Ngubani uDavid Blaine ocinga ukuba ungubani, bonke behleli kwaye bepholile, benxibe iDolce & Gabbana, bethandana noFiona Apple, beklabhu-baxhuma noLeo DiCaprio? Ungumlingo, ngenxa ye-chrissakes. Ngaba ayifanelanga ukuba ziigeek zonke?
Mhlawumbi evakalelwa kukuba angafumana ukwamkeleka okuqhelekileyo kuphela xa ezihlukanisa nee-supermodels kunye ne-hip edolophini zasebusuku, uMnu. Blaine usandula ukwazisa ngokuphumelela ngokungcwatywa komhlaba phantsi kwebhokisi ecacileyo phantsi kweetoni ezimbini zamanzi. Ngaphandle kokutya kunye namanzi amancinci okusela, uMnu Blaine, 26, kubonakala ngathi ulala iintsuku ezisixhenxe kumhlaba kaDonald Trump phakathi kweRiverside Drive kunye ne-Hudson River. Abahlobo, abakhenkethi kunye ne-gawkers bema phezu kwakhe, bezama ukuqonda ukuba yayiyinkohliso okanye hayi. UDeborah Norville, i-anchor yoHlelo lwangaphakathi, wazama ukungasondeli etankini, eqhula esithi uMnu. Blaine angabona isiketi sakhe.
Ukuba kwakungengomlingo, yayiyintoni ke ingongoma? Oku kungaphaya kovavanyo lokunyamezela, utshilo uBill Kalush, umlingani kaMnu. Blaine, owayethambekele kwindawo yokungcwaba kangange veki. UHoudini waphumelela kuba wanika abantu ithemba xa kusiziwa ekuvalelweni. Oku kuchaphazela ukukhathazeka kwentliziyo. Uninzi lwabantu luxhuma kuye, lubona uloyiko aloyisayo.
Njengokuba beyazi, intombazana encinci yeza kuMnu Kalush yamnika ileta eya kuMnu Blaine. Iyayivuyisana naye ngokuzama ukufezekisa iphupha likaHoudini, yatsho intombazana, uRachel Quart waseCharlotte, N.C.
Eyona njongo iphambili yestunt, ngaphandle kokuqhatha indlu ka-Mnu. Trump, yayikukukhuthaza umnumzana Blaine kamabonakude okhethekileyo, uMagic Man, osasaza ngokuhlwanje. Kwizinto ezikhethekileyo – ezineekhredithi ezibandakanya uHarmony Korine njengomlawuli wecandelo kunye noHarvey Weinstein njengomcebisi wemveliso – ilaconic uMnu. Blaine uzulazula kwihlabathi liphela, esenza ubuqhophololo besandla kunye namanye amaqhinga kubantu adibana nabo. Ukwazile ukubonisa isifuba sakhe amaxesha amaninzi. Amanye amaqhinga ngokungathandabuzekiyo apholile, njengaxa ebuza umntu wasetyhini ukuba acinge ngegama, kwaye okwesibini emva koko ityhubhu yeeteksi ezantsi kwesitalato enegama elithi, Dawn, efafazwe ngapha nangapha. Kodwa uninzi olukhethekileyo luziva lungenantsingiselo- hayi ii-cameo zikaTyra Banks kunye noPuff Daddy. Kutheni kanye kanye uMnu Blaine esiya eHaiti nakwimimandla yeYanomamo kwihlathi lemvula laseAmazon? Ukwenza amaqhinga ekhadi?
Nangona uMnu Blaine angakwazi ukuhamba nakweyiphi na iklabhu yasebusuku edolophini, akahlonitshwanga phakathi koontanga bakhe bemilingo. U-Penn Jillette wePenn & Teller usandula ukumhlasela kwiphephancwadi laseNew York, kwaye u-Erika Larsen, owayesakuba ngumhleli we-Genii Magazine, iphephancwadi lezorhwebo labenzi bemilingo, uthi uninzi lwemilingo lucinga ukuba lunokwenza ngcono.
Amagcisa ngokubanzi acinga ukuba iingcali zakhe zikamabonwakude ziyonwabisa, kodwa ukuba akangomlingo ulungileyo, utshilo uNksk. Larsen, utata wakhe kunye nomalume wakhe owasungula iMagical Castle, iklabhu yabucala eHollywood yabakhwitsi. Akanayo i-sleight-of-hand chops efanelekileyo. Usebenzisa amaqhinga athengwe evenkileni, kwaye olo hlobo lwento. [WABC, 7, 10 PM]

Ngoku i-NBC izabalazela ukukhumbuza abantu ngobukho bomboniso. Yimfazwe yethu yemihla ngemihla, utshilo uNeal Kendall, umvelisi womboniso.
Emva kokuphuma kuka Mnu. Kinnear, inethiwekhi yabhengeza ukuba uthotho lweendwendwe oluza kuthatha indawo lude lubizwe endaweni yalo ngokusisigxina.

