The Weekend Warrior Home Edition May 8, 2020 – CLEMENTINE, SPACESHIP EARTH, BLUE STORY, VALLEY GIRL, ARKANSAS, HOW TO BUILD A GIRL and more!

And the summer that never was continues with no new movies in theaters unless you include a number of select drive-ins scattered across the country. There’s a lot of new stuff out this weekend, some good, some bad, but we’re getting to a point where every distributor big or small is dumping their movies to VOD in hopes of making money. But I guess that means there’s a lot more options of things to see, right?

The Virtual Oxford Film Festival continues this Friday with the virtual premieres of Steve Collins’ comedy I’ve Got Issues and the unrelated doc feature, I Am Not Alone (Note: both of these are only available for folks in Mississippi!). Also, the Hello, Gorgeous Shorts block (love the names they come up with to put these shorts together!) will debut with 8 new shorts, including Bad Assistant. You can get tickets to all of these things at the festival’s Eventive page.

For the next few days only, you can also win the Oxford Film Festival award-winning short Finding Cleveland right here for free! The film directed by Larissa Lam that follows husband Baldwin Chiu’s journey to Mississippi to investigate his roots will have its feature version, Far East Deep South, premiere as part of Oxford’s virtual festival in June.

One of the better films I watched this week (I guess that makes it this week’s “Featured Film”) is Lara Gallagher’s feature debut CLEMENTINE (Oscilloscope), a seemingly simple two-hander indie drama showcasing two fantastically talented actors in Otmara Marrero and Sydney Sweeney (HBO’s Euphoria). Marrero plays Karen, a young woman looking to get away after ending a relationship with a significantly older woman, deciding to break into her lover’s isolated lakeside home. There, she encounters Sweeney’s Lana, a mischievous younger teen of indeterminate age who Karen befriends. The two of them get closer as Karen is still in mourning for her previous relationship, but as she learns more about Lana, things clearly aren’t what they seem.

Gallagher has written a sweet and subdued character piece that at times veers into thriller territory but never goes so far across that line to take away from the drama. At the film’s core is the mystery about the two young women and their respective pasts, because we don’t even learn that much about Karen before heading to the lakeside house.

where there’s a lot of mystery about both of the young women at the story’s core, There were aspects of the movie that reminded me of the recent dramatic thriller Tape, where there’s also an aspect of sexual abuse and revenge, but it really never goes to places that might be expected. I’m a little bummed that I missed this at Tribeca last year, and part of that can be blamed on the enigmatic title which doesn’t really give a sense of what the movie is about at all. But Gallagher and her cast have done a fantastic job with a film that’s not necessarily easy to define or describe but leaves you with a warm feeling that films like this can still be made. (See Never Rarely Sometimes Always as another example of this.)

Now might be the perfect time for Matt Wolf’s new doc, SPACESHIP EARTH (Neon), which is all about the eight people who locked themselves into Biosphere II in the early ‘90s with the plans to live inside the ecologically self-contained environment for two years. Neon had two amazing scientific docs in 2019, Apollo 11 and The Biggest Little Farm, both which were in my Top 10 for the year, so imagine my disappointment when neither of them received Oscar nominations. Wolf previously directed 2013’s Teenage and last year’s Recorder: The Marion Stokes Project, the latter being a decent doc using archival footage, and Spaceship Earth mixes all of the amazing archival footage with interviews with many of the key characters. In case you weren’t familiar with Biosphere II, it was an experiment set up where 8 individuals would spend two years inside an environment that’s meant to be fully self-sufficient. Wolf’s film goes back to the start of what was essentially a theater group who put together a number of global projects before tackling Biosphere II, a project that wasn’t taken very seriously by the scientific community because there were no scientists among the group. It was seen as “ecological entertainment” by some and a cult by others, and those feelings increase when it was discovered that not everything is what it seems. When an accident causes one of the “biospherians” to have to go outside, she ends up sneaking things back into Biosphere II, which is against the rules set up by the group. It’s a fairly fascinating doc if you were around during this time but only heard about it filtered through the news and the PR, but Wolf’s film goes deep into the project and the controversy surrounding it, as well as when it inevitably goes wrong. Wolf manages to get many of those involved, including the group’s leader, John Allen, and there’s even an appearance by another figure from U.S. politics who had their own documentary just last year! This is a really strong doc that is getting a digital release and apparently, it will even be screened on the sides of some buildings, which is a cool idea in this time where there aren’t many theaters.

A relatively big hit in the UK, BLUE STORY (Paramount), the directorial feature debut of British rapper Rapman, adapted from his own YouTube series, is now available via digital download, having originally been planned to get a US theatrical release in March. It’s about the friendship of two young British teens, Timmy and Marco, from the Peckham area of London but from opposite sides of what’s become a violent street gang feud. I saw this movie way back on March 11, and I had to rewatch it more recently since I had forgotten whether I liked it or hated it. I’m probably somewhere more in between, as I thought the young leads, Stephen Odubola (Timmy) and Micheal Ward (Marco), were both terrific in a movie that generally had some storytelling and pacing issues.

Honestly, I didn’t understand a lot of what was going on due to the heavy accents (even with the necessary subtitles), but it also didn’t really stand up to last year’s Les Miserables, a film set in a similar setting in France, but that one was nominated for an Oscar after being submitted by France. Besides writing and directing, Rapman also acts as the film’s ad-hoc narrator through a number of raps that gives his film a bit of a hip-hop musical feel. I’m not sure I was crazy about this decision since a lot of the time he is recapping something that we just saw take place.

