(Untitled)
For the purpose of this reply, I shall understand the question to mean specifically theatre plays, not "drama" in a wider sense including tv shows, or not-stageplay based movies. This being said, here are some of mine, in no particular order:
Friedrich Schiller: Don Carlos
Good old Schiller wrote many a historical drama, and his Wallenstein ( Read more... ) -
January Meme: The Return of RDJ and the pivot from Kang to Doom: opinions
lightofdaye asked me for my opinion(s) on the impending return of RDJ (as Dr. Doom, not Tony Stark) to the MCU and the pivot from Kang to Doom in terms of main antagonist to be in the future movies. I see these as two different issues, so I'll deal with the later ones first ( Read more... ) -
Yuletide Story: The Other Woman (18th Century Fiction)
To no one's surprise, my story was the 18th Century. To my considerable surprise, my recipient wasn't a salon friend but completely new to me, so I was a bit nervous. My recipient had asked for Voltaire and given several good prompts, but the problem was that I had already written the story about Émilie du Chatelet, and the story about his love/ ( Read more... ) -
End of Year Meme
1. Your main fandom of the year?
Still 18th Century history, Prussian-Austrian-Hannoverian-French edition, with the occasional ancient history interlude.
2. Your favorite film watched this year?
It's a race between Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and Dune II; I think the Apes win, not least I because I continue to be amazed how this rebooted ( Read more... ) -
Yuletide Recs (II)
My Yuletide recipient has commented, phew. This was a new-to-me person, so unlike the last few years, I had no idea what their reaction would be, and they wrote lovely, detailed feedback. Hooray! Have a few more recs:
A Dangerous Man: Lawrence after Arabia:
Not for this Age by Five: a elegantly written "Five things...." about T.E. Lawrence and ( Read more... ) -
Yuletide Recs (I)
A first few Yuletide recs:
Agatha All Along:
Smart and Powerful: in which Jen encounters Agatha for the first time in the early 20th century. Banter, UST and foiled murderous intentions ensue.
Dune:
Adam's Rib: in which Irulan attempts to interview Paul for her histories between Dune and Dune Messiah. (It works for the Villeneuve movies ( Read more... ) -
Doctor Who Christmas Special: Joy to the World
Featuring the return of Stephen Moffat as a scriptwriter for DW, and okay, as Christmas specials go. (My own take on the various Christmas specials from various New Who eras: I love only two - The Runaway Bride and The Husbands of River Song respectively, i.e one RTD and one Moffat effort, but like most of them (in varying degrees). I think there ( Read more... ) -
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew 1.04 and 1.05:
Continues to be excellent, might shape up to be my favourite SW series after The Clone Wars if it keeps this up. As with The Clone Wars, the fact its targeted primarily at children works to its benefit, not detriment, I suspect (i.e. it is a tv show with an overreaching story, sure, but it is also episodic, using the tv format, not a movie broken ( Read more... ) -
Yuletide!
Yuletide has gone live, and I'm very much looking forward to all the stories waiting. My gift was just what I wanted: messy, complex siblings relationships, via a look at Elizabeth Seymour, from that other ambituos family in Tudor England. I love it!
