Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Plummer Blocks
Tumblr media
Plummer blocks are essential components in industrial machinery, providing reliable support for rotating shafts. From heavy-duty equipment to light conveyor systems, Plummer blocks are used across a wide range of applications. In this blog, we’ll explore what is Plummer block, the different types of Plummer block, and the key advantages and disadvantages of using them in your operations.
What is Plummer Block?
A plummer block, also known as a bearing housing or pillow block, is a mounting unit that houses rolling bearings. It is designed to support a rotating shaft and maintain alignment, allowing for smooth rotation with minimal friction.
These blocks are generally made from cast iron, cast steel, or sometimes thermoplastic, depending on the application. Plummer blocks simplify machinery maintenance, provide excellent support under load, and protect bearings from contaminants such as dust and moisture.
They are widely used in industries like:
Cement and mining
Power plants
Food processing
Conveyors and material handling systems
Types of Plummer Block
There are several types of Plummer block available, designed to accommodate different shaft sizes, loads, and installation requirements. Choosing the right one depends on the nature of your application.
1. Split Plummer Block Housing
These are the most common types, featuring a two-piece design that allows easy assembly, disassembly, and maintenance.
2. Solid Plummer Block Housing
Made in a single piece, these housings provide extra strength and rigidity, suitable for high-load applications.
3. Heavy-Duty Plummer Block
Built for extreme industrial conditions, they can handle high-speed and high-load environments effectively.
4. Light-Duty Plummer Block
Ideal for applications involving low speeds and light loads, such as small conveyors or agricultural machinery.
5. Adjustable Plummer Block
These offer flexibility in alignment and positioning, making them suitable for applications that require frequent adjustments.

Advantages of Using Plummer Blocks
Now that we’ve covered what is Plummer block and the various types of Plummer block, let’s look at the key benefits of using them.
1. Easy Installation and Maintenance
Plummer blocks, especially the split-type, allow for easy bearing inspection and replacement without dismantling the shaft. This reduces machine downtime and labor costs.
2. High Durability
Made from robust materials like cast iron or steel, Plummer blocks are designed to endure harsh environments and heavy mechanical loads.
3. Effective Shaft Support
They offer excellent shaft support and alignment, reducing the risk of vibration, misalignment, and wear in machinery.
4. Versatile Applications
With a wide range of sizes and configurations, Plummer blocks can be adapted to suit various applications—from lightweight machinery to high-load industrial systems.
5. Enhanced Bearing Protection
Plummer blocks often come with sealing mechanisms to protect the internal bearing from contaminants, extending the life of the bearing and the equipment.
6. Cost-Effective
Though they require initial investment, Plummer blocks prove economical in the long term by reducing bearing failure, machine downtime, and maintenance frequency.
7. Alignment Flexibility
Some Plummer blocks include self-aligning bearings that compensate for shaft deflections and misalignments, improving performance and reducing wear.
Disadvantages of Using Plummer Blocks
While Plummer blocks offer many benefits, they also have a few limitations to consider:
1. Size and Weight
Some Plummer blocks, particularly heavy-duty models, can be bulky and add extra weight to the machinery.
2. Initial Setup Complexity
Proper alignment and installation require technical expertise. Errors during setup can lead to premature bearing failure.
3. Limited Speed and Load Range
Not all types are suitable for extremely high speeds or heavy loads. Using the wrong Plummer block can result in system inefficiency.
4. Ongoing Maintenance Required
Although Plummer blocks simplify maintenance, they still require routine lubrication and inspection to function effectively.
5. Cost Variability
Advanced Plummer blocks with high-grade materials and specialized seals may have higher upfront costs, which can affect budgeting for large-scale installations.
Tumblr media
Conclusion
Understanding the advantages and disadvantages of using Plummer blocks is essential for engineers, maintenance professionals, and equipment managers. These bearing housings provide a reliable, versatile, and cost-effective solution for supporting rotating shafts in industrial environments.
By knowing what is Plummer block and the various types of Plummer block available, you can select the right configuration to enhance your system’s performance and longevity. Despite a few limitations, Plummer blocks remain a smart investment for reducing downtime, improving equipment reliability, and ensuring smoother operation in demanding conditions.

Welcome to the HOT AND VINTAGE MOVIE STARS bracket! we are currently voting on the HOTTEST and VINTAGEST male movie stars from 1910-1970. (we will do the ladies next.) Submissions for hot vintage men are now closed, but we are accepting propaganda for those already in the bracket.
Round 2 of the Hot & Vintage Men Tournament will be posted Saturday, January 6th, with some spillover to Sunday if needed, and will last a week. All the round 2 polls can be found and voted on under the tag #round 2. All polls—including the shadow bracket of men already removed from the main tournament, as well as additional fun mini polls—can be found in the #hotvintagepoll tag. Every poll in the Hot & Vintage Men Tournament is tagged with the hot man in it if you need to search for a hot man in particular.
Between rounds, any propaganda (photos, videos, gifs, or text) submitted for your favorite Hot Vintage Man who is in the next round may be added to the official propaganda field in the polls, giving your fave an advantage in the next round. Once rounds start, any propaganda sent in is posted as its own separate post, searchable under the hot man's tag.
FAQs:
"Where is [my favorite hot man]?" It depends. Have you checked all the polls in the tag? Have you done a tag search for him? If you still haven't found him, either nobody submitted him or he did not fit the criteria of being a movie man from 1910-1970.
