En libros como "La isla del tesoro" de Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) está la aventura de la vida misma. Filósofos como Fernando Savater lo lee todos los años, fascinado por cómo "la figura intrigante de Jim Hawkins acumula inacabables ambivalencias". Es alguien que "circula de un bando a otro en un tráfago vertiginoso y equí­voco, incapaz de aquietarse en un campo, fiel solamente a su condición de prófugo, de infiltrado′". Para Savater, "esta radical ambigüedad es el secreto o, si se prefiere, el tesoro de este cuento impar". En este programa de radio, "Al Trasluz", escuchamos fragmentos del libro leído por Eugenio Barona y escenas de la versión doblada de la película que hizo Orson Welles en 1972 y Víctor Fleming en 1934. Oímos canciones inspiradas por esta historia del cantautor escocés Ian Cussick (Restless Heart) y el músico cristiano Curtis Chapman (Treasure Island). Los temas instrumentales que suenan de fondo a la narración de José de Segovia son de la banda sonora de la versión televisiva de 1990 por el grupo irlandés The Chieftains y la última adaptación de Disney en 2002 por James Newton-Howard. El diseño sonora y la realización técnica es de Daniel Panduro.

"The world's first iron bridge spans the Ironbridge Gorge in Shropshire in the English Midlands. Through the gorge runs the River Severn, which is prone to flooding - and becoming more so, through climate change. The Ironbridge Gorge is often called the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. The area contains all the elements of progress that contributed to the rapid development of this industrial region in the 18th century, from the mines themselves to the railway lines.  "Nearby, the blast furnace of Coalbrookdale, built in 1708, is a reminder of the discovery of coke. The bridge at Ironbridge had a considerable influence on developments in the fields of technology and architecture. This recording was made at the highest point of the arch of the bridge, at a time when the river was in flood and parts of the surrounding area were inaccessible as a result. You hear the rush of the water some 18m below the bridge, the voices of tourists and visitors walking past, the sounds of the town (stereo L) and a passing light aeroplane, and an angrily barking dog! You also hear the clicking and beeping of tourists' cameras as they photograph the flooding, including one who stands directly above the recorder, then accidentally kicks it over and apologises!  "Many thousands of people visit the Iron Bridge and the surrounding area (UNESCO WHS) but mostly in fine weather. Local people's experience of the Gorge inevitably includes experiencing the impact of flooding, hence I thought it was important to capture a sound few visitors will have heard." UNESCO listing: Ironbridge Gorge Recorded by Jim Hawkins. ——————— This sound is part of the Sonic Heritage project, exploring the sounds of the world's most famous sights.

Robert Louis Stevenson, a sickly boy with a vivid imagination, grew up along Scotland's rugged coast, where tales of shipwrecks and buried gold stirred dreams of pirates and treasure. Out of this coastal world, Stevenson crafted Treasure Island - and with it, Long John Silver, a character who has since come to define the cunning, complex pirate in our imaginations. But what inspired Stevenson's tale, and how did his own experiences, steeped in adventure and struggle, breathe life into one of literature's greatest pirates? Tracing the origins of Treasure Island and its enduring characters, we learn that the stories are grounded in Stevenson's Scottish roots, a tapestry of real pirate lore, and the influential writings of Daniel Defoe. We meet Jim Hawkins, the young hero, and Long John Silver, the peg-legged rogue inspired by stories of real marauders. Join Anita and William as they explore how Treasure Island came to shape the mythical pirate figure and inspire countless adventures.

