![]() ![]() It's a conclusion that's meant to be hopeful, but Charlie Hunnam's thoughts put a very dark spin on it. The Lost City Of Z depicts things very differently, with the main narrative of the theory ignored - but at the very end the film does use Percy Fawcett's compass as evidence of his possible survival. And now as all of those people were now really struggling because of the decline of the rubber boom over there, that last expedition went off to great fanfare and was very highly publicized.Īs I expressed in the interview, it's a pretty grim situation to think about, though it does make a certain degree of sense. Overall just okay for me like I dont think I will crave to watch it again but if it happens to be on may see it again. on Jat 6:01 AM Was expecting more adventure moments in the film. And as you saw, the rubber trade was really filled with a lot of unscrupulous, villainous people. Discuss Movies The Lost City of Z General. And yet he'd been there so many times and navigated so many difficult situations with such elegance and grace, I just didn't buy it.The other theory is that that whole area had fallen into such a period of economic decline by the time that he was doing those last expeditions - and actually the final expedition, though it was much smaller, was very well-financed, so we had all of this really great equipment. So the two options that we had were - the two that I give most credence to, theories of what might have happened - was A) he fell foul to a hostile tribe. I don't think anybody believed that he found the lost city and decided that it was some paradise where he was never going to come back. Well, I think there are two distinct, slightly conflicting ideas of exactly what happened to him. ![]() He went on to explain the principal schools of thought in the matter, and why he thinks that natives weren't responsible for his character's death. Acknowledging that nobody really knows what happened to Percy Fawcett and his son in the depths of the Amazon, I asked the star about the conversations he had with James Gray and the research he did. His ring that he never took off, that was a gift from his son was found in a pawn shop several months after he disappeared.Ĭharlie Hunnam recently participated in the Los Angeles press day for The Lost City of Z, and part of our discussion during our one-on-one interview was about the decisions made with the ending. Because his compass did show up quite soon after his disappearance. The theory I subscribe to, or personally believe, is that it was the white man followed him into the jungle and killed him for his equipment. This was the angle chosen by writer/director James Gray, but Hunnam actually has some very different thoughts on what really happened to the man he portrayed. Lining up with theories from historians, the film depicts the duo running afoul of a cannibalistic tribe and being literally marched into darkness. In the final scenes of The Lost City Of Z, the mysterious fate of explorer Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam) and his son ( Tom Holland) is painted with a slightly ambiguous, but still rather scary brush. ![]()

![]() ![]() The fish was eaten next morning for breakfast so it was not wasted. Ethically we always want to return our fish, but knowing full well that the fish was going to die, we feel that a sharp knock on the head is the best option. This is always a dilemma when fishing in a C&R venue. Kev soon started catching and he ended with three fish, one of which had the hook so far down that it was bleeding badly and so, sadly, he had to dispatch it. This fish had taken my small caenis pattern and it was obvious that a good hatch of tricos was underway, so I made sure that Doug and Kev were aware of this. The fight though was quite short and soon I had a beautiful rainbow at the side of the lake. The fish raced into the lake and I was soon into backing. Heading back to check on the others I saw a decent head and tail rise and so put a fly in front of the fish and had immediate success. I caught three or four brown trout that fought really well though were only about twelve ounce to a pound. I wandered off and fished towards where the river flows in, though it was much further than I had imagined. We found a suitable stopping bay and gave Hebgen an hour and sure enough caught a few trout, but none were of any size, and so we carried on towards Quake Lake. But, that was the only fish seen, and so, after a fruitless hour of exploring we carried on round Hebgen. We even saw a rise as we walked towards it. ![]() Clear water, easily wadeable with lovely runs. Secondly, we tried Grayling Creek, which looked beautiful. The first spot we were advised to try was impossible to find. The sun had by now appeared and although a few showers came through the day it warmed up enough for us to fish. In fact we left with so much information on places to fish that we were bewildered. “Big Sky Anglers” was some shop! In there I met a good pal of Gareth Jones and he was just so helpful.

Sky General Manager and Head Coach James Wade will have until May 5 to trim the final roster to down 12. with Chicago’s current roster standing at 20 players. Murray proved to be back to normal this season and shined throughout the playoffs. CHICAGO (April 13, 2022) The Chicago Sky today announced that the team has signed undrafted rookies Lexi Donarski and Kayla Wells to training camp contracts. He didn’t pay for Team Canada, but he did attend their training camps. In the 2022 offseason, Murray was still working to get back to 100% after missing the entire 2021-22 season. However, they are more than happy to have Jamal Murray playing for them this summer. NBA players from Canada not on the 2023 roster are Andrew Wiggins, Bennedict Mathurin, and Shaedon Sharpe. Team Canada would love to add his seven-foot-four frame to play smothering defense. Another intriguing player who could make the final roster cut is Purdue big man, Zach Edey. Those are just a few of the 18 players that Canada currently has on their extended roster. Other NBA players joining Murray for the World Cup are Shai-Gilgeous Alexander, RJ Barrett, Dillon Brooks, and Lu Dort.

