People are comparing the train derailment in Ohio to (Netflix's) ‘White Noise’

Daily Dot ^
| February 16, 2023 | Michelle Jaworksi
Noah Baumbach’s latest film, White Noise, arrived on Netflix at the end of December, without much fanfare. Despite
a strong fall film festival run, it received mixed reviews from critics; it peaked at no. 4 on Netflix’s self-reported Global Top 10 list. But White Noise is coming back into the public eye in a big way after the recent toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, led to many pointing out similarities between real life and the film. The explosion, which is referred to in the movie as “The Airborne Toxic Event,” leads to lots of confusion, a lack of...

From streaming platform for half-baked reality dating shows to normalizing electric vehicles. When
Netflix engages in shameless product placement, you can be sure it will at least be extra woke. The left-wing steamer has entered a deal to feature General Motors’ electric vehicles in its original movies and TV series, providing the company with a new revenue stream while also burnishing its questionable credentials as a corporate climate crusader. The campaign is also intended to serve as what one GM executive called a “blueprint” for Hollywood’s big push to normalize electric vehicles in the minds of consumers and to “accelerate...

For 2022, Netflix shares dropped 50.6 percent, the most the stock has declined on an annual basis since 2011. For

| Updated: December 22, 2022 - 3:47pm | Just the News staff
Netflix is reportedly poised to cancel the widespread user practice of "password sharing," limiting accounts to one single household in a move to shore up its struggling bottom line. The
streaming company several years ago "identified password sharing as a major problem eating into subscriptions," the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, but did not move to address it until this year due to significant gains in subscribers during the COVID-19 pandemic. That boom in subscribers "masked the extent of the password-sharing issue," Co-Chief Executive Reed Hastings reportedly told executives earlier this year, with company sources telling the Journal that...

Ancient Apocalypse is the most dangerous show on Netflix

A show with a truly preposterous theory is one of the streaming giant’s biggest hits – and it seems to exist solely for conspiracy theorists. Why

This presents something of a mystery.... ... if he’s right, and the history of humanity really is just the first five minutes of Prometheus, it would change everything we know about ourselves.

As a bonus for being a T-Mobile customer, I receive Netflix for free. I

I guess I am a sucker of four funnel liners filled with pretty women in Late Victorian-Edwardian clothing. I watched the first episode. I did enjoy the opening episode and one was thrown right into the story. The overall feel was coldness thanks to the cinematography and score. The score I could best describe as Steampunk Industrial. One thing I...
