The Search is Over
(Entertainment Weekly)
There he is!
That makes total sense for fans of the powerful 1993 movie, Searching for Bobby Fischer, which was based on the true story of a young prodigy’s pursuit towards reaching the chess status of the legendary player. The poster above is Tobey Maguire, who will be portraying the chess champion in the film, Pawn Sacrifice. The movie is due out in September of this year.
Even without a trailer, this poster alone will likely spark quite a bit of buzz because of the naturally intriguing enigma of chess and, perhaps, the equally enigmatic mind of a master chess player. As is custom with anyone considered a genius (no matter the profession), people are captivated to understand how and why these individuals think the way they do.
Bobby Fischer is no exception.
Pawn Sacrifice will have a couple hours to reach an entertaining checkmate with the audience.
Hopefully, the movie makes the right gambit.
Happy Monday!
The work week can feel like a treacherous labyrinth with a myriad of turns and trick doors that lead to only one rewarding exit. And once Monday morning hits, it can hit hard. Loosely planning our schedule for the week Sunday evening is instantly translated from an outlook to reality when our alarms abruptly ring Monday morning. It’s here and it’s real.
How are we supposed to approach the work week with this unwelcome jolt of musical tunes/tones?
Some days require laughter, some days require inspiration and some days require the mental equivalent to coffee with shots of acute cognitive awareness…with a timer.
This may even come from somewhere you never expected. But when you arrive and realize how to play the game, you never want to leave that place.
Happy Monday!
