Beschreibung

Bizarre Casting Choices explores the often-surprising world of casting decisions in film and television. It examines why actors who seem completely wrong for a role are sometimes chosen, and the impact these choices have on the final product. The book argues that these seemingly odd pairings can add unexpected dimensions to characters, challenging audience expectations.

 
The book delves into instances of intentional miscasting and casting decisions that, on the surface, seem illogical. For example, understanding these choices requires considering factors beyond simple talent, such as star power and directorial vision. It also explores how historical context and shifting cultural norms impact casting decisions, particularly in biographical films.

 
Beginning with a definition of "bizarre" casting, the book progresses through case studies, analyzing factors that contribute to these decisions. It considers the financial aspects of casting, the director's role in challenging conventional choices, and the impact of casting controversies.

 
Ultimately, the book emphasizes the ethics of casting, especially in biographical works, and the filmmaker's responsibility to portray subjects accurately.

Origen

Joseph Trigg

Origen (c. 185 – c. 253) was the most influential Christian theologian before Augustine, the founder of Biblical study as a serious discipline in the Christian tradition, and a figure with immense influence on the development of Christian spirituality. 
 
This volume presents a comprehensive and accessible insight into Origen's life and writings, written and compiled by Joseph W. Trigg, a leading Origen authority. An introduction analyzes the principal influences that formed him as a Christian and as a thinker, his emergence as a mature theologian at Alexandria, his work in Caesarea and his controversial legacy.  
 
Fresh translations by Joseph Trigg, of a representative selection of Origen's writings, including some never previously available in print, show how Origen provided a lasting framework for Christian theology by finding through study of the Bible a coherent understanding of God's saving plan. Among the Origen’s original works presented on this recording are Commentaries on Psalms, Lamentations and Genesis; and Homilies on Jeremiah, Luke and Samuel.

You’ll hear about my crazy times hanging out with notorious rock’ n’ roll hellraisers like Travis and Radiohead. I write with humour and heartbreaking poignancy about the challenges of parenting, losing my mother (to death, that is – we didn’t get separated in a shop) and the drug hell that led to me nearly dying in the arms of a comedy legend. There’s also a bit about arguing with my wife, getting instructions on edginess from Louis Theroux, going on Bake Off and much more that you didn’t ask for but definitely need.
For all that, plus hours of bonus waffle and original music, why not download the audiobook, too?
Phew! I think we both need a shower after that. Take care – I love you, byeee!
