Warner Bros. is for sale (again); a look at its major properties
For the third time in a decade, Warner Bros. is for sale. What properties will the future owner need to deal with, as Warner’s more than just “Batman movies?”

Next week's DC Calendar posts: a Golden Age character! A Wonder Woman character! An early JLA character! And did someone say "major Batman supporting character (that was the de facto star of a TV show)?"

Checking, "Sinners" was the top film for Variety's *horror* list, but doesn't appear at all on their overall film list.
NPR lists "Sinners" among their top films and TV shows of 2025.
The Wrap makes "Sinners" their top film of 2025 (and even as the header image).

I know there's a few folks doing independent entertainment news coverage on their own like @tvmojoe.bsky.social, @sumitlakehornet.bsky.social, @toomuchtv.substack.com & @solzyatthemovies.com. @richardlnewby.bsky.social is still in the Penske machine and cuts through the gunk there.

When one dude owns most of the major Hollywood media news outlets, including the top three (Variety, The Hollywood Reporter & Deadline)) and major magazines like Rolling Stone, Billboard, and Vibe, you kind of control the narrative.
And the GALL of them calling themselves "independent journalism."

If you’re wondering why Ryan Coogler and Sinners have been quietly snubbed all year by Variety, Deadline, Rolling Stone, and The Hollywood Reporter, there is a reason.
These outlets, along with Billboard, VIBE, Golden Globes, AMA, Billboard Awards, Streamy Awards, are all owned by Jay Penske.

Acting defensive when someone even attempts to speak clearly or use detail reveals a deeply insecure character.
It’s actually very creepy that we all have to walk around talking like sixth graders in order to be taken as “normal.” But whatever.
lol, even

Year 1 of Valentine's Day is fine, but expensive. By Year 3, it's your single friends telling you that you shouldn't rub the holiday in their face after they ask you what you're doing for Valentine's Day. It's downhill from there. Truly the worst holiday for everyone.

I'm honestly shocked whenever reminded it still exists. In fact, I don't believe it does.
Yeah let's please just memory-hole the entire platform
Getting off Twitter, a platform which gleefully allows users to post revenge porn and child pornography with no oversight or regulation, also includes "just popping over there to grab screenshots to post on BlueSky" by the way.
