YouTube disabling low-view accounts from monetizing is kind of a b.s. movie imo. I don't see how this will combat nazism or [whatever]. I really don't. The 'wild wild west' nature of YT always made it feel like the most level playing field of the social networks, if you even want to lump it in with them. Oh well, the Facebookification of the Internet knows no limits. Say la, V.

My Top 5 Movies of 2017
5. The Beguiled: kind of a distant 5th at this point; I'm still catching up on most of the good ones and would assume this falls out (but based on score, I'll leave it here).4. Brigsby Bear: a rare treat where the audacity of a wacky premise is equaled by the strength of performers/execution.
3. Nathan for You: Finding Frances: not technically a "movie" but who cares! This feature length piece is one of the most original things I've seen in awhile.
2. Phantom Thread: PTA continues his reign as the best filmmaker in the world right now; my podcast review is forthcoming.
1. Lady Bird: a classic.
