I'm so sad! They were the only ice dancers I cared about 😭

Also, those people are bullshitting about Tiffany and Jonathan's talents and career, and even they know it. Like bffr, you're lying out of your ass if you don't think they were one of the best (if not the best) ice dancers in Russia (and Europe as a whole)

Favorite 2023/2024 Programs Pairs SP

Pairs event at Worlds was so fucking good even without the Russians. (You'll only see me saying this for pairs. This is the only discipline where Russians were legitimately above the rest). But this season did prove that the field can actually manage without them.

Have to say tho that most the programs aren't really good and we're desperately in need of some good Choreo which is too rare at this point (Cheng Peng save me!).

So here's list if my favourite programs from this season. Rankings are to be taken with a grain of salt.

Honorable mentions go to

Ghilardi/Ambrosini (The Ecstasy of Gold). Choreo did not left an imprint but I love the music choice the costumes and the general vibe. G/A had some great packaging this season.

Ariano Kent/Laliberté Laurent (500 miles). You just can't keep the Canadians away from Sadboi music and this baby pairs came out with the weepy ballad variant of 500 miles. It's an experience for sure.

7th - Yuna Nagaoka/Sumitada Moriguchi - Can’t Take My Eyes of You, by John Lloyd Young, choreo by Cathy Reed

Fun. Charming. Nice to watch. Nothing special but this is one of those feel good programs. The fact that YunaSumi for their first season together have better packaging than RikuRyu is nothing short of tragic.

6th - Anastasia Golubeva/Hektor Giotopoulos-Moore - Architect of the Mind, by Kerry Muzzey, choreo by Jonathan Guerreiro

Recycled from last year. I love the baby Australians so much and this routine show why. Ability to follow the relentless pace of the music. A sense of drama. Good unisson and well matched lines. I especially love the step sequence where their bodies unfurl to the swirls of the music a bit like an accordion. It scratches an itch. Love Nastya's lines and love Hektor's commitment to the performance.

5th - Minerva Fabienne Hase/Nikita Volodin - Stay, by Rihanna, choreo by Paul Bolle and Mark Pillay

Not the most original thing and Virtue/Moir did it better. But Hase/Volodin are not Tessa and Scott, nor do they need to be. It could be a bit bland and tbh if the team were only slightly less talented it would be.

But instead we have a nice, light, romantic program. It goes perfectly well with Minerva's softness. Volodin is very solid but non existent as a performer and that's ok ! They only have to move prettily to the music and it works for them.

4th - Ellie Kam/Danny O’Shea - East of Eden, choreo by Drew Meekins

What good skating skills does to a motherfucker !!!

Even with the tech shortcomings (that throw jump is not even close to ready), when I saw them live in Angers this seasons they blew everyone put of the water with this SP. Skating skills are so rare among pairs skaters and it's so good to see them being rewarded by the judges for it. The sheer ice coverage the breath the ease of their skating is wonderful to see live. And East of Eden, overused as it is, is a perfect match for their brand. The music is suitably intense. Definitely one of the highlights of the season.

3rd - Cheng Peng/Lei Wang - The Storm Driven Sea, by Christopher Tin, choreo by Lori Nichols

Definitely the best choreo of the bunch, gets bumped from first place because Peng/Wang are a new pair and it shows. We sadly did not get the performance that short program deserved. The drama the position, the intensity... Unmatched.

Deanna Stellato-Dudek/Maxime Deschamps - Oxygen, by Cirque du Soleil choreo by Julie Marcotte

I HATED the music at the start of the season. The loud breathing triggered my misophonia and the vocals were grating.

I love it ! It's unlike anything else in the current pairs' field. Cirque du Soleil doesn't get more Québécois than that. The step sequence is fun. The lift rocks.

1st - Annika Hocke/Robert Kunkel - I Love Rock and Roll, by Joan Jett, choreo by Luca Lanotte

Speaking of rock... Best short of the season hands down. Gorgeous lifts with hard and creative dismount? Check! Massive throw jump? Check! Big twist? Check! Great step sequence with loads of attitude? Check! Music that will make the audience loose it? You bet! Performance levels? Unmatched!

Of fucking course they judges hated it and they were robbed blind at worlds.

