Everyone knows Hollywood is fucked, but most people don't actually know why. The studios used the strikes as cover to cancel a full 1/3rd of TV production across the board. 1/3 of TV cast & crew are out of work. Fully. There just aren't jobs for them. Many are people who made your favorite shows.

I'm once again teaching my Podcasting Essentials class to show you everything you need to get started in the wonderful world of audio. More information via the link below! jeremybent.com/podcasting-c...

A little historical note on that: colorization was never actually the point. 🧵 I was in post production at Lorimar in the late eighties while the colorization was going on. I had a good friend who was involved in doing the restoration work prior to colorization.

Reggie Dinkins renewed for season 2! www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/f...

Ooo, this looks great! www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgpD...

Our barbershop was playing an animated Airbender movie that looked really fancy, and Aang was grown up. I looked it up and it turns out it comes out in October and got leaked! Now my son wants to finish it and I have to explain the ethical issues www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

everybody watch fall and rise of reggie dinkins, I beg you

Bring back the ancient knowledge

This is amazing! Maybe the first time a series I edited has been released on Blu-Ray??

"2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968) has the most dramatic, most famous match cut in the history of cinema. remastered in HD: youtu.be/SsE6WgxG0aE?...

worth remembering how short and simple the 15th Amendment is, as well as how sweeping its grant of congressional authority is. the idea that this doesn't cover a ban on racial gerrymanders is transparent horseshit

That Russo brothers quote floating around about "A.i." is old - from 2023. Just in case you thought it was new. variety.com/2023/film/ne...

This Jellicle Ball thing might be great and all, but it sounds dangerously close to the real secret of Cats youtu.be/9GKN1QvjFDc?...

I did an interview with Filmmaker U about editing Reggie Dinkins. youtu.be/je1iuwu20cQ?...

this is, unfortunately, even more important given how much distributors (studios, publishers, whatever) have just .... largely stopped investing in marketing and publicity entirely

No.

Your voice really matters right now. If you would like show your support, join us in requesting that Wizards and Hasbro voluntarily recognize our union by signing our petition at cwa.org/uwotcletter

genuinely insane thing about London, and i have checked multiple times with londoners about this because i cannot believe it: there is no designated side to walk on the sidewalk??? you just bump into each other all day????????

Once upon a time, when film editing moved to computers, Final Cut Pro on a Mac was a revolution in inexpensive professional post production. And the user interface was super simple. Anyone could learn it. So a lot of producers decided they don’t need a professional editor. Short 🧵.

lmao rfk cant even correctly ID the crackpot theory he believes in

Staten Island traffic cameras have caught a white RAM 1500 pickup truck blasting through school zones or running red lights more than 547 times since 2022. The truck belongs to James Giovansanti, who lives and works there as an NYPD officer. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/23/t...

This is fun, but Groucho Columbo would have killed the series before it got going. Sure he'd drive the killer insane, but no way he can keep his mouth shut long enough to get the killer to incriminate himself. Pacing around the crime scene muttering "this genius over here killed his wife"

I like Margo's Got Money Troubles, but I think it was a mistake to have a long, inscrutable main title sequence with no cold open in the first episode. David E. Kelley has been making hit television shows almost as long as I've been watching television and should know better.

Smoking is gross and bad. Banning it in bars and restaurants seemed impossible until it suddenly wasn't and nobody wants to go back. Would we have any chance of banning sales in the US? Will this UK ban survive a single election? www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/w...

First trailer for Coyote vs. ACME, starring John Cena, Lana Condor, and Will Forte. The Looney Tunes movie is in theaters on August 28.

“To say that President Trump is corrupt is to somehow understate the size, scope and magnitude of his corruption. It is as if you were to describe a modern thermonuclear device as a ‘bomb.’ That is true enough, but it is not quite the truth. It does not capture the nature of the thing in full.”

I'm using AI to help me code, and it rapidly fluctuates between genius and idiot. Recently it "got stuck in a loophole (sic)" adding the word "Broadway" to generated text for no reason. Sometimes when it's good I tell it the Butlerian Jihad is postponed another day.

I'd say that this applies to anyone traveling in a car in any city. Being in a car versus walking, riding, or taking transit fundamentally changes how you view a place and your relationship to it. I wish more leaders set this kind of example. www.npr.org/2026/04/16/n...

"But nearly two years after the law’s passage, economists are seeing very different results than what was initially feared...the policy increased average weekly wages for eligible workers by 11% and did not reduce employment." finance.yahoo.com/news/economi...

Sorry but this is just a Reggie Dinkins stan account now. Totally missed the opening line the first time I watched this. Probably because I was pointing out to my wife that I recognized the location youtu.be/ZwsLaQHsyck?...

This is an excellent review of the excellent last episode of Reggie Dinkins www.vulture.com/article/the-...

I had no idea Hampshire College was so young! I imagine they were in a particularly bad position to weather the college enrollment drop-off and we're going to lose a lot more small, quirky colleges while the big, rich ones stay big and rich www.npr.org/2025/01/08/n...

The last two episodes of Reggie Dinkins were absolutely top tier. NBC renew it for 100 more episodes!

Woman sitting next to me at The Drama, every 5 minutes: "Jesus Christ!" (complimentary)

I also love Reggie Dinkins! I only edited two episodes, so I've enjoyed the later episodes more as a fan. It's the highlight of my TV-viewing week. The season finale airs Monday on NBC and you can catch up on Peacock.

You know what? I'll admit it. The credible threat by a madman to wipe out a nation of 90 million people for basically no reason (presumably using nuclear weapons) successfully distracted me. I am now distracted.

Lena Dunham writes very well here about an experience I wished for in my youth, of finding peers in NYC to hang out with and make movies. It makes me a little wistful. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

This Daily Wire production sounds like a total shitshow and any film that doesn’t take safety seriously can fuck off right into the sun

Mayor Mamdani SAYS that rich people should pay their fair share to help everyone have a better quality of life, yet does he realize that "everyone" includes rich people, and they might receive services from the government too???

I'm not much of a horror or zombie movie guy, but 28 Years Later and The Bone Temple are both great, and take big, weird swings (penis joke) that work. Ralph Fiennes is amazing. Don't worry if you didn't see 28 Weeks Later. I still haven't.

For those of you playing along with the AI Bubble/Paramount-WBD merger home game, Big Daddy Oracle surprised 30,000 of its favorite employees this morning with pink slips in order to free up cash because their mounting debt and banks refusal to keep loaning to them: rollingout.com/2026/03/31/o...

I didn't even know Bob Dylan was dead :(

I haven't seen this episode of Reggie Dinkins yet, but I am loving the Radcliffe/Stallion interactions www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8ns...

Just got a new follower on Vimeo! Which made me ask the question "Is that still a website?" and led me to this answer "While Vimeo still technically exists..." mashable.com/article/vime...

The NYT says today’s #NoKings protests had “no shortage of skeptics,” and then quoted exactly one of those skeptics: The chairman of the Ole Miss College Republicans (as of 2025.) But of course, the Times doesn’t ID him as such. He’s just a Concerned Youth.

Over eight million Americans took to the streets today, which makes No Kings 3 the biggest single day of protest in the history of our country. #NoKings

Are you ready for the biggest day of mass protest that America has ever seen? Across all 50 states and dozens of countries, millions of people will gather tomorrow to reject Trump’s brutality at home and abroad. Please join us for a historic No Kings Day: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings
