It's show time, folks. (retweets can mean anything from an endorsement to “can you believe this f***ing idiot?”)

2000+ interviews

Starting Oct 19, the Trump administration is rolling back Biden-era airline passenger protections, and airlines will no longer have to provide stranded passengers with meals, hotels, or other assistance for delays or cancellations.

It’s like they sit around the DOJ trying to come up with ways to attack the constitution.

“That’s $139 billion in grosses across 224 titles and more than 100 potential or continuing “franchises.””

Oh... and this thing where we are buying Russian diesel... bad enough... but if we are buying Russian diesel to lower prices here and he is squealing like a stuck pig about how Zelensky harmed America by bombing Russian diesel refineries.. where is this diesel coming from? Makes zero sense.

[David Poland @DavidPoland]

Trump blaming Zelensky for the price of diesel fuel is another deeply embarrassing moment for America on the world stage, as Trump gets on his knees and services Putin in his desperate effort to make up for his unmitigated failure, both in our support of Ukraine and in his foolish actions which have led to huge spikes on fuel prices.

I’m sick of tweeting about this administration.

Trump’s last 2 years ARE on the ballot. The 70% of Americans who don’t approve have to vote. And they have to vote against their local habits in many cases.

If not, these last 2 years will be supersized for 2 more, the rich will get much richer, the middle class will be destroyed, and the efforts to stop legitimate elections and representational government will be cemented in.

The way WB needs to go at this now is to build on the below the line. It is a serious candidate for nomination in every 1 of 9 btl categories.

[Peter Avellino @PeterAPeel]

Tom Cruise should keep on pushing this, do multiple Q&As at screenings for Academy & Guild members and get this thing to 12 Oscar nominations.

[David Poland @DavidPoland]

@EDouglasWW Yes. And they measured what CinemaScore measures… disappointment based on false expectations going into the opening night. Almost nothing else.

Dame Vanessa Redgrave receives a standing ovation as she makes a surprise appearance, joining the audience for a screening of the 35mm restored director’s cut of Ken Russell’s 1971 film THE DEVILS at #LFF

.@realDonaldTrump you get the Nobel Prize for being trash.

We went through this with CG/CGI. And the tech, albeit on a smaller scale, didn’t take long to get to the indie film level.

In all things moderation.

But Barry’s suggestion that they stop talking about it like they’ve struck oil makes a lot of sense.

[Barry Hertz @HertzBarry]

Likes of DuVernay, Affleck and Boyle proudly using AI suggests ever-gaping disconnect between filmmakers and audiences that goes beyond tech itself and points to fundamental ignorance. Vast majority of us don't want this shit. Stop doing it. And certainly stop boasting about it.

Historically, anyone who was as obsessed with “boys playing girls sports” as the Trump Right is would simply be assumed to be overcompensating for their closeted status.

[David Poland @DavidPoland]

Wow. Out of breath just listening to him. But he has been through a lot of history. Listen. Absorb. Consider.

After a really rough miss, this looks like a big, fat, terrifying hit.

Skydance stock stabilizing today after taking hits the last couple days. But the concern remains that it could, like WBD was, be stuck here for a while.