"Can I still submit hot men?" No, the submission window has closed. Please do not send in men you wish had made it into the bracket. I can't do anything with those asks and they just make me sad.
"I have hot women to submit!" Amazing! Please wait to send me your ladies until I post the submission form for that bracket. Asks submitting ladies don't count—you need to wait until the submission form.
"I have additional propaganda for the hot men!" Great! Send me an ask or reblog the poll and add your propaganda to it. I don't have time to read all the propaganda but I boost what I can.
If you're submitting propaganda for your hot man, I don't accept propaganda that's from beyond the end of this tournament's era (ie don't send me pics of them in the 70s onwards).
I don't post or boost negative propaganda about any hot man. If you really hate that a certain hot man is winning, send me positive propaganda for their hot opponent. If you think a hot man shouldn't even be included in the bracket because of scummy things they did in their lifetime, please read my take on it here.
If I see repetitive, trolling, and/or bigoted remarks in the comments, I may block you from this bracket. If you want to point out a hot man's flaws or misdemeanors, that's fine, but if I see consistent bad-faith trolling, you will be blocked.
"My FAQ isn't on here :(" send me an ask! I love hearing from you guys—just please check these basics first.
"WHERE ARE THE HOT MEN. I want to see all the hot men competing in one place!!" You can find all the round 1 matchups here (thank you @markwatnae!), and everyone who made it to round 2 below the cut. Thank you for being here! Enjoy the tournament.

19 April 2007 - Ben in an interview for broadway.com with Katie Riegel. Read the original HERE
Age: "Can I plead the fifth?"
Currently: Making his Broadway debut in Inherit the Wind as Bertram Cates, the dramatized version of schoolteacher John Scopes, who was put on trial in 1925 for teaching evolution in the notorious "monkey trial."
Hometown: Cartersville, Georgia.
Training Days: As a teen, Walker attended the famed Interlochen summer arts camp in Michigan to test whether his hankering for acting was just a phase. "I thought, 'If I can handle this, I must really like it,'" he says. "I got bitten by the bug there, and that was that." He then attended Juilliard's prestigious acting program, an experience that elicits a burst of adjectives from the playful actor: "Fantastic. Hard. Beyond hard. Challenging. Some of the best teachers and directors and writers in the world are there," he says pausing reflectively. "And then me," he cracks. "I don't know how I got in."
Nose No Bounds: While in his final year at Juilliard, Walker landed his first film, playing the 19-year-old version of Liam Neeson's title character in Kinsey. "I was so over-stimulated that I don't really remember much of it," he says of the film shoot. "I had no idea what I was doing. They had a prosthetic nose glued to my face, and here I was running around with my pants down on a movie set. I was petrified. It was truly wild." Following post-grad roles in a few indie flicks and The Notorious Bettie Page, Walker landed the part of Harlon Block, one of the six famous Iwo Jima flag-raisers in Clint Eastwood's Flags of our Fathers, and shipped out to Iceland to film. "It was more work than you'd imagine," he says. "Not that I thought it was going to be playtime. But the physical rigor of it was intense: enduring cold and simple things like that, as opposed to…my character's motivation," he says with a grin.
Spring-time: While honing his on-screen skills, Walker also chalked up some nice theater roles, including a well-reviewed turn last summer as Mercutio in eyeliner and a dress, no less in Williamstown's production of Romeo and Juliet. "Mercutio's the only part to play in that show," he declares. "Sword fight, shout, die…sleep 'till curtain call!" He's also the unlikely source for a trivia tidbit for Spring Awakening buffs: Walker starred as Melchior in the 2005 Lincoln Center workshop of the popular Duncan Sheik/Steven Sater tuner. So is he disappointed that he didn't get to see the show to its Broadway bow? "No," he says simply. "I mean, I couldn't. Look at me. I'm six feet tall! And as much as I want to bare my ass to the Broadway fan base…no. I think it works so well now. I saw it, and [Jonathan Groff] can take it! You got it, bud. It's that good."
Find Me Funny: "Yeah, I tell dirty jokes," Walker says with a wink when asked about his surprising side gig as a stand-up comedian. "The first two years of Juilliard, they don't allow you to perform for the public, and that was bothersome," he explains. "So I started doing open mics. It was a little late-night thing I could do and not tell anybody about. I don't think any teachers are going to show up at Gladys' Comedy Hole! But it's kind of grown into this beast." Showing off a hoodie emblazoned with the logo of his group, "Find the Funny," he says, "We have some of the best young stand-ups in the city doing our [bi-monthly] show. I don't know that I'm a comic, but it's a challenge. That's the great thing about being an actor: You can be anything. 'Could I be on trial? I dunno. Let's do the show tonight!'"
Learning from Legends: "I'm livin' the dream," Walker says, shifting tone to discuss making his Broadway debut in Inherit the Wind. "I heard Doug Hughes was directing it. When I was in school I was watching these theatrical events take place—Doubt, Frozen—and Doug's name was always attached. He and the fates smiled on me with this." How about his legendary co-stars, Brian Dennehy and Christopher Plummer? "Who?" he says playfully. "Their track records are more than impressive, and their skill and craft are unprecedented, but at the same time, they're genuine, kind men who love telling a story with a group of people. Period." Sharing scenes with Plummer, who plays Henry Drummond, the lawyer defending Walker's character for teaching evolution, has taught him tons. "Regardless of the amount of experience he's had, he's continually trying to rediscover himself as an actor," Walker says. "Every night, you'd better be on your game, because it's going to be different. And that's impressive, given the amount of experience he's bringing to this—that he's still doing it every day; that he's still playful. [My character] is lucky to have a lawyer like Drummond…and I'm lucky to have an actor like Christopher Plummer to sit next to."

