Minority Mindset

Starring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, along with Steven Yeun, Teyana Taylor, and Kyle Chandler, The Rip is shaping up to be a thrilling and suspenseful crime story. What’s particularly exciting is that Damon and Affleck are not only acting together again, but also producing the film through their production company, Artists Equity. They’ve consistently delivered strong work in Hollywood, from the acclaimed drama Good Will Hunting to the sleek crime thriller The Town, and The Rip continues their tradition of compelling stories in this genre.

The upcoming DCU Supergirl movie doesn’t seem to be drawing much from the look and feel of the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic book it’s based on. Doubts about how closely the movie would follow the comic began with the first teaser trailer, and a recent interview with James Gunn in Variety has lowered expectations even further.

In a recent interview, James Gunn revealed he’s been vividly imagining how he would portray both Superman and Lex Luthor. He shared his detailed vision for Superman and his plans for the future of the character’s story.

Led Zeppelin is notoriously protective of their music, and they’ve never permitted the use of “Stairway to Heaven” in movies or TV shows. Robert Plant explained that all four band members – with a particular astrological mix of Capricorns and a Leo – must unanimously agree on any use of their songs. They feel most requests don’t meet their standards, and truly exceptional opportunities, like those from shows such as The Bear, The Big Short, and School of Rock, are extremely rare. Plant believes their music deserves to be paired with films that have depth and meaning, but finding those projects is difficult, as many are simply lacking in taste. Considering how selective they are, it seems unlikely they would have approved the use of their song in a scene with a CGI monster.
