I don't even care if this show is bad, I'm gonna watch it for this scene alone!!!! 🤤🤤🤤🤤

[denimbex1986]

‘...The Company You Keep...follows a charismatic con man (Milo Ventimiglia) and an undercover CIA agent (Catherine Haena Kim) on a collision course of professional and romantic natures...

“This guy feels different, this love feels different,” Kim says of their compelling pairing. “We meet without knowing anything about each other. So, it’s that moment when you see someone and it feels like they just get it, they get you, and you look over and you think, ‘Oh, it’s you. It’s going to be you.’ And then it’s on.”

Ventimiglia, who played the beloved Jack Pearson on This Is Us for six seasons, transitioned almost immediately into his new role.

“I got a haircut, had a shave, and I was on set as Charlie doing the pilot,” he shares. “I took a few months off after that to write some scripts; I went and did a movie. And then two weeks after that movie, I was back on set again doing the series.”

As a Robin Hood-type criminal whose biggest concern is keeping his family safe, the role of Charlie is definitely more action-oriented — and he’s got the on-set injuries to prove it. (Before our discussion, Ventimiglia had just gotten an MRI for an on-set collision.)

“There’s action, there’s a lot of excitement, a lot of near misses and a lot of heart. There’s something for everyone,” he says. “Charlie’s a good bad guy. The family has a moral code. They’re not going after people who don’t deserve it. Playing a character who’s also playing multiple characters [blending into various worlds] is just candy for an actor. Charlie’s definitely given me the opportunity to stretch and flex as an actor.”

The quick transition into being Charlie was not a difficult one, Ventimiglia says. “I played Jack for so long that everything I played of him was on instinct. He just existed. I put the mustache on, and the clothes of the decade, and he was just alive. There was not much I had to do. So, it was easy to shed Jack and finally put the man to rest.”

Ventimiglia has a very clear idea of who Charlie is and has no problem leaning into this complex new role. “He’s a very simple guy. Jeans and T-shirt kind of guy. He owns a bar, drives a simple car, nothing flashy, nothing that jumps out at you,” he adds. “So, when he enters the con world, the con space, he can completely blend into that world. Being a gunrunner, being a photo assistant, being in the art world, he’s able to reflect the targets and the marks that he’s going after. When he steps into the con world, that’s where the real work takes over, where I’ve got to understand the difference between who he’s playing as the con man and who he is as an individual. He’s got to be several steps ahead of everybody; he has a strong situational awareness.”

Emma is similarly observant, says Kim; it’s one of the things the two characters have in common. “At first glance, we’re seemingly very different. You’ll come to see how similar we actually are. For one, we both lie for a living.” Both characters seem to have trust issues as well, which are visible from the moment they meet. “Before she even knows he’s a con artist, she is wondering, ‘Can I trust you with my heart?’ Which, I think, we can all relate to,” she adds. “Falling in love is exciting, and also terrifying.”...’

Week in Review Week of 12/4

This week has been very busy week in the world…Let’s see… Time Magazine has named Taylor Swift it’s Person of the Year. A high honor for her since she did the Era’s Tour. She has accomplished so much for one so young. They say she’s hitting the billion mark with the tour and will likely rake another billion next year when the tour ends. In an interview with time she brought up the infamous phone…

The Constant Gardener

The Constant Gardener    [trailer]

A widower is determined to get to the bottom of a potentially explosive secret involving his wife's murder, big business, and corporate corruption.

While I remembered the dramatic ending, I had forgotten that the movie's rather emotional throughout.

The story is still depressing. While not necessarily based on a true story, it's easy to imagine that similar things happen. The world is a terrible place.

While only a small role, always pleased to see Anneke Kim Sarnau.

All My Roads Lead Back to You Part 14

Hello, hello! Thank you to everyone who participated in WIP Wednesday yesterday! It was a blast. I got so much work done.

This mainly Steve centric. Did I write almost an entire chapter with Steve going to bat for Edie to beat out some childhood trauma of my dad never doing that despite doing it for my older siblings? Yes. Does it further plot? Not really. But it was cathartic anyway.

