J.Crew embarked on a comeback after filing for bankruptcy in the early months of the pandemic. But hype alone isn't enough: experts say the stores and product needed a revamp, and the brand is now on the right track.

New York CNN Business —Thanksgiving weekend has historically offered a cornucopia of films, letting moviegoers get out of the house and kick back after eating copious amounts of turkey, mashed potatoes and pie. The North American box office has few new films this weekend that are likely to draw tons of moviegoers. Another Disney film, Marvel’s “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” is now in its second week and is set to win the holiday weekend with around $40 million domestically. For example, films like “Creed,” “Moana,” and “Knives Out” opened on Thanksgiving weekends and did well. As for Thanksgiving, Dergarabedian hopes that as the theater industry normalizes, the holiday will make a comeback.

Olivia Wilde’s “Don’t Worry, Darling” is — on its immaculately, obsessively polished surface — a film about the danger of dreams. Even if you have somehow avoided all publicity for the film, the pop culture reference points should already be clear. Pugh conveys blissful serenity and anguished confusion with equal conviction; her deftness justifies Wilde’s poetic anti-narrative, and vice versa. The real world feels like ghostly and desaturated reflection. “Don’t Worry, Darling” is a movie that airily warns you to watch out for illusions even as it revels in a film’s power to create a world deliberately untethered from reality.

New York City-based chef Joseph Yoon started cooking insects four years ago for an art project. He now wants to change our perceptions of creepy crawlies so that we can have “delicious,” “nutrient-dense,” and “sustainable” insect diets. “I absolutely love insects,” says Yoon, who is the executive director of Brooklyn Bugs, an organization that promotes edible insects. 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.”

Proiectul a fost realizat de firma MVRDV, în conformitate cu noile legi din Olanda, care cer ca pieţele să fie acoperite. Din punct de vedere tehnic, piața nu este o sală, ci mai multe străzi cu ștanduri, și a costat aproximativ 175 de milioane de euro. În timpul deschiderii, accentul a fost pus în principal pe prezentarea de produse proaspete. Practic, blocul despre care vorbim a fost conturat peste piața deja existentă acolo, arhitecții amenajând toate facilitățile fără să iasă nici măcar un metro în afara perimetrului clădirii propriu-zise. Construcția conferă acces public la diverse magazine, tarabe cu produse din toată lumea și restaurante, găzduind în același timp 228 de apartamente cu balcoanele orientate spre exterior.
