Bill & Ted Face the Music Feels As Unstuck in Time As Its Characters

 Bill S. Preston, Esq. (Alex Winter) and Theodore Logan (Keanu Reeves) are not stoners, but they do seem like they could and maybe even should be, which is why Reeves felt compelled to clarify the point in a recent interview. Pot feels like such a handy explanation for the characters’ indomitable state of dazed good-naturedness, even when confronted with time-travel and the afterlife, that the association has lingered even though the pair never actually smoke any of it. Bill and Ted are the most wholesome of a run of late-’80s-early-’90s dirtbag duos like Beavis and Butthead and Wayne and Garth, but they’re also relics of a stretch of time in which California stereotypes alone could amount to half of a premise for a film or a TV show. The joke at the center of the Bill & Ted franchise is that two genial doofuses from the San Gabriel Valley turn out to be the most important people in all of humanity, and because of that, the high points of history and metaphysics get filtered through the cultural colorlessness of a sunny SoCal suburb.

It’s a joke that’s held up unconscionably well over the years. The pleasures of Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey have endured, a few tossed-off homophobic slurs aside, because of how unapologetically silly the movies are. They’re about saving the world, but there’s so little urgency to them that the way Bill & Ted Face the Music has stumbled into existence nearly three decades later comes across as entirely fitting. The new movie, from director Dean Parisot and returning screenwriters Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon, picks up with Bill and Ted still in San Dimas, where they’ve grown into fathers and husbands who live next door to one another on a serene cul-de-sac. They’ve traded young concerns about passing history class and winning a Battle of the Bands for middle-aged ones like shaky marriages and fears about being failures. But Bill & Ted Face the Music doesn’t use the years as an excuse to swerve into grittier territory. Instead, it underscores the sweetness at the core of its main relationship. Bill and Ted are two guys who love hard rock, the word “dude,” and each other’s company, something that hasn’t changed just because the times have.


What’s also remained a constant is their questionable talent. The movie opens at the most recent wedding for Missy (Amy Stock-Poynton), who was first Bill’s and then Ted’s young stepmother, where the two men play a song that isn’t remotely appropriate for the first dance, but that does involve enthusiastic theremin and throat singing. Most people set aside their longings for rock stardom after a few years of struggle, but Bill and Ted have been assured that their band, Wyld Stallyns, is destined to usher in a global utopia with their music. 29 years and an explanatory montage later, they’re still floundering, while time and space have started falling apart in the absence of a universe-unifying bop. When Kristen Schaal beams in from the future as Kelly — daughter of Rufus, the character played by the late George Carlin in the first two films — Bill and Ted soon find themselves back in the phone booth, sending themselves forward in hopes of getting a copy of the killer song they were supposed to come up with from their older selves, who they assume have written it already.


The pair’s former medieval princess wives, now played by Erinn Hayes and Jayma Mays, start bouncing around on some mostly offscreen temporal adventures of their own. And then their daughters, Wilhelmina “Billie” Logan (Brigette Lundy-Paine) and Theodora “Thea” Preston (Samara Weaving), embark on a quest that turns out to be more essential to the developing crisis. Billie and Thea, cheery 20-something fail children whose friendship rivals that of their dads, aren’t clearly drawn as characters beyond the obvious parallels, though Lundy-Paine manages the incredible trick of coming across more like Reeves in the original films than present-day Reeves does. It’s the two men who remain the heart of this winningly haphazard endeavor, and they’re at their best playing off themselves, meeting different Bills and Teds across the years and, as would probably be true for all of us, not always getting along with them.


Bill & Ted Face the Music serves up some celebrity cameos and some familiar faces — William Sadler as a parody of The Seventh Seal’s Death remains an absurd and wonderful creation. Nostalgia is an unavoidable part of the movie’s appeal, though it mostly manages to avoid wince-worthy pandering. The most successful quality of the film is how close it keeps in spirit and haphazard style to the first two installments, and how it feels proudly unstuck in time. Then again, so are its characters, whose type and slang and taste in music feel long past. Maybe that context wasn’t all that important, anyway. How much context do you need to understand the fantasy of being told that your wistful pipe dreams actually matter, not just to you, but to the world? Excellent.

