1st announcement: Anger. This week, as a protest against the ineffectiveness of justice, two groups of different people adapted the idea that Mildred (Frances McDormand) has in 3 ads for a crime: put up three billboards pointing out the slowness of the authorities to deal with different crimes. It is not a simple case of life imitating art. Rather, it is proof that the film captures the spirit of the times. In the environment there is so much fury and pain due to injustices suffered, as a call full of rage to remedy such situations is heard. This is one of the merits of the film that attracts precisely because of the convincing interpretation of McDormand, a victim full of indignation. This is also an explanation for the success and attention that an uneven film like this generates.
Source: From Hollywood
2nd ad: Chaos. on the subject ofRoom 237, Jonathan Rosenbaum complained that the critics did not seem to give as much importance to the idea that an artistic work had a coherence with a certain aesthetic approach. Everything could be added randomly, then, without anything holding it together (not even the purpose of randomly joining everything). A coherence that it lacks 3 ads for a crime. The film moves from Mildred’s cry for justice to Willoughby’s (Woody Harrelson) family drama and from there to Dixon’s (Sam Rockwell) incredible transformation, without emphasizing any of these stories, as if they were separate stories that They have sewn with haste. The most unusual thing about the film’s reception is that it is even praised for its perfect dramaturgy. In the denouement, it is not clear whether the filmmakers wanted to mimic the flow of daily life (lacking drama), or risk making 3 connected stories 3 facets of a single drama. Director Martin McDonagh is not Robert Altman to satisfactorily navigate the first type of film, nor is he skilled enough to make a risky variation on classic dramaturgy. The chaos ends up dominating the feature film, unfortunately.

3rd announcement: Redemption. In the foreground we had Mildred’s rage, in the background we are overwhelmed by the desire to redeem our sins. Despite presenting itself as a bold way to put the finger on the problem, the film opts for the recognizable tale of a second chance. One that grants a problematic save to one of the characters, needless to say. 3 ads for a crime deals with conflicts that persist in American society; However, rather than inquire about them, she ends up solving them with a miraculous change. Of course, we all deserve second chances, just as these opportunities have been an inexhaustible source for the cinema to take advantage of them as a repetitive balm. McDonagh’s film is much more conformist than he initially promises. Put this way, the film hides even more the racial and sexist problems that he initially seemed to face, by resorting to the remedies that we have seen ad nauseam. Even more so if you take into account that if we had a unifying pattern in the film, that is not Mildred’s story, but Dixon’s. That said, it is also excessive to attribute a reactionary discourse to the feature film. The filmmakers try to confront our chaotic reality through a bold narrative in which a local drama reflects the contradictions and virtues of a country. A failed attempt, however. 3 ads for a crime tells multiple stories, but fails to make them one.

