Audition (1999)
Seven years after the death of his wife, widower Shigeharu seeks advice on how to find a new wife from a colleague. Taking advantage of their position as a film company, they stage an audition.

In the 1980s there were a lot of television ads that showed how people might use technology in the future.
I remember one that showed a woman waking up in bed and (I think) speaking to the computer across the room to ask for the news and weather.

when he and his brother left their home in Romania to visit the United States.
“The Tates will be free,
Trump is the president.
The good old days are back,”
Tate posted on X before the trip in February
— one of many times he has sung the president’s praises to his fans.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

“My oldest daughter had a lot of trauma as a child,” Andreatta said.
“Something really terrible happened to her when she was very young that I would hope never would happen to any other child.
And as a result of it, she's a lesbian.
She's gay, and she's married to a woman.
And sometimes that's a little bit of [an] internal struggle for me
because I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman.”
After the speech, Andreatta opened the …
