To stay in bed and watch, more movies. “Hillbilly Elegy.” True story. A Yale Law student’s pulled back home to Appalachia. Drug addict mother is played by Amy Adams. Grandma, played by Glenn Close, raises him. Director’s Ron Howard.
Ron: “[Author J.D. Vance] didn’t really want a movie about his family drama, but the personal memoir stirred feelings in me. They thought like my relatives do.”
Glenn, hard to recognize under wigs and prosthetics, said: “I changed my looks because I didn’t want anyone distracted recognizing a familiar face. Also, I met J.D.’s family. My character was a tough woman. Look, I don’t like going over territory where I’ve been before but this was different than anything I’d ever played.”
Adams had a personal connection. “People close to me were touched by addiction. It felt important to find the humanity in that struggle. I also wore wigs. One I named Beverly, only the thing was so hot it felt like wearing a beaver on my head. So it got called Beaverly.”
Their film opens Nov. 24.
More Options
Here’s another. Romantic Hulu comedy “Palm Springs” has former “SNL” star Andy Samberg stuck at a desert wedding. Co-star J.K. Simmons, stuck home in our CV pandemic, says: “All I know is I haven’t taken off this T-shirt since March.”
More. “The Slutcracker.” A burlesque, feminist version of “The Nutcracker.” Whoever still knows of some archaic mausoleum called a theater, this thing might come to you. If not, it’s some film version of some ballet with some belly dancers, ballet dancers, hula hoopers, plus other unique oddity artists in assorted shapes and sizes. Also ages. It’s coming for Thanksgiving. Forget the word “turkey.”
What we’re really thinking about
As Biden’s still itchy on replacing Andrew Jackson’s portrait in the Oval Office with FDR’s, the slog remains uphill. In disputed elections, happens that improperly sent or sloppily signed mail-ins have been rejected. DJT could prevail, but minus a crate of hidden Trump voters, we’re talking slim math for the president. A wobbly showing in key states could yet decide the undecided. To win, Donald must run an inside straight for the second time in a row and needs to hold every lead even by an itsy margin. Meaning, not likely to win big. Meaning more “action” needed at the margins. Sides will fight to ensure each vote’s counted correctly. Lose a single area, and Biden wins. If President Trump contests the race, he may need to move more than one state. Besides those from the 1800s, contested include Florida’s Bush to Gore in 2000. In other cases, the popular vote loser won the Electoral College, but those margins were such that no contest was made.
Told you so
OK, back to work. It’s been a heavy-duty week. Not the White House. The club house. The new owner of the Mets baseball team Steve Cohen — and may his tribe increase.
Being delicate and refined I, Madam Adams, would never parade an innate omniscience. However, it was my very own self who told you months ago to shove the scratchings of A (guess what that stands for) Rodriguez, who claimed he was buying the team.
I knew the deals. He hadn’t the bread and couldn’t borrow it. Johnny Depp had a better shot. To muddle last week’s decision, he even tried having another ballclub owner vote Cohen down. Also, using well-connected types, he tried to lobby de Blasio and delay the deal. What got muddled was de Blasio.
Ten seconds after the commissioner and other owners OK’d Cohen, de Blasio caved. Three strikes. Alex and his bedmate Lopez are out. The thing is, they were never in.
Not just ballplayers and voters are confused. Also podiatrists. A patient limped into Dr. Rock Positano’s office this morning and asked, “The pain’s giving me such a headache so what are we treating today — my head or my foot?” Said the doc: “Both.”
Only in New York City, kids, only in New York City.
