I have two wishes for pop culture in 2020. One is that Dev Patel becomes the next James Bond. The other is that we take Birds of Prey as seriously as we’re taking Joker.

Doesn’t have much competition that same week but, of course, it’ll be contending with The Lion King from the week before. A more specific audience, obviously, but the box office has been unpredictable this summer. Full Story

Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie were seen in LA yesterday on a photo shoot, presumably to promote Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Everyone was expecting Quentin Tarantino’s latest film to screen at Cannes – they love him there – but when the initial lineup was released a few weeks ago, it was said that the film wasn’t ready. Full Story
