my favourite thing about Glass Onion is that Benoit Blanc is married to Hugh Grant because of course he is

I like that post that’s like ‘they both call each other Blanc’ but Benoit calls him Phillip (unless thats only for home? Phillip calls him Blanc because there’s a potential client there? anyway-)
I propose that Phillip is Hugh Grant’s characters last name (before they got married, if they are - or maybe they have joint last names? Or just kept their last names for professional reasons? Anyway-)
Maybe it’s because they met through work and it just stuck, maybe Phillip’s first name is Benjamin or something and they can’t have all their friends calling both of them Ben - either way I think them calling each other by their last names is cute
Tldr: Phillip is Blanc’s partner’s last name

Welcome to Letters2fiction!
The concept here is to send in a question or a letter request, and you’ll get a response from your fictional character of choice, from the list below. Please stick to the list I’ve made, but of course, you can ask if there’s some other characters I write for, I don’t always remember all the shows, movies or books I’ve consumed over the years and I’m sure I’m missing a lot 😅

they totally strike me as that kind of couple who have been together for so long they just call each other by bizarre pet names, but my personal explanation to why Phillip calls Blanc by his last name is that when they first met they had no idea it would turn romantic so they would of course call each other by their last names but then when things did turn romantic Phillip kind of missed the right moment to switch from “Blanc” to “Benoit”. Maybe they were flirting and Blanc said something charming and called him “Phillip” for the first time and Phillip kind of fumbled, as Hugh Grant characters tend to do, and then he tried to be cool about it like "Anyways Blanc would you like to get out of here for some. Drinks? Gay drinks? Perhaps even gay dinner?” And he had to keep doing that to save face and now he’s stuck calling his husband by his last name forever to avoid loving mockery

bridget jones’s diary
send me a Hugh Grant film and I'll tell you why he was gay in it
okay I'm gonna talk about Bridget Jones AND The Edge of Reason since obviously he's playing the same character.. also might I just say how very iconic of them in Bridget Jones' Baby it was to just say "daniel cleaver? nah he's dead" and then never mention him again.
anyway okay first of all I like when he says "aw fuck me I love Keats" and I like when he calls Michelangelo a poof and I like that Bridget's gay friend calls him cute and also the fact that when he and Bridget were fucking I'm 100% certain she pegged him at least once.
Anyway so like he's definitely bisexual bc in the second film he mentions sleeping with two separate men (though admittedly one of those was meant as a transphobic joke and another as a 'haha all public school boys fuck each other' joke but lets just GO WITH IT okay??). Also in the first film when he and Colin Firth's eyes meet across a crowded room,, I know it's meant to be hatred bc of Cleaver fucking Darcy's wife but that was a Charged Moment and I've been waiting literally my entire life for them to just make a rom com starring the two of them not as romantic rivals but as romantic Leads like i know they're both old and crusty now and Hugh Grant only plays slimy characters these days but I am begging. I am Begging.
I don't have anything more to say but I have two unrelated notes to make about the Bridget Jones films:
Sally Phillips is literally the Only character in the entire film. the Only One except maybe for Colin Firth's bald spot
In the second film when that girl's like 'actually im a lesbian and in love with you' and she kisses Bridget: Bridget was CLEARLY into it and I think she should've just got together with her instead of agreeing to marry Darcy bc quite frankly He Is A Tory and they're broken up by the third film anyway.

