Juneteenth is a special day in history. President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January
1, 1863, but it did not reach the slaves in states
that were part of the Confederacy until much later.
The Emancipation Proclamation finally reached Texas on June 19, 1865.
Because of this, we celebrate Juneteenth. Juneteenth is mostly celebrated in Texas and surrounding states.

Abbie Chatfield has revealed the sexual act she would never engage in with her partner, Adam Hyde.
The FBoy Island star, 29, recently opened up about the launch of her ‘kink kit’
sex toys and admitted that when it comes to bedroom fun, it’s strictly
a two-person affair.
While she does fantasise about having a ménage à trois,
Abbie admitted that it’s something she could never actually go through with.
‘I have a fantasy about, like, seeing my partner f*** someone else,’
she told News Corp.
‘But I think I know in my heart that I don’t actually want to see it.
I just want to talk about it like, that’s something that I find hot.
‘But in reality, would I want to see that? Maybe, probably not.’
Abbie Chatfield has revealed the sex act she refuses to do with partner Adam Hyde
While she does fantasise about having a ménage à trois, Abbie admitted that
it’s something she could never actually go through with.
Pictured with boyfriend Adam Hyde
‘Like, whenever we get to a point where we’re like, “let’s have a threesome!”, I’m like, “I don’t actually know if I’m gonna want to see that”,’ she continued.
Elsewhere in the discussion, Abbie revealed that her Peking Duk frontman partner was the perfect ‘product tester’ for the kit.
‘He had feedback about the length of the flogger,’ she said, referring to the kit’s double-ended paddle.
‘It was a little bit too short after using that on me.’
Abbie’s racy admissions come after she recently urged women to
withhold sex from their Donald Trump-supporting partners.
In a lengthy Instagram post, in the wake
of Donald Trump’s victory over Kamala Harris in the US presidential election, the reality
star told women they should refuse to date or have
sex which anyone who supports his victory.
Alongside a series of posts from her story, she wrote: ‘IF THEY WANT
TO TAKE AWAY REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOMS THEN DO NOT LET THEM ENTER YOUR BODY.’
‘I’m done with the idea that men who support Trump (or
Andrew Tate) are just ‘lost’ and we should have empathy for them.
They are gleefully posting threats of violence.’

‘They are happy that women’s rights are going to be stripped.
They are laughing at our tears. They already have a SLOGAN in ‘your

Abbie then told women to not let men with these views ‘near
you’ because they are ‘dangerous’.
‘Ask them about their views! They are dangerous and they don’t
deserve your presence, emotional or domestic labour. If your partner was in support of Trump
OR EVEN APATHETIC, STOP DOING ANYTHING FOR THEM THAT PATRIARCHY
EXPECTS OF YOU!! They are NOT entitled to your body or time.
‘If they see you as a human they wouldn’t need this explained to
them. DUMP. THEM.’
She also claimed Trump’s presidency ‘will bring more violence
towards women as men do not care about us’.
‘So stop giving them the perks of a relationship with you.
It isn’t your job. Be with a man who can take care of himself, who won’t expect sex and who actually sees you as a human being.’
Abbie’s comments echo sentiments from the 4B movement which sprung up in South Korea in the mid 2010’s.
The radical feminist movement, calls for proponents to not date, get
married, have sex, or have children with men.
Following the US presidential election some American women declared solidarity with the
movement is a form of protest against Donald Trump,
and his role in the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

The singer, whose hits include Bad Romance, Born This Way, Just Dance and Poker Face,
is headed back to her pop persona following the September
release of her album Harlequin, which was inspired by her film, Joker: Folie à Deux.
Among the tracks on the album included two new songs, and standards such as
That’s Entertainment, That’s Life and Get Happy.
Like the film, it was not an initial commercial success, marking her lowest ever entry for a full-length record on the Billboard 200 charts
at number 20.
Joker: Folie à Deux saw Lady Gaga play Harley Quinn opposite Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker, who earned the Best Actor Oscar for his performance in the franchise’s
2019 film
But the sequel was critically panned and became a huge flop, with
it being reported it ‘could potentially lose $150 to $200 million’ despite studio insiders saying it would break even.

