Who decided to remove “BORN TO KILL?” Not only did they alter a piece of iconic art by Philip Castle, but they completely misunderstood the point of it being there. Pvt. Joker wears the helmet with “BORN TO KILL” and the peace ☮️ button as a statement about “the duality of man.”

RIP Val Kilmer. If it wasn't for our chance encounter at the Source in 1985, I may never have been cast in FULL METAL JACKET. Thanks, Val. 🙏☮️

Every so often a person comes along that defies all definition. They’re a wonderful mystery. Sometimes they go digging within themselves attempting to discover something hidden inside — and then discover something magical — which they keep private. Diane was like that. All that and more — all packaged behind her gorgeous smile, razor sharp wit, and deliciously infectious laugh. God speed, sister. #RIPDianeKeaton #DianeKeaton #MrsSoffel

Devastated to learn about the passing of my friend, Fred Ward. I had the absolute pleasure of working with this wonderful man in Robert Altman’s Shortcuts and Alan Rudolph’s Equinox. A tough facade covering emotions as deep as a the Pacific Ocean. Godspeed amigo. ❤️💛🙏🏽✌🏽

For the record, I agree, #FullMetalJacket is a great film and R. Lee Ermey was amazing, but he might have punched the orange man in the nose for disrespecting Americans who gave their lives so that the nation might live.

.@danawhite Thank you so much for your deep understanding and appreciation of VISION QUEST. It’s a huge part of my life and contributed so much to my personal character. The ultimate wrestling match is with ourselves, right? How far are we willing to push ourselves to achieve a goal? What life lessons do we learn along the way. Louden Swain definitely helped me become a better human being. I’m glad he - and the movie - has so positively inspired and impacted people the world over. What could be better than that!
Dana White explains why Vision Quest is the most underrated movie of all time

Have we completely lost our ability to be kind and open with individuals with whom we may disagree?

Millie Bobby Brown is reported to be under a separate “lucrative” deal with Netflix.
