Paramount Animation & Ryan Reynolds’ Maximum Effort Making ‘I Eat Poop: A Dung Beetle Story’; Josh Cooley In Talks To Direct

Paramount Animation & Ryan Reynolds’ Maximum Effort Making ‘I Eat Poop: A Dung Beetle Story’; Josh Cooley In Talks To Direct
Paramount Animation is teaming up with Ryan Reynolds’ production company, Maximum Effort, to turn the quirky children’s book I Eat Poop: A Dung Beetle Story into an animated film. Josh Cooley, who directed Toy Story 4, is in talks to helm the project, and EGOT-winning songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (of La La Land and The Greatest Showman fame) are also on board. It’s shaping up to be a high-profile—if slightly bizarre—family flick.
Editor’s Note: On paper, this sounds like a joke—a movie about a dung beetle? But with Reynolds’ comedic chops, Cooley’s Pixar pedigree, and Pasek & Paul’s musical magic, it could be a surprisingly charming hit. It’s a reminder that Hollywood’s still willing to take weird, creative swings, especially when big names are attached. Plus, kids love gross-out humor, so this might just be a recipe for success.

Golden Globe Nominated ‘Inu-Oh’ Director Masaaki Yuasa Explores the 4th Dimension, Friendship and the Texture of Noodles in New Film ‘Daisy’s Life’
positiveEntertainment
Golden Globe-nominated director Masaaki Yuasa, known for his wildly imaginative films like Inu-Oh, is back with another visually stunning project—Daisy’s Life. This time, he’s blending themes of friendship, the fourth dimension, and even the texture of noodles into what promises to be his most ambitious film yet. Produced by his new studio and a French animation house, the story follows two young friends on what’s sure to be a surreal, emotionally rich journey.
Editor’s Note: Yuasa has a cult following for his boundary-pushing animation and storytelling, so any new project from him is a big deal for anime and film fans. The fact that he’s teaming up with international studios also hints at a fresh creative direction—one that could push animated filmmaking into even weirder, more wonderful territory. If you love visually inventive stories with heart, this is one to watch.
Shifty review – Adam Curtis’s new show is an utter rarity: stylish, intelligent TV with something to say
positiveEntertainment
Adam Curtis is back with another thought-provoking documentary series, Shifty, and critics are raving about it. This five-part dive into the decline of British democracy is packed with Curtis’s signature style—sharp wit, mesmerizing archive footage, and a knack for making bleak topics weirdly exhilarating. It kicks off with Margaret Thatcher, because of course it does, and unfolds like a visually stunning history lesson you can’t look away from.
Editor’s Note: Curtis has a cult following for a reason—his documentaries don’t just inform, they grip you with their bold storytelling and eerie relevance. In an era of shallow content, Shifty stands out as TV that actually challenges viewers. If you’re into smart, stylish critiques of power and society, this is your next binge.
Wild rodents, fascist warnings and a haunted carpet: Wolfman Tillmans storms the Pompidou
neutralEntertainment
The Pompidou Centre in Paris is about to shut down for a major five-year renovation, but not before artist Wolfgang Tillmans takes over its entire 6,000-square-meter public library with a wild, unsettling exhibition. Think eerie rodent imagery, cryptic political warnings, and even a "haunted" carpet—it's a visually striking yet deeply unnerving experience that lingers with you.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another gallery show—it’s a bold, chaotic farewell from one of Europe’s most iconic cultural spaces. Tillmans’ work often blends beauty with discomfort, and here, it feels like a fittingly provocative send-off before the Pompidou goes dark for half a decade. For art lovers, it’s a must-see; for everyone else, it’s a reminder of how powerful (and sometimes disturbing) art can be when given free rein.
Shabana talks about Javed: ‘We Fight, We Shout,...’
positiveEntertainment
Shabana Azmi gets refreshingly real about her marriage to Javed Akhtar, admitting they fight and shout like any couple—but with a clever twist. Instead of letting arguments spiral, they’ve mastered the art of dropping heated topics before things turn toxic. Her advice? A simple "let it go" approach saves relationships from unnecessary damage. Bonus tidbit: She’s fresh off an OTT series, but the real headline here is her candid take on love’s messy, everyday battles.
Editor’s Note: Famous couples often seem picture-perfect, so Shabana’s honesty about marital spats is weirdly comforting. It’s not about avoiding conflict but handling it without wrecking the relationship—something even non-celeb couples can steal for their own playbooks. Plus, it’s rare to hear Bollywood legends dish on real-life love hacks.
‘I’ve swallowed something’: Sunjay’s last words
negativeEntertainment
Sunjay Kapur, the ex-husband of Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor, tragically passed away during a polo match in England. Reports indicate he collapsed suddenly, with initial speculation pointing to a heart attack—possibly caused by a bee sting. The Guards Polo Club confirmed his death, though legal procedures are holding up the funeral arrangements. Sunjay, remembered as a warm and friendly figure, leaves behind his wife, Priya Sachdev, and three children.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another celebrity death—it’s a sudden, shocking loss that’s left many reeling. Sunjay Kapur wasn’t just a businessman; he was part of a high-profile family and a well-liked personality in elite circles. The unusual circumstances (a possible bee sting triggering a fatal heart attack) add a layer of grim unpredictability. For fans and those who knew him, it’s a stark reminder of how fragile life can be, even for the seemingly invincible. Plus, the delayed funeral due to legalities adds another painful twist for his grieving family.
