Genuine question: why are studios still casting Jared Leto? @ryanscottwrites.bsky.social crunched the numbers, and it just doesn't make any sense. Subscribe to hear our #boxoffice breakdown of #TronAres: www.patreon.com/posts/box-of...

Jared Leto Is an A-list actor. In light of TRON: ARES bombing, someone must ask a simple question; why?

Aside from the misconduct allegations, Leto has an absolutely atrocious box office track record going back YEARS. His hits far outweigh this misses and the hits are mostly small.

Tron: Ares Proves That Jared Leto Is Box Office Poison - SlashFilm

Tron: Ares is further proof that Jared Leto is not only undeserving of his A-list status, but that he's basically box office poison at this stage in his career.

TRON: ARES is the latest example of a franchise revival not enough people wanted underperforming at the box office. It's perhaps the last blow to Leto's career as a movie star and a disaster in the making for Disney.

Why yes, I did ride a giant dong in a white tuxedo jacket on my wedding night. Thanks for asking.

Was not aware that George Stephanopoulos had an evidently GIANT pair on him. Hell yeah. More of this.

Vance is having an incredible morning on the Sunday shows doing "oh so now it's illegal to [mundane thing]?"

A real quote when Vance is asked about whether Tom Homan kept the $50,000 he got in a fast food bag: "Is it illegal to take a payment for doing services?"

Daniel Day-Lewis came out of retirement to star in his son's feature debut, but the return of one of the greatest actors of all time was a box office flop.

Squeezed in one last workout before flying to Vegas tomorrow. 25 minutes with the ol' boxing bag and a quick 2 mile run. I feel great. I'm f****g ready.

Onward.

Tomorrow I am getting on a plane to go to Las Vegas so that I can get married on Friday. This is impossible for my brain to comprehend.

In July, I had the good fortune of traveling to Poland to see the Nowa Huta district first-hand, which served as the inspiration for CRONOS: THE NEW DAWN.

I got to document my findings for the latest issue of @fangoria.bsky.social, on stands now. I couldn't be happier. Check it out!!!!
