¡Oi! Spoilers, stavfel och alternativa fakta kan förekomma rakt föröver!

Ses tillsammans med @kulturdasset.

Berättandet börjar komma i gång, men känns fortfarande lite avslaget. Kanske är det jag som inte riktigt nås av den här delen av storyn? En hel del intressant kommer igång iaf, lite nyfiken är man på vad det är som vaknat i Harfoot-lägret, är det Sauron?

Scenerna ombord på flotten vet jag inte hur jag skall ställa mig till, än så länge vet jag inte om de tillfört så mycket mer än introducera oss till ännu en karaktär. En karaktär som kommer bli vital för Galadriels fortsätta äventyr/kamp mot ondskan verkar det som. Appropå ondska, kanske kan jag tycka att det hela utvecklingen är lite för abrupt här. Kungen ”belönar” Galadriel och hennes skvadron med att förvisa dem västerut, och i och med det så börjar orcer och allehanda ondskligheter röra på sig. Nog för att vi alla tenderar att se vad vi vill se (här Alvkungen att onskan är död, och Galadriel att den är närmare än någonsin sedan kriget) men är det kanske så att kungens envisa kungörelse att kriget låter hinta om att kungen kanske spelar för ett annat lag än det han förmodas spela för?

Scenerna med Durin är hur som helst något av avsnittets guldkorn. Gillar samspelet mellan Durin och hans fru och hur den sistnämnda går in och medlar för att läka vänskapen mellan Durin och Elrond. Appropå Elrond är jag lite nyfiken om det är just ringarna som han och Celebrimbor preppar för nu? Prinsessan Disas förklaring om när de sjunger för stenen fick mig att tänka på Sagan om Drakens Återkomst och ”sjunget trä”. Men det är ju allmänt känt att Robert Jordan inspirerades en hel del av just Sagan om Ringen.

Jag är fortfarande inte helt övertygad.

Jag skulle säga att det tar sig, men berättandet hoppar lite för mycket för sitt eget bästa. Det är inte så att jag har problem med att hänga med, utan alla dessa hopp blir frustrerande i längden. Lite som jag minns när jag läste Kampen om Järntronen[1] när det begav sig, man dröjer inte så länge vid karaktärerna att man hinner bry sig om dem.

Fotnoter.

Jag har bara läst första boken i George R. R. Martins fantasy-epos ”Sagan om Is och Eld”, första boken var uppdelad i två delar varvid andra delen hette ”Vargens Tid” och tillhör de sämre läsupplevelserna inom genren. Mina utgåvor är f.ö. daterade 1996 & 1997 och lästes däromkring.

When Will We See The Rings of Power? The Challenge With LotR on Streaming.

@edohotep shares his thoughts on #LotR #TheRingsofPower after giving it multiple watches, since one view is never enough! #fantasy #streaming #amazonprime

Spoiler Alert The only issue I have with Amazon committing to bring more Lord of the Rings to life concerns what parts of J. R. R. Tolkien’s appendices are key to the shaping of The Rings of Power? I appreciate the fact the X-Ray feature links to additional material to help folks understand the source, and if its supposed to segway to the films, its not teasing at anything yet!

 Lord Of The Rings: The Rings of Power. Global Fan Screening ( Episodes 1-2.)  Review/ Impressions 

More TV on the big screen please

We have arrived at a point in 2022 web blockbuster TV has so thoroughly eclipsed film as the avenue for truly immersive huge budget storytelling. The best of this material put a chunk of what is regularly on the big screen to shame. The antithesis of this ( certainly from a budget and scale perspective) is the arrival of amazons megabudget attempt to bring the Lord of the Rings to serialized…

These aren’t all necessarily “weirder than Gloyd” but fall into three rough categories which I’ve dubbed: “that’s got a nice ring to it”, “if I used this in a novel it would be considered too unrealistic” and “you’ve got 5 seconds to name a character that lives in 1920s Oklahoma, GO!”:

[love-studying58]

happy Masters of the Air release week. In honour of the series due to release on the 26th, I wanted to list a few faces we’ll be seeing throughout the series. I want to particularly note the crewmen of the 100th in hopes this makes sense to viewers who either a) didn’t have time to read any books based on the 100th bomb group, or b) want to read Masters of the Air by Donald L. Miller during/after the tv show aires. My lovely friend on tumblr @kylaym was happy to message me on instagram regarding who’s who for most of the 100th bomb group posts. She gets that everyone in uniform looks the same; same haircut, moustaches, masks, everywhere, etc. She mentioned it is always better to remember a bunch of lads as groups and crews than as individuals!

