Q: Sync hosted Apk in local server with Play store version We have an app published to Google Play, and need to be able to download it in an internet restricted environment.
So after hosting that Apk on local server (as mentioned in Distribute android app from my own server), is there a way to have the local server Apk to sync with Apk from Play, after publishing the updates to Play only.
Other than posting the same Apk to both places simultaneously.

A: I guess you cannot simply publish updates from local server to Google Play dynamically. Even if you spend a lot of time to do it programatically you will have to update your script every time Google Play does upgrade (its kinda often).
But you can write separate service which will check for updates on Google Play and replace existing apk on your local server.
For example there is unofficial existing api for getting apk from Google Play, so your own service can solve the problem.

review / performance
In spite of the fact that Rossini and his librettist Jacopo Ferretti removed all the magical elements from the story, therefore making it far easier to produce, there was more than enough enchantment in the singing, and intermittently in the production to enjoy.

Witchy women
You'd think after nearly 40 years of opera going I'd have seen almost everything.. .twice. Yet I found myself at LA Opera Tuesday night for a special presentation of George Frideric Handel's Alcina which was my first live experience with one of his operas.
By Patrick Mack	on November 04, 2021 at 1:56 PM
Remember that time you went to the opera and the whole evening was like magic? Saturday night at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion probably ranks among my greatest nights in the theater and I'm finding the superlatives in my thesaurus inadequate to the task.

Bertolt Brecht's 1941 play The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui tells the story of a small-time gangster who heavies his way to a position of absolute power within the vegetable trade and city politics, using evasion and violent coercion. It's a gripping piece of crime fiction with plenty of bloodshed, betrayal, corruption, twists and turns. But it's also a meticulously crafted allegory for the rise of Adolf Hitler, and a satire made of more incisive stuff than anything you'll see on Saturday Night Live.
All of this unfolds on Robert Cousins' set, which is somewhere between low-budget Hollywood soundstage and dodgy gangster hideout. Like Wright's adaptation, it's not set in any particular time or place but has enough echoes of Sydney (in his first scene Ui is reading today's Daily Telegraph – the ball tampering scandal cover graced opening night), melded with film noir and crime flicks of the '80s to feel immediately accessible. Stefan Gregory's score, with touches of The Godfather in its operatic sweep, builds delicious tension throughout the entire play.
Fiercely political theatre is frequently just preaching to the converted, but in this case it seems a few of the right people might just be in attendance. There's a decent number of powerful moderate and centre-right people who see STC productions, and they're exactly who could do with this kind of a warning: that it's genuinely dangerous to play with a certain kind of politics and to accept any kind of extremism. That maybe it's not a great idea to stir up fear of 'African gangs' to achieve a political purpose. And maybe you shouldn't use your position as a former prime minister to launch a book written by a powerful individual advocating for a ban on Muslim immigration.


It is Tuesday and that means the dentist is in at the LIFE Center, thanks to a new partnership launched this September between the School of Nursing and Penn Dental Medicine that has brought dental care services to the Center. One day each week, a group of Penn Dental Medicine students join Dr. Alisa Kauffman (D'85). Clinical Assistant Professor in Penn Dental Medicine's Division of Community Oral Health and Director of Dental Services at LIFE, to treat senior citizen at the Center.
The first patient this morning is a 66-year-old man getting partial upper and lower dentures. He is a typical patient-bags of denture to be given out that day crowd a table. Dr. Kauffman, lively and talkative, inserts the dentures, asks about the fit, then hands him a mirror to see the outcome. "You look great. Go to lunch and come back if it hurts." Dr Kauffman advises as he leaves the room with a big smile.
There are more than 20 patients on the schedule for dental care that day at LIFE, all of them elderly, many with infirmities, some with canes, and a few with dementia. LIFE, which stands for Living Independently for Elders, is a program run by Penn's School of Nursing that provides a wide range of on-site services to help elderly residents receive care in the community, enabling them stay in their homes rather than moving to nursing homes.
Now in its 12th year, the program is nationally recognized innovative nursing model of care, according to Eileen Sullivan-Marx, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, RN, Shearer Term Associate Professor for Healthy Community Practices and Associate Dean for Practice and Community Affairs in the School of Nursing. The facility at 45th and Chestnut streets serves residents of West and Southwest Philadelphia.
"I was introduced to the LIFE program and the nursing faculty involved many years ago through mutual involvement in the Bridging the Gaps program, an outreach program in which medical, nursing, dental and social work students work in teams to provide health promotion activities at community sites," says Dr. Joan Gluch, Director of Community Health at Penn Dental Medicine. When LIFE moved to its now, larger location in March 2007, space became available for a dental office, she adds, opening the door for a collaborative clinical program. The LIFE program previously utilized a mobile dental company to serve its members.
"Pen Dental expressed an interest in increasing learning opportunities in geriatric dentistry and we had a need to bring dental care within the LIFE Center," says Dr. Sullivan-Marx, "so between conversation among faculty, associate deans and deans, we met and launched a contractual agreement for Penn Dental Medicine to provide dental services to our LIFE members." Those discussions were first initiated last spring between Penn Dental Medicine';s Morton Amsterdam Dean, Dr. Denis F. Kinane, and the School of Nursing, and by summer, work was underway to turn Room 200 of the LIFE Center into a state-of-the-art dental treatment room.
THE HOUSE CALL GERIATRIC DENTIST COMES TO LIFE.
Enter Penn Dental Medicine alumni Dr. Kauffman, who practices geriatric dentistry two hours north in New York City. Since her days as a student at Penn Dental Medicine, when she liked to spend time in the denture lap, and continuing to her first professional job treating nursing home patients, Dr. Kauffman has had a particular affinity for the needs and rewards for working with geriatric patients.
So in 1988, she decided to establish "NYC House Call Dentist" – a home-based geriatric dentistry who need dental treatment, but cannot leave their homes. She notes that it is a challenge to practice under these circumstances – using mobile equipment, she dies everything from general restorative care to extractions in chairs, sometimes even in beds – but most of her patients otherwise would not receive dental care at all.
Dr. Kauffman spends three days each week treating geriatric patients in their homes through her practice, one day working at four nursing homes, and now since the fall, one day at the LIFE Center as the Director of Dental Services.
The opportunity for Penn Dental Medicine to partner with LIFE came up after Dr. Kauffman had met Dean Kinane at alumni event in fall 2009 and expressed interest in becoming more involved with Penn Dental Medicine. Soon after, she lectured to last year's sophomore class about her unusual practice. It was fortuitous timing and a perfect fit.
Indeed, the collaboration at LIFE between Penn Dental Medicine and the School of Nursing benefits all the parties involved – along with the elderly patients who receive high-quality dental care in a convenient location, there is great education benefit for both dental and nursing students.
For dental students, LIFE offers a hands-on learning opportunity to gain experience treating the geriatric population. It is one of three required community health rotation for Penn Dental Medicine students: the others are Penn Smiles and the Elwyn Institute, which provide dental care, respectively, for Philadelphia public school students and and disabled adults. Typically, two or three fourth-year students go to LIFE each week, and speaking to her in early March, Dr. Glunch estimated that at that time more than 60 Penn Dental Medicine students had completed a rotation at the Center.
might not have been expose to," she says.
She notes that not only did she get to practice such clinical skills as taking denture impressions, cementing crowns, and screening for oral cancer, Meier also learned about the challenge of working with an elderly population, particularly, she says, the need for patience and good communication skills with these clients.
Back in Room 200 on that March morning, there is still a long day ahead for Dr. Kauffman – the hallway is crowded with waiting patients, but she greets each one like an old friend. Although she is working with a similar population as her house-call practice, she appreciate that at LIFE she is working alongside other healthcare professionals and that she has access to state-of-the art equipment.

