'I rant about the welfare state, library closures and poverty,' she explains on her website, 'like a s - - - Dickens or Orwell, but with tits.' A coming of age novel? Or an age of coming novel? A review of How to Build a Girl, by Caitlin Moran. Even before she came across a pleasing reference to herself, Julie Burchill loved this hyperactive novel. Julie Burchill. Author, Caitlin Moran Photo: Getty. Julie Burchill. How to Build a Girl Lyrics: I was out with some transgender friends, we were having a real nice time / When a bunch of cishet dickhead boys yelled at us from behind / And as the smell of their Lynx Africa. And this irreverent summary, casually smutty, very funny, and barely disguising a serious intent, is the perfect introduction to her novel, How to Build a Girl. The story opens in 1990 in Wolverhampton, a city in the English West Midlands. Johanna Morrigan is 14 years old and knows there has to be more to life than her small existence now offers. Her father is an unemployed would-be rock star, her mother is suffering from depression and young Johanna has more childcare duties (she has two brothers and there are twin babies to care for, too) and financial worries than a teenager should have to take on. She also has dreams of finding a way out. Johanna's concerns are, in some ways, those of any teenager longing for popularity, love, fame and recognition of their hidden talents. But living in a working class family, in a deprived neighbourhood with few prospects, she's not quite sure how to go about fulfilling those dreams. Meanwhile, she tells us early on, 'Today, like every other day, I'm going to go to bed still a fat virgin who writes her diary in a series of imaginary letters to sexy Gilbert Blythe from Anne of Green Gables.' Due to her family's economic hardship, Johanna decides that it is up to her to find a way to make some money. A very public humiliation that results from her initial efforts spurs her to reinvent herself, to become the person she is sure she was meant to be. 'I want to be a self-made woman. I want to conjure myself out of every sparkling, fast-moving thing I can see,' she declares, 'I want to be the creator of me. I'm gonna begat myself.' First, she'll change her name. This, then, is how to build a girl: find a cause; identify your image; let nothing stand in your way. Moran is also the author of the bestselling memoir How to Be a Woman. This new book reads very much like Moran's own autobiography, exaggerated for effect. Dolly Wilde — as Johanna christens herself — lands a job as a freelance music journalist, travels to London, has lots of sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll. It's a fast-paced tale of a working class girl whose brains and way with words, and her sheer grit, ensure her escape and her success. ![]() Moran never loses touch with what seemed to me an authentic and believably teenage voice — from the self-obsessed navel gazing nature of Dolly's reflections to the exaggerated emotional responses and flights of fancy. At times, the tone does become a little too breathless and over-excited. But, as any mother who has despaired of the sharp intake of breath and 'OMG!' Exhalation that accompanies the most banal of observations by an adolescent girl could tell you, this too is probably true to life. Moran manages to poke fun at her young alter ego just as she elicits the reader's sympathy. The joy of this easy-read novel is not just the scrappy protagonist. As Dolly navigates her new life going to gigs and parties in London, and as we are reminded of the fate of her family back in Wolverhampton, Moran makes strong statements about social inequality and gender throughout. ![]() In one particularly moving — and uncharacteristically restrained — moment, Dolly tells the reader: 'my biggest secret of all — the one I would rather die than tell, the one I wouldn't even put in my diary — is that I really, truly, in my heart, want to be beautiful. I want to be beautiful so much — because it will keep me safe, and keep me lucky, and it's too exhausting not to be.' Even as she finds her way into womanhood, Dolly is beset by self-doubt and consumed by a negative body image. She may be living the feminist creed, but building yourself is never going to be an easy task. How to Build a Girl is, in essence, a very British story about class and social privilege.

EW talked to the winners — married couple Stephen & English King and friends Lee Wilson & Hilmar Skagfield — about how they managed to cover 100,000 square miles in 28 days without attracting the, um, good guys. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: I thought this show would be impossible to win because of all of the technology that’s now available for law enforcement. Were you skeptical of your chances? ENGLISH KING (a clinical audiologist): A lot of people were certainly skeptical we could win. Our main strategy going into this was to use as little technology as possible. We knew that was going to be what the hunters would use to find us. We utilized phones but in a strategic way. I kept a detailed log, making sure we did not do it in a pattern that we thought the hunters would track. We were somewhat naïve, really knowing and understanding all the capabilities the hunters had, which makes it insane and somewhat shocking that we ended up winning. STEPHEN KING (stay-at-home dad): We sometimes felt helpless, not knowing every little thing. We just kept moving and staying off their radar as much as we could be. We didn’t send an email or get on social media the whole time we were on the run. LEE WILSON (escape room business owner): We were definitely optimistic but it was a level-headed optimism. We knew going into it we would be going up against the best of the best of the best and we knew the hunters would represent all of the best law enforcement and military and intelligence agencies so it would be insanely difficult. But we had confidence in ourselves and our ability and skill set. You can’t win a cat-and-mouse game if you are afraid.

At the same time, Fortune published companion 'Fortune 50' lists of the 50 largest commercial banks (ranked by assets), utilities (ranked by assets), life insurance companies (ranked by assets), retailers (ranked by gross revenues) and transportation companies (ranked by revenues).

