Verità.
Paul Schrader on how 70s films were a product of a better audience:
“There are people who talk about the American cinema of the ‘70s as some halcyon period. It was to a degree (...). There’s probably, in fact, more talented filmmakers today than there was in the ‘70s. What there was in the ‘70s was better audiences.
When people take movies seriously it’s very easy to make a serious movie. When they don’t take it seriously, it’s very, very hard. We now have audiences that don’t take movies seriously so it’s hard to make a serious movie for them.
It’s not that us filmmakers are letting you down, it’s you audiences are letting us down.”

Tra Hitch e Orson c’era una faida in corso. Per certi versi uno l’opposto dell’altro ma comunque due grandi (e grossi).
Orson Welles on Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window (1954):
"I saw one of the worst movies I've ever seen the other night [Rear Window]. Complete insensitivity to what a story about voyeurism could be. I'll tell you what is astonishing. To discover that Jimmy Stewart can be a bad actor. Even Grace Kelly is better than Jimmy, who's overacting."

In pratica PFL scompare. Come avevo già detto da un po’ di tempo a questa parte
Breaking:
MVP and PFL are merging.
The companies are combining to create a new combat sports platform under the MVP banner.
PFL will eventually become MVP MMA after a brand migration that will take place over the course of the next few months.
The new company will be led by Co-Founders and Board Members Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, with John Martin serving as CEO and Board Member.
Bidarian will continue to oversee MVP's boxing business and mega events, with the company backed by Founding Investors 885 Capital and Knighthead Capital Management.
First reported by the Wall Street Journal.

Ho grande rispetto per Dana e per tutto quello che di positivo ha fatto per le MMA e UFC soprattutto tra il 2006 e il 2016 ma purtroppo per noi fan dello sport negli ultimi anni si è occupato di politica. Forse si è pentito e sta tornando indietro? Magari!
The Rolling Stone Interview: Dana White
@danawhite tells Rolling Stone he does not speak politically.
"You never hear me talk politically, you never hear me say anything left, right. I'm a right down the middle common sense ... that's me."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Dana White has spoken at the 2016, 2020, and 2024 Republican National Conventions. youtube.com/watch?v=NWRegL… rev.com/transcripts/da… rev.com/transcripts/da…

Interessante come i fighter si sveglino sempre troppo tardi. Speriamo non sia il caso di un management “nomen omen” oppure la vedo brutta sia per il roster che per la carriera dei suoi assistiti 😅
🚨⚔️ Gilbert Burns announces his new MMA management company, ‘Burns MMA Agency’.
“I want to do a lot more for the fighters than only call my fighter when the UFC wants a fight.”

Legge. Il vecchio Steven Sbielberg ha ancora qualcosa da insegnare.
Steven Spielberg says filmmakers should never "use AI as the final word on anything creative":
“Don’t tell me how to write my dialogue for this character. Don’t tell me where the camera has to go. And also don’t tell me what the set should look like, unless AI is simply a tool in a large tool chest of the production designer. Use AI as a tool, but do not use AI as the final word on anything creative. That’s where I draw the line.”
