![]() Because of this, they will tend to assume that the movie is based directed on the historical event. any of those who have seen the movie have not read the graphic novel. While the movie owes a great deal to its source material, it must rise or fall on its own merits. But my purpose is to evaluate the movie as history, not as an adaption of a literary work. And yes, before you ask, I do know that the movie is based on Frank Miller’s graphic novel. But just because I hate this movie doesn’t mean there might not be some merit in it. I loathed the voice-over narration with a passion and kept waiting for the narrator to get killed, only to be deeply disappointed to learn that he was the only one of the 300 to survive. I thought it was badly written, badly directed, badly acted, and just generally badly done. First off, let me say that I hated this film with a passion. The film I’m going to tackle is 300 (2006, dir. ![]() Instead, since this is the first question I’m usually asked, I’m going to start this blog by picking a film and just asking, does the film get the basic facts right? Whenever I get into a discussion about a historical film with someone, perhaps one of my students, a friend, or a casual acquaintance, usually the first question I get asked is “is the film historically accurate?” I have a lot of thoughts about the issue of historically accurate films, but I’ll leave most of them for another day. ![]() In doing so, I hope to illuminate some of the concerns historians have about the way that cinema, one of the most important art forms of our society produces, treats the human past. My goal with this blog is to explore the relationship between film and history, to look at film the way a historian does and not the way a member of the general audience or a fan does. ![]()

![]() (“Ironic” was the only song whose lyrics they wrote together the rest came directly from Morissette’s diary.) After a year, she and Ballard had a demo of unpolished, one-take recordings that they’d made late at night in Ballard’s studio. She began searching for collaborators, finally settling on the producer Glen Ballard, who had worked with Michael Jackson and Wilson Phillips. She had moved there from Ontario, where as a child she became first a television star and then a pop sensation. Most of the songs on “Jagged Little Pill” began as a transcription of Morissette’s interior monologue while she was living alone in Los Angeles, spending a lot of time rollerblading on the Santa Monica pier. ![]() She wasn’t just angry at an ex-boyfriend she was slicing herself open with rage, interrupting his dinner to howl “you told me you’d hold me until you died, and you’re still alive.” Morissette’s lyrics are funny and rebellious (it’s still electrifying to mouth the words “Would she go down on you in a theater?” from “You Oughta Know”), but they came packaged in high-gloss, catchy, grand ballads. To put it another way, this one album, written by a former teenage pop star from Canada, has sold as many copies as Taylor Swift’s entire discography combined. In 1996, the record sold more than 10 million copies it has sold another 20 million since, according to Entertainment Weekly. It may be difficult to comprehend now, in the fractured world of streaming and microfandom, but “Jagged Little Pill” was once one of the biggest albums in the world. Still, taken as a whole, the album has undeniable power: It’s urgent and raw. Listening to the song 25 years later, as I did over and over one morning in May while waiting to meet Morissette at a resort an hour south of Los Angeles, was comforting, like an oversize, beloved cardigan that has grown a bit baggy in the sleeves. ![]() Morissette was showing that young people contain multitudes and that they are eager to describe - to themselves, to some distant, judgmental grown-up - their contradictory inner lives. ![]() The lyrics are more affective than logical, more moody than meticulous. Morissette wrote the song - which became the fourth track on “Jagged Little Pill,” an album so popular at its height that it sold nearly half a million copies in one week - in less than an hour when she was 20. “I’m sick but I’m pretty, babyyyy.” Being petite has no bearing on a person’s hardiness, but of course, that isn’t the point. ![]() “I’m short but I’m healthy,” she sings, in the half-yodel, half-dove-coo that people still channel in late-night karaoke bars. The Alanis Morissette song “Hand in My Pocket” is a list of opposites that aren’t really opposites at all, when you really think about it. ![]() ![]() ![]() Movie Interviews Actor Nick Kroll: 'I'm A Real Solid Uncle The First Hour' We care about these poor schmucks, so the jokes land harder, the cringes go deeper. Crucially, however, it's also a much more sincere, more sweet, more intensely empathetic series that - even as it's visiting horrors and humiliations on its characters - never fails to side with them. There, the jokes are paramount, the humiliations punchlines in and of themselves, and stimulating our cringe response is the end goal.