A federal judge in Wisconsin ruled Wednesday that a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the father of a man shot and killed by Kyle Rittenhouse during a protest in 2020 can proceed against Rittenhouse, police officers and others.
The father of Anthony Huber, one of two men shot and killed by Rittenhouse, filed the lawsuit in 2021, accusing officers of allowing for a dangerous situation that violated his son's constitutional rights and resulted in his death. Anthony Huber's father, John Huber, also alleged that Rittenhouse, who was 17 at the time of the shootings, conspired with law enforcement to cause harm to protestors. John Huber is seeking unspecified damages from city officials, officers and Rittenhouse.
U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman on Wednesday dismissed motions filed by Rittenhouse and the government defendants seeking to dismiss the civil rights lawsuit.
In allowing the case against Rittenhouse and the others to proceed, the judge said that Anthony Huber's death "could plausibly be regarded as having been proximately caused by the actions of the governmental defendants."
Rittenhouse attorney Shane Martin said in a phone interview that it's important to note the ruling doesn't address the merits of the case, it only allows it to proceed to the next phase.
"While we respect the judge's decision, we do not believe there is any evidence of a conspiracy and we are confident, just as a Kenosha jury found, Kyle's actions that evening were not wrongful and were undertaken in self defense," Martin said.
Attorneys and private investigators for John Huber spent over 100 hours trying to locate Rittenhouse, tracking down addresses in seven states before they found the home of his mother and sister in Florida. The lawsuit was served on Rittenhouse's sister, who said that he wasn't home. Adelman said that was sufficient to qualify as being served.
Rittenhouse had argued that the case against him should be dismissed because he wasn't properly served with the lawsuit. Adelman dismissed that, saying that Rittenhouse "is almost certainly evading service."
"Rittenhouse has been deliberately cagey about his whereabouts," Adelman wrote. "Although he denies living in Florida, he does not identify the place that he deems to be his residence."
Attorneys for the law enforcement and government officials being sued did not immediately return emailed messages seeking comment.
The ruling puts Anthony Huber's family "one step closer to justice for their son's needless death," said Anand Swaminathan, one of the attorneys for parents John Huber and Karen Bloom.
"The Kenosha officials that created a powder keg situation by their actions tried to claim that they cannot be held accountable for their unconstitutional conduct; that argument was soundly rejected today," Swaminathan said in a statement.
Rittenhouse was charged with homicide, attempted homicide and reckless endangering for killing Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum and wounding a third person with an AR-style semi-automatic rifle in the summer of 2020 during a tumultuous night of protests over the shooting of a Black man, Jacob Blake, by a white Kenosha police officer.
Rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges in November 2021 after testifying he acted in self-defense. Rittenhouse's actions became a flashpoint in the debate over guns, vigilantism and racial injustice in the U.S.
Rittenhouse went to Kenosha from his home in nearby Antioch, Illinois, after businesses were ransacked and burned in the nights that followed Blake's shooting. He joined other armed civilians on the streets, carrying a weapon authorities said was illegally purchased for him because he was underage.
Rittenhouse first killed Rosenbaum, 36, in the parking lot of an auto dealership and as Rittenhouse ran from the scene he stumbled and fell. Anthony Huber, 26, struck Rittenhouse with his skateboard and tried to disarm him. Rittenhouse fell to the ground and shot Anthony Huber to death and wounded demonstrator Gaige Grosskreutz, 27.
This case is one of several ongoing civil lawsuits filed in the wake of the shootings. Grosskreutz last year filed a similar lawsuit against Rittenhouse.
Rittenhouse has maintained a high public profile, particularly on social media, where he is an outspoken advocate for gun rights. He has nearly 1 million followers on Twitter and has spoken at conservative gatherings.
Upcoming Movies in October 2020: Theaters, Streaming and VOD
https://ift.tt/3lducG3
October looks a lot different than it did only a few weeks ago. As the month many movie theater owners were hanging their hats on with the hope of a weekly deluge of new movies , October has recently been vacated by high profile features that include Wonder Woman 1984, Death on the Nile, and Candyman.
Yet if you’re a cinephile or movie lover who is desperate for new stories and visions, it is not all doom and gloom. Between the streaming market of Netflix, VOD, and other platforms, as well as some smaller films willing to roll the dice on a limited theatrical release, there are still more than a few things to see in October 2020…
2067
October 2 (U.S. Only)
A high-concept science fiction setup if we’ve ever heard one, 2067 is the story of Ethan Whyte (Kodi Smit-McPhee), a young man born in a dystopian future where he learns that he might be the savior of humanity… at least that’s what people from an even more distant future are saying. In a plot twist that sounds, at least on paper, akin to a reversal of The Terminator, messengers from the future say Ethan is the key to saving the world and wish to transport him via time machine to an unknowable destiny. Chaos ensues. It’s a big idea, but we’re always game for someone swinging big in this genre.
