My next hot take of the day is that, whether it means multiple people compete against each other in the same category or not, no one is the true lead of this movie. They should all be in Supporting. variety.com/2025/film/aw...

🔥 As you may have seen, in recent days, I've been going to the Broadview ICE facility near where I live. For @vanityfair.com I wrote about those protests & the hell that the Chicago area is being put through thanks to ICE/DHS. I hope you'll read this & share it. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

Postcard From Chicago: There’s an ICE Facility in My Backyard

And when, a year from now (if that), it all tanks, we'll get a heaping dose of "Ah well, nevertheless"-style responses from those same rich people.

Also, it is a bad/hot take, but "feature-length NIN video from Disney" is not super-appealing to me!

This article fascinates me because half of it is "Wow, the Blue Jays get their local broadcasters and isn't that great?" (and it is), and the other half is "Gee, why did no American broadcasts pay attention to one of the best teams in baseball all season?"

Apples and oranges, I guess, but if you took the amount of paid subscribers listed here and multiplied by the average movie ticket price ($16), you’d get less than $3 million.

But go off, I suppose.
