When Carrie Fisher was alive she barely got credit for the scripts she wrote, now she's dead she's being blamed for the scripts she had nothing to do with? Unbelievable.
Waking up to friends in the film industry telling me they are deleting their pro-Palestine posts because of a new Blacklist going round here and across the pond.
McCarthyism is back.
When I interviewed Keanu Reeves we talked about his fight with Cecep Arif Rahman and Yaya Ruhian in John Wick 3. He was knocked down so much by them in rehearsals, and pulled up off the floor, they included that moment in the film + Keanu refused to let them be killed by John.
Jason Statham negotiated a deal limiting how badly he can be beaten up. Vin Diesel has his sister police the # of punches he gets. Dwayne Johnson enlists producers to balance his wins & losses.

Hey ladies, how many times have you faked having a boyfriend, or said you'd "met someone else" to stop a guy trying it on or harassing you?
My money is on an 18-year-old Natalie Portman doing this to a 33-year-old Moby.
Hasan Minhaj loses the daily show gig due to an inaccurate hit piece that mostly confirmed that he, like EVERY comedian, embellished stories for his stand-up.
Sarah Silverman posted her support for the collective punishment of Gazans and gets to host.
Islamophobia is reality.
Adele losing weight doesn't mean that she wasn't beautiful at any size and complimenting her appearance now doesn't take away from that fact! Her body, her choice for how it looks. You do you, girl! Happy birthday, May sister 🥳 💃
Between this, the Ruby Rose allegations, and the IATSE strikes, Hollywood execs needs to be making some major work and safety changes to protect its crews. This is horrendous and should not be happening.
I'm totally for a Black Superman but the timing of this, after Geoff Johns allegedly said Superman couldn't have a Black grandfather and Ray Fisher shared his experience on Whedon's Justice League, all seems a bit sus.
Insiders say Warners and DC are committed to hiring a Black director to tackle what will be the first cinematic incarnation of a Black Superman. Directors Barry Jenkins, Steven Caple Jr., J.D. Dillard, Regina King and Shaka King are all possibilities
Arab and Muslim filmmakers who already struggle to find work because of systemic racism and islamophobia, can't even show solidarity in case of further repercussions.
Think about that.
Seeing Carrie-Anne Moss's whole 54-year-old self back as Trinity, and not replaced with a younger actress, shouldn't be a big deal but it fucking is and I love Lana for it.

Said Rachel Weisz was the most beautiful woman in the world and my dad said she "wasn't even the most beautiful woman in Black Widow" and now my dad is dead and I'm on the run.
I am so upset about this. I have always rooted for Noel Clarke, for what he stood for and what he contributed. I am so disappointed. Love to the women who shared their truth.

He was like I can't kill these amazing fighters as they are so much better than me and that is why we Stan Keanu Reeves.

So we are celebrating an emerging male actor for doing the job he was hired to do? We get it, you love him and he is great but this one is for bare minimum Twitter.

Your friendly reminder that Dune was inspired by the Middle Eastern oil crisis of the 1960s and borrowed heavily from Arab, North African and Islamic culture but the new film, despite being shot in the United Arab Emirates, does not have a MENA actor in its main cast.
If you have a problem with Meghan Markle guest editing Vogue but not Harry editing The Today programme or Kate Middleton guest editing Huff Post sorry to inform you but
Jonathan Glazer keeping his mouth shut on Gaza all awards season so he could win his Oscar and then deliver a damning indictment against the Israeli Occupation on the biggest awards season stage in the West?
Well played, sir.
Not Disney throwing around "callous" when they stopped paying 100,000 workers due to the pandemic, laid off 32,000 employees, but ensured executive bonuses were protected?!
Disney gives a "no merit whatsoever" response to Johansson's pay lawsuit and calls it "sad and distressing in its callous disregard for the horrific and prolonged global effects of the COVID-19 pandemic."
People are saying what's up with his accent. You mean his natural Northern accent? Not everyone from England sounds like The Crown or Top Boy! This Northerner loves to hear it!

Seeing a lot of male critics asking who is Cruella for?
It's not a perfect movie by any means but IMO it's the first live-action remake not intended for children but young adults and women and people who love fashion and fashion history too.
So maybe not you?

I think this documentary is going to break a lot of people's hearts. We all love Michael Jackson, and don't want it to be true, but we can't be picking and choosing which victims' stories to believe or not just because the accused is an icon.
Here's what we know so far about Wade Robson and James Safechuck's allegations against Michael Jackson, set to be explored further in today's premiere of

Love you, Jane. Know this wasn't said in bad faith and there's a point in there but I once again urge white women to look past their own oppression and understand the intersectional experiences for women of colour. Also maybe watch King Richard.

My grandmother is 80 and she would never suggest my attractiveness was to blame for me being sexually assaulted. "Old fashioned" is no longer an excuse for archaic and harmful comments.

@ThisisDavina
Why do you feel the need to centre men's feelings in the nationwide mourning of yet another female victim of male violence? Is this internalised misogyny or just ignorance? Read the room and look at some stats on femicide before posting tone-deaf and inaccurate statements.
