![]() Jamie Clayton may be a female Pinhead, but the character is presented as largely androgynous and has this ethereal menace which works very well. Maybe the whole recovering-drug-addict-as-horror-protagonist-so-film-is-a-metaphor-for-addiction angle is just played out by now. If you compare this to Frank and his sister-in-law/lover, contrasted with the innocent Kirsty as the characters of the original film, there’s not a lot to hang onto here. There’s nothing I can really point to that’s wrong about it, and the first hour of this film is largely character development with very little horror action, as that’s all backloaded into the second half of the film. ![]() On a story and character level, I just didn’t connect with the film. The only thing we don’t know are the details in what makes this new mythology different from the ones of the original series, and how it all ties into a billionaire art collector who owns the box at the time of their theft. Since we know we’re watching a Hellraiser movie, we basically already know the mystery. I guess the whole “It is not hands that call us, it is desire” angle from Hellraiser II is no longer in play.įor our human characters, we get a recovering drug addict and her boyfriend who initially steal the box from a storage container, but then events happen causing the death of the protagonist’s brother, and thus a journey to discover the nature of the box and if her brother can be saved. So, our structure is built wherein one by one people either solve the box, or get cut by the box, so the Cenobites can claim them and do their deeds. Once enough sacrifices have solved the box, it will reach its final configuration, and a prize of sorts will be awarded to whomever is left holding the box at the end. In this film, the puzzle box has a number of different “stages”, and which each stage is solved a blade will pop out to extract blood from the solver, and lead the Cenobites to take that person and do their normal sex-torture stuff to them, though this film doesn’t lean into the whole “pain and pleasure indivisible” angle as I would have liked, even if it’s more explicit here than in many of the prior entries. In this case, we have a different mythology added to the puzzle box and the cenobites. The basic story here is decent too, except that it’s yet another attempt to graft a slasher formula onto the Hellraiser body. After a bunch of boring and ugly DTV entries in the series, this at least looks like a feature film again with nice lighting and color temperatures and production design. This is a very stylish and good-looking film, coming from director David Bruckner who previously made The Night House. While this new film corrects many missteps the series has taken, it still feels weirdly safe and polished for the subject matter. Starting with the mainstreaming of the series with part 3, there’s been a morphing of this series into a slasher box it doesn’t quite fit in. Those first two films felt like they could take you anywhere, into realms that are otherwise taboo or too BDSM-like for any other horror series. ![]() Sure, there’s good gore, and the Cenobite designs are cool and gnarly, but something that’s been missing from the Hellraiser films since the second film in the series has been a sense of danger. My biggest takeaway from this new Hellraiser film is that it is simply not fucked up enough. Tavour strictly supports independent beer.Reviewer David Leninhawk returns with a look at the latest chapter in the Hellraiser universe. With Tavour, it's easy to beer it forward! Just head over to /gifts to send a gift box or gift card to the craft beer lover in your life. Adroit’s heavy-hitters like this one tend to disappear faster than shadows in darkness. The lucky few Virginians who’ve tasted it rave that Negation is “Probably the best Stout I've ever had that didn't have a lot added to it.” Or, in other words, it’s “ The kind of stout that keeps you coming back for more.”Ĭoming back for more won’t be an option unless you load up on plenty of Negation today. The complexity of this 12% ABV colossus is impressive, to say the least. Allow the brew to rest a while, and the booziness diminishes as the caramel notes grow stronger. Meanwhile, a boozy heat warms between subtle rucks of smooth caramel that punctuate the chewy pour. With every motor oil-thick sip, formidable flavors of dark chocolate energized by splashes of blonde-roast coffee notes dominate the taste buds. The Virginia brewers are renowned for pushing the limits of how bold beer can be, and for having releases sell-out via pre-sales before they’re even finished brewing.Īnd, let me tell you, Negation (Ghost 933) is so bold and craveworthy, I’m shocked we managed to get any! When the Dukes of Dark Beer at Adroit Theory release a new rendition of their Negation Russian Imperial Stout, I can’t just sit around and twiddle my thumbs.

I think this fragrance would do alright in any season. I would be more inclined to wear this in the fall/winter months, but that's really just a personal thing. Do use a light hand though, as more than a couple sprays will start to knock people out - the EDT is potent!

