One Dress a Day Challenge

September: Bond Films

Casino Royale (2006) / Eva Green as Vesper Lynd

Continuing with the five primary modes of Bond Girl chic, the third item on the list is evening wear. We've already had a taste of that with Sylvia Trench. Vesper Lynd's backless purple gown from Casino Royale is perhaps the most iconic evening dress of the Daniel Craig era. The plunging neckline and gathered material in the bodice make me think of Marilyn Monroe's famous gold dress, while the long lines echo the 1930s by way of the 1970s. The sparkly edging to the neck is meant to be attention-grabbing, and it is. The dress is finished with a matching wrap and clutch purse.

Like many dresses that appear deep purple onscreen, it appears considerably lighter and closer to raspberry-pink when seen offscreen. Compare this dress for another example of the same phenomenon.

A/N: Hell YES 😍 If you guys want any other headcanons/imagines with this boy then send em innn

Pairing: Dawyne Hoover x reader (Little Miss Sunshine 2006)

Warnings: fLufF aNd StUfF 😛

• YeSsSs okay so

• Dwayne's a pretty quiet guy, but you're not the loudest/extroverted person either, so you click pretty well

• You probably met in school or in a library or something, and caught each other's eye

• He couldn't help staring for a few moments too long, cus like 'wow you're so pretty aaghhaedvbnf'

• You smile, and he smiles and blushes, hiding his face in his book

• Yea, you're gonna be seeing him around bestie

• When he gets enough courage, he'll put a note through your locker asking if you wanna meet up after school and to write yes or no on the back of the paper and post it back through his locker

• You're like 😂 nah, I'm doing this the normal human way

• You just come up to him and say what time with a smile, and he's just 😶🥰

• Dwayne ends up telling you a lot about his chaotic family and all, and is a little hesitant when it comes to admitting his love for Nietzsche's work, but you're really interested and hang onto every word

• From then on, he's literally whipped 💕

• Is it too cliche to say that he's all "I hate everyone except you" because that's literally how he feels lol

• You start going out not long after, and he's actually, like, the best boyfriend EVER

• He likes reading to you, or whispering or talking quietly, basically being around you full stop

• His family's a little mad, but his mum adores you because you're a good influence and makes him happy, his dad thinks you're very successful and approves of you pretty quickly, Olive's legit ecstatic that there's another girl in the house she can chat to and stuff, and Frank enjoys your sense of humour and personality

• Dwayne may act unbothered and chilled, but he secretly loves hugs and kisses, can't get EnOuGh

• Only from you though, cus if his mum or something tries to hug him he's all squirming and screwing his face up in annoyance

• He's clingy in the best way 🖤

Inside Man (2006)

Inside Man does something new with the heist genre. It’s stylish, exciting, filled with intrigue and packed with great actors around every corner. Thanks to its ending, this is a film you won’t soon forget.

In New York, masked robbers take control of a Manhattan bank by holding the people inside hostage. Their leader (Clive Owen) confiscates everyone's phones, divides them into separate rooms and forces them to wear outfits identical to their captors'. As the criminals turn their attention towards the bank’s contents, Detectives Keith Frazier (Denzel Washington) and Bill Mitchell (Chiwetel Ejiofor) take charge of the negotiations. Meanwhile, the bank's founder, Arthur Case (Christopher Plummer), hires professional “fixer” Madeleine White (Jodie Foster) to protect the contents of his safe deposit box.

The ingenious thing about Inside Man is that it follows the hostage negotiators rather than the thieves. This allows us to be fooled by their operation without the film having to cheat or go by the old rule that “if the plan is laid out, it isn’t going to work and if it isn’t, everything is going according to plan”. You’re as puzzled as the hostages and the detectives by what the “Steves” are up to. The way they take control of the bank and handle the hostages proves these are no ordinary criminals. The question is what are they after, exactly? If it were simply money, that would be exciting but obvious and frankly, you’d doubt the thieves’ ability to get away with it. No. Whatever they want, it’s in that safety deposit box. The detectives don’t know that. You’re not even sure if the thieves know what’s inside but whatever it is, it's valuable and it's got to be dirty. No one with clean hands needs to call someone like Madeleine White.

This mystery of the safe deposit box solves one of the inherent problems of heist films, which is the likability of the protagonists. Even when you have the likes of Danny Ocean breaking into a vault, innocent people - security guards who are simply doing their jobs, for example - are going to get hurt or at the very least traumatized by the experience. Dalton Russel (Owen) may be dirty but he’s certainly not as dirty as Arthur Case. At least, you don’t think so. Who knows? Maybe the mystery will be worth all the inconvenience these people are going through. Either way, Frazier and Mitchell are clean for sure so you always have someone you can feel comfortable cheering for.

Aside from one scene that talks about violent video games and gangsta culture (it's a bit on the nose, even if it is largely accurate), this is a superbly directed film. There’s one particular scene where Frazier’s whole world comes to the brink of collapse. In any other movie, the director would’ve had him dramatically leave his trailer but Spike Lee instead chooses to put Denzel on a track and move him towards the camera in a continuous motion. It’s jarring and unusual but it drives the point home like nothing else could’ve. It helps that Lee is working with a wonderfully inventive story by Russel Gewirtz. Inside Man is filled with superb dialogue and makes great use of the city it’s set in. This is the kind of movie that always keeps you guessing because the different characters are always sizing each other up and snatching little advantages from the most unexpected situations. The thieves may be in control of the bank but you know that’s going to change eventually. The detectives in charge are just too smart. Unfortunately, Dalton Russell knows this, which means everything must be part of the plan…

There are a lot of complicated and dubious moral choices in Inside Man. The police make some serious mistakes. The errors they make feel like they were anticipated by the thieves. The violence and stress Russell and his crew unleash upon their hostages is nerve-wracking but it’s hard not to admire them a little bit - they’re just so good at what they’re doing. This and the mystery of that box compel you to keep watching, always keeping note of who’s doing what because this film is told in flashbacks. You sort of know what’s going to happen at the end but you have no idea how. You don’t know what the title refers to, but it’s got to be a hint and you’re determined to figure it out before time runs out and the movie tells you. This is the kind of movie you want to watch again once it’s done so you can tally all the breadcrumbs before they pay off.

Inside Man is a memorable thriller filled with great stuff. There are twists, satisfying red herrings, memorable characters, ambiguous morals to keep you guessing, an intelligence that acknowledges the pitfalls of the genre and the choices made by Spike Lee make it interesting on a technical level as well. Sometimes it’s so intense I don’t know if you could call it “fun” but there’s no way you can keep your eyes off of Inside Man. (March 19, 2022)

One Dress a Day Challenge

Black and White October

Marie Antoinette / Kirsten Dunst as Marie Antoinette

This elegant ermine-trimmed black gown appears in a brief scene where Marie exchanges an uncomfortable few obligatory words with the late king's mistress. Fortunately, it has been exhibited, so we can better appreciate its uncluttered lines and the extravagant black ribbon bow in front.

Looks like the dress itself might be made of velvet. It is very likely based on a fashion plate of the 1770s (see below), which fits, since Louis XV died in 1774.

All-Time Favorite Trailers: 'Little Children'

A lot of movie trailers are scored with certain kinds of music to where certain themes are used over and over in them such as the ones from “Black Rain” and “Requiem for a Dream.” But for the “Little Children” trailer, however, the images we see are instead scored to the sound of a locomotive train which is about to reach its desired destination, and it proves to be the perfect illustration of…
