Find the word in your WIPs

I was tagged by both @rose-of-pollux and @tuttle4077 for a "Find the word in your WIP" game! Here are the rules: Find the words from the list in your WIPs and post the paragraph they belong to.

Thanks a lot :D They both gave me different words, too, so let's go!

I ended up using What Nightmares May Come (my long HH fic) a lot, if only because it's so long (64k+ words, gah, if only the inspiration could come back!!) but also from The Message (the follow-up to Mon Pays et Paris), three The Mummy WIPs, and one word from a Legend of Vox Machina somewhat long WIP. And since it got so long, I'm putting most of it under a cut ^^'

Tagging @thisstableground, @tinydooms, @laurelindebear, @teashoesandhair, @kabbal and @kaantt 💜

List of (new) words: chase | average | fast | minute | whole

sigh (from The Message, Hogan's Heroes)

“Did you clear that up with Colonel Hogan?” he asked. LeBeau stuck out his chin in a familiar show of stubbornness.

“Of course I did,” he said just a second too quickly.

Kinch shook his head.

“Man, now I know why you won’t play poker with Newkirk. He’d clean you right out.” He sighed. “LeBeau, you can’t just take a radio because you feel like it. Do you know how many of the guys miss listening to the Andrew Sisters or the World Series?”

hint (from A Fifth of Glenlivet, The Mummy)

The tea was light and slightly sweet, with a hint of mint. Egyptian style. Rick – though more of a coffee guy – had to admit that for what he considered to be lightly flavoured hot water, it wasn’t that bad, especially without the obligatory splash of milk generally favoured by the British.

heart (from Manifold, The Mummy)

She waits a little, enjoying the wind on her face and the shade the balloon casts over them; then she asks without looking at him, her voice very low, her heartbeat very loud, “Whom did you fall in love with first: Elizabeth, or Tom?”

toast (from In A Mellow Tone, The Mummy)

“Good Heavens. And I thought my parents had their hands full with me and Evy.” Jonathan put his palm into his hand and grinned. “How much of a scamp were you when you were a kid?”

“Not that much,” Harry said with a sharp smile, “but I usually got away with a lot, even more than Nellie did. You see, I didn’t often let myself get caught.”

“Sound philosophy,” said Jonathan, raising his half-empty pint in a toast Harry met with his own. “So you have four siblings?”

operation (from What Nightmares May Come, Hogan's Heroes)

The conversation in Klink’s office seemed to be over, so Kinch unplugged the coffee pot and replaced the lid. They were all thinking the same thing; all operations would have to come to a complete stop. The absence of the sub already meant they couldn’t go through with their orders of ‘assisting escaping prisoners’; but this meant that the other part, about ‘cooperating with all friendly forces and using every means possible to injure and harass the enemy’, was nixed as well if nobody could set foot outside camp.

_______________________

That's it for Tuttle's words! Now for Rose's :o)

sea (from What Nightmares May Come, Hogan's Heroes)

“Let’s hope that your escape will earn him a one-way ticket to the Russian front,” Hogan grimly quipped, his eyes serious. “In the meantime, you get to stay at the… ‘guerilla Hilton’ for a couple of days, we fit you with civilian clothes and official papers, and you do a little cross-country ‘round the German countryside. There’s a British sub in the North sea, a little off Wangerland. You’ll be in England faster than you can say ‘fish and chips’.”

star (from What Nightmares May Come, Hogan's Heroes)

Hogan whistled between his teeth. “So they’re basically stuck here for God knows how long?”

“Basically.”

“No chance of a plane, I suppose?”

“I asked. Apparently, if our guests were two-star generals, they would consider sending one.” Hogan didn’t miss the discreet sarcasm in his radioman’s deadpan voice.

pleasant (from A Fifth of Glenlivet, The Mummy)

Something loosened in the set of Jonathan’s shoulders.

“Good. Because if you’re planning to steal more toolkits for my sister then it’s better if… Well, you know. She’s had a lot flung at her because she has the gall to be a scholar and a girl, and ‘only half-English’ to boot.”

Something told Rick that particular turn of phrase glossed over many others, much less pleasant. Which both siblings probably had their own share ‘flung at’ them, come to think of it.

walk (from Underture, The Legend of Vox Machina)

Scanlan let his hand fall and rolled his eyes.

