Tinsel & Tine #MiniMovieReview THE SILENT TWINS Focus Featuress | Director Agnieszka Smoczynska | Screenwriter: Andrea Seigel | Based on 1986 Book by journalist Marjorie Wallace
When I was growing up, I always said I’d have twins one day, didn’t have a preference of boys or girls they could even be fraternal. I just felt it would be fascinating to see their bonds develop and witness this unique sibling relationship. Of course, I wound up not procreating at all, a story for another time. But as I matured, not only did I rethink how much work twins would be, I also thought, what if they’re creepy, too identical and insular? What parent could handle that sense of separation from your children because they only require each other?
Well, this is what happens to Barbados immigrants to the UK, Aubrey (Treva Etienne) and Gloria Gibbons (Nadine Marshall) the parents of The Silent Twins, June (Letitia Wright) and Jennifer (Tamara Lawrance) Gibbons. They are not neglectful parents, they’re sweet people, but they have no idea what to do with these two troubled souls.The film starts out with warm tones of light playfulness starting with the animated opening credits, to the opening scene of the two girls (Leah Mondesir-Simmonds and Eva-Arianna Baxter play the twins in childhood) pretending to host a talk radio show with great patter and syncopated rhythm. You feel at first that this is not the movie you came to see. But soon we see their reality is nothing like their imaginative play.
Instead, the girls are very somber, withdrawn children who stay completely silent when others are around. The film switches to gray, drab colors. The mother tells the girl’s teachers and therapist she has no idea why they stopped talking. But this week I watched a documentary on The Silent Twins, and it was their speech impediment that first made them dummy up. No one was able to understand them. They got so tired of constantly repeating themselves, they decided not to communicate with others at all.
In the film, once the twins break their silence, Letitia and Tamara try to emulate the weird, clamped jaw, severe lisp of the twins, while still remaining intelligible. But listening to the real life June in the documentary, whatever went wrong with their speech pattern, was very wrong, an apparently incurable.Leah and Eva do a good job portraying the twins growing up, conveying their strangeness and the hold Jennifer seems to have over June when it seems June might break and try to be pleasant or laugh or utter a word. The effect racism had on their development as the only black children in an all-white school is touched upon only briefly. In fact, I feel their childhood is over too quickly all together.
Soon we meet the young adult versions of the twins. By this time the family has completely given up trying to communicate, food is left outside their bedroom door and “the twinnies,” as their parents call them, are left alone to write fiction stories, poetry and create macabre dolls and puppets. Much of this world is depicted as stop-motion animation sequences carefully crafted by artist Barbara Rupik. It’s both beautifully creative and horrendously morbid.
I’m still shocked and amazed to see movies featuring black women in mainstream theaters. When I started writing about films in 2009, I’d have to go to a small black film festival to see "me"as a protagonist. We had Whitney Houston in the 90’s and Tarantino’s "Jackie Brown", a few other exceptions maybe. But a movie like The Silent Twins would not have been green-lighted.
So, it always pains me not to rave about a movie with a black cast and female director. But Polish filmmaker Agnieszka Smoczynska ("The Lure", "Fugue") has provided all the ingredients and no seasoning. #TheSilentTwins is great with cinematic flourishes, but I wish we cared more about June and Jennifer. I wish it were gripping and that the scenes at the mental institute held more emotional impact. Still, it may get some awards season attention and I hope it does.

Let's mark this on our calendars!
That was a "speculative" post on Gator's blog today. I'm going to ignore her conspiratorial ranting about some "Clea" account on Twitter being a predictor of BC"s lack of co-operation - that's just pure trying really hard to squint your eyes to conjure up "connections" where there are none.
My take on this is - that Gator's HOPING that BC doesn't do any promo for Eric! In fact, the promo for BC's new limited series has just started to ramp up.
BC has begun doing interviews - this one came out today.
I think we'll see more as the late May premiere comes closer.
So maybe Gator should have held off with that little piece of her supposed "evidence" that "Ben" is staying "strong".
As for Letters Live - there are three more Letters Live events scheduled for 2024.
May 16th LL will be in NYC, June is when it comes to Berlin and finally there's the Wilderness Festival in August.
BC was definitely on board in March. He's on the Board of Diectors. He's fully invested in the success of LL. He hasn't been at every LL event, but he has attended most of them.
I have to believe that BC will be at at least one more out of those three LL event this year. So, like Gator's point about "Eric", she seems more anxiously wishing for him NOT to be a part of LL rather than seeing any real evidence of any disengagement on his part.
And finally we come to her thinking that BC won't be a part of the Met Gala.
I don't know about anyone else but I haven't seen ANY indication that he WAS considering to go to it at all! I'm not saying he won't go, and I'm not saying he should attend. I'm just saying as far as I know, there's not a lot of chatter about even the possibility of it happening. He's a pretty busy fellow, so even if he wanted Sophie and him to go, their schedules may just not allow it.
Of course Gator's motivation for him not going is probably just her fear of seeing Sophie by his side and offering up a big F___ Y___! to the Hater narrative!
#benedict cumberbatch#haters#haters just can’t stand to see bc happy!#haters are liars!#gatorfisch#morons the lot of them#extreme denial syndrom#benophie forever!!

