  • John Eliot Gardiner Undercutting His Old Ensembles Is Disgraceful, And So Are The Presenters Going Along With It “Andrew Mellor: “At best, he looks like a bitter fool. It’s a shame for him, for anyone who has a modicum of respect for his talent and for anyone who has done good work with him. But it’s shameful for an industry apparently happy to sweep his abuse under the carpet.” – Classical Music (UK)” Read more
  • Why 1984’s “Terminator” Movie Still Resonates Today “The film’s legacy in pop culture is enduring. Cameron’s dark vision of the future created a cultural shock that continues to resonate to this day. “I’ll be back,” remains one of the most iconic one-liners in movie history. – The Conversation” Read more
