All the great actors, right from Richard Burbage, who was the first man to play with Shakespeare's parts, right through to Olivier, Marlon Brando, whoever you take as the latest exponent of great acting (I'm mainly talking about the theater) have been praised for their reality. "They are so truthful." Now I don't know how you imagine Richard Burbage acted in those great, big, open-air theaters with no scenery but you could imagine this sort of thing [gesticulates widly.] And yet when Burbage died, someone said, "Burbage's dead? That cannot be, I've seen him die as King Lear, Othello, Hamlet, how could he die?" He had been to that audience so real. But we know from pictures of the old actors and from films of the 19th century actors that their notion of reality was quite other from ours. It reflected the age in which they lived. Henry Irving, 19th century actor, his notion of reality; "The Bells! The Bells! The Bells!" You can repeat something three times because the British Empire will never set and there's nothing wrong with the world and the certainties of the bells. Today it's all twitches and body language. Fashions of reality change. And the reality today is all governed by this thing, the camera, it can get in very close and it can guess what is behind. Everything is ambiguos, everything has to be guessed at, everything is subtle. And even then we may not reach the truth.

[gogandmagog]

thus further confirming my opinion of you as the person with the Most Correct TM Montgomery opinions, I saw your ff.net bio that the superior AoGG tv show is the PBS one and that you have everlasting beef with Kevin Sullivan---SAME. When he nails it, he really nails it (I think all of his stories have more charm than any of the new shows) but also some of the choices he made...sir....I simultaneously want to shake that man's hand and also make him answer for his crimes. On that note, if you could have a faithful adaptation of any of other Anne books like the PBS show, which would you choose? (we don't talk about the continuing story in this household)

Are you me????

KEVIN SULLIVAN is basically a full-on level-nine cuss word in this household. And I’m pretty sure it’s a cuss in Megan Follows’ household too. If Kevin Sullivan has a million haters, I’m one of them. If he has 1,000 haters, I’m still one of them. If he has 1 hater, it’s me. If he has 0 haters, it’s because I’m dead. ‘An iron has entered my heart.’ You surely never asked, but you have to let me tell you... when I say it’s on sight with this man!

Certainly, the first mini-series he did was a film masterpiece! Casting was on point (I used to google ‘Jonathan Crombie wife’ when I was eight, and get this rush of relief when it said he was unmarried and just be all like YES HE’S STILL SINGLE, and be all YEAH BUDDY I know why too, it’s so obviously because he hasn’t met me yet! Haaaa, fast forward to growing up, and catching on to all the musical theatre and then being like oooooh), the scenery was so lush and gorgeous, and there was hardly a single line that strayed from the books. 10/10, chef’s kiss, all the heart eye emojis imaginable.

The Sequel? Like... okay, we’re sliding downward, because we’re missing out on some wonderful, imaginative, sometimes hilarious Montgomery characters. Ginger the Parrot, Mr. Harrison overall, the AVIS, Paul Irving and Miss Lavendar. Charlotta the Fourth. We miss out on Phil Gordon, and Stella, and Pris! And maybe worse, now Gilbert is given actual Theodore Laurence lines. Literally word for word from the original Little Women film (Sullivan didn’t even try to change it), same proposal, and I could almost stomach it if I hadn’t been a book reader, knowing that the real, shining, sweet Gilbert only met with rejection with grace and kindness, instead of a cold “I hope he breaks your heart.” Those suit Laurie just fine, because Little Women readers know that Laurie is a spoilt trust-fund baby with some super not-cute anger issues (issues totally downplayed in every production, to make him more likeable). And the cherry on TOP, man, was this absent-father (tbh, it’s giving weird 19th century sugar daddy), one old enough to be Anne’s own father, being cast as a Roy Gardner replacement. But in the end, we get some beauty, too. I loved seeing John Blythe and Marilla’s interactions, I loved how Rollings Reliable was done, and even the matter of Dolly the jersey-cow, even I loved that Anne went to Gilbert in the height of his illness. So I could forgive much, on account of that! 8 out of 10.

UNTIL two things happened

First, of course, is the Continuing Story. I have never been so affronted by a movie in my liiiiife, lol. Total L. It quite sincerely achieved something that I did not think was possible in that it made me not like Anne. Utter character assassination. (I realize that by this point, LMM’s family was disinterested in working with Sullivan after the mess he made of the Sequel. Which was fair, for them. I get that, and support that for them.) Jack was a goofy, philandering dudebro, and his whole ‘international spy’ arch was so contrived and cheesy. It fell so flat. And the sheer notion that Sullivan sat there and thought, “Yeah, Anne could fall for this guy” is laughable, betraying instantly that he doesn’t understand her as a character. BUT OH WAIT, we can’t forget that Anne, whose kind doctor husband is out there risking his life while saving the lives of others in the middle of a world war... ACTUALLY engages in an emotional affair with this man. She slapped him when he published their book without her name. But what does Jack get, when he says, “Your husband is probably, most likely dead... but on the flip side, now WE can be together”? NOTHING. Anne hugs him. Pfft. PFFFFT. BE SO FASTIDIOUSLY FOR REAL. I get so mad when I think about it, lol. The whole movie just screams “male gaze” to me, because Kevin Sullivan is so incapable of seeing and realizing or transmuting the Montgomery magic. Best part of the whole thing was when Jack was shot. I felt nothing. I give this whole production .5 stars, because we did get a couple cute deleted scenes, lol.

