When Avatar: The Way of Water finally splashes into theaters, the heavily-anticipated sequel will be packing a serious long runtime. Clocking in at a whopping three hours and 10 minutes, The Way of Water is nearly as long as Titanic. It misses the cut by a scant four minutes. Granted, the first Avatar was considered a lengthy film at two hours and 41 minutes, but that’s almost par for the course in today’s modern age of mammoth superhero films.

In a new interview, writer/director James Cameron justified ballooning the runtime for the sequel that’s been 13 years in the making. “We didn’t spend as much time on relationship and emotion in the first film as we do in the second film, and it’s a longer film, because there’s more characters to service,” Cameron told Total Film. “There’s more story to service.”

The iconic director then made a comparison that only James Cameron would dare to make:

Above all, however, The Way Of Water is a family story. This is because, 14 years after falling in love, Jake and Neytiri are now the proud parents of five children. “People say, ‘Oh my God, a family story from Disney? Just what we want…’ This isn’t that kind of family story,” Cameron clarifies. “This is a family story like how The Sopranos is a family story.”

While Cameron seems full of his usual bombast by comparing The Way of Water to one of the greatest TV shows of all time, the writer/director has been noticeably hedging his bets about the sequel’s box office potential. He recently revealed that he’s prepared to pull the plug and end the series with Avatar 3 if The Way of Water underperforms.

While citing that we’re in a “different world” thanks to streaming and the pandemic, Cameron is not immune to having doubts about audiences flocking to a new Avatar movie after so long.

“Maybe we’ll remind people what going to the theatre is all about. This film definitely does that,” Cameron mused to Total Film. “The question is: how many people give a sh*t now?”

Eminem was recently inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame as part of the 2022 class. “I know that I’m a rapper, and this is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and there’s only a few of us right now who have been inducted in already,” he said during his speech as he paid tribute to those who paved the way in rap and hip-hop.

This list of rappers that are currently in the Hall Of Fame includes Jay-Z, Run-DMC, Biggie Smalls, LL Cool J, Beastie Boys, N.W.A., Tupac, Public Enemy, and Grandmaster Flash And The Furious Five. During Eminem’s acceptance, he rattled off a giant list of his biggest influences — some of which were prior rappers in the Rock Hall Of Fame.

He also took the time to recognize some other notable artists who deserve a future spot, from Wu-Tang Clan, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Queen Latifah, Outkast, and at least a hundred in total.

“Those were my rock stars, man,” Eminem said after finishing his list. “And I just want to say those are just a few of the names that I hope will be considered in the future for induction. Because without them, a lot of us wouldn’t be here. I know I wouldn’t.”

“So, that’s all I have to say, man. I know this induction is supposed to be me talking about myself and sh*t, man, but f*ck that,” he continued. “I would not be here without them. I’m a high school dropout, man, with a hip-hop education, and these were my teachers. And it’s their night, just as much as it is mine. So thank you.”

Although much of the attention surrounding 21 Savage and Drake’s new joint album Her Loss has focused on Drake’s controversies, there is a growing contingent of fans online who have expressed concerns over 21’s half of the album. Savage is known for his violent lyrics, which some fans have criticized in light of the recent shooting death of Migos member Takeoff. 21 Savage addressed these concerns in a recent interview with DJ Akademiks, explaining why the duo chose not to delay their project out of respect for their fallen peer.

“It was just so much going on, so much negative, sad energy,” he said. “We was just like, ‘Maybe this will give motherf*ckers a smile or a lift-up, give the world a lift-up, something to look forward to. Cause at first we was saying we was gonna push it back, but it was like, ‘Well, sh*t. What’s that gonna do? Just keep motherf*ckers in this mind-state for a little longer?’ Versus trying to move forward.”

Savage also explained why Takeoff’s death was “the worst one” for him. “I don’t know if it’s ’cause I know him more than I know them, but this is one of them ones where it’s like, ‘Damn! Him?!’”

It’s a strange time over in England, though Americans have their fair share of weirdness happening here, too. While King Charles III was visiting York on some royal business, a spectator decided to share his disapproval of the king…by throwing eggs at him.

