Over the past fortnight, a flurry of rumors, speculation, and criticism have swirled around the upcoming film “It Ends With Us.” As its release date on the 2024 movie calendar approaches, various reports about the supposed disagreements between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni and accusations concerning the film’s portrayal and marketing of domestic violence have spread rapidly. Now, one of the film’s actors, Brandon Sklenar, has issued a statement clarifying the situation.

For many people, the long-cherished dream of visiting Disney World often remains just that – a dream. However, reality can sometimes take a dark turn when fans finally reach their vacation destination. Regrettably, a visit to Disney World in Orlando turned fatal in 2023, as a woman lost her life after dining at one of the property’s restaurants. The victim’s husband has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the company, and Disney+ is now part of the legal proceedings, with the corporation choosing not to participate in arbitration.

Occasionally, certain topics on the web gain popularity multiple times. Recently, the tidbit that’s been making waves again is the fact that Catherine O’Hara, famously known as Kevin McCallister’s mom in the classic ’90s film “Home Alone”, was only 36 years old when she portrayed the character. It’s not the first time this piece of trivia has trended online, but it’s the first time I find myself truly astonished by it.

In the expansive universe of Star Trek, there are several memorable extraterrestrial beings that have left their mark. Among them are the Vulcans with pointed ears and the Klingons, who have evolved over time, and it’s not hard to identify which species hail from Gene Roddenberry’s multiverse. One particularly striking race is the Orions – aliens with a green hue that first appeared in “The Cage,” the pilot episode of “Star Trek: The Original Series.” This episode also marked Captain Pike’s tragic fate. Susan Oliver was the pioneer who brought the Orion species to life, creating an indelible impression for viewers embarking on the five-year mission. In a later episode, “Whom Gods Destroy” (Season 3, Episode 14), Yvonne Craig took up the mantle of going green, but the challenge turned challenging and even risky when no one could recall the original method for achieving this transformation.
