Washington Post goes dark in times of Trump
Someone needs to get The Washington Post’s editors an antidepressant — stat! If anyone thought The Post wasn’t upset — or fearful — of Donald Trump’s presidency, all they need to do is visit the paper’s online edition. Below their logo reads: “Democracy dies in darkness.”
CNN’s Brian Stelter had the skinny on the new logo, asking the paper’s spokesperson what it all meant.
“This is actually something we’ve said internally for a long time in speaking about our mission,” spokesperson Kris Coratti, told Stelter. “We thought it would be a good, concise value statement that conveys who we are to the many millions of readers who have come to us for the first time over the last year. We started with our newest readers on Snapchat, and plan to roll it out on our other platforms in the coming weeks.”
As Mr. Stelter points out, the paper’s owner Jeff Bezos used the phrase at a Post event last year. Interesting, if it’s been the paper’s motto for years, that they’re just rolling it out now.
It was quickly mocked on Twitter, with Photoshopped fake logos taking its place.
“Soon, we will all be dust. In the distance, a lone dog howls mournfully. Ragnarok,” wrote Tom Phillips, the editorial director at BuzzFeed UK. “Pay our subscription fee or fascism will literally take over,” Caleb Ecarma penned.
“(Wake me up!) Wake me up inside. (I can’t wake up!)” scribed Huffington Post reporter Eliot Nelson. Horrifying.
But at least Matt Nippert, a reporter at the New Zealand Herald, found humor in such a dark time. “If you’re not saying the new WaPo slogan with a Christian Bale Batman voice you miss its deeper meaning,” he wrote on Twitter. Indeed.
Newsflash, Washington Post: Just do your job — you’re neither a victim nor a hero.
Middle America couldn’t care less about the media as a news story, but would like to read more about the policies and political actions that affect them. They would like you to give voice to the voiceless — and that doesn’t mean your news staff.

Attending the Oscars is like an Out of Body Experience __ Christian Bale. Also, more on seating positions: www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/03/02/christian-bale-on-hollywood-hedonism-and-chris-rock-s-divisive-oscars.html“They’re very novel experiences,” he begins. “I always tend to sit there and stare at the ceiling. I find the ceilings to be the most interesting things. They’re incredible! And I had a very nice view of the orchestra, so I ended up watching them.” “When I got the tickets I looked and I went, ‘Oh, fuck. A1? That sounds like that’s the front row!’” he laughs. “The first time I went I was way in the back, and that was great. Then I went for American Hustle and I was sort of at the front. But they don’t have [cameramen] who come and kneel in front of you—they have these automatic cameras that film you. All. Night. Long. They’re behind darkened glass so that you don’t get the impression that they’re there, but they’re there, zooming in… but, you know, it’s nice to be at such a strange event as that.”

An example of his simple humor: 1. American Hustle

Benedict Cumberbatch once joked about Christian Bale, during his ComicCon appearance for Penguins in which he voices a wolf: www.vulture.com/2014/07/cumberbatch-at-comic-con-women-swoon.htmlDid he do any research for the role? Sure, joked Cumberbatch: "I worked undercover in Yellowstone Park as a wolf for a while. I was accepted right off the bat quite quickly, but it got pretty hairy — no pun intended — when I became the alpha male." That notion prompted the woman next to me to let out a brief, guttural noise as Cumberbatch continued, "About a month into it, I realized that two of the other wolves were Christian Bale and Daniel Day-Lewis."

This is not exactly an Industry Mention, so I'm putting it here: @aidadombr once asked Mark Hamill if he liked Christian Bale. Hamill liked the tweet in reply:

From a commentary on men's dressing on Oscars night, 2012: www.nytimes.com/2012/03/01/fashion/at-the-oscars-some-stars-missed-the-cues-on-how-to-wear-a-tux.htmlStill, there were men who used this impeccable uniform to fine advantage.
Tom Hanks was a walking demonstration of what tailoring is intended to do — everything gravity and the good life can do to a man’s body neatly accounted for in his full-shouldered, double-breasted, six-button Tom Ford tuxedo.
The DreamWorks production designer Raymond Zibach was as crisp and graphic as newsprint (remember that?). Christian Bale, in gangster black, upended convention and yet, mostly because he is as thin as a knife blade, managed to make the suit look suitable and personal, an editorial commentary by a man raised in a circus family on just how respectable show people are obliged to be.