Now, these weren’t some soft-boiled eggs or your grandma’s famous deviled eggs, these were hard, raw eggs that shattered on the ground next to Charles’ (probably very expensive) shoes. The culprit threw three eggs which all missed the royals, though some reports suggest he threw up to five (!) eggs at the new king, who didn’t seem at all fazed. He probably would have been more affected if the man threw some holy water and garlic bread instead.

The King also didn’t seem to notice when the civilian shouted “this country was built on the blood of slaves” and “not my king” at him and his wife Camilla.

The man was swiftly taken into police custody while King Charles was served an egg sandwich later on, by pure coincidence of course. It’s also a coincidence that the fifth season of Netflix’s hit royal drama The Crown premieres on the streamer today, so perhaps this is how fans are trying to celebrate.

Season five of The Crown will follow the family in the early ’90s, focusing on Princess Diana’s strained relationship with the royals and King Charles being a giant jerk. Maybe the egg thing is a good distraction!

It takes a big person to admit defeat — or sometimes it just takes Lindsey Graham. Late Tuesday night, as Mediaite reports, a visibly deflated Graham spoke with NBC News in the midst of Election Night and was forced to acknowledge that the possible “Red Wave” we’ve been hearing about for months now did not happen. (But Michael Moore already knew that.)

The South Carolina senator beamed into a chat with the NBC News team, including Lester Holt and Savannah Guthrie, though he looked as if he’d rather be undergoing dental surgery. Guthrie didn’t waste any time getting right down to business and suggesting that they talk about the senatorial race in New Hampshire, where incumbent Democrat Maggie Hassan kept her seat with 54 percent of the vote, whereas Republican challenger/election denier Donald Bolduc scooped up just 44.1 percent of the votes.

“Here’s one where Republicans were feeling kinda good recently,” Guthrie said. “But you do have General Bolduc who — it was controversial, election denier, from that wing of the party. How are you reading these tea leaves?”

Graham, who seemed a little bit at a loss for any positive words, simply replied that, “If you run that far behind your governor candidate, you probably made a mistake, so… Uh, General Bolduc served this country well, but [incumbent Republican governor Chris] Sununu won big.. But definitely not a Republican wave, that’s for darn sure.”

But the reporters weren’t about to let Graham get off that easily — or ignore what Holt described as The Donald Trump Effect. “There have been a couple of conversations around this table as it’s become apparent there’s not going to be a wave here,” Holt said. “And the question of whether his appearances along the way have actually hurt Republicans. Do you give that any credence?”

“Not really,” Graham replied, seemingly desperate to not have to discuss the T word. “I think it was a referendum on Biden. You know, if we take back the House and we get the Senate majority, that’s a very good night. A wave would have been like New Hampshire and Colorado. So, you know, hats off to the Democrats. They performed well in a lot of these swing districts… But at the end of the day guys, if we take the House and the Senate, we’re going to have to sit down as a country and figure out what to do with it.”

Graham also had a piece of “unsolicited advice” for Joe Biden:

If we do take the House and we do take the Senate, let’s all go to the border and see if we can find a way to fix it. I’ve got a bill with Elizabeth Warren, believe it or not, to regulate social media and maybe we could do something in the energy and the energy space. So if it’s a divided government, maybe something good can come of it.

Yes, because that has worked out so well in the past.

Innovation is awesome, right? I mean, it gave us the internet!

However, there is always a price to pay for modernization, and in this case, it’s in the form of digital eye strain, a group of vision problems that can pop up after as little as two hours of looking at a screen. Some of the symptoms are tired and/or dry eyes, headaches, blurred vision, and neck and shoulder pain¹. Ouch!

---

Eye strain from staring at devices is a widespread issue. Most people work, play, and maintain relationships through screens, which averages out to 6 hours and 35 minutes per day (and that’s in addition to work or school)! That translates to 46 hours and 5 minutes per week, or 2,402 hours and 55 minutes per year.²

With numbers like these, attention to eye health is more important now than ever; our dependence on technology certainly isn’t going anywhere. And just like innovation brought us technology, innovation also holds the key to combating the effects it has on our bodies. Here are some key suggestions from eye care professionals to help reduce common symptoms of digital eye strain. Spoiler alert: none of them involve wearing glasses!

Follow the 20-20-20 rule.

