Guest of the "Quotidien" program this Thursday, Nicolas Sarkozy used the word "monkeys" instead of the word "negroes" when referring to the work of Agatha Christie.

The reactions were not long in coming on social networks.

Mipcom, organized in Cannes every year, will not be held this year.

At least not in physics.

As of Thursday, a petition calling on Netflix users to cancel their subscriptions has collected 600,000 signatures.

Neve Campbell will indeed be back in the fifth installment of the "Scream" saga.

A sequence that has been talking for a few hours

This Thursday evening, the show "Quotidien" on TMC received Nicolas Sarkozy.

The former president came to promote his new book, "Le temps des tempêtes".

And he created his own storm during the interview, when he launched into a shocking association of ideas.

To sum up, Nicolas Sarkozy speaks of the word "monkey" and thinks of Agatha Christie's "Ten little niggers"?

It's exactly that.

A few weeks ago, the French publishing house of Agatha Christie decided to change the title of "Dix petits nègres", which will now be called "They were ten".

A change that comes after the original title of the book was changed in the 1980s.

This, to say the least, clumsy denunciation of a society where "we can no longer say anything" did not go unnoticed, nor did the lack of responses from the "Quotidien" team.

On social networks, voices were quickly raised, on the side of political opponents to Nicolas Sarkozy, but not only.

The author and activist Rokhaya Diallo pretended to wonder innocently on Twitter: "But ?? What part of the population does our former President believe he offends when he says the word 'monkey'?".

Mipcom will not take place.

The large program market, organized in Cannes every year, will not be held this year.

At least not in physics.

Originally, media professionals from all over the world were to meet at the Palais des Festivals for three days, from October 12 to 14, to discover or showcase the novelties.

It is at Mipcom that producers sell their new programs and that the channels make their market.

Is it canceled because of the Covid-19?

Exactly.

Given the health situation, ReedMidem, the organizer of the show, preferred to cancel to focus on a virtual edition of the gathering, called Mipcom Online +.

Laurine Garaude, in charge of MIPCOM at ReedMidem, explained this decision in a press release.

“We have always been clear: we would only host the physical version of the event if conditions permitted. In the face of continued uncertainty around COVID-19 and increased international travel restrictions, we believe that MIPCOM Online + is the most effective way to move forward and bring together the international TV community, ”she explained.

What happens to CanneSéries?

The third edition of the series festival, which was to be organized in parallel with MIPCOM, is being maintained.

From October 9 to 14, screenings will be organized, meetings with screenwriters, producers, and of course there will be competition.

The winners will be unveiled on October 14 during an evening where spectators will also discover in preview the first two episodes of season 4 of "Ten percent".

As of Thursday, a petition calling on Netflix users to cancel their subscriptions has collected 600,000 signatures.

In question, the presence on the streaming service of the French film "Mignonnes".

Maimouna Doucouré's film had already been the subject of controversy when the poster created by Netflix was published to ensure its international promotion.

Voices were raised to denounce this sexualization of the young heroines of the film, who barely enter college.

Netflix had apologized.

Yes, because the poster did not correspond at all to the subject of the film.

Netflix expressed its regrets for this marketing misstep, and we thought the matter was buried.

Until the creation of this petition, whose author denounces a film which "exploits children" and creates "an embarrassing atmosphere".

The #CancelNetflix hashtag topped the most popular Twitter thread in the United States on Thursday.

For its part, an American conservative parents' association criticized the streaming giant for having changed the promotional poster.

"By removing the poster, Netflix may have done more harm than good, by making believe that 'Mignonnes' was only an innocent film about adolescence", denounced the Parents Television Council.

For the time being, Netflix has not responded to this new outcry.

It will not be on Netflix but in the cinema: the return of Neve Campbell!

Last night, we finally had the confirmation that all horror movie fans were waiting: Neve Campbell will indeed be back in the fifth installment of the "Scream" saga.

Nine years after "Scream 4", a fifth film was launched earlier this year, with two hot directors aiming to give the franchise a facelift.

What allow him to find the very subversive side of the first film, which had shaken the genre by openly mocking all the tricks of horror films, precisely.

Neve Campbell will not be the only one to come back.

No, indeed.

This summer, Courteney Cox and David Arquette have already formalized their return in the roles of Gale Weathers and Dewey Riley.

As for the newbies, we learned this Thursday the arrival in the credits of Dylan Minnette, the main actor of the series "13 Reasons Why". 

History to attract young people who have not seen the first four.
