This is like the “hunger games left no impact” debate where it feels like we talk about this every couple of months.

 

though I did realize that Channing Tatum kind of just disappeared. Dude was everywhere for like 3 or 4 years, but the last thing he was in was like...The Golden Circle? Maybe he wanted to take a break

Doesn't seem like he took a break. It's just that every project he was attached to either fell apart or was abandoned. Having a high profile divorce happen right in the middle of that didn't help either.

 

He had Gambit, The Forever War, Splash and the Jump Street/MIB crossover all be cancelled since 2015.

One of my favorite film scores in recent years. This piece in particular is so good! Haunting, hypnotic and beautiful.

JGL said in a recent interview about that new plane thriller of his on Amazon that he took time off for personal reasons. A noble decision, even if his career was already starting to slow down a bit at the time.

He's also been busy opening up Magic Mike Live shows in Las Vegas and elsewhere. That movie has become his main license to print money, I suppose. Also tried putting together a stage musical adaptation (yes, seriously) which also failed to launch.

It is really unsettling, for sure. Definitely a lot of congruency between the music and the visuals.

Quote

In a sign that the NFL’s Washington franchise has committed itself to a new name, the league has asked teams to begin scrubbing “Redskins” from their platforms in anticipation of a change that could be coming as soon as Monday.

 

The move completes a swift about-face from Washington owner Dan Snyder, who previously vowed that the nickname would continue on as it has since 1933, when it was created by former owner George Preston Marshall. This despite the name coming under increased scrutiny in recent years as being racist and demeaning toward Native Americans. Those grievances have been longstanding, but gained significant momentum over the last month as the death of George Floyd sparked nationwide protests over racial inequality in the country.

 

The turning point appeared to come on July 2, when it was revealed that a group of investment firms in multibillion dollar corporations such as FedEx, Nike, PepsiCo and others had joined together to ask the companies to cut their business ties with Washington unless the franchise changed its nickname. Collectively, the groups and investors seeking to pressure the name change held a net worth of over $620 billion. Soon after that letter pressuring the companies, FedEx released a statement that it had requested a name change and Nike pulled all Washington merchandise from its online store.
