Howard Deutch’s Pretty in Pink is packed with 80s nostalgia – from its famous soundtrack, including Otis Redding’s “Try a Little Tenderness,” to the unforgettable fashion – making it enjoyable even for younger audiences. As the film marks its 40th anniversary, revisiting it reveals a story as much about social class as it is a reflection of the decade. It arrived during a time of increased political awareness, when pop culture often carried underlying messages and class differences were hard to miss. While John Hughes created stronger films, Pretty in Pink is refreshingly honest about its goals, even if it occasionally feels a bit predictable or overdone, despite its ambition.

It’s currently unknown if the new movie will continue the story from Tom Hardy’s films or start the Venom story over completely. Regardless, the film needs to avoid repeating the problems of the previous live-action movies. Now is the perfect time to focus on a period of Venom’s history that hasn’t been explored much on screen.

According to Variety, Matt Dillon will star as Chris Adams in the new MGM+ series based on The Magnificent Seven. He’s taking on the role originally made famous by Yul Brynner in the 1960 movie. Here’s what the character is like, according to the official description:

The show’s fifth season, recently confirmed as the last by HBO, may bring a satisfying conclusion.

I have to admit, I was a little surprised by how calmly Kristen Kish took getting ‘murdered’ on The Traitors. She joked that she was just really hungry – ‘hangry,’ as she put it! As the host of Top Chef and a former winner, she’d been playing a really smart, careful game, and she’d actually started to suspect Eric, a friend of hers, as one of the Traitors. That’s when Eric – who had just turned Traitor – and the original Traitor Rob decided to eliminate her. In her exit interview, Kristen was so composed. She said she felt ‘at peace’ and even gave Eric a ‘well done’ if he really was a Traitor. It was funny, because she’d previously nailed an impression of his constant sighing – he used it to avoid actually naming anyone as suspicious! Honestly, it was a pretty graceful exit all things considered.
