Yeah i don't like James Cordon, how did he get his own talk show again? Oh yeah thats right, his audience are the people who watch utter crap. Did this get the green light because of Paddington? Perhaps they should have waited for no. 2 to come out...

Im holding my breath for 15:17 to Paris, mostly cause Ol Clint directs, and he did American Sniper- a steaming pile reeking of dollars.

And i hope Fifty shades bombs, hard.

Really? Good on him. That's terrific. I wonder if his role in The Butterfly Effect opened his eyes to this cause.
Yep saw on a combination Shark Tank and YouTube video. He testified in front of congress last year and supposedly his program has helped over 6000 kids.

The whole Masterson thing must have hurt pretty bad.

In November it was revealed that four women accused Masterson, 41, of sexual assault. In one instance, Masterson was accused of rape and strangling the victim until she blacked out.
The LAPD has been investigating him for some time. Basically it's alleged that the Church of Scientology has been covering up and possibly supplying women for these purposes. He was fired from The Ranch. This happened just after the Kevin Spacey thing so Netflix had to be very diligent.