This week on The Video Store Podcast, we're diving into some adventurous waters with four pirate films you might not have rented yet, but are worth a look. These films span decades, showing how Hollywood has captured the allure of swashbuckling adventures over time. Whether you're a fan of classic Hollywood, musicals, or big-budget ‘90s action, I've picked a lineup that I think captures the spirit of the genre in different ways.Here's what's on this episode:Captain Blood (1935)If you're curious about Errol Flynn's big break, Captain Blood is the film to watch. Directed by Michael Curtiz, who later went on to make Casablanca, this movie was released during the Golden Age of Hollywood and set the standard for pirate films to come. In it, Flynn plays Dr. Peter Blood, an Irish physician turned reluctant pirate, a role that became iconic for him. Olivia de Havilland co-stars, marking the first of eight films they'd appear in together. The movie was actually adapted from Rafael Sabatini's 1922 novel, and what's interesting is that Flynn wasn't the studio's first choice. Warner Bros. originally wanted Robert Donat, but when he turned it down, they took a chance on Flynn, who was then unknown. The film went on to be a hit, and Flynn's career took off from there.Treasure Island (1950) Disney's first fully live-action film was Treasure Island, adapted from Robert Louis Stevenson's novel. This film captures the heart of the classic pirate tale with Bobby Driscoll as Jim Hawkins and Robert Newton as the unforgettable Long John Silver. Newton's portrayal of Silver is what many credit with shaping the “pirate accent” we recognize today, especially that exaggerated “Arrr.” For a lot of people, myself included, this is the definitive version of Treasure Island, so it's a must-watch for anyone wanting a straightforward adaptation of the classic tale.The Pirate Movie (1982)The Pirate Movie is very different from the last two films. It is more of a campy, musical rom-com take on The Pirates of Penzance. If you're looking for a quirky, offbeat experience, this film, starring Kristy McNichol and Christopher Atkins, is definitely that. Though critics weren't fond of it when it was released, it's gained a bit of a cult following since then. One interesting thing about this movie is that it openly riffs on the Gilbert and Sullivan opera it's based on, adding a lot of modern (for the time) references. It's worth a watch if you're into musicals and don't mind a less traditional approach to a pirate story.Cutthroat Island (1995)Last up is Cutthroat Island, an ambitious, big-budget adventure directed by Renny Harlin and starring Geena Davis and Matthew Modine. Known mostly for being a notorious box office bomb, it has gained some appreciation over the years for its impressive stunt work, practical effects, and for putting a female pirate in the lead. Davis plays Morgan Adams, a captain on a quest to find hidden treasure. While the film's financial failure might have overshadowed its merits at the time, there's a lot to admire. It's also one of the last pirate movies before Pirates of the Caribbean would revive the genre nearly a decade later. If you're ready for a bit of pirate escapism, these four movies offer different takes on the genre, from classic Hollywood adventure to musical satire to large-scale nineties action. Listen to the show to hear a little more about each film and why they're worth watching, and maybe even renting, this week. This is a public episode.

Treasure Island by Robert Stevenson原文Chapter 8: Got The ShipThe pirates had a big fire on the beach, and there was a small light on the Hispaniola.Very quietly, I put Ben Gunn's boat into the sea.The boat moved slowly and quietly across the water.Soon I was near the ship.Nobody saw me.'I can cut the ship's rope with my knife,' I thought. 'And then the wind can push the ship away from the beach.'I listened.There were two men on the ship.The other pirates were all on the beach.The men on the ship were talking loudly and angrily.'They're going to have a fight,' I thought.One of the men was Israel Hands.I waited, then I cut the rope.Slowly the ship turned round and began to move away from the beach.The two men on the ship started to fight.The pirates on the beach sat round their fire and sang.They did not see the ship moving away.I sat down in Ben Gunn's boat and fell asleep.In the morning, I sat up and looked around.The little boat was not far from the island and I saw that I was quite near the Hispaniola.I looked for Israel Hands and the other pirate, but I did not see them.I moved slowly nearer and nearer to the Hispaniola.Then I climbed on to the ship.The two pirates were there, on the ship.They did not move.One of them was dead.Israel Hand's leg was badly hurt, but he was not dead.I looked round the ship.All the cupboards were open, and everything was dirty.There were a lot of bottles on the floor.I found some drink and gave it to Hands.Then I took down the pirates' flag.'The ship is ours, now,'I thought.Israel Hands spoke.'You can't sail the ship, Jim Hawkins,' he said. 'Give me some food. I can help you.''I don't want to go back to the beach,' I said. 'Help me to sail it to the North Inlet.''Right,' he said.So we sailed to the north of the island.The ship moved quietly through the water; I was happy.The old pirate watched me carefully.Then he smiled.'Jim, go and get me ... er ... get me something to drink,' he said. 'I'm thirsty.'I did not like his smile. I went away, but I came back very quietly and watched him.He moved slowly and took a knife from behind some rope.Then he put the knife under his jacket and he went back to his old place.'Ah,' I thought. 'He can move and he's got a knife. He wants to kill me. I must be careful.'I went back to him and gave him the bottle.We sailed on and came to the North Inlet.Hands told me what to do and I brought the ship near the beach.I watched the sails and the sea, but I did not watch Hands.Suddenly I turned and saw him behind me with his knife in his hand.I jumped away and took out my gun.I tried to shoot at Hands but nothing happened.The gun was wet with sea water.I moved away quickly, but Hands followed me.I climbed up among the sails and tried to shoot again.Hands looked up,then he threw his knife at me.It went into my arm.Then I shot him and he dropped into the sea.The pirate's knife was in my arm.I pulled it out and climbed down on to the ship.

