Movies of the Duke, Hitch, Kurosawa, Brando, Bogie, Poitier, Bruce Lee, Bette Davis and other silver screen icons were presented April 13-16 at the 14th annual Turner Classic Movies Classic Film Festival. Living legends were on hand, live and in person, too. On opening night movie maestro Steven Spielberg discussed Howard Hawks’ 1959 Rio Bravo and more with co-star Angie Dickinson and helmer Paul Thomas Anderson at the Western’s screening in the TCL Chinese Theatre IMAX (that renowned movie palace formerly known as Grauman’s Chinese). 60 years after its premiere, Ann-Margret introduced her 1963 musical comedy Bye Bye Birdie on TCL’s big screen.
Can we form a circle big enough to fit 330 million Americans? Do we have enough folding chairs? I don’t know, but somehow we’ve got to launch a national conversation about . . . war, security, guns, fear and, oh God, the global future.
Ultimately we need to pull the whole planet into it — this is, after all, one planet, not 193 separate entities — but a circle of Americans, citizens of the most militarized and, perhaps, fearful nation on Earth, is a good place to start. We have to reach into our collective soul, folks!
The Central Ohio Reuse Coalition (CORC) will proudly join Columbus City Councilman Emmanuel V. Remy at this evening’s council meeting where Councilman Remy will sponsor a resolution committing the city to a reduction of plastic in Central Ohio and to encourage community members, organizations, and businesses to commit to plastic reduction. This follows CORC’s meeting with Councilman Remy where coalition representatives presented Remy with a draft resolution and requested his sponsorship.
The resolution comes just after Earth Day, and demonstrates the city’s commitment to reducing plastic, protecting the health of its citizens, and diverting waste from the landfill.
Right now, it’s critical that members of Congress hear from voters who demand better for farmed animals. Big Ag’s influence is powerful, and your voice is needed to ensure the Farm Bill supports a more humane food system and brighter future for all of us. Take action today by sending a message to your lawmakers. The welfare of people, animals and our planet depends on it.
The Farm Bill comes along only once every five years, and perhaps more than any other piece of legislation, it gives our nation the chance to improve farm animal welfare and transition to a more humane food system.
Unlike most bills, the Farm Bill must pass. The key question is: what will make it into the final version that becomes law? Will it help animals, or harm them? That’s where you come in.
In "Beau is Afraid," Ari Aster's third film, we're taken on a surreal and chaotic journey with Joaquin Phoenix as Beau, a neurotic man tormented by inherited mental illness. It's a cinematic experience unlike any other. With a budget of $35 million, A24 has given Aster carte blanche to create a unique and unsettling movie that runs for three hours. But trust me; this is a movie you cannot miss. Ari Aster says, "Beau is Afraid" is like "if you pumped a 10-year-old full of Zoloft and had him get your groceries." Just remember, you've been warned.