‘O.C. and Stiggs’ And The Utterly Unreleasable, Mind-Roasting Summer Of Robert Altman by Keith Phipps
Tumblr media
[This month, Musings pays homage to Produced and Abandoned: The Best Films You’ve Never Seen, a review anthology from the National Society of Film Critics that championed studio orphans from the ‘70s and ‘80s. In the days before the Internet, young cinephiles like myself relied on reference books and anthologies to lead us to film we might not have discovered otherwise. Released in 1990, Produced and Abandoned was a foundational piece of work, introducing me to such wonders as Cutter’s Way, Lost in America, High Tide, Choose Me, Housekeeping, and Fat City. (You can find the full list of entries here.) Over the next four weeks, Musings will offer its own selection of tarnished gems, in the hope they’ll get a second look. Or, more likely, a first. —Scott Tobias, editor.]
Robert Altman was happiest working in the shadows. That’s true of his relationship with Hollywood—where he never fit in, except as the town’s designated maverick—but also true of his relationship with other movies. Altman always had a lot to say about his craft, even if he tended to treat interviews as opportunities to reiterate points he made many times. One talking point he returned to, including when I spoke to him in 2000, is the notion that influence could work backwards. “The directors who’ve probably had the most influence on me,” he said, “were probably names I don’t even know, because I looked at a film that was really bad and I would say, ‘Hmm, I’m never going to do that.’ That’s probably the most direct positive influence on the work I do. I don’t even know who those directors are.”
When talking about Altman, it’s always worth talking about what he was trying not to do as much as what he hoped to accomplish. M*A*S*H can be seen as a war film determined to show viewers what other films would not, from the bloody mess left after battles end to the long stretches of wartime boredom to the sometimes ugly sides of the lifesaving heroes. McCabe and Mrs. Miller is a Western without heroes. The Long Goodbye lets a noir play out in the sunny, counterculture-filled ‘70s Los Angeles.
All of which sort of explains how Altman came to direct the teen comedy O.C. and Stiggs—but only sort of. Shot in 1983—while films like Screwballs, Private School, and Losin’ It rolled out in multiplexes across America—it should have been released to catch the wave of raunchy teen comedies stirred by National Lampoon’s Animal House in 1978 and made into a tsunami by Bob Clark’s Porky’s three years later. But Altman was far from on board with the T&A-filled spirit of the times. When approached by producer Peter Newman, he recalled thinking, in an interview conducted for the film’s DVD release, “This isn’t my kind of film. I don’t know how to do these kinds of films.’ But that was a time when these teenage films were kind of in…mode. And I hated them. I just hated them. And I thought, here’s a chance to do a satire on something that I feel strongly about.” “I went after it,” he added, in a telling choice of phrase, “in that matter.”
Tumblr media
He at least had slightly more prestigious source material from which to draw, if only slightly. Though the film doesn’t bear the National Lampoon name, its title characters, a pair of prank-happy Arizona teens, come from the magazine’s pages. Created by Lampoon writers Ted Mann and Tod Carroll, Oliver “Out Of Control” Ogilvie and Mark Stiggs became favorite recurring characters in the Lampoon’s last gasp of relevance in the early ’80s. Their stories also embodied the changes to the magazine’s spirit in the Reagan era, when the always freewheeling publication started punching down far more often than it punched up. Two children of privilege, the O.C. and Stiggs of its pages enjoy an adolescence filled with excess, abuse, and casual racism and misogyny. Their adventures climaxed with the novella-length “The Utterly Monstrous, Mind-Roasting Summer of O.C. and Stiggs,” which took up the entirety of the Lampoon’s 1982 issue.
It also provided the backbone to Altman’s film, courtesy of a screenplay credited to Mann and Donald Cantrell. In Hunter Stephenson’s extensive history/appreciation of the film, Mann notes that Carroll worked on the script but took his name off the movie. Altman then reworked the script and allowed it to drift further from the original vision thanks to a typically improvisation-friendly set. Really, he had no choice. Altman was never known for being overly respectful of screenplays, but O.C. and Stiggs plays as if he’s compelled to actively work against the source material while still following the outline of the plot. There’s a brutal wit to Mann and Carroll’s stories*, but the teenage nihilism at their core is hard to square with Altman’s sensibility, which could be unsparing of human behavior while still maintaining an underlying respect for human decency.
