If you’ve been on social media at all recently, chances are you are familiar with the chicken jockey scene from“A Minecraft Movie.” For those of you fortunate enough to have avoided this, fans have been screaming and throwing things after Jack Black delivers the line, “chicken jockey.”When I’m home from school, I work at a movie theater. Because of this, I’m very passionate about movie theater etiquette, something that seems to have been forgotten recently. Look, I’m all for having fun at the movies. It’s part of what makes the group viewing experience so special.But throwing popcorn and making a mess on purpose? That’s just unnecessary.

We’re nearing the end of spring semester, and whether you’re mourning the loss of your senior friends or breaking down about an impossible final, the tears are imminent. In honor of what can be a stressful time, here are some books that are sure to hit you right in the feels.
For as long as I can remember, I have loved sitting back and reading a nice, cozy book. However, with classes taking up every waking moment, I haven’t been able to read as much as I would prefer. So, I have made it my mission to actually read something other than theories on sociology.As I got back into reading more for myself, I figured that many people may feel the same way. Or, maybe, they need a place to start.
Seeing “Saturday Night Live” live in the studio has been a dream of mine since I was 14 years old. However, it isn’t exactly easy to do.There are a few ways to be in the studio for the taping of the show, including the lottery and the standby process. At 10 a.m., the Thursday before the show, an online form opens to request standby numbers for both dress rehearsal and the live taping that weekend. The available spots fill up within seconds, so getting through this first step successfully is difficult.If you’re lucky enough to get through the form, you’ll receive standby numbers through email at some point that day that reflect where you’ll be placed in the standby line Friday night.

Starring Sylvester Stallone, Scott Eastwood, Willa Fitzgerald and Mike Colter, ‘Alarum’ was officially released on Jan. 15, but it did not make much of an impact in the box office.
For those looking for a tropical escape from the gloomy Midwest weather, look no further than Mike White’s “The White Lotus.”Season three of the hit Max series just concluded and was filled with drama. Each season follows a different group of vacationers at a different “White Lotus” resort: season one took place in Hawaii, season two took place in Italy and season three took place in Thailand.

About a week ago, my editor sent me a video of Duolingo doing Sabrina Carpenter’s Juno pose from her Paris show. Sure, it was funny, but how was watching Duolingo folded into the “Eiffel Tower” going to make me more inclined to complete my Duolingo math lesson for the day? Fun fact: it was not successful.

From a very young age, I dreamed of being a Disney princess. Ballgowns and princess dresses flooded my costume chests, and the Disney version of Pretty Pretty Princess was by far my favorite game. Disney princess DVDs lined my shelves and the Disney FastPlay advertisement constantly replayed in my head. Princesses were my favorite. When I heard they were making a live-action “Snow White” film, I was skeptical. Excited, but skeptical nonetheless. When Rachel Zegler was announced as the star, my excitement grew.
It’s women’s history month, and through working on this piece, it has come to my attention just how few films are actually directed by women — it’s upsetting. I was barely able to come up with a top 10 list. If I were asked to come up with more films, I’m not sure I would be able to. So many films, including some of my favorite films about women, are directed by men. However, in honor of women’s history month, I decided to highlight some of my favorites.
As a horror enthusiast, there aren’t many horror films that genuinely get to me anymore. A24’s “Opus,” released on March 14, is an exception.
Chappell Roan first played her newest song, “The Giver,” way back in November on “Saturday Night Live (SNL).” Now, she has officially released the song. While I am a big Roan fan, “The Giver” did not necessarily live up to my hopes for a new song from her. Do not get me wrong, I love everything she stands for with the song, but it is not something I want to listen to on repeat.
When you think of St. Patrick’s Day, what pops into your head? It may be leprechauns, beer, Irish dancing, more beer or wearing lots of green. However, when I think of this blessed day, I think of the color ginger – or anyone who considers themselves a redhead, to be exact.
