Netflix recently held their NEXT UK event which rolled out their upcoming slate of films and series; and while not a UK production (but a European one), surprising no one there was no info on THE OLD GUARD 2. In fact, the only news remotely about THE OLD GUARD 2 comes from Matthias Schoenaerts who was asked about the project while doing press for HBO's THE REGIME.
Tumblr media
No more A LITTLE CHAOS, Schoenaerts' Zubak is trying to bring big chaos into the kingdom.
Tumblr media
What says Matthias?
Tumblr media
Until the release of THE OLD GUARD sequel - whenever that will be - what is the gang up to?
-Charlize Theron is reuniting with her F9: THE FAST SAGA director Justin Lin in TWO FOR THE MONEY, which will pair Theron with Daniel Craig. The film described as a heist thriller which casts the pair as career thieves whose relationship evolve over the course of three big jobs.
Tumblr media
-Still awaiting word on the distribution and release of Homer's ODYSSEY inspired THE RETURN starring Ralph Fiennes, Juliette Binoche and Marwan Kenzari
Tumblr media
, but a bit of Marwan adjacent news is that Dutch influencer/ Holland's NEXT TOP MODEL participant and presenter Anna Nooshin's partner actor Thijs Boermans  recently told the story of how when they were picking out names for their baby
Tumblr media
- if it was a boy they had a name chosen for someone Anna knows and who Thijs looks up to: Marwan Kenzari. Were it a boy, they were opting for Chico which is Marwan's nickname and the name he used to go by when acting.
Tumblr media
They ended up having a girl, but prior to delivery, they opted not to go for Chico because they thought it was so exotic, only to Ibiza and realize chico is just boy in Spanish.
-Luca Marinelli utilized the casting couch and is sleeping with the director of his now in production film PATERNAL LEAVE! The director? His wife, Alissa Jung.
Tumblr media
What is it about? "On the desolate beaches of the Romagna Riviera during the winter, a young woman of German origin meets her father, an Italian, for the first time. The film tells of an intricate and painful comparison between decisions made in the past and the consequences that are reflected in the present."
No solid release date has been given for Joe Wright's Benito Mussolini limited series "M. IL FIGLIO DEL SECOLO / M. SON OF THE CENTURY" with Marinelli playing Il Duce.
Tumblr media
However, the head of one of the production companies who produced the series, recently said it will be out in Autumn in this year.
Excerpt from her interview.
Tumblr media
One of Luca's costar in M... Gabriele Falsetta mentioned the project in an interview. Although he said he couldn't reveal details, he praised Luca and said that he raised the "temperature" with the level of his acting and that the cast still keep in touch via WhatsApp.

The Fathers' Day Reveal
An ATEEZ fanfic by AbsentCaryatid
Yunho and San take the opportunity of a commercial to come out in multiple ways during pride month.
1.4K words, Content note: all ages, gender neutral reader, polyamory, coming out, outing is brought up but does not occur, nervousness and anxiety, mention of possible future parenting
~
Mingi had often said he would like to be chosen for commercial work promoting beds since it spoke to his love of resting. When a Swedish furniture company approached KQ Entertainment looking for just such a partnership, Mingi jumped at the chance. Though he could perform in character on stage well enough, unfortunately, his offstage acting skills were still in development. Dressed in cozy pajamas, snuggling into the bed on set came naturally enough. He was even praised for his realism until it was discovered he had actually fallen asleep, but line delivery in the waking up scene left something to be desired.
Having discussed the problem with his best friend Yunho, it was decided to ask the company if they would accept a change in actors and make use of the idol far more at ease with scripted lines. Stepping into the role without delay, the commercial was successfully shot in one day. Yunho also ably modeled for promotional posters and a catalog spread which proved very popular with ATINY. His charming looks also won him fans far beyond K-pop.
After such a well-received ad campaign, the next year brought another request for Yunho's services. With a planned air date for June, a follow-up commercial was in the works, this time continuing the story of Yunho in his flat-pack furniture filled home. His character was to be given a partner to woo over affordable yet attractive tableware in this update. Since the actress had yet to be cast, Yunho was consulted to see if he had any suggestions, perhaps some idol friend he'd like to work with.
After clearing it with both the highest levels of KQ Entertainment and his partner, Yunho came back with an answer. Holding the hand of his lover, he introduced San to the commercial development staff. “I know you picked June for a Father's Day theme, but would you consider making it a Pride commercial as well? With our managers' full approval, we are both ready to come out as bisexual.”
