You’ve probably heard people say couples who argue a lot are ‘fighting like an old married couple.’ But it seems that doesn’t happen for everyone! Actor George Clooney recently shared on a podcast that he and his wife, Amal, haven’t had a fight in ten years.
If you’re a Netflix subscriber hoping to watch The Green Mile, you’ll need to do so soon! The movie, based on Stephen King’s 1996 novel and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Frank Darabont, will be leaving the streaming service on January 1, 2026. Don’t miss your chance to revisit this emotionally powerful drama, or experience it for the first time, before it’s gone!
It’s no coincidence she’s revisiting this experience now. The period between Christmas and New Year’s is a time when many people look back on their choices, and what felt like enjoyable treats can suddenly seem like overindulgence. With so much talk about starting fresh and changing habits, conversations about body image and self-discipline naturally increase, making Swift’s thoughts feel both timely and familiar.
I was so excited to hear Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Emily Blunt, and director Benny Safdie took their new film, The Smashing Machine, to the Venice Film Festival! It was actually The Rock’s first time being invited to a festival of that caliber, which is pretty incredible considering how huge he’s become in Hollywood. He told me he started noticing all the other stars there and hearing about these massive standing ovations other films were getting. Being a first-timer at Venice, he was definitely a little nervous about how The Smashing Machine would be received, and honestly, he admitted he wouldn’t pretend otherwise – it’s a big deal!
In 2012, Peter Jackson revisited the world of Middle-earth with a new movie trilogy based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s 1937 novel, The Hobbit. The story follows Bilbo Baggins, Frodo’s uncle (technically a cousin), as he joins a group of dwarves on a quest to take back their home and treasure from Smaug, a dragon living in the Lonely Mountain. Jackson divided the book into three films: An Unexpected Journey (2012), The Desolation of Smaug (2013), and The Battle of the Five Armies (2014). While inspired by the book, the trilogy isn’t a strict adaptation; it often feels more like a prequel to Jackson’s Lord of the Rings films. This is especially noticeable in the darker, more dramatic ending, which differs significantly from the tone of the original Hobbit book.
Though the movie takes place in the 1950s, it feels very current, largely because it centers on a character driven to succeed at any cost. However, the character, Marty, still has a strong sense of empathy, which stops him from doing truly wrong things and highlights the complex, often contradictory, nature of people.
Despite any criticism, The Simpsons remains a hugely important part of American television history. It’s understandable that the show’s quality has varied over its many years – as the longest-running scripted prime-time series in the US, some inconsistency is to be expected.
In the world of Cyberpunk, cyberpsychosis is a significant threat. It happens when someone installs too many cybernetic implants and starts to lose control of their mind and actions. According to Mike Pondsmith, the creator of the Cyberpunk tabletop RPG, the point at which this happens isn’t the same for everyone – each person has a different breaking point. He’s also shared his thoughts on how the characters V and David Martinez differ from each other.
I’m highlighting this because very few games truly grab my attention and make me want to replay them – it’s a rare and special quality.
There was a breakdown brewing on the charts, but just when it looked like the party was about to end, dip buyers swooped in like knights in shining armor-or at least folks with deep pockets. Now it’s up to the big money to decide if this will be a glorious comeback or if Pi Coin will tumble back into the dreaded breakdown abyss.
