That was a decade ago. But who’s laughing now? The revolution he foresaw, facilitated by the increasing power of desktop computers and the rise of affordable digital (DV) camcorders, is underway. Dubbed the “microcinema movement,” it’s the biggest technological change in moviemaking since the arrival of lightweight 16mm cameras in the ’50s and ’60s, which made possible the New Wave and cinema verite. Digital video–fed from your camcorder into your home computer, where you can edit it, jazz it up with spinning titles and special effects, then convert the finished product onto videotape or send it onto the Web for public consumption–is democratizing filmmaking, creating a nation of do-it-yourself auteurs....

Trump’s question came after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo did a tense interview with NPR journalist Mary Louise Kelly about the administration’s policies toward Iran and Ukraine. Pompeo cut off the interview early and then reportedly scolded Louise without going off the record.

Marion Hammer, the chief NRA lobbyist, met with a group of economists in Florida on Friday to oppose the proposed ban of assault weapons, according to Shareblue Media. She asked if a little girl who wanted to shoot a rifle with a pink stock would be convicted of a felony. “How do you tell a 10-year-old little girl who got a Ruger 10/22 with a pink stock for her birthday that her rifle is an assault weapon and she has to turn it over to government or be arrested for felony possession?...

Off to a 1-4 start, with losses to the Kings and Suns, the Nuggets have had trouble finding scoring from anyone other than Ty Lawson and struggled to defend. The latest negative for the Nuggets is bigger than anything they have faced thus far, though. Center JaVale McGee is out indefinitely with a fractured to his left shin, the team announced. McGee took over starting center responsibilities this season, but hadn't lived up to what was expected of him....

Jokic remains in his native Serbia having reportedly tested positive for coronavirus as the NBA plans to resume after the 2019-20 season was suspended in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The SEC led all conferences with 54 players in 2015, but there’s a perception the ACC – which tied the Pac-12 for most first-round picks with nine – might be closing the gap. MORE: Breakout candidates for 2015 | Best football-basketball schools | Strong ‘can’t fail’ at Texas That’s not necessarily true. Look past the first round. The ACC had 47 picks in 2015, seven fewer than the SEC. That’s the same gap between the two conferences in 2014, when the SEC had 49 players picked and the ACC finished with 42....

Heather Alfonso, a former advanced practice registered nurse, prescribed more than $2.5 million worth of Subsys, a fentanyl spray, in claims submitted to Medicare. Her patients largely did not have cancer, the condition for which the drug was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Her case is part of a larger investigation by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) of Insys Therapeutics, a drug firm recently convicted for bribing providers to peddle its premiere fentanyl medication....

Sergeant Detective John Boyle from the Boston Police confirmed the incident to Newsweek: “On Saturday Boston officers responded to a radio call. The rear passenger window had been smashed, the victim stated that several items had been stolen from her car.” “I just felt really, really sad that something like that would happen at a Children’s Hospital parking lot,” said day nurse Renée Cather to The Boston Globe.

Trump, who has voiced a desire to see states re-open businesses by May 1, said during Monday’s White House coronavirus briefing, “The president of the United States calls the shots. [The states] can’t do anything without the approval of the president of the United States.” However, when MSNBC commentator Chris Hayes asked Cuomo whether that statement was true, Cuomo said, “No, that is not true. I don’t know why the president said it....

If the NCAA won the O’Bannon case or it stretched past the start of the 2016–17 academic year, we would begin to hear about many football and basketball players reclassifying from 2016 to 2015 or at least to January 2016. Any player who is doing OK on core course but struggling in GPA might have decided to do more work now with the hope of qualifying under the current, easier standard....

Yes, Contassot replied. And now as deputy mayor of the City of Light, he’s set out to prove it. Many Parisians don’t realize what’s coming, how lives and lifestyles will soon be transformed. But with the new year, a new era dawns for Paris and its famously pampered pooches. Whether Yorkie, poodle or Shar-Pei, it’s out with the old and in with the new. No longer will the city’s four-footed friends be permitted to poop wherever they please....

“Defund the police” became a rallying cry during U.S. protests against police violence and systemic racism after the May death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody. In May, the advocacy group Black Lives Matter called for police defunding on a nationwide level. “I guess you can use a snappy slogan like ‘defund the police’ but, you know, you lost a big audience the minute you say it,” Obama said, “which makes it a lot less likely that you’re actually going to get the changes you want done....

Nonetheless, Trump mentioned former President Barack Obama multiple times on Twitter Monday, calling for a probe into the financial terms of he and wife Michelle Obama’s deal with the streaming service. This, Trump said, would be a “better idea” than mounting questions about his own business deals and whether he is profiting from his presidency. All this led to “Obama Netflix?” trending on Twitter as people tried to decipher what Trump meant by his tweets calling for Democrats to “look at the Obama book deal, or the ridiculous Netflix deal....

In the video snippet for the next episode of Pod Save America, a political commentary series hosted by four former aides to Obama, the 44th president discussed why he thought Fetterman, the Democrat in a key Senate race, was a great candidate. “The thing I love about Fetterman, and you see it in a lot of our other candidates, is you feel as if when you’re talking to them that you’re having a normal conversation and they have some sense of how the rest of America lives,” Obama said....

Dear Senator Obama, We have never met but I thought I might write and share with you some thoughts about how you might respond to the problem you are having now because of the sermons of your pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. I would say this if I were you, My fellow Americans, Much has been made lately about the statements of my pastor. This is what I believe about him and about what he said....
