— bias tag game *ੈ✩‧₊˚

rules: you're going to pick 10 of your biases (or as many biases as you have and then fill in the rest of the spots with idols you like) and number them 1-10. then answer the questions below! try not to look at the questions before you make your list! (thank u @the-boy-meets-evil for the tag 😘)

Wheein

Yoongi

Woozi

Jongho

Vernon

Seokjin

Bang Chan

Namjoon

Moonbyul

Bibi

1. between 7 and 5, who did you bias first?

Vernon for sure

2. between 2 and 6, who are you more attached to?

that's fucked up honestly. i'm not sure i can pick... maybe jin? but only cos he came first for me? idk idk this is so hard

3. if you were to spend the day with either 3 or 1, who would you choose and what would you do?

ooh... idk. probably woozi. mostly i'd just want to talk. maybe we could see a concert or something, too. that would be cool

4. what is your favorite physical feature about 9?

this is probably so weird, but i like her face shape? like her heart-shaped lil face with her cute chin? she's so pretty i think

5. what is your favorite part of 6's personality?

he's just so quietly lovely to people. i think it's such a nice quality to have and one i admire. he's unfailingly good to the people he cares about

6. if you were to tell 8 anything you wanted, what would you tell them?

this is why i can never meet him—i wouldn't know what to say. that he's worked so hard, that i'm glad he's taking time to figure out who the person kim namjoon is. that he's inspired me to do a bunch of things, but i hope that feels like wings and not like a weight... that i admire his passion for learning, that i am jealous of his table. that i want him to come see my calder cos i think he'd like it and please can he take me to kim heesoo's studio

7. between 1 and 2, whose closet would you raid?

yoongi cos i'm 100% sure i couldn't wear anything in wheein's closet i am like WAY taller than her and it would be comical

8. what is a style that you want to see 3 try?

idk, i know nothing about fashion just wear what you want

9. between 5 and 4, who are you closer to in height?

i am right in between the two of them! maybe a little closer to jongho's height

10. between 10 and 9, whose music do you like the best?

oh that's really hard. probably bibi? but i like both very much

thank you jess, that was hard tho!

FOR BOOK GROUP

‘ “I’m going to let you in on a secret: ‘No one here reads’ ”.’ (Walter, 2013, p.25).

…

‘Spending time on puzzles too I’m afraid.’

…

https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-anglo-saxons/marc-morris/9781529156980

‘I am halfway through, up to the mid 900s. Absolutely fascinating.’

…

https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-girl-on-the-train/paula-hawkins/9780552779777

‘I gather it is a psychological thriller! I haven’t got very far yet. A friend recommended it.’

…

https://www.waterstones.com/book/aarons-rod/d-h-lawrence/mint-editions/9781513270562

‘I've nearly finished Aaron's Rod by D H Lawrence and I'm struggling a bit, it doesn't flow and I don't know where it's going.’

…

https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-city-of-tears/kate-mosse/9781509806898

‘I couldn’t get on with ‘Beautiful Ruins’, so am now into ‘The City of Tears’ by Kate Mosse.’

…

https://www.waterstones.com/book/a-line-to-kill/anthony-horowitz/9781529156966

‘Brilliant. The author Horowitz stars himself as a crime writer character.’

...

MEANWHILE 2 OF OUR MEMBERS HAVE BEEN AWAY

‘However we aren’t reading LD but **** is on the next book group book. I’m mixing tween Beautiful Ruins and Circe still.’

https://www.waterstones.com/book/circe/madeline-miller/9781408890042

AND FROM OUR LEADER

https://www.waterstones.com/book/marking-time/elizabeth-jane-howard/9781529049435

‘Marking Time - the second Cazalet chronicle. Told mostly through the eyes of the teenagers. They are very naive, but also emotionally mature about their families. It is the beginning of the war, and they are confused about what is going on - no-one tells them anything.’

https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-canterbury-tales/geoffrey-chaucer/nevill-coghill/9780140424386

‘Also ploughing on with The Canterbury Tales. More brain exercise as it is in the original Middle English than enjoyable reading.’

If her parents find out what happened, they might decide we’re not suitable guides.

Viv goes on about the papers being ‘full of stuff about the hit and run.’ The boys hang out with Mark and Ollie at the playground where Jess meets them. Robert offers to be ‘her man’ to show her around but Ollie reminds him they have other things to contend with. Edna and her opinion on the Reynolds and trouble appearing to run in that family.

Today, thanks to “Hamilton,” Diggs, 35, may be the more established half of the “Blindspotting” duo, but that wasn’t the case when he moved back to Oakland after earning his theater degree from Brown. Though four years younger, Casal had already made a name for himself on the Bay Area spoken-word scene, from which he was plucked to appear on HBO’s “Def Poetry.”