“Look, you don’t need to get your panties in a knot. I can see better than you at the moment, so the way I see it there’s only one way you won’t fall behind and get lost.” He walked back to Vax and thrust out his hand with a grin large enough to be obvious even in the dark. “Wanna hold hands?”

linger (from What Nightmares May Come, Hogan's Heroes)

“Oh, perfectly, Major,” Klink muttered in an almost defeated tone, resisting the urge to rub his temples. The lingering headache had been small this morning, the inevitable result of a restless night, but Hochstetter excelled in the art of making migraines in other people’s heads grow in a way even Hogan did not.

Thanks again :o)

La increíble Toni Collette cumple 51 años

Antonia Collette (Blacktown, Nueva Gales del Sur; 1 de noviembre de 1972), conocida como Toni Collette, es una actriz australiana nominada al premio Óscar.

Toni Collette es hija de Bob Collette, camionero, y de Judy Collette, trabajadora de una empresa de mensajería. Es la mayor de tres hermanos. Toni comenzó su carrera como actriz en el instituto, y apareció en diversas obras teatrales estudiantiles. Posteriormente se matriculó en el National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA), de Sídney, que, tras estudiar dos cursos, abandonó para comenzar a interpretar representaciones teatrales.

Saltó a la fama al protagonizar "Muriel's Wedding" (1994), una fábula social en tono de amarga comedia dirigida por P. J. Hogan. Para el papel tuvo que engordar en pocas semanas más de 18 kilos. En esa época tenía 22 años, y dicha película le valió una nominación al Globo de Oro como mejor actriz de comedia.

Más tarde, la actriz australiana logró debutar en Hollywood, compartiendo protagonismo con Gwyneth Paltrow y David Schwimmer en "Mi desconocido amigo" 1996. Tras aparecer en películas como "Emma" (1996), adaptación de la novela de Jane Austen o "Velvet Goldmine" (1998), Toni intervino en "The Sixth Sense" (1998), película de suspense de M. Night Shyamalan que se convirtió en la sensación del año. Por este último título sería nominada al Oscar a la mejor actriz de reparto, aunque la estatuilla sería para Angelina Jolie por "Inocencia interrumpida". También destacó en 2006 interpretando el papel de Sheryl Hoover en la aclamada película "Little Miss Sunshine".

En 2011 estuvo en el 'remake' de la comedia de terror "Noche de miedo", donde interpretó a la madre que cae bajo el hechizo del vampiro (Collin Farrell), estrenada en 2011

Formó parte del elenco de la serie "Hostages" con el rol de Ellen Sanders, el papel principal y la famosa película de terror "Hereditary"

Collette es vegetariana, practica yoga y le encanta realizar viajes espirituales a la India, es una ferviente defensora de los derechos de los animales y es miembro de la organización PETA. Tuvo una relación sentimental del actor Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, su compañero de reparto en "Velvet Goldmine" (1998). Contrajo matrimonio en enero del año 2003 con Dave Galafassi, tienen dos hijos. La pareja tiene dos hogares: uno en la República de Irlanda y otro en Australia

En los últimos años, Toni Collette nos ha maravillado con sus sorprendentes interpretaciones en películas como "Knives Out o " I’m Thinking of Ending Things"

pepper potts. blog canon. please read.

ALRIGHT. Let's get into this. Let's get into the Iron Family, let's make ourselves sad at the state of Pepper Potts in current 616 canon.

I'm gonna toss this under the cut in case it gets long, I'm gonna try to give an abbreviated history to pepper; I still need to get to and read Happy's death again, cause that's really where I am starting this.

also pretty much beyond invincible iron man vol 4 where pepper meets Riri; it's all not great. it's just not good. it does not do pepper's character justice; it's sad. it's a little sad how the state of thing have been left.

This is my blog canon for Pepper, inspired from comics, and headcanons to fill in the gaps over the years

PLEASE LEAVE A LIKE IF YOU READ, or leave a comment, writing these up takes time and likes encourage the mun to do more, and that the love given to this character is seen.

