Has everyone seen all the photos we have from Midas man, cause....um...I can't figure out who is who just by looking at them and it just....the hair!
Enjoy the incredible disaster.
I feel bad for Brian. I know he's dead but I still feel bad for him. This movie can't possibly be good.

From an interview with actor Darci Shaw, who has a role in the upcoming Brian Epstein biopic, Midas Man:
‘Your latest project is Midas Man – a film based on the life of The Beatles’ legendary manager, Brian Epstein. Were you eager to get involved given your Liverpool roots?
I loved The Beatles growing up and my family always had their music on in the house, so I knew I had to be involved when the audition came around. The film is set inn the 1950’s/60’s and I play Sonia Seligson, a middle-class Jewish woman who meets Brian because of a family arrangement.
I’m platinum blonde in it! Thankfully it’s just a wig though, so my hair is damage free.
Initially, I thought I’d be talking in a Scouse accent but they wanted me to use a neutral one instead. Sonia’s characterisation is in stark contrast to someone like Jesse, who I played in The Irregulars a while ago. I always had mud in my nails and my costumes were ripped as it was set in a poverty-stricken society. Sonia is certainly a more glamorous character but I try not to think too much into it and go onto the set with an open mind.’
Sonia Seligson and Brian dated for a short spell when they were teenagers. Pictured here:

From The Beatles: All These Years:
“In 1954-5, Brian dated Sonia Seligson, a 16-year-old Jewess he met through amateur dramatics. She shared his love of the threatre and they went also to dinner-dances, ballet and classical concerts; she was very much taken by his immaculate manners, finely tailored clothes and desire for everything fine, but less so his drinking - on the one occasion he proposed marriage, she felt sure it was the alcohol talking. The question fell flat and wasn’t revived. Sonia was puzzled by Brian’s desire to travel alone - he’d spend weekends in Paris, a particularly exotic custom at this time - and it was only when he finally confessed his ‘other life’ that she realised the weekends were for encounters, and the relationship ended.”
The two kept in touch until 1963, when Sonia last saw Brian in Liverpool before The Beatles reached international stardom.

Since Kojima’s been saying that the Death Stranding film is going to tell a story that can only be told through the film medium, I really hope it’s a prequel to the game. There are a lot of background events represented through text and dialogue that wouldn’t translate well to a video game format on their own.
It’d be really cool to see the start of the Stranding, Victor and Igor’s backstory (as seen in the DS novelization), snippets from Sam’s childhood/early years with Bridges, the development and construction of the chiral network, and most of the events described in Higgs’ journals.
Coffin’s decision to leave her family behind, start a terrorist uprising by radicalizing the porters who unknowingly abetted human sacrifices by delivering BBs for the chiral network, and the decision to adopt Higgs as her protégé? That story alone would be worthy of a film.

Whatever anyone thinks of Midas man, it's a fucking miracle that Brian's actor is Jewish.
I'm so sick of this.

Well, now that Momo has encountered the love of her life…. I’m just gonna place this Custap berry slice in front of the kittens.
I have realized something today.
Midas...
...is a coatimundi.