The film definitely has a unique energy, as the first half alternates between youthful innocence and faux machismo, neither which generally does very much for me. I did enjoy the film’s romantic underpinnings as it shows young love between Timmy and a classmate named Leah (Karla-Simone Spence) , but that storyline comes to an abrupt and shocking halt about 45 minutes into the movie before the story jumps forward three years into something very different. (To be honest, the romantic aspects were handled in a far more interesting way in the recent indie Premature.) The movie does get far more dramatic and tense in this last act, while it also shows what a talented cast Rapman has put together in order for them to shift gears into the very different tone the movie then takes. It’s a jarring change, but it adds to what Rapman was trying to do in making Blue Story an almost-Shakespearean coming-of-age story set against an authentic urban landscape. I’m not 100% sure Blue Story will connect with young urban Americans in the same way as it clearly did in the UK, because the dialect and slang that pervades the film often makes it difficult to follow, but it’s quite a striking debut from the rapper/filmmaker.

Next up is VALLEY GIRL (Orion Pictures), a musical remake of Martha Coolidge’s 1983 movie that introduced many people to one Nicolas Cage. The new movie is directed by Rachel Lee Goldenberg (A Deadly Adoption, “The Mindy Project”), and it stars the wonderful Jessica Rothe (Happy Death Day) as Julie Richman, the valley girl of the title who is going to high school with her valley girl friends but becomes enamored with the punk kid Randy (Josh Whitehouse), who comes from a very different world. I’m not sure what else I can tell you about Valley Girl, since I’m under embargo on this one until Friday, so I’m not sure if I can tell you if it’s good or bad. I will say that if you like popular ‘80s groups like Modern English and others, the movie may give you a smile. It also stars Alicia Silverstone as the older Julie, telling her own daughter this story in a framing sequence, as well as Judy Greer as Julie’s mother and others, such as Mae Whitman, who can really belt it out in her role as Randy’s bandmate, “Jack.” This is supposed to open in some of those aforementioned drive-ins, as well as being available digitally.

Getting away from this week’s musicals, Clark Duke co-wrote and stars in his feature film directorial debut, ARKANSAS (Lionsgate), based on John Brandon’s novel. I haven’t read the novel, but Clark plays a lowlife named Swin, a drug-runner along with his partner Kyle (Liam Hemsworth), both of them pretending to be park rangers. Kyle is particularly interested in learning more about their enigmatic boss, the Arkansas-based drug kingpin known only as “Frog,” but their business arrangements get more complicated.

I had a few problems with this movie, much of it coming from the relatively weak writing that comes across like it was made by someone who has watched way too many Scorsese or Tarantino movies without really understanding why those filmmakers’ movies are so brilliant. I hate to say it, because I generally like Duke as an actor, but casting himself in the role of Swin without doing much beyond growing a moustache to make himself look sleazier really didn’t much for the material. He was a very odd pairing with the rugged and tougher Hemsworth.

The best part of the film is when it flashes back to 1985 West Memphis and we meet the actual “Frog,” played by Vince Vaughn, and we see him interacting with Michael K. Williams’ “Almond,” who he betrays to take over his drug business. I liked this bit of the movie even if Vaughn’s accent wasn’t great, but then we’re back to Duke and Hemsworth in present day, and that doesn’t hold up as well. Clarke overcomplicates things by creating a non-linear narrative that jumps back and forth in time and between two storylines – again, like Pulp Fiction – but the storytelling and dialogue doesn’t do enough to make up for the confusion this cause.

Clark certainly has brought on some decent actors, such as John Malkovich and Vivica A. Fox, but making himself the focus of much of the movie compared to the far more charismatic Hemsworth, hurts the movie more than helps it. I didn’t hate Eden Brolin as Swin’s love interest, Johnna, but they really didn’t enough chemistry to make them believable as a couple. Don’t get me wrong. I definitely commend Clark on taking on such a big project as his directorial debut, and it definitely grew on me, but it’s an erratic piece that pays tribute to far better films and that is its biggest detriment. Originally planned for a theatrical release on May 1, Arkansas will instead hit Apple, Amazon, On Demand platforms, DVD and Blu-Ray on Tuesday.

Beanie Feldstein from last year’s Book Smart stars in Coky (“Harlots”) Giedroyc’s HOW TO BUILD A GIRL (IFC Films) as Johanna Morrigan, an ambitious 16-year-old from Wolverhampton, England who gets a job at music magazine “D&ME.” She creates an alter-ego pseudonym for herself in Dolly Wilde, and quickly learns she has to be mean in order to succeed and earn the respect of her peers as one of the UK’s most hated music journalists, even after falling in love withs (and then betraying) rock star John Kite (Alfie Allen, who also was on “Harlots”).

Based on British journalist Caitlin Moran’s 2014 semi-autobiographical novel of the same name, I definitely should have liked this movie more, having been a regular reader of the Melody Maker around the time Moran would have been writing for it. The screenplay she’s co-written adapting her own book isn’t great, and everyone involved just seems to be trying too hard to be funny and failing miserably.

I guess the biggest issue, once you adjust to Beanie Feldstein’s British accent, which falls somewhere between Harry Potter and the Beatles, is that it’s hard to care about her character even a little, since she’s acting all quirky one second and then becomes a monster as the film goes along. Johanna is just annoying and when she transforms into “Dolly,” she becomes even worse.

Paddy Considine plays Johanna/Dolly’s father, who still has aspirations of being a rock star after giving birth to a huge brood of children. There’s a few other small roles from other actors like Emma Thompson, Michael Sheen and Gemma Anderton, many of them portraying Johanna’s author inspirations talking to her from her wall of idols.

How to Build a Girl is just another example of the sad state of British comedies, although there are a few shining stars like last year’s Yesterday, which was in my top 10, and this year’s Emma. This one just isn’t particularly funny, and there’s a general feeling of been-there seen-that, as it tells a fairly typical rise and fall story where Dolly’s debauchery turns into an awful human being, and it’s not like I liked her much to begin with. She isn’t as funny as intended and then she gets awful, and it’s impossible to feel bad for her when things ultimately go wrong. Anyway, five minutes later, everything is fine.

It’s the type of autobiographical thing that a writer writes to make themselves look like some kind of hero, and it reminds me a bit of last year’s Blinded by the Light in some ways. h I know a lot of people liked the movie, but I wasn’t really a fan at all. This movie is even less funny and not particularly original, making it feel about as pretentious as the British music press became in the ‘90s. Either way, it will be available to watch at home via VOD as well as in some open drive-ins where applicable.

