The Canada native’s name resurfaced again when Perry discussed Chris Farley’s December 1997 death, adding, “I punched a hole through Jennifer Aniston’s dressing room wall when I found out. Why is it that the original thinkers like River Phoenix and Heath Ledger die, but Keanu Reeves still walks among us?” he wrote while addressing the death of their mutual friend.

5/22/2023 0 Comments Gettysburg by Stephen W. SearsLee’s decision to bring his troops into northern territory (with the idea, Sears writes, of drawing the Union army away from Richmond) and that led Lee to disregard James Longstreet’s warning that the topography favored the Yankee enemy. He takes time getting to the first shot at Seminary Ridge, recapping the events that led to Robert E. “If this was military history,” he wrote, “I wanted no part of it.” Had he had this as a text, Ike might have enjoyed the exercise a little more, for though Sears gives that information in lashings, he does so with a storyteller’s skill and a strategist’s appreciation for the changing tides of battle. An accomplished historian of the Civil War ( Controversies and Commanders, 1999, etc.) offers a blow-by-blow account of the three-day Battle of Gettysburg and its effects on the course of the conflict.ĭwight Eisenhower once recalled that at West Point he and his classmates were made to memorize the order of battle at Gettysburg hour by hour and quizzed on which unit faced which at any given moment in the combat. The language is very expressive, and the narrative is deliciously creepy the sleeping retinue move around like zombies, the thorny bushes grow around the skeletons of unsuccessful rescuers, menace and decay is everywhere. The narrative touches on themes of gender, power, beauty, ageing and death. This is no Disney-style fantasy for the very young, but instead akin to some of the original, more gruesome tales in the genre, but there is much to engage and thrill the older child. Gaiman encourages you to believe that, just like the Snow White, herself once condemned to a year’s unconsciousness, she would be the ideal person to save the day - but not everything is as it appears. Her upcoming wedding, with some relief, is put on hold. When three dwarves inform her of a cursed kingdom where a princess and her people have lied asleep for decades, the queen decides to take up the challenge to save them, even though many have failed before her. An extremely dark and gothic fairy tale, it features the stories of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, but given a very modern and feminist twist.Ī queen prepares unenthusiastically for marriage and a future that is mapped out for her. When prize-winning author Neil Gaiman collaborates with the equally award-laden former children’s laureate and illustrator Chris Riddell, you can guarantee the result will be something unique and special, and this book is no exception. 5/22/2023 0 Comments 12 more rules of lifeLynch said: “The RDG have reneged on their original proposals and torpedoed these negotiations. The RMT strike will take place on 13 May, when the Eurovision final will be held in Liverpool, and follows the first Aslef strike on 12 May.įurther drivers’ strikes will be held on 31 May, and 3 June, the day of the FA Cup final when many fans will be travelling from north-west England to London to see two Manchester teams play at Wembley. The RMT’s leader, Mick Lynch, said negotiators at the train operators had been pressured by government to renege on a 9% offer the union had been considering for several weeks, by making the first year’s pay deal contingent on withdrawing its mandate for strike action. The trains affected include the main intercity and commuter services around England, as well as some on cross-border routes to cities and towns in Scotland and Wales. Major events including the Eurovision song contest and the FA Cup final will be affected by the strikes, which are likely to stop most, if not all, trains at the companies involved. 5/22/2023 0 Comments Hell house the bookAt the helm of all this debauchery was Emeric Belasco.

Did I enjoy it more, less or the same? Let’s find out. Upon finishing the novel, I watched the film again. I arrived at a place the movie couldn’t or wouldn’t take me. Step by step, I went down into the depths of the plot and unearthed the complexity of the characters. The book was like a descending staircase each page was a stair. I bought and read the novel: Hell House by Richard Matheson. I watched The Legend of Hell House and I found the experience engrossingly chilling.

Wilson“Like, humpf.” Or Elizabethans painting their faces with lead-based ceruse that ate their skin and made their hair fall out. She plucks examples – Tudor fashion, she says, pretending to cinch her waist with a corset. She sits back against the banquette of the cafe in the photographic studio where we’ve met. “It’s mad! It’s massive violence.” Why can’t a woman age on screen? Or age, full stop?īut this is nothing new, she says. “I mean, are they joking? I find it so … ” she emits a plosive exhale of despair. But it’s in my head as like, ‘Well, do you decide not to and therefore potentially look older than your peers? Or do you just give in?’” Yesterday she read in the New York Times that people should get Botox in their 20s to stop wrinkles forming. This is Ruth Wilson freewheeling on how confusing she finds the notion of “female empowerment” in 2023. This is not in response to any question of mine. She is 41 and “everyone” around her talks about Botox “and what to fill their face with”. “Just that would make the world of difference,” she says. R uth Wilson hitches the skin by her ears to demonstrate how she’d look if she had “those little wires” sewn into her face, by which she means a thread lift. 5/22/2023 0 Comments Killing Time by Elisa PaigePrue's sense of responsibility occasionally leads to clashes with the more free-spirited Phoebe, however, the two grow closer as the series progresses.
