“There’s definitely a stigma in the industry. I wouldn’t really say from the audience’s perspective—a good film is a good film. But within the industry, I think there’s a stigma.” She ended up working with Nick Cooke, who she says, like her, viewed using a phone as a challenge rather than an obstacle. Stettner believes this reluctance to take phone cameras seriously stems from the fetishization of high-end equipment in the film industry. Using a professional cinema camera can make your work feel like it’s “professional,” even if that’s not always the case. Students also come to film schools to…

Sharon Osbourne reportedly fell ill on the set of a paranormal TV show on Friday, December 16, and was taken to the hospital. According to TMZ, the 70-year-old had a medical emergency on Friday while shooting the show at the Glen Tavern Inn in Santa Paula, CA.

A manager at the Glen Tavern…
A new computational analysis by theorists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory and Wayne State University supports the idea that photons (a.k.a. particles of light) colliding with heavy ions can create a fluid of “strongly interacting” particles. In a paper just published in Physical Review Letters, they show that calculations describing such a system match up with data collected by the ATLAS detector at Europe’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). As the paper explains, the calculations are based on the hydrodynamic particle flow seen in head-on collisions of various types of ions at both the LHC and the…
Photography by Getty Images Remembering Dame Vivienne Westwood, the iconic British fashion designer who brought punk to high fashion. By FASHION Staff Date December 29, 2022 Vivienne Westwood, who died December 29 in London at age 81, is widely credited for being the “high priestess of punk.” But she was so much more than that. Westwood was a visionary whose designs always led, never followed. She was a wit who could skewer aristocratic snobbery with a shrewdly mangled plaid. She was irreverent and provocative, receiving her Order of the British Empire at Buckingham Palace panty-less and putting the Queen with…

‘Tis the season to listen to Christmas songs on repeat without thinking, “Is it too soon?” Like many other artists across genres, Latin acts have been releasing back-to-back bilingual (Spanish and English) holiday songs — whether original or covers — to get in the spirit navideño.

The following post contains SPOILERS for Glass Onion.A good murder mystery can be watched twice: Once to be surprised, and once to see how the movie surprised you. There are clues you missed, red herrings that tricked you, and plot threads you didn’t fully understand until the final solution was revealed. In the case of Glass Onion, it’s only on second viewing that you realize that Rian Johnson essentially spoiled his big structural twist within the movie’s first minutes.The scene in question involves the arrival of several elaborate boxes at the homes or offices of a group of friends.

The Carina star-forming region imaged by the JWST. Credit: NASA It is no exaggeration to say the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) represents a new era for modern astronomy. Launched on December 25 last year and fully operational since July, the telescope offers glimpses of the universe that were inaccessible to us before. Like the Hubble Space Telescope, the JWST is in space, so it can take pictures with stunning detail free from the distortions of Earth’s atmosphere. However, while Hubble is in orbit around Earth at an altitude of 540km, the JWST is 1.5 million kilometers distant, far beyond…
Edward BerthelotGetty Images If you haven’t been gifted a Dyson AirWrap just yet, there is still hope for your hair. Hair dryer brushes are all the rage these days, owing to their simplicity, powerful motors, and ability to give you that trendy ’90s blowout, minus curling irons, hot rollers, or contortionist skills. As beauty editors, we consider ourselves connoisseurs of the topic. But trust us when we say that as much as we love a traditional blow dryer and round brush combo, there is something intensely satisfying about getting a two-in-one product that makes our lives so much simpler. And…
A fine wine can be a lot of things: oaky, fruit-forward, maybe even chewy. But wines of recent vintage also have the bouquet of a logistical nightmare, due to a brutal convergence of natural and human-made crises: drought and extreme heat, plus lingering supply chain hang-ups that have made it harder to get glass, cork, the aluminum for screw caps, and the metal capsules that wrap the tops of bottles. Winemaking is a delicate agricultural ballet embedded within a delicate logistical ballet, and both ballets are going off script simultaneously. “It’s a perfect storm,” says UK-based wine importer Daniel Lambert. “Most…
Love was an overriding theme in R&B in 2022 — and given what people have been enduring over the last several years, between the pandemic, incessant social and political issues as well as economic uncertainty, it’s not surprising. The various iterations of the emotion were rhythmically and lyrically dissected: from new love, spiritual love, toxic love and love lost to, above all, self-love. Established and emerging stars alike embraced the oftentimes complicated subject in refreshing and illuminating ways. Songwriter Muni Long staked her claim to a solo career with “Hrs and Hrs,” her sensuous, no-time-limit take on lovemaking. On the…
When it comes to watching movies, film critics and the majority of theatergoers are going to have a very different experience. Critics are going into a movie with the intention of reviewing it, making note of things they liked and disliked. Sure, everyone is subconsciously doing that when they view a film, but critics are tasked with putting those feelings into words.What’s interesting, though, is that critics and audiences often disagree about the quality of a movie. Things that appeal to reviewers may not sit well with those who just popped into the local theater on a Friday night. And,…
Our built environment—from houses to offices, schools and shops—is not environmentally benign. Buildings and the construction industry are, in fact, the world’s biggest consumer of raw materials and contribute 25–40% of global carbon dioxide emissions (F. Pomponi & A. J. Moncaster Clean. Prod. 143, 710–718; 2017). Making buildings part of a circular economy that minimizes the waste of materials could therefore yield huge environmental rewards. Conversely, failure on this front could have dire consequences. “Buildings can, and must , work in a circular way,” says Francesco Pomponi, who studies the built environment at Edinburgh Napier University, UK. “Otherwise, there’s no way out…

At the risk of sounding trite, The Witcher: Blood Origin Season 1 Episode 3 proves that no matter how the mission to kill the Empress turns out, the real success is the friends we make along the way.

The holiday season is upon us again. With it, many of us brace for dinner-table debates. In an era of social discord, viral misinformation and pandemic-induced stress, arguing with other people is an invitation to exasperation. One common scene plays out as follows. You want to convince a friend or a family member of something you know they disagree with you about, so you share information and walk through your reasoning with them. They reject your case.

Except, of course, it can’t. Virtual reality has been hovering on the cusp of success for decades now, never quite able to attract the masses. In an essay written for WIRED just before Facebook became Meta, writer and academic David Karpf outlined how the culture-shaking promise of VR had repeatedly failed to materialize, despite major advances in hardware and software. “The technology is always about to turn a corner, about to be more than just a gaming device, about to revolutionize fields like architecture, defense, and medicine. The future of work, entertainment, travel, and society is always on the verge of a huge virtual upgrade,” he…

Three battles come to their respective climaxes on The Witcher: Blood Origin Season 1 Episode 4. There is a mage battle, a monster battle, and… well, Merwyn. And while the good guys win, nothing is ever simple when the stakes are this high. Seanchai leaves Jaskier with directions to spread the Song of the Seven.

Changes in Earth’s orbit that favored hotter conditions may have helped trigger a rapid global warming event 56 million years ago that is considered an analogue for modern climate change, according to an international team of scientists. “The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum is the closest thing we have in the geologic record to anything like what we’re experiencing now and may experience in the future with climate change,” said Lee Kump, professor of geosciences at Penn State. “There has been a lot of interest in better resolving that history, and our work addresses important questions about what triggered the event and…
