Good bye theatrical.
Theaters missed their chance to participate in PVOD. And battle over length of the theatrical window no longer matters.
Big Media is going to shift more and more of their output to D2C SVOD platforms where recurring revenue far exceeds one off transactions https://t.co/iy7joBJ0JO

Goodbye Yahoo Groups; Years Of Content To Be Purged Within Weeks
This can’t be happening. Yahoo Groups are an enormously important repository of culture. Shutting the service down with effectively no notice? That wailing sound you hear is archivists who know there aren’t resources to capture it all that quickly. https://t.co/CuWUWSFSgg

“I had an affair with her for years. I regret that. A lot. It was a very sweet relationship. We’d see each other once in a while. It was always sweet; we’d never fight or anything. It was very sweet, that’s all I can say. And the accusation comes one day . . . from nowhere. I couldn’t understand, even now. I don’t know why. When I heard the thing, I tried to call her a few times and text her and I said, ‘I don’t understand.’ But she didn’t call me. The relationship was super-sweet, smiling. Goodbye, come back soon. I miss you already.”

I would merely comment that if Harold Bloom sexually assaulted Naomi Wolf and no other women, it would be the first time I had ever heard of an academic man participating in a single, standalone case of sexual harassment or assault. https://t.co/jIXYJVB225

“The first words out of his mouth were ‘I’m not crazy.’ He said it with a grin, but it struck me as an odd joke. Whoever said Ang Lee was crazy?”

“Parasite is already a blockbuster in South Korea, where it grossed $70.9 million this summer. He’s curious how North American moviegoers will receive it, with its universal class themes and culturally specific details — like the failed Taiwanese castella shop Ki-taek once ran, the frictions of modern South Korean socioeconomics, or the “ramdon,” a rendition of a jjapaguri instant noodle dish that centers one of the film’s most virtuosic suspense sequences.”

Any "cop" who wears a Punisher logo in his official capacity is identifying law enforcement with an outlaw. These "cops" are a disgrace to serious police officers everywhere. They show an imbecilic level of irresponsibility and should be fired immediately. https://t.co/8mJ0Mzp89x