I can detect a hint of strawberry juice in the dry down, but it is a strawberry in the vein of cotton candy, rather than fruit salad.ĭespite all this talk of chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla, this is no tween scent. you guessed it, a fruity floral! It really doesn't smell anything like a fruity floral though. Anyway, the listed notes are blackberry, strawberry, black currant, bilberry, rose, jasmine, sandalwood and rosewood, which would make it. Which is nice, because I usually hate vanilla, so I'm not sure why I'm loving this. This aggressiveness fades quickly, and then you're left with warm, casual sophistication.Īlthough I smell a vanilla/bakery note throughout, there is no actual vanilla in here. It's as close to a gourmand scent as I've ever liked: on first blast, it smells like a vanilla-chocolate martini at full strength. These are outfits that, in my opinion, call for a fragrance like Pink Butterfly: Instead of using words to describe this scent right away, let's try to do it using visuals. Which is how I ended up with a sample-sized bottle of Hanae Mori's Pink Butterfly. But my doctor says I need variety in my diet, which I chose to interpret as "go buy more (different) perfumes". *shudder*) Now, Paris' offering notwitsthanding, I don't think there's anything wrong with fruity florals - in fact, they can be downright lovely. I did only pay $20 for it, and I can't stand it now, but I did at one point wear it daily. All those faceless, mass-marketed Escada LE-type scents? I'm there. If you will recall, I am a fruity-florals kind of girl. So, you know how there's this stereotype out there that pregnant women crave crazy things like pickles and ice-cream, or ketchup sandwiches, and what-have-you? I don't know if that's actually true, having spent very little time around pregnant women.īut if changing tastes is what it's all about, maybe I do have a handle on what it's like to be preggers.

John Yoo: Whitaker’s appointment is unconstitutionalīut Friday marked his first oversight hearing on Capitol Hill. And then came his stint as a CNN commentator in 2017, during which he blasted Mueller and opined that his probe had “gone too far.” All of this received heavy scrutiny as the constitutional basis of his appointment was challenged in the courts.

But Whitaker was not the obvious replacement-he served for a few years as a U.S. President Donald Trump appointed Whitaker late last year to replace Jeff Sessions, whose recusal from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation in early 2017 was viewed by the president as an unforgivable betrayal. Nadler cracked a smile, but from that point on, the rules of engagement seemed clear: Whitaker, with just days remaining in his legally dubious role as the interim head of the Justice Department, appeared to be playing to an audience of one. attorney turned toilet salesman, told the House Judiciary Committee’s Democratic chairman, Jerry Nadler. “Your five minutes is up,” Matthew Whitaker, an ex–U.S. Though 501c3 groups can legally withhold the identity of their contributors and generally do so, there may be a distinct irony when a group dedicated to transparency keeps its funding sources in the shadows.It took about five minutes of questioning for the acting attorney general to provoke gasps and jeers in the congressional hearing room. There was no immediate reply to a request for comment from Whitaker made through the Justice Department. That group is a nonprofit built to give conservative and libertarian philanthropists “any level of privacy they want,” according to its marketing materials.Ī FACT spokesman declined to provide any details on donors or any on-the-record response to other questions. Whitaker’s foundation was initially formed and then primarily supported with funds from another organization called Donor’s Trust. Whitaker appeared to exert tight control over a three-person board of directors that included just one unsalaried member, according to the group’s IRS filings in 2015-16. Viola, a vice president at Charity Navigator.īorochoff suggested that Whitaker’s board of directors at FACT didn’t appear to be independent enough to apply the brakes on his campaign partisanship.

In 20, Whitaker earned a total of $654,000 from FACT - 30 percent of its entire spending of $2.2 million over that two-year span. The opinion pieces identified Whitaker as FACT’s leader. During the last presidential race, Whitaker argued in July 2016 newspaper opinion pieces that Clinton should be prosecuted for her handling of her private email server - a favorite talking point of Donald Trump.