(I-NYTV ingachonga ezimbini kuzo. Ungathini wena?) Yintoni abafana ngayo? Ngokufanelekileyo, bonke bangabasebenzi be-NBC. UMnu Nelson, umzekelo, iinkwenkwezi kwi-network Ngokukhawuleza uSusan.
Okumangalisa kukuba, ukulinganiswa komboniso ngokubanzi kuphezulu kunokuba babenjalo ngexesha lokuphatha kukaMnu Kinnear, owayesandul 'ukusingatha i-Talk Soup kwaye wangena esikhundleni sikaBob Costas. Ikhredithi iya kamva, abakhokelayo, uJay Leno kunye noConan O'Brien, ababonakala ngathi batsala abanye ababukeli abaya kuhlala ngokuzithandela kwimizuzu ye-150 yabantu behleli emva kwedesika. (Kamva sisiqingatha seyure kuphela.) Ngokuka Mnu. Kendall, kamva utsala abantu abamalunga nesigidi nesiqingatha, amanqanaba obusuku aphakama phakathi kwe-1.6 kunye ne-2.0. Ukuthelekisa, iConan ihlala ifumana phakathi kwe-2.3 kunye ne-2.9. I-NBC yomelele kwinkqubo yasebusuku kangangokuba ihlala ibetha okanye ifane nokhuphiswano oludlala iyure ngaphambili. UConan, ngo-12: 30 AM, utshatise u-Letterman, u-11: 30 PM, kwiidemo eziphambili; Emva kwexesha uhlala ebetha uTom Snyder kwaye ugcine isantya kunye nomfana omtsha uCraig Kilborn. Ngokuhlwanje, umamkeli ngu… David DeLuise (ovela kwi-NBC's Jesse), kwaye undwendwe… u-Sean Hayes (osuka kwi-NBC's Will & Grace). [WNBC, 4, 1:35 AM]

(Abaphumeleleyo ngokwenyani uOscar? Iiakhawunti zebhanki zokwahluka kunye neHollywood Reporter.) Kwinto enokuba sisenzo sobuqhetseba okanye isibhengezo esinqwenelekayo sokwazisa uluntu, i-Universal Pictures ikhuphe iphepha elingasemva leDaily Variety nge-5 ka-Epreli ngenxa yokuhlekisa kwayo.

Umvelisi uJoel Gallen akanakukhumbula nasiphi na esinye isitudiyo esenza intengiso efanayo kwimbali yamabhaso yeminyaka esibhozo. Kwaye kukho isizathu esivakalayo: I-MTV ayizikhethi abanyulwa ngokwabo. Ababukeli bayo bayayenza, ngeposi ngeposi ethunyelwe kubantu abayi-1 000. Abaphulaphuli beMTV abadluli kakhulu ngeeNdidi ezohlukeneyo, kodwa uChucky unokufumana ithamsanqa. Lo mboniso bhanyabhanya wenze kakuhle kakhulu kubaphulaphuli bethu, utshilo uMnu Gallen.