Here we gooo..

Colonel Neil “Chick” Harding

A West Point graduate and the school’s football coach prior to the war. Harding was a seasoned aviator who truly emulated much of the 100th’s attitude. He exhibited an appreciation for his crew’s mental and emotional well-being.

Major John C. “Bucky” Egan and Major Gale “Buck” Cleven

Two of the squadron commanders, Majors John “Bucky” Egan of the 418th Bomb Squadron and Gale “Buck” Cleven of the 350th, had piloting skills which matched their personalities. (Found top row 3rd and 4th members from left to right).

Captain John D. Brady

He served as a pilot in the 418th bomb squadron and was shot down during the mission to Munster on October 10th, 1943. (Shown here on the far left). He flew overseas in A/C #42-30071 “Skipper” as 1st Lt. Pilot. 2nd Lt’s being Lt. John L. Hoerr [Co-Pilot] and Lt. Harry Crosby [Group Navigator and Captain].

M/Sgt. Kenneth A. Lemmons

He served on the 351st Bomb Squadron and was one of the first crew chiefs assigned to the 100th Bomb Group. After being a part of the U.S. Air Force's ground crew, he was subsequently promoted to the position of flight chief. (Shown above in the front).

Harry H. Crosby

Harry served as a navigator in the 418th Bomb Squadron and later became Group Navigator for the Hundredth, however, his struggle with airsickness often hindered his ability to navigate. (Found above beside Brady on the right). Harry Crosby replaced Lt. Payne on the crew of Douglass.

Payne is found above on the right, beside Harry Crosby.

Lt. Howard B. “Hambone” Hamilton

He was a bombardier mostly known for flying with Brady’s crew.

On the October 10th Munster mission, crew #32 was led by Major John C. Egan as Co-Pilot. Near the initial point “Mlle Zig Zig” was hit by Flak, resulting in the following:

- Sgt Clanton passing away

- wounding Howard Hamilton and Roland Gangwer. (Both ended up spending a long time in the hospital).

- the surviving crew members bailed out but were taken prisoner.

Hamilton is seen above on the far left. Beside him on the left is Lt. James Douglass and Captain Frank Murphy.

Captain James Douglass

Served as a bombardier in the 418th Bomb Squadron with the Everett Blakely crew. (Seen above in the first picture beside Blakely).

Major Everett E. Blakely

Was a career officer of the United States Air Force. He was a highly decorated pilot of the B-17 bomber with the Bloody Hundredth Bombardment Group of the 8th Air Force. He is most commonly known for his crew’s plane “Just a Snappin”. On a mission to Bremen on October 8th, 1943, his plane was severely damaged by flak and enemy fighters. He later became the Group Training Officer (Shown above on the right and next to Major John Egan in the second picture above).

Blakely’s Crew:

Major John Kidd- Command Pilot

1st Lt. Everett Blakely- Pilot

2nd Lt. Charles Via- Formation Officer in the tail (SWA on the mission during Black Week)

1st Lt. Harry Crosby - Navigator

2nd Lt. James Douglass - Bombadier

T/Sgt. Edmund Forkner - Radio operator

S/Sgt. William McClelland - Ball Turret Gunner (WIA on the Black Week mission)

S/Sgt. Edward Yevich - Waist Gunner (WIA on the Black Week mission)

S/Sgt. Lyle Nord - Waist Gunner

S/Sgt. Lester Saunders - Tail Gunner (KIA on the Black Week mission)

Lt Roy Claytor

Roy Claytor was part of the 350th Squadron. Above, he may be flying as a command pilot in this mission or practice with the Claytor Crew.

He is seen above on the left, beside Cleven.

Major Robert 'Rosie' Rosenthal

Rosie joins the unit in late 1943. He becomes one of the 100th's most reliable pilots.

