The pale horse amazon6/8/2023 ![]() But ultimately, this back-and-forth switch between these settings and scenarios, motives and motivations comes at the expense of crafting a plausible, earned ending to the core mystery.Īiring as two episodes in the U.S. The costumes and production design are great, a tricky mix of expensive class signifiers and rustic vintage elements without being twee. It leans in hard to the contrast between slick, successful Carnaby Street-curious Mark and the visceral pagan folk horror of the English countryside. This is both the good and the bad of “The Pale Horse” on Amazon Prime Video. And in our post-”Midsommar” world, everyone knows that’s when things are going to start getting real. ![]() Thanks to his profound narcissism and arrogance - I mean, it’s earned, you guys have seen Sewell in a vintage suit, right?

I can analyze Whedon’s failings till the undead cows come home (not only in Cabin but in his Avengers work, that infamous Wonder Woman script, and more), but I’ll never stop loving his work. I didn’t question anything they were telling me. When I finally watched the movie, I saw them silently enacted-the funny, subversive voice of Joss and Drew speaking even when the characters weren’t. The dialogue, rhythmic like music, was nothing new to me, but the screen directions? They were magical. As a consolation prize, my mom bought me one of those glossy, special feature books that also included the complete script. ![]() Buffy Summers projected strength, vulnerability, and dark, twisted sexuality all at once, something I didn’t know women were allowed to do on television.Ĭabin in the Woods was a little too scary for me to see it in theaters at the time. “In fact,” I thought, “he might be like … an even better feminist than me.” I didn’t know before I watched Buffy that female desire could be portrayed as something so dark, aggressive, and complex-that girls could fight monsters without being laconic, scary grownups like Charlie’s Angels or Lara Croft. There was no doubt in my quip-obsessed 9th-grade mind that Joss was a feminist. ![]() Curtis sittenfeld's prep6/7/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Both intimidated and fascinated by her classmates, Lee becomes a shrewd observer of–and, ultimately, a participant in–their rituals and mores. ![]() She leaves her animated, affectionate family in South Bend, Indiana, at least in part because of the boarding school’s glossy brochure, in which boys in sweaters chat in front of old brick buildings, girls in kilts hold lacrosse sticks on pristinely mown athletic fields, and everyone sings hymns in chapel.Īs Lee soon learns, Ault is a cloistered world of jaded, attractive teenagers who spend summers on Nantucket and speak in their own clever shorthand. Lee Fiora is an intelligent, observant fourteen-year-old when her father drops her off in front of her dorm at the prestigious Ault School in Massachusetts. Curtis Sittenfeld’s debut novel, Prep, is an insightful, achingly funny coming-of-age story as well as a brilliant dissection of class, race, and gender in a hothouse of adolescent angst and ambition. ![]() Animal dreams by barbara kingsolver6/7/2023 ![]() ![]() On occasion, very heavy books may require an additional shipping amount, if so we will contact you to agree this before the sale is processed.
