Already sat through my first (of many I assume) debates on this before a screening the other night. There's plenty of debate. But it's gonna be a long season.

I am trying to remember the last year where one film was so openly (and almost unanimously) called BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR so early in the year? Anyone?

I sat down with Sean Penn to talk about ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER. It was a surreal day -- we met on the day after Charlie Kirk was killed, and the movie is about political violence. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station.
