Matilda the Musical
Tumblr media
Movies watched in 2022
Matilda the Musical (2022, UK/USA)
Director: Matthew Warchus
Writer: Dennis Kelly (and songs by Tim Minchin)
Mini-review:
I'm not gonna lie, there are few musical movies I haven't enjoyed, so I knew I was going to like this from the beginning, more so considering I used to love the first Matilda movie as a child. This one is well made and it really captures everything that makes this story special. It also changes up just the right amount of things, so it still holds some surprises for people who are familiar with the older movie or the book. It's clear that Matthew Warchus knows how to make a crowd-pleasing movie (if you haven't watched Pride (2014), then you should do so now) and his skills are on show here from the very first scene. The entire cast clearly had a blast making it, too, and it's overall a very fun watch.

Human Touch ~ Chapter Two
Summary: Frerin Durin had the perfect life, until he found out his wife was cheating on him. Now, he’s navigating uncharted territory as an about-to-be divorced single dad. Dating is a mess, he’s dealing with the fallout where his kids are concerned, and really, he would just love a vacation away from all of it. 
Elena Madison is new to Sidleburg, new to the history department at the high school, and also navigating life as a newly single parent. The last thing she needed was for her daughter to come down sick, when she hasn’t even had time to unpack the moving boxes, never mind find a pediatrician. And the last thing she ever expected was to meet a man like Dr. Frerin Durin…
Neither Elena nor Frerin were looking for anything, but fate has a way of messing up even the best laid plans. However, both have been hurt and both aren't at all sure they trust themselves, never mind trusting someone else...

“Frerin?”
Frerin looked up as Carol Kingsley came into the lounge. “Are the results back for Alyssa Madison yet?”
“They are. You were right. Just the flu.”
“Good.” He stood up, stretching his arms overhead, and bowed his back, letting out a low sigh of appreciation as his spine popped. “I’m getting too old for overnights.”
“Well, at least you’ve had a slow night.”
“I don't know that’s much better actually.” He took the lab slips from her. “Thanks, Carol.”
“Sure. Hey, how is everything?”
“Truth?”
“Truth.”
“It sucks. I don't know how you’ve been doing this for as long as you have.”
“I don't have a choice, same as you.” Carol tugged a chair out and sank into it. “How’s Flynn doing?”
“He’s seeing a therapist. We talked about his changing schools, but he decided he wants to stay where his friends are and graduate with them next year, so there’s that. I mean, they all know what happened, and they know their mom and I can’t be in the same room together right now without World War Three breaking out. And it just sucks.”
“You know, Alyssa Madison’s mom is pretty cute.”
He peered down at the test results in his hand. Alyssa’s white blood count was higher than normal, but that was to be expected and nothing to be alarmed by. Her other counts were normal or slightly elevated but within a normal range. No cause for concern overall. “Are you trying to get me fired, Carol?”
“Get you fired how? Dating Alyssa would be against the rules. Not to mention creepy as anything. But her mom? That’s fine.”
“Yeah, well, I’m not hitting on the mother of a sick girl tonight. That’s a little far out of my wheelhouse.” He moved to the door and tugged it open. “Thanks for getting these for me.”
“Sure. But, keep her in mind. She was cute.”
He shook his head as he left he lounge. Yes, Elena Madison was cute, but he was not about to hit on her in the middle of the night, in the ER.
Which was a bit too bad, really. Because actually, she was downright hot, as far as he was concerned. She was tiny, maybe a little over five feet tall, if that, with dark hair hastily pulled up into one of those messy bun-things that always made women look adorable. But the first thing he’d noticed about her was her eyes. They were a brown so dark, they looked almost black, and when they met his, he almost sighed out loud. 
And for the first time since he was nineteen years old, Frerin was single. In the midst of an acrimonious divorce, maybe, but single. But since this was an ER and not a club or even the damn grocery store, Elena Madison was off-limits.
Figures.
He made his way down the hall, glancing down at the black Apple Watch on his right wrist. Quarter after five. He was supposed to be off at six, just in time to get Flynn and Maura off to school, push through to get Jake to school, then he could sleep. 
Both Elena and Alyssa were asleep, the lights in the room off except for the low one behind Alyssa’s bed. He closed the door softly behind him and came over to see Elena curled in almost a ball in the chair at her daughter’s bedside. 
Carefully, so as not to startle her, he touched her shoulder. “Mrs. Madison?”
She jerked awake.”Yes? I’m up, I swear.”
“It’s all right. I just wanted to give you the results of Alyssa’s bloodwork. No sign of meningitis so it’s probably just the flu. Fluids and rest are all she really needs. Tylenol for the fever and I’d suggest you keep her home from school for the rest of the week. I can write a note for you if you need one, which, since she goes to the same school as my daughter, I know she will.”
Elena sat up, rubbing one eye. “I’d appreciate it, thank you.”
