365 Day Movie Challenge (2018) - #21: Freak Show (2017) - dir. Trudie Styler (52 Films by Women 2018: #2)

Like another film I viewed recently, Penelope, Trudie Styler’s coming-of-age comedy Freak Show (based on a semi-autobiographical novel by James St. James) is the story of a misfit who asks members of a community to forget about their prejudices and to embrace their differences instead. While’s Penelope’s message is muddled, ultimately stating that a happy ending is only possible once the pig-snouted heroine has magically transformed into a “real” woman, Freak Show does a decent job of navigating comparable territory without copping out in the same way.

Alex Lawther, an up-and-coming British actor who impressed me with his heartrending performance as young Alan Turing in The Imitation Game and who currently stars on the Netflix series “The End of the F***ing World,” plays the center of Freak Show’s gravitational field, openly (and flamboyantly) gay teen Billy Bloom. Billy spent his formative years with his showbiz mother, nicknamed Muv (Bette Midler); he admires her zest for life and her total acceptance of his personality, although he overlooks other issues like her alcoholism, her flakiness and less than stellar parenting skills. When Billy turns seventeen, Muv abruptly dumps him at the Virginia estate of his estranged and very wealthy father, William Bloom Sr. (Larry Pine), forcing Billy to attend high school with a deeply conservative group of kids. Needless to say, the student body is unprepared for the drag queen in training who has entered their midst.

Unsurprisingly, Billy falls in love with the one male classmate who befriends him, Mark “Flip” Kelly (Ian Nelson). Flip is the school’s star football player, but secretly he longs to pursue a career as an artist; he and Billy bond over their rejection of so-called normalcy. (Billy also hangs out with Mary Jane, played by AnnaSophia Robb, whose name he doesn’t catch when they initially meet. He calls her “Blah Blah Blah” in his head for most of the film, which is more entertaining than anything her character gets to do.) To Freak Show’s credit, the connection between Billy and Flip is more than just the former constantly pining after the latter.

Despite the barrage of voiceover narration from Billy, the film’s portrait of him never scratches too far below the glittery surface. He wears makeup, wigs and costumes divinely, but otherwise the screenplay is thin on his character development. Still, Billy’s biggest hurdle - running as a candidate for homecoming queen against the school’s resident mean girl, Lynette Franz (Abigail Breslin) - is a compelling one. Additionally, the evolution of Billy’s camaraderie with his father’s housekeeper, Florence (Celia Weston), is touching and there are a bunch of amusing scenes with the town’s most determined reporter, Felicia Watts (Laverne Cox), who covers the prom royalty race with clear bias towards our hero.

I’m tempted to dock Freak Show a few points for Billy citing the eyeroll-inducing phrase “let your freak flag fly” during his eleventh-hour speech to his classmates before the final prom queen votes are tallied, but it’s probably the most emotionally involving part of the film. Praise also goes to the section of the film in which Muv briefly returns, drunkenly flirting and dancing with Flip and making a total fool of herself while still retaining a very Bette Midler brand of resolute confidence. In such a predictably feel-good and sentimental film, more moments like that are needed to shake things up. Trudie Styler (whom I think of first and foremost as Sting’s wife) made her solo directorial debut with Freak Show, but she also has decades of experience as an actor and producer under her belt, so I am curious to see what path her filmmaking career goes down next.

Festival Les Deferlantes, Perpingnan FESTIVAL LES DÉFERLA

Sorry about the lack of photos, but my phone ran out of memory;( However, here’s two beauties…

A lovely drive though France to this gig. The traffic is horrendous on the last leg and even though the sat-nav says 3.5 hours ….. it actually takes 8, with us driving all over the place when we get there…bloody sat-navs!

This would be a beautiful spot, for any festival. High on a hill set in an old medieval castle. Their set up and organisation, food etc., is fantastic with Chemical Brothers headlining. We play really well and are received very well too, a lovely day out. Nice to see the Chemicals crew members and their Agent Alex Nightingale on the trip. Nice drive home with gorgeous weather.

The Foundry, Sheffield Students Union.

