Why did the Oscars snub James Franco but not Gary Oldman?

0
0



James Franco was flying high at the Golden Globes. He picked up the award for Best Actor, Musical or Comedy and he also won a Critics’ Choice Award on January 11, but didn’t show up to collect it, and reportedly received tepid applause. Franco was facing massive backlash due to several women coming forward with sexual abuse allegations. The Globes and Critics Choice awards are fairly good indicators of who will get nominated for an Academy Award. Academy Award nominations were announced and Franco's name was nowhere in sight. Although The Disaster Artist did receive a nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay. Oscar Best Actor Nominee Gary Oldman is a front runner for his performance as Winston Churchill but Oldman's shady past resurfaced when then-wife Donya Fiorentino’s 2001 accusations that he assaulted her with a telephone in front of the couple’s children. “I tried to dial 911. Gary grabbed the phone receiver from my hand, and hit me in the face with the telephone receiver three or four times. Both of the children were crying,” Florentine said. If Hollywood is truly committed to changing its behavior and reversing the power dynamic that has persisted for too long, it would look not only at actor and creators’ professional actions, but their interactions in their personal lives as well — and not just at the current moment of #MeToo and Time's Up. Many people have criticized Hollywood for trying to be the vanguard about a problem that cuts across all industries, particularly plaguing women in working class fields. If the entertainment industry wants awards season to serve as an opportunity to shine a light on society’s insidious power imbalance that gives rise to harassment and misconduct, it can’t overlook men’s past actions in the name of an accomplishment on the road to a little gold statue.

Justin Timberlake’s “Say Something” is nothing

0
0



No Justice Timberlake is on his third single in three weeks and still desperate for a massive hit. "Mayo of the Woods", is slated to be released next week but his first 2 singles didn't live up to his label's expecations and neither serve up the slice of ‘Americana’ Timberlake has been promising for his upcoming album, a worrying sign of a clear musical identity crisis.

Timberlake revolutionized pop in the ‘00s with the help of The Neptunes and Timbaland, but is it surprising that after 15 years of collaboration the resulting music has come to sound stale, tired and predictable that was "Filthy". It is certainly not as grating as the similarly nonsensical amalgamation "Supplies". Mayo seems rooted in the concept of reinvention, yet is unwilling to change up his personnel to make that transformation feasible. Now he is pandering to the country fan base with "Say Something", Spin reviewed it: "More like a 2003 Lifehouse ballad than a Alan Jackson song".

The pop landscape is drastically different from five years ago. Timberlake is an ageing man in a young person’s game, someone who has proudly never chased trends but his level and brand of fame is ill suited to the modern realities of pop stardom. For the most part, ‘pop stardom’ doesn’t really exist anymore. There isn’t any one person who holds that much of a grip over the whole industry the way Timberlake once had. Currently Say Something is being toppled by Drake's God's Plan on iTunes.

ONTD Original: Why "Padmaavat" Is a Regressive Film

0
0



Some background before I begin the post: I was actually anticipating this movie and defending it vehemently before the reviews came out, but I still ended up watching it yesterday in order to see if the misgivings that some of the film critics had about it were true. To my disappointment, it was indeed true. This film is quite backwards with its Islamophobia, homophobia, and misogyny. I'm going to try to explain it in detail, and there will be some spoilers.



1. Let's start with the Islamophobia. Please note that I am not in any way trying to say that the real Alauddin Khilji (yes, he actually existed. Padmavati, on the other hand, most likely didn't.) was a good person or that any of the things he did were right. I am well aware that he was a cruel invader. That is not my issue with the film. My irritation is that the movie fabricated a few aspects of him in order to emphasize that he was a "Muslim savage". Here are some examples of the harmful/stereotypical inaccuracies:

- His appearance. The real Alauddin Khilji was a Turkic-Afghan king who looked something more like this, according to paintings/drawings:

The film, however, chose to make him look like this:

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

He looks more like Khal Drago, and is given longer hair and heavy surma (eyeliner). It is done intentionally to make him look menacing and unkempt.

- Eating food like an animal. In the film, Khilji is shown to have eaten roti and meat like a feral dog. Historians have said that this wouldn't have been accurate:




"Mr Bhansali's Khilji, played by Ranveer Singh, has kohl-rimmed hungry eyes, a scarred face, a gym-toned body, wears furs when he is not bare-chested and rips meat off the bone with his teeth.

Historian Rana Safvi believes that Khilji was anything but savage. It was under his rule the Delhi Sultanate heavily drew from Persia, one of the oldest and most sophisticated civilisations of all time, she said.

"The rulers followed the exact code of conduct and etiquette as in Persia. It would have been very formal - the eating, dining and sartorial choices," Ms Safvi told PTI."


- The maniacal hyena-like laughter

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

The gif above is pretty much how Khilji laughs throughout the film.

- The crazy eyes complete with trance-like rolling. It is apparent in the song/dance sequence, "Khalibali".

- The ferocious stomping and making facial expressions like the joker when dancing. Again, this is shown in the song, "Khalibali".

Basically, my question is what was the point of adding in these inaccuracies by savaging up his character like this? If Bhansali wanted to convey Khilji as a bad person, then he could have done it accurately and still would have made his point. There was also absolutely no nuance as to how Khilji was written, he was basically a cartoon villain. A few of the film critics' reviews have expressed that this film adds fuel to the fire to the paranoia that right-wing Hindus have about Muslims, and I agree with that. This is especially evident in the way the movie portrays Rajputs in contrast to the Muslim characters. The Rajputs are deified and there is frequent dialogue in the movie about how they are a people of integrity, honor, valor, and courage.

