“What do you think has impacted the music industry the most in the last decade?”Arlen Brock already had hundreds of points he could raise as soon as he heard the question. He was a seasoned music critic, after all—one of the greatest, in fact. But since his audience wasn’t as knowledgeable as he was, he decided to dumb it down a bit and keep it generic.“Undoubtedly, sound mixing software that anyone can use,” he answered honestly before elaborating. “A decade or two ago, it was almost…- 961.0 K • Ongoing
- LunaBliss: I don’t remember the last time I cried this much. I watched the full video, along with dozens of others that Troy had linked in the description. How can anyone do that to another human being, let alone children? I want to hurt someone right now. #NotProstitutes #ReleaseEpsteinNames Lucy_12: I feel the same. Hats off to Troy for standing up to our corrupt government. I don’t think I would have had the courage to do what he did if I were in his place. I was never a big fan of his, but now?…

- “As I can see, you use an iPhone,” Sundar pointed out, his gaze flicking to the sleek device placed on the table. I nodded. “Of course I am. Apple’s user interface is so easy to use.” “Well, try this phone then,” Sundar said, gesturing toward the handset he had placed besides my iPhone just moments ago. I raised an eyebrow before picking it up. The phone felt a little heavier than my iPhone, with a plain, unassuming black casing. It looked like a basic Android device, the kind you…

It was always thrilling to watch how the different elements of filmmaking came together, each one resonating with the other to create a perfect scene.

When those efforts are combined with a strong story, sharp direction, and solid performances, the result could either make or break a film. The job of a director was truly demanding. Before stepping into the film…- 190.4 K • Ongoing
- I was walking from the Immigration zone towards the waiting area, dragging my red suitcase, my eyes taking in every face looking for two particular ones that I wanted to see more than anything else at the moment.“Troy!”I turned my head towards the familiar voice. Standing right there were Steve and Kathy. I picked up my pace as I almost ran towards the couple, balancing the suitcase carefully. As soon as I reached them, Kathy opened her arms for a hug and I literally rammed into her and hugged her for…

- Two days later, I had a new car and my own Alfred—ahem, I mean Roger.Roger Carpenter was ex-military, honorably discharged, and sent by a security agency that provided services for celebrities and other VIPs.

He had signed an NDA and was contracted for three years to be my bodyguard/driver.The car I was given for my commute to and from the sets of was a BMW 540i. Initially, I thought it was very expensive (especially when I didn't even…

- I felt empty. I’m not trying to be deep or emo, but I really felt purposeless at the moment. What else was left for me to gain at this point by continuing to act? I had already achieved all the highest honors in acting that any actor would want in their life. True, I could yearn for a Grammy to finish my EGOT, but at the moment, I couldn’t think beyond the two Tony trophies I had with me—one for acting, and one for Best Musical. While legally my father may have been the producer of the show, he…

- “Please do this for me, Emma,” Troy begged over the phone. “We don’t have an actress for the role of Sam. You said you love the role, so what’s the problem?”Emma took in a deep breath before saying, “The problem is that I’m going on a trip with my dad’s family during the same time you want me to shoot the film.”“You can go on a trip in September,” Troy offered. “I will be going then as well. We can go together if your family doesn’t want to.”“We’ve already made plans,…

She wasn’t entirely comfortable being out tonight. Placing my hand gently on the small of her back, I noticed her flinch ever so slightly. The reaction was brief—she quickly composed herself and offered a small, practiced smile.“Hey,” I whispered, leaning in slightly.…

- "Everyone!" DJ Caruso called out as filming was about to begin. "I want to apologize to you all for making the first few days of shooting so difficult. Most of all, I want to apologize to Troy for speaking ill of his acting style. He didn't deserve that at all." He then turned to face me. "Please forgive me, Troy."Evan had given me a heads-up about the move he had pulled with Caruso. I didn't like what he did, but I understood why it was necessary. If stories about on-set drama leaked to the media and…