After two weeks off I am very nervous. It seems like such a long time! We practice very well, and even though as soon as we start practicing, we wonder why we are? Because we know the songs so well;)

Using a new boy today, Rob on monitors. Rob is the bass player from The Cadavers, Part Time Band contestants, and it’s nice to have someone you know doing the fold-back. It makes life a lot easier.;)

Geek Alert: Foldback System – when you see a band perform live, the black speaker boxes facing the musicians at the front of the stage, are called ‘fold back’. Folding the music back to the performers, so each musician can hear what they and the other group members are playing on stage.

(Pottsy actually mis-heard this years ago and thought, until last week???… it was called ‘fallback’…how weird is that!)

We are out of term time so no students, and I wonder what will happen?

I needn’t have worried. It is HOT! And packed with a very boisterous audience greeting us very, very warmly. The boys play fantastically, it is insanely sweaty and I am delighted to see Queen Vivien of Bedford Boys Club 1981 fame backstage with her beautiful grown up daughter, which makes me feel very old… God doesn’t time fly?;)

Y not Festival, Matlock, Derbyshire

Nice drive to picturesque Matlock, in Derbyshire. It is strange rounding a bend and seeing this huge festival site stretching out before you, in the middle of absolutely bloody nowhere. I go out in the tent to watch the band before us play, PRETTY VICIOUS, and very young and energetic they were too, with a great drummer.

As I’m watching there is one surreal moment when someone reaches over my shoulder and points to the back of the guy in front of me, who is wearing a Festival T-shirt, and points to Peter Hook and The Light on it. I think is he taking the piss? I look round and the guy who’s pointing screams, ‘Fucking Hell!’ he shouts, ‘Peter Fucking Hook!’ I beat a hasty retreat.

The tent is packed, bursting at the seams, and apart from this huge stanchion in the middle of the stage, everything is great. It’s a mixed audience but most are very young.

The gig goes GREAT! Starting with Joy Division, then moving on to New Order. The crowd and mosh-pit getting wilder and wilder. With crowd backing vocals for ALL of the songs. Then about halfway through the set a young lady at the front pulls her top up showing off her lady parts and Jack drops the most monumental bum note I have ever heard…God bless him! We finish with LWTUA and the audience are still singing it 10 minutes after we have finished!!!

A lovely drive home as the sun sets and I feel very happy, tired but happy.

Thank you to all at Y not! Thank you very much;)

Hacienda Classical, Rainbow arena, Birmingham.

A quick trip down to Brum, turns into anything but quick when the motorway turn off is shut on both sides of the M6??? Who’s crazy idea is that???

Make it just in time as today has a 9p.m. curfew. We are playing an Electronic New Order set today all mixed together, just like the Classical in fact. We play well and for a support act are very well received. As we limber up for the main event the Arena fills up nicely. Then were on. The sound at the start is a bit ropey but soon comes together and after about 4 songs is rocking. Everyone plays great and nice to have Daz out of 808 State toasting tonight, as MC Tunes is busy. After we finish we drive to a hotel Gatwick ready for our early flight to Croatia. I have never been and am very excited.

Splitzka Festival, Primosten, Croatia.

Nice flight, thank the lord, and before we know it we are in Croatia. Which on first glance looks a lot like an unspoilt Greece. We have a short drive and unbelievably it is pissing down. The driver says they have had no rain for over 68 days, but we are Mancs…it follows us wherever we go! There is at least two foot of water on the roads now and we are very worried about the Festival. The driver laughs it off and sure enough within two hours everywhere is dry as a bone.

This is a lovely place and we get picked up for dinner later and driven into the hills to a beautiful rustic restaurant on top of a hill overlooking the ocean complete with a beautiful sunset…told you!

As we feast on home made bread, oil and olives, with a 8 hour baked lamb dish that is simply sensational, we are all sat they feeling really fat and realising we do not have long until we play….Oooops! There is nothing worse than playing on an overly full stomach…God we are getting old. Then back to the Fessie which is gorgeous and before we know it we are off. Great gig and a great crowd, loads of Bootleg Croation Joy Division T-shirts greet me.

A wonderful time, is had by all!

A lovely warm night makes for a lovely warm singer and I am wet through. Then a young lady approaches me asking for a hug,

I say, ‘I’m wet with sweat?’

‘It’s fine.’ She says.

Then as she hugs me she whispers in my ear,

‘I miss him.’

‘I miss him too.’ say I.

