In the months leading up to this, sporadic glitches are noticed by a handful of unconnected humans-a single mother disconcerted by her daughter's menacing "smart" toys, a lonely Japanese bachelor who is victimized by his domestic robot companion, an isolated U.S. Taking on the persona of a shy human boy, a childlike but massively powerful artificial intelligence known as Archos comes online and assumes control over the global network of machines that regulate everything from transportation to utilities, defense and communication.

And Gabriel must find answers, or Pale Harbor will suffer a fate worthy of Poe's darkest tales. Sophronia must be a witch, and she almost certainly killed her husband.Īs the incidents escalate, one thing becomes clear: they are the work of a twisted person inspired by the wildly popular stories of Mr. Strange, unsettling things have been happening, and the townspeople claim that only one person can be responsible: Sophronia Carver, a reclusive widow who lives with a spinster maid in the eerie Castle Carver. Gabriel Stone is desperate to escape the ghosts that haunt him in Massachusetts after his wife's death, so he moves to Maine, taking a position as a minister in the remote village of Pale Harbor.īut not all is as it seems in the sleepy town. And from there, the possibilities are endless. But when we submit our minds to Christ, the promises and goodness of God flood our lives in remarkable ways. Our enemy is determined to get into our heads to make us feel helpless, overwhelmed, and incapable of making a difference for the kingdom of God. In Get Out of Your Head, a six-session video-based Bible study, Jennie inspires and equips us to transform our emotions, our outlook, and even our circumstances by taking control of our thoughts. Freedom comes when we refuse to be victims to our thoughts and realise we have already been equipped with power from God to fight and win the war for our minds. However, Jennie also knows that we do not have to stay stuck in toxic thinking patterns.Īs she discovered in her own life, God built a way for us to escape that downward spiral. "Other people have better lives than I do".

Oh, that Jane Austen where with us today, I would pay exorbitant sums of money to instead read her notes on this screenplay because the takedown would be delicious. In the case of Netflix’s adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic 1817 work Persuasion, the movie instead reeks of some executive who determined women still love that “Austen chick” and that Fleabag woman, so why not mush them together with “hot actors” in fancy clothes? Directed by Carrie Cracknell and adapted by screenwriters Ronald Bass and Alice Victoria Winslow, their version of Persuasion has the gorgeous Dakota Johnson transforming the inherently mousy character of Anne Elliot into a boozy, weepy, and unabashedly charming spinster who constantly shares her inner thoughts straight to the camera as she still pines for the man who got away. When it comes to adapting a classic novel to film, there’s a pretty easy formula to abide by in terms of retaining value: it should strive to at least understand, and hopefully, appreciate the soul of what makes it worth adapting in the first place. There is growing internal pressure within the company for a wider release of this film and PUBLIC FAN PRESSURE may help to push this decision over the edge. Midnight Meat Train represents the kind of horror film that audiences have been dying for!!! It is clearly not healthy for investor relations to dump a movie that has a vocal and dedicated audience.

The Secret Barrister: The Twitter account and blog were actually the brainchild of my partner, who, having patiently sat through yet another evening of my post-work spleen-venting, suggested that I start a Twitter account and companion blog to share my experiences with the wider public (or, to quote them directly, with “anyone but me”). In an exclusive conversation, The Secret Barrister outlines to The Legal 500’s Publishing Director David Burgess, why the book was written and what impact is has had.ĭavid Burgess: For those lawyers around the world who don’t know much about you, explain why you launched ‘The Secret Barrister’ persona on Twitter. The real strength of the book is showing how access to justice in the UK has become more and more removed from the most vulnerable in society.
