Wrong thread, Robocop might be a bit ahead of its time, politically.

Anyways, finallly reading this article about the guy who inspired Turtle in Entourage and his surfeit of shittily produced movies, and lolling at this description of Willis type movies where he only shows up for 5 mins but is the face of the ads quote:Emmett produced Lone Survivor, a Wahlberg blockbuster, with his Russian money, and it was something of a prestige film for EFO. Around this time, he also made Setup, which paired 50 Cent with Willis in one of his many geezer teasers. For Willis, the appeal seems clear: lots of money for very little work. But 50 Cent had much more invested in the project, which grew out of his own production company, Cheetah Vision, where Emmett worked as president for a time. In 2013, Oasis Ventures gave EFO another infusion of cash, and Emmett’s output picked up even as some of his investors and script writers said they struggled to get paid. https://www.vulture.com/amp/article/randall-emmett-movies.html

quote:“The thing around Hollywood that a lot of people say is it’s a surprise Randall hasn’t been killed by Russians or something, knowing the kind of money he deals with,” the producer who has worked with Emmett says. Neither Emmett nor EFO films has been accused of any criminal violations in connection with the financing of his movies. Still, he says, “the number of people who share that line, like, ‘I’m shocked Randall is still alive,’ you just wouldn’t believe it.”

I don't remember if it was a Fox News guy or some other similar ghoul. A couple years ago they made a stink about how college kids "suddenly" view Frankenstein's monster as a sympathetic character.

There’s no legal qualifications for calling yourself a news organization. Fox doesn’t get sued very often because they have deep pockets and it’s very hard to win libel/slander cases in the US. But they are currently being sued by Dominion over their promulgation of electoral fraud schemes.

Not just butting horns, but actively spreading intentional lies that cause real harm to their business model, one of few situations that might actually count as actionable libel/slander in US courts. Fox is probably going to have a massive out of court settlement. Mike Lindell, the MyPillow guy, is planning to bring it to court and not settle, and by god I hope he does, and I hope there are cameras.

Part of me genuinely feels bad for Mike Pillow and realizes that he's clearly a deeply disturbed person who needs help and shouldn't be doing....literally anything he's been doing the last 4ish years. The other part of me is laughing like a madman because lol Mike Pillow melting down is never not hysterical.

I really like the idea of Lebron sitting down for a marketing meeting with a bunch of WB execs, and some marketing dept guy is explaining the ironic appeal of Space Jam to Millennials, like with the website, the Quad City DJs mashup, and how they can capitalize on it. Lebron flips through the packet and pauses on a page that catches his eye. He looks up and asks, "Wait, Charles Barkley made a Space Jam video game? How did Michael allow that to happen?" The marketing guy pauses for a moment, gathers his wits, and tries to explain Shut Up And Jam Gaiden to the last audience that could ever understand it. Double points if he had to explain that one of the characters is "Lebron James's octoroon grandson."
