This Is What Your Poop Is Trying to Tell You About Your Gut Health

While you may not regularly discuss your bowel movements with friends, it is still important to pay attention to them. After all, how often you poop, what your poop looks like and how long it takes you to poop can tell you a lot about your gut health, according to experts. To help you figure out what is normal versus unhealthy, we reached out to three gastroenterologists about everything you've ever wanted to know about your bowel movements. How often should you poop? You probably have someone

James Gunn Thinks ‘Anti-American Sentiment’ Is Hurting ‘Superman’ Overseas

James Gunn has a new Superman movie out—perhaps you’ve heard of it? The DC hero’s latest cinematic adventure, the first under DC Studios’ Gunn-led era, is a box-office hit and already has fans dreaming of sequels and spin-offs. But one notable quirk of those ticket sales is that Superman is doing better domestically than it is internationally, despite its seemingly broad appeal as a Hollywood superhero movie. Earlier this week, Variety reported that while Superman‘s numbers are impressive, earn

‘Marvel Rivals’ Will Let You Recreate the ‘Fantastic Four: First Steps’ Dive Bomb

Ask anyone what the Thing’s catchphrase is, and, almost certainly, everyone will simultaneously say, “It’s clobbering time!” That’s just been a fact of the character for years. And, in the new movie Fantastic Four: First Steps, it’s also the case, but with a little twist. A twist that’s coming to the video game Marvel Rivals in a kind of unprecedented synergy of gameplay and movie promotion. As seen in a recent trailer for First Steps, “It’s clobbering time!” is the in-universe catchphrase of t

‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ Isn’t Quite Fantastic, But It’s Pretty Great

The Fantastic Four: First Steps is like an ice-cold drink on a warm summer’s day. A slice of apple pie with a glass of milk. It’s a nice, simple, familiar-feeling movie that will make you feel warm and fuzzy for a while but maybe doesn’t have the lasting power of something stronger. It’s easily the best Fantastic Four movie ever, and yet, falls just short of being fully “fantastic.” Nevertheless, it’s still highly enjoyable. Directed by Matt Shakman (Wandavision), Fantastic Four takes place fou

Sutton SignWriting is a writing system for sign languages

SignWriting was invented in 1974 by Valerie Sutton , a ballet dancer who eight years earlier had developed a dance notation named Sutton DanceWriting . [8] The current standardized form of SignWriting is known as the International Sign Writing Alphabet (ISWA). [9] The SignWriting system is visually iconic: its symbols depict the hands, face, and body of a signer. And unlike most writing systems, which are written linearly, the symbols of SignWriting are written two-dimensionally, to represent t

With data brokers making big money by selling your personal details, it’s never been easier for bad actors to get access to your phone number, email address, physical address, and even sensitive data like your social security number. That doesn’t just leave you at risk from spammers and scammers, but some people unfortunately have to worry about their contact details being used for stalking and harassment … How to remove personal information Data brokers are companies whose business is buying

What the 'Superman' Post-Credits Scenes Mean for the Future of the DC Cinematic Universe

The new Superman movie continues to rule the box office after its second weekend, leading the pack with $57 million from US audiences, and this relaunch of the DC universe is only getting started. Superman stars Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor and David Corenswet as the Man of Steel. The movie isn't an origin story; it picks up when Superman is already well-known (and moments after he loses any fight-winning streak he previously had). I won't provide any more details

I’m Revisiting All of the Naked Gun Movies Before the Reboot. Here’s How You Can, Too

Growing up, the Naked Gun series was a staple in my household. I rented the movies so regularly that my parents gave me the trilogy on DVD for Christmas one year. These days, it’s easier to revisit old favorites through streaming services, but that box set still sits proudly in my media drawers. Even today, I find the straight-faced humor gut-bustlingly hilarious. While headliner Leslie Nielsen starred in some serious films like Forbidden Planet, The Poseidon Adventure and Prom Night, showcasing

‘Mortal Kombat II’ Is Ready to Be a Bigger, Better Sequel

Now that the first trailer for Mortal Kombat II dropped earlier this week, director Simon McQuoid’s free to talk about how this follow-up builds on the 2021 reboot. Talking to IGN, McQuoid opened up on ensuring the second movie delivered on the promise of the first movie, namely having the real fighting tournament that features franchise characters beating the hell out of each other. Said characters include the returning Sonya Blade, Raiden, and Liu Kang, and the newly introduced Kitana, Shao K

13 of the Best Movies Peacock Has to Offer

Peacock is full of must-see movies. Sure, the streaming conversation is often focused on the top-tier platforms like Netflix, Disney Plus and Prime Video. But the NBC Universal-owned streamer deserves its flowers -- and I'm going to show you why. Let's talk about blockbusters for a second. Universal Pictures has been churning out box office hits and Oscar-winning flicks for more than a century. A large sampling of these titles can be found here, including the first-ever blockbuster, Jaws, among

