Happy 98th Birthday the Scottish actress Gurdrun Ure.

Every year when I get to this anniversary I have a wee smile, Gurdrun was born on 12th March 1926 in Campsie, Stirlingshire, making her probably the oldest living person feature in my posts.

A lot of people , even now thought that Supergran was played by Rentaghost actress Molly Weir who passed away in 2004 aged 94, and theatrical rag The Stage even confused the two in Molly Weir's obituary, but it was always Gudrun in the award winning series, I must say I never confused the two, I loved Supergran, the series based around a grandmother with super powers. I even found a picture tagged Gurdrun that was in fact Mary Ure in one source, as far as I am aware they are not related.

The show was made for Tyne Tees Television for Children's ITV and became hugely popular with people asking 'Is there nothing that she cannae do?'. Gudrun's enemy on the show was The Scunner Campbell played by the late actor and theatre director Iain Cuthbertson and the show was so popular it won an Emmy, and was sold to over 60 countries worldwide.

In the mid-50s, she decided to start using the name "Ann Gudrun" to make it easier for her audiences but, by the 60′s it looks like she had started using her real name, according to IMDb, certainly though by the times her bout of fame came about in the 1980s she had reverted back Gudrun Ure in a new climate of more acceptance of unusual names.

Gurdrun starred in Orson Welles' 1951 stage production of Othello and also appeared in 1953 film 36 Hours at the age of 27 under the artist name Ann Gudrun. She later appeared in shows including T-Bag and the Pearls of Wisdom, Midsomer Murders, The Crow Road, Where the Heart is and Casualty, the latter being her last TV role in 2009. She also appeared around the country on stage and on radio.

Oh and the name originates from the old Norse language, but is also nowadays has been one of the most frequently given female names in Iceland as Guðrún.

There has been a buzz kately that a big screen version of the show may be in the air, Tilda Swinton, an adopted Scot has been mooted for the lead role.

What's the correct way to be (to simply exist) in a world that seems to be staring down the barrel of many existential crises at the same time? Under these circumstances, is art self-indulgent?

I'm no authority on sane living ⁠— as Margaret Atwood once said ⁠—but I would argue that Audre Lorde was right when she wrote "poetry is not a luxury. It is a vital necessity of our existence." Particularly in difficult times such as these. Art is important not only on a personal basis:

So while our art cannot, as we wish it could, save us from wars, privation, envy, greed, old age, or death, it can revitalize us amidst it all.

Ray Bradbury, from 'Zen in the Art of Writing'

but also on much a wider scale:

I believe that all great art holds the power to dissolve things: time, distance, difference, injustice, alienation, despair. I believe that all great art holds the power to mend things: join, comfort, inspire hope in fellowship, reconcile us to our selves.

Art is good for my soul precisely because it reminds me that we have souls in the first place.

We stand before a work of art and our spirit is lifted by it: amazing that someone is like us! We stand before a work of art and our spirit resists: amazing that someone is different!

Tilda Swinton

These are important concepts when we find ourselves in times of war, pandemics, poverty, fascism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, racism, inequality, corrupt governments etc.

Here are some more quotations about the significance of art and some on how it's helped others to cope on a personal level and even to extend their lives:

"Art teaches nothing, except the significance of life."

⁠— Henry Miller, The Wisdom of the Heart; from 'Reflections on Writing'

"Any powerful work of art invades our being and changes it forever. The British critic George Steiner claims that art, like certain kinds of religious and metaphysical experience, is the most ‘“ingressive”, transformative summons available to human experiencing’. It is an intrusive, invasive indiscretion that ‘queries the last privacies of our existence’; an Annunciation that ‘breaks into the small house of our cautionary being’, so that ‘it is no longer habitable in quite the same way as it was before’. It is a transcendent encounter that tells us, in effect: ‘change your life’."

⁠— Karen Armstrong, from ‘A Short History of Myth’

"One of the great functions of art is to help us imagine what it is like to be not ourselves, what it is like to be someone or something else, what it is like to live in another skin, what it is like to live in another body, and in that sense to surpass ourselves, to go out beyond ourselves." 

⁠— Adrienne Rich

"Sometimes I say to myself: Your fate is unique, think the others fortunate—none has been tormented as you have. Then I read some poet of the ancient times and it is as though I were looking into my own heart."

⁠— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, from ‘The Sorrows of Young Werther’ tr. David Constantine

"That’s why I read poetry. I read poetry to stay alive. That’s why I went to poetry in the first place, that’s why I stay with it, that’s why I’ll never leave it."

⁠— Marie Howe

"Poetry led me by the hand out of madness."

 "Poetry has saved my life and I respect it beyond both or any of us."

"I am going to lose myself — or else, the chance is that poetry will save me."

"After nothing but pain and fear and the problems of guilt, your book burst over me and made me want to live . . ."

