There's a new generation of filmmakers earning a good living with low-cost, highly-targeted content on free streaming services like Tubi and Roku. I profiled an incredibly interesting guy whose work is making $2M per year with zero help from Hollywood.

I couldn’t find a current, comprehensive visual map of who owns Hollywood in 2026, so I made a cheat sheet.

Brad Silberling (who directed Casper and Lemony Snicket) once told me that this is why test screenings for family films are basically impossible.
Your audience is kids but the actual ticket-buyers are suburban moms who think 95% of the stuff kids actually enjoy is inappropriate.
A sweet message from ‘Atlantis’ co-director, Gary Trousdale, to the fans! 💙💠

My favorite element of OBSESSION was Rock Burwell's score. During the rom-com couple montage, there are discordant notes that tell you "this looks happy and it sounds kinda happy but it is definitely rotten at the core".

totally fair to love or hate Life is Beautiful. It's the Michael of Holocaust movies. Personal experience with trauma is going to have a big influence on how you perceive it.
Paul Rudd revealed his father hated the movie “Life Is Beautiful” because it was historical inaccurate.
Paul Rudd: A movie that my father hated was Life Is Beautiful.
Conan O'Brien: Oh my god!
Paul Rudd: Hated it.
Conan O'Brien: No one hates that movie!
Paul Rudd: My dad hated it. Now keep in mind, my father could not escape Holocaust documentaries.
Conan O'Brien: Roberto Benigni! It's a masterpiece!
Paul Rudd: Well, I was just reminded about my father's hatred of this movie because a friend of mine texted me, he said, "I still laugh at your father talking about that movie." And because, again, not historically accurate, and my father referred to it as Laurel and Hardy Go to Auschwitz.

For anyone (especially followers) with extremely strong feelings about LLMs and generative AI use in cinema, is there some rulebook or guidelines somewhere as to what people think is appropriate? I've seen people angrily unfollow others for reposting AI.

Finally got to Obsession and there's no way to separate the viewing from the knowledge it is a once in a generation phenomenon. I'll be tweeting about this a bunch, no spoilers. I thought it was great, gave me same icky feeling as reading a great Stephen King book.

Spielberg's biggest opening was Indiana Jones / Crystal Skull: $100.1 million in 3 days. I CALL BULLSHIT. I don't know what mechanisms Paramount had in 2008 to juice numbers but keeping Spielberg happy meant hundreds of millions to a studio's bottom line.

Saving this and the Hacks pitch to just study over and over.

Where it all began: my first pitch for @TheBoysTV eleven years ago. Since then, hundreds of actors, thousands of crew, and millions of viewers embraced this insane idea. I'm grateful beyond words, and proud that all these years later, we stayed true to this mission statement. #FYC #TheBoys @PrimeVideo

Rick McCallum talks about the never-produced series “Star Wars: Underworld”:
· They worked on it for 5 years and had over 60 scripts
· Describes it as dark, sexy, and violent
· Would have “blown up” the Star Wars universe

BREAKING via @MattBelloni: GEORGE MILLER was just in town shopping one last MAD MAX movie, and possibly a TV series, before he plans to sell the IP to the highest bidder. WB has passed on the new Mad Max movie, though Sony, Universal, and Amazon are in the mix.

HE-MAN iexplores different perspectives of masculinity but never figures out how to tie those conversations to humor. The early scenes are great because there is sharp comedic contrast: reality vs. absurd fantasy mythology. Once in Eternia, it's played straight.

A perfect example of why Japanese theater feels dreamlike.

Love this quote because she locks in on the best title possible for the conversation. Many films with dark subject matter still toy with genre and sensation to create entertainment. Nomadland doesn't engage in escapism. Its not for everyone.
Jennifer Lopez says Oscar winner "Nomadland" is her "worst type of film."
“It’s not why I go to the movies. I like musicals. I like romantic comedies. I like thrillers, you know? And [‘Nomadland’] is a slow-moving thing about grief, and there’s no escapism to it. And I do like some movies like that… but that one I just didn’t. It’s just a taste thing,” she continued. “And I know we need movies about grief! I understand."

This movie got so close to reality that the government shut it down before it could be finished.
On the Silver Globe (1988) is one of the strangest sci-fi films ever made. Directed by Andrzej Żuławski, it follows a colony of astronauts whose descendants gradually transform history into myth and religion.
The film was nearly lost forever when the Polish communist government shut down production in 1976 and ordered much of it destroyed while it was about 80% complete.
Years later, Żuławski recovered enough footage to finish the film. Missing scenes are replaced by his narration over documentary footage of modern Poland, giving the movie an even more surreal and unique quality.