San had seen the furniture company run ads with same-sex couples before so he had figured they would be accepting of that angle. Yet, there was more to open up about. With a squeeze of Yunho's hand, San admitted, “There is something else you should know before choosing us.” When he was finished speaking, San saw grins of approval rather than a less welcoming atmosphere he had known was a very real possibility.
The two cuddled closely in their large bed the night before filming the revised commercial. Yunho traced the line of San's shoulder before frowning and pulling back nervously. Propping himself up on one elbow, he looked at San seriously. “You ready for this? People will talk, and there is no going back. You've seen the lack of support Holland gets in our industry as an out gay man. I don't imagine bisexuals are treated any better, and all the rest of our situation on top of that.”
San's dimpled smile was a reassuring sign. “There will be screenshots on Twitter within minutes, reactions on TikTok, and fanfic on Tumblr and AO3 soon after. KQ and the rest of our team are cautiously excited for the global publicity this will bring. Hongjoong thinks we can help a lot of queer ATINY feel less alone.”
“True,” Yunho agreed, “but for us, are you truly okay going public, and in this way?”
The weary sigh San let out revealed his frustration. “I am tired of hiding. Our families already know and approve of who we love so there is no need to hesitate for their sake. Honestly, with the way amoral reporters compete to unmask celebrities I would much rather this be our decision. Even the anxiety over our reveal and how people will take the news is an improvement over the constant fear of being outed without consent. Besides, we already have interviews with multiple queer websites lined up for the morning the commercial begins to air. That means the media we care about gets the story, in part because we know they will get it right.”
Consoled it was the right decision at the right time, Yunho nestled back into San's warm arms. Sleep came quickly over them both. The pair were so worn out by their emotions that they did not wake when you slipped into the bed of your polyamorous boyfriends.
Filming took far less time than expected, even working with a child actor. The ease with which they could be themselves before the filming crew confirmed their readiness to be public about their loving relationship. Post-production at the hands of a team sworn to absolute secrecy swiftly completed the commercial soon to be aired worldwide.
By the day of the premiere, San and Yunho had shaken off their fears, but you were feeling slight jitters. While your guys were out for interviews, the remaining members of ATEEZ were gathered to watch the commercial first air during the most popular morning show on Korean television. Seated among the boys you had come to see as family since becoming romantically involved with San and Yunho, you watched eagerly for their reactions. Sensing your nerves, Yeosang lightly stroked one of your hands while Wooyoung held the other tightly to his chest making you wonder who was consoling who in the situation.
Jongho grabbed the remote to turn the television louder as the morning show hosts paused for the commercial break at the top of the hour.
“This is it!” Wooyoung shrieked with anticipation only to be confused by a dog food commercial followed by one for laundry detergent. Finally the furniture ad came on and he dropped your lightly crushed hand to immerse himself completely in the scene.
Under the fluffiest white duvet, Yunho slept in a simple but stylish wooden bed in the soft morning light. The sound of small bare feet approached. Clutching a large stuffed shark, a toddler clad in festive character pajamas also conveniently available from the furniture company ran up to Yunho. They squealed, “Papa!” He opened his eyes and ruffled their hair as he gazed lovingly. The covers then peeled back and San was revealed to be in bed with Yunho, arms out, ready to pull their child in for a snuggle.
The cheers that went up from the watch party, including KQ staff filming for a reaction video, were silenced by Hongjoong. “I don't want to miss any of this,” he hissed as attention returned to the screen.
Denying San's offer, the toddler exclaimed, “No, daddy, I want the other one!” Again the covers were pushed down further and now a third partner was visible coming to a sitting position in the comfy bed. You. Clambering over your boyfriends, your television commercial offspring ended in your lap while your arms went out to San and Yunho. There were warm smiles all around. The ad ended with the progress pride flag and the tagline “We sell beds big enough for all families.”
It took far longer for the excited noises to die down this time. Everybody had leapt up to jump around or congratulate you. Mingi was dancing with a staffer and Hongjoong attempted an unsteady handstand which Jongho knowingly sidestepped as the leader came crashing down. It was clear they were very happy for two beloved members to finally be open about their romance, but also as part of a trio who were very smitten with each other.
A commercial wasn't the most conventional way to announce being in a relationship, but then neither was your polyamorous life. Not parents in real life, the child was your young cousin in their first acting role, but you and your partners were still mulling over the possibility of adding children to your family one day.
