The Studio

 

just jumped in and the cringe factor is high, but I think that's the point.

watched the dylan biopic with my parents since i knew my mother was interested and someone had already bought it on amazon prime. thought it was pretty shit. if leaving you with the sense that he was a complete unknown then mission accomplished i guess. it was especially hokey to its credit or over expositional but i dont feel like i know any more about dylan than i did going in and the ride was not worth the price of admission. 

Bosch legacy third and final starts tonight. 

  1. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth
  2. Vice President JD Vance
  3. National security adviser Michael Waltz
  4. CIA Director John Ratcliffe
  5. Director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard
  6. White House chief of staff Susie Wiles
  7. A person identified as "MAR," who Goldberg wrote is likely to be Secretary of State Marco Rubio
  8. A person identified as "SM," who Goldberg wrote is likely to be Stephen Miller
  9. Joe Kent, Trump's nominee to lead the National Counterterrorism Center
  10. U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff
  11. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen

this is the list of Signal chat group. I have a theory on why they used signal instead of a secure SCIF. Group member Witkoff was in Russia. This was a back door information sharing scheme and someone in the group spilled the beans to Goldberg. And not the only time Signal was used by these guys as per Mark Kelly.

crushed the brutalist today. heres a mostly non-spoilery interview with the creator. guess there was some ai controversy thats mentioned at the end of this article that is otherwise about other technical approaches employed. anybody watch it yet?

COUP

dipped into snl 50. maybe the show is tomorrow? some sort of snl 50 music thing today on peacock. saw a clip or two. thought this behind the scenes look was interesting. heard recently that each show costs about 4m to produce and with the shattering of tv audiences snl is now the most watched show on nbc which is kind of crazy. im sure putting stuff behind a peacock paywall really boosts viewership. although back to the 4m, supposedly its more expensive to produce since they still do it at 30 rock instead of, like a studio in astoria, i guess because the space is at a premium and something about small elevators. they didnt really go into it. but, yeah, antiquated facility but obviously retains the history.

cant recall the last actual show i watched but easy to dip in and stream a few clips every once in a while.