⁠— Anne Sexton, from ‘Anne Sexton: A Biography’ by Diane Wood Middlebrook and ‘A Self-Portrait in Letters’ ⁠

Thank you for answering the Plutarch fancast :) How about President Snow and Coin?

Okay, now we are heading from "Marie has had a powerpoint for this specific topic" to very uncharted waters. So this is all just pure vibes, nothing else. I also wouldn't mind recasting the previous actors. They worked just fine and if both are willed to reprise their roles, why not?

For President Snow, I was thinking Christopher Walken. I cannot tell you if I've ever seen a Walken movie, I cannot tell you that I have. But I like this man's vibes. This man has rather sharp features, all of which fit to Snow. A sharp nose, bold lips, and a sharp gaze. Part of it is just genetics luck, part of it is his demeanour. Really, his gaze and the lips are fairly important, and I want a new thg movie to go all out with the scariness of Snow in regards to how artificial he looks. I'm sure the makeup team will have a good day with Walken.

Alma Coin... This one's for our Tumblr wlw folks. I initially thought about Tilda Swinton, but then I thought... why not more sapphic? So Cate Blanchett it is. The reason why I want Alma Coin to be a win for wlw women everywhere is because I can see the appeal of this character. Strong female character who needs no men... So why not interested in women? I want the thg fanbase of lesbians to go nuts over Alma Coin, and Cate Blanchett being Cate Blanchett just fits. She can still look villainous, still has quite that sharp edge that makes her look that part, but if we inevitably will get straights who want to be kissed by Mr. Dictator right over there, then us wlws deserve something good. And that good is the implication that Alma Coin fucks ;)

#inbox #anon #Coriolanus snow #alma coin #listen anon I was socialised in the time of golden compass and narnia #I have known and seen my bisexuality since watching Nicole kidman #anyway this is very real of me and at the same time #just recast the previous actors if they want to #I would actually love for cameos and whatnot #josh as mr. mellark #Jennifer as mrs. Everdeen (ok that's a bigger role but you get me) #also also briefly considered carmen ejogo #(she did the minister in fbawtft) #but i feel a bit off about fancasting a black woman in this role #bc of the mean/evil black woman stereotype #the hunger games #thg

Wes Anderson várva-várt filmje, az Asteroid City január 6-tól elérhető – kizárólag a SkyShowtime-on

A film főszereplői Jason Schwartzman, Scarlett Johansson és Tom Hanks, és a kisebb szerepeket is népszerű és kritikusok által is elismert színészek játsszák. https://youtu.be/UB376bobhSQ?si=HHZ-vSPkQMJ8ES4d Az Asteroid City, Wes Anderson legújabb filmje Jason Schwartzman (The French Dispatch, The Grand Budapest Hotel), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow, Jojo Rabbit), és Tom Hanks (Elvis, News of the World) főszereplésével január 6-ától elérhető – kizárólag a SkyShowtime kínálatában. A hétszeres Oscar®-jelölt Wes Anderson (Isle of Dogs, Moonrise Kingdom) által írt és rendezett, a Focus Features ��ltal forgalmazott Asteroid City főszerepeiben világhírű sztárok brillíroznak, a mellészereplői gárda pedig olyan népszerű, kritikusok által is elismert színészeket vonultat fel, mint Jeffrey Wright (Westworld, No Time To Die), Tilda Swinton (Suspiria, Michael Clayton), Adrien Brody (The Pianist, The Darjeeling Limited), Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad, Trumbo) és Edward Norton (Glass Onion, Birdman). A történet 1955 körül játszódik egy fiktív sivatagi városban, Amerika délnyugati részén. Az évente megrendezett Aszteroida-napi ünnepségre az ország minden tájáról összegyűlnek az ifjú csillagászok és űrkadétok – ám a tudományos versenyt fenekestül felforgatják a bekövetkező események. Az ifjú csillagászok eredményeinek tiszteletére rendezett ünnepségen ugyanis váratlan látogató jelenik meg: egy földönkívüli. Az Asteroid Cityt lezárják, és a hadsereg hamis fedősztorival igyekszik leplezni az igazságot, de a koraérett zsenik – Spielberg klasszikus filmjeinek ifjú hőseihez hasonlóan – kieszelnek egy tervet, hogy a külvilág tudomást szerezzen az eseményekről. Ám Andersonról lévén szó, a történet természetesen ennél jóval többről szól. Visszatérve keletre, az Asteroid City szereplői egy színdarab bemutatására készülnek, amelynek a címe „Asteroid City”. Itt 1955 körül kukkantunk be a kulisszák mögé, és ismerjük meg az előadókat. A színházi színészek, akiknek nevét hamarosan szárnyára kapja a hírnév, épp színészi játékukat csiszolják tökéletesre. A film kétségtelenül ugyanolyan vicces, mint Anderson bármelyik műve, de kozmikusabb is: a bonyolult családi kapcsolatok és új románcok, szülők és gyerekek, titkok, felfedezések és a felnőttek kijátszásának befelé forduló, személyes vizsgálata, a széles Nyugat és a szürke Kelet, mindez olyan tökéletes egyensúlyban egymással, amire csak Wes Anderson képes. A népszerű mellékszereplő-gárda olyan színészeket vonultat fel, mint Liev Schreiber (Ray Donovan, X-Men Origins: Wolverine), Hope Davis (Your Honor, Succession), Stephen Park (The French Dispatch, Fargo), Rupert Friend (The Young Victoria, Pride & Prejudice), Maya Hawke (Stranger Things, Do Revenge), Steve Carell (The Office, The Morning Show), Matt Dillon (There’s Something About Mary, The House That Jack Built), Hong Chau (The Whale, The Menu), Willem Dafoe (Spider-Man-filmek , The Florida Project), Margot Robbie (Barbie, Suicide Squad, I, Tonya), Tony Revolori (The Grand Budapest Hotel, A Marvel-moziverzum Spider-Man-filmjei ), Jake Ryan (Moonrise Kingdom, Eighth Grade) és Jeff Goldblum (Jurassic Park-filmek , Independence Day).

