MCN Curated Headlines
First episode of #TheMandalorian was really fun. "Space Western" is such a perfect genre, and using the Star Wars universe as the backdrop made it feel comfortable and familiar. Excited to see where they take the story.

“Scorsese could be antagonizing voters who feel the MCU isn’t the grim reaper of cinema, but rather an art form that is attracting audiences to theaters like no other franchise has. By championing Netflix, he could be alienating voters who cherish the theatergoing experience and feel streamers are the real nail in the filmmaking coffin.”

Scorsese opened up a discussion about what cinema is and laid out why he thinks non-franchise movies are getting pushed out of the market. Not surprisingly, we're getting "well you're a racist! no, you're the real racist!" twitter instead of considering what he said.

The day before the Gannett/GateHouse merger was announced, GateHouse stock (NEWM) closed at $10.70 a share.
Today, it's trading at $6.66.
Satan aside, that's a 38% drop.
The merger was supposed to lead to $300m in cost savings, but it's already cost $245m in market cap. pic.twitter.com/E3jfbEdsS7

Writing about the monetary value of art (auction prices, box office) continues to venerate the business of selling art over art itself & ignores political values of art making. This reinforces the perception of elitism & inaccessibility of art in all of its forms & is damaging. https://t.co/dRsMX4pLGO
