Good morning!

Since today is Friday and we’re moving into the weekend where we all know…lovers get together and start flapping lips, I thought this should be the write to post…not to mention a “wink and a smile” to my Asian readers.

From NPR:

James Shigeta ‘Led The Way’ For Asian-American Lovers On Screen

Hidenari Terasaki (James Shigeta) kisses the hand of his wife, Gwen (Carroll Baker), in the 1961 film Bridge to the Sun.

Actor James Shigeta had the looks, the talent — and the voice.

“It’s melodious. It’s deep. There is something quite sensuous about it,” says L.S. Kim, a film professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

Kim adds that Shigeta — who died from pulmonary failure on Monday in Beverly Hills at age 85, according to his agent Jeffrey Leavitt — embodied an unusual sight on the big screen: a self-assured Asian-American man.

“In many portrayals of Asian-American men in particular, there is no sense of confidence. And with James Shigeta, his screen presence was as deep and seductive as his voice,” Kim says.

A co-star of the 1961 movie musical Flower Drum Song, Shigeta broke barriers on screen as one of Hollywood’s first Asian-American actors to play romantic lead characters. In Bridge to the Sun, a 1961 film based on a memoir of the same name, Shigeta played Hidenari Terasaki, a dashing Japanese diplomat from Tokyo who meets cute and later marries Gwen Harold, a young white woman from Johnson City, Tenn.

Bridge to the Sun was based on a memoir about a real-life interracial couple living in Japan during World War II.

The ‘Tragedy’ Of Being Asian-American

Only two years earlier, Shigeta had made his film debut in The Crimson Kimono as a Japanese-American homicide detective in Los Angeles caught in a love triangle between his white police partner and a key witness in their murder case. For a black-and-white film from 1959, there was a bit of a surprise ending for Shigeta’s character.

“Oh, he wound up with the girl!” Shigeta explained with a hearty laugh in the 2006 documentary The Slanted Screen: Asian Men in Film and Television.

The plotline became a selling point for The Crimson Kimono. Movie posters showed Shigeta’s character kissing a white woman. “Yes, this is a beautiful American girl in the arms of a Japanese boy!” one poster declared. “What was his strange appeal for American girls?”

In The Crimson Kimono, Shigeta plays a homicide detective investigating the murder of a burlesque dancer in Los Angeles.

Shigeta’s role in that film won him a Golden Globe Award in 1960 for most promising newcomer.

“He clearly had the talent, but the roles weren’t there, because unless there was a role that was written for an Asian-American, he would not be considered. And that’s the tragedy here,” explains Jeff Adachi, San Francisco’s elected public defender who interviewed Shigeta for The Slanted Screen.

A Pioneer Who ‘Led The Way’

In the documentary, which Adachi wrote, directed and produced, Shigeta recalled an exchange he had early in his career with an MGM producer who told him, “If you were white, you’d be a hell of a big star.” Shigeta, who was born in what was then the Territory of Hawaii to a family of Japanese descent, said that encounter was “the first time that [he] had some kind of a clue as to the fact that there might be some discrimination out there.”

“It’s a very difficult business. It’s a constant struggle even if you’re not Asian,” says actress Nancy Kwan, who co-starred with Shigeta in Flower Drum Song. “He was a pioneer. He led the way.”

Shigeta leaves behind a career on screen that lasted half a century. He had smaller, supporting parts in Die Hard and in television series like Hawaii Five-O. But in his earliest movies, he often got top billing and the girl. And for an Asian-American actor, that’s a benchmark still remarkable today.

♥♥♥♥♥

Readers: Congratulations to James Shigeta for a long successful career in spite of the fact that Hollywood couldn’t see past the color of Shigeta’s skin to make him a BIG star. May he rest in peace.

PS: I’m intrigued and swooning from watching the clips…I think I’ll rent the movie. If this doesn’t get you ready for the weekend, tell me what will. Blog me.

Good morning!

Social Butterfly: I can’t believe that I never saw that Robin Williams flick. Thanks for the reminder. I’ll look forward to renting it. I found your other comment interesting as well. All I can say is that perhaps he was a different man many years ago when I met him. I really don’t know. I’m just grateful that I had the opportunity to spend some fun moments with him. :)

Craig, Grey, Rivera, Anonymous: Thank you.

Robert I: Thanks for the info. I have disagreed with so much of how FB drives their business. I kept avoiding it socially for the most part; just checking in every now and then. I am mostly on FB for my business and give as little info as I can in my profile. I am still figuring out if all of it is worth it, and currently my answer is “no.”

And now with this new “messenger app” that keeps popping up on my cell phone, that I can’t seem to get rid of it. Thankfully I learned just how bad it is, and didn’t download it.

For those of you who haven’t downloaded the app yet, I strongly suggest you don’t.  

Here’s the write from Think Progress:

Android Users Flip Out Over New Facebook Messenger Privacy Rules

Users have been denouncing the Facebook’s forced migration to the Messenger app for private conversations since the company announced the move in May. But the seemingly creepy terms to which consumers must agree — such as letting the app make unauthorized calls — has sparked outrage over privacy concerns. And Facebook isn’t taking the blame.

