Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

Amazon MGM has taken creative control of James Bond, with longtime owners and producers, Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, remaining owners. This is somewhat shocking as for more than 60 years the Broccoli family had maintained complete creative control of the property, overseeing all casting, story, and production decisions. The Broccolis have resisted turning Bond into a “universe” a la Marvel and Star Wars, instead crafting each film one at a time. But expect all that to change as Amazon will seek to make as much profit as they can off the property.

A James Bond villain buys James Bond.

James Bond: No Time To DEI

A James Bond TV show for a streaming service in 2025 is gonna be insufferable. Just 10 episodes of a guy that doesn't call himself either James Bond or 007 yet and then in the final episode, he orders a martini, shaken not stirred, and we all politely clap and Season 2 takes 5 years to come out

Q to James Bond: Customers who bought the spy camera pen also bought the poison dart watch.

SO THIS IS INTERESTING. Love is Blind has received a lot of flack this season for its casting (see yesterday’s post) and the producers were defensive about it, pointing out that it was the largest cast ever (some 32 contestants) and that the show “casts itself” meaning that they have to just follow the contestants who created stories via a connection — or the failure of a connection. Understandably, not all 32 people are going to come out of the experience in a relationship and it would be dumb for the producers to show all of the stories that ultimately went nowhere. So explain to me this: Why did we spend so much time with four people who (SPOILER ALERT) didn’t leave the pods engaged, but this couple received zero screen time? Make it make sense.

A Doctor Odyssey/9-1-1 crossover will double the batshittery. Possibly quadruple it.

Netflix is heavily investing in Mexico and Mexican productions.

Hey, General Hospital: give Justin Bruening a role.

Oh hey, Meghan McCain is looking for attention. Again.

Uh oh, sounds like Heidi Gardner might be headed towards the exit at SNL.

PolUGHtics

This website wasn’t functioning for a few hours yesterday thanks to an image of President Monarch posted calling himself a “king” that I included on the site, only to have its code corrupt the entire page. You’ve seen it by now — and don’t need me lecturing you on why an American president referring to himself as a monarch is the LEAST AMERICAN THING I CAN THINK OF. And we all know what this (mostly) was: just President Troll trolling people like me and the media to make our heads explode so that his followers could point and laugh (and probably to distract all of us from the unpopular bullshit that he’s doing).

Mission accomplished.

But I also resist the impulse of some on the Left who admonish us to not pay attention to the trolling and the spectacle, to not be left breathless by every outrageous thing he does and instead focus on either: 1. the big picture or 2. one or two terrible things he’s doing so as to fight more effectively.

I get it: we can’t allow ourselves to be overwhelmed by their shitstorm.

That said, I also believe we do have to pay attention to the small outrages because he means it. Anyone who has paid even five minutes of attention to Donald Jessica Trump knows that he would love NOTHING MORE than to be a king or an autocrat. He’s been role-playing at it his entire life. And he’s been furiously signing executive order after executive order that, if held up by the Supreme Court, would give the Presidency autocratic powers. While he might be trolling us, he’s also not joking. And what’s the famous Maya Angelou quote? “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.”

I point all this out because the fight with the AP seems on its face as one of these petty trolls: the White House won’t grant them access because they refuse to acknowledge “The Gulf of America.” But what the White House is doing is testing not just the AP, but the press as a whole: if they can control how the AP writes about this one thing, might they be able to exert pressure on them to write a particular way about something more serious? And if they can successfully pressure or punish the AP, who else will cede control and become a White House mouthpiece?

Because this man is out here saying OBVIOUS LIES about Ukraine starting the war with Russia, for instance. If the press bends the knee to little bullshit like The Gulf of America, it’s not a long road to repeating other alterations of reality.

Look, I have to take pleasure where I can:

And they’re still doing a bunch of illegal nefarious shit and firing people who we need in the government, so don’t worry. That’s all still happening.

Oh cool, a Dallas ICE prosecutor runs a white supremacist Twitter account:

Since GlomarResponder was first created in 2012, the account has posted hateful, xenophobic, and pro-fascist content. “America is a White nation, founded by Whites. … Our country should favor us,” GlomarResponder wrote last month. “All blacks are foreign to my people, dumb fuck,” the account posted in September of last year. “Freedom of association hasn’t existed in this country since 1964 at the absolute latest,” GlomarResponder wrote four months prior, further clarifying the post was referring to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in a reply to a comment. “I’m not a commie, I’m a fascist,” GlomarResponder posted a couple of weeks later. “Fascists solve communist problems. Get your insults right, retard.”

In August, GlomarResponder posted: “‘Migrants’ are all criminals.” Two months later, GlomarResponder shared an image that reads: “It is our holy duty to guard against the foreign hordes.” Some GlomarResponder posts evoke anti-immigrant violence: “Nobody is proposing feeding migrants into tree shredders,” the account posted in March 2024. “Yet. Give it a few more weeks at this level of invasion, and that will be the moderate position.” And in January: “My WWII vet grandfather didn’t get a chance to kill asians, so he volunteered for Korea. He’d be asking for a short term job with ICE kicking doors and swinging a baton.”

You know what, though? There are still some good guys out there.

  1. It may be a little pie in the sky, but I’m of the belief that our elected leaders shouldn’t be trolling at all. They should be fucking adults, but here we are. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