Death of Me
October 2 (November 23 in the UK)
Darren Lynn Boseman, director of Saw II through Saw IV, returns to the horror genre again alongside Nikita’s Maggie Q and Westworld’s Luke Hemsworth. In this VOD release, the pair play a vacationing couple who wake up on an island with a horrible hangover. Yet a video on their phones seems to suggest the night before was even worse: Neil (Hemsworth) spent the evening brutally murdering his wife, as per the screen in their pockets. Nevertheless, here they are now, left with a lot of questions of what happened yesterday… and what can happen today.
Black Box
October 6
The first of Amazon Prime and Blumhouse Productions’ “Welcome to the Blumhouse” series, Emmanuel Osei-Kuffour’s Black Box has a tantalizing premise. Nolan (Mamoudou Athie) survived a car accident that took his wife, but it also took large swaths of his memory of her. So in order to regain his memory, and regain a sense of stability for his young daughter, Nolan undergoes an experimental treatment where his psychologist uses hypnosis to thrust him into his subconscious where he’ll be able remember his past and face his personal demons. Literally.
Like something out of Christopher Nolan’s Inception, this horror movie shows how scary being trapped in dreams really is if all that’s in them is the stuff of nightmares…
The Lie
October 6
The second Amazon/Blumhouse feature is more of a psychological thriller than a straightforward horror movie. Originally premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2018, The Lie follows a father (Peter Sarsgaard) who discovers his daughter Kayla (Joey King) accidentally killed her friend… until she admits she may have actually murdered her.
How far will he go to cover-up his daughter’s sins? Well, that’s the logline, and it seems to be a gripping one, albeit reviews from TIFF were less than kind two years ago.
Hubie Halloween
October 7
Last year Adam Sandler warned the Academy that if he doesn’t win an Oscar for Uncut Gems he’d make a film so bad that it’d make “you all pay.” Well, he wasn’t even nominated and eight months after the ceremony, here we are with Netflix’s Hubie Halloween. It remains to be seen whether this is actually the bad one—for starters it filmed before Oscar nominations went out—but it is still very much a Happy Madison production, complete with major supporting roles for Kevin James and Rob Schneider.

By Don Kaye
In the movie, Sandler plays Hubie Dubois, the town loser of Salem, Massachusetts. A lonely fry cook obsessed with Halloween, Hubie spends all year looking forward to decking out his home and town the same way Clark Griswold anticipates Christmas. But on this particular Halloween, the town appears besieged by actual supernatural forces, and finally Hubie will have his time to shine. Eh, it looks more amusing than The Do-Over and The Ridiculous 6?
Books of Blood
October 7 (U.S. Only)
Who doesn’t love anthological horror? Hulu certainly does, as they’re releasing Books of Blood, the latest adaptation of Clive Barker’s multi-volume series of short stories by the same name. Previous tales from Books of Blood have been adapted into movies as beloved as Candyman and as decidedly not as Rawhide Rex. In this film version, three stories are created for the screen by co-writer and director Brannon Braga. Here’s hoping it lands closer to the former?
Saint Maud
October 9 (UK Only)
The UK will be the first to get A24’s only horror movie this year. Lucky. The feature directorial debut of Rose Glass, Saint Maud follows an unhealthily repressed and zealous young woman: Maud (Morfydd Clark). Maud is technically a caretaker by trade, looking after people in hospice. But she also imagines herself to be something of an apostle, sent to save godless folks from their sins, particularly Amanda (Jennifer Ehle), the woman she’s living with as the in-home nurse.

It’s already a tense situation, even before Maud starts hearing voices and having images of ecstasy and Heaven, and demons and Hell. Rich with atmosphere and grueling anticipation of something horrible happening, Saint Maud is a great debut for Glass and a potential star-maker for Clark, who is skin-crawlingly pious as Maud, the young woman who’s wound up tighter than a jack-in-the-box.
The Wolf of Snow Hollow
October 9 (U.S. Only)
Debuting in theaters and on VOD, The Wolf of Snow Hollow is Jim Cummings’ follow-up to Thunder Road. That earlier, underrated movie was a delightful mix of comedy and drama that won the SXSW Grand Jury Prize. So the sophomore effort being a werewolf comedy-horror movie is intriguing. Indeed, Wolf of Snow Hollow is the rare lycanthrope yarn that’s told from the point-of-view of the would-be wolf hunter, Sheriff John Marshall (Cummings).
Following a series of grisly murders every full moon, the residents of Snow Hollow become convinced they have a wolfman on their hands, even if the frustrated sheriff refuses to accept the obvious. The film also marks the final performance of Robert Forster as John’s crusty mentor.