GENDER -> Given that I write Pepper Potts as a trans woman, she/her, and love this as it goes with Pepper's story theme of finding herself, of becoming her own woman. Especially some of the ways she takes about being Rescue, and her scrapped letter to Tony. Pepper socially comes out when she is twenty, this would be when she is working at Stark Industries, around the same year she would catch the accounting error. As I don't want to center too much of her story around transition or center around this; focus on her own canon story and the concept of trans joy, trans acceptance, etc. Over the years, she would fully medicially transition; which only contributes to the confidence and joy that Pepper has of being who she is. She is proud, she is out, publically and socially, and she has been accepted is the most important part of all this and of Pepper's gender; and that she absolutely loves dresses and skirts and heels and makeup, that she enjoys these parts of her routine that reflect the woman she is.

FAMILY PT 1 -> Born to sensible mother, Olivia Potts, and father, Jonathan Potts, accompanied by a two years older brother, Andrew Potts. She was always the good child, the one who did her school work and did as the family expected. When Pepper came out, it was generally something she was allowed to go. Her brother had the hardest time, her family not ever understanding or trying to understand; but they used the right pronouns, called her Virginia, and generally let that be. She's a woman and accepted that, do they call her sister and daughter? No, but Pepper never asked for that when she got out on her own and came out.

HIRED AT STARK -> This will be brief as most of this remains as canon. Virginia Potts would start her work at Stark Industries, at the lowest level as a receptionist. Eventually she would catch an accounting mistake made by Tony Stark himself, who would coin her nickname Pepper for her freckled complex, which lead her to being hired on a his executive assistant. Working alongside and under Tony Stark, she would often run affairs in his absence and once his secret identity as Iron Man was known, she would even act as the woman in the chair for when he was out as Iron Man, often on head set to communicate with him about business as well as provide him tactical aid on the fly.

TONY AND HAPPY -> While Pepper had initially been attracted to Tony Stark, pining after a date with him and would develop some feelings for the man who would become one of her friends; along came Happy Hogan hired by Tony Stark, and it was love at first fight for Happy and Pepper. It would take a lot of back and forth between Tony and Happy, with Pepper pining for Tony, Tony developing some feeling for Pepper, and Happy always having feeling for Pepper. Pepper fell for Happy and eventually they married. She had a life with Happy, but the troubles brought to their lives by Iron Man, led for Pepper to beg Happy that they quit working for Stark and started their own lives without Iron Man. This would not last as Happy could not hold down a job and plans to adopt were axed by that fact. This would put a strain on their relationship that lead to divorce; no cheating but a few affairs between the two of them with other people put a damper on rekindling attempts. Pepper and Happy would go back to working for Tony with Stark Solutions. She would be relying information for Iron Man constantly. Pepper would have a few relationships outside of Happy, including a romantic kiss with Tony which confirmed for her that they were good friends, but nothing more. Eventually, she would reconcile with Happy and they would remarry. This would re-solidify Pepper and Happy as Tony's happy married friends again.

2008 IIM RUN -> Typically speaking this is the core of where my Pepper starts; it's from this run. Now a widow, working for Tony Stark still because he's her only family now. It start with her starting to look at whats next, opening herself up to old feelings for Tony again; it starts with the building falling on her and sharpnel in her heart, her own RT Node. Tony is the director of Shield, until the Dark Reign event with Norman Osborn. This is when things start to shift painfully so; she goes through trying to save Tony's life, from knowing he is going brain dead and having a brief tryst with him which had real feelings and love for him, and knowing he is going to die; to rebooting him and bringing him back to life; WHY HIM. Why does he get to come back, to live, and to not remember what they could have had too. She just lost Happy and that was it.

CIVIL WAR + HAPPY'S DEATH -> The hardest thing that Pepper Potts would find herself going through was when her husband, Happy, sustained injuries from Spymaster while the first superhero Civil War was going on. The injuries were fatal, leaving Happy in a vegetative state. Pepper would urge on Tony to turn off Happy's life support, to which which at first he would say no. One of the most painful things was for that moment to have Tony refuse her the request to honor Happy's memory and let him go. Eventually, Tony would do this and Pepper barely allowed herself time to grieve before she was volunteering herself for Tony's Stark's fifty states initiative which would lead to Pepper taking on the role of Hera for The Order.

