cool . i have never heard of the guy . just checked him out on the net . thanks , brian . . . it ' s interesting that malick has tried to make kit more humane than the real starkweather who appears to have been a complete evil psycho judging from what i ' ve read about him so far . i have to say though that badlands is the only film of the ones most often mentioned that is the closest to an actual adaptation from the real life story . natural born killers feels more inspired by badlands then directly by the life of charles starkweather . but i base that on my 15 minutes old knowledge of the man .

there are no ocean ports in new mexico . if the navigation represented in upwards is a depiction of the hale river , then the point of placing the hale river is to provide ocean shipping to the game maps . the columbia and snake rivers in washington and oregon carry hundreds of millions of bushels of wheat each year . the hale river depicted on this map recalls these rivers , running a course on the map of badlands through geography similar to that of those real rivers .

it remains to be seen how this story will tie into the plot of badlands . here ' s the official plot synopsis of the show , courtesy of amc ' s own website :
last season , game of thrones introduced viewers to the castle of zafra in the province of guadalajara , the badlands of bardenas reales in the navarre region , and castell de santa florentina in the town of canet de mar .
yeah , probably . anyway , badlands is a great movie and malick one of my favourite directors . if he had directed twice as many movies in his career and they were of the same quality as masterpieces badlands , days of heaven and the thin red line , he would have been the favourite director of mine probably .
terrence malick first began working on badlands in 1972 . when he was finished , before he began filming , did he ever let caril read the script ?
moroccan travel company lawrence of morocco has put together an infographic showing exactly where every set in the show in real life is based . magheramorne quarry in northern ireland stands in for castle black and hardhome , while the verdala palace grounds play the part of illyrio mopatis ' manse .
neither roush nor seroka like the characterization of them as single - issue candidates . both brought up crime as an important issue that they wish were a focal point of the campaign beyond the badlands .
previous references in the team fortress 2 storyline locate the badlands in the state of new mexico ; this map has features that correspond to features of north central new mexico , particularly the surroundings of the española basin and albuquerque basin of the rio grande rift valley .
' badlands ' was written and directed by terence malick and made an estimated $ 450 , 000 in box office sales following its 1973 release .
las vegas city councilman bob beers , a former state assemblyman who has represented ward 2 since 2012 , is being challenged by two first - time candidates — real estate developer christina roush and air force veteran steve seroka . while most incumbents at the municipal level find themselves easily outpacing their lesser - known opponents when it comes to donations and support , beers has found himself on the defensive for his role in the proposed development of the shuttered badlands golf course .
recently i had the opportunity to ask mr . mcarthur a few questions about fugate’s involvement with malick , her reception of badlands and her fondness for martin sheen’s performance .
seroka has taken issue with the city negotiating a 15 - year contract extension for republic services without seeking alternative options . and , in an election seemingly focused on the future of one high - profile piece of real estate , he points out that roush is also a developer .
badlands is a nature - inspired play space and interactive environment where children can take risks , succeed at challenging themselves , and find their own way .
“i know from working in commercial real estate that the first question people ask is ‘how are our schools ? ’ the answer shouldn’t be , ‘well , we have a lot of private schools . ’ that’s beyond means for most people , and even those schools are at capacity . ”
daenerys targaryen finally returned to the shores of westeros in season seven - dragonstone , to be precise - and the real - life location is remarkably easy to visit . that rocky beach seen so frequently in the show is called itzurun , and it lies beside a spanish seaside town called zumaia , in the province of guipúzcoa .

this issue of transformations follows from the making badlands conference held in december 2005 , and jointly hosted by transformations and the bundaberg media research group . the conference included an exhibition space along with the theme of the conference , and an online version of this exhibition was available on the transformations artspace site .
unfolding the repressed history of this space from the early days of white settlement , when the aboriginal population were shunted to this unwanted swampland , the paper examines the processes of change at work on this site over the past two centuries , as it has evolved from the periphery to the front line of the new docklands precinct . from tip site to shantytown during the depression , to wasteland , and now in the 21st century , to invaluable real estate , the historical and contemporary sense of dudley flats alters , as its identity swings from the otherness of destitution to the otherness of elitism .

audiences , however , stayed away . but if ever there was a lesson that box - office success is not synonymous with influence and longevity , badlands is it .
if you’re buying a ticket to the point break remake , it probably isn’t for the plot : ericson core’s rendition of the 1991 action classic is pure eye candy for fans of extreme sports and breathtaking views alike . filmed on four continents using pro athletes in place of stuntmen , the movie pits high - stakes stunts against the primal forces of nature . from the world’s tallest waterfall to a massive fissure in the alps , these are the real - life point break filming locations you can visit from the film .
i wouldn’t say that into the badlands is definitely a feminist show . certainly , it doesn’t have any particular feminist message that it’s trying to get across . however , it’s a show that cares about being inclusive and diverse . it cares about examining power structures and oppression , and it cares about having a real conversation about it . it’s not a show that pretends to have all the answers ; it’s a show that gives us a whole bunch of characters trying to figure things out , and it’s compelling as hell .

