Tks for another Coachella pix, as well as, other pix :flower:

 

As to Revenant dvd , when I looked at blu ray edition the only feature I saw listed was the World Unseen documentary which I had seen on cable when it was shown, so I just bought regular dvd

 

Also,like you, enjoyed film even more on 2nd viewing . I'm just so thrilled that it has made over $520 million worldwide :clap: 

 

Hope it does well when it opens in Japan this Friday

 

As to Leo , I noticed via Instagram that Irmerlin & Dave attended the annual Oceana event in NY last night which made me wonder does anyone know if Leo is doing his LD St Tropez Gala again this year ??????

Wow thanks ladies, this is such an awesome honor :chicken: 

 

The TIME 100 honoree was part of a generation that differentiated itself from the "Brat Pack" of the 1980s

Quote

 


In February 1995, TIME introduced its readers to a new class of movie stars. “Generation X-Cellent,” as writer Ginia Bellafante called them, was “an appealing stable of new actors who stand in smart contrast to the so-called Brat Pack of the ‘80s.” Actors like Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, Winona Ryder, Brad Pitt and 2016 TIME 100 honoree Leonard DiCaprio were like “a fine lager next to the Brat Pack’s Bud Lite,” a cultured, cosmopolitan set who sought to differentiate themselves through nuanced and varied roles.

When he was interviewed for the article, DiCaprio was 20 years old, best known for his breakout role in the 1993 drama What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. The following year, he would capture teen hearts everywhere opposite Claire Danes in Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet, and in 1997 Titanic would catapult him to megastardom. 
But in 1995, DiCaprio was still in the process of arriving, and he was keenly aware of how smart he would have to be to get all the way there. He lamented the availability of interesting projects and explained that he was determined to find rare gems (an endeavor he would literally take on for the 2006 film Blood Diamond). “I don’t want to wake up in the morning and be bothered by a role I’ve chosen,” he said. “It’s almost like the scripts are repeating themselves. The ratio of bad ones to good ones is 50 to 1.”

Similar variations on the same sentiment were echoed throughout the piece by DiCaprio’s peers, who ascribed to their kind what Mary Louise Parker called “an earnestness, a desire to do good work.” These “alterna-stars,” as Bellafante dubbed them, weren’t as interested in the teenage angst explored in Pretty in Pink and The Breakfast Club as they were with the work of auteurs, or with pivoting swiftly between playing a mentally disabled child (DiCaprio’s role in Grape) and the French poet Arthur Rimbaud (whom played in Total Eclipse).

DiCaprio’s discriminating nature has, clearly, turned out well for the actor, who won his first Academy Award in February, for The Revenant. Though his introduction to TIME’s readers two decades ago concluded with the notion that he and his fellow Gen-X actors weren’t quite ready to grow up, that question, to be sure, has long since been put to bed.

Such a shock and so sad about his passing away today , when I heard the news I immediately thought back to the pix posted here of Leo listening to him perform in St Bart's this past  New Year's Eve , I noticed just now that  his pals Vinny & Reeza  posted pix on their Instagram  pages from that performance

UNITED NATIONS - World leaders gather at the United Nations on Friday to sign the Paris climate deal and get the ball rolling on a quick entry into force to start beating back global warming.

 

French President Francois Hollande and Canada's Justin Trudeau will join US Secretary of State John Kerry for the ceremony attended by more than 165 governments, the largest ever one-day signing of an international agreement.

 

Held on Earth Day, the ceremony comes four months after the hard-won deal was clinched in Paris and marks the first step toward binding countries to the promises they made to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

 

Oscar winner and environmental activist Leonardo DiCaprio will be on hand to praise leaders for signing, urge others to do the same and appeal to all to turn their commitments into action.

 

While the United States, China and India -- the world's top greenhouse gas emitters - will not be represented at their highest level, there will be some 60 heads of state and government on hand for the signing.

 

Among those will be leaders of island states such as Fiji, Tuvalu and Kiribati that face oblivion from rising sea levels. They will formally present the already-completed ratification by their parliaments.

 

Moving quickly, 13 countries have so far ratified the agreement, but for many of the signatories, final approval of the Paris deal could drag on and involve new legislation to parliaments.

 

Still, there is no time to lose.
