Happy Shakespeare Day (the observation* of William Shakespeare's 460th birthday)

To celebrate, here's Shakespearean actor Emma Fielding reading Shakespeare's Sonnet 60 -- all about the passage of time, growing from a baby to old age, the inevitability of death, and ending on the hope that this poem will live on, in spite of Time. So it seems appropriate.

Eye contact. Open captions.

[Note: in Shakespeare's pronunciation, "sequent" (i.e.: sequential) is a perfect pun for "second." I think if you told him he wasn't allowed to pun, his brain would go into buffering mode]

*We don't know exactly what day Shakespeare was born; we're guessing based on the record of his baptism, and that we know he died on April 23rd. And we like round numbers.

Sanditon season 3 — some thoughts

Sanditon came to an end with season 3, watchable in the UK via ITVX. It’s the final outing (Christmas special anyone?) for this extended Jane Austen adaptation, and I’d say if you enjoyed the first two, this is a no-brainer. It’s a little less dark, inevitably ends in a wave of marriages, and, if running out of steam, manages a few nice twists. Less dark Where Sir Edward Deham (Jack Fox) was…

"THE SUSPICIONS OF MR. WHICHER: THE MURDER AT ROAD HILL HOUSE" (2011) Review

Roughly five years ago, a relative of mine had suggested I watch a BBC television movie about a Victorian-era murder story. Although it aired on the Amazon Prime Video streaming channel (and still does to this day), I had assumed it was a documentary. To my surprise, it turned out to be a television movie called "THE SUSPICIONS OF MR. WHICHER: THE MURDER AT ROAD HILL HOUSE".

Before watching the movie, I had quickly discovered that the production was an adaptation of Kate Summerscale's 2008 non-fiction book, "The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher or The Murder at Road Hill House", winner of Britain's Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction for that year. Hence, the reason why I had initially assumed this was a documentary. The book was an account of the real-life murder of three year-old Francis Saville Kent in 1860 Wiltshire. Francis, the three year-old son of a "Factory Commissioner" for the Home Office named Samuel Saville Kent, was found murdered on the Road Hill House estate in Wiltshire, leased by his father. The child's nursemaid, Elizabeth Gough, had announced his disappearance. Two estate hands eventually found Francis' body inside a privy-house, with knife wounds on his chest and hands, and his throat deeply slashed. Outrage over the brutal murder of a prominent man's child, Scotland Yard had dispatched Detective Inspector Jack Whicher to solve the case.

Whicher's assignment to the case proved to be a godsend for Gough, who immediately fell under the suspicions of Police Superintendent John Foley of nearby Trowbridge. The latter would have pressed for her arrest if Whicher had not cleared her of any further suspicions. However, the Scotland Yard detective's suspicions rested on another member of the household, namely Kent's sixteen year-old daughter, Constance Emily Kent. Whicher also began to suspect Constance's brother, fifteen year-old William Saville Kent. The detective believed Constance (with her brother's help) had sought revenge against their former nanny, Mary Pratt Kent, who had married their father following the death of their mother. There had been suspicions that Kent and his second wife had an affair during his marriage to Constance and William's mother. Since young Francis had been conceived during their father's second marriage, Whicher suspected Constance or both of them of murdering the three year-old boy.

"THE SUSPICIONS OF MR. WHICHER: THE MURDER AT ROAD HILL HOUSE" did not strike me one of the most fascinating murder mysteries I have seen on film or television. This did not surprise me, considering the television movie proved to be more of a fictionalized account of an actual case that had been solved over 160 years ago. I would say "THE MURDER AT ROAD HILL HOUSE" was more of a historical drama or a "true life" crime movie than a murder mystery. After all, it did not take the protagonist very long to produce a believable suspect, halfway into the narrative. The movie eventually became a mental tug-of-war between Whicher and Constance, in which the former struggled to convince the latter to confess to the murder. At the same time, Whicher and his close friend and colleague, Adolphus "Dolly" Williamson, raced to find physical evidence to support his suspicions. Despite their success in discovering hard evidence against Constance, the pair's efforts ended up being stymied or sabotaged by Superintendent Foley, head of the local police. Not only did Foley resented an outsider becoming the lead investigator in the Kent case, he seemed offended that any working-class man would accuse the sixteen year-old daughter of a respectable, middle-class citizen like Samuel Kent, of murder. What made this even worse for Whicher is that many of the locals and the media seemed to share Foley's class bias.

I have to give kudos for the movie's production values. I believe David Roger's production designs really captured the look and style of 1860s Britain. And I believe he did so without being either extravagant or cheap. Roger's work was ably assisted by Jo Kornstein's set decorations, Kate Evenden's art direction and Matt Gray's photography. Lucinda Wright's costume designs managed to perfectly captured Roger's balanced look for the movie's setting. Were her costumes accurate for 1860s Britain? I honestly cannot say so. Regardless of accuracy, I do believe Wright's costumes managed to perfectly captured the essence of the movie's characters across both gender and class.