Qui n'a jamais rêvé de trouver une carte au trésor, de partir à l'aventure et de combattre d'affreux pirates? Selon l'écrivain écossais Robert Louis Stevenson, c'est ce qui arriva, à la fin du XIXe siècle, au jeune Jim Hawkins, le héros de son roman L'Île au Trésor…

Treasure Island by Robert Stevenson原文Chapter 6: Dr Livesey's StoryAt half-past one in the afternoon two, small boats went from the ship to the island.We looked for Jim Hawkins on the Hispaniola, but he was not there.We waited on the ship.There were six pirates with us.Then Hunter and I took a boat and went to the island.I wanted to see the house on the island.The house was strong and it was in a good place.'We can stay here,' I thought. 'There's water, and we can bring food and guns from the ship.'Then I heard the pirates fighting in the trees.'They're killing someone,' I thought. 'Perhaps Jim Hawkins is dead.'Hunter and I went back to the Hispaniola.I told the captain about the house, and we started to put food into the small boat.The pirates on the ship did not hear us.Joyce and I carried the food from the beach to the house.Joyce stayed in the house with his gun and I went back to the ship.We put more food and our guns into the small boat and dropped all the other guns into the sea.Then Mr. Trelawney's men Redruth and Hunter, Mr. Trelawney, the captain and I left the ship.There were five of us in a small boat and we moved very slowly.Then we saw the pirates on the Hispaniola.They had the big gun on the ship.'They're going to shoot at us,' somebody said.We tried to go faster.Mr. Trelawney shot at the men on the ship.He hit one of them.Then the pirates on the island ran out of the trees.They began to run along the beach.'Quickly!' said the captain. 'They're going to catch us. Leave the boat.'We heard the big gun on the Hispaniola behind us; we jumped on to the beach and ran.Most of our food and our guns went down into the sea with the small boat.We heard the pirates running along the beach behind us, but we ran quickly through the trees to the house.We arrived at the house and turned to shoot at the pirates.We hit one of the pirates, and the other men ran away.Then one of the pirates turned and shot Redruth through the head.Captain Smollett said sadly: 'Now there are only five of us and we have food for ten days. What are we going to do?'Suddenly we heard somebody outside.'Dr Livesey,' said Jim Hawkins, 'it's me, Jim. I'm here.'So then there were six of us.

Treasure Island by Robert Stevenson原文Chapter 3: The Sailor with One LegThe next day Mr.Trelawney left for Bristol.“I stayed at home and waited.At last, weeks later, Dr Livesey got a letter from Bristol.Dear Livesey, the ship is ready. Its name is Hispaniola.I found a good man to be our cook on the ship.He's an old sailor and he has an inn here in Bristol.He is going to help me find sailors for our ship.He knows a lot of men here.His name is Long John Silver.He has only one leg.Please send Jim Hawkins to Bristol tomorrow.Trelawney.”I was very excited.The next morning I said goodbye to my mother and started for Bristol.Mr. Trelawney met met here.'When do we sail?' I asked him.'Sail?' he said. 'We sail tomorrow!'I had something to eat, then Mr. Trelawney gave me a letter for Long John Silver at the Spy Glass Inn.There were a lot of sailors in the Spy Glass Inn.I looked round and saw a tall strong man with one leg.'He's Long John Silver,' I thought.'Mr. Silver, sir?'I asked.'Yes, that's my name. And who are you?'I gave him the letter and he took my hand.Suddenly, one of the other men in the inn jumped up and ran to the door.I knew him.It was Black Dog!'Stop him!' I said. 'Stop him! It's Black Dog!''Harry,' said Silver, 'run and catch that man.'A man got up and ran after Black Dog.Long John Silver turned to me."Who was that man?'he asked. 'Black what?''Dog, sir,' I said.'He's a pirate.''A pirate!' said Silver. 'Ben, run and help Harry. You can catch him!'But Ben and Harry came back without Black Dog.'We lost him,' they said.'Well, what is Mr.Trelawney going to think?' said Silver. 'You know, Jim, we did try to catch him. And nobody in the inn knew that he was the pirate Black Dog. Now, Jim,come with me. We're going to see Mr. Trelawney.'Long John Silver walked with me to meet Mr. Trelawney and Dr Livesey.He told them about Black Dog.Mr. Trelawney listened carefully, and then said, 'Well, we can't do anything about Black Dog now.John, tell all the men to come to the ship this afternoon.'The doctor turned tome. 