I sat beside Elizabeth Olsen as I casually scrolled through my phone. We’d just finished another round of press junkets for the movie. The award ceremony for the film festival would begin soon, and until then, we’d decided to relax in the same room. There was nothing romantic about it at this point, just two friends hanging out together. “I still can’t believe this is happening,” she whispered in disbelief. “My very first movie, and so much positive reception.” “You deserve it,”…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
- “I have a counter-question for you,” Troy replied immediately, without an ounce of worry in his voice. “If I were to play a gay character tomorrow, would it also be considered hypocritical because I’m not gay in real life?” “Of course,” the woman retorted. “A gay actor would bring more authenticity to such a story.” “By that logic, I’m also not a homicidal maniac, so I shouldn’t play the Joker. Do you know an unhinged person like him we could cast in the next Batman movie?…

- The turning point came when Desmond saved a man from dying after he was crushed under a car and began bleeding profusely. Using a belt as a tourniquet seems like a very simple thing to do, but for him to act so decisively in the middle of an emergency without panicking was a real act of heroism. The man’s life was saved when he was brought to the hospital shortly afterward, and the doctor credited Desmond for saving his life. It was there in the emergency room that Desmond looked around and saw…

is the best coming-of-age movie you’ll see this year Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times Rating: 4/4 I had no idea what I was getting into when I walked into the premiere of . I was told by the trailers and the controversy that arrived just before the film’s release that it would be about sex, but it’s so much more than that. It’s a mirror to our society. The beginning of the tale is one that every red-blooded male would know: the urge to lose his virginity before his friends during his teenage…- 270.1 K • Ongoing

- “It’s always great to talk to you, Roger, Gene,” Noah greeted the duo of film critics who had been invited to the New York premiere by Columbia Pictures. “The pleasure is all ours,” Roger Ebert replied for both of them. “Though, if I’m honest, I would’ve preferred to see you in the directing seat. I’m still in awe of what you accomplished with on a fraction of the budget of any big-budget blockbuster movie, while still outperforming most of the movies released this year.” Noah…

- “Noah! Care to give us a comment about your sex scandal?” “Do you like having sex on a public beach?!” “Are you a nudist?” “Does it turn you on to have other people watch you in the act?” “Who was that girl you made a woman out of?” A million other deliberately provocative questions were thrown my way, and I won’t lie, their strategy was working. I was this close to reaching out and punching someone in the teeth for shouting such bullshit while I was getting…

- “Well?” Bobbie prodded gently after a few seconds of silence. Julie hadn’t said a word, her hands folded tightly in her lap under the lights. I decided to answer for her. “I don’t know about Julie, but my father was furious when he found out.” Bobbie turned to me, curiosity flickering across her face. “Because of the nudity?” I shook my head. “Not really. Dad doesn’t like acting in general. He doesn’t think it’s a great profession. Or at least that’s what he used to think…

- I sat across from my soon-to-be agent and carefully read through the contract she’d handed me. It didn’t take me long to get through the pages. “Honestly, I didn’t expect the reason for you not signing me up to be this,” I said, motioning around at her new office, which looked nothing like her old one. And thank God she didn’t insist on representing me back then. For if she had, I would have lost out on a good chunk of my profits from the backend deal I had subsequently signed with Sean…
