In physics, the three-body problem is ugly. When you have one or two objects exerting gravity on a body, it moves in a predictable pattern. Add a third and its chaos.
In 2024, the three-body problem in media is that every piece of art has a creator, a consumer and politics. So when Netflix’s sci-fi series 3 Body Problem debuted on March 21, anti-woke crusaders such as VCs Marc Andreessen and Andrew Chen only made it one scene in before posting that it was a cri de coeur to end the far-left agenda. Two days after the show dropped, Chen, a Vc at a16z, posted on X, “The opening scene just punches you in the face. Irl cancel culture driven by high school and college students. Science and academia becoming politicized. Tearing down the past. Etc.” A day later, his boss Andreessen posted similar thoughts.

DC superhero Batman has been the subject of many popular shows and movies, one of them being Bruce Timm and Paul Dini’s Batman: The Animated series. This adaptation has solidified its place as one of the most iconic portrayals of the Dark Knight and his array of supervillains on television, garnering multiple Emmy Awards.

And the series has also delved into darker themes, one of which occurred in the tenth episode of Season 1, Nothing to Fear. The episode features Scarecrow who forces Bruce Wayne to confront the haunting vision of his deceased parents.

A24 has a reputation as one of the coolest indie movie “brands” today.
Through dozens of films, they have established themselves as arbiters of extremely good taste, maintaining relationships with their favorite filmmakers while taking big swings on new talent. They have also shown themselves to be crack marketers of their own product (how many boutique film studios inspire young fans to sweat sweatshirts emblazoned with their logo?)
This brand awareness is quite powerful. Younger filmgoers know an A24 movie when they see them; and they go see movies because the studio is behind them. This knowingness, a contract between the studio and the audience, extends to A24’s horror output, which is even more easily identifiable. “It’s an A24 horror movie,” you’ll say. And whoever you’re talking to will know exactly what you mean. Maybe it’s a little folksy, maybe it’s a little techy,...

Actors beloved for a long-running television role carry a funny kind of baggage with them. It didn't matter where Andy Griffth showed up in TV or film, the shadow of amiable Sheriff Andrew Jackson "Andy" Taylor and, during the actor's twilight years, the irascible defense attorney Ben Matlock always hung heavily over his head. Likewise, for all of Angela Lansbury's many, many accomplishments performing on the stage and screen, certain people could only ever look at her and see their favorite cardigan-loving author-sleuth, Jessica Fletcher.
Lucille Désirée Ball was firmly cognizant of just how strongly the masses identified her with her incorrigible onscreen counterpart, Lucille Esmeralda "Lucy" McGillicuddy Ricardo, from "I Love Lucy," having played the iconic trouble-maker across the series' 180 episodes in the 1950s. This was also the main factor that led to her passing on another classic sitcom, "Cheers," decades later.

Every new year that comes brings us a crop of horror movies that blow us away. They (hopefully) break the mould and provide us with scares that we haven’t felt in years. Then there are the other types. Given that the sentiment on Twitter seems to be that Worst of Lists aren’t always necessary, we’ve decided to limit this list to movies we feel fail on almost every conceivable level (which is why you won’t see Exorcist Believer on this list). And since we don’t like to be Entirely negative, we’ll be sure to throw in a silver lining for each film: a little bit of good amongst the bad. So grab your beverage of choice, and let’s throw some films under the bus as we get into the Worst Horror Movies of 2023.

Glen Powell is only 35 years old, but he’s been around the movie business since he was 10, with his first credit coming as a 14-year-old in “Spy Kids 3D: Game Over” as Long-Fingered Boy. That means, even though he’s only been a part of Hollywood’s A-List for the past few years, he has a much longer filmography to his name — and he’s confident in naming his favorite film experience to date. No, it’s not playing Long-Fingered Boy.
“I’m just trying to make movies that I’d want to see, and I think ‘Everybody Wants Some!!’ will be my favorite movie I’ve ever made in my whole life,” the actor told Vogue in a new interview. “There’s not going to be a more charmed, lovely experience. When that movie ended, I sobbed as I was shaving off my thin mustache.”

For 11 seasons, "Cheers" (1982-1993) was, as NBC put it back then, "must-see TV." For five of those seasons, we watched Sam Malone (Ted Danson) and Diane Chambers (Shelley Long) and their on-again-off-again relationship in a Boston bar. When Long left for a movie career, Kirstie Alley was hired as the female lead, Rebecca Howe. She was a business woman who was brought in to manage the bar after a corporation buys it, and Sam, lothario that he was, hits on her constantly.
As the show went on, Rebecca went from a put-together woman with a penchant for rich men to a neurotic and decidedly annoying woman. (I watched it as it happened and I just couldn't stand her character.) She was funny, sure, and they definitely leaned into her falling apart, but it was ... a lot. It also led the show to its very first Emmy Award in 1989. It was...

