🎉 THE A-TEAM rolled onto screens 42-years ago

The show’s unforgettable theme tune was composed by Mike Post, who also crafted the signature music for other classics like THE ROCKFORD FILES, MAGNUM P.I., HILL STREET BLUES, L.A. LAW, and QUANTUM LEAP. Talk about a hitmaker!
This iconic image is from the TV show THE A-TEAM, showcasing the core group of the team. Standing from left to right, we have Dirk Benedict as Templeton “Faceman” Peck, the smooth-talking conman dressed in a stylish light blue blazer, beige pants, and a pink pocket square that screams 80s suave. Next is Dwight Schultz as H.M. “Howling Mad” Murdock, sporting a casual denim jacket and cap, looking like he’s ready for mischief or to fly anything that moves (though you’d have to sedate B.A. first). Below them, George Peppard as John “Hannibal” Smith is front and center in his signature tan trench coat and a friendly smile that says he loves when a plan comes together. Finally, Mr. T as B.A. Baracus stands proudly on the right, rocking his legendary gold chains, a sleeveless top to show off those muscles, and a look that says he definitely pities the fool who crosses him. The background is a simple blue, keeping the focus on the team, who look ready for action, hijinks, and probably a very dramatic van explosion. It’s a photo brimming with 80s charm and just enough camp to make you grin.

🎉 MYTHBUSTERS premiered 22-years ago

The show once tested a combination of common materials that resulted in an extremely powerful explosive. They deleted the footage and contacted DARPA to warn them about the potential misuse of the combination.
This is an image of the cast from the TV show MYTHBUSTERS, a series famous for tackling urban legends and science myths with a mix of explosions, experiments, and good-natured chaos. From left to right: Grant Imahara, Adam Savage, Kari Byron, Jamie Hyneman, and Tory Belleci stand together in a workshop filled with tools, shelves, and industrial equipment in the background. Grant, in a black button-up shirt and jeans, radiates a “cool tech guy” vibe. Adam, with his iconic glasses and big smile, sports a black sweater and jeans, looking ready to break something (intentionally, of course). Kari, dressed in a sleek black vest and jeans with knee-high boots, exudes both style and “don’t-mess-with-me” energy. Jamie, the ever-serious beret-wearing myth-busting guru, rocks his usual white shirt and khakis—proving you can be a legend and practical at the same time. Tory, in a casual gray shirt and jeans, grins as if he’s about to suggest blowing something up “just to see what happens.” The mood is upbeat, and the setting is unmistakably their workshop—a place where science, curiosity, and mayhem come together. You can almost hear the sound of duct tape being unrolled and plans for the next big experiment being hatched!

❤️ Remembering Eartha Kitt on their Birthday🎂

1927-2008

She spoke four languages and sang in eleven, showcasing her linguistic prowess in many live performances

She was an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, frequently performing at benefit events for HIV/AIDS organizations
Eartha Kitt shines as Catwoman in the 1960s TV series BATMAN. In this iconic shot, she’s seated in her villainous getaway car, radiating pure feline fierceness. Dressed in a shimmering black catsuit adorned with cat ears, a dramatic mask, and a lavish jeweled necklace, she points a golden gun with a look of confident menace. Beside her, her feline companion sits on the car’s edge, looking as if it’s unbothered by her devious plans, perfectly in character as the ultimate cool sidekick. Together, they are a duo of criminal glam. In Disney’s THE EMPEROR’S NEW GROOVE, Eartha Kitt voices Yzma, the hilariously sinister villain. This animated masterpiece captures Yzma’s larger-than-life personality with her wildly exaggerated grin, complete with arched eyebrows, long lashes, and an extravagant purple feathered outfit. Her expression screams, “Evil plan brewing!” but with a comedic flair that only Kitt could deliver. The oversized earrings and dramatic headpiece add to her over-the-top charm, making her the diva of animated villainy. In the 1960s TV series MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, Eartha Kitt takes on the role of a cunning spy with effortless grace. Wearing a sleek, dark jumpsuit, she’s fully immersed in a high-stakes operation, her focused expression hinting at the brilliance of her next move. With a gadget in hand and a shadow falling on the wall behind her, the atmosphere is charged with intrigue. She’s not just working undercover—she’s stealing every bit of the scene with her cool and composed demeanor. Eartha Kitt dazzles in BOOMERANG, exuding elegance and charm in a stunning red gown that sparkles under the light. The plunging neckline and perfectly matched ruby jewelry make her the picture of sophistication. With a radiant smile and playful confidence, she commands the luxurious setting, complete with a floral backdrop, as though it were her personal stage. Kitt’s magnetic presence proves that she doesn’t just wear red; she owns it.