There are a ton more movies this week, and unfortunately, I didn’t get to fully watch many of the movies below, though I still hope to watch more of these over the next few days and may add a few more reviews.

I heard good things about Christophe Honoré’s comedy ON A MAGICAL NIGHT (Strand Releasing), particularly about Chiara Mastroiani’s performance as Maria, which won her an acting award at last year’s Cannes. She plays Maria, a woman dissatisfied with her marriage of 20 years, who moves into a hotel room across the street after getting into an argument with her husband (singer Benjamin Biolay). I haven’t gotten through it yet as it seems, like so many French movies, to be very talky, but I’ll try to get to it. It will open virtually as part of Film at Lincoln Center’s virtual cinema, following its debut at the “Rendezvous with French Cinema” series that was unfortunately cut short midway this year.

Also continuing this weekend is Cinema Tropical’s “Cinema Tropical Collection” of Brazilian films, this week’s being Caetano Gotardo’s YOUR BONES, YOUR EYES, in which the filmmaker stars as João, a middle class São Paulo filmmaker who has long conversations and monologues with the people around him.

There are a few other docs available virtually this week, including Sasha Joseph Neulinger’s REWIND (FilmRise), a collection of home videos from 20 years ago, when his father would film family gatherings but also documenting a family secret that would lead to a media firestorm and a court battle. The film will be available to stream and download on iTunes, Prime Video, GooglePlay and Microsoft this Friday, and then will air as part of PBS’s Independent Lens on Monday, May 11.

The Maysles Cinema in Harlem is continuing its virtual cinema with Alex Glustrom’s MOSSVILLE: WHEN THE GREAT TREES FALL, which will be available for a 48-hour VOD rental for $12 from Thursday through April 14 with a Zoom QnA with the filmmakers on Saturday at noon Eastern. The film centers around Mossville, Louisiana, a community founded by former African-American slaves that has been overrun by petrochemical plants and toxic clouds that have forced residents from their homes. Glustrom’s film focuses on Stacey Ryan, a man who refuses to abandon his family’s land and fights for his own human rights.

Apparently, William Nicholson’s HOPE GAP (Screen Media) is getting a second chance to be seen on VOD after a rather half-hearted theatrical release on March 6. It stars Annette Bening as Grace who is dealing with her husband of 29 years (Bill Nighy) leaving her and how that break-up affects their grown-up son (Josh O’Connor).

Following its premiere as part of the virtual Tribeca Film Festival, Emily Cohn’s sex comedy, CRSHD (Light Year), will get a virtual theatrical release in New York, LA and other regional markets. It stars Isabelle Barbier as college freshman Izzy Alden who goes with her best friends (Deeksha Ketkar, Sadie Scott) on a journey to help Izzy lose her virginity.

Also in select theaters, on demand and digital this Friday is José Magán’s The Legion (Saban Films/Paramount), starring Mickey Rourke, Bai Ling and Lee Partridge. It takes place during the invasion of Parthia where two Roman legions are brought to a standstill in Armenia’s snowy mountains where they’re dying from the cold. Their only hope against the cold and the Parthian patrols is half-roman soldier, Noreno, who must cross the mountains to find the men who can help them change the course of this losing battle.

On VOD starting Thursday is Spa Night director Andrew Ahn’s Driveways (FilmRise), starring Hong Chau from HBO’s “Watchmen” and Alexander Payne’s Downsizing as Kathy, a single mother who is travelling with her 8-year-old son Cody (Lucas Jaye) to her dead sister’s house with plans to clean and sell it. There, she befriends a Korean war vet named Del (played by the late Brian Denneny), who quickly bonds with her young son.

Also in theaters and On Demand is Tom Wright’s Walkaway Joe (Quiver Distribution), starring David Strathairn and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, a film about an unlikely friendship between a young boy and a wandering loner, who helps the boy look for his father in pool halls across the country.

STREAMING AND CABLE

This week’s Netflix offerings including the comedy special, Jerry Seinfeld: 23 Hours to Kill, presumably taped at one of his nights in residency at the Beacon Theater. The hour-long special is now available and has been said might be Seinfeld’s last special. The Michelle Obama doc, Becoming, will also be on Netflix by the time you read this. It’s the first feature length doc from Nadia Hallgren, and its produced by the Obamas, much like the recent Sundance opener, Crip Camp, and last year’s Oscar winner, American Factory. The second season of Dead to Me also debuts on Friday as well as a number of other series.

In case you missed it earlier in the week, you can now watch last year’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker on Disney+, which means the entire nonology is now on Disney+. You can also watch a new docuseries about the making of last year’s hit, The Mandalorian, called Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian, which has Jon Favreau doing roundtables with some of the creatives with the first episode, “Directing,” now on the service and the second episode, “Legacy,” premiering on Friday.

The new Hulu animated series, Solar Opposites, will premiere on the streaming service this Friday. It’s the new series co-created by Justin Roiland and Mike McMahan (respectively the co-creator and former head writer of Rick and Morty), and it features a voice cast that includes Roiland, Thomas Middleditch, Mary Mack and Sean Giambrone with a huge line of guest voices, including Alan Tudyk, Alfred Molina, Christina Hendricks, Tiffany Haddish and many, many more!

The final film in Lionsgate’s Friday Night at the Movies will be Keanu Reeves’ John Wick, which will show for free on the Lionsgate website on Friday night starting at 9pm Eastern.

Next week, more movies not in theaters!

By the way, if you read this week’s column and have bothered to read this far down, feel free to drop me some thoughts at Edward dot Douglas at Gmail dot Com or drop me a note or tweet on Twitter. I love hearing from readers … honest!

The Silver Garbage Awards: Worst of the Decade

Like with the Bryan Awards, I went back and picked my worst of the decade. Please note, the nominees were nominated as the way they were placed when I originally did these awards. Apologies in advance to anyone that may be offended by certain category placements.

