A Sister Act 3 was first announced for Disney+ way back in 2018, before the service ever actually debuted. Whoopi Goldberg confirmed her involvement in the movie in the fall of 2020, but two years later, we still have no new Sister Act to show for it.Usually the kind of delay means a film is trapped in development hell, and likely never to escape. But Goldberg herself says the project is still alive and could be moving forward soon. In an interview with Collider she said that she is “waiting for the script at the end of the month” — i.e. October. So it’s just a matter…
From a fallen angel to a bearded, red-hued man with horns, the Prince of Darkness’ has been depicted in many different forms over the years.

No TV doctor should ever promise that a patient is in good hands. Invariably, something comes up that’s beyond the doctor’s control, leading to heartbreaking outcomes and extra drama. Marcel’s dilemma on Chicago Med Season 8 Episode 6 illustrated this nicely. As soon as he told Will he’d take great care of Maria, I knew something was going to happen that shouldn’t. Will was right that Marcel shouldn’t have left the OR before the procedure was complete, but he was wrong about why Marcel did. Despite Marcel’s claim at the end that fame had gone to his head, that didn’t…
A collaborative study published in PLOS ONE, documents the periodic disappearance (and reappearance) of white-lipped peccaries in nine countries in South and Central America. The authors say the population fluctuations may represent the first documented case of natural population cyclicity in a Neotropical mammal. The study is led by the Departamento de Zoologia, Universidade de Brasilia, and co-authored by more than 20 other organizations including the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). White-lipped peccaries (Tayassu pecari) are pig-like hoofed mammals native to the tropical forests of Central and South America. They are extremely social, forming large herds of up to hundreds of…

All her pieces featured the brand’s classic logo in an allover print, allowing her to embrace the sheer, catsuit, and logomania…
On the morning of October 9, astronomers’ inboxes pinged with a relatively modest alert: NASA’s Swift Observatory had just detected a fresh burst of energy, assumed to be coming from somewhere within our own galaxy. But six hours later—when scientists realized an instrument on the Fermi Space Telescope had also flagged the event—another more pressing email arrived. “We believe that this source is now likely a gamma-ray burst,” it read. “This would suggest a highly energetic outburst, and therefore we strongly encourage follow-up.” In other words, this was a career-making chance to catch a rare celestial event in real time.ContentThis…
The planned spin-off of The Batman centered around the iconic Arkham Asylum has found its showrunner, with Variety reporting that filmmaker Antonio Campos has boarded the project.RELATED: HBO Max’s Gotham PD Spin-Off Has Now ‘Evolved’ Into an Arkham SeriesThe report mentions that Campos will direct and serve as showrunner and executive producer of the series when the show is eventually made. The last caveat is a bit of an important one, as Campos is now the third writer brought onto the DC project since its initial announcement in July 2020. Since then, the show has morphed from a drama series about…
Jennifer Lawrence has revealed that she backed out of the Adam McKay-directed Elizabeth Holmes movie upon watching Amanda Seyfried’s Emmy-winning portrayal of the Theranos fraudster on the Hulu miniseries The Dropout. In an interview with The New York Times for her upcoming drama Causeway, Lawrence praised Seyfried’s performance while also providing an update on her Don’t Look Up collaborator’s long-developing Theranos project Bad Blood. “I thought she was terrific,” she shared. “I was like, ‘Yeah, we don’t need to redo that.’ She did it.” Lawrence’s sentiment was all but confirmed when Seyfried was awarded the 2022 Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write See It Happening? I have a good relationship with the neighbors on either side of my home, both of whom are a bit older than I am and have been in the neighborhood for decades. I thought it might be fun to work that into a story or a series, to kind of honor the effect of female friendships and support. The rest of the plot kind of mushroomed from there. If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of See It Happening, what would they…
Max Maven, the influential magician and mentalist, and character actor Andrew Prine, who starred in many Westerns, both died earlier this week. Maven was 71, while Prine was 86. According to Deadline, Maven passed away at his home in Hollywood on Tuesday, November 1, after a two-year battle with glioblastoma.

