But in his discussion, he also drew upon an alternative estimate of Fisher's which was made on assumptions of random mating and single-gene inheritance – and which led Jennings to declare that only about a tenth of the feebleminded in each generation were born of feebleminded parents.

In the eighteen-nineties, Jennings had listened to a preacher say, in one of the best sermons he had ever heard, that "it was more a man's duty to go to caucuses and elections than to go to church and prayer meetings, and that the Lord had more interest in what the political parties of this country were doing than in what its churches were doing."⁵³

53. Sonneborn, "Jennings", pp. 146-147; Jennings to Brenemann, Oct. 20, 1895; July 10, 1892, Herbert S. Jennings Papers, Section B. J44a, box 2, Brenemann file. Jennings reflected, "Isn't it queer how the respectable people can be all on one side . . . and yet that be entirely the wrong side. . . . From my own observation and experience I should say that that class, so least here in the North, would be found as a class, in the Republican party. And yet I am just as thoroughly convinced that of all the parties at present, the Republican deserves least one's support. . . . I used to think that the older wise people were conservative because they had much experience and knew that these new ideas were foolish and wouldn't work, but I am coming more and more to the conclusion that it is selfishness, unconscious selfishness." Jennings to Brenemann, Aug. 12, 1894, Herbert S. Jennings Papers, Section B, J44a, box 2, Brenemann file.

Leslie Howard and Norma Shearer in Romeo and Juliet (George Cukor, 1936)

Cast: Norma Shearer, Leslie Howard, John Barrymore, Edna May Oliver, Basil Rathbone, C. Aubrey Smith, Andy Devine, Conway Tearle, Ralph Forbes, Henry Kolker. Screenplay: Talbot Jennings, based on a play by William Shakespeare. Cinematography: William H. Daniels. Art direction: Cedric Gibbons, Frederic Hope, Oliver Messel, Edwin B. Willis. Film editing: Margaret Booth. Music: Herbert Stothart.

If Shakespeare's Juliet could be played, as it was in its first performances, by a boy, then why shouldn't she be played by 34-year-old Norma Shearer? Truth be told, I don't find Shearer's performance that bad: She lightens her voice effectively and her girlish manner never gets too coy. It also helps that William H. Daniels photographs her through filters that soften the signs of aging: She looks maybe five years younger than her actual age, if not the 20 years younger that the play's Juliet is supposed to be. I'm more bothered by the balding 43-year-old Leslie Howard as her Romeo, though he had the theatrical training that makes the verse sound convincing in his delivery. And then there's the 54-year-old John Barrymore as Mercutio, who could be Romeo's fey uncle but not his contemporary. In fact, Barrymore's over-the-top performance almost makes this version of the play a must-see -- we miss him more than we do most Mercutios after his death. Edna May Oliver's turn as Juliet's Nurse is enjoyable, if a bit of a surprise: She usually played eccentric spinsters like Aunt Betsy Trotwood in David Copperfield (George Cukor, 1935) or sour dowagers like Lady Catherine de Bourgh in Pride and Prejudice (Robert Z. Leonard, 1940). In the play, the Nurse rarely speaks without risqué double-entendres, but most of them have been cut in Talbot Jennings's adaptation, thus avoiding the ridiculous spectacle of Shakespeare being subjected to the Production Code censors. (Somehow the studio managed to slip in Mercutio's line, "the bawdy hand of the dial is now upon the prick of noon.") Some of the other pleasures of the film are camp ones, such as Agnes deMille's choreography for the ball, along with the costume designs by Oliver Messel and Adrian, which evoke early 20th-century illustrators like Walter Crane or Maxfield Parrish. No, this Romeo and Juliet won't do, except as a representation of how Shakespeare's play was seen at a particular time and place: a Hollywood film studio in the heyday of the star system. In that respect, it's invaluable.

But Jennings's explanation amounted merely to a well-intentioned extrapolation of the polygenetics of plants and animals; however plausible, it was based on little if any direct evidence from human beings.

SUPERCELL (2023)

Starring Skeet Ulrich, Anne Heche, Daniel Diemer, Jordan Kristine Seamón, Alec Baldwin, Praya Lundberg, Johnny Wactor, Richard Gunn, Anjul Nigam, Tyler W. Gaisford, Mattie Ward, Jane Lind, Jack Eyman, Stephanie Astalos-Jones, Gabriel Clark, Chozy Aiyub, Helena Sadvary, Krissy Notes, Carlette Jennings, Skip Talbot, Michael Klingher and Cheyenne Adamson.

Screenplay by Herbert James Winterstern and Anna Elizabeth James.

Directed by Herbert James Winterstern.

Distributed by Saban Films. 100 minutes. Rated PG-13.