i just thought of a quote i would like to give you , because this sort of sums up my feelings about my involvement with the movie throughout my life . because of my knowledge of the true story , i’ve never been able to look at badlands objectively . as a result , i’ve never been able to really appreciate badlands the way other people do , but i do appreciate terry . and the reason i appreciate him is because he didn’t pretend that he was making the actual story into a movie . he made up a fictional one with his own vision , and removed the names of the real people from it . he did this out of a sense of responsibility , something that is sorely lacking in hollywood . i’ve always valued the fact that he believed that , since he wasn’t making the true story , it wouldn’t be right for him to pretend that it was the true story .
this handmade artist book was a collaboration between paul chan and calvin tomkins , and uses material from tomkin ' s 2012 badlands book marcel duchamp : the afternoon interviews in order to create a bra . . .
the conference was based around the concept of the “badlands” arising from ross gibson’s seven versions of an australian badlands ( uq press , 2002 ) which describes the central queensland region as haunted by a violent colonial past and fraught with troubling incidents that make it an australian badland . this conference addressed the concept of an australian badland — what it means to speak of a space as a badland , its relation to history , the imaginary , and to questions of regionality , representation , myth , archival authority , and the formation of narrative and discursive knowledge .
other maps published in the shadow boxers comic further confirmed that the badlands area is centrally based on the geography of north central new mexico ; these later maps show recognizable outlines of actual forests , preserves , reservations , highways , rivers , and lakes located in that part of the state .

the aesthetics of photography and painting are intertwined in my visual work to set up a tension for the viewer . the image is at once , framed and autonomous , yet like a trompe l’oeil portal , open to the projection of the viewer . the notion of a “badlands” in my image making is hauntingly implied by transient borders and undefined perspectives .
one of the best - known images of warfare , robert capa’s falling soldier , has also been contested . although no one knows whether it was faked , kamber has his doubts . “i believe the falling soldier photo is staged – i photographed combat for many years , and never photographed anyone at the moment of death – capa has two pictures on the same roll of film at the moment of death… i think the chances of that being real are astronomical . ”
the making badlands conference also examined how imaginary spaces are actively produced through technological , aesthetic , conceptual , visual , audio and other sensory engagements with the materiality of regional contexts , and sought to develop ways in which these may be contested through alternative practices of making that may lead to more progressive and empowering visions of regions . to this end , the conference also included an exhibition space where artists and artist practitioners engaged with these various senses of the badlands . the online version of this exhibition is produced here on the transformations artspace site .
there were other setbacks . all the cameras were destroyed during the filming of the morbidly beautiful sequence in which kit burns down holly ' s family home . by the end of the shoot , malick was $ 35 , 000 over budget , forcing him to take on more rewriting assignments before the picture could be edited . but he inspired loyalty among those who stayed the course and kept their sanity .

one part of the two stories that is consistent is that no pressure to delete the tweets came from above . in fact , deleting them could wind up being problematic if the nps didn ' t retain a record of the tweets , as they arguably now belong in the national archives . fortunately , someone has already created a witty badlands parody account to help fill the twitter void .

all of these papers pursue badlands as spaces of multiplicities , greater than , and hence excessive to , the centres found within them – sites of boundaries , margins , peripheries , and frontiers , with contingent and transversal relations to any ‘core’ centre . all centres are regional , and all regions have their centres . urban , suburban , inner and outer metropolitan , town and country , outback , bush , are all regions capable of both producing and resisting badlands as cultural imaginaries .
in the book pro bono : the 18 - year defense of caril fugate , her chief defender’s grandson , jeff mcarthur , details fugate’s trial and , in one chapter , details her involvement with the film badlands , a 1973 terrence malick film . sissy spacek played holly , a character loosely - based on fugate .
outside valentine became primarily the story of lowell bowman , an art dealer in new york city who lost his parents to starkweather one snowy nebraska winter , long ago . yet lowell proved the most difficult to pin down of the characters in the book ; in this way he is perhaps the most real . my father often writes things on scraps of paper , only to lose track of them in the giant fog that must come from existing in two places at once : he , like his fictional foil , always has one foot in another world .
“in years past , we assumed photos weren’t altered – now we wonder , ” says american former photojournalist michael kamber . “now you look at a photo and think ‘has that been photoshopped so much that it no longer represents the reality that i’m being presented with – is it an altered reality ? ’ we shouldn’t have to put a disclaimer on our photos to tell people that they’re real . ”

this paper investigates a peripheral space within the city of melbourne which until the 21st century escaped the jurisdiction of any melbourne authority . although geographically situated at the confluence of the maribyrnong and yarra rivers , and bordered by the main road to the west and the railroad ; neither the railways , the harbour trust , the mmbw , the city council , nor the crown lands dept . had responsibility for this land .