“Sure. Just make sure she rests and she should be fine in a few days. If the fever doesn’t resolve in a day or two, bring her back in and we’ll to the tap, but I don't think that’s going to be necessary.”
She took the paper from him. “I can do that. Thank you so much.”
“No problem. Follow up with your reg—oh, that’s right… you don't have a pediatrician for her. If you want, bring her back in a few days and I’ll take care of her.”
���Here?”
“Pedes is up on the eight floor. Just tell my secretary and she’ll come find me. I’m on nights next week as well, so I’ll be here from six to six at least.”
“Thank you, Dr. Durin.”
He smiled. “Of course. You take care of yourself, too. Don’t let yourself get too run down. Do you have any kind of help?”
“No. It’s just us and we’ve only been here a few weeks.” She folded the lab results and tucked them into her purse. “But we’ll manage.”
“Well, if Alyssa spikes another fever or you do, just come back. Carol always knows where to find me.”
“I will. And again, thank you.”
“You’re welcome. Good luck.” He smiled and looked over at Alyssa. “And don’t worry. She should be just fine.”
“I know, but… you know how it is when it’s your kid. You just want to fix it for them.”
“Yeah. I know. And one of the hardest things as a parent is accepting that you can’t.”
She looked up at him and for a moment, the urge to ask her to grab a cup of coffee while Alyssa slept a little longer hovered at his lips. But before he could, Alyssa stretched and opened her eyes. “Do I need that shot?”
He shook his head. “You don't need any shots or needles, Alyssa. It’s just the flu, so Mom’s going to take you home and tuck you into bed and you can go back to sleep.”
“When can I go back to school?”
“Monday.”
“I’ll email your teachers,” Elena said, patting her through the blanket, “and bring home any work they assign.”
“Do I have to do it?”
“Yes,” Elena and Frerin spoke at the same time and Elena let out a soft laugh. “See? Even your doctor thinks so.”
“Damn,” Alyssa muttered, but she smiled. “Okay.”
“I’ll be right back with your discharge instructions and that note.” Frerin smiled first at Alyssa, then Elena. 
“Thank you, Dr. Durin.”
“You’re welcome. Feel better, Alyssa.”
He stepped out into the hallway in time to see his sister-in-law, Leda, at the registration desk, her and Thorin’s infant daughter Andrea in her arms. “Leda? What’s wrong?”
“Dr. Durin,” the desk clerk, Ashley, looked more than a little nervous, “she said she knew you so I hope it’s okay I buzzed her back.”
“It’s fine, but you should really check with me or whoever before letting anyone here.” He looked from her to Leda, who looked as if she hadn’t slept in days. “What’s wrong?”
“I don't know. Thorin thinks maybe she’s teething, but she’s running a fever and won’t stop crying and he thinks I’m crazy for bringing her here, but—”
“Okay, Leda, it’s fine. You’re lucky. I’m off in a few minutes, so you just caught me. Is Thorin home with James?”
She nodded, setting Andrea’s carrier on the floor. “He’s fine. It’s just… I don't know… I know a lot of stuff is going around and they both have been sick and…”
He smiled, draping an arm about her shoulders. “It’s okay. Come on.” He gave her a squeeze, then crouched to lift the carrier, adding, “Ashley, I’ll be in Curtain Three if anyone comes looking.”
“Okay, Dr. D.”
“Dr. D?” Leda asked with a tired grin as he led her down the short corridor to the curtained areas of the ER.
“Yeah, I know. She’s young.”
“Frer, they’re all young.”
He grinned as he set Andrea’s carrier on the bed and clicked the handle back. “When was the last time you took her temp?”
“About half an hour ago. It was one-oh-one.”
“Is she nursing?”
Leda nodded, rubbing one eye. “She is, but not like she usually does.”
“Is she peeing?”
A tired laugh. “Like a champ.”
“Okay.” He unbuckled the five-point harness and carefully lifted his niece from the fleecy blanket she’d been zipped into. “Hey, honey, you don't mind if Uncle Frerin takes a look, right?”
Andrea’s eyes were deep blue and wide open and she stared at him as if he was the most fascinating thing she’d ever seen. He cradled her against him in one arm and pressed his hand to her forehead, which was warm, but that could have also been from being bundled up. 
Her face scrunched up and she let out a soft cry and without thinking, he pressed a kiss into the top of her head, into the silky almost-black baby hair that poked up from static. “Shhh… it’s okay, little bit.”
From the corner of his eye, he saw Leda wince and as he gently lay Andrea on the bed alongside her carrier, he said, “It really is okay, Leda. She’s a little warm, she’s nursing and making urine, so it’s probably just a virus. First, you’ve got her too bundled up, so I’m just going to peel off a layer.”
“It’s so cold out.”
