Minority Mindset

Meeting the actor from The Mandalorian wasn’t the only unexpected celebrity sighting that evening, but it likely stood out for Pascal. Jones, a former Saturday Night Live cast member, recently told Vulture about meeting the Narcos actor at the SNL50 celebration, and playfully used a curse word while recounting the story.

If you remember the movie The Princess Diaries from 2001, Mia Thermopolis, played by Anne Hathaway, had a crush on her best friend’s brother, Michael Moscovitz, played by Robert Schwartzman. The film ended with them sharing a first kiss at Mia’s royal ball. But the second movie surprisingly switched Mia’s love interest to Nicholas Devereaux, played by Chris Pine, who has even expressed interest in a potential new film. Now, Robert Schwartzman has shared that he’s been talking about a third movie. Here’s what he had to say:

Wow, the season one finale of House of the Dragon really delivered! For a while, it felt like the show was slowly finding its footing, but by the end, everything just clicked. It finally captured that epic, immersive feeling that made Game of Thrones so addictive. Honestly, this is where it stopped feeling like just a prequel and became its own compelling story. I finally found myself genuinely invested in these characters, and it wasn’t just about the dragons – I cared about who was riding them. The finale reminded me exactly why I fell in love with the world of Westeros in the first place. It’s too early to say if House of the Dragon will maintain this momentum, but right now, I’m cautiously optimistic that it will be a worthy addition to the Game of Thrones universe.

Che recently shared news on Instagram about a concerning situation: the government shutdown has caused funding for November’s SNAP benefits to run out.

Released in 2017, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales received mostly negative reviews, earning a 30% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. While audiences gave it a better 60% rating, it still fell short of the original Pirates of the Caribbean films. Critics felt the movie relied too heavily on old ideas, didn’t handle popular characters like Jack Sparrow well, and contradicted previously established storylines. Despite these issues, the film offered some entertainment and appealed to fans of Orlando Bloom’s earlier work. Notably, the movie brought together Bloom with several of his former The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit co-stars, creating a mini Middle-earth reunion.