GOP Rep. Scalise Urges Durham To Speed Up Results Of Russia Inquiry Before November's Election
Martin Walsh
A top Republican is urging U.S. Attorney John Durham to pick up the pace with his criminal inquiry into the Russia investigation and release his findings before November's presidential election.
During an interview on Fox News, Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise said people have a right to know the extent of any misconduct in the Obama administration before they go to the polls.
Scalise, the House minority whip, stressed that former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, could have been privy to the actions taken by the Obama administration in the Russia witch hunt against President Donald Trump.
"Joe Biden has serious questions to answer," Scalise told host Jeanine Pirro.
With regards to Durham's investigation, Scalise said, "I want to see it sped up. I sure have been vocal about that."
He said it is because the election is coming up, and concerns have been raised about the appearances of such an inquiry reaching a climax right before the big event.
"Justice has to be served and not next December," Scalise said. "There is an election coming up, and the American people have a lot of decisions to make. All of this ought to be factored into what they decide. To see some of the dirty stuff that went on all the way possibly to President Obama at the time and Joe Biden when he was vice president."
Pirro then suggested Biden could have been a key player in the Russia controversy by noting the former vice president attended a White House meeting about the Intelligence Community Assessment during the presidential transition period.
"After that meeting, newly released notes show, former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates was asked to stay behind along with then-FBI Director James Comey and was surprised to learn from Obama details about retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn's intercepted phone calls with a Russian envoy," the Washington Examiner reported.
"Biden was very much a part of this," she said. "This is the Obama-Biden administration. … This was something that was discussed constantly."
Scalise's comments come on the heels of the Department of Justice filing a motion last week to dismiss its criminal case against former White House national security adviser Gen. Michael Flynn following explosive new evidence in the case.
Newly unsealed documents in Flynn's case revealed FBI agents discussed the Army lieutenant general's possible prosecution prior to interviewing him, leading Flynn's lawyers to claim he was set up.
In the newly released documents, we learned that the FBI had drawn up paperwork to close the case against Flynn, but fired agent Peter Strzok made a last-minute move to keep it open.
Strzok was fired for sending countless anti-Trump text messages to Lisa Page, a former FBI lawyer with whom he was having an affair. Strzok played a critical role in going after Flynn, the new documents reveal.
Handwritten notes from the FBI — which were withheld from Flynn's defense team for years — show that a key goal of the agents investigating Flynn was "to get him to lie so we can prosecute him or get him fired."
House Intelligence Committee ranking Republican Rep. Devin Nunes also revealed over the weekend that the FBI's original interview summary with Flynn is "missing."
One could certainly make the argument that top brass at the FBI — such as Strzok and Page — may have deleted or altered Flynn's original interview summary to make it better fit their goal, which was to charge him.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell also made some explosive comments, going as far as saying the new evidence could "warrant additional charges against" top brass at the FBI.

Q: Code doesn't work. But does when debugging I need some help here and I couldn't find anything relevant by searching.
So I am writing a C program and something weird is going on. My program crashes when I run it normally but when I debug it, it works fine. I don't get what's going on.
It's an assignment and it's due on Wednesday so I am freaking out a little.
(I am using the CodeBlocks IDE, if that's any help.)
EDIT:
Sorry about not posting this from the beginning, I thought the problem might have been me using the debugger wrong or having to change debugger settings (if that's even possible).
Here is the function that seams to be causing the problems:
double **makeMatrix(struct graph *head, char **nodes)
{
    double **tmpMatrix=NULL;
    int i=0, j=0;
    struct graph *tmp=NULL;

    if(nodes==NULL || head==NULL)
        return NULL;

    for(i=0; nodes[i] != NULL; i++);

    tmpMatrix=calloc(i+1, sizeof(double*));

    if(NULL==tmpMatrix)
    {
        printf("No Memory!");
        return NULL;
    }

    for(j=0; j<i; j++)
    {
        tmpMatrix[j]=calloc(i+1, sizeof(double*));

        if(NULL==tmpMatrix[j])
        {
            printf("No Memory!");
            return NULL;
        }
        tmpMatrix[j][i] = -INF;
    }

    for(i=0; tmpMatrix[i] != NULL; i++)
    {
        for(j=0; tmpMatrix[i][j] != -INF; j++)
        {
            tmpMatrix[i][j] = INF;
        }
    }

    for(tmp=head; tmp->fromNode >=0; tmp= tmp->next)
    {
        tmpMatrix[tmp->fromNode][tmp->toNode] = tmp->length;
        printf("%f\n", tmpMatrix[tmp->fromNode][tmp->toNode] );
    }

    return tmpMatrix;
}

The assignment is about writing a program that is able to read nodes and graphs to calculate the shortes path. Where were given the Dijkstra algorithm to solve this problem. That's why we have to create an matrix we stores the length of the edges.
Also, with the debugger I was executing it step by step.