🎉 STAR TREK: VOYAGER began its journey home 30-years ago

Kate Mulgrew was not the original choice for Captain Janeway; Geneviève Bujold was initially cast but left after two days of filming

The series won seven Emmy Awards during its run, primarily for its outstanding special effects and makeup
This is a promotional photo for STAR TREK: VOYAGER featuring the iconic crew of the starship Voyager. Front and center is Captain Kathryn Janeway, played by Kate Mulgrew, rocking her Starfleet uniform with a commanding gaze that reflects her unwavering leadership. To her left is Jeri Ryan as Seven of Nine, wearing her sleek, futuristic purple bodysuit and showing off her signature Borg implant, making assimilation look like a fashion statement. To Janeway’s right stands Roxann Dawson as B’Elanna Torres, the half-Klingon engineer whose scowl suggests she’s had just about enough of malfunctioning warp cores for one lifetime. Behind them, Robert Picardo as The Doctor looks as serious as a hologram can, perhaps calculating how many hyposprays he needs for the week. Beside him, Ethan Phillips as Neelix gives off cheerful vibes with his quirky alien outfit that screams “head chef and morale officer.” Standing tall next to Neelix is Robert Beltran as Commander Chakotay, with his tattoo and steady demeanor silently reminding you he’s both spiritual and tactical. Tim Russ as Tuvok is on the far right, exuding Vulcan calm and logic, probably mentally calculating the odds of another anomaly ruining his day. Finally, Garrett Wang as Harry Kim and Robert Duncan McNeill as Tom Paris round out the crew in their sharp Starfleet uniforms, looking like they’re ready to boldly go—or at least argue over who gets to pilot the Delta Flyer. The background is a sleek futuristic blur of blues and metallic tones, setting the mood for intergalactic adventures. The overall vibe of the photo is serious professionalism with a hint of camaraderie.

🎉 THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE premiered 10-years ago

The series was Amazon’s most successful original show

Extensive research was conducted to blend World War II Nazi and Imperial Japanese cultures with 1950s American culture, creating a unique alternate dystopian world for the series
Alexa Davalos as Juliana Crain in THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE is caught in a moment of intense concentration as she speaks into a vintage rotary payphone. Dressed in a dark green coat with a minimalist golden watch on her wrist, her expression is a mix of worry and determination. The background is hazy, hinting at urban decay, with cracked glass subtly framing the scene. The payphone cord adds a retro charm, reminding us of simpler times when dropped calls were literal drops of the receiver. Rufus Sewell as John Smith in THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE exudes a chillingly composed authority as he lounges in a leather chair, dressed immaculately in his black SS uniform adorned with medals and insignias. The subtle smirk on his face hints at both intelligence and menace. The dark wood-paneled room in the background adds an air of vintage sophistication, but let’s face it, you wouldn’t want to be called into his office unless you were confident about your excuses. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa as Trade Minister Nobusuke Tagomi in THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE sits in a dignified posture, wearing a formal Japanese military uniform complete with gold braids and medals. His expression is serene yet commanding, while his subordinate beside him appears deep in thought. The background is filled with other uniformed individuals, creating a solemn and ceremonial atmosphere. It’s the kind of gathering where losing your place in the protocol manual could be seriously embarrassing. Alexa Davalos as Juliana Crain and Luke Kleintank as Joe Blake share a quiet moment in THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE, standing against a backdrop of weathered propaganda posters on a crumbling wall. Juliana, in her dark green coat, and Joe, sporting a brown leather jacket, both hold bottles of bright orange soda, lending a casual air to their conversation. Their expressions suggest a mix of curiosity and unease—because even in alternate history, finding a quiet spot to chat comes with its share of drama.

🎉 Happy Birthday, Emily Watson! 🎂

She has earned two Academy Award nominations for BREAKING THE WAVES and HILARY AND JACKIE. She won a BAFTA for APPROPRIATE ADULT, a SAG Award for GOSFORD PARK, and an Emmy nomination for CHERNOBYL
Emily Watson as Reverend Mother Mohiam in DUNE: PROPHECY embodies a presence so powerful it feels like she could stop a sandworm with a single glare. Her piercing eyes seem to say, “I’ve seen the future, and you’re not going to like it.” Surrounded by shadowy figures, she’s clearly the one in charge, exuding wisdom and authority. You half expect her to utter something cryptic like, “The spice must flow, but only if I say so.” It’s a moment heavy with tension, as if the entire galaxy is waiting on her next move—or maybe she’s just deciding what prophecy to drop for dramatic effect. Emily Watson as Mary in EQUILIBRIUM exudes quiet strength and vulnerability, framed against a stark, metallic backdrop that mirrors the dystopian world she inhabits. Her loose, wavy hair and thoughtful expression are at odds with the rigid, emotionless society around her, making her look like a rebel poet who’s just waiting for the right moment to unleash her inner fire. Her eyes are filled with both sadness and defiance, like someone who’s read too many banned books and refuses to apologize for it. Emily Watson as Lena in PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE radiates a soft charm, her bright blue eyes twinkling as though she knows a joke you don’t—but she might just tell you if you’re nice. She’s wearing a simple yet elegant top, and her short, layered hair adds a playful edge to her sweet demeanor. The warm lighting and slightly blurred background give the scene an intimate, dreamy quality, as if she’s about to whisper something profound—or hilariously awkward. Emily Watson as Lyudmilla Ignatenko in CHERNOBYL is the embodiment of quiet resilience and sorrow. Her soft, natural makeup and modest outfit—a cream-colored jacket with a patterned blouse—highlight her as an ordinary woman in extraordinary circumstances. The sunlight filters into the room behind her, casting a golden glow that contrasts sharply with the heavy emotional weight in her eyes. She looks like she’s just lived through a nightmare and is bracing herself for the next storm, but there’s still a spark of determination in her expression that refuses to be extinguished.

