50 years ago, 1973's "Soylent Green" depicted a nightmarish future: the oceans are dead, corporations are in control, and many are homeless. Um...

"In 2022, Earth is overpopulated and totally polluted; the natural resources have been exhausted, and the nourishment of the population is provided by Soylent Industries, a company that makes a food consisting of plankton from the oceans. In New York City, when Soylent's member of the board, William R. Simonson, is murdered, apparently by a burglar at the Chelsea Towers West where he lives, efficient Detective Thorn is assigned to investigate the case with his partner Solomon "Sol" Roth. Thorn comes to the fancy apartment and meets Simonson's bodyguard Tab Fielding and the "furniture" (woman that is rented together with the flat) Shirl and the detective concludes that the executive was not a burglary victim but executed. Further, he finds that the Governor Santini and other powerful men want to disrupt and end Thorn's investigation. But Thorn continues his work and discovers a bizarre, disturbing secret of the ingredient used to manufacture Soylent Green."—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Russian movie theaters are openly stealing Western films, and going unpunished

After Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, #Hollywood's biggest film studios stopped selling their films to Russia. Despite that, Russian movie theaters have continued showing U.S.-made films, now pirated from online platforms.

And instead of a crackdown on piracy, the Russian government is now considering legalizing theft.

Russian state television has been vocal in painting Western #democracies, especially the U.S., as the reason for all of Russia's problems. The desire for U.S.-made products inside Russia, however, remains high, with the country's providers turning to illegal schemes to cover the demand.

Unpopular opinion : Dune part 3 will be nothing but misery porn and not worth bothering with. I liked the Paul-as-basically-a-hero vibe of the first book much more.

I know, I know, shoot me now.

Nevertheless, this detailed breakdown of the sandworm-riding scene is well worth watching. Turns out that Abu Dhabi had the wrong kind of dunes so they build their own.
