WPCNR SUNDAY REVIEW. Cinema by John F. Bailey. December 5, 2021:
Lady Gaga as Patrizia Reggiani the woman who murdered Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver) after he divorces her ascends to another level.
She is powerful, emotional, dominates, builds the evil of her character believably through the movie. Oscar on the way for Lady Gaga! But she won’t get it because she’s too good. Too self-made. An original.
The irony of HOG: it does not glamorize the celebrity world. It explodes the myth the rich and famous are better than you and me. The behavior of all the main characters in this movie is not admirable or inspiring in any way. The story is true to life at the very wobbly top.
The House of Gucci is the world of “The Little Foxes,” the play by Lillian Hellman. Everybody wants what you have and love turns to ashes through greed, jealousy and clasping and retaining power. Instead of love being for another person, the love turns into loving yourself. Ego sickeningly trumps common sense and concern for where your choices are taking you as young lovers turn into old enemies.
HOG’S real mission is accomplished: laying out there not too subtlely how shallow, self-centered the rich & powerful are. The characters have no class the way they treat each other, no compassion. They are weak, ruthless when threatened.
Each of the fashion moguls of Gucci stops at nothing to advance themselves at the expense of others.
Al Pacino as the uncle Aldo in the New York Gucci store is terrific. Jefffrey Irons is the essence of the patriarch, Rudolfo Gucci: he has been aged to a bitter vintage: no feeling, no body, no compassion or love. It’s all about him. Irons plays Rudolfo for the vampire he is, sucking the life out of people.
The funeral scene as he lays in his coffin is great. Because no one is mourning his death.
The humor in this movie is doubled-edged to show desperation and how sensitive these weak people are and insecure despite their power.
Lady Gaga becomes more secure throughout and the appeal of the world of the rich and famous gets to her. Her character transformation is a tour de force. More big roles coming for her.
One consistent flaw in movies today is the absolutely poor audio. This one is particular poorly presented.
The audio I heard even with hearing aids, is too base treble. Actors swallow and clip their lines. They whisper and II defy you to hear what is said. The audio is either a fault of the voice coaches, or the audio or the recording systems or the theater you hear the sound track.
The Italian accents are very difficult to understand in all the actors. You get the gist through the body language, dripping, chilly, passionate, stifling, infuriating ruthless, thick lust and acid flows like lava through the script. Like “The Godfather,” a horribly inarticulate movie you understand what’s happening through attitude.
Gaga with gestures and her emotional command works up believably to murder, makes women admire her and men, too. Men like strong women. But do they really? You will find yourself asking that question.
You do not cross Lady Gaga. She sells this movie. She is right at the top, not over it.
Director Ridley Scott’s treatment of the assassination of Lady Gaga’s husband Maurizio is solid, ruthless and shows what murder is, a ruthless taking of a human life.
This is a long movie, but it seems short because the changes in Lady Gaga’s growth and how Driver’s neglect of her are ominous. Driver does a subtle truly ugly portrayal of how Gaga’s efforts to help him fester a smouldering resentment for damaging his ego leading to divorce.
Even though you know the end, you stay because the relationship slowly cracking and love dying and being rejected fascinates.
The way that Gaga encourages Maurizio to be someone he is not to protect him while advancing herself in the House of Gucci is deftly done, but also turns his ego against her.
Very instructive. Driver and Gaga are Rags to Riches to Ruin. They ruin each other. They love what the other is which destroys the foundation of the love for the other.
As of yesterday, December 4, despite a news release last Tuesday announcing the French American School of New York had sold the Ridgeway Country Club parcel in White Plains in its entirety to Farrell Building Company of Bridgehamption, WPCNR has learned that no “Conveyance of Deed” is listed in Westchester County Clerk records,
Dan Seidel, one of the attorneys for the Gedney Association who appealed the decision in favor of French American School of New York and the City of White Plains, said he would take no action one way or another to proceed with argument or withdraw the appeal until the transaction is officially registered. as completed.
At this time, Mr. Seidel awaits an “argument” date set by the Appellate Court in Brooklyn and is planning on it.