❤️ Remembering Carl Weathers on their Birthday🎂

1948-2024

While auditioning for the role of Apollo Creed alongside Sylvester Stallone in ROCKY, Weathers criticized Stallone’s acting, which led to him getting the role
Carl Weathers, in his iconic role as Apollo Creed from ROCKY, strikes a triumphant pose with his fists raised high, donning gleaming white boxing gloves with bold red accents. His chiseled, oiled-up physique glistens under the bright studio lights, exuding confidence and the attitude of a true heavyweight champion. The plain blue background seems to give up trying to compete with his undeniable charisma, leaving all the focus on the man who looks like he was carved out of granite. Carl Weathers as Greef Karga in THE MANDALORIAN holds the adorable Grogu (a.k.a. Baby Yoda) in his arms, looking equal parts regal and ready for business. Dressed in a deep red and gold ensemble that screams “space royalty,” he commands respect while managing to give off the vibe of a galactic grandpa who just scored babysitting duties. Grogu, meanwhile, is living his best life in his cozy robe, probably hoping for snacks. Carl Weathers as Dillon in PREDATOR is in the middle of some serious jungle action, holding not one but two guns because one would simply be inadequate for this level of badassery. Decked out in a sleeveless military vest that showcases his ridiculously muscular arms, he peers into the dense foliage with the intensity of a man who knows something horrifying is out there. The jungle around him is thick, green, and foreboding, but Dillon looks ready to take on whatever—or whoever—dares to challenge him. Carl Weathers as Chubbs Peterson in HAPPY GILMORE leans in to share some heartfelt golfing advice with Adam Sandler, who looks slightly skeptical, as is his usual style. Chubbs is rocking a casual yet classic look with a white polo, a yellow cardigan draped over his shoulders, and a newsboy cap that gives him an air of wisdom. His wooden hand makes an understated yet memorable appearance, a reminder of his dramatic run-in with an alligator. The golf course in the background is peaceful, contrasting hilariously with the chaos we all know is about to unfold.

🎉 TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES blasted on to screens 17-years ago

With $3.8m* per episode budget for Season 1, the show’s creators drew inspiration from the original TERMINATOR’s modest $18.2m* production budget on how the scale the show and shape the storyline

*Adjusted for inflation
This is a promotional image for TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES, featuring three central characters in an action-packed pose that screams, “We’re here to save the world… or destroy it, depending on who’s asking.” On the left is Summer Glau as Cameron, a Terminator, holding a large futuristic pistol with an expression that says, “I might be a machine, but I still have better hair than you.” She’s dressed in a sleek black leather outfit that is both intimidating and stylish, with a belt that looks ready to double as a weapon. In the center, Lena Headey portrays Sarah Connor, the ultimate warrior mom, wielding a hefty shotgun adorned with extra shells. Her determined gaze is matched by her tactical black gear, which says, “I’m ready to fight robots and bad fashion.” On the right, Thomas Dekker plays John Connor, the teenager destined to lead the resistance. He’s sporting a gray hoodie, giving off peak “reluctant hero” vibes while trying not to be overshadowed by his badass companions. The background is dark and industrial, adding a dramatic tone that feels appropriately apocalyptic. It’s clear this trio is ready for action, and no one is safe—except maybe their stylist.

🎉 A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS premiered on Netflix 8-years ago

Neil Patrick Harris, who portrays Count Olaf, performed the show’s theme song, “Look Away”

Count Olaf’s eye tattoo was temporary in Season 1, but Neil Patrick Harris got it permanently inked before filming Season 2
This promotional image for the TV show A Series of Unfortunate Events (2017) is full of quirky characters and a distinct sense of melodramatic chaos. At the center is Neil Patrick Harris as the villainous Count Olaf, rocking his signature scowl and furrowed brow that could scare even the bravest librarian. His shabby gray coat perfectly matches his scheming personality. Behind him, fire and destruction blaze in the background, because, you know, nothing says “unfortunate” like arson. Flanking Olaf are the Baudelaire siblings: Malina Weissman as Violet, Louis Hynes as Klaus, and Presley Smith as Sunny (though baby Sunny doesn’t seem to have made this particular shot—probably off biting something). Violet looks contemplative in her purple dress, Klaus stares thoughtfully in his sharp gray suit and glasses, probably plotting their next escape. To Olaf’s right, Lucy Punch shines as the overly dramatic Esmé Squalor in a hot pink ensemble that’s as over-the-top as her schemes. Meanwhile, Patrick Warburton, as the ever-droll narrator Lemony Snicket, watches on with his unflappable deadpan expression. Tony Hale and K. Todd Freeman add to the eccentric mix with their hilariously clueless or concerned expressions. The mood is ominous yet oddly humorous, with a visual style that screams “unfortunate whimsy.” The entire ensemble feels like they’re just one Snicket-narrated tragedy away from total mayhem. And honestly, who doesn’t love a little doom served with flair?

🎉 BATMAN jumping unto TV sets 59-years ago

The series was initially planned as an hour-long show, but ABC split it into two half-hour episodes airing on consecutive nights, giving rise to the famous cliffhanger catchphrase, “Same Bat-time, same Bat-channel!”
This image features Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin from the classic 1966 BATMAN TV series. Both characters are in their iconic costumes, with Batman sporting his blue and gray suit complete with the bat emblem on his chest, a dark cape, and that unforgettable cowl with the arched eyebrows drawn on for extra flair. Robin is dressed in his bright red and green ensemble, accented by his yellow cape, black mask, and a bold “R” logo on his chest. The duo is standing outdoors under sunny skies, with lush greenery visible in the background, suggesting they’re either about to tackle a supervillain or possibly enjoying a quick break in Gotham’s finest park. Their serious expressions suggest crime-fighting is no joke—but come on, those costumes? Pure campy gold. You can almost hear Robin exclaiming, “Holy spandex, Batman!”