For over a week, Facebook has been pushing users to download the new standalone Messenger app because it is getting rid of the feature in its regular application. Some users were notified that their in-app message function was disabled, and had to download the new app if they wanted to use the private chat service.

But Messenger’s user agreement terms for Android-run devices were seen by many as increasingly invasive and yet another way Facebook was making privacy rights irrelevant. Some of the questionable terms include permitting the app to make calls without the user’s knowledge, take pictures, and record audio and video at any time. The app also reserves the right to scroll through users’ contacts and call logs, as well as glean personal information stored on the mobile devices including data stored in other apps.

However, the social network says its not responsible for the mobile app’s liberal access terms; those came straight from Google. According to a Facebook post on the matter, the company isn’t allowed to write its own privacy terms for Android users.

“Almost all apps need certain permissions to run on Android, and we use these permissions to run features in the app. Keep in mind that Android controls the way the permissions are named, and the way they’re named doesn’t necessarily reflect the way the Messenger app and other apps use them,” Facebook wrote.

Facebook claims it has more freedom to shape policies for Apple’s mobile platform. So far, the app has reached over 4 million Android downloadsand hit number one in the iTunes store, while racking up thousands of bad reviews.

One Android user wrote, “Deleting this sh*t Can’t believe fb made me download this infringement on my personal privacy. No way am I keeping this on my tablet after its told me to agree to letting it take audio and video at whatever time? WHAT.”

Backlash against the app’s terms is just the latest privacy controversy Facebook has had to manage. The social network admitted in June that itperformed psychological experiments on users by manipulating their timelines. News of the experiments, which tried to alter users’ moodsbased on what they read, incited public furor over the company’s continuous push of privacy boundaries.

Moreover, Facebook and other tech companies have been under pressure to tighten their privacy policies domestically and abroad in the wake of former U.S. National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden’s document leaks in 2013. Facebook is currently dueling with European lawmakers, and awaiting a European Union court to rule whether the company broke privacy laws when it gave the NSA access to German citizens’ profiles.

*F*F*B*

Credo: Signed. I am so sick of these thugs with guns killing innocent black boys, and getting away with murder. Someone tweeted, “What the hell is going on in Ferguson?” I want to know what the hell is going on in our country? I just read on the Huff Po of another young black man who was beat up, shot and killed. I am sickened by the racism in this country.

Kimball!!: So sweet to see you here!! Thank you for coming over and commenting. I just saw Lisa R. last night. Next time she’s visiting, we should all plan to get together. xo

Readers: I think this is a good place to end. Your turn. Blog me.

PS: Tomorrow, we’re back to being “Addicted to Koch“…unless something else comes up that I feel like posting instead.

Peace out.

Good morning!

I couldn’t help but post one more time about Robin Williams. He impacted our lives in a personal way through his comedy, films, and personal passions of helping the homeless and AIDS to name a few. Through the characters Williams played, some of his movies addressed social issues that also influenced society and elevated those same issues.

From Think Progress:

The sudden death of Robin Williams has left the world without an acting genius. Williams was able to bring characters of all kinds to life not just for a few hours on the screen; he was able to make them stay permanently in his audience’s memory.

Through these characters, Williams was able to elevate social issues in movies in a way that few actors can. To honor the man, Think Progress assembled a list of seven such issues Williams touched in his films. We give you an excerpt below:

1. Homelessness and mental health in ‘The Fisher King’. Williams earned an Oscar nomination for his performance as Parry, a homeless man suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder living on the streets. The National Alliance for Mental Illness named The Fisher King one of the top movies for mental illness, and while there’s been some debate over how accurate his portrayal of mental illness was, the movie clearly reflected Williams’ personal dedication to the issue.

2. Gay identity and gender expression in ‘The Birdcage’. In a time when it was still relatively controversial to be gay in America, Robin Williams and Nathan Lane played a loving gay couple who fought through stigma and showed their son why he shouldn’t be ashamed to be part of a gay family. It was just one of several Williams films that positively portrayed drag to mainstream audiences, but more than that it normalized gay love and adoption writ large.

3. Press freedom in ‘Good Morning Vietnam’. War and censorship are rarely laughing matters, and in other hands the the 1985 film “Good Morning, Vietnam” could have been a maudlin flop. Instead, Robin Williams took on the role of Airman Second Class Adrian Cronauer and performed with such gusto and conviction that the movie rightly is remembered as one of his best.

4. Addiction in ‘The Crazy Ones’. Williams returned to television last year on David E. Kelley’s sitcom “The Crazy Ones,” playing a character not far from himself as Simon Roberts. Roberts, a recovering addict who had struggled with mental health issues (“I prefer nutjob or psychologically interesting,” Roberts quipped), was still able to build a successful advertising agency around his extraordinary energy and creativity.

5. Domestic abuse in ‘Good Will Hunting’. In 1997’s Good Will Hunting, Robin Williams and his co-star Matt Damon worked together to give heightened national attention — and a human face — to the struggles of those who endure domestic violence and abuse. The role earned Williams an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

6. Deforestation in ‘FernGully’. In the 1992 Australian-American film fully titled FernGully: The Last Rainforest, Robin Williams provided the voice to a fruit bat named Batty Koda, in his first role in an animated film. The plot revolves around a protagonist who leaves his rapacious team of loggers that threaten a magical rain forest, and joins the indigenous magical natives to save it.

