SOS, I Can't Stop Laughing at These Very Specific Bird Box Memes

At this point, you've probably come to the realization that, while Bird Box is a decent Netflix horror film, the hilarious memes it's inspired have been an even more incredible gift to us all.

In addition to perfect observations about lines of dialogue like "I CHOOSE WHO LOOKS" (and the beauty of shirtless Tom), the Sandra Bullock sci-fi flick has also given rise to a very specific meme on Twitter involving two other horror films: Hush, which is about a deaf woman outwitting a serial killer, and A Quiet Place, which follows a family struggling to escape detection from aliens that hunt by sound.

So, Hush = "can't hear," A Quiet Place = "can't speak," Bird Box = "can't see," and the final part of the equation is made complete by a surprise fourth image, which you can see in the A+ tweets ahead. And then, once you're done laughing, find out what the creatures in the film really look like, according to Bullock (warning: you'll start laughing all over again).

Outlander's New Episode Changes 4 Key Plot Points From the Book - Here's Why That's a Good Thing

Warning: spoilers for Outlander season four, below.

It's no secret that the Outlander show writers have had a formidable task in adapting Diana Gabaldon's lengthy books for television. As executive producer Maril Davis told POPSUGAR in a recent interview, "Diana's books are huge and there's no way to get ever nook and cranny from the books onto the show."

That being said, the latest episode, titled "The Birds and the Bees," felt even more sped up than most entries into the series. The 50-minute story manages to cover months of time, condensing and omitting key plot points from the book left and right. In case you need a refresher about how exactly it all goes down in the Gabaldon's novel - or if you've never read the books and are curious - here are the biggest differences in the adaptation and what they mean for the show.

The Aftermath of Brianna's Rape

In the book, days pass between Brianna (Sophie Skelton) consummating her marriage to Roger (Richard Rankin) and being raped by Stephen Bonnet (Ed Speleers), whereas on the show, less than an hour goes by between when Roger storms off and Brianna meets Bonnet. In fact, readers don't see the rape happening in real time; they hear about it later when Brianna recounts her trauma to Claire (Caitriona Balfe). All of this happens after she has met her father and traveled to Fraser's Ridge.

But it makes sense to change the order of things around, especially here. Seeing it onscreen - even if the rape actually happens mostly offscreen - gives Brianna's attack a greater impact than hearing about it later. Plus, it has always felt a little weird reading the book to think that sometime in the midst of handfasting with Roger and meeting Jamie, Brianna meets Bonnet and is raped. She goes about her business as if nothing has happened, and we only learn about the rape months later, which is quite jarring.

Fergus's Trial

Non-book readers may be surprised to learn that there's a whole side plot where Fergus (played by Cesar Domboy in the show) is on trial for attacking a redcoat who was trying to steal his horse. That's what brings Jamie (Sam Heughan) down from the ridge, to testify on Fergus's behalf - and it turns out it was actually Marsali (Lauren Lyle) who kicked the redcoat in the jaw when he tried to steal the horse. Brianna even attends the trial before heading back to the ridge.

This sort of thing definitely adds more intrigue to the agents of the Crown being out to get Jamie - they try to make him come to the trial to testify during harvest, thereby damaging the harvest because Claire can't possibly bring in all the crops herself - but it makes sense why it was cut. The show just doesn't have the same luxury Gabaldon has with her pacing.

"I think if you're a book fan, you're like - I want to see every single page in that book translated to the screen," Davis told us. "[But] we have 13 episodes, as opposed to Diana - she's said many times she has so much more time and luxury to spread these things out . . . The best we can do is lay out the story, lay out the major tent poles, lay out where we need to go and fit in as much as we can. That means, obviously, that a lot of story has to go. But at the end of the day, if we can stay true to the spirit of the book and the spine of the book, we feel we've done our job."

Brianna Finds Her Parents

Brianna meeting Jamie happens basically the same way on the show as it does in the book, though interestingly, book Brianna gets to briefly meet her aunt, Jocasta (Maria Doyle Kennedy), at River Run before Fergus's trial.

Claire, however, is nowhere to be seen. Brianna isn't reunited with her until they make their way back to Fraser's Ridge - and we don't get to hear Brianna tell her parents about the death notice. It is mentioned in passing and doesn't come up again until much later, plus in the book, they have a definite date for the fire that will kill Jamie and Claire.

