Last month, YouTube quietly began showing ad-supported movies for the first time, giving viewers access to Hollywood titles including "The Terminator" and "Legally Blonde" for free.The platform started promoting the free feature-length films in the movie section of the site in October, where it has sold movies and shows for years. Consumers could buy the latest blockbusters and prime-time TV programs through YouTube as they might on Apple iTunes and Amazon Prime, but there was never a free option to watch the movies in exchange for commercial interruptions."We saw this opportunity based on user demand, beyond just offering paid movies. Can we do ad-supported movies, free to the user?" says Rohit Dhawan, director of product management at YouTube. "It also presents a nice opportunity for advertisers."

Search for "Ad Age" under "Skills" in the Alexa app.What people are talking about todayUK department store John Lewis, famous for its heartwarming holiday ads, is trying something new this year. While its past ads often had a whimsical, storybook feel (with tales of a stuffed penguin, a monster under the bed, the man on the moon), this year's highly awaited spot stars a celebrity pitchman, Elton John.

But there are plenty of divisive topics in the world right now, so can we please not argue too much about this ad? A lot of people love it. Full disclosure: The author of this newsletter, who generally changes the station when Elton John songs come on the radio, shed quite a few tears over this commercial.