A: I see a few problems or potential issues depending on all the code and input you haven't shown:

*

*The line:
tmpMatrix[j]=calloc(i+1, sizeof(double*));

should be:
tmpMatrix[j]=calloc(i+1, sizeof(double));

If sizeof(double*) == 8 you might be ok by chance but better to be actually correct

*In the first for loop you seem to be counting the size of the nodes array. I don't understand the use of nodes in this case since it isn't used elsewhere in the function. A better function signature would be to pass the size of the array needed. Make sure that nodes is properly NULL terminated or you'll run into issues. I would also add another variable to make the array size explicit since you reuse i later on, something like:
int arraySize = 0;
...
for (i = 0; nodes[i] != NULL; ++i);
arraySize = i;
tmpMatrix = calloc(arraySize + 1, sizeof(double*));

*For setting values of tmpMatrix to INF it would be better to use explicit array indexes, like:
for (i = 0; i < arraySize; ++i)
{
    for (j = 0; j < arraySize; ++j)
    {
        tmpMatrix[i][j] = INF;
    }
}

This makes it much clearer what you are doing and less error prone.

*You should explicitly check for a NULL pointer in your last loop:
for (tmp = head; tmp->fromNode >= 0; tmp = tmp->next)

If the linked list is not setup correctly then tmp may become NULL and you'll dereference it causing undefined behaviour. Simply add a check to the loop like:
for (tmp = head; tmp != NULL && tmp->fromNode >= 0; tmp = tmp->next)

*You should check for valid array indexes for tmpMatrix inside your last loop:
tmpMatrix[tmp->fromNode][tmp->toNode] = tmp->length;

if tmp->fromNode or tmp->toNode are invalid array indexes you'll overflow/underflow the array and cause UB. Even if you "know" these values should be correct it is far safer to add a check just in case:
if (tmp->fromNode >= 0 && tmp->fromNode < arraySize &&
    tmp->toNode   >= 0 && tmp->toNode   < arraySize)
{
   ...
}

A lot of these points are in the "defensive programming" category. Yes, nodes and head should be NULL terminated and have correct indices, but maybe there's another bug somewhere and they're not, or invalid input was received, or a stray cosmic ray flipped a bit in a memory cell. By checking your inputs a bit more carefully you can prevent UB from occurring and randomly crashing on you like you've experienced.

A natural gas explosion at a Waupaca apartment complex displaces eight residents
Kelli Arseneau
WAUPACA – A natural gas explosion Saturday morning at an apartment complex left all eight residents displaced.
No injuries were reported, City of Waupaca Fire Chief Jerry Deuman said.
The explosion occurred shortly after 9 a.m. Saturday, when a snowplow struck a gas meter, causing a gas leak in the building at 517 Wisconsin St., Deuman said.
"Gas entered the building and ... we are thinking right now that the boiler or the water heater kicked in and blew out part of the wall," he said.
Damages to the building are estimated at around $400,000, Deuman said.
With help of the Red Cross and Waupaca County Department of Health and Human Services, all eight residents were relocated to temporary homes.

Petrol Can No Longer Sell at N180 in Oyo, Osun — IPMAN
By Todaysplash.com October 26, 2022 Updated: October 26, 2022 No Comments2 Mins Read
The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has said that selling Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) at N180 can no longer be feasible in Oyo and Osun states.
Mr Mutiu Bukola, Chairman of IPMAN's Ibadan Depot, which serves Oyo and Osun states, stated this to newsmen in Ibadan on Wednesday.
He said that PMS price will now increase to N195 per litre in both states, due to scarcity
Meanwhile, queues were resurfacing in some petrol stations in Ibadan today, as PMS became scarce.
It was gathered that the long queues were a result of the rumour of scarcity of petrol across the country.
IPMAN has, therefore, said that its members would increase the pump price, stating this decision was necessary to avoid the long queues in Oyo and Osun.
Bukola explained that it is not possible for members of the association to sell at the old price.
He added that this is due to the increment in the landing cost and the cost of transportation.
He said, "We can't buy petroleum in Lagos again. Whatever we see, they are selling for us at the rate of N178 without transport.
"The landing cost is now N195. If we buy at the rate of N178, it will take a minimum of N12 to get to Ibadan. If you add N178 to N12 you will know how much it will be. We are struggling to ensure that queues are no more in the petroleum stations.
"But, we will be selling at N195 in Oyo and Osun", he concluded.

Old and Rare Books from Erasmushaus
Rare Book List V.
Erasmushaus has issued their Rare Book List V. Erasmushaus offers a wide range of material, the focus being on the antiquarian, often very early in printing history. They are a Swiss bookseller, and there being no such language as Swiss, they naturally draw from a variety of sources. Some were published in Switzerland, others elsewhere in Europe, while the languages are as varied as those spoken in Switzerland. Here are a few of the selections from this latest catalogue.
We begin with the item which presented that amazing picture on the cover. Item 6 is Mission from Cape Coast Castle to Ashantee, with a Statistical Account of that Kingdom, and Geographical Notices of Other Parts of the Interior of Africa. Published in 1819, the author was Thomas Edward Bowdich, an English traveler whose uncle was Governor of the British settlements on the African Gold Coast. The inland territory, then known as the Ashanti Empire, is part of what is today Ghana. Bowdich's uncle got him an appointment and he traveled to visit the Governor of Accra as an emissary of Britain. He was able to secure a treaty between his country and the Ashanti King, a first for the British. On returning home in 1818, Bowdich began writing his description of the Ashanti Empire and its culture. It proved so popular that it quickly was translated to several other languages. Europeans knew next to nothing about most of Africa then. Unfortunately, Bowdich returned to Africa in 1824 to explore other areas, contracted malaria, and died. Priced at CHF 1,800 (Swiss francs, or approximately $1,813 in U.S. dollars).
René-Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur may not have picked a favorite type of animal to describe and illustrate, but all animals deserve a time to shine. Réaumur wrote about insects. In fact, he published six volumes on them one at a time between 1734-1742. The title is Mémoires pour servir à l'Histoire des Insectes. Réaumur wrote about and studied many subjects. As a young man, his focus was on mathematics and geometry. He later gravitated to sciences, including this extensive study of insects. Erasmushaus notes, Réaumur "applied in his six large volumes on insects, precise observation, detailed experimentation, and accurate recording to phenomena as varied as social life, parasitic habits, and leaf-mining." The volumes contain 267 plates by Philippe Simonneau and Helene du Moustier de Marsigli. Item 45. CHF 3,500 (US $3,514).
Next we have another book on insects, but this one is more suitable for English speakers. The title is The Book of Nature, or the History of Insects. The author was Jan Swammerdam and it was published in 1758, though this was almost a century after it was written. Swammerdam was a Dutch physician and biologist whose attention after medical training quickly turned to insects. He published a book on them that was widely read as he became expert on a life form in which few had much interest in the 17th century. His Book of Nature was a more thorough study of insects, as he made discoveries such as that they propagate by eggs, have internal structures similar to other animals, that it is the same animal at the conclusion of metamorphosis, not a new being. He also studied muscles and what makes them contract. Unfortunately, he never got to publish his second work. Swammerdam died at age 43, his book still in manuscript form. It remained in private hands until purchased by Dutch physician and botanist Herman Boerhaave. Boerhaave understood its importance and ten years later had it published. It was later translated to English, edited by John Hill, with a biography of the author written by Boerhaave, and with notes added by the author of the previous item, Réaumur, and others. Item 50. CHF 2,800 (US $2,811).
This one is for people who do not like insects. It comes from Charles Darwin, and it is evolution's ultimate revenge on bugs. The title is Insectivorous Plants, published in 1875. These are the plants that eat insects instead of the other way around. Most familiar is the Venus flytrap that quickly surrounds an insect that lands on it, trapping it. It then, in a manner of speaking, eats the bug. Actually, it skips the chewing and swallowing stage and the trap acts like a stomach, generating digestive juices to digest its prey. This evolutionary adaptation is found in areas where the soil is poor in nutrients, enabling the plant to supplement what it gets from the ground with an occasional piece of meat. Item 14. CHF 800 (US $803).
Jacques Cazotte was an 18th century French writer who some consider the originator of the fantasy novel. He wrote numerous books, but this is his most famous, Le Diable Amoureux (the Devil in love). The Devil falls in love with a young Spanish gentleman, changing its appearance to that of a seductive woman. It combines fantasy, the occult, with the eternal battle between good and evil. It was published in 1772, and in the years ahead, Cazotte drifted further into exploration of the occult. He died in 1792, and any deaths in France during that year immediately raise suspicions. Our fears are justified. While he wouldn't seem to be a controversial figure, Cazotte wrote some letters that were deemed counterrevolutionary. That's all it took during the French Revolution. At the age of 72, Cazotte had his head chopped off. Item 9. CHF 3,500 (US $3,514).

