I would find the book infinitely more charming if the illustrations were of potato people! Gavin Giroux knew what he was doing when he made that homemade calendar. The kids have the ability.
Someone tell me if I’m over the line: I think it’s pretty lame that the Sens called in a kid who “wrote” an “illustrated” book with AI to drop the puck on mental health as if the words really mean anything or that it’s any kind of accomplishment.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

In middle of nowhere Newfoundland. Cancelled flight. No communication from Porter when I will be off this rock. Barely slept waiting for any kind of call. Going to the airport where I have no idea if there will be an agent available. I have never felt more like this guy.

Only caught tail end of WJC game today but how empty that arena was must be indicative of the Canada-US tourism drop right? I feel like in real life not batshit times Canadians would fill that place up.

I get it BlueSky, the game awards and Geoff Keighley are vapid and an exercise in consumerism. But it’s nice to see these people who never get recognized get applauded by hundreds/thousands of people. And dang it I like seeing what some studios are up to.

The whole point of Barbenheimer is people just wanted to go out and do things and be with others. If you deliberately kill theatres, the next Barbenheimer won’t be in your streaming service. It’ll be somewhere outside.
Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos says BARBIE and OPPENHEIMER would have been just as big on Netflix.
“There’s no reason to believe that the movie itself is better in any size of screen for all people. My son’s an editor, he watched ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ on his phone.”
