I won’t deny the Pavlovian comforts of a story beat like that one. But with so many of the resuscitated rom-coms of recent years, the tropes feel like they’re driving the action, rather than the other way around. The rom-com, like a delicate houseplant, must be watered with a sufficient amount of meet-cutes, airport-chases, and forced misunderstandings. And like a ravenous Audrey II, specificity must bleed out in favor of these Beats You Know and Love. The characters, supposedly the reason we’re getting invested in these romances, get left in the dust. Why must Billy sing a song at the end of Bros? Because that’s what’s supposed to happen in a rom-com, not because it’s earned. 

The recent rom-coms that have succeeded have scrambled tropes consciously as a means to a larger point, like Starstruck on HBOMax, which lets Rose Matafeo run wild in a world of Curtis-isms as a vehicle for her own all-conquering charisma, or even Leslye Headland’s Sleeping With Other People, which feels like a 2000s Katherine Heigl film put through a particle accelerator. Or they have shied away from obvious lamp-shading entirely. I liked the recent low-key Plus One, which uses its concept more as an excuse for Jack Quaid and Maya Erskine to hang out. The second season of Fleabag is a great instance of a romantic comedy that feels no self-consciousness about whether or not it’s a rom-com. It’s a classic dangerous sign for the film industry that so many of the successful, idiosyncratic recent versions of the genre have greater freedom on TV, and even now, the squeeze has come there, too.

-- I think this Jackson McHenry essay over at Vulture is a very good assessment of how the people making these big romcoms keep going wrong, which is that they keep writing “romcoms” in quotation marks, instead of writing romances with comedy in them-- they’re writing the genre instead of writing the people.

Tragic: Pregnant 26-Year-Old Lyric McHenry, Who Graduated From Stanford and Starred on 'EJNYC' Reality Show with Magic Johnson's Son, Found Dead on Sidewalk in Suspected Drug Overdose

Lyric McHenry, who appeared on EJ Johnson’s E! series EJNYC, was found dead in New York City, Us Weekly can confirm. She was 26 years old.

“Lyric McHenry, 26, was found sprawled out on the sidewalk above the Major Deegan Expressway at Undercliff Ave. and Boscobel Place in Highbridge at about 5 a.m,” authorities told Us. “McHenry was rushed to Bronx-Lebanon Hospital, where she died. Police are investigating, the matter is ongoing.”

A source told Us that McHenry was dressed in a pajama top and not wearing pants when she was discovered.

Along with her sister Maya, McHenry was close friends with EJ, basketball legend Magic Johnson’s son. They both made appearances on EJ’s Rich Kids of Beverly Hills spin-off, EJNYC, which aired for one season on E! in 2016. McHenry also served as a producer on the reality show.

The night before McHenry was found dead, she shared a series of videos on her Instagram Story celebrating her birthday at Frederick Hotel, the SoHo Grand and Dream Downtown in Manhattan. In the last clip posted in the early hours of Monday morning, she can be seen blowing a kiss to the camera.

McHenry turned 26 on August 6. EJ gushed about his friend on Instagram in honor of her birthday.

“Happy birthday to my best friend who has strutted with me in princess gowns since day 1 @lyric_leighwords cannot express how much I love and appreciate you in my life,” he wrote. “Your constant love, respect and companionship gives me the confidence to live my truth every single day and I am so blessed that even as baby divas we recognized the greatness in each other. I love you ❤ #leoseason #teamthis.”

McHenry, a Stanford University graduate, also worked as an associate producer for Complex Networks.

When Jeff Tried to Save The World

Just as nice guys tend to finish last, nice movies often get lost in the shuffle. It’s tempting to take for granted the delicate balancing act required for creating characters who are endearing rather than cloying, empathetic but not at all saintly. In her directorial feature debut, 23-year-old Kendall Goldberg has crafted a low-key charmer that leaves us with a surprising amount of good feeling. “When Jeff Tried To Save the World” is a slow burn of a comedy that never relies on the proverbial Deus ex Machina to fix its titular protagonist’s problems. Goldberg doesn’t pretend that closure is a given in life, but she’s wise enough to know that there is almost always an alternate route one can take on the path toward betterment. No matter how trapped we may feel within our daily routine, there is a potential escape beckoning to us, if only we strain to look for it. 

