Another old Hollywood actress that gives me strong Meg Giry vibes is Judy Holliday - especially in Bells Are Ringing.

I LOVE JUDY HOLLIDAY SO MUCH

I'm in the beginning stages of drafting a fic where films develop in the Phantom timeline about a thousand times more quickly than in reality, and everyone is wondering who will be the first great diva of the screen, Christine or Carlotta...and then suddenly dark horse Meg is singled out from the movie chorus and it's her the camera and public ultimately fall in love with.

And that is exactly what Judy Holliday did to Bette Davis and Anne Baxter at the 1952 Oscars: the actress playing a ditzy blonde trying to better herself in a romantic comedy beats the two competing divas from the same drama. I love that shit.

Urban Legends: Final Cut (2000)

In today's review, I find that the next urban legend may lie in the cut. As I attempt a #positive review of the 2000 sequel Urban Legends: Final Cut #JenniferMorrison #MatthewDavis #HartBochner #LorettaDevine #JosephLawrence #EvaMendes #JessicaCauffiel

What is art, but a reflection, of our experiences, our impressions, our tastes, and what came before us? Filtered through our perceptions, the same facts could have wildly different interpretations, like a game of Telephone, hearsay, or even an urban legend. In 2000, a film about making a film about urban legends became the familiar lurking ground for a slasher film, in Urban Legends: Final…

Books I’ve Read In 2022

This year I read the average amount of books I usually do. I was so touched to read my first book with a LGBTQ+ protagonist. It's embarrassing that it took my library so long to provide access to characters/books connected to the LGBTQ+ community.

But yeah this year was amazing for inclusivity. Most of the books had main characters from the Black community and the LGBTQ+ community.

1. Ariah - B. R. Sanders

A touching LGBTQ+ fantasy that reflects our real life society issues and fantastical issues while displaying a collection of identities.

2. Black Leopard, Red Wolf - Marlon James

This is an amazing Afrocentric fantasy book. Never before have I read a fantasy that focused on Africa instead of the typical European medieval setting with a LGBTQ+ protagonist.

It's written well but a lot of parts were tough to read because they were so disturbing but if you have the guts to read past those parts then its an amazing read that I couldn't put down.

3. Hollow Kingdom - Kira Jane Buxton

Fun! Couldn't put this book down. Love reading books with animal protagonist.

4. The Good Luck Girls - Charlotte Nicole Davis

Thrilling fantasy book with a Black female lead and LGBTQ+ representation.

5. Under the Pendulum Sun : a novel of the Fae - Jeannette Ng

6. Into the Drowning Deep - Mira Grant

A Tense horror/Sci-Fi book with a LGBTQ+ lead protagonist. I also appreciate the X-Men references that are peppered throughout the book.

7. A Gathering of Old Men - Ernest J. Gaines

A book similar to "To Kill A Mocking Bird" that brought out so many emotions. Mostly of rage and deep sadness. Excellent book but definitely hard to read sometimes. I loved it so much though and I'm actually planning on watching the movie now.

8. Lord of the White Hell, Book 1 - Ginn Hale

Another LGBTQ+ lead book in the fantasy genre that takes place at an academy. Loved this book and I'm so excited to read part 2.

9. X-men Chaos Engine: Doctor Doom

10. X-men Chaos Engine: Magneto

11. X-men Chaos Engine: Red Skull

Steven A. Roman

Psylocke is the main character in this trilogy! Nuff said! Plus, they're one of the best X-Men books I've ever read. I must confess this is my second round of reading them and I don't usually read books more than once in my life.

[mariocki]

The Fiend (Beware My Brethren, 1972)

"Say your sins aloud. He needs to hear them."

"I can't... please don't make me, please don't make me?"

"Say them. Say them!"

[qqueenofhades]

top ten non-fiction (general) books and top ten history books?

Naturally, whenever I volunteer to talk about books, I completely forget everything I have ever read, but we'll try to overcome this. Since it is impossible for me to pick them from all-time, I'll do this list from what I have recently read and enjoyed, including both nonfiction and history specifically since most of these fit that bill somehow:

Society of the Snow by Pablo Vierci. Just finished this last night, and it's the source material for the Netflix film of the same name, of the 1972 plane crash of an Uruguayan rugby team in the Andes and their incredible survival odyssey. If you've seen the film, you know how harrowing and also incredibly moving it is.

