Today on the 5: Thanks to a recommendation from Discord, I watched the newly added Double Indemnity over on the Criterion Channel. The film is often cited as a reference example of film noir, and it most certainly is.

Today on the 5: Recent rumors suggest the upcoming Pixel Watch will have a day of battery life. One writer on the Verge finds that acceptable for all the features the device will have. That got me wondering why these watches need so many features active by default.

Today on the 5: The Toronto Comic Art Festival recently invited an artist to appear at their convention that generated some passionate feedback from the community. This story and the Prince lawsuit has me wondering what you all think about art and transformation of existing works.

Today on the 5: I initially wrote off Ghost In The Shell: SAC_2045 as something I'd never watch. After hearing that it was better than either the trailers or reviews made it out to be, I decided to give it a shot.

Today on the 5: I don't have to tell anyone that there was recently another school shooting in the United States. Honestly, I didn't have anything to say about it until I read one of the stupidest statements possible about it: "You Cannot Legislate Away Evil". 

Today on the 5: Rumor has it that Apple is working on a new version of the original HomePod. I'd be all for it, but the company has got to figure out how to make Siri useful. Better yet, dump it entirely!