Now that Big Tech has decided to join Hollywood in creating content, they appear to have embraced their opportunity to help build a new utopia. They have done with this enthusiasm, broadcasting their efforts to overhaul every aspect of cinema from writing to production to casting to thematic content. Where once propagandastic efforts had to be hidden from the view of the public, now it is worn as a bad of honor.
Big tech is even more powerful than Hollywood, and maybe more powerful than any government in the world. If Jeff Bezos at Amazon wants movies at Amazon to reflect a specific ideology he can do that and, as the richest man in the world, the profit motive is not his main concern. He seeks instead, like Mark Zuckerberg, like Bill Gates, and like Jack Dorsey to be emperors of a kind, helping to cultivate our modern utopia.
Amazon has released its new inclusion standards and policies. The press has been mostly quiet about it, because who would dare speak up? What can they say about it? Nothing. It’s their choice. Profit is not a concern so they can tell people what kinds of products they want to make. It’s all in the name of good, right?
It’s one thing to encourage inclusive hirings behind the camera, but once they start getting into storytelling and the formation of characters, content, and theme to promote a specific ideology then we are no longer looking at art. We are looking at full-blown, unapologetic propaganda.
The problem is that once you announce your intentions, people will see nothing but that in your eventual product. Most audiences today, old and young, can see a “woke” message. coming from a mile away. The more a film lectures them the less likely they are to want to watch it.
Obviously, propaganda is nothing new. It has been threaded through most of the mainstream Hollywood films for decades. But what has changed now, I think, is that the left is no longer the side that pushes back against it. This is looking more and more like a kind of list of demands being met or else the company will be called out and shamed on social media. The new doctrine of the new left is a kind of Marxist ideology where inequality cannot and will not be tolerated. Satire, humor, subversive content all seems to be disposable in the Brave New World that we are cultivating.
The problem, of course, is that it might have worked during COVID, during Trump perhaps. But it isn’t going to be something the public has any appetite for in any major way. Film Twitter might be down with it, at least temporarily, but we come to art because we have a need for it. We aren’t coming to art to go to school on how to think, or how we should live our lives. Thus, I expect this will have a negative effect on the films Amazon releases during this era of strident ideology.
We’ll be able to tag this era very easily by the films made right now. They will all have the same kind of messaging. The same kind of casting. And, despite their desire for “Authenticity”, it will be anything but. It can’t be authentic if it’s contrived to serve a specific ideology or meet a list of demands. No kind of art could survive this. Not visual art, not playwriting, not fiction, and not cinema.
When it comes to Big Tech like Amazon or Netflix or Apple getting in on the movie business game, or the Oscar game, the market no longer decides. It doesn’t matter how many people pay to see these films. The public has no say. They don’t care if no one watches them because making them helps their brand. It’s like McDonald’s offering up vegan options or salads. It helps their brand to make healthy foods because they are making their money another way. In this era, brand and image is everything.
It is my hope, however, that art can find a way. If not in my lifetime, hopefully in the next.
Here are a few quotes from Amazon’s Inclusion playbook and Inclusion Policy – imagine being the people hired to monitor the films to make sure they meet all of these criteria. Better yet, imagine movies like The Exorcist, Blue Velvet, Chinatown, Do the Right Thing, Bull Durham, Casablanca, The Player being made under these rules:
Developing Stories and Characters: We encourage pitches, scripts, and stories from storytellers of all backgrounds, including those from underrepresented communities. Consistent with our Content Guidelines, Amazon Originals should reflect the wide diversity of our customers and recognize the dignity of all people by avoiding demeaning stereotypes and harmful tropes. For this reason, characterizations based on race, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, religion, disability (including mental health), body size or image, age, gender, gender identity, and gender expression should be made with care, and in each case will be subject to an enhanced review.
Stereotyping
We discourage stories that solely depict harmful or negative stereotypes, slurs, and dehumanizing language related to identity as well as narratives that link identity factors to jobs, religious beliefs, social class, or behavior.
Historical Depictions
Content that features out-of-date historical stereotypes, language and iconography must avoid gratuitous use of such portrayals.
Cultural Authenticity
When series regulars or lead characters portray people from underrepresented communities (women; underrepresented racial/ethnic groups; sexual orientation; gender identity; people with disabilities), we expect creative teams to make a concerted effort to hire above-the-line staff (directors, writers, producers and/or creators) who represent the identity groups depicted on screen. We will aim for 30% of the above-the-line staff to meet this goal in 2021. This aspirational goal will increase to 50% by 2024.
On the occasion when this is not possible, producers must indicate how they will identify and hire outside consultants/vendors, approved by Amazon, to provide culturally relevant expertise.
Delivery of Plans
Prior to principal photography, Amazon Studios and partners will work together to deliver their plans for how they plan to achieve the Inclusion Policy.
Report on Expectation Achievement
Amazon Studios will provide a report template for each company to indicate whether the expectations were met. This report must be submitted within one month of completion of principal photography and will include:
i. Gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and disability data on production-specific, above-the-line talent (Directors, Writers, Producers, Creators, credited actors) as well as below-the-line positions (department heads and seconds.) ii. A full description of the film and episodic content that’s been created (i.e., storyline), and percentage or number of characters identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and/or transgender, including non-binary, and those with a disability. iii. The number and list of diverse suppliers hired for the production (including women-owned and minority-owned businesses).
Script-Based Descriptions & Stereotypes
