Great read. It’s always frustrated me that criticism of the uncomfortable Munich sex scene never accounts for the sex scene in the beginning of the movie. The two scenes are so obviously in conversation with each other…
A defense of the sex scene in Steven Spielberg's Munich.
20 years ago I wrote this piece. It was not really anything close to a consensus opinion, and still isn't. I'm proud of it.

I don't know what will happen in NYC tonight, but I do know that regardless of outcome, any number of public figures, celebrities, politicians and institutions that oppose Mamdani have done so with a level of rhetorical ugliness, racism, and dishonesty that should neither be forgotten nor forgiven.

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.
OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.
A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

Seen a few Q&As in the past month with filmmakers releasing their movie with Netflix, and have been enjoying the different ways they manage to get in a passive aggressive dig at their studio with effusive praise for the theatrical experience.

Does the OP think this is… impressive? Good? Like… never be the same, how? They’ll be bad? Like this is?
AI sitcom accidentally a Lynchian fever dream. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and insane lament.

It should take at least 8 months from theatrical release day to be able to stream something. Maybe longer.
Are the movies the problem? Sure, somewhat. But I continue to maintain the decline in box office isn't scarcity of product but the short theatrical window. The casual moviegoer will not go to the theater if they can see it on a streaming in a matter of weeks. They just won't.
Box Office Massacre: October Revenue Falls to 27-Year Low, Excluding the Pandemic
The dramatic downturn in North America is due to a scarcity of product and the failure of fall event pics to connect with audiences, including the ill-fated 'Tron: Ares' and the Dwayne Johnson starrer...

Big week for confirming the theory that after 2017 Disney instituted a strict “no more good directors” policy when it comes to Star Wars features.

I’m hardly an expert on these things but I bet $120 Million would be considered less of a ‘gamble’ if the movie was allowed to play in theaters for longer than 6 days or whatever. 🤔
