One Dress a Week Challenge

June: Grey

Henry V / Geraldine MacEwan as Alice

This gown sits right on the border between blue and grey, but I'm calling it grey. It's reasonably period-authentic in style, not too flashy but seemingly of good-quality material, as befits a lady-in-waiting. I like the flowers on her belt. And they've managed to make that headdress look not only like something someone might actually wear, but like it might not even be uncomfortable!

Just rewatched Henry V (1989) and I forgot that there's an entire scene in which Henry king of England struggles to get a girlfriend

[best-movie-ever-tournament]

Glory was described as:

Great film about the experiences of Black Union soldiers during the American Civil War. The film as a whole is really elevated by it's amazing ensemble cast and the ending makes me cry every time.

Henry V was described as follow (putting both the 1944 version and the 1989's propagandas as both are adaptations from the same play by Shakespeare)

Henry V wants to take parts of France back into the british kingdom. Makes a great speech to his soldiers. Was parallel playing on my phone in the same room as someone watching it so Idk much else about it but it was good!

Henry V is insulted by the french Dauphin and thus decides, in a completely logical and rationnal move, to declare war to him and claim french territories. Skip an hour and they're in Agincourt, ready for the best speech ever TODAY IS SAINT CRISPIAN

if you're still doing the ask meme: what are the top 5 or 6 things someone should watch/read/listen to, to understand you?

Ohhhhh.... This is gonna be a hard one.

1. Tamora Pierce's Tortall series, particularly the Song of the Lioness quartet, the Protector of the Small quartet, and the Provost's Dog trilogy. I had already been a big King Arthur, Robin Hood, and Redwall fan when I found her work, but these books really clicked in a lot of my mindset and moral code. Big old knight nerd.

2. Quantum Leap! I mean, c'mon, time traveling while trying to set right what over went wrong, being held together by a devoted friendship, and just generally trying to help people? Yep, that's my speed!

3. The Irish Rovers' album, The Unicorn, paired with a Best of The Dubliners album of some sort. My mom's side of the family is 100% Irish American and my grandma raised me a good portion of my life. This is the music I grew up on and that makes me think of her. I miss her deeply.

4. Star Wars, Back to the Future, The Princess Bride, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I can't quite explain why these are paired in my head, but they're both series that I grew up watching with my dad and formed a bit of my humor and interest in fantastical tales

5. Snoopy the Musical. Not You're A Good Man Charlie Brown, Snoopy the Musical! I had to figure out something for a theatre experience and this is one that is easiest? I dunno, it's over I experienced when I was really little. My mom was the stage manager and lighting designer and I would follow her around as a 3 year old with cables ahaha! I ended up becoming a stage manager when I was 12 and the rest is sort of history! I could tack on all the shows I've shadowed thanks to my Broadway SM uncle, Gary, or other shows I've worked if folks are interested at all.

6. Singin' in the Rain! Gene Kelly... Yeah, this and a bunch of his other movies are my favorites. Another thing my grandma introduced me to ☺️

Cheated a bit but oh well 😉

'We few, we happy few, we band of brothers'

It is one thing to disprove and even despise The Shire and its netizens. It is a whole other affair to violently bash S's skills, based on absolutely nothing else than spiteful disappointment.

We are being told by Mordor's basement polymaths the man cannot act. It is probably by an unelucidated strike of luck or by charity that he was cast by *** to embody book boyfriend JAMMF, when he has only 5 (five) known facial expressions in his quiver. He was the weakest link of Season 1 cast: I suppose the BJ/Frank Randall 2-in-1 does have a fan club, after all. His acting is wooden. He has chemistry only with C and by Her grace only, because you know, gay as a bag of popcorn. He is a semi-literate hunk, with documented spelling problems. Even more so, when we conveniently toss aside the mounting hysteria during Quarantein Ha-wa-wee disgrace (hey Pooks and all the sock account Dobermans: I hope you remember your Twitter blaze of glory moment every single morning while brushing your teeth). And (also a favorite) he doesn't read, he doesn't prepare, he is sloppy, like that.

