Sorry, Everyone, But It Appears ‘Avatar 3’ Does Not Have The Cool Subtitle That Is ‘The Seed Bearer’

avatar
20th century studios

In another timeline, Avatar 3 would have come out in 2015. (The Way of Water obviously would have come out before that instead of last year.) But James Cameron doesn’t rush things, so now it’s coming out a decade late, in 2025. Maybe! Perhaps they’ll still be tinkering then. In the meantime, details have slowly trickled out, though they’re of course subject to change. One rumor was that it might sport a pretty weird subtitle: The Seed Bearer. Sounds spicy! Alas, that’s too hot to be true.

Per ComicBook.com, during an event for the video game Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Jon Landau put the kibosh on that one.

“I’m qualified to tell you that that is not the title for Avatar 3,” Landau said “That’s what my Wikipedia page says? That is getting changed tonight!” (Indeed, as of this writing Landau’s filmography on Wikipedia lists the film as merely “Avatar 3.”)

Things were a bit different back in 2019. In a chat with Entertainment Tonight, Cameron confirmed a report by the BBC about four possible Avatar sequel titles: Avatar: The Way of Water, Avatar: The Seed Bearer, Avatar: The Tulkun Rider, and Avatar: The Quest for Eywa. So far one of those has wound up actually being used. (Mind you, maybe someone got the sequel titles mixed up and the threequel could still be subtitled The Tulkun Rider.)

One thing we do know about Avatar 3, whose principal photograph, at least, is already in the can, is that it will concern some not-nice Na’vi for a change, namely a clan called the “Ash People” who live in a volcano.

“I want to show the Na’vi from another angle because, so far, I have only shown their good sides,” Cameron said earlier this year, when The Way of Water was gobbling up cash money. “In the early films, there are very negative human examples and very positive Na’vi examples,” he added. “In ‘Avatar 3,’ we will do the opposite. We will also explore new worlds, while continuing the story of the main characters. I can say that the last parts will be the best. The others were an introduction, a way to set the table before serving the meal.”

Avatar isn’t due for a good while, namely on December 19, 2025, which is hopefully before the Grand Theft Auto VI.

‘Squid Game: The Challenge’ Is Looking For Contestants To Win The Biggest Prize In Reality TV History

Squid Game: The Challenge began with 456 contestants. It’s now down to three: Sam (Player 016), Mai (Player 287), and Phill (Player 451). Tonight’s winner will take home $4.56 million, and all they had to do was use condoms as chapstick and allegedly risk getting hypothermia. If that sounds intriguing, applications are open for season two of the Netflix reality series.

“Now it’s your chance to take part in Netflix’s biggest ever social experiment!” the casting application reads. “This supersized unscripted show turns the scripted world of the drama into reality. Real-life players will be immersed in the iconic Squid Game universe and will never know what’s coming next. Here they’ll compete in a series of heart-stopping games in order to become the sole survivor and walk away with a life-changing $4.56 million cash prize.” The prize will presumably be even higher in season two.

To apply, you have to fill out a form, as well as upload two recent photos and a one-minute video “telling us about yourself, why you want to be on Squid Game: The Challenge, what your game plan would be and what you would do with a huge $4.56 million cash prize if you won.” With that money, I would buy bribe Netflix to bring back Mindhunter.

You can apply here. The Squid Game: The Challenge season one finale airs tonight, December 6th, at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET on Netflix.

George R.R. Martin Revealed There’s More ‘House Of The Dragon’ Seasons En Route (And Gushes About The New One)

House of the Dragon
HBO

George R.R. Martin is supposed to be busy finishing The Winds of Winter, his long-threatened sixth Song of Ice and Fire book. Apparently he is. But he also keeps watching TV and blogging. At least what he’s watching and blogging about is House of the Dragon, HBO’s Game of Thrones spinoff. In a post published Wednesday, Martin broke some news about the retuning show, while praising its new season.

Per Variety, in the post Martin talks up a recent trip to London, where the “highlight” was a “sneak preview that [showrunner] Ryan [Condal] gave me of the first two episodes of ‘House of the Dragon,’ Season 2. (Rough cuts, of course).”

Rough cut and all, it still left Martin floating:

“Of course, I am hardly objective when talking about anything based on my own work… but I have to say, I thought both episodes were just great. (And they are not even finished yet.) Dark, mind you. Very dark. They may make you cry. (I did not cry myself, but one of my friends did.) Powerful, emotional, gut-wrenching, heart rending. Just the sort of thing I like. (What can I say? I was weaned on Shakespeare, and love the tragedies and history plays best of all.)”