Rosenthal's Crew:

[Shown left to right; top row than bottom row]

Sgt. Loren Darling - Waist Gunner

Sgt. Michael V. Boccuzzi - Radio Operator/Gunner

Sgt. John H. Shaffer - Waist Gunner

Sgt. Clarence C. Hall - Top turret gunner/engineer

Sgt. William J. DeBlasio - Tail Gunner

Sgt. Ray H. Robinson - Ball Turret Gunner

Lt. Ronald C. Bailey - Navigator

Lt. Robert 'Rosie' Rosenthal - Pilot

Lt. Clifford J. Milburn - Bombardier

Lt. Winifred 'Pappy' Lewis - Copilot

Lt. Curtis Biddick

Lieutenant Curtis Biddick was known as a ‘hard luck’ pilot but was recognised as exceptionally expert and courageous. ‘Every time he went out something seemed to happen,’ said one of his buddies. On one raid he brought his plane back with 1,700 shell and bullet holes in it and two wounded men aboard.

He clashes due to his English colleagues embarking on night-time raids.

Richard Snyder

Biddick's co-pilot and was part of the 418th Bombardment Squadron.

Okay.... So I truly hope this helps going into Masters of the Air tomorrow. I can't wait to see all the bomber boys spread their wings and fly. This tv series is going to be an absolute wreck (in the best way possible). Thank you to everyone who enjoys my posts. Love y'all.

THIS DAY IN GAY HISTORY

based on: The White Crane Institute's 'Gay Wisdom', Gay Birthdays, Gay For Today, Famous GLBT, glbt-Gay Encylopedia, Today in Gay History, Wikipedia, and more … December 16

1899 – The English actor, playwright, and composer Noël Coward was born on this date (d.1973). Among his achievements, he received an Academy Certificate of Merit at the 1943 Academy Awards for "outstanding production achievement for his film In Which We Serve."

He was a valued friend of Laurence Olivier, Vivien Leigh, John Mills, Gene Tierney, Judy Garland, Elaine Stritch, Princess Margaret and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. He was a close friend of Ivor Novello and Winston Churchill.

Coward was Gay and never married, but he maintained close personal friendships with many women. These included actress and author Esmé Wynne-Tyson, his first collaborator and constant correspondent; the designer and lifelong friend Gladys Calthrop; secretary and close confidante Lorn Loraine; his muse, the gifted musical actress Gertrude Lawrence; actress Joyce Carey; compatriot of his middle period, the light comedy actress Judy Campbell; and (in the words of Cole Lesley) 'his loyal and lifelong amitié amoureuse', film star Marlene Dietrich. Coward refused to acknowledge his sexual orientation, wryly stating, "There is still a woman in Paddington Square who wants to marry me, and I don't want to disappoint her."

Coward's insights into the class system can be traced back to London life in World War I, when thousands of troops passed through the capital every day, and officers and other ranks met civilians in dozens of highly secret clubs.

He enjoyed a thirty-year relationship with the stage and film actor Graham Payn from the mid 40s until Coward's death. Payn later co-edited with Sheridan Morley the collection of his diaries, published in 1982. He was also connected to composer Ned Rorem, with details of their relationship published in Rorem's diaries. Claims that Coward had a 19-year relationship with Prince George, Duke of Kent, were strongly denied by Payn, who said that Coward always denied anything had happened between him and the Prince.

He was a product of his times (and his own imagination, to be sure) and exquisitely attuned to those times. From his youth Coward had a distaste for penetrative sex and held the modern gay scene in disdain. This disdain, we have to believe is merely a symptom of an era, rather than a matter of character, and something he would have rethought had he been born in another time. His evident innate sense of honor and what is right would have, one has to infer, brought him around.

He was the president of The Actors' Orphanage, an orphanage supported by the theatrical industry. In that capacity he befriended the young Peter Collinson, who was in the care of the orphanage, becoming Collinson's godfather and helping him get started in show business. Later when Collinson was a successful director he invited Coward to play a role in the film The Italian Job; Coward's lover Graham Payn also played a small role in the film.

Here's just a bit of Coward's wit:

Coward was a neighbour in Jamaica of James Bond's creator Ian Fleming and his wife Anne, the former Lady Rothermere. Coward was a witness at the Fleming's wedding and though he was very fond of both of them, the Flemings' marriage was not a happy one, and Noël eventually tired of their constant bickering, as recorded in his diaries. When the first film adaptation of a James Bond novel, Dr. No was being produced, Coward was approached for the role of the villain. He is said to have responded, "Doctor No? No. No. No.

