If you create a game studio to make games specifically designed for you, you won’t have to pay real gamers to pump your stats.

"It felt like the floor fell out." Work in L.A.'s entertainment economy is evaporating, and the city's creative class is hanging on by a thread. on.wsj.com/4pZ3Ycj

The post armageddon set extensions in the Korean drama SISYPHUS are pretty great. Better than I’ve seen in some big name premium cable post armageddon shows. The fight scene choreography is top notch too. Excellent sci-fi overall. I recommend it so far.

Reported on Next Door 10:39AM Four black SUVs and three white vans headed towards Glendale Home Depot.

Yesterday, we honored the firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice protecting Californians. Since 2002, more than 1,500 names have been added to the California Firefighters Memorial in Capitol Park—including five from CAL FIRE this year. Their courage and service will never be forgotten.

Comments on LinkedIn re: One Battle After Another: "It’s Star Wars with muscle cars" "‘Commando’ meets Coen Bros quirk" "Leo DiCaprio hanging out with a teen girl" My dudes...just say you didn't see the movie. It's OK.

Chekhov’s Martial Arts: If you see a girl intensely practicing martial arts and have multiple scenes in a place literally called a ninja academy early in a movie, when it comes time for her to save herself, she should still use a mystery gun she found and never even try martial arts.

CALIFORNIANS!!!! You’re gonna start getting your ballots. Vote YES for prop/ state measure 50, (it will be titled differently in different counties.) Vote as soon as you get your ballot so that phone calls and texts can be directed to people who need more convincing. 1/

IL Congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh: "I think Kristi Noem should have consequences. I think she should be tried at The Hague."

It’s so obvious that it must have been used already, but if not, Blondie’s ‘One Way Or Another’. 2nd choice: Heart’s ‘Dream Of The Archer’.

Kat deserves alllll the same hype Mamdani gets. She’s out there getting literally beaten. We need to uplift every single one of these people who are doing the most so those doing the least know what we expect, and nothing less.

This is just brutal. Oscar winners out of work for a year and a half. So many of my friends who have been constantly employed by the film industry for more than a decade are completely out of work - and resources. www.wsj.com/business/med...

Aside from just how this reflects a 12 year old's mentality and misunderstanding of The Punisher, and all that...why is the head of a civilian agency giving away challenge coins? Does it make him feel tougher and more manly by imitating military traditions? It's just weird and conveys insecurity.

Star Trek is so good that even the people on Star Trek watch Star Trek 🖖🏻

Terrible list. No Wizard of Oz, Life of Pi, What Dreams May Come, Grand Budapest Hotel, Fifth Element, Sin City, Schindler's List, Kundun, Avatar, Metropolis, House of Flying Daggers, West Side Story, Fury Road, Into the Spiderverse, or any Miyazaki? Really? C'mon man. collider.com/movies-most-...

Imagine what would happen at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences board of governors meeting when somebody pitched creating a category for best AI performance. I don't need to imagine, it would look pretty much like this video I shared yesterday: www.reddit.com/r/udub/comme...

LIFE OF CHUCK was very powerful. I’ll be thinking of that movie a lot. The recorded interview with Mike Flanagan and Mark Hamill that followed was a great way to end it. I recommend it.

What a shame. Letting this happen to what was once among the biggest news services in the world.

The Visual Effects Society announces that they are finally on Instagram. Welcome to the year 2012, VES! Glad you could make it. Now could you please stop posting on the white nationalist propaganda and unfiltered racism site? It's a bad look for you.

Please enjoy the latest Befores & Afters podcast, where I talked with Ian Failes about what The Roddenberry Archive is doing to preserve the history of Star Trek and Gene Roddenberry's legacy in television and films. @beforesmag.bsky.social beforesandafters.com/2025/09/29/h...

I could actually see Netflix making this movie with Ryan Reynolds and Jason Statham.

Everyone involved in this should only ever feel shame for the rest of their lives.

"Let's see what's out there..." It was 38 years ago today (Sept 28, 1987) that "Encounter at Farpoint" had its premiere broadcast, introducing Capt Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Enterprise-D. I'm proud to have been a member of the team who made the show at Paramount.

I don’t know whose rocket this was but it just flew over me at Chiriaco Pass, half way between the CA/AZ border and Palm Springs.

OK sure the MedBed conspiracy gobbledegook sounds neat but hear me out…how about Healthcare Hammocks? Hanging between two palm trees at the beach, swinging back and forth sipping a Mojito and listening to Merengue music while regrowing a lost limb or liver. That’s the stuff.

the Command & Conquer series is 30 years old today we so have an excuse to share this iconic moment with Tim Curry

One D list conservative propagandist/professional liar, got hit in the head by a milkshake at a protest in 2019 and Republicans have been trying to make Portland sound like Falluja ever since. It’s wild that FOX and OANN viewers buy that nonsense hook line, and sinker.

@davidmack.pro I had a 6 hour drive yesterday so I finally had a chance to listen to the first 3 episodes of Kahn. Loved it. I’m a huge radio drama fan (still listen to reruns of CBS Radio Mystery Theater and the Relic Radio podcast) and Kahn is among the best. I can’t wait to hear more.

I'm loving #StarTrek: Khan, and it was amazing to have @davidmack.bsky.social chill and go in depth about the development and writing of Khan. Thank you, David! 🖖

Hey artists and actors, it isn't just you. Imagine an organization with $23 billion a year revenue asking the #1 entertainer in the world to perform for free for a TV show that generates $800 million in commercial advertising sales 'for exposure'. People are out of their minds.

"Violent conduct includes anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States Government; extremism on migration, race, gender; hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality." this is bad. very bad.

In 1935 German leadership called a surprise meeting and informed their previous oath to uphold the Weimar constitution was now void and they instead must swear a personal oath to the Führer. Many claimed they didn’t like the order, but they did it anyway. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Is it possible that Nate Bargatze has never watched an awards show before.

I have a few good friends who have been struggling the last few years due to the contraction of the streamers who are starting to get work and seeing the light at the end of their tunnels and it is GIVING ME LIFE. I have nothing but hopes for all the struggling & strivers out there. Crush it, y'all.

I know it is short notice, but a local L.A. colleague of mine, Anthony Gore, has a movie screening tonight at the Burbank Film Festival. It is called "3", and screens at 9PM at the Burbank AMC 16. Check it out. For more info, go to the festival website at givebutter.com/BIFF2025