June Traffic Accidents Kill Six
Michelle Hannon Tri-Community	Traffic Accidents, Tri-Community
June has proven to be a deadly month, with six auto-related deaths in and around the Tri-Community. Roadside memorials have become a familiar and frequent site along our local roads that continuously remind us that something needs to be done to stop these senseless deaths.
Phelan – On Wednesday, June 10th, at approximately 8:15am there was a head-on collision on Highway 138 between Sheep Creek and Highway 2. San Bernardino County Fire responded, one person was airlifted due to major injuries, and four other people had less critical injuries. The tragedy involved a GMC and a Minivan.
West Cajon- On Saturday, June 13th, at approximately 7am on Highway 138 near Fern Cove Drive, West of the I-15 freeway, there was a head-on collision that left two people dead. This tragedy involved a green four-door sedan and a truck. The truck was on fire; one person from each vehicle died from injuries. San Bernardino County Fire arrived with the truck fully engulfed.
Pinon Hills- On Wednesday, June 17th, about 3:45am, again on 138 eastbound near Lone Pine Canyon, a 25-year-old female pedestrian was tragically struck and killed by a black Hyundai. She was running in the number one lane. San Bernardino Fire responded.
Pinon Hills- On Thursday, June 18th, about 7:30pm on 138 near Oasis Road, a tragic triple vehicle accident left three people dead and one other person in critical condition. The vehicles involved were a burgundy Honda Accord and a Silver Infinity G35, and a third vehicle.
All four accidents are under investigation by the CHP. Just two years back, the Tri-Community had an average of 12 auto-related death in one year, far too many. Sadly, the death toll is at half that average in just the month of June, this year.

