Niki Blethers: Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio LET’S FREAKIN’ GOOOOOOOOO--

In case it was not already obvious, this was my most anticipated movie of the year. Heck, it was my only anticipated movie of the year. Having learned the hard way just how deeply disappointment stings, I don’t usually get my hopes up this high. But darn it, everything I heard about this movie prior to its release just filled me with too much excitement to ignore, and now that it is finally available to the wider public, it is my great pleasure to say--

HOLY MOTHER OF MARMALADE, DID THIS MOVIE LIVE UP TO MY HYPE AND THEN SOME

(Mild spoilers below the cut, GO WATCH THIS MOVIE IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT IT’S A MASTERPIECE)

First up: stop motion animation. We love to see it. And this movie doesn’t cut any corners with the stop motion. Even the fire is stop motion. The backgrounds are paintings (gorgeous ones at that), not just CG landscapes. The sets are so incredibly detailed I could’ve spent several minutes just staring at any given wide shot. There were very few instances where I could clearly see any effects that were obviously done in a computer. The animators and set builders went hard on this movie, and they have 1000% of my respect for it.

Despite being a whimsical fairy tale, there is a pretty heavy sense of realism with this movie. Like, one scene, you have an overeager Pinocchio singing a cute little song about how excited he is to be alive, and then in the next one, he and Geppetto are walking past buildings plastered with posters promoting Mussolini’s Fascist regime. The way the film balances these two tonal opposites is absolutely genius, and I can’t remember a single instance of a jarring shift in tone. The light and whimsical always eases into the dark and realistic in a way that makes me feel like the two sides couldn’t exist without each other.

Also speaking of realism, CAN I GET A HALLELUJIA FOR SOME HONEST-TO-GOODNESS CATHOLIC REP IN A CURRENT-YEAR CHILDREN’S MOVIE?!

This is obviously a personal thing for me, but I pretty much never see any accurate, respectful portrayals of my religion outside of films that are specifically made for Catholics. And I’ma be real with you, more often than not, the films made specifically for us turn out to be unbearably preachy or saccharine (and they’re never animated--another major point against them). To see a character who simply IS a Catholic (because this is Italy during the 1910s, so it’d be a little out-of-the-ordinary for him not to be), doing his little Catholic things, without it being a huge focus of the story or directly influencing the plot--ie, Catholicism being portrayed as just another normal part of every-day life--GAH. IT WAS JUST REALLY SPECIAL TO ME, OKAY?

Also Geppetto locking Pinocchio in a closet because he doesn’t have time to deal with this, it’s time to go to Mass is a big fat Catholic mood.

Okay, I’ll shut up about the Catholic stuff. Back to the movie.

If I had a nickel for every time David Bradly made me cry with his performance as a struggling father-figure overcoming the estrangement between him and his adopted son, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t very many, but it’s great that it happened twice.

Ewan McGregor practically carries this movie as Sebastian J. Cricket. I knew he was going to be good, but somehow I failed to foresee just how good he truly is in the role. This interpretation of Jiminy Cricket as a mildly self-absorbed novelist who sees Pinocchio as little more than his house for most of the film is just *chef’s kiss.*

Ron Perlman as the Podestà was incredible. I actually didn’t realize it was him until three-fourths of the way through the movie, he just vanishes into the role so smoothly. And gotdang, is that character scary.

Christoph Waltz clearly went all out with Count Volpe and I bet recording sessions with him were very fun.

Gregory Mann did so great for such a little guy! It’s hard to find child actors, and even harder to find child voice actors, but he was fantastic, and really sold the character.

Speaking of characters, OH MY GOSH I LOVE THEM SO MUCH WHERE DO I BEGIN

Geppetto is a very sentimental old guy whose only joy in life was his son Carlo. After Carlo is killed in a bombing raid, Geppetto completely collapses under the weight of his grief. Carving Pinocchio isn’t something he does out of creativity or joy, but rather the result of drunken and despairing rage. The scene is played out as a grotesque and heartbreaking moment, and I LOVE it.

Pinocchio himself is a Very Real Boy from the start--by which I mean, he never shuts up, he gets into everything, he’s kind of a brat, and he brings unbridled chaos to Geppetto’s life in the way that only a young child can. I like it when movies portray children as, y’know, actual children, not just tiny adults. Yeah, kids are loud, they break stuff, they annoy the heck out of you, and they are also so, so precious, they’re worth every second of it.

