Nearly two decades later, the documentary Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond demonstrates the lengths that Carrey went to in order to inhabit Kaufmans character, even if it meant acting like a jerk.The real Kaufman was also committed to comedic bits even if the audience didnt think they were funny. Theres some of that in Carrey too, especially when he imitates the way that Kaufman blurred the lines between reality and scripted.Skywalkers: A Love Story (2024)7.1/10r101mGenreDocumentary, Romance, ThrillerStarsAngela Nikolau, Ivan BeerkusDirected byJeff ZimbalistWatch on NetflixYour opinions about Angela Nikolau and Ivan Beerkus may vary after seeing Skywalkers: A Love Story.

They dont care if they have to break the law in order to realize their latest thrills.If you dont like heights, then you may feel a bit queasy from the shots taken from perilous positions that most people would never have seen. It all feels incredibly dangerous. Yet, its also impressive to see Nikolau and Beerkus put their skills to use even if their lives are also on the line if something goes wrong.Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief (2015)80%8.0/10120mGenreDocumentaryStarsPaul Haggis, Jason Beghe, Alex GibneyDirected byAlex GibneyWatch on NetflixAlthough Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief was made by HBO Films almost a decade ago, it hasnt lost any of its power. This documentary offers a closer look at Scientology, the religion created by sci-fi writer L. Ron Hubbard that appears to have transformed from a cult of personality to a worldwide organization.The history of the group is explored here, but the most damning accounts come from former Scientologists including director Paul Haggis and Mark Rathbun, who used to have a high-ranking position in the church. When you head Haggis, Rathbun, and the rest of the former members speak about their experiences, youll never look at Scientology the same way again.Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal (2024)55%6.2/10tv-ma1SeasonGenreDocumentaryWatch on NetflixAt what point do crimes of the heart become actual crimes?

In the late 30s, Lamarr was even billed as the most beautiful woman in the world. But she was far more than just an ordinary actress.Bombshell; The Hedy Lamarr Story looks back at the life of the Hollywood starlet and her escape from Nazi Germany, as well as her rise to stardom. More importantly, it examines Lamarrs history as a self-taught inventor including her groundbreaking work on frequency hopping.Amanda Knox (2016)78%6.9/1092mGenreDocumentary, CrimeStarsAmanda Knox, Raffaele Sollecito, Patrick LumumbaDirected byRod Blackhurst, Brian McGinnWatch on NetflixMuch like Anna Nicole Smith, Amanda Knoxs story exposes the dark side of fame. Knox never set out to be notable or famous, but she became infamous when she was accused and convicted of murdering her college roommate, Meredith Kercher, by the Italian courts until she was ultimately acquitted after spending four years in prison.In the documentary that shares her name, Knox talks about her side of the story and how she lives with the stigma of being accused of a murder that took place nearly two decades ago. Whether you believe Knox or not, this will always be what she is remembered for. But within this film, Knox attempts to take control of her own narrative and she speaks out about being wrongly convicted of a heinous crime.Operation Varsity Blues: The College Admissions Scandal (2021)70%7/10r100mGenreDocumentary, Crime, DramaStarsMatthew Modine, Roger Rignack, Jillian PetersonDirected byChris SmithWatch on NetflixFor decades, college counselor Rick Singer ran a side-door hustle designed to get the children of extremely wealthy families into top American universities. Unlike a back-door donation of an entire building, Singers side doors paid college coaches and athletic directors to pass off wealthy applicants as athletic admissions and supplied students with fake scores and credentials, all for the tidy price of a few hundred thousand dollars. Through reenactments based on wiretapped phone conversations and court documents, this compelling documentary sheds light on just how corrupt Americas university system is and how wealth really does buy access.Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness (2020)76%7.5/10tv-ma2SeasonsGenreDocumentary, CrimeStarsJoe Exotic, Carole BaskinCreated byEric GoodeWatch on Netflix2020 will forever be known as the year of the coronavirus and the year of Joe Exotic, Tiger King. Eric Goode and Rebecca Chaiklins docuseries on the big cat trade in the United States became a bona fide meme and take factory. Its a documentary for the internet age, somehow consistently re-upping itself with the weirdness and insanity of its characters and stories episode after episode. Joe Exotic is an openly gay, polygamous, country-singing, gun-toting, mullet-sporting redneck who owns and operates a private big cat zoo in Oklahoma. His story is, somehow, even stranger.Editors RecommendationsMovie images and data from:Topics Blair MarnellBlair Marnell has been an entertainment journalist for over 15 years.

