Being a fangirl, I visited a few places people usually don't necessarily visit.
1. Ojai. In recent years, Channing bought a place in this little town that is located 1.5-hr away Northwest of LA. I visited there on a Sunday and found out that Johnny Cash lived there as well in his late years. The town has only 8000 people. Near the main street Ojai Ave., there is this little park called Libbey Park. I took a few pictures, then almost two weeks later, Channing brought his daughter there.
I also visited Bart's Books in Ojai, where Everly found many of her books.
2. Malibu Pier. Remember this photoshoot of Jamie?
I visited there on a raining day.
3. Old LA Zoo Channing took his interviewer to the old L. A. Zoo for his 2015 Vanity Fair
cover story.
In 1958, the city of Los Angeles built a new zoo in Griffith Park. Rather than destroy the old facility, they simply left it, removing the animals but leaving the paths and cages, empty habitats weed-bestrewn. It remains as an urban ruin, open to the public but as creepy as the Lincoln Memorial grown over with ivy at the end of Logan’s Run or New York flooded at the end of A.I. “Those are good ones,” Tatum agreed, “but the standard remains the Statue of Liberty in Planet of the Apes. Those bastards blew it up.”
The cages had been closed off with wire fence, but Tatum found a hole and squeezed inside. He beckoned me, and soon we were wending through the narrow tunnels of a rank, graffiti-filled, urine-soaked, beer-can-bestrewn, hypodermic-needle-belittered hobo paradise. Tatum made sounds of deep contentment. Taking out his phone, he snapped pictures of the more elaborate tags and designs, which resembled the iconography of some lost religion. “I wish I had my Leica,” he said.
Now Channing with his Leica camera.
Now some really random stuff.
Hail, Caesar soundtrack is available for pre-order. I emailed the company which will release the CD, they confirm there will be songs (one of them sung by Channing?)
According to Variety.com, The Weinstein Company did relatively well after moving up the wide release of “The Hateful Eight” by a week. The revisionist western from Quentin Tarantino racked up $16.2 million to finish in third place. That’s a solid start, though on the lower end for wide-release debuts from the director. For instance, “The Hateful Eight” trails the $30.1 million launch for “Django Unchained” or the $38 million kickoff for “Inglourious Basterds.” It has made $29.6 million since debuting in a limited number of 70mm theaters over Christmas.
Finally, I saw this on social media. I believe it. ERW is the kind of person who will fight with fans on Twitter. I am glad Jamie divorced her.
