This is like a namesake for this empire, and he is just a broken sad little guy who is getting kicked around and overtaken by people who are more cutthroat and smarter and outside influences. And it's actually like the performance within the sort of Tapestry of the movie really, really worked for me. Now I don't know whether Ridley Scott was like exactly. That's exactly what I was going for when I read this script. Or if he was just like, great. That seems good and that seems good and we're going to move on. And that I think is a question that if he answers if he answers those questions right more often than not in his more recent movies, then you get a good movie. And if he's just kind of like, yada yada is them, you get all the money in the world, you know?

The way this movie is weirdly built around Jared Leto at times in a way that I never expected when I sat down to watch it. I think that you nailed something very specific. Also, Salma Hayek, Jeremy Irons, like, these are very good actors, Academy Award nominated actors who are kind of like playing a little below the taste that we expect from them. I think sometimes, Jeremy Irons is really trying to maintain his level of dignity in this movie, but it's tough. Eh, what was the Jennifer Lawrence spy movie that Jeremy Irons just showed up? Yeah, red Jeremy. It's not below his taste..

That said masks up and they are as serious about mask-wearing as the are about no cell phones. Like just like if you're in a darkened theater somebody has your cell phone. Usher will sprint across the aisle and shut that that phone down i saw ushers like sprinting up the aisle and telling people put your masks up so that was great. I must say an intermission You know the women's bathroom minds or always crazy. These are old historic theaters. That felt a little less safe to me.

But you know they're doing all sorts of things to keep people safe so the crowds were supposed to wear masks as you say. And they were supposed to show proof of vaccination for kids under twelve. Who can't get vaccinated. They had show negative cova test from the last few days. How was check-in surprisingly fast and easy. Actually i think it might have been easier and faster than i remember. Pre cova d- being. They've hired a lot more staff to check in and it goes very smoothly..

It's supposed to be about The Puerto Rican neighborhoods back in the day, and, uh, he hired all these people to be on the show and then the controversy. I don't know who started it, saying that there weren't enough dark skinned Afro Latina actors in the cast of the show about Puerto Ricans and blacks from Back in the day on in the heights. So, uh, Lin Manuel Miranda had to apologize. And then the ancient Rita Moreno got involved. She was in like West Side story. I think back in the day she's 90 years old was the original. Yeah.

But this was Lin-Manuel Miranda's vision and you can no longer have a personal vision if it doesn't satisfy the fucking Frankenstein mop. I don't like to stick up for people I don't like.

I'm seeing the discussion around afro latino representation in our film this weekend and it is clear that many in our dark skinned afro.

I mean, if it was some sort of moderate Governor, Democrat governor or something, I think you know what? Maybe let's pass the torch. Tom was an idiot. I mean, that's just be bad for America. Speaking of bad for America, let me follow up on this story that is both unimportant and important. It's unimportant in that you probably haven't heard of in the heights. The latest smash film from Lin Manuel Miranda of Hamilton fame. Alexander Hamilton, right, Uh, anyway, he put together this movie that's all about the Washington Heights neighborhood of New York City back in the day. Um and, uh He's getting criticism on Twitter yesterday, which he mistakenly Responded to you can't respond to criticism on Twitter. He's crazy, Active on Twitter. Yeah. It's clear that many in our dark skinned Afro Latino community don't feel sufficiently represented. Particularly among leading roles. He assured those disappointed with the film's casting that he's listening and he hears the hurt and frustration over Colorism. He apologized and promised to do better. So if so, there are too many light skinned Afro Latino or dark skinned Latino or light or dark skinned Afro non Latino. But not enough dark skinned Afro Latino, he told Vox last week. It's unfair to put any undue burden on representation in the heights. There are so many stories out there millions of stories. Yeah, There's a lot of different kind of people and you could choose particular people. And and and make that part of this, But you have to have a quota system. Now, if you're going to do anything It's just you can't function like that. You realize it's no, absolutely not his previous point. I think it was a pretty good one. Look, I chose to tell this story because I found it compelling. I'll tell another story later that will probably have different looking people in it. All right. The film in the Broadway musical is based on take place in Washington Heights neighborhood of New York City. The list reports the following um bah bah bah bah Observations were made in the route, which is some sort of publication. The erasure of the erasure of dark skinned Afro Latina X folks. Okay, So we're using the Latino mixed with the next thing that you go ahead, only activists use white people tell brown people how to use their own language. The Eurasia of Dark skinned Afro Lieutenants Latina X folks in a musical film and set in Washington Heights. Is colorist and racist. Um the the main cast does have a black character. But he's played by a black non Latino actor and his character is a non Latino and is seen as an outsider by his father in love interest. And should have been more light skinned Latino or dark skinned Latino. I can't you gotta have a chart. This is great. These people are eating themselves. More and more people are waking up to the fact that this is just crazy. If Lin Manuel Miranda is apologizing, then you're certain ways down the road. Yeah. Yeah, I would say. I mean, you're in the cultural revolution stuff there. I mean, when he's apologizing to the mob Yeah, That's some speaking of people who write musicals and the great Roger Waters of Pink Floyd he of dark side of the moon, the wall, etcetera. Evidently unloaded a blast on Mark Zuckerberg the other day, keeping in mind that Roger Waters and David Gilmour still fighting about Pink Floyd, even though they're both well into their seventies and will soon be playing their guitars for God, there's still bitching at each other over various issues of credit and the rest of it. Let it lie, boys. Let it lie. That's too bad. Anyway. Here's Roger Waters Clip number one. This is something that I actually put in my folio. When I came out here today, It's a request for the rights to use my song. Another brick in the world, too. In the making of the film to promote Instagram. So it's a mischief from Mark Zuckerberg with an offer of a huge, huge amount of money, and the answer is You know what? This is the insidious movement of them to take over absolutely everything. I will not be a party to this both. Soccer bag. Well, that's interesting. Who started off by saying she's pretty well give her a four out of five. She's ugly. We'll give her a one. Did he get any power in anything? And yet here he is one of the most powerful idiots in the world. Oh, I love it absolutely love it. So I wonder what the the money amount was so I'll bet it was astonishing. I can't. I can't guess what I would. I would have guessed that. I mean, when I initially saw this, I assumed it was just for free. Because, like, um, you know, lefty politicians. If you're running for president, as a Democrat, you can use all the Bruce Springsteen. Madonna music. You one. They don't charge you anything because they're on your side. And I just wondered if maybe I just assumed that Facebook thought, you know, Of course. The musicians. They're lefties. I'm a lefty. They're going to let me use whatever. But no, he actually offered money to use it. And still they turned it down. Well, I think it's time for the irony police to fully armed themselves in their SWAT gear in the Army National. I'm sorry. The irony National Guard to mount their tanks. The idea that Mark Zuckerberg Would buy a song that's all about how the world batters people, particularly sensitive people into no longer being able to function and use that theme song to promote Instagram. Are you kidding me? Instagram is the bricks in the wall. Facebook Twitter. Those are the bricks in the wall these days. Holy cow! Good for Roger Waters. Disagreeable old fart. I didn't and don't know what that song means. I've listened to it 1000.