PLUMMER
Tumblr media
A/N: I'm late like always! But when writers block and life interfere, I'm late. Here ya go! @therealbattleangel
Warnings: slight cussing
Parings: Tom Grant x Reader
Word count: 2k
-----------------------------‐------‐------–-------------------
You just moved into your new place, It was small but it quickly became a home for you, something that rarely happens when moving.
With every new place it came with some defective parts and right now you kept on struggling with this one.
"Come on you piece of shit!" You said trying to untied the bolt that held the tube and sink connected.  You had googled why it wasn't draining or why a musky rotten smell came out of it.  You managed to use some chemicals and got rid of the smell, thank god, but the drainage still kept on going slow. So now you were trying to open the tube and see if something was stuck in there, that is what the nice man on YouTube said.
You cursed a few times when the thing wasn't budging. You grown frustrated and accidentally hit one of the water lines making it burst open.
"What the fuck!" The cool water kept on hitting your chest and face as you tried to reach over and shut the water line off. You gasped a couple of times feeling the water run up your nose until you finally switched it off.
"Shit" you said and grabbed a dry towel and your phone. You dialed the previous owners phone number and began laying dry towels on the floor trying to clean up the mess.
"Hello?"  The lady picked up and you quickly stopped what you were doing.
"Yes, Hi. I'm Y/n, the person who moved bought your trailer." You hear her gasp and tried making conversation but you were freezing your ass off and there was still a leaking pipe.
"Sorry for my rambling. What do you need honey?" You faked a laugh and said that 'it's okay! I enjoyed the talk' which was a load of shit. You were fed up with the damn sink!
"Do you have a handy man? Or someone who is a plumber? The bathroom sink isn't working right and I think that I made it worst." You heard a shuffling from the other line.
"Oh goodness. I actually do have someone I  mind. I'll give him a call and he'll be ther in less than five minutes if he is home." You sighed relieved and thanked the lady before hanging up. You began cleaning the water and putting the wet towels in the hamper when there was a knock on the trailer door.
"Coming!" You yelled and rushed to the door. You swung it opened almost hitting the person.
"You the guy?" You asked looking back into the bathroom making sure it was clean.
"Yeah." His voice sounded charming that you snapped your head back towards him. His brown eyes caught yours in a flash. He was incredibly handsome for a guy around these parts.
"Tom." He stretched out his hand and you shook it. His touch sent a shock to your body that you quickly removed your hand from his.
"Y/n. Come in! Bathroom is far end." You moved aside and let him through. Tom walked in and you pointed at the bathroom door. He winked at you and made his way. You were stuck with a blush running up your cheeks that you had to slap you cheek to snap out of it.
"What's the problem?" You followed behind him and explained what had happened, also your little fit costing one of the water lines. He kneeled down and began inspecting the sink. You kept on missing the side glances that Tom gave you while you kept on trying to clean up the water.
"Yeah-" you cut him off.
"Yeah what?" You said looking at him.
"The water line is fucked and I have to unscrew the pipe to see what is stuck in there." He said. You sighed annoyed knowing that, that was the reason why you were trying to unscrew it in the first place.
"I know." You mentioned and scooted closer towards him and began pointing out stuff under the sink. His eyes where glued to the way your wet hair stuck cutely to your face and how your lips moved, let's also mention how your wet shirt exposed some skin.
"Hello?" You waved your hand making him look away and closed his eyes.
"You okay?" You asked feeling a bit uncomfortable.
"Yeah it's that your wet shirt is a bit distracting and kind of sexy." He bluntly says. Your eyes snap down and see what he was referring. Your arms try and cover yourself but fail making you look ridiculous.
"Oh shit!" You said and ran towards your tiny bedroom slamming the door shut. Tom laughed and used one of the tools that he had on him to try and twist the screw, but he was struggling the same way you did. You on the other hand placed your hand on your chest feeling yourself breath heavily.
"You stupid fuck!" You angrily whispered to yourself when you see yourself in the mirror. You struggle to take off your wet clothes and drop it on the floor with a wet slap and rush to get a dark colored shirt. While making sure that you looked somewhat presentable a knock on your bedroom door made you jump.
"Its Tom! " you ridiculously rush towards the door and swing it open hitting your head with the edge.
"Yeah?" You rubbed your head and looked at him. He had a sweet smile on his face just taking your breath away.
"I see why you struggled. The last person sealed it pretty tight." He leaned against the doorframe and winked at you again. Heat took over your cheeks and it made him feel confident.
"You got to stop that." You said making him smile brightly.
"What?" Tom played dumb.
"I don't even know you and you just began flirting right off the top." You began feeling small as he scooted a bit closer to you.
"Whose fault was it to open their door to a single guy while they had their little wet tshirt contest." You ducked your head trying to hide the redness.
"It wasn't intentional, alright." You responded.
"I know..." he enjoyed how your ears turned a cute pink and how a strand of hair stuck against your cheek.
"You know..." he gently removed the strands of hair from your cheek.
"After I fix the sink, imma need some type of payment."  Your mind quickly went dirty and snapped your head up.
"What?! I bearly know you and you want-" he raised his hands to stop you. He understood that his words sounded inappropriate but his intentions were innocent. He laughed at your cute face and pulled away.