“It is, but between her sleeper and the fleece snowsuit and the fleece BundleMe? It’s too much.” He unsnapped the fleece snowsuit in question and carefully eased it from Andrea’s arms and legs. First, he took the tympanic thermometer from the basket on its stand, slid a fresh cap onto it and carefully fit it into Andrea’s left ear. She let out a soft giggle, trying to squirm away even as he said, “Hold still, honey…”
It beeped within a few seconds and he smiled when he looked down at the readout. “Her temp’s down to one hundred.” He popped off the prophylactic cap to toss in the trash and returned the thermometer, then turned back to Andrea. He fit the earpieces of his borrowed stethoscope into his ears and unbuttoned the sleeper to press the diaphragm into Andrea’s chest. He moved it and listened. Moved it again and listened. “Her heart and lungs sound fine. Lungs are clear.”
He straightened up. “I can draw blood, if it’d make you feel better, but I don't think it’s really necessary.” 
“Thorin told me I was just being overprotective and that I shouldn’t bother you.”
“It’s not a bother.” He tugged the earpieces free and draped the stethoscope about his neck once more. “You’re her mother, it’s normal to worry when it’s your kid. Trust me, I’ve seen mothers bring in their babies for all kinds of things that wouldn’t phase them if it was themselves. There’s nothing wrong with being careful. And tell Thorin it’s not bothering me at all, okay?”
“You really think I’m just being overly cautious?”
“Leda, there is no such thing.” He tucked Andrea back into her sleeper and buttoned it up. “It’s better to be safe than sorry, and she’s just got a little bit of a cold. Fluids and rest, like I’m telling most of the parents who’ve come through here tonight.”
“Why are you even down here? You’re not an ER doctor.”
“I know, but I’m covering for the usual pediatrician who covers the ER. And,” he looked up at the clock, “my relief should be here and I am off the clock. Just have to run Leigh’s stethoscope back to her and I am out of here until six PM tomorrow.”
“I’m sorry I bothered you, Frerin.”
“Don't be, and it’s not a bother, Leda. Really. I don't mind.” He smiled as he whisked the stethoscope from around his neck. “Give me five minutes to run this upstairs and I’ll walk you out, okay?”
Leda smiled as she tucked Andrea back into her carrier. “Okay.”
“You can wait in the lounge, if you—”
“Excuse me, Dr. Durin?”
Frerin and Leda turned at the same time and Frerin smiled as Elena Madison said, “I’m sorry to interrupt, but the nurse never came back with our discharge information or that note.”
“Really? Okay. Give me five minutes to print them off and then Leda, I’ll go up and drop this off and then we can go.”
Leda smiled. “We’ll wait. In the lounge?”
“Yeah.” He leaned back slightly. “Down the hall, on your right.”
She carried Andrea out of the curtained area, and he turned back to Elena. “Sorry about that. Sometimes orders get lost in the shuffle of shift change. Come with me and I’ll get them for you.”
She followed him back to the main desk and he ducked around to one of the laptops. “What’s the code for this department again?” he asked no one in particular.
“Three-three-one-five, Dr. D.,” Ashley called.
“Thank you.” He typed the code in, hit the button to print, and moved down to the bank of printers at the far end of the station to grab the sheets of as they printed. When the absence note came out, he plucked a pen from the cup on the counter to scrawl his signature across the bottom of it, then plunked the pen back into its cup. “Here you go, Mrs. Madison. I’m sorry about that.”
She took them. “It’s fine. I was just beginning to think we’d been forgotten.”
“Nah. That isn’t going to happen too easily. Take Alyssa home and both of you get some rest,” he came around the edge of the desk to press the sheaf into her hand, “you both have had a long night.”
“You’re not kidding. And believe me,” Elena took the papers, “I’m going to do just that. Thank you again, Dr. Durin.”
“Any time. Have a good night—er, good morning.”
“You, too.”
She turned to go back to Alyssa’s room, while he made his way to the lounge and poked his head in. “I swear, Leda, I’ll be back in just a few minutes.”
“No problem.” Leda smiled. “She was cute, Frerin.”
“Oh, not you, too,” he groaned. “One of the nurses was determined to fix me up with her as well. Her daughter was my patient. Fourteen year old with the flu.”
“And you can’t ask out a patient’s mother?”
He sighed, leaning against the doorjamb. “Technically, yes, I can, but it’s kind of not the right time, considering she brought her daughter in because she was worried about her.”
“Frerin, I’ve seen that look she was giving you. I’m pretty sure it’s how I looked at Thorin before we got together.”
He smiled, shaking his head. “Now is not a good time, Leda. I’m running a short-handed department now, my kid’s in therapy, I’m in the middle of a divorce and my soon to be ex-wife is determined to make my life as miserable as possible over it. Somehow, getting back into the dating pool is not high on my list of priorities.”
“No one says you have to marry her, Frer,” she told him, her blue eyes gleaming with the devil. “Nothing wrong with something casual.”
“Even so, I’m not hitting on her in the ER, Leda. I’m just not. Now, let me go run this back to the nurse who was kind enough to loan it to me, grab my coat, and then I’ll be back, okay?”
