A CHACE SCENE

"I feel that gay people not being able to get married for generations, forever, meant that we came up with alternative ways of recognizing relationships," she explains. "And I worry that if everybody has access to the same institutions that we lose the creativity of subcultures having to make it on their own. And I like gay culture." --Rachel Maddow discusses with the Hollywood Reporter because of gay marriage the gay culture may become watered down.

SAY WHAT?

Michelle and I are saddened to learn of the passing of Steve Jobs. Steve was among the greatest of American innovators - brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it. By building one of the planet's most successful companies from his garage, he exemplified the spirit of American ingenuity. By making computers personal and putting the internet in our pockets, he made the information revolution not only accessible, but intuitive and fun. And by turning his talents to storytelling, he has brought joy to millions of children and grownups alike. Steve was fond of saying that he lived every day like it was his last. Because he did, he transformed our lives, redefined entire industries, and achieved one of the rarest feats in human history: he changed the way each of us sees the world.

“Basically, if they’re going to pay me the stupid money right now, I’m going to take it. I have to. I mean, it’s not for me. Do you know what I mean? At this point, it’s for my kids. It’s ridiculous, yeah, yeah. But ultimately is it for me? No. No. It’s for the kids.”

SAY WHAT?

DICK MEET JANE:

"Hey, you grow up as an artist in a big city, as James Dean said, you're going to have one arm tied behind your back if you don't accept people's sexual flavors. You know, when I was a kid out here in L.A., I was homeless, I didn't have any money and I was living in my car. I was 18. I wasn't averse to going down to Santa Monica Boulevard and letting a guy buy me a sandwich. Know what I mean? You're a lot more open to experimentation as a young man. And for me, being a young artist and broke in Los Angeles, I was exploring my sexual identity. And probably because of my middle-class, white blue-collar upbringing, I would have never had the opportunity to confront some of my own fears and prejudices had I not been hungry enough to be forced to challenge myself in that way." --Thomas Jane confides to the Los Angeles Times.

Disappointingly, Jane ended the interview with his sexuality being a choice. Adding more fuel to the fire to the argument that homosexuality is a choice. We know that isn't the case!!

Jane states he"chose to be a heterosexual guy because that's what my DNA dictates and my nurture dictates that I am."

APING AROUND

In Rise of the POA, Jamie Cakes' character Will Rodman was supposed to die.

Above, the original script details Rodman's demise.

The director and the studio decided at the last minute to save Franco's character.

The Playlist reports:

Fox’s president of post-production, Ted Gagliano, revealed that Will Rodman, the human lead of the film, as played by James Franco, was only saved from death by reshoots that took place only a month before the film hit theaters.

Gagliano explained that initially, director Rupert Wyatt and the scriptwriters planned for Rodman to die at the conclusion of the film’s final setpiece, but was reprieved at the last minute, with Franco and Andy Serkis being called back for reshoots over the Fourth of July weekend. Given the heavy visual effects elements, this added fresh headaches for a film that was already on a tight schedule: the movie was set to open at Thanksgiving, but was moved to August less than six months before the fact.

Indeed, the draft of the script we have, by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, dated January 2010, confirms that Will died saving Caesar’s life in the final forest showdown...

...[Fox] decided they’d rather keep their star alive , to keep a human lead about for future films.
