Oh, brother! Mom and dad are taking me to see the new models to decide which car to buy. Why? I already know they're going to get the new Buick Super 8. I don't really care, as long as we can go see a movie afterward. Charlie Chaplin's "The Great Dictator" is a big hit, and though Disney's "Fantasia" is flopping, I have a feeling it'll be re-evaluated as a classic in the future. I mean, it's in technicolor!
Ooooh, Alfred Hitchcock's got a new movie out called "Rebecca" and it looks pretty exciting, let's check it out!
Well, whatever we decide to do, let's have some fun. It's 1940, so why not eat cheese, gossip, and drink carbonated beverages, I mean it's not like World War II's gonna break out or anything!
Greetings music lovers, and welcome to another edition of Manor Music Monday, this entry being, I hope, a brassy antidote to the mess that has become The Met Ball, or the East Coast's most famous Jerk Parade, tonight with Extra Jerk and Tupperware Titays (with apologies to dearly departed Tupperware). Can anything work to counter this gory dumpster fire of tacky, mess and blurgh? DJ Li'l Scratch believes so, and tonight at the Manor's exclusive after hours club, "Huh? Wha? I'll Have That With Sloppy Oral," he'll by spinning delicious tunes by a brassy singer you're guaranteed to be delighted by. Yes, it's Miss Toni Fisher, a performer who's giving us serious "growl, snarl, snap" above. Don't mess with Miss Toni amirite? Her time in the spotlight was brief. She was a Hollywood nightclub singer for only five years, recorded just one LP - 1960's "The Big Hurt" - and scored only two Top 40 hits, the first one being ...
John Lewis marched and bled so The Voting Rights Act could become law. Hundreds more died. But John Roberts and his largely racist, Republican Supreme Court have destroyed Lewis' legacy - and demolished The Voting Rights Act. American democracy may never recover. This is not hyperbole. Years ago, when Roberts was about to be appointed to the Supreme Court, Lewis warned us: "Under Roberts, I feel that the leadership of the Court will promote politics over the protection of individual rights and liberties. Roberts may be a brilliant lawyer, but I wonder whether he can really understand the depth of what it took to get the Voting Rights Act passed. The right to vote is precious, almost sacred. It is the most powerful non-violent tool we have in a democratic society. Roberts's memos reveal him to be hostile towards civil rights, affirmative action and the Voting Rights Act. He has even said that Voting Rights Act violations, and I quote, 'should not be made too easy to ...
Credit: A24/EW This August, A24 will be releasing their biopic on Anthony Bourdain. Tony , which is directed by Matt Johnson, and is expected to focus on Bourdain's early culinary experiences in 1976 during his time in Provincetown, Mass. Dominic Sessa, who rose to fame after his breakout role in The Holdovers, will play young Bourdain. Other stars on the cast include Antonio Banderas, Emilia Jones and Rich Sommer. This kind of biopic seems like something Bourdain would probably not approve of. But you can't tell that to Hollywood! Will you be checking out Tony this summer? Credit: World of Reel
