Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Paramount Warns California: Stop Blocking Our Purchase of Warner Bros. Through Endless Lawfare Or We're Moving The Entire Multibillion Dollar Corporation to a Different StateCalifornia's taxation alone would make the move a good one -- Paramount pays an extra $500 million in taxes every year solely due to the excessive taxes California levies on them. They have the idea they can tax and bully as much as they like because hey, what are you going to do, leave California? They don't seem to have noticed that a ton of tax-rich corporations have already done just that.David Ellison Reportedly Sets October 1 Deadline to Move Paramount Out of California Over Warner Bros. Lawsuit The escalating battle over Paramount Skydance's proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery may now threaten something much larger than the merger itself: Hollywood's century-old position as the center of the American entertainment industry. Paramount CEO David Ellison has reportedly told his top executives that he is prepared to move the company out of California if the state's attorney general, Rob Bonta, refuses to negotiate a settlement in the lawsuit seeking to block Paramount's roughly $110 billion Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition. And according to a bombshell new report from Puck's Matthew Belloni, Ellison has put an actual date on the threat. October 1. Belloni reports that Ellison recently gathered Paramount's 12-member Executive Leadership Team for a meeting on the Paramount lot, where the CEO laid out what could become one of the most consequential corporate relocations in Hollywood history.Paramount would be the first mover here. Many other entertainment companies have surely considered leaving California, but they are stopped by fears that "it simply isn't done." Once Paramount proves it can be done, there would be a rush of companies leaving. .... For decades, states including Georgia, Texas, and Tennessee have attempted to take pieces of Hollywood away from California. California may now be giving one of Hollywood's most powerful executives a reason to hand them something much bigger. October 1 suddenly looks like one of the most important dates on Hollywood's calendar. In other Failures of Hollywood news, Jessica Gao, the woke incompetent who was made the showrunner of "She-Hulk" as a pure DEI move, hasn't worked much since she spent $200 million on what ultimately turned out to be the World's Most Expensive Twitter Diss on the CHUDs. She probably won't be given such power again. I'm not sure she "wrote" the episode as most people would think of "writing" something. TV shows have a showrunner, who acts as the main writer, and a writers room, all of whom contribute jokes and "beats" to a story. A specific person is assigned to "write" it but they're largely compiling what came out of the writers room. Who knows, maybe this was her idea and maybe she did write the episode mostly by herself. But I don't think that's how TV writing actually works. That's why they say she's the "credited writer." She got the credit, yeah, but we don't know how much she was responsible for. Harmon subsequently agreed to host a podcast with Gao titled Whiting Wongs. Friedman described it as "40 hours of him apologizing and learning about racism."This is and always was a dumb idea and it's what makes me think she wasn't really the main writer on "Pickle Rick." This is the kind of thing a n00b thinks is funny. Not only did she think this Basic Bitch idea was super-funny, she was actually willing to die on that hill. She actually quit the show to get this "joke" included. "I was incensed, and in this big meeting, in front of like 20 people, I said, 'Kevin, if you don't let me put a hat on that robot, then I quit,'" Gao told The Hollywood Reporter. Rather than backing down, Feige immediately appeared to accept her resignation. "Thank you very much, Jessica," he replied. "You've done some great work for us, and we really appreciate everything."Unfortunately a producer worked out a compromise where the stupid robot would have a mechanical brim over its eyes that looked sort of hat-like and she got to stay on the show.

One thing to keep in mind, you could have easily made She Hulk sort of like Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Instead of teen girl gets super powers and still has to deal with life young 20ish woman gets them and has to deal with life.
BTVS was a decent hit. Supergirl (tv show) was a decent hit And this She Hulk stuff was right in the middle of the MCU still doing well. I didn't watch the show but it should have been hard for it to not do pretty well Posted by: 18-1 at August 12, 2026 04:35 PM (sKqQm) Posted by: Oldcat at August 12, 2026 04:35 PM (uhVAy) Posted by: sifty boones at August 12, 2026 04:36 PM (+v1tm) 8

I like the CA Post Editorial Board take:
Bonta needs to stop stalling, grandstanding and politicizing the proposed Paramount Skydance-Warner Bros. merger. And he needs to do it now. The federal government in June approved the union. Bonta, on the other hand, has led a group of 12 blue-state attorneys-general who’ve moved to block the pairing, or delay it long enough to let a future US president intervene. While Bonta, et al, insist their stance is legal and not political, why is it then that only Democratic AGs have sued to stop the deal? Is the problem, for these partisans, really that industry consolidation would hurt consumers? (As if this litigious, tax-dollar-wasting group has a care for the average Joe.) Or is it that Paramount CEO David Ellison is seen by some as Trump-friendly? The horror. Here we have a Hollywood executive who doesn’t march in lockstep with Democrats. (Or Republicans, really.) To keep such an undesirable from gaining more reach, is Bonta willing to blow up Hollywood? Posted by: beckster at August 12, 2026 04:41 PM (kX27y) 22
On a related note, yesterday I used Grok to make a 30 second Godzilla-style monster movie of our miniature dachshund and two cats destroying LA that was better than anything put out by Hollywood since Project Hail Mary.

