Archer isis

In the process, it was conveyed that Sterling Archer was the model secret agent no longer and his team was officially the underdogs. Throughout the episode, the team's field agents clashed with Fabian Kingsworth (Kayvan Novak) and his organization: IIA. While it served as the perfect cap for the running joke, it also tied poignantly into the overall themes of the Archer season 12 premiere. Things ultimately came full circle when Cheryl, stumbling for words, simply referred to them as The Agency - much to the satisfaction of the team. For Cheryl, they reflected her generally creepy edge, her idea of branding being to leave sinister dolls at mission sites. For Pam, it was in how many of her ideas came from vices, especially sexual, lustfully incorporating references to specific body parts. The various suggestions also served to highlight both Pam and Cheryl's individual quirks and proclivities, solidifying that both had returned to normal after Archer season 11 and their attempts at self-improvement. Both were given a chance to shine individually and collectively, the back and forth between the duo positively sizzling with energy and to hilarious results. Equally, it was a perfect opening use of Pam and Cheryl, arguably one of the show's best pairings. It was a testament to the fact that even after 12 seasons, Archer still has plenty left comedically in the tank - only just utilizing scenarios and jokes that could have been made years ago. Nosh to Spies and Dolls, with several others spread throughout the Archer season 12 premiere's runtime. Pam and Cheryl's suggestions ranged from S.P. What followed was an overzealous attempt to recreate "marketing banter" and a succession of ideas that demonstrated the Archer writers' knack for puns and wordplay. To save money, Malory turned away a marketing team of Kaia (Natasha Rothwell) and Alton (Harvey Guillén), tasking Pam (Amber Nash) and Cheryl (Judy Greer) with the responsibility instead. Rather than coast by without addressing that fact, Archer season 12, episode 1, "Identity Crisis" made it a running gag. Related: How Archer Season 10 Episode 9 (Finally) Ended The Coma Trilogy Regardless, between the moment that Archer finally awoke to the ending of Archer's season 11 finale, the organization operated without a name being officially specified. Sometime during Archer's three-year coma, though, Cyril, Ray Gillette (Adam Reed), Lana Kane (Aisha Tyler), and the others were removed from the CIA blacklist and reestablished themselves in the field of international espionage. Most notably, it became The Figgis Agency when Cyril Figgis (Chris Parnell) became the figurehead and the team attempted to be private detectives. In the time since then, the group has gone by a couple of different monikers.

For obvious reasons, however, the name ultimately had to be scrapped. Overseen by Malory (Jessica Walter), the organization fueled the antics and global adventures of H Jon Benjamin's titular secret agent, as well as his eclectic colleagues. Created by Adam Reed and premiering in 2009, Archer centered on a fictional spy agency named ISIS (International Secret Intelligence Service).

Sterling Archer and his not-so-illustrious team returned for Archer season 12 and swiftly paid off The Agency's long-term name issues in a more direct fashion. Warning: This post contains spoilers for Archer Season 12, episode 1.

Historic Negro League ballpark in Hamtramck to get new life with $2.6M in renovations

Not long ago, Hamtramck Stadium was a forgotten relic surrounded by knee-high grass and weeds. The ballpark dates back to the 1930s, when the Detroit Stars of the storied Negro Leagues played in front of thousands of fans. After decades of abandonment, the stadium is getting a new life. The Wayne County Commission (on July 22) approved an $850,000 grant, the final piece of funding to renovate the historic ballpark.

This summer, crews plan to build a new roof above the grandstand and restore the seating and brick exterior. The $2.6 million renovation project is expected to be complete by the end of the year. Hamtramck Stadium is one of five remaining major Negro League ballparks.

"Hamtramck Stadium is hallowed ground, essential to both Black history and baseball history," Wayne County Executive Warren C. Evans said in a news release. "I am thrilled that we are restoring Hamtramck Stadium to its former glory so that the next generation of Hamtramck and Detroit young people can learn to love this game on the same field where legends like Turkey Stearnes, Satchel Paige, and Josh Gibson once roamed."

