ポール・ニューマンを偲ぶ

無効

「幾つかの良いものは長く持たない」と歌われている。私達が嫌であろうと、人生は束の間で一時的なものだ。 今週、私達のアイコン的な存在で愛されていた映画スター、ポール・ニューマン氏(Paul Newman (1925-2008))が自宅で癌との闘病中、亡くなった。 しかし彼の影響と見本は、彼を知っている人や愛している人の中で生き続けるであろう。

貴方は彼とロバート・レッドフォード(Robert Redford)が出演した「明日に向かって撃て!」や「暴力脱獄」、「ハスラー2」や、最近ではトム・ハンクス(Tom Hanks)と出演した「ロード・トゥ・パーディション」などの映画で見たかも知れない。
若い人達にとっては、ディズニー・ピクサー映画の「カーズ」でドック・ハドソン(Doc Hudson)に命を吹き込んだ人かも知れない。 彼と女優のジョアン・ウッドワード(Joanne Woodward)は50年間連れ添い、ハリウッド結婚で最も長持ちしている結婚の一つだと言われている。 彼は生粋の博愛主義者で、全ての利益を慈善事業に寄付する食品商品のニューマンズ・オウン(Newman’s Own)を設立した。

Necessities on Walmart


Image source: www.images.businessweek.com
Wal-Mart Stores reported Thursday that sales in September were at the low-end of of its own forecast as its mostly paycheck-to-paycheck customers sustained to pull back on optional purchases other than clothing and groceries.

The No. 1 retailer said sales at its stores open at least a year, a key measure of retail performance known as same-store sales, rose 2.4% last month. Wal-Mart (WMT, Fortune 500) had forecast a gain of between 2% and 3%.

Wal-Mart said gains were led by grocery and clothing purchases, and that other discretionary purchases were soft.

For October, the company said it expects same-store sales to boost between 1% to 2%.

Ken Perkins, president of sales tracker Retail Metrics, said he expects other discount chains to report alike trends as more consumers clamp down.

“The financial crisis that’s taken place leading to a credit market freeze is clearly hurting an already soft spending environment,” Perkins said. “Today’s sales numbers will offer a clear-cut warning signal that we’re heading for a very difficult holiday sales season,” he said.

That’s a huge problem for retailers given that the gift-buying months of November and December account for more than half of merchants profits and sales for the year.

Indiana Jones

 Indiana Jones - Harrison Ford

The first choice for the role of Indiana Jones was Tom Selleck and not Harrison Ford, for George Lucas has already cast him repeatedly and wanted to avoid being labeled as another Scorsese who repeatedly cast Robert DeNiro. Spielberg also wanted to do a Bond film and did not know anything about Indiana Smith, yes, you heard me right. The first name chosen for the film was Indiana Smith which Spielberg disliked and changed to Jones after a casual suggestion from Lucas. The outline of the main character (Indiana Jones) was decided on long before any cameras rolled. The Fedora (Indiana’s Hat), was so iconic that if it fell or was accidentally blown off everything stopped till it was back on Ford’s head which caused a re-shoot of the scene.

Of Yesteryear’s Glamorous Stars to Today’s High-Profile, Casual Stars

null

I really don’t get what happened to Hollywood.

Sure, there still are “stars” in the area, but the definition of stars have greatly changed from the days when an actor or actress is considered unreachable (thus being called a “star”) to an actor (or actress) walking about in the area in a pair of large sunglasses, carrying a Starbucks coffee in one hand and a teeny tiny dog in another.

Back in the time when films were in black and white, when you want to be an actor, you have to have the talent & the looks. Nowadays, if you have The Package (big boobs, great asses & a badass personality to boot), and you appear on screen (TV or movie) no matter how long your screentime is, you are called an actor.