The War with Grandpa
October 9 in the U.S. (October 16 in the UK)
For most people, having Robert De Niro as a grandfather can be an imposing experience. But kids these days! That’s at least one amusing takeaway from The War with Grandpa, the delayed family movie that sees De Niro’s grandfatherly Ed enter into a prank war with his grandson Peter (Oakes Fegley) after upsetting the youth by moving into his old bedroom—Peter’s mom and Ed’s daughter Sally (Uma Thurman) forced them into the arrangement.

Oh, and there’s a dodgeball battle in which De Niro is aided by a squad of screen legends like Christopher Walken, Cheech Marin, and Jane Seymour, to squash the pups. Now things are getting serious…
Nocturne
October 13
The first of Amazon and Blumhouse’s next batch of original movies, Nocturne is the tale of a hellish rivalry between sisters. Genuinely. The feature debut from director Zu Quirke stars Sydney Sweeney as Juliet, the younger sister of fellow musician Vivian (Madison Iseman). While both young women are gifted pianists, Vivian is a prodigy and the center of Juliet’s envy. That is until Juliet finds the diary of another child prodigy at their prestigious conservatory who killed herself. The book includes all the late pianist’s hidden compositions… and symbols and incantations.
Ever heard the story of Faust? It seems like Juliet is about to get an up-close modern example.
Evil Eye
October 13
As the final Blumhouse effort to be released on Amazon Prime in 2020, Evil Eye hails from directors Elan and Rajeev Dassani and presents itself as both a psychological thriller and supernatural chiller. The truth of which it really is depends on how much you believe the eye of Usha (Sarita Choudhury).

The Trial of the Chicago 7
October 16
“The whole world is watching.” That’s the chanted refrain of protestors in Aaron Sorkin’s second movie as director, but it might also apply to the level of anticipation regarding this major Netflix release and potential awards season darling. The movie itself is an old-fashioned legal thriller like Sorkin cut his teeth on with scripts like A Few Good Men, but Chicago 7 feels urgently (and depressingly) vital.
Following on the heels of the Chicago riots during the Democratic National Convention of 1968—riots later deemed to have been started by the police—eight men categorized as “the far left” are rounded up for a show trial by Nixon’s Justice Department where they’re charged with conspiracy.

Quentin Tarantino Calls The Social Network the Best Movie of the 2010s
By David Crow
The film features the same blistering abundance of dialogue Sorkin has become famous for, as well as his penchant for breezy fast-paced editing. But the political heft of the subject matter and the movie’s deep bench of an acting ensemble that includes Sacha Baron Cohen, Jeremy Strong, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Eddie Redmayne, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Mark Rylance, and Frank Langella is what makes this one of the most thrilling movies of the year.
Honest Thief
October 16 (U.S. Only)
Liam Neeson plays a thief who wants a second chance. A bank robber willing to turn himself and $9 million in to be with the new love of his life. But then crooked FBI agents (Jai Courtney and Anthony Ramos) steal his money and frame him for murder instead. So he’s left with one thing to do: menacingly hiss over the phone, “I’m coming for you.” We imagine that trailer-ready threat was what Honest Thief was sold on during its elevator pitch.
Rebecca
October 21
Remaking Alfred Hitchcock remains a tricky proposition that has thwarted many filmmakers in the past. Readapting the only one of his movies to win the Oscar for Best Picture, Rebecca, appears all the harder. Yet everything we’ve seen from Ben Wheatley and Netflix’s luscious adaptation of the Daphne Du Maurier novel is highly encouraging.
With a winning cast that includes Lily James as the new Mrs. de Winter, Armie Hammer as her husband Maxim, and Kristin Scott Thomas as his menacing housekeeper Mrs. Danvers, the film opens with the young bride trying to step into the shoes of Maxim’s dead first wife, Rebecca. An apparent light of his mansion that has been long snuffed, Rebecca’s flame burns still if only because of Mrs. Danvers’ admiration for her late mistress… and maybe the ghost who prowls the house. This is archetypal Gothic horror, and with screenwriter Jane Goldman apparently keeping the novel’s original ending, we already feel seduced by the imagery.
On the Rocks
October 2 in the UK (October 23 in the U.S.)
Sofia Coppola and Bill Murray work together again. For the first time since their luminous Lost in Translation (if you ignore the ill-considered A Very Murray Christmas), the director and star are collaborating on this visibly intimate tale. It’s about an adult daughter (Rashida Jones) and her famous father (Murray) spending a weekend in New York City on an adventure after years of estrangement.

The film, which also stars Marlon Wayans, premiered to a largely warm reception at the New York Film Festival and is already being written about as a spiritual successor to their original collaboration. Once more a woman in the midst of an existential crisis is aided by Murray between glasses of scotch. Who doesn’t want to pull up a seat and order another round?
