New season of gilmore girl release date

Ratings revealed: Netflix continues to give us sporadic insights into how its top shows are performing. We were told this week that French original Lupin is on course to be watched by 70M households in 28 days, making it more popular than the wildly popular Bridgerton, which is projected to be watched by 63M households. While it’s nice to have the transparency, there are two things we’d say on this: 1) Netflix made these forecasts with around 10 days of viewing data. We have no idea how Netflix arrives at these projections, or if shows actually meet them. 2) Don’t compare these projections with bonafide ratings Netflix has disclosed for other international hits, such as The Queen’s Gambit, which had an actual audience of 62M after four weeks. … [Read more...] about International Insider: Netflix By Numbers; Cannes Question Marks; Epic Games’ Movie Push; Bye-Bye ‘Peaky Blinders’

The bloodshed is not likely to end anytime soon. Intra-Afghan talks are faltering, and the Taliban are gaining on the battlefield. Some Afghans cling to the hope that the Biden administration will follow a more conditions-based approach to U.S. withdrawal. Biden has promised to end America’s “forever wars” and was against Obama’s surge, but U.N. and Afghan officials say the Taliban actively maintain their alliance with Al Qaeda, in violation of the peace deal. Without an enduring U.S. presence, many predict that talks will collapse and that the country could once again plunge into chaos, as it did when the Soviet army departed. “If we see a total disengagement of the international community, the naturally ensuing result will be a state of civil war,” says Davood Moradian, the director of the Afghan Institute for Strategic Studies. The Taliban, he says, would be just one of many warring factions. “We have already seen this reality in Libya, … [Read more...] about Highway to Hell: A Trip Down Afghanistan’s Deadliest Road

It’s been a minute since Avengers: Age of Ultron, the first MCU movie to really feature Wanda and the only one to really feature Pietro, who died saving Hawkeye and a kid during the evacuation of Sokovia. The movies have so many other characters and conflicts to deal with that there hasn’t been room for Wanda or anyone else to mourn, or even discuss, Pietro. But losing your twin brother — especially when the two of you had long been each other’s only family after everyone else was killed by a Stark bomb — isn’t something you just let go of, any more easily than losing a lover. So when Wanda and Geraldine(*) are talking about the new twins, and Wanda recalls her own twinhood, it’s startling — a reference to a long-forgotten character in the franchise, but also the most significant intrusion of Wanda’s real life into this fantasy/prison/whatever. Geraldine blurts out a reference to Ultron killing Pietro, and this is even worse than … [Read more...] about ‘WandaVision’ Recap: Sibling Revelry

One piece of history is there permanently, Noah noted. “No matter what other changes, the bust of Martin Luther King is staying. Because no one wants to be the guy who removes the bust of MLK. If it a tornado hits the office, it’s staying.” … [Read more...] about Trevor Noah On Joe Biden’s First Day, And Why He’ll Rip Your Nipples Off
