Not how I expected him to come back but okay.

@nanglish Right but what were your headline notes on those games?

[Daniel Powell @danieljpowell]

@nanglish Game notes?

[Daniel Powell @danieljpowell]

@LenaRockerHall @roywoodjr They should certainly be considering Michelle Wolf if she’s interested

[Daniel Powell @danieljpowell]

What exactly does @roywoodjr have to do to get this job? Showing unflinching loyalty to the show and being one of the funniest people alive isn’t enough?

Comedy Central is going back to square one in its efforts to find a new host for #TheDailyShow after Hasan Minhaj's recent controversy.

Minhaj was previously a leading candidate. He remains in the mix of people being considered to replace Trevor Noah. https://t.co/ytxV65tcr2

Is losing 300-500 million to avoid paying 60 million to writers & actors a smart business strategy? I'm conflicted. https://t.co/e3DA1eC3bt

@ruleof3inc In terms of probabilities, it’s significantly more likely the government fabricated evidence of extra-terrestrials and it fooled some govt employees.

What I find most interesting about the “Barbenheimer” phenomenon is that the media initially framed the release date as a competition, but the fan community turned it into a friendly joint marketing movement that benefited both films.

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

Lena Hall says all of the series regulars for ‘SNOWPIERCER’ Season 4 had to do a “full body scan and full range of emotion capture” without telling them why.

“NOW I know why and it's really disturbing because I didn't consent.”

@DEADLINE Delete this and repost it with the full accurate context

[B N @BisHilarious]

Can’t believe the AMPTP told a bunch of actors they’re not special and thought it would go over well

[Daniel Powell @danieljpowell]

From 2011-2015, Viacom (now Paramount Global) spent 15 billion dollars on stock buybacks that are now worth less than 4 billion. The 11+ billion they flushed down the toilet could have paid for the WGA’s current contractual requests for *37 YEARS*

[Daniel Powell @danieljpowell]

For context: 200 million is roughly the annual deficit between what the WGA asked for and what the studios offered (and that amount would have been divided between all 8 studios, whereas this loss is borne entirely by Warner.)

[Daniel Powell @danieljpowell]

The AMPTP couldn’t have handled this worse. Their arrogance with the WGA only emboldened SAG. If they’d accepted the WGA’s terms they’d probably have deals with all 3 unions today. Instead, they are going to feel financial pain that far outweighs what they were asked to concede.

@BrianStack153 This reminds me that the cover of this song by the Ataris replaced “Deadhead sticker” with “Black Flag sticker”

[Christopher Miller @chrizmillr]

This is not a tease for a new Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.
It is simply a reminder that film and television are a collaborative medium, made by the creative work of a LOT of people, not just the vision of one singular person, or a handful of people inputting prompts to AI.

[Daniel Powell @danieljpowell]

@AaronTheH @SusanArendt I understand the sentiment but Quibi’s deal structure let the artists retain ownership of their work. I know that platform has become a punchline, but they were trying things that could have set strong precedents for WGA members.

[Daniel Powell @danieljpowell]

@Chazraps I don’t know the precise financial details of that franchise but I wouldn’t be surprised. Or at least a similar setup. Obviously the idea that it’s not profitable is ludicrous, they wouldn’t make 3 sequels of a financial liability.

[Daniel Powell @danieljpowell]

If you are curious about a way Hollywood hits that make WAY more than they cost still somehow “lose” money, thus denying profit participation to the creators, here’s one: (🧵…)
