The seven of swords

Dit it take me two weeks to come up with a subject for this card? Maybe.

This card is a sneaky one - it represents secret plans, doing something covertly, using ones wits for solving a problem rather than aggression. However it also represents an impulsive and rashly taken decision, too much planning for a bad outcome, even betrayal! So many of Peter Lorre’s films have brainy characters who plan everything meticulously only to end up in failure, but none are exactly impulsive.

Except for Paynter in Double Confession. Paynter, the American hoodlum with his undying loyalty towards Bexhill-on-Sea’s local crook Charlie Durham (played by William Hartnell). The entire film consists of blackmail, plots to murder, and every single character could be featured on this card. But Paynter is probably the best one - he is rash, impulsive, he comes up with all kinds of schemes to kill Jim Medway, and in the end he is betrayed by his own boss. It’s a messy film, but this is a messy card, so it fits. Once again I substituted the Rider-Waits’ symbolism with my own - having several of the swords hidden in the shadows of the blinds in the background (shadows being the Noir favourite for secrecy), the figures of Paynter and Hartnell plotting together, and the switchblade and the dagger-shaped tie-pin being the last two swords on the card.

Peter Lorre and William Hartnell, "Double Confession," 1950.

God, Peter's gorgeous with that smile. He manages to take up more than 3/4s of the screen even though he's standing in only half. Hartnell was no match for him. Peter should have been the lead. (Sorry, First Doctor!)

🤡 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?

Thanks so much for this, my dear @veryflowerobservation. Prudie in the Like Someone AU has some lines that have made me laugh (I hope others find them funny too?)

Most recently, in A Rose in December I liked this exchange:

“You rang just in time. We carved the bird but ‘aven't sat down yet,” Prudie explained, carefully articulating her words to sound more sober than she was. 

“Tell ‘im there’s enough bird ‘ere to go ‘round!” Tina called out, filterless as usual. In the background Ross could hear others--men and women--who appreciated the bawdy humour of their hostesses.

“Yes, well I won't keep you, I just wanted to wish you Merry Christmas,” Ross muttered growing uncomfortable of how to execute his task.

“Well, look my dear, I’ve got the wishbone,” Prudie began, then shouted to her cousin, “Nay, Tina! I told you this is one bone you don’t get to ‘ave. Or at least I get it first.”

-- AND--

In We Don't Reach Back (another installment in the series yet to come) there's this bit, which I had posted to Tumblr before, probably on a WIP Wednesday:

“Dry January, my arse!  An’ just when were you goin’ to tell me? You think ole Prudie wouldn’t know? What are you, three months forward? No, must be four--yer face is as puffy as a trigger fish!” 

“A what?” Demelza stammered, although not really surprised that the woman had put two and two together.

“You en’t a pudge, mind,” Prudie said. “Not in yer belly at least.”

“You mean not yet,” Demelza couldn’t contain a smile. It was too late to deny anything. The cat was most certainly out of the bag.

“Forget this dry shite--you know they say a good stout will make yer milk come in. An’ with those beansy tits of yours, you’ll need all the help you can get, girl.”

Unpopular Opinion Time

*Whispers* I never liked Jud and Prudie, not in the series, and not in the books.  I find them annoying, and am always happy when I get to that part of the books where they are fired.  

That’s it.

Dear OnlyFans sockpuppet accounts suddenly following this page:

Why?

(Video clip from "Double Confession," a 1950 British crime film starring William Hartnell of First Doctor Who fame. Peter Lorre plays Paynter.)

(Also if they are bots, they aren't gonna answer, but someone set them up at some point.)

Ask yourself honestly: what are you willing to do to make science more equitable, and in doing so, whose voice must be centred?

REVIEW

To the Gates of Hell by David Nix

Jake Paynter #3

 Sweeping Western that had me hooked till the very end. Not sure if this is a trilogy or if there will be more about Jake in the future. If not, perhaps a spin-off with Gus and Stacy? Great story!

 What I liked:

* Jake: has come a long way from book one, condemned, pardoned, almost mythic, good leader, great friend, better than he realizes, might get the girl in the end

* Rosalyn: teacher, sister, adopted daughter, on the outs with her brother, interested in Jake, strong, never gives up

* Gus: Jake’s war buddy and friend, buffalo soldier, wise, good man, interested in Stacy

* Stacy: daughter of wagon train leader, half Shoshone, a bit of a tomboy, likes Gus

* Beah Nooki: Shoshone elder, wise man, good friend, through many wars, difficult backstory

* Jake’s horse – she has a lot of heart and personality

* The start that set up the story and began the chase

* That some of the bad guys are not totally evil

* The way most of the people living in South Pass worked together for the benefit of all

* That the Native Americans were not the bad guys and were helpful

* That I could hate the bad guys and hope they received a bitter end

* That some that seemed irredeemable proved perhaps otherwise

* The writing, pace, plot, and setting

* The twist at the end

* That all of the loose ends were tied up at the end of the third book – no cliffhanger

* Wondering if this is a trilogy and complete, if there will be a spin-off, or if more of Jake will be seen in the future

 What I didn’t like:

* Who and what I was meant not to like

* Knowing that some people, in any era, are as evil as the ones in this book

* Having to say goodbye to the characters

 Did I enjoy this book? Yes

Would I read more by this author? Yes

 Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks for the ARC – This is my honest review.

 Fans of William Johnstone and Ralph Compton will love this action-packed historical western featuring a lone gunman and the people he's tasked with protecting. Jake Paynter escaped the noose, but the price of salvation is pain. Since reluctantly accepting the marshal's job at South Pass City, Jake's life has become an unending run of solving other people's problems. When outlaw boss Dutch van Zandt and his ruthless band mount a campaign of mayhem in Jake's corner of the Wyoming Territory, Jake learns that Lucien Ashley, his persistent adversary, may be aiding the criminals to expand his burgeoning cattle fortune. The fact that Lucien is the brother of Rosalyn, a woman Jake admires, complicates matters. Determined to thwart van Zandt and Lucien, Jake recruits a posse of old friends and former platoon-mates that puts the outlaw gang on the run. When Lucien betrays van Zandt, the outlaw leader loots Jake's town and takes captive Rosalyn and four children. With friends few and enemies in abundance, Jake must thread a harrowing needle to run down van Zandt in the rugged Wyoming wilderness and save Rosalyn and the children without ending up in a shallow grave.