Amanda Gorman's books jump to bestsellers after inaugural poem
"The dawn is hours before we knew it. Somehow we do it. Somehow we've weathered in witnessed a nation that isn't broken but simply unfinished we the successors of a country and the time were a skinny black girl. Descended from slaves and raised by a single mother can dream of becoming president only to find herself reciting for one that was amanda gorman the inaugural youth poet lawyer it reading from her poem. At the hill we climb which she read at joe biden's inauguration alexandra alter profiled gorman and interviewed her joining us now to talk a little bit more about that hey alexandra hey pamela so this was a really exciting week in washington but i most loved about the news events. This week was that a poet was the breakout star of the inauguration ceremony on wednesday. Amanda gorman was the youngest inaugural poet and us history. She joins a very elite class of poets. Only been a handful of poets who have performed it including robert frost my ngelo elizabeth richard blanco. So she really brought a lot to this performance. And when i spoke to her what was really interesting to me was. She felt enormous pressure. Not just because of the size of the audience she was going to be addressing. Tens of millions of people potentially watching the events at home but because of the state of the country she felt real responsibility to present a poem that reflected joe biden's inaugural theme of america united and. She said they didn't give her any specific guidelines but they said that's the three million inauguration but she also really wanted to address. What has happened recently in the country. Particularly the partisan divisions that we've seen the political violence the effects of the pandemic. It's a really dark moment. And so she was kind of trying to counter johnston to forces the potential for unity. But also these deep divisions that we're seeing in the country now so interestingly. She was really struggling with the poem. The inaugural committee reached out to her late december. She had a few weeks to work on it and was kind of she said it's like it felt like climbing a mountain would do a few versus a day and then on january six. We all watched across the country as the unfolded at the capital. There was the insurrection. There and rioters stormed the capital. And amanda gorman at that point had written about half of her poem and she stayed up late into the night and finished it because she just felt this urgency. And so you're there are verses in the poem that reflect what we saw that day the other thing that she said that was interesting about how she prepared to write it was. She said she always starts with historical research so she studied speeches from leaders who really brought their countries together. In times of crisis she looked at speeches by winston. Churchill abraham lincoln martin luther king junior and she listened to music that inspired her including the musical hamilton. There are a couple of hamilton references within the poem. That some people caught including lin-manuel miranda who was very appreciative of her poetry. So it's been incredible to see their response to her work after she gave this really kind of inspiring performance her books. She has two books coming out this year. Actually three because they're releasing the poem she wrote as a standalone and she has now the number one and number two books on amazon and this is a poet who is twenty two years old and she's preparing to publish her debut collection. This fall so she's gone incredibly quickly from somebody who had following and was pretty well known in the poetry world to kind of national literary star and one other thing that i loved about her performance and her approach to it which she talked about how she felt like she was representing not just her own words but representing poetry itself representing american poetry and y you know it was important to have poetry part of the ceremony. She said when. I spoke to her now more than ever. The united states needs an inaugural poem. Poetry is typically the touchstone that we go back to when we have to remind ourselves of the history that we stand on the future that we stand for so i thought it was lovely that she felt that she was standing up in front of the capital. Two weeks after the insurrection took place kind of representing poetry as a form that can unite the country.
