Revolution (2012-2014)
Revolution is a sci-fi show that could have done much better in the 2020s than it did in the 2010s.

Teen Mom alum Kailyn Lowry has seven children and obviously, that can cause scarring. Now, she revealed her scars amid allegations of tummy tucks. In fact, it seems the MTV star is seldom this candid about her births, especially in recent times, when she hid Rio’s birth for a year. Keep reading to find out more.
Kailyn Lowry Got A Tummy Tuck Before
In 2016, Kailyn Lowry had a tummy tuck, a Brazilian butt lift, and liposuction. At the time, she’d welcomed Isaac with Jo Rivera in 2010. Her next son, Lincoln, Javi Marroquin’s boy, arrived in 2012. By the time the sons of Chris Lopez arrived, Lux and Creed, she’d possibly ruined some of the tummy tuck improvements. Of course, Rio and the twins also caused changes to her body. Some MTV fans think that she wasted her money on the previous surgeries.

The New Boy — the story of a young Aboriginal Australian orphan boy that was written, directed and lensed by Warwick Thornton — collected the Golden Frog in the main competition of the 31st EnergaCamerimage international cinematography film festival, which closed Saturday night in Torún, Poland.
Cinematographer Ed Lachman received the Silver Frog for Pablo Larraín’s El Conde, which positions Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet as a vampire. Robbie Ryan’s lensing of Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things, the story of a young woman (Emma Stone) brought back to life by an unorthodox scientist, claimed the Bronze Frog as well as the Audience Award. (Ryan collected the Golden Frog two years ago, for Mike Mills’ C’mon C’mon, and Lachman won the Golden Frog in 2015, for Todd Haynes’ Carol.).

In a suburban neighborhood in the mid-1970s, all five teenage girls in the Lisbon family die by suicide, forever changing the lives of the boys who lived nearby. Sofia Coppola's 1999 film "The Virgin Suicides" is tragic and isn't always easy to watch, but it's a beautiful and eerie dive into the secret lives of teen girls, the reach of grief, and the malleability of memory. The film was Coppola's directorial debut and she wrote the screenplay as well, based on the 1993 novel by Jeffrey Eugenides.
"The Virgin Suicides" has gone through waves of popularity, as it was beloved on the festival circuit only to barely make back its budget at the box office. Later it found cult status on home video, joining the Criterion Collection in 2018.

Kelsea Ballerini made her feelings about the Tennessee drag ban known during her performance at the 2023 CMT Music Awards Sunday.
Ballerini, who also served as the night’s co-host, transported the audience backyard barbecue in the ’60s, where she was surrounded by a bevy of drag queens while belting out her hit, “If You Go Down (I’m Goin’ Down Too)”.
The group served as Ballerini’s backup dancers, while the singer sang and strummed along on a pink guitar. After throwing her long, green coat to the side, Ballerini showed off a yellow two-piece, which she strutted her stuff in while the drag queens followed behind — all dressed in their best ’60s-inspired wears.
The performance ended with a flutter of confetti that was illuminated with rainbow stage lights, which made Ballerini’s stance loud and clear.

As someone who is obsessed with both the worlds of musical theatre and the art form of drag, it goes without saying that the musical episodes of Ru Paul’s Drag Race are always something I eagerly anticipate every season! This season’s musical challenge had the queens performing in the original production “Wig Loose” where the art form of drag was banned. Not only was this a clever interpretation of Footloose (where dancing is banned) but it also came at the perfect time as Tennessee have recently passed a bill that criminalises drag. I think for us in the UK, it is so easy for us to forget how political the art form of drag can be, so seeing a TV show tackle this devastating and real-world legislation is so powerful! Not only was this challenge cleverly political but the producers behind the episode pulled out all the stops...

More than three decades after its original publication, Neil Gaiman's beloved comic book series "The Sandman" is finally a series on Netflix. Based on the acclaimed graphic novels by Gaiman, which spanned 75 issues from 1989 to 1996, the live-action adaptation has been a long time coming. The show - which serializes the first two comics in the series, "Preludes & Nocturnes" and "The Doll's House," along with some portions of volume three, "Dream Country" - centers on the immortal entity Morpheus, aka Dream, who wakes up from a century-plus-long slumber orchestrated by dark occultists. He must restore balance in his kingdom, the Dreaming, which has descended into chaos in his absence.
One important character Dream will come into contact with throughout the series is Lucifer, the ruler of Hell. Keep reading for a refresher on Lucifer as "The Sandman" starts streaming on Aug. 5.

New York — For the second night in a row, superstorm Sandy and its aftermath forced David Letterman to live out that performer's nightmare: Telling jokes to a vacant theater, or as he called it, "a big ol' empty barn."
Letterman hosting the "Late Show" to an unpeopled Ed Sullivan Theater on Tuesday, as he did on Monday, was the oddest sight of the considerable and continuing cultural fallout of the hurricane that left New York institutions like Broadway, Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center no more open for business than the city's damaged subway system.
But the New York entertainment industry was fighting to go on with the show, and none more than several of the city's late-night shows. Though "The Colbert Report" and "The Daily Show" canceled tapings for the second day, the "Late Show," Jimmy Fallon's "Late Night" and a traveling out-of-towner, ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live," went ahead with shows Tuesday.

If we’ve accepted, years later, that the world will never see another Sopranos, another Sex and the City, another Lost—hell, not even another Entourage—the TV landmarks of 2012 are the shows that stopped the focus on the past. When the brilliant dangers of Homeland arrived to shore, American Horror Story twisted fiction on its head, and Girls became twee-ly epic in all its polarizing mediocrity, they spearheaded a league of new series that took watercooler debate and discussion back to the main stage, making us fall in love with the small screen all over again. Even if the freshmen had to rival the brutal trials of Breaking Bad and the long-awaited return of Donald Draper’s Mad Men, they’re still responsible for forging new ground, reimaging and reinventing the ways we can be shocked, awed, challenged, gripped, enamored, and moved by television.

From the man without a last name comes the urban thriller Ecstasy. This is an anti-drug film, as suggested by the trailer. Drug deaths, sexual assault, and misfortune all lead to destruction in the first trailer for Lux's Ecstasy, which is quite graphic. Ecstasy was shot in Vancouver, British Columbia and Seattle, Washington. The film is currently available through digital-on-demand and Ecstasy stars Charlie Bewley (Eclipse), Elisa King ("Psych"), and Christy Andersen. More details are below.
The synopsis for Ecstasy is here:
"In a college community, four teenage school girls find escape in a mysterious new party drug that brings them to new heights. A mother tries in vain to stop her daughters as she watches them become addicted and lose control, and all the girls begin to be haunted by the withdrawals, which makes all their fears, guilt and demons become real" (Ecstasy).

Importing video games from Japan can be a little tricky. True, the lion's share of development costs have already been covered in the country of origin, but the cost of localizing (translation, recording new voiceovers, etc.), especially for a title that may not offer a return on the initial investment can turn off potential licensors. Compounding that is the fundamental differences in pacing and gameplay styles between Japan and the U.S.A., which can even further narrow the choices for importing. For every western-palatable title like Biohazard (Resident Evil to you and me) and Silent Hill, there are dozens of titles like Lux-Pain that, while excellent, don't mesh well with our sensibilities.