The way that characters are described in a script can evoke stereotypes for casting directors, breakdown services, and even those reading for the part. Consider the following when describing characters in your script:
● Is there a reason to specify a character’s gender, race/ethnicity, LGBTQ+ identity, or disability in the script? Does source material specify a character’s identity in any way? Are you deviating from that depiction? Why or why not?
● Are there places where you should specify information about the characters’ background or identity (gender identity, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender expression, or disability) to help with casting? Consider sharing this information only if it is needed for the story.
● We recommend that writers be specific and authentic in their descriptions, to help casting directors and those reading for the part avoid harmful stereotypes.
Gendered or Sexualized Depictions
Sexualization can have negative effects on viewers. Sexualization of characters of all genders occurs on screen, but research indicates that women and LGBTQ characters are more likely than straight men to be sexualized. This begins when the script is written, with how your characters are described.
● Are your descriptions of characters grounded in their appearance, versus their personality? Are there descriptions of girls or women that lean toward their relationships or appearance, rather than who they are as characters? Are you writing about characters who are men in the same way? Are LGBTQ characters solely defined by their sexual identities? Are people with disabilities infantilized and/or desexualized?
● Are LGBTQ+ characters in overly feminized or masculine occupations? For example, are gay characters shown in appearance-related professions (fashion, entertainment, etc.)? Are they excluded from occupations in education, healthcare, or civil service (including police or fire department)?
● Although you may not realize it at the time you’re writing the story, adults are often cast to play teen roles. Consider carefully how these characters might be sexualized on screen. How might the descriptions you write about the characters be impacted if adults are cast in these roles?
Personality Traits
The description of a character’s personality or distinctive traits may lead to appearance-related stereotypes. Sometimes character descriptions are written in a way that draws upon stereotypes or tropes. This is particularly likely when writing women characters, or individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups.
● Are you describing women’s personalities in ways that lead to assumptions about their sexuality? For example, are descriptions such as the “girl next door” used for characters?
● Be sure that your character descriptions do not evoke stereotypes related to women of color. Avoid use of the terms “exotic,” “feisty,” “sassy,” and other words stereotypically used to refer to underrepresented women. It is better to be specific — e.g. the lead is from Puerto Rico, loves to sing, and has a big group of friends.
● For LGBTQ+ women, ensure that personality traits do not play to stereotypes, either about femininity/masculinity or over-sexualization.
● Descriptions of people with disabilities may focus on aspects related to disability rather than a range of characteristics. Make sure your characters with disabilities are well-rounded and defined by more than their disability.
Consider asking the following questions when writing about romantic partners:
● Are women from all backgrounds and experiences defined solely by their relationship or relationship desires?
● Are men shown as dominating relationships or shown in romantic partnerships that revolve around their jobs and/or the demands of their work?
● Are there opportunities to include LGBTQ+ romantic partners in the story? Even if you are not able to depict the romantic partner, could your characters refer to their relational partners in the script?
● Are there opportunities to show underrepresented groups (including non-binary people, people of different religions, and people with disabilities) in romantic relationships that counter typical narratives?
Stereotypes & Humor
We understand that the best comedy can derive from the unexpected and be an agent of truth-telling. We urge content creators focusing on comedy, humor, or satire to engage with their material in deep ways. Ask the fundamental question: Are you the right person to tell this story and/or these jokes?
Begin by thinking about whether, as the storyteller, your humor comes from outside or inside the group at the center of the comedy. Out-group members using humor to mock or joke about characters from underrepresented groups can be highly problematic. Humor may reflect insensitivity, play to broad stereotypes, and reinforce historical tropes for members of underrepresented groups. Creators might try to challenge or spotlight stereotypes that have been oppressive—in other words, the comedy stems from good intentions. But content lacks authenticity when it doesn’t come from or take into account the perspectives of the in-group members at the core of the stereotype or context.
Humor may be used to illuminate the way a group has been treated, and can spotlight important ways that racism, sexism, and other biases and prejudices affect the lives of group members. One impulse content creators may have is to purposefully flip stereotypes or to deploy them in an exaggerated way to create humor. If you take this path, think critically about what role this stereotype has in your story. Make sure that by poking fun at stereotypes you are not inadvertently reinforcing the bias you seek to challenge.
Here are a few things to consider when you include humor in your storytelling:
● If characters from underrepresented backgrounds or historically marginalized groups only appear in your story to deliver humorous lines or as a source of amusement, this is problematic. Ask: Do these characters have any other depth or insight or do they merely serve to deliver comedy?
● If it’s the latter, how can you add depth to the characterization? Or, who else needs to weigh in to ensure the character is not one-dimensional?
● Review the script and story with members of the communities you are depicting to ensure authenticity and limit hurtful humor. Ask more than one individual to review the script/story. What audience members find amusing will differ from person to person. Your goal is to be certain that the jokes do not offend the communities featured in your story.
There is certainly nothing wrong with seeking to make films more diverse and inclusive in their hiring. But when we’re talking about the story, about the theme, about satire, about what can and can’t be included in a film or a story – then you are making movies to adapt to Twitter hysteria. You are not making art. This is something audiences will be able to recognize from a mile away.
We wish to say thanks to the writer of this write-up for this remarkable material

