My thoughts on the new Matilda movie musical

Yeah, I’m gonna get this out of the way - I am extremely biased because I grew up on the OG Matilda with Mara Wilson. It’s one of my comfort movies, so I was likely to be critical of this. However I’m also a fan of the musical and Tim Minchin in general, so I was willing to give it a shot. Overall? The Mara Wilson version is the absolute superior movie. The musical is somewhat more true to the book (except the bullshit with Miss Honey’s parents), but there’s something very overly-produced and rushed about this new version. I liked most of the songs, but they felt a lot faster than the songs on the musical soundtrack and it gave the movie this weird pacing issue where it was both slow, with its overindulgent dream sequences, and incredibly rapid-paced with how quickly it jumps from plot points and the songs are sped up. “Bruce” was my favourite of the musical numbers but I don’t like that Bruce was downgraded into being Matilda’s age instead of a child a few years older. It doesn’t really feel like a cohesive story so much as a bunch of fantastical set pieces linked together. And while the actress who played her was a good singer, I couldn’t help but find this Matilda kind of unlikeable? There aren’t many scenes where she’s interacting with the kids the way an actual kid would, like in the OG movie and the book where there’s a long scene with her and Lavender as Hortensia explains the ins and outs of Cruncham Hall to them - instead we get a musical number of the kids singing about how tough the school is. Most of her scenes involve her yelling at the adults around her or singing about how unfair her life is. Also, she kept purposefully defying Trunchbull (lying about that kid having narcolepsy, trying to defend Bruce, etc) but Trunchbull never really does anything to her for it aside from vaguely promising to punish her “late”. Like when she shoves Bruce in the Chokey, why not come back and do something to Matilda? (Also Miss Honey’s aghast at Bruce being put in the Chokey because “he’s too young!” but like...putting a child in the Chokey at all is cruel and unusual so what weird complaint? The way she says it makes it sound like she’d be fine with it if he was a nine year old.) Like in the OG movie, she locked Matilda in the chokey just because her dad sold her a shitty car, tries to have her locked away when she figures out Matilda was at her house and blames Matilda for the glass spilling even though she was sitting at her desk. The movie tried to get you to feel sorry for her by giving Mr and Mrs Wormwood moments where they mistreat her, but it just fell kinda flat for me, especially since the Wormwoods came across like they were doing another movie offscreen. (I also found it weird they cut Matilda’s older brother Mikey.) This Matilda just comes off like a bossy little showoff and the actress’s habit of shrieking half her lines didn’t help - I think it’s obvious she’s more used to acting onstage where you have to project your face than in a movie.

I don’t have much to say about the other kids because they barely seemed to be in the movie - Hortensia got changed to a weird kid with a beret and I don’t think anybody even spoke her name onscreen, Lavender became “the newt kid” and more like Matilda’s secretary than her best friend and Bruce got that one song and went right back to being irrelevant again. Emma Thompson was easily the best part of the movie, she was clearly having an absolute blast playing Miss Trunchbull and they included some scenes that were in the original novel, like picking a boy up by his ears, but I’m sorry - Pam Farris’s Trunchbull would have utterly destroyed Thompson’s. She’s played way more for comedy and her defeat is a lot more anticlimactic and cartoony.