By gshapiro
The concept of singer/songwriters revisiting their work in new and different settings is not an original one. Some of the most interesting include Joni Mitchell's Travelogue, Cyndi Lauper's The Body Acoustic, and, more recently, the Indigo Girls' Live with the University of Colorado Symphony Orchestra. On In the Blue Light (Legacy), a new studio album that marks Paul Simon's return to the Sony Music family of labels, the legendary artist offers "fresh perspectives" on ten of his favorite songs. That's an important distinction, because if you were expecting to hear some of your favorites, you'll have to look elsetwhere. Simon reaches as far back as 1973 for "One Man's Ceiling is Another Man's Floor" (from There Goes Rhymin' Simon), a song that is likely a fan-favorite as well. The only other song from a 1970s album, "Some Folks' Lives Roll Easy" (from 1975's Still Crazy After All These Years) is given a stripped-down jazz-oriented reading (featuring Jack DeJohnette on drums and Joe Lovano on sax). Of Simon's 1980s songs represented here (from One-Trick Pony and Hearts and Bones), it's "Rene and Georgette Magritte with
Their Dog After the War" (from the latter) that is the most memorable. Perhaps the strangest aspect of In The Blue Light is the number of songs (four) from 2000's mostly forgettable You're the One album, none of which has the impact of new rendition of "Questions for the Angels" (from 2011's So Beautiful or So What). On the gorgeous (and bare-bones) EP Great Thunder (Merge), Waxahatchee (aka Katie Crutchfield) reinvents six songs she recorded as the duo
Great Thunder (along with Keith Spencer of Swearin'). Joined by musicians Brad Cook and Zach Hanson, Waxahatchee turns songs such as "Takes So Much," "Slow You Down," "You're Welcome," and "Singer's No Star" into utterly breathtaking experiences. Contrary to the aforementioned song title, this singer is a star. As is often the case with EPs, this one will leave you longing for more. Regardless, Great Thunder is very highly recommended! Since the beginning of the 21st century, singer/songwriter Judith Owen has usually found a way to incorporate cover tunes on her albums of original material. As you might have gleaned from the title, her latest, rediscovered (Twanky), is Owen's interpretation of a dozen songs written by others. Joni Mitchell, to whom Owen has been compared, is represented by two late-career songs (thankfully, Owen avoided "River" or anything else from Blue), "Cherokee Louise" and "Ladies Man," both of which are presented in reverential versions. Owen's choices, in both material and arrangements, are alternately rewarding and bizarre. Her takes on Justin Timberlake's "Can't Stop the Feeling," Chris Cornell / Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun" and the Beatles' "Blackbird" are all pleasing. But a ballad reading of "Summer Nights" (from Grease) comes to a grinding halt, a damp version of "Smoke on the Water" and a tepid version of Donna Summer's "Hot Stuff" are questionable at best. If Bob Dylan could record a Frank Sinatra album, wasn't it only a matter of time until Willie Nelson would do one? Nelson, a highly respected songwriter in his own right, with a history of making albums of pop standards (see 1978's Stardust), sings Sinatra on My Way (Legacy). Perhaps it's Nelson's age, 85, that makes these songs sound both sweet and melancholy. After all, Sinatra was a much younger man when he first recorded "One for My Baby (And One More for the Road)," "I'll Be Around," "Summer Wind," "Fly Me to the Moon," "My Way," and even "It Was a Very Good Year," and "Young at Heart." Still, it's a pleasure hear Nelson having his way with these classics. Brazilian vocalist Luciana Souza applies a poetic twist to her new album The Book of Longing (Sunnyside). Souza, who wrote all the music, has set poems by Leonard Cohen, Emily Dickinson, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and Christina Rosetti to music. That counts as covers, right? Standouts include Souza's musical reinventions of Cohen's "Night Song" and "Paris," Dickinson's "We Grow Accustomed to the Dark," Rosetti's "Remember," and Millay's "Alms." Currently starring on Broadway (at the time of this writing) as Elphaba in Wicked, Jessica Vosk has a voice as big as Times Square. For her debut album Wild and Free (Broadway Records), Vosk draws on a variety of sources for a varied and enjoyable album. She knows her way around a pop song, as you can hear on her interpretations of Sia ("Chandelier"), Prince ("Nothing Compares 2 U"), Melanie ("Brand New Key"), Jon Bellion ("Woke the Fuck Up"), and Jessie J ("Masterpiece"). As expected, Vosk also dips into the show tunes pool, performing songs from Chess ("Nobody's Side"), Waitress ("What Baking Can Do"), The Secret Garden ("Hold On"), and Funny Girl ("The Music that Makes Me Dance"). Like Jessica Vosk, Mandy Barnett has a strong connection to the stage, having portrayed country music legend Patsy Cline in the musical
Always … Patsy Cline. On Strange Conversation (Thirty Tigers), her first album in five years, Barnett covers Sonny & Cher ("A Cowboy's Work is Never Done"), Tom Waits ("Puttin' On the Dog"), and Neil Sedaka ("My World Keeps Slipping Away," as well as country and blues standbys Lee Hazelwood ("The Fool"), Ted Hawkins (the title tune), and Andre Williams ("More Lovin'" and "Put a Chain on It"). Who Runs the World (Rockabye Baby) is the latest installment in the series of bedtime albums in which rock and pop songs are transformed into soothing, instrumental lullaby versions. In case you didn't guess from the title, this album includes songs by female music legends, including Beyoncé ("Run the World"), Janet Jackson ("What Have You Done For Me Lately"), Sia ("Chandelier"), Missy Elliott ("Work It"), Madonna ("Express Yourself"), Miley Cyrus ("Wrecking Ball"), Taylor Swift ("Look What You Made Me Do"), and Rihanna ("Work").

Since we're talking about things we love- or maybe don't love- this month, it seems like a good time to reminisce about my life-long love od snow. This is my older brother, the winter I was born. Too bad no one photographed the time about two years later when he dragged me through the snow in a cardboard box, oblivious of my screams. The cardboard had worn through and so had my snowsuit.
But I soon forgot it. I was a lways the one who wouldn't come in even when my nose looked like Rudolph. In my early teens, I learned to ice skate, and in winter, my brother and I spent many a night in the moonlight skating on the town reservoir.
I really missed ice skating when we moved to Oklahoma. Not that winters aren't cold or snowy there. But the weather is, well, less predictable. This is April Fools Day, 1969. A foot of snow.
In Colorado, we saw a winter with snow o n the ground all but 15 days. We loved to go into the mountains for even more of the stuff. Left to right, the kids are Lori, 7, Jeannie, 4 and Andy, 9. The dogs are Lily, mutt Muttsy, and Jack.
Here's a grown-up Jeannie, Andy and me (not sure I grew up) in the Ape Cav es on Mt St Helens in winter. We had to slide down those stairs behind us to get in, and getting out was interesting.
One of my favorite homes was on Horseshoe Lake in Woodland, WA. The view over the lake made both winter and summer special.
Our dogs may have loved the snow, but our cats didn't necessarily agree. Alright, none of them did. Jinx's first winter, New Years Day 2001. She thought her world had died.
Camellias blooming in the snow, March 28, 2008.
Jinx had no interest in blooming camellias.
Nope, still doesn't. Today, same window.
The tree outside is more than twice as tall, but that's about all that's changed. In fact I couldn't even get her into the window until I bribed her with kitty treats. But once she saw the value of posing, I couldn't get her out of the window.
Love the pics, particularly of Jinx. I must admit that I've never been in love with snow. I do like to visit it in the mountains on occasion. Or having a single day where it's beautiful I don't have to go outside is nice. But all this past week in downtown Portland? Not so much. I moved down from Mt. Hood to the city so I wouldn't have to commute in this stuff. Ah well, I'm glad someone loves it.
Thanks, Maggie. You notice I'm not the one driving these days, although I did learn early how to drive on ice and snow, and never really feared it.
And these days, I enjoy it more from the window than out crunching as I walk. Right now we have 6 more inches than this afternoon when I took that last photo. I doubt if we'll go anywhere tomorrow. And we're prepared if the electricity goes out.
I love the snow, but don't like the cold! Yeah, I know, can't have one without the other. And I really dislike the ice–we've had freezing rain off and on since late last night. So I'm not going anywhere right now!
It sure is pretty though!
I most appreciate snow when it's out of my area — about a thousand miles away is okay. Otherwise? Nice to look at, pretty to behold, get suckered in, you're too darn cold!

As you can see, what I want to do is get the user input and take that input and output it to html. The text stuff works fine, but I can't get the image to upload! What I want to do is have the user click upload, get a confirmation, then click submit and they are sent to the generated html (cfm) page. On the page is a resized version of the image they uploaded.
Please tell me what I'm doing wrong!  Right now when "upload" is clicked, the form just dumps.

A: It's because of you forgot to assign enctype="multipart/form-data" to your first cfform. I've edited some of your coding. Check it out.
<cfset strPath = ExpandPath( "./" ) />
<cfset strPath = GetDirectoryFromPath(GetCurrentTemplatePath()) />

                        value="Submit">

</cfform>

A: You might want to look into using <cfdiv> for the image upload section.  Basically you want the form for image uploading be inside the <cfdiv>, so that the form is submitted through ajax.  Have the image form action post to a previewImage.cfm that uses <cffileupload>,  validate with isImageFile() if it is an image file, then use <cfimage> to resize it and display a thumbnail (may use action="writetobrowser").  The easiest way to associate the uploaded image with the parent form would be storing the file path in Session I guess, if you don't want to code up extra Javascript.