"THE SUSPICIONS OF MR. WHICHER: THE MURDER AT ROAD HILL HOUSE" featured some solid performances. At least from the supporting cast. Performers like William Beck, Emma Fielding, Kate O'Flynn, Tim Piggott-Smith, Ben Miles, Donald Sumpter, Charlie Hiett, Julian Firth, Sarah Ridgeway and Antony Byrne all gave competent and solid performances. However, I believe a few did give what I consider to be the movie's best performances. Naturally, I felt Paddy Considine was sensational as the solid, yet intelligent Jack Whicher. I thought he did a superb job of conveying Whicher's growing frustration of the impediments that made his investigation to reach a successful conclusion. Equally sensational was Alexandra Roach, who gave an enigmatic and skillful performance as the cool and supercilious Constance Kent. Peter Capaldi's portrayal of Constance's father, Samuel Savill Kent, struck me as surprisingly complex and ambiguous. Capaldi did a great job of conveying hints that the public's suspicions of his character might be justified. I also found myself very impressed by Tom Georgeson's performance as the narrow-minded Superintendent Foley. The actor did an excellent job of portraying his character's class bigotry and resentment toward Whicher's role in the investigation.

As murder mysteries go, "THE SUSPICIONS OF MR. WHICHER: THE MURDER AT ROAD HILL HOUSE" seemed like an ineffectual effort. When the main protagonist manages to discover the true culprit halfway into the production, it seems a waste of time to label the movie as a murder mystery. However, "THE SUSPICIONS OF MR. WHICHER: THE MURDER AT ROAD HILL HOUSE" proved to be a very effective and well-done historical drama about a famous murder case, thanks to a skillful direction from James Hawes, a first-rate adaptation written by Neil McKay and superb performances from a cast led by Paddy Considine. As a fictionalized account of a famous true crime, the television movie proved to be quite fascinating.

TV Review: Cranford

TV Review: Cranford Such a fun rewatch, though I'd forgotten how much they put poor Miss Matty through

As the nights darken, a rewatch of the delightful Cranford might be just the thing “What about the trout? ‘The trout can wait'” I’ve long been planning a rewatch of Cranford as I’ve never actually seen it again since it aired back in 2008 and happily, it didn’t disappoint. What I didn’t remember though, is how much it is Dame Judi Dench torture porn as her Miss Matty is put through the wringer in…

With costume reuse comes another kind of reuse – fabric. The distinctively colored striped silk fabric has also been used for a costume seen in Return to Cranford and Belgravia.

This waistcoat has been used in several productions depicting the late 18th century through the 19th century. It first turned up in the 1999 TV series The Scarlet Pimpernel, in both the second and third episode of the first season, where it was worn by Anthony Green as Andrew Ffoulkes.

From there, it was briefly used in the 2008 sixth episode of the miniseries John Adams, where Zak Orth wore it as James McHenry.

It appeared next in the 2009 miniseries adaptation of Jane Austen’s Emma, where Robert Bathurst wore the waistcoat as the character Mr.Weston.

Most recently, the piece showed up in the first episode of the 2024 show The Completely Made Up Adventures of Dick Turpin, where Noel Fielding wore it in the title role.

I'll never understand the side of the internet that believes The Amazing Spider-Man movies are the worst superhero movies ever made because they REALLY aren't.

Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone are lightning in a bottle as Peter and Gwen. SALLY FREAKING FIELD as Aunt May.

I especially like how the films move — or swing — through grief and coming of age with heart and humor and heroics from Peter AND Gwen AND May, etc.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is proof that the trilogy was only improving, and it’s still such a shame we never got that third movie.

I’ll NEVER get over how phenomenal Andrew Garfield is in his Spider-Man suit.

His physicality breathes life into his iteration of the iconic role. It’s incredible. Garfield’s Peter FEELS like a comic book character come to life in The Amazing Spider-Man movies — and No Way Home.

(The Promised Neverland Art Book World)

Ah yes, one of my favorite genres of baby full score trio pictures: Isabella being openly affectionate toward Emma and Norman in front of Ray while being hands off with him.

(Chapter 2 | Chapter 37 | Chapter 165 | Chapter 170 | Chapter 177)

#and by favorite I mean “I am in physical agony. I am violently sobbing. I am eating the dry wall.”#Isabella before Ray's sixth birthday: man what is up with this kid he's more prickly than a porcupine (not even touching on his hair)#Isabella on January 15‚ 2040: ah.#The Promised Neverland #Yakusoku no Neverland #TPN #YnN #The Promised Neverland Art Book World #FSS Chatter #Full Score Trio #TPN Isabella #TPN Emma #TPN Norman #TPN Ray #Isabella and Ray's Incredibly Fraught and Complicated Relationship Tag #Pre-Canon #Introduction Arc #TPN 002 #Escape Arc #TPN 037 #Return to Grace Field Arc #TPN 165 #TPN 170 #TPN 177 #also with Norman's stark black & white morality this is why his reaction to Isabella's betrayal is so volatile #and why I think it's a shame his relationship with her gets the least amount of focus #especially when you think of their conversation on the way to the gate #“Hey‚ Mom‚ are you happy?” / “Yes. Yes‚ I am. After all‚ I was able to meet you.”#absolutely fucking wrecks me every time #the layers. 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭 𝘢 𝘺 𝘦 𝘳 𝘴.

