Will Poulter is getting excellent reviews for his portrayal of a racist cop in “Detroit”. This is him seven years ago in the Narnia movie “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader”. That chin, those eyebrows.....

that’s just a upper-middle class neighborhood
GPS yourself to the Marin Cheese Factory in Novato (Marin County). Drive north about two miles. Left turn onto Hicks Valley Rd. 2-3 miles to a stop sign. Left onto the Marshall Petaluma Rd. Zoom. You’re welcome.
Old La Honda Rd, site of my first “so drunk I threw up on the road” adventure. That road doesn’t look so great when you’re crawling on your hands and knees because you can’t stand up....

LaDainian Tomlinson: Featured in this commercial. Not one of the best football commercials of all time, not one of the best sports commercials of all time, just one of the best commercials of all time.
Today’s 100-year anniversary of the Third Battle of Ypres reminds me of the criminally ignored movie Testament of Youth. My ardor for Alicia Vikander has cooled of late but I still consider this is an exquisite movie. Her character’s fiance (back to camera in the picture) is played by Kit Harrington.
There are no…
I went to a boarding school that had girls and boys. Mom and Dad were tens or hundreds of miles away; most people I knew were fucking like rabbits or having LOTS of near-PinV activities. Raging hormones, lack of a fully developed prefrontal cortex, proximity to desirable and willing partners, and being far away from…
The actress who spoke that line died of a brain tumor at the age of 32. Karma much?
Lois Smith was in one episode of The Americans. She was only in part of that episode and her entire performance was talking while sitting in a chair at a desk in a dismal office. Her acting was so astonishing she should have gotten some kind of Emmy / Oscar / MacArthur Genius Grant / Peabody award. If you saw it, you…
I remember the scene when the big bad thing knocked her to the ground, she smirked, then got up to continue the battle. I can’t find a good screen grab of that, so here you go instead:
The Northeast, where people listen to lectures about climate change given by menstruating Jewish women in classrooms lit by solar powered fluorescent bulbs.
Man of Steel, Batman vs. Superman, Suicide Squad: Read so much bad stuff about them I waited and saw them on cable. They were 100% awful.
Wonder Woman? Take my money. I was in the theater at 7PM the day it opened.
I got home an hour ago from seeing it. He doesn’t have a major role but is in a lot of scenes. He will surely get more acting work—does an excellent job with what he had.
I read a review where the writer said (paraphrasing), “This is the first war movie ever made where a soldier doesn’t pull a crumpled picture of his girlfriend out of his pocket”.
Not roadies? I think roadies would have been wearing gloves to get a better grip on that obviously valuable case.
Security? The guy on the left in olive drab has a coiled caucasian-fleshtone wire discreetly coming out of his shirt presumably into an earpiece in his right ear. Is that typical roadie gear?
Remi Malek is excellent and I’m a huge fan. He will do a great job.
Alison Wright (“Martha”) is such a good actress. She was also the director’s assistant in Feud, a different kind of role. She is English and has perfected the American accent for her acting. I hope she got paid extra for the awful wardrobe her character wore in The Americans. Nice to see her out and about in real life:
Kezar Stadium had brutal concrete bleachers. I grew up nearby. People would rent seat cushions for a game then just get up and walk away when it was over. The guy who rented the cushions would let the neighborhood kids in afterwards. We would run through the stadium and he gave us a nickel for every cushion we brought…
Look closely at the picture. At the bottom of each sail is a small round metal thingy. That is the motor to (un)furl each sail. When I walked next to the ship I could see each motor was taller than me (an average size adult). The ship was SPOTLESS. Like it had never been touched by human hands or a fleck of sea spray.…