Didn't he JUST have an Op-Ed in the NYT where he said he's misunderstood and a nice guy? He sounds like Gul Dukat.
Whatever these nepo tech lords say in public is only the tip of the iceberg. It’s just the usual spin to blame CA government for what they’ve been planning to do all along with no oversight. Nothing says negotiating in good faith like agreeing to a trial date and then trying to threaten people into settling a week later. Good fucking luck to him convincing talent to come shlep all the way to Texas or Florida to collaborate with their executives. There’s a reason industries cluster in certain geographic regions. Byyyeeeee (Intrepid- Katie Wilson?) This eally sucks. They have is by the short hairs. No good options but relent. Do these people not hear themselves when they say this stupid shit?

Canada has been taking business away from Hollywood for decades too. A LOT of very popular shows were made here thanks to a cheaper dollar.
I did read a lot of comments on Deadline from people very upset about the loss of jobs and less Hollywood content. Which is horrible because where will be get all of our shows lecturing us how to think. And since 'She-Hulk' was mentioned, Amazon Prime still had 'Stargirl' which was on the CW and was a LOT of fun.

Corporate taxes--paid by the corporation, they don't pass them on to the consumer. Tariff taxes--Paid by the consumer, corporations pass those taxes on to the consumer.

Hi, tubal I was looking at some earlier threads and I noted that you have an 11th month old puppy whom you love but who is wearing you and you wife out. I can relate . We have a dear two month old kitten and he is wearing us out. Anyway, hang in there and best to you! Posted by: FenelonSpoke at August 12, 2026 05:09 PM (xPsv Hey Fen! Good to hear from you. He’s 60 pounds and 26 inches at the shoulder already. Runs like a deer. Will fetch a ball until I have heat stroke. Guards our house like it’s his purpose in life. Would not trade him for anything.

While I would love to see Paramount move out of CA, the fact is that there aren't many places on earth, much less the US, that have SoCal's weather. Talent can move, and states would fall over themselves coming up with an attractive enough tax package to make it worthwhile, but most other locations in the US are either too cold in the winter (Northeast), or too hot in the summer (TX), or have hurricane risks (FL, LA, NC).
The other thing I'd be very concerned about - especially if I were a Red Stater - is that these locusts would take their voting patterns with them. If they moved to NC, for instance, that state might as well become a Blue State. Posted by: Darrell Harris at August 12, 2026 05:14 PM (0CU3H) 172

Kevin Feige let She-Hulk get way out of hand.
The fact that he allowed them to make the finale all about him as an evil robot controlling the universe says it all. He should have fired Gao and her entire crew once he realized they couldn't even give him the courtroom lawyer gal show he'd ask for. Just letting them wing it and make it up as they went along for an entire season of shows should have gotten him fired. I think everybody can say for sure that Marvel was headed for disaster once She-Hulk came out and that's all on Feige. Apparently it's very difficult to get fired at Disney no matter how much money you lose for the company. Take Kathleen Kennedy as the most glaring example. The only executive they wanted to fire was the former short-lived CEO who got fired for backing down over the fight in Florida against DeSantis. Hollywood should be broken up and scattered to the winds. It stinks as bad as the Democrat party it's a subsidiary of.

If you heat the middle and with clamps twist and bend them, it is way harder to undo. Posted by: Oldcat at August 12, 2026 05:38 PM (uhVAy) 244

The only executive they wanted to fire was the former short-lived CEO who got fired for backing down over the fight in Florida against DeSantis.
Posted by: SpeakingOf at August 12, 2026 05:38 PM (6ydKt) He was the one who wanted to fix things by making movies rather than teaching lessons on liberalism...at least a little. He was purged for wrongthink, not fired. Posted by: Oldcat at August 12, 2026 05:42 PM (uhVAy) 253

Funny thing about Sherman. After Georgia, after sparing Charleston. After Columbia, he made a deal and Lincoln had to tell him that he did not have the authority to grant such generous terms.

Posted by: no one of any consequence at August 12, 2026 05:45 PM (qFwJc) There is a funny story about that first 'surrender terms' that Sherman passed the bottle around to Joe Johnson and another General there. As he was writing the last part he absent mindedly took a second drink himself and put it away in his pocket. The second Reb general was livid after the incident that he didn't get a second shot. "General Sherman is a HOG! That's right, a HOG! He knew we needed that drink!" Posted by: Oldcat at August 12, 2026 05:49 PM (uhVAy) 262
