'Lethal Weapon' Star Clayne Crawford Speaks out After Months of Silence
It has been public knowledge for a few months now that Clayne Crawford was let go from the cast of Lethal Weapon. The only reason we have been given thus far is that Crawford had some behaviour issues that jeopardized the show. He has remained silent for months, but on August 29, 2018, the actor went to a podcast called Drinkin Bros to tell his side. What the media has not been telling us is shocking.

Josie Totah Announces She Is Transgender
We are on a journey of self-discovery throughout our lives. Nowhere does this seem to be truer than during the turbulent times known as adolescence. Kids go through a tremendous amount of growth, both physically and cognitively, and through it all, there's a tremendous pressure to be successful, know what you want to be when you grow up, and get into a great school so that when all is said and done, you can go off and be a great adult one day.

Back in Black: 10 Actors Who Could Play Penguin in 'The Batman'. Top Story - August 2018.
DC Comics fans have been waiting with baited breath for any kind of news to come out Matt Reeves' upcoming project The Batman, yet it looks like most of its production is going to be kept under wraps. It seems like we see a different news story each week about Ben Affleck not being in the movie, or Reeves casting for a younger Batman, but the truth is we just don't know what is happening behind the scenes. What we do seem to know for a fact is that The Dark Knight's infamous foe The Penguin is going to be the main antagonist of the movie, and with such a quirky character being the villain, you need the right kind of actor to play him. I believe I have a few likely candidates, and I hope you agree!

Reason First: Worst Examples of Spike Lee’s Double Dolly Shot Listed from Goofy to Awkward
On the occasion of his narrative film, BlacKkKlansman (2018), Spike Lee can celebrate a return to his more accessible types of films. As a terrific documentarian, though, Lee has crafted some moving, profound works of nonfiction, non-narrative films in the past. But when it comes to his feature films, he has a proclivity to use poor camera grammar. In particular, the double dolly shot which depicts a character or characters seemingly floating on air gives no indication of the mood, intentions, or other ideas involved in the scene. The worst part of this camera inclination is that it appears in so many of Lee’s works. It is difficult to engage into the movie when the seemingly hovering (usually protagonist) flashes onto the screen. And there seems to be no sign of Lee stopping this stunt. He continues to implement this technique (if you can call it that) into his oeuvre. With over 30 years of professional experience to his credit, Lee has garnered an honorary Academy Award amongst other accolades. But what are these boards and critics voting for in these instances? Do they not realize that the double dolly shot is annoying, clumsy, and jarring? Does Lee know that the shot is annoying, clumsy, and jarring? Maybe it is because he thinks that since no one else employs the shot as much that it is okay to be the director to stick out from the crowd. It’s too bad that he sticks out like a weed amongst a bed of roses. So get your double cutting instructions and prepare to break the fourth wall with, Why Are You Ranking: Worst Examples of Spike Lee’s Double Dolly Shot Listed from Goofy to Awkward.

Who Will Be the Next Bond?
1.109 billion dollars. And that was the box office for just one movie of four. The latest series of James Bond films starring Daniel Craig as 007 has been the most profitable ever made—grossing over 3 billion dollars. The 25th film of the Bond franchise will be out in the end of 2019 when Daniel Craig will be 51-years-old. The oldest actor to play the super spy had been Sean Connery in 1983 at 53 years of age. But even though it seems as if Craig is in such a great shape that he could make another two movies, unfortunately the 25th 007 movie that hits theaters on November 8 next year will be his last reprisal of the role. Of course, the franchise will continue with a new leading man to star as the MI6 agent. These are the top actors who could be the next Bond:

Should Disney Re-Hire James Gunn?
It would seem that the Guardians of the Galaxy have James Gunn's back. Gunn, who was ousted from the third installment of the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise over tweets he made a decade ago which apparently had pedophilia and rape as the subject, was fired a couple of weeks ago. At the time, Walt Disney Studios chair Alan Horn called the tweets "indefensible" and "inconsistent" with Disney's values, and Gunn, who directed the first two installments of the Guardians of the Galaxy, said he understood the business decision that Disney had made in firing him.

Johnny Depp - a Survivor, and a Hero
Johnny Depp—actor, musician and humanitarian extraordinaire—is a powerful force who never stops evolving. He is just as relevant today as he was back when Edward Scissorhands hit the silver screen and people really saw what this "pretty boy" could do. Having broken out of the mold of formula, teen magazines, and 21 Jump Street, which of course gave him his start, Johnny made his own way after Edward Scissorhands's success. Since then, he has never stopped. Like Alice Cooper, he is yet another Energizer Bunny. Whether it's a new movie, a tour with the Hollywood Vampires, or a turn onstage playing guitar with a band he's friends with... Johnny Depp just keeps going. You can't keep a good man down.

Why Are You Ranking: Best Ways That Lindsay Lohan Is the Metaphor for America From Her Reckless to Her Most Beautiful Points
Once a darling of the cinema, actress Lindsay Lohan has experienced both the crests and the doldrums of her profession. Through bizarre run-ins with paparazzi to drug and alcohol abuse, to her romantic life being displayed on supermarket magazine covers, Miss Lohan still continues to work, although without as much fanfare or adulation. From her time as an adorable kid actor on the updated version of the The Parent Trap (1998) to the silly but profitable picture Freaky Friday (2003), Lohan was a Disney princess come to life. And of course, arguably her crowning achievement in her career, Mean Girls (2004) sent her into the film world stratosphere. But then, something happened. Or rather, nothing related to her film career happened. Sure, she came back home to Disney with Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005) but her other projects thereafter fizzled or didn’t live up to the critical or commercial expectations that her previous work had garnered. And this is the metaphor for the Decline of the American Empire. The most ethical (not to say that Miss Lohan has the highest moral standards), beautiful, young, and promising nation to ever grace the face of the planet earth has been on the downslope even before current President Trump swore the oath of office. As the descent of a starlet turned bad girl and now treated like a red-headed step child that you keep locked away in the basement, Lohan is America. For over a century, while the nation has experienced great technological strides, it has tumbled back by the axis powers of mysticism, collectivism, and altruism. It is not too late for either Miss Lohan or America. The one-time ingénue and the most moral country in human history have room enough for a comeback. Lindsay Lohan doesn’t seem headed for major collapse with her recent string of independent films and America doesn’t look like Rome during its period of downtrend. There’s hope. So, go look up the word fetch in the Urban Dictionary for Why Are You Ranking: Best Ways That Lindsay Lohan Is the Metaphor for America From Her Reckless to Her Beautiful Points.
