So it's an election year. Where's our Dinesh D'Souza documentary? Need to get an early jump on those 2021 Razzie awards.

Democrats loved their slaves, they adored them.

Still do.

Ask Kanye West.

Quote

Today, Warner Bros. and HBO Max announced the creation of Warner Max, a new film label that that will serve as the feature production arm of the streaming service that’s launching in May.

 

The new joint venture will have a target of releasing eight to 10 mid-budget movies per year...

 

Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema will continue to create midbudget fare for the traditional theatrical window, while Warner Max will create a new pipeline for filmmakers looking to make a particular type of film or connect with a specific audience that would be best reached in the streaming environment. The first Warner Max titles will premiere on the service in 2020 (yet to be determined), and Warner Bros. will be responsible for distribution of these titles in all other media and territories beyond the HBO Max SVOD window.

 

Will Warner Max titles receive a truncated theatrical release similar to Netflix and Amazon titles? And by that we mean, limited theatrical releases over a shortened window before hitting HBO Max? That’s to be determined. At this point in time the label is focusing on making original films for the streaming service.

I am from Europe, I have no clue who that person is. It is just damn awesome to see someone ripping the speech papers minutes before the State of Union begins live with millions watching at home.

Wonder what will happen to HBO Films, seems redundant in the long run.

I imagine a far number of WB’s flops from last year like The Good Liar and Motherless Brooklyn would have been Warner Max releases

It could have been...but as is being talked about amongst my politico peers, the timing sucked, so the message is lost to independents...and instead, completely backfires.

 

With the issues of discord and division from Dems coming out of Iowa just the day before (and still ongoing), it gives Republicans the easy, instant chance to put that video with her sour face and ripping papers against the words of Trump's speech...and setting Dems up as the party always sowing discord and division.  It was an own goal, after the own goal in Iowa.  And too many own goals tend to sink you in a competition pretty rapidly.

RIP Kirk Douglas

[MrPink]

Clutching my pearls at the thought of someone ripping up some paper.

[Avatree]

And today I learned that Michael Douglas is the son of Kirk Douglas!

 

RIP. THE Hollywood legend.

[Lucas]

RIP legend Kirk

[MrGlass2]

Just in time for the Oscars In Memoriam, what a pro. But 103 is too young.
Paths of Glory, Seven Days in May, and so many other classics. RIP.

Yeah no. That's not the way it works. I know the left wants it to be this way but you don't get to tell the side you disagree with to shut up. We're not socialists.

If it was the other way around, you know people would be making a big deal out of it. Don't even.

Oh I'm sure people would be making some big deal out of it.

 

It's still pretty dumb. It's not like there aren't some grave issues out there that matter a million fold more. Decorum got thrown out the window a long long time ago. Might as well drop the pretense.

Yeah, fair enough. I just thought it was kind of hilarious and pathetic at the same time, as I said. That's all.

 

Moving on.
