I guess we can count Thandie Newton among the people not too eager to work with Disney again anytime soon: she's confirmed that her role in Solo really was reduced to almost nothing.

 

Star Wars: Thandiwe Newton calls her 'Solo' death “a big mistake” [Exclusive] (inverse.com)

 

As someone who never saw all of Solo...I forgot she was in this 😕 I'm not interested enough to finish at this rate.

Nope ISIS.

God, even the White House has been warning about the threat of an attack by an ISIS offshoot for a couple of days now.

I have no love whatsoever for the Taliban, but looks as though ISIS are the guys repsonbile for this atrocity.

Just wait until the announcement of their own theme park. The buzz surrounding that Midsommar section is gonna make World of Pandora, Toy Story Land and Galaxy's Edge collectively hang their heads in shame.

Been binge watching The Mary Tyler Moore show the last few days. Really liked Asner's Santa in Elf, and his voice work in KOTOR.

Pretty surreal timing after Hollywood Reporter published a big career interview with him the other day no doubt timed for the Up show (which lands this week): Ed Asner Reflects on Golden Age of TV, Date With Mary Tyler Moore – The Hollywood Reporter

 

Sad news. RIP.
