Variety
Oliver Stone – „Platoon“ (1986)

Dschungel, Schlamm und konstante Paranoia. Absolut keine Helden, kein Happy End. Ein Film, wie schweres Fieber. Und ein Film von Oliver Stone. Es ist tatsächlich spürbar, dass er dabei war, in Vietnam. Der Schweiß, die Mücken, die Schreie in der Nacht – nichts davon wirkt erfunden. Schon die erste Szene lässt das Publikum jede Hoffnung verlieren. Keine Hollywood-Kriegs-Glorie, sondern nur eine Schilderung des Überlebens von Stunde zu Stunde. Tag zu Tag. Mit Charlie Sheen, Tom Berenger und Willem Dafoe. (ARTE, Wh.)

Libby (in Brattleboro, she really didn't need a last name) was a fixture around town. I used to see her here in the late 1980s and she was a resident of Brattleboro by 1990. From talking with a lot of people since she died in December 2025, it appears folks knew her by sight because she walked around town a lot or they didn't notice her at all because her frequent presence made her part of the community's ambience, with very little in between. A few local people knew of her acting career. Nearly everyone here didn't.

I have posted a good deal of information about Libby at the genealogy website, FamilySearch.org, and this article pulls many details together very nicely.

Libby was something like a Brattleboro institution and it is hard to imagine the town without her.

Libby Howes, a Promising Young Actress, Left New York in 1981 and Disappeared. What Happened?

Libby Howes was an imposing presence onstage with the Wooster Group. But after abruptly leaving New York in 1981 she became a theater world mystery. What happened?

The New York Times

Great storytellers would have done better with #MCU #SpiderMan.
Why do "purists" like Peter being poor? & don't say "relatability".
#UncleBenning #AuntMay?
#AlfredMolina was great.
#WillemDafoe was amazing.
Into the Spider-Verse & Across the Spider-Verse did the #SpiderVerse better.
BUT: What If:
In Future Stories:
Peter trying to fill Tony's #GiganticShoes.
Being a big #Brother to #Morgan.

What if his beliefs aligned more w/ #VictorVonDoom
than that of #ReedRichards.

So much wasted potential.

‘It’s a fun cocktail!’: the Wooster Group’s head-spinning blend of high and low art

In wonderfully bewildering shows, New York’s venerable avant garde theatre company mash together everything from baroque opera to sci-fi B-movies. Their next trick? A seance-style tribute to an old friend
