Me, John Cusack & Shuna on the set of High Fidelity, which was set up in the Earwax Cafe, which was 1/2 block from my flat in Chicago. Katherine Zita Jones was somewhere on set too but we didn't see her. 4/99
“The Children’s Own Readers - Book One” by Mary E. Penell and Alice M. Cusack, 1929, illustrated by Marguerite Davis. Again starring Jimmy Dale and Beverly.
I didn't read every name we walked over, but here are some faves that I noticed... :) SOMEBODY was in such a hurry that I, regrettably, didn't bother to whip out the camera for the first interesting star - Bryan Adams. :p
Wanna know what's worse? :D
The hostel organized a city bus tour, which we briefly considered joining on the 24th (when the price was reduced). But we decided we'd rather go a-exploring independently. (Well, as independently as was possible in the fucking huge, car-raped LA. :D )
Our hostel roomies did go on the bus tour. In our dorm that evening, they related their adventures.
The bus had stopped by a Walk of Fame ceremony - some producer was receiving a star - and
uh
um
*sob*
JOHNNY DEPP and Tom Cruise had been there and I think Roomies said they got to shake hands with Johnny. (I don't remember about Cruise.) WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
I am kicking myself. BUT... the kicks are not as fatally brutal as they would have been if Roomies had seen, say... JOAQUIN OR SOMEONE!!!!!!!!! xB
Or one of the above star people, I suppose... Or someone from Nine Inch Nails... Oh wait, THAT kind of happened.
Anyway, this star shot + some other stuff (by which I mean "The butler") eventually sent me on an epic John Cusack marathon... :D
PS. I actually haven't got a crush on Johnny Depp (it's a mystery), but he seems kinda cool. :) And "Sweeney Tood" is on my fave list. Hehe.

There are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of individual memorials attached to trees throughout the National Memorial Arboretum, in Alrewas, Staffordshire, England. Sadly, this one is not the newest one, but is a poignant reminder that wars go on, and men and women continue to die serving their country, their names as they fall added to a never ending list.
Gunner Cusack was participating in a routine reassurance patrol when he was killed aged 21 during a small arms fire engagement with insurgent forces in an area around Enezai Village.
He was born on 16 September 1989 in Stoke-on-Trent. He joined the Army in September 2006, attending the Army Foundation College, Harrogate.
Upon completion of his training, he was posted to 4th Regiment Royal Artillery, then based in Osnabrück, Germany.
He joined 97 Battery (Lawson's Company) and deployed to Afghanistan on Operation HERRICK 7 as a member of a light gun detachment. Upon returning from Afghanistan, he moved with the regiment to Topcliffe, North Yorkshire.
Having impressed with his fitness, aptitude and enthusiasm, Gunner Cusack was selected to transfer to a Fire Support Team and undertook extensive training in Canada between June and July 2009 before commencing Mission Specific Training for Operation HERRICK 12 in September last year.
His Fire Support Team moved under the command of 129 (Dragon) Battery at the beginning of 2010 and he deployed to Afghanistan in March, based in Nahr-e Saraj (South) with Malta Company, 1st Battalion The Mercian Regiment, supporting 1st Battalion The Royal Gurkha Rifles.
During his time in Afghanistan, his Fire Support Team conducted dozens of joint patrols with the Afghan National Army to reassure the local population in Nahr-e Saraj and prevent intimidation of villagers by the insurgents.
It was on one of these reassurance patrols in an area around Enezai Village that he was killed in action during a small arms fire engagement with insurgent forces.
A keen sportsman and fitness enthusiast, Gunner Cusack thrived on life. Whether boxing, playing football or in the gym, he gave his all.
He excelled in his position as Fire Support Team signaller and was a key personality within his crew. Socially gregarious, he was an extremely popular member of his battery, and his energy and enthusiasm were contagious.
An only child, he leaves behind his mother Tracey, father Sean and step-dad Dave.
"Gunner Zak Cusack was a big man with the personality to go with it. Young, fit and with a healthy love of life, he was always close to, or at the heart of, the action."
