Haha—yeah, IIRC she stopped eating and speaking completely after the lobotomy. Pretty hard to portray that in song—some sort of dance or instrumental interlude, perhaps?
If I remember correctly, the specific details of Peron’s illness (i.e. that she had cancer—basically, all she knew was that she was sick and it had something to do with being a woman) were withheld from her as well as the public to keep everyone from freaking out, so there may not have been much documentation to put…
I wonder how he would have handled things had the cameras *not* been there. It’s one thing when you’re trying to convince yourself and the person you’re breaking up with that you’re still a good/nice person—knowing that several million people will witness this interaction really ups the stakes.
Fun fact: Juan Peron had Eva lobotomized without her consent or knowledge in the weeks leading up to her death—ostensibly so that her intractable cancer pain wouldn’t cause as much anguish (a not entirely uncommon practice back when doctors were afraid to use pain medication too aggressively), but also possibly to…
I have a vivid memory of being stuck on one for about 20 minutes in a snow storm with my cousin, who at one point broke into the chorus of “Stayin’ Alive,” somewhere between ages 7 & 10, but I’m fairly dubious about its authenticity.
Guillermo del Toro is the son of a Mexican mechanic. I assume his background is at least partly mestizo.
ugh, I used to have nightmares about this sort of scenario when I was a youngin’ taking once-a-week ski lessons. It always freaked me out when the chairlift was temporarily brought to a stop and you were left bouncing in the wind.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Willem Defoe! :’(
And now anyone who signs up for a Kinja account can comment on your comment.
My guess as a former journalist would be that it has something to do with the Associated Press Style Guide, which has very specific rules about what sort of place information has to accompany a location name the first time it is mentioned—which is why most mainstream publications always include the state name the…
What a deeply helpful, pertinent comment.
To be fair, there is also a city named Ontario in California. Although I assume the odds of confusing the Canadian province with the Californian city are low for most readers (especially since most people have never heard of the city before), this way of phrasing things would arguably make more or less sense depending…
When Johnny said he was Team Evgenia while they were deciding the scores and Tara said she was Team Zagitova I was like oh, of course YOU are!

Also different from going out of your way to make a public statement about doing said things
Unless you watched Hulu at all regularly in the months leading up to the movie’s release and saw the trailer enough times to recognize the woman pointing her rifle at the camera was Rose with her hair pulled back. Then you knew the “twist” weeks before heading into theaters—even if you went on opening night.
Are we sure he knows the words? Maybe the backup singers are just jumping in to help him out.
So the people who are horrified and trying to do something about it are supposed to...just pretend it’s not happening until the country as a whole magically reaches a consensus? That doesn’t sound like a solution.
