Clooney says he's no longer a leading man ("I would rather see Chris Abbott kissing the girl than me"), is content to do small parts, produce/direct & be a humanitarian: "I would say probably 50 percent of my time is spent chasing warlords and their money" https://t.co/97JzJI7BEs

Alphabet Has A New Video Star: “I’ve become a devout follower of the prophet Muhammad. Suffice to say, I’ve been having a —- ton of fun. Of course, I get —– by my 40-year-old husband… but at least I get to go to San Fran and stone the — out of some gays and the cops can’t do anything about it because California is a crypto-caliphate.”
I see a lot of ”Fact vs fiction” articles regarding @TolkienMovie and they often focus on the negative. Here’s a good article that looks at it from a more neutral perspective. For those who are more fact based in their film watching style. #tolkien https://t.co/dcawOofdfL

Alvin Sargent’s talent was matched only by his gentleness and generosity. A while back, I needed a wedding toast for the center of a movie so I asked him. He demurred saying he was on the doorstep of 90 and couldn’t write anymore. At 5AM the next morning he sent me this: pic.twitter.com/U9S2Q8KYmO

I don't know if this is the best scene Alvin Sargent ever wrote (there are so many good ones) but it's the one that sticks with me the most. It's so perfectly constructed. https://t.co/JY62cPJZWL

“Saudi-Hollywood deals came fast and furious: AMC, Vue and iPic were to open cinemas in the kingdom, and the Saudi sovereign wealth fund was investing $400 million in Endeavor. Outrage over the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi appeared to spark a slowdown… but also brought Hollywood’s relationship into the spotlight. Endeavor said it would give back the $400 million; would there now be a moral duty for the industry to reconsider doing business with the kingdom?”
