Fell down a bit of a Hasbro financials rabbit hole, and it blew my mind. I don't think people understand how much Hasbro depends on Magic and how different this is than in the past. In the second quarter of 2025, Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming (which is roughly 80% Magic, 10% D&D and 8% Monopoly Go and a couple percent for licensing) made 94.5% of Hasbro's total profit.

Is the bottom flat or inclined? I usually stop at about 50 inclined (with a bit more room), but when flat it's about 110 if I remember correctly. This is for standard gaming cards, thicker cards will vary of course

Utterly shocked, confused and angry about the sudden loss of one of Korea's brightest screen lights. Rather than try and put words to these feelings I'd like to share images from some of Lee Sun-kyun's many great roles. I'm so sad there won't be any more.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-67…

✨ Patton Oswalt's Closet Picks ✨ A few months back, @pattonoswalt visited our films closet, where he shared his love for 1940s film noir, the “weirdly timely” shock comedy of John Waters, and movies with memorable soundtracks.

The extraordinary, one of a kind William Friedkin in our films closet. ❤️
We're remembering the late writer-director and passionate cinephile by revisiting his charming visit in October of 2014. criterion.com/shop/collectio…

I'm incredibly proud of how transparent our union is. In the @WGAWest's strike announcement, we included a list of our proposals, and the AMPTP's responses. Read it for yourself: it explains in black and white we're forced to go on strike.

#ATaleOfTwoSisters still managed to creep me out even though I have seen it countless times. I had forgotten some of the detail of the ending. Miike’s #Audition seems to be one of the sources of inspiration & perhaps Henry James #TheTurnOfTheScrew

Don’t write off popular Korean-language TV series as sappy melodrama. These shows will expand your conception of what storytelling can be, @shansquared writes: on.theatln.tc/nKlvX5n

Trying to be patient and not disheartened about people again misunderstanding one of my Oscar nomination morning phrases (deja vu to "bamboo ceiling"-gate two years ago) because general cultural literacy about Asian American history is so low.
Michelle Yeoh has made history as the first person who identifies as Asian to ever be nominated for best actress at the #Oscars: thr.cm/DEkv7B1

Incredibly sad to learn of the passing of Yoon Jeong-hee, one of the greats of Korean cinema. She had retired 29 years ago, returning only once in POETRY, one of the best performances in Korean film history.
Some of her best roles included SPLENDID OUTING and THE DIVINE BOW.
