How could they not include Looney Tunes Back In Action? I was born in 1998, and that was my favourite film to ever come out in the early 2000s. He is, and will always be, my childhood hero.

Love this dude I find it funny that they skipped over like a whole bunch of movies to get to the whale I would’ve loved to hear about journey to the center of the Earth and his experience with Josh Hutcherson and Looney Tunes back in action, such an underrated movie

Backstage at Zara Larsson’s Viral Lollapalooza Show | Soundcheck | Vogue

LAVISHLY DEMURE

An exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how Zara Larsson prepares for her viral Lollapalooza performance. As the Swedish pop star gets ready for one of her biggest gigs yet, a show-stopping concert at Chicago’s iconic Lollapalooza music festival, she gives us an intimate look at her day. We begin eight hours before showtime in Zara’s hotel room, where she does vocal warm-ups, eats breakfast, and reminisces about the last time she played Lollapalooza, ten years ago. Once she arrives at the festival grounds, Zara gets into glam, drawing inspiration from a colorful, sea-dwelling crawfish. After spending time in hair and makeup, she heads backstage for a few final rehearsals with her dancers before taking the stage.
