This sounded utterly lame from the moment Jason Momoa appeared on stage back in the Spring at that Apple Event and asked everyone to close their eyes. Apple will quickly learn that throwing millions of dollars at rubbish will still still give you rubbish. To be honest, I haven't seen a single trailer for anything on AppleTV+ that's made me think Oh, wow. I have to see that.

HBO's Watchmen is currently the most compelling thing on TV, in my opinion.

Disney has been living a double life. Behind the happy mouse face is a corporate culture steeped in old Walt’s reactionary politics. When I was a kid in the sixties, I was turned away at the date of Disneyland for having long hair. It was no accident that Walt chose then ultra conservative Orange County for his park. The L.A. Times reported today that Disney is banning pre-screening of films for their reviewers because the paper recently reported on the unsavory relationship between the city of Anaheim and the company. Very Trumpian behavior, banning the press for saying critical things. Anaheim is basically a client-state of the corporation. It’s government was long ago bought-off by various favors and sweetheart deals. It gets whatever it wants. Fox sounds like a good fit.
