Widows Review
Steve McQueen’s Widows is a thriller almost uncomfortable with thrills. Though it has its fair share of mayhem (this is a very violent picture), a ferocious cast, and a plot with several twists and turns, the 12 Years A Slave director’s latest movie, which he co-wrote with Gone Girl author Gillian Flynn, is slow and methodic, fueled by fear and desperation, rather than the usual suspect, greed.
The usual suspect, however, does make a quick appearance in the form of Harry Rawlings (Liam Neeson), the leader of a proficient robber crew. But Widows, practicing in genre-reversal storytelling, has no place for him, and after a brilliant, adrenaline-pumping opening sequence which combines the events of their latest heist with those of the domestic day leading up to it, Harry and his crew are dead, stripping their titular wives of physical and financial security.
Retribution is soon demanded by the men whose money was stolen by Harry and then destroyed during the explosive getaway (the van’s blown up during the police’s harrowing, Bonnie and Clyde-style ambush). One of them shows up at the Rawling’s upscale Chicago apartment, where a grieving Veronica (a ferocious Viola Davis) is given a month to cease the $2 million debt. A notebook left by Harry points the way to a $5 million stash somewhere in the city, and with a possible $3 million profit, Veronica asks the other widows for help.
Two of them, Alice (Elizabeth Debicki) and Linda (Michelle Rodriquez), are skeptical of the offer and the fourth, Amanda (Carrie Coon), has her own reasons for staying out. But Alice and Linda have it rough – Alice, who greets us with a black eye, was beaten by her husband, but is now abused by her tyrannical mother (Jacki Weaver), and Linda has lost her store due to her husband’s gambling habit – and with Linda’s babysitter, Belle (Cynthia Erivo), they join up.
From there, the abstract concept is familiarized as the typical tasks are divided: getting the getaway van, acquiring guns, mapping out the route, etc. etc. The differentiations are brought in to port by the widows’ apparent and self-recognized discomfort with the job. Unlike, say, the women of Ocean’s 8, who feast on riches for pleasure and gain, Widows showcases four people powered by a toxic blend of need and despair. “I’m not Harry,” admits Veronica, whose grief romanticizes her memories of him and somewhat blinds her of the terrible mess he’s left behind for her.
It’s moments like these, when external desperation tangles with internal morality, that Widows flourishes. The casting of Michelle Rodriquez – who’s no stranger to gunpowder and with prominent performances throughout the action-packed Fast and Furious franchise and in other films such as Avatar and Machete – as Linda, who probably couldn’t hit the side of the barn with a gun, is fantastic for the same reason.
With that said, all of the casting choices are excellent. This is, without a doubt, the best ensemble performance of the year. The timing of the widows’ robbery coincides with the election of a ward split in half by the poverty line. The election faces Jack Mulligan (Colin Farrell), whose father (Robert Duvall) ran the ward the old-fashioned way, against crime boss Jamal Manning (Brian Tyree Henry). Jamal’s brother, Jatemme, played expertly and terrifyingly by Daniel Kaluuya, is his enforcer and the most villainous character in recent memory – a shot of the two of them together at Harry’s funeral sticks out among the most threateningly unforgettable of 2018.
The connection is that it’s the Manning’s money that was initially stolen, and the Mulligan’s which is now being sought after. The election itself is supposed to construct a larger societal presence for the film, but is, in fact, McQueen and Flynn’s least convincing contribution. Despite the authentic locations (an impressive long shot following Jack Mulligan from the campaign trail to his home establishes the vast difference a block can make), Chicago, as a metropolis with volatile racial, political, and financial complications, does not make a real impression.
The city’s, or in this case, the ward’s issues end up serving only as a backdrop for the robbery, often diverting attention away from the more appealing dramatic premise amongst the robbers. The drama behind human survival is certainly greater than political prominence, and Widows is at its best when it hangs with its widows.

Xiaomi made a 150-inch $2,000 projector that’s available exclusively at Walmart
Xiaomi has a couple of new products out in Walmart and gave press the rundown today at an event in New York City. The first is a 150-inch projector going for $1,999.99 at Walmart doubles up as a television with Android TV. It’s strangely overpriced for what it is, but it also marks one of Xiaomi’s infrequent expansions into American offerings.
There are a couple of things to break down here, namely that projector is oddly expensive for a 1920 x 1080p screen. Xiaomi says it has no concrete plans to bring a 4K version to the US, and that this is the same model it’s sold in China. You could have found cheaper 1080p projectors back in 2016.
Still, the projector has a number of positives including an ultra-short throw, so it can be placed 20...