yes , into the badlands dropped 52 % of its 9 pm lead - in’s demo and 50 % of its viewership . however , that’s actually only 5 % more than better call saul ’s demo fall from its twd lead - in when the breaking bad prequel debuted on february 8 this year .
how do we know if what we’re looking at is real ? with the advent of smartphone apps , cgi and instagram , we’re increasingly seeing the world through a filter . when that filter is applied to soft - focus selfies and marauding dinosaurs , it’s arguably not such a problem . but what about an image of a news event : an act of war or a feat of bravery ? how can we know that hasn’t been tampered with ?
the film ' s dislocated emotional effect arises almost entirely from holly , whose blank - affect narration goes starkly against the grain . traditionally , a voiceover fills in the gaps for the audience , but badlands is defined by the contradiction between what we see and what we hear .
holly seems at times to think of her narration as like what you get in audio - visual courses in high school ,
explained malick .
when they ' re crossing the badlands , instead of telling us what ' s going on between kit and herself , she describes what they ate and what it tasted like , as though we might be planning a similar trip .

forever preserved in a state of precariousness , the mountain sculptures also manifest a suspension of time . this notion of temporality carries over to rondinone’s new series of sculptures , sun . composed of branches cast in aluminum and then gilded , the world’s oldest gauge of time is rendered static . as the exhibition’s poetic title indicates , this interior presentation of an exterior natural occurrence calls into question not only our conception of time’s passage , but also the ways in which society turns nature into artificial intervals . in the same breath , by fashioning abstracted solar forms from the branches of real - life trees , rondinone venerates the quotidian world as nothing short of extraordinary .
in fact , with a highly teased sneak peek at the season’s penultimate twd episode deep in its first half - hour , badlands is the fourth - best cable demo debut ever and the third amc series in that top four list . the top debut among 18 - 49s is the august 23 start of fear the walking dead ( 6 . 3 million ) , followed by better call saul ( 4 . 4 million ) , and then 2002’s usa’s the dead zone ( 4 . 034 million ) from the non - dvr past .
this unpaved , one - way , 2 . 7 - mile loop winding through sun - scorched badlands was used in 1983’s episode vi : return of the jedi to show r2 - d2 and c - 3po’s journey to jabba’s palace , and is easily accessible today off california’s route 190 .
when netflix and marvel ' s latest series iron fist premiered , there was a lot of excitement but also some controversy . some felt the lead—who is a magical , kung fu warrior—should have gone to someone of asian descent instead of english actor finn jones . hong kong - based american actor daniel wu , who also stars in the martial arts–based into the badlands series , weighed in on the issue .
wu ' s thoughts were perhaps best summed up when talking about why his into the badlands show was special ,
we ' re not going ' this is an asian american show ' —it ' s just a cool show , that just so happens to have an asian american lead .
everyone ' s been separated and blown apart , but it gives everyone a common path ,
he told us .
even though they ' re going through different things , they ' re all trying to focus on the one thing : trying to get back together . sunny is trying to get back to veil and the baby , as well as find m . k . m . k . is also looking for sunny . veil is also hoping that sunny appears somewhere . she doesn ' t know where he is , and he might be dead . then you have the issues with the barons and their story , and trying to control the badlands . so everyone is converging back into the badlands from last season .
that sort of lukewarm critical reception seemed to be rule of the day , with the national press giving director david dobkins ' pilot episode a passing grade - - though barely - - if not a full vote of confidence . on rotten tomatoes , the inaugural season of

had a score of 42 percent as of monday morning . at metacritic , it boasted a score of 54 / 100 .
in formations that immediately call to mind rock spire outcroppings , or “hoodoo , ” endemic to the badlands of north america , rondinone’s mountain sculptures consist of rocks vertically stacked on concrete plinths of varying sizes . austere in their reference to minimalist composition and titling , the artist mitigates severity in both the day - glo coloring of the boulders , as well as the deferential nod to the tradition of stone stacking , a practice seen from prehistoric dolmens to contemporary cairns . in these gestures , rondinone extends the specificity of art history to a universality gleaned from cult objects that exist worldwide . it is this ability to meld the romanticism of the individual into the transcendence of the metaphysical that ties together all works in the exhibition .