Martin said he also “spent two days locked in a room” with Condal and his writing staff talking about the show’s future. Specifically he said they were already talking up two more seasons after this new one. Technically HBO hasn’t greenlit Seasons 3 and 4, but in a previous blog post, Martin argued that “it is going to take four full seasons of 10 episodes each to do justice to the Dance of the Dragons, from start to finish.”

Elsewhere in his blog post, Martin also freaked out over touring the London set of House of the Dragon:

“All I have to say about that is… ohmigod … Nothing I have ever seen can compare with the Red Keep and Dragonstone sets they have built at Leavesden Studios in London. HUGE, stunning, and so damned real that I felt as if I had gone through a time portal to medieval Westeros. I love castles and have visited dozens of actual medieval castles, keeps and towers in my time, and none of the real castles I’ve ever seen can hold a candle… or a torch… to our Red Keep.”

After Game of Thrones aired its very dicey finale, Martin was vague about his reaction, instead praising everyone who worked on it while very, very cryptically hinting at how his version will (eventually, when he’s done writing it) end.

“How will it all end? I hear people asking,” he wrote at the time. “The same ending as the show? Different? Well … yes. And no. And yes. And no. And yes. And no. And yes.”

House of the Dragon is due on HBO sometime during the summer of 2024. Winds of Winter’s release date, however, is a bit more up-in-the-air.

Taylor Swift praises ‘gem’ of a friend Beyoncé in a powerful display of female friendship

On December 6, 2023, Taylor Swift was named TIME magazine’s Person of the Year, not only for her achievements as an entertainer, but as a changemaker.

In an exclusive interview with TIME, Swift spoke on a range of topics, including overcoming challenges in her career, navigating being “raised up and down the flagpole of public opinion” and key relationships that made her who she is today—one being her friendship with Beyoncé.


For years the media has made the two chart-topping artists out to be “frenemies” at best, a well-known catalyst moment being during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards show when Ye, formerly Kanye West, interrupted a then 19-year-old Swift during her acceptance speech for Best Female Video to go on a tirade about how Beyoncé should have won.

However, both women would go on to challenge this narrative of rivalry with their support of one another, be it at other awards shows, networking events, online or making guest appearances at each other’s record-shattering concert film premieres.

And in her interview with TIME, Swift couldn’t help but gush over her fellow music icon.

“She’s the most precious gem of a person — warm and open and funny,” she told TIME. “And she’s such a great disrupter of music-industry norms. She taught every artist how to flip the table and challenge archaic business practices.”

Swift then argued that any supposed rivalry between her and Beyoncé was merely a thinly veiled marketing ploy:

“There were so many stadium tours this summer, but the only ones that were compared were me and Beyoncé. Clearly, it’s very lucrative for the media and stan culture to pit two women against each other, even when those two artists in question refuse to participate in that discussion.”

But that needs to change.

“I’ve never felt like there was a need for female artists to be in competition. There’s room for everyone to shine,” she said.

It’s such a simple statement, but a powerful one—one that epitomizes a real turning point for how female friendships are portrayed in the media. More and more (think back to Jamie Lee Curtis hyping up Michelle Yeoh for her Golden Globe win earlier this year) we are seeing female peers swap out jealousy for being supportive of one another and celebrating each other’s successes. In a world that still often divides women, this kind of solidarity feels pivotal.

Swift continues to use her massive platform as a force for good—avocating for women and girls, challenging negative stereotypes and encouraging positivity. And especially this year, her work has inspired coming together in pure joy. It was for these reasons that TIMES’ Sam Jacobs said the magazine awarded her with the honor. Here’s to that well deserved recognition continued her message for generations to come.

‘All American: Homecoming’ Season 3: Everything We Know Ahead Of The New Season (Update For December 2023)

'All American: Homecoming' 203 Simone
CW

Next spring will mark one year without a new episode of All American: Homecoming, and as far as we know, that wait could last until that one-year mark. Fans (like myself) can’t wait for season three to arrive, but the irony there is waiting is all we can do for now. In the meantime, we’ll keep you updated on everything to know for the new season

When Is Season 3 Of All American: Homecoming Coming Out?

