Nearly 40 years following Steven Spielberg’s The Color Purple became an 11-time Academy Award-nominated film, Hollywood is revisiting the Pulitzer Prize-winning story once again with the new 2023 reimagining. Ahead of the story moving audiences in movie theaters, one of The Color Purple’s stars, Corey Hawkins, opened up about how experiencing the film alongside his father was a powerful moment for him. When The Color Purple cast came together a day after the premiere for a press conference, which CinemaBlend was in…

Fifteen years ago, Carrie Brownstein, one half of feminist punk band Sleater-Kinney, was getting her hair cut when rowdy guitars started blaring through the salon’s speakers. What is this song, she thought, and who is this woman screaming? It took her a further 15 seconds to realise that the roars belonged to her bandmate, Corin Tucker. Their sound was scrappier than Brownstein remembered. The song she’d struggled to recognise? Dig Me Out: a galloping three-minute track that catapulted the band to international acclaim in…

Australian researchers have found that perovskite solar cells damaged by proton radiation can fully regain their efficiency via thermal vacuum annealing. The team achieved this feat through the careful design of the hole transport material and the pioneering use of novel spectroscopy techniques and ultrathin sapphire substrates.Australian researchers have shown that perovskite solar cells damaged by proton radiation in low-earth orbit can recover their original efficiency in full through annealing in a thermal vacuum.The…

File this under 'That's not supposed to happen!': Scientists observed a metal healing itself, something never seen before. If this process can be fully understood and controlled, we could be at the start of a whole new era of engineering.A team from Sandia National Laboratories and Texas A&M University was testing the resilience of the metal, using a specialized transmission electron microscope technique to pull the ends of the metal 200 times every second. They then observed the self-healing at ultra-small scales in…

A Romanian millennial based in Paris, film-maker Eva Pervolovici felt disconnected from the communist past of her home country until the arrival of an unexpected parcel ignited her curiosity. Lena, a family friend, sent Pervolovici a beautiful piece of hand-stitched tapestry: a colourful artwork that opened a portal to a bleak and tragic history. Under the Ceaușescu regime, Lena was held at the notorious Văcăreşti prison in Bucharest, charged with anticommunist activities – the same vague accusations that forced numerous…

Wynonna Judd knew going on tour soon after her mother died wouldn’t be easy. She also didn’t know it would be healing. “I have to admit, I’ve had an incredible, incredible opportunity to heal through all of this, to cry and to say things onstage that I’ll never say again,” she tells The Hollywood Reporter. “This is a whole other level of deep, and I wasn’t expecting it. I knew it would be intense but this is literally, ‘Oh, my Lord.’ This is me with a broken heart being as open as I’ll probably ever be,…

One of the biggest threats to our way of life is finally on the out, according to reports from the United Nations. The ozone hole, which has threatened the world with increased radiation from the Sun for decades, is not only smaller than ever, but the ozone layer is on track to completely heal by 2066. The loss of the ozone layer was once one of the most feared environmental perils facing humanity. While we’re still worried about rising sea levels and continued global warming, we can at least pat ourselves on…

With Phase Four complete, it’s fair to say that Thor: Love and Thunder has risen up — or sunk down, rather — to be proclaimed the direst disappointment of 2022’s Marvel efforts. Well, if that’s the case then the second most significant MCU letdown of the year has to be Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which not only failed to really capitalize on the promise of its title but also failed to deliver on actually being a Doctor Strange movie. At least, that’s what many fans would argue. And now they’re arguing…
