Beauty and the Beast was a TV series starring Linda Hamilton and Ron Perlman in the 1980's. George R.R. Martin was one of the writers and producers. It's also strange. This will be my last video for a long time as I'll be giving birth in three weeks.

For no particular reason... I believe this is the only picture that exists today of Ron Perlman mid-transformation into Vincent. That's Rick Baker applying the make-up, so it had to be in the very early stages of refining the face that would become the Beast we saw on our TVs. Once the pilot started shooting, Perlman refused to allow any photographs to be taken while he underwent the daily four to six hour process of becoming Vincent.
This is film and SFX makeup history, folks.

(April 26th, 2023)
An (incomplete?) List of Beauty and the Beast (1987) novels on the Web Archive:
Beauty and the Beast: A Novel, by Barbara Hambly, Here
Updated, much more superior version (added here August 10th 2023) Can be found here
(This is a novelization of the first episode (1x01) and introduction to the world.' The Updated link contains an accessible EPUB version of this out of print book, which means it is searchable, and your preferred e reader can change the font and font sizes for accessibility, as well as able to use text-to-speech. )
Beauty and the Beast: Masques, by Ru Emerson, currently not available
Update: August 10th 2023: a scan of this out of print book can be found here. I'll update the post here when the full accessible version is done.... eventually. If anyone has a bunch of free time and patience who doesn't mind editing work shoot me a PM if you want to help out lol.
(This is, assumedly, a sequel to the first novel, and I'm not sure where it is set within the show timeline or if it's its own continuity within the novels like the Quantum Leap novels are This is a Novelization of the 1x05 episode "Masques"-- the episode in question originally aired October 30th, 1987 and was written by Ron Koslow and George R. R. Martin. Yeah. that George R. R. Martin. This novelization is by Ru Emerson.
Beauty and the Beast: Song of Orpheus, by Barbara Hambly, Here
(this is a sequel to Masques, assumedly making the novels a trilogy This is a novelization of episode 1x08, of the same title.)
Above and Below: A guide to Beauty and the Beast Here
(This is the official guide to the show )
The Unofficial Tale of Beauty and the Beast Here
(As the name implies, this is an unofficial guide to the show)
And that's all I could find, or find info for! Keep checking back here to the original post (instead of basing it solely on reblogs) if you're interested in reading them all, as I will update the post when/if I find a link to Masques on the archive to complete this series :) And if you know of any other books, especially if they're on the Archive, let me know and i'll edit them in!

Authors note at the end of Angel of Vengeance: The Novel That Inspired the TV Show 'Moonlight
By Trevor O. Munson
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Text version
A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR
I came up with the idea for Angel of Vengeance and the character Mick Angel sometime in 2005. At that point, I had already had a long love affair with vampires, but I'd never written anything in the genre. To me it was only a worthwhile pursuit if I had a new and fresh way in to the vampire mythos. The idea for a hard-boiled, noir vampire story came to me after rereading Dracula and following it up with a Raymond Chandler novel. Blending two of the genres I loved best by creating a bloodsucking Phillip Marlowe who was turned in the forties, and continued on as a living anachronism in the present day seemed like it held a lot of potential to be that story The novel that resulted is a much darker tale than that depicted in Moonlight, the TV show that eventually evolved from it. Having gone down a promising, but ultimately dead-end road with a previous unpublished crime novel, I decided the best route to publication was to return to my Hollywood roots by adapting the manuscript into a feature screenplay, and work backwards to publishing the novel. The result was that I ended up being put together with Ron Koslow (creator of Beauty and the Beast, and a man I have come to consider a good friend and mentor) to create a pilot for CBS for the 2006 development season. What Ron and I came up with was, in many ways, a lighter, more romantic version of the dark noir Los Angeles underbelly I had created in the book, but it retained many of the novel's themes of redemption and transcendence. The mandate from CBS was that they loved the main character and the vampire world, but they wanted the show to have a strong romantic
angle. As a result, one of the first challenges Ron and I faced was to find a romantic core for the story to revolve around. We decided that Coraline was far too dark and dangerous a femme fatale to be Mick's constant love interest. As a potential solution, I mentioned to Ron that although there was no Mick/ Beth romance in my first novel, Mick does save a little girl from Coraline, and I had been thinking of exploring the ensuing romance between Mick and the grown up girl he watches over in a later novel, which I planned to call "Guardian Angel". He liked the idea. With Ron on board, the concept for Moonlight was born, and together he and I hashed out a new mythology for the characters that would come to populate the series. A whirlwind year and a half later, despite having built a strong and rabid fan-base, and winning the People's Choice Award for best new drama, the show had sadly come and gone, and I had yet to find a publisher for the novel that spawned it. For a while, it looked as if the window was gone, and that perhaps the book would never be published at all. But much like vampires themselves, a good vampire story dies hard, and in the past year, with the help of those who continued to believe in it, the manuscript found its way into the hands of the good people at Titan who offered to publish it. As a result, my longterm plan to work backwards to the novel has finally come to be. I hope you have enjoyed the read as much as I enjoyed the writing of it. It was truly a labor of love and love lost for me.

