Funny enough, no mention in this article that they were contractually obligated to offer the main role to Frank Sinatra first — since he had a right of first refusal option after playing Leland in the first movie based on Leland...

It’s almost like the Daily Mail is a lying tabloid hack rage that exists to spread hate and that people should stop using it as a source for anything.

If he had payed the higher one-way direct flight fare, would he have been on the same flight at the same time, to the same destination?

Also, let’s get a shout-out for “buh-REE-toss.”

Zea is a goddess that should have been bigger.

Given the quality of articles here, they may need a more formal setting!!

Then became US Prez and tried to kill unions altogether.

This is all bullshit. Being a “Brand Ambassador” for a company like D&G means going to parties and posing for picture with “Beautiful People" in fancy places. You don’t do that job by tweeting from your couch and participating in Zoom calls. If she had been shooting a movie in New Zealand and commented from the set…

The creators have so much compassion for all of their unlovable subjects.

Righteous Gemstones is the only show, aside from Barry, that know how to stage violence in all its awkward, sudden and banal magnificence. That closing scene was just so perfectly executed. Violence is a dumb, horrific thing, and it takes great photography, direction and acting to make that happen.

Did anybody else notice that the band was playing the score to “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves” while Judy was storming in before she tore up the saxophone?

19 I could buy; 24-25 seems too old at that point in time.

The actors they got to play young Judy and Jesse were great—-especially Jesse, that kid had Danny’s mannerisms and cadence down pat.
