A Small Rant/Vent on Power Ranger’s Dimensions In Danger
Tumblr media
Hi everyone, I had a small question and pondering thought I’d like to ask you all about concerning the 25th anniversary episode of Super Ninja Steel. 
Am I the only one who thought that whole better than Legendary Battle and Clash of the Red rangers, Dimensions in Danger was still a bit underwhelming?
Like it’s cool that we got to see past rangers such as TJ, Katherine, Trent, Wes, Jemma, etc. BUT, Tommy is the only one that gets much of anything to do as they’re just there for the sake of it being the 25th anniversary of Power Rangers. TJ and Trent being two of my personal favorite male rangers only getting like 1 or 2 lines of dialogue. It’s also weirdly framed to where the characters that directly talk to Tommy are people who if I remember correctly don’t or haven’t on-screen had any relationship with him.
And on a last note, when and how did Tommy make the master morpher?

The Battle of Preston, 17th-19th August 1648: ‘It is Scotland and Scotland Only that can Save the King and England,’
The Third Invasion of England
Tumblr media
English Civil War by Chris Collingwood. Source: Blog Preston website
ALTHOUGH HAMILTON had been granted an army of 30,000 men to take the war into England once more, he never managed to recruit that number. Many Scots were outraged that the Engager government should consider rescuing a King whom they had fought for a decade, from their former English allies. They felt the Engagers were at best naive to trust the word of a recognised deceiver like Charles or, at worst, hopeless dupes of the King. Many ministers actively preached against the enterprise, claiming that Hamilton’s league with the English Royalists was a betrayal of everything the Scottish Covenant had stood for. As a result, recruitment avoidance and desertion was common, with many men seeking to avoid the campaign altogether. There was even some fighting between Engager troops and Scots who considered themselves true Covenanters. Hamilton was untroubled. As far as he was concerned, the imperative was to defeat the New Model Army and with it the English Independents. Once Charles was restored to his throne, the scourge of Leveller radicalism eradicated and Presbyterianism introduced to both Kingdoms by a chastened Charles, the dissenters would soon see the wisdom of the Engager position.
In the event, on 8th July 1648, Hamilton led just 10,000 men south of the border, but it was an army of the untrained and the unwilling - a shadow of the Covenanter force that had proved so proficient in the Second Bishops’ War and at Marston Moor. The English Royalists had however rallied in anticipation of the Scottish invasion, and it was the strength of returning commanders such as Sir Marmaduke Langdale, leading a reformed version of his old Northern Horse, and who established themselves in the north west, principally around Carlisle, which persuaded Hamilton to move his troops into Cumbria and Lancashire, rather than take the route south through the north east and Yorkshire, previously favoured by the Scots. This was also the direction anticipated by the Parliamentary commander defending against the invasion, Sir John Lambert. Although Hamilton reached Carlisle in early July and saw off the Parliamentary forces surrounding the town, his progress thereafter was slow. The summer of 1648 turned out to be one of the coldest and wettest in English history, turning roads into quagmire, destroying crops and creating a sense of intense misery on the part of the soldiers of both sides. It was 14th July before the Scots struggled into Penrith. By this time, Cromwell had relieved Pembroke and was intent on driving north to reinforce Lambert. Hamilton was aware that he needed to engage the Parliamentary army soon and defeat it, before the English Royalist rebellions were suppressed or fizzled out, and the opportunity for victory was lost.
Hamilton was reinforced by a detachment of Ulster Scots, battle hardened from the Irish rebellion. Instead of deploying these veterans into the heart of his army, Hamilton, unable to control disputes amongst his high command, in this case between the Ulster commander, the Earl of Callandar, and the Scots generals, principally William Baillie, instead asked the Ulstermen to garrison Penrith, which both infuriated Callendar and meant the most experienced men of the Engager force were not even properly deployed in the campaign. However, Hamilton did succeed in linking up with Langdale’s cavalry, creating a force of some 15,000 men. Lambert in the meantime was trying to second guess the Engager plans, unclear whether the Scots would head for Royalist Wales, take the more direct route south via Yorkshire, or to continue their slow progress through Lancashire. By early August, Cromwell had arrived to take charge of the Parliamentary force. He had only brought 4,000 men, so the two armies were evenly matched even though at this point neither knew where the other were. In the event, both forces, marching on opposite sudes of the River Ribble, began to converge on Preston.