Hi I've been seeing you talk abt it a lot and it's piqued my interest- what's Caligula effect?
Oh hey i'm glad i picked your interest. Caligula Effect is a videogame from 2016 that got a remake in 2018 Caligula Effect Overdose, this is the one you should go with as is the most complete. I got interested in it because Takuya Yamanaka, the writer in Milgram directed the game, Deco27 also worked as one of the composers for the game, which i think is how they met. There's also a second game Caligula Effect 2 which Yamanaka was more involved with as he was diector, producer and main writer of the game.
As for the plot of the game, it's about this virtual world called Mobius where people can go to escape the real world. In this world everyone becomes a high school student and doesn't age, and all their wishes become reality (well kind of). This world was created by a virtuadoll (basically just a vocaloid) called µ (basically this world's hatsune miku) who made this place to help people who were hurt by the real world. There's this group of students who call themseleves the Go-Home Club who realized this world is fake and want to find a way to go back to the real world. On the opposite side there's also the Ostinato Musicians, a group of people who work with µ in order to stop the Go-Home Club because they don't want anyone to escape.
You as the main character start the game with the club but can join the musicians later as well, then the game will have segments where you play as the president of the club or as a musician and you can have all those characters as party members and get to know the characters through their Character Scenarios, which are basically like the social links from Persona but a little less complicated. These scenarios also have a lot of influence on each other and even the main story in the case of two characters.
I haven't finished the playthrough i'm watching yet but i do like it so far, though it does start very slow imo i didn't really get that invested until the fourth dungeon. I will say though the game discusses heavy topics, but i do want to mention two things that can definetely stop someone from enjoying the game. First, there is a canon trans character as part of the musicians, and i think the way she's treated in the main story is not...very good? First off because the way you find out she is trans is because she's outed by someone from the main party during her dungeon, and after this many of the characters misgender her and make transphobic comments about her (even WAY after her dungeon's done), which i do think at least during her dungeon this was intentional in order to portray her hardships (because honestly these characters can be REAL assholes), but then they make jokes about her and even among the musicians she is STILL treated badly by the others and it's just tiring, especially because her character scenario IS genuinely really good and actually addresses many of these things that the main story does but you don't really get to see these things being properly talked about in the main story. I haven't finished the game tho and i think there's a few things later that will more properly address this aspect of her but it can be very uncomfortable. Second thing is that one of the musicians is...a creep, his name is a pun on the pronunciation of the word "stalk" and his dungeon is a public bathhouse. I think you can get where i'm going with this this. His whole thing is that he's a pervert and likes to peep on other women and you see him doing this multiple times during his dungeon. Anyways, as with all the musicians you can interact with him after his dungeon and do his scenario and all that, which i hate because he's still the same afterwards, i already didn't like him when he was first introduced, i thought hey maybe his scenario will show me something interesting, haha no learning more about him and how he was in the real world made me hate him even more. Even if some of the things discussed in his scenario were interesting i don't care, he's gross and creepy and he should be in jail like ayana said. Both of these characters are the bosses in the second and third dungeon, which is why i said the beggining can be hard to get into.
Aside from that, the soundtrack is awesome, and i do like most of the characters, i haven't finished it yet so obviously i still don't know how everything will end but i have been enjoying it. It's also very fun to find some similar themes to the ones in milgram. If you're interested in it i can link you to a playthrough of the game if you want, let me know!!

DNAD Tips & Tricks - How to spark inspiration & generate ideas
So, how do you have ideas?
I like the classic ways, like a good-old mind map. Do it quickly, don’t judge yourself too much or think you have to wait for a great idea to write it down – just get it all down and build on it. Come at the brief from a different perspective, or think about it in a different way. A different start point is always good to make sure you've really stretched your thinking and not just come up with similar ideas.
– Chloe Templeman, Creative Diector at DesignBridge
You're not going to believe this, but I honestly get my best ideas in the shower at the gym. If you saw the state of me you'd question how often I actually am at the gym. But it's true. I should really go to the gym more.
– Glenn Kitson, owner of The Rig Out
Creativity is often a team sport – you can be a creative rockstar but if you’re not supported by an amazing team, that idea is hard to bring to life. I love nothing more than collaborating with my team to come up with ideas and solutions.
– Pip Jamieson, Founder of The Dots
Where do you look for inspiration?
At DesignBridge, we try to do project kick-offs outside work to really get people in the zone as a team. If we can we go to where the product is made, talk to the people who own and love the brand, or do research in person – it’s amazing where inspiration can come from. It’s too easy nowadays to rely on the internet for divine inspiration to come to you. Get out there!
– Chloe Templeman
How do you go from inspiration to idea?
Well, it's the creative process – research and inspiration. Development of ideas. Refinement and craft. You have to dig deep into the problem at the beginning and find that wee gem of an idea to spring board into something big. A truth you can then develop and craft into something beautiful. Feed your eyes and your senses and creative things start to happen.
– Chloe Templeman
How do you know if you have a good original idea?
Our ideas often stand on the shoulders of those that come before, but unless you’re slightly scared of putting your idea out into the world, then you’re not pushing yourself hard enough – or you’re just copying someone else!
– Pip Jameson
What if I run of ideas?
I used to worry I'd use up all my good ideas and one day run out! But it doesn't seem to work like that. Being a creative person means you're continually inspired by everything you see and always thinking of new ideas and sketching down random thoughts when they come to you. I love that fear when you first get a brief and you think you don’t have any ideas, then you just start and somehow the ideas come and in the end you always crack it. Ideas come from everywhere and anything. Your mind stores things up, that illustrator you love, the books you’ve read, the thing that person once said, that sign you walked past and clocked, and an idea can hit you at any time.
– Chloe Templeman
What's the first thing you do when you receive a brief?
I'll get a brief in and chat to people about it, talk it over with the people I work with, digest it. The answer is usually within the brief itself.
– Glenn Kitson
