I saw American Fiction yesterday and there were, count ‘em, exactly five people in the theater. (I’d like to hear what you think of it!)

The super what?

I’d imagine Valentine’s Day doesn’t help either.  Lots of people are going out and spending money Wednesday, which may make them more comfortable not doing anyhting this weekend.

Right. I’m going to see American Fiction this afternoon.

Like most movies these days, Argylle needed more SPR3!

The Superbowl being on is a great reason to go see a movie in a theater, as it assures a Wednesday matinee crowd on a weekend schedule.

I’m surprised that Anyone But You despite both lukewarm to negative reviews, and an underwhelming opening weekend, and it being R-rated, has slowly crawled to being kind of a big hit for a romantic comedy. According to Box Office Mojo it made 170 million dollars on a budget of 25 million, and that’s nothing to sneeze…

I haven’t used one and I do worry about that. People make mistakes, do weird things. I worked a lot of server jobs throughout school and, although I’d never do something bad to anyone’s food, I knew people who were capable of it. 

Yeah, I don’t know why our health care industry hasn’t started doing that. Since it’s broken beyond repair they might as well just start boasting about it. It will make the entitled insured feel even more special.

“They see me Brolin, they hatin’.”

He could try hip hop. I can picture his first mixtape, “Brolin with the Nines”...

Perfect opportunity for a competitor to buy ad space right after them

Who doesn’t trust a food delivery service that doesn’t care if you accidentally ingest something that will kill you?

WBD rejected them because they came in below the desired $75 to $80 million price tag

At some point, the tax benefits just can’t outweigh the massive and ongoing bad press.

Even by the standards of “indifferent, bottom-line-obsessed CEO,” his actions make no sense. He’s not saving that much in the short- or long-term and actively running the value of the brand into the ground. To what end, Zaslav?

Zaslav is clearly enjoying this. He passed “making tough decisions that hurt creatives and audiences to benefit shareholders” to being a genuine mustache-twirling villain trying to make people cry.

With a quiet pencil.

Translation: He’s going to air it after this announcement gets more traction.