And off she waltzes. Great night. One odd sight backstage is this one bloke just sat on his own in a corner, sniffing away. When I ask who he is, it seems he is the festival drug dealer, offering all the normal stuff and the lads say he has done absolutely no business all day and now all night? That is brilliant. The old me would’ve adopted him but now I am delighted that the old drug thing now seems totally out of fashion. Last week in Magaluf on the strip, I was watching this guy approaching all the kids passing by, me thinking he was promoting a bar or something, and the kids were nice to him with quite a lot of backslapping but none stopped. Then he sauntered over to me, ‘Hey signor…you want cocaine?’ I smiled, if only he knew. You’ve not got enough in that rucksack for me dickhead. Ha Ha! I decline obviously, but am very heartened by all these kid’s reactions. He must have approached about 80 and every single one said no. I am delighted.

JUST KEEP SAYING NO KIDS!

Nice late start makes for a lovely easy morning and is only ruined by my usual legal work that has occupied my life for too long now. In the words of Ian Curtis….’Where will it end?’ Nice trip home surrounded by kids on the plane, which was different. A cool, damp Manchester welcomes us with open arms. And….no queue at Passport Control? Which makes a lovely change;)

Rebellion Festival 40 years of Punk, Blackpool.

Lovely to be asked back and to be celebrating 40 years of punk.

I cannot believe it is 40 years ago I started!!! The crowd here are so nice and friendly it is an absolute pleasure to play. I do a Q and A with John Robb and get to meet Brix Smith after too many years. I love Brix, a great woman and let’s face it we all make mistakes don’t we? Eh Mark;)

The old theatres in here are fantastic, with many old features still in place, including me, Hee Hee. I watch the Anti Nowhere League who are as mad as ever and then get told they are Nazi’s…eh? They are just like us…fat, old blokes singing bollocks. How could anyone take any of us seriously, anyway…back to the gig! We are playing in a 2000 seater and I am delighted to be told later that it was one in one out. We are the first band to fill out a venue in the festival. I don’t feel great tonight but have to admit it goes very well and we take roof off. As I drive home later past many of the places where I used to play as a boy, I sigh. I love Blackpool.

Rewind Festival, Cheshire.

Nice jaunt back to Cheshire with The B.E.F.

This is a great Festival, loads of fancy dress and a real party atmosphere. Older crowd, but I fit in perfectly. Nice to be asked back by Martin and lovely to meet the other featured artists. Mari Wilson (who I had a mad crush on when I was a kid, saw her play loads of times in Manc, loved the beehive!). A lovely relaxed day ensues and some wild people about, Jason Donovan, Rick Astley. I feel quite grungy in comparison. B.E.F are a great group and have another great line up, as we practice backstage in the true punk tradition everything is so relaxed it’s fantastic. Then we are on….Everything goes great and I even spot Sally, my trainer in the crowd at the front, a lovely surprise.

Nice to be home.

Just to finish off a lovely picture of me from 1981.

Thank you everybody, you’ve made an old man very happy.

Love Hooky ’16 xxx

‘Rock Star’ Ian Stalker Applies His Expertise to Nexus’ Projects

Source: Streetwise Reports 04/16/2019

The noted engineer, who has a track record of building companies and increasing their value, is now focusing on Nexus Gold.

J. Ian Stalker, who has had a longmore than 45 yearsand storied history in mining exploration, development and operations, including working in West Africa for more than a decade, has become the non-executive chairman of Nexus Gold Corp. (NXS:TXS.V; NXXGF:OTCQB), a gold exploration company with projects in Burkina Faso and Canada.

During his career, he has taken more than 10 mining projects through feasibility, development and construction phases, and has raised more than $500 million in capital investment.

His high-level positions in gold mining include stints as managing director of Ashanti Goldfields Co. Ltd., which later became AngloGold Ashanti; vice president of Gold Fields Ltd.; and CEO of Brazilian Gold Corp.

Companies under Stalker’s management have seen significant market cap growth. He was the CEO of UraMin, a uranium company that was acquired by Areva for $2.5 billion in 2007. As president and CEO of LSC Lithium, he guided that company to a recent $111 buy-out, a 30% increase in market price.

Alex Klenman, president and CEO of Nexus, told Streetwise Reports, “Ian has been on the Nexus board for almost one year, and is now stepping into a greater role as non-executive chairman. He has M&A success behind him, discovery success and development success.”