- Eligibility Period is January 1, 2010 to May 31, 2019; which means anything that aired over the Summer or Fall is ineligible. - Sharknado is being entered for ALL of their movies as one. - Lead and Supporting Actor and Actress will be regardless of Comedy and Drama, and if an actor was nominated for multiple shows in that category, they will be nominated for ALL of the shows in that category over the course of the last ten years. - “Winners” will be announced by Friday, as I pick the “Bottom 2″.

And the Unlucky Nominees Are (I archived everything this decade, unlike the 2000s, where a few years suddenly disappeared off the face of the Earth due to the technology I had back then)...

Newport Folk Festival: 7/26-7/28

Brandi Carlile and Dolly Parton sing “I Will Always Love You”

BY MICHAEL KINGSBAKER

Another Newport Folk Festival has come and gone, and yes, it still is the greatest music festival in the world, and it is still my favorite weekend of the year. This year, for the first time in its 60-year history, the festival had an all female-led Saturday night headliner, arguably had its two biggest appearances to date, covered an entire masterpiece album, premiered the biggest female country supergroup ever, and finally found the heir apparent to Pete Seeger on what would be his 100th birth year.

After Pete Seeger passed away in 2014, a gaping hole was left at the Newport Folk Festival. Seeger had been around the festival since its inception, and while festival producer Jay Sweet has captained the ship incredibly since taking over in 2008, the question has remained: Who would hold the seat that Seeger did for years? The musical ambassador of the people and of the music of the Newport Folk Festival? That question was answered loud and clear this year, as Brandi Carlile cemented her rightful seat. Last year was a precursor, when she performed from her Grammy Award-winning album By the Way, I Forgive You and guest performed with Mumford and Sons and during the Change is Gonna Come set. This year, she got handed the keys to the car and packed a Saturday night headlining slot full of talent from the past and present, culminating in a 5-song set from none other than Dolly Parton. Now, Jay Sweet has pulled some pretty big acts during his 12 years on the festival, but he didn’t pull Dolly--Brandi did! She also premiered her new country super group The Highwomen, an all-female answer to The Highwaymen. The former’s reworking of the latter’s namesake song absolutely took my breath away (and was just released), and then Carlile closed out her weekend singing Pete Seeger's classic song "If I Had a Hammer" with Alynda Segarra from Hurray For The Riff Raff.

Overall, this year’s festival was fiercely female, showcasing talents from multiple generations from Parton and Judy Collins, Sheryl Crow, and Linda Perry to Carlile, Rhiannon Giddens, Maggie Rogers, and Yola. The collaboration sets, which really gained steam with the Dylan 65' Revisited set 3 years ago, continued this year and actually tripled, with the Saturday night All-Female Collaboration, along with a last minute addition of a complete cover of Graham Nash's "Song for Beginners" led by Kyle Craft with an all-star cast of Newport favorites. Finally, on Sunday, Pete Seeger was celebrated with set entitled "If I Had a Song" where audiences were given song books with which to sing along. It opened with Jim James singing “The Rainbow Connection” with perhaps the second biggest star to ever appear at the Newport Folk Festival in Kermit the Frog. I was also pleased to see that Our Native Daughters were asked to participate in the Seeger Celebration, singing the Seeger tune "If You Miss Me at The Back of The Bus" and joining Mavis Staples and Hozier for "Keep Your Eyes on The Prize". Two years ago, for the SPEAK OUT set at Newport (intended to be a platform for artists to speak out about issues of our times), I was critical of the set’s lack of diversity. I noted that both Rhiannon Giddens and Alynda Segarra gave the most topical and stirring performances of that festival but were absent at that finale. Well, this year, they both hit the stage and had their voices heard with songs of protest to make up for lost time.

It's good to know this incredible festival is in good hands and has its ears open. I'm already looking forward to next July. Until then, here's a few photos to pass the time.

Newport is always a place to make discoveries. Saturday morning, the audience was woken up to the raucous duo of Illiterate Light.

Liz Cooper & The Stampede bent over backwards (literally) to electrify the audience at the Quad on Friday with their psychedelic soundscape.

Recent Tony Award winner Anais Mitchell and The Milk Carton Kids at The Harbor Stage, singing Graham Nash's "Simple Man" as part of the Songs for Beginners set.

After a last minute dropout from Noname due to illness, Festival producer Jay Sweet was left with a hole at the Harbor Stage on Saturday. After tweeting about the brilliance of Graham Nash's album Songs for Beginners and the responses it garnered, an idea sparked. A supergroup of Newport faithful led by Kyle Craft, including Hiss Golden Messenger, Lake Street Dive, Amy Ray, The Tallest Man on Earth, and more played the album from start to end. I think we may have just started a new Newport tradition--might I suggest Neil Young's Harvest next year?

Lukas Nelson and The Promise of The Real rocked the Quad Stage on Friday, closing the set with a rendition of Neil Young's "Rockin’ in the Free World" but slowed things down with reminders to Turn Off the News (Build a Garden), and song about an ex named Georgia that made performing with his father singing "Georgia On My Mind" every night a little tricky.

British singer-songwriter Yola was everywhere at the Newport Folk Festival, performing her own set at the Harbor stage as well as at the Quad with both The Highwomen and Dawes. Here, she takes the stage at the Fort during The Collaboration with the First Ladies of Bluegrass covering The Eurythmics’ "Sisters Are Doin’ It For Themselves".

After appearing last year as a guest to Mumford & Sons and others, this year, Maggie Rogers got the Fort stage all to herself to dance in and out of her sound equipment and share her debut album Heard It in a Past Life with Newport.

Every year, there's an act that brings Quad to its feet and doesn't let them sit back down. This year, Jupiter & Okwess invited everyone to fill in the fire lanes, and a 45-minute dance party ensued, capping off with a collaboration with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.

Phosporescent returned to the Quad stage with hypnotic grooves and chill vibes, keeping all the heads bobbing inside the old fort.

