Fox Corporation generated a profit during its fiscal third quarter despite lower comparative ad revenue, according to the company’s earnings report released on Wednesday.
Overall revenue clocked in at $3.45 billion during the first three months of the year, or around 15 percent lower when compared to the prior year, which was bolstered by higher ad interest due to a Super Bowl telecast.
With the Super Bowl moving to Paramount Global’s CBS this year, things mostly returned to normal for Fox. Compared to Fox Q3 2022 — the last time Fox did not have a Super Bowl — overall revenue fell less than 1 percent.
Fox was also not saddled with a legal charge during its most-recent Q3, unlike last year, when Fox agreed to shell out $787.5 million to Dominion Voting Systems as part of a settlement in their civil defamation case.

Twitter has reinstated the accounts of the prominent journalists who were suspended Thursday after billionaire and self-avowed free speech enthusiast Elon Musk silenced several of his high-profile critics.
New York Times reporter Ryan Mac, The Washington Post’s Drew Harwell, Mashable’s Matt Binder, CNN reporter Donie O’Sullivan, The Intercept’s Micah Lee, political commenter Keith Olbermann, independent journalist Aaron Rupar, and freelance journalist Tony Webster were removed from the platform Thursday night.
In response to Breitbart‘s Rebecca Mansour concern over the suspensions, Musk declared a “7 day suspension for doxxing.

Elon Musk took to Twitter Friday night to announce that he would be reinstating the accounts of multiple high-profile journalists who were suspended from the platform Thursday.
On Dec. 15, former MSNBC and ESPN host Keith Olbermann, CNN correspondent Donie O’Sullivan, New York Times reporter Ryan Mac, Washington Post reporter Drew Harwell, Matt Binder of Mashable, freelance journalist Aaron Rupar and Tony Webster were among those suspended from Twitter.
A few hours after the news broke Thursday, Musk began a poll on his account, asking his nearly 122 million followers whether he should “unsuspend accounts who doxxed my exact location in real-time” now or in seven days. More than 58 percent of the 3.7 million people who voted on the poll said now, resulting in Musk reinstating them.

Elon Musk’s flagship company Tesla’s stock hit a new two-year low of 150.04 on Friday morning, prompting renewed concerns that the billionaire’s recent acquisition and chaotic management of Twitter is crumbling the bedrock of his financial empire.
The stock dive took place the morning after Musk booted several prominent journalists from the platform, and after Musk spent the better part of this week offloading more than 22 million shares of Tesla stock, worth over 3.5 billion. Musk has now sold almost 40 billion worth of the electric vehicle company’s stock in the last year.

The web series “Dispatches From Quarantine” — which has been chronicling the coronavirus quarantines of famous entertainers as they stay at home — featured what turned out to be Carl Reiner’s final interview. In it, the 98-year-old Reiner, who died Monday, talks about his love of comedy, meeting his wife and having kids, and creating the “Dick Van Dyke Show,” which he calls “my best work.”
He also talks about meeting Mel Brooks for the first time on “Your Show of Shows.” It was a friendship that endured: During quarantine, Reiner says of Brooks, “He comes every night. We watch ‘Jeopardy,’ among other things. We watch movies we remember fondly, you know, old-time movies.”

The Sense of an Ending tells the story of a man becomes haunted by his past and is presented with a mysterious legacy that causes him to re-think his current situation in life.
In the interview conducted by Phoebe Winter, Broadbent talks about how much he ‘loved the character’ and how he would adore to play Tony. Harriet talks about how this role was quite different to other roles that she’s taken on and how this appealed to try something a little different.
They talk about working together previously and how working on this new project put them at ease. They also...

A prize-winning novel becomes a big-screen drama, but is it any good? Our review of The Sense Of An Ending...
The memory is a peculiar thing that can seamlessly edit distant recollections with a rose-tinted gloss. Therefore an inaccurate yet pristine highlight reel is the only thing available when trying to reminiscence over hazy past events. This retentive conundrum is at the centre of Julian Barnes' 2011 Booker Prize winning novel The Sense Of An Ending, which has been adapted by British playwright Nick Payne for its on-screen transition.
Jim Broadbent stars as curmudgeonly divorcee Tony Webster (Jim Broadbent), a reclusive retiree who spends most waking hours tinkering around his pokey vintage camera shop. Tony’s stony social interactions are seemingly limited to a minimal trickling of time-wasting customers (whom he outright dismisses) and his endlessly chipper postman (the recipient of countless hasty door slams).

