Oh good, I was wondering how it could get worse
I just heard from someone at Netflix. TCM is apparently going with the other linear networks to Discovery Global.
Here is the official comment on what WBD assets will be acquired by Netflix:
"We are acquiring the film and television studios, HBO and HBO Max."

Chloe Zhao’s adaptation of the novel Hamnet reimagines the poetic act of creating the greatest play in the English language.

After finding Hamnet the novel irritatingly mannered, I was much more taken by Chloe Zhao's direct, earthy approach to the movie. Thankful for whoever made sure it was told chronologically 🙌

Parul Seghal's exegesis of how Mary Shelley's and Guillermo del Toro's Frankensteins reflect and link their creators is the best piece of culture writing I've read this year. It's as rich in thought and feeling as the texts she's dissecting.

I have now watched Black Bag. At least Presence had the promising concept.
I haven't watched Black Bag yet, but I did watch Presence last night, and despite the promising concept, it did not change my opinion that Soderbergh should've followed through on retirement

I don’t care a whit about New York theater history, but I adored Blue Moon. There are definitely moments — lines of dialogue, but also the way the actors look at each other — that achieve levitation.

Having to watch Hedda on Amazon Prime because they gave it a bare-minimum theatrical release is anti-art.

It is a really lovely speech from the Pope on cinema, except for the part where D.W. Griffith is quoted because, eesh.
I just want to know how *this* idiosyncratic audience was assembled.

CVS is best thought of as a kind of interactive museum exhibit where you can experience everything that has gone badly wrong with American capitalism.
You almost have to respect how CVS keeps frantically changing their systems like every other month and each time it gets progressively worse

Thought Guillermo del Toro doing a movie about how humans are the real monsters sounded like a no-brainer and then the son of a bitch outdoes himself and makes a movie about how no one is doomed to be a monster instead
