To avoid political hubbub, the film doesn’t explicitly state where the terrorists are from or why they hate London so damn much. He seems an unassuming movie theater employee (don’t they all?), but in fact, he’s either a terrorist - or a pawn of the real terrorists. The true heroine of Sabotage is “the wife,” Mrs. One could argue that the best thing about the Hays Code is that it guaranteed viewers righteous and emotionally gratifying endings. It’s a gripping thriller with a highly satisfying conclusion. We say Rusk is a fascinating guy, and we stand by it.Ī film from Hitch’s early years, Sabotage is the 1936 film from where we get his “bomb” theory of suspense. Caine found Rusk to be “disgusting,” which is almost comical given that less than a decade later, Caine took on a similar role in Brian DePalma’s Dressed to Kill. Michael Caine was offered the role of Rusk, which he turned down. Although we eventually learn why Hannibal is the way he is, Rusk’s origins remain a mystery. One could argue that he’s a precursor to detached killer Hannibal Lecter. Next time you watch Frenzy, take a long look at the calm savagery of Robert Rusk. Some say that Blaney is the more interesting character - the innocent man on the run. How can you like anyone who frames a friend for their own heinous crimes? Frenzy didn’t sit well with some audiences, especially given that the killer, Robert Rusk, was neither lovable, handsome, nor sympathetic at all. This film comes at the tail end of Hitch’s long directing career, and was released in 1972…well after rumors of Hitch’s own borderline predilections began swirling.

Brigid at the two ends of the house, and Mary in the centre. 'When the fun is at its height it is time to go', runs the Irish proverb and when visitors went each night Peig would draw the ashes over the peat-embers to preserve the fire till morning, reciting her customary prayer: 'I preserve the fire as Christ preserves all. As she talked her hands would be working too a little clap of the palms to cap a phrase, a flash of the thumb over the shoulder to mark a mystery, a hand hushed to mouth for mischief or whispered secrecy. Great artist and wise woman that she was, Peig would at once switch from gravity to gaiety, for she was a light-hearted woman, and her changes of mood and face were like the changes of running water. News was swapped, and the news often gave the lead for the night's subject, death, fairies, weather, crops.' All was grist to the mill, the sayings of the dead and the doings of the living, and Peig, as she warmed to her subject, would illustrate it richly from her repertoire of verse, proverb and story. ‘I wish I had the ability to describe the scene in Peig Sayers's home in Dunquin on a winter's night when the stage was set for the seanchaí’, writes Seosamh Ó Dálaigh to me… ‘When the visitors arrived (for all gathered to the Sayers house when Peig was there to listen to her from supper-time till midnight) the chairs were moved back and the circle increased.

If you’re looking for a simple, crowd pleasing chicken dinner, then this Crispy Cheddar Chicken is the recipe for you. Plus, the leftovers are delicious! Chop up leftover chicken for a salad, or wrap it in a tortilla or make it into a crispy chicken sandwich. I’d go with extra chicken, since I never seem to make enough of this to satisfy everyone. And it helps keep the chicken most and tender. I mean, the crunchy coating is the best part. You do want to really pack on the crumbs though, so you have a nice, thick coating. So consider using extra chicken, or using less crumbs. The recipe as written makes quite a bit of crumb coating–probably enough for 6-8 chicken breasts. Kind of like a deluxe, super crispy chicken tender. This chicken is pretty tasty on it’s own. Or you could just skip the sauce all together. If you really can’t stomach the idea of using canned soup, a nice, homemade chicken gravy would work just fine–or a homemade cheese sauce.

This is monumental, this is something to start a movement,” she said. “This is the conversation that was needed. Liyah Mitchell, a trans woman who appears in the film, told CNN it’s time to tell such stories because “we can’t continue to sweep it under the rug or act like transgender women do not exist, sex workers do not exist of all walks of life.” “But when you make us into superhuman, untouchable, intangible, unreachable people, we experience animosity, you know?” “I’m glad that people want us protected,” she said. Plus, Smith said, she believes that on some levels the trans experience has become “boring to people.” Her desire to tell the stories of trans women who had to turn to sex work came from her own experience of how difficult it can be to find employment in a world that is sometimes far from accepting. If her scenes with the women feel feel incredibly intimate, it’s because Smith related to her subjects as a trans woman herself.Ī former music producer, she says she was blackballed from the industry following her transition. “Koko’s passing really created an even higher urgency to tell this story and to release this film,” Smith added. Sadly, Smith said that were it not Koko Da Doll, “some other trans woman in Atlanta” would have been murdered, which factored into her desire to peel back the curtain on the reality of the lives of those like her – a reality that does include the possibility of violence. “She put on this whole thing of trying to be so tough and having it together, but she was the sweetest, biggest teddy bear in the whole film and her vulnerability, I was just drawn to it.”ĭaniella Carter in "Kokomo City." Magnolia Pictures “When I met Koko she cried within 30 seconds to a minute of us talking,” Smith said. Smith said it’s been “very tough” losing her even though the pair didn’t know each other prior to filming. One of the women who appears in the film, Koko Da Doll, was reportedly shot to death in Atlanta in April. It’s already won two awards at the Sundance Film Festival and made headlines, unfortunately in part due to a tragedy. The film is raw and unflinching, featuring discussions that range from the danger the women often face to the men who are secretly attracted to and patronizing them. Smith’s film does the same for Black transgender sex workers in New York City and Atlanta today. “Paris Is Burning” gave the world a glimpse into the ballroom culture in New York City, shining a spotlight on the LGBTQ+ community of the mid-to-late 1980s there. “I will never forget the first time I saw it, so for people to compare such a film to what I’ve done with my first film, I’m just blown away by that.” ![]() ![]() “I think it’s a tremendous comparison because ‘Paris Is Burning’ was so groundbreaking when it happened,” she recently told CNN. ![]() Smith couldn’t be happier about her new documentary, “Kokomo City,” being compared to 1990’s “Paris Is Burning.” ![]() Dim sum go go chinatown ny11/30/2023 ![]() There’s a new Dimes Deli, and a market coming soon.

Yoga: Offering a vigorous blend of hatha and vinyasa yoga developed by Nevine Michaan of Katonah Yoga, Sky Ting Yoga is a new, light filled studio from fashionable (they’ve been featured in Vogue and Elle) yoga instructors Krissy Jones and Chloe Kernaghan. Zen: Your stroll through Chinatown wouldn’t be complete without a stop at the Mahayana Buddhist Temple, free and open to the public, with a large meditation area and a 16 ft Giant Buddha believed to be the largest Buddha in the city. You’ll find traditional gummies, alongside more exotic lychee and sour plum candies or for those lacking a sweet tooth there’s wasabi and dried shrimp choices as well-all unusual and fun.
