Band of Brothers Ages: IRL vs. Actors

Did you know that according to a 1947 study, almost half the men who served in WWII were still under age 26 by the end of the war?

What this is : A (very long) post comparing the ages of the actors in Band of Brothers vs. the IRL figures they are portraying.

Background: Did I need to do this? No. Did anyone ask for this? Also no. Did I do it anyway? Yes.

Disclaimers: This is SUPER approximate for the most part. I based IRL ages off of D-Day unless otherwise noted, and actor ages off of January 1, 2000, the year filming took place (the latter is where the most variation will be because I didn't try to figure out what month filming started). I also didn't fact-check birthdays beyond googling. Most are sourced from the Band of Brothers and Military Wikis on fandom.com, Wikipedia, and IMDb.

I broke them up into rough categories, which are, again, approximate. I know I often forget how young the real life people were here, and this was a good reminder of that. I also found it interesting to see which actors were actually younger than their roles!

🌟Mfred's Best Books of 2022🌟

Comfort Me with Apples by Cathrynne M. Valente

Original Review

It’s a fairy tale retold, a myth re-examined. It’s a mystery, a thriller, and a horror story. But it’s so much more, too. I was mesmerized - trying to understand what was going on, then understanding too much, with a dawning sense of horror at how it would all end.

The Duke with the Dragon Tattoo by Kerrigan Byrne

Original Review

This book put me through the wringer, you guys. I came out the other end definitely dehydrated from crying so much, but also filled to the brim with love and life.

Even Though I Knew the End by CL Polk

Sapphic. Urban Fantasy. Noir. Do I need to say more? OK, I will anyway! Chicago in the winter. Dames smoking Chesterfields and hunting serial killers. Underground queer nightclubs. And magic! And a swoony romance!

Hell Followed With Us by Andrew Joseph White

Original Review

Don’t be fooled, Benji is really turning into a monster. White pulls no punches. Bloody, gruesome, and terrifying. It’s so queer, so righteously angry, so necessarily vengeful. But it also holds a place for the tenderness and hope we all need to truly survive.

Thirteens by Kate Alice Marshall

A spooky and super creepy Halloween read, especially for a children’s book! Plus, the power of friendship, loyalty, and believing in yourself.

The Mind and the Moon: My Brother's Story, the Science of Our Brains, and the Search for Our Psyches by Daniel Bergner

Challenges the science behind mental illness and standard pharmaceutical treatments. At once eye-opening, engrossing, and also emotional.

A Mirror Mended by Alix E. Harrow

Lucky you! If you didn’t read the first in this series, you now get to read both amazing books! This time we see what happens when the Evil Queen wants a better ending to her story. And also what it means to survive a happy ending.

My Killer Vacation by Tessa Bailey

Original Review

I loved Myles. I loved his struggle. Every time Taylor did or said something, his heart clenched or he got sweaty or he desperately wanted to kiss her. He’s big, he’s tattooed, he’s unshaven and rides a motorcycle and he is a total dummy about his emotions. It’s great.

Paper Girls, Vols 1-6 by Brian K. Vaughn, Cliff Chiang, Matt Wilson, & Jared K. Fletcher

Friendship! Time travel! The 1980s! A war between teenagers vs. grownups! This graphic novel series has it all. And the artwork is amazing.

Patricia Wants to Cuddle by Samantha Allen

Ok, how do you feel about The Bachelor? Cryptids? Horrifically funny violence? This book is so weird and also so, so amazing.

Runaway Girl by Tessa Bailey

A poor little rich girl who really isn’t and a bear of a man dealing with unimaginable loss. Slow burn but awesome tension and chemistry throughout. Plus, the emotional wallop of falling in love. Everything good about romance novels.

Such Sharp Teeth by Rachel Harrison

Original Review

Amazing. A novel about anger, trauma, families, romance, trusting others, and werewolves. It really takes a good, hard look at why and when and how and how often we get angry– and how we treat others and ourselves when we rage. The werewolf metaphor is grrrreat (see what I did there?) for examining what it means to be an angry woman, in/out of control.

