Avatar: The Way of Water director James Cameron has long had a reputation for being difficult to work with due to his obsessive and perfectionist tendencies, causing some problems on the productions he led.During the filming of the first Avatar, lead star Sam Worthington revealed that Cameron stapled cell phones to the wall with a nail gun if he heard them going off, with the actor telling Entertainment Weekly that “he [nails phones] above the exit, so you always remember when you go out....

James Gunn has had quite the last few years. The filmmaker started out in the superhero genre with Guardians of the Galaxy and its sequel, projects which transformed obscure names into extremely popular characters. But then came the bump in the road: Gunn was fired from Marvel Studios thanks to a Twitter scandal; many thought that was going to be the end of his career. Thankfully, that wasn’t the case. Not only did Disney eventually see the light, but Gunn was also able to create The Suicide Squad because of it—a project which led to him creating one of the most popular shows of this year in John Cena’s Peacemaker....

Collecting and saving leaves in scrapbooks and nature journals is a fun activity for families to do together, creating reminders of memorable hikes, camping trips, or walks at your local parks. Even with all the tree leaf identification resources available online today, you still can’t beat using a real, preserved leaf to assist you in looking up different types of trees and plants. Or you can document different colorings on the same trees from year to year in your own backyard, tracking how wet and hot the spring and summer were and noting the effect on the trees’ leaf colors that year....

Move over, Moon Knight. Marvel Studios’ next Disney+ origin story is here; and if Oscar Isaac’s series intentionally avoided MCU connections, Ms. Marvel has adopted the exact opposite approach. Debuting June 8 on Disney+, Ms. Marvel follows a sixteen-year-old Pakistani teen, Kamala Khan, as she navigates her way through high school, family and friends, and her future while also gaining superpowers. Created by Sana Amanat, G. Willow Wilson, and Adrian Alphona, Ms....

The most-talked about show online right now isn’t The Book of Boba Fett like one might think. No, instead, it’s Peacemaker. The HBO Max series, written and directed by James Gunn, stars John Cena, whose titular character takes the spotlight. After miraculously surviving the weight of an entire building and being shot in the neck, the former Suicide Squad member is recruited to be a hitman for ARGUS. While none of his teammates from The Suicide Squad have joined him for his new adventure, both Jennifer Holland and John Economos’ characters from the film crossover and play a key role....

Spider-Man: Far From Home ended on a cliffhanger, but it looks Spider-Man: No Way Home will be a different beast due to the multiverse-based rumors about the film. No Way Home will reunite Tom Holland’s web-slinger with the core mainstays of the franchise like Jacob Batalon’s Ned Leeds, Zendaya’s MJ, and Marisa Tomei’s Aunt May. However, in the past year, it looks like the main cast will be joined by a massive ensemble of stars from both the MCU and previous Spider-Man franchises from Sony....

The MCU fandom is on the edge of its collective seat right now thanks to a couple of new blasts on social media. Tom Holland and Jacob Batalon, two of the starring actors from Marvel and Sony’s Spider-Man 3, posted some of the first official stills from the film along with two different titles.

Without Marvel Comics, there would be no MCU, that’s for certain. As such, Marvel Studios has long sought to pay homage to its origins through Easter eggs, story adaptations, comic accuracy, and Stan Lee’s infamous cameos.While elements of the MCU seek to forge their own path, others opt to bring the source material to life, and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is one of those cases. The Disney+ legal comedy has brought the comics to life through its self-awareness, fourth-wall-breaking comedy, and its accurate adaptation of its titular star....

Known more for their timber buildings, they have also just completed a lovely structure in rammed earth. The architecture firm Waugh Thistleton has been on TreeHugger a number of times, as one of the leading proponents of wood construction. I met Andrew Waugh last weekend and toured some of his wood buildings. However, I was surprised to find out that they have worked with other unusual materials, including another TreeHugger favourite, rammed earth....

Fury of the Gods star Zachary Levi addressed his future with the franchise. Weeks after DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran pulled the curtain back on their new plans for the DCU, questions still remain surrounding a number of heroes, including Levi’s Shazam. In the lead-up to the new slate reveal, rumors of Levi’s DC departure had been swirling....

From bibimbap and brownies to pancakes and pizza, few kitchen tools are as versatile and sustainable as cast iron cookware. Cast iron cookware has made an incredible comeback over the last few years, which is great news. WIth the introduction of nonstick cookware in the 1960s, many cast iron skillets got sent to live in the garage with the camping gear. But as the infatuation with nonstick cookware started to fade, people started singing the praises of cast iron once again....

Raspberry Pi, a tiny, stripped-down $35 computer, hit the market in 2011 with the intention of helping promote basic computer science skills in schools. It has become the DIY gadget-maker’s go-to device. Tinkerers, hobbyists, educators and students — basically anyone who likes to build things — have taken to the Internet with project after project utilizing the Raspberry Pi. The little computer has controlled robots, reached the upper atmosphere in a weather balloon and become the building block for almost any gadget you can think of....

Things don’t look good on the climate change front on both the global and national levels, as the world’s superpowers continue to delay taking action toward reducing world greenhouse gas emissions and American politicians continue to debate the importance (or existence) of global warming. As depressing as things are at the top levels of governance, there are some bright rays of hope to be found in more local legislative bodies. Individual towns and cities are crafting their own responses to the challenges of human-induced climate change....

From almost the first moment that man started traveling beyond Earth’s atmosphere, we’ve been leaving behind all sorts of debris in space. Not only is it wasteful, but space junk can be dangerous as well - to satellites, to space stations, and when some of it plummets back to Earth, to human life on the ground. But there is no shortage of concepts for cleaning up the junk we’ve left behind in orbit, even if some of them seem far-fetched....

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever once featured a neat scene for Dominique Thorne’s Riri Williams that also served as a creative parallel to Tony Stark’s own journey in his MCU debut.One of the standout elements of Marvel’s most recent adventure to Wakanda was the introduction of a brilliant MIT student who happened to have created her own suit of armor alongside a Vibranium detector that made her a target of foreign nations, such as Namor’s Talokan....

Disposable diapers are one of those things that most greenies love to hate. But they’re still a common element in many people’s household waste—even many reusable diaper advocates will occasionally use disposables for the sake of convenience. To add to the complication, every now and then somebody trots out a statistic to argue that disposables are as green as reusables, once you factor in energy and water use for washing, drying and manufacture....