RESCUE + RT CHEST NODE -> To start, she thinks of it as a bomb, a fear that the Repulsor Tech in chest, keeping her alive, was going to be a weapon used against her, a weapon, a ticking time bomb that could only lead to destruction. Something assigned to her, something that was not who she was. When she learns, it's not made from something rooted in blood, an ex-weapons industry; Pepper embraces it. She already felt incredible, even with that concern, but know that her RT node was not to be a bomb, to be a weapon; she let it be anything she wanted to be. It made her connected to everything, feeling the thrum of electricity of the magnets; allowed her to understand her dear friend Tony better. Pepper embraces it, the RT Node becomes part of her; something necessary to being the woman she was today, like the makeup and surgeries and coming out as a woman. THAN CAME HER SUIT, and to know how to fly, to go anywhere in the world, and be powerful and herself. When she had to give up her RT Node to save Tony's life, she did that for love of Tony, and when she asked for it back, it was for love of herself. So to present day, Pepper still has her RT node in her chest, still has her Rescue suits; as they are a part of who she is now.

INTERMISSION -> Tony goes to space, and leaves Pepper to her work as Resilient's CEO as well as overseeing/monitoring Tony Stark's other businesses. She meets a Marc Kumar and even finds herself engaged. The events of Iron Man (vol 5) goes as canon goes; with Marc seeking out the Mento-Intensifier Mandarian Ring; and the dissolution of his relationship with Pepper, as she explains to him that even though Stark ha treatedher badly, most of the time he didn't. (remember this part for later) -> With another relationship down, this leaves Pepper alone again in the sense of canon, for Marvel to put her on a dusty shelf; what we can take from this is the way that Pepper will start to feel defeated. Happy's dead, her tryst with Tony stings, relationship with Wyche ended by her, and than Marc turns out to hate Tony and have a whole plot against him (to point out here, another way that tony end up in the center).

SUPERIOR IRON MAN -> So let's get into this; this starts the penultimate fall of the friendship of Pepper and Tony. She still loves him; look at what she does, what she goes through to take down SIM, because that's not Tony; not really and she made the contingency plan with Tony years ago. Tony is her friend, someone she loves and has a long complicated history with; he was the start of family to her. Through him, she met Happy and then Rhodey, and became CEO of Resilient; and now she has to take down his nightmare. It's the beginning of the furthest drift from Tony.

FAMILY PT 2 -> Pepper's never been the closest with her family, even growing up she didn't quite know her place or what she wanted, it was when she turned eighteen, went the college her father wanted that she figured it out, it's when she started at Stark Industries. She found more family with her co-worker Happy, her employer Tony Stark and Iron Man, and in Tony's friend Rhodey. Pepper keeps minimal contact, typically only going home once a year to visit the Potts family, she feels as though with everything she has been through, as Pepper Potts assistant to Tony Stark, as one of the few to be in the know about Iron Man at the time. This goes on further when she loses her husband, Happy, who had acted as the bridge between her and the Potts family, her and the Hogan family. Even deeper as she plays her hand at hero, as Hera, and then becomes Rescue with the RT node. The first family gathering she attended after that with the Potts, she felt the outsider that she had always been, even outside of her coming out and going from who they had thought they knew to who Pepper was, Virginia "Pepper" Potts. This will further cement to HER that her family is Tony Stark, Happy Hogan, James Rhodes, and Jarvis, because they just knew and saw Pepper; they were her family, and then she lost Happy. Then things with Tony hurt more and more.

THE YEARS THAT COME AFTER -> Rhodey's death and Tony's coma. Leaves Pepper utterly without family, beyond those she works closely with at Resilient. It leaves her alone, with no one and she's angry. She's angry about it, but mostly hurt and alone. Happy's been gone a long time, she lost their friend Rhodey, and then Tony AGAIN. WHEN Riri pops up, there's a lot of emotions that she goes through that go without saying, that go on with her having anything anyone to talk to. She finds Riri, and she sees her taking on the Iron Mantle, and it means a lot and it hurts; and then there's that fucking AI Tony that stings. Her and Tony had already began to drift for a long time, longer than when SIM happened. He's dead, and he can't rest and she can't mourn him, or her entire family. She has to move forward; but she something she likes in Riri a lot, wants the legacy to carry on. She has as much a part of this as Tony Stark ever was now, at this point? It's HERS too.

