With lockdown giving people ample time to re-watch countless movies and TV shows, fans have taken to social media to share the quirks they never spotted before, and we’ve rounded up the best from 2021. ‘The Lord of the Rings’ Fan Spots Incredible Movie Detail 20 Years Later The epic trilogy celebrated its 20th anniversary this month, with The Fellowship of the Ring released in December 2001. While it may be decades since it first hit our screens, a film buff just noticed a detail regarding Gandalf’s, played by Sir Ian McKellen, staff....

The 30-year-old full-back is set to skipper the Selecao when they face Switzerland in a Group E clash in Rostov-on-Don on Sunday. Brazil are among the favourites to win the finals in Russia, with an expectant nation hoping Tite’s side can seal the country’s sixth World Cup triumph. Rather than feeling overwhelmed by the pressure weighing down on the players, Marcelo is embracing his prestigious role. “It’s something I like about leadership, I feel I can transmit it to the group,” he said....

“Sediment can increase by a factor of 100 in areas that burn,” says Whiting. That means clogged streams and culverts nearby; farther downstream, silts and clays can smother fish eggs and disrupt drinking-water quality. The Forest Service and other agencies are preparing for the worst, re-seeding 80,000 acres with quick-growing grasses, laying down barriers and trenches along hillsides and expanding culverts. The efforts have already paid off in New Mexico, where the summer thunderstorm season passed without major incidents....

The film follows the Eternals, an immortal alien race that has secretly lived on Earth for thousands of years, as they re-emerge to fight a new threat to human life. This film takes place after the events of Avengers: Endgame, so is a continuation of the timeline alongside other new releases like Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Loki. The group in Eternals includes some big names like Richard Madden, Angelina Jolie and Salma Hayek, and recent reports have suggested Harry Styles also appears in the film....

“What do most people not realize can seriously f**k you up?” read the question asked by u/Specktakles88, which amassed nearly 30,000 votes since it was posted on Thursday. Teeth One Reddit response involved problems as it pertains to teeth. “I had a filling that fell out and I ignored it, worst pain ever,” one Reddit user wrote. “Cost me a lot too.” “An infection in your gums can easily migrate to your heart,” commented another....

It is as one who has experienced this astounding, rapid and unthinkable transformation in my own world (and resisted much of it along the way) that I look at the tumult in Congress and think I know what is going on. In the same span of time I am talking about they have gone from government by junta to a kind of quasi-democratic system. They have gone from unaccountability to open sessions, sunshine caucuses and unending threats of insurrection against those in authority....

Before Hubble took a look, other telescopes had spied protoplanetary disks around just four (of the estimated 400 billion) stars in our Milky Way galaxy. But these disks were old, and didn’t necessarily form when the star did. Hubble’s photo shows directly that the dust around a newborn star is spinning too quickly to be sucked into the stellar inferno; instead, it naturally spreads out into the sort of pancake that can break into planets one day....

They’ve managed to turn the visiting Patriots into the Steelers’ Mount Everest. There is no doubting the Patriots have been the NFL’s dominant franchise over the past two decades. They’ve won 35 more games than any other team since the turn of the century. They’ve won five of the past 16 Super Bowls. They’ve more than controlled the series between the two teams during that same period, with a 10-3 record that includes three wins over the Steelers in AFC championship games....

They want civilians off the roads and bridges. With Iraqi paramilitary troops dressing as civilians and, in some cases, using them as human shields, it is even more imperative that the United States get that message out. Saddam’s army has also been targeted with information. Some leaflets–and radio broadcasts–tell them how to surrender, others warn them not to use chemical or biological weapons. One leaflet enlarged on the big screens at the Central Command press briefing yesterday warned WE CAN SEE EVERYTHING....

On Monday, several photos and videos of the incident were posted to social media. In some posts, the airline was accused of removing the passengers only because an 18-month-old baby was not wearing a mask. Others suggested the airline was guilty of anti-Semitism, as the baby in question was part of a Jewish family. But shortly after the videos were posted to Twitter, Frontier Airlines addressed the incident in a tweet that stated, “The issue did not stem from a child under 2....

Home Run Inn Frozen Foods, based in Woodbridge, Illinois, is recalling more than 13,000 pounds of frozen pizza that could be contaminated with “extraneous materials,” specifically metal, according to the FSIS release. The product in question is 33.5-oz cartons of the company’s “Chicago’s Premium Pizzeria Deluxe Sausage Classic Pizza.” The recalled products were produced on June 6, 2022 and have a best by date of December 3, 2022. The products also bear the establishment number “EST....

“Very frustrating,” said midfielder Michael Bradley after the match, which left TFC in fifth place and dropping in the Eastern Conference. “We’ve been through this before and you get to a certain point [where] you get sick and tired of talking about it, just in terms of [it being] a big game, playing at home, wanting to come out and start the right way, start with energy, push the game in our favor right away and we’re just not able to....

Lawmakers voted 50-48 on party lines to increase the U.S. borrowing limit by $480 billion, which is expected to keep the country solvent until December 3. The final measure required a simple majority, which GOP Senators Richard Burr of North Carolina and Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee did not vote in. However, there was bipartisan backing for the procedural hurdle that required 60 votes, with 11 GOP lawmakers siding with Democrats....

Jackson, a Republican who represents Texas’ 13th congressional district, served as former President Donald Trump’s White House physician and suffered criticism for his effusive praise of Trump’s health The 14 Republicans have signed a letter calling on Biden to take a cognitive assessment and pointed to examples of what they described as the president’s “mental decline.” “Unfortunately, your mental decline and forgetfulness have become more apparent over the past 18 months,” the letter reads....

Late last week, Josh Brown’s journals, which detailed serial domestic abuse with his now ex-wife Molly Brown, were released by the King’s County Sheriff’s Office. The 165 pages represented a specter of new developments for the New York Giants and the NFL. MORE: When will sports world stop treating women ’nasty'? If you’ll recall, the league suspended Brown for the opening game of the 2016 season — while Tom Brady was suspended for the first quarter of the season for his, ahem, role in deflating (or not deflating) footballs....

Bellevue Deputy Marshal Nate Silvester, using his @nateswildn TikTok account, posted a video last week in which he pretended to call the Los Angeles Lakers player to discuss a stabbing incident in progress. The video, which has since been viewed 4 million times, was prompted by James’ tweeted demand for “accountability” from police following the fatal shooting of 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant, who was holding a knife when Columbus, Ohio, officers responded on April 20....

“These are the same people who tell black people ‘slavery was so long ago, get over it,’” a Twitter user wrote, sharing a photo from the ceremony picturing participants dressed in period outfits. “Meanwhile, most of the remains of enslaved humans never even got marked graves,” commented another Twitter user. “They were hidden from the public in remote places and forgotten—even had houses/businesses built on top of them.” Others described the ceremony as “just weird” and “pathetic....

Writing in a post shared to Mumsnet under the handle mrshiddleston69, the unwelcome guest explained she had been unfriended on Facebook and blocked on WhatsApp by the bride after seeking “clarity” on the issue. While it was once commonplace for kids to attend events like weddings, there is growing evidence that change is afoot. Joy, a digital wedding planning platform, recently conducted a survey of over 1,300 users. They found that 74 percent of respondents felt it was totally normal for couples to want a kid-free wedding....