God forbid you'd try to set this colossal unfairness straight. You are automatically signed up to the Mommies for Sam Committee and labeled accordingly. Brainless victim (of what, since he is basically useless, but let's not embarrass ourselves with logic), unapologetic limerent inamorata, romantic whale, delusional rural shipper, conspiracy theory troll. Anything goes, really and we know the tune by heart, at this point in time.

Not so long ago, I was re-watching the oath sequence of (5.01) The Fiery Cross, for which I suppose all background/context is superfluous. The only clip I could find has appalling sound, but should still immediately take you back to the Return of the Kilt (starts at 0:56):

It immediately reminded me of this:

This is the extraordinary Henry V Saint Crispin's Day speech. Pure Shakespeare and unmatchable Olivier. It is also a well-documented kamikaze moment of the Battle of Agincourt (1415), when a heavily outnumbered English army defeated in an almost miraculous turn of events the French. Granted, the real speech must have been way more concise, but nevertheless a potent affair, with Henry's cunning use of rumors having it that the French would cut two fingers off each captured archer's right hand, to virtually neutralize them. And his army was, essentially, an army of longbows.

Whatever it was, it worked. It worked so well, that it even gave Winston Churchill the idea of asking Laurence Olivier to broadcast this speech for the BBC some time around 1942 and then make a movie of the whole play, in 1944. Again, context is important -it always is, by the way - and it sheds the right light on Olivier's performance. More than acting, it is damn effective war propaganda, a wonderful patriotic act and completely representative for the "we shall fight them on the beaches and we shall never surrender" spirit. It is also all about acting as summoning of energy: Olivier manages to channel Henry V, he is Henry V and this immediately gives an irresistible depth and truth to his performance.

For contrast, one could compare his version with Branagh's 1989 interpretation (https://youtu.be/y1BhnepZnoo), which I am not adding here for the sake of levity. The main difference is, for me at least, palpable: Olivier completely suppressed his ego, which I am afraid is something impossible to achieve for Branagh. His take on the speech aims to be more modern and natural, and yet it is still all about Branagh promoting his art. And we know it immediately. A fairly honest tableau vivant, but no depth and nowhere near as majestic as the other.

I am not saying here that S is on par with Laurence Olivier. That would really mean being a romantic whale and I am the one you start to get, I hope, acquainted with. What I am saying is that this guy you just love to humiliate and endlessly cackle about every single day God makes, really, deliberately knows what he is doing in there. I would bet handsome money on S carefully watching and re-watching Olivier's Saint Crispin's Day monologue, in order to prepare for that particular scene. The similarities are, to me, evident, as is the consistent hard work and - dare I say it?- massive talent. It's all about owning the scene and being in the moment. And it is arresting, at times.

All of this is not exactly some shipper far-fetched speculation. S wrote, after all, in Waypoints (and the reference is way too spot on to believe in a kind gesture of the ghostwriter) that he "devoured"

I see great things. I see a very gifted guy who has no ego (C was spot on and for an actor, that is a blessing) and also probably no idea of his (considerable) acting range. I also see a guy who, spare for OL, has been grossly, unfairly miscast and overlooked. And who was determined to take whatever was available or easy on the schedule, in order to remain relevant. I may not be a good client for his booze, but I would pay handsomely to see him in something along the lines of For Whom The Bell Tolls. Or even (if you want a more exotic but oh, so rewarding alternative) a still inexplicably missing Western adaptation of Bulgakov's Master and Margarita (probably not the best times for that one, but still: Bulgakov was, after all, born in Kyiv and not really a fan, to say the least, of tyrants). That's exactly how damn good he is.

How was it, Kidneystone BIF? Oh. "No boundaries. No respect. No class." Exactly, madam. You said it yourself.

The December Comfort Watches, Day Seven: Much Ado About Nothing

It’s the early 90s and you are Kenneth Branagh, and life, it has to be said, is pretty sweet. You are acknowledged as the foremost Shakespearean wunderkind of your generation, thanks to your 1989 version of Henry V that nabbed you Best Actor and Best Director Oscar nods before you were the age of 30. Your toe-dip into Hollywood, 1991’s murder mystery Dead Again, was a minor hit that showed you…