Seonghwa sought you out and offered a gentle hug. “I am so proud of all three of you, and your little cousin. You will have to bring them over again soon so I can compliment them in person.”
Once things had calmed down somewhat, Yeosang replayed the commercial several times. Everyone had something to say about how positively this representation could impact ATEEZ fans and beyond. While nobody in the room thought there would not be pushback, in this moment they savored the victory of very visible corporate support. It certainly was not the end goal for queer acceptance, but it was a notable step along the way.

Edna Wright
Tumblr media
Remembering Edna Wright on the day of her birth. best-known for the four years she spent as the lead singer of the female vocal trio Honey Cone. The Los Angeles native had a long resume before forming that well-known group and remained active in music long after Honey Cone's breakup. Born in L.A. in 1944, Wright is the younger sister of vocalist Darlene Love (who is known for her years with Bob B. Soxx & the Blue Jeans, a group that had some hits in the early '60s). Like Love, Wright was a member of an L.A.-based vocal group called the Blossoms, and like Love, Wright had some gospel credentials but ended up making secular R&B her main focus. In the '60s, Wright (who had a Christian upbringing and sang in church when she was growing up) performed gospel with the Church of God in Christ Singers; most of her work, however, has been secular. In her pre-Honey Cone days, Wright sang backup for various artists, including Ray Charles and the Righteous Brothers. And she also did some recording as a solo artist in the '60s; using the pseudonym Sandy Wynns, Wright recorded a solo single, titled "A Touch of Venus," for the Champion label. The tune wasn't well-known nationally, although it did become a small regional hit in Southern California. It was in 1969 that Wright's best-known gig got underway; that year, she formed Honey Cone and hired Shellie Clark (born in 1943 in Brooklyn, NY) and Carolyn Willis (born in 1946 in Los Angeles, CA). Clark and Willis both had noteworthy resumés; Clark was a former member of Ike & Tina Turner's female backup singers the Ikettes, while Willis -- like Wright's sister Darlene Love -- had been with Bob B. Soxx & the Blue Jeans. Honey Cone had only been together a few months when, in 1969, the group caught the attention of producer/songwriter Eddie Holland (who, along with Lamont Dozier and brother Brian Holland, was part of the famous Motor City production/songwriting team known as Holland-Dozier-Holland). Lucky for Honey Cone, Holland-Dozier-Holland had recently left Motown -- where they had provided major hits for the Four Tops, the Supremes, the Miracles, Marvin Gaye, the Isley Brothers, and other well-known artists -- and were starting a new Detroit-based outfit called Hot Wax/Invictus. They envisioned Hot Wax and Invictus as sister labels, much like Stax and Volt in Memphis. Modeling their company after Berry Gordy's Motown empire, Holland-Dozier-Holland wanted a lot of Motown-minded, Detroit-sounding artists and Honey Cone -- whose blend of sweetness and grit was heavily influenced by female Motown acts like Martha & the Vandellas and the Marvelettes -- fit right in. Honey Cone became Hot Wax's first signing and the threesome's debut single, "While You're Out Looking for Sugar," was Hot Wax's first release. That single wasn't a huge mega-smash, although it made it to number 26 on Billboard's R&B singles chart and number 62 on the weekly publication's pop singles chart. But the Honey Cone singles that soon followed did a lot better. The group's next single, "Girls, It Ain't Easy," became a number eight R&B hit in 1969, and in 1971, Honey Cone enjoyed their biggest hit of all when "Want Ads" (which dance-pop/urban/adult contemporary star Taylor Dayne covered in 1988) soared to number one on both the R&B and pop charts. Other major hits followed, including "Stick Up" (a number one R&B/number 11 pop hit), "The Day I Found Myself" (a ballad), and the Latin-influenced "One Monkey Don't Stop No Show" (which reached number five on Billboard's R&B singles chart and number 15 on its pop singles chart). But as big as Honey Cone was from 1969-1972, things slowed down considerably for the trio in 1973. None of the Honey Cone singles that Hot Wax put out in 1973 were big hits, and sadly, Holland-Dozier-Holland's label was hurting financially. Despite having a commercially successful roster of artists -- not only Honey Cone, but also, Freda Payne, the Chairmen of the Board, 100 Proof (Aged in Soul), and Laura Lee

Book Chat: The Long Game
Game Changers (Book 6) by Rachel Reid
Tumblr media
Source: Google Images
To the world they are rivals, but to each other they are everything.