“Okay.”
“Good.” He rapped his knuckles against the doorjamb, then left the lounge to head back to the elevator bank. 
He and Toni separated a year ago, and while he’d been out on a few dates, they amounted to nothing more than hours of his life he’d never get back, and even after all this time, he still wasn't comfortable with being single yet. He and Toni had been together since they were nineteen, married at twenty and were parents just three months after their wedding. Their relationship was far from perfect, but the final straw came when he found out she was cheating on him, with a kid only a few years older than their son Flynn. He was no angel, and was guilty of several short-lived but utterly intense affairs as well, but while they’d tried to salvage things before, they both knew it was pointless now. Their marriage was irretrievably broken and there was no fixing it, there’d be no reconciliation. The end had been coming for a long while and her affair with the kid was what it took for them to both finally admit the truth and he’d filed for divorce, and now his focus was on work and the kids and on little else. He just wasn't ready to invest himself again in anything more than that.
“Leigh, thank you for this,” he said as he held out the stethoscope. “Do you think you could order me a pink one?”
“Pink, Frerin?”
He grinned. “A patient thought I should get a pink steth.”
“I’ll talk to Jerry when he comes in later. Any other colors?”
“Nah. Just pink.”
“Go home, Dr. Durin.”
“I am.” He smiled and pushed away from the desk to make his way to his office at the end of the hallway. His secretary, Katie would be in for nine, but for now, all was quiet as he passed her desk to his inner sanctum. 
His black leather bomber jacket hung on a tree just inside the doorway and as he shrugged into it, he looked over at the photos in silver frames on the credenza behind his desk. He and Toni had three kids; two boys, with their daughter sandwiched between them. The divorce was hitting Flynn, their oldest, the hardest, and with a sigh, Frerin wondered—and not for the first time—if maybe he and Toni should have just stayed together until Jake, their youngest, at least graduated high school. 
No, as tough as things were right now, it was a far healthier environment for the kids than being witness to their parents’ increasingly toxic marriage. He didn't know about Toni, but he knew he was happier. Happier than he’d been in a long time. 
Maybe he should have asked Elena Madison to go and grab a cup of coffee or lunch. 
He glanced over at the desktop computer. He could get her number off one of the forms she’d filled out. But that seemed a little underhanded, so maybe not. 
He sighed softly. Damn it.
By the time he got home Flynn and Maura were up and at the table in the kitchen, not talking over cereal. He came in through the kitchen door, shrugging out of his jacket as he said, “Hey, guys. Your brother up yet?”
“Not yet.” Flynn looked up. “How was your shift?”
“Quiet, for the most part. Just a few kids with the flu.” He moved to the Keurig and fired it up. “Maura, do you know Alyssa Madison?”
“Yeah. She’s in my Algebra class. Why?”
“She came into the ER tonight and said she was a freshman, so I just wondered.”
Maura grinned. “Fourteen’s a little young for you, isn’t it, Dad?”
“Ha ha.” He tugged open the drawer under the Keurig to take out a medium roast blend and popped it into the machine. “Anyway, I was just curious. You two got all your homework done last night, right?”
Flynn rolled his eyes. “You ask us every morning. And what do we tell you?”
“Just making sure.” He took the cup off the base and lifted it for a sip, glanced at the microwave clock over the cup’s rim. “You two better get moving.”
Flynn sighed as he walked over to put his cereal bowl in the dishwasher. “We’ve got time, Dad.”
“Only if you catch all the lights and there’s no traffic.” 
“We’ll be fine.”
“I don't want you rushing, Flynn. You’ve only had your license a few months.”
“Dad.”
He smiled at the exasperation in Flynn’s voice, which was almost as deep as his own. “Okay, I’ll stop with the lecture now. Have a good day, both of you. I’ll see you later.”
He moved back to press a kiss into the top of Maura’s nest of dark curls. “Don’t talk your brother’s ear off. He has to concentrate.”
“I won’t, Dad.” Maura picked up her backpack from the chair in the corner and slung it over her shoulder. “C’mon, Flynn.”
“Yeah, yeah.” He clumped out of the kitchen after his sister and Frerin sighed at the soft silence that settled around him. He had half an hour before he had to wake Jake, and so used that time to sit down and write out bills. Then it was time to wake his youngest and get him off to school as well. All that involved was ushering him out to Frerin’s silver Infiniti and buckling him into the backseat.
“Dad?” Jake asked as Frerin headed along Route Seven toward Sidleburg proper. The intermediate school was on the western side of town
He glanced up at the rearview mirror. “Yeah, bud?”
“Do we have to go to Mom’s this weekend?”
“’Fraid so, little man. It’s her weekend.”
“I don't want to go.”
“Why?”
Jake sighed softly. He looked so much like his mother, with a thick mop of dark red curls and wide hazel eyes, where Flynn and Maura had inherited Frerin’s dark hair and blue eyes. “She has a new boyfriend and he’s kind of a jerk.”
