Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada spoke about the contradictions of human nature:

“Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one hardly ever use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about their living relatives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have one often don't appreciate it. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the satiated complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.”

The key to happiness is gratitude: truly seeing and appreciating what we already have, and understanding that somewhere, someone would give anything for what we take for granted.

The Kanye comeback is producing the most cleanly split market response in modern entertainment history.

U.S. side: Two sold-out SoFi Stadium shows. $33 million in ticket revenue across two nights. $18 million from a single Friday show, one of the highest-grossing single concerts ever. "Bully" debuts at #2 on Billboard 200 with 152,000 units. Spotify and RapCaviar feature him on top playlists. Live Nation is booking the tour through August across India, Turkey, the Netherlands, France, Spain, and Portugal.

U.K. side: Wireless Festival announces him as headliner for all three nights. Within days, Pepsi pulls its sponsorship. Diageo (Guinness, Smirnoff, Baileys, Captain Morgan, Johnnie Walker) pulls its sponsorship. The Prime Minister publicly condemns the booking. Campaign Against Antisemitism calls for a travel ban. Liberal Democrat leader calls it "extremely serious."

Same artist. Same week. Same album cycle. One market is pricing in the apology. The other is pricing in the pattern.

In January, he took out a full-page Wall Street Journal ad titled "To Those I've Hurt," attributed everything to bipolar disorder and a frontal lobe injury from his 2002 car crash. The ADL's response was telling: the apology is "long overdue" but "doesn't automatically undo" the years of antisemitic behavior.

The financial math tells you where this is actually heading. In October 2022, he lost Adidas ($1.5B in net worth gone overnight), Gap, Balenciaga, Vogue, his talent agency, and his lawyer in the span of about 72 hours. Forbes dropped him from $2B to $400M. Three and a half years later, he's pulling $33M from two shows and selling $20 merch on https://t.co/beks0SsMnb.

He rebuilt the revenue without rebuilding the corporate infrastructure. No brand deals. No equity partnerships. Direct-to-consumer everything. The concert math and streaming numbers prove the audience never left. The sponsor math proves the institutions did.

That's the actual story here. The consumer market and the corporate market have permanently forked on the same person.

largely responsible for a surge in cinephilia among young people that has almost no historical precedent while also helping raise the profiles of older films that would have otherwise gone forgotten and new films that would otherwise fly under the radar. undeniably good for film.

Cousin of the late great Roger Troutman, who pioneered the talkbox sound in the 70s and 80s, made California Love with Pac and Dre and then was tragically murdered. Ye put a Troutman back at the top of hip hop's elite and no matter what they say about him he's a good dude for it

Ms Lauryn Hill said “is it ok if I do a lil sum?” AND WENT ABSOLUTELY CRAZY 😭🔥🐐

I still haven’t recovered from this

SAY YOU WILL live with ANDRE TROUTMAN is one of the greatest live performances EVER.

Denzel Washington has never worked with Paul Thomas Anderson or Martin Scorsese. Am I asking for too much? I am but a meager fan of Cinema. I just want to see one of the best actors alive work with two of the best directors alive. I pray to the Cinema Gods this still happens.

Denis Villeneuve spent his 20's making no budget films and the occasional music video.

And in 30's, after getting the chance to finally direct a pair of feature films, they still didn't give him the success, or come out the way he hoped for.

So he took a near decade long break from film to raise his family and considered to quit filmmaking entirely, but despite being in his 40's he decided to give it another shot after watching a play, which he then adapated & directed and turned into Incendies which earned him an Academy Award in 2011, and put him on the map.

He then went onto make Enemy, Prisoners, Sicario, Arrival, Blade Runner 2049 and at 58 years old is now set to wrap him his epic Dune trilogy. Truly one of the more inspiring and beautiful stories in Hollywood, never give up on your dreams.

Back in 2013 Kanye had Bret Easton("American Psycho" author) to recreate an iconic scene from the film to promote the rapper's new album “Yeezus”

In Miami Vice, when Phil Collins’ “In the Air Tonight” plays, you witness one of the most cinematic moments ever on TV. It sets the tone so effortlessly and makes you realize just how f*cked up today’s TV industry has become. We lost this soul.

“F YOUR CONSIDERATION”

[Movie Moments Analyst @Movies_analyst]

During early read throughs of Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994), Jim Carrey felt the dialogue lacked energy, so he added a voice and the catchphrase “All righty then” from his stand up routine, a change that worked so well it became Ace Ventura’s defining personality trait.