Always dressed in black and sporting a widow’s peak, Maven became an iconic figure in the world of…
The autumnal switch from daylight saving time (DST) to standard time comes with a surge of deer-vehicle collisions in the U.S., a new study suggests. The researchers argue that sticking with DST, permanently, could reduce the number of accidents, sparing the lives of dozens of people and tens of thousands of deer annually.The new study, published Wednesday (Nov. 2) in the journal Current Biology (opens in new tab), examined how switching to DST in spring and then turning the clocks back in fall might affect the rate of animal-related car crashes. Data from 23 states suggested that more than 90%…
Ryan Murphy’s newest Netflix series might take its creative license as gospel and pierce its story full of plot holes, but that doesn’t make the real-estate thriller The Watcher any less absorbing a binge.

Viewers of The Watcher will undoubtedly have one pressing question after the credits play: If that creepy old house was real, what the heck happened to it?The limited series is based on a feature reported in The Cut, telling…

For much of the 1980s and into the 1990s, the Friday the 13th series was as dependable as death and taxes. Every year or so, Jason Voorhees would rise from the grave to torture the latest batch of visitors to Camp Crystal Lake or, eventually, folks in Manhattan or even outer space.The entire franchise was rebooted in 2009, but while the movie was a financial success like almost every other Friday the 13th film, it marked the end of the franchise, at least in the short term. Various sequels or reboots were developed, but nothing ever made it to the screen. Jason finally got to enjoy…

If you’ve ever had a splinter before, then you’ll know they can be painful and often quite difficult to remove, too. So, what happens if you don’t take out a splinter?Splinters can break the skin, allowing for inflammation, infection, toxic reactions, and granuloma formation, especially if booster vaccinations are not up to date, according to the American Association of Family Physicians (opens in new tab). “Skin is a physical barrier that prevents infections. Leaving a splinter in the skin makes it easier for bacteria outside of the skin to actually get under the skin,” certified nurse practitioner Ashley Jones told Live…

Stories about feudal Japan especially — featuring samurai, ninja, and feudal lords — remain ubiquitously popular across all media forms. I can only try to express the overwhelming volume of historical novels that are all apparently different but seem very similar you’ll find in a Japanese bookstore, and period movies and dramas also always carry a certain level of prestige. But despite its popularity in Japan, I found that I struggled to think of any examples that…
Examining the mental toll Chucky’s reign of terror has on the teenagers should have happened sooner, but Chucky Season 2 Episode 5 sent the narrative in a clear direction. If you watch Chucky online, you know Jake, Lexy, and Devon have been going from one pressure cooker environment to another, and now that we’re seeing how they’re impacted, it makes the school setting more intriguing. They’re in an unforgiving environment, and peeling back at the broader mythology at play shows there’s a lot to be excited about. Lexy’s self-medicating with drugs and alcohol has been a cause for concern, but…

In an attempt to shift that blame, Dragonbridge’s influence campaign went so far as to create spoofed posts from Intrusion Truth, a mysterious pseudonymous Twitter account that has previously released evidence tying multiple hacking campaigns to China, including those of APT41. The fake Intrusion Truth posts instead falsely tie APT41 to US hackers. Dragonbridge also created an altered, spoofed version of an article in the Hong Kong news outlet Sing Tao Daily pinning APT41’s activities on the US government.In a more timely example of Dragonbridge’s disinformation operations, it also sought to blame the destructive sabotage of the Nord Stream natural…

In 1983 the Eighth Amendment to the Irish constitution enshrined an abortion ban that had prevailed in the nation for more than a century. Public opinion on the issue shifted in the new millennium, however, and by 2016 it was clear that a real debate could no longer be avoided. But even relatively progressive politicians had long steered clear of the controversy rather than risk alienating voters. Who would be trustworthy and persuasive enough to break the deadlock? The answer was a bunch of ordinary people. Seriously. The Irish Parliament convened a citizens’ assembly, whose 99 members were chosen at…

No matter what stage of life you’re in, I’m a big believer that you can wear whatever you want, whenever you want. There shouldn’t be “rules” or “dos” and “don’ts” just because you’re older or younger. Societal norms are shedding left, right and centre, and never before has it been cooler to age while staying true to yourself. Many of the most admired and most iconic women in the fashion industry haven’t done a 180 on their favourite looks just because they’ve hit 40, 50, 60 or more.A real tastemaker will be guided by what feels right, but we all have wobbles and moments…
