And the finished film does exactly what Durham said it would - tell the story of those plague years not only from the perspective of the people who were robbed of their lives, but the loved ones who were impacted by their deaths. ![]() Sundance Award-Winner 'Smoke Sauna Sisterhood' Sells to Key Territories (EXCLUSIVE)Īfter years of struggle to bring the movie to life, “Fairyland” will have its premiere on Friday at the Sundance Film Festival with a cast that includes Scoot McNairy, Geena Davis and “CODA” breakout Emilia Jones.

Resurgent veronica roth6/10/2023 ![]() ![]() This put the planned final chapter The Divergent Series: Ascendant in doubt, and while the studio tried to make the final chapter as a TV movie instead, vocal disinterest from cast members like Woodley, Teller, and Theo James ruled out that option. Roth left when she makes it obvious that Tris and Tobias are about to have sex for the first time and. Unfortunately, by the time the third entry arrived in 2016, there was already clear signs that interest in dystopian YA blockbusters was waning, and The Divergent Series: Allegiant grossed around a $100 million less than the previous movie. Resurgent, a divergent trilogy fanfic FanFiction. The Divergent Series: Allegiant made the decision to split Veronica Roth's final book in two, which is a tactic the Harry Potter and Hunger Games movie franchises also employed. Related: Divergent Series: Ascendant - Why The Final Movie Was Canceled The second entry The Divergent Series: Insurgent was also a hit, but its box-office haul notably did little to improve on the results of the first movie. The first installment was a solid hit back in 2014 and featured a great cast of up and coming actors, including Miles Teller, Bill Skarsgard, and Zoe Kravitz. Lead character Tris (Shailene Woodley) learns she's a "divergent" and doesn't fit into any one category, which is something that could get her killed if she's discovered. Divergent is set in a futuristic world where people are divided into different classes based on their values. ![]() The haven emma donoghue6/10/2023 ![]() Elderly Cormac, who came to the cloistered life after the death of his wife and children, has myriad practical skills and an engaging love of storytelling Christianity for him seems to be a series of marvelous yarns. Young Trian, given to a monastery by his parents at age 13 for an unnamed defect, grows in confidence on the island and becomes increasingly sullen about the endless copying of sacred manuscripts at the expense of pressing tasks like finding food. Taking one of her regular breaks from contemporary fiction, Donoghue has left behind none of her ability to spin a compelling story and people it with sharp characterizations. ![]() “Does God not visit those who love him in the wildest wastes?” he asks his two companions, who at first are awed by the holy man who has chosen them to serve him on this mission. ![]() This matters not at all to Brother Artt, focused on purity and piety to an extent that’s extreme even by the standards of the early Middle Ages. ![]() Great Skellig, a rocky outcrop with no groundwater and scant vegetation, is hardly a promising place to establish a settlement. ![]() Three monks seek refuge from worldly temptation on a remote island off the Irish coast. ![]() Death note black edition 3 english6/9/2023 ![]() ![]() Here is a list of pros and cons that I made concerning each edition:Ĭheaper than buying the individual volumesĭifficult to remove individual volumes (at least that's what I've found out from watching unboxings on Youtube) Just thought I'd throw that in since I'm talking about Death Note. ![]() Oh, and another thing: I also plan on buying a copy of Light's Death Note from Amazon. I'm a sucker for larger format and color pages so the Black Editions sound very appealing to me but getting the box set also sounds very nice because box sets tend to look nice in general. I like the Death Note series and have yet to read all of it (I've read up to volume 9 (I think) that a friend loaned me) and I really want to own it but I can't decide if I want to get the Box Set which contains all 12 volumes plus volume 13: How to Read or all 6 Black Editions that contain all twelve volumes. ![]() Should I get the Box Set of Death Note or the Black Editions? I have been debating this for the past week or so and I'm getting nowhere.

As dangerous as it is to head to Athens, they have no other option.

Though it is tempting to take the Athena Parthenos to Athens to use as a secret weapon, the friends know that the huge statue belongs back on Long Island, where it "might" be able to stop a war between the two camps. The Roman legion from Camp Jupiter, led by Octavian, is almost within striking distance. The demigods are having more frequent visions of a terrible battle at Camp Half-Blood. She needs their blood - the blood of Olympus - in order to wake. They must be stopped before the Feast of Spes, when Gaea plans to have two demigods sacrificed in Athens. ![]() Her giants have risen - all of them - and they're stronger than ever.

However, the emissions could peak soon, as China has accelerated its clean energy push and installed record amounts of solar and wind power capacity, the analysts pointed out. “Looking at the rest of the year, the government’s focus on economic growth means that China’s emissions are likely to reach an all-time high in 2023, topping the previous peak in 2021,” said Lauri Myllyvirta and Qi Qin, analysts at CREA. ![]() The increase was driven by an economic rebound after the end of China’s zero-Covid policy, economic stimulus measures and weak hydro generation due to an ongoing drought, the Helsinki-based think tank said. ![]() ![]() That’s the highest first-quarter number on record. China’s carbon emissions will likely hit a new record in 2023 on the back of an economic rebound, but a rapid expansion in green energy will enable its emissions to peak soon, a global energy think tank said on Friday.Ĭhina, the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gas, saw its carbon dioxide emissions rise 4% in the first quarter of this year compared to the same period in 2022, reaching more than 3 billion tonnes, according to a new report by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) for Carbon Brief. ![]() Patricia highsmith novel deep water6/9/2023 ![]() ![]() That line - and the perverse thought behind that line - underpins at least one possible interpretation of the sadomasochistic relationship at the center of Deep Water, the third adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s 1957 novel and the first in English. It might not be the exalted romantic love of fiction or even reality, but for Melinda, an unreconstructed narcissist, it’s the next best thing: Vic’s willing to not just kill for her, but kill to keep her in the self-destructive relationship that defines their marriage. ![]() ![]() There’s a moment in the aptly named Deep Water, the semi-return to form for Adrian Lyne ( Jacob’s Ladder, Fatal Attraction, Flashdance), the onetime master of the erotic thriller, where Melinda Van Allen (Ana de Armas), wealth-adjacent wife to amoral tech-bro billionaire Vic (Ben Affleck), explicitly recognizes his likely involvement in a string of disappearances and murders and fully embraces her role as the twisted object of her husband’s desire.
