Given the divide in America, where neighbors are seemingly tearing each other apart each day, at least if you watch Fox News, a comedy about warring neighbors who hate each other seems pretty timely, right?

It used to be kind of known as the “Nolan or ‘Dark Knight’ effect,” and it was arguably first widely felt in Sam Mendes’ “Skyfall,” where the English filmmaker admitted taking cues from the psychologically realistic, emotionally dark superhero film and applying it to his James Bond spy series. Maybe it’s just now better known as commencing from psychologically authentic terra firma, but whatever the effect is, it certainly permeates Donald Glover’s “Mr.

her movie was—and more controversially, wasn't—nominated for.“Obviously I think Greta [Gerwig] should be nominated as a director, because what she did is a once-in-a-career, once-in-a-lifetime thing, what she pulled off, it really is,” Robbie said at a recent SAG screening of the film, , before adding magnanimously, “But it’s been an incredible year for all the films.”“There’s no way to feel sad when you know you’re this blessed,” she said during a panel discussion, explaining that she's actually very happy with the warm reception the summer received. “[I'm] beyond ecstatic that we’ve got eight Academy Award nominations, it’s so wild….

On Wednesday, January 31, Kardashian again took to Instagram Stories, revealing that she slept with “intense cream” (brand unknown) on her legs, which she then bound in Saran Wrap. And it worked: She reported that the intense itching was gone and the dark red patch from the day before looked significantly lighter and calmer.Kardashian marveled that the treatment “changes everything,” saying that all this progress was from “just one night” and she would be doing her Saran Wrap routine “twice a week.”I'm no dermatologist, but lotion and plastic wrap sounds like a pretty basic combo (and in fact, it is ).