PREFACE TO SHADOW -> Secret Empire + Robot Revolution. I have my issues with these events a lot, Pepper doesn't really show up outside a lot after SIM. I am completely happy to exclude these from canon, but if we were looking at them as canon. She is part of the opposing Underground, providing RESCUE support. Addressing the Robot Revolution would go into THE SHADOW OF TONY STARK, but having her who has built up Resilient, which Tony has passed onto her without Stark being in the title; IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT moments for her, because it's letting the company be more hers, its letting it and outside of Stark's shadow. So for Tony to come out of his coma, create Stark Unlimited and merge all his other companies including Resilient as subsidiaries, and Marvel not give us Pepper's perspective on that; suck. It's bad. Now it's back under the Stark shadow. On top of that, for her to be the one that everyone goes to for her to get DNA from Tony's mother, is an incredible painful thing for her. I typically ignore these as canon cause Marvel did her dirty.

THE SHADOW OF TONY STARK -> Tony Stark has cast a shadow upon Pepper's life permanently. At times, many times, it was a shadow she was happy to be under, happy to know and walk in. HE WAS HER FRIEND, HER FAMILY. She has been there since the earliest of days, but for the long while she was just his assistant, to so many people. Maria Hill takes such offense with Pepper's capabilities cause she saw Pepper as Tony's assistant. Having her RT node being taken, to save Tony's life, when why couldn't she have just grieved her, why couldn't she and Happy be the lucky ones and Happy be alive. THE LONG DRIFT between her and Tony starts, and every year, when she gets pulled back in, it's a little further out from the last time. She gets pulled back in to save Tony, to put Tony first, and she loves him; but when will something go her way; when will someone move heaven, earth, and hell for her. Often times, Tony doesn't show her the most gratitude, he doesn't have the energy or time, immediately pulled into something. We don't see him grateful to Pepper in panels. It's always move onto the next thing, and don't look back at Pepper, don't acknowledge that she stands in his shadow. People ask her weekly, wonder, what it is between them, why they fell out because to this day; she is in Tony's shadow. Even when MJ calls her about the job, it's about Tony; who they haven't spoken much. Partly on her part, because there is pain in his shadow.

LOSS + ALONE -> She is the furthest from having family and friends than she has been; pushed herself out far from Tony because she can't take the pain. Jarvis, an old friend, someone who has been there longer bring her into the Lookups; but as we can assume it's Pepper; she says that her connection and relationship now is "strictly business, maybe for the best" and even going to these Lookups meeting, is painful because it's Stark tech, and she takes to him strictly business, when work forces them to have their people contact each other. It's painful to go there, because it's still in a way attached to Stark, his tech to hide their identities, and Jarvis; and it all RUBS THE WOUND RAW with Tony Stark. She doesn't even see Rhodey now that he's back. She does her work, and she goes home alone; always willing to put on her Rescue suit to help, to be pulled back in; but she doesn't have her family anymore, there's no Happy, no Rhodey, no Jarvis, no Tony. No long deep meaning friendship persevered; even though she loves them all. She and Tony barely talk, and she does miss the idea and memory of her family, still has photos of her, Tony, and Happy.

PRESENT DAY -> She works as a corporate giant, under Stark's shadow again, gives her all to Resilient. She has Rescue on reserves, if even an emergency needs her or anyone does. Twice a year, she does see Tony and a doctor for RT Chest Node maintenance, and for any Rescue suit maintenance; but their friendship is in tatters, and it makes her sad and she'd love to be out of Tony's shadow, to be able to talk about the Iron Family without the hole in her chest, and she does wish that she could have that again. To have her family and her friend back, but it's a lot of pain to process. She keeps an eye on the Avengers and everyone; and gets updates about Tony from MJ; but otherwise she's in her own lane, and it's lonely. Least she got visiting Jamie amd Katrina, but she doesn't get to share that, plus Jamie's grown up. Resilient is still Resilient, not Stark Resilient but she still works closely and in conjunction with Stark Unlimited. Things with Tony is business only, things with most of the super community is business only, when they need her and the Rescue suit.

JAMIE CARLSON -> So after SIM, Pepper does take time to get to know Jamie as well as his mother. This is Happy's son, after all, and a piece of him that she had back. She has a room available in all her homes for him, if he ever needs anything; he can come to her. She want as much involvement in his life as he and his mother allows. She never got to raise children with Happy; the opportunity being taken from them as the agency determined Happy's instability to not approve them. So, she would more than happy to know Jamie and tell him about his father, and get to know Katrina, Jamie's mother as well; any help they could need. It's not often that she get to be involved, but she tries to not miss anything major as long as Katrina is comfortable with her being his step-mother (in a way).