Their only loss came in overtime in Game 2. In the WNBA Finals, the Sky defeated the Phoenix Mercury in four games to win their first WNBA championship. 500 or below, and the lowest seed to do so since the new playoff format was introduced in 2016.

Facing the first-seeded Connecticut Sun in a best-of-three semifinals series, they won the Game 1 in a double overtime thriller but lost Game 2 on the road. Entering the offseason, the Sky only had four players from the previous season under contract. They faced the Minnesota Lynx on the road in the Second Round, winning the game 89–76. They hosted the Dallas Wings in the First Round, and won in dominating fashion 81–64. The Sky entered the playoffs as the sixth seed. In September, they began with a road loss and closed out the season with a four game home-stand that they split 2–2, finishing the season 16–16. After the break, they recorded a 4–3 record in August, including back-to-back road wins in Seattle. They entered the mid-season Olympic break with a 10–10 record. However, they proceeded to go on a seven-game winning streak that included back-to-back wins over eventual top seed Connecticut. The Sky started the season with two wins but followed with a seven-game losing streak through mid-June. The offseason was marked by two-time WNBA MVP Candace Parker joining the team. In the postseason, the Sky won their first WNBA championship. This was their third season under head coach James Wade. CHICAGO (April 11, 2023) The Chicago Sky selected Kseniya Malashka (Kuh-sin-yuh Muh-lash-kuh) from Middle Tennessee State University with the 35 th overall pick in the third round of the 2023 WNBA Draft presented by State Farm, which aired Monday, April 10th on ESPN and live from New York.

Rosemary, and this was Awards & More, which was located here from 1999 to around the mid-2010s (it has since relocated). Rosemary being Laina Salon (and formerly Nori's Hair Studio, though indications are it essentially renamed.and for a short time was "Nori's Hair Studio & Reflexology). Rosemary being the long-time home of water purification company Jacob's Well (though the picture on their website is not of this location), and 704 N. Rosemary is vacant (no clue what was there), 702 N. There are also additional storefronts on North Rosemary Street. The store had long been a purveyor of organic and gluten free items long before the mainstream supermarkets had them, but the store closed in early 2021. Even before Sav-a-Lot left, there was one other "grocery store" at the center-at 4303 Texas Avenue (opened in 1988, as long as I can remember), was Brazos Natural Foods. It's important to note that although Piggly Wiggly was at 4300 Texas Avenue, but while the shopping center is still called that, none of the stores have that address (which makes sense, at some point the address was corrected). Because I don't have actual address-based directories, I haven't been able to ascertain what was in suite A after Piggly Wiggly's departure. It's now been subdivided once more, as you can see in my pictures. If I have my chronology right, the left location (suite A) later became Brazos Valley Christian Books (coincidentally, located at 3808 Texas Avenue in the early 1990s) and later Pack & Mail, which closed in the latter part of the 2000s. It was originally called "The Toy Box" and located at 3806 South Texas Avenue (later home to Brazos Blind & Draperies) and in suite A from 1990 to 1998, and then jumped to Suite B following Sav-a-Lot's closure. Now, Jacque's would claim it's been around since 1986 (the "start of business" time), but not in that space. It's not surprising if Save-a-Lot closed soon after, a failed stand in College Station is pretty much forgotten (and hey, that was an old Piggly Wiggly, too!)Īfter Save-a-Lot closed, it became Jacque's Toys & Books, a local upscale "learning toys" store. In 1994, Texas-T was bought from them by Save-a-Lot's parent company, SuperValu, and converted to Save-a-Lot (the rest of the Texas T stores were) before closing for good a few years later. In 1984, The Jewel Companies were bought by American Stores, and Jewel T was sold off to Save-a-Lot, but the Texas division was bought by Grand Prairie-based Shop-N-Sav and renamed Texas-T. Unfortunately, details are sparse on this elusive store, and it didn't last long. Owned by the same company running the Jewel-Osco stores in the Chicago area (and a play on the name "Jewel Tea", their original name), Jewel T was a discount store reportedly similar to Aldi and took residence in older-generation grocery stores. Instead, the store closed, and in 1981, part of the store (suite B) was reopened as a discount grocery store, Jewel T. Unfortunately, the Piggly Wiggly here didn't even last to the point where it was sold to Six Star Foods. In 1983, these stores were sold to local operator Six Star Foods, which kept three stores plus a store in Hearne limping along until they were closed in 1985. Piggly Wiggly in our corner of the world was owned by Piggly Wiggly Red River Co., which mostly owned the stores between I-20 and I-10 plus north of Dallas-Fort Worth, including Waco-Temple-Killeen, Conroe, Georgetown, Sherman-Denison, and Bryan-College Station. First opened in 1963, I can't nail down when it exactly it closed, but it seems to have been around 1980, give or take a year (and why it had an even number despite being on the odd-numbered side of Texas Avenue I don't know).