Frerin bit back a sigh of his own. “Well, ignore him if you can. You’re there to spend time with her.”
“I know, but… I’d rather stay home.”
“It’s only two days, Jake.”
“Two really long days, Dad.”
He grinned. “I know, but you’ve got your brother and sister there to keep you company.”
“Is Mom ever coming home?”
Frerin angled into the drop off lane at Sidleburg Intermediate School, where Jake was in the fifth grade before saying, “No, Jake. She’s not. We’ve told you, Mom and Dad aren’t going to be living together any longer. We just can’t, Jake. And it’s better that we don’t—for you, for Maura, for Flynn. For all of us.”
He sighed. “I miss when we were a family.”
“Yeah. I know. And I know it sucks sometimes. But, in the long run, it’s better this way.”
“What if she just told you she was sorry?”
“Jake, some day, you’ll understand why that’s not possible. Grownups are complicated and so are relationships and none of us is perfect.”
Jake unbuckled his seatbelt and shoved open the door. “I’ll see you later, Dad. I have to get to class.”
“Jake, I—” He pressed his lips together as Jake slammed the door and ran off to join up with his friends. Just when he thought the kids were acclimating to all of the changes, one of them reminded him it was an ongoing process, getting used to such a change. 
He sighed as he steered back out of the parking lot and headed home. They weren’t the only ones who needed to be reminded it was a process, getting used to the change. But now wasn't the time to dwell on it. Now, he wanted to go home and get some sleep.

He also has a good relationship with both his parents, with a slightly closer relationship with his father than his mother. In addition, he has a close relationship with his cousin, Ian.
Upon starting Hogwarts, Jonah was sorted into Hufflepuff. He joined the quidditch team in his second year as a keeper but in his fourth year, he switched positions to play seeker. He enjoyed spending time at Hogwarts and he really enjoyed playing quidditch. In addition, Jonah’s favorite subject was history of magic, something that he had in common with his father.
After graduating from Hogwarts, Jonah went on to become an archivist for a museum. He had worked for the ministry for a few years, but wasn’t very happy with that work so when a position opened up in a wizarding museum, he eagerly jumped at the opportunity to transfer position.
Trivia:
Jonah’s middle name is after his late paternal grandfather.
Jonah does not like rats, as one bit him when he was a young child and that incident kinda scarred him… when it came to rats, anyways.

Fun fact! Jem was Declan’s original name. In his first iteration, Declan was named James Ryan “Jem” O’Donnell-Lee. Naming Declan’s son, Jem, was a fun nod to that.

 Taylor Alison Swift (born on December 13, 1989) is an American singer-songwriter. Her discography spans multiple generations, and her narrative songwriting—often inspired by her personal life—has received critical praise and media coverage. Born in West Reading, Pennsylvania, Swift moved to Nashville at age of 14 to become a country artist. She signed a songwriting deal with Sony/ATV Music Publishing in 2004 and a recording contract with Big Machine Records in 2005. Her 2006 self-titled debut album made her the first female country singer to write or co-write a U.S. platinum-certified album entirely.
Swift's next albums, Fearless (2008) and Speak Now (2010) explored country pop. The former's "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me" were the first country songs to top the U.S. pop and all-genre  charts, respectively. She experimented with rock and electronic styles on Red (2012), which featured her first Billboard Hot 100 number-one song, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together", and eschew Off Shake It Offffd her country image in her synth-pop album, 1989 (2014), supported by chart-topping songs "Shake It Off", "Blank Space", and "Bad Blood". Media scrutiny inspired the urban-flavored Reputation (2017) and its number-one single "Look What You Made Me Do".
Exiting Big Machine, Swift signed with Republic Records in 2018 and released her seventh studio album, Lover (2019), followed by the autobiographical documentary Miss Americana (2020). She ventured into indie folk and alternative rock in her 2020 albums Folklore and Evermore, whose singles "Cardigan" and "Willow" topped the Hot 100. Swift began re-recording her first six albums after a dispute over their masters, re-releasing two in 2021—Fearless (Taylor's Version) and Red (Taylor's Version). The latter's "All Too Well (10 Minute Version)" became the longest song to top the Hot 100. Her tenth album Midnights (2022) and it's lead single "Anti-Hero" broke numerous streaming records. Swift has self-directed music videos and films, such as All Too Well: The Short Film (2021), and had supporting roles in others.
Having sold over 200 million records globally, Swift is one of the best-selling musicians of all time. She is the only act to have five albums open with over one million copies sold in the US. Among her accolades are 11 Grammy Awards, including three Album of the Year wins; an Emmy Award; 40 American Music Awards; 29 Billboard Music Awards; and 84 Guinness World Records. Swift has been featured in rankings such as Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time, Billboard's Greatest of All Time Artists, the Time 100, and Forbes Celebrity 100. Honored with titles such as Artist of the Decade and Woman of the Decade, Swift is an advocate for artists' rights and women's empowerment. Her music is credited witinfluenceen cing a generation of singer-songwriters.
