Snow White (2025)
I can't stand people throwing "free speech" around as if they won some argument. They look like idiots. As Zegler is an employee, that Exec had every right to tell her to shut the fuck up. You can argue whether he should or not, but he certainly has the right to do it. If he did it to Zegler, I hope he did the same to Gal Gadot. I generally agree with her stances, but I may have done the same thing in order to save the movie I produced. That said, I don't think her outspokenness had a ton to do with the movie's underperformance. It probably hurt some and added to the chaotic narrative of the movie, but making a good movie should have been the producer's focus and not shutting down press after the fact.

Measles
As a stem cell transplant patient, I can’t get the MMR vaccine, so this shit is a stresser I don’t need. Useless idiots.

Formula 1 2025
Last year, we were watching one race and they kept showing the women with "[Driver]'s girlfriend and model". I eventually just told my wife that they can just leave the second part off. It's pretty obvious that's the case.

Snow White (2025)
I think this gets lost in all of the other controversies. It’s an almost 90 year old movie and is not that great anyway. A remake of something like The Lion King, Aladdin or The Little Mermaid make financial (not creative) sense because the parents of the kids now grew up with those in their home and in theaters. It puts multiple generations in the seats to share something nostalgic for the parents and something fun for the kids. Snow White was locked in the Disney vault (remember that?) for years and the 25-45 year old parent didn’t have access to the movie and grow up with it. My kids have seen it but it’s not an essential text for them, nor me. Dumbo was the other live action remake that didn’t do well for similar reasons.

2025 NCAA Tournament - 2nd Round Games
UCONN is getting decent shots, they just can’t hit anything.

What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
That’s spitting distance from my house and I drive that stretch every day. I don’t recall seeing black smoke or anything like that. I must be totally blind to it somehow. We’ve lived here for 10 years and been to Chez Zee once. That was enough.

HBO MAX: "The PITT"
Maybe but I just looked and the Vegas shooting at the music festival was 60 dead and over 400 injured, increasing to over 800 if you include people injured in the ensuing panic (the show had some of those injuries). That’s a ton of people to run through a hospital in a short time. What they showed doesn’t seem too crazy. They did say the majority were coming to them, so some are going to other hospitals. They’re just closest so naturally in a rush as non-emergency vehicles are bringing people in, they’re just going to the closest hospital. Can’t defend the baby and the vag.

I caught the cancer
Everyone else has said it but get to MDA. My father in law had angio sarcoma, which is very rare as well. The WORLD expert for that type is at MDA. I bet he covers other sarcomas as well. His name is Dr Vinod Ravi.

So Are We In?!?!?
Totally forgot Greg Gumbel died. It’s weird not hearing him read the teams.

RT's Revenge - Texas/TENN - 2:30 ESPN 3/14
The guys fought but just ran out of steam against a top 10 team nationally. No shame in that. Hopefully, we get an NCAA bid.

HBO MAX: "The PITT"
I'm kind of worried about that too. Seems too clean and coincidental. Of course these guys are all network TV vets, so that may be seeping in a little. Also, unless next season is 15 hours of Dr Robby in a therapist chair, I don't know how he would come back from that.

Marvel Cinematic Universe the Endless Phase: Tripping Balls (Spoilers)
I find this strategy hilarious. Keep showing a humorous tone but mix it in with the makers who come from a more prestige background. Good move.

Mickey 17 - Pattinson does a Steve Buscemi impression for two hours
I just got back and I had a good time with it. Pattinson was great in playing both roles. Kudos to him. I thought Ruffalo was a tick over the line of too much. I wanted more Toni Colette but that's just a general ethos of mine. As always, Bong makes cool creatures. I get the issues people had with it, particularly around tone, but the positives outweighed the issues for me.
