I recently finished Mary & George, a limited series that portrays a fictionalized version of the story of Mary Villiers and her son George, aka The Duke of Buckingham, who rose to power in the early 17th century court of King James VI (Scotland) and I (England).

It's very good, probably one of the better historical pieces I've seen this year. Julianne Moore (Mary Villiers) and Nicholas Galitzine (George Villiers) are excellent in their roles, and it's full of a great supporting cast as well, with particular honorable mentions going to Tony Curran as King James, Laurie Davidson as Somerset, Niamh Algar as Sandie, Nicola Walker as Lady Hatton, and Mark O'Halloran as Francis Bacon.

The story basically goes like this. Mary Villiers, the widow of a minor member of the aristocracy, molded her handsome son George into becoming a lover of King James, who was well known to prefer the company of beautiful young men. (Or as the show puts it, in probably the funniest line I've ever heard, James was, "So cock-struck it's like a curse.")

The trailers for the show seemed to lean heavily on the raunch and comedy aspects, and there certainly are plenty of steamy sex scenes and irreverent laughs to be had, but there's a more serious story here as well, with themes of corrupting power taking precedence over the lighthearted.

Mary Villiers is obsessed with gaining power and favor, and more than willing to pimp out her gorgeous son to do it. And yet Julianne Moore adeptly shows Mary's side of the story, with the complicating factors of being a woman in the 17th century and therefore lacking in any traditional access to the avenues of power and wealth. "Women grow by men", as Shakespeare's Nurse famously puts it, in a play written around the time that Mary was giving birth to her son.

Moore and the script infuse the character with wit and sarcasm, even when she's being her most evil self. And yet Mary is an unreliable narrator at best. There's a scene in the final episode, where she questions George's by now outrageous behavior, and seems to sincerely claim, "You are not who I raised". But her every action thus far makes that an obvious and galling lie, and the fact that she believes this lie renders the character's level of self-awareness as practically non-existent. To the end, she seems to accept no guilt or responsibility at all for either the predictable corruption and downfall of her son or the brutal consequences suffered by her girlfriend and co-conspirator, Sandie (Niamh Algar). But Moore's performance of this unconscious amorality is both fascinating and liberating to watch.

Galitzine is also exceptional at presenting the journey of George Villiers from a vulnerable young man into quite a monstrous egomaniac. In the beginning, George seems to act mostly out of a desire to keep his mother satisfied and even, at times, a sincere affection for the King. But as time goes on, and he must scheme and plot to maintain his place as the King's favorite, he transforms into an arrogant, selfishly ambitious, and recklessly dangerous member of the royal court. It's a complicated portrayal of a character that's a little slutty, a lot scheming, but still occasionally sincere, and sometimes even struck by conscience. His best moments, such as his patience and care for his neurodivergent brother, make the audience mourn the loss of the uncorrupted young man he was, and not the petty tyrant he turns into. Galitzine also looks screen scorchingly beautiful in every scene, which doesn't at all detract from his more nuanced performances.

My one quibble with the piece is the script's characterization of King James. Actor Tony Curran is very charming as the romantic, mercurial, and "cock-struck" King, but that may be a fault rather than a feature of this depiction. James gets off rather easy, compared to everyone else. After all, he's the one who turned his personal relationships into a patronage system that basically boiled down to a sex-for-power scheme. People like Somerset, Mary Villiers and Buckingham may have exploited that system, but they didn't author it. And, although this is obviously imposing a wildly modern set of sensibilities on a historical show/events, one wonders if a man who made a habit of sleeping with much younger men who had far less power than he, should be made out to be quite so much the victim as he is in this series. Particularly the way they changed the historical circumstances of his death to fit the narrative of the pitiable gay king who just wanted to be loved but was continually let down or betrayed by his lovers.

Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy the performance overall. And his relationship with George also seemed touchingly sincere, but I also think they could have examined his role in corrupting those around him, both Somerset and Buckingham, more fully, rather than winking at it and mostly letting him off the hook.

