Jack Griffo and Kira Kosarin +more of the cast at the movie premiere of "The Thundermans Return" in California yesterday!
I wanna talk about the outfits, because Kira and Jack both look so elegant and are clearly matching with the blue theme and then there's Diego X'D. I just imagine Phoebe and Max clearly coordinating their outfits (+never admitting it) and shining at every event in Metroburg, while everyone else just goes in whatever they feel is fitting. Also this video loaded for ages. Still worth it.

Héctor’s Journal
I’m almost done with high school and all people are talking about is the escalating conflict in Europe. I try not to write about it in my journal as it hasn’t yet affected us, but I am worried for Akira, who got accepted to Oxford in England, though he’s a smart guy and I’m sure he’ll keep his wits about him.
CJ told me, “It’d be awful to deal with a war on top of the Depression and the Dust Bowl.” (That’s the name for the droughts and storms in Oklahoma that made CJ’s family drop everything and leave for California back in ‘34.) We sat out in his yard with two cigarettes he’d stolen from his Pa. I hugged him and told him he was brave for going through all he’d endured, and I was glad he’s my friend. We’re just two scrappy kids from the desert but our future felt as though we could be more.
Of course Mama tries not to worry. She is worried on behalf of my Papa and the dangers he faces with his job as a boss every day, dodging the law and everything. She often invites over her partner Helen, and Papa’s partner Brent, and everyone tries to talk about my own future and remain hopeful. But I have a feeling that something great lies just ahead of me, once I’m grown...

Edge of the Knife: A Haida Horror Masterpiece
Here is another reprint of an old review from HorrOrigin.com. This remains one of my favorite pieces I have written.
With the arrival of Robert Eggers in horror cinema last decade, we have seen a renewed interest in folk horror. Tales of localized terror that reveal, in some part, a larger tapestry of the culture they exist within. Eggers’ own The Witch (2015), Na Hong-jin’s The Wailing (2016), and Jeff Nichols’ Take Shelter (2011) all arguably fall into this moodier, more atmospheric kind of horror. Then in…

Gustav Klimt Portrait Found After Vanishing Nearly 100 Years Ago
It is one of the last works the artist painted before his death in 1918.
One of the last paintings by the renowned Austrian artist Gustav Klimt has miraculously been found after vanishing nearly 100 years ago.
The painting, titled Portrait of Fräulein Lieser, was found in Vienna after last being seen by the public in 1925. Until now, the only known photograph of the painting had been held in the archives of the Austrian National Library. The picture was likely taken in 1925 in connection with the Klimt exhibition by Otto Kallir-Nirenstein in the Neue Galerie, Vienna.
Since then, its location had been a mystery.
"The rediscovery of this portrait, one of the most beautiful of Klimt's last creative period, is a sensation," said the im Kinsky auction house in a statement announcing the discovery. "As a key figure of Viennese Art Nouveau, Gustav Klimt epitomizes fin de siècle Austrian Modernism more than any other artist. His work, particularly his portraits of successful women from the upper middle class at the turn of the century, enjoy the highest recognition worldwide."
The work of art will go up for auction at the im Kinsky auction house in Vienna on April 24 and is expected to fetch millions on the market.
Tumblr media
"Klimt's paintings rank in the top echelons of the international art market. His portraits of women are seldom offered at auctions. A painting of such rarity, artistic significance, and value has not been available on the art market in Central Europe for decades," im Kinsky auction house said. "This also applies to Austria, where no work of art of even approximate importance has been available."
The painting will now travel worldwide on short exhibitions until it is auctioned and is set to be presented at various locations internationally, including stops in Switzerland, Germany, Great Britain and Hong Kong.
The model for the painting is labeled as Fräulein Lieser, also known as Margarethe Constance Lieser (1899-1965), daughter of the Austrian industrial magnate Adolf Lieser. But new research by the im Kinsky auction house into the history and provenance of the masterpiece has opened up the possibility that Klimt's model could have been another member of the Lieser family -- either Helene Lieser (1898-1962), the first-born of Henriette Amalie Lieser-Landau and Justus Lieser, or their younger daughter, Annie Lieser (1901-1972), according to officials.
Tumblr media
"In April and May 1917, the sitter visited Klimt's studio in Hietzing nine times to pose for him," im Kinsky said. "Klimt probably began the painting in May 1917. The painter chose a three-quarter portrait for his depiction and shows the young woman in a strictly frontal pose, close to the foreground, against a red, undefined background. A cape richly decorated with flowers is draped around her shoulders."
The portrait is thought to be one of Klimt's last paintings and was done shortly before he died of a stroke on Feb. 6, 1918. The painting was left, with several small portions of it unfinished, in his studio and it is thought that the painting was given to the family who had commissioned it after his death.
The painting, however, would soon vanish and the exact fate of the painting after 1925 is unclear.
"What is known is that it was acquired by a legal predecessor of the consignor in the 1960s and went to the current owner through three successive inheritances," im Kinsky auction house said.

