Hey...so...
...how about meeting Hitler at the end there? Whoa!
That was a crazy moment. Seeing him sitting there, watching one of the "forbidden" films. Obsessed with watching other outcomes. That was nuts. And also, underneath, perhaps the suggestion that Hitler was able to win the war because he had some sort of extra trickery in his pocket. Like films showing the future. Or some sort of extra aid involving foresight. I mean, it can't just be that Hitler discovered these movies after he won, right? Not after we clearly witnessed one showing us the future annihilation of San Francisco?

C-3PO and R2-D2 Meet BB-8 in New Star Wars Ad
C-3PO and R2-D2 meet BB-8 in this new Star Wars: The Force Awakens ad, and it's adorable.
The video, posted on O2 in the UK's Twitter feed, shows C-3PO—sporting his new red arm—and R2-D2 traversing an expansive desert. Though exasperated by their long journey, the pair continues on. BB-8—who C-3PO and R2-D2 were presumably looking for—speeds into scene, nearly missing the duo.
Watch the clip for yourself. No spoilers below, as the O2 account tweets, "No need to look away. Mr. Abrams definitely didn't let us put any spoilers in there!"
Pixar Boss: Jobs Would Be ‘Appalled’ By Steve Jobs Movie
Steve Jobs would have been "appalled" by Danny Boyle's movie about the late Apple visionary, according to Ed Catmull, president of Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Animation Studios.
"I think he'd be appalled," Catmull told The Hollywood Reporter. "And they actually can't tell the story because the story's wrong. He went through an arc in his life. There was a time the way he worked with people was not good, and I saw that when I first worked with him."
Catmull went on to explain why Jobs' growth as a person is a journey that can't simply be recreated for the big screen. "People look at that dramatic part, and they'll make a movie about that — and that's not the story. That was the beginning of a more interesting and complex story," he explained.
Fox Becomes First Broadcast Network to Stop Reporting Overnight Ratings
Fox will stop distributing ratings of how many viewers watched its programs the first night that they are broadcast, the network announced today.
The overnight ratings from the Nielsen company don't include viewers who watch the shows on DVRs, stream them online or watch on demand, according to Fox's top executives, Dana Walden and Gary Newman. More than one-third of the younger audience watched a Fox show within a week that it aired, but not on the first night.
Nielsen overnight ratings have long been an important metric in the television industry, but both Walden and Newman say that the measurement is outdated.
"Fox is a company that has always prided itself on being forward-thinking, and nothing could be more antiquated than a decades-old measurement that reflects only a portion of our audience," the executives said in a memo. "So together, let's move the ratings conversation into the future."