This was the lesson of Goldberg’s delightful senior thesis film, “Gloria Talks Funny,” about a voice-over star (played by Candi Milo, a.k.a. Sweetie Pie on “Tiny Toon Adventures”) who finds herself being replaced on the reboot of her hit show with a young social media celebrity. Only when riffing on her real-life predicament at a standup club, a la Mrs. Maisel, does the actress realize that she is much funnier as herself than any of her cartoon personas. For Jeff (Jon Heder), his job as manager of a small town bowling alley is not the purgatory friends and family may perceive it as from the outside. What the old-fashioned site provides him with is a sense of sanctuary, epitomized by its tagline, “Where kids can be kids—and adults can too.” Even in his more outlandish comedic roles, Heder has always excelled at the art of understatement, suggesting so much with the slimmest supply of dialogue. When he admits that the world appeared too “complex” upon graduating from college, the way Heder handles the line tells us so much about the gravitational tug of nostalgia at a time of near-apocalyptic discontent. It’s no mystery why he feels safe within his self-imposed cocoon strewn with childhood trinkets, not least of all the PAC-MAN-style arcade game he designed himself, thriving proof that Jeff’s skills could take him far beyond the realm of shoe-cleaning. 

The bowling alley, dubbed Winky’s World, isn’t all that far removed from the roller rink or drive-in theater still welcoming customers in my hometown of McHenry, Illinois, thanks to each company’s diligence in making the necessary upgrades. Alas, Winky’s won’t be able to make the leap, in part because building owner Carl (Jim O’Heir of “Parks and Recreation”) has other priorities. Many of the film’s biggest laughs arrive during a sequence where Jeff attempts to steer away potential buyers of the building by having his employee Frank (Steve Berg) rattle off a series of scripted claims as to why their purchase is destined to become a money pit. Jeff further adds to their befuddlement by filling the oft-quiet alley with a barrage of bowlers on the day of their visit, luring in bystanders with the promise of free pizza. A lesser picture would’ve allowed these miniature triumphs to result in a standard feel-good ending, yet the script coauthored by Goldberg and her frequent writing partner, Rachel Borgo, is too honest to settle for such clichés. 

While this plot thread more or less follows the structure of the filmmaker’s short film of the same name—which was produced as a proof-of-concept for the feature—the heart of the movie is contained in the scenes Jeff shares with Samantha (Maya Erskine). She’s the friend of Jeff’s sister, Lindy (Anna Konkle, soon to be featured alongside Erskine on Hulu’s “PEN15”), who crashes at her brother’s apartment uninvited as a last ditch effort to infiltrate his enclosed world. It’s clear Samantha feels guilty about how Lindy had her tag along, yet every time she tries to smooth things over, Jeff is always the first to apologize. Eventually we realize that Jeff has neglected to tell anyone in his family about his current profession, including his mother (Elizabeth Laidlaw), for fear of humiliation. With Lindy, he suddenly feels comfortable enough to open up. 

There are echoes of “Punch-Drunk Love” in the harrowing sibling dynamic between soft-spoken Jeff and maddeningly self-involved Lindy, not to mention the tenderness that Samantha exudes when hanging with Jeff. If he’s the Adam Sandler to Lindy’s Mary Lynn Rajskub, then Samantha is most certainly the Emily Watson of the movie, even wearing the Watson character’s signature color of red in the scene where Jeff starts taking a liking to her (how can he resist her request for a two-player game?). Of course, Heder achieved cinematic immortality when struggling to find the right words for a given moment as Napoleon Dynamite, telling his prom date, “I like your sleeves. They’re real big.” Jeff shares some similarly amusing banter with Samantha in the early stages of their friendship, declaring, “Yes, go clean up!”, as she’s about to take a shower. Yet Goldberg and Heder never push Jeff over the line into caricature, and they treat his anxiety with the seriousness it deserves. 

