sorry! it's GOOD NEWS, 1947, directed by Charles Walters (his debut picture)

it's presently tied with ANATOMY OF A MURDER for my favorite movie of all time. and, gun to my head, I'd go with GN.

Buffy: New Sunnydale Continuation Series Scrapped, Sarah Michelle Gellar Confirms - IGN Hulu has decided to scrap Buffy: New Sunnydale, its planned continuation series that would have once again featured Sarah Michelle Gellar as the show's original Slayer.

New Sunnydale is dead before it even started. Doctor Who seems to be in limbo. I'm honestly starting to think the real Hellmouth is governed by television executives. www.ign.com/articles/buf...

See they’re saying the opposite on Reddit. That Chloe Zhao must have changed everything so much that it was a different show

It is interesting how this is happening just before the Oscars where Zhao just might win

Sorry everyone, I made a deal with a monkey's paw to trade out any possibility of more Buffy for two lost episodes of Doctor Who

A Hacker Accidentally Broke Into the FBI’s Epstein Files Plus: A porn-quitting app exposed the masturbation habits of hundreds of thousands of users, Russian hackers are trying to take over people’s Signal accounts, and more.

www.wired.com/story/securi...
Three years ago, a hacker broke into a server full of emails, images, and other assorted documents.

The hacker was so appalled by materials, which appeared to contain child abuse images, that intruder left a message threatening to turn over the evidence to the FBI.

One of the best and more often repeated episodes of Maigret. I think the repeat on 24 Feb 64 led to writer Margot Bennett being sounded out to write for Doctor Who (her name appears on paperwork from 28 Feb and (undated but probably) 2 March).

Grandma jailed after AI error linked her to crime in state she never visited: lawyer The charges were later dismissed after bank records showed she was in Tennessee at the time

If only a college professor could condescendingly yell at her that AI is useful, I bet she’d feel so much better about all this

I think the real answer is that John Carpenter didn’t really feel like directing anything that would be too much work, after nearly killing himself on low budgets for 3 decades.

Which would also explain why his most recent directing work was over zoom

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

Makes me think about how for years John Carpenter talked about making a Western, even wrote a few in the 1970s.

And then in the 2000s, his fan & scriptwriter Drew McWeeney tried to get him interested in movies again by offering to write a Western

Carpenter snorted β€œI don’t wanna direct horses”

This was a perfect storm of an episode because Ramzee is a tornado of fun and a lightning storm of erudition and me and that @nadiashireen.bsky.social were blown away.

My big β€œwhat if” for THE PHANTOM is if it had been directed by original choice Joe Dante. At the time, Simon Wincer had just done FREE WILLY and so was a bigger name & Dante got made exec

As it stands, the film is wonderful entertainment, but I just feel Dante would’ve given it an extra level

Ms Rachel has shifted from advocating for children killed by bombs that our taxes pay for, to advocating for children that our government is imprisoning without cause, which our taxes also pay for.
This isn’t what a kid’s entertainer should feel the need to do, but since we’re here, more ppl should.

I'm struggling to explain to non-fans how 'they found two missing episodes' feels. I think it might genuinely be a whole human emotion only accessible to Dr Who fans, like we're deep sea fish who can smell magnets.
