Hollywood actor Richard Gere delivered a sharp criticism of U.S. President Donald Trump during an interview with Spanish news. Gere told the outlet: "We have a president who's not only crazy, he's a dark, dark presence. And it's happened so quickly. Six months, he's almost destroyed our country."

Xanthe infodumping about one of her/my favorite G1 ponies, Hollywood. Probably the most "me" picture I've ever drawn tbh, lol really showcases how I'm just a tired old poss who cherishes the 80s & 90s toys of my youth and nerds at all her unfortunate loved ones about them every day

AI might be ruining Hollywood, but it gave us Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise duking it out over Epstein

How the Hell did Hollywood spend 46 million in 1998 dollars (about $100 million today) on a middling ALIEN knockoff starring Treat freakin' Williams of all people? A classic case of a ridiculously pricey wannabe blockbuster that would be so much more charming as a straight to video cheapie.

Paramount Responds To Letter From Hollywood Figures Opposing WB Meger Paramount argued that the Warner Bros. Discovery merger will create "more avenues" for work, not fewer, in Hollywood.

I also oppose the sale. I'm sure I wasn't asked to sign this by mistake, since I am also a respected power player in Hollywood. It's just an oversight, really. A lot of people are going to be SO embarrassed.

BREAKING: We’re saying NO to the Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger.

Thanks to your support Contrarians, our @normeisen.bsky.social is leading a major coalition of over 1,000 Hollywood professionals in opposing the proposed merger.

Follow along here for more on this tomorrow.

It's good to see that many people who actually work in Hollywood oppose these mergers. They seem to be something only the executives and government want.

The WB/Paramount merger in particular needs to fail because of the harm it'll cause to the industry.

THE PARAMOUNT AND WARNER BROS MERGER IS AN ASSAULT ON WORKERS AND CREATIVITY. WE'RE ALREADY SEEING GIANT CONGLOMERATES SWALLOW UP OUR STORIES AND LEVERAGE POWER AGAINST UNIONIZED ARTISTS. STAND WITH HOLLYWOOD WORKERS AND SAY NO TO MONOPOLY GREED, ARTISTS OVER PROFITS!

I'm really glad so many creatives in Hollywood are standing up to this merger of Warner Bros and Paramount because it genuinely is something that will be damaging to creatives and jobs. I hope this merger crashes because it is terrifying and not something that should happen.

If Ellison is a petty fucker with the Palestine stuff and saying they have a list of people they won't work with after that, if he adds these people, he'll only work with 25% of Hollywood and I think he's overextending his hand if he's that much of a trick.

The WBD-Paramount merger is a consumer story just as much as a Hollywood story

Remember how Sean Young dressed up as Catwoman and everyone collectively decided she was nuts? This month's Women They Warned You About looks at that moment, our inability to deal with feminine anger in Hollywood, and how shitty David Letterman was.

One thing I do not understand about Hollywood is it's much more unionized than a lot of US industries and also the workers, collectively, have more than enough resources to pool together to create a worker-owned and run studio, but instead they just... don't.

I can’t believe there hasn’t yet been a big splashy Hollywood remake of 1984 starring, like, Timothée Chalamet and Sydney Sweeney.