Lieutenant Colonel Chris Squier
Gunner Cusack's family said:
"Zak was a courageous, compassionate and charismatic young man. We are justly proud of not only the job that he did, but of the complete person we all knew and loved. For such a young man, Zak's infectious sense of humour, appetite for life and truly romantic heart inspired so many others.
"Zak's loss leaves a hole in our hearts, a chasm in our lives and many, many other broken hearts behind. He had a fire in his soul that will burn brightly in all our memories. He is our beautiful boy, loving son and best friend; in Zak's own words, 'he is a ledge' (legend)."
Lieutenant Colonel Chris Squier, Commanding Officer, 4th Regiment Royal Artillery, said:
"Gunner Zak Cusack was a big man with the personality to go with it. Young, fit and with a healthy love of life, he was always close to, or at the heart of, the action.
"A Stoke City fan in the North East Gunners will always have his work cut out, but his combination of cheeky charm and buoyant character always won out.
"As a soldier he had already given more than most in his short life. This was his second tour of Afghanistan having deployed in 2007 on his 18th birthday. True to his character and commitment he fought hard to move from the Gun Line to become a member of a Fire Support Team.
"Here his true potential shone through – he was a man made for the role. He fell as he had lived life, in the thick of things and with his mates in 97 Battery (Lawson's Company) and B (Malta) Company 1 MERCIAN.
"My thoughts and condolences go out to his parents Tracey and Sean and his many friends at home whose true loss we can only imagine. He will remain Forever Fourth."
Major Rich Grover, Company Commander B (Malta) Company, 1st Battalion The Mercian Regiment (Cheshire) said:
"In the short time I had the privilege of commanding Gunner Cusack, he proved to be a highly professional and competent forward observer who carried a ready smile and fun loving attitude.
"The measure of the man was the fact that the platoons wanted him with them for the patrols as they trusted him, and he had already proven that when the going got tough, he was able to step up to the plate and deliver; just the type of man required in a tight spot.
"His loss will be felt by us all, and our thoughts go out to his family and friends, all those who love him."
"Although having only been attached to my Battery for a short time, Gunner Zak Cusack has made a lasting impression on all of us."
Major Nick Constable
Major Matt Birch, Battery Commander 97 Battery (Lawson's Company), 4th Regiment Royal Artillery, said:
"Gunner Zak Cusack was an excellent man and soldier whom I got to know well whilst working in the confines of the same vehicle for a two month exercise in BATUS, Canada, last year.
"This was effectively the beginning of our build-up training for the current deployment to Afghanistan; I was immediately struck by his energy and work ethic whilst being in the field. This was Zak at his best, a fit and resourceful soldier who cared and worked tirelessly for the other members of the Battery.
"When we were challenged by hard times he would maintain a level head but also lighten our spirits with his enduring wit.
"This strength of character and fun loving attitude made him a central character on the Battery's social stage.
"His professionalism made him respected throughout the Battery; I already anticipated promoting him during this tour and he was displaying the capability to develop further within the Battery's Tactical Group.
"He proved himself on operations during both tours of Afghanistan, as the soldier that you wanted by your side in the face of adversity.
"He embodied the Lawson's spirit of professionalism and fun. His loss will affect the heart of the Battery family and we know that the remainder of us will have to work twice as hard to make up for the huge gap he has left.
"Zak personified the spirit of an artilleryman at its best and we will miss him deeply.
"Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this most difficult of times."
Major Nick Constable, Battery Commander 129 (Dragon) Battery, 4th Regiment Royal Artillery, said:
"Although having only been attached to my Battery for a short time, Gunner Zak Cusack has made a lasting impression on all of us.
"He was a young man with tremendous energy, a sharp wit and a zest for life.
"His stories of escapades on the town with his many friends were a constant source of amusement.
"I knew Zak as a soldier in a job which he loved and focussed on operations. He was an extremely capable forward observer with tremendous potential for the future, a talented radio operator and a courageous individual who would put his team members and friends before himself.
"Only one week prior to his tragic death, exhausted, whilst returning from a patrol which received a casualty he relieved a tiring stretcher party of their burden by putting his injured colleague over his shoulders and carrying him through boggy terrain to safety; such was the determined and selfless character of Gunner Cusack."
