And for people who pride themselves on hardnosed pragmatism, the ones who look at his Paramount strategy and say, "He's not trying to make art, he's trying to make money": He's failing at both.

To be clear, I don't care what it's called. I do care that so far, Ellison has run Paramount like someone who only knows how to run his finger down a list of existing IP and is so terrified of original scripts that he succeeded in having them classified as "independent films" in the consent decree.>
Just going to note that while yes, it's true that Warner Bros. has had a terrible box office year (after a spectacular year), Paramount, under Ellison, has also failed to crack $125M domestically with a single film. Its top 3: Scream 7, Scary Movie, and Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie.
A perfect trifecta of morons welcomes David Ellison to X as Ellison announces that he will honor both Paramount and Warner Bros. by renaming the new company Skydance.
I didn't see Digger!
[Deep breath} When you predict Oscar nominations for a movie based on pedigree without seeing it, you are volunteering to aid in a publicity system that favors movies the campaigns for which are already well funded, and by doing so further disadvantaging films whose primary merit is their quality.
But the movie complicates the path to its finish line admirably, and the four actors keep it idiosyncratic and specific all the way through. This will be on Netflix and honestly, I think that'll be a great way to watch it.
Day 7 of #NYFF64: Lee Chang-Dong's Possible Love goes deep and long in its portrait of two contemporary South Korean couples, one wealthy, the other pulverized by what people here like to call late capitalism and its cruel ramifications. Is their unlikely friendship going to end badly? Well, yeah. >
The movie has an MVP who it would be wrong to identify but we'll get there after it's been open for a bit. (Don't reply with a name; be cool!) For me, against stiff competition, this was the highlight of #NYFF64 so far.
Just came from Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim's You Can See Everything, and, well, uh...OH MY GOD. You will do yourselves a huge kindness if you read nothing more before you see it--with as big an audience as possible so that you can ride the waves of laughs, suspense, shock, and joy as one.
It's a Digger sequel.
Marvel fans need to prepare for "a very surprising ending" to Avengers: Doomsday, directors Joe and Anthony Russo have teased. https://bit.ly/4z1aMtK
...it's both gentle and extremely tough. One reason we go to movies is to see timeless things explored in completely new ways. The last third of Everytime does that, with a daring and even alienating leap into something I won't spoil. I left knowing I had seen something I'd never seen before.
Day 6 of #NYFF64: I was flat-out stunned by Sandra Wollner's Everytime (this year's German Oscar submission). In a way that's slightly reminiscent of Aftersun (same cinematographer), it explores the disorientation and non-linearity of grief after a devastating family loss. It doesn't wring tears...>
There was a very interesting moment during a group cast interview when Sinbad got pissed off and broke through with some truth. It's in the story, but if I had been a more experienced writer, I think I would have known enough to make more of it. Anyway, Different World fans, I hope you enjoy it.
I was very young. I did my best. I really liked everyone I interviewed. I haven't thought about the story since. Rereading it, I didn't cringe quite as much as I thought I would. Here's the piece. ew.com/article/1991...
Since A Different World has been rebooted, I'm going to share something from deep, deep in the archives at the risk of embarrassment. 35 years ago, Entertainment Weekly decided to do a cover story on the original series. They sent...me. (File that under "Normal for 1991, not for 2026.") >
It will all pay off in season 4, Saeed!
