2023-02-03 Thread Mark Jeffries
A typically contrarian Slate article says that German critics have not joined their film industry in their love for Netflix's much-Oscar-nominated remake of "All Quiet on the Western Front," one critic saying that it is the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" of war films: https://slate.com/culture/2023/

I am assuming that in Chicago WGN will reconnect with the CW next fall--they dropped it back when they still had the Cubs, Sox, Bulls and Black Hawks and now they don't have any of those teams--they're all on cable on NBC Sports Chicago, with the exception of the Cubs co-owning with Sinclair Marque
