New Trailer for 'Where Is Kyra?' Starring Michelle Pfeiffer

"In Brooklyn, New York, Kyra (Pfeiffer) loses her job and struggles to survive on her ailing mother's income. As the weeks and months go on, her problems worsen. This leads her on a risky and enigmatic path that threatens her life."

– Nigerian-born director Andrew Dosunmu'sWhere Is Kyra? has finally found a distributor after screening at the Sundance Film Festival this January, via Great Point Media after, ironically, a year of searching, currently looking at releases.
– His past films include Mother of George (2013) and Restless City (2011), also hard-hitting dramas focused on people in New York City living under difficult circumstances. He's also directed music videos for Tracy Chapman, Isaac Hayes, and other artists.
– Michelle Pfeiifer has been receiving outstanding reviews as the title character, some calling it her best performance in years. "A soul-searching Michelle Pfeiffer makes a welcome return," says Variety's review.
– Dosunmu said on the inspiration for the film, “I wanted to tell a story about these people that are disenfranchised that we see every day. We don’t ask ourselves the question, ‘Why are they here?'”. The film is about what it's like to grow old in a society that doesn't honor its elders and having to live in a city with non-stop motion.
– Pfeiffer also starredinThe Wizard of Lies (which got her a GG and Emmy nomination), Murder On the Orient Express and mother! in 2017, and will appear in Marvel's Ant Man and the Wasp as Janet van Dyne later this year.











ONTD, are you ready for the best part of mother! (and Dark Shadows, People Like Us, The Family + other films you didn't see since 2007's Stardust)'s comeback this year?

How figure skaters choose their music, explained with Adam Rippon

2018 Olympic medalist Adam Rippon, and music designer Hugo Chouinard helps explain how figure skaters pick their music.

The 1932 Winter Olympics was the first time figure skating was performed to music. Today, music is an essential part of the sport and there’s a hidden strategy behind how they pick their songs. For a long time, figure skaters skated to classics like Carmen, Swan Lake, and Don Quixote. Not only because it’s great music but because of the clear story line and the dynamic characters in them. But this is all changing. In 2014, the ISU changed the music rules to allow skaters to skate to music with lyrics.

- "This decision was mutual and lovingly made at the end of last year. We are two best friends who have decided to part ways as a couple, but look forward to continuing our cherished friendship. Normally we would do this privately, but given that the gossip industry cannot resist an opportunity to speculate and invent, we wanted to convey the truth directly. Whatever else is printed about us that is not directly from us, is someone else’s fictional narrative. Above all, we are determined to maintain the deep respect and love that we have for one another.

Bill Murray Says the GOP Tax Reform Bill Is Great, Thinks Comedy Is Getting "Harder and Harder"

$

– In an interview on CNBC, Bill Murray had stuff to say about how the tax reform bill is good, thinks Democrats need to find the "common" factors that unite all people instead of trying to "pick out" support from marginalized groups, and talks about how people still like Groundhog Day.
– Conservatives were happy and waved his support around like a musty flag bc most celebrities in liberal Hollywood won't bat for them which makes their harmful views outsider opinions or something even though an orange terd is sitting in the oval office sending his thoughts and prayers to Florida.
– Murray also said being a comedian is "harder and harder", citing people accusing Jim Downey, long-time writer for SNL (like decades) who's involved in a lot of the political sketches, of being a right-wing comedic writer.
– Murray also appeared on SNL in January for a Morning Joe sketch and played Steve Bannon, where his character said Jared Fogle from Subway and Logan Paul would make great 2020 candidates. He also appeared in a 2016 White House video promoting the ACA.


– On #MeToo: "If people are monstrous, it eventually comes back." [...] "We get justice, but we don't get it when we want it. ...This is unusual. People are getting their justice rather quickly."  🚮

– On comedy being hard:“How can Kristen Wiig make everyone laugh? She’s not thinking about being political. She’s thinking about what resonates and what’s common to all of us…My friend who’s a great comedy writer, Jim Downey, he’s accused of being a right-wing comedy writer, if there is such a thing.”

“He says, no no, I just think the way the Democrats handle things is poor, the way they try to pick out little pieces…where [they say] ‘we represent the Hispanics, we represent LGBTQ’ or something. And they’re not speaking to everyone at once. It’s almost demeaning to say ‘I’m choosing you because you’re a splinter group or you’re a certain minority group.'”

“There’s almost a resentment…you’re separated again by a politician. You’re my people, I’m in control of you, and I represent you. Instead of thinking each citizen has the right to be respected as a citizen first under the laws of the country.”

– On tax reform:“The change in the tax law is a great thing for corporations, it’s a fantastic thing. I don’t pretend to understand what that will mean to the future in terms of the economy or what the budget will have to do with what people call entitlements.”

“In the first step, it’s made things easier. I think people feel like there was too much regulation, and yet I hope they don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater when breaking down regulations.”






Ex-SNL cast member Horatio Sanz said this about Jim Downey in 2014:"I don't think the show itself has ever let its freak flag fly in the last 20 years. Lorne's very concerned with being neutral so he wants to make fun of everyone. … He doesn't want the show to be this liberal bash rag. He may be a little more conservative than he lets on.

… And you also have Jim Downey, who's basically the Karl Rove of SNL. He's always writing the right wing sketches, and honestly I think a lot of times they're out of tune with the audience. … I think Lorne sometimes leans too much on Downey and not enough on guys like Seth. Basically in the last couple of years, it's been Seth going up against Downey to set the show's tone on politics, and I think we could definitely have been harder on the right. They deserved it, and we dropped the ball as far as getting them."