Exhibition | Ah New Riddim: A Marked (Black) Axiological Shift at Cuchifritos Gallery + Project Space

Can the axiologies and stories oscillating at the margins mark the discourse of Western logic positioned at the center, and how might this marking register in visual representations of the urban?

Ah New Riddim (2023) is the third and final iteration of the multimedia series Constructs and Context Relativity (2019-2023) by interdisciplinary artist Christie Neptune. The installation and interactive documentary examines the spatial-temporal relationship of memory and place embedded within the implosion of dancehall culture in East Flatbush. The film utilizes 80’s dancehall archival footage, the quiet of black subjectivity, and concentric interactive storytelling to expound the relationship between black globality and dancehall in the American urban. In a pivot around her embodied experience as a black Caribbean American, Neptune considers the potential of black popular culture in marking space.

In Ah New Riddim, concentric storytelling registers a cacophony of black perspectives. Neptune’s subjective experience in the American urban and the migration stories of community members in East Flatbush pivot around dancehall home video of Neptune’s father. Research, writing, and art produced from this series work to frame an artistic intelligence around Marked Axiological Shifts, a concept introduced by Neptune in a recent essay that defines a new language in visual culture grounded in African world-making cosmologies.

Marked Axiological Shifts are nonlinear and interactive artistic approaches that register a perpetual reimagining of black futures across space and time. It marks the decorum of modern cinema and visual culture with the conventions of African temporality to foster multiple planes of perspectives and fields of movement within concentric forward moving narratives mapped across moving images, sculpture, performance art, and print. In this exhibition, six channels of video interface with scaffolded speakers made of mirror, LED monitors, and wood. The speakers, a re-articulation of the Caribbean Sound System tradition, add further nuance to the filmic encounter in space. As material, screen, haptic surface, and sculptural unit, the sound system transmits information that doubles the spectator’s spatial perception. Upon contact, the spectator experiences temporal disjuncture caused by the collapse of their point of view, embodied form, and projected media upon the unit’s reflective surface. The gesture fosters multiple fields of viewing within a single expressive form, an element integral to African frameworks of temporality.

Ah New Riddim demonstrates the potential of black popular culture within representational practices that speaks across both dominant and marginal spatialities. This new framework of understanding considers the agency of marked axiological shifts within discursive urban space, an intervention that superimposes a wide aperture of black subjectivity(s) upon the narrow plane of the American urban.

This exhibition draws from Christie Neptune’s research paper “Ah New Riddim: A Marked (Black) Axiological Shift Across Space and Time” [READ HERE]

Judex (1963)

