Journal Journal: Just Binge Watching Avengers Endgame with My Nephew and...
I don't think Avengers Endgame is kids friendly; it's really violent, but not that different from the previous instalments. There are a few curse words, but they are just like the previous ones. Avengers endgame 123movies is appropriate for ages 17 and up, in my opinion. There is much too much cursing and brutality in this film. I despised the way I was depicted as Santa, particularly because I was never

I would have kept praying instead of recording a video if I were on that plane. But hey that's just me. Maybe that person already feeling hopeless about the whole situation. Can't blame him/her either. What a terrible moment for the passengers. Glad the plane landed safely.

Meanwhile world hunger is on the rise. About 700 million people go to bed on an empty stomach each night since 2014. More and more people chronically hungry due to the pandemic. Let that sink in.

Submission + - Why Blaming the Streaming Algorithms? (bbc.com)
entertainme writes: So is Scorsese right to suggest that streaming services reduce content to the "lowest common denominator"?
Journalist and media lecturer Tufayel Ahmed suggests they are an easy target, and the reality is a little more complex. He says the focus on "pulling in the numbers" can mean some of the best shows don't get the promotion and are therefore cancelled. "Take a show like The OA on Netflix", he says, "which was critically adored but cancelled after two seasons, the latter of which didn't hit the same audience numbers. "Some of the best stuff on streaming seems to get little buzz, while tons of marketing and publicity is thrown behind more generic fare that they know people will watch. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy."
Scorsese himself directly benefited from this by relying on Netflix to fund his 2019 gangster film The Irishman after traditional studios baulked at the cost. "There's an argument to be made about streaming services investing in publicity and marketing for these projects to create awareness," says Ahmed. But if responsibility in part lands on the shoulders of streaming services, the choices of the audience themselves cannot be forgotten.

And for first run films at least $11 of that goes straight to the studio that produced the movie. That's why popcorn and drinks cost so much; the cinema makes all its profit there, not from your ticket.
and also movie merch...
