J-TACTICS - La strana coppia (S03 E16)

J-TACTICS's show

Il titolo della sedicesima puntata della terza stagione di J-TACTICS, trae spunto da: “La strana coppia” (The Odd Couple), che è un film del 1968 diretto da Gene Saks.Interpretato magistralmente dal duo Jack Lemmon – Walter Matthau affiatata coppia comica del cinema americano.Oscar Madison, giornalista sportivo, conduce un’esistenza da scapolo da quando si è separato dalla moglie, disordinato e approssimativo, vive da solo in un appartamento trasandato, passando le serate a giocare a poker con gli amici.La routine di Oscar viene sconvolta dall’arrivo di Felix Ungar, un amico appena lasciato dalla moglie e che è l’esatto opposto di Oscar: preciso in modo maniacale, ossessionato dall’ordine e dalla pulizia, pieno di allergie e di tic, e incapace di rassegnarsi alla fine del proprio matrimonio.Dopo alcune settimane, non sopportando più la convivenza, Oscar obbliga Felix ad andarsene ma poco tempo dopo se ne pente e va a cercarlo per le strade di New York con gli amici, senza però trovarlo.Scopre poi che si trova a casa delle vicine di appartamento di Oscar con le quali pochi giorni prima avevano organizzato una cena mal riuscita.I due uomini si riappacificano, ma Felix decide di non ritentare la convivenza e di rimanere ancora per qualche settimana dalle vicine, in attesa di trovare una nuova sistemazione altrove.Facendo la nostra solita trasposizione dalla cinematografia al mondo del calcio, ed in modo particolare alle vicende juventine, potremo utilizzare il titolo e le vicende narrate nella pellicola per analizzare il match tra i bianconeri campioni d’Italia ed i felsinei bolognesi.Partita vinta dalla Juve non senza qualche patema, ma che tra le cose positive oltre al risultato ed i tre punti, ha visto la conferma della “Strana coppia” di centrocampo che tanto bene aveva fatto contro il Napoli in quel di Reggio Emilia qualche giorno prima.McKennie e Arthur proprio come il duo della pellicola che da il titolo all’odierna puntata di J-TACTICS, Wenston come Oscar, dinamico, controcorrente e un po’ naif, Arthur invece come il Felix del film, ordinato e preciso.Senza le reti degli attaccanti, col Bologna decisivo è risultato essere il reparto più in difficoltà di inizio stagione, confermato in blocco dopo la Supercoppa.L’assolato ma freddo pomeriggio allo Stadium viene quindi contraddistinto dal primo gol del brasiliano, dalla conferma dell’americano passando per il rilancio di Bentancur ex pupillo di Sarri.Se la discontinuità aveva penalizzato Pirlo nella debacle con l’Inter, nel match contro il Bologna, il tecnico bianconero viene premiato dalla scelta di continuità, confermare in blocco il reparto che in Supercoppa aveva fatto oggettivamente bene.E lo ha premiato appunto anche con i gol partita dei confermati Arthur e McKennie, per il brasiliano è il primo gol alla 19ª partita in bianconero, per l’americano è il quarto gol stagionale, terzo in campionato, dopo quelli a Barcellona, Torino e Milan.Finalmente i tanto attesi gol dal centrocampo, nel giorno in cui sono rimasti all’asciutto Ronaldo – che ha chiuso l’andata (15 gol, con una partita in meno) a livelli ancora superiori dei due anni precedenti ma in campionato ha fatto una rete in quattro partite -, Morata, che in A non segna dal 19 dicembre (4-0 in casa del Parma), e il suo sostituto Kulusevski, anche lui ultimo gol in campionato al Tardini.Riproporre le scelte viste col Napoli ha significato anche confermare un assetto che dà più densità in mezzo al campo, non tanto e non solo per l’utilizzo accanto a Ronaldo di un giocatore più a tutto campo come Kulusevski, ma soprattutto per le diverse geometrie nel cuore del gioco, intessute dal brasiliano ex Barcellona.L’opera nel cuore della manovra bianconera è stata poi completata da un Bentancur perno centrale a livelli che finalmente hanno ricordato le vette toccate l’anno scorso con Sarri: 74 palloni giocati, 54 passaggi positivi, 11 palle recuperate nel match con i felsinei rossoblù.Insomma, forse mister Pirlo ha trovato finalmente la chiave per accendere il motore bianconero, la coppia McKennie – Arthur, una “strana coppia” proprio come il duo Matthau – Lemmon, agli antipodi come carattere, ma complementari tra loro per lavoro svolto sul campo da gioco.Sarà nostro gradito ospite l’amico e Youtuber Roberto Loforte, “Fuori rosa TV”.Diteci la vostra, interagiremo con voi in chat live!Ecco i link dei nostri social:CANALE TELEGRAM:https://t.me/joinchat/AAAAAE2Dp-yj5b1N4SNcMQINSTAGRAM:https://instagram.com/jtactics_?igshid=1fg7nrkzhl2mtFACEBOOK:http://m.facebook.com/jtacticsmdn