Casal had set up a recording studio with the aim of finding other musicians to collaborate with, reaching out to Diggs on the strength of a demo CD the rapper had recorded in his college dorm room. The friendship took hold almost immediately: That first night, they created a few songs, which led to albums, live performances (with a group they dubbed the Getback) and countless sketches and online videos.

“Rafael was the most famous person I knew,” Diggs recalls. “He had really tapped into the YouTube audience pretty early.”

Casal’s videos caught the attention of Jess Calder (then Jess Wu). The young producer, partnered in Snoot with her husband, Keith Calder, had seen a couple of his spoken-word performances and was struck by both Casal’s charisma and the fact that he appeared to be a natural-born storyteller.

“In my mind, anyone who can tell a great story can definitely translate that to film,” explains the producer, who contacted Casal and proposed they meet for coffee. She asked if he’d ever thought about writing a screenplay.

“I’d thought about theater a lot, [but at that age] you’re trying to get $5 for something at McDonald’s. A movie is millions of dollars away,” says Casal. But he was definitely intrigued, and began fleshing out a character that was loosely autobiographical. Things started to click about a year and a half later, when the Snoot duo asked Casal to perform at a screening of their documentary “Thunder Soul” at a January 2009 presidential inauguration event in Washington, D.C. Casal couldn’t make it but suggested they book Diggs in his place.

“Daveed came and did like 15 minutes of freestyle at the event and kind of blew our minds,” recalls Keith Calder. “We were immediately like, ‘Rafael, the movie’s gotta be about the two of you!’”

And from that moment forward, “Blindspotting” became the story of two friends of different races forced to consider the world from one another’s viewpoints, all set against the rapidly changing Bay Area backdrop.

Casal hails from Berkeley, the city directly north of Diggs’ Oakland. But they both attended Berkeley High School and later split a four-bedroom house with two other friends for $1,200. “I can’t even imagine what that place would cost now,” Casal says.

Gentrification, fueled by the tech boom, has transformed the neighborhoods they once knew. “Seventh Street is just a BART station and a post office now, but in the ’30s and ’40s, that was one of the jazz and blues centers of the world,” Diggs says. The last of the local music venues, Esther’s Orbit Room (where Diggs’ brother had been a bartender), finally shut down in 2010. His mother and father (also born in Oakland) both had to move, priced out by the newcomers.

Though not a musical in the conventional sense, “Blindspotting” was born out of a desire to translate spoken-word poetry into cinema. “There are versions where it was damn near a poem the whole time,” Diggs says.

From 2009 onward, he and Casal worked on the script together, huddling over the same laptop since they had only a single licensed copy of Final Draft between them.

“We were trying to find a recipe for a world where verse could exist without it feeling like there’s a deliberate shift every time it goes into a number,” Casal explains. “The Bay Area is known for slang and for turn of phrase. It’s the evolution of pimp culture, so heightened language is already very prevalent in the way people relate to each other.”

For the next several years, Diggs and Casal spent their time driving up and down Interstate 5 between the Bay Area and Los Angeles, parking out front of wherever Snoot headquarters happened to be at the time and sleeping in their car if needed. They wrote draft after draft of “Blindspotting,” pitching the changes to the Calders while using Snoot’s facilities to work on music videos and other projects.

“I’ve always felt like our offices were a place where they should feel safe to create art,” says Jess Calder.

Before Diggs and Casal could complete a shooting version of the script, they were pulled away by other professional opportunities. Casal went off to teach verse-driven theater at the University of Wisconsin-Madison for three years. And, for Diggs, “Hamilton” happened.

“The thing about this business is you never know if something’s a break,” says Diggs. “I met Lin-Manuel Miranda because of a clerical error.” Diggs showed up for the same substitute teaching job as one of Miranda’s friends, Anthony Veneziale, who was also a rapper. They hit it off, and Veneziale invited Diggs to freestyle with his group, of which Miranda was a member. Later, when it came time to do an early reading of “Hamilton,” Miranda remembered Diggs and his rapid-fire delivery. “I was invited because I have this particular skill set that allows me to learn a lot of things very quickly,” recalls Diggs, who had just five days to memorize the show’s most demanding part. “I assumed they would replace me because they had plenty of Broadway performers to choose from.”

Except that Miranda didn’t replace Diggs, who spent nearly a year and a half with the production. “Before leaving ‘Hamilton,’ I made this comment to one of my agents,” Diggs recalls. “I was ready to go, but scared that I wouldn’t make any money again, and he said, ‘Don’t worry about that,’ and promptly booked my life with all these things.”

The day after his last “Hamilton” performance in mid-2016, Diggs found himself shooting the movie “Wonder,” starring Julia Roberts. The following week, he began working on ABC’s “Black-ish.” That was swiftly followed by a recurring role on “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” which had to be juggled amid a long-planned national tour with his experimental rap group, Clipping.

Into the midst of this whirlwind came the moment for which Diggs and Casal had long been waiting. Last March, the Snoot producers told them they had the greenlight to make “Blindspotting,” provided the duo could get their script in shape to shoot in June.

