Tom Cruise talks a lot about his love of cinema but he never goes into specifics. Like what movies was he sneaking into when he was a little kid? He never goes into any real detail about his history of loving cinema. Like a politician when there’s no need to be a politician about it

Labour’s watching the news and seeing what’s going on in US cities with ICE and border patrol and the national guard and saying, we want to bring that to Britain. Unreal.
Did nobody read those books? Yes, he’s a roaring wingnut, his take on everything from patriotism to grooming gangs is full metal Telegraph crackpot and he has been very open about this, as have a lot of MPs who agree with him. They’re just reactionary swine! It’s not much more complex than that.

Why isn’t it the top priority of the Democrats to find out if the president of the United States is a depraved predator with a history of sexually assaulting minors?
Margaret Brennan to Tom Suozzi: "Can you explain the focus this past week in the House by Democrats on the Jeffrey Epstein files? Is this a tactic to distract from the failure to extract healthcare changes?"

So did Brett Ratner get the Melania doc job as a reward for being part of the Epstein clique? Another example of Trump looking after his own? Getting Ratner out of director’s jail?
It would seem Jeffrey Epstein was moonlighting as a consultant to men held accountable by MeToo, offering advice to Brett Ratner and Woody Allen. "With all these guys getting busted for harassment, i have moved slightly up the reputation ladder and have been asked everyday for advice"

Quentin Tarantino said all movies are exploitation movies. If you’ve got nudity, you exploit that. If you’ve got Paul Newman, you exploit that. Seems like the studios have forgotten this. Why not market Die My Love as a psychosexual thriller featuring the stars from Hunger Games and Twilight?

One unacknowledged story of this fall's awful box office might be that every star seems to have decided to do their "This one's for me" movie at the same time. There is, honestly, no universe or financial environment in which Die My Love--one among many examples--would ever have made real money. >
