For starters, here’s the original quote Johnson put out on Instagram slamming Diesel: “My female co-stars are always amazing and I love ’em. My male co-stars however are a different story. Some conduct themselves as stand up men and true professionals, while others don’t. The ones that don’t are too chicken shit to do anything about it anyway. Candy asses. When you watch this movie next April and it seems like I’m not acting in some of these scenes and my blood is legit boiling—you’re right....

Now, “Euphoria” star Hunter Schafer is weighing in on the darker dramas of TV, including Sam Levinson’s controversial teen epic that Schafer stars in. “In the past couple of years, I’ve noticed I don’t want to watch things about good people,” Schafer told The Cut in conversation with “The Acolyte” actress Amandla Stenberg....

Where to Watch “Evil”: Paramount+ “S Is for Silence,” Episode 7 of Season 2 of “Evil,” isn’t completely without words. Sure, most of it takes place at a cloistered monastery, where the priests and nuns who reside there claim to have not spoken a word for decades. But after walking a formal tightrope for two-thirds of the runtime, the show’s main investigative trio ducks out of the enclave’s boundaries for a quick, whispered huddle....

Griffith was pioneering advances in the art, and building his own studio to make his work, Lois Weber was doing, well, the exact same thing. When Hollywood was deep in its Golden Age, Dorothy Arzner, Dorothy Davenport, Tressie Souders, and many more women were right there, making their own films....

After SAG-AFTRA opened membership to intimacy coordinators back in July, actor Sean Bean slammed the practice for spoiling the “spontaneity” of love scenes for film and TV shows. “It would inhibit me more because it’s drawing attention to things,” the “Game of Thrones” alum told U.K.’s Times Magazine (via Variety). “Somebody saying, ‘Do this, put your hands there, while you touch his thing…’” He said, “I should imagine it slows down the thrust of it....

It represented 57 percent of the closest weekend in 2019, bringing the four-week comparative rolling average to 75 percent. “Dune” (Warner Bros.) had a weaker than anticipated second weekend, with a 62 percent drop grossing $15.5 million. Halloween was expected to hurt but Denis Villeneuve’s film lacked the competition of a major opening. Next weekend it will face the challenge of “Eternals.” Not only will they compete for attention in overlapping audiences, it will also grab nearly all premium presentation screens that accounted for more than 25 percent of the “Dune” total....
