Warning: Contains SPOILERS for Star Wars: Darth Vader #44! The story of Anakin Skywalker’s fall to the dark side within Star Wars canon is littered with countless atrocities committed by the former Jedi, though none were as heinous as the slaughter of Jedi younglings. Yet somehow, that truly evil act of murderous violence just got even more disturbing, as Star Wars confirms Darth Vader has a hidden Force ability that only heightens the immense suffering his actions caused.

The choice between Fruit Bats and Mushrooms is a compelling one for Stardew Valley, with both options offering clear benefits. However, the Farm Cave can only support one of the two, and the upgrade is irreversible, much like Stardew Valley’s choice between the Rancher and Tiller professions. This will have a lasting impact on a farm and the produce people can easily obtain with it, and as such, the decision is worth some careful consideration beforehand.

X-Men '97 has found a way to fix a problem that has plagued television for decades. X-Men '97 is Marvel's revival of X-Men: The Animated Series, which it repeatedly recalls and draws narratives from.

The Hereditary ending is open to interpretation and leaves a lot of open-ended questions surrounding the demon Paimon. In Hereditary, Annie Graham is an artist whose mother has just passed away, and though her son Peter and husband Steve appear to be mostly indifferent towards her death, Annie's daughter Charlie seems especially troubled. This kicks off a brief exploration into Charlie's peculiar tendencies — clipping off the head of a dead bird, crafting abnormal creatures out of scraps — before a series of seemingly insignificant events leads to her untimely death.

My favorite endings are the ones that basically force an image (or a sound) into your brain without directly showing you what that image is. The unseen tends to linger way longer.

The Vanishing (1988) is a good example, and one of my favorite / most terrifying endings ever. Without spoiling, by seeing and experiencing one thing with one character, it literally forces you to imagine something else, and that something else is absolutely harrowing and gut-wrenching. It’s a haunting ending that has genuinely stayed with me since I first watched it.

La Strada (1954) is another good example. The movie tells you what happens but doesn’t show you. You’re left to imagine, and given the context of the film and that particular character, what you’re left to imagine is f’n devastating!

Rosemary’s Baby (1968), too… kind of… but I find that movie terrifying for reasons other than the whole thing with the baby’s eyes.

Sonequa Martin-Green is all kinds of emotional. The Star Trek: Discovery star is jazzed about discussing the action-packed fifth and final season of the hit Paramount+ sci-fi series. But she’s also sentimental about this Trek's end game. “It was certainly sad on the [last] day and bittersweet,” the actor shared about the final shoot in a recent round table interview with journalists. ‘We laughed and we cried, and we sang songs and danced and recited poetry, and everything. We were really there with each other, but thankfully, it's never over, and we don't really have to say goodbye.”

Released in 2019 to critical acclaim, Ford v Ferrari tracks the intense racing rivalry between automakers Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon) and Enzo Ferrari (Remo Girone) in the 1950s and 1960s. Although a few story elements were made up to increase the dramatic stakes, the movie recreates many real-life auto races with stunning authenticity and historical accuracy. To help defeat Ferrari, Carroll forms an unlikely partnership with Ken Miles (Christian Bale), a hot-headed yet talented British car racer, mechanic, and engineer who goes to heroic lengths to lift Ford to prominence.

90 Day Fiancé star Karine wants everyone to see how “dangerous” Paul Staehle really is. Paul is a 40-year-old man who first starred in 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days with Karine, 27. Paul and Karine are no longer a part of the franchise but still manage to shock fans with their strange social media behavior. The couple share two children, but they lost custody of Ethan and Pierre after a video of Karine allegedly hurting Paul went viral online. Paul’s antics are disturbing, to say the least, and it seems Karine is now asking her fans not to trust him.
