Michelle Yeoh has revealed the reason why she wasn’t part of Quentin Tarantino‘s Kill Bill, despite the fact that her role in Police Story 3 was the one that “motivated Uma Thurman during the filming” of the famed movie. In her recent Town & Country cover story, she explained that she actually asked the filmmaker why she wasn’t cast in Kill Bill. “He’s very smart,” Yeoh shared, “He said, ‘Who would believe that Uma Thurman could kick your ass?’” The actress added that Tarantino was a driving force in her decision to go back to acting, calling him “persistent” and adding, “He is who he is today because he’s full of passion and love, so he wore me down.” She opted to retire in the mid-90s due to a fractured vertebrae from a stunt, explaining that she thought she was paralyzed, in a ...

While many might be attracted to Netflix‘s upcoming ad-supported subscription tier due to its supposedly more affordable pricing, it now appears that there are more restrictions to it than the company has revealed so far. In a new report from Bloomberg, app developer Steve Moser found code embedded within the Netflix iPhone app that seemingly blocks users from downloading shows and movies for offline viewing. Limiting the feature could be a significant factor for new users, especially when you’re hoping to watch something while there’s no reception, perhaps during flights or in certain subway systems. Moser also found that you won’t be able to access playback controls during ads either, meaning there’s no way to skip them. The revelation comes shortly after Netflix’s co-CEO and chief ...
