For several months, discussions about the origins of the furry character in “The Pitt” storyline have been buzzing online. During a conversation at Carnegie Mellon University, a fan inquired whether showrunner John Wells was aware of a furry convention taking place in Pittsburgh on July 4th. He replied, “I can assure you that if one isn’t happening, it will be by the time I return!” This suggests he has communicated this to his writing team. Let’s hope this doesn’t stir anything up within him.

On that particular day, film critic Francisco “Fico” Cangiano traveled from Puerto Rico and made a beeline for Alice Tully Hall immediately after landing at the airport. His objective was to attend the evening premiere of Pablo Larraín’s movie titled Maria at the festival, but he also yearned to explore the Criterion Closet during his visit. As fate would have it, the queue for this experience was already quite lengthy upon his arrival. Not long after, a heavy downpour drenched him. Film at Lincoln Center volunteers graciously found him a place to change into dry garments and assisted in retrieving his Maria tickets from will call. It seemed that he might miss the screening if he persisted in standing in line. “I recognized it as a one-of-a-kind opportunity,” he recalled. “Any true Criterion enthusiast who hasn’t fantasized about being inside the closet is being less than truthful.

As a movie enthusiast, I’ve noticed a recurring theme in today’s female-driven crime dramas – they often seem to imply that women can get away with almost anything, from domestic abuse to romantic manipulation. In such stories, unscrupulous men are usually the ones who suffer the consequences, and feminism emerges victorious. However, “The Better Sister” starts off following this familiar path but then takes a shocking twist in its final act. Instead of wrapping up neatly with a satisfying resolution for the protagonist, it leaves one woman shattered under the relentless pressure of its plot, demonstrating an unexpected ruthlessness that sets it apart from its peers and even surpasses its original source material. And let me tell you, watching Kim Dickens portray a cold-hearted villain is nothing short of a luxurious treat!

However, it appears that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is not in agreement with Fielder on this matter. In response to the evidence presented in The Rehearsal shared by CNN, the agency stated that all airline pilots and crew are required to undergo personal communication training, but they have yet to see data supporting the show’s central claim that poor pilot communication is the main cause of aviation disasters. Fielder’s reaction? “That’s dumb,” he said bluntly, followed by a simple “They’re dumb.” Fielder emphasizes, as he did in the season finale of the show, that this “training” essentially consists of a PowerPoint presentation suggesting that pilots should communicate with each other.

The reality TV show, “Love Island,” introduced its first ten contestants on May 29, with more surprises expected during the series. Interestingly, it seems that “Love Island USA” tends to avoid casting individuals from the northern regions of the country. Last season, Kaylor, hailing from Pennsylvania, was the only one among the initial cast members not originating from either the southern or western parts of the United States. Here’s wishing good fortune for Austin, the lone representative from Michigan this year. Below is a list of the contestants for “Love Island USA” 2025.

Before reaching our destination, there are several intriguing elements to observe. In a departure from the typical structure of Poker Face, this time around, no prominent celebrity is targeted for demise. Instead, the victim is a classroom pet named Joseph Gerbils, a name that only Charlie finds unsettling. The murderer in this case is an exceptionally ambitious young girl named Stephanie Pearce, portrayed by Eva Jade Halford. It’s revealed that Stephanie excels remarkably at Good Hope Academy, earning countless gold stars from her teacher, Ms. Dee (Adrienne C. Moore), for her daily achievements. However, during a spelling bee, Stephanie encounters trouble when she is asked to spell “abracadabra,” a word she criticizes as non-existent. She becomes enraged, questioning the rules, “Is this anarchy? Are we barbarians?” She misspells it, allowing her rival, Elijah (Callum Vinson), a magic enthusiast, to win. This defeat ignites Stephanie’s thirst for retribution.

With Joe Mande, Adam Sandler, Sean Penn smoking a cigarette, Richard Kind as the announcer, and Saymo watching, the teenagers collaborated to bring down their towering adversary. One of them kept attempting to attack Mulaney by either flipping or mimicking the Three Stooges, which was a brilliant idea. When John hit the ground, the combined strength of the teens proved too much for a father of two. He surrendered, and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony featuring Carl Tart celebrated their victory with the song “Tha Crossroads.” If this is how Everybody’s Live concludes (and I hope it doesn’t), what an incredible way to end it. I’ll genuinely miss everyone.

With Joe Mande, Adam Sandler, Sean Penn smoking a cigarette, Richard Kind announcing, and Saymo in attendance, the teenagers teamed up to defeat their tall opponent. One of them kept trying to trip or flip Mulaney in a Three Stooges-style move, which was smart. When John gave up, the teens’ combined strength overpowered that of a father of two. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony with Carl Tart played “Tha Crossroads” to celebrate their victory. If this is how Everybody’s Live ends (and I hope it doesn’t), what an impressive finale it would be. I’ll certainly miss everyone.

On May 2, 2023, it’s claimed that an unexpected rape scene occurred. During this time, Costner requested LaBella to replace another actress for this scene without giving her a heads-up about the nature of the scene. The lawsuit explains that LaBella was not warned or prepared for actor Roger Ivens to act inappropriately towards her. It wasn’t until Ivens was already on top of her, forcibly lifting her skirt, that she realized what was happening. The call sheet reportedly indicated a different scene for LaBella and Hunt, but upon arrival at the set, Costner informed Hunt about the rape scene. However, Hunt declined to participate as there was no intimacy coordinator present, which violated her contract. Notably, an intimacy coordinator had been present during the filming of a similar sex scene the previous day.

His modest reaction to a challenging question aligns with his long-standing, relaxed personality. During his conversation with GQ, he addressed the interviewer as “bro” and stated that parts of his personal life have been under public scrutiny for over three decades. Regarding his handling of the divorce since about 2019, it seems to involve accepting the situation while acknowledging potential misunderstandings. In a GQ profile for Ad Astra and Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood, Pitt compared his relationship with fame to that of a gazelle among predators. He described it as feeling like being disconnected from the herd, losing privacy, and being hunted.

In a departure from typical genre fare, my review of “Pig” by Michael Sarnoski reveals a movie that subtly confounds assumptions. Initially, one might be fooled into thinking it’s a revenge story or a gritty hillbilly noir tale. However, those anticipating a more action-packed escapade akin to “John Wick” or “Taken,” or even the eccentric Nicolas Cage performances in films like “Mandy,” might find themselves underwhelmed. Far from fitting these descriptions, “Pig” (now streaming on Netflix) is an entirely different beast. Rather than escalating tension, it broadens its perspective and extends empathy. Paradoxically, it becomes increasingly about the very subject it initially appears to shun, eventually embracing that theme wholeheartedly.