I'm With Her returned, bringing their sweet blend of harmonies bridging old-time music to the present, including covers of The Vampire Weekend and Joni Mitchell.

This year was all about the women, and the fellas came to support. Jason Isbell, who generally headlines festivals like these, wasn't even given a microphone. Here, Amanda Shires (who happens to be his wife) allows him to share a few thoughts as they introduced a song they co-wrote, "If She Ever Leaves Me", dubbed the first gay country song, which was sung moments later by Brandi Carlile.

Each year, the festival producer comes out to the early birds waiting for the gates to open to welcome them back and remind them to BE PRESENT, BE KIND, BE OPEN, and BE TOGETHER. There isn't a place in the world that's easier to do those four things.

It's always fun to see what surprise guests will show up to the festival that aren't officially listed. This year’s guests included Jim James, Kermit The Frog, Dolly Parton, James Taylor...you know that this list might end up being bigger than the actual lineup. Here's surprise guest Tallest Man on Earth, who joined both the Songs for Beginners set as well as The Cooks in the Kitchen.

Hozier returned for his 3rd appearance, singing a duet with Mavis Staples for their song "Nina Cried Power". He also gave over the stage to Brandi Carlile during his set for her to sing her hit “The Joke”. Here, he joins with Lake Street Dive for a cover of Sly & The Family Stone’s "Everyday People".

Jade Bird had her own solo set at The Fort stage but joined in on The Collaboration, seen here singing "What's Up" with Linda Perry and Brandi Carlile.

Phil Cook has become a regular staple at the festival. His love and respect for the musicians and the music played at the festival has endeared himself to both fans and musicians alike. For his set, Cooks in the Kitchen, Phil, who always seems up for a collaboration, was joined by his brother Brad as well as Tallest Man on The Earth’s Kristian Matsson, Amy Ray of The Indigo Girls, and Anais Mitchell.

Molly Tuttle, who had her own set with guitarist Billy Strings, joined The First Ladies of Bluegrass, Courtney Marie Andrews, and others for a cover of “Big Yellow Taxi” at the Collaboration Set Saturday.

Just a man, his guitar, and a huge open stage. Jeff Tweedy charmed the audience at the Fort on Saturday claiming he wanted to "hug you with his sad shit."

Rhiannon Giddens returned to the Newport Folk Festival with the most powerful and gut-wrenching set of the festival, joined by Amythyst Kiah, Leyla McCalla, and Allison Russell to form the group Our Native Daughters, singing songs addressing American historical issues that have influenced the identity of black women. This marked only their 6th live performance, performing in Connecticut a week earlier for the first time. Emotions were overflowing both on stage and in the audience, as each artist (each of whom played multiple instruments) took turns singing songs of sorrow, hope, anger, and joy. It was an experience like no other at the festival.

Linda Perry leading a sing along of "What's Up" at The Collaboration, asking the audience to sing so high, "I wanna touch the fucking stars!" Later, she was on Facebook Live for the introduction of Dolly Parton.

There was a bit of a 90's renaissance at this year’s festival with appearances from Amy Ray, Linda Perry, and former Sleater-Kinney drummer Janet Weiss. Sheryl Crow, who had her own set at the Fort on Friday and later joined The Highwomen that day at the Quad, got in on the fun at The Collaboration on Saturday, performing "If It Makes You Happy" with Maren Morris and "Strong Enough" with Maggie Rogers and Yola.

Newport always does a great job of honoring those who led the way. This year, we saw Judy Collins hit many stages and share stories about a young Bob Dylan writing “Mr. Tambourine Man” on her porch, as well as recalling Stephen Stills singing her "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes", to which she replied "It's a good song, but it won't get me back." Here, she shares the story of a friend discovering Joni Mitchell and bringing her "Both Sides Now", which was sung moments later with Brandi Carlile.

Couples take in the If I Had A Song set at sunset on Sunday, which included a duet from Kermit the Frog and Jim James as well as a serenade to Judy Collins from Robin Pecknold (Fleet Foxes), Eric D. Johnson (Fruit Bats), and James Mercer (The Shins), singing “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes”.

Newport Folk Festival marked the inaugural performance of The Highwomen. Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris, Amanda Shires, and Natalie Hemby, here joined by Yola, opened their set to a powerful reworking of “The Highwaymen”, made famous by Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Waylon Jennings, and Johnny Cash. The Highwomen’s version, written by Carlile, Shires, and Jimmy Webb (the original songwriter) honors the stories of courageous female revolutionaries and includes an additional 5th verse:

"We are The Highwomen / Singing stories still untold / We carry the sons, you can only hold / We are the daughters of the silent generations / You sent our hearts to die alone in foreign nations / It may return to us as tiny drops of rain / But we will still remain.”

A stage full of Newport Folk ladies, including Brandi Carlile, Rachael Price, Maggie Rogers, and Sheryl Crow, bow down to the one and only Dolly Parton. I've seen Roger Waters, Jack White, My Morning Jacket, Jackson Browne, Beck, Levon Helm, and Mumford & Sons headline the Festival. This was the biggest of all the Saturday night headliners.

Second Half Outlook

I follow the Twins, Dodgers, and Giants on a nightly basis and while we push past the All-Star Break here is a look ahead of what all three teams might do moving forward in the second half.

Minnesota Twins:

The Good: The Twins have a 5.5 game lead in the American League Central after a great first half. The offense has been one of the best in baseball with 166 home runs, which is the most in MLB. The team is hitting .272, which is tied with the Red Sox for the highest average in baseball. The Twins are getting through some injuries and Eddie Rosario should be back on Friday. Jake Odorizzi and CJ Cron’s injuries are minor and they should be back very soon. The starting rotation has been solid for a good portion of the year with Jose Berrios, Jake Odorizzi, and Kyle Gibson leading the way. Martin Perez and Michael Pineda have mixed in some solid starts as well. The bullpen has four very reliable arms with Taylor Rogers, Blake Parker, Trevor May, and Ryne Harper. Mike Morin, Tyler Duffey, and Matt Magill have stepped up at times, but have the occasional bad outing. The Twins need one or two more bullpen arms in order to take control in the American League Central race.