You can find some relief by taking a 20-20-20 break: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. It’s easy to remember because we all want 20/20 vision, and it’s a good excuse to look out the window.

Adjust your workspace screen to be slightly below eye level and about an arm’s length away.

This simple tweak to your work area can really improve your posture, as well as the amount of strain on your eyes. A win-win!

Adjust the brightness of your device.

Brightness levels also play into how hard our eyes have to work. Our screen brightness should match our surroundings, especially during the evening hours.

Say hello to Biofinity Energys^® contact lenses!

These contact lenses are specifically made to address eye dryness and tiredness caused by digital devices. Digital Zone Optics^® lens design and Aquaform^® Technology are two innovations that when combined help with the tiredness and dryness that can be caused by digital eye fatigue.

Additionally, Biofinity Energys^® monthly replacement contact lenses are designed to help our eyes better adapt for a more comfortable wearing experience³. This part is tricky because contacts can be hard to adjust to, and trust me—no one wants what feels like gritty sandpaper in there. Comfort is key!

Ted Cruz has been a busy man lately. For some odd reason, he invested time riding in the recent Houston Astros championship parade (and had a beer chucked at him in the process). He also recently stopped by The View, where protesters trashed him as a “piece of sh*t,” and Ted’s also been ceaselessly touring for months to support a so-called “red wave” that did not happen on Midterm Election Day.

It’s not looking pretty for the GOP. Yes, J.D. Vance won in Ohio, and there were plenty of scattered GOP victories across the U.S., but John Fetterman bested Dr. Oz, and Lauren Boebert may very well have lost her election bid to a relatively unknown candidate, Adam Frisch. Meanwhile, Ted went live with a special Election Night podcast extravaganza, during which he admitted that maybe he wasted time on that super-mega bus tour. “Now that hurts,” he remarked about stiffing his family.

As Cruz tells it, Heidi had absolutely enough after he didn’t come “home for a long time.” And no wonder: even though he planned to take his daughter to a World Series game, “I missed my daughter Catherine’s 12th birthday.” Why did he do so? “Because I was out doing a rally to save this country.” It’s not great, and Ted conceded that “I have been doing politics now for a decade,” but he’s never seen Heidi so mad at him after he chose to be political in Florida rather than celebrate his daughter’s birth.

It’s saying quite a lot that Heidi put up with Ted elbowing her in the face during a rally and how he refused to defend her to Trump, who had taken potshots at Heidi’s looks. Yet it appears that Ted went several steps too far with his devotion to the bus tour, and she let him know as much. Sad!

About 13 percent of the 2022-23 season is over for the Miami Heat. That isn’t a gigantic number, but the Heat are just 4-7 in the first 11 games, prompting some to wonder whether it is time to worry about Miami’s long-term prospects. Erik Spoelstra’s team finished as the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference last season before making a run to the Eastern Conference Finals, but Miami lost a key piece in PJ Tucker — without really replacing him — and 2022-23 expectations were muted to some extent.

Still, the start of the campaign has been underwhelming, with Miami losing to Sacramento and Indiana in recent days before a Monday night loss at home to Portland. The Heat are still playing solid defense, ranking above the league average in overall efficiency, but Miami isn’t dominating on defense and its offense is scuffling. The Heat rank No. 20 or worse in offensive efficiency, effective field goal percentage, two-point percentage, three-point percentage, offensive rebound rate, and myriad additional categories.

For a team with a long track record of shooting success, Miami’s 34.4 percent three-point clip isn’t terrifying by any means, but the Heat are getting very little from Duncan Robinson and Gabe Vincent to go along with modest contributions from Kyle Lowry. Jimmy Butler has missed two games, which might explain some of the downturn, but Miami is just 3-6 with Butler in the lineup. He is also shooting less than 48 percent from inside the three-point arc, and the experiment with either Butler or Caleb Martin as the de facto power forward isn’t exactly flying in the early going.

Long story short, the Heat have earned the benefit of the doubt, at least with regard to overall competence. Miami doesn’t project to necessarily repeat its 53-win effort — and the roster is worse than it was a year ago — but the combination of Spoelstra, Butler, Bam Adebayo and shooting should bring enough to be comfortable. The Heat might want to start figuring it out soon, though, before the sample is too large to avoid.

