I do like these immersive audio video attractions.
Arte Museum is a South Korean immersive art franchise.
… self-guided exhibits spread across thousands of square feet. They use projection mapping, multi-image control, and sensor-based interaction technology …
I wandered the many rooms for about an hour.
When I visited their Las Vegas location in 2026, the current exhibit was partnering with the band BTS.
One room feature a 15-minute montage of some of the boy band hits. Visuals great. I wasn’t much impressed by the music, however.
As of September 2025, Arte Museum had received over 10 million visitors globally.
Although critical reaction was initially mixed, retrospective reviews have acclaimed “Bohemian Rhapsody” as one of the greatest songs of all time, and it is often regarded as the band’s signature song.
The story follows Peter Grant, a probationary constable in the Metropolitan Police who discovers he has the ability to speak to ghosts.
This talent leads him to become the first apprentice in 50 years under the tutelage of Detective Chief Inspector Thomas Nightingale, the last official wizard in Britain.
Together, they investigate supernatural crimes across London, blending police procedural elements with historical lore and magic
The author also wrote two Doctor Who serials in the late 1980s and spin-off novels from Doctor Who and Blake’s 7.
The book inspired an independent music video by Lyrics and Music by Ben “Doc Brown” Smith and Mikis Michaelides.
I was only briefly a big fan of Michael Jackson. Like almost everyone, I bought Thriller in 1982 — listening to the CD in my car hundred of times.
He and are about the same age, so I could relate to the radio sensation becoming a superstar.
The movie is worth seeing — but you could wait until it gets on streaming. No rush. It’s not nearly as good as Bohemian Rhapsody, by comparison.
Michael is a biographical drama about the life of Michael Jackson that was released in theatres and IMAX on April 24, 2026. The film has become a massive commercial success, setting the record for the biggest worldwide opening weekend ever for a biopic.
… the film spans Jackson’s life from his early days with the Jackson 5 in the 1960s to the peak of his solo career during the Bad tour in 1988. …
While the film has been a “megahit” with audiences, it has faced mixed to negative reviews from critics.
“Sanitized” Narrative: Critics have widely panned the film for being overly “safe” and avoiding the more controversial aspects of Jackson’s life.
Many of the family were involved in the movie. But Janet declined to be included. Michael’s daughter, Paris Jackson, has publicly criticized the film for its inaccuracies.
Jackson is portrayed by his nephew Jaafar Jackson and as a child by JulianoKrueValdi, both in their film debuts. Both fantastic.
I checked to be sure father Joe Jackson was no longer alive to see his portrayal in this film. Joe died in 2018.
Google to see all the historical inaccuracies. For example, the movie suggests Michael’s first solo project was Off the Wall (1979), completely ignoring the four solo albums he had already released with Motown in the early 1970s.
It went viral on TikTok in mid-2023 and charted internationally. It got to #1 in Australia and the U.K.
Noah Kahan nominated for Best New Artist at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards (2024).
The song title refers to a term for autumn in New England, the period after Halloween before the winter snow begins, which Kahan called “a time of transition” and “super depressing” as “it just means that winter is coming soon and it creates a lot of anxiety” and “nobody really likes it”.
Now I am stuck between my anger and the blame that I can’t face And memories are somethin’ even smoking weed does not replace And I am terrified of weather ’cause I see you when it rains Doc told me to travel, but there’s Covid on the planes
And I love Vermont, but it’s the season of the sticks And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed And it’s half my fault, but I just like to play the victim I’ll drink alcohol ’til my friends come home for Christmas
So I thought that if I piled something good on all my bad That I could cancel out the darkness I inherited from dad No, I am no longer funny, ’cause I miss the way you laugh You once called me forever, now you still can’t call me back
Olivia Rodrigo did a cover. This should bring more attention to the original.
I was dubious when hearing that Timothée Chalamet would play Dylan. BUT he was excellent.
Won the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award for Best Actor. Sang all those songs himself. Played the instruments, as well.
Supporting cast members, including Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez, Edward Norton as Pete Seeger, and Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash, also sang their respective roles. The performances were recorded live on set to capture an authentic feel.
Surprisingly, Dylan was supportive of the project. The movie is not true to the strict historical record, but rather tries to portrait his rise to fame in the folk music genre and the move to electric instruments.
Like everyone my age, I thought I knew Dylan’s story. I thought of him as a street poet with a terrible singing voice. Another Leonard Cohen.
BUT I realize now that Bob Zimmerman was a wonderkind super talent. The only musician to have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Well deserved.
