Jacob Elordi's transformation into the Creature in Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein required 10 to 11 hours in the makeup chair, using 42 prosthetic pieces across his entire body with 14 pieces just for the head and neck. Del Toro envisioned the Creature 'like a marble statue'. A beautiful monster... show more

One of the most talked-about "behind-the-scenes" feats was Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s transformation into a younger version of Bruce Willis. He spent roughly 3 hours in the makeup chair every single morning to apply prosthetic pieces (specifically to his nose and lips) to match Willis’s features. Gordon-Levitt didn't just change his face; he studied Bruce Willis’s voice and mannerisms relentlessly. He even recorded Willis’s voice from his older movies and listened to them on a loop to perfect the grit and cadence of his speech.

She fed a million-dollar diamond ring to the tiny monster... and in seconds, the little creature spat out ONE HUNDRED identical sparkling diamonds. 😱 This wasn’t just any beast. It was an alien-raised pet with god-like abilities — a living factory that could endlessly reproduce anything it consumed. The kingdom had been using it to create legendary pearls of eternal beauty and youth. But the King had bigger plans. He selected the most powerful pearl in existence and ordered his guards to deliver it to Lisa. The moment Lisa fed it to the creature… chaos erupted. Hundreds of thousands of massive, glowing pearls exploded out, flooding into the planet’s central energy pool. Power surged across the entire world. For the first time in history, unlimited energy flowed to every corner of the planet. But the glory was short-lived. The skies tore open. The planet was invaded. And just when everything seemed lost… they reappeared again. What happened next was pure, unforgettable chaos. 🔥

FROM REGULAR NECK PAIN TO COMPLETE PARALYSIS.... She lives in Benue state with her family and has been in a courtship relationship for a while. Some few weeks ago, she woke up from her sleep with neck pain which seemed to be a regular pain and could probably be easily treated with an analgesic; however, the reverse was the case, and just in a matter of days, her case worsened; she could barely lift any part of her body. She became totally paralysed from the neck down. It was in this paralytic state that she was brought into the Glory Dome (Dunamis Headquarters) in Abuja for the Healing and deliverance service of 13th February 2024. She was literally carried into the service. It was indeed an emotional moment in the service as God's servant, Dr. Pastor Paul Enenche, laid hands on her & prayed brutally and passionately for her healing. As God's servant prayed in that name JESUS, and took authority over the spirit of paralysis, her limbs and body began to miraculously regain strength. While the congregation was emotional and excited about the massive improvement in her condition, she jumped up and began to walk, and thereafter, she began to dance aggressively. Her fiance and mother who were present were both in tears and in awe of what God did in just a matter of minutes. In that atmosphere of power, all manner of miracles began to happen, people who came in wheelchairs got up and began to walk, and a man on an oxygen cylinder removed his oxygen mask and began to breathe normally for the first time in a long while, amidst several miracles and healings. WHAT A MIGHTY GOD WE SERVE!

Elon posted a lot over the last four days, but put it all together and there’s an interesting theme 🤔 He sees a future where AI agents could outnumber humans online 1,000:1, while Robotaxis and Optimus are constantly connected. At the same time, he thinks Starlink could eventually handle 90%+ of global IP traffic. Then Cybercab shows up with Starlink built in. SpaceX provides the network, Grok provides the intelligence, and Tesla builds the machines using both. Feels like we’re starting to see how all these pieces are supposed to fit together. $TSLA $SPCX

