Spoiler Alert: The following reveals major plot points from ABC’s Station 19 series finale.
After 7 seasons, the time has finally come to say goodbye to Seattle’s hardest-working firefighters on ABC’s Station 19. As they say, all good things must come to an end. But, thanks to some gifts left behind in the finale by showrunners Peter Paige and Zoanne Clack and the writers, fans can expand on the firefighters’ stories well beyond tonight.
The episode titled “One Last Time” continues the story from last week’s episode as Station 19 is battling a raging wildfire targeting Seattle. Everyone is in danger but they’re keeping cool heads and working together to protect anyone else from getting hurt. In a particularly intense scene, the team has to take cover when a firestorm threatens everyone’s lives quickly. They get under aluminum fire shelters that they pull over themselves like a blanket.

Many generations have grown up loving the Star Wars film franchise, which is among the most adored of all time. It is a hit, and so is its cast, which included the unforgettable late Carrie Fisher. While fans continue to mourn her death, a recent touching revelation from her friend James Blunt reflected on the pressures she faced in the industry, particularly those demanding she maintain a youthful, slender figure.

Indeed, the global shock that followed Fisher’s unexpected demise in 2016 still reverberates through the hearts of fans and cinephiles alike. At 60, she had just reignited our collective nostalgia with her return to the galaxy far, far away as Princess Leia in 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Today marks the 15th anniversary of Pixar's "Up," the Oscar-winning classic that's probably still best known for making audiences bawl their eyes out at the film's devastating opening 10 minutes. (The rest of the movie? Also great!) To celebrate the anniversary, I spoke with composer Michael Giacchino about his experience crafting the film's Oscar-winning score, and naturally, our conversation touched on that tearjerking opening montage and the song that underscores it, called "Married Life." As Giacchino explained, he and the filmmakers targeted that scene with precision in order to make it as resonant as possible:
"On the 'Married Life' scene, there were a couple areas that every time we did it, I'd look at it and go, 'Well, it works, but maybe it'd be better if we try this.' Because you don't really know until you put something up there, until you get there with the orchestra,...

The first trailer for Moana 2 has just dropped (via Toonado.com) ahead of the sequel's release in theaters this November.
This sneak peek doesn't give too much away about the story, though we see that Moana (Auli'i Cravalho) will be heading on a new adventure which reunites her with the demigod Maui (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson).
It was only in February when Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed plans for a Moana sequel. While the news generated excitement among Disney Animation fans, it felt like the movie came out of nowhere.
It was in 2020 when we first learned of plans for a Moana sequel TV series on Disney+. The idea was for it to serve as a loose follow-up in the same way as the streamer's Big Hero 6, Zootopia, and Up sequels. So, what changed?

Steven Spielberg was associated with a dinosaur film even before Jurassic Park came out in 1993. While the legendary filmmaker revolutionized cinema with the incredible dinosaur franchise, it was not his first time in the genre. He also acted as a producer in the 1988 animated film The Land Before Time.
Despite being a fun-filled animated dinosaur film for kids, The Land Before Time spoke on some mature topics like homelessness. However, if it was not for Spielberg, the film was also about to carry a more violent and darker tone, unlike a traditional children’s film.

Some of the saddest sequences in films like The Lion King and Up have proven that even animated films come with loads of emotions and tearful scenes. But Steven Spielberg felt that the villain in The Land Before Time was becoming too scary to be in a children’s movie.

George R.R. Martin has been working on the final two novels of the A Song of Ice and Fire series, which inspired the HBO show Game of Thrones. The ending of the fantasy show was met with severe controversies due to Daenerys Targaryen’s sudden turn in character. The character goes on a rampage and massacres King’s Landing, which many consider anticlimactic.
The show moved away from the books as Martin took longer to finish his climactic novels and developed storylines on their own. However, if the makers had stuck more to the storyline the author was building, the ending might have made more sense and would have been less controversial. This storyline involved Tyrion Lannister.

Gary Oldman Opens Up On Regrets Playing Sirius Black ( Photo Credit – IMDb )
Gary Oldman has a few regrets about playing Sirius Black in the “Harry Potter” film franchise. Oscar-winner Gary Oldman portrayed Harry’s fugitive godfather, Sirius Black, in four films, first appearing in the third Harry Potter movie, 2004’s “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.” Gary Oldman later reprised his role in “Goblet of Fire” and “Order of the Phoenix.,” before making a final appearance in “Deathly Hallows — Part 2.”
During an interview with Josh Horowitz on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast last year, Gary Oldman called his performance in the movies “mediocre” compared to the late Alan Rickman, who portrayed Severus Snape.
The “Darkest Hour” actor explained that he didn’t prepare for the part by reading J.K. Rowling’s fantasy novels as Rickman did.

Emma Johnston and Alex Johnston were the last of Trent Johnston and Amber Johnston’s children to reach adulthood. As the two youngest siblings, they’ve had one another to lean on for years. Because they are so close in age, only separated by a few months, they’ve been able to experience a lot of the same checkpoints and milestones at the same time.
Whether it’s going to the same school prom or experiencing some other school-related activity, Alex and Emma have been thick as thieves from day one. Another thing they get to share is making the transition into being young adults as well.