“we operated on him at least 16 times to remove the warts . the hands and feet are now almost fine . he will be discharged within the next 30 days after a couple of minor surgeries to perfect the shape of his hands , ” sen said .
a bangladeshi father dubbed the “tree man” because of the bark - like warts that once covered his body will soon be able to leave hospital after groundbreaking treatment for one of the world’s rarest diseases .
we are pleased to honor judy chicago here by showing some of her most recent work , hands made exclusively of glass ( along with related drawings ) , both cast and fused . for her , the hand conveys strong emotions and deeply held convictions—and we experience this intensity of feeling as we look at these hands below .
the gardener answered ,
last night a spirit came here . it had no hands and ate one of the pears with its mouth .
she stayed in this house for seven years , and was well taken care of . and through the grace of god and her own piety her chopped - off hands grew back .

after the success of the tv series the monoclad mutineer and the 1987 feature withnail and i , paul mcgann is hot . by comparison , british thrillers of recent years have had rather less fire in their bellies , and in tree of hands , mcgann finds himself trudging through another such offering from a ruth rendell novel - which is all plot and no pace .
building a fleet of 1 , 000 vessels in a short time would require tens of thousands of workers .
absence of marriage line or upward bending of it till it touches the base of little finger , indicates lifelong singlehood .
what can that be but my apple tree ?
thought the miller , said yes , and signed it over to the strange man .
there are those books that you read and enjoy and then forget . tree of hands has stayed with me for years . like all of rendell ' s books , it is uncomfortably dark and cynical . she never hesitates to lure readers to sympathize with miscreants and then punish the characters . her books are like tense drives on a dangerous mountain road .
bajandar initially thought the warts were harmless , but they eventually covered his hands and feet , forcing him to stop working .
so here i am , with 1 , 000 ships ,
euron grins ,
and two good hands .
during a party , everyone shook hands with everyone else . there were 66 handshakes . how many people were at the party ?
abul bajandar has undergone at least 16 operations to remove 5kg ( 11 pounds ) of growths from his hands and feet since his condition came to doctors’ attention a year ago .
after it was dark the king entered the garden , bringing a priest with him who was to talk to the spirit . all three sat down under the tree and kept watch . at midnight the girl came creeping out of the brush , stepped up to the tree , and again ate off a pear with her mouth . an angel dressed in white was standing next to her .
since then he has had 16 procedures to restore his hands , and will undergo a few more before he is released from the hospital .
father ,
she said ,
do with me what you will ,
stretched forth her hands , and let him chop them off .
just beyond your dreams lives a secret world . where every tree is a home . every sound is a song . and humans exist only in fairy tales . until now . . .
the miller was horrified and answered ,
how could i chop off my dear child ' s hands ? no , i will not do it .
thus he still could not approach her , and he spoke angrily to the miller ,
chop off her hands . otherwise i cannot get to her .
the king who owned this garden came the next morning . he counted the fruit and saw that one of the pears was missing . he asked the gardener what had happened to it . it was not lying under the tree , but had somehow disappeared .
the 27 - year - old former rickshaw driver is one of only four people in the world to be diagnosed with epidermodysplasia verruciformis , an extremely rare genetic condition dubbed “tree - man disease” that left him unable to hold his three - year - old daughter .
as you enter the theater , actors clad in neutral grey courteously greet you , lead you to a basin , and solemnly help you wash your hands . the splashing water provides the only sound in the hushed , neutral - colored space dominated by pale bluish greys — the better to contrast with the blood that will flow in shaking the tree theatre’s annual halloweenish horror show .
as i have stated elsewhere , i am a fan of rendell ' s books although i have to tread warily with them as they are often extremely unsettling in a way different from most psychological thrillers . i had read this book many years ago and another goodreads friend ( have forgotten who ) was mentioning rendell so i pulled this one off my shelf for a reread . at the moment , i think that tree of hands is one of her best . it has all the twists and turns one expects from her : multiple plotlines and disparate c
lal sen told cnn last february that bajandar first noticed the lesions when he was 10 . over time , the growths completely encompassed his hands , stealing his livelihood as a rickshaw driver and making him the subject of international news .
the miller was frightened and did what he was told . the next morning the devil returned , but she had wept into her hands , and they were entirely clean .