‘Black Panther’ Star Chadwick Boseman Dies of Cancer at 43

 The actor also played groundbreaking figures like James Brown, Jackie Robinson, and Thurgood Marshall.


Chadwick Boseman, the actor who found fame as the star of the groundbreaking film “Black Panther” and who also portrayed pioneering Black figures such as Jackie Robinson, James Brown, and Thurgood Marshall, died on Friday. He was 43.

A statement posted on Mr. Boseman’s Instagram account said the actor learned in 2016 that he had Stage 3 colon cancer, which had progressed to Stage 4. It said he died in his home, with his wife and family by his side.


“A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of the films you have come to love so much,” the statement said. “From ‘Marshall’ to ‘Da 5 Bloods,’ August Wilson’s ‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom’ and several more, all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy.”


News of Mr. Boseman’s death elicited shock and grief among many prominent figures in the arts and civic lifeMartin Luther King III, a human-rights activist and the eldest son of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., said that the actor had “brought history to life on the silver screen” in his portrayals of Black leaders.

Oprah Winfrey wrote on Twitter that Mr. Boseman was “a gentle gifted SOUL.”


“Showing us all that Greatness in between surgeries and chemo,” she wrote. “The courage, the strength, the power it takes to do that. This is what Dignity looks like.”

Mr. Boseman portrayed the first Black player in Major League Baseball, Jackie Robinson, in “42,” in 2013; the sizzling soul singer James Brown in “Get On Up,” in 2014; and the first Black Supreme Court justice, Thurgood Marshall, in “Marshall,” in 2017.

The film was a cultural touchstone — the first major superhero movie with an African protagonist; the first to star a majority Black cast; and in Ryan Coogler, the first to employ a Black writer and director.


The film represented a moment of hope, pride, and empowerment for African-American moviegoers, many of whom planned special outings to see it and came dressed in African-inspired clothing and accessories.

Wakanda was powered by a mystery metal, vibranium, and had evaded the historical traumas endured by much of the rest of Africa, freeing it from the ravages of colonialism and postcolonialism. The phrase “Wakanda forever” became a hashtag and rallying cry.


The statement on Mr. Boseman’s Instagram account said it was “the honor of his career to bring King T’Challa to life in ‘Black Panther.’”

Brian Helgeland, the writer, and director of “42,” which gave Mr. Boseman his breakout role, said that Mr. Boseman reminded him of sturdy, self-assured icons of 1970s virility, like Gene Hackman and Clint Eastwood.


“It’s the way he carries himself, his stillness — you just have that feeling that you’re around a strong person,” Mr. Helgeland said. “There’s a scene in the movie where Robinson’s teammate, Pee Wee Reese, puts his arm around him as a kind of show of solidarity. But Chad flips it on its head. He plays it like, ‘I’m doing fine, I’m tough as nails, but go ahead and put your arm around me if it makes you feel better.’ I think that’s who Chad is as a person.”


Mr. Boseman was born and raised in Anderson, S.C., the youngest of three boys. His mother, Carolyn, was a nurse and his father, Leroy, worked for an agricultural conglomerate and had a side business as an upholsterer.


“I saw him work a lot of third shifts, a lot of night shifts,” Mr. Boseman told The New York Times last year. “Whenever I work a particularly hard week, I think of him.”


His closest role models were his two brothers: Derrick, the eldest, a preacher in Tennessee; and Kevin, a dancer who has performed with the Martha Graham and Alvin Ailey troupes and toured with the stage adaptation of “The Lion King.”


