“Shirley only offers constructive criticism. A dance examiner gives constructive comments. How else can anyone improve or correct their mistakes. Shirley is an amazing judge,” one fan tweeted Monday.

“Shirley’s a judge who’s supposed to do her job, but Craig is copying it and nobody says anything. Richie and Fleur’s dances weren’t as good as others, stop making it something it’s not,” agreed another.

One pointed out: “I don’t always agree with your comments, nor do I sometimes agree with Anton and Motsi’s, and I rarely agree with Craig! However, I don’t have the skills or experience to tell any of you that you’re wrong.’

Senior Judge: Many tweeters pointed out Shirley’s balanced criticism of Fleur, with one posting: “Shirley provided an excellent, detailed and helpful criticism.”

However, leave a few strands longer than the bangs but shorter than the rest of the hair on the sides. This creates a nice frame around your face. Wear it with straight or wavy hair.

The hair around the head is of equal length, leaving the neck exposed. Then the hair lengths can be styled with some gel or mousse to give them a bit more texture and movement.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California’s governor on Friday blocked the parole of Charles Manson supporter Patricia Krenwinkel more than five decades after she scrawled “Helter Skelter” on a wall in the blood of one of her victims.

Gov. Gavin Newsom said Krenwinkel, now 74, was still too great a risk to public safety to be exonerated.

“Ms. Krenwinkel fully embraced Mr. Manson’s racist, apocalyptic ideologies,” Newsom said. “MS. Krenwinkel was not only a victim of Mr. Manson’s abuse. She was also instrumental in the violence and tragedy that became the Manson family’s legacy.”

A two-person parole board first recommended Krenwinkel’s release in May after she was previously denied parole 14 times. Newsom has previously rejected parole recommendations for other supporters of Manson, who died in prison in 2017.

Krenwinkel became the state’s longest-serving female inmate when her Manson supporter, Susan Atkins, died in prison from cancer in 2009. Her attorney, Keith Wattley, said he understood that Krenwinkel was the longest-serving woman in the United States.

She and other followers of the cult leader terrorized the state in the late 1960s, committing crimes that Newsom said were “among the most terrifying in California history.”

She was convicted of the 1969 murders of pregnant actress Sharon Tate and four others. She helped kill grocer Leno LaBianca and his wife Rosemary the next night, in what prosecutors say was an attempt by Manson to start a race war.

Newsom agreed that she behaved well in prison, completed many rehabilitation and educational programs, and “showed exuberant remorse.” But he concluded that “their efforts have not sufficiently reduced their risk of future dangerousness.”

She still doesn’t have enough insight into the reasons that led her to commit the crimes or her “triggers for antisocial thinking and behavior” during bad relationships, Newsom said.

The story goes on

“Apart from the brutal murders she committed, she played a leading role in the cult and an enforcer of Mr. Manson’s tyranny. She forced the other women in the cult to obey Mr. Manson and stopped them from escaping when they tried to leave,” he said.

Wattley did not immediately respond to phone and email messages seeking comment on Newsom’s decision.

But Anthony DiMaria, nephew of Jay Sebring, one of the Krenwinkel victims, had urged Newsom to block her release “due to the rare, serious and egregious nature of her crimes.” He said their actions “incited the entire legacy of Helter Skelter, which left lasting historical scars” and inspired at least two ritualized killings years later.

New legislation since Krenwinkel was last denied parole in 2017 has obliged the parole board to believe she committed the murders at a young age and is now older.

Also, for the first time, Los Angeles County prosecutors were absent from the parole hearing to raise an objection, in accordance with District Attorney George Gascón’s policy that prosecutors should not be involved in determining whether prisoners are ready for release.

She and other participants were initially sentenced to death. But they were again sentenced to life in prison, with the possibility of parole, after California’s death penalty was briefly ruled unconstitutional in 1972.

Krenwinkel was 19 and living with her older sister when she met Manson, then 33, at a party, where she said she felt lost and alone.

“He seemed a little bit larger than life,” she testified in May, and she was beginning to feel “that somehow his view of the world was right, right.”

She said she went with him to have what she felt was a relationship with “the new man in my life,” who, unlike others, told her he loved her and that she was beautiful.

Manson “had answers I wanted to hear … that I could be loved, that I could have the kind of affection that I was looking forward to in my life,” she said.

Instead, she said Manson physically and emotionally abused her and others while demanding that they trust him without question, a statement that led the parole board to conclude that Krenwinkel was a victim of intimate partner battery at the time.

It took about two years of traveling and drug use before he began to emerge as “the Christ-like figure who led the cult,” who began talking about starting a race war and asking his followers, “Would you kill for me? And I said yes.”

Krenwinkel spoke during her parole hearing in 2016 about how she repeatedly stabbed Abigail Folger, 26, heiress to a coffee fortune, at Tate’s home on August 9, 1969.

The next night, she said Manson and his right-hand man, Charles “Tex” Watson, told her to “do something witchy,” so she stabbed La Bianca in the stomach with a fork, then grabbed a rag and said, “Helter Skelter “Wrote”, “Rise” and “Death to Pigs” with his blood on the walls.

The bone-handled fork “was part of a set we used over the holidays … to carve our turkeys,” the couple’s nephew, Louis Smaldino, told the parole officer, calling Krenwinkel “a vicious and callous killer.”

