Ten years ago, writer Drew McWeeny posed a question in the headline of his latest column: “Has life in the age of casual magic made moviegoers numb to the amazing?” Frustrated by news of what would be 2016’s Alice Through the Looking Glass, which he considered an unnecessary sequel to a film everyone saw and no one really loved, McWeeny revisited the film’s predecessor, Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. He concluded that it was both a terrible movie and a technical marvel. McWeeny’s column articulated an existential crisis in both moviemaking and moviegoing: In a cinematic world without limits, the combination of extraordinary technical innovation and the lack of narrative ambition to match was making moviegoers numb.
Westworld star joins the cast of Wednesday season 2

Thandiwe Newton has joined the cast of Wednesday season 2.
Per Variety, Newton is set to star alongside newly added cast member Steve Buscemi in an undisclosed role. The ball is finally rolling on season 2 after production was delayed due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
The supernatural show created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar – and executive produced by Tim Burton – debuted in November of 2022 and quickly became the second most-watched English-language series on Netflix. The series received two Golden Globe nominations: one for Best Television Series – Musical and a Best Actress nom for Jenna Ortega's performance. The streamer ordered a second season in January 2023.
"It’s still coming together, but we’ve decided we want to lean into the horror more," Ortega told Elle Fanning in a conversation for Variety last year. No other plot details about the new season have been released.
Newton is perhaps best known for starring as Maeve Millay on Westworld, with the role earning her several Emmy and Golden Globe nominations. Her credits include a wide (and absolutely stellar) variety of films including Mission: Impossible 2 and Solo: A Star Wars Story. Newton most recently starred opposite Chris Pine in the spy thriller All the Old Knives, and lent her voice to Ginger in Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget.

I just finished You Can't Win by Jack Black. Overall, I thought it was an excellent read. Great bird's eye view of the criminal underworld of the 19th/early 20th century. Now onto James by Percival Everett, I think that one should be good too, @Elodin .By the way, have you heard of his other book 'The Trees? I heard about it earlier and it sounds like it would be worth reading also.
