RIP
Nicholas Tucci (You're Next) has died at 38
Peter Saide, NY theater actor, passeds away at 36 a couple of weeks ago. We were very sad to hear about this at TFE HQ. You may recall we were smitten and interviewed him right here for his wonderful work in Off-Broadway's Desperate Measures. We thought he had such a bright career ahead with a golden voice and matinee idol looks.

The Atlantic Why are all politicians right now so old?
Cinema Blend more details (which have been coming at a steady clip) about the two gay characters in Marvel's Eternals -- we personally don't want to congratulate Marvel just yet as we've seen how pathetic "exclusively gay moments" actually are onscreen after studios try to hype them up prerelease for "credit" only to be revealed as blink and you miss it background stuff. Still furious that that Alien Covenant movie got credit for having gay characters when they were only showed to be gay in online clips that weren't actually within the movie!

Just your daily (sporadic) reminder that Renée Zellweger is a two-time Academy Award winning Actress.
"We personally don't want to congratulate Marvel just yet..." I know what you mean, we're all hoping that it won't be just some cheap stunt.
But can we appreciate Marvel (and Warner/DC) for actually hiring such diverse directors for their tentpole movies? Patty Jenkins. Anna Boden. Ryan Coogler. Chloe Zhao. Cate Shortland. Cathy Yan. We keep lamenting how women aren't given enough directorial opportunities but I haven't seen anyone praise comic book movies for doing just that. So many people are too busy knocking them down, which still baffles me coming from self-confessed fans of cinema. And if you're gonna say something like "But they don't allow these directors to speak their voice!", then that's not being very respectful to the directors themselves, assuming that they're compromising their voice for bucks or the exposure.
Maybe it's off-topic but I felt it had to be said.
Poor Lindsey.
Interesting choice of which link you used for the Woody Biography story.....
The Saide/Tucci news are devastating.
That Allen article is wild! Even if you agree, why link to what essentially amounts to an op-ed?
Very saddened by the Tucci and Saide news.
I'd paid Lindsay $2.50 to fuck off.