The Wikipedia article of the day for November 1, 2019 is No Such Thing as Vampires. "No Such Thing as Vampires" is the pilot episode of the American paranormal romance television drama Moonlight. Premiering on CBS on September 28, 2007, it was written by series creators and executive producers Trevor Munson and Ron Koslow and directed by executive producer Rod Holcomb. The pilot introduces Mick St. John (Alex O'Loughlin, pictured), a private investigator and a vampire, along with his love interest Beth Turner (Sophia Myles), his mentor Josef Kostan (Jason Dohring), and his ex-wife Coraline Duvall (Shannyn Sossamon). Originally titled Twilight, the project was renamed and recast when picked up by CBS for the 2007–2008 American television season. Although received poorly by critics, the pilot managed to finish first for its night among total viewers and adults 18–49. Many critics faulted the acting and writing, but some thought that the series showed promise, and Dohring's performance was praised.

So I think one of the things I love most about Ron Koslow's Beauty and the Beast is that Vincent doesn't transform into a handsome prince once he earns a woman's love. His transformation is all within.
The one issue I've always had with any Beauty and the Beast trope (a tale I've loved almost since I was in diapers) is that the storytellers always assumed that the Beauty should (and would want to) be rewarded with the perfect looking man, every woman's dream, at the end of the story. But there I was, always asking, "What happened to the Beast? Bring back the Beast, I liked him better."
So thanks, Koslow, for giving me the first taste of my ideal Beast. And thanks to GRRM for giving it to me again in Sandor Clegane.
Cheers to the Beasts that stay that way! 🍷

Anatomy of a Scene
Introduction
A movie synopsis is a short storyline that summarizes the film or movie and covers all of the screenplay's acts, highlighting key plot points. The summary is written to give people an idea about a movie before they watch it. They also clarify the movie's plot and serve as selling tools for prospective producers and actors looking for television and movie products. In light of this, the paper elaborates on the properties of the films Moonlight and Black Klansman and a scene from Black Klansman.
Tumblr media
Moonlight
Trevor Munson and Ron Koslow served as executive producers on the American paranormal romance television drama Moonlight. The pilot introduces a private investigator, Mick St John, a vampire for more than fifty years, in the film (MAININGRUM, 2018). At the part of the manslaughter of a young lady, the investigator meets a reporter from a local newspaper, and they begin assisting each other in locating the murderer. During the investigation, Beth, the reporter, learns that Mick is a vampire, and Mick explains how he came to be a vampire and recounts their bridal night. Beth requests that Mick assist her acquaintance Morgan in locating her taken cameras. Mick encounters Morgan and is taken aback because Morgan looks exactly like his ex-wife, Coraline. Mick is even extra perplexed when his vampire wisdom of smell informs him that Morgan is hominid. Beth studies that Morgan is Coraline. Mick and Beth get into a relationship, kiss each other, and go on their first date to a restaurant. Unfortunately, they can't continue dating because of Mick's vampire-human situation, even though Mick confesses that she loves Beth.
Tumblr media
Black Klansman
Black Klansman is an American biographical black entertainment crime film written by David Wachtel and Sprink Lee in 2018. The star featured in the movie is Ron Stallworth, alongside Topher Grace and Laura Harrier (Stallworth, 2018). Ron Stallworth is employed as the central black colonel at the Colorado Springs, Colorado law enforcement department in the early 1970s. Stallworth is allocated initially to work in the record-keeping room, where he was subjected to ethnic epithets from his colleagues. Stallworth needs a transmission to go secretly and gets assigned to penetrate a native rally where national civic rights frontrunner Kwame Ture is scheduled to speak. Stallworth encounters Patrice Dumas, the leader of Colorado College's black scholar union, at the rally. Patrice is driving Ture to his hotel when he is forced to stop by Andy Landers, a corrupt, chauvinistic officer in Stallworth's sector, who looms Ture and sexually assaults Patrice.
Analysis
In the film Black Klansman, they dance to the song "Too late to turn back." (Stallworth, 2018). The dance scene is unique in that everyone dances to the song's tone and expresses their emotions. This scene is significant because everyone in the background has feelings triggered by a specific mood present in a particular location. The dance scene is dramatic because everyone has to dance to the tone of the song "Too late to turn back." The background is not as dark as the main themes because people express their emotions in the dance scene.
Conclusion
In conclusion, a movie synopsis is essential because they summarize what a film or a specific movie is about. The resume is important because some people like to read the overview before watching a movie or film to get a sense of the movie or film. For example, Moonlight and Black Klansman plots are well defined, allowing interested parties to read them before watching the two films set in America.