The Misunderstanding With Roger

The show definitely has the gist of this storyline down, but there's one big difference: on the show, Lizzie (Caitlin O'Ryan) knows for sure that Brianna was raped because she sees the aftermath with her own eyes. Lizzie assumes it was Roger, the man she saw arguing with Brianna in the street. When he appears at Fraser's Ridge, Lizzie tells Jamie and Ian (John Bell) that he's the man who attacked Bree.

In the book, when Bree returns from her handfasting and lovemaking with Roger, she hasn't been raped yet. That happens days later. That night, Lizzie infers an awful lot based on Bree's demeanor after her fight with Roger and then later, Lizzie takes it upon herself to tell Jamie that Roger raped Brianna. Lizzie is quite meddlesome and presumptuous in the book, and it's actually kind of nice that the show changed this a bit. It makes the misunderstanding feel a bit less contrived.

Suffice to say, the show writers managed to squeeze a great many events from the book into this episode. But as Davis tells us, they do the best they can with the allotment of screen time they're given, and she actually doesn't think this season is whizzing along any faster than previous seasons have.

"I'm not sure I've noticed this season more than other seasons that it's going so much faster, but I'm thrilled the way it all worked out. We certainly break the season where we pull out the tent-pole moments and want to make sure we hit everything, and I'm sure that we did that," says Davis. "At the end of the day, we just have to try to come to a consensus among ourselves and try to do the major moments and stay on the path. If we can stick to the spirit of the book and if Diana is happy, we feel we've done the best job we can. I think there's a very satisfying ending to the season."

In Today's Weird News, It Turns Out Catfish's Nev Schulman Had a Secret Cameo in Bird Box

The ensemble cast of Netflix's Bird Box is really quite something, isn't it? Between superstar Sandra Bullock battling against the apocalypse and John Malkovich doing . . . well, whatever it is he's doing in that movie, there's a lot of people to keep track of. Even Machine Gun Kelly is in there! And Get Out's Lil Rel Howery! And Catfish host Nev Schulman!

Wait . . . huh?

Yes, Nev "Reverse Google Image Search" Schulman actually has a hard-to-spot cameo alongside his wife, Laura Perlongo, in the horror film. As it turns out, they're two of the figures featured in the painting Bullock's character, Malorie, is working on at the start of the film when her sister (Sarah Paulson) stops by to drop off groceries.

"#BirdBox was scary and all, but the creepiest part is how much the couple in Sandra Bullock's painting looks like me and Laura..." he joked on Twitter, before adding that their cameo is purposeful. "JK JK...we actually know the artist who did the paintings for #BirdBox and posed for her (check her out on insta @lilyjmorris)."

Morris is an incredibly talented artist, and this isn't the first time Schulman and his wife have posed for her. An intimate painting of the couple kissing is featured in Playboy's interview with Morris from July, in which she discusses painting from "the voyeur's view."

"I spent my young life desperately trying to figure out how to be in a successful relationship with a partner and my tumultuous self," she told the magazine. "I made these paintings to reflect on the realizations I've had along the way as well as the insights collected from honest and equally chaotic friends."

Sounds a bit like the journey Malorie takes in the film, no? Check out Morris's impressive painting from Bird Box, below.

Will There Be a Bird Box Sequel? Here Are 4 Ways the Story Could Continue

Warning: spoilers for the ending of Bird Box ahead!

Netflix's latest star-studded, big-budget film, Bird Box, has finally arrived, igniting plenty of new mysteries for audiences to theorize about.

The dystopian thriller is based on Josh Malerman's novel of the same name and stars Sandra Bullock as Malorie, a pregnant woman trapped in a sprawling California home with a handful of other survivors in the midst of a postapocalyptic event that's wiped out most of the rest of the earth's population. A mysterious, invisible entity descends upon the world one day, causing people to commit suicide in grisly fashion once seen. Over the course of the hour and change that Malorie fights for her life, as well as the lives of her two young children, we hear the monster and see the effects of the monster's destruction and all the ways survivors are forced to cope with their horrifying new reality. But the monster, whatever it is, remains invisible to the naked eye.

