The Beef is going to save the Bear, and you can thank Ebraheim for that.

Despite the apparent impact of the fight on Julia, Guerdy is still grappling with it in a similar manner, as she sobs. She confides in her husband that Julia exploited her for entertainment by humiliating her in front of their daughters. What intrigues me most is that Guerdy’s distress stems from the fact that this incident wasn’t genuine – it was staged. This resonates with something she mentioned during the fight, referring to Julia as “producing.” The offense seems more profound because it didn’t stem from a sincere emotion or place. As they don’t interact in this episode, we can pause on this issue for now.

During my very first audition, I found myself in an unusual situation. A director invited me to his home, where upon opening the door, he was clad in his nightwear. As we progressed with the audition, he kept interrupting me, and at one point, he even placed his hand on my knee. Feeling uncomfortable, I decided it was best to leave immediately.

In this vibrant diner, I find myself seated opposite an intriguing individual. As we settle in, my curiosity is piqued, “Who are you?” I ask, somewhat bewildered. This enigmatic character, portrayed by Sacha Baron Cohen, conceals his true identity until later in the episode, yet it’s eventually revealed that he’s Marvel’s adaptation of Faust’s Mephistopheles, known as Mephisto. Fans have eagerly anticipated Mephisto’s appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for decades, and here he is, with a voluminous hairstyle and piercing, calculating eyes. He inquires, “May I gaze at you?” and it seems like an apt question when facing Anthony Ramos for the very first time. “Impressive,” Mephisto muses, seemingly echoing the thoughts of us all as he takes in my visage. Indeed, he speaks for all of us in admiration.

Absolutely, Ringo Starr is maintaining a rhythm in line with the upcoming four-part biopic series of The Beatles in cinemas, titled “The Beatles Extended Universe.” According to the New York Times, Starr, who will be portrayed by Barry Keoghan in the films, collaborated closely with director Sam Mendes for two days to fine-tune his film’s … Read more

In simpler terms, the ancient tales of ‘Love Island’ also discuss unrequited love and men who are too timid to confess their true feelings, waiting until a more appealing contender, known as a “bombshell,” enters the scene, compelling them to make a move. This scenario is reminiscent of Taylor, Clarke, and Olandria. Olandria has been leaving flirtatious photos in Taylor’s bed, an action that seems too low for her stature, given that it’s hard not to cringe at the thought of mentioning it. Taylor appears to be more drawn towards Clarke. (It’s important to note that I don’t expect Taylor and Clarke’s relationship to last beyond the villa. Taylor dreams of a contemporary, minimalist home, while Taylor seems intent on living in a horse stable.)

If you find it unusual for a two-week delay in the season premiere of a show that has been running since 1997 to be described as “ruining” or “messing up,” it could be because Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s statement lacks some background information. The creators, who co-own South Park with Paramount Global, are also involved in a disagreement with the media conglomerate over the streaming rights to the show. With South Park’s previous exclusive streaming deal with Max (soon to be HBO Max) ending last week, Stone and Parker, along with Paramount Global, have been working to find a new home for the series on a streaming platform or multiple non-exclusive platforms. The creators have accused Paramount of interfering in their negotiations with potential streamers like Warner Bros. Discovery and Netflix, who are reportedly interested in carrying the series. According to The Hollywood Reporter, they have threatened legal action on the matter in a letter to Jeff Shell, the incoming president of Paramount Global. Among their allegations: Paramount Global attempted to persuade Warner Bros. Discovery to agree to a shorter, five-year streaming deal for the series and negotiate terms where it would only stream new seasons of South Park after a 12-month window of exclusivity on Paramount+.

The leadership provided suggestions to enhance the main character’s perceived masculinity, as reported by THR. Certain scenes were cut, such as one labeled Elio’s “trash-ion show,” where he displayed a pink tank top made from beach litter to a hermit crab. Additionally, images in Elio’s bedroom that suggested same-sex attraction were taken out. A former Pixar artist shared that throughout the film’s production, these scenes hinting at Elio’s queer sexuality were frequently toned down. It seems that Pixar finds it simpler to visualize an eyeless alien than a young character with queer identity.

In a video shared on social media on July 1st, McElhenney/Mac expressed his reasoning behind the name change, stating that it aims to reduce confusion about the correct pronunciation and spelling of “McElhenney”, while acknowledging that it might come off as somewhat arrogant. He mentioned that a significant portion of his time has been wasted due to people mispronouncing or misspelling his name, costing him valuable days of his life. Furthermore, he pointed out that many generations have altered the spelling and the current one was simply bestowed upon his ancestor by an official with authority over naming conventions. He also mentioned that most people already refer to him as “Rob Mac” in everyday conversation. Interestingly enough, while many recognize him as “that guy from It’s Always Sunny”, his character on the show shares the name Mac (originally “Fat Mac”). The new season of It’s Always Sunny premieres on July 9th, leading some to speculate that this name change might be a promotional strategy for the show. However, it seems unlikely given the timing and context of his explanation.

Five years after the initial release, we now have “The Old Guard 2”, directed by Victoria Mahoney. Despite being given the green light shortly following the debut film, it faced various setbacks and wasn’t released until recently (production was reportedly completed in 2022). This delay might confuse those who may have forgotten about “The Old Guard” or chose not to watch it initially, as this sequel continues directly from where the first movie ended. The narrative begins with the recovery of an ancient iron maiden containing Quynh (Veronica Ngo), who was thrown into the sea centuries ago. She, of course, was a former partner and fellow warrior to Andromache, also known as Andy (Charlize Theron), our group’s apparent immortal leader. The appearance of Quynh was hinted at in the closing scenes of the first film, where her tale added a somber depth to Andy, who was tormented by guilt over her inability to locate her. Keep in mind that these beings cannot die, but they do feel and experience pain, so Quynh was trapped at the bottom of the sea, repeatedly drowning and reviving, hundreds of times a day for hundreds of years. The implication was that she had lost her sanity in unimaginable ways beneath the waves.
