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.

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.