Over the Moon
October 23
You probably don’t know Glen Keane’s name but you should. The longtime Walt Disney Animation Studios animator oversaw the design and animation of Ariel in The Little Mermaid, Beast in Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin in Aladdin, and Rapunzel in Tangled. With Over the Moon, he steps away from the Mouse and toward Netflix as a first-time co-director, alongside John Kahrs (an animator on Tangled and Frozen).
The trailer for the film is like a Georges Méliès fever dream from as a little girl named Fei Fei (Cathy Ang) builds a rocket ship to take her to the moon. But once there, Fei Fei and friends meet a mythical moon goddess (Hamilton’s Phillipa Soo) who takes them on a candy-colored odyssey through the cosmos.
Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead are two of the most intriguing new voices in science fiction. If you don’t recognize their names, go watch The Endless right now. One of the strangest and cleverest sci-fi yarns of the last decade, that film is now being followed up by Synchronic, another original tale that stars Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan. The specifics of the film remain vague other than it is about two New Orleans paramedics who investigate a series of murders caused by a new, bizarre designer drug. But we already know we can’t wait to watch what horrible side effects come from these poor bastards taking it.
The Craft: Legacy
It cannot be Halloween without at least one more horror movie coming out the week of. Thus enters The Craft: Legacy, Sony Pictures and Blumhouse Productions’ legacy sequel to the original 1996 The Craft. Like its predecessor, this follows an outsider who is the new girl in school (Cailee Spaeny). She may be ostracized by the popular kids, but she befriends fellow students who have alternative tastes… like witchcraft.
The original is a touchstone for millennials and Gen-Xers of a certain age, and this reboot looks to push the story into a more complex understanding of friendship. And if it doesn’t, it’s still a Blumhouse effort so it should have plenty of spooky jumps!
Relic
October 30 (US Only)
Dementia is at the heart of this very eerie chiller where three generations of women convene in an old family home which seems to be rotting from the inside. Robyn Nevin, Emily Mortimer and Bella Heathcote star in a slow build drama which delves into the horror of losing your sense of self, as Nevin’s matriarch goes missing for days and can’t remember what happened while her house is filled with odd notes, black mould and snippets of a life slipping away from her grasp. This is the feature debut of Australian-Japanese director Natalie Erika James and it’s a stylish, chilling and confident first feature with a final act that veers into full blown horror. Out already in the States on VOD it has a UK theatrical release in the UK.

So, who are they? Here is a quick look in the richest attorneys in the world, ranked from the lowest net value to the greatest. Please note that the people on this list are all practicing attorneys or judges. There are loads of additional "attorneys " with a substantially higher net value, but they just possess a law degree and no longer use it.
Lynn Toler: $15 million

A douze jours de l’ouverture officielle du 70ème festival de cannes, nous vous proposons en poèsie,
Un retour en arrière, ou come back, pour connaître l’évolution fantastique du 7ème art
Comme beaucoup de découvertes, du temps passé,
Le cinéma, invention des frères lumières,
A connu une évolution, presque de l’ordre de la vitesse de la lumière
Les évolutions technologiques, se sont succédées, reléguant loin le cinéma du passé.
Du cinéma muet, au cinéma parlant,
Un monde, et déjà une révolution,
Le rapprochement du 7ème art vers notre évolution,
Combien de vedettes du muet, n’ont pu s’adapter au parlant
Les effets spéciaux, Méliès en fut l’inventeur,
Un de ses chefs d’œuvres en 1902, le voyage dans la lune, en tant que réalisateur,
Jusqu’à la fin des années 80, les effets spéciaux étaient créés avec des maquettes, sculpture, ou maquillage.
Dans les années 90, le numérique imposa sa stature, et son héritage.
Du cinéma noir et blanc à la couleur,
Un monde fut franchit en douceur,
Collant sur la pellicule, l’image aux couleurs de nos vies,
Nous faisant franchir dans cet art, une nouvelle période de sa vie
Et il reste à parler du son,
Comme la transmission des avions à hélices, à ceux du mur du son,
Dans les années 80 naît, le dolby stéréo,
Une force, et une puissance accrue pour les bandes sonores, on inventera ensuite la télévision stéréo.
Like many discoveries, of past time,
Cinema, the invention of the luminous brothers,
Has experienced an evolution, almost of the order of the speed of the light
Technological evolutions have followed one another, relegating the cinema of the past far.
From silent cinema to talking cinema,
A world, and already a revolution,
The rapprochement of the 7th art towards our evolution,
How many stars of the dumb, could not adapt to the speaking
The special effects, Méliès was the inventor,
One of his masterpieces in 1902, the trip to the moon, as a director,
Until the late 80s, special effects were created with models, sculpture, or makeup.
