I Love You, Daddy by Louis C.K.

-

 

        In the 2010's Louis C.K. was riding high. His FX series "Louie" won Emmy awards, his comedy specials did well and he was getting parts in big movies. He then wrote, directed and starred in I Love You, Daddy. It premiered at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival, got a distributer, trailers were shown on tv in anticipation of a big theatrical release for November 2017. Then...two women came forward with allegations of, shall we say, "inappropriate conduct". Allegations that C. K. then confirmed. It was found that this had been going on for a while and the film was immediately dropped.

       I think I first saw the trailer when he was hosting SNL. At first, I thought it was a parody of films by Woody Allen, another director who has had his share of allegations. Who knows when or if the film will be released. A year after his fall from grace C.K. returned to stand-up comedy to mixed reactions.

Raiders of the Lost Ark with Tom Selleck 1981

 Since a new Indiana Jones movie is coming out I think it is good time to revisit the first one. However this is the one that almost was. Most people know Selleck was originally cast but there were a lot of changes before it was finally filmed. The synopsis on the back of the DVD cover above will cover some of them. I first heard about Toht's mechanical arm when I got the book "Raiders of the Lost Ark: the Illustrated Screenplay and page 87 had a storyboard drawing of a very different Toht than we know today.  The illustration I used for the front cover is from an old Playboy and I believe Joann Daly is the artist.

WHAM! Sons of Jack and Albert 1990

  Wham! were huge in the 1980s. When they broke up George Michael's career soared. Even though Andrew Ridgeley was half of Wham! when I would mention his name people would ask "Who?". If I replied he was "the other one from Wham!" people understood. The same year Michael released L isten Without Prejudice Vol.1  Ridgeley released his solo album Son of Albert . I chose three of Ridgeley's songs for this: "Shake" (which was a single from the album), "Baby Jane" and "Red Dress" (which has Michael on backing vocals). https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCHnLE0OxajFoVCvBXRdUERbUvRqe2RNk&si=JrjyUkQfyxejE1Dl

Panic Room Nicole Kidman 2002

  Panic Room is another movie that could have been quite different looking than what we know today. Before Jodie Foster was cast in the led Nicole Kidman had already filmed for three weeks but had to leave because of an aggravated knee injury. Before she became from the tv series "Heroes", Hayden Panetierre was set to play the daughter but was replaced by Kristen Stewart before she made it big with Twilight . One other surprising bit of original casting is that Dwight Yoakam's role was originally offered to Tool's lead singer Maynard James Keenan. Director David Fincher had wanted him after directing Keenan in a music video.