The Warner Bros. film has made $192.2 million worldwide, with $56.6 million in domestic
box office revenue, according to Box Office Mojo.
Some fans have said that despite the film’s initial failure financially
and with critics, it will be looked upon favorably years from now.
Lady Gaga has had some commercial success in recent months with her pairing with Bruno Mars on Die With
a Smile, which was released in August, landing in the third
spot on Billboard’s Hot 100.
In 2020, she put out the studio album Chromatica,
which initially landed in the top spot upon its debut and included the hit single Rain on Me, a collaboration with Ariana Grande.

Red takes center stage as the hottest color

All red looks have been trending with the fashion set for some time, but after Rihanna attended the Fenty Hair launch party in a monochromatic look accessorized with

and skirt with ruby and diamond jewelry by Sabyasachi,

Monochromatic outfits, particularly in red,

With the vibrant color being synonymous with the holiday season, it’s a
natural choice for parties and festive gatherings.
By also accessorizing with ruby jewelry (à la Rihanna) you can add a touch of luxury to even the simplest of separates.
Unlike your grandmother’s precious jewels, today’s ruby designs are being

Rubies are often referred to as the ‘king of gemstones’ and their vibrant color – caused by the presence of chromium – is often associated with passion, love, and power.
The name ‘ruby’ comes from the Latin word ‘ruber’ which means red.
Rubies are incredibly sought after for their beauty and durability, they
are ranked 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness (qualitative scale that measures the relative hardness of minerals and other materials by their resistance to scratching), second to diamonds.
Beyond their sparkle and strength, they have held
cultural significance for centuries.
Throughout history, rubies have been associated with nobility and wealth,
often adorning the crowns of kings and queens. They are
also believed to bring good fortune and protection to their wearer.
According to Melee the Show founders Lauren Wolf and Rebecca Overmann, ruby jewelry is
on the rise.
The fine jewelry trade show connects buyers and designers, with the next shows taking place in New York (February 1-3) and Tucson (February 5-7).
‘From bold gemstones to intricate craftsmanship, our designers bring rubies
to life in ways that inspire and captivate,
‘ said the duo.
Anthony Lent, Fannie Thomas, Heather Guidero, Jake
Matluck, Amali, Karin Jacobson, Marian Maurer and Ciara Bowles are some of
the exhibiting designers who work with rubies.

Australian politicians are almost always opting to fly with
Qantas on taxpayer-funded trips, despite Virgin offering cheaper tickets.
Federal MPs flew with the national carrier for 80 per cent
of work trips last year despite it not always being the cheapest route,
according to travel data provided to the government.
While politicians and their staffers are required to book the cheapest
flight, it also has to be the most efficient, with Qantas offering the
most routes between major cities.
MPs are banned from accruing frequent flyer points on taxpayer-funded trips like ordinary Aussies can, but they can can receive lifetime status credits, which allows
access to airport lounges and flight upgrades.
‘How else can one explain the extraordinary dominance of
Qantas in securing bookings by parliamentarians and their staff?’ Myriam
Robin wrote in an opinion piece for the Australian Financial
Review.
‘There’s nothing like accruing status credits on someone else’s dime.’
Transport Minister Catherine King has since committed to a review of flight bookings by
government officials which will be conducted by the Department of Finance this
year, despite there being just two months left of 2024.
Politicians’ preference for Qantas may also be put down to the airline’s exclusive invite-only ‘Chairman’s
Lounge’.

