    It’s not fucking hard. 1. Make movies matter. 90 day theatrical window. Fuck streaming. 2. Cut prices. No ticket over $12. 3. Make more movies. Give everyone a new option every weekend.
    Movie theaters are trying everything to bring audiences back — from pickleball to cocktail bars trib.al/UJkZjW4

    Guys, something insane happened to me today. I am on a text chain with my teenage nieces and nephews along with my mom (their grandma) and today my mom asked them if they knew who Helen Keller was... And their response was that Helen Keller was a fraud who didn't exist.

    You can literally see the characters from ZOOTOPIA and SING! in this. Fucking artistic grand theft.

    WEAPONS was awesome. Also the kid who played Alex was in the theater and took a bow. Ah, Burbank 16.

    I’m not judging but that kid has six fingers on his father’s thigh.

    And we wonder what the cost of four years of "fake news" and "conspiracy theories" is... We're all just one TikTok away from being erased from an entire generation.

    One of the least heralded aspects of SUCCESSION - it was a weekly procedural. Every single episode had a big event/meeting/retreat where all the main characters interacted and told a complete story which then built the arc of the season. Truly Peak TV and not “a 40 hour movie”.

    Also -- my nieces and nephews are all bright and well-intentioned. This isn't from lack of education or empathy. This is more about how group think can travel through social media like a virus until it suddenly just becomes the truth I think.

    Also improve the experience. Trailers start at show time. Movie starts 15 mins after. 1 concession commercial. Respect peoples’ time.

    Thank you for all the responses about abelism to this post. This is 100% a teachable moment and I plan to do my part with 4 certain teenagers... But also -- if you know a teenager -- I'd ask them about this sooner than later.

    But seriously — Disney has the ENTIRE Star Wars universe at their disposal and their first two big shows are about two of the exact same dudes? It’s like if they made a show called STORMTROOPER and OTHER STORMTROOPER.

    Here’s the thing about NOPE… I worked on SCORPION KING and we definitely did NOT get those sweet crew hoodies.

    Call Universal. Create an ad campaign around the movie “WB didn’t want you to see”. Make a billion dollars.
    Warner Bros will now allow the filmmakers of ‘COYOTE VS ACME’ to shop the film to other potential buyers. (Source: puck.news/warners-revers…)
