Cable (Warner Film), original English<\/em>
Normal people have been anguishing over the proposed Netflix buyout of Warner Bros affecting the future of film. I have been anguishing over the hundred years of film and television history about to be flushed down the memory hole because producers and directors told stories instead of checking off demographic representation boxes and centering minor characters’ unrelated sexual proclivities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My records show I last saw this in 2018, which makes me sad, but I was still able to chant along with the dialog. “Does it still hold up?” It might
