FLAMIN’ HOT (2023)
Starring Jesse Garcia, Annie Gonzalez, Dennis Haysbert, Tony Shalhoub, Emilio Rivera, Matt Walsh, Pepe Serna, Bobby Soto, Jimmy Gonzales, Brice Gonzalez, Vanessa Martinez, Carlos Sanchez, Hunter Jones, Carlos Solórzano, Jayde Martinez, Fabian Alomar , Mario Ponce, Eric Marq, Alejandro Montoya Marín, Howard Ferguson Jr. and Lora Martinez-Cunningham.
Screenplay by Lewis Colick and Linda Yvette Chávez.
Directed by Eva Longoria.
Distributed by Hulu/Disney +. 99 minutes. Rated PG-13.
A couple of months ago there was a movie about making athletic shoes. Now is one about making corn snacks. Who says there are no new ideas out there? Wonder what film about business-oriented sensations in the 1980s and 1990s will be next? (That’s a rhetorical question. There is already another film coming soon called Tetris, about the creation of the popular early computer game, and another movie on the way about the creation of the BlackBerry.)
Flamin’ Hot tells the story of Richard Montañez, a worker on the maintenance staff of Frito-Lay in the 1980s and 90s who was able to help save the business when he came up with the bright idea of offering up spicy chips for the Mexican market. Not only did it make billions of dollars for the company, but it also offered Montanez entrance into the executive suites.
Of course, there has been some question whether Montañez’s story, which led to his memoir A Boy, a Burrito, and a Cookie, about the creation of the flavored chips is totally accurate. Flamin’ Hot is based on the book and accepts the word of its hero.
It’s a sweet story, a nice parable, breezily directed by actress (and first-time director) Eva Longoria, but it’s not nearly as substantial as Air was just a few months ago. Much like the Flamin’ Hot Cheetos that Montanez created his movie is puffy, tasty but slight, a nice little snack but one filled with empty calories.
It helps that it has an appealing lead. Jesse Garcia makes Montañez a smart and charming guy, with a loving wife and two cute (bordering on cutesy) kids. The film shows his youthful indiscretions and his determination as a family man to be true to his friends and community and to work his way up the corporate ladder.
He works hard – using his time and his own money – to come up with the brainstorm that will turn his life around.
One problem here is that despite the whole idea – and the reality – of the difficulty of a low-level employee getting an idea out into the world, Flamin’ Hot sometimes makes it seem surprisingly easy. Montañez is able to reach PepsiCo/Frito Lay CEO Roger Enrico (played by Tony Shalhoub) and easily convince him to not only listen but invest lots of money on the dream of a man who has no experience in business or marketing.
However, Flamin’ Hot never claims to be a gritty look at discrimination in the workplace. It’s only trying to be a feel-good narrative about a man finding his dream, and it does succeed on that level.
The film itself isn’t exactly Flamin’ Hot, but it’s caliente enough.

Kirk Douglas and Dewey Martin in The Big Sky (Howard Hawks, 1952)
Cast: Kirk Douglas, Dewey Martin, Elizabeth Threatt, Arthur Hunnicutt, Buddy Baer, Steven Geray, Henri Letondal, Hank Worden. Jim Davis. Screenplay: Dudley Nichols, Ray Buffum, DeVallon Scott, based on a novel by A.B. Guthrie Jr. Cinematography: Russell Harlan. Art direction: Albert S. D'Agostino, Perry Ferguson. Film editing: Christian Nyby. Music: Dimitri Tiomkin.
