While Chinese AI models may not be the most advanced, their applications are the most widespread. Figures released by Chinese officials on Thursday indicate that 430,000 micro-dramas were launched online in China between January and August of this year—thirteen times the total for the entire previous year—with AI-generated dramas accounting for over 90% of the total. The scale of such AI application is staggering.

Say what you want about him, but you really have to respect the Arte Moreno tenure in Anaheim Was he a good owner? No. Was he a good guy? Nope. Was he good at hiring people? God no. Did he manage to not get investigated by the FBI for bribing the Anaheim mayor? Somehow, also no

Dolly Parton made the best chicken and dumplings I ever ate. On lunch break she would knock on my trailer door with melt-in-your-mouth dumplings, biscuits, gravy, green beans.Every day it was a southern feast. I had never seen an actor actually use the cooking facilities in their trailer before but she had it all going on. I still have Dolly’s Tupperware…

In 1978, TV series The Incredible Hulk reused footage from Steven Spielberg’s Duel, replacing Dennis Weaver with their own actors. Spielberg went nuts and added a clause to future contracts: “No one can cannibalise my films and regurgitate them into some other show.”

The fact the most iconic structure at LAX is both abandoned and unlit is an embarrassment. You’re not making the best first impression on our summer visitors, @MayorOfLA

The echoes are even stronger than that! In 2020, Makan Delrahim, then DOJ antitrust chief, terminated the Paramount consent decrees. Delrahim is now Paramount's Chief Legal Officer. justice.gov/archives/opa/pr/…

A day after 12 states sued to block the Paramount-Warner Bros. deal, the historical Hollywood echoes are striking. Seventy-eight years ago, the U.S. won its landmark antitrust case against Paramount Pictures — yes, Paramount — dismantling the vertically integrated studio system.

My simple test whenever I meet anyone in DC making strong claims about China is “Do you know who Deng Xiaoping is?” And the failure rate is way higher than you might think

I’m told $PSKY offered the states a commitment to 30 films, w/ 45-day theatrical window and 90-day SVOD window for 3 years. The response was more or less: come back to us with something structural. No specifics. $WBD

Filming the finale of “Annie Get Your Gun” on MGM's Lot 3, Culver City, April 1950. I wonder how many moviegoers watching the scene would've guessed that in the background, out of camera frame, were hillsides dotted with countless oil wells.