Today’s flick is another Hollywood classic, 1968's The Odd Couple, directed by Gene Saks and written by Neil Simon. This movie is based on Simon’s Broadway play of the same name. The Odd Couple feature Felix and Oscar, played by Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau respectively, who are a couple of divorcee buddies who decide to live together, which in the 1960s was a huge faux pas. Things take a hilarious turn as they realize what complete opposites they are, and hijinx ensue as they find out how odd their coupling actually is. Made for just $1.2 million, The Odd Couple brought home a pants-shitting $44 million in the box office and received critical acclaim. But, does it hold-up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent debate the limits of age, filth, and same-sex roommates as we try to determine if this one is a comedy of errors or an error of comedy.

Marie Wallace started her career in the Off-Broadway production of Sophocles’ Electra and Terence Rattigan’s Harlequinade directed by Philip Burton. From there, she went immediately into the chorus of Ethel Merman’s Gypsy. Marie was featured in seven Broadway productions after that, directed by some of the great directors of that time – Gene Saks, Noel Willman, Morton DaCosta, Tom Conti and Bob Fosse. She was featured alongside Bert Lahr, Larry Hagman, Alice Ghostly, Robert Preston, Alexis Smith and Gwen Verdon among many others. In-between, Marie starred in ABC’s classic gothic drama, Dark Shadows for two years, getting a chance to play three diverse roles – first, Eve “the most evil lady who ever lived”, “Crazy” Jenny Collins, and then Megan Todd who finally was smitten/bitten by the 175-year-old-vampire Barnabas. At that point, she was a vampire and finally had a knife put through her heart by Crazy Willie. It is now over fifty years since the first day of production, and the fan following of the original cast is as big as ever. https://youtu.be/yuMfb78hC4g https://www.facebook.com/ActressMarieWallace https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Wallace https://www.amazon.com/Marie-Wallace/e/B00ATSWQQE https://www.facebook.com/groups/159471470328/

Ron Lagomarsino: Fresh off of the successful opening of Driving Miss Daisy starring Dana Ivey and Morgan Freeman, Director Ron Lagomarsino sat down with SDCF's Steve Kaplan in January of 1988 to discuss directing comedy for the stage. In this, the third installation in a series of three interviews devoted to the topic, the listener will notice similarities in the directorial philosophies of these comedic helmers. (Other series interviews include directors Gene Saks and Jerry Zaks - available on Masters of the Stage at a future date or by request from SDC Foundation). Mr. Lagomarsino discusses what he looks for from actors in casting a comedy, and the trust he must develop with them once the cast is formed. He speaks fondly on the experiences of directing Dana Ivey in Daisy and collaborating with Christopher Durang on Laughing Wild, both at Playwrights Horizons. He concludes by revealing how he so adroitly shifts his style to fit pieces like Hay Fever, Laughing Wild and Noises Off - by not pretending to have all the answers. Ultimately, this organic process may be what endears him to his casts. Originally recorded - January 18, 1988. Running Time - 1:15:13 ©1988 SDCF

Gene Saks: In January of 1987, SDCF brought one of Broadway's most beloved directors to New Dramatists for a conversation about comedy. Collaborators are quoted as saying "I would like to be surgically attached to his hip" and "I wouldn't mind if I never worked with another director again". In this 90 minute interview, you'll learn how Tony Award winner Gene Saks has engineered a career as one the most respected directors in American theatre. He is known for his understanding and protection of the actor's process, stemming from years as a performer on Broadway. Moreover, he is known for the rapport he develops with his casts. In this interview Saks admits that his relationships begin during casting where he looks for actors that he can "fall in love with", albeit for a limited period of time. He also looks for intelligence, and acknowledges that intelligence and a sense of humor go hand in hand. The discussion covers personal relationships with both Neil Simon and Simon's plays. He confronts what has changed about the nature of comedic entertainment as he explains that the world has become "more serious, today". He illuminates his process and his manner of "over-directing" in the early stages of a production, only to later trim down the stage business as a sculptor would excess. He talks of the humoristic mentality and maintains that he is not a director of comedy at all; rather, that he approaches all stories, serious or humorous, with an eye toward conveying its message through the vehicle of comedy.