Life and career
1989–2003: Early life and education Taylor Alison Swift were born on December 13, 1989, at the Reading Hospital in West Reading, Pennsylvania. Swift's father, Scott Kingsley Swift, is a former stockbroker for Merrill Lynch, and her mother, Andrea Gardner Swift (née Finlay), is a former homemaker who previously worked as a mutual fund marketing executive. Her younger brother, Austin, is an actor. She was named after singer-songwriter James Taylor and has Scottish and German heritage. Her maternal grandmother, Marjorie Finlay, was an opera singer. Swift spent her early years on a Christmas tree farm that her father had purchased from one of his clients. Swift identifies as a Christian. She attended preschool and kindergarten at the Alvernia Montessori School, run by the Bernadine Franciscan sisters, before transferring to The Wyndcroft School. The family moved to a rented house in the suburban town of Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, where she attended Wyomissing Area Junior/Senior High School. During her childhood, Swift spent summers at the beach in Stone Harbor, NJ, and performed in a local coffee shop.
At age nine, Swift became interested in musical theater and performed in four Berks Youth Theatre Academy productions. She also traveled regularly to New York City for vocal and acting lessons. Swift later shifted her focus toward country music, inspired by Shania Twain's songs, which made her "want to just run around the block four times and daydream about everything." She spent weekends performing at local festivals and events. After watching a documentary about Faith Hill, Swift felt sure she needed to move to Nashville, Tennessee, to pursue a career in music. She traveled with her mother at age eleven to visit Nashville record labels and submitted demo tapes of Dolly Parton and The Chick's karaoke covers. She was rejected, however, because "everyone in that town wanted to do what I wanted to do. So, I kept thinking to myself, I need to figure out a way to be different."
When Swift was around 12 years old, computer repairman and local musician Ronnie Cremer taught her to play guitar. He helped with her first efforts as a songwriter, leading her to write "Lucky You". In 2003, Swift and her parents started working with New York-based talent manager Dan Dymtrow. With his help, Swift modeled for Abercrombie & Fitch as part of their "Rising Stars" campaign, had an original song included on a Maybelline compilation CD and attended meetings with major record labels. After performing original songs at an RCA Records showcase, Swift, then 13 years old, was given an artist development deal and began making frequent trips to Nashville with her mother. To help Swift enter the country music scene, her father transferred to Merrill Lynch's Nashville office when she was 14 years old, and the family relocated to Hendersonville, Tennessee. Swift initially attended Hendersonville High School[32] before transferring to the Aaron Academy after two years, which better suited her touring schedule through homeschooling. She graduated one year early.
2004–2008: Career beginnings and first album
In Nashville, Swift worked with experienced Music Row songwriters such as Troy Verges, Brett Beavers, Brett James, Mac McAnally, and the Warren Brothers and formed a lasting working relationship with Liz Rose. They began meeting for two-hour writing sessions every Tuesday afternoon after school. Rose thought the sessions were "some of the easiest I've ever done. Basically, I was just her editor. She'd write about what happened in school that day. She had such a clear vision of what she was trying to say. And she'd come in with the most incredible hooks." Swift became the youngest artist signed by the Sony/ATV Tree publishing house, but left the Sony-owned RCA Records at the age of 14 due to the label's lack of care and them "cut[ting] other people's stuff". She was also concerned that development deals may shelve artists, and recalled: "I genuinely felt that I was running out of time. I wanted to capture these years of my life on an album while they still represented what I was going through."
1989–2003: Early life and education
 the Reading Hospital in West Reading, Pennsylvania. Swift's father, Scott Kingsley Swift, is a former stockbroker for Merrill Lynch, and her mother, Andrea Gardner Swift (née Finlay), is a former homemaker who previously worked as a mutual fund marketing executive. Her younger brother, Austin, is an actor. She was named after singer-songwriter James Taylor,and has Scottish and German heritage.

CURRENTLY READING:
Fat and Queer: An Anthology of Queer and Trans Bodies and Lives, edited by Bruce Owens Grimm, Miguel M. Morales, and Tiff Joshua TJ Ferentini. Published 2021 by Jessica Kingsley Publishers.
From the back cover:
"This one-of-a-kind collection of prose and poetry radically explores the intersection of fat and queer identities, showcasing new, emerging, and established queer and trans writers from around the world. In writing that is intimate, luminous, and emotionally raw, this anthology challenges negative and damaging representations and offers readers ways to reclaim their bodies, providing stories of support, inspiration, and empowerment that celebrate the diversity and power of fat and queer voices and experiences."
We Want It All: An Anthology of Radical Trans Poetics, edited by Andrea Abi-Karam and Kay Gabriel. Published 2020 by Nightboat Books.
