You could look forward to discovering great players and teams about whom you knew next to nothing. In 1986 my brother and I hoped the tournament would be all about some Hungarian called Zoltan Peter. Our reason was bad.All we knew about Peter was his name and his face because he seemed to be in every pack of Panini stickers we bought. Every time we removed that shiny wrapper there he was, seemingly mocking us with his Lego-man hairdo and the haunting expression of someone who knew there is no problem so grim it cannot be made worse.

pet Never Rarely Sometimes Always review – tough, realist abortion drama | Peter Bradshaw's film of the week By www.theguardian.com Published On :: 2020-05-07T06:00:27Z A teenager bonds awkwardly with her cousin as they take the bus from a rural community to New York so that she can have a terminationThe four words in this title are the four possible replies to bureaucratic tick-box questions about the frequency of your various sexual experiences. A young woman here must answer them, before she is allowed to have an abortion. However rigid and blandly routine it seems, the four-part answer grid is cleverly designed to get information about vulnerability: it is so easy instinctively and evasively to deny a difficult question structured as a yes/no, but much harder to check the “never” box, when “rarely”, “sometimes” and “always” are coolly offered as equivalently non-judgmental options.The lead character in Eliza Hittman’s tough, realist drama is confronted with this central, four-part inquisition about her life in one brilliantly controlled, enigmatic scene. Theoretically, it is just a bit of form-filling that doesn’t appear to promise any real revelation to the audience. Yet it does just that, delivering a penny-drop moment of realisation. Or perhaps it’s more of an ambiguous hint and all the more disquieting for that. Related: Sleazy bosses, exploited barmaids: US cinema finally discovers the left behinds Continue reading...

pet Contest Scam Alert: Legaia Books Online Book Competition By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Fri, 17 Apr 2020 16:45:00 +0000 Posted by Victoria Strauss for Writer Beware® When is a literary contest not a literary contest?When its purpose is to make money for the contest sponsor. Alternatively: when its purpose is to assemble a list of likely customers.Take the online book competition (or book literary contest, or books competition--it doesn't seem to have an actual name) recently announced by Legaia Books, a publishing and marketing scam I've featured on this blog. Here's one of the solicitation emails that are going out:Sound tempting? Here are all the reasons to kick this "contest" to the curb.1. Legaia is a scam. This company--which claims a North Carolina address but really operates out of the Philippines--exists to rip off authors. That's really all the reason you need to give this contest a miss...but let's move on.2. It's a scam within a scam. Legaia's contest has all the elements of a profiteering awards program--a different kind of scam, whose template Legaia is borrowing as a way to make some quick bucks and boost its customer list. Here are the markers:Solicitation. See the email above.A fat entry fee. You have to dig into the contest guidelines to find this: $40 for entries now, $70 for entries after May 11.Policies designed to maximize entries. Most profiteering awards programs offer dozens or scores of entry categories, in order to attract the largest number of entrants and thus the biggest pot of entry fees. Legaia's contest doesn't have categories--but it's "open to all aspiring and established authors", which, combined with what is doubtless a sizeable email solicitation campaign (Legaia is a prolific spammer), is basically the same thing.Mystery judging. The prestige of a literary competition is tied, in part, to the reputability of its judges. If the judges' identities aren't revealed, you have no way to know whether they have any credits or experience that would qualify them to be judges. They could be just the contest sponsor's own staff--or no one at all. Legaia's guidelines include multiple mentions of "judges" but, in true scam contest style, no names.Opportunities to spend more money. This is where entrants' email addresses--which are required for entry--come in handy; non-winners will almost certainly be solicited to buy Legaia's publishing packages and other services. (Contest guidelines also invite entrants without a book cover to "call us for a professional book cover.")Worthless prizes. Profiteering contest sponsors avoid cutting into entry fee income by offering "prizes" that cost them little or nothing to provide. Legaia is no exception. Given that its services are overpriced and substandard, a "Free Book Publication Coupon" is more like a lump of coal than a Christmas present. The "Seal Awards" aren't actual seals--just digital images. Winners are promised a "pitch program" that will expose them to "literary offices and film productions"--despite the fact that Legaia can't cite a single "literary office" or film studio that has ever picked up a book thanks to its (likely nonexistent) efforts. As for the "Marketing Platform worth $15,000"...Legaia offers only junk marketing ("marketing" that's cheap to provide, can be sold for giant markups, and is not effective for book promotion), so the actual worth is closer to zero. 3. You have to work. In addition to submitting "your (a) manuscript, (b) synopsis, (c) book cover (front and full)" the contest guidelines indicate that there will be a public voting phase (see #7 and #8), which means you will have to bug your friends and family and annoy your social media followers with multiple vote-grubbing posts and announcements. Additionally, you must create a "pitch to the judges" which is "one of the criteria in the second phase of the contest as indicated in Rule 8". You have the option of making a video or using Legaia's "Free Pitch Template," whatever that is; the guidelines offer no guidance on length, content, or anything else.4. Nobody has heard of it. The supposed benefits of a contest win or placement are often touted by sketchy contests or awards as one of the benefits of entering (not to mention a justification of a big entry fee). You'll be able to tag your book as an "award-winning book" and yourself as an "award-winning author". It'll impress agents and editors! It'll bring visibility to your work! It'll increase sales!Most contests, however, don't have the prestige or name recognition to accomplish any of that. Agents and editors are well aware of how many dodgy contests are out there competing for writers' money; "I won Grand Prize in this contest you never heard of!" is unlikely to impress them. As for readers and book buyers, how much they care about award and contest wins is an open question--especially, again, where they've never heard of the award or contest. Is it worth $40 (or $70) to you to test that question?5. A serious lack of literacy. Both the email solicitation reproduced above and the contest pages on the Legaia website are littered with grammatical and other errors (like its many brethren--see the sidebar--Legaia is based overseas). This really shouldn't need saying, but the sponsors of an English-language contest for English-language books should be able to demonstrate a good command of English.Any one of these factors should be enough to at least cause you to give this contest the side-eye. Taken all together, they add up to a giant, screaming red flag.My own feeling about literary contests is that they are mostly a waste of time (even if not of money). Scams and exploitation abound in this space (if you're a regular reader of this blog, you know how many posts I write about problem contests). Even where the contest is legit and doesn't have "gotchas" in its guidelines, those that can genuinely benefit your writing resume are a tiny minority. Again in my opinion, writers' time is better spent on publishing or submitting for publication.That said...if you still are attracted by contests, there are resources on the Contests and Awards page of Writer Beware to help you research ones that won't rip you off. Also be sure to use the search box in the sidebar to search this blog for any contests I may have written about, and feel free to email me with questions. Full Article