The second thing that happened that took back all my Sullivan forgiveness was watching lengthy and/or recent (within the last five years) Megan Follows interviews. I learned so much! She doesn’t speak to Sullivan anymore, but she mentions the Continuing Story often enough, and that she had to fight Sullivan, because he wanted Anne to kiss Jack. THANK GOD she was successful. Megan’s also noted for saying that the reason the first series was such a success was because Sullivan had ‘help’ and basically nothing to do with the script. (Bonus reason to despise this man, in case we needed more: Megan mentioned that they filmed three separate endings to the first series, because Sullivan wanted Anne to hit Gilbert for giving up the Avonlea school for her. I… I can’t.) When Sullivan was approached about making a sequel, he said he read all the remaining books and thought, keep in mind this is REAL quote, “Gee, no thanks!” He goes further and says that the thought basically they were dull, and that he wanted to do his own version. Could you be more short sighted??? Again, to me, this just proves that this man places no value on quiet, lovely, non-noisy (if that makes sense) stories that are centered in the home, and around women. I think it’s that same interview where we learn also that Kevin based Morgan Harris on his own father, who was something like apparently 25 to 30 years senior to Sullivan’s mother. And that? Was the sound of my last Sullivan-tolerant--nerve breaking into a million pieces, lol. HOW DARE YOUUUU, Sir.

I AM SO SORRY THIS IS LONG. 😭

All this to say, lol, that Kevin Sullivan does not deserve your hand shake! You are too wonderful, and thoughtful, and so insightful, and that man doesn’t get up to your ankle! He deserves no less than a life sentence in literary jail.

BUT BUT BUT, to answer the question… I struggle. I would be happy with any, to be fully honest. But if I got to pick, and they said “you can only have one” I’d be flipping a three-sided coin between Anne of the Island, House of Dreams, and Rilla. 🥺 We could skip Windy Poplars easily (sorry Rebecca Dew, and Katherine-with-a-K), even though if I won the lottery, I’d personally pay for start-to-finish-by-the-book production. HOW ABOUT YOU?

#curious about your ‘Anne with an E’ thoughts #I suspect they might be similar to mine #SORRY that was so much to read #Kevin Sullivan non-fan club #roy gardner > morgan harris #when did gardner become gardiner anyway #I’ve seen it canonly both ways #probably going to dream about walter tonight #that cherub #fave Blythe baby tbh #RANK THE BLYTHE KIDS #lol

Kirk Douglas and Anthony Quinn in Lust for Life (Vincente Minnelli, 1956) Cast: Kirk Douglas, Anthony Quinn, James Donald, Pamela Brown, Everett Sloane, Niall McGinnis, Noel Purcell, Henry Daniell, Madge Kennedy, Jill Bennett, Lionel Jeffries, Laurence Naismith, Jeanette Sterke. Screenplay: Norman Corwin, based on a novel by Irving Stone. Cinematography: Russell Harlan, Freddie Young. Art direction: E. Preston Ames, Cedric Gibbons, Hans Peters. Film editing: Adrienne Fazan. Music: Miklós Rózsa. After watching Julian Schnabel's take on Vincent Van Gogh in At Eternity's Gate (2018), I thought it made sense to go back and see Hollywood's portrait of the artist, Vincente Minnelli's Lust for Life. Schnabel is himself an artist, of course, so it's not surprising to find his film focused on the aesthetics of madness (along with propounding a theory that Van Gogh didn't commit suicide but was the victim of an accidental gunshot). Minnelli and screenwriter Norman Corwin are less successful in finding a coherent image of Van Gogh than Schnabel and his co-screenwriters Jean-Claude Carrière and Louise Kugelberg were, partly because the latter were working with one of the most insightful actors of our time, Willem Dafoe, while Minnelli's Van Gogh is played by Kirk Douglas, who brings to the role a physical resemblance to the artist but is never quite strong enough to craft an integrated characterization. Lust for Life seems to suggest that Van Gogh's problems stemmed from a lack of reciprocated love -- from his father, the church he tries to serve, the several women in his life, the art-buying public, the citizens of Arles, and his fellow artists -- most notably Paul Gauguin, played (perhaps overplayed) by Anthony Quinn in an Oscar-winning performance. The film is visually stunning, although the transformation of the landscapes that Van Gogh sees into what he painted is handled more subtly and intelligently in Schnabel's film. Minnelli seems content merely to juxtapose place with painting. The sensational events in Van Gogh's life, especially the amputation of an ear, are treated sensationally in Minnelli's film, which only suggests that Van Gogh did it out of frustration with Gauguin, as if pleading for that artist's attention. We also get a sentimental deathbed scene, a kind of reconciliation with Vincent's brother, Theo (James Donald). Lust for Life is a watchable but flawed and inconsistent film -- even the name of the artist gets a variety of pronunciations, from "Van Gokh" to "Van Gog" to "Van Goh."

