(Flashback) Chad Hurley, the CEO of YouTube, looked on nervously as his boss examined the app on the iPhone Chad had just handed him. Technically, Troy wasn’t Chad’s boss because he didn’t hold any position in the company, but when he held more than 70% shares, it made sense that he was treated like a boss. The teenager was far from ordinary. Despite his age, he was the richest self-made teenager in history, and arguably one of the most powerful individuals in the world at that…- 930.1 K • Ongoing
- July 2008, New York City, NY, USA “You’ve been oddly quiet ever since ’s premiere,” Scarlett pointed out with a raised eyebrow. “Everything okay?” “Nothing serious, it’s just me being stupid,” I replied. “Do you...believe in fate?” She gave me a confused look. “Fate?” “Yeah,” I nodded. “Like, everything is pre-destined and you will do what’s written for you to do.” She thought about it for a moment before nodding. “I hadn’t given it much thought, but…

- “I hate this job,” Olivia groaned, slumping against the counter as she spoke to her colleague. “Who even buys flowers this late at night?” “Surprisingly, many people do,” Christine replied with a straight face, casually rearranging a bouquet of white lilies. “This is only your first week, and it’s been relatively slow, but you’d be surprised how many men suddenly remember their anniversary or their partner’s birthday at night. Some just want to surprise their girlfriends or wives.…

- Deborah Ross, The Spectator ★★★★★ " doesn’t just redefine the superhero genre; it obliterates its limits. Christopher Nolan has crafted a dark, complex, and genuinely philosophical blockbuster that lingers long after the credits roll. This is storytelling on an operatic scale, yet grounded in emotional truth. The Joker’s fantastic portrayal elevates the film to perfection." Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times ★★★★ "I’ve seen Jack Nicholson’s interpretation of the Joker, which I…

- “So this is your masterpiece?” Dad asked the moment I reached him, his eyes still gleaming with the afterglow of the screening. “You tell me,” I replied with a shrug, trying to sound casual. “My performance is only as good as the audience thinks.” Before Dad could reply, Mum pulled me into a tight hug, practically squeezing the breath out of me. Her voice was filled with emotion as she said, “It was simply out of this world, son. I haven’t seen this level of performance, especially in…

- Scarlett glanced sideways at her twin brother. Hunter was practically vibrating in his seat, even though the film’s pace had slowed. His eyes were wide, his hands gripping the armrest. “Oh my God! This is so good,” he whispered. “I know it sounds bad, but I love the Joker.” Scarlett gave him a skeptical look. “Don’t you mean you hate him?” Hunter paused to think, then leaned in. “I hate what he does, but I love watching him. Every second he’s on screen, I’m hooked. And when…

- “STOP!” Rachel Dawes, played by Maggie Gyllenhaal, stepped forward to confront the Joker. She was clearly terrified but trying to hold her ground. The Joker turned to her, smiling wider than before, and launched into yet another unsettling monologue. “Do you know how I got these scars? I had a wife once,” he began. “She was beautiful, just like you. She used to tell me I should worry less. Smile more.” He spoke softly at first, recounting how his wife had been scarred by loan sharks,…

- Rod Meyer glanced at the kid sitting beside him, who was visibly trembling, his legs jittering against the floor like he was about to be executed. Rod chuckled softly and turned his attention back to the screen. Warner Bros. had pushed the hype to astronomical levels, but in Rod’s opinion, it was still just a superhero movie. Even a masterful filmmaker like Christopher Nolan couldn’t escape the genre’s inherent limitations. had certainly been a massive leap forward compared to earlier Batman…

- I walked beside Tobias through what was supposed to be the Los Angeles office for my production house, Phoenix. The company might have been registered in London, but if I wanted to seriously tap into American entertainment, where the big bucks lay, I needed to maintain a presence in Hollywood. Still, since I came here so rarely, the place didn’t feel familiar. It felt more like visiting someone else’s office than stepping into my own. The space itself wasn’t the most impressive or luxurious I had…

- Robert Downey Jr. couldn’t believe his luck. Just two years ago, he had thought he would die a forgettable actor, remembered only as a junkie. But now, he was starring in the biggest blockbuster of the summer so far. “You did it, honey,” Susan, his wife, congratulated him with a hug when the figures finally came in. “We did it,” Robert corrected her. “I couldn’t have done it without you.” If he was clean today, it was all thanks to her, so it was obvious she had played a huge role…
