Deeply embarrassing that the first Star Wars show to release with an actual writers room (not the hivemind stuff with Jon F. & Mando or small consulting Tony got with Andor) is not given a chance to come back for a second season.
The show found an audience but the audience

Goddamn, Spielberg directed the format for a show at 24?! Idk when director format rules were established but if someone directs the pilot of a series they will get royalties for all episodes aired. Itโs why a lot of big directors will attach to direct pilots.
Columbo, in the pilot episode, shares the secret to a perfect omelette. Behind the camera: a 24-year-old Steven Spielberg, shooting the hell out of those eggs.

This was actor J.P. Manoux who was dressed up as a USPS mailman and was handing these out also at Netflix. Not sure what his thought process was - did he think he wouldnโt get recognizedโฆthe dude who is famously not Jim Rash.

Margot Robbie was on the picket line after having the biggest fucking movie of the year so there really is no excuse for any of these A-Listers - itโs actually bullshit they want to go over the picketing to go directly to the NegComm to try to resolve things. Just be present!

Tron is a movie about a fictional video game that Jeff Bridges character gets sucked into. But the phrase there was a video game I got sucked into โ in the context of talking about playing the Last of Us โ makes it seem heโs about to reveal heโs a gamer to Pedro. But itโs a joke
If I was an creator of a TV series that I was now only getting money from it by the executive producer clause in my contract, I would simply shut the hell up when the series I crafted is doing the biggest numbers it ever produced. But thatโs just me I guess ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ

The fact that an extremely solid Indiana Jones movie is in theaters right now and going to be considered a box office bomb annoys me to no end. The budgets for these movies are obscene. If you havenโt had a chance to experience the new Indy in a theater, itโs worth it.

: loved it. Alaqua Cox is just incredible as Maya Lopez & this series shows just how needed Indigenous heroes are in the MCU. The sound design, respect to the Choctaw, fight choreo, its sick. Devery rules, loved Chaske Spencer, Tantoo Cardinal, & Cody Lightning! Fisk!
Emma Stone, Ben Affleck, Scarlett Johansson, George Clooney and Tyler Perry were among an A-list group actors who met with SAG-AFTRA leadership to find a way to resolve the strike, which has now lasted 97 days.

Well - I need a drink - just had someone reach out to me about a tv series they wrote and are trying to sell. They sent me a very long email telling me about the show + additional email of the PDFs of the scriptsโฆthey wrote the whole season & sent me 17 scripts. What a morning.
The internal squabbling comes as news leaked June 20 that Murphy, one of the industryโs most powerful showrunners, has been negotiating with Disney to return to the studio with a rich overall deal after his $300 million Netflix pact expired.

Deeply frustrating that the industry is dragging its feet to get new shows into development and to commence more rooms. At this point, with the strike ending late September it feels intentional & a way to retaliate against what we fought for โ itโs hard not to be fucking angry.

The strike ended in Sept. Amazon didnt recommence the SILK writers room.
WGA writes a letter saying that Amazon is violating the strike & essentially retaliatory by not recommencing the rooms that stopped.
Dec 23, Amazon says weโll reopen a room after we read it.
Now, room fired:
The writers room for the โSILKโ series has been scrapped except for showrunner Angela Kang.
The show will have a creative overhaul & refocused to a more male-skewing audience.

Never in my life has it been so complicated to be Jewish. If I speak out against whatโs going on OR even just speak up the โwrong wayโ I get labeled a self-hating Jew. To have many folks in my life or family who are Zionists makes it difficult to talk with anyone. Iโm all tied up

Expanding on this a bit โ itโs either the studio/network treats the show like a sunk cost situation โ Halo comes to mind. The shows cost so much money that we have to give the folks time to find it, best way to do that is to make another season even if the first wasnโt popping.
