In contrast to the flying monkeys, Grande is alluding to the tiny tamarin from the “Something Bad” scene who uses a candle bigger than himself to create shadow puppets depicting Dillamond’s cutouts, symbolizing the mistreatment of sentient creatures in Oz. He has a mustache, an endearing old-man voice, and only utters one line: “A solicitor was dismissed for simply presenting an argument!
In simpler terms, the story revolves around Iris, who is either a newcomer in an existing group of friends, more sincere and exposed than others, with her life centered on Josh, or she might not be human at all. Josh dislikes the term “fuck-bot,” which he uses to describe Iris as she learns about her true identity. Iris is actually an “emotional support robot” designed by a company called Empathix, capable of acting like a perfect partner with customizable settings, devoted behavior, and even some fake memories to make her feel real. The show subtly hints at this in the initial scenes, making it intriguing to revisit them later on. Iris’s characteristics, such as her unwavering gaze, carrying luggage, and intense focus on Josh, are not due to emotions but rather her design, programming, and expected servitude. The times when Josh tells her to wake up or go to sleep are not expressions of love but commands given to a device. The show isn’t explicitly obvious about Iris’s identity, but it cleverly sets up the story in such a way that these initial scenes become more significant as the story unfolds.
In the present, Palmer is enthusiastically showcasing her latest movie titled “One of Them Days“. This film features her portraying Dreux, a hardworking Los Angeles resident who’s trying to climb up the ladder in both work and life, despite facing obstacles from oppressive systems. Interestingly, this role seems reminiscent of characters she has played before, especially during her days as a child star in “Akeelah and the Bee” and “9 to 5“. Palmer’s on-screen charm and ability to connect with viewers makes her the ideal choice for roles that require genuine, everyday relatability.
To fully appreciate a show like “Prime Target,” you’ll need to cultivate a palate that can savor the complex, seemingly nonsensical jargon characteristic of airport conspiracy thrillers. This genre has two main categories: STEM-based, with shows like “The Number 23” or “Pi,” and humanities-oriented, featuring works such as “The Da Vinci Code,” “National Treasure,” and the late “The Lost Symbol.” Both types incorporate a wealth of factual details to make viewers feel knowledgeable, then layer on excessive drama and conspiracy theories.
In “Prime Target,” the idea that prime numbers are crucial for computer passwords is expanded into a scenario where governments and shadowy organizations employ spies to monitor thinkers who might uncover dangerous mathematical truths, and eliminate them when they do. The show predominantly falls within the STEM realm, but it also incorporates historical references; the monitoring program is named Syracuse, after Archimedes’ innovations, and the storyline of prime numbers is intertwined with an archaeological dig in Iraq, which primarily serves as a vehicle for Sidse Babett Knudsen (from “Borgen”) to frequently say the word “Baghdad.
It’s not a new occurrence that Brown has found himself embroiled in a lawsuit related to a rape accusation. Back in 2019, he initiated a legal action against a woman in Paris who claimed he had raped her. Previously, he declared her allegations as being inconsistent with his personal character and moral values.
As a devoted cinema enthusiast, I’d say that crafting a Wolf Man movie for Universal Pictures requires just two essential elements: a werewolf transformation and a complex familial bond, particularly daddy issues. This concept dates back to the 1941 classic, The Wolf Man, which marked the debut of the iconic lycanthrope within the Universal monsters canon. Lon Chaney Jr., portraying Larry Talbot, reunites with his long-absent father, portrayed by Claude Rains, when he journeys back to Wales to lay his brother to rest.
In a 2010 remake titled The Wolfman, Benicio del Toro and Anthony Hopkins stepped into the roles of Lawrence and Sir John Talbot, respectively. Their portrayal emphasized Lawrence as the estranged son, who had been driven away from home due to his haunting memories of his mother’s demise. Upon returning home, Lawrence is bitten by a werewolf, and his father—at first—protects him from the townspeople intent on slaying the monster.
In both movies, the younger Talbot’s life takes a dark turn after being bitten, with his father initially shielding him from the mob, despite their strained relationship.
As a devoted film lover, I’ve always maintained that these shows aren’t designed for tackling deep, heavy topics head-on. Don’t get me wrong – there have been moments when the series has shown remarkable depth, like when Erin courageously shared her abortion experience earlier in the season (which almost won my admiration). We’ve also delved into tough issues such as Taylor Armstrong’s abuse and her husband’s tragic suicide, several Housewives being arrested for fraud, and that harrowing incident involving Shannon Beador and the enema. These subjects were undeniably challenging, yet we pressed on.
However, now we find ourselves embroiled in a legal dispute regarding Ubah’s knowledge of Brynn’s sexual assault, which inevitably leads to speculation about what Brynn is going through as people question the validity of that assault. This isn’t just testing our limits; it’s delving into territory that makes for uncomfortable viewing.
The fact that the project isn’t entirely new doesn’t change the fact that it has been in development since 2022. According to THR, if talks with Ryan Gosling result in a deal, it might begin filming this fall. Let’s hope we learn more about the movie’s plot and cast members soon! We’ll keep you posted as additional details become available, but for now, we can only speculate based on Gosling’s reported interest.
Essentially, their main response was anger because Kyle Richards’ show is indeed what it is. This fact became particularly evident in the aftermath of her dramatic exit from Boz’s Sisterhood Serenity (Girls and Gays Never Forget All White Seafood) Soiree. After all, she’s been there since the beginning, and she’s made numerous personal sacrifices for our entertainment: compromising her privacy, straining relationships with her sisters, enduring challenges in her marriage, dealing with Faye Resnick, and even attempting to create drama among the other women or (awkwardly) confronting Denise Richards about an affair that arguably should not have been aired on the show. While I’m not suggesting she’s perfect or even a saint, it’s undeniable that this is her show.
Due to an urgent plea from actress Jean Smart on Instagram asking networks airing the Academy Awards to donate their earnings to fire victims and firefighters instead, some traditional pre-Oscars events have been affected by the tragedy. The Academy postponed announcing this year’s nominees twice (now scheduled for a virtual announcement on January 23) and canceled its lavish luncheon in part to aid relief efforts and recognize frontline workers. The Screen Actors Guild Awards called off their live nominations announcement, BAFTA canceled their Tea Party event, which is usually schmoozy and campaign-oriented, and the Critics Choice Awards rescheduled their broadcast date twice, now set for February 7.