About halfway through the film, a new threat emerges: homicidal people who are driven crazy by the evil entity are somehow able to avoid its suicidal urges and, in turn, dedicate their lives to forcing other unaffected survivors to "look." Malorie realizes her only option is to make a perilous three-day journey down a treacherous river to a rumored safe haven. Of course, to do so, she and her two nameless kids have to stay blindfolded the entire time. Not exactly a chill tubing trip, you know?

Fortunately, Malorie is able to complete the journey with both children intact, ending up at a former school for the blind where many people have taken refuge from the invisible monster lurking outside. The story wraps up with Malorie finally accepting her maternal instincts, bestowing names upon the boy and girl - Olympia and Tom - and presumably living happily ever after. But does the happy ending open the door for a sequel?

Since Bird Box has only just come out, Netflix has remained mum on the topic of a sequel, at least so far. The book upon which the film is based also doesn't have a sequel - Malerman instead followed up Bird Box with an unrelated novel, Black Mad Wheel, about a malevolent sound plaguing the human race. In case you want a sequel to Bird Box as much as we do, we went ahead and dreamed up three ways the story could continue, ahead.

Game of Thrones: What to Know About "Great Other" and How He May Play Into the Finale

There are no shortage of gods in Game of Thrones, but one of the most important mystical names in the series is only mentioned once in passing - way back in season four.

At this point, everyone knows about the Lord of Light - also known as R'hllor - but the antithesis of Melisandre's god is rarely ever named. We're talking about the Great Other - a god that the Red Priestess tells Shireen Baratheon represents all things dark, cold, and evil. The Great Other is an agent of death who is locked in an eternal war with the Lord of Light. If the Great Other wins, then faith in R'hllor and the love and light he represent will be extinguished.

In the A Song of Ice and Fire books, Thoros of Myr describes the battle between the Great Other and R'hllor like this:

"Man once again faces the war for the dawn, which has been waged since time began. On one side is the Lord of Light, the Heart of Fire, the God of Flame and Shadow. Against him stands the Great Other, whose name may not be spoken. The Lord of Darkness, the Soul of Ice, the God of Night and Terror.

The Great Other shouldn't be confused with the Night King. At one point, the Night King was just a mortal man. The Children of the Forest are responsible for turning him into the monster he is now. He and his army are agents of the Great Other with a goal to do the bidding of their god. Melisandre even calls the White Walkers and the wights the "cold children" of the Great Other. Since the name of this mysterious god of the dark can't be spoken, it's unclear if he's meant to have an identity in the traditional sense.

One thing that fans can be certain of is the Great Other is a representation of death. In the books, Melisandre even believes that dreams are weapons used by the Great Other to pull people into the darkness. As always, the only answer to defeating this god of the cold and night is through a belief in R'hllor and his champion, Azor Ahai. Ultimately, the Great Other is simply the opposite of Melisandre's god.

Whether or not you believe that R'hllor and the Great Other truly exist depends largely on how much you buy into the theological aspects of the series. There's no denying that the amount of magic and unexplained happenings in Westeros has been on a steady rise since season one, so the idea that the Great Other has an identity that will be revealed isn't as far-fetched as it once was.

For that reason alone, you should keep an eye on the battle between light and dark, and the mortal agents tasked with fighting it, because it may be the key to Game of Thrones's grand finale.

Camilla Parker Bowles's Parents Weren't Royal, but They Were a High-Class Family

Although it once was the norm for members of the British royal family to only marry foreign royalty or British aristocrats, that's definitely not the case anymore. "Commoners" have become increasingly popular choices - in fact, the last direct-line royal to marry an aristocrat was Prince Charles during his failed first marriage to Diana, Princess of Wales (born Lady Diana Spencer). Charles's second wife, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, descends from a high-class family with some aristocratic heritage, but her parents were definitely not royalty.

The Duchess of Cornwall was born Camilla Shand, the eldest child of Major Bruce Shand and his wife Rosalind, nee the Honorable Rosalind Cubitt. While Rosalind was a lower-tier aristocrat (her father was a baron), Bruce's family was wealthy but not titled. Bruce was born in 1917. Following an international childhood spent in England, the US, and France, he joined the military and served during World War II, even spending nearly three years as a prisoner of war. He retired with the honorary rank of major and embarked on several other interests in retirement, from writing his memoir to working with wine merchants.