From 82-84 with pain to 86-88 T90 pain-free 🔥⁠ ⁠ A remote athlete update from Performance Coach Ryan Kirk ⁠ After a tough sophomore season struggling with arm pain and sitting around 82-84, Derek Peterson had a big-time breakthrough, sitting 86-88 and grabbing his first 90 with no pain (yes, it was a ball). ⁠ ⁠ Two main things we attacked to get to where we are now:⁠ ⁠ 1. Pushy arm action⁠ ⁠ Derek was basically throwing the ball like a dart. So the main focus over the fall was learning how to pull the ball into release using drills like the Pivot Pick, Lasso, and Ten Toes, along with cues like “let your body throw the arm” and “let the arm lag behind the body.”⁠ ⁠ Derek figured it out pretty quickly, and we were heading in the right direction until “pulling the arm into release” turned into him yanking his head glove side and flying out with the arm. From there, we had to take a step back and clean up some range and tissue quality in the neck, bicep/tricep, pec, and shoulder, as well as re-learn how to pull into release while keeping his head on the target.⁠ ⁠ 2. Loading the back hip⁠ ⁠ Derek was also dumping into the quad, which was causing him to extend out of his back hip and had some influence on the pushy arm action as well. It took a lot of trial and error, but the key drills that seemed to help him get a feel for this were the drop step, hop into, and hover drills.⁠ ⁠ Both of these components are still a work in progress, but I'm stoked to see all of his hard work finally start to pay off and to see him continue to improve moving forward!⁠ ⁠ -Ryan⁠

Swimmer Owen O’Keefe swam from Baltimore to Mizen Head in just under 11 hours, marking the first successful completion of the route. Owen O'Keefe (33), who works as an ecologist and is based in Fermoy, started his 39km swim at Baltimore Harbour. He continued south of Sherkin Island and Cape Clear via the Fastnet Lighthouse to the Mizen peninsula, marking the first successful completion of the route. But this wasn't Owen's first record-breaking swim: he has a few under his belt, including a swim across the English Channel aged 16 in 2009 in 10 hours 19 minutes, making him the youngest Irish person to swim this distance.

📽️Raising an Army: Stonewall Jackson’s Call to Arms in Gods and Generals 🔥 This powerful scene from the 2003 film *Gods and Generals* captures the early days of the American Civil War in Virginia, as Confederate forces begin to mobilize following the state’s secession. The clip shows the transformation of ordinary citizens into soldiers, blending patriotic fervor, religious conviction, and military preparation under the leadership of Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson. The scene opens with crowds cheering as supplies are requisitioned for the war effort, including cattle and horses taken from a train bound for Washington. Jackson, portrayed with quiet intensity by Stephen Lang, oversees the preparations while engaging in conversations that reveal both his stern discipline and deep faith. Artillery pieces are solemnly christened “Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John,” highlighting the strong religious element that defined many Confederate soldiers. Jackson emphasizes rigorous training, drawing from history and stressing the importance of the bayonet, while welcoming the arrival of the flamboyant cavalry officer J.E.B. Stuart. The moment builds to a stirring address to the assembled troops, where the men are reminded of their duty to defend their homes and state. The speech underscores the painful shift from loyalty to the Union to the defense of Virginia, framing the coming conflict as one of necessity rather than choice. It’s a raw and dramatic portrayal of how the war began for many in the South — not with grand battles, but with the solemn raising of an army from among friends and neighbors. A compelling look at leadership, duty, and the personal cost of a nation dividing. #GodsAndGenerals #StonewallJackson #CivilWar #AmericanCivilWar #StephenLang #JEBStuart #HistoricalDrama #CivilWarMovie #ConfederateArmy #RaisingAnArmy #HistoryOnScreen #WarMovies #Patriotism #MovieScene #ClassicCinema

THE WARMTH RETURNS IT'S LIKE THE DAY BREAKING FOR GRACE 😭 2. Rocky leaning in as HARD into the hug as possible because he gets it now, he's missed Grace too 3. Grace's world inside the Hail Mary looking dim and dull as he waited for his Rocky to heal and come back to him 4. the way the music changes into a more hopeful and sweet sound when Rocky starts to make his way to Grace and goes "Grace?" 5. Rocky following Grace's sleepy hand movement with his entire body he's so fucking cute 😭 6.

