Silver Raven

Older Cleve's boyfriend is the same guy who plays Jamal's boyfriend on "Empire". Nice scene with Cleve's father getting him marijuana, and helping him with his medicines. Jason, the guy from ACT UP, is played by drag artist William Belli. Tom Ammiano ran for Mayor of San Francisco against Willie Brown, but lost. He served in the state Assembly, but is now termed out. Not sure what he's doing now. He's also a stand up comic. Carole Migden went on to serve in the state Senate and Assembly. She got a heavy fine for illegal use of campaign contributions, and was not re-endorsed by the Party for re-election. Ivory Aquino as Cecilia Chung is really great. Richard Socarides left the White House to serve as a Senior Vice President at New Line Cinema. He is now with a rather questionable financial firm. The actor playing Richard Socarides is named Charles Socarides. Richard's brother maybe? Man, Michael Williams as Ken LOOKS like an AIDS patient. The guy at the end interviewing Cleve Jones is supposed to be Dustin Lance Black, but they never name him in the show. It's more than ironic that just as tonight's show ended, they advertised George W. Bush being on the Kimmel show. See the documentary movie Bridegroom, about a gay couple, one of whom dies and the other is denied even the right to attend his funeral.

Josh Bowman is Jack the Ripper in the new "Time After Time" series.

So AZ says Shawn Christian was fired. https://soaphub.com/days-of-our-lives/contrary-reports-shawn-christian-fired-days/

Heh. I saw that. I was living in LA at the time. :)

I actually kind of smiled when Marci and Billy were joking about how wonderful Abigail is, and just imagined how smarmy it would have come across if Kate Mansi had done it.

The Newsies production is getting an encore showing in theaters Saturday, March 4.

Dammit just reading your analysis makes me tear up.

ABC is running a special tonight before Part 3, on the real life people.

John Boyega? He's 24. Eddie Redmayne? He's 35. Jack O'Connell? He's 26. I'd pick Taron Edgerton, but he's way too short.

Carlo Hesser was a mobster. They let Nicole check into a motel without a credit card? In what year is this set? Jeez, is Gabi stalking JJ and Lani? She seems to be everywhere they are. And so, once again, NBC interrupts us for non-breaking news. smdh. And after 20 minutes, they're back. Wow, Sonny, way to be an asshole to the guy you claim to be in love with. Once again, that crappy song. That baby is so cute.

I wonder if the judges flip a coin ahead of time to figure out which one will be the "bad cop" in each case.

Yes, I'm in the Sacramento area. We have an annual summer musicals season, with one production always geared towards kids. It's Beauty and the Beast this year. I also have a ticket for Gentleman's Guide next weekend. I don't know who's in it.

I wonder if her desire to leave was the reason that she didn't submit an Emmys reel.

Not exactly a ladies man, but he was Heathcliff in a Wuthering Heights miniseries.

Ausitn P. McKenzie is killing it in this show. It's so weird that they're only showing us bits and pieces of Harvey Milk's body, like he's Jesus in old movies. Kevin McHale is virtually unrecognizable in this. It's interesting that they're showing real life people with flaws, instead of just being superheroes.

Manchester By the Sea, when Michelle Williams and Casey Afleck meet on the street. Just shattering. It means more if you know the backstory, but this scene is still devastating.

So Deimos is giving his thug carte blanche to murder Chloe. I would love it if Anne and Lucas got together. I want to see Anne go sky diving. That would be awesome. God, Eric, why don't you just kill yourself and put is all out of your misery?

I was looking up the people in this show and discovered that the Black Cat Bar, where Mama Jose holds court, actually closed down in 1964, so it was not open at the time of this production - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Cat_Bar Mama Jose is also a real person, Jose Sarria - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/José_Sarria

Arianne Zucker is leaving. :'( Her contract ends in April and she's leaving the show, so that means she'll be on till October. http://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/arianne-zucker-leaving-days/

Raw, a sweet little film about cannibalism and coming of age.

Did they say something about Jade's father's son not wanting anything to do with him? I did a "What?" but wondered if I misheard.

Hidden Figures was the biggest money drawing Best Picture nominee.

Hope was too sick to go to her own nephew's funeral, but not too sick to throw food around the house and have sex in the bathtub.

I didn't know Gus Van Sant was involved in this. I saw all of the hype about Dustin Lance Black, but not Van Sant. Austin P. McKenzie is fluent in sign language. He got a job with Deaf West Theater in Los Angeles as an interpreter, and when their production of Spring Awakening moved to Broadway, he was cast as Melchor. Ironic casting of David Hyde Pierce as Cleve's father. Emily Skeggs is also a Broadway star, she has been nominated for a Tony. Why is Guy Pearce's Cleve so effeminate, but Austin P. McKenzie's isn't? Was that THE Sylvester? I'd hate to be a bike messenger in San Francisco. :) Kind of strange that they only show images of Harvey Milk. The black guy not being welcome in a gay bar is way above ironic.

Well, he is in the new Mary Poppins movie.