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9 Part 10 Part 11 Part 12 Part 13

Steve didn’t like talking to principals or teachers as a whole. They got harder to charm as time passed. He could charm hardened business men out of their hard earned cash, but for some reason teachers failed to be charmed him.

So instead of charming them, he decided that he would do it the Nancy Wheeler method and bowl them over with facts.

Principal Kim and Mr Pearson were waiting for him when he arrived. They both rose up to greet him and he shook both of their hands.

“Thanks for agreeing to meet with me,” he said seriously. “I understand that tracing a picture for the art show and for her assignment is a very severe offense. And I of course want to address those allegations as to not tarnish her reputation and make it harder for her to get into colleges and universities.”

Mr Pearson sneered. “You’d just buy her way into any school she wanted anyway.”

Steve locked eyes with Principal Kim and even she looked shocked.

“Excuse, Mr Pearson,” she began, “do I mean to understand that you feel that Edith Harrington bought her way into your art class?”

Mr Pearson’s jaw dropped, realizing he had said the quiet part out loud. “I didn’t mean to apply that she was without talent or merit. But the picture in question is too good for someone her level.”

Steve twisted his bottom jaw as he ran his tongue over his teeth slowly. “How do you feel about the pinprick method?”

Principal Kim frowned. “The what?”

Mr Pearson squirmed in his seat. “It’s method used by many artists when copying works to ensure the height and width of the subject are in the correct proportions.”

Principal Kim turned to Steve. “And you assert your daughter used this method on her most recent assignment?”

Steve nodded. “Yes, and I can prove it.” He turned to Mr Pearson. “You brought the picture with you like I asked, yes?”

Mr Pearson snarled and grabbed his messenger bag. He ripped it open and got out Edie’s picture she had done of Irises by Van Gogh. It was a beautiful piece that showed bright blue irises on the side of a road.

“Can you honestly tell me that she did that without tracing it first?” he asked gruffly. He threw on the principal’s desk.

“It’s very pretty,” she said.

“Did you see her trace it?” Steve asked, turning to the teacher.

“Excuse me?” Mr Pearson asked, straightening up in his chair. “Of course not! She wouldn’t dare trace it in class.”

“What did she do in class?” Steve asked, crossing legs and wiggling his shoulders as he got comfortable. “She had to do something, right?”

Mr Pearson scowled. “I have a class of twenty four students, I can’t be watching each one every second of every day,” he scoffed waving his hands.

Principal Kim nodded sympathetically. “That’s just the way it is, I’m afraid, Mr Harrington.”

Steve smiled. “Oh I don’t doubt it, herding teenagers is difficult in small groups, I can’t imagine tripling the amount of teenagers I used to chaperon around when I got out of high school. I completely understand.”

Mr Pearson eyed him warily. “And where are you going with this?”

“She had to check off certain stages of her work with you, did she not?” Steve said, bouncing his leg on his knee.

Mr Pearson frowned. “Of course she did.”

“And at any stage did her work so signs of it being traced?” Steve asked, a charming smile on his face.

“No.”

Principal Kim sighed. “Be that as that may, Mr Harrington, we’re going to need proof.”

“Why is burden of proof on Edie’s side?” Steve asked, giving her his big puppy-eyed, ‘I don’t understand’ face. “Shouldn’t it be on her accuser’s?”

Silence fell and Steve knew he had won. They couldn’t prove she traced. There was no evidence of something that didn’t happen.

Now it was time for the final blow. God he loved this part. He got out a large color art book of Vincent Van Gogh’s works. He flipped it over to the page that had the image of the painting Edie had used. He then pulled out a pocket knife and set on top of the page.

“One last thing,” Steve said. “Is the pinprick method allowed in the art show?”

Mr Pearson nodded.

He grinned and turned back to the principal. “This is the book Edie used to base her work on. If you’ll use the knife to cut out the page and hold it up to the light you will pinpricks and not trace marks.”

“That could be any book bought at any time!” Mr Pearson protested.

Steve nodded and got a couple more things out of his bag and handed them to the Principal Kim. “I have the original pictures on my phone, but they are too small to see the details.” He pulled out his phone and handed it to her.

