71 Thoughts I Had Watching The "Entourage" Movie

0
0

How did Turtle get this hot in 8 months?!

Warner Bros.

1. The film starts in Ibiza, so I'm briefly worried that this is about to go the way of Sex and the City 2.
2. There's like 500% more breasts in this movie than there ever was on HBO.
3. No one has mentioned yet how hot Turtle looks.
4. I think it would only be fair to see Jerry Ferrara naked, you know, for the women and gay fans. I think Entourage underestimates how many gay people watched this male version of Carrie Bradshaw and her cohorts.
5. Vince will never be anything more than the epitome #RichPeopleProblems.
6. Oh, wait, he got divorced from Sophia after a few days? Huh?!
7. Is this movie taking place RIGHT AFTER the show ended?
8. How did Turtle get this hot this fast?!
9. Drama makes a Natalie Wood joke. Is he going to come out in this movie?
10. Ari took the offer to run a movie studio like we all knew he would in the series finale, so way to ignore every cliffhanger from the series finale!
11. Who wants to bet no one sane will talk him out of directing this movie, it'll become a disaster, but end up a success anyway?
12. The Entourage theme still makes me misty-eyed. I kinda love these fools.

Warner Bros.

13. We've jumped ahead 8 months. Which I still feel like is not an appropriate amount of time for Turtle to be looking like a GOD right now.
14. The group is being interviewed by shady-ass Piers Morgan. Is he relevant in this universe or...
15. I almost wish they'd break the fourth wall during this interview instead of giving us all exposition no one needed.
16. Awww Johnny's Bananas got canceled. Is Drama ever going to win at life?
17. E is wearing cargo shorts, which is all the proof I need that he's the absolute worst.
18. Is it practical to cover yourself with a sheet after you've already exposed everything during a sex scene?
19. I'm super depressed we're still having to endure the Ballad of Sloan and E.
19. Ari tells Turtle he looks like Karen Carpenter and you seriously cannot tell me this movie isn't for gay people.
20. T.I. and Tiny are at the doctor's office when E and Sloan get there threatening to get a vasectomy, which is probably something he should actually do in real life?!
21. Vince and the crew walking around without paparazzi constantly snapping photos of them is the most unrealistic part of this movie.
22. Turtle street harasses MFA fighter Ronda Roussey and she doesn't kill him smh the patriarchy.
23. Lloyd is in Ari's phone as "Gaysian." No wonder it takes place so soon after the series, the jokes are stuck in 2011.
24. Lloyd wants Ari to give him away at his wedding. Ari refuses, so I'm assuming the movie ends with him actually doing just that!
25. Billy Bob Thornton and Haley Joel Osment looking... um... quite different than when he saw dead people, are the investors for the movie. They talk in horrible Texas accents and look like villains from Dallas.

Half Of the Team That Changed Horror Is Now Flying Solo

0

Horror duo Leigh Whannell and James Wan found massive success with Saw and Insidious. Now Whannell is continuing the Insidious series without his frequent collaborator at his side.

More than a decade ago, Saw, directed by James Wan and written by and starring Leigh Whannell, became one of the most profitable horror movies of all time. Now, after writing two more Saw movies and two films of a second franchise, Insidious, Whannell is making his directorial debut with Insidious: Chapter 3.

"Filmmaking seems to me to be a lot like skydiving. You can watch a bunch of videos about skydiving. You can learn the theory of it. But you don't really know what it's like until you jump out of that plane," Whannell told BuzzFeed News at L.A.'s iconic Chateau Marmont, where he wrote most of the third Insidious film. "I don't know that I was ready at all."

It's a big change for Whannell: Insidious: Chapter 3 not only marks his first time as a director, but also his separation from Wan, whom he met in film school in their native Australia. They embarked on a joint career that yielded Saw (Wan directed Saw and co-wrote the story of Saw and Saw III with Whannell, who wrote and starred in the first three) and Insidious (written by Whannell, with a story assist from Wan, who directed the first two). Wan has moved on to big-budget studio films, like Furious 7 and the upcoming Aquaman. And although he was a producer on Insidious 3, Wan was "pretty hands-off," which had its advantages and disadvantages for first-time director Whannell.

"My identity was so wrapped up in being one-half of the Wan-Whannell duo, and I realized I didn't know who I was without James," Whannell said. "He was doing Furious 7 at the time, which was kind of a hurricane of a production, with all this tumultuous activity that happened and the tragedy with Paul Walker, which stopped production. So he was right in the eye of that storm, and I think he really helped by what he didn't do. He didn't lean over my shoulder and tell me to do this, that. He didn't give me notes or tell me to change things."