I’ve already talked about Sebastian J. Cricket so all I’m gonna say here is I felt the line “Oh, the pain! Life is such hideous pain” right down to my core.

This movie covers a lot of heavy themes, such as the difficulties of fatherhood, abuse, war, death, and grief. But it does so in a way that left me with a sense of hope. It doesn’t shy away from the reality of these things, but it assures you that you can endure them, that you can find immense joy even in the midst of great suffering.

To get a little personal for the second time, the way this movie goes about presenting the reality of death and the grief of those left behind resonated with me very deeply. I’m the youngest child in my immediate family, and deep down, there’s a part of me that dreads the day when they will pass on and leave me behind. Barring any unforeseen accidents, I will likely outlive most of my siblings, and I’m lowkey terrified of that inevitablilty. So there was something oddly comforting about a film that speaks directly to my fear like that. A film that doesn’t sugar coat or try to persuade me that it won’t be so bad. A film that tells me my time with my family is so much more precious because it is so fleeting.

So yeah, tears were shed, I’m not ashamed to admit it.

I could probably say a bajillion things more about this movie, but it’s getting late now and I’ve prattled long enough. In conclusion, 10/10, easily the best movie of my year, and I truly think I can forgive Del Toro for Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans now.

As promised, here’s that list of people I will/won’t write for, and also my boundaries etc.

Will do:

Smut✅

Angst✅

Fluff✅

Some averagely kinky stuff✅

x reader fics✅

platonic ships & fics✅

sodomy✅

Queer fics (f character x f reader, m character x m reader etc, I will write for non binary readers too. Please specify the gender you want the reader to be when you request or I will default to non binary)✅

Won’t do:

eating disorder/self harm stuff (I know a lot of people originally used this as a coping mechanism but it eventually evolved into the romanticism of anorexia and self harm and I do not stand for that.)❌

Might do, depends on the request:

Ships between two real people (unless they’re an actual couple I will probably be against this)

People/bands I will write for:

AC/DC (all members)

Alestorm (all members)

Abbath (all members)

Alice In Chains (all members)

Abbath Doom Occulta

Bathory (all members)

Behemoth (all members)

Billy Idol

If there are any members I’ve excluded it is most likely because I fucking hate them. If you submit a request for someone and I refuse to do it then it’s either because: it makes me uncomfortable to write for said person especially if it’s smut, I don’t know enough about them to write a fic or I hate them. It’ll probably be one of those three reasons so please understand and respect that. If there’s someone/a band not on this list or the “won’t do” list, it doesn’t necessarily mean I won’t do them. I might have simply forgotten to add them so please ask.

I will also write for certain non-musicians such as historical figures and/or fictional characters. Give me a shout in requests and I may or may not be willing to write for them. As an example, I will write for Manfred and Lothar von Richthofen. Not musicians but I adore them.

People/bands I will NOT write for:

Any kpop bands.

Any actors/actresses

Deftones (there’s no negotiation. I will not write for Deftones. End of discussion.)

Blink-182 (same as Deftones)

Falling In Reverse (Same reason as Deftones)

Yungblud (come on now. Be serious. Be so for real.)

Panic! At The Disco (fuck no.)

The Beatles (no.)

Mötley Crüe (no❤️)

Tokio Hotel (nothing against them but no thanks)

One Direction (come on.)

C*rey Taylor/most of Slipknot. (I will write for Joey and Jay though, my pookies)

Mindless Self Indulgence (foul ass band I despise all of the members)

And when I said I won’t write a romantic fic between two real people I meant it. Platonic is more than okay, we love some platonic bandmate fluff but beyond that is a fat no unless they’re actually married/dating. So it goes without saying that I will NOT write Davisdurst, don’t even start. Do not.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 - James Gunn and company stick the landing with a brilliant conclusion to Marvel's only coherent stand-alone trilogy of films. It genuinely feels strange that these are Marvel movies, since from the start they've largely felt like their own thing. Sure, to get caught up on this one you'll have to watch two Avengers movies, a Thor movie and a holiday special, and maybe even the silly animated "What If?" But otherwise, this series is mostly untouched by what's happened to The Avengers, and feels like it could have been a standalone series, like the FOX X-Men films, and the Sony Spider-Man films.