Umboniso bhanyabhanya kaPeter Bogdanovich weVeki
Ukuba uyamthanda uCary Grant njengokuba ndisenza, akunamsebenzi ukuba umdlalo wedolophu wasemva kweMfazwe yesibini ngo-1943, Mnumzana uLucky [ngeCawa, nge-18 ka-Epreli, nge-Turner Classic Movies, 82, emini; kwakhona, njengabo bonke abanye abaphantsi, kwividiyo yekhasethi], ayiyomboniso bhanyabhanya umbi okanye umboniso bhanya-bhanya ovela kumlawuli onomdla nangona enesiphene, kwaye ingabonisi nomdlalo bhanyabhanya oqhelekileyo ngokungaqhelekanga. Yiyo ke, nangona kunjalo, isithuthi esoyikekayo kuCary Grant, onokuthiwa ngumzobi womfanekiso ngokungagqibekanga.
Ukuba negalelo kwimeko yengozi yolonwabo kumdlalo bhanyabhanya kukukhanya okumnyama okumhlophe okumnyama ngumlobi weqonga weqonga weqonga uGeorge Barnes (uOscar kaHitchcock kaRebecca); Uyilo lwemveliso olusebenzayo ngokukuko- ngokuqinisekileyo ekufuneka ibandakanye iiseti zekhamera- ezivela kwindumasi uWilliam Cameron Menzies (umyili weGone With the Wind); kunye neskripthi esinomdla onomdla kumbandela wobuchule babangcakazi ngugqirha wokuqala wesimo sembali u-Milton Holmes, olungelelaniswe ngobuchule kwaye walungiselela iSibonelelo ngu-pro wakudala (kwaye kungekudala omnye wababhalisiweyo ku-Hollywood Ten) uAdrian Scott. Umlawuli uH. (Hank) Umbumbi, owaqala kunomathotholo nakwimidlalo yeqonga, wayemnene kwaye engenaburhalarhume, kodwa oku kuhlala kungowona msebenzi wakhe ubalaseleyo, owesibini ngowona mfanekiso bhanyabhanya u-Cary Grant, ojolise kakhulu kusapho, ngo-1948 uMnu. I-Dream House [ngeCawa, nge-18 ka-Epreli, i-Turner Classic Movies, i-82, i-4 PM], ethi yona idlale ngokulinganayo kwigumbi lokuzoba u-Myrna Loy noMelvyn Douglas.
Eli bali lixelwa kwangaphambili, kodwa lidlalwe ngokungathandekiyo, ibali likaMnumzana uLucky lixhalabile ngokuba ngumngcakazo ogwenxa nothabatha isazisi somntu oswelekileyo esine-4-F ukuze abaleke uyilo emva koko abandakanyeke kumzamo wokunceda emfazweni aceba bilk yonke imali yeqela de, ewe, uyawela uluntu ngoSuku lweLaraine (othandekayo, kodwa hayi umdlali weqonga onobuchule). Okwangoku, abahamba noCary abonwabanga kwaphela ngenguquko yakhe yentliziyo. (Kubomi bokwenyani, uGrant wanika wonke umvuzo wakhe kwimfazwe.)
Ifilimu yakhiwe kwi-flashback, kwaye iqulethe ezinye iindlela zokubuyisa ezivela kwisithuba sika-Orson Welles 'u-Citizen Kane weminyaka emibini ngaphambili (kubandakanya i-valet ka-Kane uPaul Stewart njengeyona inzima). Nabani na otofelwe kwiskripthi (mhlawumbi uGrant ngeScariarist Scott) ukusetyenziswa okunomtsalane kwesingqisho seAustralia esenzelwe umntu ongcakazayo wongeze okuninzi kukhuselo lwesiqwenga. Emva kokukhala kweqhude, uCary owazalwa nguBristol ucacisela uLaraine ukuba i-tit for tat ithetha umnqwazi, ibhotile yokumisa ithetha ubhedu, kwaye i-briny marlin ithetha ukuba i-darlin 'iba yimilingo ye-movie ephefumlelweyo, kwaye ihlawulwe kakuhle.
Ukubona uGrant edlala ngokubabazekayo, enobuqili kwaye elukhuni (ebeka umqulu wenickel kwisibetha sakhe ukuze abethe inqindi elingcono) uye aphumelele ngakumbi xa eboniswa ecaleni kokufunda kwakhe indlela yokuluka ukuze abonakalise iqela lamanenekazi alidibanisayo- ngaloo ndlela egubungela zombini ubudoda-obumangalisayo kunye nabasetyhini-abahlekisayo macala omdlali weqonga. Le whammy iphindwe kabini, idityaniswe nembonakalo yesithixo, yamenza isisongelo esiphindwe kathathu ngokungafani nenye inkwenkwezi eyindoda kwimbali yemifanekiso.
Njengokuba kucace gca kwimiboniso bhanyabhanya yokuqala (emibini kuphela) apho wayetyunjelwe uOscar (akazange aphumelele), ngo-1941 uGeorge Stevens ngo-1941 u-Irene Dunne, uPenny Serenade [ngeCawa, nge-18 ku-Epreli, kwi-Turner Classic Movies, 82, 2 PM], apho abuhlungu khona kwindawo yakhe enkulu ecela umntwana afuna ukumamkela; okanye ngobumnyama obunobungozi kunye nokungaqondakali njengesihogo kwi-Alfred Hitchcock ka-1946 yobugcisa kunye no-Ingrid Bergman, owaziwayo [NgoLwesibini, ngo-Ephreli 20, Showtime, 48, 1:15 P.M.]. Okanye, ngokuchaseneyo, bayazithoba-phantsi hilarious kwiiklasikhi ezimbini ezihlekisayo zikaHoward Hawks, owayedlala indima kunye noKatharine Hepburn ngo-1938's Bringing Up Baby [ngeCawa, nge-18 ka-Epreli, nge-Turner Classic Movies, 82, 6 PM], kunye no-Ann Sheridan ngo-1949 NdandinguMyeni uMtshakazi woMkhosi [ngolwesiBini, Epreli 20, American Classics Movie, 54, 6 PM kunye ne-1: 45 A.M.]. Ayikho enye inkwenkwezi ye-movie eyayinoluhlobo lwoluhlu ngaphakathi kobuntu obuchazwe ngokucacileyo. Singaphuthelwa njani nguCary othandekayo kunye nayo yonke into awayeyimele?
