I watched this video from Tale Foundry and it got me thinking:

Is There a Case for a Class-Action Lawsuit Against WotC Regarding Arena?
I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. Also, the information I’m basing this on is somewhat dubious. Also, I’m in Finland, where class-actions don’t exist. Any mention of manipulating the probabilities of winning games is just alleged.
My Favorite Movies with Female Directors, Vol. 2
I made a list about this five years ago (late 2018, so little bit over five years), but while I still stand behind that list, what has changed is that I’ve seen a lot more movies from female directors.

Meanwhile, many women have found opportunities and have been able to make great movies.

My Favorite Directors… or something, it gets complicated, but I tried
I doubt it will ever happen, but I do think about making a movie quite frequently (and I do have pretty good plans as well, at least from the point of view of feasibility financially, because of extremely tight budgeting). I would really like to make a movie like the last two movies by Celine Sciamma. Both Portrait of a Lady on Fire and Petite maman are very cozy and secure. At the same time, I realize where my mind goes when working on ideas, my movie would end up more like one by Gaspar Noe, who makes movies about his own nightmares.

Jawan Review
Jawan apparently means “soldier”. Why this is the name of the movie is not immediately obvious.
An Ode to James Gunn
Somehow it feels like James Gunn is a true veteran director, but actually he has only directed six feature films in seventeen years. That’s not nothing and is in itself impressive (how many people have actually directed six features?).
