Who was that Miranda actress who was in Lord of the Rings? Miranda Richardson? Anyway, that's who I thought of when I read the title.
She seems rather calm, if she's worried about her husband/lover on that ship. It might be that she lives on that coast, and anytime a shipwreck happens, it means the entire village gets to scamper in and salvage whatever they can. See a scene like that in one of the Poldark novels. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius at October 30, 2019 09:43 AM (ClOmq) 56

I always find Waterhouse enjoyable on many levels. The scenes from mythology and literature, like today's, provide an instant context. In "Miranda" he uses earth tones that aren't bright but still have vibrancy. The look and color of nature is so appropriate as Miranda had lived her life away from people and their creations. I love the Pre-Raphaelite use of ideal and subtle skin tones as well as the romantic poses for the characters.
There is a complexity to Waterhouse's paintings because all the elements, figures, backgrounds, adornments, etc., figure strongly into the final effect of the work. As the viewer pays more attention, more elements are revealed. Thanks, CBD. This painting is wonderful to spend time with. Posted by: JTB at October 30, 2019 09:47 AM (bmdz3) 82

The girl is Miranda, from the Shakespeare play Tempest. Her father created a storm that is wrecking the ship. In the play she's heartbroken and begs her father to stop the storm, but unlike most of Waterhouse's work there's not a lot of emotion here.

".. this may not be what you expect to hear. but as far as the climate scientists know there is no link between climate change and drought.That may not be what you read in the newspapers and sometimes hear commented, but there is no reason a priori why climate change should made the landscape more arid." He's admitting there's never been a scientific basis for the endless climate drought scares? He went on to say that in Australia, droughts are not increasing, and there's no drying trend in one hundred years of data. He's also admitting the models can't predict extremes in rain either.

Having a magnificent epoch running through your head with that haunting guitar is not a bad thing or annoying in any way.

If you ran a poll of under 30's and 70% came back as pro Socialism it means nothing. Run the same poll and ask the same question but this time to the ones who say yes, ask for $10 to give to someone who makes less than they so you can record them as yes.

It turned into a disaster when the second lead got so nervous before the show he started hurling and his understudy was unprepared to go on. Still had a lot of fun tho'. Got to see their production of Man of La Mancha. Awesome play with a great moment in the third act. Yes, we did Shakespeare in high skool in Alabama.

Well, probably, but again the only thing the medical examiner can state is that the wounds are consistent with strangulation. They cannot conclusively state what happened, only give highest probability.

One of the best interpretations of Prospero, inspired by the speech in which he lays down his wand, and the belief that "The Tempest" was Shakespeare's final play, is that Prospero is intended to represent Shakespeare himself, and his "magic" is his words, the means through which he can create entire worlds.
In that reading of it, Prospero's laying down of his wand, at the end, is Shakespeare laying down his pen for good. Posted by: Tom Servo at October 30, 2019 10:26 AM (Kpl3J) 289

BTW, we donate the books to the closest fire station if they want them. Also, nursing homes and the local senior center. Posted by: JTB at October 30, 2019 10:26 AM (bmdz3) 292

The Tempest was one of Shakespeare's last plays. Prospero's last scene is often considered symbolic of the author basically laying aside his own art. FWIW.

I agree, if you read through it first, you can really get the language better and the notes help you understand the inside humor and references. Then the film or play version really comes alive. Thanks to a high school class I was able to do that with Romeo & Juliet and Hamlet. Saw Hamlet live with Derek Jacobi playing the young prince in Ashland, Oregon. I don't know how my parents afforded it but I'm so glad I had the opportunity. I wish I could get down there every year for the festival.

288 ... "One of the best interpretations of Prospero, inspired by the speech in which he lays down his wand, and the belief that "The Tempest" was Shakespeare's final play, is that Prospero is intended to represent Shakespeare himself, and his "magic" is his words, the means through which he can create entire worlds.
In that reading of it, Prospero's laying down of his wand, at the end, is Shakespeare laying down his pen for good." I've always liked that interpretation. It lends poignancy to an already emotional final scene. I also like the way he 'prepares' the next generation (of playwrights) for the realities of the world. The wand could be a passing of the baton. Posted by: JTB at October 30, 2019 10:36 AM (bmdz3) 339

Why on earth would you doubt it? Look, pretty much everyone on earth thinks the Epstein death was at best extremely sketchy. They were even kind of blatant about it, pulling him off protective detail and the camera going off. And what is being done about it? What outcry is there? People act like this is a movie, and if some conspiracy was revealed then heads would roll and it would have serious consequences. There aren't any in real life.

366 How wonderful. Derek Jacobi is (was?) a great actor.
He really was. A bit long in the tooth to be playing that character even in 1983, but the stage allows for that kind of thing where the screen won't. He's still alive, doing small bit parts still. Its extraordinary how many great actors come from England. Something about fish & chips I guess. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at October 30, 2019 * * A couple of years ago my PBS station ran Last Tango in Halifax, in which Jacobi starred as a retired widower who meets the woman he fell in love with way back in 9th grade or something, and they fall in love and plan to be married . . . and their grown children are very much put out by it. Set in Yorkshire, so the dialect is different from standard BBC, but Jacobi and the others are easy to understand. Kind of fun. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius at October 30, 2019 10:46 AM (ClOmq) 383

I guess maybe Dublin rhymes with lovin' if you have enough of an Irish accent. Alcohol may help.
********** If you're looking for poetic purity go read some Frost or Longfellow. If you want a vehicle for cheap laughs, potty humor and puns, I'm your guy. Nonetheless, 'Dublin' was a necessary element of the nuanced construction of the piece, in order to link the subtle imagery of the painting, its drama and the setting with the colloquial "bun in the oven" punchline of the limerick. The thinly veiled humor juxtaposed with the darker symbolic realism. This justifies the near-rhyme usage. You must learn to look for the 'balance' in the work, as Kris might say.

Not much there to stop it.
There's a lot of cartilage and muscle there. Try using a wire to cut a steak in half some time, and that's just muscle. You can do it, but its not easy, and the wire is just as likely to break, especially at the handle where its taking the most strain. There's a reason those IS guys had to saw at someone's head with a big sharp knife other than sheer incompetence. Its not easy to do.

If Shakespeare plays are too difficult to read, start with his sonnets. But read them out loud. You might be amazed at how effective they are and how a change of emphasis can make such a difference.
Also, watch a good production. The Kenneth Brannaugh productions of "Henry V" and "Much Ado About Nothing" are enjoyable and beautifully filmed. But to my mind their greatest value is the delivery of the lines. It adds so much to understanding the plays and demonstrates how powerfulo Shakespeare's word are.

419 ... "There are people who hate how Branaugh delivers his lines. The hissing through his teeth, the seeming lack of pauses.
I like it. I find him understandable, but I know that he turns a fair number of people off." Hi TJM, Like you I like his delivery for the most part. What I especially like is that the other actors can deliver their lines so effectively. I think of Brian Blessed, in full armor, delivering the demands to the French court or the 'wooing' scene between Brannaugh and Emma Thompson. Brannaugh the director made sure the words and their delivery were clear and given their full emotional power.

"Derek Jacobi is (was?) a great actor." Was. But what a career! The other day, my wife and I watched a classic, "Day of the Jackal" (which, IMHO, is still one of the best thrillers ever made), and there was a very young Jacobi, playing an assistant police officer. Not a big part, but he did it very well.

China refused to grant visas to three South Korean members and the school originally said the tour would go forward without them.