Ten years.
That’s how long Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov have been seeing each other. How long they’ve been keeping their relationship a secret. From friends, from family…from the league. If Shane wants to stay at the top of his game, what he and Ilya share has to remain secret. He loves Ilya, but what if going public ruins everything?
Ilya is sick of secrets. Shane has gotten so good at hiding his feelings, sometimes Ilya questions if they even exist. The closeness, the intimacy, even the risk that would come with being open about their relationship…Ilya wants it all.
It’s time for them to decide what’s most important—hockey or love.
It’s time to make a call.
ISBN: 9780369704436 (2022) | Source: Goodreads
If You Thought Heated Rivalry Was Everything, You Haven't Come to This Yet
This is perfection. Never have I read a romance novel where the involved parties were already together right from the first page onwards. I am that reader who loves the wooing part and becomes bored when they get together. However, I am starting to realise that's how I feel only when I read a heterosexual romance novel. That being said, despite the absence of the chase in The Long Game, I have never enjoyed and loved a romance novel like I do this book. It's been more than a week since I finished it and I am still thinking about the beautiful relationship that is Ilya and Shane.
Reid's writing for The Long Game truly exceeded all my expectations. I felt pretty much every possible emotion while reading this book, in one seating. The problems my lovely couple encountered weren't created just for the sake of driving the plot of the sequel, those problems make all the sense because of who Ilya and Shane are along with how their relationship started out. The only thing I wished did not happen was how their relationship was announced to the world although what happened next, that part where Shane finally picked, that was the cherry on top.
Honestly, I don't give 5 stars to books easily but what's rarer is wanting to give the book more than 5 stars. I don't even remember the last time I felt so strongly for a book to be more than full stars and The Long Game? This book is chef's kiss, it's beyond 5 stars.
Rating: ★★★★★

The Rolls-Royce fit for a Billionaire 🤑🔥
It says it's half-assed and it is answer Sun and daughter actually so she says he's an it and fast. The skylight is not right it's supposed to be stars and where the positions and it's a hologram sort of that doesn't look good and then vehicles too skinny it's like a Cadillac that converted it's not but it just doesn't have the Rolls-Royce look pretty much at all and we're redesigning it before we issue it and people want it and we're going to have safety levels being security levels
Thor Freya
I want a level 9 while you're at it this has been a joke we've been beat up and can't do anything now are weak so I'm just going to order stuff and so he's submitting it as a pre-order and to contact me to see what I want on it so they make the chassis in the hall I'm going to go ahead and order stuff from the factory so they say okay I do get that and you have to make it on metal so it'd be a switch and yeah I'm looking to take over the factory and they're looking to take the hardware so it works for them.
Mike tew
The two are ordering the New Holland chassis and the interceptors order and to let his order go in and we will produce his and he says he's going to buy it from the factory but he'll look at ours and he says if he likes it he'll purchase it and we're saying that from the factory it's $2 million because they're not on the market and you understand that but it's $2 million dollars of stuff now he's starting to get it it's like buying a private jet it has the stuff in it and it's just not massively famous and that's how it goes with the first run and he's interested he wants to buy it just to have it and people think it's fake but it's real in a year they're going to be real and what's a lot more but until then they're going to be a safe vehicle to drive around in so he wants to order one too and we're going to do it
Thor Freya
Says it's his idea for the billionaire and he says it's not necessarily the SUV and he probably wants to introduce a trillionaire he says which is going to be a modernized older look probably not the massively old ones we use I feel like model t's but the conversion of the double and I kind of like that I want to see what a modernized version would look like he says there's plenty of room in the hood for a motor which is interesting to me
So I want one of those too
Mike tew
This would be a special release and it would have armor or metal in the middle is not real heavy it would have a rating of a 10 and special armor on the inside and it's deflective for heavy stuff and he's saying now we're talking and it would have obscure glass it's not really class it's lexan what is high strength and it's more like glass but it's lexan and can deflect ridiculous things we might have another version no we have upgrades and we don't want to say too many things about it but the armor would be excessive and the windows would be diamonds and it's the trillionaire release and he says that's not right and that's what I want he wants to see it first and we'll say we'll build one to your specs and sell it on prospect if you don't purchase it unfortunately you'll be making it worth more for the next poor fella. He agrees and says to build it
