I just checked, Amazon studios hired Jennifer Ward-Lealand, who is a well known ‘intimacy coordinator’ for sex scenes.

Is this the LoTR series that earlier had casting calls for masses of actors who are comfortable with nudity?

Fun fact. China just set down on the moon, is currently collecting soil samples and sending back photos, and will be returning the samples to earth. And from what I can see the news has been entirely shut out of American media. It appears our interest in the moon isn’t as great as one might think.

I just got done watching a Korean series that coincidentally also involved duffel bags full of money and mind-bending plot twists. And main leads perhaps 20 years older than your usual K-drama leads, though they were far from geriatric.

Recent news events (which shall go unnamed) reminded me of a famous 2007 K-drama named ‘Coffee Prince’. In the story a young woman in need of a job gets employed as a ‘male’ server at a coffee bar that only hires male staff. Gender-bending romantic hijinks ensue. The problem with the premise, though, was the disguised…

I recall an old story. After the the TV miniseries ‘Sybil’ came out in 1976 ‘multiple personality disorder’ went from being an very rare disorder with only a small handful of recorded instances worldwide to an explosion of thousands of cases, most of which mirrored the symptoms acted out by Sally Fields onscreen.

The way the American music scene has been going in recent years the Grammys has devolved into a ‘tallest little person’ competition. Artists tussling to stand head-and-shoulders above their peers but who seem downright petite compared to past greats.

If Hollywood started forcing actors to only play their own sexual orientation the entire industry would come to a standstill.

Broadway musical fan Rachel Bloom once famously noted that a lot of her beloved Broadway musicals were BAD.

Streep started out in musical theater so she has an excuse for wanting to revisit her heyday. Also, roles for women actors over 70 are few and far between.

Considering how unforgivably Disney botched the live-action Mulan I’d figure Daredevil fans would be relieved to see it taken from Disney’s clutches.

It was said you can see the monolith in Google Earth picts going all the way back to 2016.

In an odd way, Mitchum excelled at playing washed-up has-beens, and he was playing those roles shortly after the sea-change in Hollywood which turned a lot of big old-time stars into has-beens. In this film he plays a guy past his prime who doesn’t quite understand the world he’s operating in. He had played an even…

I haven’t seen the film in decades but I recall being deeply impressed by it. At the time I was into those hard-to-find foreign films (1974 was before movie rentals!) and it seemed this film had borrowed all of the most satisfying aspects of foreign films and incorporated them into the production. I got the impression…

I’m reminded of Michael Caine who has never seen any of his own movies but says things lie Jaws The Revenge paid for his home in Bermuda.

People sign up to Twitter so they can log in to sites like these, as the alternate of logging in via Facebook seems too toxic.

The issued statement doesn’t divulge if Whedon got fed up with HBO, if HBO got fed up with Whedon, if the split was pandemic related or story arc related or cost of production related or behavior-in-set related. So why was the article trashing Whedon? Also, being despised by Zack Snider is a badge of honor.

I recall when it first came out I went into that film a big Anthony Hopkins fan. And I was aghast at what a bad film it was and how entirely wasted Hopkins was. Also, Anne Margaret fresh off critical acclaim in Carnal Knowledge in a... nothing role.

I was halfway through typing much the same thing when I spotted your post. Being brazenly vulgar can carry a person a long way in this country but it won’t win you any Nobel peace prizes or Grammys.

Life in the old days was short and brutal for most. It was theoretically possible to live til 80 but more likely you’d be dead well before 45. Which means there was no such thing as adolescence. You’re a child up until the point that you’re suddenly an adult and are thrown into backbreaking manual labor and siring…
