THE AARONS 2022 - Best TV Performance

I don’t have a joke for this one either. I agree it’s not my best performance. Here is The Aaron for Best TV Performance:

WINNER: Rhea Seehorn as Kim Wexler - Better Call Saul

One wouldn’t have to try hard to make the case that lawyer Kim Wexler was essential to Saul’s success. Subsequently, one could easily wax on about Seehorn’s contributions to the series. From her ingenuity in the courtroom to her resolve in times of crisis, Wexler had throughout the series been its strongest character. In lesser hands, she would have come off as indestructible, but Seehorn never lost sight of the growing cracks in her facade. That dam finally burst in the penultimate episode ‘Waterworks,’ which hinged upon an unbroken take of Wexler’s complete emotional breakdown. The whole-hog heart-rending sequence by Seehorn was indisputable proof that the lawyer was television’s best character, bar none.

HONORABLE MENTIONS:

Bob Odenkirk as Saul Goodman - Better Call Saul

Seehorn’s win shouldn’t diminish the power of the show’s principal attorney; even as his character reached rock bottom, Oderkirk was never less than great, man.

Sarah Goldberg as Sally Reed - Barry

Reed may be a struggling actor, but Goldberg is a star; the impact of her outbursts forces viewers to confront the true extent of Barry’s violent behavior.

Paddy Considine as King Viserys I Targaryen - House of the Dragon

Considine’s exasperated monarch, scaling back infighting to his very last breath, was the crowning achievement of the spin-off’s first season.

Paul Walter Hauser as Larry Hall - Black Bird

After his hair-raising handling of serial killer Hall, Black Bird is sure to send Hauser’s career soaring to new heights.

NEXT UP: THE 2022 AARON FOR BEST SUPPORTING TV PERFORMANCE!

This Day in History: First Live Televised POTUS Press Conference

On this day in 1961, John F. Kennedy becomes the first United States President to give a live, televised press conference. Modern Americans are used to seeing Presidents in such situations, but the concept was entirely new back then.

“[It’s] the most haphazard method ever devised to obtain the views of a President of the United States,” journalist Bob Considine scoffed before the press conference. He was joined by New York Times columnist James Reston who thought it “the goofiest idea since the hula hoop.”

What if a presidential slip of the tongue caused an international incident?

September Morn, Paul Émile Chabas, 1911

Isn't it a lovely picture of a lady? In fact, this painting was very controversial...

In 1912, at the Paris Salon, Paul Chabas was awarded a medal for his painting September Morn. In May 1913, the manager of Braun and Company's store on West Forty-sixth Street in New York City displayed a copy of this innocent act in the window. Anti-vice crusader Anthony Comstock came to the store and ordered the painting removed. He said: This is not an image suitable for boys and girls. The manager refused to remove the painting and kept it on display for two weeks until he realized that the crowd gathering in front of the window was preventing customers from entering the store. Millions of copies were sold and the paintinh became a symbol of new freedom. [The Century of ..., J. R. Peterson, 1999]

The reproductions were on various products: cigar bands, postcards, bottle openers, statuettes and candy boxes. The model was also popular as a tattoo. Moreover, September morn was the first act used in calendars [2].

Inspired by the commercial success of this painting, displays of images of naked women became increasingly common. Writing in 1957, Bob Considine considered September Morn the most controversial painting in United States history. [3]

Disney Needs To Respect Its History (On Disney Plus)

Disney continues to disregard that which made Disney Disney. @DisneyPlus started off great, but has become a disappointment to film historians and superfans. ✍️@RealENHolloway #DejaView #DisneyPlus $DIS

Please welcome back guest writer Ethan Holloway! Since its launch, Disney+ has offered hundreds if not thousands of titles available to stream to many Disney fans, but one big criticism of how Disney+ is run is the lack of legacy titles Disney has added over the past few years, so let me explain why Disney should use Disney+ as a way to preserve their legacy. Big and Small Screen Legends Die…

THIS IS YOUR LIFE: WILLIAM FRAWLEY

January 8, 1961

“This Is Your Life” was a documentary series broadcast on NBC radio from 1948 to 1952, and on NBC television from 1952 to 1961. It was originally hosted by its creator and producer Ralph Edwards. In the program, the host surprised guests and then took them through a retrospective of their lives in front of an audience, including appearances by colleagues, friends, and family. Edwards revived the show in 1971 and Joseph Campanella hosted a version in 1983. Edwards returned for various specials in the late 1980s.

Ralph Edwards (Host) - played himself in the Lucille Ball film Seven Days Leave (1942). Edwards hosted 339 episodes of the original series, from April 1950 to August 1961.

William Frawley (Guest of Honor) was born in 1887 and was already a Hollywood veteran when he was hired by Desi Arnaz in 1951 to play landlord Fred Mertz on “I Love Lucy.” After the series concluded he joined the cast of “My Three Sons” (shot at Desilu) playing Bub Casey. His final screen appearance before his death in March 1966 was a cameo on “The Lucy Show”.

