Why did Field create Tár as a lesbian rather than a straight woman, or one of the great men themselves? The decision by director and screenwriter Todd Field to make Tár a lesbian unsettled me. The film’s core is not so much about a lesbian predator but about the more general use and abuse of power, including sexual power, that Lydia wields at will. So why did Field create Tár as a lesbian rather than a straight woman, or one of the great men themselves? — “Tár on Tár,” and is soon to conduct a landmark live recording of Gustav Mahler’s “Symphony No.

☆ I'm Conan O'Brien's assistant of 13 years. I nap on the job, expense things I shouldn't, and talk back — and I'll probably work for him forever.

Sona Movsesian was an NBC page and landed her assistant job through an internal recommendation. But at times, I really don't act like it. I'm working with, in my opinion, the funniest person on television, and I'm working on a show that I'm proud of. I think I will be Conan's assistant until he dies — I'm going to ride this wave for as long as I can. Most people don't think of an assistant job in entertainment as a forever-job.

☆ Disney pushes back several Marvel movie release dates

Oct 11 (Reuters) - Walt Disney Co (DIS.N) announced on Tuesday it will be pushing back the release dates for numerous upcoming Marvel films including, "Blade," "Fantastic Four" and "Avengers: Secret Wars." Following "Blade" director Bassam Tariq's departure from the project in September due to scheduling conflicts, Marvel has decided to temporarily shut down production of the film to search for a new director. "Blade" is now slated to premiere on Sept. 6, 2024 instead of Nov. 3, 2023, which has impacted the rest of the studios' production scheduling. The Marvel Blade character who first appeared in comic book "The Tomb of Dracula," written by Marv Wolfman in 1973 eventually had his own storyline that was later adapted into the Wesley Snipes film trilogy which includes, "Blade," "Blade II" and "Blade Trinity.”Throughout the Marvel Cinematic Multiverse, stories have been intertwined and a significant delay from one film often impacts the slate for others.

“It’s fascinating how people seek queerness — and where they seek queerness,” Fuller added. Murnau’s “Faust” and “Nosferatu,” such moments of levity keep viewers engaged while they’re soaking up early Hollywood’s rich queer history. “Whether you’re ideologically queer or sexually queer, you might relate to the monster’s narrative, because you, too, have felt ‘outsidered’ or villainized in some way.” Bryan fuller, 'queer for fear' executive producer“The Dracula costume kit is basically drag. So this, to me, is the experience of being a gay man.”As Alaska’s assessment demonstrates, “Queer for Fear” isn’t interested in just exploring how horror has provided a haven for queer creatives. Because of the Hays Code, LGBTQ creators and those, like Hitchcock, who wanted to include those themes had to do so through subtext, which counterintuitively gave birth to some of the most essential queer horror ever made.

Louise Fletcher, a late-blooming star whose riveting performance as the cruel and calculating Nurse Ratched in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” set a new standard for screen villains and won her an Academy Award, has died at age 88. Fletcher died in her sleep surrounded by family at her home in Montdurausse, France, her agent David Shaul told The Associated Press on Friday. Fletcher had moved to Los Angeles to launch her acting career soon after graduating from North Carolina State University. Estelle Louise Fletcher was born the second of four children on July 22, 1934, in Birmingham. The Fletcher children were helped by their aunt, with whom they lived in Bryant, Texas, for a year.

Tot în această perioadă am început să-mi pun tot felul de întrebări despre identitate și naționalitate și dacă mă simt eu diasporă. Totuși, ce înseamnă diaspora în afara perioadelor electorale (care sunt tot mai scurte în Moldova)? Mă simțeam diasporă atunci când am fost la vot și am stat la coadă. De Sânziene – ziua iei – sper să port ia mea.”Anatol Graur, SpaniaAnatol Graur„Nu mă simt parte din diasporă pentru că nici nu știu ce-i unește pe moldovenii de peste hotare, în afara faptului că sunt peste hotare. Mă simt diasporă atunci când cineva mă întreabă de unde sunt.

Расскажите немного о сюжете вашего фильма «Memoria», нам всем интересно знать, о чем же он. Максим, хочу спросить об одной из сцен фильма «Memoria», в которой, кстати говоря, снимался и я со своей дочкой. Наверное, главная трудность для режиссера, планирующего снимать кино в Молдове, заключается в страхе пойти на риск, сделать первый шаг. Кстати, он нам тоже помогал при создании фильма «Memoria» - он непосредственно присутствовал на съемках, при монтаже, кое-что подсказывал. Беседовал Николай МишкойФотографии были сделаны во время съемок фильма «Memoria» и предоставлены редакции Noi.md режиссером картины Максимом Кисничаном.
