“This was the most physically taxing of all the film because of the lightsaber duels. Everytime I wasn’t shooting, I was rehearsing. Something that took weeks and weeks to shoot, even though it only lasts a few minutes on film. So it taxed me to the limit.”

Douglas: Puddleglum is not just based on Fred Paxford, he is Fred Paxford. And he was a wonderful man. But he did have this uncanny and kind of slightly weird habit of always suggesting that the very worst was going to happen. If you said, 'good morning, Fred.' He was likely to say, 'arh. Might be alright now, but it'll hail or rain or snow la'er on, you wait and see.' It's the middle of the summer. And I remember one day when Warnie came into the kitchen, Fred did a lot of the shopping for us.. and he used to buy a quarter of a pound of sugar for a household of about five or six people. One day Warnie just lost it a bit and said, 'Fred, why do you keep buying such a small quantity of sugar? You know we need far more than that.' Fred looked him up and down and said, 'arh, Major, but what would happen if world come to an end, where would we be with four, five pound of sugar on our hands?' Walter: I told him one time that my favorite character was Puddleglum in the Silver Chair. And he said, 'Well you know Puddleglum pretty well, you've met him a number of times. He's Paxford the gardener. I based it on him.' Paxford was the most pessimistic man who ever lived. But one of the nicest. He said when he and Joy were going to Greece in 1960, Joy's cancer had returned. He said, 'here am I, an old man walking with a stick, Joy with cancer returned, what were we doing going to Greece of all places? He said 'the last straw seemed to have arrived when Paxford came out to say goodbye to us. He was always listening to the wireless, the radio. And he said, "Well, Mr. Jack, there was this airplane that's just gone down. Everybody killed and burnt beyond recognition. Did you hear that, Mr. Jack? Burnt beyond recognition." 'And on that note,' said Lewis, 'We flew to Greece.'

"I’m personally a Holocaust survivor as an infant, I barely survived.

My grandparents were killed in Aushwitz and most of my extended family were killed.

I became a Zionist; this dream of the Jewish people resurrected in their historical homeland and the barbed wire of Aushwitz being replaced by the boundaries of a Jewish state with a powerful army…and then I found out that it wasn’t exactly like that, that in order to make this Jewish dream a reality we had to visit a nightmare on the local population.

There’s no way you could have ever created a Jewish state without oppressing and expelling the local population. Jewish Israeli historians have shown without a doubt that the expulsion of Palestinians was persistent, pervasive, cruel, murderous and with deliberate intent - that’s what’s called the 'Nakba' in Arabic; the 'disaster' or the 'catastrophe'.

There’s a law that you cannot deny the Holocaust, but in Israel you’re not allowed to mention the Nakba, even though it’s at the very basis of the foundation of Israel.

I visited the Occupied Territories (West Bank) during the first intifada. I cried every day for two weeks at what I saw; the brutality of the occupation, the petty harassment, the murderousness of it, the cutting down of Palestinian olive groves, the denial of water rights, the humiliations...and this went on, and now it’s much worse than it was then. It’s the longest ethnic cleansing operation in the 20th and 21st century.

I could land in Tel Aviv tomorrow and demand citizenship but my Palestinian friend in Vancouver, who was born in Jerusalem, can’t even visit! So then you have these miserable people packed into this, horrible…people call it an 'outdoor prison', which is what it is. You don’t have to support Hamas policies to stand up for Palestinian rights, that’s a complete falsity.

You think the worse thing you can say about Hamas, multiply it by a thousand times, and it still will not meet the Israeli repression and killing and dispossession of Palestinians.

And 'anybody who criticises Israel is an anti-Semite' is simply an egregious attempt to intimidate good non-Jews who are willing to stand up for what is true."

I will forever respect Animorphs for tricking kids who are just really into animals to read a book series by going “Hey you, you daydream about what it’s like to be a dolphin or a bird or a wolf? Have I got a book for you!” and then slowly radicalizing them with 50+ books of “There are no winners in war. Whatever ‘victory’ you perceive comes at the cost of sacrificing your own morals and killing the part of you that is human. In the end you will resort to murder, torture and war crimes and the knowledge of what you have done will haunt you for as long as you live.”

Imagine if you had a neighbour who keeps performing songs from Phantom of the Opera in his apartment every night, by himself but accompanied by a parrot, which he has taught to sing Christine's part. Admittedly it's kind of obnoxious but you are far too baffled to even be properly annoyed. And also you don't want to confront someone with that kind of power and determination. So every once in a while you just hear this guy dramatically bellow

"SING FOR ME!"

Something something Rule 63...

Lesbian! Raffles and Bunny is actually all I need to ascend to a greater plane of existance

#as much as girls are fun #I do appreciate that Raffles and Bunny are gay/bi men in a time where it was dangerous and illegal to be so #Lesbians flew under the radar MUCH EASIER than gay men did as women were basically considered sexless #rule 63 is fun but there is def something compelling about their gender + sexualities + time of the stories #I say all this having drawn lesbians #IT'S AN INTERESTING CONVERSATION THO!!!!!!!!! #okmll #raffles art

SUSAN KAY’S “PHANTOM”.

I got to notice that there are people who have never had a chance to see Susan Kay’s adaptation of “Phantom” (or even knew of its existence), so I thought it would be nice to share it with them.

Part 1 (”The Unkissed Child”):

Part 2 (”The Kiss of Christine”):

- https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Wr4y1P7oK/?spm_id_from=333.999.0.0

As was the case with the 2021 adaptation of Yeston & Kopit’s “The Phantom of the Opera”, however, I could not find a subtitled version (I’m not even sure it exists, actually. 😳😳😳).
