Article Comment – Actresses Speak Out Against Sean Bean Denouncing Intimacy Coordinators

Good point. Rarely are sex scenes necessary to the story. Usually they come off like the male director's fantasy.

Article Comment – Actresses Speak Out Against Sean Bean Denouncing Intimacy Coordinators

Tell that to all of the women who were put in the position of having two choices: get naked or get fired. That's a situation you, and Sean Bean, clearly don't understand.

Article Comment – We Really Miss Michael Crichton's Pop Culture Dominance

I've only read State of Fear, the controversial climate change book. Regardless of the topic, it's a great story. I wish there was a way to make State of Fear into a movie or series while still addressing the climate questions.

Article Comment – Why Does the Academy Hate Actual Filmmaking?

Article Comment – Seth Rogen Wonders If the General Public Cares about the Academy Awards

Even if American movies did "self-righteously scold" a portion of the American audience (more like 30% than 50%), they're poorly done. American movies are full of too much CG, too much dialogue, too much plot, too little character development and are frantically edited. They're just…bad. I think we've also gotten to the point in film history in which the audience has seen it all and nothing is new. No more surprises, no more movie magic. Maybe the art form has run its course.