If you take this path, think critically about what role this stereotype has in your story. Make sure that by poking fun at stereotypes you are not inadvertently reinforcing the bias you seek to challenge.
Here are a few things to consider when you include humor in your storytelling:
● If characters from underrepresented backgrounds or historically marginalized groups only appear in your story to deliver humorous lines or as a source of amusement, this is problematic. Ask: Do these characters have any other depth or insight or do they merely serve to deliver comedy?
● If it’s the latter, how can you add depth to the characterization? Or, who else needs to weigh in to ensure the character is not one-dimensional?
● Review the script and story with members of the communities you are depicting to ensure authenticity and limit hurtful humor. Ask more than one individual to review the script/story. What audience members find amusing will differ from person to person. Your goal is to be certain that the jokes do not offend the communities featured in your story.
There is certainly nothing wrong with seeking to make films more diverse and inclusive in their hiring. But when we’re talking about the story, about the theme, about satire, about what can and can’t be included in a film or a story – then you are making movies to adapt to Twitter hysteria. You are not making art. This is something audiences will be able to recognize from a mile away.

The Dr. Dvora Ancora he reiterated his position on Carmen Di Pietro proving his theory two still images that portray the show girl with a completely different eyebrow and, according to her, modified with the botulino.
Guendalina Tavassi, bewildered by his words, replied with irony: «Do you think that by starving on the island you are thinking of retouching?

The professor pointed out: «It is impossible to judge from here whether there has really been a treatment with the botulino. I exclude it and, looking at the photos, I think it is a simple alteration of the face due to facial expressions completely different. Probably Carmen Di Pietro, in the offending photo, she was only amazed by something that was close to her and therefore she raised her eyebrow ».

Nutritional Status Association With Sarcopenia in Patients Undergoing Maintenance Hemodialysis Assessed by Nutritional Risk Index. Frontiers in Nutrition, 2022; 9 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2022.896427
End-stage kidney disease patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) often struggle with malnutrition and sarcopenia, a form of musculoskeletal atrophy that amplifies mortality. Untangling the long-suspected relationship between malnutrition and sarcopenia has bedeviled researchers due to the lack of a diagnostic standard for nutritional health or status. Scientists from Osaka Metropolitan University took a step toward explaining this relationship using a convenient, objective, Japan-developed nutritional risk index, a new approach for early detection of sarcopenia in MHD patients. Their findings were published in Frontiers in Nutrition.
Conventionally, investigating malnutrition in MHD patients has involved complicated nutritional screening tools that often require examiners’ subjective assessments, making them time-consuming and irreproducible. Moving beyond this practice, the research team made use of the Japanese nutritional risk index (NRI), a nutrition indicator designed for MHD patients. “The NRI score is calculated from four objective and routinely measured variables, namely creatinine, total cholesterol, serum albumin, and BMI,” elaborated Dr. Masafumi Kurajoh, first author of this study. “A high NRI score signals malnutrition.”
Sarcopenia is characterized by losses of muscle mass, strength, and function. The researchers collected data on the NRI scores, muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical performance of 315 MHD patients, who were divided into low-risk and medium/high-risk groups according to their NRI scores. The patients with low muscle mass along with either low muscle strength or low physical performance were diagnosed with sarcopenia. Those experiencing all three conditions were considered to have severe sarcopenia.
Results of multiple regression analysis show significant relationships between the NRI score or the NRI score-based medium/high-risk group and sarcopenia and severe sarcopenia, as well as low muscle mass, strength, and physical performance. These findings confirm that malnutrition contributes to sarcopenia and does so through diminishing the MHD patients’ muscle mass, strength, and physical performance. Furthermore, the results indicate the usefulness of the NRI score as a sarcopenia detection tool.
“Our findings suggest the NRI score as a simple and objective nutritional screening tool for early detection of sarcopenia,” concluded Dr. Kurajoh. “The significant relationship between malnutrition and sarcopenia found in our study also signals the need for therapeutic strategies targeting nutritional status to prevent the onset and progression of sarcopenia.”

