artistic license

Any choice made in the production of anything the artist calls art.
"So I took a bit of artistic license, okay? It's called "Queen Kong Lear", about an apewoman who feels unloved by her sons. If Shakespeare were alive today he'd totally love it."

Sci-Psy

Psychological-Science-Fiction.

A dominant movie genre, when movies get made again, looking back at the meltdown of human life on earth in 2020.
"It's classic Sci-Psy. Totally. One guy, he's a shrink. With a gun. Alone in New York! Humans are afraid to breathe, afraid of each other, dying by the millions! A fucking game show host is stoking race war, there's nobody in charge, everyone is going insane and pretending to be ok! The one lone guy has two days to save the planet. It's called "How Does That Make You Feel?"

#MeToobin

The firing of Jeffrey Toobin, who committed an indiscretion, not an assault, from his position as staff writer at The New Yorker, after 27 years.
