Tweetweek: Young Han Solo, Met Ball, and Civil War

Apologies for the slim postings the past two days. Boring issues at TFE HQ that will hopefully be remedied shortly for a jampacked next week. But enough of that...

As you may have heard Alden Ehrenreich has been cast as the Young Han Solo. If you are old like me you know he won't be the first actor to have risked Ford comparisons in the role. Way back in 1989, then freshly Oscar- nominated teen star River Phoenix (Running on Empty) played Young Han Solo in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in a flashback scene wherein we learned how Indiana Jones got that scar under his lip. 

Alden Ehrenreich is all the rage at the moment due to his truly awesome work in Hail, Caesar! And the following tweet is most definitely true of actor heat both now and in general. The Coens have a rich history of making people notice how great certain actors are and then other filmmakers capitalize on it. It's not just that galaxy far far away that takes cues from them.

But before we begin after the jump please note that I'm nominating Scott Beggs for the Pulitzer in criticism

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FINALLY... Tweets on the Tony Nominations and the Met Ball gowns to go!

seeing that pic of my two Jessicas makes me happy.

There is peace in me knowing the two Jessica(s) met.

Hamilton is provoking a strong curiosity in me. Fran Lebowitz who hates the musical genre and reluctant patron of the theater loved it. Now Streep is gushing over it. The tickets for the LA version of the show will be monumentally expensive. I'll just fantasize about Lin-Manuel Miranda and read an elementary school book on the real Alexander Hamilton. Since any age-appropriate literature on him is bound to be boring.

"My wife and my best friend both thought Captain America: Civil War was a superhero movie set during the American civil war."

ME TOO!!!!!!!!!! I didn't understand it

Full disclosure: the only Marvel movie I've seen was the first Iron Man.

Taylor Swift challenging Hiddleston to a dance-off? Oh, that is stupid. No one can out-dance Hiddleston.
