SHOCKING: What Quentin Tarantino wants to do after "The Hateful Eight".

This according to CB

In news that will shock and disappoint a generation of moviegoers, Quentin Tarantino has admitted that his immediate future might not include filmmaking. That sound you hear is the world collectively weeping. But there’s no need to fret, because Tarantino has insisted that he’s going to be turning his writing and directing talents to new mediums, starting with a theatrical version of The Hateful Eight.

Quentin Tarantino admitted that he wants to give other actors the opportunity to play his characters, and The Hateful Eight is, alongside Reservoir Dogs, perfectly suited for a stage adaptation. However, before you start queuing up on Broadway for tickets, Tarantino, who had previously insisted that he'd quit directing after 10 films, stated that he is going to wait and see how he feels after The Hateful Eight is released before making any concrete plans.

‘PIXELS’: How a clever two-minute short became an Adam Sandler movie

Here’s a fun fact you didn’t know before now. Well, the Sony’s ‘Pixels’ movie coming out tomorrow was once a short film. Lemme put it this way… it’s an adaptation of a short film. Before “Pixels” became the latest critically derided movie on Adam Sandler’s filmography, it was something very different: a two-and-a-half minute short with a clever concept and impressive execution. The short begins with an old television that has been kicked to the curb and unleashes an ominous pixelated cloud over New York City. Watch it after the break.

PMB WAGES WAR AGAINST MOVIE PIRACY: Issokay!!!

So, my thought today:

How many Optimists do we have in here? I am definitely not a pessimist but at the same time, on this one, I doubt my optimism.

PMB wages War against movie piracy??? Issokay. “Dasall I can say” My hands are surely folded. How possible is this? Oh, because they haven’t started pirating well enough online? Or because of the quality of what we produce which has limited its demands?

Only Alaba boys o. we are yet to curb them. Even overseas, they are still battling with piracy. Maybe he should just focus on the insurgent attacks and all. Those are enough headaches.

In as much as I would like to take it back and be optimistic, this just might be another journey of no return. I am so sorry guys. I just had to share my thought. Maybe I am wrong in every way.

Whew!!! What a relief.

 

NEWS: Netflix Hits 65 Million Subscribers in Strong 2nd Quarter

Netflix is still racking up subscribe numbers at an impressive pace, but its profit is not what it once was.

Netflix’s overseas push helped make for a blockbuster second quarter as the streaming movie service added 2.5 million new subscribers.

The company said Wednesday that it had more than 65 million subscribers, in total. Of those, 42 million are in the U.S. and another 23 million were international. Netflix predicted it would have 69 million subscribers by the end of the third quarter.

The strong results helped lift Netflix’s shares more than 10% in after-hours trading to around $107. The earnings came a day after Netflix went ahead with a 7-1 stock split that may tempt more average investors to take a position by reducing the share prices from above $700 to closer to $100.