As such, Wino Bob, the boys’ “Negro derelict” friend, is given all the dignity a character named Wino Bob can hope to have, thanks to a heartfelt performance from Melvin Van Peebles. The heroes’ attempt to shame a pair of teachers in a gay relationship becomes the occasion for one of the teachers to say he doesn’t care. And the film’s central conflict between O.C. and Stiggs’ and the Schwab family, a grotesque suburban clan that’s grown rich from insurance sales, becomes a battle between haves and have-nots, with O.C. now motivated to exact revenge on the Schwabs thanks to the cancellation of his grandfather’s (Ray Walston) health insurance, a development that will send O.C. off to live with relatives in Arkansas at the end of the summer unless something can be done. What emerged looks more like an Altman movie than, say, Fraternity Vacation, but it’s a strange beast nonetheless, a Brundlefly-like hybrid that’s not really equipped to live in any known movie habitat. There’s too much overlapping dialogue and restless camerawork, to say nothing of the virtual absence of nudity, for Porky’s fans, too many outrageous pranks for the arthouse.
Tumblr media
That might explain why MGM didn’t know what to do with the movie, shelving it after disastrous screenings in 1984, which came and went without a release. So did 1985. And 1986. And though the film apparently played some theaters in 1987, it didn’t reach New York until 1988, when it appeared at Film Forum as part of a Dennis Hopper retrospective. Most viewers who encountered it did so on VHS in the late ‘80s, when it already looked like a lost film from a bygone time, the T&A comedies of the early ‘80s having given way to the more sympathetic efforts of another Lampoon alum, John Hughes. (If nothing else, Jon Cryer, who plays the much-tormented Randall Schwab, already looked noticeably younger in his feature debut by the time saw the light of day.)
Yet while O.C. and Stiggs will deservedly never be mentioned near the top of any Altman ranking of the director’s film (or, if we’re being honest, too close to the middle), there’s nothing else quite like it. Both Daniel H. Jenkins and Neil Barry (O.C. and Stiggs, respectively) make for appealing leads, embodying their characters’ screw-it-all, question everything, respect nothing teenage attitude without making them seem heartless. (That spirit in two lines: “I want you to call me Stiggs. It sounds more ridiculous.”) And for every obvious flaw, there’s some compensating element. A big wedding set piece doesn’t really go anywhere, but it does feature a charming dance sequence between Jenkins and Cynthia Nixon (both of whom would stay in Altman’s orbit for a while). The comedy falls flat in the action finale, but it does feature a bizarre, self-parodying performance from Dennis Hopper as a Vietnam vet for whom the war never ended. Some sections drag, but Altman throws in a winning concert scene from King Sunny Ade. Also featured: Jane Curtin as an inventive alcoholic mom for whom every object can double as a place to hide booze, a supremely chill Martin Mull, Bob Uecker, and a cameo from Hal Phillip Walker (Thomas Hal Phillips), the third-party candidate whose cryptic proclamations filled the background of Nashville.
It’s a film that time has only made more intriguing, thanks to its unmistakable Altman-ness, its undeniable eighties-ness, and the uneasy alliance the film forces between the two. Altman “went after” the ‘80s teen movie, and though the genre barely noticed his attack, the resulting film remains a disjointed but spirited critique of Reagan-era values and a salute to the teen spirit of subversion, even if that subversion took the form of driving around in a suped-up car with monster truck tires on it just to annoy the squares.
Tumblr media
The film first came to my attention, years after its release, via my friend Todd Hanson, a gifted writer for The Onion whose pop culture enthusiasms had a way of getting passed from co-worker to co-worker. When I got the chance to speak to Altman, I knew I had to devote at least a few of my previous 20-minute slot to what had by then become an office-wide obsession. “I was attacking the teen mentality of the audience,” he said, “and I just was a little too… Nobody got it.”
Looking back, it might be that not enough tried. At that low ebb of Altman’s commercial fortunes—post-Popeye, pre-Player—he’d become too easy to take for granted and an odd, flawed, but undeniably one-of-a-kind film could be dismissed as just another ‘80s misstep. Maybe it seemed like we’d have Altman movies forever, and the era in which studios might somehow find themselves funding impossible-to-define oddities that doubled as single-finger salutes to the bad taste of their intended audience would never end.
* In an odd case of two geniuses drawing inspiration from an unlikely source, Mann and Carroll’s stories also inspired D.R. and Quinch, an early writing effort from comics great Alan Moore.

