In the creation of great fictional art such as movies and television shows, it’s a necessary evil that - in certain cases - something is constructed as to be extremely “real”, even though it clearly, obviously, reasonably to most functioning, thinking humans, isn’t. Soap opera actors have been known to receive donations when their characters [...]

It’s not that parents in Hollywood are all stupid.

One never hears tabloid stories, for example, about [...]

It doesn’t matter if the quote is humorous, factual, eloquent or [...]

Some celebrities are like children. Offer them one popsicle and they will absolutely expect you to give up the whole box next time. Why else would today’s mystery actor blame the failure of their last movie on the fact that producers didn’t seek the celebrity’s critical post-production input?

Dedicated screenwriting 101 here: From an interview with Harrison Ford on the MTV Movies Blog in which the inevitability of another Indiana Jones movie is mentioned:
