Cat’s imagination runs riot: an ancient abbey, crumbling turrets, secret chambers, ghosts…and Henry! What could be more deliciously romantic?īut Cat gets far more than she bargained for in this isolated corner of the Scottish Borders. The rigidly formal General Tilney invites her to stay at Northanger with son Henry and daughter Eleanor. But with Bella comes her brother John, an obnoxious banker whose vulgar behaviour seems designed to thwart Cat’s growing fondness for Henry. And an introduction to Bella Thorpe, who shares her passion for supernatural novels, provides Cat with a like-minded friend. A Highland Dance class, though, brings Cat a new acquaintance: Henry Tilney, a pale, dark-eyed gentleman whose family home, Northanger Abbey, sounds perfectly thrilling. So when Cat’s wealthy neighbours, the Allens, invite her to the Edinburgh Festival, she is sure adventure beckons.Įdinburgh initially offers no such thrills: Susie Allen is obsessed by shopping, Andrew Allen by the Fringe. Seventeen-year-old Catherine ‘Cat’ Morland has led a sheltered existence in rural Dorset, a life entirely bereft of the romance and excitement for which she yearns. A modern re-imagining of the Gothic Classic Northanger Abbey by the bestselling crime author Val McDermid. I think he was the current-champ, not the former-champ, but he was in prison on a rape charge that he denied. You know, in the first UNDISPUTED the Ving Rhames character was clearly inspired by Mike Tyson. Before that he had a small part in TOXIC AVENGER 2-3 and was in a couple low-rent martial arts movies that I ought to track down one of these days, but this is what got him the bigger roles like, uh, Spawn. The most notable part of the movie is that Michael Jai White plays Tyson, in the role that brought him to somewhat-prominence. I guess they made this movie to keep him in their library and maybe spark new interest for his comeback. HBO had made alot of money off the Mike Tyson fights, but then he lost the title and went to prison. From Uli Edel, the visionary director of BODY OF EVIDENCE and THE LITTLE VAMPIRE, comes the 1995 made-for-cable biopic of Mike Tyson. And then consider this, from Steinbeck’s Travels with Charley: Consider Hemingway’s famous ballscratching machismo, as refracted through his obsession with fly-fishing. Steinbeck was a better novelist, a better pet owner, and a nicer man. Lots of people seem to like Hemingway, and I expect they have their reasons, but I refuse to entertain them. Like I said, this is based on nothing other than a hunch. My current favourite is this: just as you are either a cat person or a dog person, United or City, Italian or French food: you are either a Hemingway person or a Steinbeck person. It must be a hangover of studying English at university and being forced to provide evidence for all my reckless assertions - now I treat myself to the occasional assertion, the more reckless the better. I like forming theories about literature - particularly theories based on zero evidence. |
