (1995) -The like 4 different war and peace movies by sergey bondarchuk -And yknow what I think he'd fucking love Farewell my concubine and I feel very assured in this
Spy fav movies: -Purple Noon -- I think he has reasonably seen/read and enjoyed other works related to tom ripley but this is the only one I'm certain about. Like cmon now. -The red shoes -The discreet charm of the bourgeoisie LOL -Les Vampires AND Irma Vep -General hitchcock fan and I think his fav movie of his is Rope. Like. Ok. I'm sorry. But it has to be this way -The taking of pelham 123 the seventies one -Fucking reservoir dogs, somehow. Bonds with scout over this He WILL look down on everyone else for their choices of favorite Hitchcock movies even if he likes them too (he does, generally) because he thinks everyone else's reasons for liking what they do are worse than his. gets really distracted and upset thinking about this
Scout fav movies: -DRIVE -PULP FICTION -FIGHT CLUB -RESERVOIR DOGS AGAIN -AMERICAN PSYCHO -SHAUN OF THE DEAD (bonds with Spy over this one too. Spy goes like ''the editing of this is nauseating and the characters are unpleasant'' but as they continue watching they both get like, really sad and guilty. spy moreso. i havent seen shaun of the dead)
Demoman: I think that at some point when he was a TEEN his mom was like. Cmon lad. You haven't got any hobbies. You're wasting away here. So he found time in between his like 3-5 jobs to take a theater class at a high school he did not go to and they just let him until his CURSED EYE started wreaking havoc on the place. He never pursued his dreams of theater again but I imagine he loves wtaching like, shakespeare adaption movies and thinking about how he would have done a better job. -likes chimes at midnight, othello, and hamlet from orson welles -ran+othello+the bad sleep well -Conversely also really fucking loves like. Steel magnolias. and fried green tomatoes and shit -All time favorite movie is Muriel's Wedding for some reason
Sniper: -Genuinely, earnestly. Loves crocodile dundee with all his heart. And at some point someone else who he'd been in a spat with puts it on in hopes it would offend him but it makes him cry. from joy. because he loves it -Similar feelings towards mad max. watches it and goes like. oh god. this is just like my life -Fav hitchcock is vertigo -Fistful of dollars trilogy (bonds with engie over this) + once upon a time in the west -Fucking. Butch cassidy and the sundance kid LOL -Seven samurai and also like literally every movie that could be considered a remake of it in some form regardless of quality -Night/Dawn/Day of the dead. AND return of the living dead and furthermore the completely unrelated City of the living dead
Engineer movies: -Shares in the sergio leone appreciation with sniper. Likes once upon a time in america, but not once upon a time in the west, which is the opposite of how sniper feels -Touch of evil -One flew over the cuckoo's nest -My darling clementine -David and lisa -The swimmer
Soldier owns two movies, which are: -A version of American Sniper cut down to like 20 minutes and dubbed over with weird fucked up voices but he thinks it's the original and he loves it. He thinks it's beautiful and it makes him cry -An incomplete VHS recording of dr strangelove including television commercials that just has clips from the very beginning and end. This one also makes him cry
Pyro: Has seen every single movie mentioned here and thinks they are all beautiful. Also has a tape of the wicker man that is in such horrendous quality that it's rendered completely unintelligible to anyone else. They like to watch the end
Not meant to be a modern setting or anything I'm just choosing to believe that the existence of australium led to a domino effect ending with every single movie on this list that otherwise wouldn't exist yet being made in the 1960s with no changes. And VHS tapes and DVDs are both part of a lucrative enterprise that will never die

Bill Gates expuso cómo ganó cientos de millones con la estafa de COVID en una publicación viral en las redes sociales
Una publicación viral en las redes sociales que expone cuántos millones de dólares ganó Bill Gates con la pandemia de Covid fue vista más de dos millones de veces en solo 48 horas.
