highlights of December
I decided to start posting this on tumblr as opposed to Facebook like previously, so let’s see how it goes.
1. Favourite movies: Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021); West Side Story (2021); The Parent Trap (1961).
2. Decent films I liked / appreciated but not loved: If You Could Only Cook (1935) is pretty good but nothing spectacular.
3. Best scenes: the confession in Forsaking All Others (1934); scenes with all three Spider-Men / aunt May’s death / Peter and MJ saying goodbye / the café conversation / Daredevil cameo / Peter saving MJ on the bridge (Spider-Man: No Way Home, 2021); the sword fight / 'The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle' / ‘Get it? Got it. Good’ running gag in The Court Jester (1955); the final scene in The Parent Trap (1961); Gee Officer Krupke! / America in West Side Story (2021), 'I've gone fishing' (If You Could Only Cook, 1935).
4. Favourite genres: adventure, family.
5. Favourite directors: Jon Watts (Spider-Man: No Way Home, 2021); Stephen Spielberg (West Side Story, 2021).
6. Favourite actors: Tom Holland (Spider-Man: No Way Home, 2021);  Hayley Mills, Maureen O'Hara, Brian Keith (The Parent Trap, 1961); Rachel Zegler / Rita Moreno / Ariana DeBose (West Side Story, 2021).
7. Least favourite performances: literally anyone in Kiss Me Stupid (1964).
8. The most wasted cast: everything and everyone in Kiss Me Stupid (1964) is a waste. Dean Martin, Kim Novak, Ray Walston, Felicia Farr, Cliff Osmond, as well as the director Billy Wilder. Everyone is just so much better than this mess. They are unlikeable here, despicable even. I couldn’t believe what I was watching, to be honest.
9. The best wasted premise: Mad Love (1935) is not as good as I wanted it to be. Not bad exactly but not good either. The premise of Witness To Murder (1954) has also been done way better, one such variation being famously done by Hitchcock that same year.
9. The best wasted premise: Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). I do think, however, that this film is only good as a one-time thing. If they try to recapture what this film did with bringing everyone back together again (which is already being discussed because the studious nowadays are desperate), it will fail spectacularly. But for now, I like it.
11. Favourite cast: West Side Story, 2021 (Ansel Elgort, Rachel Zegler, Ariana DeBose, David Alvarez, Mike Faist, Rita Moreno, Brian d'Arcy James); Spider-Man: No Way Home, 2021 (Tom Holland, Zandaya, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jacob, Jon, Jamie Foxx, Willem Dafoe, Alfred Molina, Marisa Tomei, Andrew Garfield, Tobey Maguire).
12. Favourite on-screen duos: Clark Gable x Joan Crawford (Forsaking All Others, 1934); Herbert Marshall x Jean Arthur (If You Could Only Cook, 1935); Tom Holland x Zendaya / any combination of the three Spider-Man / Alfred Molina x Tom Holland / Willem Dafoe x Tom Holland (Spider-Man: No Way Home, 2021); Robert Montgomery x Joan Crawford / William Powell x Joan Crawford (The Last of Mrs. Cheyney, 1937); any combination of Hayley Mills, Maureen O'Hara and Brian Keith (The Parent Trap, 1961); Ansel Elgort x Rachel Zegler / Ansel Elgort x Rita Moreno (West Side Story, 2021).
>13. Favourite on-screen relationships: Jeff Williams + Mary Clay (Forsaking All Others, 1934); Peter + MJ (Spider-Man: No Way Home, 2021); Mitch Evers + Maggie McKendrick (The Parent Trap, 1961).
14. Favourite characters: Jeff Williams (Forsaking All Others, 1934); Peter(s), MJ, Dr. Octavius, Norman Osborn (Spider-Man: No Way Home, 2021); Mitch Evers, Maggie McKendrick, Susan Evers / Sharon McKendrick (The Parent Trap, 1961).
15. Favourite quote: I, poor peasant, have conquered science. Why can’t I conquer love? (Mad Love, 1935). I’m stretching, I know… There was nothing particularly memporable.
16. Favourite fact discovered in 2021: this one’s nuts, buckle up. Gary Cooper’s love life was one hell of a roller-coaster ride. His lovers included Clara Bow, Evelyn Brent, Carole Lombard, Lupe Velez, Ingrid Bergman, Grace Kelly, Marlene Dietrich and Patricia Neal.
His relationship with Lupe Vélez at the beginning of his career was particularly stormy. Apart from the whole convoluted baby mess (it was alleged she had a baby by Cooper, even though he always denied it), there was a lot more insanity to this relationship. They were together for 2 years during which time Vélez allegedly chased him around with a knife during an argument and he cut himself severely enough to require stitches. Cooper eventually ended the relationship in mid-1931, at the behest of his mother Alice who after meeting her, strongly disapproved of Vélez. The rocky relationship had taken its toll on Cooper, who had lost 45 pounds and was suffering from nervous exhaustion. Paramount Pictures ordered him to take a vacation to recuperate and while he was boarding the train, Vélez showed up at the station and fired a pistol at him. That’s not to mention his 10-year affair with Patricia Neal.
17. The most overrated film: Kiss Me Stupid (1964) doesn’t deserve any good words, it’s such a disaster.
18. The most disappointing film: Kiss Me Stupid (1964). It particularly hurts because I adore Billy Wilder and almost every actor in the cast.
19. The biggest surprise: The Parent Trap (1961) is a delight! Also, I didn’t expect o see Charlie Cox as Daredevil in Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). I know they’re gonna screw him up eventually in the MCU but for the time being I love seeing him again, his amazing! I missed you, buddy.
20. Best cinematography: West Side Story (2021).
21. Best set design: West Side Story (2021).
22. Best costume design: West Side Story (2021).
23. Best music: West Side Story (2021). It’s a landslide, it’s just so competently made, it’s incredible.
24. Best production choice: keeping the cameos a secret (Spider-Man: No Way Home, 2021).
25. Worst production choice: making The Curse of the Cat People (1944) a sequel to a classic horror film. It’s such a shame because it’s not a bad film by any stretch of the imagination. I’d even go as far as to say that it’s a good exploration of child neglect. It’s a drama, not horror. The horror elements here fall flat on its face. I just hate that this one choice buried a potentially pretty decent story with a solid central performance by Ann Carter. Robert Wise co-directed it too, so it’s a double shame. Just keep the film as it is, don’t change anything about it except change the name of the film itself as well as the names of the characters so I don’t have to think about how it ties into the first film. Because it doesn’t!
26. The film of the month: Spider-Man: Far From Home (2021).

