  1. The Devil Wears Prada 2 is a tepid re-heat of the original
    By Virginia Trioli

    Miranda Priestly has lost her fangs in the reboot as weak plot lines make room for superfluous scenes and characters.

  2. "#Sheitel: Beauty in the Hidden, an insightful #documentary, takes a deep dive into this complex topic. It explores the unexpectedly wide-ranging cultural, religious and deeply personal significance of hair covering among #Orthodox and #Hasidic #women — from #Miami to #Jerusalem; from #NewYork to #LosAngeles; from #Toronto and #Montreal to, of all places, #Halifax, #NovaScotia, #director #LyndaMedjuckSuissa’s home base. (Her first #film, Camp Kadimah—The Story of Our Lives, examined the history and ongoing impact of a well-known #Canadian #Jewish summer day camp.)

    In Sheitel, her sophomore effort, she reveals how #wigs, #scarves and other #hair coverings serve not only as symbols of faith and tradition, but also political identity and female empowerment. The #movie confronts widespread misconceptions and stereotypes — including my own parochial thoughts on the subject — and also offers a rare look into the global #wig industry."

  3. Yes, I know it was already recorded. Yes, I know, they're just lip synching to track. But, whose idea was it to put the wind screen *on the camera-side* of the mic?!?
    I'm not linking to the song on the Tube of You, it's easy enough to find. It's Bette's parody lyrics to Woody Guthrie's "All You Fascists Bound to Lose".

  9. The inspiration for writing BEER POUR came from my days in Hollywood. I once worked with a psychopathic commercial director, and then right after, worked with a very gentile man of Japanese descent. They were both at the top of their game, directing TV commercials. Polar opposites achieving the same goal in the same field was interesting to me. Where else does that happen: Politics. I made filmmaking and politics collide for one nutty week in Hollywood, in my novel BEER POUR, when the U.S. Vice President enlists the help of two bitter rivals, the psychopathic director and the gentleman, to aid in high-stakes international diplomacy. What ensues, no one could anticipate. #inspired #inspiration #process #writing #writersCoffeeClub #writer #writers #filmMastodon #film #filmmaking #politicalhumor #satire #novels #novel #satiricalfiction #fiction #diplomacy #international #highstakes #mastodon #book #books #bookstodon #media #japan #scribesAndMakers #hollywood #hollywoodfiction #hollywoodnovels #commercials #advertising #ads #ad #director #beer #food #foodanddrink #photo #television

  14. SCENE: INTERIOR, HOLLYWOOD PRODUCTION OFFICE, RUN-DOWN. MONDAY MORNING.

    Executive Assistant: Hey, Brett?

    Director: Morning, Jennifer. What have you got for me?

    EA: Well, we have the opening weekend numbers.

    D: And?

    EA: They're ... mixed. There's some bright spots overseas. Australia did fifty.

    D: Fifty million?

    EA: Uh, no. Fifty. Fifty tickets.

    D: All weekend? The whole country?

    EA: Ya. I know.

    D: You said there were some bright spots, though?

    EA: That was a bright spot. It was worse elsewhere.

    D: How can it be worse than 50 tickets for a whole country?

    EA: Well, some open-source intelligence type people on the 'net proved that almost every single ticket sold in the UK was to a movie reviewer, because we wouldn't give them advanced access to it.

    D: "Almost"? So at least a few regular folks bought tickets?

    EA: ... maybe. Those were tickets where no-one showed at the theatre, so they couldn't determine if it was film critics or not.

    D: Damn. How were the reviews?

    EA: Uh, let's just say "not good" and leave it at that for a bit.

    D: ... Okay. Well, how about here at home? Surely we sold some tickets here, at least in MAGA states? What's the news here in the good ol' USA?

    EA: The Director's Guild took out a hit on you.
