Roger Casement | A Man of Mystery
In the week after Roger Casement’s execution, on 3 August 1916, newsreel footage of the nationalist leader was shown in cinemas across America. At a conservative estimate, some 15 million US citizens saw the moving pictures. A century on, this fragment of film provides a fascinating insight. Casement is glimpsed at his desk writing: The daily activity he performed above any other. He used the pen…

H2O- Just Add Water (2006-2010)
I'm an adult woman and I still come back to this show when I need an escape. Playing mermaids is something you never outgrow.

Good writing and good acting themselves make House of the Dragon an excellent series. But the quality of its FX and VFX send it off the charts.
The first thing “House of the Dragon” visual effects supervisor Angus Bickerton discussed with showrunners Miguel Sapochnik and Ryan Condal was — surprise — the dragons. The show’s predecessor, “Game of Thrones,” set new standards for the photoreal monsters; it won sevenvisual-effects Emmys, after all. The prequel would rely on them even more.
A reminder that there will be a total of 22 different dragons in the series.
To be sure, the visual effects team had its hands full, especially with the show’s virtual locations and the progressive desiccation of King Viserys I (Paddy Considine) due to a Westeros version of leprosy. But the main attraction was always to be the dragons. They’re present without doing much through its first nine episodes, the VFX/mythical monster version of Chekhov’s gun, waiting to be fired. Then, in the season finale, their full capabilities erupt in a spectacular, thrilling chase and fight to the death that showcases how far VFX have come, even in the short period since “Thrones” concluded in 2019. On one side of the fight is Arrax, a teenage dragon with a young teen human rider (Lucerys, played by Elliot Grihault), the two about the scale of a boy on something the size of an elephant with wings. On the other: 120-year-old Vhagar, largest and oldest of the behemoths, ridden by insolent bully Aemond (Ewan Mitchell). “Vhagar’s head [alone] is the size of a small, six-person vehicle,” Bickerton says. In one breathtaking moment, the dragons’ relative size is revealed when Vhagar passes above Arrax, dwarfing him. It’s reminiscent of the classic opening shot of 1977’s “Star Wars”: A small ship is pursued by a Star Destroyer — whose massive bulk seems to go on and on and on.
The amount of attention to detail is astonishing.
“So for Vhagar, we took references from whales. She has these parasitic birds that live on her, eating mites and bugs off her skin. The rigging and saddles are now cutting into her skin because she’s actually grown around it.”
Here's Elliot Grihault at the filming of that scene. A lot going on there.
Tumblr media
Another change from “Thrones” involved the mechanical-bull-like mounts on which the actors sat to simulate riding — these “motion bases” were more advanced, with more range of action, “more speed and more dynamism” than their forebears. Condal “kept saying, ‘I want the actors to be holding on for dear life,’” says Bickerton with a laugh. It took multiple effects houses and multiple processes to weave together the season’s payoff sequence.
It's worth having another look at that sequence.

Ah the subtle (sometimes not so subtle) angsty subtext hinting at self-destruction in the characterization of reckless characters who go around risking their lives is... *chef's kiss*

I'm a Barbie Girl, in a Barbie Wo~orld! Life in Plastic- it's fantastic!
Barbie Girl, by Aqua
....you know what? I was gonna do a long explanation, but, nah, this is pretty self-explanatory actually. I just think it would be Neat and Fun for a Sunshine-and-Optimism Dude x Edgy, Sarcastic Badass Chick pairing (platonic or romantic, doesn't matter) to get to sing a role-reversed Barbie Girl for karaoke night, is that too much to ask? Featuring one of the OG ships with this dynamic, Luke/Mara; platonic MacRiley (who i originally had this idea for, also yes this works perfectly well for romantic MacRiley too if you want but they're siblings for me y'all sorry); and, of course, who else but the singer duo themselves, Jeca (Beca nearly walked out on principle when she found out what the Trebles chose for them but Jesse convinced her to give his idea a try; she ended up hamming it up just as much as him by the end).
Close ups of each duo below the cut; image ID is in the Alt Text!

Steve Blimkie and The Reason (1979)
First things first — I chose this album as my first review because I totally adore this guy. That being said, I seem to be the only person out there to take an interest in him! I can’t even begin to tell you how difficult it is to dig up information, but after lots of dedication, I can give you a somewhat solid biography. So, who is Steve Blimkie?
Tumblr media
Blimkie was part of the so-called second wave of the Toronto punk scene. Edging on new wave and power pop, him and his group The Reason stood out from the rest. That is mostly due to Blimkie’s sheer energy, as stated in concert reviews I managed to find, and quite clearly here. Is it any wonder that this spunky guy originates from the radioactive village of Chalk River, Ontario? During this point of his career, he released two albums, this self titled one, and another called Chasing Paper Tigers, which we’ll talk about another time.
This album was released on Ready Records in 1979, and was one of, if not the first, albums released under that label. Interestingly enough, both Blimkie albums were advertised on the inner sleeves of many of Ready Records’ bigger releases like the Spoons and Blue Peter, all the way until the labels demise in 1985. I find it odd that he never gained more recognition! It should also be noted that The Reason contained some familiar faces, including Dave Betts, and eventually Derry Grehan who would both go on to form Honeymoon Suite.
Blimkie's vocals have a very recognizable flamboyancy to them; dramatic, but not in a way that gets annoying. For me, the standout tracks on this album are It Only Happened Twice, Can’t Say I’m Sorry, and most certainly the upbeat Subway. I really appreciate the track order of this album, I feel like the slower songs are spread out in a way that keeps it exciting. This is a record you can put on and dance!
Unfortunately, but unsurprisingly, this album is widely unavailable and is only for sale second hand. Even then, it’s a difficult one to track down if you don’t want to spend lots on Discogs. I’ve ripped and uploaded the entire album here for your listening pleasure:
