LITTLE HAWK: Sustained by his kindness through the endless winter of her captivity, she finally submits to his lovemaking, only to find that her passionate nature betrays her New England upbringing. JOSHUA STARK: His piercing blue eyes penetrate her innermost defenses, and, to her shame, she helplessly succumbs to the sensations awakened by his knowing touch.

Forced to flee Boston rather than marry a man she does not love, Bethany Herbert rides westward to seek a new life on the American frontier. ![]() Third Contact by Peter J Aldin5/21/2023 ![]() ![]() The director Si Horrocks is clearly on a mission to make good films and show the world that it can be done with very little, and in that mission he has completely succeeded. The performances, the black and white slight shakiness, the dialogue, the script, the direction - it is all truly a work of art. If this film gets a screening near you, I absolutely urge you to go and see it. This is a very important piece of film and it is showing that the indie film scene is getting more and more creative with each passing day, and it is hugely important to invest in such a thing to keep the creativity going. The fact that this is a British film that doesn't involve gritty gangs and gangsters is also impressive, as all that tends to come from the British film industry is that or period pieces really. ![]() The best way to describe it is as a deep and involving psychological film with a few shades of Darren Aronofsky's "Pi", which is indeed an accomplishment in itself. Trying to explain this film to someone would be quite an impossible task. Here is an example of where it absolutely does. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I vastly prefer them to most of what comes out of Hollywood as they tend to be far more creative in terms of script and story and characters, and as they don't have huge budgets, then the makers have got to get creative with certain things. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The court reviles her because they consider her people barbarians.

At Lake Scarlet, Chih and Almost Brilliant meet In-yo’s handmaiden, Rabbit, who tells them In-yo’s story: from her arrival at the Gleaming Palace to her banishment at Thriving Fortune (the other name for Lake Scarlet) to her victory over the Empire’s forces. ![]() On their way to the new empress’s first Dragon Court, Cleric Chih and their assistant, the neixin Almost Brilliant, make a detour to Lake Scarlet, the place where In-yo spent her years in exile before usurping the emperor’s throne. One year after the death of In-yo, Empress of Salt and Fortune, the sites that she put under lock become declassified. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

But, they claim, because it is widespread, moral grandstanding contributes to political polarization and outrage exhaustion, among others social problems. It’s a kind of bullshitting, and so is kind of immoral in itself. Warmke and Tosi think that moral grandstanding is a problem. A central aspect of moral grandstanding is that it’s motivated, consciously or subconsciously, by the satisfaction of the speaker’s desire for recognition as a morally good person. Grandstanding, as Warmke and Tosi describe it, is moral talk for the sake of looking good–a way of improving your social status by saying things that make you appear to be a morally good or even great person. Warmke is the co-author (with Justin Tosi) of the book, Grandstanding: The Use and Abuse of Moral Talk. The Cleveland Humanities Festival is focused on the topic of public discourse and for one of its sessions brought on Brandon Warmke, a philosopher at Bowling Green State University, and me, to discuss “moral grandstanding.” Moral Grandstanding discussion at the Cleveland Humanities Festival ![]() |
