Even Ice Cream Companies Are Trying Their Hand at Weird, Dystopian Cinema
If you’ve never had the pleasure of encountering Halo Top ice scream, I’ve got some world-changing news for you: no longer will you need to feel bad for eating ice cream by the pint!

You could do a lot worse with your stress-eating.

Bill Paxton, Star of ‘Aliens’ and ‘Twister,’ Passes Away at 61
As a teenager in the ’90s, no actor better represented blockbuster movies than Bill Paxton.

If you saw Paxton’s name in the opening credits of a movie, you knew that the film was going to be better for it.