Chris Burden guaranteed his place in art history in 1971 with a period of often dangerous and at times stomach-churning performances. After having himself shot, locked up in a locker for five days, electrocuted, and crucified on the back of a VW bug, Burden reinvented himself as the creator of truly mesmerizing installations and sculptures, from a suspended gigantic flywheel that seemingly spins on its own, to an assemblage of antique streetlights rewired for solar energy and illuminated outside the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. In BURDEN, Timothy Marrinan and Richard Dewey look at the artist's works and private life with an innovative mix of still-potent videos of his 70s performances, personal videos and audio recordings, friends, fellows students and colleagues, critics' comments and latter day footage at his Topanga Canyon studio, all peppered with his thoughts and musings through the years. ![]() Traditionally, presidents have at least made a show of having healthy, happy marriages. Even the Clintons, despite marital troubles, appeared to have moments of genuine affection, humor, and bonding. But from almost the first moments of Inauguration Day, during the ceremonial arrival at the White House, it seemed something was amiss with the Trumps. Perhaps you’ve seen the clip: Donald and Melania’s black S.U.V. Arrives at the White House, where are waiting to greet them. Donald bolts from the car and marches up the stairs, leaving behind Melania, in her powder-blue, Jackie-esque suit, carrying a large Tiffany box. (Presidents Obama, Bush, and Clinton all escorted their wives at this moment.) This snapshot of the Trump marriage was soon followed by other odd moments. ![]() During Franklin Graham’s blessing, Donald turned around to look at Melania. She smiled momentarily. But once his back was turned, her face fell into a miserable frown. Later that night, as the president and First Lady had their “first dance,” twice over, to “My Way,” she was often stiff and pulling away from his face. #SaveMelania and #SadMelania were soon trending on Twitter.

After two high-maintenance wives, seems deliberately to have chosen as his third a woman who would be both bombshell and cipher, a physical testament to his manhood and amazingness. She would be decorative and polite, not needy and annoying. “I’m not a nagging wife,” Melania has declared a couple of times—her manifesto.

Roger Corman Tells Us About Death Race 2050, the Only Movie That Matters in 2017. Now Corman is back again, with Death Race 2050, a film I watched with a kind of blissful glee before the 2016 presidential election, and one that I'm now, like a lunatic, butting into every political conversation: “It's just. The acting OK. The music choices vary in quality. Now that I got that out of the way. This remake was fantastic and amazingly true in tone to the original making many improvements along the way. No spoilers here except to say that the updates made sense, the characters were fun, and everyone seemed to be having a good time making it. Malcolm McDowell did what he does so well playing the villain. It was episodic, but so was the original. You get the feeling that the director studied the original for what worked, then brought that and a lot more into the remake. Roger Cormen and his daughter produced, so you know it was made by the right people (Cormen produced the original as well) If you did not like it, you would not have liked the original. It was a worthy remake that reminds us what a lot of imagination can do on a limited budget. Cormen devotees should be thrilled. Amerika wird im Jahre 2050 von kapitalistischen Großkonzernen regiert. Um ein mögliches Aufbegehren der Bevölkerung im Keim zu ersticken, werden die Bewohner des Landes mit Virtual-Reality-Unterhaltung gefügig gemacht. Höhepunkt dieser ruhigstellenden Prozedur ist das alljährliche Todesrennen – bei dem es nicht nur auf die Geschwindigkeit ankommt, sondern auch auf die Skrupellosigkeit der Teilnehmer. Es gibt nämlich Bonuspunkte für die Teams, wenn sie unschuldige Passanten überfahren und umbringen. Auch der amtierende und gefeierte Sieger Frankenstein (Manu Bennett) tritt wieder in die Pedale. Dabei ahnt die Mensch-Maschine nicht, dass sein Co-Pilot ein Spion ist. Dieser Widerstandskämpfer will der martialischen Tradition ein Ende setzen. Als die umtriebige B-Movie-Legende Roger Corman 1975 den von Paul Bartel inszenierten blutigen Sci-Fi-Actioner „Frankensteins Todesrennen“ aka „Death Race 2000“ ins Kino brachte, ahnte wohl kaum einer, dass die bitterböse Satire zum Kultfilm aufsteigen würde. Nach dem 1978er-Sequel „Giganten mit stählernen Fäusten“ inszenierte der „Resident Evil“-Macher Paul W.S. Anderson 2008 ein Quasi-Remake mit Jason Statham und entschärfte die Blutrünstigkeit des Originals in mancherlei Hinsicht. Andersons Variante der Todesrennen um den Rennchampion Frankenstein zog die Direct-to-DVD-Produktionen „Death Race 2“ und „Death Race: Inferno“ nach sich. Nun legt Regisseur G.J.

The United States government restructured into a totalitarian regime under martial law. To pacify the population, the government has organized the Transcontinental Road Race, where a group of drivers is driving across the country in their high-powered cars, infamous for violence, gore, and innocent pedestrians being struck for bonus points. In the year 2000, the five drivers in the 20th annual race, who all adhere to -style personas and drive appropriately themed cars, include, the mysterious black-garbed champion and national hero; Machine Gun Joe, a Chicago tough-guy gangster; Calamity Jane, a cowgirl; Matilda The Hun, a neo-Nazi; and Nero The Hero, a Roman gladiator. Each drives with a navigator of the opposite sex, who also implicitly functions as a love interest.
