Doing my own thing....since 1987 !! Dabbling stealthily in the business of Entertainment 🎬



Big change for Oscars: International movies can now be submitted if they win a major film festival, even if their home country doesn’t submit. Will prevent great films from being snubbed for political reasons and make the Intl category even more competitive.

Anurag Kashyap had spoken once about how Sairat and its success had ruined Marathi Cinema, for everyone tried to make the next 100 crore project post its hit tag vs something they creatively were passionate about. It begs the question, does a financial blockbuster beyond the confines of the state in the long term adversely impact the health of the industry? Telugu Cinema after Baahubali. Kannada Cinema after KGF. Hindi Cinema after Dhurandhar now. Yash's Toxic is severely delayed. 4 years having been spent on 1 project. Prabhas has consistent pressure to deliver pan indian spectacles. He wanted to do a small film for a change (RajaSaab) & that also ballooned to become a high budget film. Ranveer Singh has this unsaid pressure to ensure the next project is something EVERYONE is hyped for! Isn't it necessary for stars to still be creatively free to take risks. I only see Mammootty being free, co producing his own movies and taking wild swings. Maybe that is the way? One for the audience. One for my creativity. It's easier said than done....


My brother was texting a girl, but she was on punishment with no phone. So he made a Google Doc, and they've been chatting by editing it. Never say you can't talk to someone


CNN exposes a global “online rape academy” that teaches men how to drug and rape women without detection. Over 62 million men attended in February alone. cnn.com/interactive/20…

Meet Soniya Singh Khatri - An Instagram influencer with around 3 million followers, also known as "Fit Girl". -She posts bikini and other explicit photos. -Berojgar boys pay ₹390 per month to view her content. -Around 11,000 Boy's watch her content. -She earns approximately ₹40 lakh per month & around ₹1.5 lakh per day. -Many hard working people work 12 hours a day & still struggle to earn only ₹30,000 per month. Why are so many female influencers creating this kind of content, can it really be called women empowerment, and is it right to risk your privacy and dignity just for easy money?

A24 spends 1x and returns 3-5x. Every single time. Marty Supreme cost $70 million and grossed $147 million worldwide. Civil War cost $50 million and grossed $127 million. Everything Everywhere cost $25 million and grossed $142 million. The Drama cost $28 million, pre-sold its foreign rights before a single ticket was sold, and just put up $6.4M on opening day. Third biggest opening day in A24 history. That $6.4M sounds modest until you look at what else opened this weekend. Super Mario Galaxy is doing $188 million in five days. The Drama doesn't care. It doesn't need to win the weekend. It needs to clear roughly $70 million worldwide to break even. Last summer, Materialists ran the same playbook. Star-driven A24 romance, pre-sold foreign, $28M-range budget. Opened to $11.3 million. Legged out to $108 million worldwide. The Drama is opening higher with stronger previews. Every other studio spends $200-300 million on IP sequels and prays for $500M+ returns. A24 makes R-rated originals for $25-50 million. The downside on an A24 miss is $25 million. The downside on a studio tentpole miss is $200 million. The risk-adjusted math isn't even comparable. Zendaya and Pattinson in an R-rated dark comedy from the Dream Scenario director, produced by the Hereditary guy, opening at #3 behind a $180M animated juggernaut. Wall Street would call that a miss. A24's accountants are already counting profit.

The official trailer for Martin McDonagh’s ‘WILD HORSE NINE’ has been released. Starring John Malkovich, Sam Rockwell, Steve Buscemi, Mariana di Girólamo, Ailín Salas, Tom Waits and Parker Posey. In theaters this fall.

Getting ready for Dhurandhar2 💥💥💥

Will get hate for this but…. Michael B Jordan over Timothee & Leo is wild! WILD I love him & the film but cmon! Those are objectively just extremely superior performances

TO EVERYONE BORN ON 1985-1998 WITH NO KIDS.... HOW'S YOUR CAT/DOG DOING?
