Download or read book Fin written by Gilli Bloodaxe and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2015-08-28 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Bloodaxe’s work is full of everyday absurdities and skewed observations. From his eulogy to a chav, to the clever word play of Tarzan wrestling with “complex grammar” in the middle of Dudley, Bloodaxe’s ludicrous scenarios never fail to entertain. This is beat poetry without the pretension, and Bloodaxe’s work is reminiscent of a mash-up between Spike Milligan, Edward Lear and Brian Patten, but with its own unique Yorkshire approach. While most of the poems are short and pithy, his mini-opus, The Bitchling Deacon, has an almost Joycean epic feel about it, with fantastical characters visiting the races and running manically across The South Downs. Thoroughly recommended …. “ Tim Pilcher & Sue Bradley, Brighton Festival Fringe Review “Ace manipulator of words and music, the indefinable Gilli Bloodaxe…I was astonished by it…amazing little stories…He’s a real find, old Gilli Bloodaxe.” Ian Macmillan This is the first time these poems have been published on the page. They are usually performed over an intensely annoying background of music made up by Bloodaxe’s long-time collaborators Foz and Astra Chan. They should not be taken seriously, or used to set personal goals or objectives without the advice of a qualified life coach. Fin has been beautifully illustrated by Lily Morgan

Download or read book Rushmore written by Kristi Irene McKim and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-10-05 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earning critical acclaim and commercial success upon its 1998 release, Rushmore-the sophomore film of American auteur Wes Anderson-quickly gained the status of a cult classic. A melancholic coming-of-age story wrapped in comedy drama, Rushmore focuses on the efforts of Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman)-a brazen and precocious fifteen-year-old-to find his way. Restless, energetic, struggling, and overcompensating for his insecurities, Max pursues a dizzying range of possible futures, leading him into the orbit of local steel magnate Herman Blume (Bill Murray), elementary school teacher Rosemary Cross (Olivia Williams), and a host of cooperative schoolmates who help him to stage lavish film-derivative plays. Kristi McKim's compelling study of the film argues that despite the film's titular call for haste and excess (rush/more), it challenges a drive toward perfectionism and celebrates the quiet connections that defy such passion and speed. After establishing Rushmore's history and reception, McKim closely reads Rushmore's energetic musical montages relative to slower moments that introduce tenderness and ambiguity, in a form subtler than Max's desire-built drive or genre-based plays. Her analysis offers an urgent corrective to what might be perceived as an endearing portrait of privilege that perpetuates a status quo power. Drawing out Rushmore's subtleties that soften, temper, ease, expand, and equalize the film's zeal, she reads the film with a generosity learned from the film itself.