Rosalind, meanwhile, had a fairly typical aristocratic childhood from her birth in 1921. Her father was the heir to her grandfather's barony (which he inherited in 1947) and she was a notable debutante, with her debutante ball in 1939 being attended by King George VI and his wife Queen Elizabeth; the press named her "debutante of the year." She met Bruce following the war, and they married in 1946. Their first child, Camilla, was born the following year. Rosalind worked for an adoption agency and volunteered for a charity to help children with disabilities.

Sadly, only one of Camilla's parents lived to see her marry the love of her life and join the royal family. Although her father was still alive in when she wed Prince Charles in 2005, her mother died in 1994 after battling osteoporosis. Bruce died in 2006 from cancer. Look back on some of the couple's history with these pictures below!

Curious About Why Aquaman's Postcredits Scene Is So Important? Here's the Deal

Warning: a tidal wave of spoilers for (and bad water-based puns about) Aquaman ahead!

Let's get this out of the way right now: yes, there's a postcredits scene in Aquaman. Well, technically it's a midcredits scene, which means, thank Poseidon, that you don't need to sit through the entirety of the credits to feast your eyes on the bonus footage. What's more is that there's just the one extra scene, so unless you truly enjoy watching the credits crawl by, you can be out the door faster than a sea creature screaming racist insults at Jason Momoa can vanish into the ocean floor (yes, a real thing that happens in this movie).

If, however, you're wondering what goes on in said midcredits scene, we've got you covered.

There are a handful of foes that Momoa's titular aqua-inclined superhero is forced to take on over the course of the film, from Patrick Wilson's King Orm to Dolph Lundgren's King Nereus. But also in the mix is Manta, played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, who is mostly memorable due to his, um, shall we say, interesting choice of suit (those giant red bug eyes aren't scaring anyone, my dude).

His vendetta against Aquaman, aka Arthur Curry, begins early on in the film when we encounter Manta and his father trying to violently overtake and ransack a Russian submarine. Their plan is foiled by Aquaman, who makes quick work of their crew, but in the ensuing confrontation, a large pipe falls on Manta's father and crushes him to the floor. As the sub fills with water, Manta begs Arthur to lift the pipe and save his dad. Aquaman is basically like, "This is the price you pay for being a pirate. Later." Manta's father drowns, but his grudge against Aquaman bubbles to the surface! (Hey, I warned you about these subpar water puns.)

So, back to the midcredits scene. If a future Aquaman sequel ever comes to be, the scene functions as a way to set things up for another potential conflict between Aquaman and Manta. You see, Aquaman defeats Manta in the third act by going head-to-head with the villain during a carnage-filled brawl through Sicily that ends with Aquaman smashing Manta's helmet and throwing him off a cliff.

That's the last we see of him until the midcredits scene picks up with Manta floating unconscious on some wood in the middle of the ocean. He's rescued by some men on a boat who don't seem all that important at first . . . until a shot of the boat's interior reveals whoever owns it is clearly interested in learning more about Aquaman's identity (newspaper clippings posted inside have that red "I'm a crazy conspiracy theorist" string hanging all over them). It doesn't take long before said conspiracy theorist is revealed to be Doctor Stephen Shin (Randall Park), who makes a pact with Manta: if Manta can lead Shin to Atlantis, the scientist will not only fix his broken helmet but also help him find out Aquaman's true identity.

If Shin does indeed team up with Manta, Aquaman might be in real trouble. After all, the doctor is a renowned scientist with genius-level intellect in the comics, so crazy conspiracies or not, he could certainly help Manta get the revenge he so desires. A sequel has yet to be confirmed, so in the meantime, we'll have to do a little theorizing of our own.

Here Are Some Pictures of Mark Wahlberg Shirtless in Barbados Because You Deserve Happiness

Everything is just beachy for Mark Wahlberg! A day after he shared his family's sweet holiday card on Instagram, the 47-year-old actor was spotted hanging out on the beach in Barbados with his wife, Rhea Durham, and their four children - Ella, 15, Michael, 12, Brendan, 10, and Grace, 8 - on Wednesday. Mark went shirtless, showing off his chiseled abs, and wore a pair of bright turtle-print swim trunks. He relished in the gorgeous views of the Caribbean island while splashing around in the water. The following day, Mark and Rhea returned to the beach and showed PDA as they hugged in the water and shared a few sweet kisses.