Where does Miami rank in this week’s DIME power rankings? Let’s take a glance.

1. Milwaukee Bucks (9-1, Last week — 1st)

The Bucks lost by 19 points on Tuesday and still have the best profile in the NBA. Milwaukee is the only team with fewer than two losses, and Hawks head coach Nate McMillan repeatedly called the Bucks “the best team in the league” even after Atlanta beat Milwaukee on Monday. The Bucks have the best defense in the NBA by almost three points per 100 possessions and a bad half against the Hawks doesn’t take them out of the top spot.

2. Cleveland Cavaliers (8-2, Last week — 3rd)

It’s not often that the top two teams on this list each lost on the previous bay, but Cleveland fell by a two-point margin on the road on Monday. There is no grand shame in that, and the Cavs have the best net rating (+10.5) in the league. They’ve done it with Darius Garland only playing four games, and it’s been a highly impressive start.

3. Boston Celtics (7-3, Last week — 4th)

Boston lands behind Cleveland in large part due to a head-to-head overtime loss this week. Overall, that isn’t anything to worry about, and Boston just won three straight. That included road wins over the Knicks and Grizzlies and, at this point, Boston actually has the best offensive rating in the league. Regression may be coming, but the Celtics remain loaded.

4. Phoenix Suns (7-3, Last week — 2nd)

Phoenix can’t seem to solve Portland. The Suns have three losses and two of them have come against the Blazers. While that may not be a prominent issue moving forward, the Suns do have a challenge with Cam Johnson and a meniscus injury. Is Jae Crowder an option? If not, the Suns have a power forward problem for a while.

5. Utah Jazz (9-3, Last week — 8th)

This is officially wild from the Jazz. If anything, Utah should be higher on this list based on only this year’s results. The Jazz are in the top three of the NBA in offensive rating. The Jazz have won five of the last six games. It’s going well. Circle a Wednesday night road game against the Hawks as another interesting test.

6. Dallas Mavericks (6-3, Last week — 13th)

Dallas is on a four-game winning streak and the last three games came against impressive competition. Luka Doncic is the early frontrunner for MVP, scoring at least 32 points in every game and averaging 36.0 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 8.3 assists per game. He is the catalyst of the league’s No. 2 offense right now, and Doncic is just absurd.

7. Denver Nuggets (7-3, Last week — 14th)

Denver got rocked by Utah on opening night and it’s been all positive since then. The Nuggets have a 116.6 offensive rating in the last nine games, and Denver has a +9.2 net rating over a 5-1 stretch to end last week. The schedule wasn’t exactly grueling this week with San Antonio (twice) and OKC, but they all count.

8. Atlanta Hawks (7-3, Last week — 16th)

The Hawks trailed the Knicks by 23 points on Wednesday, only to come back in impressive fashion behind Dejounte Murray. That led to a 3-0 week overall, and Atlanta also gave Milwaukee its first loss of the season. That win over the Bucks came without Trae Young and, while there are still defensive questions with Atlanta, Murray looks like a strong addition in the early going.

9. Portland Trail Blazers (7-3, Last week — 5th)

After some positivity on the Blazers last week in this space, Portland posted only a 2-2 week. The losses came to Memphis and Phoenix, so it wasn’t as if it was a disaster, but finding the equilibrium for the Blazers will be interesting.

10. Memphis Grizzlies (7-4, Last week — 12th)

Memphis was lights-out on defense this week. The Grizzlies did lose to the Celtics, albeit in narrow fashion, but Memphis did roll to a 3-1 record over the last seven days. That included a 102.2 defensive rating, and that is Memphis getting back to its stingy roots on that end of the floor.

11. Philadelphia 76ers (5-6, Last week — 10th)

Joel Embiid came back on Monday and looked very good with 33 points and 10 rebounds. James Harden remains sidelined, but with Embiid in the mix, Philadelphia is dangerous, particularly with Tyrese Maxey shooting approximately 82 percent from three-point range.

12. Toronto Raptors (6-5, Last week — 11th)

Toronto doesn’t have a single “bad” loss. That is half the battle, and the Raptors make life intensely difficult on every opponent, both with talent and playing style. Toronto is elite on the glass on both ends, generating more than two assists per turnover, and performing well from an efficiency standpoint. The wins will come.