EXCLUSIVE
The Flying Kanga-RORT – why you’re footing the bill as airlines wine and dine pollies in VIP club
Daily Mail Australia in August revealed that nearly every single federal politician in the
country has accepted free membership of the club.
Qantas and the Albanese government have both denied the
airline enjoys any disproportionate level
of influence over the country’s political classes.
A Daily Mail Australia audit of the members’ interest registers – in both the House of Representatives and the Senate – revealed almost 93 per cent of
the nation’s leaders have been ‘gifted’ membership to the lavish, all-inclusive lounge.
The high profile ranks of government giftees include Prime Minister Anthony Albanese as well
as every member of his 22-person Cabinet, his seven-person Outer Ministry and all 12 assistant ministers.
While most politicians declared their Qantas’ privileges as
a ‘gift’, Labor MP Marion Scrymgour listed her membership as her
‘Chairman Lounge entitlement’.
Daily Mail Australia in August revealed that nearly every single federal
politician in the country has accepted free membership of Qantas’ exclusive Chairman’s Lounge.
And it’s not just politicians on the take, with more than 60 MPs – including Marles,
Chalmers, King, Bill Shorten, Zali Steggall and Tanya Plibersek – disclosing their
spouses have also been granted unfettered, independent
access to Qantas’ luxurious members only lounge.
Often touted as ‘the most exclusive club in the country’, membership
to the Chairman’s Lounge has long been veiled in secrecy.
Even the entrances to each of the country’s six opulent VIP clubs –
in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra and Perth airports –
are suitably discreet.
Though, once inside, the designer lounges
are immediately more ostentatious, with free à la carte fine dining, table
service, a decadent selection of wines and Champagne and a discreet army of
dedicated lounge attendants.
Membership to the club is ‘priceless’ – it cannot be bought
for any amount of money nor obtained via any amount of frequent
flyers points.
Instead, each member is hand-picked and approved
by the company’s chief executive and chairman.

The days when we were all content to sip from a fat-lipped,
sturdy, intelligent wineglass is over.
Maximilian Riedel, the 11th new release of famed Riedel glassmaker and CEO of Riedel Crystal the united states, likes to name those ‘joker glasses,’ and he has a point.
We most likely shouldn’t be sipping excellent wine from utilitarian vessels.
Preaching the gospel of making use of suitable stemware, Mr.
Riedel is indeed a true believer. Rightfully so, his household company is responsible for whatever a
revolution within the wineglass business.
Yet this begs the question, does the wine glass matter that so much?
A certain lot within the community will have you believe
that the shape of a wineglass has no effect on the taste you the wine being savoured.
This, for the wine loving community is nothing but a grave sin.
After years and years of wine tasting, connoisseurs have an unanimous
opinion and that has been well known and accepted- the perfect wineglass is the perfect
companion for the perfect wine.
But which wineglasses to buy?
Do a small experiment: pour your favourite wine in a coffee cup, a rocks glass and an excellent wine stem.
You will experience the fullest from the thin-lipped, svelte profile of a suitable
wineglass that makes it possible for swirling, considering air is wine’s excellent friend.
If your wine is stuffed right into a tiny bowl,
an oddly formed mug or, a pink Solo cup, good, you’ll fail to
notice the nuances in aroma and style.
But, most of us cannot afford to buy a wineglass for each grape varietal (currently
Riedel presents wineglasses for everything from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir to Riesling
and Cabernet Sauvignon). So we suggest buy the varietal specific glass of the varietal you enjoy the
most. When you love Pinot Noir, buy a Pinot Noir glass, for instance.
The other trick is to Spend approx. The same amount of money per glass that you simply do to your bottle of wine.
It has been said that drinking bubbles from a wide-mouthed wineglass as it enhances
the experience completely.
Andrea Robinson, sommelier for Delta Air
strains, grew so frustrated with the ‘which stem for what wine’ dialog that she got down to make The
ONE-one excellent stem for all reds and one ideal
stem for all whites. Robinson spent over three
years constructing the prototypes for her glasses. After years of tastings
and research, Robinson concluded that the 2 nice shapes to begin from had been Pinot Noir
glasses for reds and Sauvignon Blanc glasses for whites.
Riedel puts some love into every wine glass they make.
It’s slightly lavish and overly scientific, however
the enthusiasts find it irresistible. “We see glass as an instrument designed to highlight specifics from the DNA of all grape varieties. Our stems are designed in style workshops, now not on computer systems or on a drawing pad.” Maximilian likes
to point out. Riedel confesses to having a favourite stem-and for
good rationale. “My favourite glass has an emotional connection; it’s the first varietally specified glass ever created (with the aid of my grandfather), a pinot noir glass (the Riedel Sommeliers Burgundy Grand Cru / Pinot Noir Wine Glass)which holds 37 oz., greater than a single bottle. His different fave? The Vinum Excel which used to be at first developed to compliment Oregon Pinot Noir. “i admire this shape for many causes; it’s a multi-tasking glass.
Even the cellar grasp at Dom Perignon uses it for their rose old Champagnes.”
In India, wine sommeliers and enthusiasts have slowly yet steadily taken up the daunting task of introducing the concept of wineglasses affecting the taste of wine.
For a long time, people were content with buying one standard flute or broad shaped glass and that was that. But with the advent of regular exchange of information and the constant need to maximise the experiences of luxury, it was but little surprise that wine glasses and their variety would slowly found their place in India as well.
At present there are as many stem options as there are wines. Schott Zwiesel’sTritan line boasts a floor finish supposed to fortify the wineglass-ideal for keeping inebriated social gathering-goers from breaking the glasses. They are also promoting a completely new tasting glass called ‘Airome’, which in keeping with the website is “a built-in aroma wave, ” designed to enable extra space within the glass for the wine to breathe.
Nowadays you can get wine glasses in India from a variety of places, be it your local lifestyle store or a chic global boutique in a quaint location in town. But Wine aficionados find ordering online the best solution. A wide array of websites sells wineglasses in India. Not only are they well stocked but also offer the necessary variety a connoisseur looks for.
It is also possible to buy original Riedel wineglass series online. But locally crafted wine glasses within India are nothing short of perfection themselves. The craftsmanship is boast-worthy and the experience, in no way, falls short.
The constant talk about whether all the pain of choosing the right wine glass is worth it or not, is simply put to rest with time and experience. Once you start enjoying and admiring the variety of wine, the point about the glasses automatically slip into the conversation.
Certainly, the talk these days is extra about which stem one will have to buy and whether or not longer the wine stem will have an impact on the type of wine. As is so quite often the case with the fruit of the vine, that reply is personal. Riedel has been known to sum up when asked what each good wine stem should have, and he went on to say “excellent wine to share.” Oh, and the foremost rule of them all? Wash the wine glasses the next day, now not after you’ve emptied the bottle. Visit wine & Beer Glasses
The highest total in “How Grand Is Your Total” is over
900,000…
The New Deal.

