‘It felt dangerous. You got naggy’: Ethan Hawke and Richard Linklater on power, combovers and Blue Moon

-
Ahead of their 11th movie together, the actor and director discuss musicals, the legacy of Philip Seymour Hoffman and what being bald and 5ft tall does to your flirting skills ‘I like this, it’s good,” Ethan Hawke tells Richard Linklater, midway through a lively digression that has already hopped from politics to the Beatles to the late films of John Huston . “What’s good?” asks Linklater. “All of this,” says Hawke, by which he means the London hotel suite with its coffee table, couch and matching upholstered armchairs; the whole chilly machinery of the international press junket. “I like that we get to spend a couple of days in a room,” he says. “It feels like a continuation of the same conversation we’ve been having for the past 32 years.” It’s all about the conversation with Linklater and Hawke. The two men like to talk; often the talk sparks a film. The director and actor first met backstage at a play in 1993 (“Sophistry, by Jon Marc Sherman,” says Linklater) and wound up chattin...

John Hartman, Doobie Brothers Founding Member And Drummer, Passed Away At The Age Of 72

-
John Hartman, a musician who was instrumental in the formation of the Doobie Brothers and served as the band's original drummer, passed away at the age of 72. On Thursday, the band shared the sad news about Hartman's passing on their official social media pages, describing him as a showman, a great spirit, and a wild spirit. The band stated that they remember John Hartman, who they referred to as "Little John," on this day. During his time with the Doobies, John was known for his free-wheeling personality, extraordinary drumming, and charismatic stage presence. Additionally, he was a close buddy over the course of many years and an essential component of the band's personality! Between the early 1970s and the early 1990s, the musician, who was born and raised in Virginia, participated in a rock band for two separate periods of time. In 1969, Hartman met the band's frontman, Tom Johnston, and, later, finger-picking guitarist Pat Simmons in Northern California. Inspired by their musical chemistry, Hartman decided to form a band. Because of tracks like "Listen to the Music" and "Jesus is Just Alright," the band's second studio album, Toulouse Street, became an instant favorite among fans almost as soon as it was released in 1972. Their first album, which was self-titled and released in 1971, failed to make a significant impact on the charts. The album reached its highest position on the Billboard 200 charts in 1972, where it peaked at No. 21. According to Rolling Stone, Hartman left the band in 1979, after eight studio albums, before the release of their ninth album, One Step Closer, after a tense tour of Japan. This occurred after the band had already released eight albums. Hartman described the situation as one in which everything was disintegrating. Ten years later, in 1989, Hartman returned to the band for the recording of the album Cycles. The following year, in 1991, he recorded the album Brotherhood before leaving the band once more, this time for good, in 1992. In the year 2020, Hartman and the other members of the band who were still alive at the time, including Jeff Skunk Baxter, Michael Hossack, Tom Johnston, Keith Knudsen, Michael McDonald, John McFee, Tiran Porter, and Patrick Simmons, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
