I was really fascinated to read a new report from My Time to Shine – they’re usually spot-on with this stuff! Apparently, Sony’s Tom Rothman was a big fan of Jon Watts, the director who brought us the last three Spider-Man movies with Marvel, and initially wanted him back for the next one. But when it became clear Watts wasn’t going to return, Rothman already had another director in mind.
Hey everyone, just wanted to share an update on Brandon. He’s a creator I really enjoy – you probably know him from his documentary-style videos and those awesome street interviews. Sadly, he’s been going through a really tough time with his health for months. He recently let us know he was admitted to the ICU, and things are super serious. Apparently, his heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys are all in really bad shape, and the doctors are working hard to try and get him stable. It’s definitely scary, and I’m hoping he pulls through.
I’ve been going to these yoga sessions, and it’s amazing how many people are showing up – people are coming from all over the US and even from other countries! It all started with just a single class led by this instructor, Trish Sexstella, but it got so popular that it just kept going. She said she never expected it to blow up like this!
The next World of Warcraft expansion, Midnight, takes place in a completely revamped Quel’Thalas, where a massive Void invasion is underway. This invasion is orchestrated by Xal’atath, who weakened Azeroth during the events of The War Within, allowing the powerful voidlord Dimensius to strike. The Void’s goal is to seize control of the Sunwell—a powerful source of magic—and spread fear across the world. Players will need to bring the scattered elven clans back together, team up with ancient allies, and fight alongside the forces of the Light in a final stand against the encroaching darkness. Key locations in the campaign will include Eversong Woods, Zul’Aman, Harandar, and the Voidstorm.

The game, called Horses, was initially banned from Steam. When the developers submitted it for approval in 2023, Valve made an unusual request: they wanted to play the entire game first. According to Pietro Righi Riva, the studio’s co-founder, this had never happened to them before. At the time, the game was only partially complete, but Steam insisted on a full playthrough for approval. Santa Ragione quickly worked to finish the game and provide Valve with a complete version for review.
Despite having an English X (formerly Twitter) account and YouTube channel, the game’s big announcement wasn’t made there first. Instead, it debuted in a video currently only available on the Korean and Japanese YouTube channels.
The customs agent they’re looking into, Antony Snootley (played by John Leguizamo), appears only slightly surprised to see a rabbit and a fox together. He doesn’t seem shocked, even though it’s an unusual pairing. Perhaps he’s convinced because their ‘child,’ Nick’s old friend Finnick the fennec fox, genuinely looks like he could be a mix of fox and rabbit. Or maybe he simply recognizes the main point of Zootopia 2: despite any talk about celebrating differences, the movie is really about the romantic connection between the rabbit and the fox.
Over its five seasons, Stranger Things has launched the careers of many of its young actors. Stars like Finn Wolfhard have gone on to appear in big movies like the recent IT and Ghostbusters films, while Millie Bobby Brown has become a lead in projects like Netflix’s Enola Holmes series and the Monsterverse films. Even David Harbour has moved into leading roles after previously being known for supporting characters. For many of these actors, Stranger Things was just the beginning of their success.
