  • Patricia Arquette Interview about ‘Severance’ and ‘Lost Highway’


    After nearly three years, “Severance”, one of 2022’s most celebrated shows, is finally returning. The critically acclaimed series, which explores the sci-fi extremes of work-life balance, begins its ten-episode second season on January 17. Patricia Arquette, who earned an Emmy nomination for her role as the calculating Harmony Cobel, returns to play the office manager who stalks her employees outside of the company. As the air date approaches, Arquette is excited, but reluctant to open up too much about what lies in store. “I don’t really carry characters with me, or I try very hard not to, but ‘Severance‘ is different,” she told IndieWire.

    “Whenever people ask me about playing Harmony Cobel or ‘Severance,’ this little thing comes into my mind and I just want to lie to them,” she said with a wry smile. “So, whatever I say, I wouldn’t count on it.”

    One thing fans of the series can count on is that the second season production had a very different atmosphere from the first. “When we shot [season one], it was during Covid before there were vaccines or anything,” Arquette said. “We wore plastic face shields and masks, and we were all separated. You couldn’t joke with anyone so there was this kind of weird dystopian separation thing happening. At the time I was thinking, ‘I don’t think anyone’s gonna want to watch this thing right now.’ I was very happily surprised when it connected with so many people.”

    Anticipation for its second season has been tortuously drawn out for fans. SZA spoke for many when she tweeted last May that she would like Season 2 “right the fuck now”, prompting Stiller to respond, “oh ok got it”. Several months later, before the release of the first eight minutes, an official synopsis of the new season promised employees were “learning the dire consequences of trifling with the severance barrier, leading them further down a path of woe.” 

    For Arquette, the concept of a divided self goes well beyond the workplace. “I think there’s a lot of people that are severed all around us,” she said. “People having affairs are severed, people who are criminals and liars and even normal people can be severed in many, many ways. So I think that’s an interesting thing to look at. Maybe that resonates for a lot of people.”

    It is a concept that certainly resonates with her. Born in Chicago, Arquette was the daughter of actress and dancer Mardi Nowak and actor Lewis Arquette, best known for playing a mercurial manager J. D. Pickett in the television series “The Waltons”. Mardi’s temper and Lewis’s alcoholism meant that home life was turbulent and often abusive for her and her siblings. By the time she was 17, Arquette’s sister Alexis had made her screen debut in “Down and Out in Beverly Hills”, younger brother David was making moves toward his own career as an actor, and older sister Rosanna had starred alongside Madonna in the film “Desperately Seeking Susan,” and in Martin Scorsese’s “After Hours.”

    “For me, it was actually an organised effort to become brave enough to act,” Arquette said. “Although I was a little bit spunky, I was also very shy. I’ve struggled with codependence in my life and trying to appease other people. Some people can be very assertive, I don’t have that kind of bravery. I feel like it’s an ongoing effort to discover what I want.”

    Arquette began both her television and film career in 1987 with a memorable appearance in “Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors” and “Daddy,” a television movie since used in high school health classes to educate about the dangers of teen pregnancy. 

    “When I was 18, I graduated high school and I didn’t know if I wanted to be an actor or a midwife,” she said. “I looked at that choice and I said to myself, ‘more than being an actor or midwife, I want to be brave. I’m going to choose trying to be an actor so that I can experience failure and rejection and I can continue to try and show up and push through.’ I gave myself a year. Every day I would study a movie, I would take a class or I would go to an audition. Sometimes I got horrible responses, literally the worst feedback you could ever get, like, ‘this is the worst actor we’ve ever seen. Why did you send her to us?’ But, I actually got work. Because of my drive to fail, my drive to be brave, I started to get jobs.”

    By 1990, she was appearing in guest roles in the television series’ “Thirtysomething” and “Tales from the Crypt”before starring in the decade-defining films “True Romance,” “Ed Wood,” and “Flirting With Disaster.”

    Of her performances during the 1990s, few have endured more than her dual role in David Lynch’s 1997 film“Lost Highway”. Arquette has spoken about the difficulties she faced playing Renee, the suspicious wife of Bill Pullman’s saxophone player Fred Madison, and Alice Wakefield, wife of gangster Mr Eddy and femme fatale to the young man that Pullman’s character transforms into partway through the film, after Fred is jailed for Renee’s murder.

    In a review typical of many at the time, Roger Ebert wrote of Arquette’s roles, “we don’t feel it’s a surrealistic joke. We feel – I dunno, I guess I felt jerked around.” Ebert also expressed discomfort at the scene in which Alice is forced to disrobe at gunpoint, a scene she herself struggled to shoot. Despite its Trent Reznor-produced soundtrack album charting in the Top 10, and positive reviews for Arquette’s performances, “Lost Highway” was a box office disappointment. As with many films that deepen with repeat viewings and fail to offer easy resolutions, Lynch’s film has undergone a critical reappraisal, something Arquette is thrilled to discover.