New York, Aug 2 (Ians) A team of US scientists have, in a major breakthrough, developed a novel cancer-stopping pill that can annihilate all solid tumours.
The pill, named AOH1996, has shown to be effective in pre-clinical research treating cells derived from breast, prostate, brain, ovarian, cervical, skin, and lung cancers.
Developed by a team at City of Hope in California, US, AOH1996 was named after Anna Olivia Healy, who was born in 1996 and died when she was just nine-years-old after being diagnosed with a rare childhood cancer neuroblastoma.
According to Linda Malkas, Professor in City of Hope’s Department of Molecular Diagnostics and Experimental Therapeutics, most targeted therapies focus on a single pathway, which enables wily cancer to mutate and eventually become resistant.
However, the cancer-killing pill that Malkas has been developing over the past two decades, attacks a protein called proliferating cell nuclear antigen (Pcna), which encourages tumours to...

Since breaking into Hollywood in 1999, Michael Cera has made a name for himself with roles in "Arrested Development," "Superbad," and "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World." The actor also won everyone over with his recent performance of Allan in Greta Gerwig's "Barbie." Despite being a huge star, Cera prefers to keep a low profile when it comes to his personal life. Although we know Cera is married to a woman named Nadine, we don't know much about their relationship. Details about Cera's wife, like her last name, also remain a mystery.
In fact, the couple is so low-key that they kept the birth of their first child a secret for months. Fans first became aware of their baby in March 2022 after Cera's "Life & Beth" costar, Amy Schumer, accidentally let it slip in their joint interview with Entertainment Tonight. While talking about her son, Gene, Schumer noted, "Michael has a baby,...

With “Cheers” reaching its 30th anniversary since the series finale — and with a revival of its popular spinoff, “Frasier,” expected later this year — it was time for the Atx Television Festival to do what it does best: host a reunion. Stars Ted Danson, George Wendt, and John Ratzenberger sat down with co-creators James Burrows, Len, and Glen Charles for an hourlong discussion about the impact of NBC’s landmark series.
Danson, every bit as thoughtful and tender as his “Cheers” character Sam Malone was single-minded and unrefined, made sure to honor who wasn’t in attendance, as well as those who made the trip to Austin, TX for Friday night’s panel. Initially, he credited co-star Shelley Long for getting him the career-making role in the first place.
“I don’t think we’ve seen a character like that since Lucille Ball,” he said of Long’s ebullient lead, Diane Chambers.

Thirty years after “Cheers” came to an end, the cast and creatives got back together on Friday night, courtesy of the Atx TV Festival in Austin, Texas. The reunion panel, hosted by Variety‘s Michael Schneider, included co-creators James Burrows, Les Charles and Glen Charles and actors Ted Danson, George Wendt and John Ratzenberger.
During the conversation, the iconic creators reflected on the making of the show and the cast opened up about how they joined the series and how it’s affected their lives over the years.
“Teddy and Shelly auditioned together and they had chemistry that only makes writing better,” Burrows said of casting Danson and Shelley Long, who portrayed Diane Chambers, Sam’s love interest for five seasons.
For Danson, he praised Long, who wasn’t in attendance: “I don’t think we’d seen a character like that since Lucille Ball. I do believe I was on ‘Cheers’ because of Shelley,...

Kate Bosworth and Justin Long are celebrating the latter’s birthday by making more than one of his dreams come true.
The newlyweds embarked on a wildlife adventure in Ecuador to explore the Galápagos Islands — a volcanic archipelago in the Pacific Ocean — which Long’s dreamt of visiting ever since he was a little boy.
“Ever since we met, I have heard you say two words, many, many times: Galápagos Islands…Watching you experience your childhood dream these last few weeks has been the greatest honor,” Bosworth captioned a series of photos of the loved-up couple surrounded by nature, including two snapshots of them kissing.

Buckle up, Manifest Fanatics, because we're in for a wild ride to the finish line.
Manifest Season 4 Episode 11 set the wheels in motion for the final descent in an interesting fashion, but it took about half the episode for things to kick into high gear.
Manifest delivers stellar cliffhangers, but damn, I did not expect Captain Daly to resurface so soon -- or ever, to be honest.
In the name of bringing things full circle, "The Final Descent" featured many callbacks to past episodes, making it feel like everything we've witnessed on the series so far will come back into play before we reach the final scene.
Captain Daly's return was undoubtedly a shocker because it highlighted that while Vance and Saanvi may be connected, the government is hiding plenty from them.
The big surprise is how Vance is allowed to be a part of the search and care for...

It's only been a few weeks since Kate Bosworth and Justin Long confirmed their engagement, but it appears the couple have already tied the knot. During the May 9 episode of Long's "Life Is Short" podcast (where the engagement news was officially announced), the "Barbarian" actor casually referred to Bosworth as his "now-wife" while he recalled filming the 2022 horror flick in Bulgaria.
"I was there while I was like really falling in love with my now-wife," said Long, seemingly confirming the two have wed. "And she came to visit, and I had never been comfortable with . . . set visits, I was never crazy about. I liked separating the relationship, but I loved having her there, and we just had the most magical time."
Then on May 31, People reported via sources that Long and Bosworth secretly married in a spur-of-the-moment wedding ceremony not long after their engagement - which, according to Page Six,...
