Jamie Lee Curtis has some new sounding quotes in an article with Bang Showbiz. Its one of those dubiously sourced UK pieces, but I think theyre quoting her interview with Notebook Magazine, which is the supplement to the Sunday Mirror. Shes clearly referring to the liar-in-chief when shes asked about what she finds the scariest. She says liars and gaslighters basically, and explains that there are people who just believe whatever they say. I agree wholeheartedly.
Halloween was top at the box office on its second weekend. I saw it last Sunday, the 21st. My small local theater was packed for the matinee and people really enjoyed it. I think Halloween works because its a tight horror film with great writing and strong characters. It has that in common with A Quiet Place in that its under two hours, it has solid character development and is genuinely scary. There are moments that require that you suspend disbelief but it doesnt overreach or get too complicated. Hopefully this means were getting more horror films at the box office. Anyway heres what Jamie told Notebook:
When asked what scares her the most, Jamie said: Liars. People who pretend to be one thing and mean another.
Somebody who says This is orange juice, and youre like, No, its water.
But there are people in my country, if they say this is orange juice long enough, youll believe its orange juice. That scares the s**t out of me terribly were at a time in the world where there are some people who say one thing and mean completely the other.

All of this. You have 45 saying one thing one day and then claiming the opposite the next even though its on tape. Hes done this in the course of a single interview and yet somehow the press isnt calling it what it is. There are no two equally weighted sides to the truth and a lie. Theres definitely good and evil though, just as there will be people who refuse to acknowledge that while aligning with their own self interests. Fingers crossed that this epic battle were fighting in the US is close to settled in a week. Maybe thats another reason so many of us are seeing Halloween. We really want to see an older woman kick the boogeymans ass.

We’re still waiting for the final toxicology results on Prince. He was known to have been using Percocet to treat his hip pain, and it’s been reported that he succumbed to an accidental overdose. We also just learned that he was sadly scheduled to see an addiction specialist the day after he died. Prince’s death is a tragic reminder of the cost of addiction, which affects so many people from all walks of life. Now Jamie Lee Curtis, 57, has opened up about her own addiction, in the late 90s, to opiates. She wrote a brief, compelling essay for The Huffington Post revealing what she went through.
So, awaiting final toxicology, it has now been reported in the New York Times that Prince was toxic. I can relate. I was toxic too.
I too, waited anxiously for a prescription to be filled for the opiate I was secretly addicted to.
I too, took too many at once. I too, sought to kill emotional and physical pain with pain killers. Kill it. Make it stop.
Too many of our fellow humans, famous, infamous, and not famous at all, have sought the same relief. The symbolism of James Taylor?s ?Fire and Rain,? an anthem of addiction, seems more poignant as now it is a purple rain, another loss to drug addiction.
I am one of the lucky ones as I have been in recovery from opiate addiction for over 17 years.
It seems now that the governmental body, the AMA, the FDA and the media are starting to address the rampant epidemic of opiate addiction. There have been reclassifications and attempts at reigning in the overprescription of opiates.
Most people who become addicted, like me, do so after a prescription for a painkiller following a medical procedure. Once the phenomenon of craving sets in, it is often too late.
I, like all of you, mourn the passing of a great artist but I also mourn the passing of potential artists past and present, caught in this deadly vise.
Let?s work harder, look closer and do everything we can not to enable and in doing so, disable, our loved ones who are ill.
This is what it sounds like when we all cry.

That was powerful. Kudos to Jamie Lee for speaking out, that must not have been easy. I’ve seen friends become addicted to prescription opiates. They’re given out for pain and for post operative care and and they can be difficult to quit, especially if the pain is ongoing and chronic. People need higher dosages over time to achieve the same level of relief and it becomes a vicious cycle.
Communities, families and so many people have been devastated by the opiate epidemic. There’s got to be a way to ensure that opiates are available to people who need them while limiting the possibility of abuse. There’s also the issue of addicts turning to heroin when prescription drugs get too expensive. There are no easy answers, but there are some stop gap measures like distributing “save shots” to local first responders and within communities. When we see legends like Price die we’re reminded that the longer it takes to implement solutions, the more people we’re going to lose to addiction.

Jamie Lee Curtis has a new interview in the print edition of People Magazine. Curtis, 56, is starring in Scream Queens and while she’s excellent as the gives-no-f*cks dean, it’s not a show I enjoy watching at all. Curtis’s interview is notable for the things she says about aging as a woman in Hollywood, which is a cause that’s close to her. She’s been open about the minor plastic surgery she’s had done and she famously posed in a bra and bike shorts with no makeup in 2002 for More Magazine. Curtis, with her short natural gray hair and minimal makeup, is a kind of icon for aging naturally in Hollywood. She’ll tell you about it too without sounding self righteous. Here’s

Jamie Lee Curtis, known for many horror movies such as Halloween and The Fog admitted that in the past, she turned to painkillers after routine cosmetic surgical procedure.Presently, Curtis is not using drugs to fight the killer pains and her successful quitting is something she’s most proud of.“I believe Mr. Jackson was in pain,” she writes. “Mr. Jackson was an addict. It is coming out. Everywhere. He wanted relief and would get it in any name, place or method he could. It was and is a conspiracy of silence and I’m sure there were attempts to intervene and I’m sure his family and friends tried ? but the addict gets what the addict wants, relief from the pain of their life.”