Previously, the studio was a subsidiary of Marvel Entertainment until The Walt Hollywood Company reorganized the companies in August 2015.
Who married Sleeping Beauty?
Prince Phillip tells his father that he has met a young woman in the forest and that he will marry her, against his father’s will. Unbeknownst to Hubert, this young woman is Aurora under the disguise of “Briar Rose”, the fake identity the fairies have given her to protect her from Maleficent.
What does Mulan’s name mean?
In the original poem, the heroine’s name is “Mulan.” According to the Chinese- English dictionary, the name means “lily magnolia.” Mulan is often given a last name, “Hua,” which means “flower.” The Chinese pinyin spelling of the name is “Hua Mu-Lan.”
What is Hollywoodland Resort?

Okay, imagine you’ve just been elected British Prime Minister… how do you celebrate this once-in-a-lifetime victory? The answer is simple: You absolutely must dance to The Pointer Sisters’ 1984 hit “Jump (For My Love),” just like Hugh Grant’s character in the 2003 comedy Love Actually. This isn’t up for debate… and you’re going to love it.
But actually, Grant didn’t particularly love filming that particular scene. Not even a little bit. And in the new BBC documentary Hugh Grant: A Life On Screen, he reveals exactly what he thought about the proposed dance scene when he first heard about it. Take it away, Hugh Grant:
“I certainly dreaded filming it and [director Richard Curtis] kept saying, ‘Don’t you think we’d better rehearse the dancing scene’ and I’d say, ‘Uh yes I’ve just gotta learn some lines… my ankle hurts today.’ So it was never rehearsed.”
In the documentary, Grant describes his predicament like this:
“Imagine, you’re a grumpy 40-year-old Englishman, it’s seven in the morning, you’re stone-cold sober and it’s like, ‘Okay Hugh if you’d just like to freak out now.’ It was absolute hell.”
Think he’s joking? He’s not. Director Richard Curtis even confirms the story:
“We left it to the final day but as always he’d actually really rehearsed and had three or four little jokes up his sleeve and [he] turned out, from his dirty behavior in discos across London, to be quite good at dancing.”
At the time, Hugh Grant wasn’t exactly shy about expressing his displeasure about the scene: In fact, it sounds like pretty much everyone on set knew he was dreading his mandatory twerk-out. In the same BBC documentary, actor Colin Firth says:
“I do remember him making a terrible fuss about the dance.”
And much like the rest of us, Firth sounds pleased that Grant ultimately came around and gave the dance his all. Firth even admits,
“I think it’s the highlight of the film for a lot of people.”
So why did Hugh Grant hate the idea of the scene so much? As he explained to People in January 2018:
“Well, I could see that it might work, but I never understood it technically.”
He goes on to reveal,
“I kept saying to Richard, ‘Okay look, I got the radio on in my bedroom and I’m dancing, fine, but then I start to dance through the whole 10 Downing Street. Where’s the music coming from and how does it cut off at the end?”
According to Grant, Curtis just replied,
“Oh, don’t worry about it, it’s just a film world.”
Meanwhile, Curtis says Grant’s apprehensions evaporated once he actually started dancing… although his performance proved rather problematic from an editing standpoint. Curtis says Grant wasn’t just dancing in the scene he also ended up singing to the music, karaoke style. In 2017, the director told The Daily Beast:
“[Grant] didn’t like the song it was originally a Jackson 5 song, but we couldn’t get it so he was hugely unhappy about it. We didn’t shoot it until the final day and it went so well that when we edited it, it had gone too well, and he was singing along with the words. When you edit a dance sequence like that, it’s going to be a third of the length, and the bit he’s singing the words to isn’t going to be the bit of that moment, so it was incredibly hard to edit.”
It sounds like Grant has come to ultimately appreciate the scene. In a 2018 interview with People, he acknowledged that:
“People do like it. I’m proud of the fact I did it without any stimulants.”
These days, it seems like everyone fondly remembers Hugh Grant’s bold booty-shake. Unsurprisingly, that scene was spoofed in Love Actually’s 15-minute, so-called sequel… which aired as a Red Nose Day charity special in 2017. How did Richard Curtis manage to write such a thing? As he explained to The New York Times:
“I tried to think about what was the most memorable thing in each story [… like] Hugh Grant as the prime minister doing a dodgy dance and giving a speech […].”
In the mini-sequel, Grant dances to Drake’s “Hotline Bling” but with considerably less grace this time around. In fact, he ends up rolling down the stairs and evidently hurts himself in the process. Hey, that’s what you get for turning your back on The Pointer Sisters.

