If they had a lick of sense and an ounce of bravery they would go scorched earth in these final months. Lost the presidency and the senate? Just do it. But I don’t think they have it in them.
The Biden administration should cancel all federal student debt tomorrow. Ignore the courts. Use immunity powers. Get it done.

Why do I even bother watching TV anymore?
“Kaos” has been canceled at Netflix after one season. The Greek mythology comedy series debuted in late August and starred Jeff Goldblum as the all-mighty Zeus. variety.com/2024/tv/news/kao…

anyways dropout is like $6/month, no ads, password sharing is *encouraged*, the company pays its talent well and engages in profit sharing. almost all its fans are anticapitalist and yet we love this company so much, every post abt them reads like an ad.
Disney+ has introduced anti-password sharing in the U.S. There is now a paid sharing policy where users now have to pay to add a member outside their household.

For years I’ve been thinking about the best way to share the vast amount of content I’ve been safely storing in my vault, much never seen or heard by the public. And today I’m delighted to finally share that we’re starting production on my official documentary. I’m looking forward to working with Frank Marshall, Alex Gibney and Sony Music to bring this very personal project to screens around the world.  Photo by Firooz Zahedi.

we, as a culture, should demand a theatrical release for this marvelous motion picture
Watch our new trailer for Tarsem's THE FALL, a visual wonder starring @leepace and newly restored in 4K. Streaming exclusively and (almost) globally from September 27. A MUBI Release.

Can't believe I'm actually going to advocate to keep Muppet*Vision, but if Disney didn't demolish it to connect Star Tours to Galaxy's Edge as they should have, they certainly shouldn't be shoving Monsters Inc in there now.

Though Zinnemann wasn't exactly happy with him. From a letter to casting assistant: "It would have been wonderful to get an electric performance from [MacRae] but I'm afraid it's just not in the cards and at this late date we will just have to buckle down and do the best we can.”
When adapting the Rodgers & Hammerstein's musical OKLAHOMA! ('55) to the screen, it was crucial for director Fred Zinnemann to cast actors whose vocal range rivaled the stage. A renowned baritone and veteran of both arts, Gordon MacRae was the perfect fit. #SummerUnderTheStars

For the record, I think MacRae is perfect in Oklahoma!, and watching him & Shirley Jones in both this and Carousel shows an interesting range that critics often denied.

I (along with half my office) got laid off from Walt Disney Pictures the week after Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest had the biggest opening weekend ever. We were all asked to stay on for another 2 months since it was a busy summer. Working in entertainment is wild.
This sure would be embarrassing if they recently announced plans to spend almost a quarter-billion dollars on three people.

Biden should do his last six months in the White House like Conan did the last few weeks of The Tonight Show.
