The Radiant Sentimental Value and the Beauty of Seeing Flawed Families On-Screen

by

We all inherit traits from our parents, for better or worse, and their influence shapes who we become. It’s no surprise that family dynamics are a common theme in movies, just as popular as stories about romance. While many family films focus on intense drama, this season’s releases are exploring the more nuanced ways family members connect – or struggle to. We’re seeing films like a documentary about a son reflecting on his famous parents, a series of quirky and funny stories about parents and children, and a moving film about the impact of a distant parent, while also showing that healing and reconnection are possible. Perhaps, in a world often filled with negativity, these familial bonds are more vital than ever. These films portray those connections realistically, without relying on clichés or sentimentality. Families are messy, frustrating, and imperfect – yet they often provide the support we need to cope with life’s challenges.

by

Legendary writer Dan Jurgens, known for creating characters like Doomsday and Booster Gold, teamed up with artists Mike Perkins and Mike Spicer to reimagine Bruce Wayne’s early days as a crime fighter in Gotham City, presenting him in a classic, period-style thriller. A year later, the same creative team returned with The Bat-Man: Second Knight, expanding on this retro take and adding even more recognizable elements and characters. While the story features familiar touches, it still offers a fresh and unique perspective on the iconic Batman, as the best Batman tales do.

Bitcoin’s Current Crisis: Is This the End or Just a Weird Phase?

by

Yes, Bitcoin is down-but don’t go writing its obituary just yet. It’s still clinging to some crucial price levels. The bears? They’re loud because liquidations have gone through the roof, and big investors are cashing out. Meanwhile, the bulls? They’re taking a deep breath, pointing at the improving macro conditions (lower interest rates, end of quantitative tightening in the U.S., you know, all that “boring” stuff). Historically, post-halving bull runs last anywhere from 300 to 550 days. So yeah, we might still be in the middle of this rollercoaster.