From its description:
Editors Andrea Abi-Karam and Kay Gabriel offer We Want It All: An Anthology of Radical Trans Poetics as an experiment into how far literature, written from an identitarian standpoint, can go as a fellow traveler with social movements and revolutionary demands. Writing in dialogue with emancipatory political movements, the intergenerational writers assembled here imagine an altogether overturned world in poems that pursue the particular and multiple trans relationships to desire, embodiment, housing, sex, ecology, history, pop culture, and the working day.

Milk of Lime 'Dozen'
“The fly is marking a mundane and uninvited companion of our human life. Its sudden appearance evokes a strange sense of familiarity while carrying heavy symbolism for our fleeting existence. It is an animal on the fine line between revulsion and beauty. Portraying the black iridescent body of this seemingly profane insect repels and attracts the eye equally and is forgotten with one incidental gesture of our hand.” A huge thank you to everyone who was involved in the making of this show.

@taylorswift, you appeared in my dreams 163 times where we got married 6 times, dated like over 100 times, we kissed multiple times, we held hands, we had sex 4 times, you said "I love you" to me, I carried you in my arms and we were soulmates; the first time you ever appeared in my dreams, we had sex.
My legal name is Sun King - that's abbreviated S. King.
My birth name that my parents gave me was Andres.
Your mother's name is Andrea and your father's name is Scott Kingsley, abbreviated S. King.
All of this happened by accident.
And you're my favorite woman of all time - that didn't happen by accident. And I'm the world champion of all rockstars ever. The queen of pop married to the king of rock and roll? I think it would be simply obscene to say no.

Out of Competition in Venice | Current | The Criterion Collection
Tumblr media
Benedict Cumberbatch in Wes Anderson’s The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar (2023)
Often at major film festivals, the Out of Competition programs are eclectic grab bags of films that are, on the one hand, too big not to invite, but on the other hand, less than ideal fits for the main competition or any other section. Where else would Venice programmers slot a thirty-nine-minute short from Wes Anderson, a breezy comedy from Richard Linklater, an infrared whatsit from Harmony Korine, or a chilling documentary on the Taliban from Berlin-based Egyptian filmmaker Ibrahim Nash’at?
Out of Competition is also where the hot potatoes usually land. In the days and weeks leading up to the opening of Venice’s eightieth edition, festival director Alberto Barbara kept telling interviewers that he was fully aware that he and his team would catch flak for programming new work from Roman Polanski and Woody Allen. And they did. Polanski’s The Palace, a Y2K comedy set in a luxury hotel, fell dead flat. “I told Roman before the festival that it was weak, but I don’t agree with the critics,” Barbera tells Deadline’s Andreas Wiseman. “I know it’s not a perfect movie, I can see the weaknesses and where it doesn’t work, but it’s not as bad as the critics say. It comes across as mean.”
Coup de chance, Allen’s fiftieth feature, has presented critics with a more complicated challenge because, as Xan Brooks writes in the Guardian, it “turns out to be the best one he’s managed in a decade at least.” Shot by Vittorio Storaro—he’s working digitally here for the first time—and starring Lou de Laâge, Valérie Lemercier, Melvil Poupaud, and Niels Schneider, Coup de chance is the story of a dangerous love affair—in French. The Hollywood Reporter’s Leslie Felperin calls it “a smoothly efficient but oddly anonymous work that looks like it was made by a French director who is a superfan of Allen, but not really Woody himself.” At Vanity Fair, Catherine Bray has a terrific overview of how Polanski, Allen, and their movies have been received in Venice.
The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar
“So is this a kids’ film or a grown-ups’ film?” asked Erica Wagner when we released Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009), Wes Anderson’s first adaptation of a story by Roald Dahl. “Who says you—or Anderson—have to choose?” The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar is the first of four new Dahl adaptations, all of them from shorter stories, and all of them undeniably geared a little more toward an older audience than the one for a tale of an underground rascal in a corduroy suit. Netflix will begin streaming Henry Sugar on September 27 and then successively roll out, one per day, The Swan, The Ratcatcher, and Poison.
Adaptation may not actually be the right word. These films could just as easily be described as staged recitals. The “moment of inspiration” that hit Anderson, as he explains to Netflix’s John DiLillo, came with the realization that he should have his illustrious casts deliver the stories verbatim, albeit in slightly condensed versions. In Henry Sugar, Benedict Cumberbatch, Ralph Fiennes, Dev Patel, Ben Kingsley, Richard Ayoade, and Rupert Friend juggle multiple roles to present the story of a rich and idle fellow, Henry Sugar, who reads about a guru who can see with his eyes shut. Sugar decides that the talent could come in handy at a casino.
