"Man, I hate Avatar. Great effects, but the story was such a trite, recycled POS. The characters were all clichés and could have just worn T-shirts saying which trope they were: Bad Guy, Military, Reluctant Hero, Scrappy Scientist, Tribal Elder, His Daughter, Her Intended... Pocahontas meets Dances With Wolves meets The Last Samurai meets The Smurfs."—wolfinwolfscothing Source link

Pi Network (PI), Sky (formerly MakerDAO), and Ether.fi (ETHFI) are among the top-performing crypto assets over the last 24 hours, logging steady gains amid a largely volatile market. Pi Network’s rally, driven by the CiDi games partnership, and the recovery in Sky and Ether.fi, are likely to extend gains if Bitcoin remains above $90,000, avoiding the pullbacks seen last week. Pi Network rallies with expansion in the gaming sector Pi Network edges higher by nearly 3% at press time on Friday, marking its fourth consecutive bullish candle. The expansion of PI token’s use case in the gaming segment, with the CiDi Games partnership announced on Wednesday, serves as the primary catalyst. The PI token bulls aim to reclaim the $0.3000 round figure to challenge the $0.3220 resistance level marked b...

It's really hard to narrow down the past four decades of cinema into a list of eleven movies, but there are some sacrifices we have to make. With so many masterpieces having come out over the years, the industry is evolving together with the viewers' tastes and film becomes more than just good art—it becomes a lifestyle. This sort of list is often subjective, but we can't deny some movies are just classics that move the boundaries of known filmmaking; whether it's a classic action film or one that revolutionized the genre, a drama that lingers long after you watch it, or a classic fantasy epic that leaves us mesmerized, there's a film for every taste among the best of the best. Here are the eleven best movies of the last 40 years. 11 ...

Do you ever wish you could linger after a concert and have a relaxed conversation with the musicians? Perhaps tell them how much you admired their playing, or ask them about their interpretation of a particular piece in the programme? It so rarely happens. Players and audience, who minutes earlier have enjoyed transcendent moments together, scatter into the night, that special connection between performer and listener dissolving in the hurry to catch a train, chase that bus or find the car.  Explora I © Explora Journeys Now imagine not only having a single conversation but actually touring with top-flight musicians over several days, moving from location to location, getting to know them after they perform solely for you and your fellow music-lovers.

Everyone loves a good twist, as long as it is done right, that is. Whether it is the “He was dead the whole time” twist in The Sixth Sense, “I am your father” from Darth Vader, or learning that Tyler Durden isn’t real at the end of Fight Club, a good twist can become as large a talking point as a film is in its entirety. Focusing on British cinema, there is no denying the country has delivered some of the best twists in film history, as well as some of the best horrors, thrillers, and dramas that perfectly nail that dark turn in the more modern scope of cinema. These ten already phenomenal films caught us off guard with their twist endings. As many of these movies are not widely known, we will keep them as spoiler-free as possible; besides letting you know that there is a twist to be fo...