Grade: A-

( tw : cheating )

his father had always been a bookish man, nose buried into the tomes of the summer library more so than on the wife he’d wed and knocked up. the mother of the boy who only ever wanted his attention. because of this, dax grew up closer to his mother, but his mother grew closer with other lovers. the young boy feigned ignorance, but all along he knew what his mother was up to while his father was none the wiser. slowly the woman would pull away from their little family entirely, and dax would be left with a distraught father who only buried deeper into the library he so cherished.

eventually, dax would be raised by the scholar of the summer court, a woman who taught him to read, showed him how to love the books his father did, but most of all, to take his space after she retired. much to his father’s dismay, that’s exactly what daxton did. the man was bitter about it, said plenty of things to dax, and that was when the kind hearted son shared what the man’s wife had been doing for decades. it shattered their relationship, and dax buried himself in the tomes his father had once found comfort in.

years would pass, and dax would be known as the sweet scholar. while he’d been bitter to his father, happy to hurt the man, he grew to regret it, his golden heart pained at what he’d done. dax tried to make it up within the other people in his life, kind gestures, playful smiles, and a charm that was natural but not harmful.

his life had found a rhythm, a peaceful one in the court of summer. until the high lady saw fit to shift his entire foundation. what she saw was beyond him, but daxton knew better than to turn a woman in power down. a promotion ? spymaster ? dax hides his insecurities with a smile, a playful flirt that is still so unsure of what is seen in him that he’s clueless to.

over all he’s a sweetheart, he’s a flirty charmer but he does so in a playful way not a creepy way, if that makes sense. he’s not cocky or arrogant, just a boyish sense of humor and a toothy smile. he’s loyal to the summer court to a fault, and because of that, he wants to do alina proud in his new role.

ok well i’ve slept on it i’ve thought on it etc and my thoughts on red white royal blue remain complex but i will say that like. well i was unfortunately correct when i said this movie would likely have call me by your name syndrome. like ok they had better chemistry than i initially thought all the way back in what. june? i don’t even remember. but well they did not beat the lack of chemistry allegations very well. i’m trying to give them a break because like i could tell a lot of it was just that the writing was not good but. well despite what fangirlish people on tiktok might say they did not beat the allegations. not fully. it’s not taylor zakhar perez’s fault that he’s straight and it’s not nicholas galitzine’s fault that they gave him the most irritating writing ever and just expected his sad eyes and big smile to carry it like i truly believe they tried but well. no one is ever going to be ginnifer goodwin and josh dallas again i’m sorry i have high standards. speaking of taylor zakhar perez he was an unexpected standout of that movie actually. when i saw the trailer i thought he’d be a mediocre to bad actor but he was actually pretty good i’m sorry i didn’t have faith in you buddy. maybe i will watch the kissing booth.

#i would not be watching the kissing booth FOR him though. i’d been meaning to do it for joey king #but i never had the time to watch three movies so i still haven’t #beth.txt

If anything is going to get you in the Christmas spirit, it’s English actor Nicholas Galitzine’s latest look. In his newest starring role, the 26-year-old wears a dashing Feng Chen Wang red suit, with any echoes of Old Saint Nick negated by the slick fit and even slicker hairdo.

He wore the tailoring to join an all-star cast including model and British Vogue cover star Adut Akech, The Morning Show actor Bel Powley and designer Michael Halpern in a new tongue-in-cheek film for Mercedes-Benz. The stars appear as contestants in a retro take on a gameshow hosted by Adut, Supermodel Fashion Statement, in the hope of winning a Mercedes G-Class. Nicholas plays a heightened version of himself in the “OTT” production, which was “super fun” to film, he told Miss Vogue over the phone.

“The red suit really just kind of popped along with the other extremely bold outfits we wore as a cast,” he said. “I’m very much an easy person, and I love to work with people who have bold eccentric vision. As a performer, I love to facilitate that in whatever way.”

Nicholas’s performing career wasn’t part of any grand plan – he says he was more at home on the rugby pitch than the stage while at school. But a trip to the Edinburgh Fringe saw him return to South West London with a flurry of agents eager to have him on their books. “I was always a pretty shy kid. At that point in my life, [being in a play] felt like a big step that I needed to take, but I wasn’t expecting anything to come of it,” he said. “There, this idea was presented to me of potentially becoming an actor, which was kind of crazy. I left school unsure of what I wanted to do in life. It was kind of by fate that it came at this perfect moment, and I haven’t really looked back since. I don’t think anyone who I went to school with would have necessarily have been like, ‘Oh, he’s going to be an actor one day.’ I am just as surprised as anyone else.”

Seven years have since passed, and Nicholas has had roles in Netflix’s Chambers and as a closeted teen in the Irish film Handsome Devil, and played Timmy Andrews in The Craft: Legacy, released earlier this year. But it’s his role as Prince Charming in the forthcoming live action retelling of Cinderella – due for release early in 2021 – that is sure to catapult him fully into the spotlight.

For Prince Charming, Nicholas drew on his own personality and experience to bring a modern, more human element to the role. “I definitely had a sort of rebellious period as a kid and was alway getting into trouble and was very mischievous,” he chuckled down the phone. “Yet I’ve always aspired to be the quintessential gentleman. This version of Prince Charming is very much a fusion of both those things. He’s not your typical clean-cut, linear fairytale prince, there’s definitely an edge to him and there are things about him that make him more human than your typical fairytale prince.”