    “Really?” she said, eyes widening with surprise. “I’m so glad to hear it’s getting appreciated because I think it’s a really, really interesting movie.” Unprompted, she recalls her experiences on set. “As an actress, David doesn’t give you a lot of information. So I’d say, ‘David, am I playing two people? Is this one a ghost?’ And he’d say,” she adopts Lynch’s voice: ‘What do you think, Patrish?’” she smiles. “So, I had to make up my own logic. I decided we’re looking at women through the eyes of a misogynist, but one who is woke enough to know he shouldn’t think this way. It’s almost become a subconscious part of him,” she widens her eyes before launching into her interpretation of the film that has puzzled so many viewers.

    “When he kills her, he can’t reconcile that in his mind, so he reimagines himself as this regular guy, an innocent young mechanic,” she said. “But then he meets her again, and she wants him, and now they’re in love. But even then, to him, she’s a whore. Because in the mind of a misogynist, a narcissist, you will always become a monster.”

    When Lynch explained that “Lost Highway” was inspired by the televised trial of O.J. Simpson, many wrote the observation off as more weirdness from the “Twin Peaks” creator who frustrated millions of Americans by refusing to reveal Laura Palmer’s killer before disappointing them by doing exactly that. For Arquette, the parallels are clear.

    “David wrote “Lost Highway” during the O.J. Simpson trial. If you were watching it live, at a certain point you saw O.J. begin to believe his own lie,” she slows her speech, remembering. “You started to see him almost… imagining it all away. Like, ‘what an innocent I am.’ It was very strange to observe. I feel like there’s a lot of elements of that in this movie.”

    As she speaks about her memories of “Lost Highway”, Arquette notes the similarities between the “innies” and “outies” of “Severance”, and her roles as Renee and Alice. Besides the challenges posed by Covid, Arquette’s experiences working with the cast and crew of the Apple TV+ series have been positive. Working on Lynch’s set required a level of bravery that the shy girl from Chicago had not drawn on before.

    “That was the hardest movie for me to ever make because I’ve always been very shy,” she said carefully. “Especially sexually. I think I probably had a lot of trauma. Even when I was little, I would never want anyone to look at me naked. For many years, I would even take baths in the dark, alone with just a candle. For me, making “Lost Highway”was one of the bravest things I could have done. I was so sick of carrying this burden of terror, this fear,” she says, her voice rising from a near whisper. “That was a very powerful movie for me to make. I kind of met my own shadow.”

    “Severance” Season 2 premieres on Apple TV+ January 17.



    An Exclusive Interview with Patricia Arquette: Delving into ‘Severance’ and Reflecting on ‘Lost Highway’

    I had the pleasure of sitting down with the talented and versatile actress Patricia Arquette to discuss her latest project, the highly acclaimed Apple TV+ series ‘Severance’, as well as reflecting on her iconic role in David Lynch’s cult classic film ‘Lost Highway’.

    In ‘Severance’, Arquette plays the enigmatic and complex character of Mark, a high-powered executive at a mysterious company that offers its employees the opportunity to undergo a procedure that separates their work and personal lives. As the series unfolds, we see Mark navigate the blurred lines between reality and fantasy, raising thought-provoking questions about the nature of identity, memory, and the pursuit of happiness.

    When asked about her experience working on ‘Severance’, Arquette shared, “It was such a unique and challenging role for me. I was drawn to the script because it really delves into the human psyche and the ways in which we compartmentalize our lives. Mark is a character that is both relatable and complex, and I loved exploring her journey throughout the series.”

    We also delved into Arquette’s role in ‘Lost Highway’, a film that has become a cult classic for its surreal and mind-bending narrative. In the film, Arquette plays the dual roles of Renee Madison and Alice Wakefield, two characters who may or may not be the same person, blurring the lines between reality and illusion.

    Reflecting on her experience working with David Lynch on ‘Lost Highway’, Arquette shared, “Working with David was an incredible experience. He has such a unique vision and approach to storytelling, and it was a true pleasure to be a part of that film. ‘Lost Highway’ has a timeless quality to it, and I’m grateful to have been a part of such a memorable project.”

    As our conversation came to a close, it was clear that Patricia Arquette’s talent and versatility as an actress continue to shine in both ‘Severance’ and ‘Lost Highway’. Her ability to embody complex and compelling characters is a testament to her skill and dedication to her craft, and I can’t wait to see what she takes on next.

    PANAMA CITY, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) – As a storm approaches Florida, the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) is preparing to monitor Interstate 10 across Troop A and H, from Escambia County to Madison County.

    FHP Captain Jason King emphasized the importance of public safety during the storm. “Your safety is of the utmost importance to us,” he said. “Please do your part to be prepared for the weather event, drive defensively, and Arrive Alive.”