Actress Candace Cameron Bure (“Full House” and “Fuller House” fame) chatted about the movie “Just in Time” and her other Great American Family films.

Eleanor Roosevelt once said: “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” A woman that embodies this quote is Candace Cameron Bure.

‘Just in Time’ movie

Most recently, she served as an executive producer of the film “Candace Cameron Presents: Just in Time,” which coincided with this year’s Easter festivities.

“I love that movie,” she exclaimed. “Laura Osnes is so fantastic, so was Peter Bryant and our writers were incredible as well.”

She noted that she is excited for her new holiday movie “A Christmas Less Traveled,” which she announced yesterday. “I am always searching for the next Christmas movie. This is a fun road trip story that we get to tell,” she foreshadowed.

“It is also quite heartwarming, so you might need to have the tissues handy for that movie,” she acknowledged.

‘A Christmas… Present’ movie with Marc Blucas

She shared that she enjoyed doing the holiday film “A Christmas… Present” with Marc Blucas. “I loved that movie,” she said. “Working with Marc was so great.”

The synopsis is: Real Estate Agent Maggie Larson and her family will be spending Christmas with her recently widowed brother, Paul, and his young daughter at their house.

Maggie is determined to give her brother and niece the best Christmas possible and to lift their spirits when they most need it. Though Maggie’s plan is to aid her brother, his faith and parenting style ultimately helps her to understand issues within her own life and a need for closeness in her own family.

Working with director Lesley Demetriades

She also had great words about working with female director Lesley Demetriades on “A Christmas… Present.” “I have had a career filled with so many wonderful people, and Lesley was certainly one of them,” she said. “Lesley is a wonderful director, and she is so kind.”

“As a producer and a lead actress, I am always trying to create the best environment on set,” she said.

“I get the privilege of working with incredible people, and I get to put those teams together. I enjoy everyone in my film so very much, and it is always great to work with new faces and I also get to work with a lot of familiar faces behind the scenes,” she elaborated.

She also had great words about Emmy nominee Randy Wayne, who served as a supervising producer on that film. “Randy is great,” she admitted.

‘My Christmas Hero’ film

An equally enjoyable movie for her was “My Christmas Hero,” where she worked alongside Gabriel Hogan. It was a film about military appreciation and meaningful relationships. “That one was wonderful,” she said.

youtube

The digital age

On being an actress in the digital age, she said, “It is wonderful since there are so many ways to watch film and television today. Digital is taking things to a whole new level, and it is great because there are more ways to watch.”

‘Unsung Hero’

Bure also stars in the upcoming movie “Unsung Hero,” where she also served as an executive producer. The cast includes Joel Smallbone, Daisy Betts, Kirrilee Berger, and Jonathan Jackson. Bure plays the role of Kay Albright.

youtube

Great American Family

Bure serves as the Chief Creative Officer (CCO) of Great American Family network. She is also a lead actress and executive producer on many of the films.

“It has been wonderful,” she admitted about being a part of Great American Family. “I am so proud to be a part of the channel and be a part of the whole process as the Chief Creative Officer of Great American Family. It has really been a beautiful step in my career,” she acknowledged.

“I love bringing family movies to all the viewers at home,” she added.

Mario Lopez joining ‘Great American Family’

Most recently, she is thrilled to welcome Mario Lopez (“Access Hollywood” and “Saved By the Bell”) and his wife, Courtney, on Great American Family. “We are so excited and proud to have Mario and Courtney on Great American Family,” she exclaimed.

“Everyone is going to be a part of that,” she said about the upcoming Great American Christmas movies later on this year.

“We keep building bigger and better lineups, so we are excited for this coming Christmas season,” she acknowledged.

Advice for young and aspiring actors

For young and aspiring actors, she said, “Learn your craft well. Keep practicing and take lessons or classes whether that’s in theatre, or privately, or in school. Just keep working at it. I’ve been in the business for a really long time, and I am still trying to be better and better every day, and learn my craft better, and the nuances of it.”

“I would tell young actors to keep doing it and to keep practicing,” she added.

90s Con

Bure recalled being a part of the 90s Con fan events in Connecticut, which are produced by That’s 4 Entertainment.

