Last Days in the Southland AKA That Time I Was in a Weird Al Music Video and Also Sat in Front of Guillermo Del Toro During A Movie

"All this and it will still end." The ghost speaks to me with a whisper-hoarse voice of gravel and 2 packs a day of the cheapest clove cigarettes. I always had a thing for the smell of cloves. And not a smoking fetish but a love of the aesthetics of black lipstick holding a black clove, pulled away by finger nails painted black to exhale like a dragon. But the smoking was never arousing, just pleasant smelling.

Anyway I got sidetracked. Where was I? Oh yeah I was talking to the dead again. I'm sure this is a manifestation of the extremely apocalyptic ending of my current relationship, a monogamous union in which I struggled to remain faithful, always the shameless flirt with the autistic energy with the least finesse. But ironically it was her infidelity that would provide the final nail in that monogamous coffin.

That actually works, you know? The being authentically autistic and direct and wouldn't know know it all fucking works somehow. Lesbians love to baby the dorky autistic girl who makes them laugh. I can't tell you the number of kryptonite level babes have fallen for my quasimodo lookin' ass.

Back to the point at hand... It is probably a shocker to no one but if you are a bitter, manipulative, capricious, and lying fuck people won't help you when you need a place to stay after your breakup. So then I had two choices: 1) move in with my parents (no thanks) or 2) move in with my aunt in Austin and have an attempt at some independence.

"I miss you." The words flee from my mouth. I'm still talking to the dead. She drifts nearer and reached out with her hand to brush a tear from my f-

*****

My phone starts screaming "Battle Ready" by Otep and I shoot straight up to my feet and fly across the room to my cellphone charging at foot of the bed my friend Alex let me stay in as the dust of my life settled.

The ringtone ends before the first verse is done, before I am even awake. I stand there holding my phone, drenched in sweat. It's fucking 84F in my room, it's at least 10 degrees hotter outside. I groggily put the phone to my ear. "What?" I spit rocks into the phone before hacking up a bit of phlegm.

"You want in on this Weird Al music video or what?" It's Tim, an old friend from film school.

"Excuse me? What?" I wipe my mouth with the back of my hand and destroy the last word completely.

"I'm doing a music video. Al is not here. But I have space to put you in the video but you have to get down to Huntington Beach by 3pm."

I rip the phone from my ear to check the time, plenty of time thankfully.

"Can you also fit my buddy Alex in? He's gonna be my ride either way."

"Yeah, man. I can use that tall ass dude too."

"We'll be there A.S.A.P." I end the call before I get a reply. Waking Alex is a pain in the ass usually but today...

"Hey, dude. Get up, we're gonna be in a Weird Al music video-"

And Alex shoots up, completely awake. "Are you fuckin' with me?"

"Nope, get ready already!"

So we do a photo shoot with Tim that lasts all of 20 minutes. Alex gets to be Steven Seagal's ponytail and I get to be an email scammer. Hollywood is glamorous like that. But after Tim invites us to attend a special screening of The Man Who Laughs (1928) at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in their Samuel Goldwyn Theater.

[That's meeeeee, Circa 2012]

And my goddess the movie was incredible. Conrad Veidt menaces the screen, his visage clearly the inspiration for the original Joker. His rictus grin lives firmly in my memory, something I will probably never forget. I sob into the final moments.

Then the credits roll, I am transfixed, I am changed, I am awash with emotions. And I stand, turn around to look around the room and standing right behind me is Guillermo Del Toro who has been sitting behind me the whole film, and he probably noticed my heaving sobs near the end. Which felt embarrassing in that moment as our eyes locked but now is rather sweet, to be overwhelmed by emotions by a piece of art in front of your favorite artist. He doesn't know my name but he may forever remember this random person overcome with emotion at the power of cinema, and that's pretty damn cool. I smile at him and he turns and immediately leaves. I don't need to bother him at all, it was just a really cool moment.

The next day I leave for Austin, Texas to begin a very dark chapter of my life. And my ghosts follow me.

We're in Emmys season and we are also in the final season of TED LASSO and I can not discern whether the cast is stomping for their final season or for Emmy consideration. Surely a bit from column A and column B.

Well, they have until June 26 to get 'er done (shout out to Larry the Cable Guy). Apple TV+ is touting their mustachioed prize pony TED LASSO out for special events.

May 1st they kick off Apple TV+'s THINK APPLE TV+ FYC installation with a fan event. The event features a panel moderated by their pal Yvette Nicole Brown (Community). Expected to be there are Jason Sudeikis, Brendan Hunt, Brett Goldstein, Juno Temple, Phil Dunster, Jeremy Swift, Kola Bokinni, Cristo Fernández, Billy Harris and James Lance.

