I don’t care what people otherwise say. @Eminem is and always has been great. He’s particularly consistent with album openings, specifically for me Bad Guy and Ringer. The tone change is perfect. Also “I'm swimmin' in that Egyptian river, 'cause I'm in denial”. So good.

I just want people to stop killing peoples. Let them die of natural causes… or Darwinism

What is the best movie monologue you've ever seen?

This is a beautiful letter from Fiona Apple explaining to her fans why she must postpone a concert date. I am impressed at the way she was instantly able to make the decision to choose love over her career. Indeed, the world needs more of this. Enjoy the story... “It's 6pm on Friday, and I'm writing to a few thousand friends I have not met yet. I'm writing to ask them to change our plans and meet a little while later. Here's the thing. I have a dog, Janet, and she's been ill for about 2 years now, as a tumor has been idling in her chest, growing ever so slowly. She's almost 14 years old now. I got her when she was 4 months old. I was 21 then — an adult, officially — and she was my kid. She is a pitbull, and was found in Echo Park, with a rope around her neck, and bites all over her ears and face. She was the one the dogfighters use to puff up the confidence of the contenders. She's almost 14 and I've never seen her start a fight, or bite, or even growl, so I can understand why they chose her for that awful role. She's a pacifist. Janet has been the most consistent relationship of my adult life, and that is just a fact. We've lived in numerous houses, and joined a few makeshift families, but it's always really been just the two of us. She slept in bed with me, her head on the pillow, and she accepted my hysterical, tearful face into her chest, with her paws around me, every time I was heartbroken, or spirit-broken, or just lost, and as years went by, she let me take the role of her child, as I fell asleep, with her chin resting above my head. She was under the piano when I wrote songs, barked any time I tried to record anything, and she was in the studio with me, all the time we recorded the last album. The last time I came back from tour, she was spry as ever, and she's used to me being gone for a few weeks, every 6 or 7 years. She has Addison's Disease, which makes it more dangerous for her to travel, since she needs regular injections of Cortisol, because she reacts to stress and excitement without the physiological tools which keep most of us from literally panicking to death. Despite all this, she's effortlessly joyful & playful, and only stopped acting like a puppy about 3 years ago. She is my best friend, and my mother, and my daughter, my benefactor, and she's the one who taught me what love is. I can't come to South America. Not now. When I got back from the last leg of the US tour, there was a big, big difference. She doesn't even want to go for walks anymore. I know that she's not sad about aging or dying. Animals have a survival instinct, but a sense of mortality and vanity, they do not. That's why they are so much more present than people. But I know she is coming close to the time where she will stop being a dog, and start instead to be part of everything. She'll be in the wind, and in the soil, and the snow, and in me, wherever I go. I just can't leave her now, please understand. If I go away again, I'm afraid she'll die and I won't have the honor of singing her to sleep, of escorting her out. Sometimes it takes me 20 minutes just to decide what socks to wear to bed. But this decision is instant. These are the choices we make, which define us. I will not be the woman who puts her career ahead of love & friendship. I am the woman who stays home, baking Tilapia for my dearest, oldest friend. And helps her be comfortable and comforted and safe and important. I need to do my damnedest, to be there for that. Because it will be the most beautiful, the most intense, the most enriching experience of life I've ever known. When she dies. So I am staying home, and I am listening to her snore and wheeze, and I am revelling in the swampiest, most awful breath that ever emanated from an angel. And I'm asking for your blessing. I'll be seeing you. Love, Fiona”

@ATRightMovies Nothing will top the atmosphere of this moment for the first time in a while. That and the matrix hallway scene.

What's the greatest experience you've ever had in a cinema?

I don’t think there is super hero fatigue. I think there is fatigue from audiences being given the lesser known characters thinking they’re making the next Iron Man. Shang-Chi and James Gunn’s Suicide Squad are the only ones for me that came even close to greatness

🔥🔥🔥 Eminem destroys MAGA supporters and asks what in the hell middle-class white people have in common with a billionaire who never had to struggle. Eminem is SPOT on!

Sharing this again as it's just too funny. A group of wives bought their partners the same shirts to wear for meal out

Before he was a Hollywood actor, KEANU REEVES worked for CBC and did a news report on a Teddy Bear convention in 1984.

Can we just do drone firework shows this year? They’re way cooler and dont give every dog in the city PTSD

now, uhh, let me be clear, you, uhh, you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack

Most people I hear enjoy working from home. How come 430-5pm traffic still feels the same then?

When you’re rewatching The OC and you’re suddenly conflicted by how much you love @JeriLRyan as 7 of 9 yet completely hate her as the manipulative and despicable Charlotte Morgan… … nah she’s still awesome.

@SuckerPunchProd I am in tears of joy, amazement, sadness, and awe. Just finished #GhostOfTsushima and what a ride! Thank you for this.
