Really? Well, if we must have more of this family, first of all, get rid of the former titular character: “Roseanne has to die for artistic reasons.

The Balloon Has Popped For Many Summer Comedies, And That’s Bad For The Movie Business
Last year, Girls Trip was the big success, but other comedies didn’t do well – and this year, more of the same, except without Girls Trip. Is streaming changing the landscape? Or is it action blockbusters?
Can The Berlinale Regain – And Increase – Its Status As A Film Festival With Two New Directors?
The German Culture Ministry thinks the Berlin Film Festival will become “more feminine” with a woman managing director, and also that “the festival would take on a ‘younger, more international and more adventurous’ direction under its new leadership” – Locarno Film Festival director Carlo Chatrian and movie industry executive Mariette Rissenbeek.
MoviePass Decides To Implement Surge Pricing For Popular Movies
Like … Uber? Yes, exactly: “Similar to the way ride-hailing services such as Uber and Lyft up their ride prices when demand is higher, MoviePass will add a surcharge to see films when demand is higher, such as during a movie’s opening weekend.”
Study: Hollywood Is Getting Less Diverse
The results of the annual study show that in 2017, just 16% of films were directed by women and only 10% came from film-makers of color, the latter statistic at the lowest it’s been since the DGA started reporting in 2013.

That partnership deal, a first for PBS, could come within the next six months.”
How Bollywood Broke The Shackles Of Silliness And Started Addressing Serious Women’s Issues
“This is the summer the vibrator arrives in Bollywood. No woman in the 105-year history of the Hindi film industry has ever pleasured herself. But this month, in the blockbuster Veere Di Wedding and Netflix’s Lust Stories, no fewer than three women are featured in onanistic embrace. It is one sign of the rapid change under way in India’s most prolific cultural industry. The past decade has seen Bollywood’s first gay kiss, a hit film about sanitary towels and the industry’s highest-ever grossing film – about the lives of two female wrestlers.”
New EU Copyright Law Could Block Legitimate Legal Content
The effect would be similar to how YouTube tries to detect and block copyrighted audio and video from being posted on its site, but it would be applied to all types of content, including text, images, and software, as well as audio and video. Critics say this section of the proposal, Article 13, would lead to legitimate content, such as satire or short excerpts, being blocked even outside the EU.
How Technologies Will Transform The Ways We Interact With Art. Are You Ready?
Many would argue that the ways we look at and interpret a painting, experience a performance or appreciate an architectural location have not changed in millennia.