She looked at the pictures showing the book that had a scuff on the cover and that the book in front of her had a large scuff right where Edie had dropped getting out the car the day he bought it for her.

There was no doubt it was the same book. She handed the pictures to Mr Pearson who was forced to concede that it must be the same book. She picked up the knife and then looked at Steve.

“And your daughter is okay with us defacing the book like this?” she asked, eyeing Steve skeptically.

Steve nodded. “She said to use whatever means necessary to clear her name. So go for it.”

Principal Kim sighed and deftly cut out the page. She handed the knife back to Steve and then lifted the page. Sure enough there were seven or eight pinpricks but not a single trace outline. If she had traced it there would be heavy indentations around each flower and there weren’t.

“Now,” Steve said leaning forward, “put Edie’s picture over the top to see if the prick holes match.”

Principal Kim did just that and sighed when they lined up perfectly. There was no doubt that Edie hadn’t cheated.

“Edith’s picture will be submitted to the art show and the mark expunged from her record. Mr Pearson will apologize to your daughter in front of the class.”

“What?” Mr Pearson cried, leaping to his feet. “I will do no such thing!”

“You will and I will be watching when you do,” Principal Kim said sternly, “or I will suspend you without pay until a full investigation is done to see if you have done this to other students.”

Mr Pearson’s jaw dropped and he sat back down quietly, hands on his lap.

Steve stood. “You may keep everything but my phone, if you need to convince the judges of the art show of the validity of her work.”

She nodded. They shook hands and then Steve gathered his things and walked out. Before he could even close the door, he could hear the principal tearing into Mr Pearson.

Steve was grinning and not paying attention to where he was going when he nearly bumped into someone.

“Oh, sorry!” he said, holding up his hands in surrender.

“Steve?” Eddie asked. “What are you doing here?”

Steve looked up into those warm brown eyes and smiled. “Just convincing Principal Kim and Mr Pearson to let Edie’s pastel drawing back into the art show.”

Harri peered around his dad. “What? Really? Did you win?”

Steve grinned. “Sure did. If they had done an investigation instead of blinding following the word of one vindictive little girl, Mr Pearson wouldn’t be under scrutiny for doing similar things to other students.”

He crossed his arms and shifted his weight to his back foot. “I’m pretty sure if they looked deep enough, they’d find that he had been grading harsher for so called nepo babies. Children of rich parents that had generational wealth over those students that had nouveau-riche parents. Because he thought they had worked hard for their money.”

Eddie laughed. “And how would you know that?”

Steve grinned. “Because that’s what Nancy dug up for me when I asked.”

Eddie threw back his head and really laughed. “That would do it, yeah.”

Harri cocked his head to the side and frowned. “Who’s Nancy?”

Steve turned him with a soft smile. “She’s a world renowned journalist who your dad and me went to school with.”

“Sounds vaguely familiar,” he said with a shrug. “But that’s cool she helped you get Miss Thing’s art back in the show.”

“I called in a favor,” Steve said with a shrug.

“She owes you more than one favor,” Eddie grumbled.

Steve bit his lip and blushed. “She knows.”

Eddie grinned. “Good.”

“You guys want to come over and celebrate with us?” Steve asked. “The Lawrences are going to be there, as well as the Grants.” At their look of confusion he clarified. “Kenny’s family, the band’s keyboardist.”

Harri and Eddie looked at each other and then Harri nodded, while Eddie shrugged.

“Sure,” Eddie said. “I don’t see why not.”

*

Edie had gotten use to seeing Mr Munson at her house so often that sometimes it surprised her that Harri and him didn’t live there. That they actually lived elsewhere.

“Are you sure they aren’t dating?” Kenny asked one day at lunch. They were huddled together at their table away from the seething wrath of Lauren Duncan and her crowd of mean girls.

When it came out that Lauren was the tattletale the whole art class turned on her. And straight up ignored her when she would even so much as ask for the eraser to be handed to her.

But that ostracizing only made her vicious out of class. Bumping into Edie to get Edie to drop her stuff or even fall. Putting hate mail in her lockers. Whispering to her friends behind her hands.

