Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
Someone punched Steve Buscemi in the face when he was just walking down the street in New York, minding his own business, and I AM FURIOUS. HOW FUCKING DARE.
Oh, honey, no one is inviting you back.
Eurovision Song Contest was full of controversy and witches and I was here for it. A lot of the controversy surrounded the decision to allow Israel to compete after the contest Russia out in 2022 following their invasion of Ukraine, which felt to some like a double standard. But there was also some badmouthing of that witch I mentioned, and one frontrunner was kicked out after some questionable behavior.
This is Nemo, the kid from Switzerland who won:
This was the Dutch guy who got kicked out for menacing a camerawoman:
This Croatian singer’s name is “Baby Lasagna” and he nearly won:
This is Bambie Thug, an Irish bog witch who calls her genre of music “Oujia Pop,” and she was my very favorite:
But I think we can all agree that if it was a fair world, Windows95 Man from Finland would have won. JORTS 4EVA!!!!
The British government is displeased with Netflix over this whole Baby Reindeer thing.
It’s no great mystery why Quantum Leap wasn’t saved on Peacock: it just didn’t have the ratings.

R.I.P.
Roger Corman, Legendary Oscar-winning director and producer known as “King of the B-movies” and “The Pope of Pop Cinema,” who made The Masque of the Red Death, Death Race 2000, Little Shop of Horrors, and Piranha among many others
“Roger Corman gave me my start in movies. He set the guidelines, and then he gave me tremendous freedom within those guidelines. In essence, he taught me how to actually make movies. If I hadn’t worked with Roger, I wouldn’t have known how to make ‘Mean Streets’ or, when it comes right down to it, any of the pictures that followed. It was the same for many, many other filmmakers of my generation. I admired Roger, I loved him, I loved the pictures he directed (especially the Poe adaptations) and the spirit of his filmmaking. And I will always be grateful for the opportunity he gave me, and the education. I will always be proud to say that I graduated from the school of Roger Corman.” — Martin Scorsese
Roger Corman, one of the most influential movie directors in my life, has passed away. It was my privilege to know him.He was a great friend. He shaped my childhood with science fiction movies and Edgar Allen Poe epics. I'll miss you, Roger.

RIP Roger Corman. A great movie maker and mentor. When I was 23 he gave me my 1st shot at directing. He launched many careers & quietly lead our industry in important ways. He remained sharp, interested and active even at 98. Grateful to have known him. https://t.co/z4jT6ltuAj

There isn’t a modern Hollywood without legendary writer, director and producer Roger Corman. His passing at 98 is a profound loss to cinema.
We are all in his debt.

So sad and sorry to hear of Sam Rubin’s passing. Consummate pro. I did my first interview with him in something like ‘93, and countless times over the years. He loved actors and movies. He made everyone feel comfortable and it was always fun and easy. He was an institution. We…
