Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:37:15 GMT

Netflix has a slew of major action projects set to premiere this summer and one of them is "Extraction 2," starring Chris Hemsworth. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was recently named the streamer's new Chief Action Officer, has some tips for the "Thor" actor. In Netflix's latest promotional video, the two actors catch up in the company's elevator. Schwarzenegger, famous for his one-liners in action films, revealed he has some ideas up his sleeve for Hemsworth. "Like, you could hit the guy with a giant clock and you say 'Your time is up," the former California governor said. "Or you could punch a guy, knock his teeth out then say 'You were overdue for an extraction.' You have to admit that one is cool, huh?"Hemsworth politely takes the tips but ruins the moment when the "Terminator" star mentions a helicopter scene, to which the actor poorly attempts to mimic Schwarzenegger's iconic line "Get to the choppa" from 1987's "Predator."An unamused Schwarzenegger gives him the side-eye, and the...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:37:15 GMT

In what might be viewed as a gigantic upset given the sinking multi-year trajectory, the Pac-12’s outlook for the 2023-24 season improved substantially during the barrage of offseason roster maneuverings.The top of the conference looks far stronger than it did six weeks ago, when NBA Draft decisions and transfer portal moves were in their infancy.At this point, it’s far easier to envision at least four teams contending for the regular-season title and advancing to the 2024 NCAA Tournament.While additional roster moves are inevitable over the coming weeks, they will likely be sporadic.

Was it the couple’s decision to essentially cover up their oldest son’s admitted molestation of multiple girls, including his own sisters, when he was teenager? Or was it their alleged exploitation of their children’s private lives, with their TLC show, “19 Kids and Counting,” in order to be become rich, famous and influential in conservative circles?There’s so much to choose from when it comes to the outwardly happy and wholesome Duggar family and Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s loyalty to the ultraconservative Chr...
