by my count eleven actresses who appeared in the women are competing in this tournament: norma shearer, joan crawford, rosalind russell, paulette goddard, joan fontaine, marjorie main, ruth hussey, theresa harris, lilian bond, betty blythe, and of course, terry

Yes!

If you'd like to watch The Women for yourself, you can currently stream it on Tubi for free. I recommend this movie in a general sense, as it's a fun time if you like watching very rich, bad white women be rich and bad—think a Kardashians or Real Housewives situation but with a bunch of 1930s dames who want to chew the scenery. But I need to add the warning that this film has a very problematic relationship with the WOC in it, including hot lady contestant Theresa Harris (who plays a maid). The only Black women depicted are servants, most of them are not in speaking roles, and the few that have lines are depicted as racist caricatures (also, one is talked about in a racist manner by a few white characters in one scene). These scenes and interactions don't take up a lot of the running time, but they're still there, and I won't fault anyone for not wanting to watch it because of that.

The stratification (in marketing at least) between "grimdark" crime fiction (inc books) and "cosy" crime fiction grates on me sometimes, because I like nothing that's at either extreme. I don't want relentless pain (and I find both organised crime and serial killer plots pretty boring unless they're really well-handled), and I don't want cheerfully callous "ooh, the bodies are piling up! how inconvenient! have another slice of Victoria sponge!".

I want humanity and compassion and humour and treating deaths like they do actually matter even when they're of awful people, thank-you-so-very-much. I want the satisfaction of a puzzle solved. I want an awareness by the author that yes the human fascination with murder mysteries (going right right back to Oedipus Tyrannus etc.) is kind of odd, while also not apologising for it. I want characters I warm to and care about, even if I sometimes want to throw things at them. I want a predictable structure to some extent, because it helps my autistic brain when I'm having a rough time (see also romances!). If at all possible I like at least some awareness that there is structural oppression in the world and that capital punishment is Not Great even if by the very nature of the genre (especially in police procedurals) I never expect murder mysteries to have the same politics or morality as me[1].

Some of the murder mysteries/crime fiction I do really love: the Cadfael books, Endeavour, the Lord Peter Wimsey books, the Ruth Galloway mysteries, the Discworld Watch books, the Ian Rutledge mysteries, and every time KJ Charles or T Kingfisher get a bit murder mystery on us. And so on and so forth. There are a good number! And a fair variety in tone in all of these they just... still all operate in that blessed middle space between grimdark and cosy, and involve Caring About People, and I just wish there were even more. <3

(Do recommend your own favourites if you wish!) [1] In real life, I am very much of the opinion that ACAB, that prison is a horror, that capital punishment is one of the greatest evils there is, and that retributive justice in general is wrong and unhelpful; those views affect which murder mysteries I like and how I read/watch/listen to them to some extent but, well, fiction is not reality. And being aware of that gap helps me to keep true to my views while still enjoying stories that go very much the other way!

hes such a loser (i love hihm)

i hc that!!! every demon has quirky horns ala homestuck. some of them have different colors though.

jodie's horns r blue probably

i think its more of a personality thing than a genetic thing, but also taylor with blue horns is funny i should do that. he thinks theyre gonna be red but they arent which is LAME!!!!! so he paints over them to look cooler

glenn's horns are red. idk about morgan honestly

nick's horns are blue but if you cut into them theyre red. idk i think that woud be cool

hermie's are purple. scam likely genes. i think his horns would be a swirly shape.

all the horns start out as little nubs!!!! they only get bigger and quirkier when demon puberty hits. your personality and self is basically more developed by then so the shape and color r like. more defined. do you get me. it’s like a cutie mark but for demons which is very funny to me. im unsruer if hermie 2 would have the same horns but i think it would be funny if they were slightly different. or the same. who knowzs.

#dndads #dungeons and daddies #taylor dndads #taylor swift dndads #taylor swift (not that one)#loserrrrr.. lsoerrr….#i love characters who just canonically have those anime Z cheeks its so funny #also the taylor in the lower left part is!!! older taylor!! i love you epilogue taylor #him and his 3 ankle monitors. my beloved #he has his hair slicked back so it doesnt mess with his apple visions camera thing #homestuck #npmd #in a theoretical npmd au i think taylor would be richie for funnies but realistically he would be popular right #taylor is steph link is pete. terri being grace and then turning into scary at the end is funny to me #richie would be normal maybe. freaking out over teeny #i should make an entire post about this. i WILL figure out who becomes who just watch me #OR. scary is steph link is pete. specficialyl because of the micro peter thing i think it would be funny lmfaosfoa #hermie would be ruth possibly?? idkw ho max would be #dndads spoilers #kind of. rip hermie </3

Agatha and the Truth of Murder (2018)

Watching Agatha and the Truth of Murder you’d never guess that 1) it debuted on TV and 2) was not endorsed by Agatha Christie’s estate. This works as a great companion piece to the author’s famous works or as a keep-you-guessing mystery on its own.