Ritesh Batra’s preceding endeavour, the BAFTA nominated The Lunchbox – had an indelible charm; an absorbing, gentle piece of cinema that was a complete delight to indulge in. His latest, while not quite as endearingly simplistic, still thrives in a similar capacity, and shares a common theme – again lingering over the notion of indirect communication, albeit one with a few more twists and turns.
Jim Broadbent plays Tony Webster, who owns a vintage camera shop in South London, and is counting down the days until his first grandchild is born, lending a hand to his heavily pregnant daughter Susie (Michelle Dockery). But then he receives a letter in the post to inform him that an item has been left to him in the will of an old flame’s mother, but it’s one he’s not currently allowed to get his hands on.

Ahead of the film version of of Barnes’s Man Booker-winning novel The Sense of an Ending, he explains why he asked the film-makers to be brutal with his text
The Sense of an Ending is a short, sharp novel about a man who tells his own story and then comes to doubt it. Written by Julian Barnes, it’s a book in two halves (construction; deconstruction) as ageing Tony Webster is forced to revise his account in the light of complicating new evidence and unquiet old memories. “How often do we tell our own life story?” Tony wonders. “How often do we adjust, embellish, make sly cuts?” Our history, he concludes, is merely the story we tell. Others spin their own versions and the truth is elusive.
Now, six years after it won the Man Booker prize, The Sense of an Ending is being told again, courtesy of a plush new BBC Films adaptation.

Elliptical and enigmatic, The Sense of an Ending has the quality of a mystery, but one that raises more questions than it answers. That is, without a doubt, fully intentional. It’s a film that’s designed to make you go “hmm,” not “aha,” and there’s something admirable about how studiously it avoids going for an obvious narrative or emotional knockout punch. But by the same token, there’s something a little unsatisfying about it, too.
Based on the Booker Prize-winning novella by Julian Barnes, the film centers on an aging Londoner, Tony Webster (Jim Broadbent), who, upon being notified of an unexpected legacy, finds himself revisiting his memories of an incident from his youth and eventually coming to grips with the fact that he’s never fully acknowledged or even recognized the truth of what really happened...

Memory is a funny thing. One can feel so certain of one’s own memories that it is jarring when others’ recollection of events does not match.
The tricks of memory are at the heart of the unforgettable The Sense Of An Ending, director Ritesh Batra’s screen adaptation of Julian Barnes’ short novel. In this American/British film, Jim Broadbent stars as Tony Webster, a curmudgeonly older man who lives alone, opening his tiny camera repair shop daily and seeming to live a joyless existence. His shop only sells and repairs old Leica cameras, and he seems to regard the occasional customer more as an interruption than the reason for this business. His dull routine is interrupted by the arrival of a letter, informing him he as been left something in a will.

Granted, it may be fair to say that The Sense of an Ending is probably not the type of movie that most Lrm readers would actively seek out, being a pretty serious British drama based on the prize-winning 2011 novel by Julian Barnes.
It stars Oscar winner Jim Broadbent as photographer Tony Webster, who reflects back on his college days in the ‘60s when someone he knew as a child passes away, leaving him a diary that may explain why their friendship fell apart over a pretty woman who came between them named Veronica (played by Scottish actress Freya Mavor from Skins in the past and Oscar nominee Charlotte Rampling in the present).
Sure, The Sense of an Ending may be more of a movie you go to see with your parents, or even grandparents, but what makes the film interesting to film lovers is that it’s the first English...