Terrifier 3 star David Howard Thornton has broken his silence on the low-budget horror film demolishing $200m flop
Joker: Folie à Deux at the box office.
The grisly film – made for about $2 million – stars Thornton as homicidal clown Art
who brutally murders an array of victims in stomach churning scenes – with the film knocking the
starry Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga film off the top of the US box office last week.
Thornton said the runaway success of his film had left him stunned as he likened to
battle of the two films to ‘David vs Goliath.’
He told TMZ: ‘Terrifier 3 was a small lower budget independent film…
I never expected this to happen in my life, I’m floored and
grateful for it all.
‘We’re grateful to the fans, we have a dedicated fanbase, we weren’t
beholden to the studio system.

Terrifier 3 dethrones Joker: Folie À Deux as box office champ
‘This shows Hollywood that we need to start making movies that take risks again.
The star said he had yet to see the panned Joker sequel,
saying: ‘I was shocked too as the first Joker film I loved, I’m
curious to see why people aren’t as crazy about the second one.’
Terrifier 3, written and directed by Damien Leone, is an un-rated blood fest,
which has received a 78-percent rating from the critics on Rotten Tomatoes.
Audiences have ‘certified’ it ‘hot’ and given it a healthy 90-percent on the popcornmeter.
The film earned $18.3 million at the box office according to The Numbers.
Landing in third place was Joker: Folie à Deux.
After winning the box office competition during its debut weekend
could not overcome the bad reviews, enduring an 82-percent decline in ticket sales.
The movie collected only $7.055 million, in spite of being in more than four thousand theaters across the US.

The musical is ‘poised to lose at least $150 million to $200 million in its
theatrical run’ according to the publication.
The movie studio spent about $200 million to produce the film and about $100 million on marketing and distribution, according to the report.
It would need to gross about $450 million at the box office to break even — when factoring in the cut taken by theaters
— though Warner Bros. sources claim the number is $375 million.
A Warner Bros. spokesperson responded to the report, saying ‘Any estimates suggested by anonymous “insiders” or “rival executives” are grossly wrong and continues a trend where rumor
is reported as fact.’
‘The film continues to play in theatrical release, included
with this week’s opening in China, and will continue to
earn revenue throughout its home viewing and ancillary run.’
So far, the musical about Batman’s nemesis has grossed $51.5 million domestically and $165 million globally after
two weeks of release.
The film is ‘poised to lose at least $150 million to
$200 million in its theatrical run’ according to the publication
In comparison, the first Joker grossed $96.2
million domestically and $248.4 million globally after three days of release.
The hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2019 billion dollar Oscar-winning film
was considered a surefire hit for Warner Bros Pictures,
yet ended up being slammed by critics and failed to
ignite at the box office.
Joker: Folie À Deux has garnered the lowest CinemaScore in comic book
movie history as the film bombed at the box office on opening night.