For the transformation sequences in Tom Holland's "Fright Night" (1985), it took up to 8 hours to complete Chris Sarandon's makeup. Sarandon was uncomfortable spending that long sitting in a chair doing nothing, and since he had experience doing his own makeup for his work on the stage, so he volunteered to help. He did some of the stippling, and while the makeup men were applying prosthetics to his face and head, he worked on the finger extensions. Sarandon has often joked that the rubber fingers caused difficulties whenever he had to urinate, so costume supervisor Mort Schwartz constantly offered to help him. He replied to Schwartz, 'Thank you, no, I'll just use a coat hanger!'" William Ragsdale recalled one instance when Chris Sarandon spent an entire day in the makeup chair, and when he was finally fully transformed into the monster, a producer informed him that they were not going to be able to shoot the scene that day. "And Chris Sarandon said, 'Okay,' and turned around and went and took it off, it was amazing!" Ragsdale exclaimed. "I would have gone through the roof, but he didn't. His will had been broken by that point!" ("Fright Night Reunion Q&A Panel from Days of the Dead", YT, 2012, "Fright Night" DVD Commentary, Pirate Commentaries & Wiki) P.S: On this day, 41 years ago, Tom Holland's "Fright Night" (1985) was released in the USA.

While we’re waiting for the feds to arrest the guy who murdered Renée Good… ICE agents are targeting immigrant communities. On Sunday, on the east side of St. Paul, at least seven ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket, while neighbors filmed with their cellphones, honked car horns, blew whistles, and shouted at them to leave. The elderly man was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the U.S. in the Vietnam War. Have you noticed ICE is using suppressors on their rifles? More on that in the 🧵

I’ve been working with my friend Job for over ten years. Sculptor, artist and designer, his atelier is a secret wonderland from which he creates art that can be found in museums and galleries across the world. We have created several tours and sculptures together but never filmed anything for a video. For the first time he opened the doors to his incredible atelier and allowed me to shoot my new music video for Apocalypse Calypso. It was like being allowed to play in a beautiful psychedelic parallel world. Chris Turner the director took on the challenge of capturing me with these beautiful pieces of art and I created the custom looks for Atelier Mika together with Bruno Simone. I hope you love this video as much as I do and it’s out now on YouTube. Thank you to all of those who helped us make this X Studio Job Job Smeets #RebeccaSharkey #apocalypsecalypso

United Airlines pilot buys 30 pizzas for stranded passengers after 7-hour delay. A United Airlines flight from San Francisco to Houston was forced to make an emergency landing in Albuquerque, New Mexico, after a passenger suffered a medical emergency. The unexpected diversion left about 150 passengers tired, hungry, and stuck at the gate for seven hours while the airline arranged a new crew. Airport restaurants had already closed for the night, and the $15 food vouchers offered by the airline were useless. Instead of just apologizing, the captain took matters into his own hands. Using his personal money, he ordered 30 large pizzas from a local shop and had them delivered straight to the gate. He then personally served every passenger before taking a slice for himself. The heartfelt gesture turned frustration into gratitude and quickly went viral as a true story of kindness in the skies.

The same kinds of productivity gains we've seen in coding with AI agents are heading to the rest of knowledge work. This is the jump when you go from having a chatbot to being able to actually have an agent go off and do work for minutes or even hours and come back with a complete work output that you then review. Here's an example of the new Box Agent filling out an RFP response from an existing knowledge base. This process would normally take hours to fill out, and requires the full attention of the user doing the work. Now, you provide the Box Agent with the RFP questions, and it will go off, make a plan, extract all the relevant questions, read through existing source material to come up with an answer, and then generate a new word document as the final output. All while you're doing something else. The key to this architecture is that the agent is able to use all of the same tools in the background that a user uses to get work done. The agent can search for documents, read entire files, run scripts and tools in the background, and even be able to write code on the fly to automate tasks it hasn't seen before. And best of all, the Box Agent will (soon) work from the Box MCP and CLI so you can invoke it in any agentic system as a step in a process. This kind of agent complexity would have been impossible even 6 months ago. Models consistently failed at tracking long running tasks or using the right tools at the right moment for the task. But this is all now possible because of models like GPT-5.4, Opus 4.6, and Gemini 3, and is only getting better by the month. Just as we moved from engineers writing code and using AI as an assistant to answer questions, in many areas of knowledge work -like legal, finance, consulting, sales, marketing, and more- when we have a problem we'll just kick off the AI agent to just go work on it for us in the background.