🎉 METROPOLIS turns 98-year old today

Its special effects were pioneering, including miniatures, a swinging camera, and the Schüfftan process, which used mirrors to create the illusion of actors on miniature sets

Adjusted for inflation, Metropolis’ budget is $19-$25 million US dollars
This is the iconic poster for the 1927 silent sci-fi classic Metropolis, directed by Fritz Lang. Front and center is Maria’s robotic doppelgänger, the Maschinenmensch, her metallic visage glinting ominously. The robot’s blank, piercing eyes seem to stare into your soul—or at least into your popcorn bucket. The background features towering, angular skyscrapers and bridges, embodying the futuristic yet dystopian cityscape of Metropolis. The title “METROPOLIS” looms above in sharp, Art Deco-style lettering, radiating dramatic energy like a futuristic neon sign. The golden hues give everything a grand, almost divine glow, but don’t let that fool you—this city isn’t exactly heaven on Earth. It’s more like a glamorous nightmare where robots might just steal your job and your identity.

🎉 Happy Birthday, J.K. Simmons! 🎂

He portrayed J. Jonah Jameson in Sam Raimi’s SPIDER-MAN trilogy and reprised the role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, becoming a rare actor to cross cinematic universes
J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson in SPIDER-MAN. The irritable yet endlessly entertaining editor-in-chief of the Daily Bugle stands in his cluttered office, gesturing with the bravado of someone who just discovered a typo in tomorrow’s headline. Dressed in a grey suit, suspenders, and a tie that screams “busy man with opinions,” Jameson looks ready to bark orders or demand “pictures of Spider-Man!” Behind him, a framed Daily Bugle front page asks the burning question, “Hero or Menace?” The office’s blinds cast dramatic shadows, making it feel like the newsroom where chaos and comedy collide. You can practically hear him shouting—or laughing—depending on his mood. J.K. Simmons as Omni-Man in INVINCIBLE. The mustachioed superhero (or super-problem) looms large in his iconic red-and-white costume, complete with a commanding chest emblem. His piercing blue eyes and slightly furrowed brow suggest he’s delivering some heavy, fatherly advice—or maybe a cosmic ultimatum. Meanwhile, a tearful and visibly upset Invincible points a trembling finger at him in protest, capturing the intensity of their familial drama. The stormy, grey skies in the background mirror the mood: stormy, tense, and ready to explode into chaos. Omni-Man’s mustache remains its own character, as steady and menacing as the man wearing it. J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon in JUSTICE LEAGUE. In this moody Gotham City nightscape, Simmons dons a fedora, a classic trench coat, and an air of unshakable calm amidst chaos. His expression is solemn, his glasses catching a faint glow from the distant city lights. Behind him, the skyline of Gotham looms, dark and mysterious, as if Batman himself is about to swoop down at any moment. Simmons’ iconic mustache makes him look like he’s been solving Gotham’s mysteries since before Bruce Wayne was even born. It’s the perfect blend of noir detective grit and superhero coolness. J.K. Simmons as Terence Fletcher in WHIPLASH. The fearsome jazz instructor stands in a dimly lit room, pointing a finger as if accusing the world of not practicing enough. His bald head and black t-shirt give him a minimalist, no-nonsense look that pairs perfectly with his razor-sharp intensity. His eyes lock onto an invisible target, and you can almost hear him yelling, “Not my tempo!” The dark, muted background focuses all attention on Simmons, whose presence alone could make even the boldest musician reconsider their life choices. The tension in the room is palpable, like a cymbal crash waiting to happen.

🎉 Happy Birthday, Norman Reedus! 🎂

Norman Reedus and Hideo Kojima first teamed up for the canceled game SILENT HILLS. Their bond grew with DEATH STRANDING, which Kojima pitched to Reedus over sushi. Even without a script, Reedus jumped on board, trusting Kojima’s vision
Norman Reedus as Daryl Dixon in THE WALKING DEAD. Daryl, the ultimate post-apocalyptic survivalist, is sporting his rugged vest, fingerless gloves, and trusty crossbow strapped to his back—because nothing says “ready for the zombie apocalypse” like medieval weaponry. He’s holding a flashlight, looking like he’s either searching for danger or trying to find where he left his car keys. The dimly lit, gritty background sets the mood for either zombie hunting or the world’s most intense game of hide-and-seek. Norman Reedus as Sam Porter Bridges in DEATH STRANDING. Sam is decked out in futuristic, high-tech gear that screams “sci-fi delivery man of the year.” Strapped to his chest is a glowing baby pod with a tiny baby inside, which feels equal parts adorable and unsettling—especially when you realize the baby might be the least weird part of this mission. He’s rocking a metallic suit labeled “Porter” and carrying an elaborate robotic arm attachment that looks ready to help—or take over the world. The cloudy, ominous sky suggests this isn’t just your average FedEx route. Norman Reedus as Scud in BLADE II. Scud looks every bit the rebellious vampire-hunting tech geek, dressed in a patterned shirt, layered jacket, and a choker necklace—because even when battling the undead, accessorizing matters. He’s standing in a futuristic, high-tech lab filled with glowing red lights and menacing gadgets, clearly ready to either save the world or DJ the afterparty. With his slightly disheveled hair and casual vibe, Scud might be a genius, or he might just be late for his shift at the local record store. SAINTS. Murphy is in full action mode, kneeling on the floor with his brother Connor (Sean Patrick Flanery), and wielding dual pistols like a seasoned action hero. Both are dressed in long, dark coats and gloves, clearly dressed for either vigilante justice or a winter catalog shoot. The gritty, industrial setting is littered with shell casings, making it obvious this isn’t their first rodeo. With synchronized poses and deadly aim, they look like they just walked out of an action movie poster—oh wait, they did.

