Amazon Flex delivery driver Eric Elrod (@deycallmeel) outed a colleague for marking packages as missing and undeliverable. In a viral TikTok that’s accrued more than 226,000 views on the popular social media platform, he records a worker hovering over a cart of parcels. A device is in the worker’s hands and the clip appears to have been captured in a storage facility.

“Look at this,” Wavy says at the onset of his clip. According to a caption in his post, the Amazon Flex Delivery driver is marking a multitude of packages as being undelivered. Furthermore he claims that at least two other delivery drivers for the online retailer returned a slew of boxes back to the warehouse too.

A woman’s horrific experience at a Phoenix Target may have led her to forgo shopping in person for life. TikToker Jaz (@realbadjaz) issued a PSA for women in a 9-minute video relaying how she was secretly recorded without her consent–and women rallied everywhere for Jaz to get justice.

As of Saturday, her story has earned more than 700,000 views on the platform.

A woman says she found something in her cheeseburger that should never be there: a pill. When she showed staff, she says they essentially shrugged it off.

Now her TikTok of the unsettling experience is going viral.

I am someone who loves movies. I always look for something to enjoy and when a movie truly consumes me and takes over my ever waking thought, that’s how you know it is perfect. And that’s what happened one year ago today with Hit Man.

The Richard Linklater film took the true story of fake hit man Gary Johnson and brought it to audiences with a romantic comedy twist. While I am a fan of Linklater’s work, I think Hit Man really took the title of his best work for me. Yes, I am including my 20+ year love of School of Rock in that. But there is something just so special about what Linklater and star and co-writer Glen Powell did with this movie.

One woman was surprised to tune into Love Island Season 7 and see a man she claims was her high school bully. 

“[No expletive] way!” Sky (@skysdaynknights) exclaims in a viral TikTok posted by Angela Juarez (@angeladjuarezz). “He literally used to bully me.”

Here is an extremely incomplete list of songs that were written, produced and/or performed by Pharrell Williams: “Alright” (Kendrick Lamar), “Hot in Herre” (Nelly), “Blurred Lines” (Robin Thicke), “Hollaback Girl” (Gwen Stefani), “Get Lucky” (Daft Punk), “Milkshake” (Kelis), “Shake Ya A–” (Mystikal), “Rock Your Body” (Justin Timberlake), “I’m a Slave 4 U” (Britney Spears), and “Happy” (Pharrell Williams).

Until I watched Piece by Piece (aka, the Pharrell documentary that’s animated entirely as LEGO), I was unaware of just how influential the Virginia-born artist really was. We all know “Happy,” of course, and most of us are probably aware that Pharrell was in the hip-hop group N.E.R.D. and produced a few hit songs. However, Piece by Piece makes a convincing case that he might just be the most influential musician of modern times. It’s also, even more surprisingly, a great documentary that uses its unique LEGO-focused format to push the entire genre in a smart new direction. This makes it a worthwhile watch for any documentary fans (even if they’re not into hip-hop).

The Phoenician Scheme is Wes Anderson’s latest film and it puts Benicio del Toro in a leading role! The adventure film has del Toro as Zsa-Zsa, a wealthy man determined to make his mission come true by recruiting millionaires to help.

In preparation for the film’s release, we spoke with del Toro, Michael Cera, and Mia Threapleton about the film and one of the most important parts of any Wes Anderson film: The costumes. The look of an Anderson film is part of why fans have loved his work for so long and with The Phoenician Scheme, it really gave audiences a glimpse into why his style works so well.

We live in a world of remakes and that includes classics like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. As a girl with a fear of the sound of chainsaws, it is a horror movie that actually does terrify me to no end. But a new one is intriguing.

Rumors began swirling in March of this year that a new one was brewing. Now, according to Deadline, there is a bidding war for the film. That includes some creatives who want to tackle a remake of the film and some options are decidedly better than others. Out of the creatives, it is easy to know why I am interested in one pairing.

https://www.themarysue.com/?p=887407

When it comes to classic literature, the classics can be hit or miss. Sometimes a “classic” is groundbreaking novel that truly stands the test of time, other times it’s a book that reads like something you Sparknotes’d your way through in high school English. While not every novel hailed as “great” is actually so, these time tested sci-fi novels are certified bangers even in the modern era – and will stay that way for decades to come. These are the 10 best classic sci-fi books that still hold up.

Brave New World

Aldous Huxley modified the meaning of “dystopia” when he wrote Brave New World. When you think of the term, I’m sure your mind jumps to an Orwellian police state or a Handmaid’s Tale style theocracy. Brave New World‘s London is none of these things – it’s an on paper paradise… for some. Society has advanced to a point where genetic engineering has been perfected, and human beings are created to fulfill social roles. The select few that rule society are free to enjoy a life of pleasure, made all the more euphoric by the mood stabilizing drugs that they take on the daily. Menial labor meanwhile is performed by people who are mentally engineered to do so – simpleminded humans who can’t conceptualize of a live beyond picking up garbage or operating an elevator. While society is free from violence and want, Brave New World is an example of how toxic ideologies pertaining to eugenics and social stratification can create dystopia without a single bullet being fired – a dystopia upheld by the opiate of simple pleasures.

The world of John Wick has brought fans a lot of high action scenes, characters we have come to love, and a universe that is now expanding. In comes Ballerina, a movie about Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas) and the Ruska Roma.

“Fight like a girl” is a theme throughout the movie. It is, in a lot of ways, one of the only times I’ve heard the statement and not cringed at the idea. Often, we’re told that fighting like a girl is a bad thing. But Ballerina challenges that idea with Eve. It was never a “bad” thing to fight like a girl. If anything, it makes Eve stronger.
