A lot of discourse to say the least of Timmy as Dylan and Monica as Joan but honestly I’m willing to scroll past most of it and wait until the film comes out.

I’m not a fan of, and don’t trust Zaslav… but Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy - who are head of WBD film division and also overseeing TCM catalog (they used to run MGM) - have been working overtime to sign deals with a variety of people for theatrical - Michael B Jordan and Ryan Coogler, Tom Cruise’s strategic partnership, a two picture deal with Rian Johnson and Ram Bergman’s T-Street, and now Timothee. Seems promising and maybe they’ll eventually push out Zaslav.

Zaslav won't go until the stockholders push him out, and he's approved every deal they've made. They don't have autonomy. He's still the boss.

Favorite Dylan song…
Way to many but let’s see…

Abandoned Love
Cry a while
Long and wasted years

I was a major Dylan fan but a few years ago allegations came out that he raped a then 12yo and I kinda just dropped him that day.

I saw the case was dropped not because his lawyers pressured her but because she was being super shady, not turning over evidence.

So idk! I kinda think I’m ready to listen again, his music means so much to me.

But this movie does not look good I’m sorry lol

[sibylblack]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was disproven.
