New York City helped my mother become the artist she is today. The next generation deserves a City Hall that lifts up tomorrow's artists as well.

I feel like this supposed fourth Rush Hour movie won't happen. Jackie Chan in 71. Chris Tucker is practically retired and is in the Epstein Files. Ratner got Me Too'd some time ago. Roman Polanski is 92.

I would order Johnny Depp to make 4 more Mortdecai movies
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.

Reading this, about how much he’s driven by insatiable, reckless desire, and I kept thinking about my late uncle.
He too was an addict.

The inexplicable sex appeal of RFK Jr.
How can such ferocious desire be attached to this man? Two memoirs by the women who love him offer some clues.

I can't speak for what was said at the protests, but seeing people react to an anodyne statement like "sacred spaces should not be used to promote activities in violation of international law" as if it were a vicious slur is clarifying.
Zohran Mamdani chastised a Manhattan synagogue that hosted an event promoting migration to Israel and settlements in occupied territories. His stance further tested his strained relationship with pro-Israel Jews in New York.

I hopped onto IMDB in the wee hours to peruse his list of credits and it’s truly staggering. I scrolled and scrolled. He never stopped working and made more films in a year than some successful actors make in a lifetime and inspired so many directors, played a muse to many. #Udo
