The way this has influenced so many hallway scenes. Netflix’s Daredevil + James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 included.

Watched Oldboy in a theater last night, and judging by the reaction of the audience (most of whom probably already had seen it or at least knew what was coming), the movie hasn’t lost an ounce of its power in the last two decades.

Las Vegas Aces superstar A’ja Wilson shows us what’s inside her Labubu-laden Louis Vuitton bag. The WNBA MVP always carries two pairs of glasses, depending on what the occasion calls for, and pulls out her favorite snack, a bag of Sour Patch Kids. The most meaningful item in A’ja’s bag is her late grandmother’s coin purse, which she now uses to carry her ID cards. “I don’t put coins in it because my heart’s in it.”
