My personal #TheOdyssey odyssey on Thursday: Immersed myself in the first 2:00 PM showing of the film at my local @Cinepolis Cinemas USA, travelled home & then went live to represent Rentrak Movies with the great @amritsingh on @SpecNews1SoCal #InsideTheIssues to discuss my impressions of the movie which as you will see I absolutely loved. We then talk about the brilliance of director #ChristopherNolan and his name as a brand synonymous with epic moviegoing experiences plus the unparalleled impact of and singular nature of seeing @odysseymovie on the big screen. I even found a way to work in a #SteelyDan reference as related to the film. @UniversalPics #Rentrak #RentrakIsBack @IMAX

BREAKING: For the first time, AG Bonta provides detail on what it would take for California to settle its action to block the Paramount-WBD merger. Bonta sketches out some of the "structural remedies" he'd consider:

"Will we have a discussion and be open to good faith sincere overtures by Paramount Warner Bros about structural remedies? Of course we'll consider those..."

I ask what those structural remedies would be:

"Keeping different corporate entities separate. For example keeping Paramount+ and HBO Max separate. Taking a suite of cable channels they own — they'll own 50 if they merge — taking a suite of those channels and rolling them off and making them independent."

I also asked what Bonta's position is on the role CNN plays as a deal asset:

"Would we consider a roll off and
independence of CNN as part of a broader set of structural remedy proposals? Of course we'd consider it. It's not a priority for us. It doesn't address the three markets we set forth in our complaint."

Paramount and Warners are promising more movies in theatres if their merger goes through. They say this would be *good for theatrical. Why isn't California AG Rob Bonta buying it? Here Bonta calls it an "unenforceable, empty, self-serving promise."

Next: Bonta's first words on whether he'd consider settling the suit - and under what conditions.

Is Paramount’s $110 billion merger with WBD bad for competition? Or the only way to survive streaming companies like Netflix? California Attorney General Rob Bonta says it’s bad, and streaming isn’t relevant to how he defines competition. Bonta joined me to discuss his lawsuit to block the merger, and more.

Full interview, including what a settlement to this legal challenge could look like (detailing “structural remedies”), here:

Great joining @amritsingh on @SPECNewsSoCal1 's Inside the Issues discussing California's partnership with @AnthropicAI , AI in government, workforce transformation, and why AI should augment—not simply replace—human expertise.

The future belongs to organizations that combine human judgment with AI.

A busy day for the Supreme Court - with rulings from the justices on grace periods for mail-in ballots and executive authority. Breaking it down with @amritsingh for our @SpecNews1SoCal viewers:

[Amrit Singh @amritsingh]

What a perfect way to show my daughter my beloved birth city 🧡💙 I tell Love all the time, “do a bit every day, and watch the magic come your way.” NYC taught me that. But the Knicks DID THAT. This run!

The Knicks’ results were in the doing. Their magic was in the believing. Today was pure happiness because it was a parade of magical belief. Belief you could do pull-ups on traffic-light poles. Belief you could saunter down storied streets belonging to cars, not ticker tape and human feet. Belief one day you could see the resolution and release of decades of dreams.

I’ve thought about Jalen Brunson saying “You’re allowed to think about the worst case scenario, but you gotta do something about it” every day since we heard him say it. Now Love and I will think about today, whenever a new scenario comes our way.

Thank you Knicks, thank you NYC. Thank you for the magic, thank you for the belief 🧡💙 @nyknicks #knicksin5 #LGK

[Amrit Singh @amritsingh]

Why yes, yes I *have thought about this every day since I heard Brunson say it

Go New York Go New York Go

[Amrit Singh @amritsingh]

understand this now, hard to imagine how much more I will understand it when 85 (but then, that’s the spirit of this beautifully articulated insight). the paradox of time and life

[Chris Willman @ChrisWillman]

Bob Dylan in the NYT today, in a piece where artists in their 80s were asked to describe the best and worst parts of being that age, and whether they had advice for the president on his reaching the milestone. (Dylan apparently passed on the final question, not surprisingly.)

[David Aldridge @davidaldridgedc]

In a league of killers, Jalen Brunson is one of the best winners of his generation. He won two chips at Villanova in three years, and he's made the New York Knicks into NBA champions. At 6-foot-1-ish. He's a great, GREAT basketball player.
