If anyone was wondering if there is an inevitable biopic then yes, there is with Shonda Rimes doing one for Netflix called "Inventing Anna" with Julia Garner playing her.
It's a boom time for portraying female villains, fictional or real these days. 😗😏

Banning things such as Winnie-the-Pooh on Chinese search engines!?
Between this, demolishing Ai Weiwei's art studio, "Peppa Pig", Chinese "Saturday Night Live", "Guardian/Zhenhun" & a load of other stuff, the Chinese government have got no chill, man.

Real Madrid also don't want to get on the wrong side of China.
Real Madrid @realmadrid has formally apologized to the Chinese people over controversial comments by its player Kylian Mbappe, sending a letter to China Media Group through La Liga on Wednesday, CMG reported.
In the letter, the Spanish football club expressed deep respect for China, its history, culture and people, as well as the millions of Chinese fans who support the club. It also reaffirmed Mbappe's respect for the Chinese people.

Was this re-edited yet again somehow!? Flash falling on top of Wonder Woman was still an odd scene but felt much shorter.

The comments for this 'lasagne pizza' generally haven't been positive but y'know what? I wouldn't mind given it a go. 🤔🤷🏻♂️

Well...Asda are debuting a 'pizzagne' which is a fusion of a pizza & a lasagne.
It's superficially nothing new but it probably will be to most of the GBP at large. 🤷🏻♂️

If you were wondering then Bet365 make it 1/5 that someone does beat Luke Littler but 10/3 that he goes unbeaten by not losing a single leg.
If Luke throws first then this makes it VERY difficult but if he throws second then this is very achievable for any of the 24 players. 👀
Netflix &/or the production company behind this stunt, have got John McDonald in to MC it.

I'm surprised that "Coyote vs. Acme" qualifies but animating the characters even into a real world environment counts. 🤔

The portrayal of young girls in Hollywood is a weird one as there's all sorts of variants of people of any kind.
They did this to Bella Ramsey in "The Last of Us" (a different kind of criticism/argument for that one!), & they're doing it for a... <checks notes>...fictional girl?
People are calling Prue ug*y because she doesn’t look like the caricature of a teenage girl they’re used to seeing in film.
I personally find her character design to be a reflection of her forlorn temperament, that’s to say, it’s deeply human, as is the entirety of #Wildwood.

No special offers from them this year to keep me as a subscriber as it looks like they want every single penny they can as hey, they have gulf states to pay back.

Well...I get the sneaky suspicion that Canada will do very well, even more so than Australia, because I believe Eurovision ultimately wants to get the USA involved.
See Canada do well, USA will say they can do better.
Pop music charts & the ESC are two different things though.

"Alien women" is tonight's theme on Film4 with three movies virtually back-to-back-to-back with a slight detour with a brief "Last Night in Soho" featurette...why they don't pair that with the actual movie, I dunno. 🤨🤔🤷🏻♂️

A couple of 'female-led horror comedies' are paired up tonight as we have "Lisa Frankenstein" & "Jennifer's Body" for a double-bill.
A slight bonus as Film4 ends the night with a FILM THAT DOESN'T EXIST with "Miranda" (2002). German Wikipedia entry only?
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirand…
RE: "Jennifer's Body"
Well...if I remember the marketing then there was a lot of focus, if not all, on Megan.
Yeah, they did sorta market it as an up-to-date slasher/killer horror flick like "Black Christmas" or "Slaughter High" when its aspirations were a bit higher than that.
Amanda Seyfried says the marketing for Jennifer’s Body ruined what she considers a perfect movie.
Amanda Seyfried: “I can’t critique this movie. To me, it’s a perfect movie. It’s got balls.”
“Diablo Cody was outspoken and beautiful and smart and funny, and we were expressing a certain angst in a very, very specific comedic way, in a very specific genre.”
“The special effects were incredible. There were stunts, there was, like, everything that you could want, and girl-on-girl action.”
“If the critics criticized anything, it would be the marketing. The marketing sucked. It just did. And we all agree.”
“Karyn is a fierce advocate of women and storytelling. She’s able to enhance the relationships between women on film and TV. She’s very human and very sensitive, and I felt like she cared deeply about the story underneath all of it.”
“She got it all and she put it together so beautifully. And the marketing team cheapened it. Like it was just, you know, a romp, a gory romp. I think they ruined it.”
“I’m looking forward to the sequel. They’re working on it. I already said thumbs up. I was like, whenever you’re ready, I’m ready.”
“I want to play Needy. I love Needy.”

There will be places elsewhere in the world other than Myanmar that these 'pig butchering scam centres' are but hey, here's where the focus is currently.
Chinese state media released a three-part documentary on police investigations into Myanmar’s scam centres on Monday. #scam #myanmar #china #crime #scamcentre
Grim stuff.
The SCMP is a bit coy in this article just stating rather vaguely 'telecoms fraud' but it's safe to assume that this fella was investigating 'pig butchering scam centres' or something fairly similar.
Real life is VERY different to movies like "The Beekeeper".

Prosthetic makeup artist Kazu Hiro breaks down how he created Tom Cruise’s prosthetic belly for "Digger":
"Under the suits, we made spandex and glued down prosthetics on it because he didn’t want to glue it (the prosthetic belly) on him. I said, 'Are you sure? This is going to be heavy and hard to wear?' He said, 'Yes, I’m trained and can handle it. So he started to wear that.'"

Jennifer Lawrence has seen what her peers & contemporaries have got into but she's trying 'haircare products'.
Best of luck.
Jennifer Lawrence has officially launched the haircare brand Mes, but the career pivot is not a play for financial stability amid Hollywood ups-and-downs: "A smarter exit plan would be signing up for a big franchise."
"Starting a new company to get rich feels like jumping off a cruise ship to land on a door,” Lawrence told The Cut, adding that moving from acting into the beauty space is a natural extension of her interests as a performer. "There is an undeniable energetic thing that happens when you’re creating things, whether it’s a movie or a product. I got that same electric buzz I get from building a character. It’s like, ‘Well, I have to follow this because it’s the same animal.'”
