“Why do we even bother going through this whole dog-and-pony show trying to figure out who else can do this movie? While almost half the actor-director films at Toronto are by women, everyone knows by now the challenges female filmmakers face behind the camera. While some independent films have secured interim agreements if they agree to union demands, this year’s festival has seen few American filmmakers and actors doing promotion. Despite that, “Woman of the Hour” still landed the first major sale of the festival in a reported $11 million deal with Netflix. Considering that the stability of Hollywood itself is in question, it is hard to determine whether directing confers more security than having to hang around waiting for an acting job.

Sixth Street, Blackstone, and Ares have backed providers of treatments like laser hair removal. Laser hair removal, body contouring, filler injections — it's not just TikTok and Instagram where people are talking about their latest treatments. The space is another consumer-focused vertical, like dentistry and dermatology, that private equity firms, big and small, are aggressively pushing into. Christian Karavolas, who owns laser hair removal specialist Romeo & Juliette in New York City, said he's turned away offers by private equity investors.

☆ The Truth About Hot Cheetos Is Not in ‘Flamin’ Hot’
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-09 | by ( Tejal Rao | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Like Oscar Isaac, I occasionally use chopsticks to eat hot Cheetos, a technique that keeps their red dust from sticking to my fingers. It’s the neatest way to keep pace with a perfectly engineered snack, designed both to satisfy the desire for its prickly heat and violent crunch, its convincing tang and mellow sweetness, and to fuel an immediate need to revisit it. There are films this year celebrating (and satirizing) the invention of all kinds of consumer products, including the BlackBerry, Air Jordans and Tetris, but I never imagined that this spicy little snack produced by a multinational corporation could be the hero of a late-capitalist uplift saga. “Flamin’ Hot,” directed by Eva Longoria and streaming now on Hulu and Disney Plus, is a frothy, optimistic, very American film about Richard Montañez, a Mexican American kid from San Bernardino County who grows up to work at a Frito-Lay plant and dreams up a billion-dollar idea: Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. Through Montañez, the rise of the fingertip-staining, habit-forming, spicy corn-based snack becomes a story of the American dream — a ’90s-style janitor-to-executive tale fueled by pure grit and guts.
