The most important human story in the entertainment industry right now is the severe downturn in film and TV production in LA and how it's affecting middle-class crew workers. I spoke to dozens of them for this story about the depressed Hollywood economy. www.wsj.com/business/med...

About two weeks out from the premiere of Devil in Disguise on Peacock! I cut 3 episodes, and this extraordinary team is really doing things different for true crime. #postchat

In a city of world-class artists and production crew hunting for the next gig, Andrew Cuomo made a TV ad the same way he wrote his housing policy: with AI. Then again, maybe a fake Cuomo is better than the real one?

In case Gillibrand caves on the shutdown, it’s because she’s hosting a wine retreat in fucking Napa

what the fuck

Blissing out at the end of a long week open.spotify.com/track/2cvQeq...

Jesus fucking Christ

Considered adding this to my Letterboxd top 4 vimeo.com/9355577

Oh wow. Missed this. Schumer has even lost the opera snobs. gothamist.com/news/turan-d...

2010 to 2016 will be the setting for Millennial Virtual Reality Nursing Homes.

The only rapture I care about.

I have to be real with you guys, on some level I’m genuinely going to miss this crazy sonuvabitch

Brisket on, now dailies. #bbqmunity #postchat

You can buy a secondhand copy of Bluey (the full series) on DVD or Blu-Ray for like $25 and BONUS you get to have it forever

I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but... I've been in therapy for almost a decade. ChatGPT cannot be a substitute for talking w/ an actual human. @mcuban.bsky.social was trying to make that argument on Tim Miller's @thebulwark.com show that it could be. And I could not disagree more strongly.

Might have to watch today

SISKEL & EBERT, which premiered #OTD in 1986, had a master class of an opening sequence. Thirty-five seconds, 21 shots, and a flawless establishment of the professional rivalry of two Chicago newspapermen who inspired a generation of film buffs. #FilmSky #TVSky

Can’t believe this isn’t at least in the conversation. Great show

Literally on the radio today at the laundromat “Remember to check out those towers of light reminding us of the world trade centers, this is Nelly’s Hot in Here”

Chipocalypse is the name of a cookie place in Astoria you fucking dolt.

His ads have been a masterclass of cutting through bs and tropes of dusty cookie-cutter campaign videos.

Shout out to all my melon heads.

Happy Labor Day weekend (seen in Astoria)

while studios were fighting unions on every possible dime craftspeople could earn, they were spending $100m on this trash

Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."

Holy shit

This is all related to The Pit Stop bar being closed.

iykyk

Hell yeah

Heaven is on earth (I rode a Citibike to my favorite local sushi spot and had some uni and sake)

Unfortunately I frequent a lot of these places, but it’s so short-sighted to oppose this. The majority of their business is foot traffic! Also as much as I like Under Pressure (and Athena market) they treat sidewalks like parking lots, and do the bare minimum to mitigate that.

Going to start some shit on LinkedIn

My rep, my senator, my hood ❤️❤️

Really enjoying Lazarus on adult swim/HBO Max. I don’t get a chance to watch a lot of anime, but this just hits on so many levels. Not looking forward to it being done.

Cuomo is on WNYC still citing the loss of Amazon HQ in Queens as a negative for "the socialists." But Amazon still opened tons of office space in the city, without drooling government subsidies. Were "the socialists" not objectively right here? www.curbed.com/article/amaz...

Cuomo on WNYC still bemoaning losing Amazon HQ in Queens to socialists. Insane he’s still fighting this. Subsidizing one of the richest companies and CEOs, and they still brought jobs here anyway. We just didn’t have to build a helipad for Bezos that would have become empty post COVID anyway.

Been using a Wacom tablet for most of my career, but not like this. Tempted to upgrade.

Dear Mr. Niel, my family would be more than willing to relocate to Champagne, to uh, make movies deadline.com/2025/07/xavi...

Going to remake the Above the Influence PSAs except it’s for losers using ChatGPT

The AI companies are so profoundly hostile to creators, so ideologically committed to theft, that they were unwilling to pay for one (1) copy of the works they were stealing to train their AI models.

Fuckin Rahm Fuckin Emanuel. Get his ass

God help the person who donated this to the library.

Went to the local Regal today with my kid (to see My Neighbor Totoro) - the staff turned their party room into a coloring room with Superman, Smurf pictures. Kids could have free ice pops, candy, posters. Very low stakes, but really appreciate theaters taking even small steps to do something extra.

Might have to watch today

Scott Glenn will be getting my Emmy vote - for his performance in The Leftovers.

New Teaser! Streaming on Peacock this October.

Can’t wait for the world to see this! 3 eps cut by yours truly (me) www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st... #postchat