The Call the Midwife Christmas special has become a staple of the seasonal TV schedule – and it looks like this year's episode is going to be another exciting but emotional one for fans of the beloved BBC One drama.
Stephen McGann has already teased that "dangerous snow" will lead to "high drama" in the special, and now Sister Julienne star Jenny Agutter has revealed that the episode will also explore some fears held by Judy Parfitt's popular character Sister Monica Joan.
"One should recognise there are a lot of people in the population who are older and just feel that they’re never going to make it through [the winter]," she explained of the episode.
"And this to an extreme extent [means she] feels she's not going to make it through, so it's a matter of everybody pulling together and getting around that."
McGann added that these fears lead to a "rather lovely community spirit" developing – something which he believes is especially important to portray during the festive period.
"It is hard in winter," he said. "My mum is elderly now - 88, 89 - and we were talking about Christmas. And she’s up in Liverpool and she can't get around so much anymore.
"And at that age, you can be up and down. You can look at your life. And it's one of those times of the year when, although she has a wonderful community there and one of my brothers lives up there, it's still one of those times where she reflects and it's hard."
He added: "It's a difficult time of year. And so when we have a character like brilliant Judy Parfitt, you have the unique opportunity to express Christmas also through elders and through reflections of [how] life has been for people.
"And all these ordinary families who will be watching at Christmas look at a community that in some way resembles their own hopes and fears."
Fans were given an emotional first look at the special when the BBC released a preview clip at the end of November, which showed Sister Julienne comforting a tearful Shelagh Turner (Laura Main).
In the clip, Shelagh reveals she has received a package from Hong Kong from her adopted daughter Mae's biological mother and hasn't even told her husband, Dr Patrick Turner (Stephen McGann), about it – with the ever reliable Julienne then providing her with some wise advice.
The official synopsis for the episode reads: "Call the Midwife’s Christmas Special begins two weeks before Christmas, with Apollo 8 poised to circle the moon.
"Sister Monica Joan (Judy Parfitt) is convinced this could be her last yuletide, and decides she’ll not live to see man walk on the moon.
"The Nonnatus Family, including Trixie (Helen George)’s brother Geoffrey (Christopher Harper), decide something must be done to try and lighten her state of mind.
"Nancy (Megan Cusack) has recommitted to staying at Nonnatus House and Sister Julienne (Jenny Agutter) has offered her and Colette (Francesca Fullilove) a room for the foreseeable future.
"Trixie and Matthew (Olly Rix), fresh from their honeymoon, are preparing for their first Christmas together as husband and wife when Geoffrey pays them an unexpected visit days before Christmas."
It continues: "Cyril (Zephryn Taitte) gently intervenes when he discovers a lost soul living alone in a dilapidated basement flat. For this man, Christmas is a reminder of all he’s lost and all he’s never had.
"Nurse Crane (Linda Bassett), away on her refresher course, makes it home in time for Christmas festivities despite a treacherously heavy snowfall."