10 Terrifying Elderly Villains in Horror
We always talk about how scary kids are in horror, but the elderly can be pretty terrifying too...
...And they often know how to hide their villainy better as well!
With IFC Midnight's Relic just a day away from releasing on VOD, a film which follows the terror of a family dealing with a grandmother suffering from dementia and possibly other sinister forces, I thought it would be fun to take a look back at some of the scarier elderly villains in horror, and why younger people should never underestimate their elders.
Check out the list below, and let us know who some of your favorites are!
Mary Shaw, Dead Silence (2007)
Beware the stare of Mary Shaw…She had no children only dolls…And if you see her in your dreams…Be sure to never ever scream. Hot off the success of their revolutionary horror flick, Saw, director James Wan and writer Leigh Whannell came out with Dead Silence, a creepy little number about the ghost of an old woman named Mary Shaw (Judith Roberts), her puppet, and her tongue-stealing ways. Overlooked because it wasn't the masterful shock that Saw was, the film is still an atmospheric scare fest led by a terrifying performance from Roberts that will make your eyes bug out. Just don't scream, or it could be your last.
Gabriel and Hilary, Dolls (1987)
Another underrated film on this list, Stuart Gordon's Dolls is unlike his gory Lovecraft adaptations, instead playing out like a childish horror fantasy in which a young girl and her abusive parents find themselves lost and at the door of a creepy house in the woods. Only the occupants inside don't bare the resemblance of the outwardly frightening witch from Hansel and Gretel…at least, not on the outside. Internally, though, we can see old couple Gabriel (Guy Rolfe) and Hilary (Hilary Mason) calculating with a sinister candor as they stay one step ahead of their "guests" for the night, all before revealing their twisted nature towards the end. These two are scarier than green witches with long, wart-covered noses, because their dark power hides behind warm faces that aren't at all warm on the inside, especially if you're an unimaginative adult.
The Blind Man, Don't Breathe (2016)
To put Stephen Lang on an "old people" list feels like a recipe to get my ass kicked by a very buff and very intimidating Lang, but that's exactly why his character in Fede Alvarez's Don't Breathe is here. A spin on Wait Until Dark with a little People Under the Stairs thrown in, the thieves which break into Lang's home in Don't Breathe immediately regret thinking of him as anything close to helpless just because he's blind. Throughout the entire film, Lang is a BEAST of a man that cracks skulls and makes intruders look utterly helpless, with a voice that carries through his dark home like the angry rumblings of a dragon disturbed in its lair. There are two lessons to take from this: just because someone is disabled, does not mean they're not a badass that can still mess you the hell up. And 50s can be the new 20s. Just do whatever Lang is doing.
Mrs. Ganush, Drag Me to Hell (2009)
Okay, I know I just said with Dolls that inner evil is more horrifying than outward evil, but you know what, there are exceptions and Drag Me to Hell's pissed off gypsy woman, Mrs. Ganush (Lorna Raver), is that exception. Your standard one-eyed, wart infested, snot-hawking nasty old "witch", Mrs. Ganush wears her frightening powers on her sleeve, unsettling Christine (Alison Lohman) from the moment she enters her life so badly that Christine at one point throws her off of her, recoiling at the woman's touch. Well, turns out that's just the beginning for Christine, as the move opens up a can of cursed whoop-ass on her, leading to a confrontation in a car that may be one of the most intense in horror history. Mrs. Ganush is the "gross" kind of scary, the one that makes you squirm and cringe. There's nothing quite like a nasty old woman raging and mouthing your jaw with her toothless gums to really make an audience squeal. And that's before she shows back up as a rotting corpse…
Vincent and Ida, Motel Hell (1980)
Okay, so cannibal couple Vincent (Rory Calhoun) and Ida (Nancy Parsons) may not be all that scary as people (in fact, they're goddamn delightful through most of Motel Hell), but it takes all kinds of critters to make farmer Matt's list fritters. It's what the Smith's do that makes them a couple of old folks you'd never want to run into. There are people on this list that beat, maim, turn others into dolls, and kill, but you know what they don't do? They don't cut out your tongue and bury you in the ground with a sack over your head until you're ripe for eatin'! The method is what makes the Smith's so unbelievably terrifying. Plus, the image of ole Vincent running around with a chainsaw in a bloody pig head isn't exactly the thing pleasant dreams are made of.
The Tall Man, Phantasm (1979)
Booooooy, you know why this one's on the list. Probably the most well-known villain mentioned here, Phantasm's The Tall Man (Angus Scrimm) is an iconic image of lanky terror. Maybe it's not factual to list this extraordinarily tall, yellow-blooded, dimension hopping, corpse crushing grave robber as an "old timer", but that doesn't stop him from being the very visage of America's strict grandfather slapping hands with rulers in the name of obedience, or in this case…wherever he's from. Is The Tall Man a dream, or are he and his blood-sucking spheres an all too real embodiment of our fear of old age and death? Whatever the case, The Tall Man has been giving us nightmares for over forty years now.
Kane, Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986)
If there's anyone on this list who can rival The Tall Man in iconicism, it's Reverend Kane (Julian Beck) from the not nearly as good sequel, Poltergeist II, one that's remembered almost entirely for how insanely unnerving Beck is in the role. While most others on this list appear relatively normal at first glance, Kane is the cackling face of bastardized religion, skin stretched back so we can see the rot of his soul underneath more clearly. Ask anyone which "old person" in horror terrified them as a kid, and nine times out of ten, you're going to hear Kane's name mentioned.
Grandpa, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
When you think of what makes Tobe Hooper's Texas Chainsaw Massacre "scary", it's often the gritty, unclean atmosphere of the film. The raw visualization of depravity and a failed economy turning Americans against one another, as shown through the chainsaw-wielding Leatherface (Gunnar Hansen). Hell, this film is so well-directed and emotionally revolting, it had audiences thinking they had just seen a gorefest, despite containing very little gore at all. But at the heart of all of that, one of the most disturbing elements of it all is the brief appearance of Grandpa (John Dugan), an empty husk of a man left mute and near catatonic by old age. Why? Aside from the stomach-churning moments of Grandpa trying to knock Marilyn Burns in the head with a hammer while she screams her head off, Grandpa is the source of the madness in the Sawyer family. His madness, his cruelty, his evil, created them. And they went with it. Because human beings tend to "respect thy elder" to a point of blind obedience. And men like grandpa use that obedience to twist the beliefs of any who would follow.
Deborah, The Taking of Deborah Logan (2014)
Most of the characters mentioned so far have been ones that reflect the dread of old age that we all feel, but very few of their stories are actually about age. Not the case in The Taking of Deborah Logan, which is quite possibly one of the most gut-wrenching horror flicks out there when it comes to this subject. Deborah (Jill Larson), allows a film crew to document the progression of her Alzheimers, a terrible disease which I've witnessed first-hand. Over the course of the film and through Larson's brilliant performance, Deborah is found wandering in the dark. She has sudden outbursts of rage. Her body begins to take on a more decrepit, almost inhuman appearance. All to the point where others wonder if it's the disease, or if Deborah has actually become possessed. The terrifying thing about the film is that nearly everything Deborah does is a symptom of Alzheimers. The Taking of Deborah Logan and the character of Deborah fall squarely into that category of "real" horror that strikes too close to home for comfort.
Nana and Pop Pop, The Visit (2015)
Following a downward slope in which The Sixth Sense director M. Night Shyamalan saw increasingly negative feedback with releases such as The Village, Lady in the Water, The Happening, and The Last Airbender, many fans and studios seemed to have given up on the creative but flawed filmmaker. And then came The Visit. Many overlooked this story about a couple of kids who go to stay with their grandparents, only to find that they're behavior is anything but ordinary, but for those that did give it a chance, they were given one of the better found-footage horror flicks of the last few years, and the introduction to creepy grandparents Nana (Deanna Dunagan) and Pop Pop (Peter McRobbie). Another film which begs the question throughout of are the grandparents suffering from dementia or is there something more sinister going on, this frightening portrayal of the elderly also forced audiences to face the unsettling truth of old age in a nightmarish and underrated gem from Shyamalan.

