A ★★½ review of The Bride! (2026) When it came to Warner Brothers first radical reinvention of a classic centuries-old novel from a female director in spring 2026, we already had a myriad of ideas where Wuthering Heights would go wron...

"Anything which fails at its central or supposed premise to this extent cannot be deemed a success, although #TheBride cannot be written off as a total failure either."

BAFTA & #SAG/#theactorawards have gone wildly back & forth as the most accurate #Oscars acting precursor- so which one will get the #Oscars2026 tossups right?

Media: "...I mean, if just one little new 9/11 will keep fascism around long enough to make absolutely sure no one can take away our cultural/financial benefits from it after 2029...."

Given that a new 9/11 before the midterms is his entire midterm strategy

History vs. Momentum: What The PGA/ACTOR Split Between "One Battle After Another" And "Sinners" Means For Best Picture The big PGA and SAG doubleheader on February 28 and March 1 was the final major piece of the puzzle before the Oscars, and to many, the most decisive piece. To most, “One Battle After Another” winning...

When the #pgaawards & #SAG/#TheActorAwards split for Best Picture, like they did for #OneBattleAfterAnother & #Sinners this year, which guild winner usually has the edge - & how can this year be an exception?

Unspoken [as of yet] translation for all of it: "Please do a 9/11 before the midterms so we don't have to do it and frame you for it ourselves"

He can't publicly say yet "Come on, if we make them do just *one* 9/11 here before the midterms, you can finally get all the cleansings you want!"

The CNN team's last few years of MAGA sucking up to keep Zaslav and Malone pacified gave them the necessary training

You thought they were actually outside on the 30 Rock rink until the end too?

Is it too early - or too late - for someone to publicly accuse that this was done in the hopes of a 9/11 level retaliation before the midterms?

Is it too early - or too late - for someone to publicly state that this wasn't done to prevent a new 9/11, but done for the express hope of getting one before the midterms?

There needed to be a 9/11 first to get us to that point in 2002 - this is them doing the war first and hoping it leads to a new 9/11 after the fact/before the midterms

A ★★ review of Scream 7 (2026) It may well be that from the very beginning, the idea and concept of a Scream 7 has been cursed at every turn, although Melissa Barrera’s firing and Jenna Ortega’s subsequent departure are the most in...

"No one has had any real ideas, or ideas that would have survived this climate, to make Scream 7 actually worth all this– & even Williamson couldn’t make any work either."

The news network David Zaslav has used since 2023 to get Trump/fascism elected and cemented, so that golden parachutes like this to escape debts from the last merger [and avenge Hollywood strike losses] would be possible at all

Zaslav only took four years to run this playbook [and figured out in less than two that using CNN to help get Trump/fascism elected would help make his golden parachute out of debt/ Hollywood strike losses that much easier]

Added incentive for Zaslav/Ellison/whoever actually has the reigns at CNN in 2028 to ensure it goes all in on getting fascism its extra votes [like how Zaslav used CNN to get it elected in 2024 once the Discovery debts/strikes losses required a golden parachute out]

Zaslav's grand plan to escape Discovery merger debt - and other losses from prolonging the 2023 strikes in a failed attempt to crush the unions - was to ensure CNN helped get fascism elected and make this future golden parachute out possible
Now that Ellison has this playbook for 2028....

Zaslav's grand solution once debt piled up - and he threw even more money away in trying to wreck the unions in the 2023 strikes - was to ensure CNN helped get fascism elected and lock up his future golden parachute that way
Now that he's left that playbook for Ellison in 2028...

War on Iran = begging Iran to pull off the next 9/11 before the midterms/on the 25th anniversary year so he doesn't have to do the extra work of an inside job

The PGA Award Will Determine The Best Picture Oscar Race - Will It Be "One Battle After Another" Or "Sinners?" The PGA Award for Best Picture is usually the most important and accurate precursor to the year’s Best Picture Oscar. This year, it is just the latest two-film showdown between “One Battle After Anoth...

The PGA Awards will make history - either by making #Sinners their first Black led/made solo Best Picture, or by awarding what could be their biggest money losing BP ever in #OneBattleAfterAnother instead