Though she tried knocking Edie’s lunch tray out her hands only the once. Edie was quick enough to shove the tray right in Lauren’s face. And what made it even better is that she couldn’t claim that Edie had done in purpose because then she would have to explain why she was that close to Edie in the first place. And after her week suspension for falsely accusing Edie of wrongdoing, she couldn’t afford more trouble. So she stuck to the little things.

Harri sighed. “I honestly don’t know, man.”

Edie nodded. “They go out to lunch every Monday. And it’s gotten to the point where Vanessa, my dad’s secretary won’t even schedule anything for that time.”

Harri nodded. “I think we eat dinner more often at your house then we do my own. And I like my house!”

Mandy nodded. “I mean our dads still hang out, but now Mr Munson tags along too. My dad said that he’s seen more of Mr Munson in the last month then he has the last decade.”

They all nodded.

“Let’s not forget Mr Munson staying for practice instead of dropping Harri off and coming back later,” Brian said, poking at his food, pushing it around on his plate. “We always have to break them up when we’re done so Harri can go home.”

“When summer starts,” Mandy said, “We should test it, see how it takes for them to notice we’re done.”

They nodded again.

“But when I ask my dad,” Edie said, “all he’ll say is that he’s sworn off dating so it can’t be a date.”

Harri threw his arms in the air. “My dad is no better. He keeps telling me that Papa was it for him, and second chances only happen once in a life time and he’s already had his.”

“They are so stubborn, I swear,” Edie huffed. “But we all promised that we wouldn’t interfere in their relationship.”

Kenny straightened up. “You guys promised that. I didn’t.” He grinned. “And I think I know just how to do it.” He put on his backpack and grabbed his tray. “I’ll talk to you guys, later.”

Part 15 Part 16 Part 17  Part 18  Epilogue

Also, I had something similar happen to me with a different Van Gogh painting Giant Peacock Moth, only I was in middle school and it was just kids being grumpy the French teacher didn’t care. It was just away to teach us about the French artists movement of the 1800s. I still have it somewhere.

Also: Harri isn’t in trouble, he’s going to see the principal and his guidance counselor because some of his credits from his Cali school didn’t transfer.

That awkward moment when he has more chemistry with a burger than with his scene partner 🤦🏻‍♀️

[denimbex1986]

‘Milo Ventimiglia might be the nicest guy in Hollywood, right up there with Keanu Reeves and Brendan Fraser. Sure, he’s played a hero in Heroes and won over our hearts as the best dad ever in This Is Us, but it’s his latest TV show that’s really going to win you over.

We’re talking about The Company You Keep, of course...

The Company You Keep...is best described as a heist drama with a serialized storyline and a very steamy romance at the center of it. Ventimiglia stars as a conman named Charlie who has a surprisingly big heart considering his crimes. In fact, he’s the mastermind of his criminal family, who are ready to retire. But then one final job goes wrong and throws them in the debt of some seriously dangerous mobsters.

Meanwhile, Charlie also comes across a mysterious woman in a bar and they instantly hit it off. Unbeknownst to him, Emma (Catherine Haena Kim) is an undercover CIA agent who is investigating the very same mob Charlie has become embroiled with. She has no idea about his true identity either. Let the sparks fly.

“These two are on a collision course,” Ventimiglia told reporters recently during the Television Critics Association winter press tour in Pasadena. “When you have that undeniable connection and love and foundation of who they truly are and who they truly deserve to be with, there's the complication where the honesty, which takes a while to get to ultimately, hopefully it is something that will put them closer together.”

While all that remains to be seen, what we do know is this was a project of love for the actor. He executive produces the show and helped to get it off the ground when he was looking for his next gig post-This Is Us. In fact, he had about a two-week turnaround between filming the series.

“As an actor, I wasn’t so concerned with what my next project was,” he explained. “For me it was, haircut and a shave and here I go. I was ready. I was excited… Now we’re at the point of showing all of you and showing the greater community of TV watchers. But for me, I mean, I was dying to get into this one.”