🎉 Happy Birthday, Eddie Redmayne! 🎂

Earned the Academy Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of Stephen Hawking in THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING — A Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Play for his role in RED in 2010 — Two Olivier Awards, one for Best Actor in a Musical for his role in CABARET
Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander in FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM looks intensely focused through a broken brick wall while holding a wand like he’s about to cast a spell—or defend himself against an unruly magical creature. Dressed in a blue wool coat and waistcoat, he channels 1920s wizard academia with a dash of chaotic charm. The background is a crumbling structure, suggesting Newt’s knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong magical moment—probably thanks to one of his creatures escaping again. Eddie Redmayne as Balem Abrasax in JUPITER ASCENDING is serving serious space dictator energy with slicked-back hair and an intimidating, regal stare. Wearing a sleek black outfit with intricate gold designs and a collar that screams “bow before me,” he looks every bit the tyrannical intergalactic overlord. The glowing futuristic cityscape behind him is equal parts mesmerizing and ominous—like he’s about to make an announcement that’s not great news for humanity. Probably something about taxes. Eddie Redmayne as The Jackal in THE DAY OF THE JACKAL is taking aim with a sniper rifle, leaning against a tree with the calm precision of someone who definitely doesn’t want to be noticed. Wearing a simple off-white shirt with rolled-up sleeves, he looks understated but deadly—like he’s about to change history with one pull of the trigger. The soft sunset glow behind him is almost peaceful, which is ironic given the whole assassin-on-a-mission vibe. Somewhere, someone is probably nervously double-checking their security detail. Eddie Redmayne as Marius Pontmercy in LES MISÉRABLES is mid-revolutionary speech, passionately expressing his ideals—or maybe just trying to convince someone that storming the barricades is a good idea. Dressed in 19th-century attire with a brown coat, blue scarf, and a rosette pinned to his chest, he’s ready to fight for liberty, equality, and the pursuit of dramatically lit candlelit meetings. The background shows other revolutionaries and flickering candles, adding just the right amount of rebellion-meets-romance ambiance. It’s all very “Vive la France!” with a dash of theater kid energy.

🎉 Happy Birthday, Kate McKinnon! 🎂

McKinnon has been nominated for 10 Primetime Emmy Awards, winning in 2016 and 2017 for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series

McKinnon co-created the Audible audio series HEADS WILL ROLL with her sister Emily Lynne
Kate McKinnon in GHOSTBUSTERS (2016) as Jillian Holtzmann is rocking a punk-meets-scientist look with a leather jacket, striped shirt, and a colorful scarf that says, “I know physics, and I also know how to accessorize.” Her yellow-tinted sunglasses scream “cooler than you,” and the chain necklace hints that she’s ready for ghost-hunting action—or maybe just a quirky coffee run. The background features green foliage and an urban setting, which makes her look like she’s about to drop some science knowledge… or sarcasm. Kate McKinnon in BARBIE (2023) plays Weird Barbie, and she’s living up to the name in a bright pink dress that looks like it was designed by an artist having way too much fun with markers and patterns. Her wild, spiky blonde hair has a streak of blue, giving off “I just woke up like this” vibes. She’s dramatically holding up a pink high heel in one hand and a Birkenstock sandal in the other, as if making the ultimate fashion vs. comfort debate. The whimsical, colorful background looks like Barbie’s Dreamhouse exploded in a rainbow factory. Ms. Frizzle’s niece Fiona Felicity Frizzle from THE MAGIC SCHOOL BUS RIDES AGAIN is animated and fabulous, with red hair that curls like it has its own personality. She’s behind the wheel of the school bus, ready to take kids on a wild educational adventure—or maybe just to the grocery store for snacks. She’s wearing a blue top and a necklace with a colorful pendant that probably doubles as a GPS. The background is a blur of scenery, suggesting motion—because this bus never stays still for long. Kate McKinnon in SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE as Hillary Clinton is channeling presidential power in a red suit that practically shouts “vote for me!” She’s at a debate podium, giving that determined-yet-friendly politician smile that says, “I will absolutely win this argument.” The blue backdrop is covered in script-like text that feels both official and a little intimidating—like a pop quiz on American history. Kate nails the look and voice so well that you almost expect her to break into a musical number about democracy.

Haven’t see that
“I’ll put it on the list,” says Chris Evans as Steve Rogers (Captain America) in CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER (2014). Dressed in a light gray Under Armour t-shirt, Steve stands near the National Mall in Washington, D.C., surrounded by greenery and monuments. It’s a lighthearted moment as the ever-diligent super-soldier jots down cultural references he missed while being frozen in ice—because even heroes need to catch up on pop culture.

