Our guest is a five-time Oscar nominee for Best Costumes—most recently for Killers of the Flower Moon, although she is equally lauded for her work on Dune, parts 1 and 2. Her background in the fashion world, and as an art history major, gives her unique credentials for someone who provides costumes for movies. She also has world-class stories to share about her collaborations with such major directors as Philip Kaufman, Terence Malick, and David Fincher. Leonard and Jessie had a blast mining that treasure chest of memories and observations. The making of The Revenant could fill a one-hour podcast all by itself!
沙的起伏液體的流動、大面積黑白巨物景觀、神秘的水墨煙火炸裂、滿屏沙漠光影氛圍變幻、姐妹會女神曖昧疏遠的天鵝絨長袍、刺繡羅紗頭巾下隱約露出的神秘面紋……在《沙丘2》隆隆的聲效中，世界觀再次緩緩打開。《沙丘2》繼續由五拿奧斯卡提名的服裝設計師Jacqueline West操盤，設計了超過1000套戲服。 除了飾演銀河中心的女神們個個盤靚條順，精緻的服飾本身也訴說著故事、歷史、神秘主義、心理、哲學、革命、詩......層次豐富，所有細節的雕琢都在 導演Denis Villeneuve沉穩克製而充滿詩意的鏡頭下一覽無遺。完完全全屬於戲院的那種電影，今天秋千來回顧這部中古世紀電影的服飾細節。#01：契妮 Zendaya雖然Zendaya所飾演的契妮是《沙丘》女主角之一，但由於劇情安排她的角色在第一部裡沒有展開，結尾角色才算是在故事裡正式登場，在《沙丘2》中與男主角 甜茶保羅正式展開戀情。《沙丘2》裡，契尼一直處於戰鬥狀態中，不僅是身為一個戰士，她的內心也經歷著情緒起伏和思想鬥爭。 契妮成功地將女性解放的典範搬上大銀幕，倔強，不依賴任何人，不會被一個集體潛意識的過去現在未來心靈所操控。對保羅的愛全心全意，甚至可以為愛付出生命，但最後毅然離開的她，才是當代精神的象徵。相較之下姊妹會，契妮在電影中的服裝並不靚眼，主要都是功能性服裝，盔甲、紗羅鬥蓬、蒸餾服。卡其色的紗羅鬥蓬與披風，在沙漠中不但有保護色的作用，紗羅飄動的方式和沙很像，飄逸又流暢的線條，也給人一種堅韌而浪漫的感覺。蒸餾釜擁有各種在沙漠中生存需求的基能，護目鏡、過濾嘴、水管、口袋、溫度調節器，來巧妙的將人體排出的水分華為維繫生命的可飲用水。不過，到了電影的巡迴首映禮時，紅毯女王Zendaya的造型就開始衝擊炸裂起來！ Zendaya與造型師Law Roach不段突破自我，多元風格自由切換，一展大女主角氣場撐起各場活動。#02：傑西卡夫人 Rebecca Ferguson要說最美的女神，Rebecca Ferguson飾演的潔西卡夫人必須有個名字。她透澈的眼瞳彷彿能洞悉所有，高揚的頸背顯示著人物的從容不迫，給人一種武力和智力都拉滿的氣勢。 就算臉上畫滿符咒，也依舊美得令人驚心動魄。在這部作品中，設計師West將裝扮的重點繼續放在Bene Gesserit “班尼神秘姊妹會”，她們掌握著生育的權力，也擁有為人類啟蒙的智慧，並通過影響而不是支配來實現領導 。整個團體都穿著飄逸的“黑暗聖女風”，用大量的刺繡和精緻的頭冠面紗來凸顯她們崇高的地位和神秘的宗教色彩。傑西卡夫人和聖母凱斯海倫是這個團體的代表。 #03：伊如蘭公主 Florence Pugh《沙丘2》裡，Florence演是伊如蘭公主。 這個角色在原著小說中，被視為這則故事實際上的敘述者。 而她與保羅之間的三角關係，也同樣為所有人的命運帶來重要影響。真正讓人眼前一亮的是公主的盔甲造型，作為影片中最理性的人，她擯棄華麗的頭飾，而是向她的姊妹會血統致敬。伊魯蘭公主經常戴著金屬質感的盔甲小頭飾。#04：瑪戈夫人 Léa SeydouxLéaSeydoux可說是近年來最受歡迎的文青女神之一，像是《午夜．巴黎》《藍色是最溫暖的顏色》《法蘭西特派週報》等片，均為她虜獲了不少 影迷。她又以《沙丘：第二部》朝科幻領域再下一城，飾演了神秘的姊妹會中的重要成員瑪戈夫人。 Seydoux穿著奢華的天鵝絨、寶石色淑女套裙，非常優雅，也同樣體現出修女裝的輪廓，這套的服裝的靈感來自一件Balenciaga的舊衣服，整體廓形簡潔，卻也豐富有質感，體現出 神秘濃厚的宗教風格。#05：保羅妹妹 Anya Taylor-Joy因為《後翼棄兵》Taylor-Joy收服了不少影迷，雖然她在《沙丘2》的演出算是客串性質（主角保羅的妹妹），卻擁有強大的特殊力量，一直在母胎中操盤實局，只有在保羅遇見未來部分才錄臉，從原著的各種角度看，在將來的第三集中，她絕對佔有無與倫比的重要地位。Taylor-Joy在電影倫敦的巡迴驚喜現身，造型驚艷全場：一身DIOR 1996春夏特別定制，以聖女為靈感，百褶長裙搭配套頭白紗，緊貼電影裡姐妹會成員的角色形象，充滿 神性莊嚴不可侵犯。..完整文稿內容同時發佈在微信公眾號：秋千swing歡迎來加我哦！

Host Sam Clements speaks to costume designer Jacqueline West and Osage wardrobe consultant Julie O'Keefe about working on the new film by Martin Scorsese, Killers Of The Flower Moon, in cinemas now. At the turn of the 20th century, oil brought a fortune to the Osage Nation, who became some of the richest people in the world overnight. The wealth of these Native Americans immediately attracted white interlopers, who manipulated, extorted, and stole as much Osage money as they could before resorting to murder. Based on a true story and told through the improbable romance of Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Mollie Kyle (Lily Gladstone), “Killers of the Flower Moon” is an epic western crime saga, where real love crosses paths with unspeakable betrayal. Also starring Robert De Niro and Jesse Plemons, “Killers of the Flower Moon” is directed by Academy Award winner Martin Scorsese from a screenplay by Eric Roth and Martin Scorsese, based on David Grann's best-selling book.