WPCNR COVID 19 OBSERVER. From the NYS COVID-19 TRACKER COMMENTS BY WPCNR’S JOHN BAILEY December 4, 3:40 PM EST:
The state covid tracker caught UP with Thursday’s new covid cases this afternoon, POSTING Westchester County with 322 new cases Thursday (down from 359 Wednesday).
On Thursday, Westchester’s 322 new cases of covid represented a 3.7% postivity rate on 8,676 tested. This is the start, it appears, of growing compounding of new infections culminating the week before Christmas, based on how many persons are spreading Covid to the uninfected:
The 322 cases Thursday divided by the 151 cases two weeks ago (November 18) indicates the virus is spread by every newly positive covid tester to two other persons for every new person covid positive within an approximate 2 week period.
By December 16 those 322 new cases may infect 644 new persons.
At 300 new cases a day now for three straight days the most new cases a day since last April 15, Westchester County must drive this down at once. It also demands heavier testing. And not just testing people thinking they have symptoms. Here’s why:
If the three day rise starting November 30 does not drop or worse sustains its rate of infection — 7 days of 300 infections a day through this weekend could bring 4,200 new infections the week before Christmas (Dec. 16-25).
Subsequent new infections discovered that week of December 16-25 adding to the week between Christmas and New Years infections may create an tsunami of infections in January. If most new infections are unvaccinated, how many will require hospitalizations?
If just 25% of those before Christmas projections (4,620) need hospitalization over Christmas, that is 1155 hospital beds.
If half those 4,620 infections most probably due to that they are not vaccinated need hospitalization that is 2,100 pushing up on Westchester County available hospital beds (2,700). Are the medications effective enough to keep hospitalizations of unvaccinated victims of covid, down low at less than 100 a week? That’s the gamble.
I just reread that last paragraph — that is quite a bet the county and the Mid-Hudson region is making.
Nassau and Suffolk have already bet the house.
At close to 2,000 infections a day now they are in serious bed trouble already and don’t know it. They don’t know it. How can they not know it?
The bet is that unvaccinated cases will not get sick enough to be hospitalized on a high level. This is a reasonable assumption given now Westchester only has 52 hospitalizations last week. It was also stated in this week’s covid breifing by the County Executive George Latimer that 2/3 of new cases are unvaccinated.
The county is confident at the present rate of hospitalizations (52 last week), that they have enough capacity. But that was last week.
This sudden outbreak of almost double infections with the highly social travel Thanksgiving 7-day effect, must be watched with an action plan if the 300 a day trend continues in Westchester and the 6 other counties in the region have no new hospital capacity to match Westchester.
If Westchester Medical Center is expected to handle overflow of patient needs in Rockland, Ulster, Dutchess, Orange,Putnam and Sullivan counties they may be caught flat-footed and understaffed. As the last 7 days showed the spread can rise into a tsunami on you due to human frailty, overconfidence, the need to be together and no-vaccinationees by Christmas.
It appears the Thanksgiving weekend has unleashed a new surge of the fourth wave in 7 days! The doubling of rise in infections started with the last week in September (the legacy of Labor Day Weekend)
The number of infections jumped November 30 to 311. December 1 they went up to 359. December 2, 322..
We are now just 7 days after the holiday travel and Thanksgiving holidays started.
Infections the last three days through Thursday December 2 are 311,359 and 322., an average: 330. If that 330 does not decline sharply and continues, 2 new persons would per every 1 newly testing positive, could produce approximately 4,620 infections the week before Christmas.
The entire 7-county MidHudson region posts including covid-overwhelmed Nassau and Suffolk County had 2,493 new cases of covid down 748 from Wednesday’s 3,137.( down 25%).
New York City showed 2,265 new cases, with Brooklyn and Queens (adjacent Nassau and Suffolk County) having 713 and 598 separately with Nassau and Suffolk with 688 new cases and 830 new cases continuing on fire for the second straight day.
Nassau had 856 cases Wesnesday, and 680 on Thursday. Suffolk County dipped to 830 new cases Thursday, down from 1,103 on Wednesday.
Nassau and Suffolk continue to be the problem for the region spreading cases west into Queens and Brooklyn, it would appear.
