The subtle differences in these clouds and the slight differences in the trees are now more apparent to me. The critter 'menacing' the gorilla is looking a bit like a T Rex now and that pointy hat witch got a nose today that I'd not noticed before.
Watched Straight Outta Compton last night and though it is very hard to watch and a cast list program or a score card to keep track of which NW Attitude we were seeing might have helped me, it's a dynamic and strong polemic that indicts the LA Police, indeed all cops, painting with a broad brush, but if the Rodney King trial is any indication, that brush isn't so broad after all. Insights into the rise of hip hop and rap 'music' comes in huge bites.
An actor pal was raving about BROOKLYN in a FB post and I found it a snooze. Granted that Saorise Ronan is a lovely and nuanced actress, but the film, itself, was not invigorating.. to me. That's what makes a horse race..and an Oscar contest, too. Part of the problem with Oscar these days is that when you have eight Best Picture Contenders that are so incredibly different, it becomes 'apples and oranges' or Mars vs. 1800's Canada .. very difficult to compare. Why wasn't Ridley Scott was not mentioned as director of The Martian? The Revenant is epic, of course.
On the radio today the film editor (I think) from the Hollywood Reporter had a chat w/ Larry Mantle on KPCC. I cannot find the woman's name... but her voice was so annoying that I wannnnnnnnnted to caaaaaaaaaaaall up Larrrrrrrrrry and tellllll himnnnnnn to dump her! She was annoyingly nasal and .. well.. just annoying. Thank goodness she is a journalist and an on air personality.
What do you think? Charlotte Rampling for 45 Days just for old time's sake and Stallone for Creed for the same reason?
hug someone..