I love this, because that's what my memoir is all about. Reconciling my dad's multifacted nature.


30 year old female who suffered from Bulimia and Anorexia. The erosion on her lower teeth was from this disorder; her lower teeth were NOT drilled by a dentist. The upper teeth were treated with porcelain veneers three years earlier while they still had sufficient enamel. The lower teeth will now need all ceramic crowns because of insufficient remaining enamel for adhesive bonding. Prophylactic endodontics is also recommended; the pulp chamber may be seen in many of these lower front teeth.
Diet and nutrition in dentistry. This middle aged male patient had bulimia as a teenager but still maintained a very poor diet and exhibited severe teeth grinding.
Oral Reconstruction of a phobic Wall Street executive. Total treatment time was about nine hours in two visits during one business week: Monday (four hours) and Friday (five hours). This patient hid his dental condition for over a decade by never smiling.
The fourth row shows the lab-processed 11 unit (11 tooth) temporary bridge and the cast gold post/cores (with Kaitlyn loops) for the root canal treated teeth.
The patient will have a final porcelain-metal bridge made after the gums heal. Implants may also be placed in the upper right posterior. A bite plate is also necessary to try to mitigate the force of tooth grinding. Referral for pharmacological management of anxiety is also worthwhile.
Diet and nutrition in dentistry. Dental signs of bulimia. Note erosion of the teeth.
Diet and nutrition in dentistry. Treatment of teeth decalcification. This is frequently caused by oral ingestion of fruit juices and improper oral hygiene.