Briton Matthew Smith, the partner of former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO
Michael Jeffries, leaves court in Central
Islip, New York on December 3, 2024
The partner of the ex-CEO of the Abercrombie and Fitch clothing line pleaded not guilty Tuesday in US federal court to charges of sex trafficking and interstate prostitution and
was released on $10 million bond.
Briton Matthew Smith, the ex-CEO Mike Jeffries and their fixer James Jacobson allegedly used a “casting couch” ploy to groom aspiring male models
to attend sex parties at which victims were plied
with alcohol and drugs.
After his arrest in October in Florida with Jeffries, Smith was held in custody
in New York. Smith appeared in court Tuesday in Central Islip on Long Island, to the east of New York City.
Smith pleaded not guilty and was released on a $10 million bond put up by Jeffries and his family, said a statement from
the US attorney’s office for the eastern district of New York.
An AFP photographer saw Smith leave the courthouse with what appeared
to be a large electronic surveillance bracelet attached to
his ankle.
Le Britannique Matthew Smith, compagnon de l’ancien patron de l’enseigne américaine de mode Abercrombie & Fitch, Michael
Jeffries, sort du tribunal fédéral de l’est de l’Etat de New York,
à Central Islip, le 3 décembre 2024, après avoir plaidé non coupable de
trafic sexuel et proxénétisme
Another hearing is scheduled for December 10 for Smith, Jeffries and Jacobson.
Jeffries, 80, was released on a $10 million bond in late October.
Jeffries, who served as CEO of Abercrombie and Fitch from 1992 to
2014, is accused of creating and maintaining a ring that recruited young men to have sex with him and Smith.
Prosecutors allege that between December 2008 and March 2015 Jeffries, Smith and Jacobson used a combination of “force, fraud and coercion” to traffic men in a sprawling prostitution enterprise.
Charging documents detail 15 anonymous victims, but prosecutors suggest the scale was probably much larger and have appealed for
witnesses and victims to come forward.
Prosecutors say young men were taken to the New York home of Jeffries and Smith and
to hotels in Britain, France, Italy, Morocco to have sex with them.
Jeffries faces the prospect of life in prison if convicted.
Jacobson also pleaded not guilty to the same charges as the other
defendants and was released on half a million dollars bond in October.

Vape is far safer than IQOS, in a vape you only have nicotine flavorings VG and PG.
In IQOS you have tobacco and all of the same chemicals added that are added to cigarettes
July 23 (Reuters) – Philip Morris International pushed the test-launch of its heated tobacco device, IQOS, in the U.S.
to the fourth quarter on Tuesday and lowered its
annual forecast for the heated tobacco business.
The pilot was earlier scheduled to run in Austin, Texas, in the second quarter, for
which the company reported results on the day.
The company declined to comment on why the launch had been delayed.
Philip Morris has invested billions to promote and expand its portfolio
of alternatives to traditional combustible cigarettes amid stricter regulations and
falling smoking rates in some markets.
The launch of its flagship heated tobacco device in the United States is also facing resistance from health campaigners,
who have written to regulators in the country accusing the company of misrepresenting past regulatory decisions, Reuters reported
last week.
The company also awaits market authorization from the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration for its IQOS ILUMA device, which it expects
by the second half of 2025.
A ban on flavored heated tobacco in the European Union has already
hit shipments this year, with Philip Morris saying the impact from the ban was “slightly greater” than previously assumed.
This led the company to temper its expectations for volume growth in the heated tobacco category to around 13% for
the full year, down from between 14% and 16% expected earlier.
However, Philip Morris topped quarterly expectations and raised its annual sales and
profit forecasts, betting on demand for its Zyn nicotine pouches, as
well as higher cigarette pricing. (Reporting by Juveria Tabassum and Emma Rumney; Editing by

