Drivers beware! Traffic stops aren’t just dangerous, they can be downright deadly and out of the roughly 1,100 people killed by police each year, 10% of those involve traffic stops.

♫ Back Stabbers ♫ (Redux)

I mentioned in yesterday’s post about Joe Manchin’s betrayal that it had brought to mind a song, and this is that song. Interestingly, I played this one over two years ago, and when I did, my friend Jerry sent me another version … an episode of Live From Daryl’s House featuring the O’Jays in 2016, some 44 years after the original! I thought it was fun and they still sound pretty darn good for…

Unpopular Opinion: "GREAT EXPECTATIONS" Adaptations

I have seen three onscreen adaptations of Charles Dickens' 1861 novel, "Great Expectations". Needless to say, I have mixed feelings about them:

Directed by David Lean and starring John Mills, this adaptation from the 1940s seemed to be the benchmark of all versions of Dickens' novel. And for the likes of me, I cannot see why. Thanks to Guy Green and Robert Krasker's photography, it is a beautiful looking movie. The movie also featured some excellent performances, especially from Jean Simmons, Finlay Currie and Alec Guinness. However, I ended up feeling less than satisfied with the screenplay written by Lean and co-screenwriters Anthony Havelock-Allan and Ronald Neame. I found the movie's second half rushed and unfulfilling.

Directed by Julian Jarrold and starring Ioan Gruffudd, this adaptation seemed to be an improvement over the 1946 movie. I thought it did an excellent job of conveying Pip's obsession with Estella and in becoming a gentleman. And I loved Odile Dicks-Mireaux's costume designs, along with Ian McDiarmid as the attorney Jaggers. I was also impressed by Gruffudd's portrayal of "Pip" Pirrip. But . . . I thought Charlotte Rampling had been miscast as Miss Haversham. Her take on the character seemed to lack bite. And I did not care for the ending. Following a major character's death, the narrative's ending seemed to peter out in a vague manner.

Directed by Brady Hood and Samira Radsi, and starring Fionn Whitehead; this television adaptation was loathed by the critics. I actually enjoyed it, but I had some quibbles that included the heavy and unnecessary use of profanity, the resolution of Magwitch's arc occurring at Miss Haversham's home, instead of the Thames River; and Pip's fate regarding his profession. On the other hand, I really liked the performances, especially those from Olivia Colman as Miss Haversham and Ashley Thomas as Jaggers. I also liked how the miniseries conveyed how Pip's obsession with Estella and in becoming a gentleman, along with the access of easy money came dangerously close to corrupting him.

But if I must be frank, I have yet to see an adaptation of "Great Expectations" that knocked my socks off.

THE LION IN WINTER (1968) Grade: B

Such an interesting movie. Like a coming home for holidays movie but with a royal family. Had some funny light hearted moments and a crazy good cast. Great dialogue.

The Saint: The World Beater (6.20, ITC, 1969)

"Are you alright?"

"Oh, sure I am. Happens to me every day on the freeway."

"For a moment, it certainly looked like curtains for the impetuous Simon Templar."

#the saint #the world beater #1969 #itc #leslie charteris #leslie norman #donald james #roger moore #patricia haines #john ronane #james kerry #george a. cooper #eddie byrne #william wilde #rosemary donnelly #reg whitehead #anthony sheppard #clifford earl #bernard g. high #the grand finale! and it's a strangely lowkey ending. well‚ perhaps low stakes would be a better description #nobody gets murdered this week; nobody even gets their life threatened. instead we're back in the world of car racing‚ something Simon has #dabbled in before in 4.1 and 5.16 (incidentally‚ Eddie Byrne was also in 4.1 in p much an identical role; did something about him scream #car mechanic to the Saint team?). Simon's aware of what's going on almost from the outset so this becomes an exercise in him asserting a #kind of moral on the baddies (he hasn't done that in a while tbf). main baddie being the lovely Pat Haines‚ whose character has a history #with Simon that's vaguely alluded to have been romantic. she's great‚ a wicked rascal out for money‚ and almost uniquely for this series #the end of the episode catches up with her some time later to reveal that Simon has had zero impact and she's still conning people! it's #sort of lovely in a way. so yes we wrap up all nicely on a cozy feeling episode that lets pretty much everyone off the hook without #punishment. and so that was the Saint! 118 episodes later‚ done and dusted. it has its strengths and its weaknesses but there's nothing #quite exactly like it... farewell old friend. so that's that all finished i can move on to someth #but wait. what's that? Ian Ogilvy? what are you doing here? why are you beckoning towards me? no... no it can't be...

"'God's own life is an adventure, for the novel enjoyments that are promoted among the creatures are then the experiences providing the material for God's own enjoyment. 'The Unity of Adventure includes the Eros which is the living urge towards all possibilities, claiming the goodness of their realization.' (AI 381.) And God's life is also an adventure in the sense of being a risk, since God will feel the discord as well as the beautiful experiences involved in the finite actualizations: 'The Adventure of the Universe starts with the dream and reaps tragic Beauty.'" - John B. Cobb, Jr., David Ray Griffin; Process Theology: an Introductory Exposition

book im reading was a decent mid tier whodunnit set in the 60's. had an old man detective with an accent and everything. the detective is about to give his monologue revealing everything. i turn the page to see it. the book has fucking ended. theres something from the editor saying that they did not receive the final chapter of the book, and apparently, the author died last night. the book has now completely switched to the editor as they try to solve the mystery of the author's death and find the missing chapter (using clues from the manuscript of the author's manuscript)

when they did the switch and i realized that we were fully going over to Editor POV i got fucking vertigo dude. i was so confused amd thought it was legit at first and then i realized the dead author and the author on the front of the book had similar but different names and Lost My Shit

#mission status: SICK #its still a 'she breasted boobily' book but i can deal with it #the Real author is at his best when he's not preoccupied with his new POV character being a woman #when hes not doing that hes pretty solid #BUT WHEN THE THINGS IN THE MANUSCRIPT MATCH PEOPLE AND PLACES IN REAL LIFE #a thief named Johnny Whitehead VS the author's neighbor the banker John White who he had an argument with #the left out of the will and slightly ready to kill sister of the murder victim Clarissa VS the author's less-than-wealthy sister Claire #MYSTERIOUS FIGURE IN A FEDORA SHOWING UP AT THE BACK OF THE FUNERAL #the reverend in the book was an anagram of the Real Reverend that the author had run his funeral #Unhinged #i love the vibes #the editor and the reader (me) are catching shit and making connections simultaneously its so good