Miss Honey is a massive downgrade from the original. The actress had a good singing voice, but Miss Honey in this is a soggy pile of lettuce. She spends the entire movie stuttering and quailing and makes very limp attempts at protecting the kids and overall it’s easy to completely forget she’s in a scene. The OG Miss Honey had a dark past that caused her great pain, but “she did not allow it to interfere with her teaching” and she makes much more of an effort to be proactive in her children’s lives - including when she goes to Matilda’s house and tells off her parents directly. This one was just so bland and two-dimensional and she just spends like every scene with this annoying timid smile on her face. I also found it weird Matilda happened to tell a story that was exactly what happened to Miss Honey’s parents - does she have clairvoyance in this version as well and she can see the backstory of her future adopted mother? Also, with how the character of Ms. Phelps suddenly became like a major supporting character, why didn’t Ms. Phelps just adopt Matilda? It seemed very weird to me Matilda spends all this time with another adult who isn’t Miss Honey and she never gets suspicious about why this kid doesn’t appear to have any friends or why she’s never met her parents - also, why did Matilda keep lying to Ms. Phelps about having shitty parents? She’s fine with outright confronting her parents over her father’s dirty business dealings and outright defying the Trunchbull, but she can’t tell the one adult she actually trusts the truth about what’s going on? Ms. Phelps didn’t seem to have much of a life outside of driving her library van around and listening to Matilda’s story, so it seemed off they put so much focus on her. Matilda’s bond with Miss Honey also suffered greatly in comparison to the book and OG movie and we didn’t even have the scene where she officially has her adoption papers signed by the Wormwoods. If it was that easy for Matilda to leave, why didn’t she just ask Ms. Phelps if she could live with her before the movie started? Why keep lying? Also I found it interesting that every mean/abusive adult was white but every “sympathetic” adult had been raceswapped. I don’t think the filmmakers bothered to stop and consider how problematic that is, but this post is already getting pretty long so that’s as much as I’m going to say. All in all, I regret paying money to see it. Again, Tim Minchin’s songs were the best bit but the whole movie just felt like it was trying to distract you from the weak storytelling with flashy set pieces and overly-saturated colours. (Also what the fuck was that bit right at the end where Crunchem Hall has a fairground built on the playground? Like yeah, I’m sure kids will really want to focus on learning when there’s a fucking ferris wheel and helter skelter outside!)

Women’s Rugby Japan vs Canada World Cup game is scheduled for Sunday, October 9, 2022.

New Post has been published on https://thedailyrugby.com/womens-rugby-japan-vs-canada-world-cup/

The Daily Rugby

https://thedailyrugby.com/womens-rugby-japan-vs-canada-world-cup/

Women’s Rugby Japan vs Canada World Cup game is scheduled for Sunday, October 9, 2022.

The Japan and Canada Women’s Rugby teams will go head to head on the 9th of October, 2022. You must be wondering how to watch Women’s Rugby World Cup: Japan vs Canada outside UK. ITV is geo-restricted outside the UK due to content licensing rights. However, the daily rugby can give you access.

Rugby Canada Announce 32 Player Squad for Women’s Rugby World Cup in New Zealand – First Match October 9th vs Japan

Coach Kevin Rouet has named his 32 player roster going to NZ for the World Cup. One of the most notable omissions is Pam Buisa, a player who was making headlines during the UK tour of November 2021 under coach Sandro Fiorino. She came off the disappointing Olympic 7s performance that summer but shone as an impact player in the XVs tour that fall.

Women’s Rugby Japan vs Canada World Cup

This will be the fifth time Japan have participated in the women’s Rugby World Cup, but they have not enjoyed much success at the tournament.

They have won only one pool game, beating Sweden 10-5 in 1994. Can they make it two against Canada in Whangarei this Sunday?

Canada have featured at every women’s Rugby World Cup and will become the first nation to play 40 matches in tournament history this weekend. Sunday’s pool opener against Japan is also Canada’s 150th women’s Test match.

Three players – second-row Tyson Beukeboom, flanker Karen Paquin and full-back Elissa Alarie – are playing in their third World Cup, having been part of the Canada squad that made the 2014 final as well as playing at RWC 2017.

That earned her a starting flanker role in the June 2022 tour to NZ where she started at both blindside and openside over the three games against USA, Australia and NZ. She had a quiet tournament and in the July home tests against Italy and Wales, coach Rouet went with Fabiola Forteza, Karen Paquin, Courtney Holtkamp, Sara Svoboda, Gabrielle Senft in the flanker roles. He must have liked what he saw as all those players made the cut, Buisa is on the non-travelling reserves.

In his selection comments he did mention the selection process took into account “team players and a good group to be together for 2 months, it was a balance in the decision for sure”.

On which date Japan Women vs Canada Women going to play?

The Japan Women vs Canada Women match date is on the 9th of October 2022. The 1991 Women’s Rugby World Cup marked Japan’s entry into the global stage. Japan has since participated in three other World Cups – in 1994, 2002, and 2017. The Japan Women claimed the Asia Rugby Women’s Championship in 2015, 2016, and 2017.

The Canada women’s national rugby union team is represented by Rugby Canada and plays in red and black. Currently classified as the third-best team in the world, they were ranked fifth in World Rugby’s first women’s rankings. Canada participates in events like the Rugby World Cup and the Pacific Four Series.