The unfortunate news is there is not a specific premiere date for All American: Homecoming season three. The good news is there is a target date for the new season. The Hollywood Reporter previously revealed that season three is expected to arrive in April 2024, along with the sixth season of All American. The WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes put a pause on production for the new seasons, but now that both strikes have been resolved, production has resumed. All we can do now is keep our ears peeled for the official announcement.

Who Is In The All American: Homecoming Season 3 Cast?

The cast for All American: Homecoming season three will undergo some changes. For the most part, the same faces from season two will appear in the new season, but a few people will have role changes. Peyton Alex Smith and Kelly Jenrette will no longer be series regulars in season three. Smith plays Damon Sims, the star baseball pitcher at Bringston and the love interest of Simone Hicks while Jenrettre plays Hicks’ aunt and the president of Bringston University. It’s expected that Smith and Jenrette will have recurring roles in season three, but that remains to be seen. Additionally, it’s unclear what role Camille Hyde, who plays Thea Mays, will have in season three.

With that out of the way, the expected main cast includes Geffri Maya as Simone Hicks, Cory Hardrict as Coach Marcus Turner, Sylvester Powell as Jessie “J.R.” Raymond, Jr., Mitchell Edwards as Cam Watkins, Netta Walker as Keisha McCalla, Rhoyle Ivy King as Nathaniel Hardin. The recurring cast includes The recurring roles for season three are Peyton Alex Smith as Damon Sims, Kelly Jenrette as Amara Patterson, Tamberla Perry as Keena Sims (Damon’s mom), Joe Holt as Jessie (J.R.’s father and Damon’s biological father), Martin Bobb-Semple as Orlando ‘Lando’ Johnson, and Blake Brewer as Nico Logan.

What is The All American: Homecoming Season 3 Plot?

The plot for All American: Homecoming season three has yet to be revealed, so until then, we can just remind you of how season two ended. Simone has a big decision to make between Damon and Lando as both men have expressed interest in dating her. Though it seemed like Simone was more serious with Lando, it was revealed that she and Damon not only shared a kiss but slept together as well.

Then we have JR, who is ready to take the blame for KEK’s hazing allegations despite objections from brothers in the chapter as they know JR has long been against hazing. JR is only taking the blame to ensure that members like Cam do not have important scholarships taken away as the chapter would be shut down otherwise.

It’s not an All American: Homecoming season without a wild cliffhanger and we got just that in the season two finale. Marcus and Amara finally decided to go public about their relationship and moments after they did that, Marcus’ wife knocked on their apartment door for an entrance that shocked everyone in the room. Co-showrunners Nkechi Okoro Carroll and Marqui Jackson explained the decision to present Marcus as a married man during a past interview with Deadline.

“We hadn’t specifically landed on the wife of it all for Season 2, but we knew there’s a chunk of time in Marcus’s life that shaped the man he is today. You don’t become the man he is today who is the father figure to the boys, the coach figure, the pillar of strength and support and everything… you don’t become as enlightened a man as he is now, without going through some stuff. Those are the gaps that we’re starting to fill in. And one of the things that happened in those missing years was that he got married. We will explain in Season 3 how and why she technically is still his wife.”

Is There An All American: Homecoming Season 3 Trailer?

Unfortunately, a trailer for All American: Homecoming season three has yet to arrive, but when it does, we’ll be sure to let you know.

How To Watch All American: Homecoming Season 3

All American: Homecoming season three episodes will first air on the CW channel. Then, they will be available to watch on the CW website and app the day after their premiere. At the end of the season, All American: Homecoming season three will then be placed on Netflix, where the original series previously experienced great success.

When Will All American: Homecoming Season 3 Episodes Come Out?

All American: Homecoming will release new season three episodes on Mondays at 9 pm ET/PT on the CW channel. The new episodes will then be available on the CW website and app the following day at 3 am EST/12 am PST. All of this comes before the entire is uploaded on Netflix at the end of the season.

‘All American: Homecoming’ season 2 is now available to stream on Netflix.

Former Grammys CEO Mike Greene Faces A Sexual Assault Lawsuit From A Woman Who Says He Also Threatened Her

As more music moguls face recriminations regarding their alleged sexual misconduct, one more has been added to the list. Former Grammys CEO Mike Greene has been accused of sexual assault by a former Recording Academy executive in a lawsuit against both Greene and the Academy, according to Rolling Stone.

