Today's installment in my 31-day essay series on John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN is about the illusion of middle class domestic calm in Haddonfield, how Tommy Doyle sees through it, and how Laurie Strode gets swept up in it just as the knife's about to come down.

"By the time she died at the age of 79, she had as strong a star persona as her original screen fashion idol Katharine Hepburn — the kind that made inattentive viewers assume she was just playing herself." Wherein I write about the incomparable Diane Keaton. www.vulture.com/article/the-...

The Unfading Beauty of Diane Keaton

For over five decades, cinema bent itself around her profoundly original image. It had no choice.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

Holy shit, it doesn't really matter at this point but I just finished Monsters, Makeup & Effects: Vol. 3. Been working through this for over a year now & I know it's not really a big thing, but at least I can focus on my other 2 books now. Bummed I can't do a celebration dinner but life is life. LOL

So we got to enjoy a fun experience on Pluto TV today: a movie that B edited is playing right now on the Terror Channel. Very surreal! (So proud of my dude, too, even now)

RIP Diane Keaton
My favourite picture of her where everyone else is giving it their best Blue Steel & she looks like she’s just wandered in off the street looking super cool.
She was allowed to wear her own clothes & her wonderful personality shines out.
What a unique talent & human being.

Oh, excellent timing! Yeah, it's one that I genuinely loved back in 2015 but it just has gotten better for me over time (so funny and so much heart). Also, I cannot listen to "Bette Davis Eyes" without getting completely emotional either.