7. Single parenting in ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’. In character as Mrs. Doubtfire, Williams addresses the stigmas of divorce and single-parenting, responding to a note from a little girl: “You know, some parents get along much better when they don’t live together. They don’t fight all the time and they can become better people. Much better mommies and daddies for you. And sometimes they get back together. And sometimes they don’t, dear. And if they don’t… don’t blame yourself. Just because they don’t love each other doesn’t mean that they don’t love you.”

BOTTOM LINE: Williams’ characters evinced progressivism and were role models for our lives. He showed us what it meant to be compassionate, open-minded, empathetic–and, of course, how to have a good laugh.

♥♥♥♥♥

Lastly…

Goodbye, to another film legend…Lauren Bacall.…We all remember the line, “…You just put your lips together and blow.”  Bacall was a combination of classic elegance, talent, and grace. Love and condolences to her family and friends. May she rest in peace.

Peace & Love…

Good morning!

I am so saddened to hear about the tragic death of Robin Williams. I am heartbroken. Like probably so many of you, I grew up watching Robin Williams too. First seeing him on Mork and Mindy, and then on the big screen. He was truly one of my favorites – his comedy always left me in stitches, wanting more. He was an amazing authentic artist who had mastered his craft. To this day I still watch youtube videos of some of my favorite comedy acts that he has performed. And like many of you, I have my favorite movies from Mrs. Doubtfire to Good Will Hunting, Birdcage, Happy Feet…the list goes on.

I had the privilege to work with Robin Williams.

Many years ago, I was costuming in the film industry and I was called to work on Francis Ford Coppola’s new movie “Jack” starring Robin Williams, Jennifer Lopez, Bill Cosby and Diane Lane. I had been a huge fan of Williams for so long, I was simply ecstatic knowing I was going to get the opportunity to meet and work with him.

The cast had a bunch of little kids in the film, so Francis decided that it would be good if some of the main characters of the film and a small crew worked together so that everyone, especially the kids, could get to know and bond with each other, before we started filming. I was part of the intimate cast and crew, and for the next week or so, we were going to be rehearsing at Francis’s home in Napa.

I remember the first day I met Robin Williams. I was hanging out getting some of the costumes ready when Robin quietly walked into the room where I was, and a member of the crew introduced him to me. He seemed very shy as his head hung down, not quite looking me in the eye, as he shook my hand and quietly said, “Nice to meet you.” I remember quietly responding back with the same.

That first day was all about Robin playing with the kids. If you remember the film “Jack,” Robin plays an overgrown, 10-year-old child. The shyness I experienced earlier was no where to be found. He was just like a big kid as he rolled around with the rest of the kids.

At lunchtime, it was me, Robin, Francis, the kids, and a few others. I was talking to Francis when Robin sat down with his plate of food, began to eat and didn’t say a thing.

And then it began.

After a few minutes, Robin said a word or two about something…I think it was about the food. Then he cracked some little joke that we all chuckled at. And then it grew into a full blown comedy act, with all of us hysterically laughing.

And then it would end.

And Robin would go back to quietly eating, head down, as if this amazing show of talent never happened. It was quite mind blowing.

I remember speaking to a friend years later who was a “Medium” and she informed me that Robin Williams was a topic of conversation amongst her group of “Mediums.” They would watch him perform and analyze his comedy and conclude that he was channeling many different beings. I found the comment interesting however, I don’t really believe that. I believe he was just a super talented, one of a kind, brilliant man, who was a master at rapidly firing spontaneous comedy that amazed all who watched him.

This spontaneous comedy act would happen almost every day that we ate lunch together. It was one film that I had the most fun working on and as you can see, it isn’t hard to imagine why.

After a few days, the cast and crew were working together like clockwork. And every day that I saw Robin, he would scream out my name, and with his arms wide open he would run and give me a big bear of a hug. He made everyone feel comfortable and never held himself in a light that was any brighter than anyone else. I loved every minute that I got to work with him.

I’m going to miss Robin Williams very much. Hearing of his death yesterday was shocking…I am incredibly sad and emotional. He has brought so much laughter to my life…to the world. I am so grateful that I got to personally be with him and for the fun and wonderful memories that were created. I so enjoyed seeing his talent evolve over the years. I’m going to miss seeing his talent expand even further as he I feel he has gotten better and better with age and wisdom. No doubt he had so much more in him to share with us that we will unfortunately not be blessed with.

Robin: You were the best. Thank you for making me laugh so hard I cried. Thank you for treating me like an old friend. Thank you for giving me such wonderfully funny and sweet memories. I know how much you struggled with your addictions, which lead to so much suffering. I HOPE you can now rest in peace. Sending you LOVE…and my deepest condolences to your family and friends.

Readers: Do you have a favorite movie of Robin Williams? What will you remember best about him? Blog me.

Peace & Love.
