The Chinese poster for Jason Statham's Mutiny kind of rocks
Chinese poster for Jason Statham's Mutiny, featuring The Stath gunning down an assailant with one hand with a bloodied knife in the other. Various other goons surround them, all with gunshot or knife wounds, presumably courtesy of The Stath. It makes a serviceable action film look way more exciting than it actually is

Guardian headline: 'Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman was one of DC's few successes. It's a mystery why she got the chop' by Ben ChildChris Hemworth's Thor, in (I'm fairly sure) Thor: Ragnarok, pulling a face just before he says "Is he, though?" – commonly paraphrased, as in this case, as: "Is it, though?"

an IMDb search for "resident evil" that suggests under 'Titles': Zach Cregger's forthcoming Resident Evil movie, Paul WS Anderson's 2002 Resident Evil movie, the 2022 TV series, 2004's Resident Evil: Apocalypse and 2007's Resident Evil: Extinction. 

Below, under the 'People' section, the first entry is Donald Trump.

A variation on the epic handshake meme, in which the common factors are 'doing magic and killing jacked-up beasts with the help of a wisecracking inanimate object that has gained sentience' and the participants are Forspoken and God of War: Laufey

The text on this A24 The Drama hoodie is...something
A hoodie on the A24 site for The Drama, the text on which reads: THE DRAMA is about couple (Zendaya and Roberlson) who arc almosl doing some wedding soon, but in before-days everything starts going wrongly in the most incorrect. Normal stop acting normal and begin behaving like the relationship run but tripping.
From the outside-eyes romances looks very good-shaped, but inside we become fallen down like a chair. Small finding-things become huge fights because both of actors in two keep understanding the opposite  and remembering that aren't even malching the real happiness.
The film is to begin like romantic comedy but the tonc and goes somewhere behind it. turning into stress feelings. Secrets come out in not-right information gets wrong, and trust becomes a day early and keeps sliding. 
When the wedding day gets almost here, no people in there of them knows if they are marrying the person or the wrong-person on accident. Everything starts feeling down there, like the relationship is wearing and pretending.
Every fixing they try is fixing the wrong. causing the more to appear instead of less.

Zendaya and Robert Pattinson

Farage, who has been an MEP for 18 years, has one of the worst attendance records at the parliament in Brussels and Strasbourg. He is ranked 748 out of 751 MEPs and has taken part in only 37% of votes in the current parliamentary session, according to VoteWatch Europe.