At the same time, Whannell acknowledged that working without Wan at his side was at times a difficult change. "Things like that always turn out to be the events in your life that kind of shove you forward," he said. "It's like when you first move out of home and you have your own apartment, and you're thinking, Oh my god, this is so difficult. And then you learn the ropes and you sort of get shoved up the evolutionary ladder a little bit.

"It's been an ever-evolving journey. This is my first time, and I'm gonna have to learn by making mistakes."

Focus Features

Whannell's interest in horror began at a young age: While his friends were extolling the virtues of Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark, he was haunted by Jaws. And that particular genre had its practical advantages for Whannell when he and Wan were looking to make their first feature after film school. Once the duo realized that no one was particularly interested in blindly funding their work, they sought out to create something on their own.

"We started trying to calculate how much money you could make a film for at the absolute base level," Whannell said. "Horror is probably the only genre where a bigger budget doesn't really help. 'Cause what are you gonna do with that extra money? Are you gonna create a special effects sequence where a city gets knocked down, like something out of Man of Steel? … It's a very friendly genre to first-time filmmakers."

But even working within horror, Whannell and Wan had to look for ways to cut costs. Their first movie had to be very contained — the film equivalent of television's "bottle episodes" that lower the budget by taking place all in one room. It was in those early brainstorming sessions that they stumbled on the idea for Saw.

While the sequels to the 2004 film upped the ante on gore and world expansion, Saw itself is a small movie — the story of two men, Lawrence Gordon (Cary Elwes) and Adam Stanheight (Whannell), who find themselves chained up in a basement with instructions that one must kill the other in order to escape.

"Essentially, Saw is the result of us pushing ourselves to come up with this movie," Whannell said. "I always loved the story. There was something about that story for Saw, as I was writing it, that gave me confidence — not so much confidence that it would be a hit movie, but confidence that people would like it."

And they did. Saw turned out to be a massive success, grossing more than $100 million worldwide, birthing a franchise, and becoming a part of the pop culture lexicon. Given the low expectations Whannell and Wan had, Saw's staggering popularity was a thrilling surprise.

"I knew that people would respond to it — I just didn't think it would happen on that level," Whannell admitted. "I'm still, to this day, pretty chuffed, pretty happy, that we made a film that impacted popular culture, to the point where journalists had to think up a term to describe the movie."

“Where are all the clothes for grown-ups?”

Miles Willis / Getty Images

1. Ah Topshop, my old friend. Whatcha got for me today?
2. Ugh, so busy.
3. Are these girls even shopping or are they just purposefully obstructing my access to denim?
4. This isn't a fictional mall! This isn't 1995! Go to Starbucks where you belong.
5. Man, they probably weren't even born in 1995.
6. Speaking of 1995, pretty sure that's when I last wore a button-down suede mini skirt just like this one.
7. I loved that skirt.
8. Snogged a boy at the school disco in that skirt.
9. Mmm, nice heavy suede that, well lined, impressive.
10. Dry clean only though.
11. Maybe I'm enough of an adult for dry-clean only clothes…
12. Hang on, is that a ribbed T-shirt?
13. Everything's taken a distinct turn for the mid-90s in here.
14. God, is the mid-90s actually retro now? I was already shopping at Topshop in the mid-90s!
15. Totally bought half of this before.
16. "This collection was inspired by Candida Doyle of Pulp."
17. Bet these youths don't even know who she is.
18. What a woman.
19. OK, where's the stuff that won't make me look like a walking #tbt?
20. Why are there so many playsuits?
21. Hmmm, maybe I've wandered into the playsuit section…
22. Actually I think this whole shop might just be a playsuit section.
23. When did playsuits become such a big deal anyway?
24. Who's got time to get fully undressed every time they need a wee.
25. You could hardly wear it to work.
26. "Oh this? Yeah, that's my arse – so er, when do you need that report by?"
27. Ooh, these silk camis are nice.
28. That'd be nice with my black tailored trousers and some ballet flats.
29. Chic. Like Audrey Hepburn at the office.
30. Hang on, these aren't real silk, they're polyester.
31. Ugh, Audrey was never sweaty.
32. Wonder if Whistles has any nice silk camis…
33. Yes, makeup!
34. Topshop makeup is so good. And so cheap!
35. Why didn't they have this next level selection of glitter nail varnish when I was a teenager?
36. What are all these pearly-looking sticks? Are those sparkly face-stickers?
37. Oh it's "Festival" makeup.
38. Lol being arsed to wear makeup at a festival.
39. Bit of sunscreen and a pair of sunglasses will do me fine thanks.
40. Speaking of festivals it looks like Burning Man has shit itself in here.
41. So. Many. Flower. Crowns.
42. Imagine actually trying to take yourself seriously in a flower crown.
43. Surrounded by a load of other bellends wearing flower crowns.
44. Yep, there's the politically incorrect feather garments.
45. Why are people still making these things?
46. Couldn't even dry-clean a feather waistcoat.
47. Good luck if you spill WKD on that.
48. Ahh, it's a Kylie and Kendall Jenner collection.
49. Reigning queens of Coachella.
50. The only festival where people spend more time looking at the clothes than they do the bands.
51. Seriously, where are the clothes for grown-ups?!
52. I just want something that doesn't have suede fringing, feathers, sequins or superfluous rips.
53. Why is it so hard to find anything that doesn't look like a wardrobe reject from "Almost Famous"?
54. Yes, Boutique – this is where the good stuff is.
55. Mmm, that cream silk wrap blouse is dreamy.
56. (Note to self, never drink red wine in it if you buy).
57. Totally looks like something Victoria Beckham would wear.
58. Topshop has basically been keeping me in things that look like Victoria Beckham might wear them since she was an Adams.
59. Strappy black dresses when they were selling 90s clothes because it was actually the 90s.
60. Chic tailored things that don't cost as much as her actual clothes now.
61. The less said about the distressed denim and jewell-encrusted vests in the mid 00s the better.
62. For both of us.
63. Wonder if VB has ever bought a pair of Baxters…
64. I could totally do with a black pair actually.
65. Topshop should get a Nobel prize for services to jeans for designing those Baxters.
66. Kate Moss could accept it for them in her classic light grey pair.
67. Man, what jeans did any of us wear before 2005?
68. *Shudder* Bootcuts *shudder*.
69. OMG I have to have those high-waisted shorts.
70. They would look so good with a shirt.
71. Hmmm, the are certainly short though.
72. Can I still get away with wearing shorts that short?
73. I'm more Kardashian age than Jenner age after all.
74. What would Kim do?
75. Kim's not one for subtlety, is she?
76. I think she'd want me to have them.
77. you're never too old to look good after all…
78. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