Capt Stu Lennox, Fire Support Team Commander, 97 Battery (Lawson's Company), 4th Regiment Royal Artillery, said:
"I have never seen Zak without a smile on his face. He was a constant source of morale and cherished not only by his Fire Support Team but the entire Battery.
"He had incredible potential and ability and also a thirst for fun and adventure.
"Zak was dedicated to his physical fitness, his friends and his job within the Fire Support Team.
"He was always a good addition to any social occasion and would often tell me stories of his crazy nights out.
"I have never seen Zak without a smile on his face. He was a constant source of morale and cherished not only by his Fire Support Team but the entire Battery."
Capt Stu Lennox
"However, at the same time, he would spend many hours a day in the gym ensuring he was both capable of doing his job and ready for the beach on post tour leave."
Warrant Officer Class Two (Troop Sergeant Major) Marc Ravenhill, 97 Battery (Lawson's Company), 4th Regiment Royal Artillery, said:
"Zak was a larger than life character in the Troop and indeed within the Battery who made friends easily.
"He was always a highly motivated individual who wanted to be involved in everything the Tactical Group took part in and would never shy away from a new challenge.
"Zak could always be found wherever the action was, be that at work, on the sports pitch or on a social basis with his friends.
"He was a keen, bright and talented soldier who was not scared to stand up for what he believed in.
"Zak will be sadly missed by all members of the Troop and the Battery. My sympathies go to his family and friends at this time."
Bombardier Paul Madden, Command Post Non-Commissioned Officer, 97 Battery (Lawson's Company), 4th Regiment Royal Artillery, said:
"He was a well known member of the Battery and the Regiment. He was always happy and making jokes even when times were hard.
"It is hard to believe that we saw him just the other week, he was so happy to see the boys, telling us how much he was enjoying himself. He will be sorely missed by his friends and our thoughts go out to him and his family."
Bombardier Dougie Collins, Forward Air Controller, 97 Battery (Lawson's Company), 4th Regiment Royal Artillery said:
"Zak was the life and soul of the party, always there to make dull situations bright.
"Some looked upon him as being a bit of a Jack the Lad, I looked upon him as a man's man.
"Zak would always give 100% in everything that he did, be it at work, or at play, and never needing any encouragement, because he was always at the forefront of everything.
"As a friend he will be massively missed by all who knew him and he has left a void that can never be filled.
"He has written his own page in history and his memory will live on in all of us. Zak has brought us all joy and happiness and for that I am thankful."
Bombardier Dave Southern, Joint Fires Junior Non-Commissioned Officer, 97 Battery (Lawson's Company), 4th Regiment Royal Artillery said:
"Zak was very much a lad's lad, he was always at the centre of everything, be it socially or professionally.
"He will be sorely missed by all who knew him. He has left a massive gap amongst his friends in the Regiment and the Tactical Group that knew him best. I will miss the banter whenever Bolton played Stoke.
"My deepest condolences go to his family and friends back home on their loss; Zak will always be a part of 97 Battery Tactical Group and will never be forgotten."
"I have never in my life known a lad like Zak, outgoing, easy to get on with and a wicked sense of humour, his ability to put most of us to shame in PT will stay with me."
Lance Bombardier Nath Mandall
Lance Bombardier Nath Mandall, Joint Fires Junior Non-Commissioned Officer, 97 Battery (Lawson's Company), 4th Regiment Royal Artillery, said:
"I have never in my life known a lad like Zak, outgoing, easy to get on with and a wicked sense of humour, his ability to put most of us to shame in PT will stay with me.
"He loved being a soldier and took great pride in his job and everything he did, always a team player and never needed to be asked twice to get something done.
"Zak will be sorely missed within the Battery and in the Regiment, as well as on nights out socially.
"My thoughts and best wishes go out to you and your family at this time. He will never be forgotten by all those who have had the great pleasure to have known him."
