  • 😳 I didn't know of this artist, @mtm .... but wow... Am I imagining an Amy Winehouse vibe in the top video (mixed with enough of her own style)? She also has a classic-swing-jazz sound that I really dig!! I have no idea about her popularity, but …

  • Oh boy… so according to you OTT stunts make a film less grounded (or less exciting)? And what stunts in OP are deemed too over the top, @DEKE_RIVERS ?
