How Ethan Coen’s Documentary on Jerry Lee Lewis Brought Him Back to Filmmaking
Ethan Coen wasn’t exactly a scholar on Jerry Lee Lewis . You wouldn’t even have called him a fan, really. Sure, the Oscar-winning filmmaker — who, along with his brother Joel, has given the world The Big Lebowski and Barton Fink and Fargo and No Country for Old Men and a dozen other movies that have earned rabid cults and regularly show up on Greatest Movies Ever lists — knew “Whole Lotta Shaking Going On.” Everybody does. He could probably sing a few verses of “Great Balls of Fire” in a karaoke emergency if need be. Press him, and Coen might name you some of his other early hits, like “High School Confidential,” “Breathless,” or “High Heel Sneakers.” And like most folks, he knew about Lewis marrying his 13-year-old cousin and the scandal that ensued, derailing the Killer’s early career and stopping his chart-topping reign dead in his tracks. Coen had also, by his own admission, “left the movie business” and wasn’t necessarily looking to throw himself into another … [Read more...] about How Ethan Coen’s Documentary on Jerry Lee Lewis Brought Him Back to Filmmaking
Manish Naggdev To Get Engaged With Malika Juneja In Goa; Actor Talks About His Wedding Plans
Manish Naggdev and actress-turned-airhostess Malika Juneja had a roka ceremony in July 2020 and are all set to get engaged on June 8 in Goa. According to Times Of India report, the wedding will be held in September. Talking about the wedding and engagement plans, Manish said, "Malika and I had been planning the wedding for the past year. However, it kept getting postponed because of the COVID-19 scare. Since we plan to have an intimate wedding affair, we decided to have an engagement party. I wanted it to be a casual affair and not formal at all. Now, there can't be a better place than Goa for it. The engagement will be during the sunset by the pool. We tried to organise it in Mumbai, but it was turning out to be very expensive. At this stage, we didn't want to spend a lot of money. The idea was to keep it small and have a great party." The actor said that their wedding will not be a grand celebration as they plan to have a simple wedding or it could be a court … [Read more...] about Manish Naggdev To Get Engaged With Malika Juneja In Goa; Actor Talks About His Wedding Plans
Texas’ Gun Culture and Politics Made Dallas Shooting Inevitable
A little over a year ago, a mentally ill Dallas-area man named James Lance Boulware, angry over losing custody of his son, bought an armored van on eBay, marketed as a “Zombie Apocalypse Assault Vehicle.” The van had gun ports under each of its blacked-out windows. Just after midnight one Saturday morning, with a few homemade pipe bombs and a semi-automatic rifle in-hand, he drove the van to the headquarters of the Dallas Police Department and started firing at squad cars. Many hours later, the cops, with the aid of specialized weaponry, disabled the van and killed Boulware, spending much of the day dealing with the explosive devices he left behind. One of the strangest things about Boulware’s bizarre and brief reign of terror in Dallas is how little attention it warranted by that Monday. Having happened in the wee hours of the weekend, it fell into a news hole. And Boulware’s failure to successfully shoot any of the police he targeted made it easier for people to shrug it off. … [Read more...] about Texas’ Gun Culture and Politics Made Dallas Shooting Inevitable
