Good Afternoon Peoplz!!

Today I went to see Shake&Stirs “1984”. Absolutely Amazing at how hard they work on that stage. You can see that they strain to reach those high standards! However I did feel a little sick at certain pionts due to some horrific scenes, therefore leaving me with a headache as i left the theatre…

Blurb:

Oceania; a Nation perpetually at war, where cameras watch every move and Thought Police roam the streets. A place Winston Smith calls home.
 
By day, Winston is an editor at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history to align the past with the radical political agenda of the ruling party and its illusive leader, Big Brother.

By night, Winston pursues a forbidden love affair with the mysterious Julia in an attempt to rebel against the oppressive regime set down by the party and maintain some control over his otherwise totally controlled life.

When Winston and Julia are discovered, they are violently separated, detained and prepared for conversion. Locked in the Ministry of Love and interrogated by the quietly terrifying O’Brien, Winston is beaten, manipulated and subjected to sickening torture in an attempt to make him reject dreams of liberation and understand that free thought and logic is the only true enemy.

From the team that brought you the sold out season of Animal Farm, this new stage adaptation brings George Orwell’s final novel screaming into the present. Strap yourself in for this terrifically frightening theatrical event featuring a cast of some of Queensland’s most acclaimed artists, set against a dynamic digital backdrop. This production is sure to stun as it contemplates the ultimate crime against humanity – the total destruction of truth, freedom and individuality in favor of surveillance, obedience and conformity.

Nice Guys Finish Last: Obsessive Behavior in “Twilight” and “Phantom of the Opera”

I’d like to begin this post with a disclaimer: I’m basing this analysis on a combination of the Twilight book and film, and solely the most recent film version of Phantom of the Opera. It’s been six years since I’ve read Twilight, and about ten years since I’ve read Phantom of the Opera. Many details are quite fuzzy.

That being said, after watching several episodes of Stalkers this morning, as well as Phantom of the Opera, I noticed that not only in literature, but also in films and often in real life, women are drawn to powerful, obsessive, emotionally and sometimes physically abusive men. Admittedly, this is my number one problem with the Twilight series–that and it’s awful writing, but that’s another story altogether.

It wasn’t until today that I discovered that the Phantom may be just as creepy as Edward. He kidnaps Christine Daae, abuses her, manipulates…