Lance Bombardier Paulo Liga, Gun Number, 97 Battery (Lawson's Company), 4th Regiment Royal Artillery, said:
"A good lad. He was a good bloke, always happy, one of the best guys in the Battery. He had something in him that no one else had – the personality and character he had was so special that I knew he was going a long way in his career.
"I was with him on the last HERRICK tour which clearly influenced him and he grew very strong.
"A good laugh out on the town in Germany, we will miss him. My condolences go to his family and may the good Lord continue to be with his family in these times.
"May his soul rest in peace."
Lance Bombardier Scott Casson, Joint Fires Junior Non-Commissioned Officer, 97 Battery (Lawson's Company), 4th Regiment Royal Artillery said:
"Zak was a character who was larger than life; he was an extremely popular lad within the Battery, even more so within the Tactical Group.
"Zak was always up for a laugh, and the first one up for a party, and never short of a story of his escapades from the weekend.
"At work Zak was a very dedicated and professional soldier, always giving 100% all of the time.
"Highly respected and looked up to by the junior lads, and an equal amongst his peers, he will be sadly missed by all within the Regiment."
Gunner Daniel Pugh, Fire Support Team Signaller, 97 Battery (Lawson's Company), 4th Regiment Royal Artillery, said:
"Zak Cusack, what a guy. Serving alongside Cusack was an honour because he was a professional and selfless soldier who put others before himself, even in his personal life.
"He has made times feel so much better than what they have because he had a special way to bring the best out of every situation, bad or good and I will miss him greatly."
Gunner Graham Thompson, Joint Fires Signaller, 129 (Dragon) Battery, 4th Regiment Royal Artillery, said:
"Zak was a great friend who will be truly missed. He will never be forgotten; all the lads will remember him. I will miss those fun times we had and especially the nights on the town."
Gunner 'Chappy' Chapman, Fire Support Team Assistant, 97 Battery (Lawson's Company), 4th Regiment Royal Artillery, said:
"Zak was a friend in a million, with so many stories that will remain with me forever, thinking of you all at this very difficult time."
Secretary of State for Defence, Dr Liam Fox, said:
"Gunner Zak Cusack made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of his country. He was killed whilst providing security to the local population following recent attempts by the Taliban to intimidate them.
"It is clear that he was hugely valued by his friends and comrades as a professional and selfless soldier, and they all speak highly of his wit and strong spirit.
"My heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends and his colleagues who served with him on this vital mission as they come to terms with his loss."
When I photograph the older parts of Dublin I will often attract the attention of the self appointed local historian and today was not an exception. The gentleman in question told me that the lifting bridge was built by Earl Spencer the paternal grandfather of Diana Spencer. The problem with such stories is that the facts may be “alternative” but they are often true so they cannot be easily dismissed. I did, however, have some problems with the story for the following reasons.
[1] Spencer Dock was originally known as the Royal Canal Docks
[2] Diana’s Grand Father or his father had no connection with Ireland.
[3] The bridge appears to have an electric motor dating from the 1940s or 1950s
Anyway I decided to check a history of the docklands published by Turtle Bunbury [by the way the book features one of my photographs] and I came across the following: “The new dock was a work of ‘entirely private enterprise’ and cost £58,000. On the beautiful afternoon of 15th April 1873, (Sir) Ralph Cusack, Chairman of the MGWR, opened the new dock and formally named it Spencer after the Lord Lieutenant, Earl Spencer, great-great grandfather of Diana, Princess of Wales.”
So there was some basis to the local historian’s claim however the bridge associated with the development was at the time described as “an ingenious hydraulic bridge” and it was the work of the railway’s engineer Mr Price. The bridge in my photographs does not really match the description above.
The available information available is confusing but the bridge in my photographs appears to be referred to as the Sheriff Street Lifting Bridge but also as the Sheriff Street Spencer Drawbridge but it was built in 1941 as a replacement for an older swivel bridge dating from 1873.
Just before I published my photographs I came across this “However, on 17 October 1941 the IT reported on the opening of the new Sheriff Street drawbridge, which had cost £18,000; it was a structure unique of its kind in these islands.” canalsofdublin.com/royal-canal-interactive-walk/sheriff-s...