Ian Stalker told Streetwise Reports, “I was part of the team at Ashanti Goldfields when we went from producing 120,000 ounces a gold a year to over 1 million ounces a year by the end of 1998. We began to look at projects outside Ghana, where Ashanti was based, and we looked at Burkina Faso, Mali, a range of countries, so I got very familiar with that part of West Africa.”

“When the opportunity came up with Nexus, with a prolific exploration area under its control in Burkina Faso, I was very happy to take up the position of non-executive chairman with it,” Stalker explained. I was also attracted by the quality of the people; I am working with a really top-class group.”

“When Ian accepted my invitation to join the board,” Klenman explained, “Nexus was in the throes of a Howe Street death grip. We had 147 million shares out and the previous management had depleted the treasury. The share price was under $0.05.”

“The company has turned around. We have a little bit of money in the bank, we’re moving forward, we’ve had some success on the ground,” Klenman stated.

Ian Stalker’s “experience, knowledge and guidance will be of great benefit to the company, and of even greater importance as the next few years are critical in our growth cycle,” stated Klenman. “Having Ian on board in a more prominent and active position with Nexus is something our shareholders can be excited about. His track record in helping to grow company evaluations is impressive.”

Stalker joins Nexus’ chief geologist, VP of exploration Warren Robb, who also has a long history in West Africa. “He was Roxgold’s chief geologist in 201112 when the company discovered Yaramoko in Burkina Faso; it is now an extremely high-grade mine,” Klenman explained. “That mine essentially made the company.”

One of Nexus’ goals, Klenman stated, “is to become a larger player in West Africa in exploration and development.”

Jurisdictional risk can be a concern for investors. “On security issues, Burkina Faso has had a couple of incidents, which was never an issue when I traveled there in the 1990s and early 2000s,” Stalker stated. “But we have chosen an area where security is very solid; it’s been a very strategically controlled area by the government, so security-wise, you can discount a fair bit of the risk.”

“Additionally, there are a large number of mining companies right around us, so in the area where we are working there are known deposits both of size and economies where companies can mine gold on a regular basis and produce it in an economic fashion. That adds a lot of value to the exploration environment we find ourselves in,” Stalker explained.

The company’s primary and most advanced project is Bouboulou, located in central Burkina Faso; it was once owned by Roxgold, and at the time was known as Bissa West. Roxgold did some work on the property, but after the Yaramoko discovery, the property became available, and Nexus acquired it.

According to the company, drilling confirmed five mineralized zones on the 38-sq-km Bouboulou property and three different trends that cross Bouboulou in a southwestern direction. “We felt those trends were going to cross the 250-sq-km Rakounga property, so we acquired it, which gives us a combined contiguous package of about 288 sq km,” Klenman explained.

“We established three drill tested zones on the western flank for Rakounga. In a subsequent soil program, we were able to connect them at least in terms on anomalous surface; it’s about a 16-km trend, with eight known zones. We’ve put about 5060 holes down between the two concessions and are about a third or halfway to a resource estimate there, depending on how the next bit of work goes. We are hoping we can fill the gaps between the three zones at Rakounga and the five at Bouboulou.” Klenman stated.

Bouboulou/Rakounga is a typical West African open-pit, low-grade bulk tonnage project.

Nexus’ other two Burkina Faso properties, Niangouela and Dakouli, have a very different story.

“Warren Robb thought that the set-up at Niangouela, which is northeast of Bouboulou, was in his mind very similar to what he saw at Yaramoko, so we did a quick sample program, and came back with 2,950 g/t, 403 g/t samples, absolutely outrageous for West Africa,” Klenman stated.

Nexus then ran a drill program there, and got a 26 g/t hit over almost 5 meters. “More drilling showed us the nature of the beast, that it’s more of a spidery vein with high-grade shoots that requires a lot more money and a lot more drilling to get done, Klenman explained. “We like the grade there and will perhaps joint venture it out.”

Dakouli is the company’s latest addition in Burkina Faso, on which it obtained a nine-year mining lease. The property comprises 98 sq km just south of the Niangouela concession. The company was attracted by the artisanal activity on the property, miners digging down 4050 meters with 400600 meter strikes.

