'just link a prayer, your click can take me there... ðŸŽµ

Guardian has a really fascinating interview with Sean Penn about his novel (yes he wrote one), his ex-wives, his humanitarian work, the Me Too movement and more
AV Club Netflix suggests it's going to back away a bit from its war against the movies... or at least from competing on the awards battlefield. Does this mean they're abandoning their Oscar campaigns? This statement is quite vague.
Boy Culture connects two of my favorite things of all time: Madonna's "Like a Prayer" phase and... Natalie Wood?
Time Can Oceans 8 bring back the glamourous caper?

EW Uma Thurman willing to work with Quentin Tarantino again
W interviews Grace Jone about her fierceness "I pack a good wallop"
Variety YES! A24 is planting the seeds for an Oscar campaign for Toni Collette in the horror film Hereditary
Coming Soon For some reason Monty Python's Spamalot is going to become a movie
Variety Olivia de Havilland talks about being Cannes very first female jury president decades ago
Electric Literature "storytelling" in WestWorld and how literary it actually is
Awards Daily Academy votes to expel Roman Polanski and Bill Cosby
AV Club Steve Martin and Martin Short are actual best friends
i09 beautiful posters for King Kong's Broadway musical debut
Playboy "Hollywood's pansexual moment" - interesting points in this article but I'm really quite annoyed that we've jumped from gay rights to "let not define ourselves and let's explore fluidity" and are acting like homophobia is solved / gays are accepted. There are literally still laws being pushed in the US to discriminate against queer people - even this very week

<-- This Captain Marvel poster going around looked so official I thought it was. Apparently it's actually fan art by a Brazilian illustrator Fabio Rodrigues

Nat: Did people just willingly forget that the MCU Captain Marvel's costume is, until further notice, Teal and Silver, not Red, Navy and Gold? That's an easy tell for "not official."

That's a nice fuckin' poster.

Volvagia -- well apparently i forgot because i was fooled!

May 5, 2018 | Unregistered CommenterNATHANIEL R

Volvagia- It’s not surprising people forgot. Only recently have production photos been seen. The original concept art that was shown had her in the colors normally associated with the character. I’m assuming in the film down the line she gets a costume closer to what’s in that fan art poster.

When will Madonna have that resurgence when everyone will agree on her legacy and contribution to life itself.

That Sean Penn interview is bizarre, interesting, and frustrating. His inability to recognize that he automatically gets special treatment in publishing speaks volumes. As does the author’s decision to cast him as an (umlrimaty admirable) American eccentric. Cue Viola Davis rolling her eyes.

Does anyone not hate Sean Penn?

May 6, 2018 | Unregistered CommenterHuj

Huj: At this point, I think everyone SANE hates Sean Penn. American Lion is delayed with no release in sight, his other TV show, The First, is on Hulu, a network desperate for a second genuine hit after The Handmaid's Tale and the only film he's in, The Professor and the Madman, is as foil to Mel Gibson being crazy and submitting words for the dictionary. That's what you get when you're involved in, in a row: Gangster Squad, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, The Gunman, The Angry Birds Movie, The Last Face and modern Family Guy. A career might be able to weather one or two of those in a row, but all 6? That's DEFINITION career nuking.
