The NYT described them well in 1944 as a studio that “combines good citizenship with good picturemaking.” Jack plastered that at the studio entrance 😀

The Onion Says It Has a Deal to Take Over Alex Jones’ Infowars, Plans to Relaunch Right-Wing Site as Parody of Itself Satire site the Onion says that it has landed a deal to let it take over Infowars, the right-wing conspiracy-fueled site run by Alex Jones.

I really hope @theonion.com prevails this time.

Absolutely! I think that's where my WB fascination began.

Scorsese is the reason I became interested in WB in the first place. He's been the absolute greatest steward of movies and of Warners specifically.

Ouch! I mean, @sharonwaxman.bsky.social isn't wrong at all here. How can one person come into a company like WB and then leave with a mountain of money in just a few years. Just think if all that money was invested in movies.

This looks incredible! We talk about contemporary data all the time (we should) but I’ve felt a need to better understand how this dates back. Looks like the answer is here 👇

Eager to pick this up. I remember the previous release looked really rough. Excited for a proper 4K presentation. It's been ages since I dove into Lubitsch (who was brought to the USA by Jack and Harry Warner!).

The Most Important Movie About Journalism Is a Timeless Thriller That Just Keeps Getting Better Fifty years hasn't aged the film a day.

A little delay getting this up but here's my thoughts on All the President's Men at 50. Such a killer film that really hasn't aged a day. It's a reminder of the importance of analysis and investigation, only more relevant in the digital age.

Haha glad I’m not the only one still hanging on 😁

Yesssss

Ooh good point. He claims soldiers were using the prayer (who no doubt likely knew the context) but if he made that up I could see him asking AI for something “badass from the Bible” and then enduing up with Tarantino 😁

Fun fact: I flew to LA last year and when I was renting my car the lady at the desk looked at my info and said “still using that Hotmail account, huh?” Yep…hanging on till the end!

Paramount/Warner Bros. Deal Faces Further Challenges as Florence Pugh, Pedro Pascal & More Join Fight The Warner/Paramount merger is "not a done deal," argues Hollywood insiders.

So much to cover on the Paramount/Warner front -- the Block the Merger list grows to over 3,000. David Ellison ducks the senate inquiry again. Mark Ruffalo blasts the deal as "oligarchic control," etc etc

Fake Bible Quote From 'Pulp Fiction' Used by Pete Hegseth in Surreal Pentagon Prayer Service The lines spoken by Samuel L. Jackson were presented as a real Bible verse...

Of course, in 2026, it's increasingly difficult to decipher what's real. Either we're all getting played or Hegseth got duped into buying a bogus Bible verse.

The best part is that an egocentric Christian Nationalist like Hegseth couldn't spot it for the delightful simulacrum that it is.

Would Hollywood Protest a Warner Bros. Sale as Much If Netflix Had Won? There's a sizable coalition lining up to stop David Ellison's $111 billion effort. Would Ted Sarandos' team have faced less resistance?

Good discussion between two editors at The Hollywood Reporter (which includes my editor).

Everything about this dude’s life is so crazy it may even be true.

Mark Ruffalo Blasts Paramount-Warner Bros. Merger at Senate Hearing: ‘Don’t Trust Empty Promises from Billionaires’ Mark Ruffalo warned of "devastating" effects on film, TV and media if Paramount Skydance completes its takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery.

“We do not have to watch ‘Citizen Kane’ or read ‘1984’ to understand that the concentrated oligarchic control this merger represents is a threat to free press, an informed populace and democracy itself,” Ruffalo said.

Learn about the Warner Brothers from the guy who wrote the (very good) book on the brothers & their studio's impact on film history. Online class begins April 16th!

Yesssss! See ya there!

Same! The class will be loads of fun. There's a ton of great subjects available there and coming soon.

That said, I don't think they've had anyone cover Buster Keaton yet. Just sayin' :)

Yeah, strange. I didn't see that coming, either. Maybe that's why they aren't full MAGA despite the QAnon support a few years ago that they allowed Tim Ballard to separate from.

But, in 2026, who the hell knows.

Thanks so much for sharing. Your support means the world (and you've been a kind supporter from the start!!!)

Hope you've been well. I think I owe you a catch up email...