In the 90s, digital imposed its stature, and its legacy.
From black and white cinema to color,
A world was gently crossed,
Panting on the film, the colorful image of our lives,
Making us cross this art, a new period of his life
And it remains to speak of the sound,
Since the transmission of propeller planes, those of the sound barrier,
In the 80's is born, the stereo dolby,
Strength, and increased power for soundtracks, will then invent stereo television.
Former Penn State President’s Conviction Reinstated By Federal Court
By John Martin, University of Pittsburgh Class of 2020
December 4, 2020
In 2011, the college football world was shocked after hearing the news about retired Penn State defensive coordinator, Jerry Sandusky, allegedly molesting children through his charity, Second Mile. To the public’s surprise, it had been a reoccurring issue within the university’s administration since 1998, when the first allegation was reported to police. After finding insufficient evidence, the district attorney decided not to move forward with charges. In 1999, Sandusky retired on grounds unrelated to the accusations, but he was still granted access to the football facilities because he was given emeritus status. Thus, he was still permitted to use team buildings for his charity operations and activities. In 2001, a graduate assistant walked in on Sandusky engaging in sexual activities with a young boy in the showers. He reported the incident to the head coach, Joe Paterno, who relayed the information to university officials. In an email chain, the administrators agreed to talk to Sandusky and Second Mile organizers, telling them he was no longer allowed to bring in any guests from the charity into the building, and they never contacted any authoritative bodies. After this, the issue remained quiet for several years until 2008, when another victim reported abuse to Clinton County Child and Youth Services. Several others came forward, including four that occurred after the 2001 incident. These accusations led to Sandusky being found guilty of 45 counts of sexual abuse[1]. With that, many Penn State officials were criminally charged for their involvement in neglecting to report the horrific events that transpired.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit released their decision on December 1, 2020 regarding the conviction of former Penn State President, Graham Spanier. He was part of the email chain that decided not inform authorities about what the graduate assistant witnessed. When the ex-athletic director proposed the approach to only handle the situation within the confines of the university instead of police, Spanier responded that he accepted the proposed method. In addition, he noted the only “downside” of handling the problem this way could make them “vulnerable for not having reported it,” in the future [2]. He was found guilty and convicted in 2017 on misdemeanor child endangerment charges. Spanier appealed his verdict, citing violations of the Ex Post Facto Clause.
The state’s child endangerment statute was amended in 2007 to include “[a] parent, guardian or other person supervising the welfare of a child under 18 years of age, or a person that employs or supervises such a person, commits an offense if he knowingly endangers the welfare of the child by violating a duty of care, protection or support,” [3]. Prior to that change in the crimes code, the state relied on the 1995 statute, which only stated “[a] parent, guardian, or other person supervising the welfare of the child.” The change in the statute came after a case that dealt with the Secretary for the Clergy of Archdiocese of Philadelphia. He responsible for handling child abuse claims. After finding one of his priests had sexually abused a child, the secretary transferred him, instead of contacting authorities [4]. As a result, more children were molested. This prompted a grand jury to find that the 1995 statute was improper, as they declined to charged him. However, it is important to note that the secretary was ultimately convicted under the 1995 statute after a Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision [5].
Relevant to Spanier, he argued that the jury had convicted him under the 2007 statute, instead of the 1995 statute.Since the incident occurred in 2001, the 1995 statute should have been applied. If not, that would be a violation of the Ex Post Facto Clause, pertaining to be being charged with a crime that occurred before it was officially on the books. This provision is guaranteed by Article 1 of the Constitution, and it is an important part of a fair legal process. The language of the 2007 statute is very specific to Spanier’s situation, as he knew about an individual (he supervised) engaged with the endangerment and abuse of children. However, the 1995 statute would not apply, Spanier argues, because he did not directly supervise the children. The initial trial court was instructed to view this case with the 1995 statute, according to court documents. However, a federal magistrate judge agreed with Spanier, in that the 1995 statute was misapplied, and she threw out his conviction in 2019 [6].
The Third Circuit reversed the federal magistrate judge’s decision based on their interpretation of his role in the entire ordeal. They found that, even though the 2007 statute does not apply to this case, Spaniercould still be convicted with the 1995 statute. They cited the case referenced earlier regarding the Secretary of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. The court determined that supervising the welfare of children, as it pertains to the language in the 1995 statute, applies to Spanier. In his role as head of the university, he oversaw the response to the allegations of child abuse. With that position, he inherently became responsible for the welfare of children, though not in a direct capacity. Therefore, the initial conviction did not violate the Ex Post Facto Clause, and Spanier’s sentence was reinstated [7].

Clarice Episode 6 Review: How Does It Feel to Be So Beautiful
https://ift.tt/3kpRhG5
This Clarice review contains spoilers.