The release of Cinderella couldn’t be more timely, he hopes. After the last 12 months, a happily ever after might be just what everyone needs. “People will be drawn in by the familiarity of it, but then ultimately surprised by our interpretation of it, which is kind of the best of both worlds,” Nicholas said. “I think you always feel a certain level of nervousness when you’re taking on a character that is so well known and so iconic. I felt very comfortable in the fact that we were making something bold and new, and with the team that was assembled around me, I was just so supported going through the process.”

Fans of the original Disney classic will be pleased to hear that this Cinderella is packed with musical numbers. “I just had such an incredible amount of fun doing it, being in a movie musical is one of the greatest creative gifts you can possibly imagine,” said the actor. “It was definitely intimidating in the beginning, but as soon as we finished I was so sad it was over.” Of his co-star, Camila Cabello, who plays the titular role, Nicholas said: “I can tell you for a fact that I have never felt as untalented as when I had to sing alongside her and the other incredible singers, like Idina Menzel (Cinderella’s evil stepmother), and Billy Porter (who plays a genderless Fairy Godmother). I just feel so blessed to be on these tracks with these incredible singers, and regardless of what happens in life, no one can take that away from me now.”

The Cinderella soundtrack won’t be the only album Nicholas appears on next year. “I’m going to be releasing some of my own music in the new year, which is super exciting because I’ve never really had time to pursue that, as acting has taken precedence,” he said. “My goal is to continue working with passionate, driven, artists who are willing to think out of the box, and to keep challenging myself as an artist and a creative.”

Fashion is something else that Nicholas is keen to get his teeth into. Having donned “Cuban heels and super-tight trousers” to play Prince Charming, he’s been picking up style notes from set. “I think you have to step outside of your aesthetic comfort zone when you’re creating characters, because for me, a lot of characterisation happens in costume building,” he explained. “I’ve been very lucky to play a plethora of different characters, and have had to experiment with a lot of styles that aren’t typically what I wear and have been influenced through that.”

He said he admires the wardrobe of Harry Styles, who famously takes a fluid approach to getting dressed. “Something that I’ve definitely taken on when I think of my style icons – people like Harry Styles and the way he’s managed to bring a femininity to his masculinity – is that that’s definitely the way that we’re moving as men going into 2021.” Nicholas name drops young designers Daniel W. Fletcher and Harris Reed as creatives he would like to work with in the near future, and adds that he’s long admired the work of Kim Jones and yearns to own a Tom Ford Suit.

Though classically handsome, Nicholas admits that he hasn’t always felt accepted by the fashion and film worlds. As a broad-shouldered former rugby player, Nicholas said some fashion brands simply don’t cater to his shape, but added that things are changing. “I still have thick thighs, but the male aesthetic is very much tailored to the Timothée Chalamets and the Charlie Plummers of this world,” he said. “I think that we’re moving back into this space of normalising different body types, for both men and women. I think there has been a beauty standard in fashion and the movie industry, but all the shapes are great shapes as far as I’m concerned. If people don’t want my thick thighs then that’s just that’s their fault.”

Face Claim: Conor Leslie

Love Interest: Jude Abernathy

Summary: Bellona Plinth knew why she was reaped. She knew that her last name was a death sentence, and she knew whose fault that was. Raised by her grandmother, on stories about her Great Uncle Sejanus, she knew exactly what the President really was. Her great-grandparents might have believed in poor, sweet Coriolanus, enough for him to inherit half of their fortune and to arrange a failed betrothal to their only daughter. But Livia had always seen through him, running back to district 2 and getting pregnant to avoid her parents’ choice of fate.

But President Snow had never forgotten Livia’s slight, nor her claims that he was someone connected to Sejanus’ death, and so sixty years later, Bellona paid the price. She wasn’t meant to survive the games, that much was for certain, but she was a survivor at heart, and soon earned herself the title of Victor.

But President Snow did not give up so easily, and when the Third Quarter Quell is announced, Bellona knows that only one name will be put to the reaping. President Snow might see it at his second chance to end the Plinth legacy, but if Bellona is going to lose, then she will make absolutely certain to take him down with her.

After all, Snow always falls eventually.