13. New Orleans Pelicans (5-5, Last week — 6th)

It’s a cruel world sometimes. The Pelicans lost three games by 13 total points this week, and two of the losses happened in overtime. New Orleans did beat Golden State, explaining this ranking, and the Pelicans still have a +3.7 net rating that is encouraging.

14. Golden State Warriors (4-7, Last week — 7th)

Stephen Curry is pretty good and he reminded everyone of that with 47 points on Monday. The Warriors also lost five games in a row before that and the bench has been a catastrophe so far. We’re splitting the difference and putting Golden State in the middle.

15. L.A. Clippers (6-5, Last week — 17th)

Big-picture, Kawhi Leonard playing in only two games so far is terrifying. More encouragingly, the Clippers are 4-1 in the last five games and showing more signs. The offense is not flowing yet by any stretch, but the defense is more than frisky.

16. Minnesota Timberwolves (5-6, Last week — 15th)

The vibes are not strong in the Twin Cities. The defense has been pretty good, allowing fewer than 1.1 points per possession, but the offense is not playing well. Anthony Edwards doesn’t seem to like the approach, Rudy Gobert has been out, and Minnesota has turned the ball over on almost 16 percent of possessions. It’s a process, but it seems like patience is already wearing thin.

17. Chicago Bulls (6-6, Last week — 19th)

Chicago’s defense is carrying a lot right now. The Bulls are in the top five of the league in defensive rating right now, making up for a below-average offense to this point. Chicago is going to need more from Zach LaVine, but the Bulls are at least hanging around where they need to be.

18. New York Knicks (5-5, Last week — 18th)

In on-brand fashion, the Knicks are smack dab in the middle of the league in offense and defense. The depth is a real strength, but the starters are brutal and Tom Thibodeau hasn’t quite figured out the right balance to make it all work on a daily basis.

19. Indiana Pacers (5-5, Last week — 26th)

Indiana gets a bump this week after four wins in the last five games. The Pacers are scoring at a sky-high level with 1.17 points per possession over that sample, and Indiana beat Brooklyn, Miami, and New Orleans. It’s too early to be worried about “too many wins” but the Pacers are not bad right now.

20. Miami Heat (4-7, Last week — 24th)

Miami could use some “get right” games and, on cue, the Heat will play the Hornets twice at home this week. Nothing is assured, but that should help the bottom line.

21. Brooklyn Nets (4-7, Last week — 25th)

The Nets are at least showing some life. The Kyrie Irving absence continues and, well, who knows, but Kevin Durant looks good with 31 points per game and 50-plus percent from the field. Brooklyn is going to have all kinds of issues getting stops, but the offense should be good whether Irving is there or not.

22. Washington Wizards (5-6, Last week — 21st)

Washington basically stood pat in the rankings this week after winning on the road in Charlotte on Monday. As we’ll get to below, beating the Hornets right now isn’t anything special, but they had to hold serve. They did that. Everything else is not fantastic for a team that is dead-last in the league in turnover creation and nearly last in three-point frequency and accuracy on offense.

23. San Antonio Spurs (5-6, Last week — 9th)

A 14-spot dip is about as rough as it gets from week to week, but the Spurs “earned” it. San Antonio lost all four games this week and got absolutely obliterated. The Spurs gave up more than 1.2 points per possession and had a -19.1 net rating.

24. Sacramento Kings (3-6, Last week — 22nd)

There are some very encouraging signs for the Kings. Sacramento is 3-2 in the last five games, and both losses came in narrow fashion. The Kings nearly beat the Warriors, and Sacramento has been borderline frisky on defense. The overall profile isn’t great, but there is stuff to like.

25. Oklahoma City Thunder (4-6, Last week — 20th)

Hot and cold. The Thunder opened 0-3, then won four a row, then lost three in a row. The truth is probably closer to the ugly side for a team with the No. 28 offense, but OKC is well-coached and scrappy defensively. There are just nights when the offense is untenable.

26. Charlotte Hornets (3-8, Last week — 23rd)

Charlotte won two of the first three games by double-digits and there was some positive buzz. Reality set in, though, and the LaMelo Ball-less Hornets are in a dark place. Charlotte is on a five-game losing streak with a -14.3 net rating over that sample. It’s not terribly shocking with Ball on the shelf, but it’s still rough.