Clarice Episode 6
Clarice, episode 6, “How Does It Feel to Be So Beautiful,” opens in the aftermath of Clarice’s (Rebecca Breeds) nearly-lethal encounter with the recently deceased Marilyn Felker, and it brings her back to square one. The ViCAP agent is put on administrative leave, ordered to return to therapy, and given a last supper by the Attorney General, Ruth Martin (Jayne Atkinson). But it begins with a regressive hypnosis session that opens up a world of moth-eaten fantasia.
Agent Shaan Tripathi (Kal Penn) says Organized Crime believes in Dr. Renee Li (Grace Lynn Kung), who was recruited to plumb the depths of Clarice’s memories. The agent got sucker punched while attempting to escape from Dr. Felker’s personal intensive care unit, but doesn’t remember if she got a good look at the face of her attacker. Texas lawmakers are currently debating whether to ban courtroom evidence which comes from investigative hypnosis. For the ViCAP team, the jury is still out.
Deputy Assistant Attorney General Paul Krendler (Michael Cudlitz) opens the episode as the ultimate cynic (hypnosis doesn’t work, Clarice will never remember, she was pumped up to her eyeballs with narcotics), and closes it with personal obstinacy. He is a rubber band when it comes to the behavioral science specialist, and keeps snapping back to first impressions. He may say he’s on Clarice’s side, but appears incapable of seeing her as anything but a recurring rookie. Her best hope for recognition would be as a nemesis. She’d probably outflank him in open battle.
The repartee between the agents is improving. The sniper, Agent Esquivel (Lucca De Oliveira), offers to shoot Clarice to justify a two-week furlough; Agent Clark (Nick Sandow) riffs over his crushing concerns; and everyone calls Agent Shaan Tripathi (Kal Penn) “His Majesty.” This episode offers a significant personal insight into Tripathi, whose wife passed away of cancer and felt guilty for doing so. He is turning out to be the most well-rounded character in the ViCAP unit, possibly because of what Penn puts behind his eyes. We get a lot of information on Esquivel, and too much information on Krendler, but His Majesty makes due with far less.
The agents are becoming self-aware cynics, even as the layers get pulled away. Hypnotists, like Dr. Li, can make an onion taste like an apple with a butterfly induction, and the “River Murders” case is beginning to smell like Lockyer Labs. Big pharma has no conscience, and neither does Krendler’s much-endorsed divorce lawyer. The top cop on the block is sidelined for most of the investigation dealing with an alcoholic soon-to-be ex-wife who falls off the wagon and a fairly resourceful son. The ViCAP team tracks the ever-unfolding conspiracy, which is moving in the drama at a reasonably fast pace, frustratingly. The DNA sample from the man who attacked Clarice is either inconclusive or is too close to a file which has been wiped from the FBI database.

How Clarice Continues Agent Starling’s Story

Silence of the Lambs: Anthony Hopkins Reveals His Real World Inspiration for Hannibal Lecter
By David Crow
Ardelia Mapp (Devyn Tyler), who runs tests on her off hours, is in a kind of limbo. She gets the most exposure on the series because she performs the most functions. Ardelia has to juggle being the main character’s best friend, the pioneering employee, and the ambitious cop all at the same time. Clarice is only dealing with post-trauma. She appears to be trying to kick cold turkey, because, as Ruth Martin hints, there’s nothing more frustrating than a PTSD junkie.
The dinner sequence is more uncomfortable than a Thanksgiving gathering during the Trump administration. The oppressive atmosphere of the mansion and the eerie music curdle the stomach long before Ruth bites down on the very first words to come out of her daughter Catherine’s (Marnee Carpenter) mouth. It’s no wonder the serial killer’s lone survivor starts eating vanilla yogurt like baby food at the table. Buffalo Bill’s dog Precious is the only tame animal in the house. The attorney general launches a full-frontal offensive, Catherine tops from the bottom of a cavernous pit, and Clarice puts the leftovers in a bag to play with when she gets home. The brandy is good, though.
Rebecca Breeds isn’t given much room to be coy in this performance. Clarice wears every emotion like it is the centerpiece of her ensemble, business attire or casual. She lets out audible sighs of relief in the very face of the people she’s dealing with. Clarice rolls her eyes, glares, and scoffs so visibly most people would blush embarrassedly and try to dart out of a room she’s in. The camera makes sure every twitch, snort and hair flip are telegraphed.
Catherine’s drawings are considerably dark, but her alpaca knitting is even more disturbing. It’s ironic, she says, but she loved sewing before Buffalo Bill started flaying victims for outerwear. Catherine gives Clarice more than just a scarf to keep her warm. She gives her back her memories to chill her at night and prepare her for the hypnotist’s final plunge.