The cameo roles in this series are clearly done as a favor to James Gunn rather than to Marvel. Linda Cardellini has a voice role here, despite already having a role in Marvel films elsewhere, as do Judy Greer and Tara Strong (replacing the absent Miley Cyrus). And it's not hard to imagine some earlier Marvel film having some other role for the sort of actors Gunn casts in small roles, like Nathan Fillion, Ving Rhames, Michelle Yeoh, Peter Serafinowicz, Maria Bakalova, Djimon Hounsou, John C. Reilly, Glenn Close, Benicio Del Toro, Lee Pace, Alexis Denisof, Kevin Bacon, Seth Green, Sylvester Stallone, Don Johnson, and so on. He has a tendency to cast older star actors like Kurt Russell who could have populated a hypothetical 90s MCU, or even David Hasselhoff who actually did.

The Guardians films, outside of their Avengers crossovers, feel like a universe unto themselves. The tone is darker, and more violent, with a focus on comedy. At exactly one point in the film, Chris Pratt's Peter Quill, AKA Starlord, says fuck. At other points in the film, actors say "screw" when they clearly mean "fuck." Lloyd Kaufman turns up in these things. Most of the film is about torturing a raccoon, and it's full of strange creatures and body horror that sometimes seems antithetical to selling Happy Meal toys. The villain, Chukwudi Iwuji, as The High Evolutionary, is nastier than MCU villains tend to be, and there's no attempt to humanize him. Which is, to be clear, great. We like a real villain.

The visual style of the film is also distinctive. No muddy greys and browns here. There's bright colors and high contrast, and lots of interesting design. It is certainly in the running for the best-looking Marvel movie, and avoids the samey visual look of some other Marvel productions.

The cast, as ever, is stacked with actors who could have carried a film like this on their own. It's easy to take this cast for granted, but these are all stars, and the movie knows it. Zoe Saldana, who has almost casually starred in a large percentage of the most succesful movies ever made. Bradley Cooper, as the voice of Rocket, a CGI character who might be the real star here. Pom Klementieff and Dave Bautista, delightful as Mantis and Drax. Karen Gillan as Nebula, bringing a steely terminator's edge to a role far away from what she did in Doctor Who. Vin Diesel as Groot, even. Elizabeth Debicki returning as Ayesha.

Oh, and Chris Pratt as Peter Quill AKA Starlord. When we meet him here, he's been drinking away his sorrows over the loss of Gamora. Pratt is a controversial figure these days, due to his apparent right-wing beliefs, and at first there seems to be something wrong with Peter int his film. His trademark charm is entirely absent, at first, and he's not as funny a character in this as he's been previously. But that charm comes back, as Pratt tries to remind Gamora and the audience why we liked Peter Quill in the first place. He's not as big an asshole as he's been at times, and is almost likeable as he finds a certain peace in himself by the film's end.

Will Poulter turns up as Adam Warlock, a cosmic Marvel hero introduced as a secondary villain here, and manages to do something amusing with the character. As with the Nova Corps in the first film, this is a pretty significant Marvel character that James Gunn is using, apparently for his own purposes rather than due to any connection to the MCU. As with the Howard the Duck cameos, it feels like Gunn is doing his own thing. At one point Starlord appeared in the MCU Avengers animated shows without the personality that Chris Pratt gave him, and it felt very strange. Starlord is a very different character here than he was as a Space Cop in the comics, as are Yondu, Mantis, Groot, and so on.

Indeed these movies have very little to do with the Guardians of the Galaxy comics as they initially launched. The films are instead based, loosely, on the Guardians team that launched in the comics in 2008. That team included Adam Warlock and Phylla-Vell, a version of Captain Marvel who technically appears here as a child. But James Gunn has successfully put his own spin on these characters. Rocket Raccoon would probably have been the most recognizable character for old-timers, along with Adam Warlock, but he was never really a headliner until now. Nor was Groot, who was once an old Jack Kirby monster in the comics, and might as well be a different character now entirely.

