"We wanted to go in this provocative way, and we assumed the risk that it would divide people -- and hopefully in a good way," Esmail said of intense reactions to the ending. "Because that provokes conversation.”

 

The movie was only playing in four theaters, basically. I get wanting to make a PG-13 edit for general audiences but the director's cut is supposed to have a lot more footage, which would probably fix the pacing complaints. Knowing Snyder's theatrical cuts' reputation for being subpar, I'm not even going to watch the PG-13 versions. What was the point of making butchered theatrical versions of a movie that was only showing in a handful of theaters? You don't really need to censor something that's on Netflix.

It's outstanding, but it's not your typical movie in the sense of what it's designed to convey. Take it as a portrayal of how people might respond to the events in the movie, rather than being about the characters in the movie, and the ending should not be that disappointing.

I'm no Trump alarmist, but the quote itself is pretty bad, depending on what exactly he means:

they and others of the lamestream media will be thoroughly scrutinized for their knowingly dishonest and corrupt coverage of people, things, and events

That said, I have my doubts that he'll actually follow through on this. He made similar claims in 2016, saying he'd "open up the libel laws" and use them to go after the media or something, but nothing ever came of that either.

It was probably edited to make him look more orange

The open source, decentralized social network Mastodon is releasing an update designed to make it easier for users to use the platform.

I don't think I'd call these folks marginalized, but they're certainly not rich or entitled for the most part. I think this all boils down to, do actors and writers deserve residuals or not. If they do, than their demands are largely reasonable, but if not, then they're not.

Interestingly enough, if a deal isn't struck I'd also expect Bill Maher to bring his show back. So we could see an era of late night talk shows resuming during the strike.

MLB seems like they want to fix this, wouldn't be shocked to see the other leagues quickly follow suit once they do.

 

The actress explained the fourth season of the show will abide by the rules of the writers and actors strikes in not promoting struck work. However, the WGA argues that 'The Drew Barrymore Show' is a struck show and it plans to picket outside its studios this week.

I see both sides. Haven't seen the movie but it's not so good that we're exactly missing an artistic masterpiece here. But I don't like the idea of art being hidden due to political correctness either.

But it being on Internet Archive is a good middle ground; if you want it, watch it there. Although if one would want a remaster of it I'd understand.
