There are days when I miss being an editor and I particularly loved writing headlines. Whoever did this, I hope they took the rest of the day off.

30 years of Mission Impossible (1996) and Tom Cruise actually hesitating about a stunt


No one: Me: Remember the short-lived 2009 NBC drama, KINGS — a retelling of David & Goliath but in an alternate reality where the United States is a monarchy and it’s ruled by a king played by Ian McShane but also starred a young Sebastian Stan as his closeted prince son???

Peter Jackson laments the death of physical media: “You can get Blu-rays and DVDs, but they’re almost a niche product for aficionados now,” Jackson said. “Since they only sell small numbers, no studio wants to put extended features on them or to extend the cuts. We did hours and hours of behind-the-scenes material for The Lord of the Rings DVDs, and so many people have thanked me for doing them. People would watch that stuff over and over again because it inspired them to make films. That’s all gone now, and I think it’s a real shame.” Do you still get real books and DVDs?

Miles Teller stopped doing press profiles after Esquire magazine labeled him "kind of a dick." He now says: "It felt like such a violation..." “That was so mishandled. The reason why I have not done profiles is because I said, ‘Wow, if I’m not doing this interview on camera, this person can misquote things or put things out of order or say things that didn’t happen.’ It felt like such a violation of what actually transpired. I told my team, ‘Guys, I don’t think I’m doing this again, because I’m reading this and this doesn’t sound like me to me. This is not life, so why would I ever want to be a part of something where they can just put that in?' So it’s unfortunate that being a good person, that doesn’t sell. People want to click on the negativity. If you go to bed and put your head on your pillow and how you treat people truly, that’s what matters. That [2015] interview was like 12 years ago.” (via IndieWire) variety.com/2026/film/news…
