Film after film: Medusa Deluxe (dir. Thomas Hardiman, 2022)

It's a bit a film about nothing, but it's extremely watchable. The plot is simple, it deflates weirdly and interestingly by its end: there's an art-hairdressing competition, and someone gets murdered. Everyone stays in the industrial building that the competition was to take place and waits, reacts to, and gets anxious about the murder. The film's main trick is that it pretends to be one continuous shot, which conditions the plot's development: there are three people in the room, someone leaves, the camera follows them until they get elsewhere, where there are other people, and so on. There are some beautiful performances here, especially from Perkins, who's the film's prickly heart. The ending can annoy, but I loved it.

Medusa Deluxe Review- A Murder Mystery Set At A Hairdressing Competion Doesn't Make You Pull Your Hair Out

A few years ago, there was a horror comedy based on women’s hair called Bad Hair. As in the hair was the killer in this film. I had no idea anybody could do such a thing. The latest film centered around women’s hair is called Medusa Deluxe. It’s from the BFI and A24, and they usually invest in good things. The story and most of the actors are entirely new, but there are things about this movie…

Weil es so schön war mit Clare Perkins schauten wir gleich noch Medusa Deluxe, wo sie als hervorragende, aber etwas unausgegliche Frisuerin an einem Frisierwettbewerb teilnimmt. Dummerweise wird einer der Teilnehmer ermordet. Es ist einer dieser Filme, die ihre Geschichte in einer Einstellung und in Echtzeit erzählen, aber diesmal sehr hübsch und nicht so mutwillig und mit überzeugenderem Zeitplan wie bei den Köchen hier, obwohl todesmutig treppauf treppab und drinnen und draußen; Herr Hitchcock hätte seine helle Freunde gehabt. Als Murder Mystery an sich ist es jetzt nicht soo aufregend, aber man wird durch zahllose Over-the-Top-Darbietungen und -Frisuren reichlich entschädigt.

Medusa Deluxe

Medusa Deluxe    [trailer]

A murder mystery set in a competitive hairdressing contest.

The movie profits from its unusual and colourful setting. The hair creations are certainly eye-catching. Though the murder mystery itself is a bit thin, and it takes a while until you can identify all the characters. It helps that many of them are quite interesting.

As it's often the case with "one-shot" movies, the film struggles a bit to create tension with the characters often having long walks in and around the building to get to the next scene. But it makes you wonder on what location the movie was filmed.

Since JWST pics are going around, what with the new release and all, I'd like to clue tumblr users in to the Rename JWST campaign that many astronomers have been on for ages since that seems to not be common knowledge.

So most people probably know that JWST stands for the James Webb Space Telescope. It's been an ongoing, international project proposed before I was even born and had many launch delays, but finally launched on December 25th, 2021.

It's named after James Webb, a former NASA director in the 60s, who oversaw tne Mercury and Gemini missions. It was originally going to be named the Next Generation Telescope, but someone within nasa decided to change that in 2002 because he oversaw the Mercury and Gemini projects.

March 2021, before launch, there was a call from four astronomers in an opinion piece to rename the telescope. They go through the history and arguments quite well in there and are much more articulate than me lol, but to summarize: he helped organize what's known as the Lavender Scare where queer people were kicked out of government jobs simply for being queer. The authors suggest naming the telescope after Harriet Tubman because she navigated using the north star.

The piece kicked off a lot of astronomers protesting the name, especially on twitter where many are quite active, but nasa claimed there was "no evidence... that warrants changing the name." Which is, uh. Well. Utter bullshit. The evidence is literally publically accessible.

Even the American Astronomical Society (AAS, the main organization for astronomers in the united states) thought NASA's reasoning wasn't transparent enough and sent nasa a letter in November 2021 asking for more info. It's gone unanswered as far as i know.

March 2022, Nature published documents that showed that, yeah. He was a Bad Dude and was definitely involved in keeping queer people out of NASA because they were queer. Again, there was outcry. Again, nothing happened.

Issues within the astronomy community tend to be pretty niche, so I'm not surprised that when I mentioned it to my mom she wasn't aware. So I thought I'd make a post here so people would know.

There's really no resolution here except to bother NASA to change the name. You can sign this petition, but it does seem to be aimed at astronomers. It's also a google doc, sooo.... yeah. There really is no recourse other than to bother the agency leaders though. If you want to be clear about things, you gotta use the current name of the telescope, unfortunately. Though I have seen some fun alternative acronym meanings on twitter lol.

Dr. Katie Mack, a well respected astronomer, recommended this youtube video on this same subject on twitter and while I haven't watched it yet myself, I trust her judgement so it's probably good.

But yeah, that's what I know. I just wanted to raise awareness that, while space is definitely gay, NASA is still a government agency with many queerphobes in positions of power.

Introduction Post (pinned) I figured since I've made some new boop-friends and such, I might make a brief little introduction post about me and what you'll expect to see on my blog... even though it's kind of in my blog intro itself. *You can call me Undine! (she/her) it's nice to meet you all and as said before I had so much fun exchanging boops with everyone.

I like a bunch of stuff, but mainly I'm really into things from days gone by such as the oldies but goodies. We're talking:

Music. My listening scope is the 20s-60s; but with a main focus on the '50s-'60s. I even have a big ol' Spotify playlist compiled of my favorite oldies if you're interested in listening to that! There's even earlier music in there too. If you want to check out what kinds of artists I mainly listen to, I have a last.fm profile. It'll give you a better idea! But some of my favorites at the moment are Jim Reeves, Perry Como, Dean Martin, Sanford Clark, Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, Ricky Nelson, Lola Albright, Hank Williams, Webb Pierce, Faron Young, Starset, Vitas.... Obviously this list is not exhaustive and you can go to my Lastfm and pretty much my tastes are there! I mainly like rock n' roll and classic country but again, Lastfm will tell you!