The ballpark hosted the Stars from 1930, 1931, 1933, and 1937, and 17 future Hall of Famers, including legendary pitcher Satchel Paige, Cool Papa Bell, Oscar Charleston, Judy Johnson, Josh Gibson, and Norman "Turkey" Stearnes, played there. Stearnes, a southpaw slugger, was a hometown hero who won seven home run titles in the 1920s and ’30s.

“I never counted my home runs,” he once said. “I hit so many, I never counted them, and I’ll tell you why: If they didn’t win a ball game, they didn’t amount to anything.”

Detroit Stars owner John Roesink, a local businessman, built the stadium after the team’s first home, Mack Park on the city’s east side, was badly damaged in 1929 when a grounds crew intentionally burned gasoline on the field to dry up the rain-soaked ground. More than 100 fans were injured.

At the new stadium in May 1930, Detroit Tigers legend Ty Cobb threw out the first pitch.

As many as 8,000 fans – both Black and white — packed Hamtramck Stadium to cheer on their home team. But the Stars' glory days didn't last long.

The Depression struck and left the Black ballplayers without a major Negro League team in Detroit, and so they relocated to other cities. (Turkey Stearnes, notably, went on to play several seasons for the Chicago American Giants.) In 1947, Jackie Robinson finally broke the color barrier in the major leagues when he debuted as a Brooklyn Dodger, spelling the beginning of the end for the Negro Leagues.

Hamtramck bought the stadium in 1940 and used it occasionally until shutting it down in the 1990s. There wasn’t even a sign commemorating the field until 2012, after a group of volunteers, preservationists, and baseball fans began searching for ways to revive the ballpark. That year, the stadium was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

“The history of Hamtramck Stadium and the Negro Leagues is an integral part of the history of both Detroit and Hamtramck, and the rehabilitation of the grandstand will make that history accessible,” says Gary Gillette, founder and chair of the Friends of Historic Hamtramck Stadium

In 2017, the Hamtramck Stadium Grounds Crew (formerly the Navin Field Grounds Crew) began regularly maintaining the field. “Our grounds crew is like a family,” says founder Tom Derry. “We’re passionate about preserving baseball history and helping the great community of Hamtramck.”

Derry and his volunteer crew can be found at the ballpark nearly every day throughout the summer cutting the grass, fertilizing, watering, grooming the infield, or picking up trash. “We have the hardest working grounds crew in baseball,” he says.

Other contributors of the renovation project include the Detroit Tigers Foundation; the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation; the Kresge Foundation; the Friends of Historic Hamtramck Stadium; the Michigan Municipal League Foundation; the Hamtramck Parks Conservancy; and the National Park Service through an African American Civil Rights grant.

In July 2019, rock star Jack White played a charity baseball game at the park to raise money for the Friends of Historic Hamtramck Stadium.

The renovations are part of a more ambitious plan to create more opportunities within the larger community space known as the Hamtramck Recreation District, which also includes Keyworth Stadium, Veterans Park, and a stop on the new Joe Louis Greenway, a 27.5-mile trail that connects the Detroit Riverfront to Hamtramck, Highland Park and Dearborn. “We are proud to have the support of so many committed partners who are contributing to the restoration of historic Hamtramck Stadium,” says David Palmer, interim executive director of the Hamtramck Parks Conservancy. “This work will both honor the site's history as one of only five remaining Negro Leagues home fields still standing and gives new life to the stadium as was prioritized by the community in the Hamtramck Recreation District Plan.”

Hoo U?

A spirited discussion is raging on Facebook now, the good kind of spirited discussion, an enthusiastic exchange of ideas and ideals, not a snark fest.

The top is a deceptively simple one: Who are the characters various actors played?

Let me clarify: It began as a trivia challenge to name actors who have won Oscars for playing the same character.

And there in lays the debate.

How exactly are we defining a character.

This all sounds trivial, and to be frank this part of the discussion is, but it’s gonna get deep by the end.

Trust me.

So here’s the kickoff:

Marlon Brando won a Best Male Performance Oscar for playing Vito Corleone in The Godfather; Robert DeNiro won a Best Male Supporting Performance Oscar for playing Vito Corleone in The Godfather II

Heath Ledger won a Best Male Supporting Performance Oscar for playing the Joker in The Dark Knight; Joaquin Phoenix won a Best Male Performance Oscar for playing the Joker in Joker.

