There are three kinds of movies: bad movies, good movies, and passable movies. Bad movies are bad, but passable movies are the worst. In this video essay, Nerdwriter lays out the case against passable movies — lazy scripts, lazy acting, and a lack of caring about the characters.
Something happened to cars in the 80s. The steel boxes we were used to suddenly began to melt, sprouting smooth curves where there were once sharp edges. This lesson in automotive history explains how Europe, fuel economy regulations, and computers combined to turn the massive land barges of yesterday into the swoopy shapes of modern automobiles.
Pray for Paris. Pray for Orlando. Black Lives Matter. Blue Lives Matter. The U.S. election. David Bowie. Prince. I think we can all agree 2016 was rough. Google reminds us just how rough with their yearly roundup. The video takes us through all of the highs and lows of last year, search by search. Here's to a better 2017.
Running 26.2 miles is a lot different than tackling your local charity 5K. To accommodate the needs of marathon runners, Nike created the Alphafly line, now in its third generation. It employs two types of Zoom cushioning — a high-stack ZoomX foam midsole that encourages a smooth transition and Air Zoom units in the forefoot for an energy return boost. A wide, full-length carbon fiber Flyplate improves forward propulsion, and the breathable Atomknit 3.0 upper is paired with a lacing system designed with racer input to enhance comfort.

With the S8 MaxV Ultra, Roborock ensures every inch of your house is clean. The new model features a Flexi Arm Design with an extendable side brush that reaches into corners, while an Extra Edge Mopping System cleans along edges. A Reactive AI 2.0 Obstacle Recognition uses a 3D structured light and an RGB camera to identify and avoid obstacles in its path, and a PreciSense LiDAR navigation system scans rooms to create a map and determine the most efficient route. It upgrades suction power to 10,000Pa to pick up even more dust and dirt, a Carpet+ Boost System ups the hair pick-up rate by 30%, and the mopping system scrubs floors 4,000 times per second, detecting carpets and rugs along the way. With built-in voice assistance, users can start cleaning with a simple command, and when the job is done, the vacuum will retreat to its dock to automatically empty, wash, dry, and recharge itself. The S8 MaxV Ultra will be available April 22, 2024, and for a limited time, get a triple gift pack valued at $1,000 with your purchase.

It's a movie so good, even the people at Screen Junkies had a hard time finding things to make fun of about it. They had to dig deep, but managed to come up with Han Solo's excellent use of finger pointing, Luke Skywalker's transition from whiny to just dumb, and the creepy Princess Leia-Han-Luke love triangle. And while The Empire Strikes Back might be the sequel that started Hollywood on the path to endless sequels, it's one of the best sequels in film.
The Mer de Glace is a glacier valley in the French Alps, known as the largest and longest glacier in France. Located in the northern slopes of the Mont Blanc massif, the deep ridges and ice caves are a skiers playground.