Mark and his family also visited Barbados at the very beginning of the year when he and Rhea showed some hot PDA by locking lips in the water. Evidently, Mark has maintained his muscular physique throughout the entire year, and it's probably because of his insane workout regimen. Although we won't be partaking in 4 a.m. weightlifting or foam rolling anytime soon (or ever), we can appreciate the fruit of Mark's labor with these photos.

If You Loved Watching Daria as an Angsty Teen, You Should Watch It as a Jaded Adult

Image Source: MTV / Everett Collection

Of all the TV shows getting rebooted this year, Daria might be the one I'm most excited about. I was obsessed with the show growing up - I was just 12 when it premiered - and it reminds me of a time before Teen Mom and Teen Wolf, when you could watch shows like The Real World and Singled Out between a string of actual music videos. I could close my bedroom door, settle into my beanbag chair, and spend my evening chuckling at sarcastic, biting one-liners while I probably should have been doing my homework.

So, there was Daria. The show was a spinoff of MTV's other massive hit cartoon Beavis and Butt-Head, in which she appeared as a running character. It followed Daria Morgendorffer and her family's move to Lawndale, where the 16-year-old would begin her sophomore year in high school. In a 1999 New York Times article, Daria was described as "a blend of Dorothy Parker, Fran Lebowitz, and Janeane Garofalo, wearing Carrie Donovan's glasses." She's the opposite of her little sister, Quinn, who also happens to be her nemesis; she's not cute, perky, or popular and she doesn't care about being any of the three. Daria's coolness comes from having no interest in being cool.

Image Source: MTV

Daria's sardonic and cynical personality appears to make her difficult to get along with, but she quickly makes a best friend in the equally acerbic Jane Lane. Their shared negative outlook and constant criticism of the (idiotic) people around them made me really happy; like, no matter how pessimistic I am, I'll still have at least one friend, right? Daria was important for me as a teenager because it showed me that there's more than one way to get through high school. You don't have to be the pretty, perfect cheerleader or the jock or even the class clown. You can essentially fly under the radar a little, say what's actually on your mind, read The Bell Jar at lunch, and reject the idea of pretending to be happy just to please others. At a time when my self-doubt was running as high as my hormones, Daria grounded me a little. It also introduced me to awesome alt-rock and my first cartoon crush, Trent Lane (swoon).

We're all a little like Daria Morgendorffer, even if it's deep down. A couple of years ago, I came across an old story about the show and decided to rewatch it as the sarcastic, cynical, pessimistic adult I am now. If you're like me and would like to go over 20 years back in time and enjoy a strong female lead who did her own thing, and whose flaws and insecurities mirrored your own long before Liz Lemon's, here's where and how you can enjoy Daria right now.

Hulu: Hulu recently signed a deal with Viacom to obtain access to its full library, which includes every season of Daria.
Amazon Prime: Buy all five seasons of Daria, as well as the Is It Fall Yet? movie special with a Prime Video membership.
MTV.com: All five seasons of the show are available to watch for free on MTV.com when you log in with your cable provider info.
iTunes: You can purchase episodes or full seasons via the iTunes store.
YouTube: Each episode from all five seasons is available for $2 or with a season pass on YouTube.

13 Shows That Were Criminally Underrated This Year

Have you ever gotten into a discussion with friends where you're talking about a new show you're addicted to, and the look of utter confusion on their faces finally clues you in to the fact they have no idea what you're talking about? If so, we can commiserate.

While the best shows of 2018 have rightfully gotten people's love and attention and the scores of awards that they deserve, there's so much in the world of TV that gets lost in the shuffle. We know it's nice when you don't have to go digging through the darkest parts of Reddit in order to find someone else who likes that specific black comedy you randomly found while channel surfing, but sometimes the best kind of show is one that you get to introduce other people to and then watch as they fall in love with as hard as you did.

In honor of those diamonds in the rough, the vastly underestimated, and the unsung heroes of the random late-night binge-watch, here are the shows that everyone should already be watching but somehow aren't.

Ready to Cringe? These Are 2018's Worst Movies

Among all of Hollywood's award season hopefuls, truly groundbreaking horror films, and underrated dramas that hit theaters in 2018, there were bound to be a few duds here and there. While we might personally love a few of them (#noshame), that doesn't stop Rotten Tomatoes from doing its thing and revealing which flicks failed to crack 30 percent on the site's review aggregator, dubbed the Tomatometer. Take a look at the movies that have been crowned 2018's "worst" ahead, ranked from least-bad to plain ol' unforgivable.

