Todd Field wrote and directed, her character is a lesbian. I don't know what the rest of the movie is like, but that this monologue even made it into a 2022 film is amazing.

It’s a good time in acting, and commercials, to be a black bear.

It's not widely appreciated that Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is effectively a failure - the raw box office numbers for opening week looked good, but the movie's coming in at the low end of projections that have been consistently lowered by Disney.  BP:WF is probably about $50m below where Disney needs the numbers.

 

I wonder how big a role that and the butchering of the rest of the MCU played in his ouster.  It must have played some role.

I had read that the Genie+ app is hated by park attendees. The parks numbers were down (but with 2020 and 2021, is that fair?), Florida employees were disheartened, etc. Probably a cumulation of things, but money is gonna be reason #1, 2 and 3.

Disney stock lost 37% this year. It is up 7% on this news.

could be the current business plan for the Parks to force out the average family in order to up-sell to rich people is not working that well.

Disney's abysmal quarter is in no way related to Governor Ron DeSantis reelection and his influence on Florida's Reedy Creek Improvement District funding for Disney utility services. RCID provides electric power, natural gas, compressed air, and chilled water to Disney World. RCID is a State of Florida entity. Disney's Board got a look  at future projected costs for using market based utility services. You can't make money in utilities since Enron - but you can lose a ton.

DeSantis won. Again.

I’ve seen this name pop up a few times over the past couple of days.

 

 What’s this story about?

Balenciaga ran a child pr0n bondage ad. They didn't expect the pushback they got.  The ad is now removed from Twitter although I am sure you can find it if you really try. (Here's a few photos)

 

 

It was 3 or4 or 5 year- olds and their teddy bears with bondage gear. (Those papers are something about a supreme court ruling and child pr0n, but I forgot what.)

Balenciaga is now suing the production team. I guess they expect people to believe that no one at Balenciaga signed off on the premise, cost, and production of an ad? 

Cooper Kupp is the only "name" I have seen denounce the ad. 

The NYT says this is bad Q people getting angry about this. 


She seems nice:

Apparently Kim Kardashian released a statement on Instagram or something condemning it.

It basically amounted to: "if they say "oopsie!" I will continue to work with them."