According to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), glyphosate, the active ingredient in the world’s most widely used herbicides, is dangerous if it gets in the eyes or in water. But “after a thorough review of scientific evidence, a committee has reconfirmed that a ‘carcinogen’ classification for glyphosate is unjustified,” it said. THROW.
ECHA recommends maintaining the current classification of glyphosate. With this, the agency is taking the first step towards extending the authorization of glyphosate on the European market.
What about glyphosate again? In 2015, the World Health Organization (WHO) International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) ruled that glyphosate is “probably carcinogenic to humans.” As a result, with the next renewal of the authorization of the substance, in 2017, the duration of the authorization on the European market was shortened from 10 years to 5 years. Formally, that authorization expires December 15 of this year.
In order to prepare the authorisation, an assessment group of 4 European countries (France, Hungary, Sweden and the Netherlands) started working for EFSA. That led to a advice of 11,000 pages concluding that glyphosate is not a carcinogen. This advice evoked so many responses that the assessment group will issue an amended assessment next autumn and EFSA will not issue a balanced assessment until July 2023. The authorization of glyphosate, meanwhile, is automatically extended until the end of this evaluation process.
Several European member states are not waiting for the decision to be taken and are already reducing the use of glyphosate. France is leading the way, the country has already largely banned the use of glyphosate. Germany wants to ban its use by the end of 2023. Agricultural organizations fear the bans because there are no alternatives (yet) for the active ingredient.
For the time being, the Ctgb’s opinion applies in the Netherlands that a plant protection product containing glyphosate is safe for humans, animals and the environment. Fidelity† Glyphosate-containing products are therefore still for sale, and Dutch fields are still sprayed. The newspaper ignores the fact that the House of Representatives has forced the government through a motion to ban the ‘killing’ of pastures with glyphosate. There was a riot about this this spring.

He won Johnny Depp: ex-wife Amber Heard defamed him. After about 12 hours in the chambers, the jury finally reached the verdict in the process for defamation between Johnny Depp e Amber Heard, who will now have to pay 15 million to her ex-husband. A figure lower than the 50 million requested by the actor but still gigantic and more than double the alimony received at the moment.
The judge reads the verdict Penney Azcarate of the Fairfax Courthouse, Virginia. But when the jury entered the courtroom for the first time, the judge sent her back to the council chamber because the jurors did not assign a compensatory figure for any defamation in their verdict. Then after about twenty minutes the final verdict.
Dressed in black, grim expression, Amber Heard she heard the jury’s verdict in the trial that pits her against ex-husband Johnny Depp in court, while the actor was not present in court. Amber’s sister, Whitney Henriquez Heard, sits behind her.
Johnny Depp was photographed in a Newcastle pub shortly before the verdict in the trial of his ex-wife Amber Heard. The plaintiff is in Great Britain for “previous work commitments” after having witnessed all stages of the trial debate in the Fairfax courtroom in Virginia.

The relationship between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard
Johnny Depp e Amber Heard they met on the set of “The rum diary” in 2011, after a few years of engagement they got married in 2015, but their marriage lasted only 15 months. In 2016, the “Aquaman” star filed for divorce for alleged mistreatment when the actor was allegedly drunk. The couple signed a divorce agreement in 2017, but the publication of the aforementioned article has rekindled the spotlight on the star, which Disney has decided to exclude from the production of the sixth chapter of the saga of the “Pirates of the Caribbean”. Hence the plaintiff’s decision to take legal action and denounce the former partner for defamation, asking for compensation of “at least” 50 million dollars.
In the article, actually written by lawyers for the civil rights organization American Civil Liberties Union, Amber described herself as “a public figure representing domestic violence.” After more than a year of legal skirmishes, the actress had sued Johnny, claiming she had been vilified in her turn when his lawyer, Adam Waldman, called her accusations “a scam.”
During the trial, which in recent weeks has divided public opinion and polarized the opinion of fans, the two actors unsheathed every weapon at their disposal to discredit each other, with audio, video and testimonies, including that of the ex girlfriend of actor Kate Moss, who showed the world what a couple can be capable of in a toxic and sick relationship.

