Not a big fan of Apple TV+ but Scorsese is one of my favourite directors. Can't wait to see what comes of this.

Seems to be a lot of comments like yours on all of these deal/contract-related articles. “I’m not a fan, but....”

And that’s exactly what Apple wants Lol. They have a TON of talent onboard and I think this pandemic has tapped into a lot of people’s creativity. Apple TV+ is going to get better and better.

Planting the seeds.

God bless the internet.

Are you willing to give him some valuable tips?
