For now, the small movement wants HBO Max, where viewers can see the “Allen v. Farrow” docuseries, to erase the six Allen films currently available on the service. The HBO docuseries could gather cultural momentum, though, and the same actors who fear speaking out against Cancel Culture likely won’t stand up for Allen’s work should it vanish from streaming platforms.
“SNL” Called Trump Fans Nazis, Clutches Pearls Over Carano’s Nazi Analogy

Why Won’t Disney+ Cancel Bette Midler?

Clueless Washington Post Urges Hollywood to Push Vaccines
The worst thing Hollywood could do is to shoot a smug, repetitive PSA telling us to take the vaccine. The proposal for ex-presidents — Bush, Obama and Clinton — to take the test together as a sign of good faith is far more beneficial. The only way a celebrity PSA might work is if a very select group of stars anchored the cause such as: Dolly Parton, Chris Pratt, Kevin Hart and Gal Gadot.