"*

When speaking to Peter O'Toole about his performance in the movie Lawrence of Arabia, he said "If you'd been any prettier, it would have been 'Florence of Arabia'.

"*

When someone pointed out a rising young actor at a party with the words "Keir Dullea" Coward's instant reply was "Gone tomorrow."

The Papers of Noël Coward are held in the University of Birmingham Special Collections.

1923 – Gerald Glaskin (d.2000) was a Western Australian author. Although he won the Commonwealth Prize for Literature in 1955, his works were received more favourably in Europe than in Australia where he had virtually no public profile, and he lived mostly in Asia and later the Netherlands, until returning to Perth in 1968.

Glaskin's extensive time overseas may have been because of the oppressive Australian moral climate of the period against homosexuality. In 1961 he had been charged with indecent exposure (presumably while sexually cruising) on a Perth beach.

His published works were extensive. He wrote poetry, short stories, and novels. Some works also included issues of science fiction and new-age spiritual guidance related to the interpretation of dreams. He was also involved in the Fellowship of Australian Writers.

A resident of Cottesloe, he was enthusiastic for its beach environment. As a writer in Western Australia conditions were not always supportive of the profession.

Glaskin's novel A Waltz Through the Hills was made into a 1989 film of the same title.

The Christos Experiment (or Christos Phenomenon), a phenomenon discussed by several of Glaskin's books, is an Altered State of Consciousness that can produce extraordinarily vivid and realistic Out-of-Body Experiences, Past-Life Experiences and Other-Life Experiences.

His most commercially successful work was a novel about a homosexual love affair, No End To The Way (1965), published under the pseudonym Neville Jackson. Interviewed in later life about the novel, Glaskin said: "It was banned in Australia and the paperback publishers, Corgi, researched the Australian censorship laws, and discovered that the book could not be shipped to Australia. So they chartered planes and flew them in". It may have been inspired by his relationship with Leo van de Pas, whom he met in a gay bar in Amsterdam, and lived with in later life.

Glaskin was also silent financial partner in The Coffee Pot, a popular Perth meeting place for homosexuals, bohemians and students which was established in the 1950s by Dutch Indonesian migrants, and was then the city's only late night cafe.

1963 – Liu Bingjian, born in Anhui, is a Chinese film director who emerged on the cinema scene in the late 1990s with his LGBT-themed film Men and Women.

Originally trained as a painter, Liu attended the prestigious Beijing Film Academy where he studied cinematography. Upon graduation, he switched to directing and worked in television before making his first film Inkstone which failed to be screened either in China or abroad.

In 1999, he directed the underground LGBT film Men and Women. Though the film was banned in China, it was seen as a rare example of a Chinese film to treat homosexuality as an everyday occurrence.

Liu followed up Men and Women with Cry Woman in 2002.

Like many of his colleagues, Liu Bingjian emerged from the underground scene with 2004's state-approved Plastic Flowers, starring actress Liu Xiaoqing in her first role in over a decade. The film premiered at the 2004 Toronto International Film Festival.

1970 – Kyle Hawkins is the former head coach of the German National Men's U-19 lacrosse team, and former head coach of the University of Missouri Men's Lacrosse team.

In May 2006, he discussed his sexual orientation with several media outlets, including the New York Times and MSNBC.com after having revealed to the university and team that he was gay. In April 2007, the story again made media waves with an Associated Press story featured on MSNBC.com. Hawkins was named the first openly gay man coaching an intercollegiate men's team sport by ESPN.

1950 – A U.S. Senate committee makes public its report on "The Employment of Homosexuals and Other Sex Perverts." Asserting that homosexuals are a security risk not simply because they are liable to blackmail but also because homosexuality inevitably perverts "moral fibre," the report recommends stringent measures be taken to root all lesbians and gay men out of government. The federal government had covertly investigated employees' sexual orientation at the beginning of the Cold War. The report states since homosexuality is a mental illness, homosexuals "constitute security risks" to the nation because "those who engage in overt acts of perversion lack the emotional stability of normal persons."

