EXCLUSIVE: Paramount/Skydance’s Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning – Part One is looking at $6M-$7M in previews so far, which is bound to be higher than the Thursday previews of the last Mission Impossible – Fallout back in 2018 which did $6M. This is according to sources. The figures we’re seeing now could go higher or lower. Dead Reckoning previews began at 2PM today, however, I hear there were PLF fan screenings on Monday and that handful of bucks is accounted for in the estimate. Dead Reckoning is one of the longer films of the summer at 2 hours and 43 minutes…

Hi.Okay, enough with the pleasantries. If you’re reading this—which, turns out, you are—it stands to reason that you’re the kind of man who prefers minimal banter and maximum substance. A working man. And as such, someone in desperate need of the best work socks for men. Sweat-wicking materials, odor-fighting properties, bulletproof construction, and overall comfort should be your top concerns. But once those boxes are checked, you’re free to mix things up with some interesting colors, niche features, and various lengths.

At 5:15 in the morning, I tiptoe across my kitchen floor and pray it doesn’t squeak in that one spot where it always squeaks. I don’t pray often, but these are desperate times: I have a small child and forty-five minutes to write in solitary silence. With a baby monitor and a cup of coffee in front of me, I open my laptop. The cursor blinks as if to say, “Now what?” I’m working on an essay about re-learning Cantonese, the language I grew up speaking. Of course, it’s about more than that. It’s also about the pain of losing…
Language is central to our personal identities, and connects us others, and with our ancestors. But language is highly dynamic. Words and language structures evolve over time, sometimes leading to new dialects and languages. How and why does this occur? What can online communication tell us about regional variations? Why are so many languages at risk of extinction? These types of questions have traditionally been lacked by the field of linguistics. But physicists – who have never been shy about crossing academic boundaries – are also starting to grapple with these sorts of questions. This video looks at the interdisciplinary…

Box office for most Broadway shows last week wilted a bit as June’s Tony glow gave way to plain old New York summer heat, though a couple newcomers were among the handful bucking the downward trend, one very impressively so. In its second week of previews, Back To The Future: The Musical grossed a whopping $1,222,731 for just six previews, filling 99% of seats at the Winter Garden. The stage adaptation of the Michael J. Fox comedy classic starring Casey Likes and Roger Bart opens August 3. Another recent arrival, Alex Edelman’s Just For Us also made some dollar gains,…

EA has formally announced that it’s working on a Black Panther single-player game. In a tweet, the publisher confirmed that its new Seattle-based studio Cliffhanger Games is developing an original story-driven game that explores the world of Wakanda. The project is led by Kevin Stephens, who served as Monolith Productions’ studio head when Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor was being conceived. Originally codenamed ‘Project Rainier,’ the title is a result of EA’s partnership with Marvel — established last year — to make at least three new games. The Black Panther game is still in early development and therefore does not have…

A jury determined a handwritten document found in Aretha Franklin’s couch is a valid will … a major development after years of her kids battling over her estate. The ruling on the hard-to-read pages came in Tuesday in a Michigan court. The will was found in 2019 — the year after she passed — in a notebook tucked under the couch in Aretha’s Detroit home. The docs, dated March 31, 2014, are significantly different from a 2010 draft of her will. The newer pages apparently designate her sons Kecalf and Edward as executors of her $6 million estate, and it…