pet Hayley Williams: Petals for Armor review – one of the year's biggest revelations By www.theguardian.com Published On :: 2020-05-09T13:00:01Z (Atlantic)This solo debut from the frontwoman of pop-punk stadium stars Paramore is a riot of lust, funk and femininityMaturity is an often derided concept in a youth-facing art form. But when Simmer, a song about repressed feminist rage buoyed by creepy electronics – the lead track from Hayley Williams’s debut solo album – was released in January, it signalled an intriguing sea change in an artist previously known as a bouncy, flame-haired emo cheerleader.The story of how Hayley Williams, now 31, went from leading angsty emo shoutalongs in the Tennessee pop-punk band Paramore to releasing these startling songs about rage, femininity and suicidal thoughts is one of the knottier yarns in contemporary American guitar music. Her trio-of-EPs album is now complete, with the final EP – and a physical album uniting all three – released last Friday. Continue reading... Full Article Pop and rock Music Culture

pet Petals For Armor By www.mychemicalromance.com Published On :: Sat, 09 May 2020 08:39:40 +0000 This album shook me to my core. From the day simmer was released to present day, where the album has been out for over 24 hours it's meant the world to me. Hayley said herself that this was about her, and how not everyone was going to be able to relate to all the songs, but I relate to pretty much all of them and they all resonate deeply within my soul. There is no bad song on the album. Talking about a few song (not all): Watch Me As I Bloom is actually starting to motivate me (something that happens once in a blue moon). It hasn't fully motivated me yet, but with more plays I have a feeling it will. I can perfectly imagine that as a closer to her shows, and feels like a great wrap up to the album's symbolism so the final song can be relaxed and beautiful The lyrics with Simmer mean the world to me (my mom actually wants to get one of the lyrics tattooed, and she doesn't have any tattoos) and the song sounded so different and unique. It was a perfect song to lead the album. The music video, which lead to a three part series, was outstanding. Dead Horse was unapologetic with every single line, airing out everything from Hayley's last relationship. It's also one of the biggest bops on the album I really slept on Why We Ever. I don't know why, but it took the full album to be out in order for me to fully appreciate it. The way it transitions into the pure piano speaks to my soul Sugar On The Rim is vouge at it's finest and I expect a mosh pit of gays at every show not hitting each other and just vouging. Not to mention Hayley's lower register really comes out, which I love. The flower theme throughout the whole process was amazing, and I'm absolutely living for it. I truly believe that there is nothing Hayley can't do and I am completely in love with her and her music. I want to talk about more songs but this is already really long so I'm going to leave it off here. This album is a 10/10 and I need it on vinyl haha Full Article Blog