(Trivia bonus: Kate Winslet and Gloria Stuart received Oscar nominations for playing the same character at different stages of her life in Titanic, and Winslet and Judi Dench were both nominated for playing the same character at different stages in Iris as well; plus Peter O’Toole was nominated twice for playing Henry II in Beckett and The Lion In Winter which technically counts as a sequel…)

The Facebook debate is over whether Ledger and Phoenix were actually playing the same character.

Now in the case of the former, The Godfather II is a continuation of the same story in The Godfather by the same creative team with much of the original cast reprising their roles, the Oscars going to two actors who played the same character at different stages of their life (BTW, where's the love for Oreste Baldini, who played Vito as a young boy?).

The two films were re-edited and combined with The Godfather III to make a nine-hour and 43-minute miniseries The Godfather Trilogy.

It is clear the creators’ intent from the beginning was for audiences to accept Baldini / DeNiro / Brando as the same person at various stages of his life.

The Ledger Joker and the Phoenix Joker cannot possibly be the same character for a wide variety of internal continuity issues separating the two films. The creators of Joker went out of their way to state their version of the character was not The Dark Knight version.

Unlike The Godfather movies, you can’t link up the various live action Batman / Suicide Squad / Joker stories into a single coherent narrative (especially since you have to drag in the live action Supeman and Wonder Woman movies and TV shows as well).

. . .

Can different actors play their version of the same character in otherwise unlinked productions?

Of course they can.

Stage plays do it all the time.

If you start with the same exact text, then clearly any number of actors can play Hamlet or MacBeth or Willy Loman.

The problems arise when one goes afield of the text.

. . .

In 1932 Constance Bennett made a movie called What Price Hollywood? that did okay but really didn’t set the world on fire.

In 1937 Janet Gaynor remade that film as A Star Is Born, the story changed to give it a tragic yet uplifting conclusion; her version was a big hit and Gaynor received an Oscar nomination.

In 1954 Judy Garland remade A Star is Born as a musical and that proved a big hit, and Garland received an Oscar nomination.

In 1976 Barbara Streisand took a swing at the material with a country-western version of A Star Is Born and while she got an Oscar nomination, audiences were unreceptive.

In 2018 Lady Gaga remade A Star Is Born and received both an Oscar nomination for her role and an Oscar win for her song.

Question: Are they all playing the same character? Each played a character that started their film with a different name than the other versions, but the Gaynor / Garland / Streisand / Gaga versions all end with the central character proudly proclaiming they are “Mrs. Norman Maine.”

Same character?

. . .

There’s no argument that William Gillette, Basil Rathbone, and Benedict Cumberbatch all played Sherlock Holmes, even when their productions took certain liberties with the stories.

But Sherlock Holmes is not an idiot, and Michael Caine played Holmes as an idiot in Without A Clue.

Was he playing the same character as Gillette / Rathbone / Cumberbatch?

(Ironically Peter Cook played a very recognizable and wholly credible Holmes in his farcical send up of The Hound Of The Baskervilles with Dudley Moore.)

Did George C. Scott play Holmes in They Might Be Giants? Almost everybody else in the story thinks he’s a New York banker who’s suffered a nervous breakdown and only thinks he’s Holmes, but Scott believes he is Holmes 100% and throughout the film other people he encounters accept him as Holmes at face values.

He functions as Holmes throughout.

And in the end, the audience is left in a weird place, not really knowing what his fate may be, not absolutely sure if he is a bonkers banker but maybe…somehow…he is Sherlock Holmes…

. . .

Did John Cassavettes in Tempest and Walter Pidgeon in Forbidden Planet play the same character? Were either of those roles Shakespeare’s Prospero?

Did Christopher Lee play the same character in Horror Of Dracula and its sequels, in Count Dracula, and in In Search Of Dracula? (The producers of Count Dracula sure went to great pains to explain their version was a different and more accurate version than the Hammer version of the character, and In Search Of Dracula cast Lee as Vlad Tepes who was the real life historical figure Bram Stoker based his novel on.)

For that matter, is Count Orlok in Nosferatu: A Symphony Of Terror actually Dracula? A European court awarding lawsuit damages to Bram Stoker's widow sure thought so.

