• EFA You can now vote on the People's Choice Award at the European Film Awards and maybe win a trip to the ceremony (strange choices this year. I don't like it when it's easy to decide!)
• Variety Buzzy titles at TIFF without a distributor that are hoping to inspire big sales / awards buzz -a la I Tonya last year
• NWI Robert Redford's swan song in Old Man and the Gun
• Playbill Megan Hilty singing "Suddenly Seymour" (!) from Little Shop of Horrors
• Bobby Rivers TCM's "The Black Experience on Film" - set your DVRs
• Deadline Cats, the movie musical, has moved into Wicked's previous release date December 20th, 2019. It's so weird that Cats is going to happen before Wicked when the latter so clearly needs to be a movie and the former so clearly shouldn't.
• The Playlist Dave Bautista not sure if he wants to continue his Marvel Universe contract post James Gunn firing
• The New Yorker great piece on the shaming of character actor Geoffrey Owens for his grocery bagging job on the side
• Vulture let these photos of Lady Gaga be your air conditioning
• Film School Rejects Crazy Rich Asian's had a historically big Labor Day weekend. It's also the first romcom to win that weekend since Bring It On in 2000!
• Next Best Picture a potential controversy for A Star is Born
• Gothamist the Village Voice is officially dead, after publishing since 1955 *sniffle*
Finally, over at Towleroad I shared feelings about the Summer Movie Season as we bid it goodbye. You've heard most of that article's introduction feelings before here at TFE but if you want to see the silly awards I handed out like "sexiest men," "stealth MVPs," and "best quotes", click on over.

Wow! Those photos of Lady Gaga are absolutely STUNNING
That New Yorker article is great. Maybe if this country wasn't so screwed up in how we talk (or don't) about money, seeing an actor with a side gig wouldn't be so surprising.
I wonder about that Star is Born article. Sure, I guess that could be a problem. But comparing it to Franco seems unrealistic - Franco is a MUCH bigger name. Do people really pay attention to producers?
Re: A Star is Born. I think it might not hinder it for a nomination, but a win is another matter.
Natalie Portman is killing it again in Venice this year. Getting great reviews for Vox Lux.
I still can't believe they're going for Cats and it would star Taylor Swift? Ugh.... she's horrible. Not just as a singer but as a person as well.
nice
Towelroot apk android app Thank you for such a wonderful post!
Aaron - The reviews sound amazing! It wasn't even on my radar, but has now jumped up to one of my most anticipated for the year.
Also, I remember the Franco controversy... the scandal blew up after voting was already underway, and close to finishing. He missed by coincidence, but had he made it, there definitely would've been a bit of an uproar.
Anyway, people are always looking for something to be offended by. That guy sounds icky and terrible, but let's not punish Bradley and Gaga and everyone else's hard work because of one man. For all we know, there was no way around him.