🎉 Happy Birthday, Clancy Brown! 🎂

He has appeared in both the STAR TREK and STAR WARS franchises, making him one of the few actors to do so

His distinctive deep voice has made him a popular choice for voice acting, and he has voiced characters in over 70 different animated productions
Clancy Brown in STARSHIP TROOPERS (1997) as Sergeant Zim stands front and center in futuristic military armor, saluting with the confidence of a man who could probably wrestle a bug the size of a car—and win. Behind him, a group of soldiers in matching armor smile nervously, likely hoping Zim’s praise means fewer push-ups later. The rocky, alien landscape looms in the background, practically begging for a battle scene. The mood? Military pride with just a hint of “Don’t mess this up, trooper!” Clancy Brown in HIGHLANDER (1986) as The Kurgan, looking as terrifying as his reputation suggests. He’s wearing a bone-adorned helmet that says, “I’m here to conquer—and accessorize.” His dark fur cloak and skull-covered armor make it clear that subtlety is not part of his vocabulary. With a menacing stare and a slightly sinister smirk, he’s ready for immortals to start losing their heads. The cloudy, overcast background screams doom, gloom, and probably some decapitations. Clancy Brown in THE PENGUIN (TV series, 2024) as a mysterious figure exudes quiet menace. Seated in a dimly lit room, his silver hair and well-groomed beard make him look equal parts wise and dangerous—like the guy who runs Gotham’s backroom deals while sipping an expensive whiskey. His calm expression and sharp blue eyes suggest he knows more than he’s letting on, and the shadowy figure behind him seems too scared to interrupt his thoughts. The mood is all business, and you can bet it’s not legal. Clancy Brown as Lex Luthor in SUPERMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES (1996–2000) shows off his animated brilliance—and villainy—in a sleek black suit with eyebrows arched to perfection. Standing next to a suspiciously obedient robot, he’s clearly plotting something involving power, destruction, or both. Superman looms out of focus in the background, looking like he’s ready to ruin Lex’s day—but Lex’s smug expression says, “Not this time.” It’s classic billionaire supervillain energy, and the robot’s probably in on it.

🎉 Happy Birthday, Dafne Keen! 🎂

In LOGAN, Keen’s gymnastics and aerial arts background shined as she performed many of her own stunts and wire work. At 4’11” and 90 lbs, finding a stunt double was tough. Her audition tape even featured her climbing and leaping off furniture, showing off her agility
Dafne Keen portrays Padawan Jedi Vernestra Rwoh in STAR WARS: THE ACOLYTE, exuding fierce determination in her traditional Jedi robes. She wields a glowing green lightsaber that could light up any intergalactic rave, while her alien features, including horn-like protrusions, add an air of mystery and power. The misty, ethereal background suggests she’s either on a distant alien world or someone overdid it with the fog machine. Either way, she looks ready to take on the galaxy—or at least a Sith or two. Dafne Keen appears as Laura Kinney, aka X-23, in DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE. She crouches in a tense, battle-ready pose with an intense look that says she’s about to deliver some serious claw-related justice. Dressed in rugged, post-apocalyptic attire with a denim vest and backpack, she blends ferocity with a touch of rebellion. Her floral sunglasses add an unexpected flair, proving that even mutants appreciate style during the apocalypse. The fiery background hints at chaos and destruction—exactly the kind of scenery where you’d expect Deadpool to crack a joke while Laura does the actual work. Dafne Keen plays Lyra Belacqua in HIS DARK MATERIALS, sitting in a warmly lit study and examining the alethiometer—a mystical truth-telling device—as if it just asked her to solve a riddle before bedtime. She wears a patterned shirt and maroon overalls that make her look equal parts curious and adventurous. Her daemon companion, Pantalaimon, in the form of a white ermine, perches beside her like an adorable but judgmental sidekick. The vintage decor adds a magical and scholarly vibe, perfect for uncovering secrets and sneaking past adults. Dafne Keen takes on the role of Laura Kinney, aka X-23, in LOGAN, crouching in the woods with claws extended and an expression that says, “I dare you.” Dressed in a denim jacket and carrying a backpack adorned with a toy horse, she balances childhood innocence with razor-sharp ferocity—literally. The forest setting suggests she’s mid-chase, but let’s be honest—anyone seeing those claws is probably the one doing the running.

🎉 Yesterday, STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE premiered 32-years ago

Was the first STAR TREK series TV show to use CGI for exterior space shots, marking a tech leap for the franchise

The USS Defiant also became the first full-fledged STAR TREK starship to feature a CGI model in regular production
This image is a promotional poster for the sci-fi TV show Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. It features the main cast of the series, including Avery Brooks as Captain Benjamin Sisko in the center, exuding authority and a “no-nonsense, but I still care” vibe. Surrounding him are other key characters: Nana Visitor as Major Kira Nerys, looking determined and ready to take charge; Rene Auberjonois as Odo, whose stoic expression reminds you he can shape-shift into anything—maybe even your missing socks; Terry Farrell as Jadzia Dax, calm and confident with the wisdom of multiple lifetimes; Colm Meaney as Chief Miles O’Brien, whose expression suggests he’s either about to fix a warp core breach or explain why your replicator is out of coffee. Alexander Siddig as Dr. Julian Bashir appears thoughtful and probably ready to diagnose your space flu. Cirroc Lofton as Jake Sisko gives off youthful optimism, while Armin Shimerman as Quark looks like he’s about to negotiate a deal you can’t refuse—or shouldn’t accept. Michael Dorn as Worf stares intensely, proving once again that Klingons take everything seriously—especially honor and prune juice. The background shows the iconic Deep Space Nine space station, a futuristic wheel-like structure that could double as the galaxy’s coolest fidget spinner, floating against a star-filled cosmic expanse. A small spaceship soars nearby, adding to the sense of adventure. The image blends drama and intrigue with a touch of interstellar mystery—just another day at the office in the 24th century!