Tumblr media
Pelham, cuenta de X, compartió la publicación y decía: “Bill Gates compró acciones de BioNTech (socio de Pfizer para sus inyecciones de ARNm de Covid) en septiembre de 2019… apenas unos meses antes de que se anunciara la pandemia…”
"Gates compró 1.038.674 acciones a un precio previo a la oferta pública de 18,10 dólares por acción…", explicó el usuario de X.
Infowars.com informa: La publicación continúa: “Gates se deshizo de sus acciones en noviembre de 2021 a un precio de venta promedio de 300 dólares por acción… Gates el mismo día dijo: 'Necesitamos una nueva forma de administrar las vacunas, porque las vacunas * no detuvo la transmisión*' a pesar de todas sus afirmaciones anteriores en sentido contrario. Es casi como si Gates supiera que se iba a lanzar Covid-19 y también supiera que las vacunas nunca fueron diseñadas para detener la transmisión”.
La publicación es precisa, como señaló Jordan Schachtel en enero cuando informó sobre presentaciones ante la SEC que mostraban que “las participaciones de la Fundación Gates en BioNTech pasaron de 1.038.674 acciones a 148.674 acciones en el transcurso del tercer trimestre de 2021, reduciendo la posición de Gates en el Fabricante de vacunas de ARNm con el 86 por ciento de las acciones que posee”.
"Como puede ver a continuación, Gates cronometró perfectamente el mercado y vendió las acciones durante el trimestre de mejor desempeño de BioNtech", señaló en el artículo junto con un gráfico.
En julio de 2022, el Dr. Joseph Mercola escribió un artículo exhaustivo explicando cómo Pfizer se benefició convenientemente de la pandemia de Covid.
Incluso NBC admitió en enero que la pandemia de Covid llevó los ingresos de Pfizer en 2022 a un récord de 100 mil millones de dólares.
Mire el video a continuación donde Alex Jones comparte un video del momento en que Bill Gates finalmente admitió que las inyecciones de coágulos no funcionan.

#HARPERSMOVIECOLLECTION
2023
I watched Death Line (AKA Raw Meat) (1972)
I've never seen this. It's a movie I should have seen by now. I've known about since I was a teenager, but just never had too much of an interest for whatever reason. It gets hyped up a lot and I suppose I was worried it wouldn't live up to the hype.
A feral man is kidnapping and eating people in London's subway system.
(FYI: There are two versions out there. The British uncut version which is under the title Death Line and the Censored American version called Raw Meat. I watched the Uncut)
The best Subway film of all time is, of course, The original Taking of Pelham 123. It's awesome, go watch it.
But, no matter what the movie is, I really enjoy a movie that has to do with subway tunnels. I suppose they scare me a bit. And the idea of a whole other world going on down there is pretty awesome to me. It's just a great setting for a film, whether it's being used for a heist or for more monstrous purposes.
First and foremost, Donald Pleasance is crushing it in this movie from moment one. The man who is best known as Dr. Loomis in the original Halloween franchise, had such a long and amazing career and deserves to be remembered fondly.
Christopher Lee is also in this movie and, if you like movies, you understand that he's a legend. He's not in it a lot though, so don't get your hopes up for him.
With these two great actors and a solid British supporting cast, it's David Ladd, the American Actor, who stands out as being awful. He's bringing C-movie acting skills to a movie where the rest of the cast is bringing their A-game.
The Movie is a horror film, but it's solidly funny. Pleasance brings a really great character that is short, unsocial and rude, but hilarious. The horror stuff doesn't suffer for the humor though. There's some pretty grisly stuff in here. Great corpse work from the effects department.
Its a B-movie plot that's elevated exponentially by it's performances, (Donald Pleasance is fucking great and I can't overstate that), it's fantastic sense of humor and a villain who is both creepy, gross and sympathetic.
I'm sorry I didn't watch this sooner. It's a fantastic horror movie that's just lots of fun to watch. Is it perfect? No, but it doesn't exactly need to be, because it overcomes its flaws in it's overall enjoyability. If you haven't seen it, I'd recommend it for sure.