Watson had to find some way into Sandler’s world in order to fall for him, and Erskine shows us precisely what draws Samantha to Jeff. She’s intrigued by his peculiarities and doesn’t view him as an object of pity. More importantly, she also shares his unsettled perspective on adult life, in light of her own mother’s impending remarriage. Just when I found myself ready to write off particular characters as one-note adversaries, they proved to be more human than expected. Konkle has a touching moment late in the film where her character softens the instant she realizes that Jeff is wholly unaware of the challenges that have plagued her relationship with their parents. Occasionally the dialogue can be too on-the-nose, such as when Carl casts off his own villain facade, yet Goldberg’s utter disinterest in condescension is precisely what makes her movie so lovable. 

“When Jeff Tried to Save the World” has the added distinction of being the latest indie produced by Shane Simmons, who has made several of the finest Chicagoland-set films in recent years, including Stephen Cone’s “Henry Gamble’s Birthday Party,” Michael Glover Smith’s “Mercury in Retrograde” and Clare Cooney’s “Runner.” Goldberg’s warm-hearted movie is a worthy addition to this collection of character portraits, where the most illuminating truths are left unspoken, tucked into the halting pauses between words. So assured is this debut that it reminded me of a Duplass Brothers picture, the title of which it could’ve easily borrowed, albeit with the following revision: “Jeff, Who No Longer Lives at Home.”

Annual Tribute to Miles Davis, Henry Dumas & Katherine Dunham May 19

East St. Louis Cultural Arts Festival Coincides with 1917 Race Riot Centennial:

Annual Tribute to Miles Davis, Henry

Dumas & Katherine Dunham May 19

(Poetry by Soular Systems Ensemble & Michael Castro. Jazz by Delano Redmond Quintet. Art by Edna Patterson Petty. Dance. Exhibits. Book Sales.)

 East Saint Louis, Illinois—Three artistic giants who greatly impacted this city and the world will be honoredFriday, May 19, 2017, at 6:30 pm in the Multipurpose Room of Building “D” on the Higher Education Campus of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE), 601 J.R. Thompson Dr., East St. Louis (62201).

 Known as “Da-Dum-Dun,” the annual free family festival is a tribute to music avant-gardist Miles Dewey Davis III (1926-1991), after whom the city named a school in 1982; Arkansas-born literary treasure Henry Lee Dumas (1934-1968), whom Toni Morrison called “an absolute genius”; and dance doyenne/institution builder Katherine Dunham (1909-2006), who maintained a home in ESL for more than 30 years.

 “Da-Dum-Dun 2017” intersects the Writers Club's 31st year of programming and the Centennial of ESL's 1917 Race Riot. Among art forms and events to be featured: poetry, dance, drumming, jazz, cultural vendors, exhibits/sales of books, and photo/art displays from the EBR/SIUE Collection and works of Edna Patterson Petty. Performers will include poets of the Writers Club's Soular Systems Ensemble--Roscoe “Ros” Crenshaw, Charlois Lumpkin, and Jaye P. Willis--led by Darlene Roy; translator and former St. Louis Poet Laureate Michael Castro; published poet/educator Treasure Shields Redmond; and jazz musicians under the leadership of trumpeter-educator Delano J. Redmond.

 Davis, raised in this city, graduated from Lincoln High School in 1944 and joined his Lincoln High classmate--pianist Eugene Haynes, Jr. (Lincoln '43)--at the Juilliard School of Music in New York. Dumas taught at SIUE-ESL's Experiment in Higher Education (1967-68) and years later the city honored Empress Dunham by renaming North Tenth Street after her.