"I was wondering if you could pay me with a date." His demeanor turned shy and childish.
"You know, an Ice cream date by the beach side." You froze and made eye contact with him for a few seconds.  You knew that once he finished his sentence you had already screamed 'yes' in your head. Now you just needed to be vocal about it.
"Okay..." you said. He smiled brightly and backed out of your room, fumbling with a wrench he had in hand.
"Only if you fix the sink!" You yelled.
"Got it!" He exclaimed and jogged to the bathroom.
You patently waited as he finished the sink. You couldn't help but glance at him from your kitchen. He was incredibly attractive that you felt as if you're in a dream.
"Tom?" You called with a glass of lemonade in hand. He was screwing on the waterline and looked up at you.
"Need any help?" He shook his head and stood up.
"Just finished." He smiled when you handed him the glass.
"Good lemonade." He finished it and handed back the glass. The two of you stayed quiet and enjoyed each other's company when he looked at his watch.
"Its getting late if we want to get that ice cream." You nodded and grabbed your phone and wallet. The walk to the ice cream shop was long but seemed short while Tom kept on flirting with you.
"Two swirls, please." Tom said and payed the ice cream.  He handed it to you and he took a huge bite of his.
"Oh God. You know you're supposed to enjoy the ice cream." You giggled.
"Its hot. It'll melt fast." He responded and grabbed your free hand unexpectedly. You took advantage and began feeling his hand. It was rough and really warm while yours were clamy. You wanted to pull away but his hand tightened and began pulling you.
"Woah!" You said when he started jogging.
"Hurry! We're going to miss it!" You were confused but kept up with him. He kept on pushing pass people and got closer to the beach.
"What?! What are we going to miss?!" The now, night sky began lighting up. You looked up and see bright colors and kids yelling excitedly.
Tom slowed down and found a perfect rock for the two of you. The view was beautiful with the lighting making the ocean look like if it was dancing.
"Fireworks! How'd you know?!" Your eyes shined as you sat down on top of the rock. It had been a while since you've seen them, that you pointed each one that you found pretty. Tom kept his eyes on you. On how your lips curled up into a big grin or how your eyes spark. Tom missed all of the fireworks but he didn't complain. He was amazed by the view in front of him.
"That was amazing!" You had forgotten about your ice cream that had turned into a small puddle next to you.
"Thank you." You said and looked at Tom.
"Welcome." He softly said and sat closer towards you. Once more the two of you fell quiet enjoying the ocean breeze and waves.
"Do you believe that it takes 8 seconds for someone to fall in love?" Tom broke the silence making you look back at him.
"I've never heard of that..." you scooted closer towards him making eye contact.
"But I've come to believe that now." You began leaning in and he did the same. You could feel his warm breath hitting your lips making your breathing shallow.
His lips hovered over yours when cold water hit the two of you. You gasp and pull away covering your face.
"What the-" Tom yelled when a group of kids that lived around the neighborhood began giggling with water guns in hand. You had met the kids when you moved in. They wanted to help you with the heavy stuff.
"Tom and y/n sitting on a rock K.I.S.S.I.N.G-" Tom jumped off and began running towards them making them scatter. You decided to join him and go after the one who is the leader.
"Kids! Leave them alone!" One of the mothers yelled.
"Its time to go!" Another one called making all the kids whine.
"Aw man!" They bid their goodbyes and raced to their mothers. Tom and you were worn out.
"I think it's time to go home." You huffed trying to catch your breath. Tom had plastered himself on the sand. You reached out your hand and waited for him.
"Wanna walk me home, handsome?" Tom blushed but took your hand and got up.
"Sure." He lead the way without letting go of your hand. Once you let go of his hand and took a few steps toward your door.
"I had fun, Tom." You said genuinely and turned to him.
"So did I, Y/n." You finally leaned into him and pulled him into a kiss. It surprised Tom but he pulled you into him more.
The kiss was slow and tender, it felt right.
"I'll call you later...Goodnight." You pulled away leaving him speechless.
"Goodnight." He managed to say and waited until you had gone inside and closed your door. You quickly rush towards your bedroom window and look out.
"YES, YES YES!" You see Tom jump and blow kiss at your home before running away.
You flopped into your bed and began remembering what had happened throughout the day. How could you have kissed someone on the first day of meeting him. You placed your hand on your chest and felt your heart soaring.
You clean up the mess in your bathroom and get ready for bed still having a smile plastered on your face.
"Oh god!" You crash on your bed and try to get some sleep while having the day in mind.

Housing (Body): The main body of the Plummer Block that encases the bearing and provides structural support.
Bearing: The central element that allows for smooth rotation of the shaft. Bearings can be spherical roller, ball, or tapered types depending on application needs.
Seals: Fitted around the shaft, seals prevent the ingress of contaminants like dust, dirt, and moisture and retain lubrication within the housing.
Adapter Sleeves: Used to mount bearings with a tapered bore onto a cylindrical shaft.
Locking Devices: These secure the bearing onto the shaft to prevent movement during operation.
Each component plays a critical role in ensuring optimal machine operation, and Jayco Engineering ensures each part is manufactured with precision and quality materials.
Plummer Block Bearing: Types and Features
Plummer Block Bearing is the heart of the housing system. Depending on the load, speed, and environment, different bearing types are used within the Plummer Block housing:
Ball Bearings: Ideal for light to moderate radial loads and low-speed applications.
Spherical Roller Bearings: Suitable for high radial loads and some axial loads, they adjust to shaft misalignment.