“90s Con is so much fun,” she said. “I was sorry to have missed it this year, but they have been really fun events. I’ve gotten the chance to meet so many wonderful people there, and families. I enjoy them very much.”

Stage of her life

On the title of the current chapter of her life, Bure said with a sweet laugh, “Hustle.” “I feel like that’s all I’ve been doing. I’m hustling and I’m working really hard.”

Matthew West

Bure had great words about Christian music singer-songwriter Matthew West. “I love Matthew [West] so much,” she exclaimed. “It is always a joy to be on his podcast. He is one of my favorite musical artists. Matthew is the voice of the Great American Family channel during Christmastime.”

Superpower of choice

If Bure were to have any superpower, it would be “to teleport.” “Then, I could be in any place at any time, especially since I do a lot of traveling,” she said. “So, I think that would be a great superpower.”

Career-defining moment: Playing DJ Tanner in ‘Full House’

Bure noted that her biggest defining moment is “Full House.” “That’s what put me on the map,” she said. “It’s what everyone mostly knows me from; they know me as DJ Tanner, and that will always be such a huge part of my life and my career.”

Best advice she was ever given: ‘Be Yourself’

On the best advice that she was ever given, she revealed: “to be yourself.” “Just be yourself; my mom told me that all the time,” she said. “Don’t try to be anyone else or something that you are not.”

Alternate career choice: Fashion

If she weren’t in the entertainment business, her alternate career would have been in “fashion.” “I just love fashion,” she admitted.

Success

On her definition of the word success, Bure said, “Success, to me, is having a wonderful relationship with my family and with God.”

“I’m not going to say I absolutely wouldn’t consider it,” [Larry] Hogan told me, before quickly adding his preference was for Republicans to defeat Trump in the primary. But then said, “I get why so many people want a third choice” and pointed to polls showing clear majorities of voters would be open to an independent candidacy. “Today it looks like we have two really terrible choices,” he said. “Most people in America, whether they’re Republicans or Democrats, they will say: ‘Is this the best we can come up with to serve as leader of the free world?’” I should mention he also pointed out he left office with approval ratings in the 70s, thanks to strong support from both parties, and that he just happened to post a well-crafted, nearly 10-minute-long biographical video this week that ended with him saying: “The future is still to be decided — stay tuned.”

big fan 1977 BBC Dracula Jonathan in the castle, not really bc its the best adaptation of the psychological horror but bc I feel they make Jonathan's non-horror emotions very palpable as well which is something you don't usually see. Like in the three brides scene, I'm not horrified but like... yeah it's a little hot, but what they really do that no one else does is make Jonathan sad. Mina's voice is echoing in his head talking about when they're to be married, and he hallucinates her standing off to the side brushing her hair just looking at him, while the woman are crawling on him and you just zoom in on his eyes and they're just. They're fucking heartbroken. They are the eyes of a man who instinctively knows he's about to be murdered and his last thoughts are of the woman he loves and is leaving behind and the future they were supposed to have, and the look in his damn eyes just really makes me want to cry. And then when he drops the letter to the movers? I can feel his relief when he thinks they're going to send it, he just releases all the tension in his shoulders and he's so unburdened to think that he at least got word to Mina. Bosco Hogan (yeah that's the actor's name) just plays a very human Jonathan.

#dracula #jonathan harker #unfortunately as is so often the case after the castle he gets very sidelined #very unimpressed with him during the blood ceremony #the camera spends a long ass time on Mina you know freaking out etc and he is not in frame and I'm like Jonathan????#hello???#can you go and get your girl please she needs a damn hug #like he does not touch her the entire scene?#bestie you need to take up your wife in your arms like you do in the book before I go feral

Count Dracula (1977)

The 1977 BBC tv film Count Dracula might be the best adaptation of Stoker’s novel.

Other adaptations like the 1931, 1958 and 1992 films might have claims to be better as films, but as adaptations they largely ignore the novel in various ways. The 1992 film adapts perhaps a lot of scenes from the novel, but in its storyline, it is more of an adaptation of The Mummy from 1932 than of Stoker’s book. And the 1931 and 1958 films called Dracula are rightfully regarded as peaks of vampire horror movies, but are very unfaithful to the novel.