[dankmetal]

didn't mean to turn this into a whole essay lol. brief abuse ment jic /

internally debated like five times already if i want to make john a young woman or not (visibly) with my main concern being the gender difference between john & irving and how audiences could react to it, specifically seeing it framed as "oh he abuses her because he's a cis man in a patriarchal society" when physical attraction in both versions isn't even a conscious factor for the character, rather it's way more the want of a personal power high. this should be obvious hopefully but you never know.

i've had early readers suggest irving as a female character as well, which could also be interesting if john remained a masculine figure in the story. however, i'm not at all opposed to making them both female, which would be very powerful in selling the story's themes on 1970s ableism, especially ableism against women. AND depiction of violence perpetrated by women. AND violence between women.

but still not sure if i want to change john (and/or irving) as men considering their gender is an important detail (at least, it's more prominent for irving); as in, being more easily defended from accountability BY being a cis male. gender is also important for laurence, another male character in the project; i feel a bit unsure if i were to make him the only male character because i absolutely love writing Different Types of men to compare & contrast.

laurence also takes a huge bite out of irving's public presentation in looking up to him unbeknownst his professor's toxic behaviors (styling his hair similarly, adjusting his language & articulation). sexuality for laurence in relationship to irving('s persona) makes it all the more difficult to combat the disillusionment once it shows up, with laurence turning john into both a threat (against his denied/ closeted q.ueer sexuality) & competition ("why do you get to be so close when you don't even like him").

this all would work much differently if irving was a woman. unless i change to an all-female cast (oh ho ho!), i intend to keep laurence my token Not-Straight Cis Man guy of the project.

yknow it's funny i actually once thought of an AU where laurence was a butch woman [gets shot]

i do worry the overdone "female rage" trope would be applied to any of my characters as women. and by overdone i mean taken out of context when literally any horror girl appears covered in blood. "female rage" in a male character is immediately going to be read as "(cis) male rage", which audiences will see & read differently. technically laurence has his "male rage" moments so i don't entirely see a need to focus on one specific character. and ellen Cannot be the only firm female character displaying "female rage", not for my sake & not for my readers (especially if Some readers are gonna be racist abt her being Black & mentally ill).

this post is super all over the place already so i'll start at the beginning & add that i'm frustrated ellen is the only female character in a mostly male cast. i don't think i would mind sacrificing laurence's maleness & making an all-female cast; i just don't have a lot of projects right now featuring mlm characters & their sexuality being a factor of analysis. but i have time to figure things out, i'm sure. rewrite & repeat.

i will say john's christlike imagery & metaphor is actually even more exciting to me if he were to be a young woman, metaphorically "pregnant" with/hosting a bundle of parasites. she is jesus & mary & joseph all at once through allegory & dissociative disorders 😚✌️

Unser Erinnerungsfilm für den in außerordentlich hohem Alter verstorbenen Kirk Douglas. Wir waren immer etwas ungerecht zu ihm, er war wirklich in einer Handvoll sehr interessanter Filme, und sieht genau so aus, wie wir uns Vincent van Gogh (in Lust for Life) vorstellen. Wir schauen aber zur gegebenen Zeit noch Spartacus unter Designaspekten.

Laurence Olivier and Ann Harding in Westward Passage (Robert Milton, 1932) Cast: Ann Harding, Laurence Olivier, Irving Pichel, Zasu Pitts, Juliette Compton, Irene Purcell, Emmett King, Florence Roberts, Ethel Griffies, Don Alvarado, Bonita Granville, Florence Lake, Edgar Kennedy, Herman Bing. Screenplay: Margaret Ayer Barnes, Bradley King, Humphrey Pearson. Cinematography: Lucien N. Andriot. Art direction: Carroll Clark. Film editing: Charles Craft. Music: Bernhard Kaun. Laurence Olivier made an early try at American movie stardom with this creaky marital drama, and its failure sent him back to England and success on the stage. He plays an egotistical would-be writer, Nick Allen, who makes things hard for his wife, Olivia (Ann Harding), and their small daughter. After trying to make a go of it, they divorce and she re-marries. Both find success, she in marriage and he in writing, but when they meet again on a ship bound for America from Europe, he tries to rekindle their relationship. It's a fairly flimsy movie, and Olivier looks alarmingly skinny and lupine.