27. Los Angeles Lakers (2-8, Last week — 27th)

Listen, it’s been rough for the Lakers. They’ve lost three in a row, and the offense has been dreadful. LeBron isn’t making shots. AD isn’t dominating. They don’t have shooting. It’s a mess…. but Russell Westbrook has been better! In the last five games, he is shooting 55.6 percent from the field in a bench role, putting up his usual counting stats but actually contributing in an efficient manner. That’s something.

28. Detroit Pistons (3-8, Last week — 28th)

A third victory keeps Detroit out of the bottom two. The Pistons maintain the NBA’s worst point differential, but Detroit picked up a nice home win over OKC on Monday. Detroit got smoked by Milwaukee and Cleveland before that, but that’ll happen.

29. Houston Rockets (2-9, Last week — 30th)

The Rockets knocked off the Magic to pick up an elusive second win. Houston lost six in a row, and the Rockets are still in the bottom six of the league in offensive rating and defensive rating. It was also a good week for Jalen Green after a slow start, as he shot 52.9 percent from the field and put up 25.7 points per game over a three-game span.

30. Orlando Magic (2-9, Last week — 29th)

Orlando slips to the bottom after a home loss to Houston. On paper, that might be the easiest matchup in the league, so that’s not a great result. Still, Paolo Banchero is cooking, Franz Wagner is very good, and Orlando should eventually have some healthy guard play. This week did have a 26-point effort from Jalen Suggs, which is encouraging, but the Magic do have work to do.

Rihanna‘s fourth iteration of her Savage X Fenty fashion show has begun streaming this morning (November 9). Per usual, the show features a star-studded line-up of actors, singers, and models, including Winston Duke, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Marsai Martin, and more.

In a controversial choice, this year’s Savage X Fenty show featured Johnny Depp in a near-minute-long cameo. During his brief, albeit, polarizing appearing, Depp wore Fenty silk pajamas, paired with a set of his signature necklaces, as Outkast’s “So Fresh, So Clean” played throughout the spotlight segment.

Earlier this year, Depp’s defamation lawsuit against actress and ex-girlfriend Amber Heard, who has accused Johnny Depp of abuse, garnered much media attention. Because of this, fan response has to Rihanna’s choice to include Depp has been divided.

Some supporters of Depp have congratulated the actor on his appearance in the fashion show, with one Twitter user saying, “The trial is OVER. Johnny Depp is INNOCENT. Amber is GUILTY. Some of you didn’t watch the trial and it shows.”

Many have slammed Rihanna’s choice to feature Depp, an accused abuser, with another Twitter user saying, “rihanna going out of her way to, like, rehabilitate the image of a domestic abuser and rapist is f*cking crazy cause the hell is johnny depp, a rapidly decaying corpse, going to do at a LINGERIE SHOW? but even past all that does she even know her audience?”

You can watch Depp’s segment below.

The Savage X Fenty, Vol. 4 show is now streaming on Prime Video.

Last night, Maxwell Alejandro Frost became the youngest person (and first Gen Z member) to be elected to Congress at age 25. Frost represents Florida’s 10th district. As some fans discovered following the news of his election, he also represents stan Twitter.

Given he’s used the same Twitter account, there were posts unearthed — including him taking a selfie with Harry Styles in 2014 and meeting Ariana Grande.

“yea….you could say we’re friends now @Harry_Styles,” he wrote.

“Ariana Grande at Starbucks !!! IM SO HAPPY SHE IS SO AMAZING TALKING WITH US,” Frost shared in a separate tweet.

Other posts include him stanning Cardi B, defending Taylor Swift in what appears to be a now-deleted post, and encouraging collabs between his faves.

Frost also announced he’d be celebrating his win by going to see one of The 1975’s wild concerts — who he has also loved for quite a while. “I’VE BEEN CAMPAIGNING FOR OVER A YEAR THIS IS WILD!! I’M GONNA SEE @the1975 ON THURSDAY TO CELEBRATE!!!” he shared. Needless to say, most users were happy for the politician, whose energy matches exactly what most of us would do if we won too. Plus, who doesn’t love a concert?
