What's Coming to Disney+ in February 2023

Image
Disney is doing nothing much to subvert February’s reputation as the worst month of the year. The Disney+ release calendar for February 2023 has arrived and on it you’ll find...nothing much that stands out, aside from the streaming premiere of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (Feb. 1), just in time to (maybe) coincide with the announcement of Angela Bassett’s Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Angela Bassett Wins Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture | 2023 Golden Globe Awards on NBC Other than that, the streamer is short on marquee premieres this month while everyone waits for season three of The Mandalorian to drop March 1 and deliver us more of the Baby Yoda we crave . In the meantime, you can at least enjoy straggling episodes from the most recent seasons of Star Wars: The Bad Batch and National Treasure: Edge of History , with the finale of the latter arriving Feb. 8. Here’s everything else arriving on Disney+ in February, including a new season of the animat...

Where to Stream All the Nominees for the 2023 Oscars

Image
Screenshot : Everything Everywhere All at Once/A24 If the nominations for the 2023 Academy Awards tell us anything, it’s that the movies are back, baby: After two years of pandemic disruption, and following last year’s ceremony, during which a film released by Apple on its streaming service took home Best Picture, the vast majority of this year’s Oscar nominees played first in theaters. Also telling: For the first time in two years, you actually have to venture out to theaters if you want to see all of the Best Picture nominees in advance of the ceremony on March 12. A handful of Best Picture nominees— Top Gun: Maverick; Avatar: The Way of Water; Elvis; Everything Everywhere All at Once —were even box office hits, which is more than you can say for the likes of many recent contenders, even before COVID threatened to kill moviegoing forever. It’s anyone’s guess if the excitement over populist favorites will result in stronger ratings for the Oscar ceremony itself, which is coming o...

An Existentialist Guide to Feeling Nothing

Image
I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...

What Are SQL Stored Procedures and How Do You Create Them?

Image
Stored procedures: like functions for your SQL. A stored procedure is a batch of SQL statements created and stored on a database. You can reuse a stored procedure over and over again. A stored procedure can accept parameters, run a query, and return results. Many users can call a stored procedure and different applications can call it with different parameter values. What Are the Benefits of Using Stored Procedures? Apart from allowing multiple users and applications to reuse it, a stored procedure has other benefits. It is easy to modify. You can change a stored procedure when necessary and these updates will be reflected for all users. Furthermore, you don’t need to redeploy your application when you modify the stored procedure. It reduces network traffic because the server only passes the procedure’s name over the network and not the entire query. It improves database security since users don’t have direct access to tables. To make...
