Unlike Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile, A Haunting in Venice is a title that even the most diehard Agatha Christie fans won’t recognize. That’s because the book’s original title was Hallowe’en Party. It was admittedly wise of Kenneth Branagh to change the name, as audiences might’ve wandered in expecting a Michael Myers flick. The title isn’t the only element that gets tweaked in this adaptation. For starters, the book took place in England rather than Venice. The new setting not only helps to distinguish the film from its source material, but also from Branagh’s previous cracks at Hercule Poirot. While his tenure as Poirot had been mostly episodic, Branagh has done a commendable job at giving the character an arc. Death on the Nile left Poirot on an uncertain note. A Haunting in Venice sees Poirot regrow his mustache, although he’s left crime-solving in the past. Just when Poirot thinks he’s out, Tina Fey pulls him back in. Fey goes from Only Murders in the Building to playing Ariadne Oliver, a novelist who has found the inspiration for her next book. Not Poirot, but Joyce Reynolds (Michelle Yeoh), a medium who supposedly possesses a link

by Drew M. Dalton, Dominican University, With the death of Jimmy Buffett, the feathers of his loyal network of fans – affectionately known as Parrot Heads – collectively drooped. Over the course of his career, Buffett earned their love by transforming himself into a kind of musical shaman who offered transport from the banalities of everyday life to the bounty of a never-never land of eternal sun, endless sandy beaches and bottomless boat drinks: Margaritaville. As a young fan in the 1980s and 1990s, I marveled at the power of Buffett’s music to carry his audience to this fantastic utopia, seeing in it nothing more than a bit of harmless fun. But as I matured and eventually became a professor of philosophy, I came to see Buffett’s music as less an expression of optimistic pleasure-seeking and more a reflection of a profoundly pessimistic assessment of the trials and tribulations of life. Now his work strikes me as a closer companion to the pessimistic conclusions of the 19th-century philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer than to the hedonism of leisure culture. I see this hidden pessimism – which underlies most of Buffett’s music –

A house in Brainerd was damaged by fire early this morning, but everyone inside was able to evacuate the home safely. Firefighters responded around 5:30 this morning to the house on the 2000 block of Graydon Avenue. Brainerd Fire Chief Tim Holmes said the family did everything right to get themselves out of the home safely before emergency workers arrived on the scene. He said they had working smoke alarms that woke them and that they were all sleeping with their bedroom doors closed. When fire crews arrived, they found heavy dark smoke coming out of the front door and eave of the house. After entering the home, they found the fire in the basement area and quickly extinguished it. Holmes says the spread of the fire appears to have been controlled by several waterlines that had melted apart above the fire. The waterlines acted like an automatic sprinkler system and controlled the fire spread until crews were able to get in and extinguish the remaining fire. The cause of the fire is under investigation but is not believed to be suspicious. Lakeland News is member supported content. Please consider supporting Lakeland News today.

The advent of “dark academia” is by no means recent in the media. Distinctly sophisticated and holding major subtest, the aesthetic has captivated corners of Tumblr posts and lingered in cinema for decades now. The imagery here is of ivory towers and scholars buried deep in their passions. Whether it is philosophy, poetry, ancient languages, or mythos, you’ll find the characters often hanging around moss-covered libraries and dreamy landscapes. The movies that capture this aesthetic evoke a sense of mystery and ignite an obsession across creative minds. The subculture becomes more pronounced on screen when films use certain signifiers like cropped sweater vests, tweed blazers, glasses and ribbons, and tousled natural hair. Naturally, movie makers tend to stay up to date and take notes from trends that captivate audiences. Incorporating the same alluring tones and creating projects that explore this aesthetic leads to good results. In a way, a movie becomes a montage of Tumblr boards as it captures the prestige of quiet learning with the priestly romanticism of days gone past. 10 Dorian Gray (2009) Momentum Pictures If you’re a big reader, you’re probably in love with Oscar Wilde’s philosophical piece of work that also becomes the inspiration behind