Canada Women’s Rugby World Cup Squad 2022

Elissa Alarie; Maddy Grant, Sara Kaljuvee, Alex Tessier, Paige Farries; Taylor Perry, Brianna Miller; Brittany Kassil, Emily Tuttosi, DaLeaka Menin, Courtney Holtkamp, Tyson Beukeboom, Fabiola Forteza, Karen Paquin, Sophie de Goede (captain).

Replacements: Gilian Boag, Mikiela Nelson, Alexandria Ellis, Ngalula Fuamba, Emma Taylor, Gabrielle Senft, Justine Pelletier, Julia Schell.

a p p l i c a t i o n

( maia mitchell & ginnifer goodwin ) bopping along to haven’t met you yet by michael buble is joellene , the twenty - five year old ciswoman thrown back to their business management days with some of her memories . voted most likely to start their own charity , joel was known for being affable & gullible , go figures you’d always find them doing volunteer work , but grew up to be audacious & maladroit .

b a c k g r o u n d

all of joellene & her six other sisters were born into wealth . a silver spoon in their mouth from the moment they took their first breathes

the farris family grew up on a huge farm mansion in mississippi , rich off of old money passed down throughout generations

just because the family had money though didn’t mean that all the girls grew up to be spoiled .

the two eldest & joellene ( the second youngest ) - ended up being a mix between their momma & pappa : they loved the farm

they loved taking care of the animals , doing gardening & cooking / baking

the other three girls , however , grew up to be materialistic & bratty

joel never really minded , they weren’t her issue in the long run

she wasn’t exactly popular while going through school , but she was wasn’t an outcast or loner either

honestly . . . nothing really big really happened in joel’s life . never had a bad run in with the cops , never had those messy break ups you see in the movie

she was just average . always average . even when choosing what college she went to & what degrees she wanted .

c o l l e g e t o 2 0 2 0

college wasn’t really that different for joel . stuck with her friends , minded her own business on the daily . nothing too out of the ordinary

she wanted to branch out a bit a year into college , but she did that by joining a few clubs

joel ended up joining debate & journalism

she really didn’t . . . do anything exciting in college either

didn’t go to parties , didn’t even start to drink until she was of legal age

hasn’t done any drugs ( doesn’t even take store - bought meds )

a plane jane with a heart of gold

she spent a lot of time volunteering during college as well

after graduating , she went out & opened up her own little bakery ! super small , but officially owned by her

honestly she loves his bakery more than herself oops

often times would use all the tips she earned at work to buy meals for the homeless

she almost didn’t go to the reunion though ? she almost felt like no one would even remember her

it was when the reunion was announced that joel realized she never did anything spectacular in life ? kinda felt like she had missed out on so much :/

p e r s o n a l i t y

southern bell mixed with girl next door

will do everything in her power to help someone else

selfless & very impressionable

a walking doormat™

a really soft girl who will cry if you’re mean to her oops

loves fashion though ? also loves to dress up

but . . . she will wrestle you in the mud

And people are trying to communicate in a certain way on Facebook – they share information with their friends, they learn about what their friends are doing – so there’s really a whole new opportunity for a new type of advertising model within that.” –Mark Zuckerberg, creator of Facebook

54. “Doing business without advertising is like winking at a girl in the dark. You know what you are doing, but nobody else does.” –Steuart Henderson Britt, consumer behavior specialist

Eamus Catuli - Wikipedia

"Eamus Catuli" is a Latin phrase associated with the Chicago Cubs, a Major League Baseball team, and with the team's home ballpark, Wrigley Field. It has gained fame at both a local and national level. Featured on a sign that sits perched atop the Lakeview Baseball Club—the first of the rooftop establishments overlooking the ballpark[1]—it has not only become something of a rallying cry amongst Cubs fans, but has also served to mark the team's historic futility.[2] "Eamus Catuli" is a Latin translation for "Let's go Cubs".[3]

Features[edit]

The primary sign, with "Eamus Catuli!" posted in large, white capital letters on a blue background (the words stacked one over the other), is on the left side of the upper facade of the Lakeview Baseball Club building, 3633 N. Sheffield Avenue, just beyond the ballpark's right field bleachers. Not only can it be seen from the street, but it's also easily readable from various points within the ballpark. It is accompanied by another smaller sign to its right, reading "AC," followed by seven (originally six) numbers which change yearly. Originally this sign read AC075188 in white on a blue background. At the beginning of the 2016 season, it read AC0871108. After the Cubs won the 2016 World Series, it was reset to AC000000.