The Bad: The Twins closed out the first half with a (6-7) record in their last thirteen games. The lead has dropped to 5.5 games and the Indians are playing some good baseball lately. Cleveland went (15-9) in June and have won all five games in July. Corey Kluber won’t be back until August and Carlos Carrasco might be back in September. The Indians have been doing it with Trevor Bauer, Shane Bieber, Zach Plesac, Jefry Rodriguez, and Mike Clevinger in the starting rotation. The Indians have been there and won the division three straight seasons. It appears that the American League Central race is going to be closer than anticipated.

What Needs To Happen: The Twins need to add a reliever or two in order to contend at a high level in the second half. The team has two nice trade candidates at AAA right now. Brent Rooker is hitting .286 with fourteen homers and forty-seven RBI’s at Rochester. The Twins outfield is full with Eddie Rosario, Byron Buxton, and Max Kepler. Jake Cave and LaMonte Wade are the fourth and fifth outfielders on the team. If you can trade Brent Rooker and Nick Gordon to the Giants for Will Smith and Tony Watson then the Twins would be in business. Gordon is hitting .290 with two homers and twenty-nine RBI’s. The Twins also have an in-house option with Cody Allen. They signed him to a minor league deal. He has thrown four shutout innings with four strikeouts for Fort Myers recently. He will likely move up to AAA before the Twins call him up. I think the Twins should trade for a guy then see how the Cody Allen project works. Allen can be a reliable reliever when he’s right.

Los Angeles Dodgers:

The Good: The Los Angeles Dodgers have had a tremendous first half to 2019. They have amassed 60 wins and have a 13.5 game lead over the Arizona Diamondbacks in the National League West. Corey Seager, AJ Pollock, and David Freese are working their way back from injuries as well. All three of those players should be back after the All-Star Break. The Dodgers are a deep team and the bullpen has finally shaped up into a reliable part of the team. Joe Kelly has allowed one earned run in his last 13 1/3 innings and is becoming the set-up man the Dodgers signed to a huge deal. Kenley Jansen is slowly returning to his old form. Pedro Baez has a 2.70 ERA on the year. JT Chargois has been amazing in his return to the big league club. He has struck out 15 in his last seven innings of work. The starting staff had three All-Stars with Clayton Kershaw, Hyun-Jin Ryu, and Walker Buehler. Maybe the Dodgers add a starter or a reliever, but they don’t need much come July 31st.

The Bad: There isn’t much bad for the Los Angeles Dodgers. They have the best roster in baseball and one of the best farm systems in the game. They have the resources to make just about any trade if they need to. I only see them acquiring another arm. Rich Hill is going to play catch next weekend and the Dodgers hope he can start in September. That would be a big boost to this great starting rotation. Even if he’s not stretched out then he can still be a reliable lefty reliever. Ross Stripling and Julio Urias are solid options, who can start in Rich Hill’s absence. The only other question mark is Russell Martin and his health. He had a low back issue earlier this year. Will Smith and Keibert Ruiz are ready in the minors though. Overall, the Dodgers don’t have much to worry about after the break unless injuries pop up.

San Francisco Giants:

The Good: The Giants finished the first half strong. They are scoring tons of runs and the starting pitching has been better to go along with a solid bullpen. The Giants are (7-2) in their last nine games and are now within 5.5 games of the second wild-card spot. Alex Dickerson has been a welcome addition with a .362 average, four homers and fifteen RBI’s since getting claimed off waivers from the Padres. The team even has a chant for him and other players. It seems like the clubhouse is revitalized by his presence. Austin Slater has been a secret weapon with a .429 average, two homers and nine RBI’s in five games since his call-up. Pablo Sandoval has been a great story and has hit either in a starting role or pinch-hitting role. Madison Bumgarner and Jeff Samardzija are finding their rhythm in the starting rotation. Shaun Anderson and Tyler Beede are learning how to pitch at the Major League level. The bullpen is full of solid arms. Will Smith has nailed down all 23 saves this year with a 1.98 ERA. Sam Dyson has a 2.30 ERA, Mark Melancon has been a nice option, and Tony Watson is the eighth-inning guy. Reyes Moronta can escape out of any jam it seems like.

The Bad: The Giants bats might have finally turned on, but it might be too late. The team is winning and it’s already the middle of July. The team will need to leap frog lots of teams to get the second wild-card spot. Farhan Zaidi has not been shy about making moves this year. He has moved tons of outfield pieces and will likely trade Madison Bumgarner, Will Smith, and Tony Watson at the trade deadline. The good news is that the Giants have some reinforcements at AAA. Fernando Abad, Pat Venditte, and Ray Black can all help the bullpen if current arms get traded. It should be an interesting month for the Giants.

Big 12 basketball tournament 2022: Bracket, schedule and scores

Photo by Kyle Rivas/Getty Images

The Big 12 is loaded again heading into the men’s conference tournament.

The Big 12 was rated as the strongest conference in the country in men’s basketball for the seventh time in nine years, according to KenPom. Now the conference tournament is again coming to the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City looking to crown its champion and hand out its automatic bid ahead of the 2022 NCAA tournament.

All 10 teams in the Big 12 enter the conference tournament ranked in the top-75 of the country, per KenPom. The conference features the reigning champions in Baylor, a potential No. 1 seed in the big dance in Kansas, the country’s top-rated defense in Texas Tech, and a talented Texas team looking to hit its stride before the NCAA tournament starts.

Kansas is the again the favorites to win the conference tournament as the No. 1 seed in the field. The Jayhawks are led by standout senior guard Ochai Agbaji as well as 6’6 junior wing Christian Braun. Meanwhile, Baylor enters the field with a totally different team from last season, but one that still feels capable of going on a deep run in March. The Bears have two brilliant freshmen in Kendall Brown and Jeremy Sochan, and return key role players in Adam Flagler and Matthew Mayer from last year’s title team.

