Milo was angy, to begin with...
Everyone had a special outfit, except him.
Davey's tux made him look like 007.
Asher's tuxedo t-shirt had everyone smiling.
Babe and Angel looked amazing, too.
But poor Milo just looked like a sad male model moping around the wedding in his best suit and gold chains. Asher and David noticed that Milo was angys.
They took him into the dressing room and demanding he either tell them what was wrong or get the fuck over it. it was their wedding day after all. He finally confessed. "My ensemble is only hot. It's not special. You guys look like great." Milo kicked the ground. Davey and Asher looked at each other and nodded once, knowing exactly what the other was thinking. Later that day, all three woof boys were smiling, but Milo had the biggest smile of all, finally wearing his crown as Short King Royalty.

ACTING MISSION 020
SCHEDULE TYPE: TRIMESTER ( PART 1 OUT OF 1 ) SCHEDULE RESTRICTIONS: Cannot be paired with another trimester schedule, unless stated otherwise. for reference as to whether your muse is eligible for this event, please click over HERE.
all of the actors are called to a meeting with their managers, BYUN MIDO, HAN YOOHWA, KIM DONGSUN, and SEO HEEJUNG. not wanting to waste any time, the managers begin going through everything that will be happening in the new term.
DORMS
HEEJUNG begins to tells them the rules and information regarding housing, “in the past terms, we’ve allowed everyone who has joined legacy agency the option to stay in dorms or find their own place. however, due to the incident that happened a few months ago and how our bosses have been telling us to be ever so more watchful towards all of you, we’ve changed our rules. similar to last term, every person who joins the subsidiary will stay in the dorms for one term. if you have been under probation before, then that will last two terms — one for the term where you were under probation and another to follow every new person that joins us.”
“for the ones that have gone through one term in this path without any warnings, punishments, or scandals during that time, they will be given the option to live offsite. those of you confirmed to stay will be able to move into your new dorms starting from today. otherwise, for those of you who have chosen to stay in your own place, you will need to pack up and leave your current dorms starting from today as well. and just like AECHA has said in the past, just because you aren’t under our watch 24/7 anymore does not mean that you can go crazy. if we hear of any inappropriate behavior, you will be immediately brought back to the dorms.” DONGSUN looks at each one of the actors, making sure that they know and are aware of the new dorm changes.
SNS
HEEJUNG stated, “sns is important for exposure for our actors. however, it’s not absolutely imperative, so the rules haven’t changed. you’ll be permitted a PUBLIC INDIVIDUAL INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT after meeting certain conditions. first, you must have completed a full trimester in this path and second, you must have at least 6 posts on the legacy entertainment account already. this just gives us comfort that you know what is or isn’t appropriate. for those of you who are eligible for an account, the information will be provided to you shortly. again, as with the dorms, this privilege can be taken away if you decide to do some funny business.”
DEBUT CONTRACT
“now we’re almost done with the basics, but there’s one legal matter that we have to cover right now.” HEEJUNG turns to look at YOOHWA and MIDO, who is giving the contracts to some of the actors. “please read and review through the new terms and conditions. once you are done, sign and return the contract to me or DONGSUN as soon as possible. it doesn’t have to be done right now, but the sooner the better because your modeling career will be starting soon and we want to make sure this is done in a seamless manner.”
( this is just an ic note, there is no need to submit this ooc )
FANSITE ( OPEN EVENT 6 ) & BIRTHDAY ( OPEN EVENT 007 )
for the ones that have joined the path, they will be eligible to participate in OPEN EVENT 6, where they can post content for the fansites and OPEN EVENT 7, where they can prepare their birthday set! more information about this can be found in their respective posts.
PROJECTS AKA & SD UPDATE
information for those two projects can be found in their respective posts! however, the managers will mention that due to the number of people who auditioned for PROJECT SD, BAE HEEJIN can participate in that project in an ENSEMBLE role if she chooses to do so ( please message the main before OCTOBER 19, 2024 11:59PM EDT if you are interested )!
BLACK BANQUET UPDATE
the movie will be released on NOVEMBER 29. to celebrate and promote ‘black banquet’, the cast members ( HAEMIN, HYUNSOO, JIEUN, JINO, SEONA, YEIN ) will be having a press conference and premiere night on NOVEMBER 25 solely for the press and a couple of the lucky fans. during the press conference, the cast will answer some of the questions regarding their thoughts about the movie and what the audience can expect from it. later on that day, they will then be invited to attend the premiere where they will be walking the red carpet and watch the movie with some of the audiences for the first time.