Stephen McKeag (1 April 1970 - 24 September 2000), also known as "Topgun", was an Ulster loyalist paramilitary who became one of the most notorious figures within the Ulster Defence Association's (UDA) 'C' Company in the 1990s.
McKeag first became involved in 'C' Company of the lower Shankill, the leading section of the UDA, in around 1989, heading up his own section of the company which was a hit squad (other sections concentrating on drug-dealing, money laundering and similar activities).[2] According to Henry McDonald and Jim Cusack, the UDA gave an annual "Volunteer of the Year" award to the organisation's top hitman. The award, presented on the Shankill Road and usually consisting of a trophy in the form of a model gun and plaque made by loyalists prisoners, was dominated by McKeag from 1990 onwards and helped to ensure that he became known as "Top Gun" both to his UDA comrades and his republican opponents.[5] In all, the RUC estimated that McKeag was responsible for at least 12 killings, although the figure was placed higher by a number of his former paramilitary associates.[5]
One of McKeag's earliest attacks occurred on 11 March 1990 when he shot and killed Eamon Quinn outside his Kashmir Road home in the Clonard district of the Falls Road, beginning a long campaign of sectarian killings by the UDA. On 31 July he was behind a similar attack on the Springfield Road, where Catholic John Judge was killed after being shot five times by McKeag and his unit. This was followed on 16 October by the killing of Dermot McGuinness in Rosapena Street in north Belfast.[8] Another victim was Seamus Sullivan, the son of former Belfast City Council member Jim Sullivan of the Workers' Party, killed on 4 September 1991 at the council depot on Springfield Avenue where he worked. Lawrence Murchan, a shopkeeper who was killed by McKeag and his unit on St James's Road on 28 September was the 2000th person to be killed during The Troubles. This was followed on 14 November by an attack on the Devenish Arms in Finaghy, resulting in the death of civil servant Aidan Wallace and the loss of an eye for an 8 year old boy.
Following his killing of Catholic shop worker Philomena Hanna at a chemists near the Springfield Road on 28 April 1992, eyewitnesses reported that as McKeag and his driver sped back to the Shankill via Lanark Way they shouted and sang his favourite song, 'Follow the Yellow Brick Road' from The Wizard of Oz. Other UDA members later confirmed that the Yellow Brick Road was McKeag's nickname for Lanark Way, a street linking the Shankill and Springfield roads and favoured by loyalist hitmen as an escape route from republican west Belfast. An attack on 14 November 1992, launched by McKeag, under the orders of Johnny Adair, on a branch of Sean Graham's bookmakers on the Oldpark Road left three Catholics dead and a number of others, including some Protestants who also frequented the betting shop, injured.
As well as civilian Catholics, McKeag was also involved on attacks upon republicans. On 1 May 1993 Alan Lundy, a former Provisional IRA activist, was killed by McKeag in the Ardoyne area. McKeag struck again on 8 August 1993, killing Sean Lavery at the Antrim Road home of his father Bobby Lavery, a Sinn Féin councillor who had been the target of the attack.[17] However non-republicans continued to be targets and on 30 August he killed Marie Teresa Dowds de Mogollon in an attack on her home, although this murder was seen as extreme by UDA brigadiers outside C Company, resulting in it eventually being claimed as an accident when it was claimed under the UDA's Ulster Freedom Fighters cover name. This was followed on 7 September 1993 when McKeag and two other UDA members entered a hairdresser's shop on the upper Donegall Road and shot the proprietor Sean Hughes dead. Although brought to trial he was not convicted after eyewitness testimony did not stand up to scrutiny. The following day shopkeeper Michael Edwards was killed at his Finaghy home by McKeag and his unit[20] and on 15 October McKeag killed Paddy McMahon after calling for him to deliver a pizza to a derelict house. McKeag was held in prison soon after this attack for the Hughes trial and the mantle of top hitman in C Company temporarily passed to Gary "Smickers" Smyth.
