I think Ron Howard did a documentary on Capra, back in the 90s.  Maybe on PBS.

Keep an eye out for Marlon Brando's Granddaughter Amanda, she is very beautiful and she is Brando's Granddaughter so she has connections. Amanda is modeling right now, and I told Lisa Brando to send Amanda to the AADA and to do student films at USC and at the Dodge film school at Chapman, and I recommended a great old school acting coach who was trained in New York with Uta Hagen and Sanford Meisner. I guess Amanda lives in Hollywood. Lisa Brando is an agent, so she will take good care of Amanda.

Salute,

Tony V.

Anne Hathaway looks good at Cannes 2022, nice legs!

Lots of stars attended Cannes this year.

I wish I was there. I attended in 2000, "Dancer in the Dark" starring Bjork won the Palme d Or when I was there.

Cannes is a giant party with movies and great food, it is a cool film festival.

Salute,

Tony V.

Not sure when it happened, but the Buellton Inn in Buellton has decided to lean heavily into a 20 year old movie and has changed its name to the Sideways Inn. While we did not stop there they did advertise a wine tasting at which I hope there was no fucking merlot.

I like going this way - it's better than waiting in line.

Damn. 


Buellton.  Ha! 

Solvang is more my kind of town.  Pinot noir country.  With Danes.  And pastry.  Though more pastry than Danes, these days.

Well, given the distance between the two cities... Solvang has a beautiful mission in addition to its great Danish heritage. Having some level of Danish in my northern European mongrel mix, I had many of them in my youth, but my wife had never had an abelskiver before.

Loath as I am to admit it, the pocket pancake, abelskiver, is an improvement on the Swedish pancake of my forebears, though both are great, especially with lingonberries.  We trekked a few times in my childhood to Lindsborg, KS which is the Swedish Solvang equivalent and about twenty miles from the farm my father grew up on.

I was said to read of Liotta's passing - he was only 67!

Off to the Field of Dreams.

Triangle of Sadness looks good - just won at Cannes.  From Svensk director Claes Olle Ruben Ostlund, dialog in English.

Title refers to a term in plastic surgery.

Cannes is explicitly trying to acknowledge their colonialist past.

So... this was a bit of a surprise to one filmmaker:

City of Anaheim- Municipal Government

11 minutes

Austin Butler of Anaheim  is seeing buzz for his portrayal of Elvis Presley in the upcoming biopic Elvis.

Butler, who was born in Anaheim and attended Twila Reid Elementary School, takes on the daunting role of playing the King alongside Tom Hanks as Col. Tom Parker, the domineering manager of Presley.

After this week at the Cannes Film Festival premier, Butler has earned praise for his impassioned performance of the American icon.

Butler got his start in television with parts on Hannah Montana, CSI: Miami and others.

In 2019, he earned critical praise for his role in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood as Manson family bad guy Tex Watson.

Elvis hits theaters on June 24. Congrats to Butler and way to make Anaheim proud!

--------------

If you succeed then the world loves you!

"...And then he has won, through his fantasy he has achieved that which before he had only in fantasy; wealth, honor, and the love of women." - Sanford Meisner who got it from Sigmund frued.

When you succeed in Show Business then your home town brags that you were born there. That is how it is, and people who you do not even know will cry when you die and they will say what a great guy you were.

You are a bum until you succeed, then you get eternal praise.

Salute,

Tony V.