Cylindrical Roller Bearings: High load capacity and better suited for heavy-duty applications.
Tapered Roller Bearings: Used where both radial and axial loads are present.
At Jayco Engineering, our engineers assist customers in selecting the most suitable Plummer Block Bearing to match their operating conditions, ensuring maximum durability and performance.
Understanding Plummer Block Bearing Sizes

Love, Theoretically ⁕ Book Review
Tumblr media
This review contains spoilers. You have been warned!
Tumblr media
Overall Thoughts ⁕ This book was so refreshing! It has single-handedly pulled me out of a years long reading slump. It’s the first story in a long time that I genuinely say I had fun reading! No stressing out about traumatic character demises, no overwhelming or dense worldbuilding, no putting it down for months before finally picking it up again. Just straight up, good, I-Want-A-Man-Like-Jack vibes.
Synopsis ⁕ Elsie Hannaway is an adjunct professor and trying her best to make her monthly rent, which leads her to taking gigs as a fake girlfriend. But when she puts her best foot forward for her dream career at MIT, Jack Smith-Turner stands in the way at every turn, in more ways than she can count.
Warnings ⁕ Chronic illness (Type 1 Diabetes), discussions of a parental death, explicit sexual content, medical situations, mentions of alcohol (a few side characters get drunk at a party), misogyny and sexism, power dynamics, sexual harassment.
Rating ⁕ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Tumblr media
Plot
Going back to my reading roots with some sweet, sweet contemporary romance. There’s just something about a girl being so overwhelmed by her life, only to be reinvigorated by the thought of sticking it to her worst enemy... who has been in love with her the entire time. The plot progression at no point felt too fast or slow. It was a steady ride of genuine growth between Elsie and Jack. From one-sided loathing to “I want to eat you out for the rest of my life”, their relationship with one another is nothing short of sincere and considerate.
Characters
Elsie Hannaway ⁕ I love her! She is a great representation of what it’s like to be in your late twenties with seemingly no relief in sight. Her arc of breaking away from those who stifle her is very well done. She feels real. She has real concerns, real problems, real insecurities. After finishing this book, Elsie has skyrocketed to being one of my favorite protagonists. Jack Smith-Turner ⁕ This man. This man. One might say I need this man so fucking bad. And if one did say that, they would be so fucking correct. He’s so casually domineering and unapologetically interested in everything about Elsie. Sure, I was constantly saying how much of a dick he is out loud to myself, but I was doing it with a smile on my face.
Things I Liked
I listened to the audio book for this one, and the narrator, Thérèse Plummer, was great! If this story ever receives an adaptation, I’m going to need her to play every role in various costumes. If you looked up Ali Hazelwood in the dictionary, you’d find the word ‘hilarious’ next to her name. I can’t emphasize how much I smiled during this book! I couldn’t stop smiling — literally kicking my feet and giggling the entire time! Elsie is actually me in disguise, excluding the science stuff. All the way down to eating a cheese block in her room while reading Twilight fanfiction. Carbon copy.
Things I Disliked
The ending felt a little abrupt. Just Elsie handing him a letter was a little anti-climatic for me. I was confused when there wasn’t more after that. Also, the fact that we didn’t meet the infamous Kirk! I need a short story about Cece and her new beau as soon as possible! Just a little spin-off, please and thank you, Ali!
Other Notes
Once again, I want to acknowledge that this book was genuinely fun. I had a great time with it! I think it will be the one that can look back on and say that it successfully pulled me out of a years long reading slump.

'It's the stuff of dreams: Andrew Scott, aka the Hot Priest, and Paul Mescal, Normal People's heartthrob extraordinaire, fall in love in an eerie new story directed by Andrew Haigh.
But things are far from breezy: Haigh's moody romance drama, a meditation on memory and love, drills down on the way human beings cope with loss. Things are not what they seem. Scott’s character, Adam, is still dealing with the death of his parents; Mescal’s character, Harry, has a substance abuse problem.
"If you don't cry at Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal's performances in All of Us Strangers, you need to start asking yourself some questions..." said the Standard in a piece about how to watch the film without weeping throughout.
Now the new film has just landed on Disney+, thrilling subscribers. Here's everything to know about All Of Us Strangers.
What's the film about?
All of Us Strangers is loosely based on Japanese writer Taichi Yamada’s 1987 novel Strangers, which tells the story of a man who befriends two strangers who closely resemble his dead parents. His health deteriorates and he realises the pair are actually ghosts feasting on his energy.
In Haigh's adaptation, the film follows Andrew Scott's character, Adam, who returns to his rural childhood home from London, where his dead parents seem to be still residing.
Although they cannot be real, they certainly feel real, and the experience allows him to go over childhood memories: "All the way through All of Us Strangers, writer-director Andrew Haigh’s noble attempt to introduce the complex subject of gay shame to the mainstream, I was reminded of the most famous line of Philip Larkin’s poetry. “They f*** you up, your mum and dad/ They may not mean to, but they do.” What would happen, poses Haigh, if they got to apologise afterwards?" said the Standard.
Running alongside this story is the blossoming relationship between Adam and his neighbour Harry (Paul Mescal), who slowly fall in love.
Is there a trailer?
Yes...Against the extended dance version of the Pet Shop Boys’ Always On My Mind, we are introduced to Adam and Harry. It’s not clear what they mean to each other yet – or will come to mean to each other – but they start talking about Adam’s childhood. His parents died just before he was 12 years old, he tells Harry.
