‘EarthBound’ is a role-playing game created by Ape Inc. and HAL Laboratory and released by Nintendo. It’s known for its quirky, modern take on Western culture, presented as a parody. While it didn’t sell well when it first came out in North America – thanks to a strange marketing campaign built around silly, shocking humor – it eventually gained a huge and dedicated fanbase online. Today, ‘EarthBound’ is considered a hugely influential RPG, and it directly inspired popular games like ‘Undertale’.

In 2018, singer SZA, known for her Grammy award, posted a photo on social media wearing a t-shirt that said “F*ck ICE.” She did this to show her disagreement with the agency’s immigration policies, which were under scrutiny at the time due to increased border issues. The photo quickly spread online, causing a lot of discussion and reactions from both the public and political figures. SZA often uses her platform to speak out about social justice and support those who are often overlooked, and this t-shirt was seen as support for the growing movement to abolish ICE.

As a film fan, I was shocked to learn about Allison Mack, best known for playing Chloe on ‘Smallville’. It turned out she became deeply involved with NXIVM, which initially seemed like a self-help organization but was later revealed to be a dangerous cult. She wasn’t just a follower; she actively recruited women into a secret group within NXIVM where they were branded and essentially forced into slavery. It was horrific. She ended up being arrested and sent to prison for her role in all of this, and sadly, she completely gave up acting to devote herself to the teachings of the cult’s leader, Keith Raniere. It’s a really tragic story, seeing someone go from a popular TV show to being involved in something so dark.

The actress was surprisingly excited when she learned they’d be using brownie mix instead of dirt for a scene. She initially thought, “This sounds amazing!” but quickly discovered that being coated in thick, sticky chocolate for hours of filming was actually quite difficult. It’s a typical example of the playfully unpleasant details fans expect from the director, who is known for creatively challenging his actors.

The making of the movie ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’ is famous for a major Hollywood scandal. Brad Pitt was married to Jennifer Aniston when he began working with Angelina Jolie on the film.

Pitt and Jolie later confirmed their relationship and spent over ten years together.

Edward Wood Jr. was an American film director best known for movies like ‘Plan 9 from Outer Space’ and ‘Glen or Glenda’. He usually handled many jobs on his films – writing, directing, and editing – even though he had very little money and few resources. While he was making movies, most people ignored his work or criticized its technical problems and unusual stories. It wasn’t until the 1980 book ‘The Golden Turkey Awards’ that he gained a dedicated cult following. He died in 1978, before his films became famous for a unique, low-budget style of independent cinema.
