A friend in Spain was feeling unwell and took a covid test. The good news is it’s not covid. The bad news it is the flu.
The astonishing news is Spanish covid tests are dual-Covid/flu tests and why in the hell are these not available everywhere?!

Ah, I see we're just using "cinematic universe" instead of "filmography" now. That's a healthy and meaningful evolution of language.

When you feel like dirt and take a covid test and it’s negative you get relief, sure, but you’re also left in the grey area of not knowing what’s wrong with you. Ruling out a twofor, or getting the positive on the flu test to explain it, seems like the ideal test situation.

I like how these films became so terrified of unimportance that they just started throwing Harry Potter characters into the titles to make sure people come see them. And then they didn’t.
‘Fantastic Beasts 3’ has been officially titled…
‘FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE SECRETS OF DUMBLEDORE’.
The film’s release date has also moved up to April 15, 2022.

In super short, she’s saying how it was shot for widescreen (Moonwalker’s cinema release) but all the action is essentially contained to the middle of the frame so when it showed on TV circa ’89 the image, while cropped, lost no impact (I’ve simulated it haphazardly here)

He also wrote Strange Days, which has more to say about race in America than almost any white-produced film of the past 30 years. It has a hint of "not all cops" to it by the end, but it's undeniably willing to take on systemic racism in the LAPD.
