> the edits are not reviewed effectively either

But when I tried to fix typo in the cast list of a movie, my submission was rejected:

Poor boys from India game a system that was set up by Rich Tech Bros in Silicon Valley to fund their "family foundations" and 20-room houses in Atherton? I don't call it Outrage; I call it "Slumdog Millionaire: Part II"

Except it’s lying. Slumdog actually had the talent.

Is the Apu trilogy good for real?

It's been many years since I last saw it, but I remember the first film in particular as being wonderful, yes. Hopeful and sad and luminously shot.

It’s a long arc, but I think we are bending away from this.

It’s harder than ever to convincingly be a competitive content creator.

Going from largely Insta photos -> tiktok forced non-linear video editing / performance on fast trend cycles.

IMDB originated in Bristol in the UK. It was, so I’m told, started by an ex-HP staffer from the HP site in Bristol, UK and originally written in Perl.

Unfortunately, it was absorbed into Amazon.
