My Obsession With Twilight, Two Decades On

Why me the internet (and Gen Z) is still obsessed with Twilight, two decades on. Twilight, the first book in Stephanie Meyer’s teen vampire romance saga published between 2005 and 2020. It has also been almost 20 years since Kristen Stewart’s awkward “plain girl” Bella and Robert Pattinson’s century-old glittery Edward appeared in the first movie. The film Twilight (2008) grossed more than US$407 million (about A$539 million at the time) worldwide during its theatrical release. It is often credited with launching the careers of Stewart and Pattinson. Full of awkward dialogue, melodramatic acting and absurd scenes like the iconic vampire family-bonding baseball game, Twilight has earned cult status. Akin to Tommy Wiseau’s bizarre flop-turned-mock-hit The Room (2003), it is “so bad it’...

What’s All The Who-Raw About Love Island TV SHOW?

The excitement, or "who-raw," around the reality TV show Love Island stems from a combination of its core format, constant drama, and the high level of viewer interaction. 1. The Core Concept and Format The Premise: A group of single contestants, known as "Islanders," live together in a luxurious, isolated villa (in a tropical location like Fiji or Mallorca) under constant video surveillance. Coupling Up: To survive and stay in the villa, Islanders must be "coupled up" with another contestant, either for romance, friendship, or survival. Any Islander left single after a "Recoupling Ceremony" is "dumped" from the island. The Goal & Prize: The overall winning couple, chosen by a public vote at the end of the season, walks away with a significant cash prize (e.g....

Former Doctor Who Actor David Tennant Confirmed He Has 11 Toes

Actor David Tennant has an extra toe. Two anatomists explain what’s so fascinating about polydactyly. A common anatomical variation is being born with more than ten fingers or more than ten toes. Former Doctor Who actor David Tennant this week confirmed he has 11 toes. He says he was born with an extra toe on his right foot, meaning he has polydactyly. Here’s how this anatomical variation occurs, and how common it really is. Let’s Start In The Womb The term polydactyly is derived from the Greek poly (meaning many) and dactyly (referring to fingers or toes or digits). To understand it, we need to start with how an embryo develops in the womb. Developing hands and feet start as limb buds, which look like little flat paddles. But with polydactyly, an extra finger or toe grows fr...

‘Severance’ Reveals A Devastating Truth About Work And Child-Rearing In The 21st Century

The Child Boss In ‘Severance’ Reveals A Devastating Truth About Work And Child-Rearing In The 21st Century. In the second season of “Severance,” there’s an unexpected character: a child supervisor named Miss Huang, who matter-of-factly explains she’s a child “because of when I was born.” Miss Huang’s deadpan response is more than just a clever quip. Like so much in the Apple TV+ series, which has broken viewership records for the streaming service, I think it reveals a devastating truth about the role of work in the 21st century. As a scholar of childhood studies, I also see historical echoes: What constitutes a “child” – and whether one gets to claim childhood at all – has always depended on when and where a person is born. An age of innocence? Americans are deeply invested in ...