Between the charismatic character Ventimiglia plays and his passion for the show, there are plenty of reasons to award him that nice-guy title. But as a producer, he wanted to continue working with his friends. So he brought over roughly 90 per cent of the crew from This Is Us, ensuring everyone still had a job after their show of six years ended.

“That shorthand, the expertise, we carried it over to [this show],” Ventimiglia said. “Everybody folded together and everyone works well together. Production has been a lot of fun. We believe it will show in the actual episodes and people will see what kind of show we're enjoying making.”

Add in the fact that this is the most Milo-like role he’s ever played, and we’re sold. To hear the actor explain it, he just wanted to play a version of himself and be in the moment after saving the world and being stuck in the ‘70s and ‘80s for so many years. Heck, the character even rides a motorcycle the way Ventimiglia does in real life.

“There's an honesty to Charlie, even in his lie, even in his con, even in any of that,” Ventimiglia wrapped. “For me, I couldn't just put on a character anymore. I just had to exist and be myself and look at my scene partner, listen to my writers, work with our production team, and just be. It's been wonderful.”...’

Columbia Pictures Month : Bye Bye Birdie

Next film on my Columbia film reviews is the musical Bye Bye Birdie .Now I have no familiarity with the musical ,so will view this as a stand alone thing

Now the plot of this 1963 film is that singing superstar Conrad Birdie (Jesse Pearson ) has just been drafted ,and Rosie (Janet Leigh ) secretsary and fiance to song writer Albert Peterson (Dick Van Dyke) ,has set up a final performance on the Ed Sullivan show ,with a publicity stunt of him kissing a girl from his fan club ,Kim MacAfee(Ann Margeret ) and shennaigans ensue

Soooooo thats the basic plot but um,mm.......Yeah this plot is somehow very complicated and paper thin ,so it makes no damn bit of sense .The story would make more sense if Albert was the agent of Conrad and not a struggling song writer ,I didnt even bring up the fact Albert is also a biochemist ,or Kims jealous boyfriend hugo ,or Alberts overbearing mother .From what I understand the story is supposed to be about Albert and Rosie......But the movie is more about Kim,and while I am thankful made a star out of Ann Margret who does her all with the role ,Kim shouldnt be the focus

Also tangent a big focus on the movie is Ed Sulivan ,he plays himself and his show is a big plot point .Now I was born way after his time,but his TV show was one of the biggest shows in America.....Soley because the guy had connections and paid well cause the guy has NO CHARISMA and by GOD ,HE CANT ACT .And yes I KNOW ,his show was popular cause he got amazing guests like Elvis,The Beatles ,Jim Henson,etc and his job was just to introduce but I am still baffled cause he is one of the most uncharismatic show business people I have ever seen .Sorry to get sidetracked,this has very little to do with the film,I know that but I honestly dont get the appeal of Ed Sullivan and theres a whole damn subplot about Paul Lynde being in love with him basically ,so I had to bring him up

OK so it might seem like I dont like the movie.....But I was entertained ,despite how messy it is.....Most of the songs are good ,not all timers for me but they are fun ,I think the most fun song for me was Kids performed by Paul Lynde ,I think that is the best song in the movie and I was surprised to find Put On A Happy Face came from this .Honestly its just fun to witness the dancing talents of Dick Van Dyke in anything ,and the musical talents of Ann-Margret ,Paul Lynde and surprisingly Janet Leigh .In fact the cast in general is very good,Dick Van Dyke is fun as this mamas boy song writer (Nowhere near as good as his performance in the next years Mary Poppins but hes good ),Janet Leigh is really good and she impressed me in the musical sequences like I said ,Ann Margret while I dont think her character shouldve been the lead COMMANDS the camera and is very good (Her opening song had me concearned but the later songs showed me how good she was ),Maureen Stapleton is frankly hilarious as the overbearing mother,and Paul Lynde is the scene stealer as Kims father ,a lot of his lines made me laugh .The film is also very funny every time I was unsure about the film thered be a really funny joke .I also think George Sidney directs the film well the film going into often surreal and somewhat cartoony vibes

I dunno I dont LOVE the movie.....But I enjoy it .I do reccomend it if you want something kind of silly