The Cute Thing Kate Middleton Does When Prince William Isn't Looking

Prince William and Kate Middleton are living a real-life fairy tale, and it's not just because they're part of the royal family. After meeting at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, where they were living at the same residence hall, the two fell head over heels for each other. Even though they took a brief break from 2007 to 2010, they eventually got their happily ever after (or at least their happy beginning) when they tied the knot in one of the biggest and most newsworthy weddings of our generation in April 2011. Seven years and three children later, the pair still have that look of love whenever they're together. While they have had a number of sweet appearances over the course of their relationship, we can't help but notice the way Kate smiles at Will when he isn't looking. See the duchess's most royally in love moments ahead.

Deepika Padukone & Ranveer Singh Give Us #CoupleGoals In Their All-Black Looks

It’s a norm now for #DeepVeer to turn up in somewhat matching outfits, especially after their wedding. To be specific, it’s mostly during their airport appearances that we get to evidently see this. It has now become a unique aspect of their coupling and we love it. Who won’t like to coordinate with their SO, right? And Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh know exactly how to ace the twin and win moment!

They colour coordinated again last night when they were spotted at the airport, on the way to their honeymoon. The theme for the night was all-black and the way their looks were styled, they could be easily part of the next Men In Black movie! Deepika wore a turtle-neck sweater teamed with a fluid straight-cut skirt. Her accessories too went along with the hue as she chose to go for cat-eye sunglasses, boots and Burberry‘s large leather belt bag to complete the look. Ranveer too sported an uber-chic style with knitted crewneck t-shirt and pants combo that was layered with a textured bomber jacket. Matching up the accessories, Ranveer too had on statement sunglasses, boots and a Louis Vuitton Christopher backpack.

The colour coordinated looks have become this couple’s signature style, and these dashing all-black looks are just the start. We can’t wait to see more such #StyleGoals from #DeepVeer!

10 Movies That Didn’t Live Up To Our Expectations In 2018

2018 gave us some really great Bollywood movies and it was a delight to be at the movies. But there were some that we expected a lot out of and didn’t perform and live up to our expectations as much. 2018 started off with the promise of some epic and never-before-seen actor combinations but turns out not all that glitters is gold. So, in case you had missed out on some of these movies and are feeling a little bad, worry not because these are movies that anyone could have let slide, even the actors who took up the movies.

So, here are 10 movies that left us disappointed in 2018:

Fanney Khan

This film is living proof that even phenomenal actors like Rajkummar Rao, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and Anil Kapoor can’t make up for a lousy script.

Namaste England

This movie should go back to the 80s. How this movie was even made in 2018 is beyond me. Parineeti, C’mon, you can do better than this, for sure!

Thugs Of Hindostan

This one was a huge let down for us and the actors in it. Who would’ve thought a film with legends like Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan would tank. Not us. No amount of star power could’ve saved this Hindi version of Pirates Of The Carribean.

Race 3

3rd time’s the charm. NOT. Not for this movie franchise that became the butt of every internet joke. Let’s stop at 3 for this, shall we?

Batti Gul Meter Chalu

There was a lot of expectation from this movie, what with the subject matter a topic that needed to be brought to the forefront. Unfortunately, the main theme of the movie kind of got lost in the subplots of the movie.

Satyameva Jayate

Cop and robber chase movies are always fun. Unfortunately, not this one. If you are watching this movie, here are 2 points that might be a saving grace: Manoj Bajpayee and Nora Fatehi’s Dilbar Dilbar. True story.

Loveyatri

Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se

We absolutely love watching this trio on screen. But, the movie is another matter altogether. ‘Nuff said.

Aiyaary

The trailer of this movie looked super interesting and it does have Manoj Bajpayee. But, after all the hurdles it faced before the movie hit the theatres, it didn’t manage to win over the critics or the audience.

Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi

The first installment of this movie was a revelation and one super fun Punjabi ride. The second one is another mindless entertainer, sure. But nothing that you’d want to spend 2 hours for, TBH.

This was our list of movies that didn’t perform so well. Did we miss out any? Tell us in the comments below!

