“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”

David Zaslav will make nearly $660 million if Netflix's deal to acquire Warner Bros. closes, according to CNBC.

Add that to his $470 million in compensation since 2019, and the king of failing up is about to be a billionaire.

It is the same colours as the Netflix logo, so the synergy would be nice
Look, Netflix can go and do whatever they like with Warner Bros, just as long as they bring back this logo:

It's good this, so far. It's Halo but with puzzles.

Looks gorgeous.

I dunno. It's getting towards the end of the year. My brain is broken, I don't even know what I'm watching anymore or why.
December 5, 2025 at 2:35 PM
That really is the best we can all hope for.

You don't need to subscribe to any streaming services.

Just saying.

The hold Israel has over everything, including entertainment, feels unreal.

They kicked Russia out of Eurovision but Israel are allowed to stay?

One Battle After Another is a perfectly fine film.

But it really does baffle me that it has become the biggest awards contender and is considered film of the year by many of the big cultural publications.

If anyone else had directed it, I can't see it being part of the conversation.

It's amazing how many of the top films of 2025 aren't released until 2026, or don't have any UK distribution at all.
And the winner is… ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER

Paul Thomas Anderson’s incendiary portrait of modern America has been voted best film of 2025 by our critics

No good will come of this.

But I also don't think the nightmare scenarios some people are talking about will come to pass either.

WB, in terms of films, makes too much money, they've had an insanely good year at the box office. Netflix won't throw away billions of dollars. It's not good business.
Netflix has made the highest bid to buy Warner Bros so far.

I haven't seen a single person agree with what Tarantino said. Not one.

Because even if they did, most people wouldn't say it, because it's the nasty statement of a bully and nothing more.
'The Batman 2' co-writer Mattson Tomlin is 'pleased' to see so many people cheer for Paul Dano after Quentin Tarantino said his acting in 'There Will Be Blood' is 'weak sauce'

"Not only is he a terrific actor, but he's an astonishing director who exudes control and tremendous empathy"

I really want to watch Superman again.

But rules are rules. Even with the 4K disc sitting only a few feet away. Rules are rules.

I've kinda given up on comics in recent years. It's been impossible to keep up so I just stopped pretty much, huge gaps between trades has killed many for me.

But the Absolute range has been fantastic so far and I cannot wait to start this.

I imagine being an actor requires you to have pretty thick skin and you can usually ignore stuff like this, but it can't be nice for Dano to hear something like this from someone as respected as Tarantino.

It's a real dickhead thing to say.
Quentin Tarantino says 'There Will Be Blood' had a chance to be his greatest film of the 21st century if it didnt have Paul Dano in it

"it’s supposed to be a two-hander, but ... [Dano] is weak sauce, man ... He’s just such a weak, weak, uninteresting guy. The weakest fucking actor in SAG [laughs]"