I urge you to seek an understanding, perhaps a perspective other than your own. People will be different from you, some even opposed. All things have good and bad, positives and negatives, the way you perceive what you do is due to the life you have led. Respectful gun owners and proud Muslims make the exact same argument, but what is bigger than the argument is the concept - no one is right. We, the majority, are not the problem - it is the minority. But we cannot continue to yell at each other. I also see the devastation created by extremists. One mistake, and something, someone, could be dead. But the second my finger pulled the trigger, I felt the impact of what seemed like the “toy” I was playing with. ![]() They urged me to try it out, and for the experience I did. This is what was supposed to be “fun." I stared at the gun with goosebumps up and down my body as I watched her and all her friends pick up the pistol, throw up clay disks and sing along the country music in the background. When we arrived, she popped the trunk and there lied two pistols and clay disks. On one of the days during my visit, my friend took me out to one of the open spaces in Wyoming. Observing the things people would say about what was going on in the news, and about Muslims period, internally pulled me apart - I kept my mouth shut. I am Iranian by heritage, but I get away with racist comments due to my white complexion. A lot of people in Wyoming are also blind to diversity. People in Wyoming love guns, and shooting around is some peoples' favorite past time. Completely contrary to California, Wyoming is an extremely conservative state. This has made many people and even political figures jump to say we should kick all Muslims out of the United States due to their supposed “threat." This makes many Muslims and non-Muslims alike raise their eyebrows, for the majority of Muslim people are amazing, peaceful people.Ī month ago, I visited one of my best friends in Wyoming. This extremist group known as “ISIS” has caused severe harm to people all over the world, including Americans. Unfortunately, an uproar of extremist values pulled from a radicalized sector of Islam has shed some negative light on the religion as a whole. Americans have the RIGHT to exercise their faith in Islam. Billions of people across the world, and millions in America alone have found conviction in Prophet Muhammad, and found love and peace in Islam. There are hundreds of recognized, and many more unknown religions, present and practiced in America, Islam being one of the many. The first amendment in the Constitution of the United States of America grants ALL Americans the right to practice any religion, and PROHIBITS any laws impeding exercising any religion. Several Americans will shake their heads or riot in response to the idea of abolishing guns, for the truth of the matter is the majority do not use their guns to kill. The guns are what are killing our people, and it seems like it would be almost natural, common sense for legislators to abolish them! Yet, once again it is our RIGHT to bear arms. Regardless of where we place the blame, guns were designed to kill. From Sandy Hook to the recent attack in Orlando, we have had mass shootings - lives taken, families disturbed, all at the hands of guns. But over the past 10 years, our country has experienced nothing short of devastation. This is part of our constitution, we (Americans) CAN buy guns, thus making it just to own guns, and in some places, use guns. The second amendment of the United States of America states that Americans have “the right to bear arms." On that same note, millions of Americans across the country buy guns, for several purposes such as protection, hunting and so on. This may be an interesting approach to commence a discussion, as controversial as the one regarding guns and terrorism, but it is all connected.

The latter date has the support of Irenaeus 5 and Eusebius. Revelation may have been composed between AD 68–69 during the religious upheaval following the reign of the emperor Nero or around AD 95 during the reign of the emperor Domitian. Likely, his presence on Patmos was not for the purpose of proclaiming the word of God, but rather he had been exiled there as punishment by the state for preaching. John is further designated as a prophet (22:6, 9) who was residing on the island of Patmos in the eastern Aegean Sea, “because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus” (1:9 NASB). The author of Revelation “identifies himself as John, 3 a servant of God and spiritual brother to the members of the seven churches” (1:1, 4, 9 22:8). The following section is adapted from various entries in the Lexham Bible Dictionary. In the case of biblical revelation, God is the one who unveils what’s hidden-in his time (Prov 25:2). You know there’s something underneath the silver coating-but until you scratch it off, you can’t see the “prize” that’s waiting (a free soda or a million dollars). Think of a scratch-off game ticket, like a lottery ticket or the ones you get from a fast-food restaurant. apokalypsis) means “to expose in full view what was formerly hidden, veiled, or secret.” 2 In theology (the study of God), revelation refers to “God’s self-disclosure or manifesting of himself or things concerning himself and the world.” 1 The Lexham Bible Dictionary (LBD) says the term “revelation” (Gr. the act of revealing for the purpose of making something known.Tyndale Bible Dictionary says it refers to either: 18 allusions in the book of Revelation to the Old Testamentīefore unpacking details about the book of Revelation, we need to know what the word “revelation” means.John’s use of the Old Testament in Revelation.3 mistakes to avoid when reading and studying Revelation.6 quick tips for studying the book of Revelation.Approaches to interpreting the book of Revelation.How the Logos Bible app can help you study Revelation further.Key figures in the book of Revelation: the mark of the beast, Gog and Magog, the number 666, etc.Overview of the book of revelation: author, date of writing, audience, theme, etc.You can start at the beginning and read to the end or jump to the topics that interest you. Keep reading to do a deeper dive into critical topics related to the book of Revelation-who wrote it and when, what apocalyptic literature means, who some of the key figures are like the mark of the beast and Gog and Magog, tips for studying Revelation, and more. Yet as one prominent pastor writes, “The most prominent characteristic of the book of Revelation is that it is misunderstood.” We find some of the great topics of prophecy and their consummation in Revelation, such as the Church, the resurrection of the saints, the great tribulation, and the second coming of Christ. It’s the one book in the Bible that will cause blessing somehow, so we would be wise to read it and study it. But there’s something unique about Revelation according to its author, those who read and hear the words of the prophecy and “keep what is written in it” (Rev 1:3) will be blessed. And it is filled with hope.Īccording to Paul, all Scripture-including the book of Revelation-is “breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness” (2 Tim 3:16). Troublingly, Revelation indicates those to whom the author wrote the letter will undergo intense trials and difficulties.Įven so, the ending is a happy one. That’s understandable-it’s full of wild imagery, confusing numbers, vague time references, strange visions, unseen realities, and unclear future events. ![]() Yet many Christians don’t feel equipped to read and study it or are scared to. The book of Revelation is the last in the Christian Bible and contains important information about the end times. |
