As I walked down the red carpet, the flashes from different cameras almost blinded me. I was wearing a white coat over a black shirt, black pants, and a black tie with a white checkered pattern on it. The only piece of a different color was my pocket square, which was maroon. Overall, I loved my getup because it was a little unique from what everyone else was wearing. Just as at Cannes, I had received sponsorship from many luxury brands but had settled on Gucci this time. My hair was spiked up perfectly,…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
- Christopher Nolan looked at the man who had made the movie possible, Troy Armitage, who was getting ready for today's shoot. For a brief time, had been as good as scrapped. "If Troy doesn't appear in the sequel, people won't watch the movie," Jonathan Nolan, Christopher's brother and co-writer of the screenplay, had said seriously. "The film made as much money as it did because of the surprise reveal at the end about his identity. And he was the soul of the movie. If he's not coming back, we may as…

Warning: NSFW content (aka smut) ahead. Sean entered the room, carefully and slowly, making sure not to spook us by any sudden movement. “Are you kids ready?” “As ready as I’ll ever be,” I said, my tone bland and devoid of any real enthusiasm. The old cabin didn’t have any air-conditioning, and Sean didn’t have the budget to install it for the production. The summer heat, when combined with nerves, made my body glisten with sweat. And that was when I wore nothing underneath the…- 246.1 K • Ongoing
- (Flashback) “Go on,” Robert Mueller said, leaning forward with a glint of curiosity in his eyes. “I’m suddenly very curious about your foundation.” So I talked. I explained all the ways our charity had helped tens of thousands of lives across the globe, from building shelters to rescuing minors from abusive environments. “The saddest part of all this is that so many people need saving from monsters—and most of the time, those monsters are people they know. A relative. A neighbor. A…

- ~My first love broke my heart for the first time, and I was like Baby, baby, baby, oh Like baby, baby, baby, no Like baby, baby, baby, oh Thought you'd always be mine, mine~ I watched Zoe Kravitz sing with slightly judgmental eyes and raised eyebrows. "Really?" I asked. "You have to sing that one out of all the songs in the world?" Justin Bieber had made his debut with "Baby" only recently, and the song had exploded worldwide. It was one of the biggest debuts any young pop star had…

- I peeked into the dining room a little carefully, hoping to spot a certain someone. Inside, I wasn't sure whether I wanted her to be there or not. I wanted her there because she was a beautiful girl who had just taken my virginity, and I didn't want her there because the whole thing felt a little awkward. Not to mention, I knew she'd want money. Something I hadn't planned properly in the heat of the moment when I called her last night. I walked forward wearing a skin-tight T-shirt and jeans, my hands…

- “I have to tell you something important,” I said somberly as I sat down in front of my girl. Not really. She was thousands of miles away, and we were talking through Skype. Still, it felt like we were sitting across from each other in our living room. It was the thought that mattered. She furrowed her brow at my tone. “Actually, I have to tell you something important, too. I was...forced to do something. I felt like I had no option at all.” The air seemed to thicken between us, neither of…

- Me: Are you considering Ryan Gosling for one of the major roles in a franchise? Tobias: We’re in talks. Kevin offered him Hawkeye first, but Ryan’s ambitious and wanted a name movie, like Captain America. I declined that request since he isn’t American. After that, he agreed to do Thor. We’d have signed him already, but he’s asking for a higher salary than what you approved. Me: And why wasn’t I told about it? You know he’s a friend of mine. Tobias: Ryan asked us not to involve you.…

- “If markets are supposed to aggregate information, then a lot of what we call market failure looks more like an information failure. The price is wrong because the knowledge behind it is incomplete.” I finished answering the question my economics professor had posed to the class, one that no one else had managed to satisfy him with. I wasn’t entirely sure this was the response he’d been fishing for, but I knew one thing for certain. Everything I’d said was factually correct. “Perfect!”…

- The flight back home turned out to be rather anticlimactic. I had expected something noteworthy to happen, some kind of dramatic farewell or surprise, but nothing did. Julie sat beside me in first class, and we spent most of the time talking when we weren’t dozing off. The rest of the senior crew members, Randal, Nestor, and a few others, were seated in business class. My two friends, along with everyone else who wasn’t considered essential to the production, were tucked away in economy. It was a…
