When I read the takeaways from Students for Fair Admission v. Harvard, I stepped out onto the top of the Rabb Steps the next day and took a good hard look at a 2:00 p.m. rush, a hundred strong. I felt two things. The first was immediate relief. Affirmative action is safe for now, and the diversity I saw only stands to grow from here. The second feeling I had, however, was more malignant. Would this campus be better with less people like me?

When “Hustlers” premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on Sept. 7, it seemed to have one thing working in its favor: Jennifer Lopez. Otherwise, the film’s path to release was a murky one: it was dropped by original financer, Annapurna, right before production began; it had a packed, eight-week production schedule and there were rumors of a behind-the-scenes feud between stars Constance Wu and Lopez; all that added to the fact that a movie about strippers doesn’t exactly invite high expectations. And yet, against all odds, “Hustlers” has exceeded all expectations, currently sitting at a 79 on Metacritic and holding a score of 88 percent on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. When the film opened last week, it shattered all early projections and raked in a whopping $33.2 million, becoming J-Lo’s highest live-action opening of her career, and the biggest opening for a female-directed film since “Wonder Woman.”

With a 90 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and 7.9 out of ten on IMDB, “Spider-Man: Far From Home” swung into theaters on July 2. This is the fifth movie starring Tom Holland as Spider-Man since Disney struck up a deal to allow the Sony-owned character to become part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In this deal, Marvel Studios gained the rights to put Spider-Man in the “Avengers” franchise, if “Marvel won’t receive a cut of the box office for any of Sony’s films that feature Spider-Man. Sony won’t receive a percentage of the revenue Disney makes from Marvel’s films that have Spider-Man, either,” explained a 2015 Variety article.