īig Mouth is arguably a filthier show, with even cruder jokes and an obsession with sex that's more relentless. Compare to South Park, an animated series that similarly delights in humiliating its characters. The jokes are many, and filthy, and utterly cringeworthy for all the right (read: deeply earned) reasons. Season two introduces a classmate named Gina (Gina Rodriguez) and a new anthropomorphic presence whose identity is too fun to spoil, voiced with sinister relish by David Thewlis. Season one introduced us to young Nick (Nick Kroll), hapless Andrew (John Mulaney), Andrew's faithful Hormone Monster Maurice (Kroll again, though you'd be forgiven for thinking it's Diedrich Bader or Will Arnett), their savvy, sardonic friend Jessi (Jessi Klein), Jessi's Hormone Monstress Connie (the ebullient Maya Rudolph), resident nerd Missy (Jenny Slate) and repellent dirtbag Jay (Jason Mantzoukas). ![]() ![]() Television Nick Kroll And John Mulaney Relive Raging Hormones And First Kisses In 'Big Mouth' ah, areas where those two topics intersect, and more. And then adding lustily arranged, and just plain lusty, musical numbers about subjects like boobs, masturbation and the. Like, by personifying the adolescent body's hormonal urges as foul-mouthed horned (and horny) monsters, is how big. The animated series Big Mouth, the 10-episode second season of which drops on Netflix today, locates that funny, and achieves that distance, by going big. The moment puberty settles over them like a disquietingly oily morning dew, they're helpless before its attendant spurts and smells and hairs, its eruptions and inflammations they enter a state of perpetual, sebaceous misery. This is an essential human truth, but it's one that adults forget. They delight in our dismay and embarrassment. What he obviously meant to sing was "Your body is Wonderland," as in, "Your body, like mine, like everyone's, is a surreal and frequently terrifying Lewis-Carroll hellscape where everything exists in a state of constant flux, where rules of logic and intellect get trammeled by whim and caprice, and where the governing authority is casually malicious and heedlessly cruel." "Your body is a wonderland," sang John Mayer, wrongly. Giving a schvitz: Missy (Jenny Slate), Connie the Hormone Monstress (Maya Rudolph) and Jessi (Jessi Klein) barrel full steam ahead through puberty in the second season of Netlfix's Big Mouth. ![]() ![]() In some cases, everything works out fine in others, the child adapts a similar perspective as the parents, and the abusive cycle repeats. So many parents also project their ambitions and dreams onto their children saying it's for the best, never asking or caring what their children want. The cycle of punishment can create a rift between a parent and child that gradually expands and expands, eventually leading igniting hatred. The drama displays the issues that can arise through punishment especially, as opposed to positive reinforcement. This type of harsh environment is displayed in SKY Castle, and it really unveils how damaging it is to a family.Ībuse shouldn't be a tolerated, period. It wasn't uncommon for me to experience physical abuse for disobeying anything or not achieving expectations. Actually getting perfect? No compliment, only expected to upkeep the results. Got an A, but it wasn't 100%? Not good enough. When I was growing up, anything not perfect was considered failure. Some elements of the drama are definitely exaggerated, but parenting ideals are unfortunately very accurate. This drama hits extra close to home and really resonates with people who relate with any of the characters' upbringings, which is fairly common amongst Asian households with views along the conservative side of the spectrum.Īs someone that grew up in an environment frighteningly similar to some of the children in the drama, these issues are very real. Yes, the aforementioned are important, but at what cost? Certainly not at the expense of giving up all of one's happiness or opportunity for happiness. SKY Castle focuses on a person's wellbeing above all else, be it education, money, or job position. ![]() The drama tends to often be dramatized, especially as it is a satirical work, but the underlying themes are never truly lost. The drama has impeccable directing, story is full of plot twists, comedy is subtle and melds well, and the cliffhangers are absolutely wild. SKY Castle is a satirical drama that criticizes practices from corrupt business hierarchy to extreme parenting environments. ![]() If I could name a drama equivalent to The Handmaiden, it would be SKY Castle. ![]() You can skip to the end for a tl dr summary of the review if you do not wish to read everything.

