Apropos of today's shit sandwich, here are all the films Paramount has released or will release in 2026 (some of these are international only or streaming titles). It's a good thing the Ellison braintrust is now overseeing roughly 40% of the industry.

Really looking forward to this tool crashing and burning during the primaries. I'm not convinced he can even win California at this point.
The State AGs were on pace to kill the Paramount/Warner Bros by litigation and delay until Gavin Newsom stepped in and turned the tide. Now the Trump loyalist Ellisons will control CNN and HBO. Don't ever, ever forget that Newsom stabbed us in the back

I don't expect the record to hold for very long but someone someday is going to win pub trivia for even remembering the name of the director of SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY, the (current) highest grossing domestic release of all time.

We need to assume Fetterman is salivating (although it doesn't take much to make the man drool these days) at the idea of every Democratic senator having to suck up to him for the next 2 years lest he tank the entire party's plans to govern.
It's a 52 seat majority or bust, unfortunately.

His stunning turn is a dramatic escalation in the senator's growing estrangement from Democrats.

Old enough to remember when this sort of provable lie effectively ended the career of the dude from "The League" but he had a super important job telling dick jokes on a cable sitcom about fantasy football so I can see why this senior citizen with his finger on the nuclear button will get a pass.
Trump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."

This dummy took a flamethrower to her career. She couldn't understand why Fox wouldn't want to broadcast more unsubstantiated claims about the company they just paid $787M to so she tattled to daddy Trump.
It's fine, lots of on camera jobs out there for 60 year old women who undermine their bosses.

Also, we are *so* getting a sequel to "Clipped."
I say this partially in jest but if my reporting caused one of the richest men in the world considerable pain, embarrassment and financial penalties, I'd probably spend the rest of my life looking over my shoulder.
