I spoke with the always great @calibadger.bsky.social about life after CBS and stepping up to the plate with "Just a Bit Outside," his self-financed doc about the 1982 @Brewers. If you're a baseball lover and TV fan, this is for you: theankler.com/p/cbs-ex-pre...

If you've got a better photograph of a cat trying to fire a cannon at an unsuspecting dog then we'd like to see it. #Caturday #Archives #SaturdayMorning

I'm in Terlingua, I'm drunk, and I really don't know what's going on. I'd really like to keep it this way forever.

Get this shit going y'all. Cut and paste. In light of our country's current trajectory, I, ___________, hereby confirm that I will never jump and/or fall out of a window. Any such incident should be immediately viewed as some fascist bullshit and whatnot.

Taking things too far with the Oscars campaign for Conclave

#SNL50 notched 14.8M viewers on NBC and Peacock Sunday, the network said. It’s NBC’s best primetime performance with entertainment programming since the pre-pandemic 2020 Golden Globes.

@michaelawatkins.bsky.social Watching the SNL 50 thing and just wanted to say that I'm a big fan and I'm glad so many great opportunities came your way after your... time served there.

Finally, a 50-year-old ad buyers and network execs are interested in: #SNL. While broadcast TV's struggle is real, the comedy icon remains a potent Nielsen weapon--and has value to NBC beyond its ratings. My deep dive on why #SNL50 still matters. Up now @vulture.com www.vulture.com/article/why-...

F1's US TV rights fee could at least double, according to one media analyst, who thinks it may run into the "hundreds of millions." With interest from streaming giants likely, the next deal will have a huge impact on the sport 💰 Analysis @theathletic.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/612...

Supertramp excluded. Again. 🤬

I don't know how much of the game I'll be able to see, but the AR and green screen nonsense in the pregame is over the top. It looks like a drunk PlayStation threw up on my screen.

The dumbest part of this DOGE nonsense is that of COURSE there's a lot of wasted money in the government and some reform isn't a bad idea. The Emmys are broken, too. But that doesn't mean we just say, "Fuck it, let Rob Schneider decide."

@bryanfuller.bsky.social There's an auction listed on the Heritage page for 'The Bryan Fuller Collection: Movie Posters" on April 30th. Yours? movieposters.ha.com/heritage-auc...

Hey Dick Wolf, reboot EMERGENCY! (But NOT in Chicago)

I think @dawestheband.bsky.social opening the Grammys was the best thing to happen so far this year. There's a better than 0% chance it'll be the best thing that happens all year. Things are bleak y'all.

So #Comcast increased their dividend by 6.5% and announced a $15 billion (BILLION!) dollar stock buyback plan! If that's what they're doing for the stock holders, I can't wait to see what they're going to do for the employees. What's that? Nothing? ::sigh:: 🙄 finance.yahoo.com/news/comcast...

Now this hits home. WOW. What a statement. RESIST AMERICA! Your Rights May Be Next👇

Now watching. 😕

This is a beautiful tribute.

ATTENTION!!! SKITTLES and HOT TAMALES use Red 40. Carry on.

I'm not sure why @dawestheband.bsky.social @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social haven't posted the clip yet, but here's Dawes performing 'Time Spend In Los Angeles' on Kimmel Monday night after losing their studio and Griffin's house in the fires. 😢 www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PQB...

Hallelujah!!! I needed some good news. Hopefully a whole new generation will discover John Woo. 🙏

"Steven Soderbergh's OUT OF SIGHT is a heist story, a sexy potboiler, a noir rom-com that resurrects and perfects the lost art of cinematic sexual tension."

Yup 🥸

In the long and varied history of ridiculous graphics for the sake of 'just because we can', the drop-a-pin-to-show-where-they're-sitting things in the #goldenglobes are the all time champion.

I need this in, I dunno, 50"x60" maybe? Could be larger.

Downtown Dallas at midnight. This is what happens when you do a fireworks display off of Reunion Tower and idiots stop on major roadways to watch. 🙄 Happy New Year!

This deep dive on Netflix purposely turning movies into barely distinguishable forgettable slop is so insightful, researched & brutally hilarious. A must read if you want to really know what’s happening to the business AND culture of movies.

Watching this now on www.tcm.com. Not only is it fascinating, but there was a delightful and unexpected snippet from a Bobbie Wygant interview with Lewis.

Here is a Christmas gift months in the making: an RF rip of the greatest magic special in history. Ricky Jay and His 52 Assistants, directed by David Mamet, never released on home video, sourced from an internal HBO Production tape sourced by @pulsingcinema.bsky.social: archive.org/details/rick...

More and more, I am convinced the way forward is for studios to start playing Moneyball again. Stop depending on home runs and support films that get on first. A billion dollar box office should be seen for what it is: an anomaly, not a vital element of your business plan.

Dear Dallas friends: I need suggestions for restaurants that are open Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. Oak Cliff area preferred — we would like to stay south of downtown if possible Bless you

I got to work today to find an email saying we had mandatory Slack training in January. I wasn't expecting such a late entry for "Funniest Thing I'll See This Year".

Need that last minute Christmas gift? What about concrete yard art? So many choices! Bigfoot... The Virgin Mary... Tr**p... Have I got a guy for you! 🙄

If you know me (unlike Panda Express), then this is probably the funniest thing you'll see today.
