Selection of cartoons ran by Richard Dupont

"Mr. Cohn testified, he was plagued by Mr. Dupont's threatening telephone calls to himself and to clients as faraway as Acapu lco, Mexico; pranks that included phony advertisements placed in The New York Times and calls to utility companies to try to turn off the electricity and telephones at the law firm , and the distribution of a magazine called Now East at places such as airports, restaurants and nightspots where Mr. Cohn might be present. The magazine's only two issues were devoted to Mr. Cohn and were filled with cartoons depicting him in various homosexual situations."

Me resulta extraño escribir sobre un nuevo álbum de los Rolling Stones en... ¡2023! No sé si fue el exagerado de Nik Cohn (en los 70s- 80s buena parte de la crítica musical lo era) quien escribió que si les quedaba algo de vergüenza se deberían morir en un accidente de avión antes de cumplir los 30 años o una barbaridad semejante. Personalmente me alegro de que sigan vivos, la cuestión es si no se tenían que haber separado hace muchos años, yo mismo he pensado muchas veces que sí. La cosa es que nunca lo hicieron, y siguieron y no pararon. Y aquí están........ Y tienen nuevo disco.

Contra todo pronóstico me ha parecido razonablemente bien "Hackney Diamonds", al menos parte de ese nuevo LP de los otrora "enemigos públicos nº 1", hoy simpáticos octogenarios millonarios. El LP tienta la complicada dualidad- esquizofrenia de compaginar las esencias clásicas de la banda, en ocasiones bordeando el autoplagio ("No Expectations", "I Got The Blues", "Sweet Virginia", "Tumbling Dice", "Start Me Up") con un desesperado intento de continuar manteniéndose jóvenes. Está claro que los Stones jamás van a hacer un disco de "madurez", un "Time Out Of Mind", por mucho que intenten cantar como Bob Dylan (¿?). Los Rolling Stones pretenden ser los eternos adolescentes de Peter Pan. Hasta el final.

Están los ultra clásicos 'rockers' de riff demasiado previsible a estas alturas pero que en un LP "media" suyo los tiene que haber a la fuerza, son su "marca": cosas como el insignificante primer single "Angry"; "Driving Me Too Hard", ésta es mejor pero ya la escuchamos antes, o la que más me ha gustado, el balanceo pillo y "good time" de "Live By The Sword" (en la que tocan Charlie y Bill).

Las baladas, buenoo... correctas y poca cosa más. Lo mejor sea probablemente Keith en "Tell Me Straight". El country blues de "Dreamy Skies", bueno... La épica gospel "Sweet Sounds of Heaven", bueno... "Depending On You", se les fue la mano con el azucarado y relamido arreglo (tíos, esto casi parece James Last...). Son canciones correctas que recuerdan a otras suyas y no son especialmente memorables.

El disco lleva alguna sorpresilla: "Get Close", con rasposas guitarras Faces- "Stay With Me" (buen trabajo, Ronnie); "Bite My Head Off", "punk patricio", cosa de Mick, con bajo distorsionado que crujjjje de Paul McCartney y un acorde final que es un guiño a los Beatles; "Whole Wide World", ligera, popi pero recia y con riff similar a "Five Foot One" de Iggy Pop (el productor del disco Andrew Watt también le produjo), o el vacile de "Mess It Up", pegajosa chuchería disco- rock.

Los R. S. de momento no se mueren - toquemos madera- y mucho menos se separan. Es 2023, llevan juntos 60 años, tienen 80 tacos, y siguen y siguen (duran duran). Han hecho un entretenido - significativo adjetivo- y nada esencial álbum.

