Kudos go to first-time director (now Lord) Richard Attenborough, and a stellar cast that was essentially the British Pantheon, circa 1969. ![]() Strangelove" caliber, but it's a musical, using the patriotic tunes of the day with the sarcastic alternate lyrics that the troops themselves created. I can't think of another film that has so artfully blended satire, farce, tragedy and history. Not only as an anti-World War I piece, but as a powerful critique of the British class structure and the amoral diplomats and generals who sent millions, nearly a generation, to early graves. (Later, after swearing off the film industry, he got his revenge with his novel "Close-up.") Whatever "corporate changes" (in the sense of group-think) were made to his script, it still works. Apparently, it also was Len who had the brainstorm to set the fantasy sections at Brighton, which worked brilliantly! Inexplicably, he asked for his name to be removed from the writing and producing credits. Though based on the Joan Littlewood stage play (itself derived from a Charles Chilton radio piece), the film has the creativity, visual sense and sardonic wit of Len Deighton throughout. ![]() 5/21/2023 0 Comments Idol by Kristen Callihan![]() ![]() Idol enhances that theme and it’s a nice variation.

I’ve got to find a way to coax the hermit from her shell and keep her with me. The world is clamoring for me to get back on stage, but I’m not willing to leave her. When I get my hands on her, she is scorching hot and more addictive than all the fans who’ve screamed my name. She’s grouchy, a recluse -and kind of cute. It all fell apart with one fateful decision. How do you keep an idol when everyone is intent on taking him away?Īs lead singer for the biggest rock band in the world, I lived a life of dreams. Problem is, the world thinks he’s theirs. ![]() Sexy, charming, and just a little bit dirty, he’s slowly wearing me down, making me crave more. With the face of a god and the arrogance to match, the pest won’t leave. I found Killian drunk and sprawled out on my lawn like some lost prince. ![]() 5/21/2023 0 Comments Price of britannica encyclopedia![]() ![]() This is Britannica’s main claim to accuracy-it invites experts to write its entries, and then its small army of fact-checkers and editors make sure that everything is correct. Current, a historian who’s written several books about Lincoln (a fact I learned on Wikipedia Britannica offers only a two-line bio of Current). ![]() Britannica’s piece is written by Richard N. To see what I mean, let’s go back to that Lincoln entry. But even if it were true that Britannica is substantially more accurate than Wikipedia, why do you want your kids to learn in a cloistered ecosystem that’s separate from the rest of the media? In today’s news environment, you can’t blindly trust anything you see-you have to question everything for yourself. ![]() This is a dubious argument a study published in Nature in 2005 found that both Wikipedia and Britannica were good references, with each getting a similarly small number of facts wrong. ![]() 5/21/2023 0 Comments A change in tide freya barker![]() ![]() ![]() Recipient of the ReadFREE.ly 2019 Best Book We've Read All Year Award for "Covering Ollie, the 2015 RomCon “Reader’s Choice” Award for Best First Book, “Slim To None”, and Finalist for the 2017 Kindle Book Award with “From Dust”, Freya continues to add to her rapidly growing collection of published novels as she spins story after story with an endless supply of bruised and dented characters, vying for attention!