District: Capitol

Face Claim: Emilia Clarke

Love Interest: Apollo Crane

Summary: Concordia Snow: the Capitol’s Princess, the beautiful and charming granddaughter of President Snow. To Panem at large, Concordia was the perfect little Capitolite. Always in fashion, polite and obedient but clever and never missing a party, completely devoted to her grandfather. Only a very small handful of people knew better, knew that her pretty smile hid sharp teeth and a calculating brain. The Capitol’s best kept secret, really, that Concordia Snow was a rebel in disguise. But when the 74th Hunger Games come around, everything changes. Not because of the volunteer from 12, nor because of the star crossed lovers, but because the night before the Games, Concordia is told of her impending marriage to Seneca Crane. With no intention of becoming the Chief Gamemaker’s bride, it seems that the time has come for Concordia to play her hand – a hand that will set off a chain of events no one could have ever seen coming.

Victor of the 73rd Hunger Games, Ginny Cresta truly believed that the Games had taken everything from her. Her sister’s sanity, her brother’s life, her ability to sleep without nightmares, her innocence, and whatever farce of a childhood she’d had left, all lost to the arenas; there was nothing left for her to lose. Or so she’d thought, until the Quarter Quell was announced, and Annie’s name was drawn. Even as she volunteered, as she boarded the train back to hell, all that was running through her mind was the very first thing that Finnick had said to her when she left the arena.

No one wins the games, Gin, not until Snow is done with us. Once you’re reaped, you play until you die.

Name: Hollis Everdeen

Face Claim: Zoey Deutch

Love Interest: Finnick Odair

Hollis Everdeen thought that her life had ended with the 73rd Hunger Games. Her heart stopped when Prim’s name was called, and broke when Katniss volunteered to take her place. But somehow, against all odds, Katniss came home, and Hollis let herself breathe again. At least, until the next reaping, for the 74th Games. Haymitch had warned them that Snow would want to see Katniss punished for her trick with the berries, but still, Hollis had never expected to hear her own name called out.

TRAVIS PERKINS. college senior; twenty one. nicholas galitzine. OPEN.

and, as troy perkins once said:

“You guys are so immature. Why don’t you grow up?”

BEFORE THE PARTY;

For most people, maintaining popularity was very much a nine to five. You had to find ways to keep people’s attention on you in an age where attention spans lasted fifteen seconds at most. So whether it was throwing some epic house party that left your home completely torn up or blowing your parent’s money on some designer piece no one had yet but yourself — these were sacrifices you endured to keep yourself at the top of the social ladder. It was well worth it for the continuous flow of instagram followers and invitations to the best events in town.

Yet despite all of this work, there were individuals whom just naturally commanded a room. Or a school. Or even an entire town. Some people, a select few were just born to be at the top. Whether we liked it or not.

Travis Perkins was very much one of those select few. The moment he stepped foot in Rosewood, he’d been welcome with open arms by the influencers in town.

He’d only moved to Rosewood recently, his father having moved them to the town as a favor to his cousin’s parents so that she would have family members around her. Her parents were going through a shitstorm of a divorce, yet somehow that’d translated into Travis having to give up his life back in Los Angeles to move to some shit stain of a town in the middle of America. The way he saw it, his cousin had to get herself some thicker skin.

Whose parents haven’t gotten divorced at this point? His own parents had gone through one just a couple of years prior. Their divorced had split their family apart, his mother and young sister having moved to London in hopes of a fresh start while his father and himself remained in Los Angeles. Sure, it wasn’t the greatest thing and if he had to be often he would have preferred to have his mother and sister around but what occurred, occurred and he simply got over it. Why couldn’t she just buy herself a bunch of shit and just accept that her parents just didn’t love one another anymore?

Plus divorce wasn’t that bad of a thing. His father was far too preoccupied with his ongoing midlife crisis to concern himself with what was happening with his son’s life. So while he splurged his twenty four year old blonde bimbo into having sex with him, Travis had freedom. But the worst thing you could do was give a kid like Travis the power to do whatever he wanted.

Now, do you want to know the real reason why the Perkins men moved to the town of Rosewood? To escape Travis’ demons.

When buying luxury cars and designer clothes hadn’t been enough for Travis, he’d turned his attentions to other things. That being drugs, they helped quiet those pesky thing his psychiatrist called emotions. What good were emotions? Why did he have to feel sadness because his parents couldn’t make it work? That wasn’t his fault, that was their fault. Yet they got to move on with their lives and Travis was the one left with this anger. How was that fair? But the drugs, they made everything better. School wasn’t a complete bore as it’d always been, he could stomach the sight of a pseudo step mother that wasn’t that much older than him and going out was even more of an experience. To say he’d gotten hooked was a bit of an understatement. He’d eventually found himself accumulating a debt that was far too big to sweep under the rug anymore, especially with the men he owed.