NBC Olympics analyst and five-time Olympic medalist Bode Miller received backlash for suggesting that Anna Veith's recent struggles could be due to the fact that she recently got married. 

"The knee is certainly an issue. I want to point out, she also got married. It's historically very challenging to race on World Cup with a family or after being married. You know, not to blame the spouses, but I just want to toss that out there that it might be her husband's fault."

Pop Music Potential Emergency: Spice Girls WILL Tour?

- A 'source' stated Mel B signed a contract to tour, as well as the rest of the girls
- Rumors are the tour will be limited and in two countries (ugh)
- TMZ reported that they would tour, but without any official scoop
- Victoria has downright denied a Spice Girls tour during fashion week. However she has also stated there would not be any sort of reunion with the girls last year (maybe before she knew ha business was crunchinT)
- This would not be their first 'worst kept secret' where they denied certain plans (re: Olympics 2012 performance)

My takeaway: they are planning something, and these back and forth rumors of the tour is a way to build hype and making time to actually plan it. Following the tour will be the new show, which the tour will act as a promotional thing. Then they'll get to sell merch inbetween

1. This Love Story Will Self Destruct by Leslie Cohen



About: This is the classic tale of boy meets girl: Girl…goes home with someone else.

Meet Eve. She’s a dreamer, a feeler, a careening well of sensitivities who can’t quite keep her feet on the ground, or steer clear of trouble. She’s a laugher, a crier, a quirky and quick-witted bleeding-heart-worrier.

Meet Ben. He’s an engineer, an expert at leveling floors who likes order, structure, and straight lines. He doesn’t opine, he doesn’t ruminate, he doesn’t simmer until he boils over.

So naturally, when the two first cross paths, sparks don’t exactly fly. But then they meet again. And again. And then, finally, they find themselves with a deep yet fragile connection that will change the course of their relationship—possibly forever.

Follow Eve and Ben as they navigate their twenties on a winding journey through first jobs, first dates, and first breakups; through first reunions, first betrayals and, maybe, first love. This is When Harry Met Sally reimagined; a charming tale told from two unapologetically original points of view. With an acerbic edge and heartwarming humor, debut novelist Leslie Cohen takes us on a tour of what life looks like when it doesn’t go according to plan, and explores the complexity, chaos, and comedy in finding a relationship built to last.

6. Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz



About: Aristotle is an angry teen with a brother in prison. Dante is a know-it-all who has an unusual way of looking at the world. When the two meet at the swimming pool, they seem to have nothing in common.

And it is through this friendship that Ari and Dante will learn the most important truths about themselves and the kind of people they want to be.

12. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell



About: Cath is a Simon Snow fan.

Okay, the whole world is a Simon Snow fan...

But for Cath, being a fan is her life—and she’s really good at it. She and her twin sister, Wren, ensconced themselves in the Simon Snow series when they were just kids; it’s what got them through their mother leaving. Reading. Rereading. Hanging out in Simon Snow forums, writing Simon Snow fan fiction, dressing up like the characters for every movie premiere.

Cath’s sister has mostly grown away from fandom, but Cath can’t let go. She doesn’t want to.

Now that they’re going to college, Wren has told Cath she doesn’t want to be roommates. Cath is on her own, completely outside of her comfort zone. She’s got a surly roommate with a charming, always-around boyfriend, a fiction-writing professor who thinks fan fiction is the end of the civilized world, a handsome classmate who only wants to talk about words... And she can’t stop worrying about her dad, who’s loving and fragile and has never really been alone.

For Cath, the question is: Can she do this? Can she make it without Wren holding her hand? Is she ready to start living her own life? Writing her own stories?

And does she even want to move on if it means leaving Simon Snow behind?

eleanor

20. Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell



About: Two misfits.
One extraordinary love.

Eleanor... Red hair, wrong clothes. Standing behind him until he turns his head. Lying beside him until he wakes up. Making everyone else seem drabber and flatter and never good enough...Eleanor.

Park... He knows she'll love a song before he plays it for her. He laughs at her jokes before she ever gets to the punch line. There's a place on his chest, just below his throat, that makes her want to keep promises...Park.

Set over the course of one school year, this is the story of two star-crossed sixteen-year-olds—smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try.

The Blind Assassin

30. The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood



About: Margaret Atwood takes the art of storytelling to new heights in a dazzling novel that unfolds layer by astonishing layer and concludes in a brilliant and wonderfully satisfying twist. Told in a style that magnificently captures the colloquialisms and clichés of the 1930s and 1940s, The Blind Assassin is a richly layered and uniquely rewarding experience.

It opens with these simple, resonant words: "Ten days after the war ended, my sister drove a car off the bridge." They are spoken by Iris, whose terse account of her sister Laura's death in 1945 is followed by an inquest report proclaiming the death accidental. But just as the reader expects to settle into Laura's story, Atwood introduces a novel-within-a- novel. Entitled The Blind Assassin, it is a science fiction story told by two unnamed lovers who meet in dingy backstreet rooms. When we return to Iris, it is through a 1947 newspaper article announcing the discovery of a sailboat carrying the dead body of her husband, a distinguished industrialist.

For the past twenty-five years, Margaret Atwood has written works of striking originality and imagination. In The Blind Assassin, she stretches the limits of her accomplishments as never before, creating a novel that is entertaining and profoundly serious. The Blind Assassin proves once again that Atwood is one of the most talented, daring, and exciting writers of our time. Like The Handmaid's Tale, it is destined to become a classic.
