so I went antiquing today

“Is that the-”

“The Royal Crown Derby ‘Old Imari’ 2451 china as seen in Guillermo Del Toro’s Gothic masterpiece ‘Crimson Peak?’”

“Yeah. It is.”

(slightly different from the cups in the movie, because I suspect it’s a different era of the pattern, which has had many iterations since the early 19th century. but still- same pattern!)

#antiquing #IT WAS JUST THERE WAITING FOR ME #probably c. 1940s but whatever; same pattern #might be a demitasse cup? my hands are tiny so it’s hard to tell #it's 3 inches in diameter but the largest cup I've seen for sale in this pattern is 3.5 inches #not sure what that means #could just be a pattern that comes in small cups only? unclear #anyway CRIMSON PEAK CHINA!!!!#(also this set was $10!!!!)

A Soldier's Story (1984). An African-American officer investigates a murder in a racially charged situation in World War II.

While it'll never quite stack up when it comes to the In the Heat of the Night comparisons (the two films share a director and thematic throughline after all), this is still an excellent, intelligent thriller grounded in great performances and a sharp script. Denzel Washington's the clear standout (I can't believe this is only his second feature!), but he's bolstered by a great cast all around. Just a really great watch. 8/10.

Herbert Zipper was an internationally renowned composer, conductor, and arts activist who was imprisoned at Dachau in the 1930s. During that time, he had had crude musical instruments constructed out of stolen material and formed a secret orchestra that performed on Sunday afternoons for the other inmates.

Released in 1939, he accepted an invitation to conduct the Manila Symphony Orchestra but was jailed for four months by the Japanese during their occupation of the Philippines. After his release, he worked secretly for the Allies, transmitting shipping information by radio. In 1946 he emigrated to the United States, where he conducted the Brooklyn Symphony Orchestra and promoted music education. In this photo, taken on March 10, 1949, he was conductor of the Brooklyn Symphony Orchestra, and he makes some observations on an opera to violinist Sylvia Medford.