Anderson goes “totally off the leash,” writes IndieWire’s David Ehrlich. “We’re talking dioramas, rear-projection, an on-screen stagehand, and a fetishistic degree of pleasure taken in all of the literary quirks that film adaptations exist to avoid.” In short, this is “the most visually inventive film that Anderson has made thus far.” For Leonardo Goi at the Film Stage, there’s “a Brechtian feel that never carries a distancing effect.” At RogerEbert.com, Glenn Kenny is reminded of the work of “the fantastic Czech filmmaker Karel Zeman, who put live-action actors into animated backgrounds.”
“Walls slide away to reveal new locations,” writes Vulture’s Bilge Ebiri, and “one step moves us from one scene to another; clocks advance at super-speed; days, years fly by in a sentence; actors double up on roles; simple, transparent effects are presented as sources of wonderment. The result is delightful, but it also suggests a universe that requires our own imagination to be fully realized—which is, of course, the whole point of the story.”
Hit Man
Richard Linklater tells Deadline’s Joe Utichi that he’d been toying with the idea of making a movie based on Skip Hollandsworth’s article “Hit Man” ever since it appeared in Texas Monthly in 2001. Ten years later, he turned Hollandsworth’s 1998 article, “Midnight in the Garden of East Texas,” into Bernie (2011), but he still couldn’t get a handle on the story of Gary Johnson, a psychology professor moonlighting as a tech guy for the Houston Police Department. When the officer who usually poses as a hit man to lure prospective clients—some might call it entrapment—can’t make a gig, Gary steps in and discovers he’s got a talent for role-playing.
Glen Powell, who worked with Linklater on Fast Food Nation (2006) and Everybody Wants Some!! (2016), suggested massaging the facts of the case, and the actor and director wound up cowriting a story in which Gary (Powell) is so taken by one client, Maddy Masters (Adria Arjona), that he tries to persuade her not to hire him in such a way that the officers listening in won’t catch on. “Faster than you can say Double Indemnity, things take a dark turn,” writes Leslie Felperin.
Just about every review of Hit Man so far has included a declaration that it’s high time Powell, who has appeared as a supporting player in such films as Hidden Figures (2016) and Top Gun: Maverick (2022), landed a starring role. This one “gives Powell the opportunity to put on an array of accents and don a bunch of wigs and false teeth,” writes Vanity Fair’s Richard Lawson. “He’s a creepy British assassin with a red bob, a stern cigar-smoking Russian, a good ol’ boy looking to fuck some shit up. His most successful, and enduring, persona is Ron, a cool customer who is essentially Gary with the confidence and suavity turned up.” Powell “shrewdly keeps the differences between Gary and Ron subtle, but distinct enough that a sudden switch back to Gary after many scenes of Ron arrives as an amusing shock. It’s nimble work, sexy and sweet at once.”
Hit Man “trips along on great writing, Linklater’s witty, light-touch direction, and a rich sense of place,” writes the Telegraph’s Robbie Collin, “but what makes it especially pleasurable is Powell and Arjona’s naturally steamy rapport. Here is a screen couple who look like they really do want to take each other to bed—and since that makes them easy to root for, you find yourself happily overlooking the duo’s own mounting misdeeds. Well aware how the game works, Linklater ever-so-casually pushes his luck on this front right to the limit, but not a millimeter more. What slippery fun it is to watch him get away with it.”
Aggro Dr1ft
Another movie, another hit man. In Harmony Korine’s Aggro Dr1ft, he’s Bo (Jordi Mollà), who’s out to slay a Floridian crime lord (Joshua Tilley). The Hollywood Reporter’s Jordan Mintzer suggests that Aggro Dr1ft is “not really a movie at all, but more like a cross between a movie, a video game, and a flow of hallucinatory images that could play in the background of a live show by rapper Travis Scott—who costars here as a gun-toting, philosophizing killer surrounded by a swarm of twerking booties. Korine calls this new style ‘gamecore,’ which, well, why not.”
“With human figures and landscapes rendered in infrared’s trademark pooling of contours, like day-glo gasoline slicks, the movie is less a matter of story and character than it is about keyed-up headspaces and raved-up palettes,” writes Nicolas Rapold for Sight and Sound. “A Korine creation, generally speaking, is trying to break your brain and free it at the same time with a liberating wrongness.” But “Korine is also an expert mixer, or clasher, or casting agent for reality: a fundamental move of his has been to match American skater-video anarchy with the craft of European cinematographers,” and Aggro Dr1ft is shot by Arnaud Potier, who is known for his work with Mélanie Laurent and Thomas Bidegain. Rapold finds that “the novel world of mashed-up media that Korine envisions as part of his future work still has some ways to go before it feels as nightmare-fuel-ish as a destabilizing hour spent bingeing TikToks.”
“Of all Korine’s decisions,” finds Wendy Ide in Screen, “the least successful is the one to do away with a screenplay, leading to a disjointed, incoherent structure and requiring his largely nonprofessional cast to improvise their lines. This results in something that is not dialogue in the conventional sense but rather darkly ominous phrases repeated in a monotonous, nihilistic mantra until eventually the words lose meaning and it all gets rather tedious.”
