12-year-old Star Wars child actor Jake Lloyd says that he is retiring from acting forever due to nonstop harassment from adult Star Wars fans, including death threats and sexually-explicit messages.

A lot of people are describing Project Hail Mary as "dumbed-down Interstellar", but isn't that basically the movie we've all wanted since watching Interstellar.

Andrew Yang reveals he felt like a failure his entire 20s and didn't make it until he was 34 "I started a company that flopped, then another company didn't work out, I still owed six figures in law school loans, and my parents would literally lie about what I did professionally. I felt very insecure and like a failure for years. I didn't become a success until I was 34 and didn't really hit my stride until 30. If someone found me at 29 they'd be like I don't know where this is going. Then you find me at 34 and it's like oh, it's fine."

So, I watched The Substance last night. I gotta say, it's really good. I love the use of sound and it gets crazy with the body horror. My biggest gripe is that it didn't know when to end. The last 15 minutes or so are a waste of time and diminished an already great movie. We got the message loud and clear at the start of the film. We didn't need whatever the last 15 minutes were trying to do.

Jurassic Park novelist Michael Critchton on why he would have been delighted if feminism died: "In the same way there are fashion victims in terms of clothing, there are fashion victims in terms of ideas, and there are still victims of feminism. A lot of children are victims of an era when women declared their independence from men, saying they no longer needed them: 'A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.' Women could do it by themselves. Well, the idea dovetailed rather nicely for a lot of young men who didn't want to be needed in the first place. They didn't want to be committed to a family just because they got a girl pregnant, for instance, so it was convenient when women were saying men weren't needed. The idea that men didn't want responsibility wasn't new, but suddenly women were saying, 'Yeah, we don't need you!' and men were responding, 'Great, goodbye,' and they were on to the next conquest. But the kids who were left behind were victims of that fashion. There are many children raised without fathers and they have suffered. I'm not saying we should go back to the Fifties--as if we could. All I'm saying is that it's frivolous to pretend kids don't need to be raised. They do." How right was he?

The Star Wars prequels despite their charm hurt Star Wars by George Lucas having no sense of scale. The Galactic Senate is comically large.