From Ron Nyswaner (show creator and writer for Fellow Travelers)

"The AIDS Quilt. I'd been to the quilt in the 90s; had attached the quilt square of someone I loved; was privileged to be asked to read aloud several of the names of those we'd lost. We wanted to be as accurate as possible in depicting the AIDS Quilt display in 1987 and were thrilled when the NAMES Project Foundation offered to lend us some sections of the real quilt for our series finale, including Roy Cohn's real square! They arrived carefully crated with instructions on how to handle -- as sacred objects. The Art Dept. and I had many conversations about Tim's square. I knew I wanted the words "Beyond Measure" - because that's how Tim loved, and the fish symbol for Christianity, the faith that sustained Tim throughout his life. The Art Dept. crew came up with making the square from Tim's actual wardrobe and the quilt that had been lying on his bed on the set. Brilliant. Some of the squares we made for the show didn't have names. So I asked them to put Tomas's name on this one. He was a young man I'd been in love with many years ago. He died at the age of 28, not from AIDS, but from the meth addiction we'd shared. I wrote a book about him (Blue Days Black Nights - we're hoping to get it reprinted soon). He was one of a kind. Richard Doran (on the square behind) was the best friend of a good friend of mine who died too young of AIDS in the 90s."

Jonathan Bailey: never stop stopping.

In the thick of it in Emmy season where Paramount/Showtime have been pushing FELLOW TRAVELERS for Emmy consideration.

While Jonathan and Matt Bomer get the most attention, Roy Cohn portrayer and fresh Tony winner Will Brill (for STEREOPHONIC)

reminds people that Jelanie Alladin who played Hawk's (Bomer) friend Marcus.

Jelani salutes Will's win.

Jonathan is gearing up for JURASSIC WORLD

is he going to fight a velociraptor?

WICKED is in the offing

WHAT ELSE FOR BAILEY

A collab with LOEWE for "a special edition T-shirt celebrates the launch of the actor’s new foundation, The Shameless Fund. For every T-shirt sold, LOEWE will make a donation to the foundation, which is dedicated to forging a world where every LGBTQIA+ person can live authentically, love freely, and thrive without the burdens of discrimination, oppression, or shame."

$235.00 and it does not come with Jonathan Bailey.

The inspo? It's a line Matt Bomer says to milk drinker Tim in FELLOW TRAVELERS.

and it's just been announced that he's returning to the stage for RICHARD II.

T'is a long way from GROOVE HIGH.

Telluride: Don’t Bet Against Sebastian Stan, Jeremy Strong’s Oscar Prospects for Trump Origin Story ‘The Apprentice’

The actors play Donald Trump and Roy Cohn, respectively, in Ali Abbasi's film, which had its North American premiere at the Telluride Film Festival on Saturday night.

By Scott Feinberg

September 1, 2024

The Apprentice, the Donald Trump origin story that everyone in the film community and beyond has been talking and speculating about, had its North American premiere at the Telluride Film Festival’s Galaxy Theatre on Saturday night. The stateside unveiling comes three months after its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival and just days after Briarcliff Entertainment acquired its U.S. distribution rights amid legal threats from the Trump campaign, with plans to release it in theaters on Oct. 11, less than a month before the presidential election.

Interest in the film among those who missed it on the Croisette has been through the roof, to the extent that Telluride’s 10 p.m. Saturday night screening — which was added to the fest’s schedule only a few hours before it took place — attracted a full house of 500 people, with many others turned away. Post-screening reactions were, not unexpectedly, divided. But my own impression from finally seeing the film (I had to return from Cannes before it screened there), and the degree to which the people who like it really like it, is that it should not be counted out of the awards race — particularly its lead actor Sebastian Stan, who plays young Trump, and its supporting actor Jeremy Strong, who plays the man who became his consigliere, Roy Cohn.

The Apprentice was written by Vanity Fair’s longtime Trump chronicler Gabriel Sherman and directed by Border and Holy Spider helmer Ali Abbasi, in his English-language film debut. It covers the period from 1973, when New York businessman Trump, then 27, first crossed paths with power lawyer Cohn, through 1986, shortly after Cohn died (under circumstances that you should not Google if you don’t already know them), and shortly before the publication of The Art of the Deal, the book that helped to elevate Trump from a braggadocious businessman to a full-fledged celebrity.