We Keep the Dead Close: A Murder at Harvard and a Half Century of Silence by Becky Cooper

Original Review

It took me almost two months to finish this book. But it wasn’t boring or slow. In fact, for such a lengthy book, it’s a real page turner. And it’s a fascinating blend of true crime, non fiction and memoir– how Cooper finds her own voice in the story of Jane Britton’s murder.

#best of 2022 #best books of 2022 #hell followed with us #comfort me with apples #such sharp teeth #thirteens #my killer vacation #runaway girl #patricia wants to cuddle #paper girls #a mirror mended #the mind and the moon #the duke with the dragon tattoo #we keep the dead close #book reviews #even though I knew the end

New research casts doubt on role of fungus in driving pancreatic cancer

Four years ago, a report that a common species of fungus might fuel pancreatic cancer offered a promising new view of the deadly disease. But in working to validate the finding, Duke Health researchers have found no such association. In a study appearing online Aug. 3 in the journal Nature, the Duke researchers conducted a multi-pronged analysis of data from the earlier study and found no link between the pancreatic microbiome and the development of pancreatic cancer. “We were intrigued by the original finding, as were many research teams,” said senior author Peter Allen, M.D., professor in the Department of Surgery and chief of the Division of Surgical Oncology at Duke University School of Medicine. “There is a growing body of literature connecting the human microbiome to disease, and this was particularly compelling for pancreatic cancer,” Allen said. “But our findings did not support an association between fungi and the development of pancreatic cancer in humans.” Allen and colleagues worked to recreate the 2019 findings published in Nature by a different research team. The original study raised hopes that there might be a possible method of preventing pancreatic cancer with the use of antifungals or some other approach to protect from infection. Focusing on the research team’s original raw sequencing data, the Duke researchers were unable to reproduce the findings. Additional studies, using pancreatic cancer tissue in Duke repositories, also failed to produce the original results. “We believe our findings highlight the challenges of using low biomass samples for microbiome sequencing studies,” Allen said. “The inclusion of appropriate negative controls and efforts to identify and remove sequencing contaminants is critical to the interpretation of microbiome data.” In addition to Allen, study authors include Ashley A. Fletcher, Matthew S. Kelly, and Austin M. Eckhoff. The work was funded by the Duke University School of Medicine through a grant from the Duke Microbiome Center. Kelly and Eckhoff receive funding from the National Institutes of Health (K23-AI135090, T32-CA093245).

Ginger Minj Pays Tribute To Drag Mother Bette Midler With Spooky Music Video

Ginger Minj is getting the spooky season in full swing with a spirited new tackle a Halloween traditional. On Friday, the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” alum unveiled the music video for her jazzy model of “I Put a Spell on You” from the film “Hocus Pocus.” The tune’s launch coincides with Minj’s look within the movie’s much-buzzed-about sequel, which debuted on Disney+ final week. The clip options Minj in full Winifred Sanderson drag, alongside queens Gidget Galore and MR MS Adrien as sister witches Mary and Sarah, respectively. Followers of 1993’s “Hocus Pocus,” which starred Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy and Sarah Jessica Parker because the Sanderson sisters, will discover a lot of the film’s iconic scenes faithfully recreated ― albeit with a contemporary polish. Watch the video for “I Put a Spell on You” beneath. “It’s the season of the witch!” Minj, whose actual identify is Joshua Allen Eads, instructed HuffPost in an interview. “You may stroll into any homosexual bar within the nation between Sept. 1 and Nov. 1, and most certainly you’ll discover a trio of queens lip-syncing this tune. I believed: ‘It’s been 29 years, let’s give it slightly facelift!’” The “I Put a Spell on You” video is directed by Minj’s husband, CeeJay Russell, additionally a longtime “Hocus Pocus” devotee. “I’ve at all times wished to direct my husband in a video,” Russell mentioned in an e-mail, “and when he requested me, I jumped on the alternative.” Minj, a Florida native, was a finalist on the seventh season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” which aired in 2015. Since then, she’s launched three studio albums and appeared in a lot of films, together with Netflix’s “Dumplin,’” starring Jennifer Aniston and Danielle Macdonald. “She’s my new drag mother,” Minj mentioned of her “Hocus Pocus 2” co-star Bette Midler. Dimitrios Kambouris through Getty Photos The truth is, it was Minj’s work on “Dumplin’” that led to her “Hocus Pocus 2” casting. Final yr, she was performing as sea witch Ursula in a “Disney Villains” present in England when she obtained a name from “Dumplin’” director Anne Fletcher, who’d not too long ago been employed to direct “Hocus Pocus 2.” “Subsequent factor I do know, I’m arguing on-camera with Bette Midler about enamel,” quipped Minj, who seems as a drag model of Winifred Sanderson within the movie alongside two different “Drag Race” veterans, Kahmora Corridor and Kornbread “The Snack” Jeté, as Sarah and Mary Sanderson. As to what she discovered from working with the Divine Miss M herself, she added: “She’s my new drag mother.” Originally published at San Jose News HQ

