seeking $5 billion in damages for each claim.
BBC's response

I watched a documentary from PBS about the history of funk last night (We Want the Funk!). It's worth the 1.5 hours if you're interested. Still, it didn't include any music by - or even mention - Curtis Mayfield. Even if he's maybe better understood as a soul/R&B artist, it seems to me funk wouldn't have been the same without him. So naturally, I've dusted off some old albums and have been listening to him all day.

"Opening with the Rolling Stones’ Gimme Shelter and going on to unleash such undeniably evocative needle drops as Tears for Fears’ Everybody Wants to Rule the World and Then He Kissed Me by the Crystals (the latter arriving in a moment that deliberately echoes the famous Copacabana shot in Goodfellas), Brett Ratner’s new pseudo-documentary Melania proves that the filmmaker is no dummy."

The Chevy Chase documentary really gets details wrong about his time and firing from Community.
It claims that Chevy refused to return to Community without Dan Harmon. In reality Dan was fired at the end of season 3 while Chevy kept going until he got fired during season four.
It also claims that Chevy was angry about some lines Dan wrote for him when he had the outburst that got him fired. Dan simply wasn't there.

Huh, that's weird.
Watching a documentary set in a hospital ER and they're blurring some obvious things - patient names, computer screens not relevant to what's going on, faces of people without a media release, more graphic injuries, etc.
But they also blurred a *clock* in the background of one scene. I have to wonder what the story there is. Just a big 7-segment LED clock on the wall of one of the trauma bays.

Short documentary about the evolution of car chase scenes in movies. I didn't know that "The French Connection" shows an actual traffic accident with a civilian car that wasn't involved in the shoot! The film team hadn't even acquired a permission to film their chase scenes.
The video mentions CGI for set extensions but unfortunately it doesn't cover the full CG cars and environments that we're seeing nowadays.

The closer you get to combat, the more jarring it becomes.
Death comes randomly.
The noise is terrifying;
the fear is stifling.
And most people can’t bear to see what war actually does to the human body

into ugly scraps of flesh.
The fighting in Ukraine has, in many ways,
transformed the nature of warfare.