#figure skating #hocke kunkel #stellato dudek deschamps #peng wang #kam o'shea #golubeva giotopoulos moore #hase volodin #nagaoka moriguchi #i'm still not over hocke kunkel's scores tbh truly the most robbed skaters of the event

Dio Brando - O vilão mais cruel de Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure

Quem assistiu Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, certamente vai se lembrar de um sujeito muito malicioso e perverso chamado Dio Brando. Para simplificar, Dio é extremamente manipulador e psicopático, demonstrando pouco ou nenhum remorso pelas ações dele. Mas como é que Dio descendeu para o mal, a ponto de cometer tamanhas crueldades?! Por que ele deu a volta de 180 graus?

Em Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood, Dio Brando, ainda muito jovem, sofria muito nas mãos do pai dele, Dario Brando, que era muito alcóolatra e abusivo, além de ter tendências cleptômanas. Dario Brando era um homem extremamente pobre, vivendo na época da Inglaterra Vitoriana(1868), que testemunhou o acidente com a carruagem aonde se encontrava George Joestar, pai do jovem Jonathan Joestar, então começou a saquear os destroços na suposição de que não havia sobreviventes. No entanto, ele rapidamente notou com o cúmplice dele que havia um jovem recém-nascido que ainda estava vivo, e então, George Joestar erroneamente assumiu que o ladroeiro estava salvando a vida dele, então se sentiu em débito com ele. No entanto, mesmo quando George mais tarde descobriu a verdade quando o inspetor-chefe o alertou de que Dario estava preso por tentar penhorar o anel de casamento de Mary Joestar, George não apresentou queixa e pediu a Dario que se tornasse um bom homem para a família dele. Mas mesmo depois de receber dinheiro de George para abrir um hotel, devido a falta de habilidades comerciais e desonestidade, Dario rapidamente retornou à pobreza e levou a esposa dele à morte prematura. Pelos próximos doze anos, Dario descontava todas as frustrações dele no próprio filho, Dio, com quem ele gritava e espancava pelos motivos mais fúteis. Como resultado, Dio descendeu para o mal, com grandes desejos de dominação e tendências psicopáticas. Depois da morte de Dario, Dio passou a morar com os Joestars, mas se você pensa que ele teria boas relações com Jonathan Joestar, é aí que você se engana... 

Dio transformava a vida do jovem Jonathan Joestar em um verdadeiro inferno, ao ponto de dar o primeiro beijo em Erina, matar Danny, o cachorro do pobre rapaz(RECLAME PRA SOCIEDADE PROTETORA DOS ANIMAIS, CADEIA NELE!!) e a pior parte é que ele atormentava Jonathan, sem demonstrar culpa ou arrependimento...

No entanto, Jonathan não iria ser humilhado pra sempre e logo revidaria. Dio cometeu uma transgressão ainda maior: Descobriu o poder de uma máscara de pedra que concedia poderes vampirescos, então Dio Matou o pai do herdeiro Joestar. Jonathan sabia que não tinha a menor chance de derrotar Dio, então pediu ajuda a Will A. Zeppelli, um lendário mestre de uma arte marcial denominada Hamon, que pode destruir demônios vampirescos. Em uma batalha final, Jonathan e Dio morrem dentro de um navio que explodia.

Em Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, Stardust Crusaders, os poderes eram agora definidos por um certo aspecto: Stands, entidades psíquicas geradas pelo próprio usuário; Stands geralmente se apresentam como figuras pairando perto ou sobre seu usuário, possuindo habilidades além das de um humano comum, que, dependendo do Stand User, podem ser usadas para o bem ou para o mal. O Stand de um certo jovem revoltado, Jotaro Kujo, por exemplo, é um guerreiro muito forte, Star Platinum. Durante o conflito com Dio, Infelizmente, Noriaki Kakyoin, um dos personagens mais amados, foi abatido facilmente por Dio, mas antes de morrer, ele mostrou para o velho Joseph Joestar o segredo de Za Warudo, o Stand do vilão: Ele podia parar o tempo!! Joseph tentou avisar Jotaro enquanto podia, mas também foi abatido. Dio estava se divertindo muito com as provocações que ele fazia contra Jotaro, e em um certo momento, Jean Pierre Polnareff interveio em favor de Jotaro, enquanto ele se recuperava dos ferimentos que recebeu na luta que teve contra Dio. 