There will also be a trivia game hosted by comedian Ryan Budds and will feature Charlie Hiscock (Will), Stephen Manas (Richard) and Moe Jeudy-Lamour (Thierry/Van Damme).

Kola will be back there the next day as part of a panel hosted by Essence Magazine alongside SHRINKING's Jessica Williams.

Saturday will be a panel about Costume and Production Design to TED LASSO's production and art designer Paul Cripps will be there with Costumer Jacky Levy.

Cast your eyes to the end of May, specifically May 30th, where the cast and creatives of the show will be celebrating the finale with the Paley Center for Media at the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences Theater.

As the announcement says, "Participants are subject to change." Standard language, but it really came home to people when NONE of the cast members listed for the YELLOWSTONE PaleyFest panel attended.

They weren't filming, others said the cast were sitting out in solidarity with Kevin Costner who is in a contract dispute with creator Taylor Sheridan. I don't know what happened with all of that, but Wes Bentley and Gil Birmingham did attend Deadline Contenders weeks later.

Brett was on hand for the SHRINKING panel.

*I finally got my TED LASSO biscuits that day. It was a good day.

Oscar a Go-Go on Metro

(NYTimes) The Actor Who Rides the Subway to the Oscars

Ed Begley Jr. has made a tradition of taking public transportation to the Academy Awards. And, like many commuters, he wears sensible shoes.

Ed Begley Jr. could be described as Hollywood royalty: The actor is a son of another actor, Ed Begley, who won a best supporting actor Oscar in 1963.

But the younger Mr. Begley, a longtime member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the organization behind the Oscars, commuted to this year’s ceremony like a plebeian by taking the Los Angeles Metro. His trip was filmed by his daughter Hayden Begley, who later shared the video on TikTok, where it has since received more than six million views.

The video opens with Ms. Begley, 24, asking her mother, Rachelle Carson, Mr. Begley’s wife and Oscars guest, how she is getting to the ceremony. “I’m driving,” Ms. Carson says, before asking, “And you’re what?” Off camera Ms. Begley replies, “Taking the subway.” Ms. Carson, who is wearing a black lacy gown, mutters, “Oh God, whatever,” as she waves her arms in exasperation.

Ms. Begley, who in a voice-over explains that she isn’t attending the ceremony with her father, then films his journey to the event on a 240 bus and the B line subway.

As Mr. Begley, 74, who has spent much of his career promotingenvironmentalism, talks to the camera about his fondness for public transit while riding the bus, he shows off two pins on the lapel of his dark suit jacket. One pin was shaped like an Oscar statuette and came from the Academy, where he served on the board of governors for 15 years. He said that the other pin, which had a capital M, was his “Metro pin for being a rider since 1962.”

Later in the video, Ms. Begley films her father’s full look, which includes a pair of black Nike sneakers with chunky white soles. “Thank God there are people like my dad who don’t mind wearing running shoes on a red carpet,” she says in a voice-over.

Mr. Begley, in an interview with The New York Times, said he bought the shoes for walking and that his wife had helped him pick them out. He bought the Cesarani suit he wore to the Oscars on the set of a production he was involved in decades ago. Wardrobe items are tailored to fit actors and then sometimes sold to them at a discount, he explained.

“I’m not a slave to fashion as you probably noticed,” said Mr. Begley, who recently published a memoir about his relationship with his father, who died in 1970, and his life and career in Hollywood.

Door to door, the trip from the Begleys’ home in Los Angeles to the Dolby Theater took an hour, partly because subway station closures resulted in about a half-mile of walking — and also because Mr. Begley spent time posing for pictures with fans and fellow commuters, his daughter said in an interview with The Times.

Ms. Begley, an actor, also works for the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, a job she started during the recent actors’ union strike. But she was not filming her father’s commute on behalf of the agency; she shared the video from her personal TikTok account.

Taking public transportation to the Oscars has become a sort of tradition for Mr. Begley and his daughter. They used it to get to the event in 2023, a trip she also filmed and shared on social media, as well as to others in prior years. A few days before the first ceremony they attended, Mr. Begley said, he walked into his daughter’s room and asked her if she wanted to make a statement. When she said that she did, he told her, “OK, we’re going to take the subway to the Oscars.”

Over the years, Mr. Begley’s commutes to the awards show have also involved bicycles and electric vehicles, like a Bradley car he and his friend Annette Bening took to the ceremony in 1991. “As a woman in a dress,” he said, “you’ve got to be a yoga master to get out of the car in a dignified manner.”

Bicycles and public transit, he added, are some of his favorite cost-effective and environmentally friendly ways to get around.

“I never feel that I’m wasting my time taking the bus or the subway somewhere because I bring my script with me or do Jumble or Wordle,” Mr. Begley said. “I do the L.A. Times and New York Times Crossword every day.”