    FHP also noted that headquarters staff and commercial vehicle enforcement teams are on standby to assist if a large-scale event occurs.

    The public is urged to stay informed, stay prepared, and prioritize safety as the storm moves through the region.

NOW, TRUMP WAS INDICTED BACK IN AUGUST 2023 ON CHARGES OF WORKING TO OVERTURN THE ELECTION, BUT THE CASE WAS ULTIMATELY DELAYED AND DROPPED AS LONG STANDING PRESIDENT SAYS A SITTING PRESIDENT CANNOT FACE FEDERAL PROSECUTION.

  • Utica declares snow emergency; dump truck rolls over highway ramp

    Utica declares snow emergency; dump truck rolls over highway ramp


    The City of Utica has declared a snow emergency due to a winter storm hitting Central New York and other parts of Upstate New York.

    The Utica snow emergency takes effect tonight, Thursday, Jan. 2, at 10 p.m. All vehicles must be removed from city streets by 10 p.m. to facilitate safe passage for snow removal and emergency services, Mayor Michael P. Galime said.

    Any vehicles left on the streets after the emergency takes effect are subject to ticketing and towing at the owner’s expense. The snow emergency will remain in effect until further notice, Galime said.

    The snowstorm and slick road conditions caused a dump truck to roll over on a highway ramp Thursday morning, according to the Observer-Dispatch. Photos released by the Utica Fire Department show the truck upside down with its load spilled out over the edge.

    The Fire Department’s official Facebook page shared a post that said the driver escaped without injuries.

    Police said the Oriskany Street ramp to downtown Utica from Route 12 closed around 10:30 a.m. Oriskany Street eastbound from the Varick Street-State Street ramp to Broadway is also closed; drivers are encouraged to use alternate routes.

    Madison, Northern Oneida, Onondaga, and Southern Oneida counties are currently under lake effect snow warnings, according to the National Weather Service. Between 1 to 3 feet of snow is expected to accumulate through Saturday, with wind gusts as high as 40 miles per hour.

    “Travel could be very difficult to impossible,” the weather service said. “Be prepared for rapid changes in weather, visibility, and road conditions.”

    Utica, NY Declares Snow Emergency as Dump Truck Rolls Over Highway Ramp

    The city of Utica, New York has declared a snow emergency as winter weather continues to wreak havoc on the area. In addition to heavy snowfall and icy conditions, a dump truck has rolled over on a highway ramp, causing traffic delays and further complicating cleanup efforts.

    The incident occurred on the ramp from Route 12 to the New York State Thruway, with authorities urging drivers to avoid the area if possible. The overturned dump truck has spilled its contents onto the roadway, creating a hazardous situation for emergency crews working to clear the scene.

    With the snow emergency in effect, residents are being asked to stay off the roads unless absolutely necessary. City crews are working around the clock to plow and salt the streets, but the combination of snowfall and freezing temperatures has made for treacherous driving conditions.

    As the cleanup efforts continue and the winter weather shows no signs of letting up, Utica residents are being urged to exercise caution and stay safe during this challenging time. Stay tuned for further updates on the situation.

  • California Highway Patrol gets in some monkey business during routine stop

    California Highway Patrol gets in some monkey business during routine stop


    A routine traffic stop took an unusual turn when a California Highway Patrol official stopped a Rolls-Royce in Madera County on Monday.

    Officials pulled the 2022 Rolls-Royce Ghost over for excessive speeding on Highway 99 but were surprised when they found a Spider Monkey in the car.

    CHP noted that finding the exotic animal in an exotic car made it especially bizarre “a traffic stop with a twist.”

    The monkey was safely taken into custody by animal control and eventually transferred to the Oakland Zoo to receive appropriate care. (CHP Madera)

    The monkey is believed to be one month old and, in California, primates are illegal to own as pets.

    The driver, identified as Ali Mused Adel Mohamed, 27, was also found to be under the influence and placed under arrest for DUI and in possession of cannabis for sale, police officials said.

    “Some next level monkey business! The driver was booked at the Madera County Jail and is facing several charges, including possession of an exotic animal,” they wrote on their social media accounts.



    California Highway Patrol officers were in for a surprise during a routine traffic stop when they encountered a monkey in the driver’s seat. The officers pulled over a vehicle for a minor violation and were shocked to find a monkey sitting in the driver’s seat, calmly watching them.

    The officers quickly realized that the monkey was a trained service animal and that the driver had a valid permit to have the animal in the car. Despite the unusual situation, the officers handled the encounter with professionalism and even managed to snap a few photos with the monkey before sending the driver on their way.

    The unexpected encounter left the officers and the driver laughing and will surely be a memorable story to share with their colleagues. It just goes to show that you never know what you’ll encounter on the job, even when you’re just making a routine stop on the highway.
