Everyone's Favorite Rom-Com Bestie Finally Has a Movie of Her Own. Why Did It Have to Be This One?
For years now, an online shop called Super Yaki has been selling T-shirts and hats printed with the message "Judy Greer should've been the lead." That there is a market for such merch is a testament to just how beloved an actress Greer is, despite her reputation for always playing the sidekick rather than the main character. This month, though, all those T-shirt wearers' wishes have come true, sort of: The 49-year-old receives top billing in a movie that debuted on more than 3,000 screens last week. If you're wondering why you haven't heard of it, here comes the catch: Greer's lead role is in a Christian family movie from the son of the guy who co-wrote the Left Behind books. Greer plays a mother who takes on the challenge of directing her church's annual Christmas play in The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, directed by Dallas Jenkins, creator of Christian miniseries The Chosen, and based on the 1972 children's book of the same name.

If you thought creative jobs like acting would be among the last to be taken over by AI-powered robots, think again, as'b', the world's first film to feature an AI robot in the lead role was just announced. The upcoming film, which reportedly revolves around "a scientist who discovers dangers associated with a program he created to perfect human DNA and helps the artificially intelligent woman he designed (Erica) escape," stars Erica, a humanoid robot powered by artificial intelligence which is also conveniently immune to the highly contagious novel coronavirus. Developed by Japanese scientists Hiroshi Ishiguro and Kohei Ogawa as part of their robotics studies, Erica was taught to act by applying the principles of method acting to artificial intelligence. "In other methods of acting, actors involve their own life experiences in the role," Sam Khoze, a producer and writer on the film, told The Hollywood Reporter. "But Erica has no life experiences. She was created from scratch to play the role. We had to simulate her motions and emotions through one-on-one sessions, such as controlling the speed of her movements, talking through her feelings and coaching character development and body language."

Robots' Lead Role in Super Bowl Ads Hint at Tech Anxieties
TurboTax's ad was perhaps the most on the nose, reassuring viewers that a robot couldn't replace a human certified public accountant. When TurboTax's RoboChild says it wants to be a TurboTax Live CPA when it grows up, it gets shot down by a woman who says, "All TurboTax Live CPA's are human beings with live emotions. You're never going to be emotionally complex enough for that job." "I'm sad," responds RoboChild, which then laughs strangely as it tries to work out the emotion of sadness. In Sprint's ad, spokesman Paul Marcarelli asks his robot companions, "How do we tell people they get the best of both worlds with Sprint?" "How about we get two-sport legend Bo Jackson holding a mermaid playing a guitar?" one of the robots suggests. Michelob Ultra's commercial shows a humanoid robot outperforming humans at running, golf, spin class and other athletic endeavors, only to stare longingly through the window when people gather for a beer.
