The more I criticize David Ellison and his moves at Skydance, the more fascinated I become by the contrast with his sister, Megan Ellison who is a prominent Hollywood producer, a four-time Oscar nominee, and the founder of Annapurna Pictures. Megan managed to build her own identity in the industry without relying on her father's or brother's corporate empire. She established her own production company and earned her reputation by financing and championing ambitious, auteur-driven films while collaborating with some of the industry's most respected filmmakers.
She made a name for herself entirely on her own terms, without having to inherit or take over the family business to establish her credibility, because David sure as hell didn't. Maybe David could learn a thing or two from his sister to be a respected producer, but I seriously doubt he genuinely cares.

Still need to come up with a better term than ‘Lucas Derangement Syndrome’ because what do you mean people are complaining about a $2 sandwich

Tom Cruise × Takashi Yamazaki 🎬
Inspired by Mission: Impossible,
Yamazaki revisited the script
for Godzilla Minus zero.
One film inspires another.
And that passion continues
to move the world.
Mutual respect between filmmakers.
That’s the magic of cinema.

How did it take Netflix until today to lead marketing for this film by mentioning the lead creatives?
It's been my most anticipated film of the year but the posters and trailers have been done nothing to target people who aren't already invested.

A father’s love for his daughter never ends, even when her time here does.
There are no words to describe the heartbreak of losing a child or the emptiness that lasts a lifetime. The years may pass, but the love, the memories, and the longing to have her here with us never fade.
If you are able, please consider making a donation to support us as we walk to honor Autumn this Saturday. These donations, no matter how small, help fund life-saving research, suicide prevention education, and support for families who know the unimaginable heartbreak of losing someone they love.
Autumn will always be my daughter, our heroic archer. She will always be loved and always be a part of everything I do.

I’m very optimistic this is the beginning of the end for national platforms and litmus tests. Kinda insane for how long the national parties have demanded New England Republicans be pro-life culture warriors and Southern Democrats support gun control.

If last night’s election results brought you inner peace, I get it. I agree Trumpism is a poison to our society. But wouldn’t it be nice if our happiness didn’t depend on election results? Stop letting the government have so much power over our lives. Make elections boring again!

My daughter asked for blueberries, so I poured some into a bowl.
“That isn’t enough!”
“Baby this is plenty, you won’t eat more.”
“Yes I will! Pour until I say when!”
I add eleven more, one by one.
“Ok when!”
15 minutes later she hands me the bowl saying she is full.
There are eleven blueberries in it.

ゴジラのポップコーンバケツ
マジで純粋なクソデカPVCフィギュアならそれはアカンやろ言われてもぐうの音も出ないが…
あくまでもこのバケモノは『ポップコーンバケツ』の定義内だしこいつを膝に抱えて見て問題ないと言ってるの同然な感じだし今日ぐらいバカやろうぜ。
という意気込みで行ったら自分しか組み立てて持ってきてなかったのにそこからぞろぞろと組み立て始める人出始めて仲良くなれたのは良い思い出になった。
あと出来は本当に良い。買って後悔してない。

Why is the vice president writing this like he’s a pundit and not part of the WH that did the things he acknowledges angered people?
One of the things the data analysts on our side obsessed over was "composition"—whether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for Republicans to win. And despite polls that showed a Democrat blowout, the data kept on telling us the same story: in some states turnout was merely OK, in other states it was downright amazing, and in no state was it catastrophic. There was a genuine sense of optimism on our team: our people were showing up.
So, I asked the smartest data guy I know, does that mean we're going to shock the world? "No," he told me. "We might do better than the polls suggest. But the data is telling us that a lot of Trump/Vance 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys. Our voters are turning out, but they may not vote for us."
Well, that looks prophetic now. Our voters did show up. In Florida, for example, the electorate was 9 points more Republican than Democrat, just a couple points worse than 2024. Undoubtedly there were places we could have done better on turnout. But the main problem is not turnout. The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump/Vance in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026.
There will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is. One of the pollsters I really respect told me that our economic messaging wasn’t sharp enough down the stretch. I’m sure that’s true.
But the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone.
Another pollster—one of the smartest people I know in politics, told me yesterday we’d lose the generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even I was shocked by this. In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 2024 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats. He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team. The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were:
1) End the war
2) Focus on cost of living/inflation
3) Put America First
4) Change our relationship to Israel
Our voters showed up. And the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats. This is according to a pollster who nailed the results. While many spent Monday attacking Rachel Campos Duffy for calling for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, it turns out her political advice was sound. (She’s also a great person.)
In the next few months, there's going to be a lot of gaslighting. Expect to hear any number of establishment politicians say the solution to our woes is amnesty. I'm open to the idea that we should change enforcement—by focusing more on businesses that hire illegal labor, for instance. But anyone pushing amnesty is lying to you.
The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night.
If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that's at least honest.
But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there.
I remain hopeful about our country. To the people who are pissed off and want to say, “I told you so”: you’re right, you did tell us so. Take that energy into electing Republicans who share your worldview. To the people who are just pissed at the results, you should be. Let’s take that anger and get back to the work of saving our country.
I hope UK audiences make the smart move and watch GODZILLA MINUS ZERO instead of this slop.

I think his post was silly and think “let people enjoy things” is destroying our culture but I would take the below more seriously if it weren’t by one of the people who tried to strangle DIGGER in the cradle.
i wrote about Taika Waititi's delusional and embarrassing Instagram post, and how it reflects a deeper problem about the impacts of social media on the entire artistic ecosystem:

Running on the slogan of America First and then not even bothering to sell a war of choice to the American people that ended up changing almost every household budget in the country.