The trailer takes us away from the London tower block, and to a suburban house – Adam’s childhood home. Adam approaches the building, and as he enters his mum (Claire Foy) and dad (Jamie Bell) welcome him, frozen in time?
“Is this real?” asks Adam. “Does it feel real?” replies his mum.
“Our boy’s back home,” smiles his dad, holding out his glass in another scene, as the reunited family sits around the table. Judging by these strange, sorrowful scenes, the film is going to be an absolute tearjerker.
Who has made the film?
All Of Us Strangers has been written and directed by award-winning British filmmaker Haigh, whose 2011 drama film Weekend told the story of a brief but intense romance between two men who meet at a gay club. The film was highly praised and won Best Screenplay at the Evening Standard British Film Awards.
Since then, Haigh has directed and written 45 Years (2015), which starred Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay as two retirees who have been married for 45 years. At the 2015 Berlin Film Festival, both actors won the Silver Bear awards for their roles in the film.
Haigh also directed Lean on Pete (2017), a coming-of-age drama which starred Charlie Plummer as a young man who makes friends with a racehorse.
What have the critics said?
All Of Us Strangers premiered at the 50th Telluride Film Festival in Colorado in late August, where it picked up some stellar reviews.
The film has 94 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes, and has been described by critics as “a nuclear-grade tearjerker”, “an enormously satisfying and affecting experience,” and having “piercing insight and arresting performances”.
The Standard loved it, describing it as "bleakly handsome filmmaking, with a virtuoso cast". Other reviewers have been just as taken by the film, calling it, "an emotionally wrenching masterpiece", "mesmerising", and a "glorious magic-realist meditation on grief".
What have the actors said?
Both Scott and Mescal have been doing a lot of press for the film. Speaking to British Vogue about working with Scott, Mescal said: "We became very close because of the nature of this project – not just because of the sex scenes, but because of the emotional intimacy that these two characters share. That was just the perfect climate to fall in love with Andrew as a human being. It’s a very easy thing to do."
Scott, who is gay, has spoken about the film's exploration of gay shame: "I think for so many people, particularly queer people, you can feel like a stranger in your own family," he said to ABC Entertainment. "Even if they haven't directly rejected you, you just feel slightly different… [But] discomfort within a family and love within a family can coexist. It's pretty common."
Where to watch All of Us Strangers in the UK?
For Disney+ subscribers, the film has now landed on the platform. For non subscribers, it’s available to buy from £9.99 on Google Play, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube and Apple TV.'

Top 10 filmed Shakesperian performance
My favorite Shakesperian performances.Few ground rules
1.No films that are inspired by Shakespeare .So no Throne of Blood ,West Side Story ,Forbidden Planet ,10 Things I Hate About You etc
2.Each production only gets one block .cause if I didnt do that this would be flooded with great performances from just one or two productions
3.ONE role per actor
10.Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson as Benedict and Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing (1993)
So I was tempted to put either Michael Keatons Dogberry or Denzel Washingtons Don Pedro here ,but I had to include this smart bickering couple played brillaintly by Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson .Also my favorite Shakesperian performance by Branagh (Though I havent seen him as Iago in Othello yet )
Tumblr media
9.Olivia Hussey as Juliet Capulet in Romeo and Juliet (1968)
The definitive Juliet to me
Tumblr media
8.Roddy Mcdowell as Ariel from the Tempest (1960)
As people would later see with the Planet of the Apes series Roddy McDowell is an actor who works well under makeup ,he just feels like a mystical spirit (Though honorable mention to Richard Burton as Caliban )
Tumblr media
7.James Cagney as Bottom inA Midsummer Nights Dream (1935)
So this film is a mess,plagued with actors who dont know what they are saying .....And then you have James Cagney who just GETS IT ,and is funny ,and I think its a shame he didnt do more Shakespeare
Tumblr media
6.Laurance Olivier as Richard in Richard III (1955)
So hot take,I am not a big Laurance Olivier fan....But when hes good hes GREAT ,and as the iconic Shakesperian villain he is phenomenal
Tumblr media
5.Orson Welles as Falstaff in Chimes At Midnight (1965)
So Orson Welles ADORED the character of Falstaff ,and delivers one hell of a performance
Tumblr media
4.Ian Holm as Puck in Midsummers Night Dream (!968)
So this may have my favorite ensemble of any Shakespeare film ,but easily my favorite is the legendary Ian Holm as the mischevious trickster Puck
Tumblr media
3.Kathryn Hunter as the Witches in The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021)
So this performance is so great it inspired this list .In a film with powerhouse like Frances McDormand and Denzel Washington ,Hunter outshines them all in a performance that is both creepy and bizarre
Tumblr media
2.Christopher Plummer as Hamlet in Hamlet at Elsinore (!964)
My favorite Hamlet ,who really gets both the tragedy but also the humor of the character
Tumblr media
1.Ian McKellen and Judy Dench as Lord and Lady Macbeth in Macbeth (1979)
Two of the great clasically trained actors as two of Shakespeares great villains ,who happen to have astonishingly good chemistry
Tumblr media

what's 'the man who invented christmas' about?