We’ll keep you updated on the men’s Big 12 tournament all the way through. Here’s the bracket and schedule for the games.

[ rules + stuff you need to know ]

Absolutely no minors. I’m over 18.. Way over 18. It just doesn’t feel right or comfortable for me to engage with anyone who is a minor for several reasons. So, if you’re underage / your blog is ageless / ageless and content free / content free, you’re most likely going to end up blocked.

Anyone sending hate in messages or asks / starting fights or being rude to each other in the comments on my posts will be blocked immediately. I’m not here for it, I don’t want any part of it and frankly, I don’t care enough about fandom drama, ship wars or faceless opinion enough to engage further. It’s a waste of time. Just be kind to each other, please? It’s… really not that hard? TLDR; do not fuck up Ashes’ zen/escape space.

Read all warnings. Tags to look for are ← trigger warning; (trigger) or ← warning; (trigger) / any variant of the bolded including ← tw;trigger or ← cw;trigger or if it's just smut, <- warning. adult content. There will also be a warning area on each post, so it’s worth it to check that out before reading. If you ignore the tags / warnings, whatever you end up seeing as a result is your own fault and is now strictly a you problem. If you’re looking to avoid my adult content altogether, the tags you need to look for are ← minors dni; adult intended content or any variation of that including ☠ this symbol or this one ♥ on my masterlist, in the warnings area/tags.

Any requests containing my own personal nopes listed above will be deleted upon receipt. I can’t stress enough how unwilling I am to compromise my personal boundaries.Please respect this, okay? Just don’t send it if I’ve already clearly stated I won’t write it. Requests are done on my own time, in whatever order I feel most motivated to do them in and all requests will not make the cut. If this is a problem for you, you’re being warned in advance. It’s probably not a good idea to request it from me.

Any character I write for is 18+, regardless of canon. I do not write for minors. My writing isn’t tailored to them so it’s not about them. So, if you’re looking for a writer who writes those younger fandom characters, look elsewhere. End of story. If this bothers you at all, don’t read, ig.

Reader inserts are gender neutral / gn, female and all must be human.Pairings are typically female/male or gn/male and/or gn/female. I’m a person who was born as and identifies as a female and I happen to be straight, so out of respect for everyone, I’m opting to stay in my little lane.

Occasionally, I have a reader insert that turns out to be well… a little more heavily personified. If this is a problem for you, the tags you need to be on alert for are any variant of ← warning; heavily personified reader ( traits ). If you’re looking to avoid that on my masterlists when I finally get around to remaking them, you’re going to want to avoid anything with ☻ beside the title/description. I’ll probably also put ☻ in the tags too, just to be sure nobody reads anything they don’t want to.

I write original character pieces. And self inserts. And I enjoy writing them. I stopped posting them to here but.. I’ve recently come to the decision that I’m going to post them again and IDC if they’re ‘unpopular’ or ‘cringe’. If you’re the kind of person who can’t stand reading something with an original character / self insert present, you’ll need to look for ← warning; original character content or any variant of that and this symbol ❃. I’ll put the symbol in my warnings and in the tags just so nobody is forced to read my self-indulgent bullshit, no worries.

Last but not least.. If the ask box is off or there’s a HIATUS / SEMI HIATUS notice in my bio area on the blog or pinned as a post, requests are closed. Currently, I am.. Still on hiatus. But, I’m *fingers crossed* hoping to return soon.

#<- rules + about #-- about the writer #-- read before interacting #<- minors dni.

WAC Casablanca

Picking the Mountain West Conference Champion for the 2006 season could be less secure than riding shotgun with Mel Gibson on a Friday night. Whatever group finishes first in the Mountain West this year, they ought to extend the regard the meeting has picked up with the achievement of Utah in 2004 and a year ago with Texas Christian University. Wydad Athletic Club

TCU's 8-0 meeting record, 11-1 by and large, was unquestionably a stunner considering the Horned Frogs were picked to complete fifth by generally prognosticators. Ya' think the MWC groups ought to have seen something when TCU knocked off Oklahoma in Norman in their opening game a year ago?

I am taking a gander at the MWC as a three-group race this year between the up to referenced reptiles alongside Joe Pesci's preferred group, the Utah Utes, and Donny Osmond's favored school, BYU. San Diego State is the Rip Van Winkle of the association.

I trust Utah is going to win the race to the highest point of the MWC. To start with, they play both TCU and BYU at home. The Utes have an exceptionally productive quarterback in Brian Johnson, who was fourth in the country a year ago in all out offense. This will be the second year under head mentor Kyle Whittingham after Urban Meyer went south to take a shot at his tan. Whittingham ought to be increasingly agreeable in the head job this year.

Utah had the best enrolling class in the MWC and could have some genuine monsters in the guarded line with JUCO move Aaron Tonga and green bean Joe Faifili. The guard will be driven by all-MWC cornerback Eric Weddle in a solid auxiliary. The greatest question mark is at running back, where there are a ton of youthful competitors.

BYU has the quarterback with the most obvious opportunity with regards to moving to the following dimension, John Beck. BYU positioned 6th in the country a year ago in passing offense scoring 33 for every game. This year, with eight starters returning in all out attack mode side, the Cougars will be considerably progressively unstable, particularly in the wake of getting a year added to their repertoire with hostile facilitator Robert Anae's spread framework. That's right, BYU lost star WR Todd Watkins, yet they have genuine frosh speedster McKay Jacobson for Beck to hit profound. The running assault ought to improve with a quality veteran hostile line.

