It’s me. The April fool

Very special shout-out to @tomfcukery for giving me the idea in the first place to play around with the concept of Vegeta and Flo Milli tracks for 7 hours

Hello!

How are you guys holding up? I'm in the last leg of releasing a book, so I'm going MIA for a while. Hope you're enjoying the summer there in the upper hemisphere. I know how things are going in the Hiddles fandom at the moment. I hope that in the end of all things...if you remember how short life is, and how many horrors have just happened earlier, love is always a good thing. Let your emotions out and let them cool down, whatever it is. I just realized that too, so thought I'be sharing here. Take good care of yourself, guys! Till later. ~R

“I think [representation is] something that people need to see,” he emphasized. “That there’s a benefit to voices not just of women, but people of color and people that are typically not as well-represented.”

To conclude the evening, when asked about what advice he’d like to leave the young filmmakers with as they move forward in their own careers, he noted a special time very early in his career when he worked with the legendary Mike Nichols in his early twenties. “He taught me that my voice was as important as anyone’s. Not to say that I know any better. It’s critical that you don’t walk around thinking that, but to know that your voice matters. That, to me, is a really important thing to keep with you.”

[His quote resonates with Tom’s most celebrated quote here http://hiddleswords.tumblr.com/post/23982622645/never-stop-never-stop-fighting-never-stop (“Never stop…If you’ve got something to say, say it from the rooftops.”)

I showed I Saw The Light to my mom and she exclaimed, “Is that Tom singing? He did the singing?” Mom listened to Hank Williams (and other country artists), and she was excited. Apart from the resemblance, she went, “Wow! He did great!” I do hope ISTL is showing in cinema because a music movie is better seeing in a cinema and mom is looking forward to it (though there is a possibility the film will only show in Bangkok and likely at one arthouse, while High Rise can be featured in a more mass cinemas but still limited to the capital city).

Anyone here has their parents as Hank Williams fans/listeners and have watched ISTL? What’s their opinion?

On a side note, there was a music legend film a few years ago. She was a Thai queen of country whose life was really tragic. She was born in a farming family and was the 5th out of twelves. She couldn’t write or read. Once a singer, she supported the whole family. She became the queen of country because her songs touch people’s hearts, be it lively or sad ones, that nowadays country musicians and artists call her ‘a teacher’ because they study her songs and honor her to a goddess status, using her songs in contests as 'a masterpiece showcase of excellence’ and building her a shrine. She worked so hard to support her family, was acclaimed and loved by all, but was cheated twice by two husbands she had, and passed away from LSE (Lupus) at 31.

The film employed a budding country singer that looked like her and sings like her, making it so convincing. But the singer/actress is still trying to get out of her shadow to become her own artist even nowadays.

I wrote a short movie script, and cast Tom Hiddleston as a leading man and Sandra Bullock as his mother. No offense to Sandra, because she couldn't be that old when having Tom as a son, but I just think she can pull it off and she's someone I enjoyed watching. Two years after I submitted that script to my online class, I realized that if you want to submit a screenplay to agents, it is a kind of an etiquette NOT to make casting suggestion or your cast preference. (Oops--but I'm not taking that cast preference down, though. It's still online). At some competitions the judges might even read the scripts without any info regarding the writers for non-discrimination approach, so I guess it's leaving room for interpretation and imagination here. So yes, it's Sandra vs Tom in that script of mine. Back in those days I remembered being surprised that Anne Rice voiced her ideal cast for Lestat (an actor from her time). I remembered asking in my mind naively 'why can't an author choose her own cast? She's the creator.' Of course there are legions of people involving in making a film and the power lies not in the writer's hands, but still, is it bad if an author voices their cast? I remembered Dan Brown voicing his while writing Da Vinci Code. Studios don't have to listen to them, but I feel screenwriters should be able to 'voice' it (unless you're given a spec?) if it's their own original idea? Of course, there is a case of professionalism... Especially if you get hired full time...so usually you are given the subjects you have to work on. If anyone has the hand on experience, then write me and share your thoughts!