The Washington Post cut an ad urging Trump to fire Elon Musk, watchdog group Common Cause said.Common Cause said it had a $115,000 deal to run ads in the Post's Tuesday print editions.The Post initially approved the nature of the ad, and didn't say why it was rejected, the org said.The Washington Post scrapped an ad calling for President Donald Trump to "fire Elon Musk" that was slated to run in some of its Tuesday print editions, according to one of the organizations that ordered the ad.Advocacy group Common Cause had agreed to pay $115,000 to the Post to run an ad criticizing billionaire Elon Musk wrapped around the newspapers and a similar ad inside the paper, the organization told Business Insider.The ads are part of a bigger campaign by Common Cause called "Fire Elon Musk," urging people to sign a petition calling for Musk's removal as the head of the new Department of Government Efficiency.The ad, which Common Cause later posted on its website, features Elon Musk laughing behind an image of the White House, and says in large text, "Who's running this country: Donald Trump or Elon Musk?"Smaller text below the image states that the Tesla CEO "has created chaos and confusion and put our livelihoods at risk" and notes that "the Constitution only allows for one president at a time."The group said the Post initially approved the nature of the ad but that the Post informed Common Cause on Friday of its decision to drop the wrap ad from publication without explanation. The Post said it would allow Common Cause to run its similar ad inside the paper, per the organization, but Common Cause declined."It's deeply concerning that our ad was censored and rejected without a valid reason," said Virginia Kase Solomn, Common Cause's president and CEO, and Margaret Huang, Southern Poverty Law Center's president and CEO, in a joint statement. Common Cause planned to pay for the ads in collaboration with the Southern Poverty Law Center Action Fund."We believe this is limiting our freedom of expression at a critical time in our nation's history. This seems to show the Washington Post is feeling pressure to cover the news a certain way," Kase Solomn and Huang said.The Post declined to comment on its internal decisions about advertising campaigns. Its advertising guidelines state that the Post "accepts all types of advertising and does not decline advertising unless there is a compelling reason to do so," but "nonetheless reserves the right to position, revise, or refuse to publish any advertisement."The ads are part of a bigger campaign by Common Cause called "Fire Elon Musk," urging people to sign a petition calling for Musk's removal as the head of DOGE. The group says it's collected 60,000 signatures and organized thousands of calls to congressional representatives.Musk, the world's richest person, runs several companies including X, SpaceX, The Boring Company, and Tesla. He's now leading DOGE, the new commission that aims to slash federal spending and cut regulations.The Post's decision to pull the ad comes just a month after Elon Musk nodded at a friendship with the outlet's billionaire owner, Jeff Bezos, in a series of X posts. Musk and Bezos own competing companies, SpaceX and Blue Origin, respectively, and have exchanged playful jabs for years.In January posts, Musk and Bezos congratulated each other on their companies' rocket launches, and Musk posted clips from the 2008 comedy "Step Brothers," one of which showed its characters asking, "Did we just become best friends?"Here are the ads that Common Cause said it planned to run in the Washington Post: Common Cause Common Cause

Rumor: Rockstar Is In Talks With Top Roblox, Fortnite & GTA 5 Content CreatorsWhile speculations and imaginations surrounding Grand Theft Auto 6 have been circulating, they are all about in-game elements, like how massive and dynamic the world would be, smarter NPCs, creative quest design, or unexpected narrative plots or themes. Now, a new rumor has suggested that the developer might be focusing not only on the game itself but also expanding the game's universe using out-of-game powers. This intention has been reported by Digiday, whose three anonymous sources said that Rockstar Games has reached out to some "top Roblox and Fortnite creators, as well as dedicated GTA content creators."Their discussions focused on the possibility of creating custom experiences within GTA 6. "These experiences would allow creators to modify the game's environment and assets to bring their own intellectual property and potentially their brand sponsors into GTAs virtual sandbox."It's said that their conversations have remained "open-ended," and there has been no information on how the content creators would benefit from such cooperation beyond being present in arguably one of the most anticipated titles in the gaming community. There is no mention of whether such a plan would be applied to the online mode, although this seems more likely.In 2023, Rockstar acquired the http://Cfx.re team, which is known for its roleplay servers for GTA V (FiveM) and Red Dead Redemption 2 (RedM). The company said it had been excited about the community's creativity on roleplay servers for several years and wanted to support this direction by providing the authors with even more opportunities. It would be too early to say that GTA 6 will become a metaverse-style platform where user-generated content shines bright, almost as bright as the game itself. But this could be an interesting attempt and forecast endless possibilities for the content we might see originating from the game.

Fishing has been a part of the Trails series since the beginning. The only exception was the first game in the Calvard story arc, Trails Through Daybreak, but fishing has returned for Trails Through Daybreak 2. The mechanics vary depending on the game, but fishing typically involves a quick mini-game that requires you to use bait around a body of water. While fishing is not essential to the story, it is a fun mini-game that players can partake in when they want to take a break from the story, and here is how fishing works in Trails Through Daybreak 2.

Lighting has always been an important aspect of survival horror games. After all, giving players just enough vision to see a few steps ahead of the path, without revealing the horrors that lurk in the shadows, is what makes the general aesthetic and tone of these games so creepy, but some titles in this immensely popular genre have used darkness in very unique and effective ways.

Inkay, the revolving Pokmon from Kalos, can be found in the wild in Pokmon Go. Yes, Inkay can be shiny in Pokmon Go!While neither of this Pokmon have use in PvP content, Malamar is actually used in both Great and Ultra League PvP, so it may be worth grabbing some with decent IVs to use. Inkay is mostly known for its wackadoodle evolution method, where you need to hold your phone upside down. Yeah. I mean, I get that it makes sense because a Malamar is an elongated upside-down Inkay, but still. Come on.What is the shiny rate for Inkay in Pokmon Go?As per old research by the now-defunct website The Silph Road (via Wayback Machine), the shiny rate for Pokmon on a regular day is approximately one in 500. Inkay is not a confirmed Pokmon that gets a permaboost (meaning that its a rare spawn and thus gets a boosted shiny rate).What can I do to attract more shiny Pokmon?Not much, unfortunately. It appears to be random chance. Shiny Pokmon catch rates are set by developer Niantic, and they are typically only boosted during special events like Community Days or Safari Zones, or in Legendary Raids. There are no consumable items that boost shiny Pokmon rates.Where can I find a list of available shiny Pokmon?LeekDuck keeps a list of currently available shiny Pokmon. Its a helpful visual guide that illustrates what all of the existing shiny Pokmon look like.For more tips, check out Polygons Pokmon Go guides.