VILNIUS, Feb 21 (Reuters) – Lithuania’s tobacco regulator believes Philip Morris’s new electronic smoking device should be subject to the same advertising
restrictions as tobacco, potentially dealing a blow to a product the company has touted
as the future of smoking.
Although the tobacco giant only risks a fine of up to 2,896 euros ($3,560) if it is found guilty of breaching
Lithuanian advertising law, the case could have far-reaching consequences if it prompts regulators elsewhere to
follow suit.
The Lithuanian watchdog is challenging Philip Morris International Inc’s assertion that its iQOS device is an electronic product, and so should not be regulated like tobacco.
“After a six-month investigation, we could suspect that advertising of the iQOS device constitutes a possible indirect advertising of tobacco products, because this device can only be used to smoke tobacco products,” Jurgis
Kazlauskas, tobacco and alcohol control chief at the regulator, told Reuters.
The device, part of a $3 billion-plus investment by Philip
Morris in new-generation smoking platforms, is designed to heat tobacco to a high enough temperature to create a vapour but not smoke.
The firm says it is a novel device, different from other e-cigarettes that are often already subject
to regulations.
Kazlauskas said Philip Morris had been notified of its possible violation of Lithuanian advertising law, and that the regulator was
expected to issue its final ruling in a month.
Philip Morris representatives were not immediately available for comment.
The iQOS has been promoted extensively in Lithuania, and has stores on the main streets of its
largest towns.
The tobacco product used in the iQOS heating device, also sold by Philip Morris but branded as Heets, is already a subject to advertising restrictions similar to regular
cigarettes.
Earlier this month, ten U.S. senators called on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to
reject Philip Morris’s application to market the iQOS as less risky than cigarettes.
They cited a Reuters report in December that detailed shortcomings in the training and professionalism of some of the lead investigators in the
clinical trials submitted to the FDA by Philip Morris, the maker of Marlboro cigarettes.

Joker: Folie À Deux (15, 138 mins)
Verdict: Bold, brilliant sequel
Rating:
A Different Man (15, 112 mins)
Verdict: A touching satire
Rating:
Venice, a city long associated with masks and masquerades, was the perfect place to
unveil Joker five years ago; and last month, at the venerable film festival
there, it was followed by the sequel, Joker: Folie À Deux.
The director is again Todd Phillips, with Joaquin Phoenix once more in the title role, this time joined by
Lady Gaga as what I suppose we must call the love interest,
although that would undervalue her wonderful performance.
We’ve known since A Star Is Born in 2018 that she can act, but she
really is terrific in a bad-girl role. They’d have loved her at
St Trinian’s.
This film is audaciously different in style from the original, not as electrifying, but
bold and brilliant all the same.
Arthur is now behind bars, waiting to see whether he will be judged sane
enough to stand trial for murder, and in the meantime enjoying his celebrity status with fellow prisoners and even the warders, one of whom, a sadistic Irishman played by
Brendan Gleeson, feeds him cigarettes in return for jokes.
Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga in sequel Joker: Folie À Deux
Joaquin Phoenix in Joker: Folie a Deux – an American musical psychological thriller film directed by Todd Phillips
Joaquin Phoenix reprises his role as the Joker, with Lady Gaga joining
the cast as his love interest, Harley Quinn
Lady Gaga plays Lee, a fellow inmate on her
way, we suppose, to becoming Joker’s girlfriend Harley Quinn.
The pair hit it off at a music therapy class, and are soon mutually smitten, but Lee makes it
clear that she loves the dangerously charismatic Joker, ‘clown prince of crime’, not the gloomily introspective Arthur.

Megalopolis review: Coppola’s self-indulgent comeback may be a MEGAFLOPOLIS
Which is more real: the psychopath wearing the mask or the
vulnerable fellow behind it? Either way, identity confusion is the theme of this
film, which keeps being billed as a musical.
It’s not, really, although music looms large as an expression of Arthur
and Lee’s burgeoning love for one another. And
there are a couple of swooning dance routines that make them look like psychotic versions of Ryan Gosling and
Emma Stone in La La Land (2016).
Moreover, it is while watching Vincente Minnelli’s 1953 classic The Band Wagon that
Lee, who claims to have been imprisoned for arson, sets fire
to their prison wing.
The ensuing chaos provides an excellent opportunity to escape, yet Phillips and his co-writer
Scott Silver skilfully toy with our expectations throughout; each time we anticipate which way the narrative
is going to go, it confounds us by wheeling off in another direction.