No entanto, o maior erro de Dio foi subestimar a capacidade intelectual de Jotaro, que mesmo sobre muita pressão física e psicológica, foi capaz de copiar a técnica de paralisar o tempo do vilão. Logo a habilidade de deter o tempo de Dio provou ser inútil contra Jotaro, que tinha um espírito de combate muito rígido, então, Dio foi destruído pela própria técnica dele, mas houve outra razão pela qual ele perdeu: Ele fez Jotaro ficar muito irritado. No fim, Jotaro conseguiu reavivar o velho Joseph Joestar, através da transfusão com o sangue pútrido da metade do cadáver do inimigo deles, Dio, cujo corpo é o que ele roubou do velho inimigo dele, Jonathan Joestar, há centenas de anos atrás. No fim, o cadáver de Dio foi jogado ao Sol pra virar poeira solar, depois de uma intensa batalha, Jotaro, Jean Pierre Polnareff(Silver Chariot) e Joseph Joestar haviam vingado as mortes dos companheiros deles, Noriaki Kakyoin(Hierophant Green), Muhammad Avdol(Magician’s Red), e o pequeno Boston Terrier, Iggy(The Fool), o único membro canino do grupo. Para simplificar, cada um deles seguiu o próprio caminho.

[anewbeginningagain]

So basically if you look at the Russian top 10 dance teams:

Sinitsina/Katsalapov - likely retiring 

Stepnova/Bukin - aiming for 2026

nepotism #2 - aiming for 2026

Khuda/Bazin - aiming for 2026 (though I personally doubt it)

Annabelle Morozov / Andrei Bagin - split

Elizaveta Shanaeva / Devid Naryzhnyy - split

Anastasia Skoptsova / Kirill Aleshin - retired

Arina Ushakova / Maxim Nekrasov - retired 

Tiffany Zahorski / Jonathan Guerreiro - likely retiring 

Shevchenko/Eremenko - retired

Even if Morozov/Naryzhnyy teaming up the field pretty much cleared, some of it is because of the (justified) Russian ban, but I’m certain the corrupt rise of nepotism #2 played a huge part in the decision for at least 5 of these teams which just might be the dumbest thing RusFed has done in a long time.

LES LECONS PERSANES - Une fable très émouvante sur la force du langage et de la mémoire, et sur tout l’univers imaginaire et sensoriel qui fonde chaque signifiant. Un terrible moment aussi sur l’horreur des camps de concentration, avec des images à la fois sobres et crues, justes et bouleversantes, comme on en voit rarement au cinéma sur cette question délicate et douloureuse.

À la guerre, qui a ici tous les aspects réalistes : le camp de transit, le temps de passage des prisonniers, les décisions des allemands face aux avancées américaines, s’oppose l’histoire de Gilles. Son récit est complètement irréaliste, mais il reste emblématique de la façon dont chaque prisonnier a du se réinventer pour survivre. 

Incroyable performance d’acteur de Nahuel Perez Biscayart qui s’est surtout fait connaitre en France par le film 120 battements par minute pour lequel il a obtenu le césar du meilleur espoir masculin. Encore une fois et comme dans Au Revoir la Haut, toute l’intensité du film pèse sur ses petites épaules et sur son regard qui tremble, tiraillé entre pulsion de vie, et l’épuisement total lié à la peur incessante qui l’envahit. En plus de cette présence tout en subtilité et fragilité, Nahuel s’impose du fait qu’il parle couramment allemand, italien, espagnol et français. 

Le personnage de Reza, ce juif qui s’invente une identité de persan, est pointu, très singulier, et sa performance est à la hauteur des enjeux. Ce qui fait la différence d’un scénario original, c’est également la construction faite autour du commandant nazi. Au début, ils s’opposent de façon frontale et radicale. Cependant, le personnage odieux évolue pour gagner en nuances. Et c’est une très belle prestation en ce sens de Lars Eldinger, qui dose parfaitement l’amertume de ce mélange sinistre et touchant. 

Certes, Herr Kapitain garde son côté violent, complètement désincarné face au massacre environnant dont il est aussi complètement responsable, mais on saisit peu à peu ce qui l’a conduit à ce poste. Son histoire est dévoilée dans une scène touchante et ambiguë. Il ne passera pas pour une victime, loin s’en faut; mais on aperçoit en lui quelque chose de toute une génération manipulée par le nazisme.