(danny pov): man it sure sucks that my daughter's best friend is being pressured into being quiet about the bullying. i'm sure she'd appreciate someone to talk to about it outside of apathetic teachers, if not with a family friend then her actual parents who might be as in the dark as i was before my daughter was hospitalized. she might even be willing to tell me who the bullies are so that i could help my daughter because that's apparently my only solution to help. shame the landline is all the way over there, four feet away. i'm sure the people who were there for me when i was grieving my wife's death would really appreciate knowing that their daughter might be getting bullied herself so that they could do something. but it's just so awkward to phone after not calling for a few years. best i keep waiting for my daughter to tell me herself. that's a winning strategy right there yes siree. danny ol' boy you've done it again.

#parahumans #worm #danny 'tried his best' hebert #emma barnes #we of course know that this would have gone laughably bad #but danny sure as hell didn't #father of the year by default #bc his competition is. well. *motions to a field of neglect and abuse* yknow

I'm gonna talk about why Norman like totally has a big fat crush on Ray he's in love with him actually

Bro is literally below him in terms of intelligence at the farm but Norman’s always acting like Ray is superior like wtf kinda gay ass shit is this

He was also like really overdoing it explaining just how smart and cool and logical and dependable Ray is like omfg we get it

ok so we all know he's talking about Ray here right and he's blushing at the thought of bringing Ray with them too that Ray isn't bad okkk trust me on this you need to have a little faith in me while you're reading this ok

bro is so touched like he's seriously shocked too by how much he did for them AND impressed by how smart Ray is (he's literally always impressed by Ray somehow I'm ngl)

he literally suspected that Ray's the traitor because he thinks he's perfect in every way he's like "omfggg no way Ray is COOL and SMART enough to be the traitor noooo"

whatever THIS is... "become my boyfriend now AHEM COUGH COUGH um spy become my spy now 😏"

bro is writing an essay in his mind about how AWESOME Ray is like he's properly losing his mind rn you can't tell me he doesn't wanna be like him at least a tiny bit

speaking of which Norman actually wants to be more like Emma because Ray is more silly with her he's like "grrr why doesn't Ray hit MY head when I'm being silly... I have to be more like her!!!" (trust me on this)

Bro is defending him with his LIFE

Ray's face is always covered in this nightmare and when it's not he's behind Norman he cannot bear seeing him like this

bro's been hyperfixated on this for so many chapters I couldn't even count

he's happy there's an ALLY on the outside because he's COMPHET and CLOSETED

He's actually trying to look at Ray here (proof: I said so and I'm never wrong)

he sees Ray in the room like "ah fuck he's about to come up with some self-sacrificial plan to make sure I survive fuckkkk too bad I'M gonna do that for him though haha"

I'm telling you bro would rather die than let Ray break some bones

idk but this is gay

he wanted to see Ray one last time </3 his eyes were so empty when Emma said he didn't wanna send him off

his crazy admiration strikes once again "he's amazing" SHUT the FUCK up GAYASS

he's so gay even Ray could tell at this point

let's just say bro got inspired by Ray's methods

I don't think I have to explain

Norman's reaction after Ray FAMILY-ZONED him he also broke down crying after this he was in disbelief

I'm pretty sure Norman just made him vice ceo because he just wanted him around I'm not sure if Ray actually gaf about the company or where they got the money (he was probably more focused on actively searching for Emma and now that they found her he's just vibing and eating chips)

and THAT'S why Norman is GAY for RAY and I'm too lazy to write anything more um :3

#tpn #the promised neverland #norman tpn #ray tpn #one-sided norray #sorry guys I just really love one-sided gay ships where the one that doesn't reciprocate knows because of how gay the other is #bonus if the one that likes them is comphet (which is what I headcanon Norman yk for fun >_<)#I actually don't ship any Grace Field ship (not counting one-sided or queer-platonic ones) except Gildanna hehe #the other one-sided ship I enjoy is Gildemma sorry Gilda... but it's ok you become gfs with Anna later see ily Gilda #the queer-platonic relationship I like is Emmay (Emma and Ray) they're my fav duo in tpn EVER!!! bffs and soulmates #Emmay is (queer-)platonic Rayemma I made the name exclusively for that ^_^#so if you want to refer to Rayemma with that name you'd actually have to say “romantic Emmay” hehe