On Mar 28, 2023, the trial of Trezell and Jacqueline West began. The couple stands accused of killing two of their adopted sons, Orrin, and Orson West, who were four and three at the time. According to the parents, the boys went missing from their California City, California backyard on December 21, 2020. The prosecution contends that the brothers had already been dead for months before that 911 call was made.Over the course of several weeks, the prosecution laid out its case which, absent the boys' bodies or other physical evidence, hinges on a star witness: Trezell and Jacqueline's 12-year-old son.

On December 21, 2020, Trezell and Jacqueline West called 911 and reported their two adopted sons, Orrin and Orson, missing. According to the Wests, the 4- and 3-year-old boys had been playing in the family's fenced-in yard while Trezell had gathered wood. On one of his trips back, he noticed they were gone. An intensive search immediately commenced, but there was no sign of the boys.As the public began to hear the story's details, many concluded that Jacqueline and Trezell's account simply didn't make any sense. Police also quickly added the parents to the top of their suspect list. Searches continued but with no luck. Then, on March 1, 2022, Jacqueline and Trezell West were arrested for murder. Their trial is currently underway, despite the fact that the bodies of Orrin and Orson have yet to be found.Buy the ebook! - And Then They Were Gone: True Stories of Those Who Went Missing and Never Came HomeSubmit a caseFind us everywhereGet episodes early and ad-free on PatreonMerch storeFor a full list of our sources, please visit our blogThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5360779/advertisement

On a chilly night in December of 2020, California City residents Trezell and Jacqueline West reported to authorities that their adoptive toddler sons Orson and Orinn had gone missing. That call kicked off a massive search for the two boys. Were they lost, kidnapped or worse? 2 years later authorities in nearby Bakersfield, California think they know exactly what happened to the boys and have charged the parents with their murders. Court TV's Chanley Painter joins host Vinnie Politan to discuss this tragic story and the shocking details that can be gleaned from the charging documents.

Orrin and Orson West had a sad start to life. They were removed from their care of their biological mother when they were tiny and were placed in the care of their adoptive parents, Trezell and Jacqueline West. The boys lived with four other siblings in California. In December 2020, their ‘father' Trezell claims they went outside to play and were never seen again. The local community in California searched alongside the police for months and months. Jacqueline and Trezell had their other children placed into care, allegedly because of ‘threats' made by the public. Police interviewed neighbors who said they had never actually seen Orrin and Orson in the area. How could two little boys vanish, possibly months before they were reported missing? This case seemed like it may be turning cold. Until March 2022, when Trezell and Jacqueline were each arrested on counts of second-degree murder, willful cruelty to a child and false reporting of an emergency. Police have now said that Orrin and Orson were murdered by the people who were meant to care for them most, months before the search for them began. The boys still remain missing.