It's essentially based on the true story (with a hint of magical realism and a lot of imagination) about Charles Dickens writing A Christmas Carol. Throughout the movie, in a way, it's its own retelling of the story with the people in Dickens's life inspiring the characters in the stories. It's really fascinating learning about the circumstances around when he wrote it, but it's also delightful when he interacts with his characters as he struggles with writer's block
I highly recommend it if you like A Christmas Carol and/or Dan Stevens (who plays Dickens so well)... or if you just want to see Christopher Plummer as Scrooge. It's frankly become a must-see for me every year :D

Difference between Plummer Block vs. Pillow Block for industrial use
Tumblr media
Introduction
In industrial machinery, supporting rotating shafts is critical for smooth operation and long service life. Two commonly used bearing housings for this purpose are plummer blocks and pillow blocks. While they might look similar, each has unique features suited for different industrial applications.
At Nisuka Industries, a trusted conveyor gearbox manufacturer in India, we understand the importance of using the right components to maintain reliable, efficient operations. In this blog, we explain the key differences between plummer blocks and pillow blocks for industrial use.
What is a Plummer Block?
A plummer block is a type of bearing housing designed to support a rotating shaft using a bearing inside it. It is usually made from heavy-duty materials like cast iron or cast steel, providing strong support for shafts operating under high loads and severe conditions. Plummer blocks are commonly used in heavy industries where durability, strength, and the ability to handle misalignment are essential.
These housings can accommodate spherical roller bearings or ball bearings and are often fitted with seals to protect against dust, dirt, and moisture.
Tumblr media
Key features of Plummer Blocks:
High load-bearing capacity
Suitable for harsh environments
Can handle shaft misalignment
Designed for easy maintenance
What is a Pillow Block?
A pillow block is also a bearing housing that holds a rotating shaft but is usually designed for lighter-duty applications compared to plummer blocks. Pillow blocks are often made from lighter materials like pressed steel or cast iron and typically house ball bearings.
They are ideal for systems that operate at moderate speeds and loads, such as conveyors, agricultural equipment, and light industrial machinery.
Key features of Pillow Blocks:
Easy installation
Lower load-bearing capacity
Generally used in cleaner environments
Cost-effective for lighter applications
When to Choose a Plummer Block?
If your application involves high loads, high speeds, or tough environmental conditions (such as mining, heavy conveyor systems, cement plants, or crushers), a Plummer block is the better choice. At Nisuka Industries, as a trusted SMSR gearbox manufacturer in India, we often recommend Plummer blocks for industries that need robust and heavy-duty solutions to keep their production lines running smoothly.
Plummer blocks also allow for easy bearing replacement without disturbing the shaft alignment, saving downtime during maintenance.
When to Choose a Pillow Block?
If you are working with lighter loads and relatively clean environments, such as food processing units, small conveyors, packaging lines, or agricultural machinery, a pillow block is a cost-effective and practical solution. Pillow blocks are quick to install, easy to replace, and ideal for machines that don't experience extreme working conditions.
Many of our customers who use our conveyor belt tensioner manufacturer in India products in smaller setups also prefer pillow blocks due to their easy integration with conveyor systems.
Tumblr media
Importance of Choosing the Right Bearing Housing
Choosing the wrong type of bearing housing can result in increased wear and tear, frequent breakdowns, and costly downtime. By selecting the correct housing — whether a plummer block or a pillow block — industries can ensure:
Better load distribution
Reduced maintenance costs
Longer equipment life
Smoother machine operation
As a leading conveyor gearbox manufacturer in India, we always guide our customers to select components that match their specific operational needs.
Main Differences Between Plummer Block and Pillow Block
Plummer blocks and pillow blocks differ in several key features that make them suitable for different industrial applications. When it comes to load capacity, plummer blocks are designed for high-load conditions, whereas pillow blocks are built to handle moderate to low loads. In terms of material, plummer blocks are constructed from heavy-duty cast iron or cast steel, giving them the strength needed for tough environments, while pillow blocks are typically made from cast iron or pressed steel, making them lighter and more suitable for less demanding applications.
The application areas for each also vary significantly. Plummer blocks are commonly used in heavy industries such as mining, cement production, and crushers, where equipment is exposed to extreme stress and harsh working conditions. In contrast, pillow blocks are used in light to medium industries, including conveyor systems and agricultural machinery, where the operational environment is more controlled. Speaking of environments, plummer blocks are built to withstand harsh, dusty, and wet conditions, whereas pillow blocks perform best in cleaner, indoor, or semi-protected environments.
When it comes to the type of bearings used, plummer blocks are versatile and can house spherical roller bearings or ball bearings, making them ideal for handling misalignment and heavy stresses. Pillow blocks, on the other hand, mostly use ball bearings, which are sufficient for moderate operational loads. Maintenance needs also differ; plummer blocks require regular maintenance to ensure longevity and optimal performance, especially given the tough conditions they face. Pillow blocks, by comparison, require minimal maintenance and are easier to manage in routine operations.
Finally, the cost is an important distinguishing factor. Plummer blocks are generally more expensive because of their robustness, high load capacity, and durable construction. Pillow blocks are a more economical choice, offering an affordable solution for applications that do not demand heavy-duty performance.

Ice harvesting was a thriving industry in the 19th century, employing tens of thousands of workers in New England alone. Big blocks of ice were removed with jagged-toothed saws from frozen rivers, lakes and ponds, packed in sawdust and shipped around the world.
Having access to ice year-round changed the way people kept and ate food. Then came the advent of electric refrigeration. Cutting natural ice by hand became virtually obsolete. But there are still a few places where the tradition is carried on, places such as South Bristol, Maine.