Furthermore, there is also a double standard between how Khilji and Ratan Singh's actions are shown. When Khilji is unfaithful to his wife, Mehrunissa, it is rendered as awful and reprehensible. On the other hand, Ratan Singh already has a wife, Nagmati, when he falls in love with Padmavati and marries her. Nagmati demonstrates many times that she is not ok with her husband having a second wife, and yet the relationship between Ratan Singh and Padmavati is supposed to be romantic and a love story for the ages.

2. The homophobia. Alauddin Khilji was documented to have been bisexual in real life and may have had a sexual relationship with Malik Kafur. The film does hint at this. So, what's the problem, you might ask? The problem is the way Bhansali tries to make Khilji's bisexuality seem like a negative and comical thing. It is seen as one more reason as to why Khilji is a lesser person than the Hindu king, Ratan Singh, who is straight. For example, in one scene, Ratan Singh's courtiers refer to Malik Kafur as Khilji's "begum" (for those who don't know, "begum" is a title usually given to married Muslim women in Central and South Asia). It is a homophobic remark and yet it is played up for laughs because bisexual/gay men are basically women, don't you know? *rolls eyes* Also, Malik is shown as a caricature as well with his flamboyance.

3. The misogyny. I understand why the Rajput women committed jauhar (mass self-immolation) at the end, it's just that entire sequence and the dialogue before it makes it seem as if it should be glorified. At one point in Padmavati's speech before the jauhar scene, she says something along the lines of (I'm paraphrasing) "our men who died on the field today are like Gods and whe should do this (jauhar) in order to honor them." Why is the onus on the women to uphold the kingdom's honor, dignity, and pride? And by such a slow and torturous death as well? As Padmavati walks into the fire, the screen fades to black and there is a voice-over saying that the sacrifice that she and the Rajput women made would ensure that they will forever be remembered in history, and that they saved the Kingdom of Mewar's "honor" by doing so.

Before Ratan Singh goes into battle with Khilji, Padmavati asks him to give her the ok to commit jauhar and says, "I can't even kill myself without your permission."

'The Greatest Showman' Becomes a Certified Sleeper Hit; 'Jumanji' Continues Box Office Reign

0

The three ring musical biography starring Hugh Jackman, Zendaya, and Disney Prince Zac Efron has defied all of the odds, becoming a sleeper hit at the box office. The film has been helped by its catching soundtrack and good word of mouth, particularly in Reddit film circles.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and Nick Jonas continues to dominate the big screen. The New York Times is pleasantly surprised by the achievements of both of these films, calling them "underappreciated."




The Greatest Showman soundtrack has sat atop the charts all year, making this Zefron's third Billboard #1, along with his High School Musical offerings.

Why ONE DAY AT A TIME Is Important For TV Right Now

Netflix remake series One Day at a Time is back for season 2 TODAY!!! ...and it's recieving great reviews as well as faciliatating discussion.
one_day_at_a_time

The co-creator spoke out recently about the show being relatable and showing the parts of American families that aren't often represented on tv, saying: ".“I just wanted to tell Latino stories." but various ethnic backgrounds seem to find themselves in these chracaters as well, adding, "There’s so many people that the story resonates with, about just being the ‘other.’" Moreover, the show itself is making progress in terms of equality in the entertainment industry, with most of the writers and staff being Latino as well. However the creator acknowledges there are still ways to go in terms of equality and representation, especially when it comes to awards and nominations.

While the first season dealt with LGBT and deporation issues, the second season will have a focus on Elena's appearence and her passing as white as well as her relationship with her father who's still not accepting of her sexuality. Moreover, the season is also dealing with racism and Alex trying to understand how to deal with it as he becomes a teenager.

Watch the footage of Tom Cruise Breaking His Ankle

Tom Cruise and the rest of the Mission: Impossible - Fallout cast are on the Graham Norton show tonight to promote the upcoming film (they did not want to reschedule promotion? Or something?). Tom Cruise brought along the footage of him breaking his ankle while filming in August, which halted production for five months. Tom's ankle is still broken, by the way.

Tom said: "I was chasing Henry [Cavill] and was meant to hit the side of the wall and pull myself over but the mistake was my foot hitting the wall. I knew instantly my ankle was broken and I really didn't want to do it again so just got up and carried on with the take. I said, "It's broken. That's a wrap. Take me to hospital" and then everyone got on the phone and made their vacation arrangements."

Henry added: "I thought at one point, 'Ah, this is how I go but at least I will have been killed by Tom Cruise and it will definitely make the papers!'"

The OG Charmed Ones have all shared their mixed feelings about The CW's efforts in reboot the show without them. After yesterday's announcement of the network ordering a retooled Charmed pilot, Holly Marie Combs made it clear that she feels The CW is being opportunistic in its efforts to reboot the show. She also shared some tea that she served as an uncredited writer on the series and that she doesn't receive royalties for any of the work she did.




TV writer Carina Mackenzie (who is doing the Roswell reboot for the CW, not the Charmed reboot) took issue with the use of "idiot" in reference to the new writers.
