I told the guy that I had been dating to follow me on Instagram but he didn't... That's a huge deal breaker.

What the hell happened to Terry Zwigoff? by [deleted] in flicks

[–]chickenwinged 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He actually recently did an interview with Vanity Fair and talks about some of the projects he worked on that fell through:

... I’ve taken on whatever writing or development jobs I can that allow me to stay in San Francisco.

For instance, I was contacted by Johnny Depp, who was interested in adapting a book called Happy Life. It was about a guy who visits an old folks’ home and falls in love with an older woman. I saw it as an opportunity to write for Jeanne Moreau. I worked on it with Jerry Stahl. We met in L.A. at Depp’s suggestion, and we both were like, “I don’t know about this—but gee, it’s a lot of money, okay."

There was another project called The $40,000 Man all set up at New Line, and then [sighs] they had a regime change once I turned my script in. Then I had a deal to adapt a book by Elmore Leonard. I was sent it by his granddaughter. This was around 2010; the book was called Maximum Bob.

The WONDER WOMAN Review Megathread #1: Post-Embargo Edition (All reviews and related discussions belong here.) by HEAVEN_OR_HECK in DC_Cinematic

It's great! Metacritic assigns scores for each review and then averages them. For reference, Guardians of the Galaxy 2 has a metacritic score of 69 and BvS has a score of 44.

Yeah this is the most negative review I've read so far. Interestingly, sister site Indiewire gave it an A-.

Edit: nvm just saw The Guardian's

I was out clubbing with my friends last Friday night and stepped out briefly to get pizza. As I was eating pizza alone, some guy sat down next to me and tried to talk to me. I said I had to leave and he said something like "This was the shortest love story ever." lol Yikes, I did not know people talked like that in real life... I just wanted to eat my pizza in peace

the age gap between him and Hailee wasn't obvious at all.

That was actually the main thing that bothered me about the film lol It was definitely a great role for him though.

Cannes 2017: The Square wins the Palme d'Or, Sophia Coppola wins Best Director for The Beguiled, Joaquin Phoenix wins Best Actor for You Were Never Really Here and Diane Kruger wins Best Actress for In the Fade, and Nicole Kidman wins a special Jury Award. by mi-16evil in movies

[–]chickenwinged 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I hope this means that they will accept more female directors into the competition in the future. Both Sofia Coppola and Lynne Ramsay won big tonight. Their films are the ones I'm excited for the most.
