Happy Weekend all…
I've got 36 really cool and interesting Lounge discussions this week along with one of the coolest Stage Success Stories yet. This one involves a filmmaker with extraordinary vision and 14 Stage 32'ers spanning 9 countries. Check out the STAGE 32 SUCCESS STORIES section below to read this incredible story along with others from the past week.
In entertainment news, many of you are aware how Citizen Kane played a part in the naming of Stage 32 (if not, click here). It was announced this week that many of the Kane items in Orson Welles private collection are going up for auction. I have the article below.
Elsewhere:
- Kevin Spacey explains the right way to say f*** off
- More on the Tarantino/Gawker lawsuit
- Arnie crashes again at the box office
- The WGA finalizes a 3 year deal
- Nextflix and Amazon get sued
- Amazon introduces a new streaming device
- 6 remarkably inspiring speeches by celebrities
And much more. Plus, four trailers including the last appearance by James Gandolfini, screenwriting, filmmaking, and producing tips, and 8 planned and proposed Stage 32 Meetups.
Enjoy!