Mantis, powerful as a C-tier Avenger in the comics, is a less powerful but more memorable character in these. She and Dave Bautista's Drax are socially awkward in different ways, and always doing something funny or interesting. This film also finds the dignity in these characters and sees a certain tragedy in the way they underestimate one another, suggesting that even though they're a memorable onscreen team, they need to move apart in order to grow as people. These films really care about these characters in a way which isn't cliched, telegraphed or predictable.

There's a sense of history here, that the journey these characters have gone on has meant something, over the course of three films, at least four other Marvel appearances and a holiday special. A photo of Stan Lee turns up, as does the actual Michael Rooker. It does have one thing in common with the Avengers films - an assurance that this is still the Guardians of the Galaxy even with a different lineup of characters, and that some of these characters will return.

It won't be the same, though, will it? It's hard to imagine another blockbuster film letting actors like Pom Klementieff be as memorably eccentric as they are here. This trilogy genuinely feels different and special. It had its own cast of characters, some of whom we saw very little of. (Sylvester Stallone makes only brief appearances, but a long history is implied every time.) It left me wanting more, but I'm glad that we got three solid movies with this cast, and that James Gunn - who was briefly fired due to some trolls on Twitter - got to return and do it right.

"Heels" (Serie de TV) 2º temporada

"Heels" está protagonizada por Stephen Amell (Arrow) como Jack Spade, con Alexander Ludwig (Los Juegos del Hambre, Vikingos) interpretando a su hermano menor, Ace. Dan vida a dos hermanos en permanente conflicto.

"Heels" es una historia sobre los hombres y mujeres que persiguen sus sueños en el mundo de la lucha libre profesional de una pequeña ciudad. Ambientada en una comunidad muy unida de Georgia, sigue a una promoción de lucha libre de propiedad familiar mientras dos hermanos y rivales se disputan el legado de su difunto padre. En el cuadrilátero, alguien debe hacer de bueno y alguien debe hacer de su némesis, de heel. Pero en el mundo real, esos personajes pueden ser difíciles de superar, o difíciles de dejar atrás.

Después de casi dos años desde el final de su primera temporada, la aclamada serie dramática de lucha libre "Heels" está de regreso con su segunda temporada, aumentando lo que está en juego dentro y fuera del ring.

Después de la culminante Duffy Wrestling League (DWL), evento principal que cierra la temporada 1, el luchador profesional Jack Spade ( Stephen Amell ) recuerda tiempos más felices con su hermano pequeño Ace Spade (Alexander Ludwig), del que estaba separado. Aislado de Ace y su esposa, Staci (Alison Luff), Jack tiene que sincerarse consigo mismo y reconciliar sus sentimientos no resueltos por la muerte repentina de su padre y el famoso luchador local Tom (David James Elliott). Mientras tanto, indignado por los negocios de los hermanos Spade y sus travesuras en el ring, el propietario de la lucha libre rival Charlie Gully (Mike O'Malley) hace que el rencor entre ellos sea aún más personal.

Al igual que con la primera temporada, la temporada 2 de "Heels" está impulsada en gran medida por las impresionantes actuaciones de Amell y Ludwig . Los dos actores efectivamente construyen sobre las bases que sentaron anteriormente.

"Heels" continúa sin perder el ritmo a pesar de la pausa prolongada, y la química en pantalla de Amell con Ludwig y Luff mantiene su impulso a medida que avanza la temporada.

Amell ofrece algunas de las actuaciones más emocionalmente crudas de toda su carrera hasta la fecha en la temporada 2 y rápidamente hace que la audiencia se dé cuenta de que Arrow se presentó para aprovechar al máximo sus dotes de actuación, incluso en los momentos más tranquilos y sutiles de su personaje.

Si te gusta el wrestling te gustará "Heels" y además cuenta con Phillip Jack «Phil» Brooks, conocido por su seudónimo CM Punk

Recordemos que Amell participó con su personaje Arrow durante varias temporadas en la WWE

What is it like living in Cali? I feel like it is everyone's dream to live there. Have you ever met anyone famous?

