Dead Actresses Whose Roles Are Still Iconic In Modern Film

This actress perfectly embodies classic Hollywood glamour and captivating charm. Her brilliant comedic performance in ‘Some Like It Hot’ remains a benchmark for romantic comedies, rarely equaled since. Both critics and audiences admired the way she combined a sense of delicate emotion with a powerful on-screen presence. The iconic scene of her standing over a subway grate in ‘The Seven Year Itch’ is instantly recognizable and remains a famous image in film. Even decades after her passing, her work continues to inspire fashion and popular culture.

Black Celebs Who Were Overlooked When It Mattered Most

Let me tell you, Denzel Washington became Malcolm X in that 1992 film. It wasn’t just an impersonation; he truly inhabited the man, nailing his speech, his movements, and how his thinking changed over time. A lot of people, myself included, thought it was the performance of his career, and honestly, of the entire year. It’s still a shock to me that Al Pacino won the Oscar for ‘Scent of a Woman’ instead. That decision is still argued about today, and for good reason – Denzel was robbed!

Concerning Software, AI, and a Few Worthy Wagers

Old John Zito, a fellow with Apollo Global Management – a name that suggests they’re aiming for the heavens, though I suspect they’re mostly concerned with earthly gains – he posed the question: “Is software dead?” A dramatic query, to be sure. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software ETF has taken a proper drubbing, down twenty-one percent this year, and a good portion of that in the last week. Seems investors are spooked, and rightly so, when they see a shiny new toy threaten the old. But a wise man doesn’t throw out the baby with the bathwater, does he?

Snowflake: Assessing Value Amidst Decelerating Growth

Snowflake’s fiscal third-quarter revenue reached $1.21 billion, representing a 29% year-over-year increase. However, a disaggregation of revenue streams reveals that product revenue, constituting the vast majority of total revenue at $1.16 billion, expanded at a rate of 29%, a deceleration from prior periods. This moderation in growth, while not entirely unexpected given the law of large numbers, warrants close monitoring.

The Algorithm & The Labyrinth: Reflections on Software Valuations

The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV), a cartographic representation of this digital terrain, has experienced a decline – a fall of twenty-two percent from its zenith. The ostensible cause? A fear – a phantom, perhaps – that the emergence of artificial intelligence, specifically those generative engines originating with OpenAI and Anthropic, might dismantle the established order of software-as-a-service. It is a curiously swift judgment. The market, it seems, anticipates disruption before disruption itself has fully manifested. One recalls the apocryphal Library of Babel, where all possible books exist, including those detailing the precise moment of a sector’s obsolescence. Yet, no such definitive text has yet been revealed.

Lilly’s Little Boost (and My Anxiety)

Lilly’s fourth-quarter revenue hit $19.3 billion. Forty-three percent year-over-year. Let that sink in. They’re basically printing money with those GLP-1 drugs – Mounjaro and Zepbound. Sales surged 110% and 123% respectively, totaling $7.4 billion and $4.3 billion. It’s…aggressive. And let’s be real, it’s fuelled by a society simultaneously obsessed with instant gratification and terrified of aging. Don’t judge me, I’m already pre-ordering the anti-gravity cream.

TV Shows That Ended On A Cliffhanger And Never Came Back

The fourth season of the hit sitcom ended with ALF trying to meet up with other Melmacians. However, instead of a happy reunion, he was caught by the Alien Task Force. This surprising turn from the show’s usual humor was meant to set up a fifth season, but one never happened. While a TV movie came out later, the series is still remembered for its shocking and unfinished final moments.