'Come and see the ship, Jim,' he said. And meet our captain, Captain Smollett.'So we went to the Hispaniola.'Well, Captain Smollett,' said Mr. Trelawney, 'I hope everything is ready.''Well, sir,' said the captain, 'it is, but l'm not happy about it. I don't like the sailors.''Oh?' said Mr.Trelawney. He was very angry with the captain.But Dr Livesey said,'Tell me, Captain Smollett. Why are you unhappy?'Well,' said the captain, I don't know where we are going. But all the sailors say we are going to look for treasure. I don't like it. I don't know these men.''Well, what do you want?' asked the doctor.'We must have all the guns in our rooms, sir. And Mr. Trelawney's men must sleep near us, not with the other sailors.''And?' said Mr. Trelawney.'You have a map. Thesailors know about it. Nobody must see that map.''Right, sir,' said Mr.Trelawney. 'We can do that. But I think they're very good men.''Trelawney,' said the doctor later, 'you have two good men, Captain Smollett and Long John Silver.''I don't know about the captain,' said Mr. Trelawney angrily.Then Captain Smollett found me. 'And you, boy, go and help the cook!'We worked all night and in the morning, the ship left Bristol.The Hispaniola was a good ship and we had good weather.The sailors all liked Long John Silver.'In the old days,before he lost his leg, he was a good fighter,' some of them said.' He was always very good to me. '

Treasure Island by Robert Stevenson原文Chapter 1: Jim Hawkins' Story IMy father had an inn near the sea.It was a quiet place.One day, an old man came to our door.He was tall and strong, and his face was brown.His old blue coat was dirty and he had a big old box with him.He looked at the inn, then he looked at the sea.My father came to the door.At first the old man did not speak.He looked again at the sea, and at the front of the inn.'I like this place,'he said. 'Do many people come here?''No,' said my father.'I'm going to stay here,' said the old man. 'I want a bed and food. I like watching the sea and the ships. You can call me Captain.'He threw some money on the table.'That's for my bed and my food,' he said.And so the old captain came to stay with us.He was always quiet.In the evenings he sat in the inn and in the day he watched the sea and the ships.One day he spoke tome.'Come here, boy,' he said, and he gave me some money.'Take this, and look out for a sailor with one leg.'He was afraid of that sailor with one leg.I was afraid too.I looked for the man with one leg, but I never saw him.Then winter came,and it was very cold.My father was ill,and my mother and I worked very hard.Early one January morning, the captain went to the beach.I helped my mother to make the captain's breakfast.The door opened and a man came in.His face was very white and he had only three fingers on his left hand.I could see that he was a sailor.'Can I help you?' I asked.The man looked at the captain's breakfast table.'Is this table for my friend Bill?' he asked.'I don't know your friend Bill,' I said. 'It's the captain's table.''The captain?' he said. 'Well, they sometimes call my friend Bill the Captain. Is he here in the house?''No. He's out,'I said.The man sat down and waited for the captain.Then the captain came into the room.He went to his table and sat down.The captain turned round quickly.His face went white.Suddenly, he looked old and ill.'Come, Bill, you know me. You know an old friend, Bill,' said the man.'Black Dog!' said the captain.'Yes,' said the man.'It's me, Black Dog. I wanted to see my old friend Billy.''Well, here I am,'said the captain. 'What do you want?''I want to talk to you, Bill,' Black Dog said.The captain looked at me.'Leave the room,boy,' he said, 'and don't listen at the door.'They talked for along time.Then I heard them talking angrily.'No, no, no!' said the captain.There was a fight and then Black Dog ran out of the house.The captain's face was white.'I must get out of here!'he said.I ran to get him a drink.I came back and found the captain on the floor.His eyes were closed.Our doctor, Dr Livesey, came and looked at the old captain.'He's very ill,'said the doctor.The captain opened his eyes and looked at the doctor.'Where's Black Dog?'he asked.'There's no Black Dog here,' said the doctor.'Now, Billy Bones,you must...''Billy Bones?' said the captain. 'My name's not Billy Bones.''Oh?' said the doctor. 'Oh, yes. It's the name of a famous pirate.'We put the old captain in his bed.'He must stay in his bed for a week,' said the doctor. 'He's very ill.'At twelve o'clock I went to see the captain in his room.'What did the doctor say?'he asked.You must stay in bed for a week,' I told him.'Too late!' he said.'You remember Black Dog. He's a bad man, but there are worse men than Black Dog. They want my old box. You must look out for sailors. You must look out for Flint's men.'Then the captain closed his eyes.But I didn't lookout for sailors, because my father died that night.I was too sad to think about the captain.

