At the screening last night Tony Gilroy spoke about why a lot of people in creative fields are progressive. I forget his exact phrasing but basically it’s because you have to have empathy in order to make something that speaks to people. Refreshing to hear empathy talked about as a positive.

The latest episodes of #Andor show how authoritarianism becomes ordinary — how people get crushed by systems pretending to keep order. We break it down in our article on the show as a metaphor for American fascism: www.wired.com/story/star-w...

Star Wars’ ‘Andor’ Season 2 Depicts the Banality of American Fascism

The franchise’s Disney era has been defined by toothless politics, but “Andor” Season 2 is a vivid metaphor for America’s descent into authoritarianism.

ANDOR will be remembered as an iconic war story in the vein of Schindler’s List, The Bridge On The River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia, and Saving Private Ryan. Tony Gilroy treats his characters as real people, who experience the trauma of oppression and are motivated by it.

This is such a lovely tribute to Val Kilmer from Hilarie Burton ❤️

hilarieburton
The sweetest man.

I played @valkilmerofficial 's girlfriend in a movie back in 2009. The script called for us to have a fairly rowdy love scene that got interrupted by a phone call. I'd just come off of OTH where I was always put in some kind of compromising position....so it was just work as usual.
But then I got to set the day we were going to be shooting that scene and there was a scramble happening. "Val wants to change the scene."
Huh?
"It's not interesting," he said. A gratuitous sex scene with a younger woman didn't service the story or the character. It said nothing about the relationship and why either of our characters were in it. Instead, Val sent someone out to a local restaurant to pick up a huge tub of ribs. And so, as the camera panned up from the floor, our moans were those of two people, comfortable and indulgent, tangled up in bed and unfettered by the mess, elbows deep in North Carolina's finest bbq

It was infinitely more interesting and I felt so safe and cared for by that man. It would have been easy to phone it in and just go with the stereotypical way women have been seen in film. Rather than the scene playing on my naked back, he turned me toward the camera. He made the scene about us instead of using me as a prop. That one day at work rewired my brain.
Val was kind to me. A thoughtful artist. I bought some of his paintings a few years back. I hope every young actor has a Val in their life. That movie was a magical experience.

It is impossible to capture how catastrophic Trump’s recent moves and statements are for US defense contractors—this will have a huge trickle-down industrial effect given supply chains and subcontractors.

this is where the analogy to Brexit is really useful. A similar attitude that the US is completely self-sufficient and needs nothing from anyone. Too bad a lot of innocent people are gonna find out the hard way that this isn’t true.