Hiii. It’s an amazingly beautiful place, the nature part of it is insane, the beaches are decent (I’m from the Caribbean, so to compare them is a crime but beaches here nice too, water is too cold my taste). California is expensive af, not enough public transportation or efficient enough, the housing/renting is ridiculous, too expensive but regardless, especially the coastal part of it, California is a dream. Melting pot of culture, loads of interesting industries here like film, tv, music, tech, farming and one of the most progressive part of the US (there are still conservative pockets here and there). Food here is amazing in general, you can find almost any ethnicity food or something adjacent within a 1-2 hour car drive. And if you wanna make it in any of those industries, this is the place to be.

I have both seen and meet famous, and semi famous people from different industries. I’ve met loads of indie-music artist like Idles, White Lies, Cola Boyy (local CA musician who now Im friends with), The Japanese House, The Vaccines, the bassist from the Beths. I talked to Blondie’s drummer, super nice guy. Said hello to AFI’s singer David Havok. Said hello to Jonah Hill at a party I was invited by a mutual acquantance, saw Bryan Craston (Mr. white in Breaking Bad) in beach town called Carpinteria. Seen random actor from different series in different cities including Don Johnson (Miami Vice guy, actually talked to him) in Santa Barbara. Saw Rainn Wilson (Dwight from the office) at a movie theater in Camarillo. Saw a bunch and met some skaters in a big contest bc a guy I knew from a band Interviewed for radio once was co-hosting a skate contest at a Vans event. They were all amazing to see in person. I saw and meet Nyjah Houston (big time skater) when he was grinding down a 20 step staircase in downtown and was in the background in one his skateclips and my mom too lol Saw Stacey Peralta (old school skaterboarder and movie director in front of a skate shop) Met Wee Man from Jackass too, took a pic with him. My boyfriend swears he saw Lana del Rey in Santa Barbara, which would be pretty normal bc a lot of LA people come to SB.and definitely saw Sam Elliot ( a star in born/ the big lebowski ) in a Mexican restaurant, etc. Plus Ive meet people who have worked in films in the behind the scenes, like music video directors and cinematographers. If you live in coastal So-Cal this is more likely to happen and if you live in LA, super normal to see them around.

One cool little fact: a friend from back from actually made it out here after years in the industry, and he is the director the DC Comics film Blue Beetle, that comes out this year I think. So, go see my homeboy’s film . First real Latino comic book film (altho we claim Spiderman/Miles Morales too bc he is half PRican). Anyway, that’s it. Beautiful place, but you gotta hustle and network to make it in the big industries but you can also be a normal person and hike or roadtrip and have lots of fun.

«El individuo, en tanto ser desvinculado, actor económico egoísta, nunca ha existido en ninguna condición natural real: fue más bien creado mediante la elaborada intervención del incipiente Estado en la primera modernidad, a comienzos del orden liberal. La imposición del orden liberal se vio acompañada por el mito legitimador que establece que su forma fue libremente adoptada por individuos desinteresados […]

La “individuación” de las personas necesitó no sólo que se separasen los mercados de sus contextos sociales y religiosos, sino además que la gente aceptase que su labor y sus productos no eran más que mercancía estándar sujeta a los mecanismos de conformación de precios, un modo transformador de considerar tanto a las personas como a la naturaleza bajo un nuevo prisma utilitarista e individualista.

Si el liberalismo de mercado requirió tratar tanto a las personas como a los recursos naturales como estas “mercancías ficticias”—como materiales susceptibles de ser usado en procesos industriales—fue para poder disociar los mercados de la moral y “reeducar” a las personas para que pensasen sobre sí mismas en términos de individuos separados de la naturaleza y del resto de seres humanos».

— Patrick J. Deneen: ¿Por qué ha fracasado el liberalismo? [trad. David Cerdá]

The Entertainment Industry Task Force

The building on Fuji Way in Marina del Rey, California, is as nondescript as they come — just another glass and concrete office tower like so many others hunkered in business parks across Los Angeles. But 20 years ago, just a few weeks after the 9/11 tragedy, a group of elite Hollywood figures and a handful of top U.S. Army brass met for a clandestine summit straight out of a Michael Crichton novel.