On 15th August, Hamilton ordered his forces to enter the town, but soon heard from Langdale that his troops were under attack from Cromwell’s Ironsides on Ribbleton Moor. Both Langdale and Hamilton assumed these were speculative attacks by skirmishers, until it became clear that contact had been made with the whole of Cromwell’s army, now 8,600 strong, and that battle had effectively commenced. The fighting between Langdale and Cromwell was an intense affair, on sodden terrain distinguished by narrow roads and ditches. If Hamilton had reinforced Langdale at that point, the battle may have had a different outcome, but he was persuaded by Callendar that without the Scottish horse, now far to the south on a foraging mission under John Middleton, such an attack on seasoned New Model troopers could end in disaster. Hamilton took this advice, continued his advance into the town and left the heavily outnumbered Langdale to his own devices. After four hours of fighting, Langdale’s troops eventually retreated into Preston in disarray, marking the final defeat of the Northern Horse by the forces of Parliament.
Cromwell now pressed his advantage and sought to enter Preston by its two bridges, both now heavily defended by the Royalists. A huge “push of the pike” ensued in which the Parliamentarians gradually gained the advantage, until night fell, resulting in a stand off. The Royalist council of war, obsessed with linking up with Middleton’s cavalry, resolved to leave Preston and try to rendezvous with the Scottish horse at Wigan. To add farce to what was rapidly collapsing into a disaster for the Royalists, Middleton’s troopers were at that moment racing towards Preston via Chorley, and the two forces, on different roads, missed each other entirely. On 18th August, Cromwell’s cavalry at last encountered that of Middleton resulting in a hard fight from which no victor emerged. In the meantime, Baillie’s foot were pursued all the way to Warrington, where they were brought to battle at Winwick on the 19th. Wet, demoralised, and lacking in powder, having left most of their munitions in Preston due to the forced march south, the Scots fought with desperate courage, but ultimately they were surrounded thanks to a circling manoeuvre by Cromwell’s cavalry, and broke and fled. Alone in a foreign land the Scottish soldiers surrendered to Roundheads and the people of Warrington alike. 10,000 men of the Engager army were taken prisoner. The defeat of the invasion, and that of the Royalist cause, was complete.
Hamilton fled Warrington with the remnants of Middleton’s cavalry, but along with Langdale and Middleton himself, was eventually captured by Parliamentary forces. Hamilton was put on trial for treason under his English title of Earl of Cambridge, found guilty and executed: a sign, perhaps of the merciless times to come. The news of Preston brought all residual Royalist rebellion in England to an end and a wholesale insurrection against the Engager party in Scotland. This did not stop Cromwell from marching his New Model troops to the Scottish border and securing the return of Carlisle and Berwick from the restored Covenanter Scottish government. Cromwell nontheless wanted to ensure freelance Scottish negotiation with the King would end. In late September, his army entered Scotland and on 4th October it occupied Edinburgh without resistance. He imposed terms on the Covenanters, but they were not particularly harsh: all Engager military units were to be disbanded, all those who supported the Engagement were to be banned from public office, and all pro-Engagement ministers were to be removed from the Church of Scotland. Although there could be no real agreement between the Independent Cromwell, who believed in religious toleration as fundamental principle of his political and religious faith and the sectarian Presbyterians of what was now known as the “Kirk Party”, Cromwell left Scotland confident that its interference in English affairs, at least for now, was over. He and his army returned to England for a reckoning : not just with a recalcitrant Parliament but, ultimately, also with the blasphemous monarch who had recklessly unleashed war on his Kingdoms once again, against God’s will. For the radicals in the New Model Army, there could be no more negotiations with “the man of blood”.