Following the killing of Loyalist Volunteer Force (LVF) leader Billy Wright by the Irish National Liberation Army (INLA) inside the Maze Prison in December 1997, Adair, who was a strong admirer of "King Rat", told McKeag that he had carte blanche to avenge the murder. McKeag did so on 28 December when he entered the Clifton Tavern in north Belfast and opened fire with an uzi, killing Edmund Trainor and injuring a number of others. On 23 January 1998 he was also involved in the killing of Liam Conway on north Belfast's Hesketh Road although McKeag was brought before the Inner Council of the UDA for this attack as the movement had declared a ceasefire a few hours earlier. McKeag claimed that the attack was in response to the continuing activity of the INLA, and his fearsome reputation meant that the Inner Council would not reprimand him, even though the murder resulted in the Ulster Democratic Party being excluded from all-party talks. By this time McKeag was effectively in command of C Company whilst Adair was in prison.
McKeag was found dead by family members at his home at Florence Court off the Crumlin Road on 24 September 2000. With his face heavily bruised and a crossbow bolt embedded into the wall nearby, it was initially assumed that he had been killed; although a post-mortem revealed his death was caused by a lethal combination of painkillers and cocaine.

Eamonn Mac Thomais the Dublin historian and author who died in 2002 wrote in the Irish Press on 2 June 1986 about his input in helping Ballyfermot get its new church. His parish church was St Michaels in Inchicore and one Sunday at mass Father Donal O Scannaill who was one of the curate’s in St Michaels and was also assigned to help start up the new parish of Ballyfermot appealed over the alter for door to door collectors to help build a church in Ballyfermot. Eamonn gave in his name as one of the volunteers. He received his collector’s book and he was off the next Sunday to collect on

The wonderful thing about Dublin is that everything has a history or a background story but the problem is that everyone will tell you a different story.
When I first photographed this bridge a self appointed local historian told me that the lifting bridge was built by Earl Spencer the paternal grandfather of Diana Spencer. The problem with such stories is that the facts may be “alternative” but they are often true so they cannot be easily dismissed. I did, however, have some problems with the story for the following reasons.
[1] Spencer Dock was originally known as the Royal Canal Docks
[2] Diana’s Grand Father or his father had no connection with Ireland.
[3] The bridge appears to have an electric motor dating from the 1940s or 1950s
Anyway I decided to check a history of the docklands published by Turtle Bunbury [by the way the book features one of my photographs] and I came across the following: “The new dock was a work of ‘entirely private enterprise’ and cost £58,000.

it reads "I believe that John Cusack has indeed made life harder for all men, but I do not believe that any woman should settle for less than her perfect boom-box moment."
in case you couldn't tell. :]
Editor in Chief of The Hill Bob Cusack interviews Reps. Fred Upton (R-Mich.) and Diana DeGette (D-Col.) during a policy briefing entitled "The Value of a Cure: Ensuring Access and Encouraging Innovation" sponsored by USC Schaeffer Center for Health Policy and Economics and The Hill at the Newseum in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, February 28, 2016.
Not actually a "location", but after watching the 2009 movie "2012", I had to include this in my location set. The screen grab from the movie "2012" (top) shows Randy's Donut rolling down the street during the big earthquake in Los Angeles. The great part is when you see it rolling over a police car.
Poetic...
Randy's can also be seen (intact) in Earth Girls Are Easy, Mars Attacks!, Golden Child, Into the Night, Coming to America, Stripped to Kill, Problem Child 2, Breathless , Iron Man 2, California Girls, Love Letters, and Randy Newman's video "I Love L.A.".
The adventures of Beverly and Jimmy Dale continue! “The Children’s Own Readers - Book One” by Mary E. Pennell and Alice M. Cusack, 1929, illustrated by Marguerite Davis. Again starring Jimmy Dale and Beverly.
A scene from John Boorman's cinematic satire THE TIGER'S TALE playing at the 52nd San Francisco International Film Festival, April 23-May 7, 2009.
SFIFF52- SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 52- THE TIGER'S TAIL - Ireland

SHOWTIMES: 4/24 4:30, 4/26 12:00 Castro
The incredible director JOHN BOORMAN (there's those all caps again) who directed (name those films) Deliverance, Hope and Glory, Zardoz (Sean Connary-be still my beating heart) , Point Blank, The General..(oh come on, shall I go on?)
JOHN BOORMAN (ohh, all caps again, think ADDA likes this Director?) expertly channels the Alfred Hitchcock twists and turns great thriller about a sleazy , rich developer who has his face slapped by...well, lots of folks.. including his wife, his son, his secretary, his work, his dreams, his parents, his...oh, you get the idea.
"What ever happened to good old-fashioned, honest corruption?" says the sleezy real estate developer about the 'Celtic Tiger' (boom of Ireland's economy from 1996-2006) gets it's tail pulled by many, many interested folks (bankers, wankers, relatives, ex-relatives, business partners, mums & dads) .
A doppelganger is after the successful developer...but then is the developer really successful? Is everything falling apart? What about those bank accounts, Is there a doppelganger or is the developer going mad over the stress? Is it real or is it...imagined? And what about those reflections in the windows...are they real?
HEY, A good toss in the looney bin will chill him out...all the while, the 'doppelganger' goes after his wife, his accounts, his business, his boat, his cars, well, his life...or is it just imagined?
Expertly filmed and well presented thoughout with believable situations, THE TIGER'S TAIL, jolts and jarrs the viewer at every twist and turn.
HELLO. This is not for those who want a simple and easy linear ride. This film will have you guessing and wondering "WHAT THE HELL?" many times thoughout. (One can sort of hope and predict a happy ending...for that is what will sell the film to a major audience, BUT THE RIDE...OH MY...)
another HIGHLY RECOMMENDED SFIFF FILM - FOUR & 1/2 SPOTLIGHTS.... This will be released, but see it before everyone at the SFIFF52.
BEST LINES:
"Seeing your double means you're gonna die."
"Please don't ravish my hair. It took me 2 hours to get ready. "
"The more homes you build, the more homeless you create. You know, those who can't afford a home just drop out."
"Every success needs a victim."
FOUR 1/2 SPOTLIGHTS....A FILM THAT WILL BE RELEASED & FOR A TRUE TWIST-N-TURN FAN...A MUST SEE!

BEYOND RESISTANCE: A PEOPLE’S MOVEMENT FOR A JUST WORLD
Sen. Bernie Sanders keynotes a major gathering of several thousand progressive activists from across the U.S. in Chicago June 9 to 11 under a thematic of moving beyond resistance to a building a broad people’s movement for a just world.
This year’s program features concrete steps for further progressive movement building, including candidate training, independent political action, civil disobedience, educational workshops, and unity in mass actions.
Another highlight is “The People Speak” featuring an all-star lineup of actors and musicians celebrating the often neglected history of the United States. Performers will include Hong Chau, Jesse Eisenberg, Frances Fisher, Laura Gomez, Brian Jones, Melissa Leo, Aasif Mandvi, Susan Pourfar, Kendrick Sampson, and Wallace Shawn.
Convening organizations include National Nurses United, People’s Action, United Students Against Sweatshops, People for Bernie, Our Revolution, United Electrical Workers, Color of Change, Progressive Democrats of America, and Democratic Socialists of America, and Million Hoodies.

Small towns are the best place for 'ghost sign' hunters to seek their quest. Urban renewal and moderization haven't hit them as is evident in this wonderfully preserved Gold Medal Flour ad, along with an Butter Nut bread ad, and an advertisement for the local grocer that once occupied this corner store. These ads were painted by the famous Thomas Cusack Sign Company of Chicago,IL.
More shots of this ghost to follow soon.
The first California quake in the 2009 movie "2012" wakes up Jackson Curtis (John Cusack) in his home on 45th Street in Manhattan Beach.
The last time Cusack was filming a movie in Manhattan Beach, it was the thriller "1408". In 1408, Cusack came to this same beach (El Porto) to go surfing, he lived Hermosa beach.
In both movies, he was also a novelist.
How many more parallels can we draw?
This line comes from a classic 80′s movie called: Say Anything. I thought the scene where Jon Cusack holds up a boombox was hilarious, so I decided to pair it up with a ridiculous quote from his character.
