As of this writing, the invaluable movie social networking site Letterboxd lists 112,245 released from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2009. Ten years, over 112,000 movies. That means if you dedicated your life to watching every single movie released in the decade over the course of the entire decade, you would have to watch 30 movies every single day to watch them all. I don’t think that is physically possible, although it might be fun to try it.Regardless, the users of Letterboxd are free to rank any and all of these movies on a zero to five star scale. And it is possible…

While production on many shows has ground to a halt, House of the Dragon Season 2 is soldiering on. The hit Game of Thrones prequel is expected to meet its summer 2024 return window, despite the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. As previously reported, those associated with the show are working under different contracts because the show doesn’t film in the U.S. In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, series director Clare Kilner opened up about the decision to nix two episodes from the series order. News broke earlier this year that we would get eight new episodes instead of…

The Adventures of Strawberryhead and Gingerbread: To the Lake We Go! by KF and KM Wheatie It’s a story about a talking strawberry, a gingerbread boy and magical powers — and yet, even with its fantastical elements, The Adventures of Strawberryhead and Gingerbread: To the Lake We Go! (Strawberryhead and Gingerbread Press) is all too relatable to young readers. Making new friends is easier said than done, especially neurodivergent children, in particular can have a hard time forming friendships. The authors recognize this hardship in their dedication: “[t]o all children who have ever felt lonely.” In this interview, authors KF…

Alligators in Florida help other life thriveShutterstock/SunflowerMomma Alligators living in Florida marshes create nutrient-rich hotspots that help some algae, plants and other animals thrive. Animals like beavers are widely considered ecosystem engineers – by felling trees and building dams, they change their environment in ways that benefit other species. But American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) have rarely been considered for their impact on wetland ecosystems, despite their penchant for making a mark on the landscape. From the mucky wetland slough, the large reptiles use their snouts and tails to dig holes in … Read The Full Article Here
As any beauty lover will know, nail trends come and go—and then they come back around again. We’ve seen chrome-effect glazed doughnut nails dominate for a while, and now it’s the turn of a subtler and softer nail trend to follow on its tail.We spotted “angel nails” on celebrity manicurist Tom Bachik’s Instagram, who painted the nails of none other than Selena Gomez. He used two shades from Apres Nails Heavenly Top Gelcoat Set—Cherub and Angelic—to achieve her soft, celestial manicure. Whilst the glazed nail trend gives the nail a chrome glow, angel nails feature a super subtle sparkle that captures the light in a very delicate way. Think tiny glimmers of sparkle rather…

As the Federal Trade Commission moves towards what looks like a lawsuit against Amazon, several authors, booksellers, and anti trust activists want Amazon’s bookselling to also be investigated. The Authors Guild, the American Booksellers Association, and antitrust think tank Open Markets Institute sent a letter Wednesday to the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission requesting that they disrupt the monopoly on the book market that Amazon has. The retail giant’s influence on the book world can’t be overstated — 40% of physical books sold in the U.S. are sold by Amazon, as are 80% of e-books sold. Amazon’s 2008…
The Other Black Girl is poised to be one of the most talked-about shows of the year. Hulu dropped the official trailer for its adaptation of Zakiya Dalila Harris’ best-selling novel on Wednesday, and it’s as unsettling as expected. “Nella, an editorial assistant, is tired of being the only Black girl at her company, so she’s excited when Hazel is hired,” the logline reads. “But as Hazel’s star begins to rise, Nella spirals out and discovers something sinister is going on at the company.” It’s a compelling description, and the trailer nails what the above describes, so that’s a good…
Blackpink’s Jennie joined Dua Lipa on her podcast At Your Service, and the two musicians had a very candid discussion about identity—culturally, and as musicians. The K-pop singer and actress made some first-time confessions during the podcast, including that, at one point, she struggled with being pigeonholed into rapping as a Korean idol trainee because she was a fluent English speaker. “After our debut, we did like six songs where I would just rap, like, seriously rap,” she recalled. “And along the way, I kind of got confused. Because the more I did singing and music, I came to realize…

A Southwest Research Institute-led team has modeled the early impact history of Venus to explain how Earth’s sister planet has maintained a youthful surface despite lacking plate tectonics. The team compared the early collision histories of the two bodies and determined that Venus likely experienced higher-speed, higher-energy impacts creating a superheated core that promoted extended volcanism and resurfaced the planet. “One of the mysteries of the inner solar system is that, despite their similar size and bulk density, Earth and Venus operate in strikingly distinct ways, particularly affecting the processes that move materials through a planet,” said Dr. Simone Marchi,…

On May 30, 1921, when Fletcher was only 7 years old, a white mob descended on the Greenwood district of Tulsa, OK, burning it to the ground and killing what the rest of the country called “Black Wall Street.” “You know, I can still smell the smoke…the burning,” Fletcher said. “I remember the bodies.

When you’ve been in a relationship for as long as I have (we’re talking 16 years), it’s not unusual for date nights to lose their sparkle. Though, when I speak to my single friends about their upcoming dates, often, they too are less than enthused about prepping for them. Gone are the days, however, when “sexy” was the dress code to adhere to for date nights. Whether it’s your first or 50th, it’s important that you stay true to yourself and wear an outfit that reflects who you are and your individual style.Still, no matter how self-assured you are, there’s always…

No one is perfect. But some people can make very, very poor decisions in their lives, and musicians aren’t exempt from that.Rock and metal has had its fair share of crimes and other heinous events, dating all the way back to the ’50s when rock ‘n’ roll was first starting to really take off. Drug charges, abuse allegations and other forms of reckless behavior seem to have been a way of life for a lot of musicians in every decade since then, so there are countless rockers who’ve been arrested.But how many were actually charged, convicted and served time in prison?One of the…
