The Pitt is set in almost real time over a single shift in the overstretched emergency department of a busy Pittsburgh hospital, showcasing the chaos and urgency faced by healthcare professionals.
A time jump resets this show's character dynamics with Rue (Zendaya) working off her debt to a drug dealer and seemingly nearly all the series' other female characters engaged in sex work of some kind. Sam Levinson's vision of a woman's life is pretty depressing.
The Truth and Tragedy of Moriah Wilson on Netflix is so good. I've followed this case since day one, and I'm so glad they finally did a documentary that honours her life and brilliance as an athlete, not just the tragedy.
Faces of Death follows a pathologist trying to understand what happens when we die, subjecting himself and the viewer to a series of 'snuff' films depicting violent deaths.
The screenshot my little sister provided declared that ANDRE IGUODALA IS IGGY THE REF, a zebra, which was burying the lede. As it turned out, not only is Andre Iguodala Iggy the ref, but Stephen Curry (on top of producing the movie) is Lenny Williamson the giraffe, Nicola Coughlan is Olivia Burke the ostrich, and Gabrielle Union is Jett Fillmore the black panther.
In the fourth season of Industry, everyone has a story to sell: a neutered fund or loveless marriage, shamed husbands, a life aimless after retirement, a payment-processing firm hampered by its ties to porn and sex work. These labels seem to indicate mistaken priorities or misplaced trust. But they are just narratives to be refined or redefined. Everything is up for grabs if you tell the right story.
Whereas other characters are cold and sharklike, Yas feels her way through the world-and uses her vulnerability to manipulate others. Being born into wealth taught her that none of us is in command of our fate, so we had better cheat for whatever control we can. She's the statuesque girlboss for the new gilded age.
The historic film studios recorded global revenue of $37.3 billion, representing a 5% decrease compared to the previous year due to the decline in the cable business with a loss of advertising on the TNT, Discovery Channel, Cartoon Network and CNN channels.
Best documentary has become the toughest Oscar category to predict in recent years, especially when it comes to nominations. The documentary branch has become famously quirky in recent years, passing over such populist, acclaimed, and decorated titles as Won't You Be My Neighbor? , American Symphony, and Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story . Past performance is no guarantee of success-I've even heard rumors that some voters will refuse on principle to nominate a film by a previous Oscar winner-and geography is not destiny.
Emerald Fennell's adaptation of Emily Brontë's beloved novel has been driving people mad since the project was first announced. Now, you can see it for yourself. Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi play Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, two young adults ( their ages are questionable here) with a deeply destructive obsession with each other that only spirals further when the Lintons (Shazad Latif and a scene-stealing Alison Oliver) move in at Thrushcross Grange across from the Earnshaws at Wuthering Heights.
The television show I'm most enjoying right now: There is a Hollywood story in David Niven's autobiography Bring on the Empty Horses, in which the screenwriter Charles MacArthur asks Charlie Chaplin how to make the comic pratfall scene of a person slipping on a banana peel new again. Chaplin suggests that MacArthur start with a lady walking down the street and cut to a shot of the banana peel on the sidewalk, which the lady steps over-right before she falls down a manhole.