BYU has a solid retribution rationale as they lost to TCU a year ago subsequent to driving 41-29 yet endured 9 cautious starter wounds during the game. A far-fetched Frog late rebound spelled rout for the men from Salt Lake. In the event that the Cougars can endure their initial three non-meeting diversions against Arizona in Tucson, Tulsa, and a long outing to Boston College, they ought to have the strength and certainty to fight for the title. News du WAC

I don't think 2006 will be the "Time of the Lizard" in the Mountain West. Despite the fact that the pigskin is an elongated shape, it beyond any doubt bobbed the correct way for TCU a year ago. Karma was certainly TCU's woman a year ago as they had four customary season wins of seven or less alongside a net addition of 21 turnovers. It will be difficult to keep up those numbers again this year.

TCU has a standout amongst the best mentors in the country no one thinks about aside from his better half and Frog fans, Gary Patterson. A year ago TCU was an obscure group, this year they have a bullseye on them greater than a Target store sign.

TCU has inability at the hostile line and has two new beginning cornerbacks. They likewise need to supplant WR playmaker Cory Rodgers. Solid extraordinary groups and incredible pass surging cautious closures will help keep TCU a danger to win it all in the Mountain West.

San Diego State procured the previous Oklahoma hostile facilitator and Iowa University quarterback, Chuck Long, as their new head mentor. There is much even more a Big 12 look to the Aztecs this year with new DC Bob Elliott and OC Del Miller, both from Kansas State. Indeed, having another instructing staff is strike one against them for over-accomplishing this year. Be that as it may, it could be the ideal opportunity for this verifiable under-accomplishing group to complete a flip-flop. Another ball-control offense should help.

Despite the fact that the offense lost great WR Jeff Webb to graduation (indeed, they do have a few alumni at SDS), they have a quality QB in Kevin O'Connell and someone to deal with Long's ideal run-first offense in future NFL'er RB Lynell Hamilton. Eight returning starters on edge side of the ball, including a stalwart optional, should indicate solid improvement from their widely appealing quality a year ago.

OK, who are the folks stepping water in the Mountain West? Begin with Sonny Lubick's Colorado State who have another quarterback coming in to lead the power-running offense. The Rams have the back, Kyle Bell, to hand off to, however should make a stride down in passing proficiency from a year ago's Justin Holland. Actualité News

While CSU ought to be significantly enhanced barrier with seven returning starters, regardless they have the red letter of being 115th in the country in hurrying safeguard a year ago. I trust this to be a "play-on" group, however they simply don't have the playmakers to make it an exceptional group. An extreme non-meeting plan with their customary Colorado game and outings to WAC powers Nevada and Fresno State will help spell out the Ram's MWC destiny.

Next, we have the horde of groups needing to climb to meeting decency. Such huge numbers of inquiries exist for every one of the groups that any of them could complete 6th or ninth. The glad New Mexico Lobos driven by mentor Rocky Long should complete at the highest point of the second-division load. The Lobos have custom and another hostile organizer, Bob Toledo, previous HC of the UCLA Bruins. Anticipate that an alternate style offense should be placed in by Toledo, ordinarily not a decent sign for progress. Be that as it may, New Mexico has the kind of QB Toledo needs to run his offense, Kole McCamey. He can run and he can pass. Shockingly, he never again will pass star WR Hank Baskett nor giving off to primo meeting back Dontrell Moore. ligue des champions 0

New Mexico has a decent timetable with no consecutive gathering street diversions. Notwithstanding, the Lobos have a ton of doubtful players and an absence of playmakers in an offense requiring them.

I should admit, I have been a season-ticket holder for UNLV football for a long time straight. It isn't that I am into rebuffing myself, you simply don't find the opportunity to see much "major class" sports in Las Vegas. Also, we have great seats and you don't need to stress over getting a decent parking spot!

UNLV has a mentor from a triumphant Utah program who seems, by all accounts, to be a decent enrollment specialist. All things considered, at any rate he is getting the "issue cases" from some real Pac-10 schools. I don't have the foggiest idea if the UNLV athletic office needs a decent guide or a decent post trial supervisor. In any case, UNLV has a few players who could be All-MWC with the most significant one being QB Rocky Hinds, an exchange from USC.

Not exclusively was the UNLV protection toward the end in the Mountain West a year ago by an immense edge there is again a noteworthy absence of profundity which could cover the Rebels if the damage bug hits them once more. An auxiliary is reinforced by various Pac-10 moves, yet is as yet more slender than Kate Moss during her "wild days".

Aviation based armed forces isn't flying high and it isn't because of high fuel costs. There is a ton of talk that head mentor Fisher DeBerry's opportunity has arrived, paying little mind to 23 years of being accountable for a glad program. Be that as it may, similarly as for TCU's situation where they won various close amusements, the Falcons lost four recreations by an aggregate of ten. While they were smothered by BYU and TCU, in all reasonableness they had various wounds, particularly in their mind-desensitizing misfortune to Army.

While consecutive losing seasons ought not forecast a miserable Air Force future, it raises foreboding shadows. To keep his activity, DeBerry needs to beat Navy and Army at the base. A four-win meeting season would then compare to a bowl for the dedicated Falcons.

OK, Wyoming mentor Joe Glenn made the front of a national games magazine a year ago (I trust it was the Sporting News). So did Cowboy bands player, Fennis Dembo, who scored 41 points in a triumph over the UCLA Bruins in the NCAA 1987 Tournament, however that was Sports Illustrated.

The fact of the matter being, anyone from Wyoming making the front of any national magazine ought not make more energy than some great fly angling in the Cowboy State. The Pokes began well a year ago at 4-1, however tumbled off their steed in a 0-6 turn. Wyoming has a generally excellent RB in Wynel Seldon with four returning hostile linemen, however inquiries at QB, the optional, and on unique groups mean the Cowboys are battling to avoid the basement with UNLV, Air Force, and New Mexico. The Mountain West Conference champion may slip into a BCS Bowl game this year. TCU joining the MWC a year ago was the best thing that could have happened to this mid-level gathering as the Horned Frogs demonstrated that an extraordinary resistance can conquer any trick or pass-overwhelming offense out there. It is a fun gathering to watch and one that I do accept is on the ascent. They are lanning against real gatherings and have had great achievement as of late against more "name schools".
