Boys in a Boat: Movie Review

When I read Daniel James Brown’s acclaimed book “Boys in a Boat”, I fell in love with rowing. When I saw the movie by the same name, I fell in love with Callum Turner who gives a thoughtful, heartrending performance as Joe Rantz. Many interesting details from the book are missing in the movie but it is just as inspirational and elegant. Drawing on the true events from newspaper articles, photos,…

Milestone Monday

On this day, August 1 in 1936, the Summer Olympics opened in Berlin with a ceremony presided over by Adolf Hitler. This Olympiad had a number of its own milestones: it was the first to be televised; noted German filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl was commissioned to produce the documentary Olympia, which pioneered many of the techniques now common in the filming of sports; Hitler used the games as an opportunity to showcase his government’s racist and antisemitic policies; and Black American athlete Jesse Owens won four gold medals in the sprint and long jump events as a middle finger in the eye of those policies.

The opening ceremony featured a flyover by the German airship Hindenburg flying the Olympic flag behind it, and a lot of Hitler glorification. The American novelist Thomas Wolfe was present and observed that the opening was an "almost religious event, the crowd screaming, swaying in unison and begging for Hitler. There was something scary about it; his cult of personality." The opening wasn’t without its absurdly humorous moment however. Toward the end, 25,000 pigeons were released over the stadium, dramatically captured by Riefenstahl in her film. At the same time, cannons were fired, apparently terrifying the circling army of pigeons, which proceeded to release a barrage of pigeon poop on the upward-looking spectators.

This souvenir publication, Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung: Olympia-Sonderheft, was a special issue of the weekly German illustrated magazine Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung, published by Ullstein Verlag and produced on June 16, 1936, featuring over 90 fully-illustrated pages.

Jesse Owens: A Legacy of Courage, Athletic Triumph & Who Single-handedly Crushed Hitler's Myth of Aryan Supremacy

James Cleveland “Jesse” Owens (September 12, 1913–March 31, 1980) was an American track and field athlete who won four gold medals in the 1936 Olympics. Owens was known as “perhaps the greatest and most famous athlete in track and field history” during his career. He specialised in sprints and long jumps. At the 1935 Big Ten track meet at Ann Arbour, Michigan, he set three world records and tied…

@starwonderz / this might be a baccano starter call. ( laz smith )

"Hotshots who try to silence the gunfire aren't worth anything in my eyes. You can try all you want, but you'll never catch a bullet, or the smoke from my barrel. You're not even partway to interpreting my message correctly, but you should consider yourself lucky for your lack of insanity. Only I take the time to decipher the beauty in this fine weapon's destruction. Only I could."

Saying some things that don't ultimately have wider meaning in response to a rather reasonable request to put his guns away for the moment, Laz huffs.

"You have no reason to believe in my talent, it's true---but if I'd wanted to shoot to kill, someone would have dropped." Most people wouldn't say a thing like that with a smile on their face, but Laz can't help feeling a little cool. Most people who know him well don't bother to pretend to find him impressive or intimidating. The young performer before him hasn't purposefully done either, but he's put weight behind the drawn gun that his close acquaintances understand isn't there.

Most of the time, he's firing for his own pleasure. Killing someone for real, even in self defense, would probably make him sick.

"But, there you have it. I've lain my lunacy aside for your petty demands, and the songs have ceased. In other words, it wouldn't have mattered whether or not I shot anyone; they've been scared off. I wonder what complaints you can conjure about the beautiful instrument of mine that saved your skin just now."

#set before my baccano 1936 fanfiction but naturally after 1932 summer #muse: laz smith #starwonderz #doesnt have to be first meeting but i intended this to be before they've really got an accurate read on eachother

We all know at this point that the name Astarion is connected to the word "star" (starry or little star).

But Larian decided that they wanted to go all in with the details and they delivered!

The flower you can place on his tomb in the final romance scene (which I think is such a cute and tender gesture and I love his reaction to it), seems to be an Ornithogalum umbellatum, a star-shaped white flower with six petals. Among the plant's many common names, there are summer snowflake, starflower, and star-of-Bethlehem.

Moreover, in the language of flowers, its meanings are related to trauma, mourning, and welcoming pain without repressing it.

According to Doctor Edward Bach (1886 – 1936), these flowers are "For those who find themselves in a state of great anguish due to situations that, in a given period, have caused so much unhappiness", and can be used to help with the aftermath of a trauma, the alleviation of pain and the mourning process.

Edit: every time I see an artist include this flower in their Astarion fanart my heart swells with joy. Love this community

#Alright I'm gonna go cry #as if that scene didn't already break me #I love the good/spawn ending so much #it's such a lovely testament to the journey to overcome trauma and start the healing process #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #astarion #astarion ancunin #baldur's gate iii #bg3 astarion #language of flowers #bg3 spoilers
