Please enjoy a few of my favourite moments of Matt Mcguire’s fighting scenes with the late great David Carradine, best known for starring in the tv show #kungfu 👊 and the film series #killbill 😍

He was a great actor and martial artist and I was so happy that @therobertcarradine got to have his older brother appear alongside him in this episode of #lizziemcguire.

I must admit when I was young, I did not realize he was his brother until a few years later when I was able to use the Internet and look it up 😅. I mean I was only like 7 years old 🙄

Videos are taken from episode 1.12, ‘Between a Rock and a Bra Place’.

Black Widow #4 OUT TOMORROW ♥️🕷 “Out this #NCBD! BLACK WIDOW #4! By @twisted_twins, @flaviano_arm, @VeronicaGandini, @JoeCaramagna, @MarkFBasso and #JakeThomas Cover by @Clayton_Crain” Years ago, we found a horrible story about a child sex trafficking ring. The acts were unspeakable horrific, the justice system felt like it failed these young people. Stories like this, even if they make the news, are difficult to consume, but if we arm ourselves with knowledge we become informed citizens capable of demanding change. Black Widow was recently killed by an evil Captain Rogers, but that hasn’t slowed her down. Still known as deceased to the general public, Widow makes her way to Madripoor where she discovers a sick red room torture show online called No Restraints Play that preys in children in town. Issues 1-3 have set this world up, end of issue 3 saw Widow caught (?) and put in the hot seat of NRP’s newest torture victim. Nat versus a legion of child killers? There will be gallons of blood. Don’t miss the explosive finale - issue 4/5 out TOMORROW!!! https://www.instagram.com/p/BwmnJQ4FXoh3keZANqjlpA3yuCntCyI6c0FyIM0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13q8z8seuievl

A writing by Jake Thomas whom I hope to befriend.

Jake Thomas 07/06/2021

And then you stumble upon a picture from 10 years ago and you think about how different things are now. You think about the friends you've lost, the friends you've made, the relationships you've had, the family who've passed, the laughs, the tears, the anger, the frustration, the feeling of slamming your head repeatedly against a concrete wall, crying in your parents driveway at 3 am with your best friend about a boy, traveling across the country and waking up in a shady motel in a city whose language you can't speak, your parents' divorce and how you've never fully been able to speak to how much it did impact you and your relationships and trust regardless of how much you put on a face about it, your disdain for and fear of abandonment of your closest, the tragedy of loving and losing, the ways people have used and abused you, the views of your body that apparently determined your personality to the extent that everyone had an opinion about your sexuality, the lack of understanding, the lack of compassion, the self-destructive tendencies when people get "too close". And then.... You think. You think about how much you've changed in this relatively short amount of time. You think about the person you used to be, and how much you'd want to punch them in the face. You think about how different you've become, differences that people seem to appreciate in retrospect because these differences are facets of your personality that people gravitate towards. You think about where you are, where you've been, and wonder where you're going. Sometimes it feels like you're lost, like you have no direction, but then realize that you've always been going in some direction, regardless of how clear or unclear it's been. I'm not spiritual at all, but I do feel like I've either died or killed so many different versions of myself over the years to become this current one, whose time is probably also coming to an end. But it's necessary. I feel something different coming; I feel the culmination of years of dedication to learning and education coming to an end. I feel the other side gradually getting closer and closer. The new friendships, the new experiences, getting myself out of my comfort zone, completely changing how I have been thinking about things, I feel like the next chapter in my life is going to be bigger and better than the past. I'm ready. I'm nostalgic, I'm sad, I'm scared, but I'm ready. I'm ready for new friends and experiences, ready for more love and laughter, ready for more long nights of laughing my ass off at inside jokes, ready to build myself up into the man I can be rather than the man people wanted me to be, ready to continue down my path, ready to know more about who I am, learn more about who I am, and embrace and understand who I am not. Just pass on by, these are the rantings and scribblings of a man thinking about his life, in no uncertain terms.

Thoughts : The Cell (2000)

Back in the early days of this blog, I briefly mentioned The Cell in passing while sharing my thoughts on Fantastic Planet.  This brief mention, however, does not do my feelings towards this film justice... from my initial viewing in theaters up through my recent re-watch in preparation for this blog entry, my enjoyment, devotion and fascination to this film continues to grow.

Dr. Catherine Deane (Jennifer Lopez) is a child psychologist who practices a controversial and forward thinking form of therapy where she neurologically links with her comatose patients in hopes of helping them regain consciousness.  Deane’s latest patient, a young boy named Edward (Colton James) who is suffering from a rare form of viral infection-based schizophrenia, presents a challenge to her and her team, fellow doctors Henry West (Dylan Baker) and Miriam Kent (Mariannne Jean-Baptiste).  The pressure is multiplied by Edward’s parents, who are funding the project, due to their demands for results and threats of pulling Edward from the project.  Meanwhile, a serial killer named Carl Rudolph Stargher (Vince D’Onofrio) is leading Special Agent Peter Novak (Vince Vaughn) and his team on a frustratingly wild goose chase, having just disposed of his sixth victim and kidnapped Julia Hickson (Tara Subkoff), his potential seventh, in rapid succession.  Novak and his team catch a break by recovering paint samples and dog hairs from the scene of the sixth victim’s disposal, but by the time they reach Stargher, he has fallen victim to the very same schizophrenic-based coma that Edward suffers from.  In an act of desperation, Stargher is taken to Dr. Deane’s laboratory with the hopes that her neurological linking treatment can uncover the location of Hickson before she becomes the latest victim, but the process quickly turns into a psycho-surreal nightmare for Deane, Novak and all parties involved.

