Venom: Let There Be Carnage, the sequel to 2018’s Venom starring Tom Hardy, finally made its theatrical debut; although the road to its release has been one of false starts and detours. Originally slated for an October 2, 2020 release, Venom 2 was bumped to June 25, 2021 due to COVID-19 before being bumped again to September 17, 2021. Oddly enough, that was only the start. The title Let There Be Carnage more aptly describes Sony’s calendar and marketing department in the following weeks and months as the sequel was moved again to September 24 and then October 15 of this year before finally settling on its October 1 debut....

A missing Iowa border collie recently turned up in an unlikely place: up a neighbor’s tree. Laddy was rescued from the 10-foot perch and returned to his owner, who said that Laddy loves to chase squirrels and likely chased one up the tree. The idea of a tree-climbing dog might seem odd, but such dogs aren’t that uncommon. Some breeds are more known for their climbing skills than others, but it often comes down to the dog’s personality — and what else is up that tree....

Over the next few years, Marvel Studios is set to finally deliver its own interpretation of Marvel’s First Family with the upcoming Fantastic Four movie, which is still in the early stages of development. Fans are hoping that this new solo film finally does justice to this team after two interpretations in the 21st century already, the last one being one of the worst-received superhero movies of all time. Although director Josh Trank didn’t have the opportunity to truly make this his own movie due to studio interference, 2015’s Fantastic Four didn’t live up to any sort of expectations as it bombed both critically and financially....

Great use of recycled and repurposed materials, too. We love cross-laminated timber (CLT) because building with wood stores carbon. But there is more to it than that – there is an elegance and simplicity to the way CLT panels go together. That’s one of the reasons to love this new house in Fernie, BC, built by Jake Christiansen. © Jake Christiansen/ view from loftFernie is ski country, and ski chalets have often been lined with wood; it just feels warm and cozy....

My neighbor is starting to put her vegetable garden to bed, and she pulled several eggplants on Sunday. She gave me two nice-sized eggplants, but I had no use for them this week so I decided to bread, fry and freeze them to use for Eggplant Parmesan at a later date. Another option would have been to make Roasted Eggplant Soup and freeze it, but I decided to go with the fried eggplant instead....

While there were plenty before Blade, X-Men, Spider-Man, those are the films that truly brought the genre into the public sphere (and the X-Men films, of course). Then came Warner Brother’s Nolan Batman films—an all-around crowd favorite. But something bigger was born from those early Marvel films: Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige. His original work on those films is what led to his position at Marvel Studios, a place where the now world-famous producer would go on to create one of the biggest things to ever exist in cinematic history: the Marvel Cinematic Universe....
