Some artists establish a name for themselves through the work they share with the world, but others already have a name that comes with a reputation before their careers even begin.
Nearly every day of my Monday through Friday work week is a 12 hour day. Some are even 15 hour days.
‘Nigerian Prince’ is a dark (and scarily relevant) look into the financial underworld of Nigeria, held back by a fairly scattered story and an emphasis on style over substance. That said, when it hits its stride, you’re practically begging for it to take your money, and when it falls, it’s like the stock market. It sinks.
Homecoming brought Ball State students, staff and faculty more edible celebration with The Dinner of the Century Wednesday.
Weather Forecaster Hannah Stutler has your update on rain chances and a beautiful week ahead.
This week on Pop Tabs Matt, Jeremy, and Jake discuss Pete Davidson’s inappropriate jokes about Ariana Grande, Total War: Rome II unapologetically including women in their game, and Shane Dawson’s documentary series on Jake Paul.
For both newcomers and veterans of ‘My Hero Academia,’ ‘My Hero Academia: Two Heroes’ captures your attention from the start. Class 1-A are their usual loveable selves, especially Bakugo, and the few new characters were memorable. Some background was given for All Might, so it was neat to see the No. 1 hero when he was younger. The fighting sequences were action-packed and just beautiful to watch. The animation looked amazing, and ‘My Hero Academia: Two Heroes’ proved just how much better MHA would be if it were always on the big screen.
Whether the Cardinals are winning or losing, the Ball State cheerleading team and Code Red dance team are always on the sidelines dawning the red and white, cheering on their Cardinals to a victory.
Rather than walking to Scheumann Stadium to watch the Cardinals take on the Eagles, students will have an option with wheels.
Even if the story doesn’t bring anything new to the table, 'A Star Is Born' is still a solid execution of a tried and true story. Much of the thanks has to go to Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, whose chemistry was gold. Their solo performances also deserve to win gold, Oscars, that is. This may just be remembered as one of the high points of Lady Gaga’s career. She finally got the chance to prove herself as an actor on the silver screen, have her name in the same group as icons such as Garland and Streisand, and release a song (“I Will Never Love Again”) that is bound to become a classic power ballad along the lines of “I Will Always Love You” and “My Heart Will Go On”. It’s a wonderful start for what could be an illustrious career in film, and solid proof that Lady Gaga will most likely go down as one of most memorable, beloved artists of this decade.
When the neighbor’s cat began showing up to band practice, four Ball State students couldn’t help but attribute their name to their biggest fan. The cat has since moved away, but his legacy lives on in Porch Kat’s name.
Five individuals affiliated with Ball State University have been arrested for accessing child porn, a few even accessing that material on university grounds.
‘Venom’ is a must-see with all of its dark, gorgeous combat scenes. Tom Hardy makes Eddie Brock lovable and memorable, and Venom himself adds to the movie’s dark factor. It is fast-paced, which makes it enjoyable, but also hurts the movie in a few ways. Despite that, even without Spider-Man included, ‘Venom’ makes a beautiful movie worth watching.
