A planned film adaptation of “Lord of the Flies,” the 1954 novel that examined the inherent evil of humanity through an island of boys without adult supervision, will have a provocative twist: This time, the island will be full of girls. The concept alone invited immediate scrutiny on social media. But skepticism was inflamed by a fairly common Hollywood story : The film about girls will be written and directed by two men, Scott McGehee and David Siegel. The two men have reportedly made a deal with Warner Bros. to create the movie. Mr. Siegel told Deadline, which reported the news , that they intended to do “a very faithful but contemporized adaptation of the book.” Using girls “might help people see the story anew,” Mr. McGehee said. “It breaks away from some of the conventions, the ways we think of boys and aggression,” he said. “People still talk about the movie and the book from the standpoint of pure storytelling. It is a great adventure story, real … [Read more...] about In ‘Lord of the Flies’ Remake, Girls Survive Instead

Cults are ideal podcast fodder: psychologically rich human stories that combine elements of true crime, mystery and social history, and are often best told in long-form style. It’s been theorized that cults tend to proliferate during times of significant uncertainty and flux , which might explain why the public appetite for these stories remains so robust. These six podcasts come at the subject from multiple angles. Some explore the psychology of cult leaders and their victims over the years, including a re-examination of the Manson murders ‌and an exposé on the upstate New York “sex cult” Nxivm , while others focus on how cultish thinking can bleed into our everyday lives. ‘Escaping Nxivm’ The so-called self-improvement program Nxivm promised its members happiness, confidence and a sense of purpose, and did so convincingly enough to attract many wealthy followers from the worlds of entertainment and business. But what lay beneath that shiny happy surface was cultlike … [Read more...] about 6 Podcasts About Cults and Their Enduring Sinister Attraction

0 Politics & Government Village trustees talk about a drop in the police pension account. David Giuliani , Patch Staff Posted | Updated Reply BURR RIDGE, IL – A couple of Burr Ridge trustees expressed concerns last week about the decrease in the money on hand in the village's police pension account. According to village numbers, the account is expected to drop by more than $2.5 million from 2021 to the next budget year, which starts May 1. That would leave the fund at $21 million. Speaking about the pension fund, Trustee Russell Smith noted the gap between next year's projected $1.3 million in income and the $1.5 million in spending. That is happening even though the village is adding $84,000 more in village money to the account more than what state law requires, officials said. "That tells me that we're not doing that great of a job," Smith said at a Village Board meeting. Pointing to what's in … [Read more...] about ‘Our Checkbook Is Declining’: Burr Ridge Official
