Jacob Misiorowski loved the 8-run Brewers inning!

hahahahahaha.....hahahahahaha... ...but isn't Musk buying into Skydance? Ugh, now I wonder if some AI slop will part of the promised 30 films per year.

Just catching up with this. Interesting argument that the next media battle won't be over IP libraries but the depth of relationships viewers have with that IP. In short, dedicated fanbases will be the terrain to conquer.

Still miss the iPod classic!

Wow, Comcast may lay off even more than Netflix. And to think they made a run at Warner Bros.

I'm still surprised the Christians aren't up in arms over this like they've been about books...yet, it's been a while since they protested Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ. movieweb.com/the-devils-a...

Note: TikTok - 15% owned by Musk pal Larry Ellison - permanently banned our "Musk" the movie account on the platform. www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

Happy 85th birthday this week to Wonder Woman.

One theory I have about a Film/TV Production Head that I would argue applies basically since 2010 or so is your job is mostly a balance between "Talent Management" and "IP Management" and not much else. Netflix isn't really heavy on on IP, which means it's almost a lot of Talent Management. Anyways,

"While Rambling Reporter can’t definitively confirm the online rumors about how the film is chock-full of offensive anti-immigration agitprop — it’s not hard to imagine Stephen Miller in the front row, hugging a big bucket of popcorn." 😂

Makes me wonder if he wishes he stayed the course on the Warner acquisition. All the talk of "nice to have but not must have" looks, now, to be a bluff.

This book captures so much of what I’ve been feeling for years. The boomers screwed us and continue to do so. 9/11 changed so much more than we know. And I’m only a quarter of the way through…

Hmmm...interesting to see what they play will be here. Even if Legendary lands Lionsgate, will the goal be to become a competitive independent? Something like Carolco or Orion back in the day?

One of my first semesters teaching, I had a student who was related to him. That's how I learned he was from a little berg outside of Milwaukee where I was born - Menomonee Falls.

“Hollywood is a complete and total disaster!” The recent words of President Donald Trump to Congress rang loudly on many levels....Hollywood has the power to shape reputations, as on-screen depictions can drive public perceptions. I look at govt pushback against anti-Nazi films in Made by History

Eager to see Artificial as it seems to take all of the right shots, much like David Fincher's The Social Network did 16 years ago (!!!)

Had some fun playing around with the best opening scenes in movie history. An impossible task, but here are my favorites that I've often used or discussed in class over the years. movieweb.com/movies-great...

I had such a blast presenting at the @mpcaaca conference last weekend. My MPCA Featured Speaker Presentation entitled: "How the Academy Awards Transformed Popular Culture." www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAyk...

A pamphlet from 1923 asks if anything good can come out of Hollywood. The industry is branded as “the graveyard of virtue” but the publication seeks to show the world that there are good Christians in the area despite the moral crusades against the movies.

Cool to see that this column has been featured all day at MovieWeb. What happened to the great Hollywood studios is a great question. Here's my stab at an answer...

The midterms won't be the only bloodbath this fall... www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Original THR review: "Almost from the beginning, you can feel your stomach muscles tightening because you’re afraid of missing something, and as the movie goes along, you can sense the audience sliding forward in their seats, straining to catch every detail."

So, what are the odds that Boy Ellison is too far underwater financially and Netflix or someone else swoops in before this time next year? CC: @marytylerless.bsky.social

It's worth noting that the Warner Bros. lot, I'm told, is full of productions and humming along nicely. Every time I've been on the lot in recent years I see a flurry of activity, which is great. Let's hope that continues!

Obituary by the wonderful Aljean Harmetz who is gladly still with us.

A MAGA relative once told me "nobody is banning books." Needless to say, I've mostly blacklisted that relative.