In this week's episode, I take a look at the movies and TV shows I watched and enjoyed in winter 2023. TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Brief Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 181 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is December, the 22nd, 2023 and today we're going to talk about the movies I saw in Winter 2023. Careful listeners might notice that I am recording this on December 22nd, which is actually only a day after I recorded Episode 180, which I recorded yesterday. The reason for that is it is the last Friday before Christmas and New Year's today, and I think I'm going to take most of the days between now and New Year's off and spend time with family and hopefully do other fun things. So this episode I was just recording a couple episodes in advance and I believe this episode is going to go out on January 1st, 2024. So if you're listening to this, I hope you have a Happy New Year and however things went for you in 2023, whether good or bad, I hope they are better in 2024. Just a quick update on my current writing projects, since I am recording this episode the day after I recorded Episode 180, not much has changed. I am 40,000 words into Shield of Storms and I hope to have that out in January, which would be later this month (if you are listening to this in January). I am 51,000 words into Sevenfold Sword Online: Leveling and I'm hoping to have that in February. I am 4,000 words into Half-Elven Thief and I'm not sure when that's going to come out. One additional bit of news since yesterday, it looks very likely we will have an audiobook of Sevenfold Sword Online: Creation sometime in January, if everything goes well. So watch and listen for additional news on that. Since I don't really have any other news since I recorded last week's episode yesterday, let's get into our main topic, which is the movies and TV shows I watched in Winter 2023.   00:01:54 Main Topic: Winter 2023 Movie and TV Reviews As always, I will discuss them in the order that I like them from least liked to most liked and as always remember my opinions about this are subjective. I am not a filmmaker. My opinions are often very, very idiosyncratic and just what I happen to think of a particular piece of work. First up is The Crown Season 6, which came out in 2023. The performances were superb, the actors were excellent, the set design and cinematography was excellent. Everyone involved in the show was at the top of their field and did an amazing job. And I still just didn't like this because it felt a bit ghoulish. For one thing, as The Crown has gone on, it's become less historical and more of a messy soap opera with an increasingly casual relationship with what really happened in the events it describes. For another thing, as I mentioned, I found the show's fixation on Princess Diana's death to be rather ghoulish. I am old enough to remember her death in 1997, and even then when I was much younger and stupider, I thought the American media's obsession with her death was weird and disturbing, especially since the media fixation on her was the direct contributing cause to her death. If the media hadn't been willing to pay vast sums for photographs of her, the paparazzi wouldn't have chased her and history would be different. A while back I knew a history professor who said that history only starts between 20 to 30 years ago and anything that happened within the last 20 to 30 years wasn't history yet, it was still journalism. I think that is part of what bothers me about Season Six of The Crown. Most of the people involved in the story are still alive. Writing historical fiction about people who have died, who have died is one thing, especially if they've been dead for centuries or even millennia. Only God may judge of the dead, so what those of us among the living think about them is quite irrelevant. But making up fiction about people who are still alive, even if they are major public figures who have unquestionably made some bad decisions, somehow seems libelous, especially since there have been so many articles in both the UK and the US press detailing all the things that Season Six of The Crown got wrong with the historical record. So to sum up, the show is extremely well done, but I cannot help but feel that it's like excellent work done in a bad cause. Overall Grade: D. Next up is Shazam: Fury of the Gods, which came out in 2023. The first Shazam movie was actually pretty good, definitely in B or B Plus territory. The sequel, alas, was quite a bit weaker. It reminded me of watching a really cheesy sword and sorcery movie from the 1980s: fun to watch mostly, but quite dumb. Following up from the first movie, Billy Batson and his foster siblings are now part of the Shazam superhero family and are handling their powers about as well as you would expect inexperienced teenagers to handle phenomenal cosmic powers, except it turns out that the wizard who gave Billy and his family their powers actually stole those powers from the Greek Titan Atlas and Atlas's daughters are ticked off about this and want those powers back. Since this is a superhero movie, let's just say they're not going to settle this dispute in probate court. The product placement for the Skittles candy in this movie was just over the top. In fact, an entire major plot point hinges on a teenage girl's love of Skittles. One hopes that Mars