If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

A national bond that transcends race, religion, politics and class is our shared agreement that the Muppets are real. They are real people with jobs and lives. Listen to that crowd screaming. They know they're seeing a celebrity.

If you’ve never seen THE HARDER THEY COME, it’s a low budget folk hero story starring Jimmy Cliff, and it’s authentic and charming and scrappy. Then in the middle of the movie, Cliff’s character walks into a recording studio and just lays down an all-timer on camera. youtu.be/FHAbj1pIT4g?...

We’re crushed to hear the news that the great Udo Kier has passed at the age of 81. As iconic as he was prolific, Kier’s contributions to the genre span nearly 300 screen credits, from BLOOD FOR DRACULA to BACURAU and beyond. Our condolences go out to his friends, family and legions of fans.
