Shang-Chi’s Ten Rings Might Be More Powerful Than Thor’s Mjölnir
A recent Shang-Chi teaser has hinted that the Ten Rings might be even more powerful than Thor‘s hammer, Mjölnir. Jiang Nan (Michelle Yeoh), Shang-Chi’s (Simu Liu) aunt, can be seen explaining that the Ten Rings are “stronger than anything in your universe” as clips of Tony Stark’s Iron Man suit, Thor’s Mjölnir and even the Hulk play over.

In footage debuted at CinemaCon via The Hollywood Reporter, the feature detailed how Tom Cruise prepared for arguable the most “dangerous” stunt for Mission: Impossible 7. According to Christopher McQuarrie, director of the Mission: Impossible 7, the stunt is considered to be highly risky. Cruise had to train one year prior to filming the stunt in order to perfect it.

Cruise comments on the stunt, “This is far and away the most dangerous thing I’ve attempted; we’ve been working on this for years.

Tom Cruise Has Had His BMW Stolen Whilst Filming ‘Mission: Impossible 7’
After a number of near-fatal stunts and COVID-19 calling proceedings to a halt earlier this year, filming for the latest instalment of Mission: Impossible has not been straightforward, to say the least. Now, as things begin to build momentum ahead of next year’s release, it’s today been reported that Tom Cruise’s BMW X7 has been stolen from outside Birmingham’s Grand Hotel, while the actor himself was filming. While it has since announced that the vehicle had been recovered a short time after the incident by the local police, the “thousands of pounds of luggage” that was said to be in the car is still missing. Christopher McQuarrie’s Mission: Impossible 7 — which was initially set to release in July 2021 — is now slated to be dropping in May 2022. In related news, Cruise has reportedly don...

Halsey Releases ‘If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power’ Album: Stream It Now
The If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power album artwork depicts the regal-looking “Castle” singer sitting on a Game of Thrones-like golden throne and holding a baby (not their newborn) on their lap while exposing their breast, serving as a nod to the Madonna-whore psychological complex of how women are perceived as either motherly figures whose bodies are vessels for childbearing or sexual beings. In the caption of the Instagram post, the 26-year-old artist explains how they believe both ideas “can co-exist peacefully and powerfully.” Halsey also described the album as being “a concept album about the joys and horrors of pregnancy and childbirth. It was very important to me that the cover art conveyed the sentiment of my journey over the past few ...

Are Posthumous Album Releases Unethical?
The topic of posthumous releases have been an ongoing debate amongst the music industry for some time. In the last year, releases from recently-deceased artists have seen an uptick and a list that includes Pop Smoke, Juice WRLD, Lil Peep and many more are at the center of the conversation. It has extended beyond music, too: the subject of how to appropriately manage a late artist’s estate came to the forefront again this week, after a previously-unseen painting by Jean-Michel Basquiat appeared in a Tiffany and Co. campaign alongside JAY-Z and Beyoncé. Many art admirers took to social media in an uproar calling the use of the painting in an advertisement to be tasteless, with some claiming that the advertisement watered down the meaning of the art piece as well as Jean-Michel Basquiat as an...
