"The Wizard of Oz" is 85 years old this year. CBS has this brief look at the movie's history, plus details of where you can buy tickets to see it on the big screen (it will run for just four days from Jan. 28 to Jan. 31 at select theaters). Do you have any special memories of seeing the movie? Tell us in the comments (for us, it's when we told our kids the age of the movie and they said: "Wow, that's older than Granny!").
There are just a few weeks to go until the Oscars ceremony. In preparation, @RollingStone has ranked the Best Picture winners of the past 20 years. We reckon no one will be surprised at the bottom two (both heavy-handed, simplistic takes on racism in America) but which do you think they said was No. 1?

For a decade, Hollywood hasn’t aggressively fought piracy because it saw people would pay if they made them a good deal.
But as streaming has gotten worse and more expensive, consumers turned back to file sharing. Now the industry plans to get Congress to pass new legislation to stop them.

Stunt doubles are highly skilled and trained professionals who are often at risk through their work, but part of their job is staying away from fame. “Anonymity has always been the contract that we’ve agreed to, and it’s partly for the audience’s benefit,” says David Leitch, director of "The Fall Guy," who was Brad Pitt's stunt double for a decade. The Hollywood Reporter talked to him and Ben Jenkin, Logan Holladay and Chris O’Hara, three of the stunt performers from "The Fall Guy" about how they created the movie's action sequences, and the fight to get industry recognition for their profession. Tell us in the comments what you think the greatest stunt in movie history is.

"For Hollywood, 2023 was an annus horribilis," write Variety's Brett Lang and Todd Spangler, referencing the entertainment industry's strikes, plunging share prices and layoffs. Who didn't get the memo? Studio execs, the majority of whom received increases to their compensation. Here's a breakdown of who got what, and how media chiefs are justifying their multi-million-dollar pay packets.

Trump biopic "The Apprentice," starring Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong was well received internationally but can't find U.S. distribution. Participant Media, Hollywood's premier backer of socially conscious films and documentaries such as "Judas and the Black Messiah" and "An Inconvenient Truth" closed in April. And The Hollywood Reporter says many studios worry about a MAGA-led backlash to movies perceived as too "woke." Here's their story on Hollywood's fear of political movies.

~THE #JEWS ARE #HOMELESS AND NOW SO ARE YOU!~
Is TikTok parental controls Safe for Kids?
~SHORT ANSWER is NO; IT IS NOT SAFE; even with parental controls~
Parental Controls have never worked. They are smoke 💨 screens. All kids are way smarter than they were 20 years ago and can circumvent any so-called Parental controls easily.
The kids actually Laugh at the CONTROL PART..😄 🤣 😆
Basically the Ashkenazi Jews transferred the #XXX MONITORING responsibility FROM the 🇮🇱 JEWISH PLATFORM OWNERS TO THE #PARENTS ..
(Like as if the Parents don't already have enough on their plates with this Man-Made #INFLATION??)
..while they #poisoned 🦂 OUR #public_schools 🏫 with #LGBTQ #FETISHES and DISGUSTING HOMOSEXUALITY! >> SIN AS A LIFESTYLE. 👹 🚔

🚔 YOUTUBE AND 🚔 TIKTOK ARE 100% RESPONSIBLE FOR #EXPOSING XXX MATERIAL TO OUR CHILDREN.
#Youtube.. unrestrained for the last 2 decades.
START YOUR FINES 🤑 THERE. The Platform must regulate themselves for XXX material not the Parents.
Not different than #PORN_HUB (Whom IMHO is the #LEADER in the #RESPONSIBILITY of #protecting underaged children minds. Even though we do not support the promotion of ONLINE #PORNOGRAPHY.
But we do 💞 LOVE Pretty Women;) :) 🌹
TIKTOK and YOUTUBE should be RATED AT THE VERY LEAST #RESTRICTED imho>> XXX for its content!
So what is the real problem here? #GREED! You cannot offer everything to everyone ALL OF THE TIME. Especially on General Public Social Network Platforms such as TikTok and Youtube.

Moron did what now?
#Trump announced a 100% #tariff on #movies produced outside the #US, saying #Hollywood was dying a "very fast death" due to the incentives that other countries were offering to draw American filmmakers.
"This is a concerted effort by other Nations &, therefore, a National Security threat. It is, in addition to everything else, messaging & propaganda," Trump said in a social media post.
[I mean…c’mon, a #NationalSecurity threat?]

Lorna Moon (1886–1930) was born #OTD, 16 June, as Nora Helen Wilson Low, in Strichen. Dr Glenda Norquay writes about her journey from Aberdeenshire to Hollywood

Every Wednesday, PJ and I walk past the Home Depot on Sunset here in Hollywood, greeting the folks standing outside, looking for work or selling food. To the point where we recognize many of them, and they recognize us.
ICE raided our Home Depot this morning.
A bunch of bullies, a waste of money, and a waste of time, to fill arbitrary quotas to appease white nationalists like Stephen Miller. I feel less safe with ICE running around, not more safe.