The 1977 BBC film however is remarkably faithful, with Gerald Savory’s script taking a lot of dialogue straight from the book. There are changes of course, the largest of which is probably the removal of Arthur Holmwood, whose character is instead merged into Quincey, to save time and simplify the film’s character list. There are others changes, like how Mina and Lucy are sisters, and Dracula looks the same throughout and has no moustache.

Yet the 1977 film is probably the film adaptation most based in the book. The film’s length of 2 and a half hours helps in conveying the scope of the book. This faithfulness is to its advantage, as the novel’s characters are usually more interesting than the pop cultural versions of them.

Renfield in this movie is probably the best movie version of the character. It spends time on making him a complex and sympathetic character. It gives him a genuine character arc, where he falls under Dracula’s spell but out of care for Mina rebels against Dracula’s hold on him and pays the ultimate price. Actor Jack Shepard’s portrayal is excellent. Most movie versions cut the character or just make Renfield a creepy bug-eating weirdo, and the 1977 version, by taking more of the character from the novel makes him actually interesting.

The acting and the rather faithful to the novel portrayal of the characters is this version’s greatest strength.

Irish actor Bosco Hogan as Jonathan Harker has an unfortunately 1970s hairstyle, but manages to create a close to definitive performance as Harker. He manages to convey this dynamic character’s whole register, from charming naivety at the story’s start, to haggard traumatized suffering to the fiery determined Jonathan of the story finale.

Frank Finlay as Van Helsing is another definitive portrayal. He truly feels like the Van Helsing of the book, silly fake Dutch accent and all.

Judi Bowker as Mina Harker is also close to definitive. She portrays Mina as a woman who is compassionate and kind yet her kindness is also a strength of spirit, which enables her to resist Dracula’s vampirism. She gets to save Jonathan by shooting his attacker in the film’s climax.

I also like Susan Penhaligon as Lucy Westenra, who conveys a likeable Lucy, and you do feel for her when she is victimized and turned into a monster by Dracula.

Richard Barnes as Quincey has a terrible American cowboy accent, it’s the epitome of an English actor trying to have an American accent. But like with Van Helsing its awfulness feels oddly accurate to how Stoker wrote it, as funny as that sounds. He is a goofy character because of that terrible cowboy accent, almost comic relief, although it’s nice to have Quincey in a Dracula adaptation for once. He is usually left out of adaptations, because the cowboy in a gothic horror feels out of place. Here Arthur has been merged into Quincey, which if anything is the opposite of how most adaptations do it, usually cutting Quincey and keeping Arthur if he is around.

Louis Jourdan as Dracula is an interesting take on the character. Jourdan goes for a suave and handsome Dracula, compared to the book, he doesn’t even de-age into attractiveness. I’m not attracted to men, but I can sense his charisma. And this well-spoken and handsome Dracula probably is attractive to a lot of people. I can barely believe that Jourdan was in his mid 50s when the film was made, he looks at least 15 years younger.

Yet it works, because underneath the charm Jourdan’s Dracula is fundamentally the same character as the book Dracula. He is not a sympathetic misunderstood Byronic hero. Underneath his handsome and suave exterior he is the same monster, selfish and destructive. Jourdan manages to convey a genuine air of menace even when he is being soft-spoken and suave. He exudes a threatening air of complete confidence when he speaks, like he is just playing with his food by having an erudite conversation with his future victim. He can charm and seduce people, but only to destroy them. It’s good acting by Jourdan and a great take on the character.

The film is a tv movie, and it certainly looks cheap compared to some theatrical productions. It’s visibly 70s British tv. The sets really do look like sets, and the switch to video for location shoots is obvious. This movie is uploaded to youtube a lot and youtube compression makes it look absolutely terrible, yet even my dvd copy does show its age and origin.

Yet Philip Saville’s direction is intelligent and tries to do some visually interesting things. There are some nice shots that add to the gothic atmosphere. And there is an attempt to do new things with the TV format, like a POV shaky cam shot, which was probably unusual for TV in 1977. Some of its experiments do fail, like the negative images used to convey the supernatural of Dracula’s power. But the film tries to be visually interesting within the limitations of 70s TV

Overall Count Dracula is a success. It is not the most visually exciting adaptation, but it tries its best within the budget limitations. The overall faithfulness to the novel of the script and the high level of the acting means the characters are more compelling than most pop culture versions of Dracula. Again, there might be better films based on Dracula, but this is probably the best actual adaptation.
