The runtime for Illumination Entertainment’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie has reportedly been revealed. The upcoming Mario movie is quickly building up anticipation with Chris Pratt’s titular plumber set to take audiences on an adventure across the Mushroom Kingdom. Pratt is joined by an extensive voice cast including the likes of Anya Taylor-Joy (Princess Peach), Jack Black (Bowser), and Seth Rogen (Donkey Kong). The animated affair has seen a number of posters and trailers released as it approaches its debut in early April, but any specific plot details and an exact runtime have remained massive question marks....

Along with burgers, tacos, and fries, fast-food restaurants serve up mountains of paper, plastic, and Styrofoam waste every day. As fast-food chains expand into the global market, their branded trash proliferates around the planet. Are these chains doing anything to cut back or recycle? Is self-regulation enough, or do we need stronger laws on the books to govern daily fast-food waste? Vague Policies on Waste Reduction Both McDonald’s and PepsiCo (owner of KFC and Taco Bell) have crafted internal policies to address environmental concerns....

While Marvel Studios kicks back into gear with Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe on Disney+, there are multiple teams working on the franchise’s four theatrical releases in 2021 as well. Now that the release dates for those films are likely set into stone with the most recent update, fans are starting to build up hype again for sitting in a theater for the MCU’s next adventures. Included in that bunch is Spider-Man: No Way Home, which is potentially the most expansive solo film in the MCU’s 13-year history....

It’s not a big stretch to say that The Mandalorian is saving Star Wars right now. There are plenty of fans of the sequel trilogy - and for those who enjoyed the films, that’s great - but the trio of films left such a bad taste in many people’s mouths that they were ready to swear off Star Wars. The direction taken with the original heroes, the disjointed narrative, and the stripping of Anakin Skywalker’s legacy were seen by many as major mistakes on the part of Lucasfilm, especially if the goal was to create something “for the fans,” as George Lucas was told....

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker delivered a massive yet divisive finale to the Skywalker Saga last year, so it isn’t surprising that the movie is still one of the main subjects of discussion among Star Wars fans. A central topic of debate among fans is the unexpected return of Emperor Palpatine in Episode IX. In retrospect, it seems that the villain’s return was aimed to tie all the three trilogies together, ultimately placing Palpatine as the saga’s biggest villain....

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is right around the corner, and fans couldn’t be more excited. Ever since it was announced, anticipation has been at an all-time high—after all, who wouldn’t want to explore the many alternate realities that create all of existence? From the trailers alone, fans can see that the adventure is going to be quite unique; it could be potentially a bit messy as well, if the look of Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch is anything to go by....

It’s been a minute since the Avengers last assembled in 2019’s Endgame, and as fans eagerly await news about Avengers 5, a new MCU-themed experience is offering fans an idea of what that epic, crossover team-up will like. During the Avengers: Quantum Encounter mini-movie aboard Disney Cruise Line’s Worlds of Marvel restaurant, Ant-Man and the Wasp are joined by Sam Wilson’s Cap, Ms. Marvel, and Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel ahead of her upcoming 2023 sequel film....

Over the last 30 years, habitat loss for imperiled species in the U.S. was more than twice as great on non-protected private lands than on federally protected public lands. The idea behind protected natural areas is simple: Protect them in perpetuity from those oh-so destructive ways of humans. These lands run the gamut from National Parks and National Forests to National Monuments and the National Trails System, among many other designations, such as public lands....

Here’s a little experiment. Arrange the following six industries in order from worst to least polluting: coal/oil, tourism, beef, transportation, fracking, and fashion. Which are the worst offenders? It turns out that coal and oil take first place, followed by fashion. This discovery comes as a shock to most people, who do not make a connection between their clean clothes and a dirty industry. And yet, it’s something that we should all know more about, which is why British TV presenter and journalist Stacey Dooley made a short film about it....

With so much uncertainty lingering in the world right now, it’s become increasingly difficult to predict when Marvel Studios’ line-up of Disney+ shows will hit the popular streaming platform. Titles such as The Falcon and The Winter Soldier and WandaVision were scheduled to be released this year, August and December respectively. However, both of these shows had to shut down either filming and/or production due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Now, fans have been hounding Disney+ to confirm if these release dates are still set in stone....

Thunderstorms produce a lot of weird phenomena, many of which are easy to miss amid the urgency of lightning strikes, tornadoes or flash floods. But before a storm arrives, and sometimes just out of the blue, rare atmospheric quirks known as “roll clouds” command attention as they float ominously overhead. “It was amazing,” photographer Rob Sharrock told the Daily Mail in 2010, after spotting a roll cloud over Warrnambool, Australia. “I just looked up in the sky and said, ‘Bloody hell, what on Earth is that?...

How many times have you used a few sprigs from a bunch, only to watch the rest wither up and die? In a perfect world, we would all step out the back door to our kitchen garden and pick a few sprigs of fresh herbs to season a meal. Or we’d head over to our windowsill herb pots and pluck off a few leaves for said same purpose. At the very least, we would be able to buy fresh herbs from the market in single serving quantities....

Aside from the farm stands, antiquing trails and classic drive-ins, one of the biggest draws of New York’s Hudson Valley are the country estates, particularly in Duchess County. Once inhabited part-time by industrialists, socialites, politicians, artists, authors, and movers and shakers of all sorts, many of the palatial Gilded Age mansions perched high above the Hudson River now function as historic sites where visitors can take a step back in time and play Vanderbilt, if just for a couple of hours....

Avatar director James Cameron let fans in on his approach as he goes into post-production on Avatar 3.Cameron is in the middle of an immensely successful run with Avatar: The Way of Water, setting a new standard financially as he approaches his third $2 billion box office hit. But Cameron has no plans to rest on his laurels with the nearly $5 billion franchise, as plans for Avatar 3, 4, and 5 are already in motion....

The DCEU will further expand in the coming years by embracing the concept of the multiverse, ushering in an exciting new era for the up-and-coming franchise. As part of the transition, it was confirmed during DC FanDome that every live-action adaptation of DC characters that existed before will now fall under the same roof, and this will be made possible by Ezra Miller’s The Flash film that will be released in 2022....

Marvel Studios now approaches the finish line for the release of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, a feat that is certainly cause for celebration thanks to this sequel’s scale and expectations. However, even with a story that breaks the Multiverse open and introduces potentially dozens of new characters, the lead-up to its debut hasn’t come without its hiccups. Particularly in Phase 4 of the MCU, the franchise has made a more concerted effort than ever toward bringing much-needed representation to the big and small screen....

Let’s just admit it: even for those of us with the best of intentions for our pets, taking the dog out for a walk can sometimes feel like a chore. This is especially true for those of us who live in cities or suburban areas where we don’t have easy access to open fields to let them just go burn off steam. Walks are a required task for any dog owner; our dogs need this daily exercise and really, so do we....
