During my high school and college days, I was never one to shy away from putting my hair through the wringer. I was at the salon at least once a month to straighten my 3B/3C curly hair, and somewhere along the line, I decided I wanted to try highlights. Spoiler alert: it didn’t end well. Even though I was loving my honey-colored highlights, the damage that it caused was undeniable. Anytime I wore my curls out, I noticed more frizz, breakage, and overall dryness (deep conditioner became my best friend).Fast forward to 2018, and I had somewhat of a curly…

All lieutenants are bad, to paraphrase a famous axiom, and that includes officers on every police force, everywhere – at least, this is the premise of the Bad Lieutenant films. Not a franchise, not an original film and its remakes, but rather a secret, third thing, Abel Ferrara’s 1992 Bad Lieutenant, with Harvey Keitel; Werner Herzog’s 2009 Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, and now Takashi Miike’s Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo, with Shun Oguri, are more like variations on a theme. In all three films, a corrupt and guilt-stricken cop, plagued by his demons and intoxicated by his state-supplied power and many other substances besides, weathers the twin crucibles of a gruesome…

Lil always seeks freedom, and she’s not afraid to admit to being a little rebellious.

The idea of weapons in space, once a plot of science fiction, became a reality Monday (Sept. 14), when U.S. Air Force Secretary Troy Meink revealed at the Air, Space and Cyber Conference in Maryland that the United States had deployed “on-orbit space control weapons capable of defending the Joint Force against hostile adversary action.”Experts are worried that with this new announcement, outer space may become the next frontier for an arms race. The 1967 Outer Space Treaty, signed by both the U.S. and the Soviet Union, dictated that no weapons should be placed in orbit. But the treaty had…

As a considerable fan of the Resident Evil series of survival horror video games, I had the constant image of the famous Leonardo DiCaprio pointing meme in my head while watching Zach Cregger’s hardcore splatter homage. Yet with this studied adaptation he has coined a new, acceptable method of fan service, where those little nostalgic cues are either baked into the narrative or take a cogent place within the backdrop. They never feel like little in-film marketing prompts, desperately reminding you that, as soon as you’ve left the cinema, you need to go and purchase a bunch of merchandise.An original series of films, many of…

The focus of the panel: to confront the rapid rise of AI, whose threat to their quiet discipline has thrust them into the limelight.In the past year alone, AI systems have made substantial contributions to the…

Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images It might be hard to believe, but today we celebrate the 35th anniversary of one of television’s all-time greatest sitcoms: “Home Improvement.” It was on this date in 1991 that Tim Allen’s stand-up comedy routine came to life in the form of Tim Taylor, his family, and his show-within-a-show, “Tool Time.” “Home Improvement” was an instant hit with audiences, became one of the most popular sitcoms of the ’90s, and remained a top 10 show for its first seven seasons before falling to 11th place in its final season.

From sheer capri pants to sculptural shoes, Bella Hadid has never been afraid to gamble on experimental fashion trends. Her latest jewelry choice, however, is anything but risky—in fact, it’s managed to stay relevant for 50 years. I’m talking, of course, about Chopard’s Happy Diamonds collection, which features free-floating diamonds that move with the wearer.This week in New York City, Hadid styled a Valentino S/S 96 vintage minidress with Chopard’s new Happy Diamonds Icons Pendant Necklace ($6730) and Happy Hearts Pendant ($18,100). “I grew up with this idea, first expressed by my mother, that diamonds are happier when they are…
