☆ 'Bones and All' review: Timothée Chalamet and Taylor Russell star in Luca Guadagnino's tale of fine young cannibals
  + stars: | 2022-11-18 | by ( Review Brian Lowry | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
A road movie about youthful flesh-eaters finding love (the title “Fine Young Cannibals” comes to mind), it’s a strange and intriguing but ultimately unsatisfying stew. There’s an unavoidably episodic quality to the pair’s travels, and strictly in terms of screen time, Chalamet plays a significant but relatively modest role. It’s that rare movie that despite its flaws leaves you wanting more, where the limited series version would potentially be more rewarding. Russell nevertheless delivers a breakthrough performance, anchoring the movie in Maren’s uncertainty and vulnerability, which provides necessary ballast given the florid nature of the characters around her. “Bones and All” just takes that dynamic more literally than most, while narratively speaking, feeling more like an appetizer than a meal.

Social media users are sharing images of world leaders wearing traditional Cambodian clothing for a Nov. 2022 East Asia Summit gala dinner. What other gathering of world leaders has had weird uniforms for them all to wear? False claims that Biden was wearing "Mao clothing" have been addressed by the Associated Press (here). World leaders were not wearing similar shirts to the 2022 East Asia Summit gala dinner as part of a new uniform, nor to imitate former Chinese leader Mao. They were dressed in traditional clothing of the host nation, Cambodia, as often happens at international gatherings.

☆ Why horror films kill at the box office all year round
  + stars: | 2022-10-31 | by ( Frank Pallotta | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
New York CNN Business —One of Paramount’s biggest blockbusters this year is a surprise hit that hasn’t slowed down at the box office since opening at No. The film, which stars Sosie Bacon as a psychiatrist being tormented by visions of horrifying smirks, opened to $22.6 million at the domestic box office late September. Many horror films this year have done the same, showing that — aside from superhero movies — horror is Hollywood’s most dependable genre at the box office. Audiences have been sporadic and the overall North America box office is down about 34% from the pre-Covid levels of 2019. “The box office results have been scary impressive.”

Social media users are sharing videos that allegedly show Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex. These videos are missing context as they are actors wearing masks of the prince and his wife, and do not actually show Prince Harry and Meghan. The promotional video that shows the actors in masks of Prince Harry and Meghan wearing the same clothing as in the Instagram video can be found on Madame Tussauds London’s Vimeo page (here). A YouTube account named “The Little Power Family” shared a similar video from a slightly different angle of the Madame Tussauds actors (youtu.be/7189A3fobzI?t=21). The video shows actors wearing masks to seem like Prince Harry and Meghan for an unveiling of live figures at Madame Tussauds London.

All of those factors make Washoe County the ultimate battleground for Cortez Masto and Laxalt. Both campaigns say that in the final 11 days, they’re swamping Washoe County with TV ads, canvassers and events. “Without a significant win in Washoe County, she has very few paths of winning Nevada.”Washoe County eluded Cortez Masto and Laxalt in their most recent statewide races. “The Democrats keep harping on that item here,” Bruce Parks, the Washoe County Republican chair, said of the abortion issue. “As I talk to Nevadans, including in Washoe County, it’s a combination of things — it’s not just the kitchen table issues,” she said.
☆ ‘M3GAN,’ the next generation of creepy doll movies, is not playing around
  + stars: | 2022-10-23 | by ( Dan Heching | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
“M3GAN” doesn’t hit theaters until January, but the movie’s quick, zeitgeist-piercing creepiness as seen in the teaser is something to behold. “I was always thinking of her as real,” “M3GAN” director Gerard Johnston told CNN of his approach. Universal PicturesJohnstone set out to make Megan (short for “Model 3 generative android,” Williams explains in the trailer) more than just a creepy inanimate doll. “Because she is a living doll… [‘M3GAN’ is a] cautionary tale about A.I. Like creepy doll movies, stories that explore evil and/or self-aware technology call to mind the troublesome and blurry line where the inanimate object ends, and where something akin to humanity – but somehow different – begins.

Jason Kellogg from Country Boy Gas Garage restored an abandoned 1948 Ford F5 bus found in a forest. The old church bus was covered in moss and ferns and was infested with rats. Jason Kellogg: Today, we're gonna be talking about the 1948 Ford F5 school bus that I found abandoned in the forest that had been there for over 25 years. My favorite part of the entire restoration would probably be the fact that this used to be a church bus. So I decided that I was going to make a reunion trip with the bus back to the church.

Mark Zuckerberg should quit. He should step down from his position as CEO of Meta and let someone else manage Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram. Zuckerberg was so excited about legs that he jumped for joy as he talked about them. Zuckerberg already has two very profitable platforms — Facebook and Instagram — but their popularity is declining. Internally, employees told the Times, Meta workers refer to metaverse projects as MMH, or "Make Mark Happy,'' projects.

There’s no doubt we’re interested in that.”The Lopez kids have what Farley calls “type-T personalities” – the “T” stands for thrill-seeking. They’ve learned to filter themselves around their pals so as not to scare the other kids and save it for when they’re home, where their horror habits aren’t questioned.
☆ 'The Midnight Club' review: Mike Flanagan adapts Christopher Pike's tale of terminal teens in another 'Stranger Things' wannabe
  + stars: | 2022-10-07 | by ( Review Brian Lowry | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
CNN —The curse of “Stranger Things” means every sci-fi/macabre concept involving teenagers will seemingly have its day on TV, with “The Midnight Club” as the latest example. The diverse makeup of the key group and approach to things like LGBTQ rights give “Midnight Club” a contemporary feel, despite its foundation in the past. As for the broader secrets, “Midnight Club” is in no hurry to disgorge those, perhaps hoping curiosity will pull viewers into a second season. Stranger things have happened, but if not, this could be the latest series in this genre that struggles to keep the midnight oil burning. “The Midnight Club” premieres October 7 on Netflix.
☆ 'Hellraiser' review: Hulu doesn't raise the bar on Clive Barker's gory original
  + stars: | 2022-10-06 | by ( Review Brian Lowry | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
CNN —Although the new “Hellraiser” is billed as “reimagining” Clive Barker’s 1987 horror film, it’s not like the title ever went away, raising six direct-to-video productions (the last one in 2018) after the four theatrical movies. It also fits Hulu’s strategy of premiering movies culled from well-known franchises, with “Prey” – from the “Predator” universe – among the recent examples. For those just seeking another fix of Pinhead and the Cenobites, that’s probably enough to get the job done. But once “Hellraiser” has made that, er, point, the movie feels more like a snack – or ‘bite – than a meal. “Hellraiser” premieres October 7 on Hulu.

In the months leading up to the product event, Amazon made two big announcements that could expand its reach into our lives even more. The Halo Rise sleep tracking device, meanwhile, encrypts the collected data and stores it in the cloud, according to the company.

About half of Americans think humans are only partially responsible for climate change, or not responsible at all.

An edible insect farm, Next Millennium Farms, opened in Canada in 2014. Incorporating edible insects into your diet once a week can make a big difference.”
