“When Shakespeare wrote of the ‘slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,’ he may not have imagined the threat of a python loose in a bar or Hamlet wrestling with whether ‘to be’ on a helipad. Yet ‘Grand Theft Auto’ might be an oddly appropriate venue for a play where nearly everyone dies.” It begins streaming on Mubi on Friday, Feb. 21.— The modern reimagining of the graphic novelstarring Bill Skarsgård and directed by Rupert Sanders makes its debut on Starz on Wednesday.

It also became an international tourist attraction after Facebook plastered the symbol on a giant sign that stood outside its Silicon Valley headquarters until the company rebranded itself as Meta Platforms in 2021.delves into the convoluted story behind a symbol that’s become both the manna and bane of a digitally driven society.

It’s a tale that traces back to gladiator battles for survival during the Roman Empire before fast-forwarding to the early 21st century when technology trailblazers such as Yelp co-founder Russ Simmons, Twitter co-founder Biz Stone, PayPal co-founder Max Levchin, YouTube co-founder Steve Chen, and Gmail inventor Paul Buchheit were experimenting with different ways of using the currency of recognition to prod people to post compelling content online for free.As part of that noodling, a Yelp employee named Bob Goodson sat down on May 18, 2005, and drew a crude sketch of thumbs up and thumbs down gestures as a way for people to express their opinions about restaurant reviews posted on the site.