ALSATIAN DOG BRUCE SPOTTED FLOATING THREE MILES OUT TO SEA IN KAYAK AND SAVED BY HERO BOAT CREW Bruce the Alsatian was playing in the waves at Bamburgh beach in Northumberland on Sunday afternoon when his owner put him in an inflatable kayak and swam beside him. A sudden gust of wind dragged the kayak out to sea leaving Bruce stranded three miles offshore near the Farne Islands. His owner raised the alarm and tried to swim after him but turned back as coastguards scrambled a lifeboat. The two man crew of Serenity Farne Islands Boat Tours Jimmy Reid and Aaron Fordy heard the radio alert while returning from a tour spotted the dog and raced to the rescue. During the dramatic save Bruce slipped his harness and fell into the water but Aaron grabbed him by the scruff of the neck while Jimmy hauled them both aboard. The cold wet and shocked dog was wrapped in towels and safely returned to Seahouses Harbour for an emotional reunion with his relieved owner.

The avatar on the site is a real version of me, not AI. My wife scanned my body with an app called Polycam. She took ~300 photos of me from different angles. Then I imported the file into Blender and used their MCP to connect with Codex. It did its magic to display it in HTML using three.js. The avatar kinda looks like me, but it's a bit weird and clunky, so here's my actual body, where your brand’s tattoo will go for HYROX.

Incredible footage captured by CBGvideos in 2005 showcases the entrance to Nutty Putty Cave and the notorious Birth Canal section, the very area John Edward Jones was attempting to find before becoming trapped and tragically dying. Jones visited the cave on November 24, 2009, with his brother Josh. While exploring with Josh, Jones mistook a narrow tunnel for the similarly tight "Birth Canal" passageway and became stuck upside-down in an area measuring 10 by 18 inches (25 by 46 cm), around 400 feet (120 m) from the cave's entrance. Jones was held in place like a hook, unable to move without causing serious harm due to the bends his body was placed in. A large team of rescue workers came to his assistance. Still, they were unable to retrieve Jones using a sophisticated rope-and-pulley system after a pulley failed mid-extrication. After 28 hours, Jones suffered cardiac arrest due to the strain placed upon his body over several hours by his inverted, compressed position. Rescuers concluded that it would be too dangerous to attempt to retrieve his body; the landowner and Jones' family came to an agreement that the cave would be permanently closed, with the body sealed inside, as a memorial to Jones. Explosives were used to collapse the ceiling close to Jones' body, and the entrance hole was filled with concrete to prevent further access.

Incredible footage captured by CBGvideos in 2005 showcases the entrance to Nutty Putty Cave and the notorious Birth Canal section, the very area John Edward Jones was attempting to find before becoming trapped and tragically dying. Jones visited the cave on November 24, 2009, with his brother Josh. While exploring with Josh, Jones mistook a narrow tunnel for the similarly tight "Birth Canal" passageway and became stuck upside-down in an area measuring 10 by 18 inches (25 by 46 cm), around 400 feet (120 m) from the cave's entrance. Jones was held in place like a hook, unable to move without causing serious harm due to the bends his body was placed in. A large team of rescue workers came to his assistance. Still, they were unable to retrieve Jones using a sophisticated rope-and-pulley system after a pulley failed mid-extrication. After 28 hours, Jones suffered cardiac arrest due to the strain placed upon his body over several hours by his inverted, compressed position.