Best Hollywood Celebrities ever, Must Watch English Celebrities, The Love Actually Scene Hugh Grant Actually Hated Filming.
Some of Hollywood’s animated family films have drawn fire for being accused of having sexual references hidden in them, among them The Little Mermaid (1989), Aladdin (1992), and The Lion King (1994). Instances of sexual material hidden in some versions of The Rescuers (1977) and Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) resulted in recalls and modifications of the films to remove such content.

This New Barista Competition Movie Can’t Possibly Be Real…Can It?
In what can only be described as art imitating life imitating art imitating life, a new movie about barista competitions is about to be released. It’s called Higher Grounds. We are mostly sure it’s real, but not completely sure.
It all began with a screengrab from Reddit sent to us via text by a longtime Sprudge scooper. It was an invite to an advanced private screening of the “coffee-infused comedy.”
“Is this real?” asked the accompanying message. We didn’t know, but we went ahead and made this kind of troll-y Instagram post about it anyway. (We love the barista competitions. We joke because we love.)

this movie sounds great but everyone knows there’s no cash prize
A post shared by Sprudge (@sprudge) on Nov 12, 2019 at 3:51pm PST
As per the invite, which is in a very small font and looks frankly unprofessional, the synopsis of Higher Grounds is as follows:
Coffee aficionado Jo (Kate Nash, GLOW) is doing her best to stay afloat running her own coffee shop alongside a band of unpredictable colleagues, but nothing seems to be going her way. She can make a latte better than anyone, but her customers have trouble getting past one thing: her coffee shop is vegan. Drowning in debt and with everything on the line, Jo and her team of misfits gear up as the underdogs for the World Barista Championships, where she’ll face her “full fat full cream” archrival Rudy (Toby Sebastian, Game of Thrones). Jo will finally have a chance to prove herself in the dairy-dominated world of coffee, and, most importantly, win the big cash prize.
The case also includes Saoirse-Monica Jackson of Derry Girls, Hugh Dennis and Jenny Rainsford of Fleabag, and VEEP’s Sally Phillips (you know her as Finnish Prime Minister Minna Häkkinen) playing what we can only hope is a Nordic character loosely based on either Koppi’s Anne Lunell, or longtime WBC judge Sonja Bjork Grant.
Beyond this screen grab, sourced from Reddit, there’s no real information about the movie anywhere on the internet. No IMDB page, no website, and not a single link or piece of information associated with the film from any of the cast or crew. There is no mention of it on the website for the Arclight Theatre in Pasadena, where the screening is supposedly taking place tonight (perhaps because it is a private screening). But in a Kenya AA juicy twist, the Arclight has confirmed a private screening tonight at that time at that location for an “untitled” film. Could this be Higher Grounds?
Assuming this feature is real, we have a few nits we’d like to pick. First and foremost, there is no “big cash prize” in barista competitions. WBC winners can certainly go on to earn good money on the consultant and brand ambassador circuit, but not in form of a competition purse. That’s just Hollywood hokum. The other weird plot point of the movie revolves around alternative milks, which of course, aren’t allowed (stupidly, we might add).
Flawed though the fundamental elements of the plot may be, we still very much want Higher Grounds to be a real motion picture. Sally Phillips is a treasure, and seeing her in any coffee competition-related role would be an absolute dream. Add in the bank teller guy from Fleabag a guy who got GoT, and you’ve got a picture worth seeing, if in fact it’s real.
Here’s one thing I can say for sure, and you can hold me to this: if this movie exists, Sprudge will host a public screening. If that means I personally have to come out of pocket to get this film screened at a local indie theatre then so be it.
If you have any information on Higher Grounds or are Sally Phillips, please PLEASE contact Sprudge immediately. This movie might be real, it might not, but our interest is incredibly real, and that counts for something.

