The entertainment system was down on my flight to Mexico so instead I decided to open ye olde notes app and rank the many entertainment system moments that helped make 2025 bearable. It’s *the* definitive list, as far as I’m concerned!

The fact that Warner Brothers gave Ken Russell literally any money to make this movie in 1971 is still 1000x more unhinged (in the most incredible, inspired way) than them giving a billion dollars to Paul Thomas Anderson to make truly anything today.

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.
