RB's Weekend Reading (and viewing) - August 10th, 2013

Hope you are all having a terrific and creative weekend.
Back with some stories, tips, and videos that caught my eye this week. Along with some Stage 32 news (man, you guys got after it this week).
In this edition, Woody Allen bares his soul, Johnny Depp and Jerry Bruckheimer spew some venom, Sly Stallone throws a verbal right cross at Bruce Willis' jaw, Denzel "My man, my man" Washington heads back to Broadway, and a report on how we're consuming media.
Plus, a heavy weekend of videos - trailers galore - plus my interview with OZEMAG, a Stage 32 screenwriter looks to start a writing group, some popular discussions and much, much more.
And a forum to talk rant and rave about all of it...
As always, I welcome your thoughts on any of these subjects in the Comments section below! Let the discussion begin!
