Stuffed into a shoebox, seized by the FBI: the amazing fates of Hollywood’s greatest dresses | Film

Kim Kardashian is no stranger to a fleeting moment becoming a viral news story. But her recent appearance at the Met Gala, wearing the dress that Marilyn Monroe wore to sing Happy Birthday to President John Kennedy in 1962, proved particularly divisive, with the 41-year-old outraging costume buffs for sporting what is considered by many to be a museum exhibit rather than a dress.Designed by Jean Louis, based on a sketch by a young Bob Mackie, the dress has more than 2,000 crystals hand-stitched into souffle silk, a fabric…

Movie Buffs Aim to Determine the Greatest Twist in Cinema History

via Paramount When handled correctly, a shocking twist is unquestionably one of the most effective things in cinema. On the other hand, when it’s either signposted from a mile away or arrives without any buildup to act as a shock just for the sake of it, then audiences are only going to be left rolling their eyes. Very few features have managed to pull off narrative sleight of hand that’s been effective and popular enough to go down as truly iconic, but that doesn’t mean some deep cuts aren’t being thrown into…

New ‘Love and Thunder’ Trailer Teases the Greatest MCU Showdown

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tps://youtu.be/S5bVvAHLUYY We’re now officially seven days away from Thor: Love and Thunder‘s long-anticipated premiere in theaters, and to acknowledge it, Marvel Studios has decided to release the movie’s most chill-inducing, blood-pumping, and hype-fuelling trailer to date. Until this point, most of the marketing campaign has been highlighting the wackiness of Taika Waititi’s sequel, with each consequent trailer reinforcing the idea that Love and Thunder is going to be the funniest…

The Greatest Recession Story Ever Told: Bitcoin vs. Gold

Inflation. Recession. And, one question. Actually, two. Have you decided already? Where are you going to invest (save) your money? If you have any, to begin with. This dilemma doesn’t concern only your personal finances, but the future of finance of the whole world. Or, what’s going to be left of it.In one of my previous stories, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Bitcoin & Canned Tuna, I honestly, and one may say naively, expected to get the answers to these costly questions from the “Daddy of Investment” himself (in case you…

Guns N’ Roses – their 20 greatest songs, ranked! | Guns N’ Roses

20 Shadow of Your Love (1987)Recorded in 1986 and released a year later, this speed metal gem was released as the B-side of the 12in version of It’s So Easy/Mr Brownstone before being lost to antiquity for 31 years. When it resurfaced in 2018, it was still every bit the raspy-voiced hellraiser of yore. The incomprehensible rants, barked hook and ear-splitting solo all make this a slice of classic GnR.19 So Fine (1992)The Use Your Illusion duology was the sound of GnR trying to shed their anarchic hair metal origins and do…

The World Is Convinced ‘Barbie’ Will Be the Greatest Movie of All Time

Let’s face it, superheroes have peaked. We’ve been inundated with cape movies for too long, and audiences are crying out for something new. Well, it looks like the world has found the next big thing, as shots from the set of Barbie are lighting the internet on fire. This adaptation of Mattel’s iconic doll has been picking up a ton of hype ever since Margot Robbie was confirmed for the lead role, but things really exploded when Ryan Gosling was cast as Ken. Now, excitement is approaching fever pitch as some truly…

‘KHAAAAN!’: why Wrath of Khan remains the greatest Star Trek movie, 40 years on | Film

When JJ Abrams began rebooting Star Trek with a fresh cast and crew of the Enterprise in 2009, many hardcore Trekkers complained that the new movies lacked the Apollo-era optimism and vision of space adventure as one giant cosmic morality tale that, in their view, had made the long-running saga stand out from its peers. Gone were slow-paced allegories playing on contemporary western culture, its triumphs and its horrors. In were hectic space battles, time travel, a strange obsession with motorbikes and plenty of…

Thor: Love and Thunder trailer shows Chris Hemsworth’s ‘greatest team ever’

Marvel Studios dropped the final trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder that will be arriving in theatres in July. The latest trailer features Chris Hemsworth’s titular superhero Thor Odinson, or simply Thor, putting together ‘the greatest team ever’ to fight against Gorr, the God Butcher, played by actor Christian Bale. The almost one-minute-and-a-half-long trailer gave some fresh visuals of the powerful villain Gorr, who has a sword capable of destroying entire planets, and battles the God of Thunder, Thor.

Paul McCartney’s greatest post-Beatles songs – ranked! | Paul McCartney

30. Paul McCartney – Secret Friend (1980)McCartney’s penchant for the musical avant garde dates back to the mid-60s (before John Lennon’s, as he’s often keen to point out). You didn’t hear much from leftfield Macca in the 70s, but he reappeared on Secret Friend, an outtake from McCartney II that sounds, extraordinarily, like abstract, ageless, Balearic techno 10 years early.29. Wings – Listen to What the Man Said (1975)You can see why the cheery thumbs-aloft philosophising and perky soprano sax of Listen to What the Man…

The Rolling Stones review – world’s greatest rockers are still a gas, gas, gas | The Rolling Stones

Mick Jagger recently said rock’n’roll “isn’t supposed to be done in your 70s”, but he seems determined to prove this wrong. While Abba have returned as digital avatars of their young selves, the Stones’ frontman is his own living, breathing Jagger-tar. He turns 79 next month and has a replacement heart valve but sustains the stage energy of someone several decades younger. Alongside him, fellow grinning septuagenarians Keith Richards (78) and Ron Wood (75) sway elegantly like ancient trees in a breeze, playing their…
