As Empire celebrates 40 years of the sci-fi classic Aliens, we take a look at why Sigourney Weaver’s performance was so revolutionary, paving the way for action roles for years to come.
May the 4th be with you ✨
Proof that even in full armor…
I’m still just out here making ridiculous faces and trying to get Grogu to like me.
Saving the galaxy is serious.
Me? …less so.

Some people use the Force… 🤨 I prefer a well-timed toast and a five-year mission. 🥂
May the Fourth be with you… if you must but let’s be honest; I’ve been boldly going since before it was cool. ��🚀
The score to my film Wrong Reasons is now available on CD, signed by Producer @ThatKevinSmith no less!

Hey @Lionsgate we could be in Production on my Leprechaun reboot Lep Goes To The Old West, but it appears you have misplaced my number. Just saying. (For almost two decades now.)
#ViolaDavis on the legacy of her “Widows” co-star Robert Duvall after his death:
“I’ve always been in awe of your towering portrayals of men who were both quiet and dominating in their humanness. You were a giant… an icon… ‘Apocalypse Now,’ ‘The Godfather,’ ‘To Kill a Mockingbird,’ ‘Tender Mercies,’ ‘The Apostle,’ ‘Lonesome Dove’… etc… Greatness never dies. It stays… as a gift. Rest well, sir. Your name will be spoken… May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.”

Adam Sandler on Robert Duvall's death:
"Funny as hell. Strong as hell. One of the greatest actors we ever had. Such a great man to talk to and laugh with. Loved him so much. We all did. So many movies to choose from that were legendary. Watch them when you can. Sending his wife Luciana and all his family and friends our condolences."

I am gutted. Robert Duvall I will miss you brother.
I took this photo of Bobby on his back porch after a lovely meal prepared by his wife Luciana at their ranch in Virginia. That whole day is engraved in my memory.
Luciana cooked the beef Argentina style and we sat for hours talking. We talked about the film we made with Billy Bob Thornton, Jayne Mansfield’s Car. Bobby called Billy Bob “the redneck Orson Welles” and he meant it lovingly.
We talked horses, dogs, Clemson football, dancing the tango and Marlon Brando. At one point he told me to go find the letter Marlon had sent him after they worked together on The Godfather. It was typed and perfectly composed. Bobby was more proud of that letter than his Oscar. Marlon was the actor he looked up to.
I had ridden across country to attend Rolling Thunder with New York Myke and I so enjoyed being with Bobby. He was the actor I looked up to. His ability to find the truth of a scene was something special.
Over the years I would call Bobby and we’d talk movies and barbecue. He loved barbecue and I’d always let him know when I was having it in Lockhart, Texas. Smitty’s or Kreuz or Blacks… which one was best.
I will miss Bobby. I will always be proud that I got to play his son. Rest in peace brother.
Vince Gilligan says he's in no hurry to get going on Season 2 of PLURIBUS. Understood, but hey, Vince, if you're listening: I'm not getting any younger.
#RIPRobReiner Our careers and lives intersected often over the decades from Rob writing the pilot script for Happy Days and then as we each shifted from acting careers into directing and producing. He proved to be a superlative filmmaker, a supportive colleague and at all times a dedicated citizen. Rob will be missed on so many levels. My heart goes out to his family and his many close friends.