🎉 Happy Birthday, Kate Bosworth! 🎂

Was accepted to Princeton University but deferred multiple times to pursue her acting career

To prepare for her role in 21, Bosworth and her co-stars were trained in card counting techniques to accurately depict the strategies used by the MIT Blackjack Team
Kate Bosworth commands the screen as Lois Lane in Superman Returns, sharing a tender moment with Brandon Routh as Superman. With soft curls cascading over her shoulders, she tilts her head slightly upward, eyes closed, exuding quiet strength and vulnerability. Dressed in a professional yet timeless outfit, she holds her own even in the presence of the Man of Steel, who stands nearby in his iconic blue suit and red cape. The dimly lit industrial background adds drama to the scene, emphasizing Lois as more than just a love interest—she’s a fearless journalist with a sharp mind and an undeniable presence. Kate Bosworth appears in the movie “21” as Jill Taylor, looking every bit the confident high-stakes gambler. She sports a sleek black dress with a plunging neckline and a sharp bob haircut that says, “I’m here to win, and maybe break some hearts in the process.” Seated at a poker table, she holds a poker chip between her fingers while stacks of chips sit before her, hinting that she’s either dominating the table or just pretending to be cool while secretly praying she doesn’t go all-in on a bad hand. A glass of champagne sparkles nearby, because what’s a poker night without a little bubbly to keep things classy?

🎉 THE SARAH JANE ADVENTURES turns 18-years old today

The character of Sarah Jane Smith first appeared in DOCTOR WHO in 1973 and became one of the longest-serving and most beloved companions

All 5 seasons are currently streaming on Max
This image is a promotional photo for the TV show The Sarah Jane Adventures. It features the main cast standing confidently in front of a vibrant green misty background, along with some rather intimidating alien creatures lurking behind them. Centered is Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith, wearing a sharp purple blouse and black vest, exuding both elegance and “I-can-save-the-world” vibes. To her left is Anjli Mohindra as Rani Chandra, wearing a stylish light green dress and looking ready to investigate some mysteries. To the right is Tommy Knight as Luke Smith, rocking a casual blue t-shirt and pulling off the classic “teen genius with a heart of gold” look. Next to him, Daniel Anthony as Clyde Langer stands coolly in a lavender shirt, clearly prepared to crack jokes and save the day. In the background, alien villains add a sci-fi twist. One alien resembles a bird with a serious case of bad feathers, another looks like a horned reptilian creature who skipped beauty sleep, and a mysterious armored figure wields a sharp staff, clearly not there for small talk. The mood is equal parts adventurous and mysterious, as the green glow sets the tone for extraterrestrial drama. The whole gang is dressed to impress and ready to face danger—because saving Earth is just another day at the office for this crew.

🎉 Happy Birthday, Sir Anthony Hopkins! 🎂

He donated £1M to Snowdonia National Park, funded the Anthony Hopkins Centre at Royal Welsh College, and supports Greenpeace, YMCA, and rehab programs. A patron of RAPt and aids charities like Starlight Children’s Foundation and Women in Recovery
Anthony Hopkins is seen as Odin in Marvel’s “Thor.” He stands confidently in Asgard’s regal halls, adorned in golden armor with intricate details and a red cape draped over his shoulders. His flowing silver hair and beard, along with a golden eye patch, scream “majestic Norse god vibes.” Behind him, Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and Thor (Chris Hemsworth) look on, perhaps plotting or brooding—it’s hard to tell. The polished stone walls and towering columns of Asgard make it clear this is a place for gods, not mortals. Odin’s slight smile suggests he might be about to deliver a lesson—or a lightning bolt. Anthony Hopkins portrays Robert Ford in HBO’s “Westworld,” seated in a dark, elegant office surrounded by eerie, expressionless face molds on the wall. He’s wearing a sharp vest and tie, looking every bit the mastermind with his hands folded in a position that says, “I know everything, and you know nothing.” The dim lighting adds a sinister undertone, and the blank stares of the face molds make it seem like they’re silently judging everyone. Hopkins appears to be pondering his next move—probably something dramatic, like playing god with robots. Anthony Hopkins delivers his chilling performance as Dr. Hannibal Lecter in “The Silence of the Lambs.” He stares directly into the camera with piercing blue eyes and an unsettling half-smile that’s as inviting as it is terrifying. Dressed in a plain blue prison jumpsuit, his expression suggests he’s already ten steps ahead of anyone who dares confront him. The dim lighting and blurred prison bars in the background add to the claustrophobic tension, making you feel like you’re one wrong question away from becoming his next meal. Anthony Hopkins appears as Alfred Hitchcock in “Hitchcock,” standing outside a stately mansion in a crisp black suit and tie. A large black raven perches ominously on his shoulder, because nothing says “master of suspense” like casually accessorizing with a bird straight out of a horror movie. His stern expression and crossed hands add to the air of mystery, while the neatly trimmed hedges and stone facade of the mansion make it clear he’s not just any filmmaker—he’s one with style. The raven, meanwhile, looks ready to audition for its next thriller.