Incorporated, owner of the Skittles brand, really coughed up for that. Helen Mirren chews a lot of scenery as the chief daughter of Atlas, though she does have a very funny bit with a dictated letter. This isn't her first time in an over-the-top fantasy movie. She played Morgana in Excalibur back in the 80s, though her costume this time covers quite a bit more than Morgana's various outfits did. The movie also leans way too heavily into the rest of the DC movie universe. I'd say it's enjoyable to shut off your brain and watch all the sparkly fireworks and the scenery chewing, but it's not very good. Overall Grade: D+. Next up is Clue, which came out in 1985. Big swing and a miss, but definitely a miss nonetheless. I tried to watch this about ten years ago, but the version I watched then didn't have any captions and all the characters talked too fast for me to understand. But I have a much better TV than I did ten years ago and the caption situation has improved, so I gave it another go. This is a dark comedy version of the popular board game Clue. All the classic Clue characters, Colonel Mustard, Professor Plum, and so forth are summoned to Mr. Boddy's mansion during a dark and stormy night. Mr. Boddy gloats says he has been blackmailing all of them, distributes the classic Clue weapons of the pipe, the knife, the wrench and so forth, and then promptly turns off the lights. When the lights come back on. Mr. Boddy has been murdered. Mr. Boddy, to be blunt about it, doesn't seem to have been all that bright a bulb. Anyway, madcap hijinks ensue as the guests try to figure out who the killer was. Three alternate endings are included with the movie, which have a different killer in each one. There were some very funny bits in the movie, but overall it really didn't work and it had some oddly heavy-handed commentary about the Red Scare. Tim Curry was pretty great in it though. Fun fact: he did an excellent turn as Darth Sidious in what was then the final episodes of The Clone Wars animated series, and he also played Arl Howe, one of the chief villains in Dragon Age: Origins, which was one of the last video games I had time to play through all the way before I spent the next fourteen years writing like 147 novels. A remake of Clue has been in production hell for like the last ten years. You just know that Hasbro wants to include Clue in their cinematic universe where Colonel Mustard and Miss Scarlett team up with Optimus Prime and GI Joe to fight Megatron and the Monopoly guy or something. Overall grade: C Minus. Next up is Murder Mystery, which came out in 2019. This was unquestionably a dumb movie, but it was a fun, dumb movie. Like it's a C Minus student, but it's a sort of C Minus student who everyone likes, throws great parties, and goes on to have a very successful career as a regional sales manager. Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston play Nick Spitz and Audrey Spitz, a New York City cop and a hairdresser. Nick has failed the detective exam multiple times and has gotten stuck in a rut, and Audrey really wants to go to Europe so Nick takes her to Europe and they promptly blunder into a ‘40s screwball style comedy about the murder of a wealthy European oligarch and his squabbling heirs. A lot of the comedy comes from the good-natured, but boorish Spitzes contrasted with the sophisticated, wealthy Europeans who promptly decided that Nick and Audrey would make the perfect scapegoats to take the fall for the oligarch's murder. Wacky hijinks follow. I do have to respect how Adam Sandler uses his movie productions as an excuse to travel to exotic locations with his friends. Overall grade: C Minus. Next up is the sequel to Murder Mystery, the aptly named Murder Mystery 2, which came out in 2023. It's the sequel to the first Murder Mystery and pretty much everything I said about the first one still applies-dumb, but fun. Overall grade: C Minus. Next up is Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny from 2023 and ah, I was very ambivalent about this movie. To be fair, it was better than Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It had some stuff that was really good and some stuff that just annoyed me. The opening sequence with the train during World War II was great- classic Indiana Jones stuff. The Nazis try to time travel to change World War II is a well-established trope of science fiction, but the twist this time is the villain thinks he understands how the time travel device works, but it turns out that he actually doesn't was pretty good. The car chases were excellent as well, both in New York and Tangiers. That said, the legacy protagonist now is an old loser getting lectured by a more competent younger woman story trope was in full force, and it's a really annoying story trope. Disney seems to just adore the story trope: the Star Wars sequels, Secret Invasion, and now Dial of Destiny, and I suspect a majority of audiences agree with me and don't like it, which is probably one of the significant reasons the Disney Corporation lost a metric gigaton of money this year. Top Gun Maverick was a much better example of bringing back a legacy protagonist. Indy also has this oddly out of character speech where he says he doesn't believe in magic, which is rich considering he has literally seen The Ark of the Covenant melt Nazis, the power of The Holy Grail turn another Nazi to dust, and space aliens. So I would say that Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny was half a good movie and half a weak one. Overall grade: B Minus. Next up is the Barbie movie, which came out in 2023. I saw Oppenheimer in the theater in August after I finished working on Dragonskull: Crown of the Gods and a couple months ago I did finally get around to seeing Barbie. Greta Gerwig is clearly a genius because she figured out how to take the existential anxiety of the modern American woman and convert it into $1.44 billion at the box office. If we could work out how to apply the same principles to generating electricity, we would have limitless clean energy, flying cars, and World Peace. Though I suppose the phrase modern American woman really is a facile generalization. Anyway, I really wasn't in the target demographic for this movie. That said, it is quite funny. It's a fantasy comedy that's a bit surrealistic in places. The set design is superb and done with very little computer effects. Apparently so much pink paint was used that it actually caused a nationwide shortage. As many reviews said, Ryan Gosling almost stole the movie as Ken, which was amusing on a meta level because he's played so many grim action heroes. In the third act, the movie really does beat the viewer over the head with the message. But what else can you expect from a Barbie movie in 2023? The funniest line was “How can she call me a fascist? I don't control the railways or the flow of commerce.” The joke about Proust Barbie not selling was pretty funny as well. Maybe if the Barbienheimer meme continues, in the sequel, Proust Barbie can fall in love with Oppenheimer Ken, and they have grim conversations about existentialism and science. Overall grade: B Plus. Next up is Muppet Treasure Island, which came out in 1996. This is a loose-ish adaptation of the classic novel Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, with many Muppets filling the roles of the characters from the book and Tim Curry playing Long John Silver. Like in the book, young Jim Hawkins acquires a treasure map leading to the buried treasure of a ruthless pirate captain and sets out on an adventure to find it. However, many of the dead captain's former associates likewise want the treasure, so Hawkins and his allies must outwit their foes. This wasn't quite as good as Muppet Christmas Carol, but still quite enjoyable and funny. Overall Grade: A Minus. Now for the runner up of the best thing I saw in winter 2023 and that will be Loki Seasons One and Two, which came out in 2021 and 2023. I liked the first season of Loki, which came out back in 2021, but it was very obviously the first half of the story so I didn't write anything about it. However, I've seen the second season and the completed Loki show is very good. As I've written before, I don't really like multiverse or time travel stories because the stakes are either too vast or utterly meaningless. Time travel stories are a lot like homemade lasagna: if it's not excellent and not prepared by someone who knows exactly what they're doing, you're going to regret eating it. However, Loki leads hard enough into the concept, and the stakes that the show actually works. Like, I think the key question that every time travel story needs to answer at some point is why the time traveler doesn't just go back in time over and over again until she he or she fixes the problem, like remoting a saved game until you finally figure out how to beat the final boss. If you can time loop indefinitely, why not do it infinitely until you get the perfect outcome? Loki actually comes up with good answer to that question that isn't “because the plot requires it.” Anyway, the show starts with the version of Loki who escaped with Tesseract from Avengers Endgame getting captured by the Time Variance Authority. The TVA is basically the time cops. They guard the flow of The Sacred Timeline and prevent any alternative timelines and realities branching off from the main one. The events that make it out of The Sacred Timeline are determined by the Timekeepers, three mysterious figures who rule the TVA from the shadows. Loki manages to ingratiate himself to his captors, soon realizes that the TVA isn't all what it appears or claims to be, and discovers that big trouble is coming. The show had some good character development for Loki and managed to wrestle with what is in fact some profound philosophical questions. Is there a choice between determinism and free will? Must we choose between either brutal tyrannical order or destructive chaos, or is there another way? On a more prosaic level, some reviews said that the finale of Loki bound Marvel to using Kang The Conqueror as their next major villain, which would be a potential problem due to the actor's ongoing self-inflicted legal troubles. That said, I don't think that assessment is correct. In my opinion, the ending resolves the story while leaving things wide open for whatever Marvel wants to do (or can afford to do, given Disney's financial woes) next. Overall, Loki was the best non-Spiderman thing Marvel has done since Endgame. It also achieved one of the rarest feats of all in superhero movies: an emotionally satisfying ending to both the story and a long character arc. Overall Grade: A. Finally, the best thing I saw in Winter 2023 was The Shop Around the Corner, which came out in 1940. It is a romantic comedy starring Jimmy Stewart as