American Film Market Cuts Two Days From Schedule

Now that is back on, the Sunday Scaries are temporarily on hold because there are tons of cringe-y first-round auditions to watch and distract you from Monday. But first, last night was the premiere of the long-running show and it was actually pretty dramatic and involved a mass evacuation.

We are ready for another week of BTS flooding our Twitter and Instagram timelines. The K-Pop band dropped their new album Map of the Soul: 7 last week. As part of their promotional activities, the band is hop-scotching from one US show to another. The band appeared on Today Show and is set to appear on a special, pre-recorded episode of The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon on February 24. International television host Jimmy Fallon took to Twitter and shared a glimpse of the episode. 

Katy Perry took to Twitter to salute first responders, following a scary incident which saw her collapse on the set of due to a gas leak.

At its most straightforward and deceptively simple level, The American Sector is a catalog: a regathering of some of the scattered pieces of a once-formidable whole. Dismantled in 1989 with profound political repercussions and symbolic power, the wall that separated East and West Berlin for 28 years lives on, in new and no less symbolic ways, in locations around the world.

Last week, US television show host Jimmy Fallon announced that BTS will be returning to The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon. He shared a video confirming their return. Although the announcement, Fallon hasn't revealed the air date of the special episode, he had reached out to the ARMY requesting them for questions to ask BTS.

Oscar-nominated star Margot Robbie won over the audience in 2016's Suicide Squad as Harley Quinn. However, she couldn't lure in moviegoers to buy a ticket to Birds of Prey. The Oscar-nominated actress reprised the DC character for the second time in DCEU and audiences did not seem interested in watching Harley Quinn back in action. Birds of Prey minted $33 million in North America, which is one of the worst openings a DC movie has ever seen in the US.

Mura Masa and slowthai made their US TV debuts on The Tonight Show on Tuesday, bringing their recent collaboration "Deal Wiv It" to life with a high-energy performance.

It has been almost 19 years since American Pie first hit the big screen and the raunchy teen comedy-drama gathered quite the fan following. The main lead Jason Biggs who played Jim Levenstein recently got candid about the film and revealed that it cannot get made in the Post #MeToo era. Speaking to BuzzFeed News’ 'AM to DM', Biggs echoed similar sentiments as that of his co-star Shannon Elizabeth who said that the infamous webcam scene was a 'problem'.

Sixty years. That’s how long a Louisiana judge sentenced Rob Richardson to serve for armed bank robbery. Garrett Bradley covers more than a third of that term in “Time,” and the cumulative impact — boiled down into an open-minded and deeply empathetic 81 minutes — will almost certainly rewire how Americans think about the prison-industrial complex.

Every summer, more than 1,000 teens swarm the Texas capitol building to attend Boys State, the annual American Legion-sponsored leadership conference where these incipient politicians divide into rival parties, the Nationalists and the Federalists, and attempt to build a mock government from the ground up.
