TUGGING THE MEMORY BANKS

post from INNER TOOB on 07 November 2009 10:15:00 PM. © INNER TOOB

When I posted the picture of Nehemiah Persoff as Andrei Gromyko back in my thirteen day remembrance of "The Missiles Of October", there was something about the screen capture that reminded me of something, but I couldn't quite place it.

And then a week or so later, it came to me when I talked with character actor George Murdock again at work......... BCnU!

AS SEEN ON TV: OLIVER R. TAMBO

post from INNER TOOB on 07 November 2009 08:25:00 PM. © INNER TOOB

OLIVER REGINALD TAMBO
AS SEEN IN:
"Endgame"

AS PLAYED BY:
John Kani

Oliver Reginald Tambo was president of the ANC from 1967 to 1991. He kept the black nationalist organization together from a home base in Lusaka, Zambia, after being banned by the South African government in 1960. Thanks to Tambo's ability to attract powerful young activists to the cause ? including Thabo Mbeki ? the ANC transformed itself into the voice for black South Africans under apartheid.

In the 1980s, Tambo asked Michael Young to help him "build a bridge" between the apartheid government and the ANC. Mbeki, who became his second-in-command, attended the secret talks organized by Young, reporting back to Tambo. As work toward a negotiations continued, Tambo suffered a stroke and underwent extensive medical treatment.

Tambo returned to his homeland in 1991 and was elected national chairman of the ANC and chair of its emancipation commission. He suffered another stroke and died in 1993. One year later, South Africa held its first democratic elections with people of all races being able to vote.

The Ruins: Why Be Just Critical When You Can Be
Hypocritical

With Wus finally gone, I was hoping the Champions would get their act together and finally force the goons to prove themselves in the Ruins but no such luck. Fortunately, and sorry to ruin the suspense, most of the scapegoats...

A Knight's Tale

post from Insights of a Television Addict on 07 November 2009 06:00:00 PM. © Insights of a Television Addict

I watched A Knight's Tale the other day. As you might have guessed, I was of course slightly pained to watch Heath Ledger alive and well on screen. It's not the same thing to watch an actor who died of old age, possibly even before I was born, alight the screen, but when I think about this man who was only a few years older than I; when I remember watching this movie while he was still alive and looked the same...it's a bit like seeing a ghost.
Regardless, though, of Heath Ledger's untimely death, A Knight's Tale is still the fabulous and terrible move that it ever was.
Shannyn Sossamon spends the film wearing the most atrociousness outfits. Her hair is always utterly bizarre, and the hat she is wearing in her first scene is the ugliest hat I have ever seen. It's hard to think of her as a beauty when she lacks style in almost every imaginable way. But William (Ledger) loves Jocelyn (Sossamon) for some unknown reason, so accept and move on.
Move on equally from the complaints about the bizarre mix of contemporary and medieval style, music, and everything else. It was done on purpose, and if you just accept it, it's actually a lot of fun.
But not as much fun as Wat (Alan Tudyk) and Chaucer (Paul Bettany). If these two don't reduce you into fits of ridiculous giggles, than you and I do not share a sense of humour. They are such great comic relief.
Finally, I must mention Rufus Sewell. So many people think of him first as a villain because of this movie, but I saw him first in Dangerous Beauty. Oh is he attractive, sexy, debonair, and all that other good stuff. And so what if he is the villain, it's really that he's not particularly forward thinking and refuses to be beaten by anyone.
What was your opinion of A Knight's Tale?

The Jackson Family reality show debuts in
December

post from TV Squad on 07 November 2009 05:02:00 PM. © TV Squad

jacksons_4 Reportedly, before Michael Jackson died suddenly in June, his brothers - and other family members - were putting together a reality show for A&E. After all, celebrity reality shows have a certain appeal, especially train wrecks like Being Bobby Brown or Hey, Paula. Not that the Jacksons were thinking that way. I'm sure they envision something classy and edifying.

Since Michael's death, the interest in this miniseries has escalated, much like the interest in all things Jackson. Will the brothers talk about Michael? How much? Will Michael's children be included in the show? All that and more will be answered when The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty debuts on A&E December 13, at 9 p.m. The plan is for two hour-long episodes to kick off the series.