Singer KK came to Kolkata to do a show for Gurudas College. After finishing the show yesterday, he left for the hotel. The singer felt sick there. When he was rushed to the hospital, the doctors declared him dead. Excessive crowd pressure? KK sweating on stage? After the death of the famous singer, multiple information is coming to the fore. Did this singer really enter the green room yesterday? Took a selfie? Did he vomit? This time the entrepreneurs opened their mouths with all these speculations. Opposition groups called for a boycott of the auditorium. When asked about this, artist co-ordinator Bijit Dey told Digital at the time, “More people than ever were present on Nazrul Mancha. But, the way it is being rumored that there were three times, four times more people is a complete lie. Nazrul Mancha with 2462 spectators. The number of viewers on KK’s show yesterday was undoubtedly high. ” He added, “When such an artist comes, there will be a crowd. I also brought KK to Kolkata in 2015 to do a show for Calcutta Medical College. The show took place in their college auditorium at the time. He rocked the stage. He was also on stage for two hours yesterday. It was rumored that the AC was off. In this context, I would say that the AC of Nazrul Mancha was quite active. However, since the crowd was a bit high, the AC was not working completely. Besides, the doors of the auditorium were being opened repeatedly. But that’s not the big problem with AC. “
KK: Why did that happen at that moment? KK’s show host couple is still not feeling well Did KK feel sick before Nazrul left the stage? When asked about this, his artist co-ordinator said, “He got in the car healthy enough after the ceremony, talked, went to the hotel and took a selfie. He fell ill on the way to the room. So the issue of AC should not be added to his illness. ” He was repeatedly wiping sweat during the show. When asked about this, Bijit said, “The relative humidity in Kolkata is quite high. He was performing. In that case sweating is normal. I was talking to him for a show in North Bengal on the 17th. ”

The crowd inside the auditorium was not in front of KK. AC was not off. It’s a complete rumor. ” He added, “The incident is unexpected, but multiple rumors are circulating.

Singer KK came to Kolkata to do a show for Gurudas College. After finishing the show yesterday, he left for the hotel. The singer felt sick there. When he was rushed to the hospital, the doctors declared him dead. Excessive crowd pressure? KK sweating on stage? After the death of the famous singer, multiple information is coming to the fore. Did this singer really enter the green room yesterday? Took a selfie? Did he vomit? This time the entrepreneurs opened their mouths with all these speculations. Opposition groups called for a boycott of the auditorium. When asked about this, artist co-ordinator Bijit Dey told Digital at the time, “More people than ever were present on Nazrul Mancha. But, the way it is being rumored that there were three times, four times more people is a complete lie. Nazrul Mancha with 2462 spectators. The number of viewers on KK’s show yesterday was undoubtedly high. ” He added, “When such an artist comes, there will be a crowd. I also brought KK to Kolkata in 2015 to do a show for Calcutta Medical College. The show took place in their college auditorium at the time. He rocked the stage. He was also on stage for two hours yesterday. It was rumored that the AC was off. In this context, I would say that the AC of Nazrul Mancha was quite active. However, since the crowd was a bit high, the AC was not working completely. Besides, the doors of the auditorium were being opened repeatedly. But that’s not the big problem with AC. “
KK: Why did that happen at that moment? KK’s show host couple is still not feeling well Did KK feel sick before Nazrul left the stage? When asked about this, his artist co-ordinator said, “He got in the car healthy enough after the ceremony, talked, went to the hotel and took a selfie. He fell ill on the way to the room. So the issue of AC should not be added to his illness. ” He was repeatedly wiping sweat during the show. When asked about this, Bijit said, “The relative humidity in Kolkata is quite high. He was performing. In that case sweating is normal. I was talking to him for a show in North Bengal on the 17th. ”

