Crazy that Gunn became the head of DC because of Trump 1 (criticism of Trump makes troll accounts dig up his old tweets, fired by Disney, offered a job at rival studio) and is now leaving DC because of Trump 2 (Skydance merger that would have been nuked by any other President)

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

James Gunn has made a statement about no longer being co-CEO of DC Studios.

“I will miss the people around me, and I will miss being the co-caretaker of these great characters, but I'm also incredibly relieved and excited to get back to pure filmmaking.”

I love watching documentaries about political campaigns because there is always a shot of office staffers displaying the worst posture of all time

If I was a lame duck President with only two years left in my presidency I would absolutely go nuts giving out the Presidential Medal of Freedom. If I see you on the street and like your jacket, you're getting the Medal. We're gonna give it to every actor who was ever on Mad Men

I desperately need to know who won TCM's "Win Tony Curtis for a day" contest

[Ben Crew @BenjaminCrew1]

Dracula (1931) and Frankenstein (1931) are public domain films in two months and I think it's kind of beautiful that Universal still continues to honor the studio's foundational horror movies with new themed food and scary roller coasters

[Universal Orlando Resort @UniversalORL]

Universal Epic Universe is preparing for its next thrilling addition: an all-new indoor coaster coming to Dark Universe - immersing guests in an all-new story inspired by the Universal Monsters franchise. Construction is underway, with an opening planned in the years ahead.

Complete and total Pete Campbell victory

Asking that Mad Men come back not for a time appropriate follow-up set in the 80s, but a one time November 1st 2026 set special where 92-year-old Pete Campbell rants about Haley Stevens

I'm from Mississippi and for a decade my mom has been telling me she thinks Democrats will do well in the South. Over the past 24 hours, she has genuinely been moving like Gene Hackman in Mississippi Burning

One of the best parts of being a politician is that you can force your music taste onto supporters. Win or lose, I'm walking out to my jazz fusion playlist and we're not leaving until Masayoshi Takanaka comes on

I have already been hitting this pose for lengths previously not thought possible

One of the best examples of healthy studio output was when Burton made Edward Scissorhands at Fox one year after Batman with Warners. Feels impossible now, like you may get a weird original greenlit after your successful blockbuster but it'll be cooking for years between films

Bonus THERE'S SOMETHING ON THE WING Gremlin

"Don, what did you ever do that was so bad?"
"I ate all my candy. I let down my trick-or-treaters. I took another man's Halloween costume and made... nothing of it."

[Ben Crew @BenjaminCrew1]

"Mrs. Draper? What the hell are you doing? Mrs. Draper!"

[Ben Crew @BenjaminCrew1]

We also did some costumes that don't require watching 7 seasons of Mad Men to get.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!

[Ben Crew @BenjaminCrew1]

My 31 horror reads for October. Happy Halloween everybody!

I do want to add that TCM is the best channel on TV and I adore all of the hosts. The TCM originals that they directly produce always have zero AI and are spectacular. The ones for Halloween have been perfect. I think airing a doc that used AI is an outlier for the channel.

[Ben Crew @BenjaminCrew1]

TCM just aired a Vincent Price documentary that included AI slop, please can we draw the line somewhere? Is there no place we get to escape it?

[Ben Crew @BenjaminCrew1]

Unironically, this is how Mad Men ends

for halloween ill be okay

The course of world history would be different if Al Gore had won in 2000 but, even more important than that, America would have had its first "Halloween President"

[Ben Crew @BenjaminCrew1]

If I was president I would 100% lose my party the midterms because I'm too busy being locked in decorating the White House for Halloween. My opponents would say "All the president cares about is his scary animatronics" and they'd be right.