Plastic-free packaging is available for products like bulk groceries and hygiene products, including soap, razors, and toothbrushes. When we replace single-use plastics in our daily routines, we greatly reduce our local and global consumption of these materials. ![]() Plastic alternatives exist on the market for everyday products ranging from straws to shopping bags and from drinking bottles to utensils. Refusing single use plastics is one of the best ways we can prevent plastics from entering our waterways and the ocean altogether.Finally, microplastics and plastic compounds have been found in tap water, beer, table salt, and fish these plastics can disrupt our hormones and have other effects on our health, some of which are known and others we are just learning about. Entanglement around the fins, faces, and flippers of marine animals also cause long term damage to animals’ bodies, which can lead to infected cuts or impede their abilities to properly move, eat, and breathe. Plastics, which are made from the byproducts of petroleum, also contribute to the effects of climate change.įor example, plastic shopping bags floating in the water column look just like jellyfish to unsuspecting turtles, who feed on these animals when they eat plastic, whether on purpose or not, their digestive systems cannot pass real food and the consequences are deadly. ![]() Marine debris and plastics entangle wildlife, are mistaken for food and ingested, or make their way up the food chain and into the seafood we eat or the water we drink. This is such a serious threat to marine life and habitats because plastic never fully decomposes, it just breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces called microplastics. In fact, nearly 80 percent of all marine debris that makes its way to the ocean is plastic. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) estimates more than 300 million tons of plastic are manufactured each year, 8 million of which end up in the ocean. To say this is a problem of global importance is an understatement. ![]() Most of the pollutants that enter the ocean come from land, rivers, and drainage pipes, though abandoned and discarded fishing gear is also a significant source of marine pollution. Marine debris – particularly plastics – is one of the greatest challenges facing our global ocean and the waterways that lead to it. Each year, billions of pounds of trash and chemical pollutants enter the ocean, changing the ocean’s chemistry, harming wildlife, and reducing the quality of beaches and other habitats that are far away from where the pollutants originate. ![]() ![]() A simple piano arrangement for “A Thousand Years” can be found at Christina Perri – A Thousand Years – Arranged for Simple Piano. ![]() Two students, one violin and one piano and both 12, requested this song at the same time.

Time kills the Doctor’s enemies while she saves her friends and what is left of the universe then she puts aside her quest for her hidden memories and mysterious past lives – or does she? Life on board the Tardis ![]() But it was, for me, a decent episode that ended what was the best, most consistent season of the Whittaker era. The lengthy melancholy coda to this episode of everybody – except Prof Jericho – getting back to their correct space and time (but all seem to have lost something) also took the wind out of chapter six’s sails. If they don’t, and the end of the divisive Timeless Child arc is “The Doctor hides a fob watch inside the Tardis and we never mention it again,” that is rather more “OK, so what was the point of all that?” If the following three specials pick up the loose threads as we head towards this Doctor’s regeneration, it may have worked as a springboard for those stories. Whether this episode is a storytelling success depends on what comes next. Having put the Doctor through a lot, the threat of Swarm (left, Sam Spruell) and Azure (Rochenda Sandall) was swiftly eliminated in the end. Before that, I thought Rochenda Sandall’s Azure was the pick of the bunch this week – she delighted in taunting the Doctor. However, the climax of the Big Bad arc was essentially that an even Bigger Bad rocked up, said they were displeased with failure, and bumped off Swarm (Sam Spruell) and Azure with very little fanfare. What didn’t work so well? They had earned victory in the end, because the Doctor had convinced the Ood stationed at Division to weaken the Flux, she herself had distracted the Ravagers and sabotaged the Sontarans’ plan, and Di (Nadia Albina) had inspired the idea of hoovering the rest of the Flux up with Passenger. It also made her vocalised exposition much more bearable when it was being delivered as a chat with herself over the Tardis console. That allowed Jodie Whittaker to drive the plot forward in every location. I hope we see them together again, too.Ĭhibnall delivered a multi-Doctor story a la The Three Doctors – even to the point of having two Doctors work together while one was stranded elsewhere – but with all three Doctors being the 13th Doctor.

![]() ![]() Grain Malt PPG Malt Lbs Total Available Gravity Points Target OG based on 75% brewhouse efficiency 1.065Įxtra Light Dry Extract 1 (Added for the last 15 minutes of the Boil) I've spent the last 2 days at work searching the forum's but couldn't find anything that gave me a clear reason as to why there would be such a variance.īelow is the grain bill, measurements, and calculations I generated on my own.If one of you experts could help me out so I can get better brewhouse efficiency allowing me to use beersmith to generate a recipe I would be very greatful! So my question is why would Beersmith give me an efficiency % so much lower than what I calculated by hand if I used the same numbers I plugged into Beersmith? I am sure it's probably something I am overlooking, but I can't quite figure it out. On my next batch, I generated a recipe in the same manner (assuming 75% Brewhouse Efficiency), but missed my target OG by about 12 points.After entering in my pre-boil gravity, pre-boil volume, batch volume and actual OG measurements, beersmiith spit out a brewhouse efficiency of 52%.When I did the calculations by hand, I calculated an Extract Efficiency of 74% and Brewhouse efficiency of 68%. The first batch I brewed, I successfuly hit the target OG beersmith estimated assuming the default brewhouse efficiency of 75%.honestly, I think I just got lucky. Recently, I have been using the trial version of Beersmith to generate my own recipes. The first few, I didn't measure my pre-boil gravity as I was using recipes from BYO and it didn't mention anything about pre-boil gravity.I would still hit the Target OG within a few points.
