Are we REALLY doing a full on “pivot to video”, AGAIN?? Come on y’all… no specific shade to any podcaster, times are tough get paid, it’s more annoyance that no one in charge has learned any lessons. Still laughing tho that one particular streamer’s “podcast” doesn’t even have an audio-only feed. :/

Someone recently asked me if I had seen Titanique (the Celine Dion/Titanic musical parody) and I thought they meant Titane (the French movie about a woman who gets pregnant from fucking a car). I NEARLY made an absolute fool of myself :)

Fuck. I know she’s a comedic genius (and my god she was so perfect in The Studio), but the way she lives in my heart because of Home Alone… I’m just devastated. 71 is too young in the year 2026.

Why is no one doing anything, about this or any of the world’s atrocities? Why are the people in power cowards, or the facilitators of this madness? No one is coming to save us. Being a human is a fucking cosmic joke. This is why I retreat into my mind, it’s a universe of existence free of hell.
there are so many gutting stories, but this one is hitting me extra hard. just imagining wael tarabishi slowly dying without his dad there to care for him because he was jailed by ICE makes me…i don’t have words. this country is disgusting.

Generally fine with the noms minus some guffaws, but my main complaint is Sorry, Baby robbed. I’ve said it before, they need a Best First Feature category. There are 10 slots for writers, 10 for actors, 10 for actresses, 10 for producers. It’d boost directors + recognize more interesting filmmakers.

I was in London when Obama was sworn in, and in London once again when Mamdani was sworn in. Next time we need a serious change in leadership let me know and I’ll book a trip.

Some thoughts from being in Berlin a few days: the massive lack of public transportation fare collection + enforcement here would make the MTA officials have a simultaneous stroke + heart attack. I feel like a chump for buying an unlimited week pass (watch, the polizei will stop me on my last day).

The number of tiny children occupying the first class pods on my flight… while I got switched to a non-reclining seat on this red eye… this is my Grinch origin story. My one Christmas wish is finally a redistribution of wealth!

Exclusive. WELL! It was nice being in this biz for as long as I have been. Does this mean that the Oscars broadcast won’t be eligible for Emmys anymore? ;)
LOS ANGELES, CA – The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and YouTube signed a multi-year deal that will give YouTube the exclusive global rights to the Oscars®, beginning in 2029 with the 101st Oscars ceremony and running through 2033.
The Academy took the biggest check.

Thank you @rianjohnson.bsky.social, utter brilliance. I will always love the prequels best because I’m a psycho but this is my next fav of all the films. Operating on another frequency.
STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI was released on this day 8 years ago

Netflix does not need WBD. They don’t need more movies and tv shows, and they don’t better movies and tv shows, since they are the dominant longform streaming platform as is. What they are doing is taking out a competitor, and killing licensing options for their other competitors. Fuck. That. Shit.

Unions, make your voices heard. I know for a fact that you were so loud at Netflix HQ during the strikes that you annoyed the shit out of the employees in the office, so let them hear it again.
All media mergers end up hurting writers, actors, directors, and everyone else who works in the industry. Executives, assistants, caterers, teamsters, everyone. Fewer companies means fewer jobs, period.
