In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

George Clooney is lamenting conglomerates taking over Hollywood. The actor told GQ UK that studio Paramount, which has long been on the market, is akin to a “mom-and-pop shop” nowadays.'The Deliverance' Review: Lee Daniels' Horror Effort Sees Glenn Close Tortured via Netflix Drama



“Paramount’s one of the great original studios,” Clooney said when asked about how Hollywood has changed. “But some of it you just have no say in. Because the business, it’s all getting eaten up.

It’s true that for the last few decades, the Westerns have become less popular even though there are still occasional hits theatrically and its influence is everywhere. Kevin Costner’s recent attempt to bring the genre back to the big screen failed, but it’s admirable that there are still filmmakers who want to keep the old-school westerns alive in theatres and not just on Taylor Sheridan’s shows. Then again, obviously, the genre is more than just traditional/old-school kind. Many filmmakers put their own twist on the formula, and this list aims to have them all: from character-driven dramas to genre-blending tales.

The council amended a contract with Haven for Hope during the Safety, Housing, Education and Homelessness Committee meeting Wednesday.

It seems everyone needs subtitles nowadays in order to "hear" the television. This is something that has become more common over the past decade and it's caused people to question if their hearing is going bad or if perhaps actors have gotten lazy with enunciation. So if you've been wondering if it's just you who needs subtitles in order to watch the latest marathon-worthy show, worry no more. Vox video producer Edward Vega interviewed dialogue editor Austin Olivia Kendrick to get to the bottom of why we can't seem to make out what the actors are saying anymore. It turns out it's technology's fault, and to get to how we got here, Vega and Kendrick took us back in time.They first explained that way back when movies were first moving from silent film to spoken dialogue, actors had to enunciate and project loudly while speaking directly into a large microphone. If they spoke and moved like actors do today, it would sound almost as if someone were giving a drive-by soliloquy while circling the block. You'd only hear every other sentence or two.

Finally, someone explains why we all need subtitles when watching TV
