RB's Stage 32 News, Notes, Discussions, and Other Fun Stuff (March 28th, 2014)
Let's get right to the action, shall we?! A diverse week in Entertainment News. One of my favorite character actors, James Rebhorn, passed away this week at the (entirely too young age) of 65. Not only was he simply a talented actor, he was all class. James wrote his own obituary before passing. It's a must read. Just fantastic. Also in the news: The bet that made Steven Spielberg millions off of Star Wars, John Singleton says Hollywood "Ain't letting black people tell stories", The Br…

Busy week here on the site. I've highlighted 34 of the most popular and interesting Lounge discussions from the last week. Many of your fellow 32'ers are seeking advice! Please jump in, help out, and participate where you can. Thanks! In the entertainment world, nostalgia ruled the week. What's old is new again.

RB's Stage 32 News, Notes, Discussions, and Other Fun Stuff (March 14th, 2014)
A slightly truncated Weekend Blog this time around. Been down at SXSW this past week mentoring and taking meetings. Only now beginning to catch up on the news and events of the past 7 days. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those impacted by the horrible events down in Austin on Wednesday evening. An unnecessary tragedy in every sense. Quickly, some highlights this week: A journalist from Deadline Hollywood states her case as to why Mel Gibson should be forgiven and welcomed back i…

So, how did you like the Oscars? Surprised? Disappointed? Indifferent? We'll have the results of our Oscar contest posted shortly. (Hope you brought your A-game…Your fearless leader went 21 for 24.) As you might imagine, the news was dominated by Oscar talk this week. Some interesting behind the scenes articles. Also have more on what truly happened on the set in the moments before Sarah Jones was tragically killed. Some highlights from the week: The rift between 12 Years a S…

A jammed packed weekend blog this time around. I've highlighted some incredible articles that I would term must reads which I think you guys will really enjoy. I'm happy to report that worthwhile long form journalism, well researched opinion pieces, and non-narcissistic first person storytelling is not dead…at least for another week. A few that I highly recommend: Superstar indie producer, Cassian Elwes, tells the story of the 13 year ride of The Dallas Buyers Club and how he fo…

A remarkably busy week both here on the site and in the entertainment world. Let's get right to it. As Oscar night draws closer, I have 3 very interesting articles at the top of the Entertainment News section, including an interview with an Oscar voter on who he picked and why. The insights may surprise (and appall) you. Other news stories that caught my eye this week: True Detective continues to be the best thing on TV at the moment Why The Godfather II is still powerful 40 years …

RB's Stage 32 News, Notes, Discussions, and Other Fun Stuff (February 7th, 2014)
Happy Friday, everyone. The death of Phillip Seymour Hoffman dominated the news this week. I've selected a couple of articles and some terrific Lounge discussions speaking to the life of, for my money, the greatest actor of his generation. One of the amazing aspects of PSH's career was how he could control a picture as the leading man, but also make small roles memorable and complimentary – a gift to his fellow actors. One of my favorite examples of this was his take on Lester Ba…

Happy Super Bowl Weekend. Another busy week here on 32. We're gearing up for a few big announcements (more teasing under Stage 32 News) as well as preparing some other goodies for the community. You guys certainly got after it this week as well. The Lounge was buzzing (near record posts) and the network connections were off the charts. As for the external news this week, yet another interesting article on sexism in Hollywood. This one having to do with casting notices. The Tarantino H…
RB's Stage 32 News, Notes, Discussions, and Other Fun Stuff (January 24th, 2014)
Hello 32'ers. Ready for the weekend? Here's some cool reading and information to accompany your coffee or cocktail. One of the big stories this week was Harvey Weinstein declaring that he is plans to be more responsible regarding violence in the films he produces. Many are skeptical, including I. What say you? On a related note, the director that put Weinstein's old company into the stratosphere, Quentin Tarantino, is quite upset that his latest script, The Hateful Eight, was leaked ar…
RB's Stage 32 News, Notes, Discussions, and Other Fun Stuff (January 17th, 2014)
A ton to get to this week. Let's get it rolling… The big news in the entrainment world over the last 7 days revolves around what has been coined "Gender inertia" in the film industry. In simple terms, the gap between jobs for men and women, both in front of the camera and behind, has never been bigger. I've highlighted four articles in the ENTERTAINMENT NEWS section speaking to the issue at hand. I welcome your thoughts and opinions. Other news stories that caught my eye this we…