Exclusive: The Reason Why Harshvardhan Kapoor Doesn’t Celebrate His Birthday Revealed On Koffee With Karan

Harshvardhan Kapoor, Rhea Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor Ahuja

This Koffee season has seen an array of debutants on the show. Rhea Kapoor and Harshvardhan Kapoor will be introduced to the Koffee couch along with one of the show’s favourite guests, Sonam Kapoor! The trio is surely going to be an entertaining lot and do what siblings do best – revealing each other’s secrets. One such revelation is going to be the reason why the youngest of the three Kapoors doesn’t celebrate his birthday.

Harsh likes to keep a low profile and doesn’t have many friends in the film fraternity. All his close friends are from his school with the exception of Anmol Malik, who is now working in the industry. Explaining why, he says, “It’s great to have the same friends for so long!”

Even Anil Kapoor confesses he fails to understand his son as he would never want to celebrate his birthday even when he was a kid. According to Anil, he is the most mature, sensible and intelligent among all three children. Talking about this, the Mirzya actor explains that for him, a birthday is like any other day.

It also came to the limelight that he is a mama’s boy, his mother is very protective of him with him being the youngest of the lot! “Since childhood when he was a lefty and his teacher wants to make him a righty, our mother has gone into a mess, even the press was writing all about this” – Rhea said on the show. Sonam chimed in saying, “He is an introvert and very shy.”

This is certainly going to be one entertaining episode and I can’t wait to watch it!

Discover the unseen side of the Kapoor siblings on Koffee with Karan Season 6, this Sunday at 9 pm on Star World!

8 Highly Anticipated Hollywood Movies You Gotta Watch In 2019

2018 was a year that gave us films like Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, A Star Is Born, Incredibles 2 and more that completely blew us away. And by the looks of it, the coming year isn’t going to disappoint either. From Toy Story 4 to Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, 2019 has a film for every movie lover out there. Here is a list of some of the most exciting movies that we can’t wait to watch.

1. Avengers: Endgame

The last Avengers movie had us all shook and quite frankly, super sad too as Thanos wiped out half of all the population on Earth. Hopefully, this movie will make up for the previous one, fingers crossed!

Release date: 26 April 2019.

2. The Lion King

This one has people of all ages extremely excited for its release. The original Lion King movie was one of the highest grossing animated films of all time, and we’re sure this one won’t be disappointing either. The only sad part is that we all will have to relive watching Mufasa die, only this time it will be in HD.

Release date: 19 July 2019.

3. It: Chapter Two

For all the horror movie lovers out there, It: Chapter Two is coming. Pennywise is back to terrorise the small town of Derry, exactly 27 years after the events that took place in the first movie. We can’t wait to see the adult versions of all the kids in The Losers Club too!

Release date: 6 September 2019.

4. Frozen 2

The first Frozen movie was such an adorable film and although no story details have been revealed about the sequel as of yet, we can’t wait to see what adventures Elsa, Anna, and Olaf take on this time.

Release date: 22 November 2019.

5. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood

From Leonardo DiCaprio to Margot Robbie, this film casts some exceptionally talented actors. The mystery-crime film already sounds like a blockbuster and waiting for it to release sounds like a real task TBH.

Release date: 26 July 2019.

6. Toy Story 4

Toy Story was definitely a crowd favourite and our inner-child can’t wait to see Buzz and Woody again. Toy Story 4 introduces a new toy Forky, who joins Woody and his friends on a road trip. Sounds fun, doesn’t it?

Release date: 20 June 2019.

7. Aladdin

Disney clearly has their plate full in 2019, but the more the merrier, right? Aladdin has been a long-awaited film and has had its fair share of controversies. However, it is all set to be released in the summer of 2019 and by the looks of the trailer, this one is going to be a movie we can’t miss out on.

Release date: 24 May 2019.

8. Star Wars: Episode IX

Star Wars has been a huge hit at the cinemas with a gigantic fan base. This is the 9th and final installment of the Star Wars film franchise and hence is a huge deal. The film was initially meant to be released in May but has now been delayed and is going to release at the end of 2019.

Release date: 19 December 2019.

After checking out what amazing movies 2019 has in store for us, the new year honestly can’t come soon enough! Which movie from the list is one you can’t wait to watch in 2019? Let us know in the comments below.