A lot of what transpired that night is still top secret, but this much we do know: One evening in October 2001, just weeks after al-Qaeda terrorists took down the Twin Towers in Manhattan and maimed the Pentagon, a group of about 30 of Hollywood’s top creatives — A-listers like Oliver Stone, “Law & Order” producer Dick Wolf, “Seven” director David Fincher, “NYPD Blue’s” David Milch and the late John Singleton, to name just a few — were quietly invited to mingle with high-level members of the U.S. military.

The group was officially, though secretly, named the Entertainment Industry Task Force and its mission, which everyone enthusiastically accepted, was to help America prevent another 9/11 by brainstorming terrorist scenarios so out-of-the-box crazy they could only happen in the movies. Unless, that is, al-Qaeda thought of them first. After all, until 2001 nobody had ever imagined — or prepared for the idea — that hijacked planes could be used as deadly missiles against landmark buildings like the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

“The 9/11 attacks had just happened,” A. Michael Andrews II, the now-retired major general who came up with the idea for the meeting, told the The Wrap in an exclusive interview offering details about the group and its membership that have not previously been disclosed. “The Pentagon was in gear and rolling. We had a defense-science board and an Army-science board looking at all the standard actors. But nobody knew what to expect. So, I thought it would be worthwhile to look outside our usual way of thinking about terrorism. I asked if we could get some entertainment industry volunteers together and see if they could dream up plot lines that might expose a weakness in our real-life anti-terrorism network capabilities. It was an opportunity for us to learn and for Hollywood to help.”

To some degree, Hollywood had already been helping. The Institute for Creative Technology, launched in 1999 by the Army Research Lab in affiliation with USC, had been drawing on Hollywood talent for a couple of years as a super-high-tech war-modeling and virtual-reality training facility. Screenwriter John Milius, most famous for penning “Apocalypse Now” and the “Dirty Harry” movies, was said to be an early consultant.

So after 9/11, when the Army decided to corral a bunch of movie and TV execs for a terrorism bull session, it was only natural that they’d hold the confab at the ICT’s marina command center, which turned out to be much cooler-looking on the inside than its drab exterior would suggest. “It had this one door that seemed like it was out of SPECTRE headquarters,” James Korris, a former Universal TV producer who served as the ICT’s creative director during the early 2000s, told The Wrap, referring to James Bond’s nemesis. “It slid open electrically and we even added a sound effect, so it sounded like the doors on the Enterprise.”

The first meeting of the Entertainment Industry Task Force — the acronym EITK somehow never caught on — began at around 7 p.m. and didn’t break up until sometime before midnight. Attendees had so many horrifyingly destructive and diabolical ideas, they decided to meet again a few weeks later for a second session. All signed NDA’s swearing them to secrecy and while there were whispers in Hollywood newsrooms about some sort of hush-hush summit, nobody blabbed a word. In fact, to this day, those who attended have kept their lips sealed; every one of the task force creatives contacted by The Wrap was unavailable to share their memories of the event. One attendee confirmed those who attended, but declined to talk further.

But for the first time, Korris shared with TheWrap the full list of attendees. Some choices were logical, directors and producers behind crime dramas like “Hill Street Blues” and war epics like “Platoon.” Others seemed almost random, like Randal Kleiser, the director of…. “Grease” and “The Blue Lagoon.” Here’s the full roster, complete with noteworthy pre-2001 credits:

David Ayer, screenwriter (“Training Day”) Danny Bilson, Screenwriter (“Viper,” “The Sentinel”) Martha Coolidge, Director Christopher Crowe, Screenwriter (“The Last of the Mohicans”) Steven de Souza, Screenwriter (“Diehard”) David Fincher, Director (“Se7en,” “The Game”) Naomi Foner, Screenwriter (“Losing Isaiah”) Spike Jonze, Director (“Being John Malkovich”) Jerome Gary, Producer (“Pumping Iron,” “Stripper”) Walon Green, Screenwriter (“The Wild Bunch”) Randal Kleiser, Director (“Grease”) Mary Lambert, Director (“Pet Sematary”) Niki Marvin, Producer (“Shawshank Redemption”) David Milch, Executive Producer (“Hill Street Blues”) Jonathan Sanger, Producer (“Elephant Man”) Robert Shaye, Executive, Producer, Director (New Line Cinema) John SIngleton, Director (“Boyz N the Hood”) Oliver Stone, Writer-Director (“Platoon,” “JFK”) Robert Ward, writer (“Hill Street Blues”) Dick Wolf, Producer (“Law and Order”) Joseph Zito, Director (“Friday the 13th”)