The 10 COUNTIES ENCIRCLING NYC HAVE 2,493 NEW COVID CASES, 265 MORE THAN NYC’S 2,265. FOR 10 DAYSTHE 10 SUBURBAN COUNTIES HAVE LEAD ALL NEW YORK CITY CASES- THE 10 OUTSIDE NYC HAD MOST CASES FOR 17 OF 22 DAYS (3 WEEKS)
Guidance on Limiting Non-Essential and Non-Urgent Procedures at Certain Hospitals Experiencing Limited Capacity
159,560Vaccine Doses Administered Over Last 24 Hours
49 COVID-19 Deaths Statewide Yesterday
Governor Kathy Hochul Fridday updated New Yorkers on the state’s progress combating COVID-19.
“New York State has confirmed five cases of the omicron variant. Let me be clear: this is not cause for alarm, we knew this variant was coming and we expect to see more cases,” Governor Hochul said. “I want to remind all New Yorkers to use the tools they have at their disposal to keep themselves and their communities safe: get your vaccine, get your booster, and wear your mask. We will get through this.”
The Governor and the Department of Health today also released written guidance on Executive Order No. 11, which enables the Department to protect access to critical health care services by limiting non-essential, non-urgent procedures at certain hospitals currently experiencing limited capacity. While this order is effective today, determinations will be issued to facilities by December 6 to apply to procedures scheduled to occur on or after December 9.
Editor’s Note: On Thursday, Westchester County suffered 359 new covid infections, on December 1, up from 311 on Tuesday November 30. The covid tracker still is lagging 48 hours behind reporting daily results. It marked the 16th day in the last 21 days the Mid-Hudson Region and Long Island had more new covid cases than New York City. Long Island reported 1,958 new infections of the 3,137 infections in Mid-Hudson Region and Long Island combined. Westchester r has an infection rate of 3% testing positive a long range possibility of the 359 cases December 1st infecting 622 new persons in two weeks.

The COVID-19 Vaccine Tracker Dashboard is available to update New Yorkers on the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine. The New York State Department of Health requires vaccinating facilities to report all COVID-19 vaccine administration data within 24 hours; the vaccine administration data on the dashboard is updated daily to reflect the most up-to-date metrics in the state’s vaccination effort. New York State Department of Health-reported data from NYSIIS and CIR differs slightly from federally-reported data, which is inclusive of federally-administered doses and other minor differences. Both numbers are included in the release above.
BIGGEST STORY OF THE YEAR: FRENCH AMERICAN SCHOOL SELLS!EXCLISIVE: DAN SEDEL ON WHERE THE RIDGEWAY PROPERTY GOES NOW THAT IT’S SOLDNEW HOLIDAY SURGE?COUNTY EXECUTIVE GEORGE LATIMER AND COMMISSIONER OF HEALTH EXPLAIN COUNTY MINDSET NEW COVID RESTRICIONS; VACCINATION AND HOSPITALIZATION LEVELSIJOHN BAILEY AND THE NEWS — A FRIDAY NIGHT MUST SEE TV FOR 20 YEARS
WPCNR COVID MONITOR. From the NY State Covid Tracker. Observations by John F. Bailey. December 2, 2021:
THE 4-DAY Thanksgiving holiday began a new surge of covid cases that appeared Tuesday November 30.
Today Thursday, the state Covid tracker routinely has the results of new cases the previous day. They are currently 48 hours behind in reporting., which this reporter never recalls happening before. Hopefully this will be corrected by Friday which should report Wednesday and Thursday results to see whether this 4-day holiday has caused a surge
The confluence of Thanksgiving and this holiday week of celebration, office parties and travel may be starting a trend of new cases in the county as it did last year at this time.
Last week, Westchester at this time in the Tuesday, November 23 through Tuesday November 30 averaged 164 new positive covid cases a day.
Tuesday, November 30, 9,872 persons were tested and 3.2% tested positive 311, 164 more than Monday when Westchester had 179, acompared to last week’s average 2.7% a day positive rate. The average tests daily last week were 6,078 a day for 9 days.
