The Business of Film: Fingernails, Quiz Lady & Pandora's Box
James Cameron-Wilson laments a box office down 44% with no new films other than high school sex comedy Bottoms. He was unimpressed by Apple TV's Fingernails with Jesse Buckley, a sci-fi romance he found weird without being funny or moving. He was, however, a fan of Disney+'s Quiz Lady, an enjoyable farce with Awkwafina, Sandra Oh & Will Ferrell which he thought great fun. He was most taken, however, by the beautifully-restored release of the 1929 Pandora's Box, starring Louise Brooks. This masterpiece of German expressionist cinema is held by many to be one of the most influential films ever made. Despite its age, James found it very modern in outlook, with some wonderful extras on the disc.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Three years on from Pfizer Monday, what has changed?
Three years on from Pfizer Monday, when Pfizer and BioNTech announced a Covid vaccine, Russ Mould of A J Bell looks at how different the investment world is now. Commodities have outperformed equities which have outperformed bonds, with Bitcoin doing best of all as investors search for a store of value that won't be affected by central banks. While both drugs companies' shares are lower than 3 years ago, the FTSE has outperformed the Nasdaq Composite. Are we now in a permanently different decade and have growth stocks had their day in favour of value?

Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University posits that cheap money is now a thing of the past and that politicians, of whatever stripe, are going to have to find a way to live within harsher financial constraints. He looks at some of the UK's central planning madness when it comes to Net Zero, contrasting it to the more successful and forward-thinking policies of Norway. And he highlights the severe cracks opening up in the UK commercial property market, wondering what the end result will be.

Thought for the Week: Democratising AI Ownership
In a world absorbed with tension and conflict, it says something about the significance of AI that Rishi Sunak was able to host the conference at Bletchley Park, with government representatives from twenty-eight nations and eight leading Artificial Intelligence businesses. Warnings abound both within and outside the AI industry, including for its impact on employment, to which we referred nearly six years ago. However, is the Bletchley Park gathering just evidence of the rich and powerful flexing their muscles yet again to take control? Surely we should be looking for an alternative, offering mass participation in wealth creation and democratisation through distributed governance?