33 Of The Greatest Tony Performances Of All Time

Or at least the ones since they started airing it on national TV in 1967. Sorry, Ethel Merman!

Musical theater geeks of all generations come together one Sunday each June to celebrate the best of the best on Broadway. The greatest part of the night is obviously the performances from that year's Best Musical and Best Musical Revival nominees. Here are the most showstopping moments in Tony Awards history.

"Run, Freedom, Run!" from Urinetown (2002):

This cute, clever, concept musical turned theater clichés on their heads and selected their best number to perform at the 2002 Tonys. Bonus points if you can spot Sutton Foster's brother!

youtube.com

"That's My New Philosophy" from the revival of You're a Good Man Charlie Brown (1999):

This revival won divine diva Kristin Chenoweth her first Tony and put her on the road to her career-defining role, Glinda the Good in Wicked. "It's good to see me, isn't it?" Yes, Kristin, it is.

"She Likes Basketball"/"Turkey Lurkey Time" from Promises, Promises (1969):

What is this show? Even after seeing it revived in 2010 (with Sean Hayes), the answer is unclear. But this performance is pitch-perfect as a late '60s song and dance number.

A Longtime Hawaiian Activist Defends "Aloha" Amid Race-Based Backlash

0
0

Makapu'u, May 1994

John Kirkley

HONOLULU — Panned internally long before it even saw the light of day, Cameron Crowe's latest movie Aloha — a film set in Hawaii that cast a white actress to play a Chinese-Hawaiian pilot — ignited a fresh round of negative reaction after it debuted over the weekend.

Accusations of white-washing got so loud that Crowe on Tuesday issued what he called a “heart-felt apology,” but for the local Hawaiian activist and community leader who actually took part in the film, none was needed.

Wearing rubber slippers, a Quicksilver T-shirt, and a black fanny pack, Dennis "Bumpy" Kanahele looked out over the 45-acre sanctuary that was used as a location in the film as he recalled his community’s years-long struggle to reclaim their sovereignty.

All the criticism over the movie, he said, was frustrating, given the megaphone platform Crowe had afforded the Hawaiian rights movement — an inclusion that came with the director allowing the 60-year-old to appear in the film as himself.

“This big screen thing is really going to be helpful for us," Kanahele told BuzzFeed News, noting that Crowe’s history with the Village goes back 10 years. “That’s why I couldn’t understand why everyone is so upset, he has a relationship with us.”

Aloha follows military contractor Brian Gilcrest (Bradley Cooper), who returns to the Hawaiian islands to fulfill a deal for his evil billionaire boss (Bill Murrary), and finds himself in a love triangle with his ex (Rachel McAdams) and the mixed-race fighter pilot Allison Ng, who was — controversially — played by Emma Stone.

But for Kanahele, that criticism overshadows a more important message in the film. He recalled introducing Crowe to Pu'uhonua O Waimānalo also called the Kingdom, but most often referred to simply as the Village — back in 2005.