At Dakouli, Nexus conducted a very preliminary sample round and came back with “several gorgeous, beautiful visible gold in quartz chunks, very nuggety samples, which you don’t often see there,” Klenman stated. “They were 2629 g/t, just grab samples, but certainly what you want to see as a phase one or two on the property.”

Klenman noted that the company just completed another 100 samples at Dakouli and expects the results soon. “We are trying to build our visual databases as to where we think the best drill locations. We are currently doing a soil grid program there; the more data we can build at Dakouli, the better because there really is no history there. We’re going to have to make sure we build our data methodically over the next few months before we start a drill program, but we really like the grade at Dakouli and at Niangouela. I think there is a higher grade opportunity there.”

“From an overview position, there has been a significant amount of work to identify targets on the ground, and these were followed up by preliminary and secondary phase drilling. So we have a pretty good database, one in fact that brought on the streaming company, Sandstorm Gold Royalties, that came to look at our data and gave us money to continue our work a year ago,” Stalker stated.

With the funding the company has been raising and completing on, “we will run another drill program this year, which will be underway very soon,” Stalker noted. We hope that it will add to the growing knowledge of the geology in the area and provide a confirmation of the quality of the targets.”

“We are optimistic that at the end of this year and into next year, we will have a 43-101 resource available to us,” Stalker stated.

“All in all, in Burkina Faso we have over 550 sq km of ground, a sizeable package, all in the Boromo-Goren greenstone belts,” Klenman stated.

“It is a dual narrative. The majors will keep an eye on the low-grade, bulk-tonnage situations at Bouboulou/Rakounga. When we come to market with the size of the compliant resource, that will get some attention,” he said. “The retail investor may not be as excited about that, but they would certainly be excited about the high-grade results at Dakouli and perhaps more at Niangouela.”

Nexus has also been diversifying beyond West Africa. In January, the company completed the acquisition of the New Pilot Gold Project in the Bridge River Mining Camp in British Columbia. A second Canadian project, the McKenzie Gold Project in the Red Lake region of Northwestern Ontario, was acquired in February.

The Canadian properties provide year-round activity for Nexus. “We can work on the ground on the Canadian projects in the summer, when it’s rainy season in Burkina Faso, and the rest of the year in West Africa,” Klenman stated.

“The footprint in the Canadian camps, in a very steady, understandable and transparent part of the world, is balanced by the footprint in the Burkina Faso projects, which are hugely exciting from an exploration and potential point of view,” Stalker explained. “For investors, that makes for a very interesting investment decision and not just putting all your eggs in one basket.”

“I think there is the potential to grow Nexus not just into a Burkina Faso company, but to a much larger West African company, that adds a lot of potential value to the company and gives you that size one needs to have in order to get proper attention,” Stalker stated.

Nexus currently has 42 million shares outstanding, 61 million fully diluted. Sandstorm Gold Royalties is the largest shareholder, having taken a 17% equity stake in the first post-consolidation financing in May 2018, and it holds a 1% NSR on Bouboulou, Rakounga and Niangouela.

“Sandstorm will get its revenue when the projects go into production, so given that we are at the exploration and development stage in our lifecycle, that’s a tremendous vote of confidence,” Klenman explained.

Industry analysts have Nexus in their sights. Equity.Guru, in a February 12, 2019 update on the McKenzie project in the Red Lake Mining Camp, noted Nexus “will be active on at least five geologically prospective fronts this year. With 42.29 million shares outstanding and a $0.12 share price, Nexus has a market cap of $5.07M. That strikes me as a rock-bottom valuation for a company stacked with this much potential.”

Bob Moriarty of 321 Gold wrote on January 11, 2019, in an article titled “Nexus Delivers Gold,” the company “got approval for a new concession named Dakouli 2 in early November. The 100% owned Dakouli 2 property is contiguous with their Niangouela project that reported drill results of 26.69 g/t gold over 4.85 meters in March of 2017. If those numbers were for a project in the Golden Triangle, the stock would have tripled after the press release.”

“Nexus has quality gold projects in one of the most attractive countries in Africa with 3-4 million ounce potential. The company is so far off the radar screens of investors that it hasn’t even arrived at the airport. I don’t think the company is going up tenfold in the next month but if management can run a tight ship and plank the money into the ground, it has ten-bagger potential over the next year or so,” Moriarty added.