THE HIDDEN ENEMY MUSICAL UPDATE
due to the success of the musical, both MINKYU and AERI are invited to reprise their roles and do THREE special showings in TOKYO to start off the next musical production. the showings will be happening sometime during Q1 2025, but because they will be in JAPAN and film some promotional content for the musical, both of them are expected to take some JAPANESE workshops throughout Q4. since NOVA will be attending JAPANESE workshops as well, the two actors can join them whenever their schedules intersect.
to receive additional rewards for this, both MINKYU and AERI must each reach AT LEAST 25 JAPANESE before DECEMBER 21, 2024 11:59PM EST. they can get these points from any events, including this career mission.
LGC AGENCY x KOREA CINEMA TODAY MAGAZINE COLLABORATION
“for the past few years, magazines usually approach LGC AGENCY near the end of the year for opportunities to feature all of our ACTORS and MODELS. for this year, it’ll be a special one in that KOREA CINEMA TODAY wanted to create a magazine spread featuring some of the highest-grossing domestic films in south korea and what better way than to combine the strengths that the ACTORS and MODELS have?” HEEJUNG suggested before she signaled MIDO and YOOHWA to let each of the actors pick a piece of paper from a box.
the female manager continued on, “as each of you will see, you will be randomly picking the FILM assigned to you. anyone who shares the same one as you will be in the same group. however, since i did say that you will be working with the MODELS, they will be choosing randomly where they will go to so that there should be seven groups, with one team having ONE model and TWO or THREE actors. starting from today and until the end of NOVEMBER, each group will be having their own photoshoot inspired by the film chosen along with reenacting and recording some of the most iconic scenes from the movies, which will be posted on lgc’s youtube channel.”
here are the team arrangements and their assigned films ( listed in parenthesis is when the film was released ):
A WEREWOLF BOY ( 2012 ) – BAE HEEJIN, KIM JINSEO, PARK SUJIN
EXIT ( 2019 ) – AHN YEIN, KIM JINYOUNG, NAM GYURI
EXTREME JOB ( 2019 ) – HAN SEUNGHYUN, JO EUNWOO, KIM CHERRY
MIRACLE IN CELL NO. 7 ( 2013 ) – CHO MINKYU, HAN HYUNHEE, MOON JINO
PARASITE ( 2019 ) – BAE SOJIN, LIM SANGHYUN, SHIN JIEUN
SUNNY ( 2011 ) – BAEK SEONA, MOON JIAH, YANG AERI
TRAIN TO BUSAN ( 2016 ) – HAN JISOO, HAN ROWON, LEE HYUNSOO, YOO HAEMIN
since some of the MODELS have experience with creative direction, they will take on the leader role during the photoshoots. this means that they’ll have some control with how the photoshoot should look like ( along with outfits for everyone involved and setting ideas ) but a lot of the final say will go to the main creative director who works for KOREA CINEMA TODAY. to help with the models, any ACTORS who have over 230 MODELING at the time of this post can contribute to the group’s photoshoot aspect. for locations, due to everyone’s busy schedules, they will have to be done in places that are within close distance and can complete the photoshoot and filming in 1-2 days.
on the other hand, all of the ACTORS in each of the groups will be sharing the leader role during the filming of the iconic scenes ( around 2-4 scenes, depending on how long each scene is ). any MODELS who have over 230 ACTING at the time of this post can contribute to the scenes selected for the video. these videos will last around 15 minutes each and the group will discuss which scenes they would want to reenact ( they will also be provided a copy of the movie’s original script, so that they know the exact lines and details when filming ).
there will also be some of the LGC staff members recording the behind the scene moments with this collaboration and posted on LGC’s youtube channel ( which will be scheduled later on after the magazine spread and videos have been released ). because of this, no one who has a PERSONAL CHANNEL may take behind the scene clips of this experience.
the magazine will be released on JANUARY 1 for the JANUARY 2025 issue and the videos will be released starting from JANUARY 1-7. if you wish to mention this gig in a monthly sns post or fansite, you can do so during JANUARY.