Thor Freya
We're going to use his idea and we're going to use that particular chassis and Hull and it will be modernized and it looks really really cool when you do that it's kind of like what it's easy top did but not as chopped and he says that's interesting it's awesome and yeah it's good to have a big 12 cylinder really big and fast big tires and everything and people will gock at it as if he's a truly there as if he is a trillion cuz he is a trillionaire. He says our current SUV is the joke and horrible it's a joke and the ceiling is a joke so they put it in the movie somehow with this son of panorama some sort of machine name for that solar system toy and that's what they say back but really it's kind of dumb it's not real hard to make and you would also have like a computer screen above you and people can look at it it's really easy you can see stuff watch movies while riding and recline in the back and people want that you can use it as a computer and see you documents and you can actually read it from where you are like 2 ft away is the letters will be bigger it's interesting to them
Nuada Arrianna
Actually I want this car first and he says that I'm the first requested and Mac is saying no this is an argument and say how about it at the same time but cuz we remember what he was saying this is yeah all right and this ain't Mack wanted one but didn't ask for one so I'm back in the first position and he agrees didn't really ask for when he said you could go ahead and do it but he didn't want it
Mike tew
Shit ok. I'll take the second one they release and I want to be a special one and to do that I just order the upgrades so I'm going to place it now
Mac Daddy
We'll have a new price up for the thing it's going to be probably above 10 million but it's going to have stuff in it and he agrees cuz it's all compact and you will have nice refrigerators and cigar humidors and more security sleeping quarters right now I was jumping at it the armor meeting of 10 or more and he said more and we're going to do that it's going to be a monster too kind of heavy you can tell big stuff with it not that you want to if you had to that's what Arnie was doing with it
Thor Freya you reinforced it too some people said it was as powerful as a train like Jay Leno but really it was powerful as a decent size Peterbilt with the torque

The Netherlands Newsletter
As you know, The Netherlands was formerly just known as Holland & the inhabitants were and still are Dutch. It was/is known for its canals, tulips, windmills, bicycles & dykes pushing back the sea.
First impressions of Amsterdam.
A few streets in the Amsterdam centre are teeming, bustling, multicultural, tourist areas with predominantly young people so I feel right at home!
This section of the city seems to have a party mentally and remains open until 1am. As a result, it takes a while for everything to open up again the next morning and does so somewhere around 10am.
The winding streets in the older part of the city are very appealing and some houses are noticeably leaning/sloping forward at a very acute angle.
With so many tourists, in these particular streets, near some canals, the rubbish bins & the daily rubbish collection are inadequate as they can't keep up. Consequently, the litter/garbage overflows onto the streets and never seems to be completely removed.
It's summertime here but the 9am temperature today was 14° with a top of 21° at 3pm.
I am presently visiting an ex colleague, Anno, with whom I worked in Siem Reap, Cambodia & Bangkok, Thailand. Anno is living in Groningen which is 181 kms north of Amsterdam and 40 kms from the Wadden Sea (Zee).
Groningen is a university city and as such has over 50,000 students who dwell in and share public housing which abound in the city.
Just out of the city are beautiful larger houses with big grounds and gardens.
Recently we visited a model village called Winsum and then the Wadden Zee, the most northernly point of the Netherlands.
The dykes are now high mounds covered with grass growing over them and bike tracks running alongside them.
The word 'politie' in Dutch is not the word polite which one may think. It is actually police.
I drew some cash from an ATM and was unbelievably charged 21%
The population of The Netherlands is 17,861,351 and the country has an area of 41,850 km² square kilometers compared with Viet Nam 331,230 km².
26% of The Netherlands is below sealevel.
In spite of the size of the country, the north of The Netherlands has a large land mass where all the farming is carried out.
Instead of making a salad, various kinds of a ready-made one can be purchased at the supermarkets. This is especially handy for individuals.
Long grass is permitted in parks and in the streets so-as-to provide safe, undisturbed areas for animals and insects. Snakes aren't prevalent here.
Bike tracks used for motor bikes and bicycles alike are everywhere here, in and out of the city. The bike trails are sprayed with a maroon coloured paint covering the tar (bitumen) and often run alongside of both sides of the roads. When there is a green light for bicycles, bikes from all directions of an intersection are allowed to proceed at once.
Electric power lines are underground.
The country 's natural gas reserves comes from Groningen and in six years earned €363 billion.
Well that's all for now folks.
Regards,
Russ
