While Oscar Isaac most recently came back into the public eye as Marc Spector and his alters in Marvel Studios’ Moon Knight, he’s also well-known for his time in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. The Guatemalan star took the spotlight in the galaxy far, far away by playing Poe Dameron from 2015 to 2019, although he hasn’t been seen since the franchise moved toward the streaming world.Isaac has been open to a potential comeback in the Star Wars Universe as the memorable fighter pilot, even though the movie side of the Star Wars saga is more up in the air than ever before in this day and age....

Soon, Marvel Studios will make its long-awaited return to mainstream media with Oscar Isaac’s Moon Knight. Making the transition from playing Star Wars’ Poe Dameron into the expanding Marvel universe, Isaac has the opportunity to deliver one of the franchise’s darkest and most intriguing heroes to date in his own solo series. Although this series will mark Isaac’s debut as the former mercenary turned mystical superhero, there’s no telling where his story will continue after these six episodes....

In the Australian Design Review, and repeated in Arch Daily, Australian architect Chris Knapp writes about The End of Prefabrication. I was going to do a critique of the article, (there is a lot to critique!) but after I tweeted that I was going to look at it I got a reply from Knapp that changed the discussion. The last line of the article is an expansion of that thought:...

After over thirteen years of films and series, the popularity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is arguably the highest its ever been. Following the introduction of the MCU’s multiverse in Loki, Phase 4 looks to be changing the game of the MCU, opening doors to things never previously thought to be possible. It is this newfound opportunity that has left anticipation for December’s Spider-Man: No Way Home so high. With Alfred Molina and Jamie Foxx confirmed to reprise their historic wall-crawling villain roles as Doc Ock and Electro respectively, rumors are flying that the multiverse-centric blockbuster holds far more surprises....

It’s been a while since Star Wars: Rogue Squadron received its last status update. The last time the film made the news rounds was for unfavorable reasons: reports circulated that Patty Jenkins’ film had been delayed indefinitely. Rogue Squadron is still scheduled for a December 2023 release on Disney’s slate, but there’s been no official update on the status of the project. One of many questions surrounding this movie is if Patty Jenkins herself remains in the director’s chair....

We have seen so many photoshopped dreams that it is wonderful to see one turn into reality. Remember that scene in Galaxy Quest, when Captain Nesmith finally contacts Brandon and admits that it’s not just a set and a TV show, “It’s real!” Well, by Grabthar’s Hammer, the same can now be said about the Ecocapsule, a prefab off-grid solar and wind powered tiny home. © It’s real! People in the ecocapsule via InhabitatWhen we first covered the Ecocapsule, designed by Bratislava-based Nice Architects, I had doubts that it would ever be anything but vaporware....

One of the most anticipated upcoming projects for Marvel fans is easily the Loki Disney+ show. After having been killed in Avengers: Infinity War, fans still wanted more of Tom Hiddleston’s God of Mischief—and Marvel chose to deliver just that. Thanks to a hiccup during Avengers: Endgame’s time heist, a new branch of reality was born, bringing with it an opportunity for more Loki adventures. The trailers for the Disney+ show have offered a good tease of what is to come....

Back when Sony first started creating Venom, it was to the ire of many fans across the world. After all, what is Venom without Spider-Man? Well, like it or not, Sony found the answer in Tom Hardy’s interpretation of the character. The film hit theaters receiving a lukewarm reaction, but it was successful enough for its sequel Venom: Let There Be Carnage to get the green light. The sequel’s most recent trailer showed plenty of Carnage, showcasing what seems to be a fantastic design for the character—much better than the glimpses seen in the first trailer....

Three years, six Disney+ shows, and five theatrical films later, Marvel fans are finally about to catch up with Thor Odinson in Marvel Studios’ Thor: Love and Thunder. While it’s true that promotion for Thor 4 has just begun, what the studio has revealed so far has been surprisingly revealing, particularly in terms of the current state of Chris Hemsworth’s Thor and the return of Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster as Mighty Thor....

Clicker training has been the best thing I have discovered for training my dog. So what is it? It is simply positive reinforcement with rewards, but at a speed the dog understands. Clicker training is simply using a sound marker to tell a dog at the exact moment when he’s done something you approve of, with a reward that comes quickly after the sound marker. Usually, we are too slow with our rewards for the dog to clearly know just what we are rewarding, so training can go slowly and be frustrating for both of you....

But just because jewelry can make your clothes look new doesn’t mean it needs to be made of new materials: Add pieces from these designers to your collection and – whether you like chunky bracelets or delicate necklaces, heavy rings or simple stud earrings – you’ll up your style cred instantly....

When life gives you abundant peaches, berries, and more, use them in every meal! Welcome to that glorious time of year when there is excess fruit kicking around the kitchen. These days I load up on so many cherries, raspberries, peaches, tiny yellow plums, and melons at the farmers’ market that, despite eating far more fruit than usual, my family still has lots left over. Then, because it ripens so quickly in the hot weather, I get to cook and bake with it, concocting delicious fruit-based dishes, some of which keep in the freezer and offer a tantalizing taste of summer once the season is long past....

This lovely little home was built for a woman who wants to be closer to her loved ones, without losing her autonomy. It’s no secret that mortgage-free tiny houses are offering a growing number of people greater financial and psychological freedom – whether they are living by themselves, or as couples or even families. But when designed thoughtfully, adaptable tiny houses can be one way for the elderly to keep their independence too, allowing them to gracefully age in place....

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is set to take a deep dive into the mysterious Quantum Realm, which means that more threats will potentially crossover into the real world. Directed by Peyton Reed, the MCU threequel will showcase the return of Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang and Evangeline Lilly’s Hope van Dyne. Given that the pair’s reunion was only briefly featured during Avengers: Endgame, the film is expected to explore the ramifications of Hope’s disappearance alongside Michael Douglas’ Hank Pym and Michelle Pfeiffer’s Janet van Dyne....

Many even speculated that he would be recast as Lobo, a character he adores.So one journalist finally asked which one Momoa would play....

Marvel Studios’ She-Hulk: Attorney at Law has proven itself to be arguably the MCU project that touches on real-world pop culture phenomena more than any entry to date. While Eternals confirmed the existence of both Batman and Superman before Ms. Marvel indicated that the MCU has its own version of the Marvel brand, She-Hulk takes this idea to a new level.Episode 1 showed Jennifer Walters’ knowledge of Pixar movies when she suggested using Inside Out to help push her over her emotional limits and make her Hulk out....