Movies. I'll admit I don't really have the attention span for much movies but on the occasion that I do, the Golden Age of film is probably my go-to. I have a lot of stuff on my watchlist... procrastination is a big thing with me.

TV series, too. I like the older TV series but I'm into modern stuff as well (I promise I'm not just a boomer, the modern stuff applies to everything else too! /j). I really like the noir and detective noir genres. Some examples of TV series I like include Dragnet, Peter Gunn, Johnny Staccato, Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, the Addams Family, BBC's Merlin (still need to finish), Doctor Who (although unfortunately I've not been able to catch up in a long time so no spoilers please!)

Old-time radio. Dragnet (which originally started as OTR) and Broadway is my Beat are some examples of what I'm into. So going into this, you will probably see me post people or things from the medias above, or others also. Other things I like include:

Pokémon. A bit rusty as I've not played a mainline game nor completed one in a while although wanting to get back into it soon but still like it.

RWBY

History

Worldbuilding and writing!!

Playing video games

Photography, one day I hope to learn how to become a great photographer. Besides the above, I'll just browse and reblog things that I think are neat or that I like - variety is to be expected, my blog doesn't really follow a theme. And that is pretty much basically everything that I can think of, off the top of my head! If I think of anything else or get any new interests I will edit this post with the edit date. Welcome to my blog!

mormon polygamy statistics postings part #?

I noticed something very interesting whilst on FamilySearch compiling other statistical information about Brigham Young's wives and children, so I decided to crunch the numbers and document it here.

My hypothesis: a disproportionate (compared to my assumptions based on 19th century family composition) number of Brigham Young's wives seemed to be Oldest Daughters TM.

the statistical parameters:

I documented the birth order of 24 of Brigham Young's wives. This group includes all sixteen women with whom he had children, as well as several marriages that were childless but where the woman in question cohabited with him for the rest of his/her life. I did not include a) any wives with whom he never cohabited b) any marriages that broke up within a year or two c) any marriages with women who were significantly older than him because I think that was likely primarily a caretaking arrangement. I did include Ann Eliza Webb, even though she divorced him, because her relationship was significantly longer than the other marriages that ended in divorce.

my findings:

6 of Brigham Young's wives were the firstborn daughter in their family of origin. (Mary Ann Angell, Lucy Decker, Margaret Alley, Harriet Barney, Amelia Folsom, and Ann Eliza Webb).

9 were the secondborn daughter. (Miriam Works, Clarissa Ross, Eliza Snow, Ellen Rookwood, Emmeline Free, Margaret Pierce, Martha Bowker, Lucy Bigelow, and Eliza Burgess).

4 were middle children. (Clara Decker, who was Lucy Decker's little sister, Emily Partridge, Naamah Carter, and Mary van Cott).

5 were younger children. (Augusta Adams, Harriet Cook, Louisa Beaman, Susannah Snively, and Zina Huntington).

A note on how I classified things: sometimes, "middle child" versus "younger child" is a bit more of a gray area. Everyone included as a younger child was either the youngest or second-youngest child in their family except Zina Huntington, who was the third-youngest but had eight siblings and was also the youngest girl, so I felt that she fit more with the younger children than the middles. The "middle children" group were those who were closer to the middle than the end or the beginning as well as anyone who had at least two older sisters and did not fit into the "oldest daughter" or "second oldest daughter" slots.

I differentiated between oldest and second-oldest daughters because I think it's interesting that it was actually second daughters who were most common, but if we group the two together as a sort of overarching "Older Sister Demographic" they form an overwhelming majority. (And I do think it makes sense to group them together, because pretty much everybody in the secondborn daughter category still had a large number of younger siblings and if they were secondborn in a family of 8-10 kids and had one sister who was only a couple years older, they likely took on a lot of the 19th Century Older Daughter tasks as well).

conclusions:

I think the "older sister" group is definitely overrepresented in terms of what you would statistically expect. Interestingly, it's the "middle child" group that really seems underrepresented, especially since in an era where most families had 6+ kids (and often significantly +) there were a lot more middle children than there are now.

It's interesting to speculate about this: was Brigham Young more interested in women who were Older Daughters/Older Sisters (not saying he was thinking about it that explicitly, but was he drawn to women with a particular personality type affected by that experience)? Or were women who had that upbringing more likely to sign on to this type of polygamist household?

Also, I don't want to make too much of a Freudian point here, and it might be total coincidence, but if you're wondering about HIS place in the birth order, Brigham was the 9th out of 11 children. His mother was extremely ill with tuberculosis for most of his childhood and his primary caregiver growing up was his teenage sister Fanny, the second oldest girl in the family. They remained very close as adults and she actually lived with him and all the wives.

Medusa Deluxe (2023)

Director: Thomas Hardiman

Starring: Clare Perkins, Anita-Joy Uwajeh, Kae Alexander, Harriet Webb

Plot: A competitor is found dead and scalped at a regional hairdressing competition. In the aftermath, tensions boil and rumours spread throughout the dressing rooms. Who knew a quick trim could lead to something so violent?

My Review: A stylistic film, presenting itself as a one-take (though it is a few long-shots edited carefully together), the camera snaking itself around the labyrinthine backstage. The characters are all wonderfully fleshed-out, each with a plausible motive and eagerness to found out the killer's identity. The score too adds to the tension, only broken by the occasional joke and reminder that it's just a regional hairdressing competition. It's not mace, it's Tressame.