As someone who is not only fascinated with the complexity of the human mind, but fascinated with true crime as well, a film like The Cell is a perfect intersection of these two elements.  The depravity of Stargher’s twisted methods are still shocking 20 years later, and immediately put the viewer in the shoes of our multiple protagonists by giving us a fly on the wall perspective to his sick madness.  Focusing in on the psychological and physiological quandaries of being unable to differentiate imagination from reality, as well as the theoretical dangers of inviting the unknown into your mind, are grounds for high drama and tension.  Tarsem Singh’s ability to include symbolism that alludes to both the human psyche and other films also play well, not to mention the warped representations of key clues that mirror reality.

For anyone who appreciates production design, this film is a playground of powerful visual elements.  From the ‘fileted body’ suits used to house those taking place in the process, to the transition from reality into the mind, even down to Stargher’s home and dungeon, there is rarely a dull visual environment presented to the viewer.  I do think that the case could have been solved prior to Novak diving into Stargher’s psyche, as it seemed that seeing the company logo in Stargher’s head suddenly reminded him that you could track down purchase histories, but honestly that’s just me splitting hairs... and it would’ve robbed us of some classic Vince Vaughn being Vince Vaughn moments while he is on Stargher’s operating table.  In all honesty, you could mute this film and be blown away by the set design, costuming and emotion that radiates off of the faces of the actors.  The visual representation of Stargher’s victims that Dr. Deane encounters on her first trip into his mind will forever haunt me.

Jennifer Lopez did a good job of balancing her character between mother/protector and professional therapist, and really allowed her thought process to resonate through her facial expressions.  Vincent D’Onofrio’s performance is minimal in terms of dialogue, but he puts on a true masterclass in terms of movement and blocking, especially as the idealized Godlike version of himself that inhabits the dream world.  Vince Vaughn allows himself room for a grounded and nuanced performance, specifically by using the comedic edge he normally exudes as inner turmoil and frustration that guides his devoted passion to catch Stargher.  Dylan Baker and Marianne Jean-Baptiste not only play well off of one another in their role as a medical team, but allow their concerns and fears to stand in as surrogate for that of the audience.  Vaughn is surrounded by star character actors that completely engulf themselves in their special agent roles, especially Jake Weber and Dean Norris, while James Gammon plays the grizzled veteran without falling into trope territory.  Jake Thomas is surprisingly confident for such a young actor placed in such fantastic realms, and it’s the way that he owns his space but shows his fear that endears him with the viewing audience.  Tara Subkoff also does a lot with a little, with her role as the captive easily setting her up for a one-note performance, but her acting choices bucking against that and making the audience buy into her danger.  Appearances by Catheriene Sutherland, Colton James, Musetta Vander, Patrick Bauchau, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Lauri Johnson, Kim Chizevsky-Nicholls and Gareth Williams round out the cast.

For those unfamiliar with this film, or for fans of films like Inception, The Cell is a mind-bending punch in the gut in all the most enjoyable ways.  The ideas that are presented and executed provide discussion topics that last long after the film has ended, and the visuals burn themselves into the memory quite easily.

Lindsey Graham Received Campaign Donations From Firm Tied To Russian Oligarch - The Intellectualist

GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham received $800,000 from a Ukrainian-born oligarch with ties to two Putin-linked oligarchs. byJakeThomas 20 hrs GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham received $800,000 from a Ukrainian-born oligarch with ties to two Putin-linked oligarchs. As President Donald Trump appears to sink deeper into legal trouble and special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation pushes forward, the relative silence of congressional Republicans becomes increasingly difficult to ignore. But apart from the obvious reasons conservative lawmakers might steer clear of commenting on Trump’s situation — party loyalty and fear of inviting a presidential Twitter attack come to mind — it is worth remembering that several noteworthy Republicans have Russia links as well. South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham is one such lawmaker. The Dallas Morning News reported last year that Graham was one of several Republican politicians to receive contributions from “a Ukrainian-born oligarch who is the business partner of two of Russian president Vladimir Putin's favorite oligarchs and a Russian government bank.” During the last election, Ukrainian-born billionaire Leonard "Len" Blavatnik $6.35 million to Republican candidates and and incumbent senators, using two holding companies, Access Industries and AI Altep Holdings. Graham received $800,000 of that money. Len Blavatnik, considered to be one of the richest men in Great Britain, holds dual citizenship in the U.S. and the U.K. He is known for his business savvy and generous philanthropy, but not without controversy. … Blavatnik's relationships with Russian oligarchs close to Putin, particularly Oleg Deripaska, should be worrisome for Trump and the six GOP leaders who took Blavatnik's money during the 2016 presidential campaign. Lucky for them no one has noticed. Yet. Deripaska founded RUSAL, the second largest aluminum country in the world, and until earlier this year, he was the majority owner. In an agreement struck with the U.S. Treasury Department following financial difficulties due to Deripaska’s placement on the U.S. sanctions list, the billionaire stepped down as director and pledged to reduce his ownership stake to less than 50 percent. According to The Dallas Morning News, Blavatnik owns a significant stake in the company as well and served on its Board until just two days after Trump was elected president.

Episode 1.16 wasn't just about Lizzie's obsession with her environmentally-focused 🌲 volunteer projects but it's also about Matt' obsession with the power he gets as Hall Monitor 🚫🚯 This video contains the moments when they both went way overboard with their own obsessions, which causes them both to be sent home from school early 🕑 Umm, why wasn't this a punishment back when I was in school many years ago? This would've given me incentive to act up in front of teachers lol 😂😂😂 #lizziemcguire #disneychannel #disney #hilaryduff #jakethomas #obsession #senthomefromschool #punishment #schoolpunishment #hallmonitor #volunteerprojects #earlydisneychannel #earlydisney https://www.instagram.com/p/B37XVmqnR-l/?igshid=s38mpc38qrv1