If you ever wondered what Twister would be like if it were filmed with a shoestring budget and very little special effects, well here you go. Slipped into theaters quickly, to beat the long-delayed Twister sequel – being filmed 17 years after the first film became a moderate hit and due to come out in the summer of ‘24– Supercell tells the stories of a clan of tornado chasers who go from small town to small town to watch as tornadoes destroy the local farms and neighborhoods.

To be completely honest, I never particularly liked Twister, and Supercell doesn’t really resonate for me for many of the same reasons. Truth is, the main characters and their obsession with placing themselves in the middle of danger, seemed kind of absurd to me. I get that there is a certain adrenaline rush in witnessing the great ferocity of nature, but there is a reason that there are storm cellars all over the heartland. A twister is not something people should want to experience, and you have to worry about the mental competency of people who keep putting themselves wittingly right in the path of danger.

It's not good if you can’t decide if your main characters are determined scientists or merely suicidal.

Supercell doesn’t have all that much else to offer to the Twister template, other than a little family drama and a good-naturedly over-the-top performance by Alec Baldwin and one of the last appearances on film by the late Anne Heche.

Also, in fairness, it does revolve around the hole left in the lives of the family of one of these daredevil tornado trackers who actually did die in a tornado – years earlier in fact. So, Supercell does actually take a hard look at the hazard of the profession, although not to the extent that they stop courting danger.

The story is about William (Daniel Diemer), the teenaged son of that late tornado fighter, the legendary (in the small storm-chasing community, anyway) Bill Brody (Richard Gunn). Bill is killed in the film’s introduction, and then the film fast forwards to years later when William is living with his mom Dr. Quinn Brody (Anne Heche), a former partner in chasing but who has now cut herself completely off from the business due to the death of her husband. She sees that William is curious about what his dad used to do, but she refuses to discuss the old days.

When William gets a package of his dad’s things from his dad’s other partner, old friend Roy Cameron (Skeet Ulrich), William decides to go back to where his dad died and get the straight scoop from dad’s old pal. Cameron is not too happy to see him – knowing Quinn will blame him for igniting her son’s interest. Plus, their business has been changed into a cheesy tourist trap, offering twister tours for people who want to say they have seen one and yet do not want to actually face the danger. The tour is run by Zane Rogers (Alec Baldwin), a showman who sees the storms as a way to make a buck.

Until the end, Supercell tends to look at its tornados from a bit of distance – the destruction is mostly out of sight of the camera. This probably stems greatly from the lack of a special effects budget, but it can be like Bruce the shark in Jaws – you don’t have to see it close up to know how deadly it is. (And yes, this is the first and last time you’ll ever see Supercell even tangentially compared to the vastly superior film Jaws.)

This isn’t an actor’s film, and honestly Diemer makes for a kind of bland hero. However, I will give Supercell this, even from a distance these storms make for pretty arresting viewing. It doesn’t make Supercell a good film, but it gives the film whatever moments of intrigue that it can blow up.

I love reading your stories, especially how fleshed out each character is, were you inspired by any books you could recommend?

Hi, thanks for your kind words!

As for inspiration... man, I do a LOT of reading, who can say what came from where. I'll just drop a few of my favourites.

Anything by CLAMP, I've been obsessed with them for years! They're the mangaka collective behind Cardcaptor Sakura, XXXHolic and Tokyo Babylon, among many, MANY others. They've got a massive back library and have had their hands in several genres - and one day I will own them all 8)

Speaking of mangaka, I'm a big fan of Junji Ito of Uzumaki and Gyo fame - his work always leaves me with a sense of creeping unease. As variety is the spice of life, I also love Princess Jellyfish (Akiko Higashimura) and The Way of the House Husband (Kousuke Oono). I liked the first half of Junjou Romantica (Shungiku Nakamura), before it got too samey, and Bunny Drop (Yumi Unita) before that awful ending.

As for prose, my first recommendation is always Ursula Le Guin of Earthsea, but I'm also a fan of James Herbert (horror), and Guillermo Del Toro, who's had a hand in a few books. Recently I really enjoyed Hex by Thomas Olde Heuvelt (made me cry, goddammit!) and Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero.

In non-ficiton, Charlie Brooker is my number one - he's best known as the writer of Black Mirror these days, but he's was an article writer before that, and a very sassy one! Also random anthology books like 1001 Conspiracy Theories (not a real book... as far as I know) and Weird Things Customers Say In Bookshops by Jen Campbell. There's no better place to look for inspiration that real life!

That's just off the top of my head, but as I say, I read a LOT. Hope that helps!

Dan wouldn't have been able to turn state's evidence against Herbert if gay marriage had been illegal during the events of Bride Of Reanimator so really, anything that happens during the third movie is the result of homophobia