4-year-old Orrin and 3-year-old Orson West were reported missing on December 21, 2020 by their adoptive parents, Trezell and Jacqueline West. Trezell told police that the boys wandered out of their California City, California backyard while he was gathering firewood. Multiple searches were performed, but no trace of the boys were found. As authorities dug deeper, questions began to arise as to whether or not the boys had ever even set foot in California City at all. Now, over a year after they were last seen, Trezell and Jacqueline have been arrested for their murders. In this episode, we talk about the arrest, go over the indictment and discuss what we've learned so far.

Intro Hi and Welcome to Books Between - a podcast to help teachers, parents, and librarians connect kids between 8-12 to books they’ll love. I’m your host, Corrina Allen - a 5th grade teacher, a mom of two girls, and super excited about my Hermione Granger Halloween costume this year! This is Episode #9 and today we’re talking about common classroom library mistakes (and how to fix them), three spooky series, and I’ll answer a question about read aloud options for a 4th grade class. Main Topic - Common Classroom Library Mistakes (And How to Fix Them) - Part 1 It’s pretty clear just how important it is to have a library within your classroom. In fact, our main focus of Episode #2 was all about why your students need that vibrant classroom library. But I will admit that I’ve made some major mistakes that really limited how effective my classroom could be. In fact - when I went to go list them all, it ended being too much for one episode. So this one will be a two-parter. And if you are a librarian or parent listening today, there’s still a lot you can take away from today’s topic when thinking about your books and other materials you have for your kids. So here are six common mistakes that teachers sometimes make with their classroom libraries - and some ideas on how to fix them. #1 - Not getting rid of old books. This took me so long to learn. It literally still PAINS me to even think about just throwing away a book. But about a year ago, I started to notice that copies of old, yellowed, dusty titles with ripped pages and outdated cover art were taking up a lot of precious real estate in my class. And for no reason - they were NEVER getting checked out. They just didn’t have any curb appeal. And they were bringing down the overall vibe of our library. So give yourself permission to purge. Finally just last year I let myself take the 12 tattered copies of The Voyages of Dr. Doolittle and those other musty old books and box them up and put them away. And I truly felt guilty about that. Some were donations from parents or other teachers. It’s okay to recycle them. #2 - Not having an easy check-out system. I’ve tried just about every system on the block - from a simple form on a clipboard for name, date and title to using the Booksource App where students scan the barcode on the book to check out and then check it in. But eventually I found that even the seemingly quick and simple act of writing down their name and the title of the book was slowing down that free exchange of books and had the unintended effect of kids not wanting to check books out of the library because it was too cumbersome. Also - it added a small element of tension when kids would forget to sign a book back in or keep it out too long. And I want the tone of our library to be all positive. I do know that many teachers are having success with quick procedures and systems to check out books. I just have never been able to make it work. So as much as I would love a beautifully ordered library where I know the whereabouts of every title - it’s more important to me that kids can swap books easily with each other and there’s no barrier to trying something. For example, just yesterday I pulled a stack of 5 books that Logan might like, set them on his desk, and he was free to browse them leisurely and bring one or two home to read. Do I have books Missing in Action? Yeah - you bet! But I’m willing to risk it so my students have more access to books. And they also really appreciate being trusted in that way. #3 - Not changing how books are displayed So for example, for months I had my bins of Realistic Fiction front and center in my classroom library. They were top shelf - most visible and most checked out. While my biographies and historical fiction languished on the bottom shelf. And I didn’t even think anything of it until I switched them on a whim one afternoon and noticed that - a ha! - more kids were taking out the biographies and historical fiction when they didn’t have to bend over to get them. Also - if you have your library organized by bins - another idea is to switch which title is in the front sometimes. #4 - Not having enough non-fiction I have to say - this has been a major error on my part, and I’m still working on fixing it. I tend love the story - a heartfelt narrative. And I didn’t intend to ignore non-fiction, I just had blinders on. But I’ve been hearing from a lot of other teachers who are in the same boat. So - I’ve made a conscious effort to get more informational books for my students and listen for topics they are interested in. The more I started to pay attention to non-fiction, the more I realized how many fantastic titles are out there now. And I made a deal with myself that I would get at least one non-fiction title every time I bought books. #5 - Not Having a Clear Organizational System It’s tough to keep a classroom library organized - our days are hectic, and it’s all you can do sometimes to keep up with everything. But having some system