Helldivers 2 is a video game about intergalactic soldiers equipped with futuristic armor to take on hostile threats. It is only fitting if the players can customize the look or appearance of their character and allow them to reflect their personalities and stand out from the rest of the squad.
It can be annoying for a game to not have the option to remove pieces on a character’s outfit. Fortunately, Shift Up managed just fine by implementing a feature where Eve’s ponytail can be adjusted if it is ruining the look in Stellar Blade, which should be practiced by other developers.

The release of the first season of Solo Leveling anime in January became a high point for the anime industry as the series brilliantly portrayed the adventures and struggles of Sung Jinwoo as an E-Rank Hunter. While A-1 Pictures did a great job adapting the manga, a lot of the credit goes to the voice actors of the characters from the series, especially Aleks Le.

It’s Stellar Blade vs Hellblade 2 Because Apparently, We Can’t Have Good Games without a Console War
Hellblade 2 is out, and the reviews are in. The highly anticipated sequel to the 2017 title Senua’s Sacrifice: Hellblade came out around 24 hours ago, and people have been running to get their hands on it via Game Pass or Steam.
The game being excluded from PlayStation consoles has given another reason for people to throw oil on the never-ending console wars. This time, the crowd is comparing the new Hellblade with a PS5 exclusive via their review scores, and the competition is close.
Stellar Blade vs. Hellblade 2: Which One’s Better?
Hellblade 2 is the next game to fall victim to the console war.
Stellar Blade had a smashing release despite being a new IP. Even pre-orders for its physical release broke records, and Shift Up confirmed sales were beyond expectations.

90 Day Fiance: Laura Jallali Filmed Memorable Scenes With Aladin Jallali For TLC
Many longtime 90 Day Fiance fans still remember Laura Jallali for her time filming TLC scenes with Aladin Jallali. There have been many names on the show and its many spinoffs referring to getting busy between the sheets. Thanks to these two, fans have “Jiggy Jiggy.”

Pixar was hit with layoffs on Tuesday as approximately 175 employees, or 14% of its workforce, were let go.
In a note to staff, Pixar president Jim Morris said that individuals who have been impacted by the layoffs will be notified on Tuesday. “Calendar invites to speak with a leader have already gone out to those individuals, and we anticipate we will have connected with everyone impacted by the end of the day,” he wrote.
Pixar employees have been bracing for layoffs since January, but cuts were smaller than the speculated 20% reduction that was reported at the time.
Once considered the gold standard of family films, Pixar has been struggling since the pandemic when its corporate overlords at Disney used the pedigree of the animation brand to prop up its new streaming service. During that period, new offerings “Soul,” “Luca” and “Turning Red” were sent directly to Disney+ and family audiences became...

Ghost story, body horror, feminist comedy and a freshly minted edition of that very French subgenre, How to Get Rid of a Troublesome Corpse: Noémie Merlant, familiar as a fine actress from Céline Sciamma’s Portrait of a Lady on Fire, packs a good deal into her sophomore feature as director, The Balconettes. The message is essentially Time’s Up, maxxed out to include revenge killings; the medium is Mediterranean color. Sciamma co-wrote the script with Merlant, which may come as a surprise given that this swirl of blood and wackiness, complete with a running gag about a severed penis, is about as far from the restraint of Sciamma’s own films as could be.

After four decades of filmmaking, Renny Harlin isn’t slowing down in the slightest. The journeyman director, who’s most known for Die Hard 2, Cliffhanger, Deep Blue Sea and A Nightmare on Elm Street 4, is back on the big screen with The Strangers: Chapter 1, the first film in a trilogy that he’s already shot across 52 days in Slovakia.
Chapter 1 stays true to Bryan Bertino’s 2008 horror classic, The Strangers, only it imagines a scenario where an analogue for Liv Tyler’s character definitively survives the central home invasion, setting up Chapter Two and Three. Madelaine Petsch’s Maya is now filling that protagonist role, as her cross-country road trip to Portland results in her and her boyfriend (Froy Gutierrez’s Ryan) having to stay at a small town Airbnb due to car trouble. That’s when the Strangers crawl out of the woodwork to play their patented cat-and-mouse game.

When Bryan Bertino unleashed "The Strangers" onto the world in 2008, I doubt he could have predicted what a phenomenon the story and characters would become. The first-time feature film director took inspiration from the senseless violence that plagues so many people, and a real-life encounter as a child where vandals were randomly knocking on doors in his neighborhood and breaking into houses if no one was home. The terrifying "point" of "The Strangers" was that there was no point. The Man in the Mask, Pin-Up Girl, and Dollface killed Kristen and James because, as Dollface horrifically admits, "because you were home." Alas, with such phenomenal character designs and a cult-like following, "The Strangers" was destined to get the horror franchise treatment.