One Dress a Day Challenge
Day 85
Color: Yellow
The Parent Trap- Hayley Mills are Sharon Mckendrick
This outfit is so cute!!  Perfect teen apparel for the early 1960′s...this yellow ensemble is worn by Sharon pretending to be Susan on the day she returns home to California.  And I like the sweater that she wears with it on the plane...it looks super comfy!
*Also, for a little side note...I like that even though Susan is the more “tomboyish” of the twins, she still likes things like clothes and makeup.  It’s a small thing, but it could have been so easy to make the twins polar opposites, with one being more feminine than the other, and forcing them to wear clothing that they hate in order to keep up the ruse*

I should save up for a commission featuring the The Parent Trap twins Sharon and Susan as Split-Face from John carpenter's The Thing..?
Anyways, as usual thinking about Hayley Mills and John Carpenter films...

"Someone in Camp Inch ain't what he appears to be."

“I'm going to hide this tape when I'm finished. If none of us make it, at least there will be some kind of record. The storm's been hitting us hard now for 48 hours. We still have nothing to go on. One other thing: I think it rips through your clothes when it takes you over. Verbena found some shredded and bloody camp uniforms in the trash but the name tag was missing. They could be anybody's. Nobody...nobody trusts anybody now, and we're all very tired. There's nothing more I can do, just wait. This is Sharon McKendrick, guitarist, Miss Inch's Summer Camp for Girls.”

"I know you girls have been through a lot, but when you find the time, I'd rather not spend the rest of this winter TIED TO THIS DARN COUCH!"
Tumblr media
SHARON: "So, what should we do now?"
SUSAN: "Why don't we just wait here for a while...see what happens."

What Happens After The Coronavirus Peaks?

Paris, France  /  Mon, March 23, 2020  /  12:12 pm

This handout illustration image obtained Feb. 3, 2020, courtesy of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and created at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), reveals ultrastructural morphology exhibited by coronaviruses. (AFP/Lizabeth Menzies / Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
Like a giant tidal wave, the COVID-19 pandemic is battering the health systems of several European countries, leaving experts scrambling to know when it will reach its peak.
What will the aftermath of this "tsunami", as Italian health workers have called it, be like? A general receding and a return to normality, or regular recurrences that will overwhelm hospitals?
Calm before the storm?
The wave seems to have already subsided in China, where the novel coronavirus first broke out late last year: over recent days no new local cases have been recorded.
But French public health specialist and epidemiologist Antoine Flahault in the Lancet medical journal wonders if the worse is not yet to come.
China could so far have "experienced a herald wave, to use terminology borrowed from those who study tsunamis, and is the big wave still to come?" he wrote.
To understand the complexity of how epidemics evolve it is necessary to go back to the post World War I period, when in three waves the Spanish Flu killed nearly 50 million people -- more than the Great War itself.
Then it disappeared.
The question of why has tormented mathematicians. In the late 1920's Scotland's William Ogilvy Kermack and Anderson Gray McKendrick developed models in a bid to understand the dynamics of epidemics.
Immunity threshold
Kermack and McKendrick discovered that an epidemic does not end because it runs out of vulnerable people, but because as the number of infections increases a so-called "herd immunity" threshold is reached.
"Herd immunity is the proportion of people immunized against the virus [either through infection or vaccination when it exists] that needs to be achieved to stop any risk of resurgence", said Flahault, head of Geneva University's Institute of Global Health.
That proportion depends on the ease with which the virus is transmitted from an infected to a healthy person.
The more contagious the disease, the higher the number of immunized people has to be to stop it in its tracks.
For COVID-19 "there would need to be between 50 and 66 percent of people infected and then rendered immune to wipe out the pandemic", he said.
The level of contagion itself is open to variation, according to the kind of preventative measures taken, such as quarantine, confinement, and also potentially weather conditions.
If an infected person infects on average less than one other person "then the epidemic comes to an end", he said.
'Resurgences'
But that will not necessarily be an end of the epidemic, which might just be taking a break, as he argues it is "currently doing in China and South Korea".
Because health measures during an epidemic are only temporary "and when you relax them the epidemic starts again until it reaches an ad-hoc herd immunity, sometimes over several months or years," he said.
The head of the infectious diseases service at the Pitie Salpetriere hospital in Paris, Professor Francois Bricaire, also warned of possible "resurgences".
"The reappearance of COVID-19 is a possibility, with eventually a seasonal resurgence" he told AFP.
Sharon Lewin, an Australian infectious diseases expert, also wonders about the possibility of a return: "Will it come back?  We don’t know."
However, she said SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), also a coronavirus, disappeared completely following strict social distancing measures, after killing 774 people in 2002 and 2003.
The development of a vaccine and its global distribution, which the pharmaceutical industry has promised to deliver within 12-18 months, would radically change the outlook.
