If modern romcoms aren't sweeping you off your feet any more, you're not the only one wondering where the magic went. Romantic comedies are just not as good as they used to be, according to one of the stars of Love Actually. Thomas Brodie-Sangster, who played lovestruck teenager Sam in Richard Curtis's 2003 Christmas film, said the rise of streaming had led to rushed, cheaper productions, draining the genre of the spark it had in its 1990s heyday.
Their unique experiences and values have impacted several aspects of culture, from consumer behavior and communication styles to lifestyle choices and relationship trends. As a result, certain fads and practices that were once popular have fallen out of favor with this influential generation. While some may bash millennials for their perceived aversion to traditional norms, it's important to recognize that their choices often reflect an underlying longing for authenticity, sustainability, and social consciousness.
Luis Enrique's side are top of Ligue 1 at present and come into this one following a 3-0 home win over Le Havre at the weekend.

Video Recaps uses AI to identify a show's important plot points and create a short but "theatrical-quality" summary video that combines a selection of clips with music, dialogue, and narration. The Video Recaps feature is being rolled out starting this week in beta on some English-language Prime Original series including Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, Upload, Bosch, The Rig, and Fallout (ahead of season two's premiere on December 17th, 2025). Amazon says available recaps, including the text-based X-Ray Recaps it introduced a year ago, will be accessible through a recap button on the detail page when a "customer navigates to the next season of a supported series."

Yes, is the short answer. You point your hose at whatever mucky thing is in front of you a bungalow, a monster truck, Lara Croft's mansion and blast all that filth into oblivion. Each time you finish a section, a pleasing ding rings out, triggering your brain to release a little bit more dopamine. This is the only sound in the game, save for the rush of water and the occasional clang of a metal ladder. The whole experience is intensely soothing, deeply satisfying, and mesmerising.

Path to Profitability Accelerates What stood out most was the trajectory. Fubo reported a $0.02 EPS beat against expectations for a $0.04 loss, marking the company's first positive annual earnings in years. The loss narrowed dramatically from a $0.16 miss in Q3 2024 to near breakeven this quarter. That's not just operational improvement. That's a company finally executing on its restructuring promises.
This week, I've been reading about lotteries and Jennifer Lawrence and religious AI, shame-watching Finding Mr. Christmas, turning MyMind into my daily journal / commonplace book, learning a lot about Taylor Sheridan for some reason, letting James Hoffman teach me about cold brew, attempting to replace most of my laptop time with iPad Pro time, and trying my very best to not eat all our Halloween candy ahead of time. Friends, I did not succeed.
With virtually all new TVs now being manufactured with built-in streaming ability, you might think the streaming stick and other external streaming devices are on their way to the ash heap of history, next to the VCR, the 8-track, and a long list of other once-cutting-edge technology. We'd never bet against progress, but as long as the Fire TV Stick HD has such a clean, intuitive interface and user experience as compared to many of those Smart TVs, it won't be going anywhere.
Horror is my everything. You'll rarely catch me at a time in my life when I'm not reading, watching, or playing something in the genre. If you can relate, then you surely also love the Halloween season, because it's a time when so many others try to match your vibe, if only for a few weeks. Even for folks too scared to play horror games themselves, many like to watch others play them on Twitch.

The Court issues an injunction preventing Defendant from infringing Nintendo's copyrighted works, including by streaming, and from trafficking in Switch emulators, Nintendo's proprietary cryptographic keys, or other software or technologies that circumvent Nintendo's technological protective measures," U.S. District Judge Gordon P. Gallagher wrote in an order issued earlier this week (via TorrentFreak). The only thing the judge didn't grant Nintendo was its request to confiscate and destroy any tools Keighin had used to pirate Switch games.
How much money have you spent on the air you breathe? Air? Yes, air! We store all resources -movies, music, literature, and our own precious creations - in a metaphorical cloud that holds binary 0/1s. But the binary is a misconception, there is no cloud.
I was thrilled this week when Apple issued a press release announcing that its original film, F1 The Movie, starring Brad Pitt, would make its streaming debut on the company's video service December 12. But it wasn't the news about the movie that excited me. Rather, it was a small line at the end of the press release that quietly announced something else: "Apple TV+ is now simply Apple TV, with a vibrant new identity."
Two of the world's biggest entertainment platforms are joining forces. Spotify and Netflix have officially signed a new video podcast distribution deal, marking a major shift in the way audiences will experience podcasts in the years ahead. Starting in early 2026, select video podcasts from Spotify Studios and The Ringer will stream directly on Netflix in the United States, with plans to expand globally later that year.
Streaming services are like candy stores for your eyeballs. One minute you're deep into a superhero saga, and the next you're watching a true-crime doc about someone stealing zoo animals. Platforms like Netflix, Disney+, and YouTube keep audiences glued by mixing everything: action, romance, horror, and even weird cooking shows where people bake cakes shaped like trainers. It's that constant switch-up that makes it fun. Variety keeps people curious, and curiosity keeps people watching. Who can resist the 'Next Episode' button, anyway? It's practically hypnotic.