in place is really key. Whether you alphabetize by author’s last name, sort by genre, or pick a different route - make sure your students know where to find things and also how to put them back. Another fantastic idea that I’ve seen is to get your students’ input about how to organize the classroom library and have them in charge of it. If you do that at the beginning of the year, what an amazing way to have them examine every book offered and take some ownership of it. #6 - Not having student input into what books are included in the library. When I first got my own classroom, I could not wait to stock it full of my own favorites from my childhood - Nancy Drew and Trixie Belden mysteries, all the Little House books, my extensive (and yellowed) collection of Baby-Sitters Club novels, and tons of Judy Blume and Beverly Cleary books. But honestly, the 6th graders I had at the time rarely checked them out. Instead - have your students help you. One thing I’ve seen teachers do is post a Wishlist on the wall next to your bookshelves so when students have an idea of a title you should have, they just jot it down. Then you can take that list with you when you’re headed to your local bookstore or submitting your Scholastic order, and you KNOW you’re getting books they want to read. It also helps to simply listen when they rave about a favorite series or author so you can include those as you build your library. Making sure that the student’s choices are at the forefront really drives home the fact that this library is THEIRS - not all about you. And I think they’re more likely to get attached to that library when they know their voices are heard and their opinion matters. This is a big topic and we’ll continue it in the next episode. But for now, what classroom library mistakes have you made and more importantly - how did you go about fixing them? Let’s connect and learn from each other. You can tag me on Twitter or Instagram or email me at booksbetween@gmail.com and I’ll share some of your thoughts and ideas in an upcoming episode! Book Talk - Three Spooky Series In this segment, I share with you three books centered around a theme and discuss three things to love about each book. This week I’m sharing three delightfully spooky series: The Haunted Library, 43 Old Cemetery Road, and The Books of Elsewhere. The Haunted Library The first book we’re talking about today is The Haunted Library by Dori Hillestad Butler. It’s about a young ghost named Kaz who finds himself separated from his ghost family when the old schoolhouse they were living in is demolished and they are all carried off in different directions by the wind. Kaz ends up in a library where he meets a girl named Claire - unique because she can see ghosts and hear them when they talk. Among his problems, Kaz doesn’t like to pass through objects or walls like other ghosts so his movements are limited. And Kaz is very afraid of Claire and all the non-ghost humans he encounters. At least at first. Eventually Claire and Kaz do team up to figure out the identify of the ghost who is haunting the library. So here are three things to love about Dori Butler’s The Haunted Library: Fun Glossary - At the front of the book is a one page list of really cute ghostly terms used in the novel. Again - this is a cute spooky and not a scary spooky book. For example, “skizzy” is when a ghost feels sick to their stomach - like when people walk through Kaz. At one point he even pukes on Claire! And “Solids” are what ghosts call living humans and animals and also objects they can’t see through. Illustrations - There are lots of black and white drawings throughout the book, and I love that vintage 50’s style that Aurore Damant has captured here. It fits the tone perfectly. Plus the little details of the dotted scrolls around each page number and the matching chapter headings add that special touch of ornamentation that makes you feel like you are reading something well put-together. The fun of figuring out the rules of the supernatural system in this series. That is part of what I think makes fantasy so fun to read because you have to figure out that world. Just like when I start a new vampire book and I ask myself, Okay - are these sparkle in the sun Twilight-type vampires or are they sizzle in the sun Sookie Stackhouse-type vampires? Or something entirely different? In The Haunted Library, we’re asking ourselves - Can the ghosts eat? Do they sleep? Can they make sounds that humans can hear? And most interestingly here - where do they come from? Typically, ghosts are presented as the souls of once living people, but in this world, they seem to have no memory of a past life and they have families with kids and grandparents. Almost like they are from another parallel dimension. There is SO much to explore in this series and so much get your kids wondering. The Haunted Library is really cute and not too scary. At 125 pages with larger print, it’s perfect for younger middle grade readers or older kids who want something light and playful. And there are at least 8 in the series so there’s plenty of semi-spooky fun to look forward to. 43 Old Cemetery Road Another fun and spooky series is 43 Old Cemetery Road by Kate Klise with illustrations by M. Sarah Klise, her sister. The first book in the series, Dying to Meet You, is the story of a formerly-famous children’s book author, Ignatius B. Grumply, who rents an old run down Victorian house on Cemetery Road. He thinks he’s getting a quiet place to write his latest overdue novel so his publisher will get off his back and he can get out of debt. Instead, he discovers that he is sharing the house with a ghost (he doesn’t believe