Why How the Grinch Stole Christmas Is Still a Holiday Classic 26 Years Later When How the Grinch Stole Christmas premiered in 2000, critics were at odds with each other. Many felt the film went too far with Dr. Seuss’ story and made it too complicated. Others others were concerned about its darker humor. Plus add in the over-the-top production design and you get something akin to how Tim Burton goes full Burton on all of his films. But despite all this critical backlash, audiences had a very different reaction. The movie soon became the highest earning film in the…

You’ve probably had a conversation with an employee and thought you were talking to a celebrity. Not a scam, not a bot. A person, paid hourly, trained to sound like someone else, working a shift. This is now standard practice across large stretches of the online creator world, and almost nobody talks about it, because the entire value of the arrangement depends on you not noticing. That’s a strange thing to have become normal without a conversation about it. What a creator team actually is A creator team is a group of people employed or contracted to operate the commercial…

Teeth have fascinated collectors for centuries, from Victorian mourning jewelry to modern oddities displays. As someone who spends way too much money at Oddities & Curiosities conventions, I couldn’t help but laugh when people reacted to Kesha’s collection of teeth like it was the strangest hobby imaginable. For Kesha it’s a way to connect with fans, and she can create jewelry with teeth with meaning in it. The singer recently opened up about her unusual hobby of collecting teeth during an appearance on Las Culturistas, explaining that it all started because of her fans. Someone offered her their kids’s baby…

As someone who firmly believes French fries are one of the greatest foods ever invented, I don’t need much convincing to order them whenever they’re on a menu. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and perfectly salty, they’re one of those comfort foods that’s nearly impossible to resist.

If scientists have found a way to make fries just as crunchy while cutting down on the oil, sign…

He says that it will be completed before the end of the year. Not only that, he feels that it will compete right alongside Christopher Nolan’s take on the ancient epic. In a post shared on X, Musk claimed his AI film would be “historically accurate and true to the art of Homer.” That’s an interesting statement considering Homer’s work is mythology and not a historical document. I would even go as far as…

If you’re a late 80’s/Early 90’s kid like me you probably loved both My Little Pony and Polly Pocket. Being a kid in the 90’s was freaking rad. And Polly Pockets were IT. I loved collecting the little compacts that you could open up and there would be a whole playset in. For me it was the Swan Lake compact that really brought me in. It was the light up lake really. Anyway, NOW Polly Pocket is teaming up with My Little Pony and bringing us the compact of our dreams. Dream Castle with some OG ponies! In this set…
