- So, like, reporters?News should come from the people. From those actually on the scene and those who actually are subject-matter experts!
- Netflix saw the Selena Gomez HBO show and said “I want one!”.@ParisHilton is cooking up a new project: her own series at Netflix, #CookingWithParis. The amateur cooking show will feature the heiress and business mogul learning her way around the kitchen with the help of her famous friends. bit.ly/3yOzo9X
- Everything Everywhere All At once, an R-rated movie with no superheroes, no "stars" and no real genre, posted the highest per-screen average of any movie this year. @KellyGilblom
- Breaking: Netflix is suspending its service in Russia. Story TK.
- Replying to @Lucas_ShawI have obtained internal documents disclosing the cost and financial performance of several Netflix shows. The Dave Chappelle special cost $24.1M. "Sticks & Stones" cost $23.6M. Both of those specials cost more than an entire season of Squid Game.
- Adam McKay tells @joehagansays the real reason his partnership with Will Ferrell ended. Rare to see a Hollywood big shot be so candid about this sort of thing. vanityfair.com/hollywood/2021…
- Universal Music Group’s 10:22PM is turning 4 @BoredApeYC NFTs into a music group. It will perform in the Metaverse (and maybe real life).
- Bad Bunny appeared in the Spotify top 100 the last two months more than Harry Styles, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and Olivia Rodrigo combined.
- This Dave Chappelle special has caused the greatest worker uproar inside Netflix I can remember. Here is a story about the tension between the streaming giant and its workers.
- The three biggest winners at this year's awards -- Shogun, Baby Reindeer and The Bear -- come from relatively unheralded creators and have no huge stars. Most streamers would probably pass on them today.
- Replying to @Lucas_ShawNetflix employees basically never speak out of turn or share internal documents. That they chose to in this case speaks to the frustration felt by many of them.
- New: Movie critics and fans have disagreed about blockbusters more this year than any time this century. I went through the top 10 movies from every year for the past 22 years, and this is what I found. bloomberg.com/news/newslette…
