Wait, is Mella blaming the acne on the L.A. air or climate or...?

Looks like Barbie is doing very, very well in its opening weekend.

She definitely still has the tight bikini bod.

Yeah! She's good friends with Dua Lipa.

@Cult Icon Do you like Angèle?

Her beau didn't waste any time knocking her up then!

Russia have amassed 100K men for the Kharkov offensive. Will be interesting to see how the Ukrainians cope. It's been a while since the Russians last launched an offensive of that scale.

We can't put a bet on Don Jr? I haven't seen a single interview with him where he doesn't seem as high as a kite.

I think MAGA is the wrong way to look at them. I just think they are extremely concerned with the bottom line and nothing else. So if they have to fire hundreds of people to save pennies on the dollar they will. If they need to shelve a nearly completed movie to save some money in a tax write-off they will. If they need to sell part of their music library for a one-off 500 million dollar payday they will. If they think they can save a little money by getting rid of a beloved niche platform like TCM, they absolutely will do that. They are supposed to be the careful stewards of - in some cases - old media companies that are rich in tradition and history but they treat their assets as if they are some sort of cynical corporate raider instead. It's just plain weird to behold. Like Zaslav likes to drape himself in Hollywood history, buying Bob Evans old home, using Jack Warner's desk, but every business decision he takes instead suggests he would gladly piss all over WBs history if he can save a dollar.

I find so much of this stuff tedious. Like the complaints about the black Cleopatra show. And then the complaints about the upcoming Cleopatra movie in which Gal Gadot will be playing the role. There is something a bit weird about how each race seems to have claimed that Egyptian culture as their own.

To be honest I don't really care that much about the racially diverse casting. I actually like a few of those actors. Like the ones who play Fringilla and Phillipa Earhart. I was more amused by a show that is obviously proud of its racially diverse cast primarily just having white and black cast members. That is not that diverse. And how many people even know Anya is half-Asian through her dad?

Well he does turn 50 next year!

Laura Vandervoort? I don' think they really look alike to be honest.

I thought about the racially diverse casting for the sorceresses and I suddenly realized it isn't that racially diverse after all. Lauren Hissrich cast mostly white and black actresses in those roles, with Anya Chalotra part Asian (her father is Indian). But there aren't really any other Asian actresses in those roles, nor Hispanic.

I liked Cavill. I certainly don't think Liam Hemsworth will be an upgrade.

Finished the first five episodes of The Witcher season three. It's just not very good. The writing is occasionally dire. But what stands out most is the fact that it all looks a bit cheaper than before (sets/costumes). Pretty clear that Netflix is no longer spending as much money on this as they once had. I think I might be done after this season, not sure if I'm interested in seeing more of this if Cavill isn't even on the show anymore.

It's a fun movie.

Phoebe won't be playing Lara, she is showrunning and writing the show.
