After an establishing shot of the top half of the statue, the remainder of the scene focused on the lower half, which got me looking at its shoes. Not boots shoes. Loafers, it looked like. This was no symbol of the mythic American West this was a symbol of the mythic American West appropriated and adapted by the corporate interests that built and manage this business park. Where have all the cowboys goneInto insurance, apparently. A police officer tried to shoo Cooper away as if he were poopy pigeon. He gave Cooper something new to fixate on, another symbol to tug at Coopers buried self the coppers badge. Officer Reynaldo Juan Carlos Cantu did our helpless hero a solid by driving him home, and Janey E took in her wayward Dougie, as she always does. She was once again more of a mother to him feeding him, making him do his homework, scolding him, cleaning up after his messes further framing Cooper as a metaphorical child. Lynch continued to use color coding to cast shade on the promises of American materialism and keeping up with the Joneses striving by embellishing the scene with hues of creamed corn Garmonbozia, or pain and sorrow. Hotel Transylvania 3 The Movie High Quality. A golden yellow lamp on the table illuminated a stack of manila case files telling tales of human catastrophe and a manila folder containing a photo documenting Dougies infidelity. She let the envelope sit for a while, unopened, maybe dreading the contents, like an anxious parent putting off looking at her kids report card. Janey E sent Dougie upstairs to say goodnight to Sonny Jim Jones. The boys room was conspicuously decorated with very boyish things that also spoke to Americas Manifest Destiny myth. A strip of artwork depicting cowboy and Indian scenes circled the room. Model rocket ships were on the shelf. Sonnys pajamas were covered with cars. He was reading a book with a blue cover, part of a series stacked on a bedside table. Hardy Boys novels, perhaps Sonny patted on the bed, inviting his father to sit. Cooper offered a potato chip. The boy said no, he had just brushed his teeth. Cooper set one down on his starry bed spread, anyway, because mind challenged Cooper doesnt yet recall the importance of good dental hygiene. FUN FACT I feel terrible about this, but I must confess I didnt immediately recognize the actor who plays Sonny, even though I should have. Hes Pierce Gagnon and he had a small but important role in Tomorrowland, a film I helped to write and produce. He played Nate a character we named after my youngest son Sorry, Pierce. Too distracted by my color theories, I guess. Recap continues on page 2.