in ghosts), a young boy (he hates kids), and a cat (he’s allergic to cats). And there begins the conflicts and hilarity. This series had some of my most devoted fans last year. And with good reason. Here are three reasons my students and I loved about this book and this series: Character’s Names - The wordplay in these books are oh-so-clever - especially with the names of the characters. Grumply’s publisher is called Paige Turner, his real estate agent is Anita Sale, the young boy living in the house is Seymour Hope, and the ghost is Olive C. Spence. It’s just a really fun read. How letters and articles tell the story - The 43 Old Cemetery Road series is the perfect way to introduce your kid to the term “epistolary novel.” And boy do they get it right here. The letters from each character have their own clear tone and their own individual font. Your kids will love the articles and drawings that go with the letters and it’s a book that you can read quickly. The authors - Kate & Sarah Klise are sisters and have teamed up to write an impressive number of really fun books like The Three-Ring Rascals series and the Regarding series, which are also mysteries told in letter form. My students really got into exploring their website and blog last year where they share letters they get from fans and pictures from their travels. I just LOVE them - and they make such a great team. If you want to know more about the 43 Old Cemetery Road books, take a peek at their website kateandsarahklise.com. And I’ll pop a link to that right in the shownotes for you. The Books Of Elsewhere Our last featured spooky series this week is The Books of Elsewhere by Jacqueline West. The first book, The Shadows, is about an eleven-year-old girl named Olive who has recently moved into a spectacularly creepy house. When the previous owner, Mrs. McMartin, died without heirs, everything was left behind - including books, clothes, and dozens of mysterious paintings that will not budge from the walls. Olive’s parents, both genius Math scholars, are a little distracted and Olive has the run of house. So she sets off to explore every nook and cranny and eventually notices that there are windows on the outside that don’t match the rooms on the inside. When she finds an antique pair of spectacles, she realizes that she can go into any painting in the house. And the story gets deliciously dark from there… So on to three things to love about The Books of Elsewhere: The Cats - Like any great paranormal mystery, there are strange cats in this novel. In fact, I just realized that all the three books I’ve talked about today have cats in them. In this book - we get three: Horatio, Harvey, and Leopold. Olive first discovers that something is magical in this house when Horatio jumps through her bedroom window and has a conversation with her about being on her guard in the house. What I enjoyed the most about the cats were that you couldn’t tell whose side they were on. Morton - Morton is a young boy who Olive discovers hiding in one of the creepiest, darkest paintings in the house - the one big painting of the moonlight and dark forest. Morton is dressed in an old-fashioned white nightshirt and when Olives tries to ask him questions, he’s both confused and stubborn all at the same time. Eventually we piece together the clues about where (and when) he might have come from, and oh - poor Morton! The House - Much like Jason Segel and Kristin Miller’s book Nightmares and Clive Barker’s The Thief of Always, the house in this book seems to have its own personality. It’s beyond haunted and seems to try to lure Olive into its grasp. Like many old Victorian houses, this one has a terrifying basement. And a chilling secret. The Haunted Library, 43 Old Cemetery Road, and The Books of Elsewhere are three great paranormal series for getting into the perfect creepy mood - whether that’s in October or anytime of year. Q & A Our last segment this week is Question & Answer time. Question: Within the span of a week, I had two friends ask essentially the same question: “What are some great and engaging read-alouds for 4th graders?” Answer: I have three suggestions. (If you haven’t noticed, I kinda like the number three….) Suggestion #1 - Deborah and James Howe’s Bunnicula I am reading this out loud right now to my own 4th grader, and it has really held up well from my own memory of it. And I had totally forgotten that cool editor’s note at the beginning that says the manuscript was dropped off by a dog who claims to be the author. So now you have to wonder - is this dog really a reliable narrator or does he have his own agenda? Suggestion #2 - Phil Bildner’s A Whole New Ballgame I’ve talked about the Rip & Red series previously in Episode #4 but it is worth another plug. This book is fast-paced fun with likeable characters going through real-life school related stuff. I have no doubt 4th graders would love it. My third suggestion that would be a phenomenal 4th grade read aloud is Peter Brown’s The Wild Robot - It’s about a shipwrecked robot named Roz who gets washed up on the shore of an island inhabited only by animals. And she ends up caring for an orphaned gosling and making a mark on the island. It’s just so different than anything else out there and the small chapters work perfectly to read aloud during the small moments of your day. Plus - doing the voice of Roz is a riot. I had more fun reading this book out loud than any other novel I’ve ever read aloud. Those are my three suggestions for awesome 4th grade read alouds - Bunnicula, A Whole New Ballgame, and The Wild Robot. You can’t go wrong any of them! Closing Alright - that’s it for the Q&A section this week.