Along similar lines, was Bela Lugosi playing Dracula in Columbia's Return Of The Vampire? Universal's lawyers sure thought so.

Did Jim Caviezel in Passion Of The Christ, Max von Sydow in The Greatest Story Ever Told, Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke, and Michael Rennie in The Day The Earth Stood Still all play the same character?

Did Toshiro Mifune, Clint Eastwood, and Bruce Willis all play the Continental Op?

Did Clint Eastwood play the same character in all three Dollar films?

Did Vincent Price, Charlton Heston, and Will Smith all play the same character?

Did Leonardo DiCaprio play the same character Steve McQueen played in The Great Escape (even if just for one brief scene) or did he play a character who played a character Steve McQueen played in The Great Escape?

Ooh, here's a good one!

Lon Chaney Jr starts Ghost Of Frankenstein playing the same monster Boris Karloff played in the original Frankenstein / Bride Of Frankenstein / Son Of Frankenstein trilogy, but by the end gets Ygor's brain (Bela Lugosi) transplanted into his body and speaks / thinks / acts briefly as Ygor in Frankie’s body.

However, Frankenstein Meets The Wolfman while maintaining continuity with all four previous films cast Lugosi as the monster (because Chaney had to play the Wolfman, duh) without dialog. Glenn Strange then assumed the role again in continuity with all previous films for House Of Frankenstein, House Of Dracula, and Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein, occasionally speaking briefly in the role.

Who was Strange playing in his films? The original Karloff monster or Ygor in Frankie's bod? Are those two distinct characters?

. . .

All the above is fun trivia to debate, but it links to a much more serious question: Who are you?

That’s not a trivial matter. What constitutes out identity? What makes us who we are?

I lost my father years ago to Alzheimer’s. As my brother Robert observed, the only member of a family not affected by an Alzheimer’s diagnosis is the person suffering from it themselves.

I would talk to my father on the phone, and he was always pleasant and cheery, but about three years before he died I realized he had no idea who I was, I was just some voice on the other end of the line that mom wanted him to talk to.

My father was by nature and easy going kinda guy, and that certainly made his last few years easier for my mother and brother Rikk to cope with, but one night when I was visiting, trying to get their affairs straightened out so he could enter a nursing home, he got irritated with my mother as she was trying to help him and raised his hand as if to slap hers away.

My father never raised his hand against my mother.

Ever.

He taught me and my brothers that was something no real man ever did.

He might sound gruff on occasion but he never raised a finger, much less truck our mother.

The fact he did so in the throes of Alzheimer’s indicated that whoever he once was, he wasn’t that person anymore.

We got him into a nursing home and he lasted a little less than a year there, his mind and his memory and his personality deteriorating rapidly.

Who was he at the end?

I didn’t go to his funeral.

What was the point?

The father I knew and loved had departed long before they buried his shell.

My grandmother, on the other hand, remained her cranky, irascible self until a week and a half before she died, finding the wit to crack one last memorable joke before her body began shutting down.

. . .

The question of identity is related to consciousness, and these are referred to as “the hard question” by physicians and physicists and philosophers alike.

What makes us “us”?

How do we know who we are?

What constitutes identity?

There are no easy, pat answers.

We have textbook definitions that dance around the issue of identity and consciousness, providing enough of a foundation for us to recognize what it is we’re discussing, but no one has yet come up with a clear, concise explanation of what either phenomenon is.

It’s like saying “apples are a red fruit.”

Okay, we know what you’re talking about, but we also know that description falls far, far short of what an apple actually is.

That’s why trivial discussion like whether or not Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix are playing the same character is a lot more important than it seems.

(BTW, they aren’t. Phoenix won his Oscar for his version of the Rupert Pupkin character in a violent remake of The King Of Comedy.)

