Christopher Nolan has cemented his status as one of our most consistently original and thought-provoking directors. Over the last 25 years, Nolan has delivered film after film that deftly balances mainstream appeal with eye-popping visuals, inventive narrative structures and special effects, and existential and/or philosophical themes. And it all started with his big breakthrough film: Memento , which marks the 25th anniversary this year of its US release. (Spoilers below, but we'll give you a heads up before the major reveals.) The origins of Memento are now the stuff of Hollywood legend. Nolan's brother, Jonathan, pitched him a story during a road trip about a man with anterograde amnesia who can't form new lasting memories and yet is intent on tracking down and killing the man who raped and killed his wife. Nolan liked the idea, and Jonathan sent him a draft a few months later. (That draft would eventually become Jonathan's short story, " Memento Mori ," published after the film's release.)

Arsenii Palivoda AppLovin's ( APP ) presence in mobile advertising is still exceptionally strong, based on the prowess of its MAX, Adjust, and AXON platforms, Wedbush Securities said. However, there does appear to be rising competition, the investment firm added. “AppLovin commands the largest share of mobile gaming ad spend by a wide margin, and its walled garden — built on MAX, Adjust, and AXON — remains the strongest in the ecosystem,” analyst Alicia Reese wrote in a note to clients. “That said, our expert noted a few dynamics worth monitoring: Meta is reclaiming some iOS share of voice after years of post-ATT decline. While individual studio spend with AppLovin is moderating as pricing rises, AppLovin's overall footprint continues to expand as it onboards more partners, suggesting the growth engine could shift from deepening wallet share to greater breadth of relationships.” Delving deeper, Reese said the underlying architectures of AppLovin's AXON and Unity's ( U ) Vector are “fundamentally similar,” but the difference comes in first-party data. “Unity's upcoming Runtime integration — which would pipe in granular, game-level telemetry including session behavior, churn points, and ad disruption data — is the most important catalyst for closing the gap,” Reese added. “Unity should begin ingesting some of this data into models this year.” Additionally, Unity is attempting to turn itself around with new management, and it appears to be making some headway on that front, Reese added. “The decision to deprecate ironSource signaled internal confidence rather than desperation,” Reese wrote. “The organizational shift to a less-is-more philosophy is freeing resources for the core ad network. Our expert's view was that if Unity's one-stop-shop vision (engine + monetization + Runtime data) comes together, the company has 'as big an opportunity as anyone.'” Reese also pointed to Meta Platforms ( META ) as a competitor in gaming, as its iOS share of voice in gaming has climb...

Hammersmith Apollo, London The sitcom star and Taskmaster stalwart is on commanding form as she embarks on Older Than Jesus, her first – and deeply daft – standup tour That staple realisation of early midlife, that one has now lived longer than Jesus did, usually hits around aged 33. Aisling Bea is 42, and only just getting round to performing Older Than Jesus – a show, or at least a title, you suspect may have been long in the planning. Fair enough: what with hit sitcoms here and a Taskmaster stint there, the County Kildare import has only now embarked on her first standup tour. But there’s nothing rookie about the 75 minutes offered up here: Bea is on commanding and fun-loving form with a set assembling the thoughts prompted by (and sometimes even related to) her recent “accidental pregnancy” and becoming a mum. Lest that suggest maturity on the show’s part, let me cheerfully note that Bea comes across as unreconstructedly daft and self-involved as ever. Whether she’s recalling a childhood fashioning DIY Dairylea spreadables with secondhand “bodies of Christ”, acting out at the wrap party for a duff Take That movie, or moonlighting as a dad at her sister’s antenatal class, the keynote is always cartoon egotism and a keen sense of her own ridiculousness. Putting her back out when performing a “slut drop”, or later curating the playlist to her own C-section, we’re invited to savour the contrast between the glamourpuss Bea of her own fervent imagination, and the less Insta-friendly reality.

FabrikaCr Starboard Value confirmed through SEC filings that it is still one of TripAdvisor's ( TRIP ) most influential shareholders. The latest flurry of filings indicated that the activist firm holds about a 9.4% stake, or 10,774,996 shares. The sizable stake has already resulted in TripAdvisor ( TRIP ) expanding its board and agreeing to add four Starboard-linked directors as part of a standstill agreement. Starboard's expectations for TripAdvisor ( TRIP ) are centered on faster execution, sharper portfolio focus, and better value creation. In addition, TripAdvisor ( TRIP ) management is being pushed to accelerate strategic decisions, improve operations, and consider whether it should lean harder into higher-growth businesses such as Viator and TheFork rather than its slower core hotel metasearch business. Shares of TripAdvisor ( TRIP ) are down more than 25% on a year-to-date basis. Short interest on TRIP stands at an elevated level of 26.0% of the total float, which could easily add to trading volatility. Notably, some bears on TRIP have pointed to the risk of agentic AI disruption, while bulls think an M&A announcement could be a catalyst. Last month, Seeking Alpha analyst Mare Evidence Lab pointed to upside for the communications stock amid the activist pressure. In particular, The Fork business is expected to likely command a premium M&A multiple in the dining reservation segment, given its scale.