Trump supporters have assumed that the film would be a Hollywood hit job. That’s partly because most of them have heard only about a brief scene in which Trump is shown forcing himself on his first wife, Ivana (Borat Oscar nominee Maria Bakalova), which, in fact, is based on an accusation that Ivana herself made and then, perhaps under pressure, recanted. But the truth is that The Apprentice — which opens with a disclaimer that a few aspects of its story are imagined, but the vast majority of it is documented — is not some mocking caricature of Trump; it’s actually a portrayal that some Trump haters will find too sympathetic.

It is neither a puff piece nor a hit job, but is, as the Iranian-born Dane Abbasi said during his pre-screening introduction, an outsider-to-America’s effort to hold up a “mirror” to our society and force us to look at it anew. It shows the man who would become president as a young, handsome, charming and promising businessman, as well as someone who was emotionally damaged by his father, steered down a dark path by Cohn, and, consequently, became vain, selfish and occasionally very cruel.

Stan nails Trump’s look, mannerisms and unusual way of speaking — which must have been a daunting assignment, given how many other people have done impersonations of Trump — and Strong captures the dead-eyed look and coiled-snake physicality that Cohn possessed going back to his early years as Joseph McCarthy’s henchman.

One doesn’t have to like a character — or even a film — to appreciate an actor’s guts and abilities. Indeed, in recent years the Academy’s actors branch has nominated numerous impressive portrayals of polarizing people in polarizing movies — among them Megyn Kelly, Richard Nixon, Tammy Faye Bakker, George W. Bush, Lynne Cheney and Dick Cheney, and J.D. Vance’s grandma, none of whom are particular favorites of the Hollywood community.

The Apprentice’s distributor, Briarcliff, is relatively new to the scene, but its chief, Tom Ortenberg, is not new to the awards game, having overseen, during his days at Lionsgate, the campaign for Crash, and during his days at Open Road, the campaign for Spotlight — both of which went on to win the best picture Oscar. He — in partnership with James Shani’s Rich Spirit, which was instrumental in helping free up the film’s domestic rights — has also already retained a number of highly capable awards consultants to help execute a push for The Apprentice. And the talent behind the film is on the ground at Telluride supporting it. So, much like it would be unwise to count out Trump in 2024, I believe that it would be unwise to count out The Apprentice.

THEORETICAL APPROACHES AND TREATMENT MODELS (listed alphabetically)

Practitioners who are unfamiliar with dissociative disorders or to working with DID may prefer to start with texts that are based on their core models or familiar ways of working. Survivors can also expect to come across and be offered a variety of theoretical approaches, summarised below, although none have the monopoly on healing. It is more important that professional help is trauma-informed and based on a collaborative and companionable approach to finding what is best for each individual’s journey.

Attachment-based Psychotherapy – focuses on relationships and bonds between people. It emphasises the developing child’s need to form a healthy emotional bond with at least one primary caregiver for positive social and emotional development.

Creative Therapies – use arts-based models and interventions, including music, drama, movement, art or play, with support from a trained professional. Individuals of all ages may find them helpful because they address issues and support expression without the need to talk or focus on the physical self.

A Therapeutic Treasure Box for Working with Children and Adolescents with Developmental Trauma, (2017), by Karen Treisman

Easy Ego State Interventions: Strategies for Working with Parts, (2016) by Robin Shapiro

Somatic (Body-Oriented) Resources – recognise that trauma and its effects are stored within the body, and cause dysregulation and restriction to movement and/or emotion.

EMDR Eye Movement, Desensitisation & Reprocessing – a psychotherapeutic approach that uses visual, auditory or tactile stimuli bilaterally, (from side-to-side of the body), in a rhythmical pattern, to enable reprocessing of memory and its effects. Care needs to be exercised with RAMCOA survivors, since similar techniques have been used in some survivors’ abuse, and EMDR may prove triggering or breach the therapeutic relationship.