jermaine fowler and omari hardwick of sorry to bother you take us back in time to the worst jobs of their careers .
because the devil still could not approach her , he was very angry , and ordered the miller ,
chop off her hands , so i can get to her .
these are tentative figures , friel stressed , but they do give a sense of the scale of ecological disaster building 1 , 000 wooden ships in a short space of time would cause .
like many of o . henry ' s short stories , a surprise ending awaits readers of ' hearts and hands . ' the story is set on a train to denver . an elegantly attired woman named miss fairchild is seated on the train when two men arrive and take the seat facing her . it quickly becomes apparent that the woman knows one of the men .
the tireless threesome crosses the divide into the tree house village with a sheet - rope , a barrel , and some serious climbing skillz from the travster ( who still almost gets chomped to death by the zombie horde ) .
check out highlights from some of the best recent trailers including mandy , the predator , zoe , and the king of thieves .
( cnn ) the
tree man
is no longer . thanks to some groundbreaking surgeries , he can go back to being abul bajandar , a 27 - year - old father and husband from a small town in bangladesh .
the grimms ' primary source for the version of 1812 was marie hassenpflug ( 1788 - 1856 ) . the version of 1819 shows the influence of dorothea viehmann ( 1755 - 1815 ) and others .
oh , husband !
said the woman , terrified .
that was the devil . he didn ' t mean the apple tree , but our daughter , who was just then standing behind the mill sweeping the yard .
she answered ,
dear father , do with me what you will . i am your child ,
and with that she stretched forth both hands and let her father chop them off .
both of these are valid points that i can ' t really counter . there ' s no way of telling exactly how much time passes in the game of thrones world , and the acquisition of euron ' s 1 , 000 - strong fleet happens off - screen .
the miller was frightened and did what he was told . the next day the devil returned , but she had wept into her hands and washed herself with her tears , and was entirely clean .
even this doesn’t account for all the timber used , because hundreds of other pieces of wood were also used for the work , plus boards and other items bought readymade ,
he continued .
however , the 3 , 900 number gives a rough rule - of - thumb figure of just under three trees felled per ton of ship .
the magical inhabitants of a rainforest fight to save their home , which is threatened by logging and a polluting force of destruction called hexxus .
] our world was much larger then . the forest went on forever . we tree spirits nurtured the harmony of all living things , but our closest friends were humans . then , as sometimes happens , the balance of nature shifted . hexxus , the very spirit of destruction rose up from the bowels of the earth , and rained down his poison . the forest was nearly destroyed , many lives were lost and the humans fled in fear , never to return . most believe they did not survive . it was only . . .
nevertheless , as with any production involving the portland theater power trio of imaginative director samantha van der merwe , and irresistible actors beth thompson and matthew kerrigan , you should see head . hands . feet . — though not to be terrified , but to have your terrors cleansed .
speaking from his bed at the hospital , which has been treating him free of charge , bajandar said the pain of his condition had been unbearable .
he answered ,
it comes from an strange man whom i met in the woods and who promised me great treasures if i would but sign over to him that which stands behind the mill . we can give up the large apple tree for all this .
instead of showing her actual process of regaining her sense of self , though , this version portrays the maiden ( poignantly played by nikki weaver ) as entirely subject to the whims of the ( male ) devil and her father , only to be rescued first by some tree people and then the king , whom she immediately trusts despite having been misled by old nick that the king wants her mutilated or worse . here’s an instance where a tale ( whether in the original or in this recasting ) that strives to be pro - female winds up disempowering its title character . it’s hard to feel much satisfaction in the salvation of a passive protagonist .
he took her home with him to his royal castle , and because she was so beautiful and pure he loved her with all his heart , had silver hands made for her , and took her as his wife .
the man did that , after which he said to her ,
go to that thick tree over there and wrap your maimed arms around it three times !
and when she had done this , her hands grew back on . then he showed her a house .
you can live there ,
he said ,
but do not go outside , and do not open the door for anyone unless he asks three times to come in , for god ' s sake .
the gang wanders down the path for a while before stumbling upon another village . mary knows it was gabrielle ' s village , though it ' s also been overrun by zombies . while the rest of the gang escapes into the tree house part of the village ( zombies aside , shmoop wants to go there ) , mary and travis end up stuck in a big ol ' house together . alone . ah , shucks .

