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

It’s a match made in hell, as two of the biggest horror icons from the 80s square up for the fight of the century. In the blue corner, wearing the O’Neill shorts, we have the strong, silent slaughterer Jason ‘momma’s boy’ Vorhees. And in the red corner, with the flaming shorts it’s the chuckling child-killer Freddy ‘fingers’ Krueger. Whoever wins… well you know the rest. Team BFGC are providing the concise post-match analysis for 2003s action packed horror mash-up. But have American filmmakers ever actually been to a rave? Is Kelly Rowland destined for an acting career? And why wasn’t Katharine Isabelle given the lead? Join us on vacation at Crystal Lake as we see if this horrific Odd Couple are a match for Jack Lemmon & Walter Matthau, or if they provide more tragedy than Hamlet.

There’s a certain segment of the “thea-tuh” community that turns its collective nose up at the mere mention of a mainstream, commercially-successful playwright. One of my most vivid college memories is of a member of the Theatre Arts faculty nearly having a stroke at the mention of the possibility of scheduling a Neil Simon play in the season. These artists often measure success by how badly attended their productions are, reveling in the confirmation of how unique and right they are about what is art and how wrong everybody else is. Director Jennifer King graciously admits to prescribing to some of these thoughts, till an actor who she greatly respects prodded her into taking a look at Simon’s The Odd Couple. The next thing she knew she was directing a production of it, now running at Petaluma’s Cinnabar Theater. The Odd Couple may be the most post popular American play ever written. From its premier on Broadway over fifty years ago to the classic Jack Lemmon – Walter Matthau film to its current third incarnation as a prime-time television sitcom, The Odd Couple, with slight modifications (including a Saturday morning cartoon) endures. Why? Because it’s funny. The premise is simple – mismatched roommates. There’s a whole lot more than that, of course, but it’s with that now-classic premise to which most people can relate. Who hasn’t roomed with a Felix and/or Oscar at some point in their life? Who hasn’t been driven up a wall by a compadre’s peccadilloes? Who hasn’t reached out to help a friend and then turn around and want to kill him? Friendship is at the heart of The Odd Couple, male friendship in particular and King has cast the show with a group of guys who you can actually believe are friends. Nathan Cummings brings a gruff charm to Oscar and Aaron Wilton nails both the prissiness and heart of Felix. Both manage to avoid comparisons to Matthau/Lemmon & Klugman/Randall, with Wilton’s Felix wound a bit tighter than usual. Wilton may come off as a tad young to be playing the middle-aged Felix, but his character choices get you past that. They’re both fun to watch. A lot of the humor in the play comes from Felix and Oscar’s poker playing buddies, and King has cast these supporting roles as well as her leads. Tim Kniffin is very dry as accountant Roy. Tim Setzer, usually seem locally in musicals, is amusing as henpecked Vinnie. Zachary Stockton as the cigar-chewing, wise-cracking Speed is a man after my own heart with his laser-like focus on the game. Chad Yarish’s Murray the cop is the heart and soul of the group, managing to be funny and kind of sweet when it comes to caring about his friend Felix. Laughs also come via the Pigeon sisters (nicely played by Samantha Dakin and Morgan Harrington), a couple of British expatriates who are the source of the final conflict (and resolution) between Oscar and Felix. In a pre-show presentation, director King addressed the personal challenge of putting on a straight forward production and resisting the temptation to add any avant-garde elements. I can’t imagine this show done with a minimalist set instead of Joseph Elwick’s nicely designed NY apartment or everyone dressed in black instead of Skipper Skeoch’s nicely understated period dress. King met the challenge by simply sticking to the script and trusting her actors. While there are individual lines that seem dated ($280 a month for an eight room, New York City apartment?!) the show itself does not come off that way. Rooted in real relationships, it’s a funny look at the American male-psyche, still gloriously flawed after fifty years. Cinnabar Theater’s The Odd Couple is an extremely enjoyable production of an American comedy classic. It plays weekends through April 23rd. For more information, go to cinnabartheater.org
