Martin Scorsese says maybe there is still some gas left in him to do one more film with Daniel Day-Lewis.
“We did 2 films together and it’s one of the greatest experiences of my life… maybe there’s time for one more.”
American History X screenwriter David McKenna shares advice to actors on pushing their politics:
"Please actors, tone it down. Please be quiet. Let's start building back the relationship that's been dismantled over the last seven, eight years."
Is this good advice? Do you think anyone will follow it?
Star Wars editor Marcia Lucas reacts to The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi:
"Now that she's running Lucasfilm and making movies, it seem to me that Kathy Kennedy and J.J. Abrams don't have a clue about Star Wars. They don't get it. And J.J. Abrams is writing these stories— when I saw that movie where they kill Han Solo, I was furious. I was furious they killed Han Solo. Absolutely, positively there was no rhyme or reason to it. I thought, You don't get the Jedi story. You don't get the magic of Star Wars. You're getting rid of Han Solo?
And then at the end of this last one, The Last Jedi, they have Luke disintegrate. They killed Han Solo. They killed Luke Skywalker. And they don't have Princess Leia anymore. And they're spitting out movies every year. And they think it's important to appeal to a woman's audience, so now their main character is this female, who's supposed to have Jedi powers, but we don't know how she got Jedi powers, or who she is. It sucks. The storylines are terrible. Just terrible. Awful."
What was the biggest crime that Kathleen Kennedy, J.J. Abrams, and Rian Johnson committed?
@comicsand_ It's interesting defenders of this try to use it's based after the 'Women of Tomorrow' story. After reading it, I never got the sense she hated being a superhero. Yes she was dealing with trauma and pressure being Superman's cousin. But you could tell there was a deep compassion
@Variety Victim mentality already started. Making it about gender when the true narrative is whether not people will enjoy this iteration of the character. The irony is the female audience she speaks of will mostly only show up because Jason Momoa is in it.
Brock Lesnar finally speaks about his fans. ❤️😂
“I appreciate all the fans who have followed me over the years. People are good maybe it’s just one out of a million, but they understand.
“I’m just grateful for the people who have supported me all this time.”

In case you're not getting it yet:
Hollywood is systematically removing both the SUPER and the HERO from the superhero genre.
The subtitle of the next Spider-Man movie, “Brand New Day,” is code for “we’re no longer making real superhero movies the way you like.”
Superman (James Gunn's version): a conflicted, alienated immigrant struggling with identity politics.
Peacemaker: a crude, broken man-child whose "heroism" is mostly drugs, orgies, and daddy issues.
Hollywood is systematically removing both the SUPER and the HERO from the superhero genre.
Wonder Man: Simon Williams, once the WHITE son of a rich industrialist, now a Haitian-American actor dealing with family trauma and cultural identity crises.
Black Captain America: super-empowered to save the country but still crying about racial inequality.
Ironheart: Riri Williams is a genius inventor but still has to steal and is burdened by ILLUSIONS of systemic racism and personal grief.
Daredevil: now a depressed, guilt-ridden lawyer whose arc drowns in moral ambiguity, depression, while being overshadowed by diverse sidekicks lecturing him on privilege and anger.
Lanterns — Hal Jordan and John Stewart reduced to substitute teachers and grunt cops investigating a murder in the American heartland, while a female detective disrespects them and the black Lantern lectures the white one on doing the job better.
And now comes FAILED Spider-man: bungling, constantly falling and crashing into things, getting hit by a van…the list goes on.
These aren’t the heroes we want to see.
They’re "humanized" (read: weakened) versions designed to make today's modern (read: lowbrow) audience feel better about themselves.
The men are sad, angry, depressed, unfulfilled, incompetent, or outright toxic.
The women are corrupt, masculine, infallible girlbosses who outfight, outthink, and out-lead every man in the room.
They no longer live in their own specialized, larger-than-life worlds where they thrive as gods among mortals.
They live in OUR angry, gritty, mundane world where they FAIL, struggle, and get knocked down to our level.
No more soaring capes, no more unapologetic power, no more aspirational icons.
Just unrelatable losers with OCCASIONAL super-powers who mirror our own mediocrity and resentment.
Hollywood isn't dying.
It's killing itself.
