Brian Steinberg Senior TV Editor Advertisers who normally use the Super Bowl to create commercials that make your jaw drop instead were content if they could get just a little smile. For the second consecutive year, Madison Avenue relied on a massive parade of celebrities to capture consumer attention, foregoing in many cases the social messages and dynamic creative concepts that have generated chatter in the past. Where the Super Bowl was once the setting for Apple’s still-talked-about “1984” commercial or Procter & Gamble’s clever insertion of Tide into a bevy of ads, it’s now become a place for formulaic cameos of famous faces.

more minutes.” Not once, until I saw “My Old Ass,” which premiered Saturday night at the Sundance Film Festival.Director Megan Park’s otherwise dreamy teen romance flick with a time-travel twist was chugging along quite sublimely, and then it abruptly stopped like someone cut power to the building.Without giving too much away, my hunch is that writer-director Park ended her film, which is produced by Margot Robbie’s LuckyChap, the way she did in order to avoid being lumped in with a particularly tired young-adult sub-genre.

As we welcome in the New Year, we can reveal our annual (non-exhaustive) list of U.S. and international movies we think could grace the festival circuit in 2024.
