David Lynch Slams Vladimir Putin For Ukrainian Death And Destruction

Following Russia’s February 23 attack, Lynch used his daily “Weather Report” series on YouTube to share harsh words for Russian president Vladimir Putin. Watch Lynch’s full video below. “If I could say something to Mr. President Putin, we are, as human beings, charged as to how we treat our fellow man. And there is a law of nature, a hard and fast law. There’s no loopholes, there’s no escaping it,” Lynch said....

Does Pvod Hurt Box Office For Universal The Answer Appears To Be No

We took Rothman at his word and figured. Specifically, we ran the numbers for Universal, the first major studio to announce a consistent policy on theatrical windows and home availability. We looked at its 2021 releases, along with the studio’s 10 top-performing wide releases in 2019, both through their sixth weekends. Here’s what we learned: The results suggest that early PVOD had little impact on Universal’s theatrical grosses. The studio premiered seven wide releases to date this year: “Nobody,” “The Forever Purge,” and “Spirit Untamed” went PVOD after three weeks’ play....

Don T Worry Darling Movie Review Olivia Wilde S Broken Dollhouse

It also would be incorrect, because everything actually is what it seems in Victory. “Don’t Worry Darling” is so clearly, so obviously not set in an idyllic ’50s community that to say the film packs a twist is not at twist at all. It’s disingenuous, easy, cheeky — much like the film itself, which starts off strong before crumbling into baffling storytelling choices made worse by the revolting intentions behind them....

Edgar Wright Says He S Written Baby Driver 2 Script

Interview Magazine recently sat Wright down with “No Time to Die” director Cary Fukunaga to discuss the Bond film and Wright’s latest thriller, “Last Night in Soho.” Wright said that he has, in fact, written a screenplay for “Baby Driver 2.” “If I did the sequel — and in fact I’ve already written a script I’d have to find a way to make it fun for me. The idea of doing a straight Xerox is just not interesting because, as you know, these films take at least two years and in our cases, because of the pandemic, they took even longer,” he said....

Emma Thompson Intimacy Coordinators Are Important Sean Bean Is Wrong

“I should imagine it slows down the thrust of it. Ha, not the thrust, that’s the wrong word. It would spoil the spontaneity,” Bean said. “I think the natural way lovers behave would be ruined by someone bringing it right down to a technical exercise.” Emma Thompson disagrees. The actress, who recently earned strong reviews for her sex-positive performance in Sophie Hyde’s film “Good Luck to You, Leo Grande,” was asked about Bean’s comments on the Australian radio show “Fitzy & Wippa” this week (via Variety)....

For Mass Oscar Contender Ann Dowd Difficulty Is An Asset

It took 30 years for the veteran New York stage actress to break out in movies with her role as a rule-following manager in Craig Zobel’s Sundance hit “Compliance.” She’s all for the slow burn of her career. “Age is underrated,” Dowd said. “What you get as you grow older, if you’re willing to listen: ‘Let’s keep the focus on the work.’” Now Dowd is back in the film spotlight again for her exemplary work in first-time writer-director Fran Kranz’s Parkland-inspired Sundance four-hander “Mass....