Mr. Kravlik and Margaret Sullivan as Miss Novak. Mr. Kravlik is the top salesman at Matusek's, a store owned by the somewhat erratic Mr. Matusek, who kind of reminded me of a marginally brighter Michael Scott. One day Miss Novak comes into the shop and fast talks her way into a job as a sales clerk. Both she and Mr. Kravlik immediately take a dislike to each other, which is ironic because Mr. Kravlik and Miss Novak have been unwittingly corresponding with each other anonymously and falling in love over the last few months, which was something people used to do in the pre-Internet age before Tinder and Match.com. However, big trouble is on the horizon because one of the sales clerks is having an affair with Mr. Matusek's wife and Mr. Matuszek mistakenly blames Mr. Kravlik, who is in fact the most loyal of his employees and the only one brave enough to disagree with him. The movie was both very funny and had a real degree of tension with dramatic stakes. It's a cross between You've Got Mail (which was partially inspired by this movie) and the UK version of The Office. It's a very tight movie, not a single line of dialogue or shot was wasted and the layout of the shots was nearly perfect. In the modern mind, we tend to think of black and white movies as being sanitized and saccharine, but that overlooks that the 1950s and the 1940s were in fact very different periods in American history. Movies from the ‘40s really do have this hard, sometimes cynical, edge to them, without indulging in pointless nudity, graphic violence, or nihilism the way that modern movies often do. Like at one point in the movie, Mr. Matusek tries to shoot himself in despair, only for a teenage boy to stop him. That's dark stuff for romantic comedy. Of course the teenage boy is hardly traumatized by the experience. He definitely leverages the event to get himself promoted from delivery boy to sales clerk. I enjoyed this movie thoroughly. I do recommend you watch it with captions if possible, since sound technology has come a long way since 1940. Overall Grade: A+. So those were the movies that I saw and enjoyed in Winter 2023 and later this year, I will do a roundup of stuff I saw in Winter 2024. So that is it for this week.

Ready to go on a space pirate adventure? This week we're reviewing the animated version of a literary classic with Treasure Planet (2002). Jim Hawkins is a teenage delinquent with big childhood dreams of pirates, treasure, and swashbuckling adventure. When he's unwittingly thrust into the search for the legendary Treasure Planet, Jim learns that there's more to being a hero than cool ships and swords. This is a movie about found family, growing up, and fulfilling childhood dreams, but Lex has never seen it! Was she as enamored as Steph was as a kid? Or were we both disappointed after 20+ years? Let's find out together!

Welcome back to The Literary Life Podcast and the final episode in our series on Robert Louis Stevenson's Kidnapped. This week, Angelina, Cindy, and Thomas open with a discussion of the difference between Jacobites and Whigs and how that contrast is played out in this story. Angelina and Cindy compare the characters of David Balfour and Jim Hawkins of Treasure Island and how they display honor. Angelina addresses moralizing stories versus making a moral observation of a story. Thomas gives a summary of the last several chapters of Kidnapped and makes some comment on the lawyer Rankeillor. They highlight more of the epic romance elements found in this book, as well. Check out our Upcoming Events page to see the schedule for the rest of the summer and into fall.

A crowd of artists and aesthetes have declared in this age that art is immoral; but the fact plainly and obviously remains that there never was a time in the history of the world when art was so moral. If there be a fault in the popular criticism of the day, it is that it is far too much so. G. K. Chesterton, The Soul of Wit Man is by nature so dissatisfied an animal that he must always be acclaiming something that he fondly believes to be new. Charles Petrie, The Four Georges But though the thing is to be criticised (and admired) strictly as an adventure story, there are sidelights of interest about it considered as a historical novel. It carries on a rather curiously balanced critical attitude, partly inherited from the attitude of Sir Walter Scott, the paradox of being intellectually on the side of the Whigs and morally on the side of the Jacobites. G. K. Chesterton, Robert Louis Stevenson Scotland's Winter by Edwin Muir Now the ice lays its smooth claws on the sill, The sun looks from the hill Helmed in his winter casket, And sweeps his arctic sword across the sky. The water at the mill Sounds more hoarse and dull. The miller's daughter walking by With frozen fingers soldered to her basket Seems to be knocking  Upon a hundred leagues of floor With her light heels, and mocking Percy and Douglas dead, And Bruce on his burial bed, Where he lies white as may With wars and leprosy, And all the kings before This land was kingless, And all the singers before This land was songless, This land that with its dead and living waits the Judgement Day. But they, the powerless dead, Listening can hear no more Than a hard tapping on the floor A little overhead Of common heels that do not know Whence they come or where they go And are content With their poor frozen life and shallow banishment.
