A very happy 42nd birthday to the queen Eva Green today! I was going to take this opportunity to do what I usually do whenever Eva Green comes up -- complain about her being under-used and under-appreciated, because she is! -- but she does actually have several big projects lined up to come out possibly this year, so let's try to be positive and celebrate those...

Though we didn't earn enough to get to Venice for the festival the donations will help keep the roof over TFE's head. If you donated one of the following amounts we'll be in touch for your requests...
$50 - Choose a topic for an upcoming post
$150 - A long piece on the movie or actor or topic of your choice
$200 - "Supporting Actress Smackdown Special". Pick one movie with multiple supporting actresses in it and we'll do a mini Smackdown debating those performances!
$400 - For you high rollers out there, order up a whole theme week of your own choice. Daily posts on that topic! Could make a fun gift for yourself or someone you love with their favourite movie/star/thematic element/genre whatever. (Unless you give us a date a month in advance we'll pick the week)
If you've already donated those amounts, which a few of you have, email us to make your request!

Tuesday, July 5, 2022 at 3:00PM Today's must read: Megan Garber at The Atlantic has a fascinating piece on sexual dignity and freedom (in current pop culture like Good Luck To You Leo Grande, Grace & Frankie, and Hacks) and the fall of Roe v Wade (in current reality)
More after the jump including BIFA awards changes, Todd Haynes long banned Superstar, Steven Yeun's role in Nope, Jodie Foster's new role, and the Pride cover for British Vogue featuring actresses Cynthia Erivo, Cara Delivingne, and Ariana DeBose...
