This fall, she’ll travel to Berlin to shoot a “Hunger Games” prequel, “Sunrise on the Reaping,” playing the malevolent Drusilla Sickle, and then to London for “An Elderly Lady Is Up to No Good,” a limited series based on the Swedish author Helene Tursten’s stories about a woman who ends up killing those who annoy her.After that, she’ll return her attention, as ever, to &l

ColorTheHours048 said: "The fact that Ken Davenport would rather feed a bunch of reviews and audience reactions into an AI model to vomit out a streamlined “top 5 takeaways” response, than actually engage in-depth with how audiences and criticsreacted, says everything you need to know about Ken Davenport as a producer."

It's not even like he had to aggregate thousands or even hundreds of reviews to find commonalities. According to the video, there wer

Synecdoche2 said: "Just in Time wasbudgeted at $11.5 million. I don't know if they went over budget, but if not, it's insane that Death Becomes Her cost three times as much given that both shows look slick and professional. Perhaps it's not just a matter of rising costs, but of irresponsible usage of funds. Are out-of-town tryouts worth the millions of added expenseif you're only going to change a line or two of dialogue and a few costumes?

That seems to be the case these days. I'm glad there are less musicals this season, last season was overstuffed and mostly doomed to fall. Still bizarre they brought Smash to Broadway 12 years too late and thought it was going to be huge. Wild.

They could just close down the theatres and open up other kinds of businesses who will pay full rent if needed? (It would be scandalous though if the rent was above market rate and being held up by monopolistic price fixing etc).

In any business, payroll is going to be your biggest expense, but rent is almost always the second biggest. 33 of the 41 Broadway Theaters are owned by 3 companies (The Shuberts, the Nederlanders, and ATG). It's foolish to think there is

I encourage everyone to watch the film All Is Lost. One of the most physical and powerful performances I've ever seen an actor of Robert Redford's age take on.

It would have been enough for Robert Redford to give us all the brilliant movies he directed and acted in. But the legitimacy and institutional support he gave indie filmmakers through the Sundance Institute made the film industry what it is today. The reason we live in a world where a movie like A

While it’s true that he never meets him in the novel or the movie, it’s not surprising that they’d want to visually reference him in an updated version of the musical. Can’t get a more explicit indictment of Patrick’s character than his worship of our Forever Clown King."

It was shockingly prescient how much Trump is mentioned in the book. I know that in the 80s, Trump
