An Oscar-bait biopic of the inventor of boxing, 18th century Sephardic British Jew Daniel Mendoza, starring either Jon Bernthal or Brett Goldstein
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.

The idea that this, of all companies, could take over Warner Brothers is just...horrific and insane. It's like saying, "Hey, I have a great idea--what if the Discovery Channel took over HBO?"
Wait.

Not a joke: Trump just greenlit RUSH HOUR 4. It will be directed by Brett Ratner, a pig of a human being who has been accused of sexual assault by six women. He also harassed Elliot Page and outed him. Disgusting and depressing on so many levels I don't know where to start.
