Jack: “So, I’m to be the triple pillar of the world transformed into a strumpet’s fool?”

Phryne: “You’ve been at least a single pillar for far too long.”

The Female Body has many uses. It's been used as a door knocker, a bottle-opener, as a clock with a ticking belly, as something to hold up lampshades, as a nutcracker, just squeeze the brass legs together and out comes your nut. It bears torches, lifts victorious wreaths, grows copper wings and raises aloft a ring of neon stars; whole buildings rest on its marble heads.

It sells cars, beer, shaving lotion, cigarettes, hard liquor, it sells diet plans and diamonds, and desire in tiny crystal bottles. Is this the face that launched a thousand products? You bet it is, but don't get any funny big ideas, honey, that smile is a dime a dozen.

It does not merely sell, it is sold. Money flows into this countryor that country, lies in, practically crawls in, suitful after suitful, lured by all those hairless preteen legs. Listen, you want to reduce the national debt, don't you? Aren't you patriotic? That's the spirit. That's my girl.

She's a natural resource, a renewable one luckily, because those things wear out so quickly. They don't make 'em like they used to. Shoddy goods.

now hold it right there ✋🏻

phryne had the mark antony costume packed at the ~very beginning of the episode, before she heard about the murder; and she had an invite for jack to go to the party as her partner which would have been done before the murder as well and she meant that as a whole different kind of partner to the law enforcing one.

oh she was going to ask him out on a date all along 😭 season one episode twelve, phryne fisher i know what you are! (falling in love with jack robinson)

their first date before their first date - and they don’t have much luck with those, and i love that she’s always been the driving scheming force behind them (all the way to the tent in the desert ugh)

(and then the foreshadowing with foyle telling jane ‘(cleopatra) falls in love with mark antony’ 😭 please this show is so delightful on the details!)

Miss Fisher Snippets (138)

Phryne first playfully enticed Jack to accept the invitation (“You still have a murder case to solve and what better way to gather information than to mingle with the crowd?”) When he showed hesitation, she revealed the real reason she wanted him to be there. How could he say no to that? That’s what friends were for.

I have rewatched Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries too many times now. I could recite the script. It’s my comfort show.

I am rewatching it currently, something in the background while I crochet. I don’t need to actually watch it, I’ve seen it that many times.

Right now, I’m watching the second last episode of the first season, Murder in the Dark, and something bothers me each time I watch the episode.

*Spoilers for the episode below the line*

Why does Herbert Brown lie in his alibi?

From the timeline I gathered, Herbert found Guy and his (Herbert’s) daughter in an intimate position. When Herbert explodes, dragging Marigold away, Guy bribes Herbert with expensive drink, and the situation is, apparently, somewhat resolved. We don’t know what happens after that, but we do know that Herbert uses that situation to blackmail Guy the following day into giving him an alibi.

Guy was with Isabella the whole morning, never once going near the stables.

So why would Herbert need Guy as an alibi? Yes, sure, Herbert would be seen as a suspect. But, he would’ve been cleared once Dot continued to push to find out what happened to Murdoch Foyle.

It’s been made obvious that Murdoch Foyle was the one to kill Marigold. It’s a whole ploy to toy with Phryne, and Arthur once again witnessed a good portion of the crime.

So why did Herbert need an alibi?

Did Foyle sidle up to him at some point in the night, after Marigold and Guy were discovered, and offer some sort of solution? Did Herbert, in a drunken and angry stupor, allow Foyle to kill his daughter? Did Herbert have in anyway anything to do with her death?

It’s just a loose end that constantly bothers me when I watch this episode. Much like the box in Murder Most Scandalous, where it seemed to play a big role, but then disappeared and never showed up. Unless I’ve missed something. Anyway, just my bothered thoughts.

Margaret Atwood, Happy Endings

I'm slowy chipping away at Luke Arnold's filmography (because I've realized I've hardly ever seen anything Australian, and also hyperfixation), and I've just watched Murder in the Dark (2013, Dagen Merrill).

And it is an interesting movie! The premise is pretty basic: a bunch of people traveling in Turkey spend a night in medieval ruins, play a spooky game, and then they start dying one after the other and they have to figure out who is the killer among them.

But the concept is super cool. The actors only knew their part, not the whole script, so they didn't know who was the killer, who was gonna die, or what they were going to see as they went from set to set. So there is quite a lot of improv, and they handled it really well (except for one performance I didn't like). I usually find improv cringy, but it works in this movie, and it doesn't take away from its atmosphere. There are some genuinely unsettling moments, and some gore that I didn't expect.

The highlight of the movie for me is that the characters are from different countries, and there is a frenchman. And him making zero effort on his accent, saying "putain" every 30 seconds, and getting angry in a french way (if you know, you know), was peak French representation. Loved him.

The ending isn't great, but overall I've had a good time, and I think I'll watch it again (even though I couldn't rent/buy it in France and had to find a low-quality streaming site that made my antivirus work overtime).

There is even a nice making-of segment at the end where the creators and actors explain the project. And Luke Arnold looks cute as fuck in it, he must have already been working on Black Sails when it was shot.

(excuse the shitty quality and streaming bar, okay)

Next: True Colours! I'm curious about Rarriwuy Hick too.

#luke arnold #murder in the dark #I've also watched The Tunnel recently and it wasn't nearly as fun #it scared the shit out of me #one more thing to be scared of in Australia: all the murderous animals and monsters in the subway #no hate to Australia though #and if you've never seen a French get angry imagine an Italian getting angry #lower the volume add more physical contact and there you go

If you ask a human being what makes his flesh creep more, a bat or a bomb, he will say the bat. It is difficult to experience loathing for something merely metal, however ominous. We save these sensations for those with skin and flesh: a skin, a flesh, unlike our own.

If Cazador ever commented on Astarions companions (instead of just ignoring them which ultimately leads to his downfall) he'd be pretty flabbergasted to see the durge he definitly has heard of innit

New Years Grieve

MURDER IN THE DARK The Alexandra Theatre, Birmingham, Tuesday 7th November 2023 This new thriller from writer Torben Betts is a little misleading from the off.  The title does not describe what we get – unlike Snakes On A Plane!  Rather, the murder-in-the-dark refers to the game played upon the protagonist by a cruel babysitter many years ago.  It’s also, somewhat unlikely, the title of a song…

lived my best little life on Saturday when I saw Murder in the Dark (again) and this time even actually managed to meet Tom!! I won't post the picture I got with him, but I had the genius idea to bring my Father Brown book, just in case you know, and he was lovely enough to sign it. so now I have Tom's and Mark's (he signed at a comic con for me) and it's a prized possession