Les intrigues de cour du personnel SS semblent à la fois déplacées et hors propos du film lui-même. Et pourtant, du fait même de leur petitesse et de l’absurde que leur narration injecte dans ce récit, elles donnent le contrepoint de ce qui traversait l’esprit du soldat nazi de base. Les monstres agissaient complètement coupés de la réalité alors que les corps gazés se consumaient sous leur nez. La truite qui est au menu de la garde en uniforme bien repassé, nous fait le même effet sous la caméra qui s’est déjà posée sur les corps entassés dans une brouette de fortune, traversant le camp. 

Il y a dans ce contraste entre le détail qui tue et l’horreur massive qui indiffère les même personnages, une des clés de possibilité de la solution finale. Le scénario de survie, macabre à l’extrême, dans lequel la garde nazie pataugeait comme des porcs dans leurs propres excréments, en est une image fulgurante.

NOTE 16/20 - Un récit troublant, atypique et finement équilibré.

Le réalisme du film tient à sa réalisation classique baignée dans la lumière fantomatique des camps de la mort; cette ambiance tranche avec une fable aussi belle que peu crédible. Elle jette pourtant rétrospectivement un peu de lumière et de sensibilité sur ce monde de monstres que les nazis ont tenté d’ériger en norme. 

On en frissonne d’horreur, comme s’il s’agissait d’une menace fictive sur le futur, extrêmement exagérée pour faire sensation. Et pourtant, l’ineffable tel que ces quelques images nous le présente (et encore de façon édulcorée) a déjà eu lieu…

Raking the GPF programs - junior pairs SP edition

6 - Sophia Baram/Daniel Tioumentsev - Bla bla bla cha cha cha, choreo by Cindy Stuart

Cute but I despise the song. Solid technically but imho not my thing.

5 - Chloe Panetta/Kieran Thrasher - If I Ain’t Got You, choreo by Julie Marcotte

The technical elements are a struggle which is a shame because in that field, Chloe and Kieran are definitely the most classy, for lack of a better word. 

There’s a maturity to their skating, and certain abandon when they’re not struggling with the jumps, and throws, and the twist... Pretty much everything. Chloe was injured at the beginning of the season. And they’ve been skating what ? two seasons together, but ngl I’m not optimistic about their prospects.

4 - Haruna Murakami/Sumitada Moriguchi - Le Corsaire, choreo by Cathy Reed

Classical but nice. The jump requirement for the SP doesn’t allow them to showcase their ace which are stunninng SBS jumps, and puts their other pairs elements in the spotlight. It’s still a work-in-progress but they’re a very new pair.

Also best SBS spins of the field. So fast it’s a wonder.

3 -  Cayla Smith/Andy Deng - Summer of 42, choreo by Alena Lunin

Cayla and Andy have split just after the JGPF as Andy wanted to go to university. 

While the tech content of that pair wasn’t the highest, they had some really nice skating skills and a decent musicality. Summer of 42 is starting to get overplayed imho, but it suited them well.

2 - Anastasia Golubeva/Hector Giotopoulos-Moore - Architects of the Mind, choreo by Galina Pachin and Jonathan Guerreiro

Music is whatever but I like the choreo, it’s all about coiling and snapping, enfurling like a snake, or like an accordeon. And kudos to them because the music is extremely fast paced and they are able to maintain that drive throughout the program. A really solid team and I cannot wait to see them next years among seniors.

1 - Violetta Sierova/Ivan Khobta - Vesna, choreo by Pylyp Zalevskyi

Hands down the best choreo for a short program of the season among the pairs, juniors AND seniors.

There’s just so much to love there, starting with the costumes, with Ivan in traditional Ukrainian vyshyvanka, and while the embroidered flowers on Violetta’s dress are in the colour of the national flag.

The music choice also is outstanding. We need more ethno rock/folk, and less Western pop music in figure skating. And that song genuinely slaps. Please if you can have a look at the lyrics, they are beautiful, and in the context of the war, became even more haunting.

And finally the choreo is chock full of little details, lovely transitions, all taken from traditionnal dances, the hops, and turns and the moves.

Violetta and Ivan do need more speed, attack and projection to make that short really sing, so I hope they’re going to keep it for the next season and refine it.