Q4 SCHEDULES
as a disclaimer, not all of the variety show appearances have been included here so if your muse appeared in one of the variety shows ( intimate note, lgc style s2, date lottery, star top pet care ) and it’s not listed before, most likely it will be in the Q1 schedules. in addition to that, year end ceremonies are not added in here at the moment.

'A luminary from Oppenheimer, who thoroughly enjoyed being part of this summer’s blockbuster, is now shifting his gaze beyond his Oppenheimer role. He’s set his sights on a coveted future aspiration: portraying a villain in a James Bond movie. He is none other than David Dastmalchian, who played William Borden in Oppenheimer.
...a proposal put forth by David Dastmalchian has caught everyone’s attention.
Does David Dastmalchian Have What It Takes To Be A Bond Villain
...David Dastmalchian stands out as an actor who consistently delivers an unsettling aura. His knack for inducing chills is well-established (just consider his role in Prisoners, where his eerie portrayal was impeccably executed).
“Whoever is reading this, take it as a sign. You were meant to be reading this line at this moment as you’re thinking about the future of what you guys are doing with the franchise,” Dastmalchian told Slashfilm. “Trust me when I say that I can bring something to an enemy of 007, whether he or she or they be played in a way that no one has ever seen Bond brought to life before, which is of course the way that you guys always do it. I think there’s no one to push Bond to the limits of their capabilities the way that I could, and I would love to do it. So there’s my pitch to them. I can’t wait for them to read this. And then I will owe you when or if I ever get that role, I guess 10%.”
Those who have witnessed Dastmalchian’s performances in his more sinister roles would readily acknowledge his ability to effortlessly embody a disconcerting Bond adversary. While the future remains uncertain, the prospect of this casting choice receives a resounding endorsement based on his track record.
David Dastmalchian Has Previously Worked With Christopher Nolan
Renowned for his intimate connections with his cast, Christopher Nolan frequently exhibits his penchant for casting familiar faces across multiple projects. This practice has solidified his renown for cultivating a cooperative and encouraging creative atmosphere. Therefore, it’s entirely expected that, for his inaugural venture into biographical filmmaking, the director has curated a remarkable ensemble of performers who have previously shared his cinematic journey.
David Dastmalchian’s acting repertoire spans a wide spectrum. It includes appearances on television in iconic productions like The Dark Knight trilogy, as well as lead roles in notable works like Blade Runner 2049 and The Suicide Squad. Prior to his portrayal of William L. Borden in Oppenheimer, Dastmalchian had the opportunity to collaborate with Nolan in The Dark Knight, where he played one of the Joker’s henchmen.'

Love all this discussion RE: acting/movies/agents, etc.
Way more fun (for me) than the fandom fighting.
Anyways, some random thoughts w/respect to Mr. Evans. The discussion about ensemble casting has been done, but one thing that struck me during the talk about Jeremy Strong is just how many talented actors in that general age group exist. I'll go with the around mid thirties all the way up to the getting a little crispy Leo D. (I'm kidding sort of with him--he's still 'young' per se, but I wish Scorsese had cast a younger actor in Killers of the Flower Moon). Fifty isn't really 'old' but it starts to show differently on people's physical form and thus IMO begins to change one's script offers. I digress.
So, in that mid-thirties to fifty cohort, think of some of the best actors world-wide and it's a larger group than in the past. Note: no scientific research was done to back up that claim. Some of that may be due to the Biz (FINALLY) very slowly beginning to bring in more diversity (keep going because you're not there yet, studios) and some of it could perhaps be to something discussed on your blog earlier-- the streaming networks?
Streaming has opened up eyes to more shows (along with socials like X/insta), IMO and despite the negatives to streaming, some actors may perhaps gain a bit of a following due to a show and that makes them a little more competitive when names are tossed around the table. That used to happen in the days of my grandparents (like the soap opera/or themed tv large cast shows) but it just seems like there's MORE now (almost too much more but again I digress).
Case in point--Regé-Jean Page is a fine enough actor, but w/o Bridgerton I wonder if he'd have made as quick a leap into other high profile discussions (like 007). I have to wonder if streaming has helped actors who have talent but being that it's so hard to get one's foot in the door having a vehicle helps to just plow through it because the viewers are behind the wheel saying, "hey pay attention to this guy, he's good!"
