Eddington gets the pandemic right but still isn’t a great movie

theverge.com Kevin Nguyen 2026-01-12 00:00:00

A24 is known for its prestige arthouse films, but in its early days as a distributor, it made most of its money from elevated horror films like Ari Aster’s Hereditary and Midsommar. Over a decade in, the ambitions of A24 and Aster have expanded beyond genre film. But for both, the more recent results have been mixed. Eddington, Aster’s latest, feels like a continuation of the maximalist guilt-trip Beau Is Afraid. Joaquin Phoenix stars once again, though the concerns here are less Jewish and Oed

futurism.com Unknown 2026-01-20 14:30:46

In Denver, scientists uncovered a 67.5-million-year-old dinosaur fossil deep underground — and by chance, it just so happened to be buried underneath the parking lot of a museum that houses similar specimens. As the Denver Museum of Nature and Science explained in Catalyst, its online magazine, the ancient bone fragment was buried some 763 feet below the institution's parking lot, making it the oldest and deepest such fossil to be discovered within city limits.

It's been almost 30 years since Mission: Impossible hit cinemas in 1996 as an adaptation of the 1966 television series of the same name.

How they did so, however, remains a mystery, especially since they would have had to cross one of the planet’s strongest ocean currents. To address this enduring question, scientists decided to attempt the Paleolithic voyage themselves.
