From Deadline:
The National Film Registry of the Library of Congress has made its annual addition of 25 films to be preserved for their position as American cultural touchstones. This year, the Film Registry honored the work of the late Leslie Nielsen with Airplane!, and the late Blake Edwards with The Pink Panther. They've also gone heavy on 1970s films, choosing seminal films All the President's Men, The Exorcist, Grey Gardens, McCabe and Mrs. Miller, and Saturday Night Fever.
Shaz from FL writes: "OpenAI's "Sora" is concerning for many reasons, the future of filmmaking being one of them."
Academy Award-winning director Alexander Payne stands out as one of my favourite directors who captures the pain, family struggle, friendship, and life itself in a unique but powerful and compelling way, The Holdovers is no different
The biggest night of the year dedicated to television, The Emmys, made it's long awaited return this month. Several popular shows enjoyed several nominations such as Succession, Better Call Saul and The Last of Us
Yay for Empire Strikes Back being in here (also THX 1138, so that's 2 for Lucas this year). Even though the new age of Blu-rays and digital media, make it unlikely that films will be lost for all ages, it's cool to see this organization still preserving films for all times. Nice to know that even if civilization collapses one day Star Wars may be enjoyed by others.