Pretty much anything by David Grann, including The Wager, Killers of the Flower Moon, Lost City of Z, etc. The Wager is his newest one, though people may have heard of Killers of the Flower Moon, but they're all good. He's up there with Erik Larson as one of my favorite writers of utterly gripping and novelistic nonfiction.

Speaking of Erik Larson: pretty much anything by, including Dead Wake, The Splendid and the Vile, In the Garden of Beasts, etc. Most people will have heard of and/or read Devil in the White City, but his other stuff is equally good. His newest, The Demon of Unrest, is a bit slower than some of the others IMHO, but it's also about the beginning of the Civil War and the crisis at Fort Sumter and is important reading in our current perilous moment.

Challenger: A True Story of Heroism and Disaster on the Edge of Space by Adam Higginbotham. A forensic and incredibly detailed history of the Challenger space shuttle disaster in 1986.

A Travel Guide to the Middle Ages, by Anthony Bale. This is an entertaining and readable introduction to mobility in the Middle Ages: who traveled, where they went, what they thought, and how they reacted and wrote about the other cultures they encountered, from both east and west. Definitely a good entry point for the layman who has heard the "medieval people never traveled/went anywhere" stereotype and knows it's wrong, but wants to know more HOW.

Into the Silence: Mallory, the Great War, and the Conquest of Everest by Wade Davis. Another incredibly detailed doorstopper history book that reads like a novel, exploring 19th-century British imperialism in Asia, the race to climb Mount Everest, the Great War, and more.

Emperor of Rome and SPQR by Mary Beard. These are both incredibly accessible starting points for studying Rome, written by a renowned classicist with a knack for making her historical material and concepts easy to understand and entertaining. Don't be put off by the length of either of these, as they read easily.

The Wide Wide Sea and The Kingdom of Ice by Hampton Sides. The former is his newest book, about the last voyage of Captain Cook, and the latter is my favorite of his other books, about the 19th-century USS Jeannette polar expedition. He is a writer of incredible skill, thoughtfulness, and detail in handling subjects of empire, exploration, colonialism, maritime history, and adventure.

Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty, by Patrick Raddon O'Keefe. A compelling, disturbing, mesmerizing, and infuriating account of the Sackler family, the creation of OxyContin, and the opioid epidemic in America.

Master Slave Husband Wife, by Ilyon Woo. Now, this one is a bit cheating since I haven't actually read it yet (it's on hold at the library), but it's won the Pulitzer Prize for history so I'm fairly sure it's going to be good. It's about 19th century slaves-turned-abolitionists William and Ellen Craft and their race- and gender-bending journey to freedom and anti-slavery activism.

[doctorwhatpodcast]

Will we ever stop calling the Tenth Doctor a slut? Unlikely. In this episode, we thank God "School Reunion" wasn't written by Russell T. Davies, share some exciting news about the podcast, and discuss Jeannette's out-of-body experience meeting David Tennant.

We Know The Price We Pay

What do you do when you have no choice but to leave the place you called your safe haven, your home? Desperate for answers, needing to know where her father went and why, after being saved from death by the woman she loves and never wanted to leave, all Annette Davis knows is she's alone and her father disappeared. When she finds the woman who knew him best soon after leaving, she becomes faced with a painful choice: give up her freedom to the Brotherhood so they can find her father or continue to wander aimlessly and hopelessly. But, not even in her worst nightmares, could she have imagined what the consequences of giving up her freedom to the Brotherhood would mean, or what she would go on to lose as a war rages on, a war to try and save the people of the former US Capital from the tyrannical Enclave.

I’m not including it here cause I don’t want to accidentally forget a trigger and then lead someone astray* enjoy!

- the “my brilliant friend” series by Elena Ferrante (aka the Neapolitan novels) literally the greatest series ever written and I will die on that hill. I would recommend these to everyone if I could

- my sister’s keeper by Jodi picoult (another absolute favorite until I die, I’m currently in the process of re-reading it for like the 4th time lmao)

- the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

- Between shades of gray by ruta Sepetys

- Night by Elie Wiesel

- The Yellow wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Little podcast snippet where we call the 9th doctor a slut (complimentary)

In this episode, the Doctor, Rose, and Adam travel to the future and….stuff happens? Humanity is threatened by a screaming, fanged blob named Max and…Shaun of the Dead? Sara and Jeannette shit on Adam and try to piece together what the hell was going through Russell T Davies’s head when he wrote this.