“How Does It Feel to Be So Beautiful” is uncomfortable viewing, which works well against the hypnotic bookends of the episode. The memory of the events are murkier than they play out. The episode also benefits from having three distinct stories running on an almost independent basis. The last scene warns us they will all collide.

~ Robert Pattinson with Justin Chang for LA Times *Q&A. Click link for full article above.
Have you always been an avid moviegoer?
I was into movies before I was even remotely into acting. I basically approached my career, at least for the first 10 years of it, trying to re-create my DVD shelf from when I was 17.
Tell me what was on that DVD shelf.
You could literally look at my IMDb page and see. James Gray was a massive one. Claire Denis. [Werner] Herzog. These are people I’ve just been crossing off the list. There was a lot of [Jean-Luc] Godard.
Are there certain titles that particularly inspired you?
Godard’s “Prénom: Carmen” (First Name: Carmen) was a massive one for me in terms of tone and performance. I love genre shifts, and I just think for that to start off as a kind of farce and then to develop into one of the most moving relationship stories, unrequited love stories, that I’ve ever seen — that really stuck out.
Claire Denis’ “White Material” was one of the big ones. I love “No Fear, No Die” as well. I love a lot of Claire Denis’ stuff. And Leos Carax as well, especially “Les Amants du Pont-Neuf” (The Lovers on the Bridge).
There’s something about these filmmakers. I can’t think of a better word than “singular,” but they’re just so unique. I mean, I like a lot of English-language movies from the ’70s, which everybody likes, but among more recent films, for some reason, a lot of French movies — they’re more operatic. They’re not afraid to be emotionally operatic. I like that.
You must be excited to work with Claire Denis on “High Life.”
For sure. I start shooting on Sunday. I’m flying out there finally after three years. I’m very curious how it will turn out. The script is very ambitious, to say the least.
Who are some of your favorite older filmmakers?
I’ve recently been watching a lot of Ken Russell. I love his movies. I was watching “The Devils” the other day. There’s some kind of through line connecting all these films, but I can never really figure out what it is. A lot of it is performance-based; all these directors get these incredible performances. Oliver Reed in “The Devils” is unreal. That could literally play now and it would still be subversive.
You’ve worked with some terrific filmmakers in recent years, including David Cronenberg, David Michôd and now the Safdie brothers.
I got kind of lucky. I had worked with some great directors before that, but they tended to go back and forth between personal films and more commercial films. With a lot of the later directors, their films are sort of all personal. But after Cronenberg and “Cosmopolis,” which just kind of appeared out of nowhere — with David Michôd, I remember seeing the teaser trailer for “Animal Kingdom” before it was out, and it was just a phenomenal teaser. I just went after him then and met him a long time, maybe a year and a half, before “The Rover” even came about.
I like the feeling of discovery and meeting someone who is really, really hungry and has a lot to prove. It’s exciting to see the Safdies’ progression. Scott Rudin and Martin Scorsese are producing their next film [the thriller “Uncut Gems”].
You’ve attended the Cannes Film Festival often in recent years. Do you get a chance to see other films when you’re there?
This year I saw Lynne Ramsay’s “You Were Never Really Here.” It was great. She’s another person who’s been on my list forever. But in general, it’s always a little funny going to see other films when you’ve got a movie premiering there. I’d love at some point to be on a jury. Everyone is always like, “It’s such a hassle seeing three films a day,” but that’s kind of all I do anyway.
Are there any films from the past year or so that you’ve especially liked?
I loved “Embrace of the Serpent,” the Ciro Guerra film. And I loved “Mon Roi” (My King), the Maïwenn movie. I thought that was great.
I love that you said that. I remember “My King” getting pilloried at Cannes.
Everybody hated “My King”?
I wouldn’t say everybody. I mean, I can’t speak for all my critical brethren, but …
Really? That’s crazy! I absolutely love that movie. I thought it was so moving.
Is Maïwenn someone you’d want to work with in the future?
Yeah, for sure. That was one of the best movies of the year for me.
Unsolved: Murder at the Jumping Off Place Part Four: Manhunt
Richard Lynn Bare
By LARRY J. GRIFFIN
Special Reporter for The Record
Sherry Hart had been dead over a year when, in March 1985, newly-elected Governor James “Jim” Martin of North Carolina acceded to offering a $5,000 reward for information relative to her disappearance and murder.
Shortly after news of the reward filtered into the community, law enforcement received a tip, one linking Sherry to two men in whose company she was seen on the evening of Jan. 15, 1984 — Richard Lynn Bare and Jeffery Scott Burgess. Both were 20-year-old male residents of Ashe County and thought to be high school acquaintances of Ms. Hart.
Up until 1999, three high schools operated in Ashe County: Northwest, Ashe Central, and Beaver Creek. County records indicate that Bare and Burgess attended a different high school than Hart did — the two men attended Ashe Central and Sherry attended Beaver Creek.