In high school, Mr. Boseman was a serious basketball player but turned to storytelling after a friend and teammate were shot and killed. Mr. Boseman processed his emotions by writing what he eventually realized was a play. When it was time to consider colleges, he chose an arts program at Howard University, with a dream of becoming a director.

At Howard, he took an acting class with the Tony Award-winning actress and director Phylicia Rashad, who helped him get into an elite theater program at the University of Oxford, an adventure he later learned had been financed by a friend of hers: Denzel Washington.


To earn money, Mr. Boseman taught acting to students at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem.

5 Brain Foods a Neuroscientist Wants You To Eat

 Having a balanced diet is essential for our physical and mental health. When we ingest good foods, we strengthen our bodies  and prevent a series of diseases and health conditions, like diabetes, heart diseases, and hypertension. 



Did you know that the brain, just like any other organ, also needs specific nutrients to work to its full potential? 


The encephalon, the upper part of the central nervous system which controls our body, needs much more than just proteins, carbs, and fats. 



So, ingesting a good combination of micronutrients (minerals and vitamins) is important. 


In today's video, you will learn how to boost your brain with the best minerals! 



Calcium

Calcium works as a cell flag, indicating to the cell what is about to happen. It is also responsible for the communication between brain cells, which makes calcium essential to the adequate functioning of nerves and muscles. 



Iron

This mineral is part of the production of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen to the cells. Its adequate consumption improves mental functioning and academic performance. When consumed in excess, it can be related to the  development of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. 



Magnesium

Magnesium is one of the most important minerals for brain functioning because it participates in many actions, including control of the neurotransmitter levels. 


This mineral is important because it helps control mood, memory, and learning. Magnesium also helps control the transmission of nerve impulses and strengthens bones and teeth. 



Potassium

Potassium always works together with sodium, which makes it essential for the transmission of nerve impulses. Its lack can cause apathy and weakness. 



Sodium

This mineral is, no doubt, one of the most consumed around the world. Consumed as sodium chloride, or salt, it controls the nervous and muscle functions and, together with potassium, maintains the water balance in cells and tissues. 



Now that you know the 5 micronutrients that are good for your brain, make sure to add these foods to your diet, and if you want to supplement any of them, talk to a doctor or dietitian who can ask for the necessary exams and advice you on the best way of taking the supplements.

A Scientific Solution to Stop Muscle Cramps and Spasms

 This issue is more common than people think. Have you ever had muscle cramps? 


Cramps are caused when a muscle contracts involuntarily and it causes intense pain. Very common in athletes, muscle cramps can happen when we least expect it. Even after eating or while we sleep. 


They usually happen on lower members, together with sudden or prolonged spasms. The muscles and tendons contract and become visible. 


Although the calf is the most common target, cramps can also happen on the abdomen, thighs, feet, hands, and neck. Did you know that?


Have you ever had or know someone who has had cramps in any of these places? 


Even though most people associate muscle cramps with potassium deficiency, Bettina Moritz, dietitian and Doctor in neuroscience, says that nocturnal leg cramps,  one that happens when we are not exercising, happens due to magnesium deficiency. 


On the other side, the cramps that happen during or after physical activities are caused by the lack of potassium. But, what do we do when we have muscle cramps?


During the crisis, try to gently stretch the area, without sudden movements. Don't even think of using strength to move your legs. 


While you stretch, massage the area to warm up the place, it will help reduce the pain. 


To prevent your muscles from cramping, you can try to: Avoid exercising right after eating;


Gently stretch your muscles before exercising or going to sleep; 

Avoid consuming products that contain caffeine, like coffee or chocolate; 

Avoid smoking; Avoid stimulating drugs, such as ephedrine or pseudoephedrine. 


To go through muscle cramps unharmed, make sure to have a balanced diet. 


Drink plenty of water during the day, especially during physical activities. 


If your muscle cramps persist even after taking all these measures, talk to a doctor to see what might be happening in your body.
