"Frances lives in 2013, and yet she refracts cinematic light from 1959 and 1964 and 1986. She is inside a movie learning that life is not a movie." — Annie Baker pic.twitter.com/LP5I6IYhWn

debuting today on Netflix, Soderbergh's The Laundromat, based on my friend @Jake_Bernstein's Panama Papers book, Secrecy World. I worked on all three of these projects to various degrees so I'm deeply biased, but you should watch it (and read the book!)

Uber and Lyft almost certainly need regulatory pressure. But to think the same regulations apply across the board, whether you’re dealing with the country-sized economy of Uber or a 20-person media outlet, is astonishingly off the mark.

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

“While Netflix is still releasing plenty of specials, the company is now investing more in areas like sketch comedy and shorter sets from lesser-known comedians.”
Netflix Throttling Standup Bucks Spigot
“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