“What if I move to L.A. in two days and I write it for a month?” Casal recalls asking — and that’s exactly what he did, undertaking a page-one overhaul while Diggs’ fledgling screen career kept him busy.

“I was on airplanes every other day,” says Diggs, “so really the only through line were these midnight phone calls from Rafael to talk about this thing we’d been talking about for a decade.”

Excited about the prospect of finally making the movie, Diggs kept a rare 25-day window open in June for the shoot. Casal managed to get the rewrite done in four weeks. Reaching out to another old friend, they brought in director López Estrada, who immediately began pre-production.

The project’s Oakland focus attracted some production talent whom the producers normally couldn’t afford, including DP Robby Baumgartner, who had worked in the lighting department for Spike Lee, Paul Thomas Anderson and Alejandro González Iñárritu, and who brought the lighting crew from “Moonlight” aboard.

“We suddenly had this amazing team of people from the Bay Area,” says Diggs. “Doing something with your friends at a high level, that’s a dream.”

After production wrapped, Snoot submitted a rough cut to Sundance, which recommended the music-driven film for a Dolby Family Sound Fellowship. “Blindspotting” is one of two 2018 Sundance selections to have earned the generous post-production grant, making it possible for the filmmakers to upgrade their mix in time for its festival debut. (Past recipients of the grant include “Mudbound” and “Beasts of the Southern Wild.”)

Thanks to the grant, Diggs, Casal and other members of the production team — including López Estrada and the Calders — spent late December camped out on the Paramount Pictures lot on the same Technicolor stage where Michael Bay mixes his “Transformers” films.

On the same day of Variety’s visit, Diggs and Casal wrote a short piece of original music to replace a few seconds of temp score. Since they came up with the cue themselves, that means they can later expand it into a full-blown song for the soundtrack.

It’s the kind of on-the-fly challenge that has fueled the duo’s creative partnership for more than a decade — though “Blindspotting” is the first time they’ve been able to combine their writing, performance and musical talents to such a degree.

“As an artist, the only thing you ever want to do is something that requires every part of yourself,” Diggs says. “And it is so rare when that happens.” (x)

LOVE the insight as to how this all came together.

Netflix’s One Night in Miami – an Idealized Meeting of Icons – Debuts Jan. 15

Edited by Naomi Richard

On the evening of February 25, 1964, four icons of sports, entertainment and activism celebrated one of the greatest upsets in boxing history in a modest motel room in Miami. After claiming the World Heavyweight title for the first time, Cassius Clay (Eli Goree) — who would soon change his name to Muhammad Ali — got together with three friends: human rights activist Malcolm X (Kingsley Ben-Adir), music superstar Sam Cooke (Leslie Odom Jr.) and football legend and emerging action-movie hero Jim Brown (Aldis Hodge).

One Night In Miami… is a fictional imagining of the historic night these towering figures spent together. Unbeknownst to the others, Malcolm X, who is about to embark on a bold new undertaking that will put him in grave personal danger, has arranged the gathering in the hope of winning Clay’s support. As the evening progresses in surprising ways, the four men engage in passionate debate about their roles as celebrities and leaders at a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement.

Directed by Academy Award-winner Regina King and written by Kemp Powers based on his award-winning play, One Night In Miami is set on the verge of the momentous political and cultural upheaval of the 1960s. Today, more than 50 years later, the vital urgency of these trailblazers’ conversations — about racial injustice, about what it means to be successful as a person of color, and concerning the social responsibilities that come with that success — still resonate.

One Night In Miami also stars Joaquina Kalukango, Nicolette Robinson, Beau Bridges and Lance Reddick. The producers are Jess Wu Calder, Keith Calder and Jody Klein. Executive producers are Regina King, Kemp Powers, Paul O. Davis and Chris Harding.

The idea for his play came to Kemp Powers when he learned that after Cassius Clay’s first defeat of Sonny Liston, the 22-year-old Clay went back to the Hampton House Motel in Overtown, Florida — an oasis for African Americans visiting segregated Miami — where he spent an evening in conversation with friends Malcolm X, Sam Cooke and Jim Brown.

“It was just one paragraph in a book I was reading about the intersection of sports and the Civil Rights Movement, but it kind of blew my mind,” recalls Powers. “I had to go back and read it a few more times. And then I couldn’t get it out of my mind. After all, these were four of my heroes.”

Powers says he became obsessed with learning everything he could about how these four men knew each other and why they converged in Malcolm X’s motel room that night. He read multiple biographies and dug up interviews to understand who they were and what their connection was. Powers reasoned, “The more I learned about them, the more it seemed natural they would have been drawn to one another. They were unapologetic in their art. They were unapologetic in their political beliefs. And in the early 1960s to be a free, unapologetic Black man was quite a rarity.”
