MY THOUGHTS
the one word I didn't see in the post or comments is experience and that to me is the point cruise made to cavill. you can be young and studied but you need experience for these stunts. Jackie chan nor Tom cruise jumped off of buildings in the new first of fury or risky business... they both grew through experience, yes training, yes studying, yes conditioning, but experience matters and to me that is the source of cruise's statement to cavill. has cavill really had stunt experience to build up to a drop of the height mentioned? I recall Keannu reeves saying, with each john wick film he gets better. yes, training, yes studying, but experience is a great thing and I argue the greatest to know yourself. And experience doesn't require books or teachers, it requires opportunity. And yes opportunity to fail, but whether you succeed or fail you will learn. And to the care to the film or the collective art project and the various people paying their rent through it, I think Cruise has more experience than most in producing/directing/starring/preproduction preparing a movie to be made in the usa that has stunts that insurance companies detest. I am not suggesting a calamity can't happen. Highly Experienced stunt workers always get killed or badly injured in the history of film making. But I think cruise's experience should be treated with confidence. Ray Harryhausen's finest film is arguably clash of the titans and yet, he has decades of experience to build that film . Experience isn't some safety net. No. All things are possible in nature no matter how well anyone prepares. History proves that. But experience has great value and cruise has that and his comments to cavill prove he thinks cavill needs more experience, which is a very responsible thing to display.
ARTICLE EXCERPT
On the set of Mission: Impossible – Fallout, Henry Cavill was eager to prove himself by performing the jaw-dropping HALO jump stunt alongside Tom Cruise. But when Cavill asked to jump from 25,000–30,000 feet, Cruise looked him straight in the eye and said, “Henry, I know exactly how you feel,” before firmly warning, “I can’t let you do it.” The reason? The stunt demanded specific, intense training, and one wrong move could have been fatal—for both of them. Cavill reluctantly backed down, joking, “I was like ‘OK, fine. I’ll sit this one out, Mr. Cruise.’” Curious how Cruise’s dedication sets the bar for Hollywood stunts? Click to read more!

‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Flopped at the Box Office, but It’s Breaking Records on Streaming Platforms
I think what this shows is the theater business model is in trouble.
I quote the article
Even though the film did not perform well in theaters, it’s finding new life on streaming. On Disney+, Captain America: Brave New World has stayed in the Top 10 in the U.S. for an impressive 56 days straight.
This information was reported recently and shows that people are still interested in the movie, just mostly after it hits streaming platforms.
This trend isn’t too surprising. Superhero movies still have big audiences, but lately many fans prefer to wait for them to be available at home. Streaming services like Disney+ make it easy to watch these films over and over, which can give movies a second chance after a slow theater run.

Superman and why theaters are dead

MY COMMENT
thank you, I said it for years. When theaters were taken from the film studios that was when theaters went on this road. Theaters originally were owned by the film studios so that they were like the streaming services studios own today. Because theaters are separate financial entities, as well as cable/t.v./blue ray - dvd, I think studios see a return to their era when they owned theaters, so they had all the profits, and the rest can get lean. 18:06 thank you
Apple doesn't own the theater. It has been discussed but it hasn't happened. One thing you missed is how from when the film studios owned theaters to today, the quantity of theaters has lessened. In NYC many many theaters closed from the past to now. And that matters in that, who is going to go miles to a theater. A movie theater must be local, it is an offline business. With so many movie theaters closed or closing, many people don't live near a theater which ends their viability.

my comment
You saw it coming:)
I enjoyed listening to a black womens voice speak of Shannon's dialog:)
Exactly, from white written "Immitation of Life" to Black written " Devil in a blue dress" by walter Mosely or even better "Passing" by Nella Larsen or some short stories from her friend plus fellow mulatta Alice Dunbar Nelson, female mullatoes biggest attraction to most men in the United States of America historically is their bodies. The white man fetishes the black he abuses. The black man fetishes the white he wants to abuse. Both men are in denial to their passions. The woman true self is iirelevant. And it is interesting that Zora Neale Hurston + Nella Larsen + Alice Nelson who in my opinion are all great writers, but whose literary works were chastised by black male writers when originally published for having opinions different than them. Zora Neale Hurston to her view of the Southern Black town, while Larsen or Nelson to their view of the Black populace pertaining to colorism and the role of the Black women whether dark as the night or undeniably yella.
8:04 Yes, many black people , especially DOSers as James Baldwin said of his father, hate whites, heaven for them is absent white people, their public vision of jesus. It is a deep hatred that has only manifested for most black people privately.
9:16 exactly, the whole point of MeToo was from Black Women to say that they are not getting the same legal or media treatment as white women in similar scenarios and this scenario with Shannon sharp is the proof MeToo's original short term goal, to get attention to legal affairs and media inequally treating black women with the long term goal of Black women being treated equally to white women, is far from coming to pass.
11:48 You have such a serious tone in this video , correctly, so but I did love when you let an accent out to emphasize Shannon needed the village to step in:)
Plus your correct, the great Bill Russell once said, that Black Athletes are pampered , they have not lived regular lives. So add the common Black inner dislikes to whites and men's desire to have a weaker person to abuse which is commonly a female to the life of an athlete and... danger.
I end with, you have very pretty hair, face... and body:)