[ad_1] Towards the top of 2021, the excitement was once palpable. The Energy of the Canine, director Jane Champion’s Western allegory about poisonous masculinity, was once heading in the right direction to be the primary Very best Image Oscar winner for Netflix. With a whopping 12 nominations general, it was once using prime. Through March, although, issues had modified. CODA, a plucky coming-of-age drama Apple TV+ nabbed at Sundance ultimate yr, was once gaining traction. It gained most sensible honors at each the Display Actors Guild Awards and the Manufacturers Guild of The united states Awards whilst Canine appeared to chase its tail. On Sunday, it was once determined: CODA gained most sensible honors, marking the primary time a streaming provider had accomplished so.This has been a very long time coming, and that point has been fraught. Ever since Netflix and Amazon began meting out for status content material within the hopes of successful trophies (and appreciate), Hollywood has been ready, interestingly, to look if it’s conceivable for a streaming provider to win the Academy of Movement Image Arts and Sciences’ greatest trophy. Now not everybody within the trade was once excited about avid gamers like Netflix bagging giant wins, predominantly for the reason that corporate was once instrumental in shifting motion pictures out of theaters and into dwelling rooms. When Netflix’s Roma was once creating a play for the highest prize in 2019, an Oscars marketing campaign consultant told Vulture that balloting for Alfonso Cuarón’s black-and-white circle of relatives drama was once “a vote for the loss of life of cinema through TV.” Steven Spielberg, whose West Aspect Tale was once nominated for seven awards this yr and gained one, flat-out mentioned Netflix motion pictures shouldn’t be eligible for Oscars, claiming they have been extra corresponding to TV motion pictures. Now, it sort of feels giant wins for streamers are right here to stick.Even supposing it sort of feels not possible to assume a streaming provider would by no means win Very best Image, precisely how it might occur, or must occur, was once any other level of competition. Amazon had success early on, obtaining Manchester Through the Sea at Sundance after which using it to many Oscar nominations in 2017. Netflix, even supposing it for sure shells out for motion pictures at gala's, has had higher success with its homegrown efforts like The Irishman and Roma. However that doesn’t imply each haven’t faltered. Netflix were given 35 nods and Amazon were given 12 ultimate yr, however the latter best were given one nod—for The Giant In poor health—the yr after its Manchester triumph. Neither were in a position to protected the highest prize, in spite of continuously circling it.All of which makes Apple’s win so surprising. After years of Netflix and Amazon looking to produce and obtain their solution to the highest—in spite of the Hollywood old-schoolers who appeared down their noses at it—Apple swooped in due to a film it simply picked up at Sundance. Granted, it paid a horny penny for *CODA—*reportedly round $25 million—nevertheless it nonetheless beat Energy and a slew of alternative juggernauts, like Warner Bros.’s Dune and movies from earlier Oscar winners like Spielberg and Guillermo del Toro (Nightmare Alley). For a streaming provider that, even supposing subsidized through Apple’s troves of money, best introduced in November 2019, that’s massive. One may just additionally argue that the manufacturing and free up delays led to through Covid-19 made room for smaller motion pictures to make a larger noise than they might have in years’ previous, besides that smaller movie may just’ve been from an indie studio like A24 relatively than Apple.However the Oscars are only one evening. The affects of this win shall be felt for some time, each in Hollywood and throughout the places of work of streamers. Over the previous couple of years, Netflix has run itself ragged

chasing Oscar gold—and in all probability lost some of its verve within the procedure—so what occurs now that Apple has beat them to the large award? No doubt it’ll make extra performs, however now that CODA has demonstrated what a a success run seems like, will Netflix simply mimic that good fortune? Will Amazon? Will studios? Apple TV+’s win proves that the outdated grudges in opposition to streamers are long past (or no less than waning) and that it’s conceivable one in all them can win. Audiences now know that the most productive motion pictures on the planet are a click on away. Conventional studios keep in mind that their distribution fashions can, and perhaps must, trade with out impacting how their motion pictures are won.For a very long time, the disruption of Hollywood through streamers has felt like a fight for the soul of Tinsel The town—the way it’s run, who will get to take part in it, what the definition of a “movie” even is. Honestly, there may well be one thing to that. Moviemaking, and filmgoing, has thrived for years as a result of motion pictures are an enormous piece of cultural foreign money. They’re additionally an artform that’s gotten overtaken through large companies having a look to make motion pictures which are all however assured to promote tickets and pack theaters. For years, in particular within the Nineties when Oscars viewership was once a lot upper than it's these days, Very best Image winners have been artistically-driven crowd-pleasers like Titanic and Forrest Gump, that gained over critics and killed on the field place of business. The pool of flicks, and filmmakers, that even were given a shot at just a little gold guy was once small. [ad_2] Source link #Apple #Received #Image #Oscars
