With his work on This Is Us complete, Sterling K. Brown's first new release is the comedy film Honk for Jesus, Save Your Soul, in which Brown and Regina Hall star as a couple who try to revive their disgraced church. Brown has proven himself adept at both drama and comedy in the past, with his Emmy Award wins for dramas This Is Us and The People vs. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story being balanced out by his nominations for comedies Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Part of Brown's success in multiple genres comes from the way he learned about acting, and he shared that philosophy with us.

Honk for Jesus, Save Your Soul opens in theaters and starts streaming on Peacock this Friday.

On this date in history:

In 323 B.C., Alexander the Great died of fever in Babylon at age 33.

In 1910, former President Theodore Roosevelt cured a severe case of seasickness which overcame his daughter Ethel's dog, Bongo.

In 1944, the first German V-1 "buzz bomb" hit London.

In 1966, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Miranda vs. Arizona, ruled that police must inform all arrested people of their constitutional rights before questioning them.

In 1971, The New York Times began publishing top secret, sensitive details and documents from 47 volumes that comprised the history of the U.S. decision making process on Vietnam policy, better known as the Pentagon Papers. Daniel Ellsberg, a former U.S. military analyst, leaked the documents to Times reporter Neil Sheehan.

In 1976, Arizona Republic investigative reporter Don Bolles died as a result of injuries suffered when a bomb blew up his car 11 days earlier. He had been working on an organized crime story at the time of his death.

In 1977, James Earl Ray, convicted assassin of Martin Luther King Jr., was captured in a Tennessee wilderness area after escaping from prison.

as true as it is that some people are being cringy af about it, the Depp vs Heard trial is for many the O.J Sympson trial of this generation. We need to get ready for a dramatization in about 30 years that will win a lot of awards.

PULP FICTION

 I chose to blog on the famous, (or infamous, depending on whom you are asking,) 1994 film “Pulp Fiction,” written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. I remember seeing this film as a young teen at my friend's home, as this was not a film that was allowed in my home. The sheer Brazen nature of the film caught me off guard, even in my youth. I could not believe that a film could get away with such outright crudeness and violence. Although the film was a far stretch from the innocent and family-oriented films I was used to, for instance, the 1990 film “Home Alone,” it still painted such a verbally epic picture with so many lessons to learn. Many of these lessons or “easter egg morals” if you will, came to me after watching the film in my later years and having experienced some of these complex emotions myself. Watching this film again stirred up the same emotions and questions that I had the first time I watched it.  

The thing that struck me the first time that I watched it and still strikes me today is the intertwining of the characters and humanity in all of them, gangsters, and all. As Robert Ebert poignantly says of the film “If the situations are inventive and original, so is the dialogue. A lot of movies these days use flat, functional speech: The characters say only enough to advance the plot. But the people in "Pulp Fiction" are in love with words for their own sake.” I must agree with this statement, the verbiage and one-liners played out in this film are noteworthy and memorable to many, I still quote many lines in the movie and was moved again when watching this recently.  

The mini-documentary below “Pulp Fiction-The Making” gives great context to the story of not only “Pulp Fiction,” but Quentin Tarantino’s journey as a writer/director. Having already written “Natural Born Killers,” “True Romance” and “Reservoir Dogs” (all considered arguable masterpieces,) Quentin Tarantino was still unknown, surprisingly. Mr. Tarantino speaks of meeting Lawrence Bender, who later became the producer of “Pulp Fiction” at a party, this is where they developed and agreed upon the making of “Reservoir Dogs,” and developed the relationship to later create “Pulp Fiction.” A struggling writer, Quentin had made money from script writing but was still couch surfing and grappling to find his place in the film world.  

Pulp Fiction was made for under 10 million dollars and became not only a critically acclaimed film but also inevitably commercially prosperous, winning acknowledgments such as the Palme d’Or, also at the Cannes Film Festival and earning seven Academy Award nominations, one of which included Best Picture. Tarantino and Roger Avary received the Oscar that year for Best Screenplay for Pulp Fiction as well (history.com).   

Quentin wrote the script unconventionally, nothing ends in a traditional sense, nor does it have the conventional sense of storyline. Most of the plot is mildly offensive (at best) and there is no normalcy to the timeline or the traditional antagonistic vs. Protagonist typical of a conventional film. Most of the actors were not “A list,” Quentin did cherry-pick John Travolta, however, who was known. John said of the script when he read it “I thought it was one of the best scripts that I had ever read, dark, but great.”  

One thing that Is interesting about the timing of the release of this film was America’s climate at the time. There were many national scandals, two that stick out being O.J Simpson and his infamous car chase and murder case, with him the accused that followed highlighting the tragic murder of Nicole Brown Simpson, (his ex-wife) and her friend Ronald Lyle Goldman. Also, the attack on Olympic figure skater Nancy Kerrigan by her rival skater Tanya Harding, in an attempt to sabotage Nancy’s chances of taking the gold medal in the 1994 Olympics. These acts of violence and contempt created a “fitting” background for the ruthless stories of violence and unbashful corruption shown in the film.  

The film “Pulp Fiction” had an original budget of $8,000,000, and made $213,928,767 worldwide (Boxofficemojo). It was made under the same umbrella as "reservoir dogs," with, in Quentin's words "using old forms of storytelling and then purposefully having them run array" The film was not made to be the "cult classic" that it became but the intelligence and magnetic pull of it was undeniable. Watching this film again brought all of the same emotions to the surface that I had the first time I watched it, fear, laughter, shock, and a little bit of a cringe factor as well. With the quote "Zed's dead baby, Zed's dead" as Bruce Willis famously gets on his chopper with his girlfriend exclaiming his protagonist is gone and the famous ending diner scene posted below, "Pulp Fiction" is seamlessly filled with the good, the bad and the in between.

One thing is for sure this is a film that has changed the way that I personally look at film, the way that I look at protagonists and more so antagonists in film, who in this film seem to stand on blurred lines. This movie gave me the ability to love the villains as much as the hero's, allowing them to show that there maybe is a little of both in all of us.

You think I don’t understand the situation? I get it. It’s payback. O.J.’s the first black defendant in history to get off because he’s black. The people will see who the police really are… And the people saw was how well you can twist the system. This isn’t some civil rights milestone. Police in this country will keep arresting us, keep beating us, keep killing us. You haven’t changed anything for black people here. Unless, of course, you’re a famous, rich one in Brentwood.

Marcia Clark’s treatment in the media.

I don’t care if you care nothing about O.J. I don’t care what you believe if he did it or not.

Marcia Clark’s treatment during the trial by the media was AWFUL. It sick. It’s disgusting and it’s just plain said. Who gives a damn what she looked like - she was out there kicking ass and doing her damn job.

It’s still happening. It’s awful. It makes me sick.

Has anyone ever seen The People V. O.J?

In my Criminal Justice class- The Courts. We’re required to do a thirty minute presentation and five page paper about O. J and his case.

I have a basic understanding about the case, not a good one though, but does watching the Netflix Series help or would it be a waste of my time?
