She remarks, “Regardless of whether it was contentious or not, what matters is… If we’re aiming to portray the whole spectrum of history, then that aspect needs to be included. Regrettably, incidents like rape and misuse of power exist in our reality as well as in distant galaxies. It’s disheartening, but it’s crucial.
In a grimy NYC jail uniform, olive-green in color, Elsbeth finds comfort from Captain Wagner and Kaya as she cries about her troubled state over the last few months. It’s natural to grieve, but dwelling on irreversible regrets and despair isn’t helpful at this time. To continue battling this war, she needs to recall her identity and beliefs. The atmosphere here seems reminiscent of post-2024 presidential elections, and the character of Elsbeth is clearly part of our contemporary political landscape. Agent Wes McCarthy (Ben Horner) even states that his probe into Crown Prince Wilhelm von Hofer’s murder takes priority over the events in Greenland.
Amidst casual conversation late at night, Lively subtly brought up her past year, hinting at her ongoing legal disagreement with her co-star and director from “It Ends With Us”, Baldoni. During this discussion with Meyers, she shared that her year had encompassed the greatest joys and deepest sorrows of her life. She expressed concern about many women who are afraid to speak up, particularly at this moment, fearful of sharing their experiences. Lively acknowledged that fear is intentionally instilled to keep us quiet, but also recognized that not everyone has the opportunity to speak out. Despite feeling fortunate for being able to do so, she emphasized that it’s women who have had the ability to use their voice that have given her strength and encouraged her in her pursuit of a safer world for women and girls. She concluded by stating that standing up for oneself is a basic necessity.
The atmosphere at the midnight showing in Cannes was exceptionally charged, as the audience hollered and roared even before the movie started. They were clearly ecstatic, fittingly so, upon seeing Nicolas Cage, who seemed equally excited walking into the Lumiere for the debut of “The Surfer“, a delightfully eccentric, sun-scorched blend of psychological thriller and dark comedy. The story revolves around a man who is obsessed with surfing and is willing to sacrifice everything to pursue it.
Additionally, I’d like to give a shoutout to John Lutz for his latest “Product Tester” skit on Late Night With Seth Meyers. His presentation perfectly illustrates the role of a critic. After consuming so much of one product, in this case pour-over coffee makers, that it becomes distasteful – a point where you couldn’t possibly judge if any specific version is good or bad. Yet, despite that, opinions and favorites emerge, and when those favorites are taken away, it can cause quite a reaction…or your “sweetness,” to keep things polite. So here are the top pour-over coffee makers of the week, symbolically speaking.
Three nights later, Fey declared at the Netflix-run Paris Theater in New York, with Alda present, that his film would be available on the streaming platform alongside her show on May 5th. This announcement was confirmed by both Netflix and Alda’s team to Vulture. Exciting news for fans of the beloved divorce romantic comedy, old and new! “Are we having fun yet?
The delight in the growing ‘A Simple Favor’ series mainly comes from two factors: your willingness to accept unpredictable plot developments and your admiration for Blake Lively in stylish attire. Paul Feig’s 2018 film adaptation of the same-named novel leans heavily on Lively’s daring fashion choices and the captivating (at times lesbian-leaning) dynamic between her and co-star Anna Kendrick. The storyline, a beach read thriller where Lively’s character Emily pretends to be dead by murdering her secret twin sister, forcing Kendrick’s character Stephanie, a mommy vlogger, to investigate, can be seen as a lighter (and more gay!) version of ‘Gone Girl’. While some plot twists might be tough to digest, the strong cast and Jessica Sharzer’s witty script make it all go down smoothly.
Nine-year-old Dylan Gatlin is a thrill-seeker with a passion for camping. However, an unfortunate accident led to a broken arm, and further tests revealed a more distressing issue: a cavernous angioma in her brain stem, a cluster of benign brain cells that could potentially end her life within five to ten years. The only treatment available is a risky surgery that leaves even the skilled Amelia Shepherd, known for her miraculous work at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, uneasy. It’s evident that this situation has Amelia feeling less inclined to play surgical roulette.
However, Kristen Kish emphasizes to Tristen at the judges’ table, even though she struggles to hold back tears, this real-life competition show is truly a reflection of everyday life. It’s called “reality” for a reason, and despite thinking you understand its patterns and your role within it, there are times when the unexpected can still catch you off guard.
Initially, Deborah’s ratings were exceptional, but she has slipped to fourth position lately. The network is organizing a focus group to address this problem. Deborah seems puzzled by compliments from Gen-Z, while praise from her older male peer about abandoning the desk to show off her legs doesn’t need an explanation. This situation is quite typical for a focus group discussion, where viewers tend to point out minor and often unimportant aspects. Interestingly, this episode appears to highlight that regular people (those not in the industry) can be just as predictable as professionals imagine them to be.
