Thrilled that THE SECRET AGENT won the Critics Choice award for Best International Film but so disheartened and angry at how it happened. Mendonça Filho and producer Emilie Lesclaux were ambushed on the red carpet, no briefing, no chance of giving a speech, the whole thing an insulting disaster.
Gente? 😵💫 O Critics Choice Award de Melhor Filme Internacional de ‘O Agente Secreto’ foi entregue no carpet, sem qualquer aviso prévio, a Kleber Mendonça Filho e Emilie Lesclaux, produtora do longa.

Hiring Bari Weiss was the first major decision that the Ellisons made after acquiring Paramount. Neither father nor failson should get his hands anywhere near Warner Brothers Discovery.

It's so weird that the "surprise" "vote" happened yesterday but they had the external lettering, tarps, and crew all ready to go.
Breaking News: Workers began adding President Trump’s name to the Kennedy Center, despite no action by Congress to legally rename it. This sparked outrage among the Kennedy family, since it was built to be a living memorial to the 35th president.

One of the great failures of contemporary political news coverage in a lot of media is the unspoken principle that no violation of norms or decency by Trump is really news, worthy of sustained attention, unless it also upsets people who love him. It isn't "not taking the bait"; it's sleepwalking.

Just in case any journalist or editor reading this is tempted to minimize Trump's Reiner post because it's a "showbiz thing" and "real" stories are happening: No. It's a President thing and a decency thing, and if you don't understand that those things are newsworthy, you are failing in your duties.

David Ellison appears to be mortified that CBS/60 Minutes is “going rogue” by covering the news and by keeping him “in the dark” about a segment critical of Trump.
Because Ellison doesn’t realize that’s how it’s supposed to work.

1. This will not "save" WB as a theatrical entity.
2. This would amount to handing over two studios to a right-wing tech billionaire.
3. The argument that this won't monopolize market share is true only bc Paramount does so badly it has no market share! www.nytimes.com/2025/12/08/b...

Irrespective of their release pattern, Netflix in the last year produced or acquired among others Frankenstein, House of Dynamite, Train Dreams, Nouvelle Vague, Jay Kelly, KPop Demon Hunters; WB One Battle After Another, Sinners, Weapons, Mickey 17. Both blow Paramount away.

especially if the rumor that Netflix would get Warner Bros. (the studio) and Comcast would get HBO Max is true. All consolidation is bad, but a right-wing Trump-loving techbro dynasty owning and destroying two of the five remaining major studios is beyond bad.

They will insist that this an overstatement, that this isn't the same as APPROVING conversion therapy, that it's "not what the case is about." But if you are an adult with a functioning moral core, you cannot divorce your actions from their consequences. This will kill kids, period, the end.

Be sure you take a moment today to remember Charlie Kirk for exactly who he was.
Charlie Kirk Sept 27 2024: "Just so we're clear, the Haitians that are in Huntsville that are raping your women and hunting you down at night - it's only gonna get worse - unless Donald Trump wins
There will be hundreds of thousands of Haitians brought into Alabama and they will become your masters"

I don't recall St. Paul saying that black women lacked the brain capacity for jobs that should go to white men, but perhaps the Cardinal is working from a different Bible.
Cardinal Timothy Dolan on Fox & Friends on Charlie Kirk: "This guy is a modern day St Paul. He was a missionary, he's an evangelist, he's a hero. He's one I think that knows what Jesus meant when he said 'the truth will set you free.'"
