O media literacy, where art thou? (Not on Threads! Never on Threads!)

A post on Threads asks: “At the end of Mariah Carey Fantasy remix is she singing "what you gonna do when you get

“If Brown's sentencing includes prison time, it could affect his joint tour with Usher, The R&B Tour: Raymond & Brown, with him potentially missing 12 dates.

The shows he would miss include four dates in Atlanta, GA (November 7, 8, 10, 11), a date in Inglewood, CA (November 15), two in New Orleans, LA (November 20, 21), one in Houston, TX (November 24), two in Miami Gardens, FL (December 3, 5), and two in Tampa, FL (December 11, 12).”

Wistfully reminiscing about the time I was the editor on this Scorsese NYT op-ed.

Martin Scorsese: I Said Marvel Movies Aren't Cinema. Let Me Explain.
Cinema is an art form that brings you the unexpected. In superhero movies, nothing is at risk, a director says.
Nov. 4, 2019
"It's a perilous time in film exhibition, and there are fewer independent theaters than ever," says Martin Scorsese. Jasu Hu
By Martin Scorsese
Mr. Scorsese is an Academy Award-winning director, writer and producer.

In the past 20 years, as we all know, the movie business has changed on all fronts.
But the most ominous change has happened stealthily and under cover of night: the gradual but steady elimination of risk. Many films today are perfect products manufactured for immediate consumption.
Many of them are well made by teams of talented individuals. All the same, they lack something essential to cinema: the unifying vision of an individual artist. Because, of course, the individual artist is the riskiest factor of all.

Do I argue that the hilariously terrible MAN IN THE MIRROR: THE MICHAEL JACKSON story -- in which Flex Alexander resembles ashy, near-death E.T. by the end of the movie -- might still be the most emotionally honest dramatization of MJ's life we've gotten yet? Yes! Yes, I do.

You can't and shouldn't condemn Ye's antisemitism without *also* condemning the years of anti-blackness and misogynoir. And yet...so many people do. ALL of it is sickening, and all of it is a part of his legacy. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/a...

Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on X that “Kanye West should never have been invited to headline Wireless. This government stands firmly with the Jewish community, and we will not stop in our fight to confront and defeat the poison of antisemitism.”

Earlier Tuesday, the rapper had made a last-minute plea to avoid a possible ban, issuing a statement in which he said he wanted to come to London to bring “unity, peace and love through my music” and was happy to meet members of Britain’s Jewish community to hear their concerns.

In this same article:

The price hikes come a month after Netflix abandoned its deal to buy Warner Bros.'s studios and streaming business, declining to counter the Paramount Skydance bid for WBD in its entirety to $31/share. Paramount paid Netflix the $2.8 billion deal-breakup fee once Warner Bros. Discovery terminated its agreement with Netflix in favor of Paramount's "superior" offer.

Atter walking away from a WB deal, "Now we move forward, and we move forward with $2.8 billion in our pocket that we didn't have a few weeks ago," Netflix CFO Spence Neumann said at an investor conference earlier this month.

Wild to think that almost a decade ago, I was criticizing Disney for reaching back *only* 25 years in the past, and look where we are now lolol 😭 slate.com/culture/2017...

Bill Condon’s Beauty and the Beast, starring Emma Watson as Belle, is the latest on a seemingly endless conveyor belt of Disney live-action remakes that have thus far included the releases of Alice in Wonderland (and its sequel), Cinderella, and The Jungle Book—but this time, the stakes are seemingly higher. Whereas those films relied upon sources half a century old or older, distant enough to be remembered fondly by multiple generations, but not recent enough to rankle possessive, nostalgia-obsessed millennials, Beauty and the Beast is different. It’s only been 25 years since the original’s release, and the film has not faded much from the cultural imagination, thanks to home video re-releases, a hit Broadway adaptation that closed a decade ago, and the internet. It’s widely considered the crème de la crème as far as Disney—and Western animation, period—goes, having the distinction of being the first animated film to be nominated for Best Picture.

I’m a black woman, and I love GOODFELLAS—good luck classifying me. If you’ve got an issue with me, take your shot. You’ve never seen the likes of me. I’m so unpredictable, so heterodox.

Weiss's social life, for the most part, didn't suffer. For a time, she dated Kate McKinnon, the future "Saturday Night Live" star. "Her whole thing in college was 'I'm gay and I'm pro-Israel-good luck classifying me,'" the former classmate who worked with her said. "If you've got an issue with me, take your shot. You've never seen the likes of me. I'm so unpredictable, so heterodox.’”

This is such an extraordinary reaction shot, no notes, perfection

Where I came down:

"It seems the moment requires more than just presenting questions and what-ifs. It needs a stance, a commitment to an ethos and to the story it's ostensibly trying to tell, and an honesty about consequences. Ryan Coogler did this with Sinners, crafting a story that's richly entertaining while being acutely critical of the capitalistic and cultural forces that have leeched off Black Americans for centuries. Ditto Kleber Mendonça Filho's thriller The Secret Agent, a sprawling yet intimate film about political refugees living under aliases during Brazil's military dictatorship. In one scene, a resistance leader named Elza (Maria Fernanda Cândido) expresses sympathy toward former educator Marcelo (Wagner Moura) and his father-in-law Sr. Alexandre (Carlos Francisco) for the death of Marcelo's wife, and vows that Brazil will pay for it. "I disagree," Sr. Alexandre replies plainly. "With all due respect. It'll pay nothing. It won't pay s***.""
