Detective Pikachu creators troll audience by posting 'full movie' on YouTube

The film "Pokemon" Detective Pikachu" was uploaded in its entirety to YouTube just days before its theatrical release - at least Warner Bros. I wanted the audience to think that way. What appears to be a fraudulent account that uploaded all 102 minutes of the Pokemon movie and ruined its chances of a strong box office success turned out to be a very successful marketing ploy, […]

The restoration of Notre Dame is contrary to modern European trends

As you know, about a month ago in Paris, the roof and accompanying structures of the 700-year-old Notre Dame Cathedral burned down in Paris.
