re: Kathleen Kennedy will lead the opening and closing ceremonies for the 2028 L.A. Olympics

She will ruin that just like she did with Star Wars and Indiana Jones.

Indiana Jones.

Did you not like the first one?

She was doing them from the start.

(yes, Temple of Doom was unwatchable, with Spielbers wife as the annoying one in that movie)

This is going to be political as shite isn’t it?

Election year of course it will be.

Not sure weird is bad. I miss the old South where eccentrics were a dime a dozen and made it all so interesting.

They are in a different world tho, where they are catered to every whim. Worked on a set where they flew an LA guy on location just to make soup once a day for a secondary principle.

If you find yourself on set, hang with the union guys, they always have the best craft services in my observation.

Behind so many movies you all have watched, made since she worked with Spielberg on ET

She was "behind" those Spielberg movies in the same way the electrician that rigged the lights or the caterer that delivered food to the set was "behind" them. A Spielberg movie is his baby alone. He's well known for controlling and micro-managing every aspect. And if any producer attached deserves a sliver of credit, it was Frank Marshall, not her.

Most of what she has been given any authority or autonomy over has sucked, despite the fact she had ample time to learn at the feet of the master. Plus, she's old and let's face it, old people generally suck at things.

:LSU Kige:

Marshall & Kennedy were instrumental, tho unseen and unnoticed, as you did point out.

Was the gruntiest of grunts on one or more on that list. Face it, Hollywood has wrecked more good movies since the 2nd era of film (when the scriptwriters held sway) because profit is more important than content now. Sad for the industry but the individuals were wiped out by corporate masters in the 80's wave of dealmaking.

Obviously you have never gotten a gum job from a granny!



Kids today are sheep, if you are collecting Social Security by now, you are in a generation with fewer sheep and lemming.

Kathleen Kennedy, the former head of Lucasfilm, has been tapped as head of ceremonies and content for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

Is this the fricking Bee?

Holy shite, they are dedicated to gaslighting this chick as some great creator. It's a satire novel on how to fail upward.

Live action “sex affirming” bottom surgery performed on main stage surrounded by the founding fathers being burned in effigy.
