What does that even mean lol? He's alerting the media that he wants to stop getting paid large sums of money for very little work?

You can climb a mountain, you can swim the sea,
you can jump into the fire, but you'll never be free.

Agreed, changed my sig the other day because of it (it had been a Guru line for ages going back to his passing).

Not sure he sticks to it, but it would be a real shame. If there is one actor out there who doesn't do it just for money, it is this guy. He's done very few compared to the major stars.

Does anyone make Rock & Roll any more? I am talking new acts not bands like Aerosmith and Bon Jovi who haven't quit yet.

I would consider Jake Bugg rock. Anyone else?

Chris Staples is a tremendous songwriter, playing a house show at my house at the end of the summer. PM me if you want to check it out, should be a good time.

Here's one of his newer tracks:

Watch on YouTube

Not really familiar with his work. But now I'm going to assume you live in a kicking beach house.

Binged through the OA this weekend. Only 8 episodes but another good Netflix original. There will be a season 2 i assume.

Crazy that Jonathan Isaac could play at FSU and play the role of Hap at the same time

impressive job by the makeup artist too

Was that not awesome. I loved how the wove the staccato of the music over the action set pieces. Jamie was just transcendent in this performance.

No doubt. He was an amazing villain. The entire cast was brilliant. Hamm, Ansel, Spacey...not one bad one. As for the music, felt like a cartoon. Crazy. I likened it to Floyd and The Wizard Of Oz. Although, they "claim" that was unintentional. Regardless, Baby Driver was hands down my favorite movie so far this year. Looking forward to Planet of the Apes this weekend.

I saw Baby Driver today. I agree with the above, it's a great movie, with brilliant editing and music. Some of the car chase scenes kinda reminded me of the classic chase scene from The French Connection. And Eiza Gonzalez is HOT.

One of the previews was for Flatliners. It looks like this is a sequel to the very mediocre movie with the same name from 1990 or so. At this point in time, the laziness and lack of creativity in Hollywood is beyond belief.

I read that after Edgar Wright dropped out of Ant-Man due to creative differences with the script it was this script that he turned back to writing. He is really one of the good screenwriter's out thee. Looking at his credits including this and the Shawn of the Dead trilogy, he's done some original stuff.
