So my one question about this RUSH HOUR 4 story (aside from WHY?!?!) is what happened to New Line? How is this a Paramount movie? I mean, I get that Ellison is bootlicking Trump, but did he buy the rights already?

Niche post for critics and movie-awards-season nerds: Don't sleep on The Plague, a superb, excruciatingly tense American debut film--not horror, but in its way terrifying--about being a 12- or 13-year-old boy among other 12- or 13-year-old boys. Opens next month; it's haunted me since I saw it.

I'm not being flippant or mean when I say this, but how does anyone believe that either of these two people are smart and worth listening to? This conversation makes my skin crawl. Elon Musk is a barely coherent doorknob and Rogan seems like the most gullible child on Earth.

For graphic novels, especially adult genre fiction, it's incredibly helpful to review it online, talk about it, recommend it to a friend—adult fiction in the graphic novel space is difficult to place, and nothing convinces readers that they'll like a book more than the personal testimonial.
If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....

Mark Kelly is a genuine American hero, as is his wife, and it should be completely clear to anyone who actually gives a shit about this country that Trump's attacks on him are fucking crazy. Anyone picking sides against him is wrong. Period.

The only comic character RFK resembles is a Chester Gould DICK TRACY villain. He looks exactly how he sounds, which ain't great. This is a deranged description of him.

Udo Kier was a delight to work with, and he loved telling shocking stories to see how you'd react. When he filmed "that moment" in CIGARETTE BURNS, there was a lot of laughter on set because he was enjoying himself too much. Dude was a straight-up icon. Those eyes. Those eyes. #RIP and much love.