Every Presidents' Day weekend, hundreds of people from the coastal community and beyond turn out for an old-fashioned ice harvest. It takes place on a small pond framed by tall trees and a rustic barn. Ken Lincoln, his brother Todd, and several other men rise early in the morning to do what they learned more than 40 years ago as kids — lay out the long saws and ice picks to take out the first few blocks of ice from the pond.
Lincoln is president of the Thompson Ice House Preservation Corporation, which operates an onsite museum and sponsors the annual event. He wears thick coveralls, a flannel shirt and ice grippers on his boots. This is slippery business.

Did you know Elaine May originally wanted Christopher Plummer for A New Leaf? I recently learned this and I’m kinda obsessed with what the alternate version would be like, it would probably be a totally different movie and I wish so much both versions existed. Sharing the factoid with you today in memory of Christopher Plummer
I think this came up when I was doing my thesis research a long time ago but I blocked it from my memory because I think Walter Matthau is perfectly cast. THAT SAID, I SURE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT.

Shameless observation but everyone only talks about Dan Stevens in The Man Who Invented Christmas, and I don't deny how great job does acting as writer blocked Dickens, but no one talks about how great Scrooge impression does Christopher Plummer like I mean, are you forgetting the existence of a legend or what?
When we saw him acting as Nicholas Nickleby's uncle, like 20 years ago, we instantly thought he could do a great Scrooge. My family and I always hoped for that day to come and the dream cast became real at last with that movie.
Also, I would like to see Martin Freeman as Crachit but... 🤷🏻‍♀️

The Man Who Invented Christmas (2017)
This is it. This is my last review for this Christmas season, and fittingly it is also the inspiration for my url. This has been a wonderful experience that I plan on continuing next year to the best of my ability. I will be making a separate account for reviews January through October, but this one will stay Christmas.
Ok, so this story is kind of another version of A Christmas Carol, but it's actually about how Charles Dickens created the story. It's considered a biography/drama/comedy.
Charles Dickens (Dan Stevens) is the famous author of Oliver Twist in Europe and America but he has had three books flop in the year since. He refuses to tell his wife, Kate (Morfydd Clark) about the financial strain, even though she's been renovating their house. The only person he is honest with about his financial concerns is his good friend, John Forster (Justin Edwards). Charles and John try to get the situation resolved at the publishing house that has printed all of Charles's work so far, but after three flops, they're starting to withhold funds to make up for lost expenses. They won't grant an advance until they know they like the next book (a book Charles hasn't started yet, he just needs the advance money). Charles and John are at lunch after, where they see Thackery (Miles Jupp), another author who makes petty comments that are insults disguised as friendship. They also have a waiter (Pat Mooney) who is very clumsy and very old. Charles asks his name, and it's Marley. Charles writes "Marley" in a little notepad he carries with him. John explains to the waiter that "he collects names," obviously for potential future characters as we see throughout the movie.
Later that night, Charles is working in his study (no one is allowed to disturb him while he is working) when he overhears screaming. He finds the new housemaid Tara (Anna Murphy) telling the children a ghost story. He talks to her the next day and finds out it's a story she grew up hearing. She's an Irish orphan sent to London for work, but back in Ireland, her grandma always said that Christmas Eve was when the spirits could visit and walk among us. Tara continues to surprise Charles because she knows how to read without a formal education (her mom taught her) and she loves to read horror and fantasy books.
Shortly after, Charles's father, Mr. John Dickens (Jonathan Pryce), comes to visit. We learn fairly quickly that John Dickens is not good with money and has been poor for years, however he feels that he is a gentleman and entitled to everything that merits. You can see how someone who doesn't live within their means might run into problems, especially in the time of debtor's prisons and work houses. However, I'm not really sure why he's still so broke because Charles paid for his house outright and gives him a monthly allowance, so if he worked even part time, he would be comfortable. But no. Whatever. Charles is working and avoiding his father when he finally meets Scrooge (Christopher Plummer). And when I say meets, I mean that when he finds the right name for a character, the character physically manifests. Some of the characters look like people in his life: John is the Ghost of Christmas Present, Tara is the Ghost of Christmas Past, Mr. Haddock is the ghost of Jacob Marley, Charles's sister Fanny (Katie McGuinness) is Mrs. Cratchit, her husband Henry (Marcus Lamb) is Mr. Cratchit, and their son Henry Jr. (Pearse Kearney) is the famous Tiny Tim.
The next day, Charles goes to the publishers to pitch his story. They are less than enthusiastic about it; they have no Christmas spirit, thus no motivation to publish a Christmas story in six weeks to get it in stores before Christmas. Charles decides this story is too important, so he'll publish it himself. He needs funds for that, so he pays the aforementioned Mr. Haddock a visit. I don't understand the economics of the time well enough to know what Mr. Haddock's official title was, but it is some combination of lawyer and banker. John is there, appalled by how much Charles is sinking himself into debt, especially having the father he does. But Charles isn't going to be slowed down, so off to the illustrator! Mr. Leech (Simon Callow) is convinced it's not possible to finish in time, but after getting his ego stroked a bit, he agrees to the undertaking.
Things are going well, with Scrooge and Tara adding in their thoughts, until the last chapter. Charles gets a nasty writer's block. He has to resolve some issues with his past before he can figure out the end of the story. Kate is having trouble coping with all his mood swings.
This movie is true to the time period, true to the book with all the quotes being direct quotes, but most importantly, true to how a writer's brain works. There is also very interesting information given at the beginning and end of the film.
There's a reason it inspired my url. 5 stars.
