At the beginning of the series, we learn of his dream to be the next Fred Astaire. With all of Fred's talent, Bob appears bereft of a quality repeatedly noted but never fleshed out, that thing that makes someone a star. Whether it's agreeableness, charisma, some combination, or something else altogether, Bob can't grab hold of what lies beyond himself. So, he's forever left settling-for Oscars, Tonys, and Golden Globes. In conjunction, they reflect back to him the person he'll never be.
So it got me thinking about all the other people who host "watch parties" and invite friends over for a big game. So naturally, instead of wanting to talk about sports, I just want to hear about the drama surrounding your sports social gatherings. So tell me... Do any of you have a disasterous "watch party" story to share? Did someone try to propose during the halftime show and get rejected
He clicked on a video. A girl was sitting in an adult bed, a child's picture book beside her. Squire watched as a man came into the frame and began reading it to her. For a moment, it could have been a normal scene maybe it would be until the man proceeded to remove the girl's clothing. Then he raped her. Squire watched her endure it it looked like her soul left, he says.
Gina Carano, whose acting career was largely derailed after a series of inflammatory social media posts led to her termination from The Mandaldorian in 2021, is returning to combat sports. On Saturday, May 16th, Carano will face Ronda Rousey in an MMA bout at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, streaming live on Netflix. The matchup is being billed as Netflix's first live MMA event.
Although the works of Gilbert and Sullivan have gained a reputation for being chummy, collegiate and a little pompous, For He is an Englishman is in fact a bitingly satirical piece of faux-patriotism. Although it sounds like something to be bellowed by tipsy Last Night of the Proms poshos, the song speaks to the kind of blind nationalism that bases exceptionalism purely on the location of one's birth.
With only a few months left before release, we finally have a detailed trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu, the silver-screen spinoff of the show that launched Disney+. From the looks of it, it was worth the wait. There's something for every fan here: unmasked Din Djarin, Grogu being a scamp, an Ardennian shopkeeper almost certainly voiced by Martin Scorsese, and a Hutt speaking Basic.
'What we often see with this Flat Earth movement is a fundamental failure to really understand the model that they're rejecting. 'I think what a lot of Flat Earthers don't understand is how gravity actually works.' In our day-to-day lives, it might look like gravity is a force that simply pulls things 'down', but this is only because we are so small relative to the size of the Earth.
At the point at which we have wireless connections for headphones, computers, and countless other gizmos, could we imagine some future date in which the tech of EVA suits might be replaced with something a little less analog? In 1973, in the first episode of Star Trek: The Animated Series - "Beyond the Farthest Star" - the crew of the USS Enterprise rocked something called "Life Support Belts" instead of straight-up spacesuits.
Long before that, the biggest drama in the world was House, which was set in a hospital but featured a mercurial genius solving baffling mysteries once the House-Home-Holmes penny dropped, you knew you were watching Sherlock in disguise. Watson is the latest attempt by US network television to keep the Conan Doyle canon firing, and it's a straight cross between House and Elementary.
About halfway through "Dear Henry," Whitney Halberstram hits his lowest ebb. Thanks to Harper's explosive remarks at the ALPHA Conference, Tender's stock price is cratering. Hayley - who turns out to be a hooker who does secretarial admin on the side and not an executive assistant who occasionally threesomes - is extorting him for $750,000. Henry is AWOL. Not even Jonah will break from putting notes in strippers' G-strings to take his call for old time's sake.
The clip begins with the Aussie icon and staunch LGBTQ+ ally being driven through the Italian countryside in a motorcycle sidecar, her hair flowing in the wind, with the driver decked out in black leathers. She is dropped off outside the Masseria and the motorcyclist removes their helmet to reveal themselves as Marlowe. "Ta-ra, love!" Marlowe tells Minogue. "Ciao, Bella," Minogue replies, with a wave of her hand.

If you're up to speed on modern TV tech, then you might know the difference between OLED and QLED, and perhaps how Mini-LED fits into the ecosystem of television research and development.

AMC Dark Winds, based on the Leaphorn and Chee novels by Tony Hillerman, is the 1970s-set story of Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon), a Navajo Nation police officer, and his sidekicks Bernadette Manuelito (Jessica Matten) and Jim Chee (Kiowa Gordon.) Over the first three seasons, we've seen them face off against crooked mining magnates, zealous cults, and border patrol conspiracies. (You can catch up on the first three seasons on Netflix.)

The King of Collectibles has been collecting since his first trip to Fenway Park at age 12. "I'm 60. In my 48 years of collecting, I have never known of or seen - outside of the Metropolitan Museum of Art - a Honus Wagner card like this. Until now," Ken Goldin, star of Netflix's "King of Collectibles: The Goldin Touch," tells me in a recent phone interview.