According to Korris, who attended both sessions, a large portion of the first meeting was devoted to dissecting and analyzing the mindset of a terrorist. “They spent a fair amount of time trying to figure out what Osama bin Laden was all about,” he says. “What his personality was like, what was driving him. At the time, Bin Laden was a blank slate that we were trying to fill in. So, it was basically character development.” But the group also did a lot of work on story arcs, pitching various potential terrorist plot lines. “I have a whole book full of them but I don’t want to say too much about the specifics,” Korris said. “I don’t want to give anyone ideas. But some of them were common sense and some of them were a little more obscure. It was a lot like being in a writers’ room. They just came up with ideas and I wrote them down and then I made a report.”

That report — which to this day remains unavailable to the public — was ultimately delivered to the highest levels of the George W. Bush administration, with Korris and Andrews flying to Washington, DC for a briefing with Wayne Downing, then the deputy national security adviser in charge of combating terrorism (who reported directly to then-National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice and then-Assistant to the President for Homeland Security Tom Ridge). “Downing was obviously someone who didn’t suffer fools gladly, but he was very gracious and very polite,” Korris said. “I gave him the report but I have no idea what he ended up doing with it.”

Andrews has a similar recollection of the meeting. “I don’t think Downing asked a single question,” he says.

Of course, it’s possible that the report saved lives. Who knows what dastardly plots it might have predicted and helped to foil? Thanks to Oliver Stone and Dick Wolf and the others who devoted brain cells to the anti-terrorism cause, America is possibly a little bit more secure today than when they gathered in the marina. The ICT, which is still around, although no longer headquartered on Fuji Way, is certainly in better shape; its budget, funded primarily by the U.S. Army Research Lab, has ballooned from an initial $45 million in 1999 to close to $300 million today, according to an individual with knowledge of the operation.

And for Hollywood, there was an extra bonus: Some of the ideas cooked up by the Entertainment Industry Task Force came in handy once the attendees got back to their studio lots. “Oh, I think several of them ended up in films,” says Korris. “It wouldn’t shock me if some of the people in the meeting thought, ‘Hey, that’s a good idea.’”

I don’t know how intentional it was, but John Sullivan managed to slip a few references to the actors themselves into OFAH, and it’s so sweet. Like, in one episode Del mentions working at the Tower of London. In real life, David Jason had gone there to study the ravens, in preparation for playing a raven in a play. Boycie mentions how proud he is of his garden, in real life, John Challis loved gardening and even owned a gardening centre at one stage. Roger Lloyd Pack was a huge music fan and enjoyed playing the piano and singing with his friends and family. Trigger is never shown to be musical, himself, but he likes to listen to Uncle Albert play.

Cine: Seis grados de separación (1993)

La noche promete ser de una importancia esencial para John Flanders, "Flan", Kittredge (Donald Sutherland) y su esposa Ouisa (Stockard Channing, nominada al Oscar a la Mejor Actriz): están frente a su amigo e inversor Geoffrey Miller (Sir Ian McKellen), con quien está a punto de cerrar la venta de una pintura de Paul Cézanne. El negocio es millonario, pero les cae la inesperada visita de un muchacho que afirma haber sido asaltado. Éste se hace llamar Paul (Will Smith, que entonces estaba saboreando las mieles del éxito como rapero y como protagonista de la sitcom "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air") y, además, los sorprende confirmándoles que es compañero de la universidad de sus hijos y que es hijo del gran actor Sidney Poitier. Su carisma es indudable y no tarda en sorprenderlos con su profusa cultura literaria, sus dotes culinarios y anécdotas variadas sobre su presunto padre.

Conmovidos por tan extraordinaria personalidad, la pareja, luego de sanar su herida, le permite pasar la noche en su casa y le da cincuenta dólares. A la mañana siguiente, le encuentran en la cama con un prostituto (Lou Milione) y, en medio de un gran escándalo, echan a ambos del departamento noyorquino. Hablando con amigos, descubren que el modus operandi del muchacho es similar y emprenden la tarea de buscar a tan extraño, aunque encantador, personaje, para intentar evitar que continúe con su desquiciada cruzada.