“My family, we had a gathering, and they were playing music and having food, and I invited him to stay," Kanahele said of Crowe’s initial visit.

In an email to BuzzFeed News, Crowe said that, “not unlike the movie,” there was a band playing at the Village, and described it as “a magical night."

Makapu'u, May 1994.

John Kirkley

The film crew spent three weeks at the Village, where about 20 small homes have upside-down state flags hanging in their windows, just like in Aloha. The first week was dedicated to building the pavilion where the luau scene is set. The structure was left behind and now sits at the top of the Village.

Kanahele has a cameo in Aloha but he is not really acting he talks in Pidgin in real-life and said he was genuinely pissed off in the scene where he’s negotiating with Gilcrest. He wasn't initially set to play the role Crowe had written based on his experiences in the Village, but the director told BuzzFeed News that Stone and Cooper "fell in love with Bumpy" and so he decided to include him in the film.

Crowe gave Kanahele room within the script to mention the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1893.

"My time with Bumpy made me want to reference his struggle," Crowe said in his email.

Michelle Broder Van Dyke / Via BuzzFeed News

In Aloha, Kanahele wears his own shirt, which reads “Hawaiian by birth” on the front, and “American by force” on the back.

For Kanahele, the shirt means that to avoid violence, Hawaiians have to accept — to an extent — the past: “We are forced to do the things we don’t want to do for the sake of peace."

That said, he's proud of Aloha, "because we can say we are under military occupation — and that’s the truth.”

Michelle Broder Van Dyke / Via BuzzFeed News

Kanahele's history in the Hawaiian rights movement goes back to the late 1980s, when he started occupying on Oahu and trying to help the homeless find places to live.

In 1993, on the 100-year anniversary of the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii, Kanahele returned to occupy Makapu'u, but this time, with 300 people who stayed for 15 months.

Michelle Broder Van Dyke

They built a tent city and used the same gate that now fronts the Village to claim the area. Kanahele was armed with the 1993 “Apology Resolution,” the first time the U.S. government acknowledged the illegal overthrow.

The protests in Makapu'u were part of a Hawaiian rights movement that had started in the 1970s. The first big milestone was the occupation of Kaho'olawe, which the military had used as a testing ground for bombs since the 1940s. The island was eventually transferred to the State of Hawai'i in 1994, and is held in trust for a future Hawaiian sovereign entity.

The story of Kaho'olawe inspired many Hawaiians, and sovereignty movements, including the Nation of Hawai'i and the Hawaiian Kingdom.

Michelle Broder Van Dyke

In 1994, John Waihe'e, the first governor in the state with Hawaiian ancestry, finally intervened in Makapu'u and asked the protesters to vacate in exchange for the 45-acre parcel in Waimānalo for what would eventually be known as the Village.

Kanahele's group signed a lease at a cost of $3,000 a year. Under the terms of the deal, the land would be transferable to a future sovereign Hawaiian nation, if and when it is established.

When the activists first arrived at the Nation of Hawaii, it was overgrown with invasive eucalyptus and albizia trees. They have since reworked the land and grow traditional Hawaiian crops, such as dry and wetland kalo, or taro, and have lined their terraces with ti leaves. They are also experimenting with aquaponics for cultivation that use tilapia and non-native plants, such as cacao.

The community, Kanahele said, has yet to reach its goal of becoming self-sufficient.

Michelle Broder Van Dyke / Via BuzzFeed News

Still, the land is an important resource for helping Hawaiians connect with their history, supporters say.

Brandon Makaawaawa, a relative of Kanahele who also appears as an extra in Aloha, said the Nation of Hawaii has helped him and others learn about traditional practices.

“In Hawaii, we grow up in the Homestead," said Makaawaawa, who grew up in Waimānalo. “We’re not used to growing up in the mountains, and surviving like Hawaiians used to, so this is all new to us too. We’re learning how to plant, how to fish, how to hunt.”

Makaawaawa works regularly in the Village, and his cousins have been teaching him to hunt. He recently trapped and killed a wild boar.

“It was the first time I caught it," he said.

Michelle Broder Van Dyke / Via BuzzFeed News

Rolf Nordahl, the press secretary for the Nation of Hawaii, said he hoped the Village would be used as a blueprint for other sovereignty movements around the world.

The group still has big plans for the Village, which hopes to build a second commercial kitchen to process the agriculture plants that are being grown.

youtube.com

Kanahele, meanwhile, said he has a reality show in the works that is being pitched to multiple networks. He’s excited about the prospect because he said he would mostly get to talk about sovereignty, and get paid to do it.

The 'aina — or land — the community lives on represents the injustices that have happened to the Hawaiian people, Kanahele said, which is why it’s so important for the community to protect it.

“We’re not just protecting this village,” he added. “We stand and protect all national sovereignty.”