actually , the gore isn’t portrayed realistically but symbolically ; head . hands . feet . is by no means a fright fest . in fact , the first half consists of fairy tales , although anyone’s who’s read non - victorian - sanitized ancient tales knows how really , ah , grim and gory they can be .
and by cutting — dismembering — so many of iphigenia’s lines , the adaptation robs her of agency in her own fate , turning her into just one of a giggly gaggle of teenagers , a figure as passive as the handless maiden — another victim of paternal betrayal , another title character who’s less protagonist than subject , in another story ostensibly about a woman’s triumph that winds up being more about a man’s choices .
to save her ill son , a field mouse must seek the aid of a colony of rats , with whom she has a deeper link than she ever suspected .
the one which is deeper and darkest of all is your marriage line . if it is right in the middle of the base of little finger and your heart line , then it means the person will get married in his / her 25th year .
jones explained that during this period there were some examples of big fleets being gathered .
this frightened the father , and he promised to obey him . then he went to the girl and said ,
my child , if i do not chop off both of your hands , then the devil will take me away , and in my fear i have promised him to do this . help me in my need , and forgive me of the evil that i am going to do to you .
i did not come here to become queen ,
she said .
i have no luck , and i demand none . just tie my child and my hands onto my back , and i will set forth into the world .
she entered the garden , and the angel went with her . she saw a fruit tree with beautiful pears , but they had all been counted . she stepped up to the tree and ate from it with her mouth , enough to satisfy her hunger , but no more . the gardener saw it happen , but because the angel was standing by her he was afraid and thought that the girl was a spirit . he said nothing and did not dare to call out nor to speak to the spirit . after she had eaten the pear she was full , and she went and lay down in the brush .
for a tv movie , this one was very good . a woman ' s son dies and due to some awful circumstances , she ends up taking care of a little boy who looks alot like her dead son . i won ' t spoil the ending here , but the plot moves along at a nice pace and the film has a really nice ending . if you like drama , this is a nice one . i wish i could find the film on tape . lifetime cable channel has been known to rerun it from time to time , but the film has been renamed innocent victim for some unknown reason . i like the original title better . this film was based on the novel

she had the chopped - off hands tied to her back , and she set forth with the rising sun , walking the entire day until evening , when she came to the king ' s garden . there was a gap in the garden hedge . she went inside , found a fruit tree , shook it with her body until the apples fell to the ground , bent over and picked them up with her teeth , and ate them . thus she lived for two days , but on the third day the garden watchmen saw her , captured her , and threw her into prison .

he is one of the more persuasive roles in this uneven london - based psychological thriller which finds benet ( helen shaver ) coming to terms with the unexpected death of her child , and the ministrations of her manic - depressive mother ( lauren bacall in fine twitchy form ) . after the funeral , bacall impulsively snatches a toddler of the street and brings him back to benet as a palliative .
o . henry ' s ' hearts and hands ' is a story of mistaken identity involving miss fairchild , mr . easton , and the marshal who is escorting easton on a train to leavenworth for the crime of counterfeiting . the marshal misleads miss fairchild into believing that easton is the marshal , apparently in an effort to allay easton ' s embarrassment at meeting an old acquaintance while he is in shackles . one astute passenger realizes that easton is actually the prisoner , and the other man is the marshal . like many of o . henry ' s works , this touch of irony , or when writers portray an event or character in a surprising and unexpected way , completes the story .

the second devised tale , the brothers grimm’s “the handless maiden , ” also allows its repressed female victim to live happily ever after . a wandering parable about the devil’s deceit in a faustian bargain , it’s a metaphor for a child so abused by her father that she loses both her freedom ( hands ) and ability to trust . the story wants to show her finding a safe place where she can learn to trust again , and take her fate into her own hands . for his part , her king charming must sacrifice years and his kingly pleasures to find the “real” maiden .
' ' hearts and hands ' ' by o . henry is a story about two acquaintances who meet on a train . when mr . easton encounters miss fairchild , he is handcuffed to another man . one passenger on the train , however , realizes that things are not as they seem .
really well done ! two parallel plot lines , involving two separate sets of characters , that eventually intersect . also , rendell does that unsettling thing she ' s a master of - - making an everyday person , whom we might very well rub shoulders with , into a bit of a ' crazy . '
surprised and confused the first part of the story is rather a shocker . what follows is quite a jumble of characters and their odd deceitful behavior . i made it through to the end and was glad it was over . there are lots of great authors and books to be found . this one was a disappointment .

another fantastic and engrossing tale from the pen of ruth rendell / barbara vine . usually i think the vine titles are more satisfying , but this one was up there with them ! as usual from this author we get a collection of well drawn characters who are mostly quite strange , an unlikely but theoretically possible plot , lots of tension , and some ambiguities . i was gripped throughout . still don ' t understand who shot a couple of the characters though . . . .

that frightened the miller terribly , and driven by fear he promised to do what the devil had ordered . he went to his daughter and said ,
my child , the devil will take me if i don ' t chop off both your hands , and i have promised him that i will do it . i beg for your forgiveness .
2 ) we don ' t know that he actually built his fleet of 1 , 000 ships . theon and yara apparently only stole his
best ships
, after all , so he probably had a decent few left over . and being the ruthless , cut - throat type of guy that he is there ' s a chance some of his fleet may be stolen .

