what do you guys think about this? It kinda seems weird that DuVernay is kinda begging for attention and awards, but at the same time she may be right?
I havent seen her latest film, but it kinda rubs me the wrong way to read her on this piece.

I am so sick of this goddamn Bob Marley movie trailer. I swear they're playing it before every fucking movie.

Do you guys remember Amanda Peet?

In my memory she was a pretty big star for a couple of years and then she just disappeared.

wasn't she Charlie Sheen's wife for a spell? Then I think she was on some Bravo show. Pretty sure her kid(s) is/are handicapped and that she's a pretty dedicated mom now.

That's a good reason to retire. I only know that she's currently married to that idiot David Benihoff because I looked her up while watching Identity.

She was great in Togheterness, Dirty John and Fatal Atracttion but yeah I agree that’s she seems to be very talented and deserves more roles.

The first half of the year has been rough for new releases, but late '24 is looking good with Jordan Peele's new one, MaXXXine, and Nosferatu at least.