To me, for Chris that means that regardless of awards interest, anytime there is a role, there is a range of people whose names are also being considered--from Benedict Cumberbatch and the rest of the UK crowd to the homegrown talent like Austin Butler (younger but I'll hedge on him) to Lewis Pullman to Jake Gyllenhaal to the two Ryans among others. It's a tough field and always has been, but the 'relegation' tier between film and it's A list B list and television has been blurred more than in the past. Now you have Eddie Redmayne starring in not only the FB series and Oscar nominated roles in film, but once again appearing in the film/streaming category with The Good Nurse. If you're a solid talent, then you might have a miss here and there, but too many strikes at the plate and you may get sent to the minors. It's just my opinion and sure I don't know what the man thinks, but it's his life and I'm a fan of film and actors/actresses so I'll give most anything a view, regardless of critics/general sentiment. I sat through Aloha recently because I had missed it the first go round and I'm a fan of Emma Stone but yeah, that was a hot mess of a plot that was.
Sorry for the length. TLDR: Chris is in a competitive business and he'll have to figure out what he wants if he hasn't done so already (not like I have the man in my contacts) and go from there.
*Side note: I almost ended up with an entire paragraph on the MCU but that really deserves its own discussion and I've clogged up your ask box enough with this soapbox oratory on Chris and the competition.
This is actually a very interesting take, thank you! 🧜🏻♀️

Artist’s Blog #135 - Firepower (1979)
Unpacking Firepower: An Elusive Plot
I want to be upfront; you shouldn’t expect much from my blog on Firepower from 1979. While I enjoyed the movie, it was challenging to follow. Now, weeks after watching it, the film remains a blur to me, with only a few standout moments. I'll highlight those moments here. In the following paragraphs, I’ll give a brief overview of the story involving a mercenary hired by the police to capture an elusive and successful criminal. Read on for my thoughts on Firepower.
OJ Simpson: The Juice in Firepower
One of the most unexpected aspects of Firepower, at least to me, is the appearance of OJ Simpson. Yes, “The Juice” was not just a football player and later a notorious figure, but also an actor. In this film, he portrays a criminal, which feels ironic given his real-life infamy. Surprisingly, OJ does a commendable job in this role. It seems he just needed to act naturally, or perhaps just be himself. Anyway, he delivered a solid performance. While I knew of OJ's football career, I had no idea he dabbled in acting, so seeing him in this capacity caught me off guard. The man certainly had talent, irrespective of his off-screen controversies.
Sophia Loren: Fashion Icon in Firepower
Sophia Loren also stars in Firepower. The first time I heard her name was on Sanford and Son. In an episode titled “Pot Luck,” a scammer mentions her as a potential buyer for a piece of antique furniture, sight unseen. I understand she was a sex symbol of her era, but I just don’t see it. I did, however, appreciate some of her outfits. At one point, Loren wears an orange dress paired with purple shoes and a neckerchief—an ensemble that screams 70s fashion, which, of course, I loved. Check out this look in the photos below.
Scenic Locations and Unique Filming in Firepower
Firepower was filmed in diverse locations, including Antigua and Barbuda, Florida, and several other places. The film showcases a lot of interesting scenery, with a significant portion of the story centered around the ultra-wealthy. As a result, you see many mansions, each boasting 70s high-end décor. There's a particularly memorable scene where a bulldozer plows through a mansion, demolishing it room by room. I’m certain they didn’t destroy a real house for this movie. Beautiful beaches, mini yachts, and a variety of foreign cars, including some unique police vehicles, frequently appear. You can see more of these details here.
Firepower: The Bond Connection Without Gadgets
Firepower reminded me of old James Bond movies, albeit without the spy gadgets—except for the car bombs in the later scenes. These improvised explosive devices resembled bombs but featured period wristwatches, giving them a spycraft gadget vibe. Much like classic 007 films, the movie is packed with action and peculiar weapons. You can see more of the weaponry used in Firepower here. When it comes to action, Firepower is relentless. The constant action made the story hard to follow, as it often seemed to change direction without much foreshadowing. It was difficult to discern character allegiances, especially in the case of Sophia Loren’s character. While I enjoyed the movie, I found it confusing. For two hours, Firepower kept me engaged, but I won’t be watching it again. Instead, I’ll seek out some old-school 007.
Gruesome Yet Creative: Unique Torture in Firepower
I’ve seen countless brutal scenes in films, often involving over-the-top violence or methods to extract information. If you follow my blogs, you know I frequently watch action-packed films, slasher horrors, and mob dramas where violence is a common interrogation technique. Recently, I learned that some cartels have been feeding people to crocodiles as a form of torture. I can imagine them roughing someone up, suspending them over a pool, and questioning them. I don’t know, and I don’t want to know. But Firepower featured a particularly brutal yet creatively unique method: the main characters douse a man with buckets of blood and then lower him into shark-infested waters. Unsurprisingly, he quickly spills his secrets.
Final Thoughts on Firepower: Action-Packed But Lacking Depth
In closing, I doubt I’ll ever watch Firepower again. While Sophia Loren brought some star power, she didn’t meet my expectations. OJ Simpson was intriguing as an actor, and I enjoyed the firearms, particularly the M1 Carbine in the final scenes. Incidentally, the first assault rifle I ever fired was an M1 Carbine, and I hope to add one to my collection someday. Firepower delivered plenty of action and an intriguing story overall, but it didn’t resonate with me. I recommend it to retro movie fans, action enthusiasts, and James Bond aficionados, but it’s not one I’ll be revisiting.
Got a question for you all—what’s the hype about Sophia Loren? Share your thoughts in the comments! You can support my work by liking and sharing this blog. Don’t forget to follow my art journey on social media, visit my website, and consider purchasing some original art. You can do all of that here. Thanks for your time, and peace.

Le Cinéma et le Blackjack: Des Duos Gagnants à l'Écran
Oyez, oyez, amis cinéphiles et passionnés de blackjack ! Aujourd'hui, on embarque pour une escapade épique aux confins de l'art et du jeu, où les caméras rencontrent les cartes, et où les artistes jouent le tout pour le tout. Préparez-vous à découvrir une sélection de duos gagnants à l'écran : le cinéma et le blackjack. Comme toujours, mettons-nous en mode confort, obligez-vous cette fois-ci à une boisson chaude car on traverse ensemble l'océan Atlantique direction Hollywood Boulevard!
Casino Royale (2006) : Le renouveau du blackjack
Le premier arrêt de notre parcours nous mène vers le visage le plus séducteur du MI6, James Bond. Dans "Casino Royale", le 007 incarné par Daniel Craig nous plonge dans une partie de blackjack intense, où la tension est à son comble. La scène illustre de manière brillante comment le blackjack peut être aussi adrenaline-pure que toute poursuite en voiture ou échange de tir dans un film d'action.
21 (2008) : La réalité plus vraie que nature
Notre deuxième escale est une immersion profonde dans le monde réel du blackjack. Le film "21" est basé sur l'histoire vraie d'un groupe de brillants étudiants du MIT qui ont maîtrisé l'art du comptage de cartes pour pulvériser les casinos. C'est un récit fascinant qui témoigne du pouvoir du blackjack, non seulement comme un jeu, mais aussi comme une expérience humaine.
Rain Man (1988) : Le Blackjack comme élément de révélation
Ensuite, on remonte à la fin des années 80 avec le film "Rain Man". Ici, le blackjack est l'instrument de révélation du génie du personnage incarné par Dustin Hoffman, un autiste savant. La scène où ils raflent les gains au blackjack montre à la fois la puissance et l'humanité cachées derrière chaque jeu de cartes.
Conclusion : Plus qu'un jeu
Mais qu'est-ce que ces films illustrent au final? C'est simple : le blackjack, comme toute autre forme de jeu, est plus qu'un simple passe-temps. C'est un microcosme de la vie elle-même, rempli de risque et de récompense, de triomphe et de tragédie. A travers le prisme du cinéma, le blackjack illustre le triomphe de l'esprit humain, la lutte sans fin pour le succès, mais aussi la brutalité parfois injuste du hasard. J'espère que ce voyage cinématographique vous a plu autant qu'à moi. Restez à l'affût pour plus d'excursions où le jeu et la vie se rencontrent. Au passage, n'oubliez pas votre passion pour le blackjack quand vous vous installez pour votre prochaine soirée cinéma. Vous verrez, c'est une toute autre expérience !