Despite a title that suggests impending resolution, The Sense Of An Ending starts testing the viewer’s patience—very much by design—almost immediately. Early in the film, a semi-retired camera-store owner named Tony Webster (Jim Broadbent) receives a registered letter as he’s leaving his house. Tony sticks the letter in his pocket without opening it, leaving us to wonder what it contains. A bit later, in his shop, he remembers the letter, pulls it out, starts to open it… but a customer knocks on the door, and Tony sets the letter aside. Even when he does finally read the thing, later still, we get only a split-second look at the contents, with no voice-over or explanation. What’s in the damn letter already?! The question finally gets answered shortly thereafter, but that revelation only serves to introduce further mysteries. Indeed, the entire movie consists of this same delayed-gratification...

Welcome back to the Weekend Warrior, your weekly look at the new movies hitting theaters this weekend, as well as other cool events and things to check out….but mostly movies.
This Past Weekend:
It was absolutely no surprise that Hugh Jackman’s last Wolverine movie Logan would top the box office, but it actually ended up doing even better than my prediction when actual numbers came in, grossing $88.3 million over the weekend. That makes it the fourth highest X-Movie opening (including Deadpool) but also the biggest R-rated opening for March, defeating 300’s once-impressive $70 million opening. It’s also the fourth highest R-rated opening of all time after Deadpool, The Matrix Reloaded and American Sniper.
The bigger surprise was how well Jordan Peele’s thriller Get Out held up in its second weekend, not only because it was going up against Logan, but also because high-profile horror films tend...

Jim Broadbent is one of the most amazing actors working today and he still doesn’t quite manage the attention he deserves. There may be some movement on that front on March 10th when The Sense of an Ending hits.
The trailer is out and it looks as though the Julian Barnes’ novel is getting a great treatment. It may start out innocent enough with Broadbent’s Tony Webster as an aging, somewhat reclusive, man of a simple existence, but he is suddenly thrown back into his past and there are secrets there that may be uncovered.
The film also stars Harriet Walter, Michelle Dockery, Emily Mortimer, Billy Howle, Joe Alwyn, Freya Mavor, Matthew Goode, and Charlotte Rampling.
While clearly something of a slow-burn effort, the mix of past and present opens the door for a wilder ride, and this is a cast that cannot be dismissed. This is a great story,...

From Ritesh Batra, the director of “Lunchbox” and producer of “Woman in Gold,” comes a dramatic story that unravels the truth and explores how sometimes we only remember half of the story.
Based on the Man Booker-winning novel by Julian Barnes, “The Sense of an Ending” stars Jim Broadbent, Harriet Walter, Michelle Dockery and Charlotte Rampling. The story centers around Tony Webster (Broadbent), a man who leads a reclusive and quiet existence. Everything changes for him when buried secrets from his past force him to face the flawed recollections of his younger self, the truth about his first love (Rampling) and the devastating consequences of decisions made a lifetime ago.
“How often do we tell our own life story and we readjust, embellish, make slight cuts and make a new reality?” Broadbent says in the new trailer released by CBS Films. “And when everything is coming off the rails, how...

Adapted from the bestselling novel by Julian Barnes, The Sense Of An Ending has a killer cast to go along with its Man Booker Prize-winning source material.

Told in both flashbacks to the 1960s and in present-day, The Sense Of An Ending examines the inconsistencies of autobiographical memory in a deeply moving story about the lies we tell ourselves in the narratives of our own lives.

Eddy and Sid after a Master Class at Nyu, 2003. (Photo: Michael Doft)
Sid Caesar’s funeral service was held on Sunday afternoon, February 16 at a private ceremony in Los Angeles. Among the family and friends paying tribute was Sid’s biographer and friend, Cinema Retro’s Eddy Friedfeld, who co-authored Sid’s creative biography, Caesar’s Hours, published by Public Affairs in 2003.
What follows is the eulogy Eddy delivered before Sid's family, friends and colleagues.
Sid said that, like Isaac Newton, he stood on the shoulders of giants, his inspirations- Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Laurel and Hardy and W.C. Fields, who helped him develop his career and craft. Today, Sid, we stand on your shoulders- and celebrate your life, your art, your warmth, character, and friendship. You did things no one else could do and you inspired many others, including people in this room, to take the same artistic risks.