For me, Joker was a near-masterpiece, and while this
sequel doesn’t scale those heady heights, it is still a gripping
film about mental illness, writes Brian Viner
Eventually, after Arthur’s high-profile TV appearance with a smug interviewer played by Steve Coogan,
it is time for the trial, with all of Gotham gripped by the subject of
multiple personality disorder. Is the defendant accused
of five murders Arthur, or is it Joker? His kindly lawyer (Catherine Keener) strives to
show it is the former; Lee just as urgently wants him to identify as his demonic alter ego.

His Three Daughters review: Savour this exquisite elegy to death and sisterhood, writes
BRIAN VINER
For me, Joker was a near-masterpiece, and while this sequel doesn’t scale those heady
heights, it is still a gripping film about mental illness; not quite comparable with all-time greats such as Psycho (1960) and One
Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest (1975), but not too far off.
– Joker’s Gotham, of course, is a lightly fictionalised version of
New York City. The real thing is the backdrop to A Different Man, another absorbing story, splendidly
written and directed by Aaron Schimberg, about
an urban loner struggling with life.
In the case of the troubled, self-conscious Edward (Sebastian Stan), an aspiring actor, that’s apparently because
he has a disfiguring craniofacial condition. Instructional corporate videos seem to be
about as far as he can get in the acting world.
There are obvious echoes of The Elephant Man (1980), and for that matter of recent release The Substance, in which Demi Moore’s
character, a former movie star ‘disfigured’ by a few wrinkles,
finds a way of transforming into her own younger self.
A still from the film A Different Man directed by Aaron Schimberg
Here, Edward is told by a doctor that ‘an alternative path has presented itself’.
In other words, medical science has found a way to reverse his condition, turning him into a perfectly attractive middle-aged man.
But Schimberg’s point, made with great satirical swagger, is that Edward, despite his radical
change in appearance, is still the same person underneath that he always was.
In his former condition he was befriended by his pretty, charismatic neighbour, Ingrid (Renate Reinsve), a playwright.
Now he is able to fall into bed with her, and to star in a play she has written about their relationship, little though she knows of his real
identity.
I was even reminded of Tootsie (1982) and Mrs Doubtfire (1993) as Edward’s new persona fundamentally fails to alter
who he actually is. This is illuminated by the arrival of
Oswald, an Englishman with the same condition Edward once had, but popular, witty, confident, and gloriously
played by Adam Pearson (who really does suffer from a disfiguring condition called neurofibromatosis).
Pearson is probably best-known for his debut film, Jonathan Glazer’s brilliant Under The Skin (2013).
Which is apt, because this picture, too, is about
what’s under the skin.

Paul Weller’s film debut? That’s entertainment!
The 68th London Film Festival opens next week with the
world premiere of Blitz, director Steve McQueen’s drama set in London as the Luftwaffe’s bombs rain down night
after night.
Saoirse Ronan, for my money one of the most talented actresses of
her generation, plays Rita, an East End mum whose son George (Elliott Heffernan) goes missing.
It sounds intriguing even without the casting of The Jam’s former front man Paul Weller — in his feature film debut — as Rita’s father.
I’m also very much looking forward to another world premiere,
Joy, the story of the three brilliant British medical pioneers whose work
on IVF led to the world’s first ‘test-tube’ baby, Louise Brown, in 1978.
Saoirse Ronan, Elliott Heffernan and Paul Weller in the film ‘Blitz’
It is directed by Ben Taylor, best-known for his TV work on shows such as Sex Education and Catastrophe, and stars Bill Nighy,
James Norton and Thomasin McKenzie.
I have heard great things about Conclave, the adaptation of Robert Harris’s
novel starring Ralph Fiennes and Stanley Tucci. A couple
of new documentaries catch the eye, too. One of them is made by actress Sadie
Frost, whose directing debut was a film about Mary
Quant. This time she turns to another fashion icon of the 1960s, with a feature
called Twiggy.
And Elton John: Never Too Late promises a
‘uniquely intimate’ look at the star’s life and career. It’s been made
by his long-time partner David Furnish, so… we’ll see.
