So there’s a certain poetry to the fact that this is the year Jakob is taking over as the new singer of Sublime, starting at April’s Coachella festival, alongside original members Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh.

As Dune: Part Two’s Rotten Tomatoes Score Blows Past The First Movie, Author Frank Herbert’s Son Shares Thoughts On The Adaptation

There are plenty of upcoming book adaptations and some could be more challenging to produce than others.

David Lynch's 1984 attempt highlighted this fact, but Denis Villeneuve's first attempt, 2021's Dune, was critically acclaimed upon its release.

He opened up about a “week-long argument” at home because he refused a hypothetical scenario where he would have to pay his daughter…

School Bully Gets Beaten Up, Mom Refuses To Punish Her Son For It When She Finds Out He Did It

If you remember, in the movie Captain America: Civil War, one important issue was raised which many viewers almost lost sight of, hidden by the large-scale and spectacular battles of superheroes. And the question is: how appropriate is it for people (or superheroes, it doesn’t matter) to take justice into their own hands?Steve Rogers was sure that yes, Tony Stark was categorically against the usurpation of state functions. Most of the commenters on this post in the AITAH community on Reddit would seem to be in favor of…