In October 2021, we lost one of the most important names in Brazilian instrumental music. Letieres Leite was another victim of covid-19, at the age of 61, leaving the album unreleased Moacir de Todos Santoswhich, luckily for us, was finished and distributed by the Rocinante label on May 19th.
Next to Rumpilezz Orchestrawho has conducted since 2005, the maestro pays tribute to the Pernambuco artist Moacir Santos (1926-2006), rereading seven of the nine songs in the work Stuff‘ (1965). The album features Caetano Veloso, who sings on the renowned track Nanã – Thing #5and Raul de Souza, trombonist who also died in 2021, in Thing #4.
The album, in addition to being posthumous and tribute – that is, a tribute from a deceased artist to another previously deceased -, has some other peculiarities that draw attention: the recording with three 24-channel tape machines working simultaneously, a documentary about the album, with the participation of the Bahian maestro himself, and the choice of songs from the album Thing.
On these matters, the pavé music chatted with Sylvio Fraga, artistic director and producer of the album, alongside Pepê Monnerat and by Letieres Leite himself, whom he describes as “an expert in giving friendships to others”. The album was recorded at Estúdio Rocinante, by Pepê and Edu Costa. Sylvio is also the director of the documentary, alongside João Atala and Michel Atallah.
Pavé music: I was curious about the way the record was recorded. I saw that they used magnetic tape recorders simultaneously. Tell us a little about this process
Sylvio Fraga: Letieres had a desire to record Rumpilezz on tape, as he did with us on his quintet record. But for Orkestra, it was necessary to synchronize three machines for the recording to happen live (all playing together). This feat – as far as I know, unprecedented – is the merit of my partner and technical director Pepê Monnerat. We even did some work on the studio to accommodate Orkestra, building three more rooms with a deck-balcony that overlooked the woods. Thus, the conductor could conduct (and dance) facing the musicians.
MP: In 2018, Letieres Leite was invited to record the project that, before, had taken place in the form of a show. You participated in the entire production of the record, accompanied the entire recording and artistically directed alongside Letieres himself. What is it like, at this moment, to see such a beautiful project come to fruition and no longer have its creator present for the launch?
Sylvio: In the case of this record, I made the invitation together with Pepê, who also co-produced it. This happened during the recording of the quintet. When Letieres mentioned this show with the Stuff, Pepê and I jumped out of the chair and asked him to make the record with us. A certain irresponsibility, as the studio was not prepared to receive Rumpilezz. Letieres was very generous when it came to trusting the other’s ability: he increased that ability, the potency of those who were by his side. It was one of the great privileges of my life to be in constant dialogue with him, living closely his dream of making this record that was so important to him in so many ways. A small relief is that he could hear the final mix. But I confess that it is very difficult to enjoy this release without him. I write from Salvador while we recorded the album by the group Aguidavi do Jêje, led by Luizinho do Jêje, who I met through Letieres. Luizinho greeted the maestro at the Xirê and we were very excited. Letieres gave me great friendships. He was an expert at giving friendships to others.
MP: The disc has a different script from the arrangement of the songs entitled Thing, by Moacir Santos. How did you choose this sequence of tracks?
Sylvio: Letieres chose tracks in which he saw a clear path to the use of a structured language in the key system of African matrices – without having to “force a bar” to shape the original composition to his vision. In addition, all Stuff would not fit in the 40 minutes of an LP. It turned out that the conductor’s natural selection married time in physical media. As for the order itself, as the disc is a selection of Stuff, it never seemed necessary to us to follow the order. The final order had not been decided between us before the conductor’s death, but he had left several clues about it in conversations and audios.
MP: I saw that you also directed the documentary about the album that was shown on Arte 1 channel. How and when did the idea for this documentary come about and what was it like directing it? Will it be available on any platforms later?
Sylvio: The film was made by six hands, alongside João Atala and Michael Atallah. The idea was to make a record not only of the recording of the album, but also to listen to all of Letieres’ thoughts behind his inventions within the Stuff – and this naturally extended to his life mission, which was always based on the intense search for beauty, was also a pedagogical and militant mission for the causes of anti-racism. The script was not clear beforehand. The documentary premiered at Arte 1 and will have some reruns. After two years it will go to the label’s YouTube.