Kay Cannon – Breaking Through the Glass Slipper
Breaking Through the Glass Slipper
The beloved fairytale Cinderella has been a family favorite for generations, and it has been the basis – either directly or indirectly – of dozens of films over the years. However, strangely enough men have directed pretty much all of the movies telling this parable about a young woman breaking free from an oppressive life and finally reaching her dreams. With such a strong, independent heroine that has been idolized by millions of young girls, shouldn't a movie version of Cinderella be filmed by a woman?
Finally Kay Cannon has helped to break through the glass ceiling of filming a story which revolves around a glass slipper. Cannon got her start as a writer on the great TV series 30 Rock. She became an in-demand screenwriter when she wrote the surprise hit film Pitch Perfect. She ended up writing that film's two sequels, as well as the holiday romance Let It Snow. She didn't give up on television, writing episodes of New Girl and Cristela and creating the series Girlboss. Cannon got the chance to try her hand in directing with the 2018 comedy Blockers, which was based on a screenplay which she did not write.
Now she has finally tried on the glass slipper – writing and directing a new musical version of the classic tale. However, Cannon knew this story has been told before and she wanted to put her own spin on it. The new version of Cinderella is the movie debut of singing superstar Camila Cabello in the title role. It also has a strong supporting cast including Broadway stars Idina Menzel as the not-quite-so-evil stepmother and Billy Porter as the fairy godmother (rechristened the Fab Godmother, or Fab G). Film faves Pierce Brosnan and Minnie Driver play the king and queen, and up-and-comer Nicholas Galitzine is Prince Charming.
About a week before the Amazon Prime release of the new Cinderella, we were able to catch up (on Zoom!) with writer/director Cannon to discuss her new film.
Cinderella is such a legendary fairy tale, but it's one that's been told many times. How did you want to make sure that your vision of it was unique?
I would have never set out to do this had James Corden not pitched me this idea to do the Cinderella story, with contemporary songs. I'm not a fairy tale person. (laughs) As a little girl, I was more of an ET kind of gal. When I had my meeting with him, this was back in 2017, and I thought Kenneth Branagh [just did Cinderella and it was] hugely successful. Cinderella was just out a couple years before. But [I liked] the notion of using contemporary songs and making it a musical and then me myself being able to rewrite the story in a more relatable, modern way. How women and young girls are viewing themselves. Make it more comedic or try to infuse my brand of comedy. That was really interesting to me. I was just signed on as the writer at first. Then as I was writing it, I said to the producers, "I'll rewrite this all and day all night, but only if I'm the director of it," because I was starting to fall in love with it. I was starting to have a lot of fun and to really see it. You're right, there's been a ton of retellings of Cinderella. We've seen a ton, but I feel like it's really generational. Like, my Cinderella is Brandy and Whitney Houston. I hold that dear to my heart. I also really love Ever After. Whereas my seven-year-old daughter, my hope – I'm going to force her – is that this Cinderella is her Cinderella that she holds near and dear to her heart. Hopefully ten years from now, there'll be another one that cracks open it and shows it in a different way than we've ever seen before.
I was reading that the studio was really heart set on getting Camila Cabello to star in this as our first film role. How did it come about that you got her? What was she like to work with?
Tom Rothman [Chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment's Motion Picture Group] brought up her name in one of my first meetings. As soon as he did, I was like, that's genius. Camila feels like she's had a real Cinderella story of her own. She feels like Cinderella to me. She's really funny. I saw something in her where I felt like could… I was an athlete all my life and I coached a lot of teams… I was like, I could coach her. (laughs) I could coach her and get her to a place. She read the script, and I had a sizzle reel and to show her my vision of the movie. She asked to meet. So, I had to fly to Miami and talk with her. It was like, I was auditioning her [and] she was auditioning me. I don't know if you know this, but I bought a glass slipper on Etsy. I presented it to her like an idiot. (laughs again)
How did that go over?
I don't know how it was for Camila, but her mother Sinu loved it. I was like, I'm winning over her mother in a heartbeat. But I wouldn't have done that had I not suspected somewhere that Camila wanted to play this part and believed in what I was doing and my belief in her.
This is the first musical film that you've done as a director. Pitch Perfect was kind of a musical, but you wrote that, you didn't actually direct it. You had two Broadway legends in your cast Idina Menzel, and Billy Porter. How did their presence of help you in making the film? Obviously, they know musicals.
They are Broadway royalty. (laughs) There was a bit of fangirling on my part, because I loved them both so much, especially Idina. Years ago, I stood outside in the rain [trying] to get $20 house seats to go see Rent and did, I got in. I saw her and just loved her ever since. I felt like Idina can play the meanness. She's got a quality about her that can play the meanness but at the same time, she's got this incredible vulnerability. That was a difference that I was making with the stepmother. I don't want there to be a villain in this movie. I wanted to justify her actions by giving her a backstory. Idina was amazing with that. I will tell you in pre-records, that's where I was really blown away by both of them. I mean, I was blown away the whole time. There's a picture of me, I took a selfie where Idina's in the booth. She's killing it on "Material Girl," I just gave her a fun run to do whatever she wanted. I'm like this. (Mimes taking a selfie looking over her shoulder and laughs.) I can't believe I'm actually able to see her work in this way.
That's great.
Billy does "Shining Star." He does that big note at the end, where he just kills this note. In the pre-record, he's like, "I don't know if I'm going to be able to get there." He did this little warm up and stuff. I was like, let's just give it a go. (claps her hands) Let's go. Let's try it. He nailed it the first time. I think he only did it twice because he nailed it the first time. It is pretty incredible to watch them work.
There were some original tunes in there, too. I believe "Million to One" and "Dream Girl" were written for the film. Why did you want to get some songs that were specific to the film?
It was all in the storytelling. "Million to One" came about because I was really trying to redefine the Cinderella character. I was trying to make that feel original. She had a different drive, and she had different ambitions and goals. The best way to express that storytelling wise – because all the songs had to feel like dialogue on the page – was for that to be an original song. I was reprising it too. I had already written into [the script] that whatever the song was, [it] would be reprised a couple of times. The same holds true for "Dream Girl," where the stepmother's character is seen in a new way. I really wanted to show in multi-generational storytelling that she's pissed. (laughs) She's not only pissed, but all the other women all over, regardless of status, or class or whatever, are also pissed. They can relate. They can connect on that level. Of course, she's wrong, her thinking is wrong. Of course we need dream girls. Of course, we should be allowed to follow our dreams. I felt like that was just such a great spot to have originals, whereas all the other spots felt like homages to different genres of music.
You pull off an interesting balancing act. The story and the setting are very old fashioned, but a lot of the dialogue and the characters are really pretty modern. Was that interesting to pull off – both as a writer and as a director?
That was the juxtaposition that I wanted. I wanted to like make you feel like you're in a fairy tale. Then the songs and what they're saying make it feel very current. Now, that could just be that I'm not that great of a writer and I cannot write about the period. But that was really my intention. I want the world to see this, right? Those songs connect everybody. Everybody around the world knows "Somebody to Love." It's just such a great song. We through the music we can come together in that in that way. I felt like the way to make it modern is to is to have them speaking in a way that little kids to adults can understand [it] feels of this time.
The movie was in the middle of filming when COVID hit, and everything had to be put on the put on hold. Everyone had to go home and shelter in place before you could get back later on. As a filmmaker, was that sort of frustrating? Or did it give you time to get things all in a row? How did that work?
It was both. It was frustrating because it was scary. Also, there was a lot of unknown. I didn't know if we were going to get to finish the movie. I didn't know if we were going to get to come back. The silver lining was I was able to regroup and put together sequences that I shot. I shot the ball. I shot the Fab G and all the basement stuff prior. Those are isolated, separate chunks, so I didn't have to do a lot of filling in. I was able to really rewrite. I basically got a second prep. I got to figure out what was working and what wasn't. When we went back, I actually did my reshoots, because every film does reshoots now. I did my reshoots while doing my shoot. (laughs) So, it did give us the time. It gave us the focus. It just was scary. Me personally, I take the weight of the safety of the cast and crew very seriously. I didn't want anybody to get sick because we were shooting a movie, you know?
Also, because of COVID, the movie world sort of got turned upside down. I mean, theaters are finally open again, but still a lot of movies that might have played in theaters are going directly on to platforms like Amazon Prime, which yours is. Do you think that that can sort of help the film find an audience?
My heart dropped when they called to tell me that we were going to go streaming. (laughs) Then, after I picked it back up, and held it so tight to my chest, I felt like I wanted to make it a highly entertaining movie that makes you feel good and makes you laugh and sing and dance. How people see that? I do think it translates through the television. I know it does. I had to do a lot of previews where I was watching people at home watch the movie to see what they would laugh at and what they wouldn't. I watched a woman do her whole laundry while she was watching the movie. I was like that section might be boring. I might have to cut. (laughs again) I'm losing people.
I doubt that…
It's sad because we're not in a healthy place. We're not out of the pandemic. We're still in the muck. That's what is the most disheartening thing, but the fact [is] that I believe I will reach a whole lot more people this way, and hopefully spread some joy. I'm going to try to force some joy on people. That I feel really good about. I can already feel it. The trailer has been watched so many times and the messages I've been getting and stuff like that. Everybody has their opinion and certainly Twitter has their opinions. (laughs) But I'm getting stuff from all over the world. It makes me feel really good.