The new idea

So I came up with a new idea of my experimental film. I love astrology and since I remember I was always determined to find out the deepest and intimate people’s desires and urges. I read many books and articles about zodiac signs and I realized how powerful they can be. So each one of us have their own zodiac sign, there are four types : water signs, air signs, fire signs, earth signs. If you are interested in exploring your own zodiac sign you need to read this book written by Mecca Woods - Astrology for Yourself. It’s good book for beginners. Its workbook exercises walk the reader through the fundamental basics, step by step, making astrology accessible and easy to learn. I know that creating an experimental film is an extreme challenge for me but I want to create something challenging. I would like to create something that will show people how close we are to each other thanks to the same zodiac sign. I want to show similarities and differences in four parts videos where I’ll show each zodiac sign type starting with water signs. It’s pretty easy for me since I am Scorpio and Scorpio is a water sign along with pisces and cancer. So to be familiar with the topic I started reading more books and articles about zodiac signs. I knew a lot before but It wasn’t enough to create a film. I read a few chapters from “Modern Astrology: Harness the Stars to Discover Your Soul’s True Purpose” by Louise Edington and “The Secret Language of Astrology: The Illustrated Key to Unlocking the Secrets of the Stars” by Roy Gillett. Both of them helps you realize the qualities you have and people around you, what is your element, strong sides and the weak ones. In the next few weeks I will try to read more books and articles about the importance of water signs specifically. At the beginning I wanted to show each sign separately, first cancer then pisces and then scorpio, but my Teacher advised me to show their similarities more then their differences. He advised me to focus on water as an element. To show how powerful water can be, destructive and salvific at the same time. He was right! It’s the best way to show the connection between those signs rather than their disparateness. “The Astrology of You and Me” by Gary Goldschneider and “The Astrology Bible” by Judy Hall are my next goals to find out more about water signs. I found on youtube some cool experimental films about water in general which could help me with and idea of presenting water in different ways. Check it out :

“Sexuality is often just another role, as arbitrary as any part a screen star is asked to play. Fear of discovery—and vanity—meant knowing how to espouse bisexuality long enough to see oneself through an offscreen bed scene. The question of whether Joan Crawford and Myrna Loy—“Gillette blades” for cutting both ways—loved women and tolerated men is less a matter of evidence than of attitude and affinity. Lesbians lie to men, said Judith Anderson, because they don’t want to be rejected, even if there is no sexual attraction. A majority of Hollywood’s lesbians enjoyed men as long as they didn’t come too close.

Marriage was common. The most famous modern homosexual, Oscar Wilde, was married with children, and Hollywood lesbians sought protection and acceptance in “lavender” marriages to actors who were often homosexual, and with whom they could form secret alliances against hostile surroundings.

“Paramount’s premier costume designer Edith Head married Fox art director Wiard “Bill” Ihnen. Both were always busy, stayed out of each other’s life, and lived past eighty. Crawford and Stanwyck’s cracked marriages to alcoholics gave these two former chorus girls a sense of stability, while the safe and sexless marriage of Linda and Cole Porter gave his career dazzle. Laurence Olivier’s marriage to Jill Esmond remained unconsummated for years as she struggled to accept her lesbianism. While living with faithful companions, Hepburn, who early on scored in near-andrógynous parts, maintained the perfect front with alcoholic Spencer Tracy, who, as a Catholic, never divorced his wife. The successive marriages of Janet Gaynor, Lili Damita, and Agnes Moorehead were daisy chains of deceit. Other “tandem couples” included Charles Laughton and Elsa Lanchester, Vincente Minnelli and Judy Garland. When they had to, lavender couples produced children.”

heeeey, what astrology books for beginners would you recommend?

I would recommend the ones that I currently have.

If you’re looking for a straight shot but thorough explanation of almost everything and more you should get The Astrology Bible by Judy Hall

If you’re looking for something that gives a great/proficient explanation of nearly everything but won’t overwhelm you, you should get The Secret Language of Astrology by Roy Gillett.

If you want something that gives a well-rounded explanation of almost every sign expression, while also providing great explanations you should get The Stars Within You by Juliana McCarthy.

Overall I think all three are great books to have for beginners. They give so much information and where one lacks, the others make up for. The Astrology Bible does a great job at brushing almost everything a beginner needs to know about reading their natal chart and, even includes sections on synastry, solar and lunar returns, and progressions. The Secret Language of Astrology gives a very great job at explaining things but I think it offers much more when it comes to aspects when compared to the other books. The Stars Within You does a great job at giving more than a 1 sentence explanation of how certain signs manifest under certain planets and give more straightforward myths about the signs. It also does a great job at better explaining chart patterns.