The Big Sky is a good Henry Hathaway or Budd Boetticher movie, except that it was made by Howard Hawks, from whom we have come to expect more. Hawks had just passed through one of the peak periods of his long career, with the sterling achievement of To Have and Have Not (1944), The Big Sleep (1946), and Red River (1948), and he was to return to form in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) and Rio Bravo (1959). But The Big Sky looks like a routine Western adventure in that company, even though it has some old Hawksian hands on board in screenwriter Dudley Nichols, cinematographer Russell Harlan, and composer Dimitri Tiomkin. It has the director's characteristic touches in places: overlapping dialogue and the usual male-bonding moments. Some of the latter, especially between Kirk Douglas's Jim Deakins and Dewey Martin's Boone Caudill, verge on the homoerotic, since Boone is given to wearing tight leather pants and both go around with their shirts flared open, making one scene look like it's taking place in a West Hollywood bar and not a St. Louis saloon. The absence of the usual "Hawksian woman," able to return wisecrack for wisecrack, is particularly noticeable. The only woman in the large cast is Elizabeth Threatt, playing an Indian woman named Teal Eye, who doesn't speak English. This was the only film appearance for Threatt, a model Hawks had spotted in a photograph. Her chief function in the film is to provide sexual tension among the members of a crew of fur traders making their way up the Missouri River and to spark a bit of rivalry between Jim and Boone. Teal Eye has been brought along on the expedition by Zeb Calloway (Arthur Hunnicutt) to act as a go-between with the Blackfoot tribe, to which she belongs. Also along for the journey is a somewhat addled Blackfoot known as Poordevil, played by Hank Worden, a regular member of John Ford's stock company who sometimes moonlighted for Hawks. The journey is interrupted by Indian attacks, river rapids, and the threats from a rival trading company, in scenes that are staged and shot well but never provide more than the routine excitement of the genre. Hunnicutt and Harlan received Oscar nominations for their work.

“Man Is Located Who Saw Missing Papers,” North Bay Nugget. April 23, 1932. Page 1.
----
Royal Commission on Hydro is Adjourned For Period of Two Weeks
----
SAW PAPERS IN NEW YORK
----
Attempt Made by newspapers to Get Photostat Copies of Fyle
---
Toronto, April 23 — (By Canadian Press)— The Toronto Globe today aid its staff correspondent at London, Ont., had located Kenneth McLeod, mentioned yesterday in the Royal Commission enquiry of Hydro, as one who knew the whereabouts of the "missing" John Aird Jr. fyle before it reappeared at the hearing Thursday.
The newspaper quoted McLeod as saying he had seen the fyle in Buffalo and that he had been asked if any offers of money had been made for it. He declined to say who had possession of the fyle when he saw it last but named a lawyer "Stein" as one who was said to have held it in New York. He said he had also seen it in Toronto.
Commission Adjourns
Toronto, April 23 - (By Canadian Tress) -The Royal Commission investigating certain transactions of the Ontario Hydro Power Commission and the payment of $425,000 lo John Aird Jr. by the Beauharnois Power Corporation, has concluded its labors for two weeks. An adjournment was made last night until May 9, owing to pressure of business on Supreme Court Judges at present. Five of them are ill, and Mr Justice J. K. Orde, Commissioner, declared he was unable to continue until that date.
Meanwhile, counsel concerned are busy digesting a mass of documentary and oral evidence surrounding the various phases of the investigation. The $125,000 payment, the payment of $50,000 to Mr. Aird by the Hydro for his services in connection with Madawaska and the purchase of the Dominion Power and Transmission Company of Hamilton for $22,000,000 by Hydro are being investigated.
At yesterday’s long session, G. Howard Ferguson, former premier of Ontario, and Canadian High Commissioner to London, concluded his evidence on the stand with a reiterated denial that any of the $125,000 had reached the coffers of the Conservative party and refused to even hazard a guess as to the Identity of the person who would have collected.