Moreover, Bare and Burgess were over four-years younger and did not enter high school until the academic school year after Hart’s Senior Year. So, it is not likely that the three were high school acquaintances—let alone friends.
Irma Pugh, Sherry Hart’s friend, didn’t know either young man. “It is possible that Sherry became acquainted with those two guys through the “cruising” that everyone did in town back then.” Previously, J.B. and Lola Calloway — Sherry’s uncle and aunt — offered a similar explanation. Though no one seems to know with certainty how the three young adults became acquainted, most accounts detailing events of that January evening stipulate that they did — in fact — know each other.
So on March 29, 1985, Ashe authorities located Jeff Burgess and brought him in for questioning. According to an affidavit obtained from the Wilkes County Clerk of Court’s Office, Burgess divulged to then Ashe County Sheriff Gene Goss what had occurred on the evening of Jan. 15. The Sheriff recorded the following statement:
“Jumping off Place”…Jeffery Scott Burgess related…that on 1-15-84, he and [Richard] Lynn Bare had been with Sherry Hart. That the three of them had been in a white Mustang two-door which was owned by Bobby Bare, brother of Lynn Bare. That on 1-15-84, at approximately 10:00 P.M., Lynn Bare struck Sherry Hart in the head with a .38-caliber pistol. That Sherry Hart began bleeding from the head wound and was placed in the front seat of the above described vehicle and taken to the 1200 foot cliff. As a result of the head wound on Sherry Hart, blood fell on the car interior. That during the time the above 3 were together on 1-15-85 [sic] in the above described vechile [sic] Sherry Hart stated she had lost her car keys and these keys have not been found to date. Burgess also related that some items were thrown off a cliff on the Blue Ridge Parkway by Lynn Bare on 1-15-85 [sic]. On 3-30-85, a purse with Sherry Hart’s checkbook was found over a cliff on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The above facts establish probable cause to conduct tests for trace evidence in the above described vehicle and search for any other evidence of the above crime and items from the person of Sherry Hart.
The most troubling aspect of the affidavit — all typos and inaccuracies relative to the date aside — is that this version lacks pertinent details that ostensibly were described to law enforcement at some juncture and reported in various news media. No mention is made of the “rest stop” which Hart purportedly requested, Bare’s alleged attempt to sexually assault her, or the frantic appeal to Burgess for protection from her would-be assailant. Such omissions recommend to suspicion that other documents including the aforementioned details must be filed away in another agency’s records.
Few court documents detailing charges and proceedings against Jeffery Burgess have been located to date. Inquiries made at the Clerk of Court offices in Ashe and Wilkes County have produced scant documentation; however, the search continues. What is presently known is that Burgess was named a “co-defendant” in the case of the disappearance and death of Sherry Hart. He was taken into custody in Ashe County and remained there in the county Jail.
On the strength of Burgess’s statement, two actions were initiated and executed on March 30, 1985. First, a Search Warrant was obtained from the Ashe County Clerk of Superior Court’s office to conduct a search of Bobby Bare’s 1977 white, two-door Ford Mustang, with red interior. The automobile was “received” and searched at 4:50 PM that same day and returned 35 minutes later at 5:25 PM. “Richard L. Bare” signed for the vehicle’s release.
Second, a Warrant for Arrest was issued by Wilkes County authorities for the immediate arrest of Richard Lynn Bare of Jefferson, NC; white male; 20-years-of-age. He was summarily charged with violation of General Statute 14-17 for…”unlawfully, willfully and feloniously did of ‘malice of forethought kill and murder Sherry Hart.’” Once apprehended, Bare was fingerprinted and remanded to the custody of authorities at the Wilkes County Jail, located at that time behind the Old Wilkes Courthouse, now the Wilkes Heritage Museum. A preliminary court appearance was scheduled for April 3, 1985.
Two days before his scheduled court appearance—on April 1, 1985—Bare petitioned the court to provide counsel, as he was financially unable to retain his own. At the time of his arrest, the defendant stated that he was employed by Holly Farms—now Tyson’s Food—and was compensated with an income of $500 to $600 a month ($1,131--$1,357 in 2016 currency).

Sheriff Goss and SBI Agent Steven Cabe were scheduled to appear to offer testimony. However, Bare waived his right to the arraignment and entered a plea of “not guilty” to the charge of first degree murder.
The Superior Court trial date was set for July 29, 1985 at the Old Wilkes County Courthouse. Eighteen days before the trial’s commencement—July 11, 1985—Gene Goss and Steven Cabe were once again subpoenaed to testify. And for a second time, neither manwould have opportunity to give testimony before the court in the matter of the murder of Sherry Elaine Lyall Hart. That trial was never conducted…
