The cognitive dissonance required to support the government saying both “Forget vaccines, you just need fresh, healthy food” and “We’re firing all the food inspectors” is truly staggering.

It is truly maddening being alive and seeing all this happen in real time. This is not about Hollywood — but simply control of all information.

This is absolutely embarrassing for the studio (and all major studios) who do not know how to market all different kinds of films globally, especially ones that are an easy sell like SINNERS with so many ways “in.” It should still break $350m worldwide by early June.

Car buying negotiations with a dealership is such theater. I think I put on a fairly good performance. Not the flashiest but it got the work done.

Warnock: Georgia officials said they were sorry but their hands were tied, you can’t vote the first weekend of the runoff after the holiday so I decided to untie them, I sued them. And I won… They appealed asking for emergency relief. Emergency relief from what? People voting?

I'm bad at promoting myself but I have alot to promote coming up 🤓 so here is a peek of a book chapter I co-wrote with my colleague. It's not meant to be exhaustive but a start for others to fill in and build on. My library has the whole book online. Reach out if you can't access it!

Feels like 75% or more of press interactions treat him (the President of the fuckin U.S.) with more leniency than a teacher would to a fifth grader on understanding of government and U.S. history.

Hi. Remember those YouTube parodies of that ant-gay "gathering storm" ad from 2009? I wrote about them as a digital adaptation of zaps. Check it out, open access: ijoc.org/index.php/ij... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Phai...

Ok now that the second weekend actuals have been released, I need to make this a bigger deal. SINNERS did not drop but actually increased in gross in its second weekend. Take out the $4.7M Thursday "previews" and the film made around $43.3M Fri-Sun Weekend 1. It made $45.7M Fri-Sun Weekend 2.

Less than 24 hours apart. Nearly all the information needed to call the weekend number as at least $30M were available when the first of these was published on Thursday afternoon.

When I teach media industries, I teach (among others) an article (de Castell and Skardzius) that uses the term "female tax" for the extra questions women game designers get asked in interviews/panels that are about being a woman in gaming, and which takes time away from discussing their actual work.

This film will clear $75m for its first week. It will make back its budget in less than 10 days of release. It will turn a profit before its theatrical run is over. A wholly original film with vision and audience on its mind. The financial success follows that.

Great FLOW piece quoted below… reinvigorates my desire to think more/write about the Once & Again confessionals (rarity in drama) where they also use shorter cutaways and looks (though in confessional) to achieve winks and humor.

I've had to make peace with the shift to Thursday movie release dates but I still cannot get behind combining the Thursday gross with Friday's as it makes claims below false. SINNERS actually increased from Friday's raw $14.5M. More people saw it on SAT (more important than a smallER drop off).
