Buddy comedy duo Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson enter the Oscar race for ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’

If Colin Farrell doesn’t get an Oscar nomination for The Banshees of Inisherin this year, he never will. That’s all I could think of after seeing his work in Martin McDonagh’s latest dark comedy.

And who would have thought that Farrell and Brendan Gleeson would become the perfect comedy duo of our day? I thought the couple’s magic in ‘In Bruges’ (2008) was a one-hit wonder, but with ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’ the two men have recaptured their old alchemy.

The latest pitch-black hype from Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri director-writer McDonagh taps into the simplest premise in recent history: a man trying to understand why his best friend doesn’t want to talk to him anymore. What unfolds within this premise are moral complexities and refreshing interpretations of love and forgiveness.

In over 25 years in Hollywood, Farrell has had his share of setbacks and resurgences, with his story akin to Robert Downey Jr.’s. He was a tabloid Icarus who has gone on to become one of our finest screen actors with a string of impressive performances in a variety of films. It’s time to give him his share. Just look at the year he had. In addition to his work in The Banshees of Inisherin, the Irish heartthrob disappeared under piles of prosthetic limbs as the penguin in Matt Reeves’ The Batman, then portrayed a heroic cave diver who risked everything to save captive children in Ron Howard’s Thirteen save lives.” If there is justice, all of these efforts will result in Farrell’s first Oscar nomination. It’s about time.

Gleeson is a valued and widely respected actor with over four decades of experience in the business. His dry wit and psychologically thoughtful twist might be enough to earn him his first name. There’s a Masters Class exchange between Farrell and Gleeson that made me subscribe to the theory that Gleeson could very well be this season’s Jim Broadbent. It’s a nod to the veteran character actor’s victory in Iris (2001) after a lifetime of memorable and largely overlooked twists and turns.

Gleeson is likely to run for best supporting actor, although he’s actually the co-lead with Farrell.

And mark that, international actress Kerry Condon has arrived. Playing the gutter-mouth sister, she cuts and rolls in key scenes that are sure to make her a force to be reckoned with in the supporting actress race this season.

Barry Keoghan has been quietly climbing the charts of exciting actors. He may be known to the general public as the Joker from Eternals (2021) or his one-scene cameo in The Batman. But for those of us who describe ourselves as “Day Ones” with Keoghan, “Dunkirk” and “The Killing of Sacred Deer,” we were excited for whatever he offered. “Banshees” confirms his promise and your heart will swoon in a beautiful waterfront exchange between him and Condon that has him plotting a possible future together. But Gleeson seems like a safe bet and Keoghan’s minimal screen time will be his biggest challenge.

It’s not clear what “Banshees” can muster in the technical races. If he’s popular, he has a chance in categories like cinematography, with its sweeping landscapes, editing, and Carter Burwell’s gritty score.

“Banshees” has one thing to offer. There are many depressing movies and movies with spiked running times. McDonagh’s film runs under two hours and doesn’t hold back a chuckle.

It’s worth nothing that McDonagh, once the theater scene’s enfant terrible, is now settled into a slightly more subdued middle age that isn’t for everyone. Even “Three Billboards” met a mixed reception, with some critics denouncing its violence and vigilantism. “Banshees” will inspire many more hot takes. But here’s a hot take: That kind of passionate debate isn’t always a bad thing.

Paloma Fernandez daughter of La Bruja del 71 de quotChavo

Paloma Fernández, daughter of La Bruja del 71 de "Chavo from 8"

MEXICO CITY, September 4 (EL UNIVERSAL).- The witch of ’71, also known as Doña Clotilde, is undoubtedly one of the most memorable characters in the television show “El Chavo del 8”. These characters were played by the talented and popular actress Angelines Fernández, and their antics provided hours of laughter.

One of the people who always fondly remembers the character played by Angelines Fernández is her daughter Paloma Fernández. The character of La Bruja del 71 was a single woman who constantly aspired to be loved by the character Don Ramón played by actor Ramón Valdés, but he always tried to avoid her. Angelides’ first steps into acting were when she was 29 years old when Fernández came to our country to escape the horrors of the Spanish Civil War.

Before joining the cast of “El Chavo del 8,” Angelines Fernández starred in a few dramatic projects. Fernández retired in the 1990s and his tobacco addiction caused him respiratory and heart problems that took his life in 1994. But his legacy lives on thanks to the broadcasts of El Chavo del 8 and the memories of his loved ones.

This is what Paloma Fernández, Angeline’s daughter, looks like today

One of Paloma’s last appearances was meeting Esteban Valdés, the grandson of the actor who played Don Ramón. The meeting took place as part of an interview shared on the young man’s YouTube channel. They both recalled funny moments and anecdotes from their parents when they were part of the cast of “El Chavo del 8.”

Those who were able to see Paloma’s interview with Esteban Valdés assured that the woman looks a lot like Angelines Fernández. La Bruja del 71 has also appeared in other memorable projects in our country, such as “El Chapulín Colorado” and “Chespirito”, and in both productions she returned to collaborate with Roberto Gómez Bolaños.

Rebecca is currently touring Australia with her new music, which is a far cry from Friday’s low-budget pop.

“I’m so excited to be here in Australia now and almost 12 years later [Friday],’ She said.

“I just played a sold out show in Melbourne and I’m really grateful that I’m able to build an audience that really resonates with what I’m doing now as opposed to that thing back then.”

When Black Friday first released at the age of 13, she received widespread backlash online and was viciously trolled.

It was also revealed at the time that her mother paid $2,000 for the pre-written song, which was purchased by a music composition and production company in Los Angeles.

The song went viral for being overwhelmingly “bad” and was ridiculed by comedians and the public alike, although some called it “disgustingly catchy” and it made her an overnight star.

Man whose baby photo appeared on the cover of Nevermind loses lawsuit against Nirvana

Why would Nirvana’s cover be a porn? 3:18

(CNN) — A federal court in California has dismissed a lawsuit alleging that the cover art of rock band Nirvana’s 1991 album Nevermind constituted child pornography.

Spencer Elden, 31, who appeared nude on the album cover as a baby, has sued the band for alleged “commercial sexual exploitation of children”.

However, his lawsuit was dismissed on Friday when a judge ruled that Elden had filed his complaint after the 10-year statute of limitations had expired.

“Accordingly, plaintiff’s complaint is dismissed without authorization to amend,” Fernando M. Olguin, United States District Judge for the Central District of California, said in a ruling obtained by CNN.

Elden’s attorney told CNN that he plans to appeal the firing.

The cover of Nevermind, showing the boy Elden swimming underwater with his eyes on a dollar bill, has become one of rock music’s most enduring images.

In the original lawsuit, filed on August 24, 2021, Elden’s attorneys said the image was pornographic and that he suffered “lifelong harm” as a result of his participation.

Elden listed as defendants the surviving members of the band, the executor of singer Kurt Cobain’s estate, and several record companies.

The photo became one of the most enduring images in rock music.

After the lawsuit was dismissed, a second amended lawsuit sought damages for what Elden described as “lifelong loss of earning capacity, loss of past and future wages, past and future medical and psychological treatment costs, loss of enjoyment of life, and other losses” that will be in described and proved during the hearing of this matter”.

The lawsuit alleged that Elden was sexualized because the image of the naked baby clutching the dollar bill made him look like “a sex worker.”

Elden has occasionally recreated the image throughout his adult life, but has also indicated in interviews that he is uncomfortable with the album cover’s popularity.