Ann Harding and William Powell in Double Harness (John Cromwell, 1933) Cast: Ann Harding, William Powell, Lucile Browne, Henry Stephenson, Lilian Bond, George Meeker, Reginald Owen, Kay Hammond, Leigh Allen, Hugh Huntley, Wallis Clark, Fred Santley. Screenplay: Jane Murfin, based on a play by Edward Poor Montgomery. Cinematography: J. Roy Hunt. Art direction: Charles M. Kirk, Van Nest Polglase. Film editing: George Nichols Jr. Double Harness is a rather brittle comedy of manners that might be better known if it hadn't vanished for years, owing to a dispute between producer Merian C. Cooper and RKO. Because it was withheld from release until Turner Classic Movies obtained the rights to it in 2007, we had one less opportunity to see Ann Harding, once expected to become a major Hollywood star on the strength of her looks and her stage-trained voice, the latter a great asset in the early years of talking pictures. Harding gives a good performance in Double Harness, but she lacked the vivid personality of actresses of the period who became bigger stars, like Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, and Barbara Stanwyck, so her career never quite took off. She plays Joan Colby, member of a well-to-do family that finds itself on the skids in the depression, so that she and her giddy sister, Valerie (Lucile Browne), need to marry well in order to regain status. Valerie does marry, but her spendthrift ways keep her on the hunt for money to pay the debts she hides from her husband. Joan is taken with John Fletcher (William Powell), heir to a successful shipping company but more interested in playing polo than in running the business -- or in getting married. Joan overcomes the latter obstacle by a trick: She arranges for her father (Henry Stephenson) to discover her in Fletcher's apartment, which she has more or less moved into, one night. Fletcher does the right thing and marries her, unaware that he's been tricked, but he and Joan also come to an agreement that they will divorce after a suitable period of time elapses. Naturally, they begin to fall more deeply in love, as Fletcher begins to realize that Joan has not only made life more pleasant for him, she has also begun to take a hand in his shipping business. But then Valerie spills the beans about how Joan had tricked Fletcher into marrying her, and an old flame of his, Monica Page (Lilian Bond), takes advantage of his anger and tries to snare him for herself. And so on to the anticipated outcome. Double Harness is a little too arch and stagey for its own good, and the idea that a man might have to marry a young woman because she's found in his apartment at night was a little old-fashioned even at the time, but Harding and Powell do what they can with the material.

Cancelled ships of WWII

Shortly before and during WWII, the U.S. Navy set about building a Fleet to meet the Axis head on and win. To due this, the Navy needed build a large number of ships, so it could effectively operate in both in the Atlantic and Pacific theaters.

By 1945, the war in the Atlantic and Pacific could be won with the ships already completed. So, starting in March, a number of ships were cancelled. The largest number were cancelled in August and shortly after the surrender of Japan. Final cancellations happened in 1946, as the military budget was being cutback.