Verily pauses research on glucose-sensing contact lens
Verily, previously Google Life Sciences, is putting a hold on its program to build a contact lens that can monitor glucose in tears. First announced in 2014, the glucose lens has been one of Verily’s highest-profile projects, even as experts suggested the entire project was a pipe dream.
The lens — which was supposed to contain a tiny wireless chip and glucose monitor — was intended to help diabetic patients. People with diabetes need to carefully monitor their glucose levels, but all the existing monitoring options involve needles and can be painful. For many life science companies, building a needleless blood monitor is the holy grail of the industry, especially because 592 million people worldwide are expected to have diabetes by...

With FilmStruck disappearing, Criterion is launching its own streaming service
In the wake of WarnerMedia’s decision to shutter FilmStruck, The Criterion Collection is planning to launch its own standalone streaming service in spring 2019.
The new service, “The Criterion Channel,” will allow subscribers to stream the company’s library of celebrated films, ranging from Hollywood classics to arthouse cult films and foreign pictures. A blog post on the company’s site confirms The Criterion Channel will also be available on “WarnerMedia’s new consumer platform when it launches late next year.”
The decision to launch The Criterion Channel follows the heartbreaking news for cinephiles that FilmStruck, Warner Bros.’ classic Hollywood movie streaming service, would shutter at the end of November. FilmStruck had an...

The internet is celebrating Danny DeVito this week
Sometimes, people can have really astounding weeks: they get engaged, promoted, and win their local karaoke competition all within a few days. Other times, they can have really terrible weeks: they go through a rough breakup, get fired, and are forced to listen to seven horrible rendition’s of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” at their local karaoke competition.
Danny DeVito had a legendary week — on the internet, at least. DeVito, who has become best known in recent years for his portrayal of Frank Reynolds on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, has long been a staple of internet culture. People adore DeVito and his strange character roles or commercials he stars in, but this week has seen an influx of strange DeVito stories celebrating...

Verizon will launch RCS text messaging in early 2019
Yesterday at a small, business-focused GSMA event in New Jersey, Verizon’s SVP of consumer products, Aparna Khurjekar, announced that Verizon will launch support for RCS messaging in “early 2019.” The move is potentially significant as RCS is the new texting standard set to replace SMS just as soon as carriers around the world update their systems to support it.
More specifically, RCS Chat will replace SMS if carriers update their systems to support the “Universal Profile,” the version of RCS technology that allows messages to interoperate cleanly between carriers. Currently, very few do; in the US, that list includes Sprint, US Cellular, and limited support on T-Mobile. Other carriers like AT&T and Verizon use a proprietary texting...

Microsoft made an app to rate your facial expressions against emojis
Microsoft has launched a free Windows app that uses machine learning to guess the facial expression you’re making when imitating an emoji. Called Emoji8, the app gives you a score for how well you recreate the emoji, and it’s mostly meant to show off the capabilities of this brand of artificial intelligence in an accessible way.
The app serves up an emoji for you to mimic, analyzes the video feed from your computer’s webcam, then tells you your percentage of accuracy. Then, oddly, it gives you the option of creating a gif with some of your “craziest facial expressions” to share on Twitter. On Microsoft’s end, Emoji8 is supposed to show how quick and flexible its machine learning prowess is. From a user end, it’s a bit weird to show off...

Facebook-linked PR firm Definers pushed criticism of Apple, Google, and Bird
As Facebook reels from a bombshell New York Times report published this week, much of the focus has been on a controversial public relations firm hired by the company. Definers Public Affairs, a DC organization, pressed reporters with information favorable to Facebook, including by linking liberal billionaire George Soros to the funding of anti-Facebook activities.
Since the report was published, a fuller scope of the group’s activities has been established. The group also pitched reporters on negative articles about other tech companies: the Times and Business Insider have noted that the firm sought to portray Google and Apple in a negative light, and similar emails were also received by The Verge.

Netflix’s Cam is an unsettling thriller about losing your online identity
There’s a moment about two-thirds of the way through Netflix’s creepy new tech thriller Cam where audiences will think they have a pretty good handle on where the movie is headed. Alice (Madeline Brewer), a cam girl who goes by the online name “Lola,” is trying to figure out what’s going on with her account. It’s been hijacked by a woman who appears to be her doppelgänger, someone regularly performing live broadcasts in her name. And none of the fans who send her money can tell the difference.
Given the timely concerns about deepfakes and altered video, it’s natural to assume the film will eventually head toward some sort of explain-it-all climax, using technology and machine learning as a boogeyman, and dissipating all the tension and...

The bots of the future are going to use our own metadata to seem more human
Today the internet is a quagmire of captial-c Content, made navigable by retweets, likes, and favorites; everything posted can be quantified by its corresponding reactions. Though in aggregate it may seem like noise, to people in the business of disinformation, there’s a valuable signal there to be picked apart and studied. Our activity on social platforms — those favorites and likes and retweets — are a form of metadata that can help manipulators and their bots appear human to the algorithms that police social networks. And that problem is about to get a lot worse: bots are starting to mimic your social media activity in order to look more human.

Still, the projector has a number of positives including an ultra-short throw, so it can be placed 20...

Verily pauses research on glucose-sensing contact lens
Verily, previously Google Life Sciences, is putting a hold on its program to build a contact lens that can monitor glucose in tears. First announced in 2014, the glucose lens has been one of Verily’s highest-profile projects, even as experts suggested the entire project was a pipe dream.
The lens — which was supposed to contain a tiny wireless chip and glucose monitor — was intended to help diabetic patients. People with diabetes need to carefully monitor their glucose levels, but all the existing monitoring options involve needles and can be painful. For many life science companies, building a needleless blood monitor is the holy grail of the industry, especially because 592 million people worldwide are expected to have diabetes by...

With FilmStruck disappearing, Criterion is launching its own streaming service
In the wake of WarnerMedia’s decision to shutter FilmStruck, The Criterion Collection is planning to launch its own standalone streaming service in spring 2019.
The new service, “The Criterion Channel,” will allow subscribers to stream the company’s library of celebrated films, ranging from Hollywood classics to arthouse cult films and foreign pictures.

The internet is celebrating Danny DeVito this week
Sometimes, people can have really astounding weeks: they get engaged, promoted, and win their local karaoke competition all within a few days. Other times, they can have really terrible weeks: they go through a rough breakup, get fired, and are forced to listen to seven horrible rendition’s of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” at their local karaoke competition.
Danny DeVito had a legendary week — on the internet, at least. DeVito, who has become best known in recent years for his portrayal of Frank Reynolds on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, has long been a staple of internet culture. People adore DeVito and his strange character roles or commercials he stars in, but this week has seen an influx of strange DeVito stories celebrating...

Verizon will launch RCS text messaging in early 2019
Yesterday at a small, business-focused GSMA event in New Jersey, Verizon’s SVP of consumer products, Aparna Khurjekar, announced that Verizon will launch support for RCS messaging in “early 2019.” The move is potentially significant as RCS is the new texting standard set to replace SMS just as soon as carriers around the world update their systems to support it.
More specifically, RCS Chat will replace SMS if carriers update their systems to support the “Universal Profile,” the version of RCS technology that allows messages to interoperate cleanly between carriers. Currently, very few do; in the US, that list includes Sprint, US Cellular, and limited support on T-Mobile. Other carriers like AT&T and Verizon use a proprietary texting...

Microsoft made an app to rate your facial expressions against emojis
Microsoft has launched a free Windows app that uses machine learning to guess the facial expression you’re making when imitating an emoji. Called Emoji8, the app gives you a score for how well you recreate the emoji, and it’s mostly meant to show off the capabilities of this brand of artificial intelligence in an accessible way.
The app serves up an emoji for you to mimic, analyzes the video feed from your computer’s webcam, then tells you your percentage of accuracy. Then, oddly, it gives you the option of creating a gif with some of your “craziest facial expressions” to share on Twitter. On Microsoft’s end, Emoji8 is supposed to show how quick and flexible its machine learning prowess is. From a user end, it’s a bit weird to show off...

Facebook-linked PR firm Definers pushed criticism of Apple, Google, and Bird
As Facebook reels from a bombshell New York Times report published this week, much of the focus has been on a controversial public relations firm hired by the company. Definers Public Affairs, a DC organization, pressed reporters with information favorable to Facebook, including by linking liberal billionaire George Soros to the funding of anti-Facebook activities.
Since the report was published, a fuller scope of the group’s activities has been established. The group also pitched reporters on negative articles about other tech companies: the Times and Business Insider have noted that the firm sought to portray Google and Apple in a negative light, and similar emails were also received by The Verge. According to CNN, one pitch about...

Netflix’s Cam is an unsettling thriller about losing your online identity
There’s a moment about two-thirds of the way through Netflix’s creepy new tech thriller Cam where audiences will think they have a pretty good handle on where the movie is headed. Alice (Madeline Brewer), a cam girl who goes by the online name “Lola,” is trying to figure out what’s going on with her account. It’s been hijacked by a woman who appears to be her doppelgänger, someone regularly performing live broadcasts in her name. And none of the fans who send her money can tell the difference.
Given the timely concerns about deepfakes and altered video, it’s natural to assume the film will eventually head toward some sort of explain-it-all climax, using technology and machine learning as a boogeyman, and dissipating all the tension and...

The bots of the future are going to use our own metadata to seem more human
Today the internet is a quagmire of captial-c Content, made navigable by retweets, likes, and favorites; everything posted can be quantified by its corresponding reactions. Though in aggregate it may seem like noise, to people in the business of disinformation, there’s a valuable signal there to be picked apart and studied. Our activity on social platforms — those favorites and likes and retweets — are a form of metadata that can help manipulators and their bots appear human to the algorithms that police social networks. And that problem is about to get a lot worse: bots are starting to mimic your social media activity in order to look more human.
“For users and platforms alike, it is getting harder to discern ‘real’ users and authentic...
