Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman discusses her character Lucille Ball
“I really knew nothing about Lucille Ball except that she had done ‘I Love Lucy.’ I fell in love with the woman and the way Aaron wrote about her, as well as with Lucille and Desi Arnaz as a couple. You could tell Aaron loved them too, and he loved their fractious and passionate relationship.”
“The vocal aspect was kind of a high-wire act. She was a heavy smoker and her voice was deeper and raspier naturally.”
“I studied the black-and-white footage endlessly. My makeup and clothing is just like hers. I learned every quirk, every hand gesture. But I always kept in mind that Lucille created Lucy Ricardo. They are not the same person.”
Academy Award winner Javier Bardem discusses his character Desi Arnaz
“He wanted to help Lucille, protect her, hold her — not only because she was the star of the show but because she was his wife, the mother of his kids and an amazing, creative mind. But there were many things that he could have done better.”

The Bubble Apatow Productions Netflix #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) I’m not sure about you, but I wasn't a fan of this particular film. Maybe I wasn't ready to hear about the issues during the pandemic on film sets. I didn't really find 'The Bubble' that funny either. I was kind of surprised since they had an all-star cast of Karen Gillan, Pedro Pascal, Iris Apatow, Leslie Mann, David Duchovny, and Keegan-Micheal Key. This definitely wasn't one of Judd Apatow's best movies. If you want to get to know Judd Apatow's work check out “Anchorman,” "Knocked Up” or “The 40-Year-Old Virgin”. The Bubble Release date April 1, 2022 Directed by Judd Apatow Written by Judd Apatow and Pam Brady Produced by Judd Apatow Starring Karen Gillan as Carol Cobb Iris Apatow as Krystal Kris Pedro Pascal as Dieter Bravo Leslie Mann as Lauren Van Chance Fred Armisen as Darren Eigan David Duchovny as Dustin Mulray Keegan-Michael Key as S...

#newmusic4yourears #whatonwhatsgood Week of March 4, 2022 1. Charissa New single "People Like You" 2. Ulrich Forman New single "At Last" Upcoming album 'Chapter IV' available on May 27th French composer, songwriter, and producer Ulrich Forman discusses upcoming album 'Chapter IV' "I started writing 'Chapter IV' about two years ago. I already had a few tracks and ideas laid down when I got into a really bad motorcycle accident for the first time, I started by writing lyrics without any melodies in mind, which led me to write introspective lyrics about very intimate subjects, which would later become the foundation of the album. I did not want those lyrics hidden behind heavy musical arrangements. I chose an almost bare and minimalistic aesthetic so that they could breathe and convey the vulnerability I felt after the accident that I was so desperately trying to accept. I could not hide behind routine in a way, that led me to a cer...

There is a chance to win an unclaimed $125,000 prize if she is up for playing the game. What she doesn't know is that the game is cursed. The question is what sort of bad things will start happening in reality? Will she be able to beat the 1980s survival computer game on her own or with her friend Isaac (Asa Butterfield)? Tune in to find out. The premise is quite interesting. The acting in the film is decent. It's kind of neat that you get a voice “cameo” by Robert Englund. Enjoy!