the thing is , he ' s not just boasting : we can see he does indeed have a ton of shiny new boats from the shot of them all sailing into king ' s landing . he even goes one step further and confirms the number itself .
yet in the same sense it was a little confusing , with a few seemingly unrelated plotlines coming together only at the end . at least one of these plotlines still seems out of place to me , like written in as an afterthought to bulk up the book .

a miller fell slowly but surely into poverty , until finally he had nothing more than his mill and a large apple tree which stood behind it . one day he had gone into the forest to gather wood , where he was approached by an old man , whom he had never seen before , and who said ,
why do you torment yourself with chopping wood ? i will make you rich if you will promise me that which is standing behind your mill .
i did a bit of digging and spoke to some historians and ship - building experts to find out if it ' s actually possible .
okay , so that ' s the first figure to keep in mind : 15 months to build one of euron ' s biggest ships .

if van der merwe had added a couple more such folk tales and skipped the intermission , head . hands . feet . might have made a more cohesive production . instead , after we returned from the scrumptious cake and wine at intermission , everything changes : the tone , storytelling style , even the kind of source material . the shift from airy fairy tale atmosphere to weightier , conventionally staged greek drama , with dialogue replacing narration , makes for a longer , heavier night than you might expect from the first half or stt’s previous halloween shows .
historians don ' t know the total number of trees felled to build the 500 - ton trinity royal , friel explained , but they do know it took 3 , 900 trees to build the 1 , 400 - ton grace dieu — the largest of henry v ' s fleet .
the third and most powerful segment , by contrast , shows how to effectively update an ancient tale with modern values by transforming the classic version of h . c . anderson’s “the red shoes” from a warning about a girl’s vanity , addiction and compulsion into a critique of social repression . the sight of the girl’s gaudy footwear causes a conservative , judgmental fundamentalist southern congregation to confront their own hidden , socially disapproved desires , with predictable consequences .
after a year the king had to go out into the battlefield , and he left the young queen in the care of his mother , saying ,

this is unquestionably one of rendell ' s most disturbing novels . . . it took years before i could bring myself to re - read it .

my sense is that game of thrones is set in a quasi medieval world with technology and a social structure that ' s roughly what you ' d find in 13th / 14th century europe ,

a family of emigre mice decide to move out to the west , unaware that they are falling into a trap perpetrated by a smooth talking cat .
i got over 100 pages into the book , but i just couldn ' t finish it - - the only two characters i had feeling for were both in a mess of trouble , there wasn ' t even a murder yet (
just
a kidnapping - - not really a spoiler alert since it ' s on the back cover - - for which one of those two characters either was being blamed or was going to be blamed ) , and the tension of worrying about the unjust suspicions , the element of mental illness , and worrying whether one of the two characters i liked was either going to murder or going to be murdered , was too much for me . this is by no means to say that the book was ill - written ; i have enjoyed reading rendell ' s books before . it is merely that this type of suspense provokes sick anxiety in me , rather than anticipation . i hope whomever i pass it along to gets more out of it . but at least i was able to provide a cover image for this edition !
if your marriage line begins from the mount of mercury , heads upwards crossing fate line and life line , it indicates marriage to wicked or characterless person .
i listened to this over a couple of evenings and it certainly kept me up and awake . this is almost perfect rendell , bearing the trademark of her best tales - a braided plot that pulls together disparate characters and classes , clever misdirection , and deep and violent emotions . constantly surprising and psychologically acute , this was both very easy to be gripped by , but also full of interesting observations made on raw life as lived in gritty , realistic london . marvellous .
on this basis , a total of 250 , 000 hectares of forest would be needed to build the 1 , 000 - ship fleet , or 2 , 500 sq km . that’s equivalent to 139 epping forests or a wood that is one - and - a - half times bigger than greater london .
that certainly rings true of today’s endless wars , maybe all wars . and plenty of modern day adaptations of classics purposely present a more enlightened , or at least more contemporary twist on old stories . but if you’re going to update an ancient tale to make a more modern point , you still have to do it in a way that’s emotionally truthful . and this interpretation so contradicts the events of the ancient tale that it rings false . its portrayal of clytemnestra as devoted and loving wife , shocked that her husband would consider killing his daughter , runs completely counter to the feelings a woman would have for the brute who had earlier murdered her mate , ripped her just - born child from her breast , dashed its brains out on the ground , and forced her into a non consensual marriage .
excellent , as ruth always is ! the strange and tortured psychology of ordinary people , told in an extraordinary way . i wish i could write like her .

