As I said a few weeks ago, Warner Bros. should have been applauded for taking a risk on Mickey 17. This weekend they'll be rewarded for taking a risk on Sinners. That's exactly how this business should work!

When I am feeling cynical, I often turn to this slim volume: _On Tyranny_, by Timothy Snyder. It's both a tonic and a call to action. It's both idealistic and wholly practical ("scrub your computer of malware on a regular basis"). And it's even more powerful when presented by John Lithgow.
Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."

We have the final trailer for Gladiator II. Honestly, I thought the original Gladiator was a good movie but overhyped. I do get the technical brilliance of these films, but the story just left me a little cold last time.
