“Pass on what you have learned. Strength. Mastery. But weakness, folly, failure also. Yes, failure most of all. The greatest teacher, failure is. We are what they grow beyond. That is the true burden of all masters.”
Art is an always will be inherently political. You may not be making the policies, but being an artist is one of the most political jobs that you can take on. Apolitical art is boring art.
Cosmopolitan asks Sydney Sweeney if she ever intends to publicly state her political beliefs:
“No. I’m not a political person. I’m in the arts. I’m not here to speak on politics. That’s not an area I’ve ever even imagined getting into. It’s not why I became who I am. I became an actor because I like to tell stories, but I don’t believe in hate in any form. I believe we should all love each other and have respect and understanding for one another.”

Saw Wake Up Dead Man in theaters today and what a fantastic movie. However one thing really bugged me. Somehow Samson the groundkeeper is able to get Marquee Sports Network on cable on his dinky tv in Upstate New York?!? DID BENOIT BLANC ALSO SOLVE THE SPORTS MARKET BLACKOUTS?!?
at a time when we’re more isolated from each other than ever, the theatrical experience has never been more important. they may not be perfect, but theaters are some of the few places left that bring people of all walks of life together to escape whatever we endure in the day-to-day and allow us to laugh as one, cry as one, feel as one, and belong to something bigger than ourselves. even if you’re there alone, you’re never truly alone.
theaters are an essential cornerstone of every community, and i shudder to think of a future without them - one where the sadness and division that already corrupts our culture has increased tenfold and further eroded our empathy. the erasure of the theatrical experience isn’t just anti-art, it’s anti-humanity.
Thinking about the scene in Sentimental Value where Stellan Skarsgård is doing press for his movie that’s being produced by Netflix and the interviewer asks “Will there be a theatrical release?” and he goes “yeah what other way would you watch it”
Netflix has won the bidding war to purchase Warner Bros. Discovery.
They are now entering exclusive deal talks, with Netflix offering $30 a share and a $5 billion break-up fee.
The sale is not yet finalized, as the U.S. Department of Justice could also interfere due to anti-trust concerns.

@itchyhaybitchy They called him to tell him that he got the role and he said “yeah right, thanks” rolled his eyes and hung up because he thought it was a prank
Welp it’s a loooooooong and cold and depressing Cubs offseason. Until next year when I fall in love with this team again in April and get utterly crushed in the end. At least heartbreak came in October this year instead of September. Time to start pushing narratives. Schwarbombs.