The 7 MidHudson region counties including Westchester totaled 1,079 Tuesday, compared to 638 on Monday, a 69% increase in 24 hours.
The numbers that chill me are the health disaster unfolding in Nassau and Suffolk Counties on Long Island.
The two counties on Long Island had 1,969 positive cases virtually DOUBLE the cases the counties Monday. Nassau and Suffolk Counties reported 1,068 case Monday. That is 85% new positives in 24 hours. The hospitals on Long Island, according to WCBS radio Sunday announced they had no capacity problems and would not limit elective surgeries as Governor Hochul’s Emergency Executive Order said.
The 9 counties now have lead New York City in new cases for 15 of the last 20 days.

The long FASNY saga is finally over. We received news yesterday that FASNY has sold the entire property to Farrell Building Company, a residential developer from Long Island.
It has been over 10 years since FASNY purchased the former country club and announced plans for a regional school complex. Locating such a facility in the middle of a residential neighborhood with limited accessibility to regional roads was always a bad idea. The effort to defend our neighborhood against this plan required significant financial costs and time-consuming hours. Numerous committees of neighborhood residents were formed to evaluate all aspects of the FASNY proposal. Countless public hearings were attended by vast numbers of the community as well as numerous e-mails and letters sent to our elected officials.
I would like to thank the Gedney Association Board members during this period who gave their time so generously to this effort and the majority of White Plains neighborhood associations who supported our position, as well as the over 2,000 residents of the City who signed the petition rejecting the FASNY proposal. Lastly, I want to thank former Common Council Members Milagros Lecuona and Dennis Krolian who, despite enormous outside pressure, maintained their independence and supported preserving the integrity of the Gedney Farms neighborhood.
We look forward to hearing from the Farrell Building Company. We expect that the property will be developed pursuant to the existing zoning which permits detached single-family homes on 30,000 square foot lots. Further, any development should be compatible with the existing historic character of the neighborhood while preserving as much open space and natural features for this designated environmentally sensitive site.
Relining Saves Time, Saves Money Fixes Sewers Efficiently. Green Mountain cooking and installing vinyl liners on Havilands Lane, White Plains New York USA
WPCNR FOLLOWUPPER.December 1, 2021.
When Green Mountain completed relining Havilands Lane with expanding vinyl lining, (the white material shown in the above photo), with absoultely minimal time (1 DAY) and ABSOLUTELY no inconvenience to the neighborhood, I figured it had to be saving millions of dollars.
I called the Mayor’s Office asking Karen Pasquali, Senior Advisor to Mayor Roach, to find out, in addition to consideration of residents and minimal inconvenience to neighborhoods and time saving, how much relining with vinyl saves the city.
Ms. Pasquali issued this statement:
“This info is from DPW in response to your message:Sewer lining costs about $75 per linear foot vs. about $665 per linear foot to replace the pipe.Over the last 3 years we’ve done about 50,000 linear feet.So since we lined instead of replacing, we saved approximately $29,500,000.”
WPCNR POLICE GAZETTE. From White Plains Police. December 1, 2021UPDATED 4:23 P.M. E.S.T.:
An abortion clinic in White Plains was the subject of a demonstration Saturday afternoon.
Commissioner of Public Safety David Chong in a statement described what happened.
” It was not an “attack” but a demonstration of around 20-25 people. Most of the demonstrators stayed on the sidewalk.
Three people made entry into the medical facilities and after 3 warnings were arrested for criminal trespass, they were issued Desk Appearance tickets because that’s what the law allows for trespass.
No injuries reported by police or demonstrators.This happened between 130 pm-330 pm.”
White Plains Police Chief Joseph Castelli identified those arrested in this statement this afternoon:
“Willaim Goodman and Christopher Moscinski charged with NYS Penal Code Section 140.10 Criminal Trespass 3rd- Subsection, a Matthew Connolly charged with NYS Penal Code Section 140.05 Trespass. All other press inquiries are being deferred as this is an ongoing investigation.”
Demonstrations like this have occurred regularly at the clinic for sometime.
WPCNR was advised of this incident through a Choice Matters e-mail describing the incident.