So last night I dreamed that I was watching Struck by Lightning, but in this version it was mixed with A Series of Unfortunate Events.
Carson was still the protagonist, and he remained exactly the same, but there was no grandmother character, and instead he had two sisters (one two years older than him and the other an infant--essentially Violet and Sunny, but they had different names). The movie opened with the whole family being shown as close and happy, and just having a chill night hanging out together at home, and then the phone rang, and the dad (played by Hugh Grant) left the room to answer it. The person calling was from a shady, top secret organization that he used to be a part of (VFD, but an even more mafia-like version of it). He had apparently run away from the organization and gone into hiding years ago, before any of the kids were born (possibly before he met his wife?), but now they've finally tracked him down, and they're out for revenge, because no one is allowed to leave the VFD, and anyone who does instantly becomes branded an enemy and a target. So now with his cover blown, Mr. Phillips panics, and instead of explaining the situation to his family and taking measures to protect them, he just runs away again, abandoning his family and leaving them all at risk with no warning.
So Mrs. Phillips of course reacts by drowning her sorrows in alcohol and prescription pills, and the would-be Violet takes on the responsibility of taking care of both her mom and little sister while Carson finishes high school. And every day when Carson comes home from school, he takes over looking after the family while Violet goes to work. This is incredibly frustrating for Carson for several, obvious reasons, one of which being that Violet is his best friend as well as his sister, and not only does he rarely get to see her anymore because of their conflicting schedules, but, while she is able to look at their family’s situation from a more pragmatic and functional point of view, he gets the brunt of the emotional side effects of being walked out on and having adult responsibilities heaped onto him, and that disconnect between them makes him feel like he’s going through all this alone.
Meanwhile, he's still trying to start a literary magazine and get into Northwestern, and on top of that, he now also has to deal with shady people hanging around trying to find his dad.
When Carson and his dad eventually have dinner together (because April's storyline is still the same and she doesn't know Mr. Phillips also has two daughters), he’s justifiably angry with him for leaving. And he just gets angrier when he learns the real reason his dad left, and when he sees that he doesn’t even really seem that sorry about it, since Mr. Phillips’ own self-preservation takes priority over ensuring his family’s safety (this guy’s kind of a mash-up of canon Neal Phillips and Aunt Josephine). So Carson does what his dad should have done, and puts all his energy toward protecting his family and stopping the VFD, with help from Violet and a handful of former VFD members they managed to rally.
So more shit happens--some SBL related, some ASOUE related. The Phillips’ house burns down at some point, because of course it does, and Carson uses his journalistic and blackmail skills to try to take the VFD down, all the while still masterminding Clovergate. He still ends up getting killed by lightning, but it happens in the middle of the movie, and it was orchestrated by the VFD (because they have Thanos on their side and he can use his metal glove or whatever it is to control the weather, and idk what he's even doing here because I've never watched an Avengers movie in my life and I’m pretty sure that's not even how his glove works, but whatever, there are no rules in my unconscious mind).
Violet witnesses Carson’s untimely death, and is devastated. And from that point on, she takes over as the film’s protagonist. Now it’s up to Violet to try to save the family, which is difficult, because Carson knew more about the VFD than she did, and he died before he could tell her everything he knew. And Mr. Phillips isn’t being of any help, Mrs. Phillips won’t sober up or take the situation seriously, most everyone else Violet goes to for help won’t take it seriously, either, the VFD rebels are seriously outnumbered and about ready to admit defeat, and the baby can’t even walk yet so Violet has to carry her everywhere.
The dream shifted into something else before I could see how the movie ended, but it was wild, fam.
Another interesting thing about it was that there was a lot of red. Like, you know how SBL and ASOUE both have blue and gray tints to the screen throughout? This movie's was more orange, like a war or apocalypse movie, and most of the characters wore colors with red in them (lots of orange and reddish brown, and Violet alternated between scarlet and pink), so Carson stood out in every scene he was in because he was the only person on the screen wearing blue.