Microsoft Quietly Pulls the Plug on Its Movies and TV Store

Microsoft says technical support will also continue for issues

A Brief Guide to All the Taika Waititi Projects We’re Still Waiting For

It’s just part of Hollywood that projects will be announced with a lot of fanfare and then fade away, with suspects both usual (scheduling conflicts, creative differences, budget concerns) and unusual (global pandemics, industry-wide strikes) to blame. But certain creators seem to attach their names to movies or TV shows that never materialize with greater frequency—including Taika Waititi. His diverse career includes writing, directing, producing, and acting (Our Flag Means Death forever), and

ServiceNow’s acquisition of Moveworks is reportedly being reviewed over antitrust concerns

In Brief ServiceNow’s acquisition of enterprise AI startup Moveworks is reportedly drawing regulatory scrutiny. The acquisition is currently under review for antitrust by the U.S. Justice Department, according to Bloomberg, which cited sources familiar with the matter. The probe began in June, Bloomberg reported, and both companies have since received a “second request” calling for additional information that has to be provided before the deal can move forward. ServiceNow announced it was acq

The New ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ Betrays Itself From the Very Start

If you make an I Know What You Did Last Summer movie, one thing has to work above all else. Whatever the characters “did last summer” has to be bad enough for someone to plausibly return a year later and try to kill them. It’s one of the things the 1997 original gets right. A group of (mostly) drunk friends drive on a dark road, run into a person, and then, while he may or may not be still alive, throw his body into the ocean. Yeah, if I was hit by a bunch of drunk kids and left for dead, I’d fe

It's the End of the Road for Microsoft Store Movies and TV Shows. What It Means for You

Microsoft is exiting the market for selling and renting TV and movies across its platforms. There was no reason given for the abrupt change, with Microsoft simply posting the news on a support page on its Xbox website. "Microsoft has stopped selling new movie and TV content. Existing customers can continue to access their previously purchased content on Windows and Xbox devices," Microsoft said in the post. The company said playback and download options will continue to be available for shows

Microsoft unceremoniously kills off the Xbox Movies & TV store

You can longer rent or buy TV shows or movies, but you won’t lose any of your purchases. Microsoft has rather abruptly closed down its Movies & TV app, which is accessible on Xbox and Windows PCs via the Microsoft Store. This allowed people to rent or buy movies or TV shows natively through their console or computer’s storefront, but in a newly updated support page Microsoft said the service has ended. "Microsoft no longer offers new entertainment content for purchase, including movies and TV

We Almost Lived in a Timeline Where ‘Morbius’ Was Made by ‘Midsommar’ Director Ari Aster

Marvel’s perpetually delayed Blade movie, which took on new life as the costuming for Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, may never see the light of day. But it’s worth remembering we did already get a vampire movie centered on a Marvel character: a certain Dr. Michael Morbius. Midsommar and Hereditary director Ari Aster has now confirmed that at one point, he was asked to direct the Spider-Man spin-off movie, and the mind reels at what might have been. In a recent interview on Semafor’s Mixed Signals podc

The Hottest Movie Releases Dropping in 2025

This has been an epic year for movies, and 2025 is only halfway over. A collection of tentpole titles and must-see blockbusters has already hit the big screen. The trend of studios mining established IP continues, and popular franchises' remakes, sequels and spin-offs will compete for audiences' attention. James Gunn's Superman was way up on our list of must-see blockbusters in 2025, which was compiled at the beginning of the year. If you read my review, you'll know that it delivered. Anthony

Daisy Ridley’s Husband Cast in Adaptation of Former Reylo ‘Star Wars’ Fan Fiction

The behind-the-scenes story of an upcoming romantic comedy could, on its own, be a pretty fascinating movie. Here’s the pitch. A young Star Wars fan writes a piece of Reylo (that’s Rey and Kylo Ren for the non-shippers out there) alternative universe fanfiction. The fan is approached about turning the story into a novel, only, it can’t be specific to Star Wars anymore. So the names change, but the intention and romance stay the same. That book becomes a smash hit bestseller, Hollywood comes call

The official Tron: Ares trailer riffs on big tech and features a returning Jeff Bridges

There's finally a full trailer for Tron: Ares, the third installment in the decades-long sci-fi franchise. This comes after a teaser dropped a few months back and over two years after the film was first announced. The new footage is pretty cool, and gets into the meat of this threequel. It's a riff on AI and big tech, as corporate entities look to weaponize the digital creations of The Grid and bring them to the real world. This does not go well, as evidenced by shots of iconic franchise Recogn