Double Bill: Years Where A Director Made Multiple Movies - Part 1
It doesn’t happen very often, but every now and again, a film director releases multiple films in a singular year. Whilst sometimes it can be as simple as a film being held back for a period of time, other times it can be an example of a director having an amazingly productive year (yes, a slight sound of envy there). Curious about how often it happens, I decided to look back at some favourite directors and their release periods, quickly finding a surprising list of examples.
Because of that, I thought I’d do a couple of articles naming some examples, how both films performed and the comparisons between the two. They may also be a good opportunity for some unique movie marathon sessions?
Tumblr media
One of the first I found was an Oliver Stone double bill from 1986, with James Woods starring in Salvador as an American photojournalist covering the Salvadoran Civil War, and Charlie Sheen in the classic Platoon, a near-autobiographical depiction of the Vietnam war as inspired by Stone’s own experiences. The two movies do have similarities in terms of focusing on an outsider trying to survive in a foreign war, Woods’ journalist more experienced in comparison to Sheen’s novice soldier. Interestingly, both films were a struggle to get made until Stone met British film producer John Daly, who agreed to finance both.
Salvador was commercially unsuccessful yet netted Woods an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor, and Best Screenplay for Stone and Richard Boyle, but paled in comparison to Platoon, where it was a critical and financial success, with Academy Award nominations for Best Cinematography, Best Screenplay again (this time solo for Stone), and Best Supporting Actor for both Willem Dafoe and Tom Berenger, and victories for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Film Editing and Best Sound. As a double bill, they offer fascinating depictions of introduction to foreign war, and are unflinching in the true horrors that exist.
Tumblr media
Thirteen years later, Joel Schumacher was recovering from the critical bashing of Batman and Robin, and attempted a double bill comeback in 1999. The first was a Nicholas Cage-starring crime thriller called 8MM, and the second was a surprisingly smaller character based drama called Flawless, which featured Robert De Niro and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
The interesting element was the realisation that despite the issues with Batman and Robin, Schumacher still had the ability to interest two of the bigger dramatically respected actors in the world at the time. Both films put the focus on the actors, with Cage a classic noir private investigator, while De Niro played a security guard dealing with a stroke, demonstrating his tough man style with a vulnerability from his conversations with drag queen Rusty, played by Hoffman.
These two films seem an interesting double bill to watch when taking into consideration Batman and Robin, as both films are scaled back in comparison and demonstrate Schumacher’s ability with actors. 
Tumblr media
Finally, we have Sidney Lumet, one of the most respected film directors of the last hundred years and his work from 1973. That year, Lumet directed two films that focused on police officers but from two different perspectives. The first is the British-based The Offence, while the second is the American-based Serpico.
The latter is the better known of the films, focusing on the real life tale of New York city based undercover police officer Frank Serpico, played by Al Pacino and dealing with the corrupt actions of his colleagues, eventually testifying against them. A widescale Crime Drama, Serpico is remembered for over 100 speaking parts and locations, as well as encompassing eleven years during Serpico’s time with the police force.
In comparison, The Offence is a much smaller and more intimate piece, focusing on interviews / interrogations between Sean Connery’s detective Johnson and his wife Maureen, Detective Superintendent Cartwright, and suspected child molester Kenneth Baxter. Despite both films dealing with the main character struggling with the world they inhabit, The Offence focuses more on a character committing a crime whereas Serpico revolves around an incorruptible hero.
However, what both films achieve are some of the best performances from both actors. This was one of Connery’s first major roles after finishing with the James Bond role, demonstrating a depth he rarely got to exhibit, while Pacino won a Golden Globe for his subtly intense somberness. Lumet was regularly credited for bringing out some actors best performances, so this double bill offers a fascinating depiction of the complex emotions for police officers.