Henry Travers, Aubrey Mather, Oskar Homolka, Leonid Kinskey, Gary Cooper, S.Z. Sakall, Tully Marshall, Barbara Stanwyck, and Richard Haydn in Ball of Fire (Howard Hawks, 1941)
Cast: Gary Cooper, Barbara Stanwyck, Richard Haydn, Oskar Homolka, Henry Travers, S.Z. Sakall, Tully Marshall, Leonid Kinskey, Aubrey Mather, Dana Andrews, Allen Jenkins, Dan Duryea, Ralph Peters, Kathleen Howard, Mary Field, Charles Lane, Elisha Cook Jr. Screenplay: Charles Brackett, Billy Wilder, Thomas Monroe. Cinematography: Gregg Toland. Art direction: Perry Ferguson. Film editing: Daniel Mandell. Music: Alfred Newman.
If this intersection of the talents of Billy Wilder and Howard Hawks doesn't feel much like a typical film from either, lacking some of Wilder's acerbity and Hawks's ebullience, it's perhaps because it was made under the watchful eye of producer Samuel Goldwyn. In fact, it's surprising to find Hawks working for Goldwyn at all after the brouhaha over Come and Get It (1936) that led to Hawks's being fired and replaced with William Wyler. But Goldwyn wanted the writing team of Wilder and Charles Brackett to work for him, and Wilder wanted to work with Hawks. Like everyone else in Hollywood, Wilder wanted to direct, and he wound up shadowing Hawks on the set of Ball of Fire, learning from the best. Wilder later called the picture "silly," and so it is -- not that there's anything wrong with that: Some of the greatest pictures both Wilder and Hawks made were silly, viz. Some Like It Hot (Wilder, 1959) and Bringing Up Baby (Hawks, 1938). Ball of Fire never quite reaches the heights of either of those movies, partly because it's encumbered by plot and cast. The "seven dwarfs" of Ball of Fire are all marvelous character actors, but there are too many of them so the film sometimes feels overbusy. The gangster plot feels cooked-up, which it is. The musical numbers featuring Gene Krupa and his orchestra bring the movie to a standstill -- a pleasant one, but it saps some of the momentum of the comedy. Still, Barbara Stanwyck is dazzling as Sugarpuss O'Shea, performing a comic twofer in 1941 with her appearance in Preston Sturges's The Lady Eve, in which she enthralls Henry Fonda's character as efficiently as she does Gary Cooper's in Ball of Fire. There are those who think Cooper is miscast, but I think he's brilliant -- he knows the role is nonsense but he gives it his all.

‘FOLLIES’ TRIVIA
Sidney Guilaroff, Lucille Ball’s hair dresser, who takes responsibility for her famous ‘golden red’ for this movie, becoming her trademark color.
Although they appear in different segments, this is the only feature film collaboration between “I Love Lucy co-stars" Lucille Ball and William Frawley. Coincidently, Frawley's character in this film shares a striking similarity with his iconic character of Fred Mertz on “I Love Lucy.” In this film he plays a money-hungry curmudgeon of a landlord, much like the show. In the above photo, he appears with director Minnelli and co-star Brice.
The horse ridden by Lucille Ball is the Lone Ranger's Silver!
Lucille Ball was actually fired by Ziegfeld from his road company production of Rio Rita in the 1930s.
In February 1956, Lucy and Desi appeared on “MGM Parade” to promote their MGM film Forever Darling. The show also included footage of Lena Horne singing from Ziegfeld Follies.
Lucy also played a showgirl in pink in “Lucy Gets Into Pictures” (ILL S4;E19) aired on February 21, 1955. The scene was inspired by Ziegfeld’s legendary stage shows featuring beautiful women wearing elaborate costumes navigating long staircases. To solidify the comparison, Ricky says he is going to a meeting with Mr. Minnelli. Vincente Minnelli was one of the directors of Ziegfeld Follies.
Lucy Ricardo had previously cavorted around in a lampshade in the manner of a Ziegfeld girl in both the unaired pilot and “The Audition” (S1;E6).
Ziegfeld Follies includes a sketch for Red Skelton called “When Television Comes” aka “Guzzler’s Gin” in which a (future) television spokesman gets increasingly sloshed on his product. This sketch was an obvious influence on Lucy’s Vitameatavegamin routine in “Lucy Does a TV Commercial” (ILL S1;E30) aired on May 5, 1952.
