On the plus side, making no money probably helped when the real Wooderson and other former classmates of Linklater’s sued him for using them and their names for characters in his movie.

West had perceived that act of kindness as a slight against Travis Scott

Even Peter Jackson had to sue to get an audit of Lord of the Rings. It’s not just first time or indie directors.

Every film shows a loss, but studios always show a profit.

They haven’t really justified Phyllis’ vitriol and distrust of Elizabeth, have they? All Elizabeth did was pitch her a dud idea when she was a college freshman.

100%, as I’ve pointed out elsewhere, billionaires fetishizing Banks is hilarious. Dude even described his own series as being about a socialist utopian society of staggering technological power.

Well someone’s got to, and I don’t see any gosh-darned Millennials with their iPads and pink dyed hair stepping up to the plate. 

It’s the way of the future.
