The first four minutes of Pluribus depict the initial outbreak and spread of an unusual virus. While the show deliberately keeps many specifics about the virus vague, it provides enough hints to spark viewers’ curiosity and encourage speculation.
Cameron challenged his actors with demanding underwater training for The Way of Water, but he also made sure they were well-supported. The Disney+ documentary Fire and Water: The Making of the Avatar Films shows how stars like Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, and Sigourney Weaver learned to scuba dive and hold their breath in tanks. Once they became comfortable, Cameron increased the difficulty of the training.
The new Apple TV sci-fi show explores the beginnings and spread of a mysterious “virus,” but doesn’t explain why it exists or who created it. In the first two episodes of Pluribus, the main character, Carol, tries to make sense of the changed world and adjust to life as it is now.
Each episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation famously started with Captain Jean-Luc Picard, played by Patrick Stewart, delivering the iconic opening lines: “Space, the final frontier… These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise…”
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is a classic work of English literature and a landmark achievement in science fiction, often considered one of the most heartbreaking stories ever written. It delves into the dangers of unchecked scientific ambition and the devastating effects of loneliness, themes that still resonate today. Guillermo del Toro’s film adaptation thoughtfully reimagines Shelley’s novel, and one of its greatest strengths is a more compelling and sympathetic portrayal of the Creature, making him both more powerful and more relatable.
Rami Malek plays Dr. Douglas Kelley, the lead psychiatrist tasked with evaluating whether German prisoners are mentally fit to be tried. He finds himself in a battle of intellect with Hermann Göring, Adolf Hitler’s close associate. In a review of Nuremberg, Hugh Scott from TopMob notes that while the film’s second half is appropriately serious, the first half relies too much on quick, out-of-place humor. He awards the movie 2 out of 5 stars, stating:
I was really impressed with Yvonne Ritter’s first major role – she played Lady Vengeance (also known as Mia La Pierre) in the first season of Dexter: Resurrection. She was instantly captivating; she brought this really charming but creepy energy to the show that just worked. Sadly, her character didn’t last. She was killed in prison, but it wasn’t a straightforward death. It was made to look like suicide, all orchestrated by a guard who was paid off. The whole thing was a cover-up – Leon Prater (played by Peter Dinklage) didn’t want her revealing his secret society of serial killers.
It’s rare for a martial arts movie sequel to be better than the original. This is true for popular franchises like Bloodsport, Ip Man, The Karate Kid, Ong-Bak, and The 36th Chamber of Shaolin. While some sequels are good, fans usually prefer the first movie in the series.
Timothée Chalamet recently told Vogue he doesn’t plan to return to television. While he got his start with a recurring role on the show Homeland—appearing in 8 episodes—and has since hosted Saturday Night Live and voiced a character in the animated Netflix series Entergalactic, he hasn’t had a major TV role since 2012. He made this clear in an interview discussing his career for Vogue’s cover story.
Ever since Will Byers was taken to the Upside Down in the first season of Stranger Things, he’s been deeply connected to it. Because the Upside Down appears as Hawkins did when Will first arrived, some viewers think Will might unknowingly have the ability to alter the dimension. They believe he accidentally transformed it into a reflection of his hometown while trying to escape the demogorgon. This leads some to speculate that the main villain of the show is connected to Will’s powers. Fans have been discussing this idea for three years, and recent shots in the new trailer seem to provide some evidence supporting it.