Ziegfeld Girl Eve Whitney appeared on “I Love Lucy” episode “The Charm School” (ILL S3;E15). She used her own name for the character.
The Telegraph Boy in "A Sweepstakes Ticket" Arthur Walsh - appeared on “I Love Lucy” in “Lucy Has Her Eyes Examined” (ILL S3;E11) as Arthur ‘King Cat’ Walsh. He teaches Lucy how to jitterbug.
The first Judge in the “Pay the Two Dollars” James Crehan also played the Police Detective on “I Love Lucy in “The Great Train Robbery” (ILL S5;E5) first aired on October 31, 1955.
Porky, a voice on the telephone in “Number Please” Peter Lawford, played “Password” against Lucille Ball on September 24, 1964. At the time, Lawford was married to President Kennedy’s sister, Patricia. On November 26, 1968, Ball was a guest on “The Tonight Show” when Peter Lawford was sitting in for Johnny Carson.
Chorus Boy Bert May appeared as a solo dancer on “The Lucy Show” in “Lucy and Tennessee Ernie Ford” (TLS S5;E21) in February 1967.
In the dressing room, Lucy jokes with Fanny Brice, one of the funniest women in showbusiness. This was the only time Ball and Brice collaborated and was Brice’s last film.
Ziegfeld’s follies began on Broadway, so it was appropriate that the show featured past and future Broadway musical stars:
Lucille Ball ~ Wildcat (1960)
Carol Haney ~ The Pajama Game (1954)
Tommy Rall ~ Call Me Madame (1950)
Fanny Brice ~ The Ziegfeld Follies
Marion Bell ~ Brigadoon (1947)
Victor Moore ~ Anything Goes (1934)
There was a lot of material that was not filmed, but written and cast. Some of the original skits would have added “Lucy” performers Mickey Rooney, Ann Sothern, and Van Johnson to the cast.

The other thing we were thinking about today: abstract ceramics. Images here are from 'Shapes From Out of Nowhere: Ceramics from the Robert A. Ellison Jr. Collection,' published by @augusteditions A comprehensive overview of 20th-century non-representational ceramics from the earliest years of the modernist revolution to the postwar period through to the present, Shapes From Out of Nowhere features an unparalleled gathering of over 150 works from New York City-based collector Robert Ellison. It explores the featured artists’ rejection of symmetrical, utilitarian forms in clay in favor of the sculptural and abstract, and challenges the boundaries between function, non-function, design, drawing, painting, sculpture and architecture. Built over a period of 40 years, this singular collection reflects the personal and discerning eye of a collector focused on the exploration of shape and form. Artists include: Robert Arneson, Rudy Autio, F. Carlton Ball, Lynda Benglis, Kate Blacklock, Nina Borgia-Aberle, Alison Britton, Kathy Butterly, Peter Callas, Syd Carpenter, Christina Carver, Katherine Choy, Dieter Crumbiegel, Elisa D’Arrigo, Harris Deller, Richard DeVore, Kim Dickey, Gary DiPasquale, Ruth Duckworth, Raymon Elozua, Gary Erickson, Ken Ferguson, Amara Geffen, John Gill, Chris Gustin, Babs Haenen, Ewen Henderson, Wayne Higby, Margaret Israel, Howard Kottler, Anne Marie Laureys, Gareth Mason, John Mason, Leza McVey, Jim Melchert, Ursula Morley Price, Gertrud Natzler, Otto Natzler, Win Ng, William Parry, Ken Price, Aneta Regel, Mary Rogers, Stanley Rosen, Axel Salto, Paul Soldner, Rudofl Staffel, Chris Staley, Susanna Stephenson, Toshiko Takaezu, Kyoto Tonegawa, Robert Turner, Peter Voulkos, Frans Wildenhain, Marguerite Wildenhain, Betty Woodman, William Wyman and Arnold Zimmerman.