GUEST APPEARANCES (in alphabetical order)

Lucille Ball employed Frawley in 1951, despite his history of alcoholism. She became a friend of Frawley, employing him right up to his final days. Despite being a regular cast member of “I Love Lucy” for 9 years, Frawley and Lucille Ball rarely shared more than a few moments of screen time without Ricky or Fred present. The one exception is “Staten Island Ferry” (above).

Tim Considine played Mike Douglas on “My Three Sons” between 1960 and 1965, appearing in every one of Frawley’s 165 episodes of the series. He was 20 years old when they first met.

Don Fedderson was the Executive Producer of “My Three Sons.”

Edna Frawley was the ex-wife of William Frawley and his former vaudeville partner (as Edna Louise Mueller). They divorced in 1927.

Don Grady played Robbie Douglas on “My Three Sons” between 1960 and 1972, appearing in every one of Frawley’s 165 episodes of the series. He was 16 years old when they first met.

Fred Haney was the General Manager of the Los Angeles Angels. Frawley was an inveterate baseball fan. For years, Haney was one of the most popular baseball figures in Los Angeles. During the show, he presented Frawley with a lifetime baseball pass.

Erskine Johnson was a Hollywood gossip columnist who also appeared on the radio and in motion pictures.

Eugenie Leontovich was a Russian-born actress and writer who starred on Broadway with Frawley in “Twentieth Century” in 1932. In 1958 she won a Tony Award.

Stanley Livingston played Chip Douglas on “My Three Sons” between 1960 and 1972, appearing in every one of Frawley’s 165 episodes of the series. He was 10 years old when they first met.

Fred MacMurray first appeared with Frawley in the films Car 99 (1935) and The Princess Comes Across (1936), before playing himself on “The Lucy Desi Comedy Hour” (above) in which the gang hunted Uranium in the desert. MacMurray was the star of “My Three Sons” and appeared in all 165 of Frawley’s episodes.

Walter Meyer was William Frawley’s agent.

TRIVIA

William Frawley was the only member of the “I Love Lucy” regular cast to be celebrated on “This Is Your Life.”

Although it is no surprise that Vivian Vance did not attend, it is rather surprising that Desi Arnaz is not on the guest list. Arnaz championed Frawley to the network and sponsor when they objected to hiring him due to his alcoholism.

William Frawley received this honor while concurrently acting on “My Three Sons”. In the episode that aired three days earlier (January 5, 1961), Bub had to go out of town and Mike is tasked to hire a temporary maid - except he hires a marriage broker (Anne Seymour) instead! In the episode that aired the following week, Bub (Frawley) thought he was being replaced by Steve’s cousin Sylvia (Mary Jackson).

The names of the honorees was not disclosed before the broadcast. In the cast of William Frawley, one newspaper hinted that the guest of honor was “a familiar face” - “a kind of next door neighbor character”.

In addition to Frawley’s appearance on “This Is Your Life” on January 8, 1961, he was also seen in the afternoon rerun of “I Love Lucy.”

In many markets, the episode was rerun on Sunday, January 15, 1961 and then again on August 16, 1961.

On May 28, 1961, radio and TV writer Bob Thomas asked Ralph Edwards for his top five episodes of “This is Your Life.” William Frawley’s tribute was NOT among them. But coincidentally, a separate article about William Frawley’s role as Bub on “My Three Sons” by Cynthia Lowry was printed alongside it.

The Chicago Tribune for October 14, 1961 printed this letter to the editor. Ball may have been referring to the “Lucy on Broadway” special that was planned, but never materialized. Frawley, Vance, and Arnaz were scripted to participate, should the project have been realized.

Hot Fuzz (2007) 10th Anniversary

Back in October of 2014, I made a quick review for Shaun of the Dead(2004) and tied it in for it’s 10th Anniversary. So now, I wanted to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of Hot Fuzz(2007), the second installment in Edgar Wright’s Three Flavors Cornetto Trilogy. The movie was released on February 14, 2007, but the North American release was on April 20th, so that’s why I’m posting this today. Nicholas Angel is a by-the-book police sergeant who is transferred from the city to the countryside town of Sanford. While most things seem quiet and neat, Angel becomes suspicious of the town’s punctuality, Neighborhood Watch, and his new precinct. With the help of Police Constable Danny Butterman, they both uncover the sinister plot of Sanford’s picturesque reputation.

This actually won’t be a review because this movie has already gotten so much praise, that I feel I wouldn't really be saying anything new about. But I will say that the film is one of the greatest homages to the action genre. In most buddy cop movies, a lot of the comedy comes from the relationship of the two characters and really nothing else. Everything else you see is pretty bland and paint by numbers. Even in The Other Guys(2010) and 21 Jump Street(2012), two buddy cop movies I really love, the case they’re working on isn’t in the forefront and everything regarding it is rushed and underdeveloped. Hot Fuzz makes sure to tie the two elements together, so the mystery that they’re trying to solve is genuinely interesting. That is why it’s such a great genre movie, its able to parody itself with a purpose, not just reference other action movies for the fun of it. In fact the comedy mostly comes from the visuals, like subtle references that’ll escape you on a first watch. You can have a field day trying to find every little Easter egg and visual gag. It’s no wonder why it’s everyone’s favorite of the Cornetto Trilogy.

-Jose Barr (4-20-2017)
