Unless you’re an Actor given lines I cannot think of a reason a white person would ever say the n-word

My Plug-in Prius Prime is now getting 69.8 mpg with only
a 26-mile range on the charge.

Plus the 2-hour charge only costs $1.25!

Plus more EVs & more Plug-in EVs means a greater reduction in air pollution!

Charging into the future for a better world for our children & grandchildren!

Most of the remaining independent theaters were, in the 70s and 80s, adult theaters. LA's New Beverly is embracing that history by committing its entire February to showing the classics, from Emmanuelle and Inga to Flesh Gordon.

Amazing.

Understand How to Market Yourself the Right Way for Your Film Self marketing is promoting the hard work you put in daily towards your achievements.

If you want people to cheer for your premiere…

🍿 Let them watch the rehearsal.
😫 Let them feel the struggle.
πŸ’ͺ Let them see the grind.

Then, when you win, they’ll feel like they did too. πŸ‘‡

Tony,

Great news on the producer downloading your script!

In the meantime ...

I've commissioned Inspector Clouseau to come to your hospital to find the source of your infection to help get you the hell out of there!

All the best from the West!

So many modern stories are still about men who aren’t around enough for their families

I really wish we’d moved on to other more interesting things by now

Guys, evolve please

Yes, indeed, Tom Stoppard should be on the Mt. Rushmore
of Writers!

In Ed Zwick's most enlightening book, "Hits, Flops and Other Illusions," he shared that Tom Stoppard received $1 million for the screenplay for SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE.

Well worth every sixpence!

Not completely forgotten; always remembered here.

Diane Thomas was a struggling waitress when she pitched ROMANCING THE STONE to Michael Douglas who bought it for $250,000.

6 years later, she & her boyfriend were speeding down PCH & she tragically died at 39.

Brilliant writer gone too early.

It's a combination error.

This is the 3rd or 4th time this year Freeman has been
thrown out at home!

And the 3rd base coach has waved other guys home when he never should have, not knowing the "arms" of the outfielders.

He did this when he was the 3rd base coach with the Angels too!