Happy Birthday, #Helen (21/11).
Helen's foray into Bollywood began with a little help from a family friend, actress Cuckoo. Starting with group dance roles in movies like "Shabistan" (1951) and "Awaara" (1951), Helen quickly became a regular in the industry. Her talent shone through, earning her solo dance spots in films such as "Alif Laila" (1954) and "Hoor-e-Arab" (1955). Notably, she also appeared as a street singer in "Mayurpankh" (1954).
A significant breakthrough came in 1958 when Helen was just 19. Her performance in the song "Mera Naam Chin Chin Chu" from the film "Howrah Bridge" captured hearts. Sung by Geeta Dutt, this song marked the start of a series of successful projects for Helen. The 1960s and 1970s saw her rise to fame, with Geeta Dutt lending her voice for many of Helen's performances. During this period, Helen often portrayed characters who would perform a song or dance and then exit the plot, paving the way for the film's lead actress.
By 1969, Helen had become a household name, even gracing the cover of Filmfare Magazine. Another prominent singer, Asha Bhosle, frequently provided playback for Helen's performances, especially during the 1960s and early 1970s. Helen's versatility wasn't just limited to dance; she was nominated for the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1965 for her role in "Gumnaam". Her dramatic roles in "China Town" and "Sachaai" (1969), alongside Shammi Kapoor, were box office hits. She also portrayed a compelling character in "Chhote Sarkar" (1974), co-starring Shammi Kapoor and Sadhana. Helen's hit dance numbers included 'Suku Suku' in "Junglee", 'Yamma Yamma' in "China Town", and several others.
Helen's fame wasn't confined to the Indian cinema; she performed on stages in London, Paris, and Hong Kong. In 1973, "Helen, Queen of the Nautch Girls", a 30-minute documentary by Merchant Ivory Films, highlighted her life and career. This was followed by Jerry Pinto's book "The Life and Times of an H-Bomb" in 2006, which won a National Film Award. Writer Salim Khan played a key role in Helen's career, casting her in several films he co-scripted. Her performance in "Lahu Ke Do Rang" (1979) earned her the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress. In recognition of her contributions, Helen received the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award in 1999.
Though she officially retired in 1983, Helen made occasional appearances in films like "Khamoshi: The Musical" (1996) and "Mohabbatein" (2000). She also appeared alongside her real-life step-son #SalmanKhan in "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam" and in "Humko Deewana Kar Gaye" (2006). Her contributions were further acknowledged when she was selected for the Padma Shri in 2009, alongside Aishwarya Rai and Akshay Kumar. Helen also served as a judge in the semifinals and finals of India's 2009 "Dancing Queen" television series.

The Department of Education (DepEd) emphasized the importance of socio-emotional support for learners in the first episode of "Research O'Clock 2023." Assistant Secretary Dexter Galban outlined initiatives like the Career Guidance Program and National Drug Education Program to increase learners' resilience and address mental health needs. The first episode featured Helen Maasin discussing Project Digi-SEL or Digital Media as a Tool for Social Emotional Learning Opportunities, targeting least mastered skills in Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao(EsP). Ronnel King, an associate professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, also support the socio-emotional learning (SEL) programs and includes having explicit SEL instruction, SEL integrated with academic instruction, youth engagement, supportive school, classroom climates, and focus on adult SEL. DepEd plans to revive the After School Sports Program, expand initiatives like Barkada Kontra Droga Plus, and strengthen new and existing partnerships, and the Mental Health Program for the holistic development of the learners. Galban highlighted these efforts alongside learning recovery activities.
As a student who has actively participated in these programs, I can attest to the profound impact they have had on my academic journey and personal mental wellbeing. During a recent Career Guidance Program and National Drug Education Program, we delved into self-discovery exercises that not only guided me towards potential career paths but it also elevated my self-awareness to heights comparable to Mt. Everest. After reflecting on these significant steps outlined by Assistant Secretary Dexter Galban in the episode "Research O'Clock 2023", I remembered the profound words of Victor Hugo: "He who opens the door of the school, closes the prison." The Department of Education's emphasis on socio-emotional support through initiatives such as the Career Guidance Program and the National Drug Education Program reflects the urgent need to safeguard students' resilience in order to improve their academic performance and have a balanced lifestyle. Being a student today is undeniably stressful, given the number of tasks that demand our attention and timely completion. This program becomes important as many students face the challenges of adjusting to the new normal. For some, the pressure feels as terrifying as navigating a nightmare with Freddy Krueger - an anxiety-inducing experience that emphasizes the urgency of having effective support mechanisms in place