the thing is , not every ship in the fleet is going to be 500 tons . there are variety of sizes needed to perform different tasks — fighting , reconnaissance , storage , patrolling , etc . — and friel explained the average weight of a ship in henry v ' s fleet was probably more like 250 tons .
white knights are superior to black knights . 2 white knights can handle 3 black knights . how many knights do we need for an army of 981 black knights ?
the action of the play begins with dionysus ' s return to thebes years later . he arrives in town disguised as the stranger , accompanied by a band of bacchants , to punish the family for their treatment of his mother and their refusal to offer him sacrifices . during dionysus ' s absence , semele ' s father , cadmus , had handed the kingdom over to his proud grandson pentheus . it was pentheus ' s decision to not allow the worship of dionysus in thebes . dionysus tells the audience that when he arrived in thebes he drove semele ' s sisters mad , and they fled to mt . cithaeron to worship him and perform his rites on the mountainside .
i love books that have multiple plot lines that throw you for a loop until they are all nicely tied together . this is one of those books . it is dark and disturbing and definitely shows the not so nice side of people . it doesn ' t have the happy ending , so if you are looking for that look elsewhere .
every time i finish a ruth rendell book , i swear i ' m not going to read another . her villains really get under my skin and take up residence in my mind . then one of my subscription services offered a few of her titles at a low price , and i found myself seduced into buying them . i ' m glad i did because i found out that that they aren ' t all straightforward murder mysteries , but they all show her wonderful ability to craft unforgettable characters . chief among them is a woman whose young son dies in hospital . her mad mother kidnaps a replacement child , and the woman cannot force herself to return him . the second character is the boyfriend of the missing child ' s mother , who is suspected of killing him . third is a former boyfriend of the child ' s mother , who is planning his greatest theft and getaway . by the end of the book , rendell has wrapped up all three of the stories in this most intricately plotted ending that is still satisfying . now that i realize that ms rendell can write a book without unbalanced killers , i am more willing to take a chance on her . especially at $ 1 . 99 each .
but still . given the figures above , euron ' s
build me a thousand ships
speech starts to look more and more ridiculous . at a push it might be believable to say a couple of years have passed between seasons 6 and 7 ( enough time to allow for the 15 - month ship building period + time for euron to stock up and sail to king ' s landing ) , and i guess it ' s feasible that he could have forced tens of thousands of people to build for him .
this a strange rendell book . it also is perhaps , the most emotionally driven in terms of plot . while rendell , especially when she writes under the barbara vine tend to be mysteries of the psyche , this book is more about psyche and emotion . it is also in some ways , the one where you root for what in other cases would be a villain simply because that character really isn’t bad . at the very least , rendell makes you consider the meaning of the terms bad and good . crossposted at booklikes .
edna o’brien’s adaptation , written during yet another war in the middle east , turns turns a play about noble self sacrifice into an anti war tragedy about patriarchal society valorizing dreams of martial glory above the true love of wife and family . agamemnon prioritizes his brother’s pride and family’s wounded honor over his own daughter’s life . her sacrifice is the wrong choice .
then she had her mutilated arms tied to her back , and at sunrise she set forth , walking the entire day until it was night . she came to a royal garden , and by the light of the moon she saw that inside there were trees full of beautiful fruit . but she could not get inside , for there it was surrounded by water .
the ship that you cite [ the one seen leading euron ' s procession in season 7 , episode 1 ] looks to combine aspects of vessels dating between the 1300s and 1500s , with some elements that are purely imaginary ,
friel explained .
at a very rough guess , in medieval english terms it would be a vessel of about 500 tons .
dionysus , the god of wine , prophecy , religious ecstasy , and fertility , returns to his birthplace in thebes in order to clear his mother ' s name and to punish the insolent city state for refusing to allow people to worship him . the background to his return is presented in the prologue , in which dionysus tells the story of his mother , semele , once a princess in the royal theban house of cadmus . she had an affair with zeus , the king of the gods , and became pregnant . as revenge , zeus ' s jealous wife hera tricked semele into asking zeus to appear in his divine form . zeus , too powerful for a mortal to behold , emerged from the sky as a bolt of lightning and burnt semele to a cinder . he managed , however , to rescue his unborn son dionysus and stitched the baby into his thigh . semele ' s family claimed that she had been struck by lightning for lying about zeus and that her child , the product of an illicit human affair , had died with her , maligning her name and rejecting the young god dionysus .

i was really looking forward to reading this , as flipping through the first few pages i was happy to see skillful , unique writing . but ultimately it was far too stressful for me . i cannot conceive of benet not going to the police after discovering jason was kidnapped . ( and honestly , what is jason going to do about adulthood when he doesn ' t even have a birth certificate ) ? it was too much for me . i ' ll read more of ruth rendell , however , as she seems to be on top of her game .
