Go deep on your holiday weekend. The TOP 100 Items on REDEF... The television business was warned of impending disruption for over 15 years. They didn't do much. They stalled. They were indecisive. Started OTT networks, shut many down. Depended on cable companies that rope-a-doped them on bad technology platforms. They watched as new ad dollars bypassed TV. Fumbled on TV everywhere. Acted too tentatively with HULU. Thought NETFLIX would die and licensed it to 100 million subs. And yet, let's face it, they still create great programming and have billions in revenue. But still don't offer the user experiences next-gen consumers want. Binging and such. I'm not crapping on them. I love television. Some of the execs are the smartest people I know. But still, you know what I'm saying. AMC is of the of the four networks I will watch a show from just because it's on that network (also FX, HBO, SHOWTIME).  It announced a service that will stream their network live and ad-free for $5 a month. VARIETY's ANDREW WALLENSTEIN thinks "AMC Premiere Has Paradigm-Shift Potential for TV Biz". Do you? Going to watch this one closely. Pun intended.... Did you know JEAN-CLAUDE VAN DAMME was deemed too short to play THE PREDATOR? Or that SEAN CONNERY passed on MORTAL KOMBAT because he wanted to focus on his golf game? Here are the stories behind the bullets, biceps, and bloodshed of your favorite action films. MediaSET: "I Need a Hero: Action Movie Oral Histories"... MIKE TYSON has lived his life on a standing eight-count. He’s been upset in the ring, convicted of rape and became a laughingstock for snacking on EVANDER HOLYFIELD’s ear. Somehow, he came out of the chaos to become an author, cartoon character and HOLLYWOOD favorite. SportsSET: "Iron Mike"... Movie and TV wardrobes are the result of research, craft, communication, and style. Go behind the scenes with costume designers on how they've created some of movie and TV's most memorable looks. FashionSET: "In Character: Costume Designs for Movies/TV"... My name is JASON HIRSCHHORN. I don't understand BITCOIN, ETHEREUM, BLOCKCHAINS, TOKENS. None of it. And I haven't seen TOY STORY, any HARRY POTTER movies, or THE PRINCESS BRIDE... Longform isn't dead. Patience is dead at the firms saying longform is dead... THIS is AMERICA... Ok, I laughed... Waiting for JAY Z's "What's Going On?" He has it in him... Happy Birthday to JOANNA BOMBERG, NANCY LUBLIN, BRIAN MEDAVOY, BILL ROBINSON, PETER MASTERSON, and DANNY BIGEL. Belated to BRYAN GOLDBERG, JAN-JOOST RUEB, YINKA ADEGOKE, TREVOR GILBERT, MANELI KEYKAVOUSSI, TERI WEINBERG, and GLENN KAINO.