In the 55-page suit, the former Recording Academy’s Los Angeles chapter executive director, Terri McIntyre, says Greene sexually harassed and assaulted her over the two-year period she held the position (1994-1996). She also alleges that The Recording Academy was negligent in handling her complaints against him and even helped cover them up. Greene stepped down in 2002 after being accused of separate incidents sexual misconduct.

Greene was notable for establishing the Latin Recording Academy and Latin Grammys during his tenure as CEO, which lasted from the late ’80s to 2002. After he stepped down, the Academy cleared him of wrongdoing and paid him nearly $8 million in severance.

In response to Rolling Stone‘s request for a comment, a Recording Academy rep said, “In light of pending litigation, the Academy declines to comment on these allegations, which occurred nearly 30 years ago. Today’s Recording Academy has a zero tolerance policy when it comes to sexual misconduct and we will remain steadfast in that commitment.”

McIntyre claims that she was drugged and raped by Greene in 1994. She says she never reported the incident out of fear of retaliation; in spite of this, she says Greene continued to harrass her, grope her, and sexually assaulted her again at his home sometime later. More details can be read in Rolling Stone‘s report.

McIntyre’s complaint is the second suit against a former Grammys executive in the past month. In November, an anonymous accuser sued Neil Portnow — who served as Greene’s successor from 2002 to 2019 — also drugged and raped her in 2019. It’s the second accusation against Portnow since 2020.

Wife shares brilliant reason why her dad should witness her husband’s colonoscopy

Becoming a couple means you’re taking on another family, especially if you’re married or in a long-term relationship. An additional family means you’re learning people’s personalities and quirks as they learn yours. There are plenty of people that luck out and get in-laws that are the epitome of kindness, love and boundaries

Then there are those that get the in-laws that live up to every stereotype there is about in-laws. Trying to set a boundary with those in-laws feels a lot like trying to teach a goldfish to walk on a leash. But when your partner starts to wain on holding boundaries alongside you, it can make for some uncomfortable conversations.

One woman took to Reddit about her own overbearing mother-in-law and the proposition she gave her husband in an effort to reinforce his support for the boundary she set. The woman is pregnant with presumably her first child and her mother-in-law is insisting that she attend the the actual birth.


We’re not talking about her being at the hospital in the waiting room with a bubble gum cigar and a cute stuffed animal. Her husband’s mom wants to be in the delivery room when her new grandchild makes their way into the world. In other circumstances this may not be a big deal. There are plenty of women close with their mother-in-laws who would welcome the extra love in the room to welcome the new baby. But this mom-to-be describes her husband’s mom as pushy, judgmental and overbearing, pointing out that she wasn’t allowed in the delivery room when her own daughters gave birth for the same reasons.

According to the post, her husband was very supportive and has a history of standing up for her with his parents but has started to cave on this particular issue.

The frustrated wife reveals, “She has started crying to him that all she wants is to see a grandchild being born. All her friends have experienced it and she wants it. He is starting to crumble under her emotional blackmail.”

“So I made it clear that the only way I would agree was if, before the birth, my husband made arrangements for my father to witness him getting a colonoscopy,” she continues.

Of course her husband was not interested in having an audience during his colonoscopy. But after explaining that her dad never got to see her brothers get pictures of the inside of their colons and felt left out, he admits that he understands her point.

“His mother is upset that I used such a stupid comparison. She says that it isn’t the same thing at all. I offered to change it to me watching her get a Brazilian wax and she hasn’t called in a week,” the wife writes.

Commenters were especially supportive of this new mom’s boundaries being upheld. One person shares, “Boundaries during childbirth are especially important. I watched my niece give birth to her first born, it was awesome. This second go round she only wanted her mama in there.” They continue, “moms in labor have to be as comfortable and stress-free as possible while delivering, and that includes who is in the room and who isn’t.”

“Giving birth is not a spectator sport. No means no,” another person writes.

“Your comparison was perfect and and your feelings are reasonable. And frankly your husband doesn’t really get a say. This is your medical procedure and you can simply tell your medical team she is not welcome,” someone says.

Another person followed up adding, “The husband has so little say in this matter that the hospital won’t even let him in if Op doesn’t want him to be there.”

The overwhelming consensus is that boundaries being upheld during birth are extremely important and the woman just might be a genius with her requests. That’s certainly one way to let people know you’re serious about who is and isn’t allowed in the delivery room. It’s such a delicate and sometimes traumatic time, the focus should be on the needs of the person giving birth, not the in-laws. Here’s hoping for a healthy baby and smooth delivery.
