Rob arrived, really hungry, and asked Lawrence if she had anything to eat. Lawrence had anticipated this, previously telling Norton that Robert can be quite helpless and doesn’t take care of himself well. She joked that she wouldn’t even trust him to put on a coat, and that he wouldn’t remember to eat. Unfortunately, the only food available at their girls’ night was in the trash. While Robert was in the bathroom, Lawrence actually dug some food out of the garbage for him – she compared it to a scene from *The Hunger Games* with Peeta sharing bread. Robert ate everything, was still hungry, and asked for more. Lawrence told him there was some left, but it was also in the trash. This didn’t bother Robert, who happily pulled it out and continued eating. It makes you wonder if the story is actually true, or if it’s an exaggeration – Robert is known to sometimes bend the truth when talking to the media, and Lawrence might be doing the same.

It was almost predictable how things unfolded, because Trowbridge consistently acts like a very bright, but undisciplined, child. He’s capable of being a clever and even cruel politician, and that combination of traits is exactly what we see at the end. Kate correctly guessed he’d act on emotion, while Dennison anticipated his tendency to be excessively demanding and unforgiving.

The creators of *No Other Land* chose to release the film independently so all profits could directly support Palestinians in Masafer Yatta. Co-director Yuval Abraham explained that it didn’t make sense to allow a company that contributes to the oppression of Palestinians to profit from a film documenting that very oppression.

It’s impossible to say exactly when *One Piece* will finish – even the author, Eiichiro Oda, doesn’t know! – but many fans believe the story is approaching its conclusion. If you’re hoping for a clear indication that the end is near, there are a few clues to consider, including a recent statement from Oda himself.

The movie also features Alana Haim, Mamoudou Athie, and Hailey Gates alongside Zendaya and Robert Pattinson. Fans are wondering if Alana Haim’s hairstyle will be as memorable as the one she had in *One Battle After Another*. We’ll have to wait and see – and watch the trailer! Ari Aster, Lars Knudsen, and Tyler Campellone from Square Peg are the producers.

Let’s start with the most pressing issue: the overwhelming and often useless information flooding in through the international asylum exchange program. This situation is so frustrating that Eidra almost wishes she’d lost her job after Roylin’s death. She’s experienced a lot, but the sheer amount of unbelievable and worthless intelligence her team is receiving has her considering a meeting with Hal to see if she’s been sidelined long enough to be reassigned to meaningful work. One particularly ridiculous claim she’s heard is that Americans were involved in the attack on the HMS *Courageous*.

The series *Boots* realistically portrays the intense process of joining the Marines, focusing on an 18-year-old who enlists before the implementation of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” Adapted from Greg Cope White’s memoir, *The Pink Marine*, the show follows a young man (played by Miles Heizer, known for his teen roles) who spontaneously joins basic training with the friend he has a crush on. *Boots* feels like a comedic take on summer camp – our main character endures tough drills, forms close bonds with his fellow recruits, and learns to persevere. The show suggests that the harshness of military training can actually improve a person, which is a bold claim. I kept watching hoping the series would challenge this idea, but after finishing the season, I’m still unsure if it does.

Everything is looking good for Netflix, except they still haven’t won the Academy Award for Best Picture. They’ve been close many times – films have been early frontrunners, critically acclaimed at festivals, and gained momentum late in the season. In fact, Netflix films have received the most nominations overall four times in the last seven years. However, they haven’t actually won the award yet, while newer competitors like Apple, Neon, and A24 have. Will next year finally be their year?

The saying “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” might seem like an excuse for copying, but there’s still something to it. In horror movies, it’s common to see films inspired by earlier works, as the genre constantly evolves by building on what came before. Sometimes this results in uninspired copies, but films like *Scream* and *Get Out* successfully build upon and improve the movies that influenced them. Ideally, a great horror film both honors the past and tries something new, creating a dialogue with the genre’s history.

The five-year period after the Blip allowed some people to heal and start over, while others took advantage of the chaos. Criminal organizations stepped into positions of power, those in exile gained influence, and even everyday people had their lives unexpectedly changed. This pause fundamentally altered careers, relationships, and political strategies throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
