Dakota Johnson: 'Sex scenes are not sexy'
Dakota Johnson has insisted sex scenes are "not sexy". During an interview on Amy Poehler's Good Hang podcast, the actress discussed working with an intimacy coordinator for the first time on a recent film. Dakota described the experience as "cool" and insisted it made her feel far more relaxed when it came to shooting intimate scenes. "She was really great," Dakota shared as she discussed the intimacy coordinator. "It was so cool because I'm so used to - you know, it's a sex scene. It's not sexy. It doesn't feel good." Dakota famously appeared in the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise, which featured a host of intimate scenes, but didn't work with an intimacy coordinator for the trilogy. Elsewhere in the interview, the 35-year-old Materialists star talked through how she prepares herself mentally for sex scenes. "First, I think it depends on, who is the character, and who is the character supposed to be to the audience," Johnson explained. "Is she a super idolised hot girl? Is she a housewife? Is she lonely? Is she scared? Is she conservative?" Dakota also shared how her mother Melanie Griffith played an integral role in her self-confidence when she was growing up. "I want to feel good in my body if I'm showing my body," she explained. "My mom raised me to be really, really proud of my body and love my body. So, I've always felt so grateful for that, especially in my work because I can use it and it feels real."

Revisiting the artistic revolution taking place in a small town in North Carolina
We noticed back in March that visionary artist and entrepreneur, Tyler 'Ty Bru' Brueilly was in the midst of carrying the entire small town on his back in attempts to usher the community into a more contemporary era of art and entertainment, in particular with his Mightier Than The Sword Awards at Sunset Film Festival, which is the city's very first Film Festival of any February and fresh off his second annual aforementioned film festival, we were able to speak with him at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood following his premiere of 'Shucks' and he didn't show any hesitation with the love and passion he has for, Asheboro, North Carolina. 'I was born there, and I've spent over thirty years there and I've always been frustrated with the lack of options in our scene since a kid and it's not really had any breakthrough in that matter. I'm not saying it needs to be Hollywood by any means, but it's in desperate need to have constant and consistent options for art and entertainment lovers.' Brueilly states. Brueilly has really been focusing on using the 20 year milestone of founding Mightier Than The Sword Records as a catalyst to provide a four day festival in May at the historic Sunset Theatre as well as monthly events and meetings within likeminded individuals in the area in hopes to cultivate this 'artistic revolution' he has been spearheading. 'In 2025, we've been holding monthly 'First Friday Fashion & Photography' and 'Third Thursday Thinktanks' and in May, we added 'Mighty Mondays' each focusing on our community by aligning the many facets of art and entertainment I have extensive experiences in, with the deep hope that it inspires others to stay right here in Asheboro and fight for places, spaces and stages to showcase their creations, that's a bar right there though.'

Dakota Johnson slams Hollywood bosses: Too focused on 'remaking the same things'
Dakota Johnson thinks Hollywood is in a "bit of a mess" because studios want to focus on remakes and sequels. The Materialists actress suggested people making decisions in the industry "don't know anything" about movies and just want to capitalise on the success of one project, rather than taking a risk and offering audiences "fresh" new stories. Appearing on YouTube series Hot Ones, host Sean Evans asked her why she feels 'Hollywood is so risk-averse,' as someone who has seen the industry 'up close and personal.' She said: 'I think it's hard when creative decisions are made by committee and it's hard when creative decisions are made by people who don't even really watch movies or know anything about them, and that tends to be what's occurring a lot. "When something does well, studios want to keep that going so they remake the same things, but humans don't want that. They want fresh, they want to feel new things, experience new things, see new things, so I don't know, I guess it's all just a bit of a mess right now, isn't it?' Dakota recently insisted her film Madam Web's poor performance wasn't her fault because the film - in which she played Cassie Web, a paramedic who develops psychic abilities following an accident - had "turned into something else" after she signed up for the project. She told the Los Angeles Times newspaper: 'It wasn't my fault. There's this thing that happens now where a lot of creative decisions are made by committee. Or made by people who don't have a creative bone in their body. And it's really hard to make art that way. Or to make something entertaining that way. 'And I think unfortunately with Madame Web, it started out as something and turned into something else. And I was just sort of along for the ride at that point. But that happens. Bigger-budget movies fail all the time.' Dakota insisted she doesn't "have a Band-Aid over it" and isn't too worried about the experience. She said: 'There's no part of me that's like, 'Oh, I'll never do that again' to anything. I've done even tiny movies that didn't do well. Who cares?' Dakota previously suggested she wouldn't make another superhero film following her experience on Madame Web. She told Bustle: 'I had never done anything like it before. I probably will never do anything like it again because I don't make sense in that world. And I know that now. 'Sometimes in this industry, you sign on to something, and it's one thing and then as you're making it, it becomes a completely different thing, and you're like, 'Wait, what?' "But it was a real learning experience, and of course it's not nice to be a part of something that's ripped to shreds, but I can't say that I don't understand.'
