Between A-list directors wanting theatrical releases, the success of KPOP DEMON HUNTERS and a possible bid to buy Warner Bros., it now feels inevitable that Netflix will have to get into the business of theatrical releases, whether they like it or not.

It can but...
People have asked me, "How do I get into running?"
My response? "You shouldn't."
Running isn't a magic bullet. It clicked with me. Lift weights. Dance. Box. Play basketball. Whatever! Just find something you enjoy on some level and lean in.
It doesn't have to feel like a "job."

First "light jog" (doctor's orders) since the surgery. 6 miles. Felt absolutely fantastic. Nice and cool out. Got to break out the long sleeve. Happy to be back at it.
Onward.

Again, trying to convince actual, not rich human beings that the economy is good right now just by saying it's good is a WILD strategy.

TRUMP: The economy is as strong as it's ever been
INGRAHAM: Then why are people saying they're anxious about the economy?
TRUMP: I don't know they are saying that. The polls are fake. We have the greatest economy we've ever had

Do you have any idea how hard it is to effectively sell a lie about "affordability" to millions of Americans who are literally the ones paying these prices right now?
Baffling strategy even by Trump standards.

Trump: "The reason I don't want to talk about affordability is because everybody knows it's far less expensive under Trump than it was under Sleepy Joe Biden and the prices are way down."

PREDATOR: BADLANDS is maybe only my 4th favorite PREDATOR movie but it's also still really good. A testament to this franchise's increasingly fantastic batting average under Dan Trachtenberg.
If you're going to make X number of sequels in a given franchise, don't be boring. This is far from boring.

Do I need to just stop complaining about budgets for movies being too high? It just keeps happening and it stopped making sense years ago
I'm not actually going to stop banging this drum because I believe in my bones out of control budgets remain Hollywood's biggest problem. Logic isn't winning.

It's not going to stop happening but I truly wish studios would stop rushing movies to VOD. Truly. It's all fueling the "wait to stream" mentality and devaluing movies that were made for theaters.
It's shortsighted and on a longer timeline, doing more harm than good. Alas...
