  • “Baywatch” and “Letters from Baghdad”
    The Current Cinema June 5 & 12, 2017 Issue “Baywatch” and “Letters from Baghdad” An adaptation of the iconic television series, starring Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron, and Kelly Rohrbach, and a documentary about Gertrude Bell. By Anthony Lane Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron, and Kelly Rohrbach star in Seth Gordon’s movie. Illustration by Bendik Kaltenborn here are so many things you can do with a beach in the movies. You can clear it by shouting, “Shark!” You can storm it in the T face of German guns. If you’re Steve McQueen, you can race around it in an orange dune buggy. If you’re Elvis, you can stand on the sand, in little white shorts, and pluck at your ukulele. And, if you’re Gérard Philipe, in “Une Si Jolie Petite Plage” (1949), the saddest of all beach lms, you can mooch along the strand, in the rain, with a face like rolling thunder. Then there is “Baywatch,” where no rain falls. The television series started in 1989 and, after a hiccup, ran for most of the following decade, earning “a wider audience on the planet Earth than any other entertainment show in history,” according to a Times report, in 1995. “Baywatch” aired in more than a hundred and forty countries and was dubbed into many tongues: a triumph of metamorphosis, since the dialogue was only just recognizable as English in the rst place. There were three attempts to promote the show from the small screen to the big, including “Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding” (2003), whose plot is anyone’s guess, but, https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/06/05/baywatch-and-letters-from-baghdad 1/3 tragically, all three swam straight to video.

  • Get Ready for Your Stay at the WHITE LOTUS When the New Limited Series Debuts July 11
    Get ready for your stay at THE WHITE LOTUS when the new limited series debuts July 11 MIAMI, FL., May 11, 2021 - From Mike White (HBO’s “Enlightened”), the six-episode HBO Original limited series THE WHITE LOTUS, a social satire set at an exclusive Hawaiian resort, debuts Sunday, July 11. The series will premiere on HBO Max and HBO. Starring Murray Bartlett (HBO’s “Looking”), Connie Britton (“Nashville”), Jennifer Coolidge (“2 Broke Girls”), Alexandra Daddario (HBO’s “True Detective”), Fred Hechinger (“Eighth Grade”), Jake Lacy (HBO’s “Girls”), Brittany O'Grady (“Little Voice”), Natasha Rothwell (HBO’s “Insecure”), Sydney Sweeney (HBO’s “Euphoria”) and Steve Zahn (HBO’s “Treme”), the series follows the vacations of various hotel guests over the span of a week as they relax and rejuvenate in paradise. But with each passing day, a darker complexity emerges in these picture-perfect travelers, the hotel’s cheerful employees and the idyllic locale itself. Recurring guest stars include: Molly Shannon (HBO’s “Divorce”), Jon Gries (“Dream Corp LLC”), Jolene Purdy (“WandaVision”), Kekoa Kekumano (“Aquaman”), and Lukas Gage (HBO’s “Euphoria”). Among the employees at The White Lotus are the fastidious resort manager Armond (Murray Bartlett), who, after a sudden trauma, begins a dramatic downward spiral - and the down-to-earth spa manager, Belinda (Natasha Rothwell) who gets taken on an emotional roller coaster ride by a needy guest. The vacationers include the Mossbacher family – Nicole (Connie Britton), a successful type-A exec, who can’t help but treat her family like disobedient employees; her husband, Mark (Steve Zahn), dealing with both an embarrassing health crisis and a terminal inferiority complex; their teenaged son, Quinn (Fred Hechinger), a socially awkward gamer, experiencing the wonder of nature for the very first time; their daughter, Olivia (Sydney Sweeney), and her friend, Paula (Brittany O’Grady), sharp-tongued college sophomores who cast a sardonic eye on the lifestyles and belief systems of everyone around them.

  • Technology Giants the “Moligopoly” Hypothesis and Holistic Competition
    Work in progress, 20 October 2016. TECHNOLOGY GIANTS, THE “MOLIGOPOLY” HYPOTHESIS AND HOLISTIC COMPETITION: A PRIMER Nicolas Petit* INTRODUCTION This paper originates from a disconnect. On the one hand, technology pundits daily describe the information and communications technologies giants (the “technology giants” or the “tech giants”) as oligopoly firms at war with each other. In 2012, Farhad Manjoo wrote in Fast Company a column entitled “The Great Tech War of 2012: Apple, Facebook, Google, and Amazon Battle for the Future of the Innovation Economy”.1 A year later, Manjoo inaugured in Slate a fictional dialogue with Matt Yglesias entitled “WarGames: Google vs. Apple” with the following sub-narrative “what would happen if the world’s two great powers went to (actual) war”.2 Their fictional conversation closed with Microsoft Bing becoming the default search engine in the US. On the other hand, antitrust lawyers and economists tend to classify the technology giants as entrenched monopolists, shielded from competition. In 2010, Columbia Law School Professor Tim Wu concluded an op-ed titled “In the Grip of the New Monopolists” in the Wall Street Journal with the following statement “let's not pretend that we live in anything but an age of monopolies”.3 Since then, not a year has passed without a major antitrust jurisdiction levelling monopolization concerns against companies like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple or Facebook (hereafter, “GAFAM”).4 * Professor, University of Liege (ULg), Belgium.