Sharon Tate’s sister, Debra Tate, the last surviving member of her immediate family, was among the victims who dismissed Krenwinkel’s explanation that drinking and an unsupportive family led her to growing up with Manson.

“We all come from troubled families and didn’t choose to go out and brutally kill seven strangers,” Tate told parole officers.

A Brendan Fraser We have a special affection for him. why deny Although it has been fourteen years since his last blockbuster and he has long disappeared from the media radar, his character has etched itself into the memories of an entire generation of moviegoers. For those of us who grew up with the adventurous innocence of ’90s cinema, where it had its influence through George of the Jungle and The Mummy.

And now that he’s having a sweet professional moment thanks to the applause he’s receiving for his work The whale, The actor himself opens the door to a return that would surely make thousands of people happy.

And that’s it Brendan Fraser is ready to make another film The Mummy. as they read it in a special report dedicated to his triumphant return for Variety magazine, he said he was open to the idea. “I don’t know how it would work,” he said. “But I’d be open to it if someone came up with the right idea.”

I imagine what they think. Many actors say the same thing when we ask them about the return to a saga or a success of the past, as if it were an answer to the use that in reality does not confirm anything. In this case, however, there are many factors that make it a desirable idea for Universal Pictures.

In the same interview, Brendan Fraser also mentioned the reboot that Tom Cruise played in 2017, that attempt to reboot the story that neither contacted him nor even had. However, the tape was a disaster in many ways. Not only did it receive negative reviews, but it also caused so many losses due to high production and marketing costs that Universal eventually canceled its plans to release a saga about their legendary monsters. It should be titled Dark Universe and The Mummy should be the first part. Fraser saw it and realized he was missing a key element of his trilogy: “fun.”

“That was what was missing in this incarnation. It was a pure horror film. [Pero] The Mummy should be an exciting ride, not scary or scary […] I know it’s hard to pull it off. I’ve tried three times.” That said, Brendan Fraser makes us realize that if anyone knows what this saga needs to return to its glory, it’s the original adventurous and comical spirit. If we give his experience the power of nostalgia and add the media phenomenon that is haunting him thanks to the Oscar rumours, then what better time than now to return with The Mummy 4?

But let’s do it in parts.

Like I said, it’s been fourteen years since Brendan Fraser said goodbye to him (or so we thought). The Mummy. The last time he played the adventurous archaeologist Rick O’Connell was in The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008), a film that closed the story and left a listless aftertaste, lacking in charismatic spirit and originality , which made the saga all a box office hit. They not only changed the director and the leading lady, but also doubled the budget and made less profit. However, the fact that the three installments grossed more than $400 million each was proof enough that there was a special appetite and affection for the saga. And I think many will agree with me when I say that the main reason for its success was precisely Brendan Fraser and the outpouring of sympathy associated with the audience.

If we were to rank this past success with the aftermath of Brendan Fraser’s triumphant return, they would probably be on the same level. Because when The whale premiered at the Venice Film Festival, video of the six-minute standing ovation it received went viral, showing Brendan Fraser mortified by the applause, uneasy but happy, deeply moved.

And the broadcasters didn’t cheer for long on their triumphmotivated by the nostalgia and affection his character harbors for the weight of his films in the world’s memory, but also for the idea of ​​standing before a man who has walked away from fame after suffering in life.

In doing so, the video became something of an iconic image of the triumphant return of an actor associated with the former movie fan of a generation, who was left wide open when he said in 2018 that various personal issues had steered him away from fame. . Forced by the physical consequences of shooting action sequences to undergo surgeries and treatments that kept him in and out of hospitals for seven years. As well as a divorce, the death of his mother and the alleged sexual harassment he suffered from a former Golden Globes president.

All of this underscores the nostalgic niche that surrounds Brendan Fraser and consequently The Mummy, So it’s the perfect time for his return. As an example, we can take the worldwide success of Top Gun: Maverick, a sequel that repeats the same original premise but crowned the highest grossing film of 2022 thanks to the power of nostalgia spun into the 1986 film. Obviously they’re films very different, but if we add to this equation the interest Brendan Fraser is generating with his triumphant return, then we could be faced with a winning formula.

And I don’t think it’s a one-off phenomenon that goes out of style when the world gets to see his work in The Whale. I had the opportunity to see the film at the London Festival and I can attest that its performance deserves all the applause, recognition and the Oscar. Because while Colin Farrell gives us the best performance of his career in Inisherin’s Banshees (I could see it too), what Brendan Fraser conveys as a teacher struggling with morbid obesity trying to reconnect with his daughter as a last chance for redemption , is of sublime interpretative sincerity. Despite the prosthetics that surround every millimeter of his body, the actor intoxicates us with pain in this ode to compassion and self-forgiveness.

So I believe that when the world gets to see The Whale in theaters and his name leads the awards season, the conversation will expand to spark an interest in his name and character that will make the mainstream industry wake up to look back at him. . If you haven’t already. Finally, the impact his return is having on social networks and the media shows us how hungry the world is to see him back on top and triumphant. And if Harrison Ford can once again play intrepid adventures like Indiana Jones at the age of 80, why not Brendan Fraser?

The Whale opens in the United States on December 9th, while in Spain we have to wait until January 4th, 2023.