Fortunately, or unfortunately in his case — his father had bailed him out of his debt. Despite the recent rift between the two, the Perkins men had a great relationship. It was the reason why Travis had stayed with his father. His father always knew what was best for Travis, when he wasn’t being tempted by blonde hair and boobs. So with that in mind, he chose to remove his son and himself from the temptations of the West Coast. Rosewood would not only be a new start for them, but provided them with a great business endeavour as well.

SoWood, his father had named it. A development deal approved by the Mayor that would transform an unappealing corner of Rosewood into something more like along the lines of Williamsburg in Brooklyn. It would not only cater to families but it would also be a haven for the millennial set. And who would be right by his side during the development of this new neighborhood? Travis. It was neat to have this position of power, even better to be doing it with his father. He thought his cousin would also approve of what it was they were doing, but to his surprise she could not have been more against it.

You see, Agnes Cohen was nothing like the Perkins men. She spat in the face of all that they had been given, something that frustrated him to no end. Their wealth hadn’t suddenly dropped on their laps, they had worked hard to get to have the life that they had. They, at times also had to be ruthless. Had she never learned the nice people always ended last? He was going to assume that she had not. His cousin wanted to cuddle every loser with a sob story, when those losers had to wake up to the realities of the world. But his biggest pet peeve with Agnes Cohen? She was potentially putting his father’s development at risk and for who? The Walsh’s. A family of no one’s who were stubbornly holding onto their home, despite the fact that the bulldozers would be at their front door any day now.

The fact that she stood with people rather than her own family, it was not only disrespectful but disgraceful. She wanted so badly to be a Goonie, then that was exactly what she’d be to him.

DURING THE PARTY;

Travis watched on as his cousin touched at the keys, hoping she wouldn’t screw this up. If this geezer was right and there was some massive treasure in Rosewood, he wanted to be the one to find it. Not just for the bragging rights, but perhaps it’d right all the wrongs that he’d done as of late.

There was no way his father would remain disappointed with him if he was able to bring up treasure. That was enough to cheer his cousin on, she could do this. Right? He looked back at the flames whenever she fucked up, the flames just touching parts of the map. But rather than letting his anger speak, he bit on his fist as he knew his cousin. She’d never worked well under pressure, and this was pressure to the umpth degree.

But the final note came and Agnes found herself frozen. She didn’t know what key it was and as she panicked, Travis took a hard look at the note. Agnes wasn’t the only piano player in the family, he hadn’t been either but his mother had played. Travis had sat by her side often just to watch her go, she was a legend with the keys. As he studied it, he knew he’d seen the note before. He just knew he had, so without hesitation — Travis touched the keys he hoped were correct. The Goonies stared at him, he knew that they were going to kick his ass if he’d gotten it wrong.

But Data let out a scream, letting them know that the fire had not only gone out but the map was theirs. Sure, certain parts had been charred but they’d gotten it and it was all thanks to him.

Love Interest: Finnick Odair

The buzz around Finnick Odair’s miraculous Hunger Games victory had barely begun to fade when twelve year old Lacey Tanner of District 8 shocked all of Panem by winning the 68th Games. The life of a victor was never easy, but for a child to grow up in the eyes and arms of the Capitol, right under the thumb of President Snow himself, was even more so. Lacey was fortunate that her fellow young, beloved victors; Cashmere, Gloss, and Finnick, took her under their wing, alongside the older and even more jaded victor, Haymitch Abernathy. For six years Lacey survived the constant scrutiny, keeping her head down and her chin up, forever the obedient Capitol Princess even as rebellion stirs around her. When Katniss Everdeen outmanoeuvres Snow in her own games, Lacey knows that the time for revolution is near — her only comfort is that she will be nineteen on the next reaping day, finally safe from the arena that forever haunts her nightmares. Or so she thought, until the 3rd Quarter Quell is announced.

Lacey knows. She knows that she’s returning to the games. District 8 only has two victors, and Cecelia has people who need her. Children. A family. Whereas Lacey? Her family is going into the arena with her, and there’s no guarantee that any of them will make it out.

Summary: Three years after her brother set the record for the youngest Hunger Games ever won, Marisol Odair’s name was drawn. A jack of all trades, master of none, Mari was no one’s first bet on a winner, but they underestimated the power of her spite–of course it helped to have her brother as a mentor, especially given Finnick’s sponsers. Barely fifteen when she won, and as beautiful as her brother was handsome, it was hardly a surprise when she was quickly roped into the same career as her brother. She took Finnick’s advice, collecting secrets instead of anything tangible, biding her time until she could use them. Reaped again for the Quarter Quell, Mari had a feeling her time may have come, but first she had to make sure to keep both she and her brother alive; and apparently overthrow the government in the process.
