In the 21st century, the @filmfare Best Actress Award went to romances to dramas and to thrillers among other genres. On @bollywooddrafts I welcomed @erinefraser @kathyfgibson @MapleBrownie and @theshahshahid to rank the top 13!

no offense to sexless generation, but i find penn badgley's antisex comments really creepy and unprofessional. it's his choice not to do sex scenes but tying it to infidelity and not crossing boundaries with his wife is offputting

Joel Schumacher put Nicole Kidman and Uma Thurman in Batman movies; his contribution to queer cinema is significant especially because he didn’t make “gay movies” he put queerness into different genres through aesthetic and atmosphere.

people who tweet about sex shoved in their faces by an increasingly sexless hollywood can take it as a W but just think about it further and the implications are unsettling.

Calling a movie all style no substance reveals a lack of engagement with style as a meaningful element of filmmaking. Style is substance and to think otherwise seems a bit jejune to me.
