DL: Take that Adam Aron! Cineworld CEO Mooky Greidinger writes a DL Op-Ed saying AMPAS needs an emergency committee to include SPID8/etc. notfabio Mar 25, 10:32

take it up with the studios, my dude. make better movies (for wide audiences) and they'll get nominated like Titanic did {nm} fat bernie Mar 25, 10:40

1.3 million (US) before taxes! Though Road to Bond casting the next James Bond would actually be a good one. {nm} notfabio Mar 25, 09:46

What's 1.3 million to a 14X HSX billionaire? :) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Mar 25, 10:56

Coming over the next decade.. Lady Bond (aka Vag-a-Bond), Baby Bond, Teen Bond, LGBTQ Bond & Sr citizen Bond (aka Bond-age) {nm} Tallwonder Mar 25, 10:49

The Broccolis are pretty dead set that James Bond should always be a man and British (any ethnicity). But something like Jinx may happen. {nm} notfabio Mar 25, 11:14

Jatinder: Hearing Dr Strange 2 tickets go on sale April 6th notfabio Mar 24, 21:54