In 1926, crime writer Agatha Christie (Ruth Bradley) disappeared for 11 days. This film imagines she vanished in order to help solve a real-life murder. Mabel Rogers (Pippa HaywoodPippa Haywood) approaches Agatha. Her partner, Florence Nightingale Shore (Stacha Hicks), was bludgeoned on a train and later passed from the injuries. Under a pseudonym and false pretences, Agatha and Mabel lure the primary suspects to a remote location where they hope to prove the murderer was either Daphne Miller (Bebe Cave), whose nursing career would’ve been ruined by Florence, Randolph (Tim McInnerny), the cousin who inherited Florence’s money, Zaki Hanachi (Luke Pierre ), a soldier treated by Florence shortly before her death, Travis Pickford (Blake Harrison), the police’s prime suspect or Mrs. Pamela Rose (Samantha Spiro), the only person who knew where Florence was sitting.

Right away, the film endears you to Agatha. Her husband is having an affair and readers are calling her writing predictable. She’s a woman in a man’s world, and suffers from writer’s block. You want her to succeed, even more when you hear the details surrounding Florence’s murder. Solving the case might even be what she needs to reinvigorate her creativity. Unfortunately, she’s not a real detective; she merely writes about them. You have a feeling she’s got what it takes to crack this mystery but it’s going to be tough. As we’re reminded multiple time, this is not a “fictional case”. In a novel, you want to keep the audiences guessing by making the culprit the least likely suspect. In “real life”, the principle of Occam’s Razor usually applies, which means the murderer is most likely…

BAM! Crash! Gasp!

Just when you thought you had it figured out, Agatha and the Truth of Murder throws a wrench in the equation and piles suspense upon suspense. Now, we have to worry about Agatha’s true identity being revealed by Detective Inspector Dicks (Ralph Ineson) before the crime is solved. It’d be bad, but another incident tells us Agatha’s life may be in jeopardy too. It keeps the momentum going and gets you so wrapped up in this new business you no longer have the brainpower to figure out both what’s happening right now and the case we came here to see. Even if you do, we all know part of the fun of this kind of story is figuring out not only who, but how and why before seeing justice dispensed.

The eclectic array of characters to interrogate and cross off the list are enjoyable to see. Ruth Bradley is charismatic. You wouldn’t mind seeing her again in another similar movie as long as it’s as smart as this one. By subverting your expectations but also keeping in mind what we love about Agatha Christie’s stories, you get the best of both worlds. A little bit of Ralph Ineson goes a long way too.

While the story is set in the early 20th Century, many aspects of Agatha and the Truth of Murder are modern. The cast is enjoyable and the premise appealing, particularly if you're a fan of Agatha Christie. While the film may not blow your socks off, that’s its only flaw. (September 4, 2020)

December Reads

And I closed the year reading a further nine books, four of which I started back in January and have read month by month, since their chapters followed the changing seasons. One of the four was an almanac for 2023 so I won’t be including a review as, although I really enjoyed it, there isn’t one being produced for this year and it seems silly to link to something that is now out of date. I’ve…

German Christmas Tree My German heritage of celebrating Christmas rather dominated my family, and my husband was beginning to see it through my eyes. Until the introduction…

I do love the fact that I'm among quite a lot of fans of British police procedural shows and books (and adjacent genres) who share some or all of the following opinions:-

the police in real life are obviously appalling

so these characters, even when they're fucking up massively and behaving reprehensibly, are still generally unrealistically well-intentioned, compassionate, and competent (in some stories, some of them grapple with colleagues who are more true-to-life, and a lot of drama hangs in that)

all of which is good because otherwise I would not enjoy this genre

but it's so very important to remember that difference because otherwise we end up being far too lenient with real-life police

anyway, I love these characters and because they are decent (if flawed) human beings the job is badly traumatising them, so I would really like them outta there

retirement and/or different jobs for all please so they can thrive and be their best selves!

also hugs which in some cases they keep refusing to give each other which is very annoying

hooray for fanfic which can provide the required different careers and hugs etc.. <3

(This post is, predictably, brought to you by my deep if sometimes frustrated love for E Morse, Fred Thursday, Peter Jakes, Reginald Bright, Shirley Trewlove, Jim Strange, Jimmy Perez, Alison McIntosh, Tommy Linley, Barbara Havers, Robbie Lewis, Harry Nelson, L. Petronius Longus, Shahara Hasan, Sam Vimes, Angua von Uberwald, etc. etc. etc.. (Also Charles Parker and Carrot Ironfoundersson and Hugh Beringar although they are all improbably well-adjusted as well as improbably decent...) Between them they fuck up a lot, oh good Gods (*glowers with affectionate exasperation at Fred and Tommy and Petro especially*), but Even So.)
