The downturn began with the sudden liquidation of $19 billion in leveraged positions. Bitcoin, which had climbed as much as 35% earlier in the year following President Donald Trump’s pro-crypto policies, has since crashed 8% this week, falling below its 200-day moving average for the first time since 2022. 🐍
Our dear Bloomberg’s senior ETF whisperer, Eric Balchunas, flagged this sparkling maneuver. He quipped that Bitwise is “doing the 8(a) move,” which basically means-unless Uncle Sam decides otherwise-this should all be up and running in just three short weeks. Fancy that! 🎩🎉
If you enjoy shows like The Gilded Age, you’ll love Hallmark’s newest movie, filmed in beautiful Newport, Rhode Island. Hallmark has created some great holiday films in the past, including A Biltmore Christmas and A Timeless Christmas, and A Newport Christmas is just as charming. It has everything you want in a holiday romance!
As a huge fan of Stranger Things, I’m so excited about Tales from ’85! It’s a new animated series on Netflix that takes us back in time to see what the kids were up to before the events of the main show. Apparently, they’re facing off against some brand-new monsters, which sounds awesome!
The 29-year-old TV star, who is of Greek and Cypriot descent, appeared on the ITV dating show in 2022 and has been entertaining at different events ever since.
Jessie J, the singer behind “Price Tag,” will perform at the Christmas concert on its second night, joining other popular musicians for a lively show.
The Sea Devils are a classic Doctor Who monster that the show hasn’t quite gotten right since its 2005 revival. First appearing with the Third Doctor, they returned in the 2022 episode “Legend of the Sea Devils.” While the show did a good job of keeping their original look, the episode simplified these once-complex and intelligent creatures, portraying them as a predictable threat with technology that conveniently served the plot. Essentially, these new Sea Devils felt like the name and appearance were all they had left of their former selves.
So, it’s been about a week since word started circulating that David Harbour was subject to an internal Netflix investigation before Season 5 filming began. Apparently, Millie Bobby Brown – who plays his on-screen daughter – filed some complaints about bullying and harassment. Initially, details were pretty scarce, and some of the reports felt… inflated, let’s say. Director Shawn Levy finally addressed it in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, and when asked how he handled things to ensure a safe and respectful environment, he responded:
Honestly, the whole 80s revival vibe feels done, and that super-groomed look is just… normal now. So, can a new take on this story really work? It’s tough because the 2002 sequel vanished from everyone’s memory, the 2013 TV show fizzled out, and thankfully, those rumors about Margot Robbie playing the lead were apparently just that – rumors. It’s not about her, it just shows how much trouble this project has had getting off the ground. The biggest problem? Most of these attempts just don’t get the source material or the main character. That’s why Bret Easton Ellis, the book’s author, seems to hate every new version. And you know what? While I don’t always agree with everything Ellis says, he’s spot on about this. He knows that story, and it’s clear most of these projects don’t.
The film Badlands follows Dek (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi), a young Predator struggling to earn his place within his clan. He tries to prove himself by hunting a Kalisk – a powerful, seemingly unkillable monster that even frightens his father, the clan leader – and taking its skull as a trophy. However, after crash-landing on the dangerous planet Genna, Dek realizes he’s in over his head. Luckily, he meets Thia (Elle Fanning), an android who offers to guide him through Genna’s perils in exchange for a ride to the Kalisk’s cave – the last place her missing lower body was seen. This is where the story connects to the universe of Alien.