Meaning[edit]

The phrase "Eamus Catuli" is derived from Latin and loosely translates to "Let's go Cubs!"— the word "Eamus" meaning "Let's go," and "Catuli" technically meaning "whelps."[4] Without a direct Latin equivalent for "Cubs," its originator settled on the word for "whelp," which is defined as "the young offspring of certain animals, such as dogs, wolves or bears."[5] Thus, "Eamus Catuli" could be understood as "Let's go little bears!"[4] i.e., "Let's go Cubs!"

The meaning of the secondary sign is more straightforward yet also a little more complex, particularly since some math is involved. The letters "AC" stand for "Anno Catulorum," which again is Latin-based, meaning "In the Year of the Cubs."[6] The numbers which follow refer to three different date markers—counting the years since the team’s seasonal and playoff success. The first two represent the number of seasons since the Cubs last won the National League Central division title (2016). The next two represent the number of seasons since the Cubs last won the National League pennant (2016). The last three (originally two) represent the number of seasons since the Cubs last won the World Series (2016).[7] Using this vernacular, AC000000 would indicate that the Cubs won the division and National League title and World Series title this year. That finally happened early in the morning on November 3, 2016, when the Cubs defeated the Cleveland Indians in Game 7 of the 2016 World Series.[3]

Both the "Eamus Catuli!" and "Anno Catulorum" signs were erected atop the Lakeview Baseball Club around Opening Day of the baseball season in April 1996.[8] Visible from the stands in Wrigley Field, they were the brainchild of Bob Racky, owner of the building and managing director of the club at the time. They were meant to serve as a trivia contest for Cubs fans, with the winner receiving a one-year membership to the club.[9] In addition, Racky also believed that it made the building, and its rooftop club, easily identifiable.

The contest to guess the meaning of the signs was more challenging than Racky anticipated. Though he offered monthly clues to contestants, it wasn’t until the end of that year that someone correctly guessed the meaning of the "Eamus Catuli!" sign. Capturing the meaning of the "Anno Catulorum" sign, however, proved to be more difficult—even with continuing clues. In fact, it wasn’t until September of the following year, 1997, that a caddy from the Glen Oak Country Club correctly guessed the meaning of both signs, winning the one-year membership, as well as a day for four at the club.[9]

History[edit]

Once the contest was over, the signs remained. With updates to the numbers of the “Anno Catulorum” sign with every passing season,[8] the signs continued to generate press in both local and national news media outlets. Not only were they tracking the progress (or lack thereof) of the team, but they also came to be an identifiable part of Chicago Cubs and Wrigley Field lore, as well as a type of rallying cry for Cubs fans: "Eamus Catuli!"

In 2012, with the building and club under new management, both signs were removed temporarily for repairs. At the time, however, its owner also debated publicly whether to put the “Anno Catulorum” sign back up, since some felt it was a negative reminder of the team’s record of futility.[10] Eventually, though, both the "Eamus Catuli!" and "Anno Catulorum" signs returned.

Significance[edit]

With mentions in numerous books and articles—ranging from The New York Times,[11][12] New York Daily News[13] or Boston Globe[14] to USA Today,[15] the Christian Science Monitor[16] or Sports Illustrated[17]—the "Eamus Catuli!" and "Anno Catulorum" signs have come to be equated with Chicago Cubs baseball and Wrigley Field. Moving beyond a trivia contest, both have gained a life of their own—identifiable to fans as well as ballplayers on both the home and opposing teams. For Carlos Peña, Cubs first baseman for the 2011 season, the sign appeared to be a source of frustration when he called for a change in the team's losing ways mid-season.[18] For others, such as rival catcher A. J. Pierzynski, it's served as an opportunity to gloat over the team's continually lackluster fortunes.[19] In each case, it has certainly come to be equated with futility, its numbers keeping track and serving as a reminder of the team’s seasons, and possibly culture, of losing.