Note: This list contains ships ordered or were intended to be completed during WWII but never completed/commissioned. It doesn't contain ships whose construction was suspended and completed at a later time.

Note: I have updated the list with some of the expected commission date.

Aircraft Carrier

Reprisal (CV-35), Essex Class, expected commission July 1946

Unnamed (CVB-44), Midway Class

Iwo Jima (CV-46), Essex Class, expected commission, expected commission November 1946

Unnamed (CV-50), Essex Class, expected commission December 1946

Unnamed (CV-51), Essex Class, expected commission July 1947

Unnamed (CV-52), Essex Class, expected commission October 1947

Unnamed (CV-53), Essex Class, expected commission September 1947

Unnamed (CV-54), Essex Class, expected commission July 1947

Unnamed (CV-55), Essex Class, expected commission November 1947

Unnamed (CVB-56), Midway Class, expected commission June 1947

Unnamed (CVB-57), Midway Class, expected commission November 1947

Battleship

Illinois (BB-65), Iowa Class, expected commission June 1947

Kentucky (BB-66), Iowa Class, expected commission September 1946

Note: see my other post on their cancellation, link.

Montana (BB-67), Montana Class

Ohio (BB-68), Montana Class

Maine (BB-69), Montana Class

New Hampshire (BB-70), Montana Class

Louisiana (BB-71), Montana Class

Note: the Montana Class was ordered in 1940, but were delayed due to the need for more carriers and later cancelled when it became apparent carriers were the new capital ship. There are other reasons but it's better to do a separate post on them. They were originally expected to be commissioned between July and November 1945.

Cruiser

Buffalo (CL-84), Cleveland Class

Newark (CL-88), Cleveland Class

Note: these two were cancelled due to issues with the Federal Shipbuilding and Drydock Company.

Youngstown (CL-94), Cleveland Class, expected commission August 1946

Newark (CL-108), Fargo Class, expected commission April 1946.

New Haven (CL-109), Fargo Class, expected commission July 1946

Buffalo (CL-110), Fargo Class, expected commission August 1946

Wilmington (CL-111), Fargo Class, expected commission December 1946

Vallejo (CL-112), Fargo Class

Helena (CL-113), Fargo Class

Roanoke (CL-114), Fargo Class

Unnamed (CL-115), Fargo Class

Tallahassee (CL-116), Fargo Class, expected commission August 1946

Cheyenne (CL-117), Fargo Class, expected commission December 1946

Chattanooga (CL-118), Fargo Class, expected commission February 1947

Unnamed (CA-149), Des Moines Class, expected commission November 1947

Note: this class of unnamed cruisers were to be anti-aircraft cruisers and the natural evolution of the Atlanta, Juneau and Worcester Classes. They were ordered in 1945 but never assigned names or laid down before being cancelled

Note: there were a further 8 Worcester Class cruisers planned but never ordered and don't have hull numbers assigned to them.

Large Cruiser

Hawaii (CB-3), Alaska Class, expected commission May 1946.

Note: she was nearly finished after the war but like Alaska and Guam, she didn't have purpose anymore. Several conversion proposal were drawn to use her but none were chosen.

Philippines (CB-4), Alaska Class

Puerto Rico (CB-5), Alaska Class

Samoa (CB-6), Alaska Class

Destroyer

Watson (DD-482), Fletcher Class

12 Allen M. Sumner Class destroyers

54 Gearing Class Destroyers

Escort Carrier

16 Commencement Bay Class Carriers

Submarine

62 Balao Class Submarines

51 Trench Class Submarines

It should be noted, a lot of the ships ordered in 1944 and 1945 were for Operation Downfall, the planned invasion of mainland Japan if they had not surrendered. But also, the massive building program was institute to overwhelmed the Axis with superior numbers, just like the Air Corps and Army did with aircraft and tanks.