La historia es increíble, pero real: su inspiración es David Hampton, un adolescente que estafó a estrellas de la magnitud de Melanie Griffith, Calvin Klein o Gary Sinise haciéndose pasar por David Poitier, hijo de, claro, Sidney Poitier. Hampton recibió una condena que iba de los dieciocho meses a los cuatro años de prisión y murió en 2003 por complicaciones del sida. Luego llegaría la pieza teatral, escrita (al igual que el guión de esta película) por John Guare. La dirección recayó en el australiano Fred Schepisi, quén se valió de talentos actorales como Mary Beth Hurt, Heather Graham, Bruce Davison, Richard Masur, Eric Thal, Kelly Bishop, Anthony Rapp, J. J. Abrams (sí, el director de "Star Wars, el despertar de la fuerza" y "Star Trek") y, en el rol de Trent Conway, el primer incauto qua cae ante los encantos de Paul, Anthony Michael Hall.

Cumpleaños 🎂

65 cumpleaños de Michelle Pfeiffer

Michelle Pfeiffer celebra su cumpleaños con su regreso a la gran pantalla, en la nueva entrega de "Ant-Man y la Avispa: Quantumania", y dejando a su paso una estela de personajes icónicos en películas que ya son consideradas clásicos de Hollywood.

Mucho ha cambiado desde que interpretó a Sue Wellington en la recordada película "Volver al amor". Con tan solo veinte años Pfeiffer se dio a conocer, como muchas otras actrices, en un certamen de belleza.

Su belleza le hizo vencer en un concurso de belleza y convertirse en Miss Orange County, con lo que consiguió mayores amplitudes en su nueva profesión. Para preparar su carrera como actriz, Michelle estudio interpretación en el Beverly Hills Playhouse. Sus primeros trabajos delante de la cámara fueron anuncios publicitarios.

Fue nominada al Oscar como mejor actriz secundaria por su papel en la película "Las Amistades Peligrosas" en el año 1988 y como mejor actriz principal por la cinta "Los Fabulosos Baker Boys" y "Por Encima De Todo". Consiguió ganar el Globo de Oro por Los "Fabulosos Baker Boys".

Poco después de llegar a Hollywood, la actriz cayó presa de una secta que disuadía a sus miembros de comer y tomar agua. Según Pfeiffer, eran “respiracionistas”, un grupo que afirma que el ser humano se nutre únicamente de la luz del sol, que aspira a la perfección espiritual, y aconseja a sus seguidores que sólo necesitan la luz del sol para existir. Sin duda uno de los momentos más complicados de su vida.

En el año 1981 la actriz de California se casó con el actor y director Peter Horton, conocido por la serie “Treinta y tantos”. Fue él quién la ayudó a salir de la secta en la que estaba metida. La pareja no sólo eran marido y mujer, sino que también trabajaban juntos en varios proyectos durante su matrimonio, el cual terminó en divorcio en 1988.

El currículum amoroso de Pfeiffer es amplio y entre los hombres que han estado en su vida destacan algunos como: Mickey Swenson, Val Kilmer , Alec Baldwin, John Malkovich, Michael Keaton o Fisher Stevens. También se habló de un encuentro romántico con Dodi Al Fayed así como de encuentros clandestinos con Kevin Costner. Pero sin duda su relación con Malkovich fue la que más dio que hablar.

Se dice que durante el rodaje de la película "Relaciones peligrosas", hubo algunos paralelismos entre el argumento y lo que sucedía cuando se apagaban las cámaras. Mientras el personaje de Malkovich intentaba seducir al de Pfeiffer, en la vida real los dos actores iniciaron una aventura que provocaría el fin del matrimonio del actor con Glenne Headly. Después de aquello, Malkovich regresó con su esposa y Michelle guardó silencio. Un escándalo que aún resuena en Hollywood debido al alcance que adquirió.

Michelle Pfeiffer tiene dos hijos: Claudia Kelley y John Henry Kelley. La primera fue adoptada por la actriz en el año 1993. En agosto de 1994, Pfeiffer dio a luz a John, primer y único hijo biológico de la actriz fruto de su matrimonio con David Helley.
