Gosh. David Zaslav must be kicking himself that he didn’t back Coyote v Acme with its $14m opening weekend coming third behind weekend 5 of Spidey and weekend 7 of The Odyssey.

This is how I’ve been reading this book to Ms 5 for a few years now. She’s going to be outraged when she finally sees the Bubble Boy episode.
This is now a 29-post thread, and likely more to come soon. There’s concept art, models, CGI, stop-motion, animatronics, spaceships, a space station, and even the Millennium Falcon 🤷

The enshittification of interesting conversation online when someone evokes the term enshittification.
Julia Stiles texts me far less frequently than either of us would almost certainly prefer.
This month, we published another article revealing that MSG kept a database of VIP event attendees, labeling some of them as LGBTQIA and assigning a “risk score” to others. This is also now free to read:
Madison Square Garden Kept a List of Gay Celebrities
An MSG database tracked and categorized hundreds of celebs, famous Knicks superfans, and even some of Taylor Swift’s wedding guests. Labels included “LGBTQIA,” “DO NOT HOST,” and low to high “risk.”

In April, we reported on the MSG surveillance machine–an operation that allegedly tracked a trans woman, lawyers, protesters, and more. You can now read it for free.
The Shocking Secrets of Madison Square Garden’s Surveillance Machine
Famously vengeful Knicks owner Jim Dolan has long spied on people at his iconic arenas. WIRED goes deep inside the operation that allegedly tracked a trans woman, lawyers, protesters, and more.

Regret to inform that I’m like 5 minutes into Mile End Kicks and the lead already has the Adrian Tomine Strand tote I bought in the late 2000s. This movie is going to read me for filth
Something under-discussed by TV industry types is that Robert & Michelle King, noted TV creators with a history of delivering episodes critical of politicians (particularly Trump), tech titans, and the media, are about to launch a new show… their first for David Ellisons Paramount.
I never understand why people have a problem with platforming these dum dums. Let them open their mouths to remove all doubt.

Prime Video was serious. I thought I was being Rick Rolled with this notification.
Great start to the morning so far. Some jerk sideswiped the mirror on my car parked on the street. So now it is not roadworthy. It had just a few weeks left until retirement. Of course they didn’t leave a note.
Be like Katie and watch Widow’s Bay. I’m not saying it is the best new show of the year. But as of June it is a very strong contender.
Katie@meliiike.com · 2mo agoI was put off by the weirdo trailers but @danbarrett.au said it was really good so I decided to watch one episode. Have watched two and I love it.
are ppl aware that paramount is the corporate parent of paws inc. what if bari has been playing the long game so ellison puts her in charge of garfield
Well "Rolf Harris: Primetime Predator" is finally out. Northern Pictures came to me expecting freebie archive footage of British Paint ads, and went quiet once they were offered fair archivist rates. So just know this when you watch this.
Has there been a better US network comedy since Better Off Ted?
Just saw @dylanbyers.bsky.social email announce moving one of his newsletters to @puck.news upper tier "Inner Circle." That was all the incentive I needed to cancel my Puck subscription. I've already unsubbed the podcasts - I tired of Jon Kelly talking about hosting lavish Puck parties on my dollar.
I love looking at my iPhone as I go to bed thinking about the missile strikes I’m supposed to be overseeing.
A season 26 renewal for Law & Order is good news. I was convinced the show was toast because: 1) It was getting very close to the deadline 2) I have only just started watching it in the past couple of seasons (since Reid "Brando" Scott joined). deadline.com/2026/05/law-...
'Law & Order' To Be Renewed For Season 26 By NBC
It came too close to the wire for comfort, but Law & Order will live on, landing a Season 26 renewal for 2026-27, Deadline has learned.

There is a key difference between 2024 kids movie Tummy Tom and the Lost Teddy Bear and 2019s feature film for adults Cats.
If David Ellison wants to prove that he is on the side of cinema, he could just greenlight a sequel to Confess, Fletch.
