As for the Justice Dept. blocking this acquisition on antitrust grounds, be careful what you wish for. Trump couldn't care less about antitrust--Justice would only involve itself as a way of essentially forcing a sale to Paramount and thus bringing WB under the thumb of Trump crony Larry Ellison.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

Bette Davis is the only answer.
This is a great one. Cate Blanchett might be the best answer. For my part I don’t think anyone’s been in more good movies than Willem Dafoe. Cry Baby, Last Temptation, Wild at Heart, like ten Wes Anderson movies, American Psycho, Finding Nemo.
This is a Bill Simmons game, but you’re stranded on a desert island. You can only have one actor’s filmography. You get it all, including cameos. But just the one performer.
I’m taking Cate Blanchett: Talented Mr. Ripley, LOTR, Life Aquatic, Black Bag, Tár, Ponyo, Hot Fuzz, Eyes Wide Shut, Thor

KARL: Did you know about the judge's order when you issued your order for the planes to continue?