Halloween, or indeed any costume party, is among other things a measure of one’s character and moral fiber.  Most folks are content to phone it in, whether with something from the local Spirit Halloween or what have you.  But everyone has that one friend who is VERY into Halloween and puts A LOT of effort into their look.  Bless them, because for every one of those, there are six generic hot girls who think putting on cat ears and making a dot on their nose and mascara whiskers counts as a fun costume.  I deride Marie Verdier for her pathetic attempt at a heist disguise, but honestly she kills it through the rest of the film, turning a lewk whether she’s an evil nun or an evil mod suit gal pulling it off even better than the likes of Tilda Swinton could ever hope to do so.  My gal has her cat eye on point whether she’s breaking into mansions, swindling ambulance drivers, or plummeting off of rooftops.  That said, nothing is quite so striking as Judex’ entrance into the film.   A man in a bird mask which outdoes anything anyone else at the pageant could hope to do—the masquerade is 90% boring pedestrian shit, 10% BIRB SQUAD RISE UP—enters, does dove-based magic tricks, and then slays the host with a gesture at the stroke of midnight.  The obvious comparison to draw here (or one of the front-runners, at least) is to Batman.  But here, Judex does everything the Adam West Batman series could do, but better.  A more based socialist agenda: he kills an evil venture capitalist banker and then apparently fucking resurrects him once his daughter proves she has a conscience.  A better persona and a more hilariously impractical commitment to the bit: make a really well-crafted mask for your big reveal, but then lean on… carrier pigeons for your instant alert signal.  Could there not be some kind of Bird Signal in the sky?  In a world where buggies need candles as headlights, I suppose that would be a tough ask.  We also get more enjoyable campy villains in Marie and her cadre of ghouls, Marie slipping into the catsuit and exploiting every possible angle as she hustles her way to riches, paired off with incompetence on the part of Judex: he’s a genius and yet somehow still places faith in the bumbling detective Cocantin who would much rather be reading something.  Pure rip-roaring fun through and through.

The film closes with an intertitle reference to the silent serial to which it is paying homage, acknowledging its source as something as a product of a darker time.  But truly, this sort of entertainment is evergreen and always needed.  This is a cousin of the likes of Adéla ještě nevečeřela and Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro, reaching back to a bygone era to realize that, yeah.  Sometimes we just need unhinged nonsense where the bad guy is an unambiguous monster and a little magic and circumstance can get you a long way. 

THE RULES

SIP

An intertitle appears onscreen.

Marie is a style icon.

Sci-fi shenanigans.

Cocantin is utterly useless, but at least he likes his stories.

Someone faints.

BIG DRINK

A clock starts chiming.

Someone gets conked over the head.

Someone is introduced.

Dream cast for a new P&P movie or limited series?

Like for reals? If I had unlimited budget

Nicholas Hoult as Fitzwilliam Darcy

Olivia Cooke as Elizabeth Bennett

Millie Bobby Brown as Georgiana Darcy

John Boyega as Charles Bingley

Tessa Thompson as Caroline Bingley

Sarah Bolger as Jane Bennet

Maisie Williams As Lydia Bennet

Colin O'Donoghue as George Wickham

Savannah Steyn as Charlotte Lucas

Rupert Grint as Mr Colins

Lewis Tan as Darcy's hotter cousin Colonel Fitzwilliam

Anthony Hopkins as Mr Bennett Fiona Shaw as Mrs Bennet

Also I know that nothing tops Dame Judy dench. But I'd love to see Tilda Swinton pay Lady Catherine in all her scary beautiful glory.

Can't think of who would be good to play Mary and Kitty but so far. Yeah this is my Dreamcast if a big budget studio decided to take on the project.

Marisol Swinton

Name: Marisol Swinton Nickname: Marie Love Interest: Jamie Shroud Appearance: Curling caramel hair, honey eyes.  Marisol prefers dresses but often ends up wearing jumpers when she gets cold... which happens a lot. Marisol tends to look far more innocent than she is. Height: 5′6 History: Marie has always been afraid to admit her history, but when Jamie and his sister move to town she can’t ignore it. Her need, thirst, for love rises and she flees despite the draw to get to know the man.  Marie’s past is littered with blood and bodies. Some blood was her own, being a muddled crossbreed has ended in tears every time she dares to want a daughter, even with sperm donors, but she tries the best to love herself all the same.  Marie hides who she is but she works hard to prove herself as a historian, making friends with Jamie almost accidentally, so when his warmth and gruffness lights a fire in her, she runs... until she meets him again. The truth comes out and she waits, hopes and dreams of love.

03. Film - A Bigger Splash

Year - 2015 Director - Luca Guadagnino Cast - Tilda Swinton, Ralph Fiennes, Dakota Johnson, Matthias Shoenaerts Cinematographer - Yorick Le Saux Rating - 5/10 For fans of - Call Me By Your Name, Closer, Malcolm & Marie

What it is.

A famous rockstar named Marianne (Swinton) takes a retreat in a coastal Italian town after having an operation on her vocal cords. Unable to speak, she rests with her partner Paul (Shoenaerts) until her ex-partner, Harry (Fiennes) suddenly shows up with his daughter (Johnson).

Unable to accept Marianne’s new happiness and calmness with her new partner, Harry sets out to disrupt their relationship. Relentless and narcissistic, we watch as everyone around Harry is slowly pulled into his game as they become consumed by trying to resist it.

What rates it.

The cinematography is exceptional and the close-up shots of people using their hands and toes to complete everyday tasks builds up tension in the most artistic way.

The storyline is predictable which is what disappointed me. A personal gripe for me is when everyone in the film wants to have sex with one another. It cheapens the experience of humanity and reduces us all to animals which, often is the point of these storylines but I still can’t help but roll my eyes at them.