Strap in for a bit of a doozy, folks, this one’s weird! But good!! I promise!

If you like my brand of Allen60 prairie aesthetic but want some horror, give this lil fic a go!

Fletcher Allen may live an isolated life, but he's certainly not lonely.

He's never alone, either.

Rating: M (for horror imagery), Chapters: 1/1

Split: Eine Karikatur psychischer Krankheiten

Split (2016) ist ein Psycho-Thriller, in dem James McAvoy auf meisterhafte Weise den Entführer Kevin mit einer dissoziativen Identitätsstörung -und somit acht unterschiedliche Persönlichkeiten- darstellt. Kevin entführt zu Anfang des Films drei Teenager; Claire, Martha und Casey (eine fantastische Anya Taylor-Joy), und sperrt sie in seinen Keller. Schnell stellt sich heraus, dass Kevin verschiedene Persönlichkeiten hat – 24 verschiedene um genau zu sein. Brian, der stilbewusste Modeschöpfer, Hedwig, ein lispelnder Neunjähriger, Dennis, der Kontrollfreak, und die sittenstrenge Miss Patricia – sie alle kämpfen mit weiteren rivalisierenden Ichs um die seelische Vorherrschaft. Während die Mädchen fieberhaft nach einer Fluchtmöglichkeit suchen, schaut Kevin immer wieder bei seiner Psychiaterin Dr. Fletcher (Betty Buckley) vorbei, der schnell klar wird, dass ihr langjähriger Patient ihr etwas zu verschweigen versucht.

James McAvoy glänzt in seiner Rolle als Kevin wie nie zuvor. Die Art und Weise, wie sich sein ganzes Wesen durch das Abwechseln der verschiedenen Persönlichkeiten verändern zu scheint, ist atemberaubend. Vielleicht wäre deswegen die Überlegung, einen Film allein um McAvoy zu machen, durchaus sinnvoll gewesen, anstatt unzählige Charaktere halbherzig einzuführen. Seine faszinierend-facettenreiche Darstellung ist das Herzstück des Films und lässt den Zuschauer über Filmfehler und problematische Thematiken fast hinwegsehen. Es ist Regisseur M. Night Shyamalan viel wichtiger, der Wirklichkeit einen Schubser ins Fantastische zu geben, als ein medizinisch stichhaltiges Porträt von DIS zu liefern. Die schlussendliche Verwandlung des Entführers in ein omnipotentes Biest und das Fazit, geschadete Menschen seien allen anderen Überlegen, wirkt wie eine Karikatur psychischer Krankheiten. Das Stigma, das sich durch solche Filme bildet, schadet nicht nur Betroffenen, sondern auch der gesamten Gesellschaft. Endlich damit anzufangen, psychische Krankheiten nicht zu verteufeln, wäre ein großer Schritt für alle Beteiligten. Auch die mangelnde Recherche zu dissoziativen Identitätsstörungen gibt den Eindruck, Shyamalan habe sich die meisten Aspekte der Krankheit einfach ausgedacht, um dem eigenen Plot gerecht zu werden.

Die oberflächliche Darstellung des Krankheitsbildes und der Hauptfiguren schadet dem Spannungsbogen jedoch kaum. Der Film versteht es, aus einer fröhlich wirkenden Szene innerhalb von Sekunden umzuschlagen und bis ins Mark zu erschrecken. Die beängstigende Umgebung und die Unberechenbarkeit der Hauptfigur tauchen das Katz-und-Maus-Spiel bis zum Ende des Films in Spannung und Überraschungen. Dennoch hat der Film einige kurze langatmige Momente. Da die Schauspielerinnen, die neben Anya Taylor-Joy inszeniert wurden, nicht überzeugen können, wirkt der Film häufig eher wie eine ungewollte Komödie. Das Töten sexualisierter Figuren und das Überleben des unschuldigen und gebrochenen Mädchens überzeugt nicht. Auch den Dialogen fehlt es beizeiten an Menschlichkeit und Überzeugungskraft.