Jada Pinkett Smith addresses 2022 Oscars slap
For the first time, Jada Pinkett Smith is speaking out in public and in depth about the moment when her husband, Will Smith, slapped Chris Rock on live TV onstage at the 2022 Oscars after Chris made a joke about Jada’s shaved head. On the Wednesday, June 1, edition of her “Red Table Talk” show, Jada, who suffers from alopecia, which causes hair loss, told viewers she wanted to discuss the condition because she’s been contacted by “thousands” of people who also suffer from hair loss since the March 27 awards show. She also urged Will and Chris to work things out. “Now, about Oscar night,” she said, according to Entertainment Weekly. “My deepest hope is that these two intelligent, capable men have an opportunity to heal, talk this out, and reconcile. The state of the world today? We need them both, and we all actually need one another more than ever. Until then, Will and I are continuing to do what we have done for the last 28 years, and that’s keep figuring out this thing called life together.” Later, Jada said she’s battled severe anxiety and “shame” as a result of her alopecia, and hoped to give a platform to members of the “alopecia community” in order to raise awareness about its effects. One of those people was Niki Ball, whose 12-year-old daughter was bullied terribly after shaving her head and ultimately died by suicide. On the “Red Table Talk” premiere in April, Jada briefly referenced “the slap,” saying only that her family was engaged in “deep healing.”

Kate Moss supports ex, Johnny Depp, at his concert in London
As a Virginia jury continued deliberations in Johnny Depp’s defamation trial against Amber Heard on Tuesday, May 31, the actor joined his pal, guitarist Jeff Beck, onstage again at Royal Albert Hall in London. The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star had another longtime friend nearby as he performed, too. Photographers spotted Johnny’s ex, Kate Moss, at the show, which marked Johnny’s third appearance with Jeff since Sunday. According to The Cut, Kate was backstage for at least part of the evening. The supermodel’s support comes after she testified at Johnny’s trial that there’s no truth to rumors he threw her down a set of stairs in Jamaica when they were dating from 1994 until 1998. “We were leaving the room and Johnny left the room before I did. There had been a rainstorm. As I left the room, I slid down the stairs and I hurt my back,” she said in her testimony, People previously reported. “I screamed because I didn’t know what happened to me and I was in pain. He came running back to help me and carried me to my room and got me medical attention. He never pushed me, kicked me or threw me down any stairs. Johnny’s suing his ex-wife Amber over a 2018 op-ed she wrote for The Washington Post that he claims portrays him as having abused her during their marriage. He’s long denied the abuse claims and says Amber assaulted him, not the other way around. Amber is countersuing the star for defamation.
Matthew Morrison was reportedly fired from ‘SYTYCD’ over ‘flirty messages’ that made a contestant ‘uncomfortable’
In the wake of Matthew Morrison’s sudden departure from “So You Think You Can Dance” last week, a source close to the reality show told People the “Glee” alum was fired because “he had an inappropriate relationship with a female contestant.” In his initial statement about exiting, Matthew said he “did not follow competition production protocols,” which rendered him unable to “judge the competition fairly.” According to People’s source, Matthew and the female contestant “didn’t have sex, but he reached out to her through flirty direct messages on social media.” Noting that Matthew and the contestant “never met up off-set,” the insider added, “She felt uncomfortable with his line of comments and went to producers, who then got Fox involved. He was fired after they did their own investigation.” Matthew, who also apologized in his statement to press last week, will appear on the show’s pre-taped episodes until the week of June 15, when a judge is expected to join the panel, which also includes JoJo Siwa and Stephen “tWitch” Boss.
Queen Elizabeth arrives safely at Windsor Castle after lightning delays plane’s landing
Queen Elizabeth II was en route to London from Scotland ahead of her Platinum Jubilee celebrations this week when her plane encountered a bad storm, delaying its ability to land. Once the lightning, heavy rain and hail let up, however, the pilot was able to get the 96-year-old monarch safely to her destination on Tuesday, May 31, according to People. A rep for Buckingham Palace told NBC News “there were no safety concerns.” The queen’s Platinum Jubilee, marking her 70 years on the throne, kicks off Thursday with thousands of beacons being lit across England and in the Commonwealth, NBC reports. Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan will both attend the Jubilee events with their children, Archie, 3, and Lilibet, who turns 1 this weekend. The Sussex family won’t join the senior royals on the palace balcony, given their departure from their royal positions, though, nor will Prince Andrew, according to People. Harry, Meghan and the royal family are slated to come together Friday as well for a National Service of Thanksgiving in honor of the queen.
