L+A: Book-to-screen romance adaptations are booming. Could this be a sign that modern dating, especially for Generation Z (Gen Z), is lacking in some way? From dating apps to anxiety and financial burdens, Gen Z is dating differently — and as a result, romantic love stories seem to be disappearing.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the film industry, and LMU’s School of Film and Television is adapting to these changes. Courses are starting to include AI elements, including a course titled AI Filmmaking, where students create a short film or trailer using AI tools. Additionally there is a new major, Creative Technology and Innovation (CTI), that is currently in the University approval process. The push towards AI has produced mixed reactions, including positive ideas about what it means for SFTV.

“I think it's going to massively bring down budgets and allow people to make more movies, [and] expand their creativity,” said Conrad Adams, film and television production major.

The beloved Marina del Rey California Pizza Kitchen — a sacred institution where LMU students went to split a BBQ chicken pizza and some amazing macaroni and cheese — shut its doors back in the spring of 2024. Within weeks, ominous signage bearing a grinning crocodile holding a pizza box appeared, promising a Brandy Melville and Brandy Melville "Chill since '93" Cafe. "Opening in 2025," the sign read. It is now the fall of 2026. The sign hasn’t been updated, and neither has the building.

According to insiders, the real reason for the holdup isn't permitting issues or supply chain delays. It's that the incoming staff — a rotating cast of 16 year old girls — have been put in charge of the build, and true to form, they are not helping.

OPINION: Even though social media platforms have had their fair share of criticisms towards privacy online, a new, diversifying market of apps allow users to document their daily lives, providing minute-to-minute updates on their workout history, movie and television watching habits and dining experiences. These platforms are adding fuel to the fire of digital intimacy, creating a panopticon of our lives where information is shown off for the sake of being closer to each other, rather than a bizarre intrusion on our lives.

After a tumultuous path to release, including being completely shelved by Warner Bros., “Coyote vs. Acme” has finally hit theaters, becoming a surprising success. Approaching $80 million worldwide, the film has become distributor Ketchup Entertainment’s highest-grossing movie of all time. Now realizing the untapped potential of the iconic cartoon franchise, Warner Bros. and Ketchup Entertainment are teaming up again to resurrect another genre with the Tunes: so****re p**n.

With all key players on board, the film is said to be an Altman-esque ensemble film, split into different anthology shorts.

The first short, titled “Rabbit Season, Duck Season, Fabbit Season…” follows Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck taking their classic bickering to a whole new level. As the two flee from hunter Elmer Fudd yet again, they find a cabin in the woods to hunker down in and get acquainted like never before. However, the two soon realize that Fudd is preying on them in more ways than one. The short has already been described by the rating boards as “desthpicable.”

Lasting, meaningful relationships and the Black student experience were a central theme of The Learning Community’s (TLC) 25th anniversary event on Saturday, Sept. 13 in the Proud Bird Grand Ballroom. TLC, a leadership and academic development program for incoming first-year Black students at LMU, celebrated a quarter-century of building Black student excellence — helping students in the program build confidence and deepen their awareness of Black history as they enter higher education.

“It's important for us to make sure we are strengthening that relationship with all our Black students … Our goal is to figure out how we can reach all of these students that are coming in, Black African American students that are coming into our campus,” shared Jason Perry, TLC’s program coordinator. “How can each of them feel a part of our community in some way, in whatever way?”
