TCM has Laurel & Hardy on from 6:45 tomorrow morning until 8 tomorrow night, but for some reason Dirty Work is on right in the middle of it.

DIRTY WORK is a true testament to the talent of Bob Sagat.

Scratch that. Dirty Work is also the name of a L&H short, but youtube tv put up a pic from the movie on their guide.

Rewatching this bad boy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VW4XO-52ubE
this is possibly the most frightening story I’ve read about and watched via this film.
thank god for the few investigative reporters with moral courage.

Let's Go 'Tute!
I am considering going to my first Disney movie in over 60 years. On 11/27, the movie Moana 2 is premiering in theaters. Normally, I would completely ignore this. Now the only reason that I would not go at some time is that there will probably be many small, noisy children in the theater.
To explain my interest, I have to go back to 2010. During that year, I googled the name of a niece whose given name is Emily and family name is the same as mine. All of the top matches were for the then 8- or 9-year-old child prodigy pianist and composer Emily Bear. I was overwhelmed by her talent at a young age.
I followed her career sporadically for several years, perhaps every couple of months. This slowly increased especially after she graduated high school in 2017 at age 15 and decided to take a gap year before going to the Berklee College of Music in Boston. I have long felt that she was waiting for her older sister Lauren Bear to go to nearby BU in 2018. Lauren, by the way, was a member of BU’s figure skating team which won two national championships while she was there. She had been a harpist, and there are a couple of YouTube videos of Emily and her playing together. Emily never went to Berklee as a student.
I won’t go into detail about Emily’s career but to write that she has won a Grammy and an Emmy, and that she was mentored and managed Quincy Jones who died on Sunday (https://www.instagram.com/p/DB9EwkJPcEV/?img_index=1). Yes that song was originally called "For Q". It was changed to "Q". Her Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emily_Bear summarizes her history well although there are some missing highlights including the anthem she wrote for the Manchester City soccer team in 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-FsTh_54k4 and the commercial for PetSmart and Purina for which she and the lyricist and singer Abigail Barlow wrote and performed the song. A version was shown during the 2023 Super Bowl in selected markets https://www.instagram.com/p/ConB74QpESE/.
Emily’s career has been on a continual upward slope since she was a small child except for when she and Abigail Barlow were sued by Netflix in 2022 for theft of intellectual property after they played a sold-out concert of their Unofficial Bridgerton Musical album at the Kennedy Center in DC with Broadway actors and actresses. It was based upon Netflix’s series Bridgerton. A subsequent concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London was cancelled. The suit was settled out of court although details were not revealed. A video of Emily conducting part of the overture in rehearsals with the National Symphony Orchestra: https://www.tiktok.com/@emilythebear...68266620898606.
Despite this, Netflix has twice hired Emily to score films. The second, Our Little Secret, will be streamed for the first time on 11/27/24, the same day that Moana 2 will debut at theaters
Back to Moana 2. Emily and Abigail were hired by Disney in 2022 to write the songs for a series of shows based upon the 2016 film Moana. They were to be broadcast on Disney+. Because it was not going to be a theater release, Lin-Manuel Miranda who wrote the songs for the original film was not interested. Disney president Bob Iger eventually decided to change it to a movie, among other things stating that the songs were too good for the small screen. Barlow and Bear are the first female duo to write the songs for a Disney animated feature movie and the youngest overall.

The photo is by Natalie Imani, one of Beyonce’s backup singers.
As of now, only two songs have been released. One is the opening number We’re Back which was first sung at the Disney fan expo D23 in Anaheim by Auli’i Cravalho who supplied the voice for Moana. All recordings suffer from loud Polynesian music and crowd noise, e.g . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ln5pl-an8lQ. A clearer version of part is here https://www.instagram.com/p/DAZQSfXPv3z/. The second is Beyond, one of two songs which Disney has submitted for consideration for the Best Original Song Oscar. A portion is shown in this interview with Auli’i Cravalho https://www.instagram.com/p/DBr7KmcylVs/. OTOH, the Japanese version has been released in its entirety. This video contains a back translation into English https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2Ep3spQeiI. Variety is currently predicting that Beyond will receive an Oscar Nomination.
One final thing, I am not related to Emily as a Baer. Her great-grandfather changed the name from Berkowitz/vitz to Bear when he became a US citizen.

A sequel to The Lion King is coming out around Christmas.
Following Emily Bear has caused me to listen to a lot of stuff that I would have otherwise ignored. E.g., over half of 2023, I followed Beyonce's Renaissance tour which otherwise I would have ignored. One of probably over 100 videos of Beyonce singing 1+1 while MLE is playing the piano and watching admiringly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaKvUo75hLo She played a keyboard when not playing the piano https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB-bSKcTu2c. Playing with other band members at a private performance in a nightclub some evening after a concert. https://www.tiktok.com/@emilythebear...77484315315502 That is "Bumble Boogie" at the end, or as she sometimes writes "Bumble Bear Boogie".
Emily looking in a Target store at a doll that sings part of "We're Back" https://www.tiktok.com/@emilythebear/video/7433208467013389610. That's her dachshund Penelope at the end.