 Besides Davis, other renowned Lincoln High alumni (and contemporaries of “Da-Dum-Dun” honorees) include National Black Theater Founder Barbara Ann Teer, singer/yodeler Leon Thomas, former UN Ambassador Donald McHenry, EBR Writers Club President Roy, Sylvester “Sunshine” Lee (who directs his namesake Cultural Arts Center & Performance Ensemble), and Dr. James Rosser, retired president of California State University-Los Angeles, who graduated from Lincoln High in 1957 with EBR.

 Thousands more could be listed, from Olympian Jackie Joyner Kersee to former Peace Corps Director Reginald Petty to former ESL Schools Superintendent Dr. Lillian A. (Adams) Parks to the late Honorable Wyvetter Hoover Younge of the Illinois House of Representatives.

 Current and late “trustees” of the EBR Writers Club, founded in 1986, include Margaret Walker Alexander, Maya Angelou, Amiri Baraka, Avery Brooks, Haki R. Madhubuti, Quincy Troupe (Davis' biographer), Walter Mosley, Raymond R. Patterson, Barbara Ann Teer, Dr. Jerry Ward, Jr., and Dr. Lena Weathers.

 For information about “Da-Dum-Dun” or the Writers Club, call SIUE English at 618 650-3991; write the Club at P.O. Box 6165, East St. Louis, Illinois 62201; or email [email protected].

[toptecharena]

Lyric McHenry, who appeared on E!’s EJNYC, was found dead Tuesday morning of a suspected drug overdose, according to multiple reports. She was 26.

McHenry was found on a sidewalk at 5 a.m. above the Major Deegan Expressway at Undercliff Ave. and Boscobel Place in Highbridge in the Bronx area of New York, according to NY Daily News.

She was found only wearing a pajama top and underwear, but no pants, Daily Mail reports. According to NY Daily News, a small Ziplock bag of cocaine was found on McHenry, and police suspect she died of an overdose.

After being found, she was taken to Bronx-Lebanon Hospital where she died. McHenry was reportedly 20 weeks pregnant.

A New York Police Department spokesperson tells PEOPLE a 26-year-old female was found unconscious and unresponsive, lying on the sidewalk in the vicinity of Undercliff Avenue and Boscobel Place, within the confines of the 44 Precinct, at approximately 5:05 a.m. on Tuesday.

The N.Y.P.D. would not confirm her identity as it is pending proper family notification.

EMS then responded to the location and transported the woman to Bronx Lebanon Hospital, where she was pronounced deceased, according to the N.Y.P.D. spokesperson. The Medical Examiner will determine the cause of death and the investigation remains ongoing. No obvious signs of trauma were observed.

Her reported death comes hours after she celebrated her birthday during a night out with friends. In videos on her Instagram Story, McHenry was at The Frederick Hotel, the Soho Grand Hotel and the Dream Hotel, and filmed a smiling video of herself in a bathroom wearing a pink dress.

She also shared video of herself sitting at an outside venue beside a male friend, who was documented saying “It’s her birthday” as she blew a kiss to the camera with the N.Y.C. skyline behind them.

Maya McHenry, Lyric’s sister who appeared on EJNYC, was also out celebrating and documented the evening on her Instagram Story. “Happy birthday to my sister! Why does she look so bomb? It’s a joke, okay,” Maya said as McHenry smiled into the camera while sitting beside the same male friend.

Happy Birthday to my beautiful sister I’m so lucky to have you in my life and that YOU’RE my big sister. I wouldn’t choose anyone else! Your wisdom and talent amazes me more and more each day. I love you Lyric and thank you for always supporting me and having my back.

EJNYC premiered on E! in 2016 and lasted for one season, starring Magic Johnson’s son, EJ Johnson.

Last week, Johnson celebrated McHenry’s birthday with a loving social media post.

“Happy birthday to my best friend who has strutted with my in princess gowns since day 1 @lyric_leigh words cannot express how much I love and appreciate you in my life. Your constant love, respect and companionship gives me the confidence to live my truth every single day and I am so blessed that even as baby divas we recognized the greatness in each other.
