Director Alan Rickman talks up the virtues of A Little Chaos
Alan Rickman was the sarcastic sibilant Sheriff of Nottingham in some wonderful Robin Hood movie and he was, no pun intended, to die for in the British romance "Truly, Madly, Deeply" about love, loss and recovery.— June 25, 2015 6:46 p.m.
In San Diego versus Chargers, is next move up to Beutner?
Usually every evil-doer gets a Potter pre-fix in his Reader stories, but not this time. In the many years I've lived here, I have never seen Alex Spanos referred to as "the developer." But I guess that's how he got rich enough to buy the Chargers.— June 23, 2015 5:54 p.m.
County worker felonies unreported by D.A.
Actually, a recent photo of Bonnie Dumanis printed in the La Jolla Light showed our District Attorney with very blond hair. Maybe the photo file should be updated.— June 16, 2015 5:56 p.m.
Turning out the lights on Chargers Charities
I wouldn't call Spanos' charitable giving which averages out to about $200,000 per year over the last five years "major money," especially when it mostly perpetuates the concussion-causing game of football among secondary school kids. I'd also like to know how many girls ages 7 to 15 were recruited to become "Junior Charger Girls" -- surely a program that won't be replicated by newspaper publisher Austin Beutner or anyone else ever again post-Chargers.— June 12, 2015 3:49 p.m.
The Faulcon can absolutely hear the Faulconer
No need to invoke the gropeful long-gone former mayor, our own divine birdy mayor is headed for re-election with or without Bolts, since a killer committee of big-money boys has been formed which calls itself CUTE for short.— June 12, 2015 3:35 p.m.
Rain of politics
The acronym for the Chamber of Commerce and Lincoln Club's Mayor Sunny re-election committee is CUTE? They must be feeling pretty confident.— June 12, 2015 3:26 p.m.
Of cops and marijuana
Ms. Escobar-Eck, known as an ex-Sanders administration city employee who okayed the too-tall Sunroad building that had to have its top floor lopped off for exceeding the height limit, has lucrative private clients these days, including controversial One Paseo developers and La Jolla real estate owners who hope to bypass requirements of the La Jolla Planned District Ordinance to keep retail shops on ground floors rather than brokerage offices.— June 11, 2015 4:28 p.m.
Trust fund gravy for Civic San Diego
For all the complicated back-and-forthing described here, I would say that San Diego City Council needs to approve additional oversight to Civic San Diego asap. The State of California nixes requests for more money for Civic San Diego, but the City gives the outfit financial "advances?" There are five more employees on the payroll and still no oversight from any elected body? How can this deal be considered legitimate?— June 11, 2015 4:14 p.m.
Kensington Video will reopen in September
I just read the LJ Landmark will close after this Sunday, June 14.— June 11, 2015 3:57 p.m.
Kensington Video will reopen in September
Sounds good to me. I hope it works. As for the sell-off, a lot of famous titles were dispatched, so I will be interested to see the remaining inventory. I think Guy and Pam are knowledgable and friendly and will make perfect sole proprietors of a video emporium.— June 10, 2015 5:02 p.m.
