rantnrave:// And now it's JOHN LASSETER. The genius behind PIXAR. For the love of god. "Grabbing, kissing, making comments about physical attributes." As this rate, it's even money that SANTA CLAUS steps down before XMAS... Where are all the billionaires and millionaires that supported fighting SOPA? Pretty friggin' silent. Many just had the aim of defending their investments in platforms from legitimate claims of piracy. A disguise. NET NEUTRALITY voices are hard to hear comparatively. The issue is monumental. Many of the biggies hiding under a rock because they can see regulation and cattle prods coming from DC. As THE NEW YORK TIMES' CECILIA KING pointed out to me on TWITTER: "And this go-around tech companies have been much quieter. The tech giants have big battles to fight on Russia interference, safe harbors and broader calls for regulation. 2017 for Tech in DC very different than 2015 Tech in DC." These do no evil, help the world, VCs and entrepreneurs sold us a bill of good that they were there for us. The irony and hypocrisy are immeasurable. Repealing net neutrality is bad for the average citizen and business. Don't trust massive businesses to do the right thing. Be happy when they do, but vigilant when they don't... A great song feels like it's always been there. That it just belongs. Like it just hit the right wave or slipstream without any bumps. Like a TOM PETTY song... And a reminder that BILLY BUSH got fired for standing next to a bigot and predator... HANDMAID'S TALE author and Canadian national treasure MARGARET ATWOOD is the real deal NOSTRADAMUS of our time. So much so, I may ask her for sunday football picks. Very afraid the current political climate and sexual harassment wave will result in even more bold ROY MOORE-like denials and the further shaming and restriction of female behavior. The narrative of her story doesn't seem so far-fetched all of a sudden... OK, now for some treats: That time THE KARDASHIANS forgot about Khloe in the middle of ARMENIA. That time MATT LEBLANC convinced the FRIENDS producers that maybe he shouldn't hit on his roommates. That time LUKE DANES almost became a female character. How it all happened—or didn't happen—in their own words. MediaSET: "TV Show Oral Histories: Season Five"... Turns out that growing up with brothers is a good way to prepare for a movie with lots of fight scenes. And being the BORG QUEEN means starting your day at 2:30 in the morning. And JUDD APATOW can give script notes without opening the script. Stories from behind the scenes of FIGHT CLUB, STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT, THE BIG SICK and more. MediaSET: "Movie Oral Histories, Vol. 4"... I have two recurring nightmares. I can't find the class where high school finals are and this... Happy Birthday to TOM FRESTON, CHASE CAREY, FERNANDA PINHEIRO WHITE, TODD MOSCOWITZ, ALLEN DEBEVOISE, MIKE PRAW, RANDALL KAPLAN, DONNY DEUTSCH, HALLA TIMON, MATT EDELMAN, JULIE GORDON, ALEX ROY, and ALLAN INFELD.
