In honor of Queen Elizabeth II’s Platnum Jubilee, Mattle released a Barbie doll of her on her 96th birthday.
The doll is gorgeous, but I think she looks more like Helen Mirren than the British Monarch. However, it is an honest mistake because the actress did win an Oscar for portraying Her Royal Highness in the movie The Queen.
If you were hoping to buy the beautiful Barbie, you are out of luck. The $75 is sold out.
Before Utkarsh Ambudkar went to university in Pitch Perfect, he was still in high school in Rocket Science. He looks the same now as he did when he was 22 in the 2007 movie.
Stephen Colbert was supposed to host The Late Show tonight, but it is going to be a repeat instead.
“I tested positive for Covid, but basically I’m feeling fine- grateful to be vaxxed and boosted,” the host wrote. “Thank you for the well wishes. This just proves that I will do anything to avoid interviewing Jason Bateman.” I think we can understand why he got coronavirus now.
Seriously though, I am happy he is doing well. And I can’t wait for him to return with new episodes on May 2nd.
Cursed Films is back for a second season on Shudder, and this week’s episode is focusing on the 1979 Russian movie Stalker.
I have to admit I had never heard of the movie until now, but I am very curious about it after watching this episode.
The feature was expected to start filming in 1977, but an earthquake derailed their plans. Therefore, they had to find new locations. And those locations might be why some believe it is cursed. That is because several of the people who worked on the production died of illnesses within ten years of its release, including two actors, a cinematographer, a photographer, the director, and his wife.
The earthquake was not the only delay they experienced while filming. Director Andrei Tarkovsky suffered a heart attack and spent four weeks in the hospital shortly after they started. If that was not enough, there was an error with the processing of the film, and they had to throw out weeks worth of work and start over again. That all happened when they were making the movie.
But there is one more reason why they say Stalker is cursed. Some say it predicted a disaster, one of epic proportions. Do you know which one it is? You will have to tune in to find out.
Then when you are done, you can watch the episodes of Cursed Films 2 about The Wizard of Oz and Rosemary’s Baby.