🎉 Happy Birthday, Val Kilmer! 🎂

To accurately depict Holliday’s death due to tuberculosis in TOMBSTONE, Kilmer lay on a bed of ice during his death scene, causing visible shaking and discomfort

Holliday plays Chopin’s Nocturne; Kilmer, not a pianist, practiced for months to perform it well.
Val Kilmer, looking every bit the cool, aloof naval aviator, stands confidently in his flight suit as Lt. Tom “Iceman” Kazansky from Top Gun (1986). Sporting a patch-covered green flight jacket, complete with aviator sunglasses dangling from his collar, Kilmer exudes ice-cold confidence—probably because his nickname demands it. Behind him, a fighter jet looms as if ready to take off at any moment. Val Kilmer dons the iconic cape and cowl as Batman in Batman Forever (1995), striking a brooding pose under dramatic blue lighting and flickering sparks. The suit, complete with sculpted muscles and reminds everyone that even crime-fighting vigilantes need a bold fashion statement. With a jawline sharp enough to cut glass and a gaze as intense as the Bat-Signal, Kilmer looks ready to battle Gotham’s villains—or at least ponder how long it takes Alfred to polish the Batmobile. Val Kilmer steps back into medieval times as Madmartigan in Willow (1988), dressed in rugged armor with golden shoulder plates that say, “I’m both a warrior and a fashion icon.” Holding a sword and framed by ancient stone walls, he looks like he’s just finished rescuing a princess—or maybe misplacing one. His slightly disheveled hair and determined expression make it clear that he’s equally prepared for battle and witty banter, probably both in the same scene. Val Kilmer appears as Doc Holliday in Tombstone (1993), wearing a sharp gray suit with a red waistcoat and a crisp white shirt underneath. His black wide-brimmed hat casts just enough shadow to emphasize his sly, confident smirk. His well-groomed mustache and soul patch complete the look of a Southern gentleman with a deadly edge. The background, slightly out of focus, suggests a Western town setting with wooden structures and signage, evoking the Old West atmosphere. Kilmer’s piercing gaze and faint smile seem to say, “I’m your huckleberry,” making it clear he’s ready for a showdown—or at least to steal every scene he’s in.

🎉 AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE premiered 24-years ago

A spin-off from SPACE GHOST COAST TO COAST, where the main characters first appeared as detectives

Had a feature-length film adaptation titled AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE COLON MOVIE FILM FOR THEATERS, released in 2007 (and where the poster art is from)
A parody-style poster featuring characters from “Aqua Teen Hunger Force,” a surreal animated comedy series. The scene is an epic, over-the-top fantasy battle reminiscent of 1980s action-adventure movie posters. Front and center, Carl Brutananadilewski (voiced by Dave Willis) stands heroically, rocking his signature tank top, gold chain, and flip-flops while wielding a knife. His pose screams, “I have no idea what’s going on, but I’m committed!” Beside him, a scantily clad woman clings to his leg, looking equal parts terrified and confused—probably wondering how she ended up in this situation. To Carl’s left, Meatwad (also voiced by Dave Willis), the lovable and dimwitted meatball, brandishes a chainsaw with a grin that says, “Don’t worry, I’ve got this!” Frylock (voiced by Carey Means), with his glowing fries and angry eyebrows, hovers menacingly behind Carl, ready to shoot lasers out of his fries. Meanwhile, Master Shake (voiced by Dana Snyder), looking dapper with a belt of grenades and a crossbow, strikes a pose that says, “I’m here, and I brought accessories.” The background features an erupting volcano, ominous clouds, and monstrous creatures with sharp teeth—because no apocalyptic fantasy is complete without dragons and demons. One beast is being casually sliced apart by a massive circular saw, suggesting the Aqua Teens are leaving chaos in their wake. The mood? Pure, chaotic, action-packed absurdity with a sprinkle of retro sci-fi flair. It’s the kind of scene that promises explosions, bad decisions, and Carl complaining about property damage. Fans of the show will recognize the humor instantly—because saving the world was never part of their job description.

🎉 Happy Birthday, Jude Law! 🎂

An active advocate for Breast Cancer Care, Education Africa, Friends of the Earth, Macmillan Cancer Support, Make-A-Wish Foundation, Make Poverty History, PETA, Peace One Day, Respect for Animals, Soccer Aid, UNICEF, and Young Vic Theatre.
Jude Law as Albus Dumbledore in “FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD” commands attention in a sharp three-piece suit and tie, holding his wand with the precision of a wizard and the flair of a magician at a Vegas show. Behind him, a group of Hogwarts students in blue robes, presumably from Ravenclaw, watch with awe, possibly wondering if they’ll get extra credit for surviving this lesson. The gothic windows and stone walls of Hogwarts frame the scene, adding a touch of magical nostalgia. With that determined look, Dumbledore might be casting a spell—or just reminding students to do their homework. Jude Law as Dr. John Watson in “Sherlock Holmes,” sporting a sharp mustache that could probably solve crimes on its own. Dressed in a brown suit, tie, and bowler hat, he exudes Victorian-era charm while seated against a tufted leather backdrop that screams “wealthy detective chic.” His piercing gaze suggests he’s either deducing a clue or wondering if he left the stove on. Jude Law in “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew,” looking ruggedly futuristic in a galaxy far, far away. Wrapped in a heavy scarf and a quilted leather jacket, he’s ready for interstellar adventure—or maybe just braving a cold desert planet. The glowing orbs floating nearby and shadowy figures in the background give off an air of mystery, as if he’s about to lead a ragtag group of misfits on a journey that’s equal parts danger and wonder. With that confident smirk, he looks like the kind of guy who always has a plan—even if it’s improvised halfway through hyperspace. Jude Law as King Vortigern in “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword,” rocking chainmail and a crown that says, “Yes, I’m the boss.” Flanked by armored knights, he stands tall with an expression that suggests he’s about to deliver a dramatic speech—or maybe just enforce a no-dragon policy. The medieval setting features stone walls and banners, lending an epic and slightly ominous vibe.
