Did We Learn Anything in Hulu’s Amanda Knox Series?

by

The case is well-known due to its sensational details: On November 1, 2007, Meredith Kercher, a 21-year-old student from Leeds, England, was found dead in the apartment she shared with others. Her roommate, Amanda Knox, became suspicious when she returned home on November 2 after spending the night with her boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, who was a local Italian. When she arrived, she saw blood stains, a broken window, and Kercher’s room was locked. Thinking it might just be a burglary, she contacted the police, who discovered Kercher’s body and a disturbing crime scene. The recent Hulu series, which concluded on October 1, presents the story from Knox’s viewpoint, even using elements of magical realism to illustrate how surreal those years were for her. Initially, both Sollecito and Knox were found guilty of involvement in the murder and received a 25-year prison sentence. However, after serving only four years, their convictions were overturned, and they were released.

The Kimmel Resistance Comes to Fort Greene

by

Inside, a DJ played classic Motown songs while VIP guests enjoyed Nathan’s hot dogs and negronis. Large screens showed video clips, including Jimmy wearing a Sia wig, Jimmy and Bill Murray canoeing in Newtown Creek, and Jimmy’s head popping out of a toilet in a funny public service announcement for the Department of Environmental Protection. Later, Don Barris, a seasoned comedian with a distinctive mustache, warmed up the crowd with a few rounds of applause. It became clear that the best way to get the Brooklyn audience excited was to make the event feel like a small political rally, mentioning “a little thing now with the president.” However, the only thing being launched like projectiles was T-shirts.

Prince William Very Cool and Normal Guy According to Eugene Levy

by

Perhaps this wasn’t a meticulously planned public relations campaign designed solely to show that William is a relatable person prepared to gradually modernize the monarchy while respecting tradition! However, if that *was* the intention, would anything in this interview actually need to be different? Let’s think about it.

Mark Ruffalo Hilariously Explains Why Not Included In The Avengers: Doomsday Cast Announcement

by

Few of the original Avengers are left in the MCU, but Ruffalo’s Hulk is one, so not having him in the next Avengers movie is kind of a big deal. In a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the host asked Ruffalo about the fact that he’s apparently not in the movie, and the actor joked that it was because of his tendency to accidentally reveal spoilers. The actor said…

Will Netflix Book a Return to ‘Wayward’ for Season 2?

by

All eight episodes of Wayward are now available, and the series centers on the strange happenings at Tall Pines Academy in Vermont. This school, run by a manipulative woman named Evelyn (Toni Collette), is meant to help troubled teens get back on track. However, Wayward feels directionless and doesn’t bring anything fresh to the mystery-thriller genre. Though that hasn’t prevented Netflix from continuing popular shows in the past, it’s reasonable to question whether Wayward has enough story left to justify another season.

Famous Horror Movies That Got Bad Reviews

by

If you search for new horror movies online-for example, by Googling phrases like “best horror films” or “most famous horror films”-and then check those results against review aggregators like Metacritic or Rotten Tomatoes, you’ll notice something interesting: many of the most popular and widely-seen horror movies ever made actually received poor reviews from critics. We’re not just talking about low-budget films like your Troll 2s. These are movies that became huge franchises, continuing to generate sequels, spin-offs, and television series even today.

Puzzled by “Gourds carved with glee” in Cookie Jam? Let’s answer it

by

Let’s tackle this question by figuring out two things. First, what do we mean by a ‘guard’? It’s a kind of fruit – generally big and with thick, tough skin. Does that give you a hint? If not, consider the word “glee,” which simply means “happiness.” So, we’re looking for a large fruit with a hard outer layer that people enjoy carving…

Conan O’Brien Behind The Late Show Desk Won Late Night This Week

by

It’s understandable why late-night hosts are sticking together. More information about Kimmel’s short suspension came out during a meeting between Kimmel and Colbert. Interestingly, James Taylor sent both of them very kind notes – perhaps the same note to each, but thoughtful either way. And on The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast this week, we found out that Meyers received a text from Kimmel immediately after wrapping up a session with the Las Cultch group. That must have been overwhelming. So, yes, the late-night guys connected this week with the only other people who truly understand what it’s like. It made for compelling television.
