The movie and television industry may be shut down, but that doesn’t mean its employees have been idle. Crisis, as they say, is the mother of invention, and quarantining has inspired plenty of resourceful, delightful — and non-delightful — content. One of the better ones came in early May, when beloved stunt person Zoë Bell tapped an all-star cast (among them Scarlett Johansson, Florence Pugh, and Cameron Diaz) to do a clever, exciting, hilarious all-woman fight. Now another group has gotten in on the action: the stop-motion wizards at Laika.

In an attempt to stay busy/sane, the quaranting staff of the beloved animation company — of Coraline, The Boxtrolls, and last year’s Oscar-nominated Missing Link — created their own version, with, of course, almost nothing but stop-motion. The premise is the same: One person/thing punches or kicks or in some fashion wallops into the screen, then we cut to someone/something else that feels the blow. They then return the favor to another person/thing, and so on and so forth.

There aren’t any famous faces — beyond, of course, a cameo by one of the Boxtrolls — but who needs celebrities when you’ve got an angry ice cube wielding a cocktail umbrella, sentient sneakers or any angry lemon? It’s only a minute — stop-motion animation is hard and time-consuming! — but perhaps it will inspire you to spend part of your quarantine time watching one of the Laikas. After all, you’re not going to one of the nation’s crowded and virus-ridden beaches any time soon. Right?

You can watch the royal rumble in the video above.

Like many celebrities, Sharon Stone has been active on social media during quarantine, and she decided to spend her Sunday channeling a hip-hop legend — or so some thought. In a new picture shared on her Twitter page, the actress is shown poolside with her dog and a couple of friends. But it’s what was on her head that caught the attention of social media.

In the image, Stone rocks a silver gladiator helmet — an unusual choice for staying safe while quarantining in the sun. A number of people online thought it looked familiar. Specifically they thought it looked an awful lot like the headgear perennially worn by legendary rapper MF Doom, aka Daniel Dumile — a mask that channels his semi-namesake, Fantastic Four villain Doctor Doom, and which Dumile has long worn in public to obscure his face.

Some even jokingly wondered if the Basic Instinct star was in fact MF Doom himself all along. Brooklyn-based record label Ghostly cracked that he was booking Stone/MF Doom for his nephew’s pool party, while another said Stone being a fan of the onetime KMD member is further evidence that 2020 has been incredibly surreal. Fantastic Four and Capone director Josh Trank even chimed in with a comment, saying, “2020: Sharon Stone dons MF DOOM mask.”

Tom Brady and Peyton Manning lived every amateur golfer’s nightmare/dream on Sunday afternoon when they played golf on national television with Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods in The Match II on TNT.

For Manning, while he had some loose shots, he actually won two holes for his team on the front nine while playing with Tiger as he got off to a pretty strong start. Brady, on the other hand, had a disastrous first six holes, spraying the ball all over the course, having to take multiple drops, and chunking and skulling chips from just off the green.

It was all pretty terrible until the fourth shot of the seventh hole, where Brady stepped up to the ball after being trash talked about his golf game by Charles Barkley of all people, and jarred an iron shot from the fairway for birdie to the delight of everyone.

That it came after all of those terrible shots on the first six and a half holes only made this better, as everyone was stunned that he got that kind of action on the ball and spun it into the hole. Tiger Woods almost ruined the moment, lipping out a long eagle putt to win the hole, as Brady’s hole out could only earn a halve, but a much needed one for his team that was already down three holes in the first six.