Today's Gay Wisdom:

The Wit of Noël Coward:

I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.

I'm not a heavy drinker, I can sometimes go for hours without touching a drop.

I've sometimes thought of marrying - and then I've thought again.

It is discouraging how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit.

My body has certainly wandered a good deal, but I have an uneasy suspicion that my mind has not wandered enough.

People are wrong when they say opera is not what it used to be. It is what it used to be. That is what's wrong with it.

Wit ought to be a glorious treat like caviar; never spread it about like marmal

¡Oi! Spoilers, stavfel och alternativa fakta kan förekomma rakt föröver!

Så kom den så då till slut: seriefinalen. Och kanske är det här det bästa avsnittet i hela säsongen… Så lagom nu att bli intressant. Eller: nej jag överdriver en aning.

Man inleder med att försöka lura tittaren att alla spekulationer att meteoritmannen är Gandalf är fel. Det är det givetvis inte, men det är lite kuligt att se när Hårfotingarna lyckas befria meteoritmannen och de androgyna varelserna inser att de inte fått tag på sin store mästare.

Jag skall erkänna att även om jag var misstänksam mot Helbrand (som om han ständigt höll något hemligt) så var det lite av en överraskning att han var Sauron. Jag kan bara utgå från att han genomgick samma minnesförvirring som Meteoritmannen, och att han under en tid kanske till och med trodde han var söderns återvändande konung. (Och typ, det var han – men inte på det viset Galadriel väntade sig).

Överlevande från Númenor återvänder till ett land i sorg då den gamle kungen lämnat in. Det sista han säger är någon yrande profetia om att landet kommer gå under om de inte återvänder till de gamla sederna. Och minns jag inte fel så gick väl landet under? Visionerna Galadriel hade i Palantír:en visade att en tsunami sveper in över landet – något som då påminde mig om legenderna om Atlantis. Det känns som om serien inte är klar med folket från Númenor än.

Han har inte haft många scener i säsongen med alvernas högste kung är verkligen en karaktär, direkt otrevlig i de flesta av sina scener och jag börjar misstänka att det kanske finns mer än bara rent mjöl i hans påse. Själva smidandet av de tre ringarna är sällsamt odramatiskt. Men gillar att vi får reda på varför de tre ringarna ursprungligen smiddes.

Det här har varit en lång och tung säsong, där det varit svårt att se fram emot varje avsnitt. Berättarglädjen har helt enkelt inte funnits där, och Daniel Roman på WinterIsComing.com kanske sammanfattar serien bäst:

For my money, The Wheel of Time stands head and shoulders above The Rings of Power in this regard; in fact, I’d say that writing is The Rings of Power’s single biggest weakness, which is a dangerous fatal flaw for a show to have. It looks gorgeous, has solid actors and a beautiful musical score. But its first season has consistently felt like it was moving down a list of bulleted plot points, rather than diving deep into its characters and getting viewers invested the way great shows do. (Källa: winteriscoming.net)

Och jag håller med i mycket av vad han säger berättandet var en sammanställd checklista och berättarkonsten låg att dra på det i åtta avsnitt. Och allt förpackat med effekter, skådespelare och musik som berättandet egentligen inte förtjänade. Och då nämner jag ändå inte hoppen. Halva säsongen spenderades med maniskt hoppa runt mellan karaktärerna med samma snabbhet och grace som Sanna Kallur på 100m häck. Ingen tid spenderades, som citatet ovan säger, med att låta oss lära känna karaktärerna.

Avsnitten har kanske varit i det längsta laget de med, dock så noterar jag med humor att avsnitten till den tredje säsongen av The Orville varit bitvis längre (längsta klockade in på 1h:27min) men där märktes längden inte av alls. Det är en konst att berätta bra och engagerande – Amazon har med LotR:RoP och WoT visat att budget är inte allt.

Jag avrundar med att tacka @kulturdasset för sällskapet igenom den här säsongen. "Delad glädje är dubbel glädje, delad börda är halv börda" som man brukar säga.

P.S. Regissören till det här avsnittet regisserade även ett par avsnitt av WoT, kanske därför det tillhör ett av de bättre?

Länkar.

The Wheel of Time should’ve gotten The Rings of Power’s huge budget.
