This has been the week from hell. I came back from holiday last week only to find out my cat had some sort of mystery illness. I was riddled with anxiety as I thought it was going to be something serious like cancer, but it turned out to be a bacterial infection which is treatable with medication. I found this out on Wednesday and felt such a sense of relief. I then wake up on Thursday morning to find out my nephew has passed away. He had Down's syndrome and epilepsy but neither of those things ever got in the way of him living life to the fullest. He was the most resilient and loving person I've ever known. He'd immediately lift me out of any bad mood as he'd say the most hilarious things. My sister found him in his bed on Thursday morning and said that he just wouldn't wake up. She said he looked so peaceful like he was simply sleeping. This entire thing just doesn't feel real. It's as if I'm having an out of body experience and typing about somebody else. I just can't believe it. My entire family have been shattered into pieces, but I'm trying to stay as strong as I can so that I can be there to support my sister and her husband. I don't tend to post much about my family on here, as I am generally a private person, but I've became close with a few people recently and I didn't want to just disappear without saying anything. I'm taking a break from ATRL whilst I take the time to grieve but I have a solid circle of friends / family around me, so we'll take care of each other. I can't believe these photos were taken only last month. My sister told me that he kept asking her if he could come to the gym to train with me as he wanted big muscles like his uncle Jordan. I loved spending time with him and I felt so proud that he wanted to come to the gym with me. This was only the beginning. Why is life so cruel sometimes? I just really want to wake up from this nightmare. I don't know where you've gone, but I hope you're at peace and are still finding ways to laugh. Uncle Jordan loves you lots Archie. Thanks for being my hero. xx P.S - Please don't forget to tell your friends and family how much you love them whilst they're still here.

If you are, there's a very good website "colonist.io" where you can play online

I don't think I've ever been in love and I wanna know how it feels. I know it is hard to explain feelings but I just wanna hear from the people!

So I've been obsessed with Brazil lately to the point where I watch television and film from there (learning Portuguese) and I have to say that I have never seen an appreciation or talk thread about Brazil, so I decided to start one because I want to see if any Brazilian ATRLers are on here, but I also want to talk and share more about pop culture & Brazilian culture, so yeah. Obrigado y Ola a todos vocês!

Sources tell Variety that the "Joker" sequel's trailer numbers and social engagement surpassed that of the first "Barbie" trailer to become Warner Bros.’ biggest launch in recent years. The release was no doubt bolstered by Lady Gaga's massive 150 million follower social media footprint. The trailer instantly became the #1 trending video on YouTube on premiere night and currently boasts 15.6 million views and counting on that platform alone, where it remains the #4 trending video nearly two days after its launch. The "Joker" sequel trailer also dominated X during its first 24 hours, with 10 terms related to the movie trending, including #JokerFolieADeux, Gaga, Harley, Harley Quinn, Joaquin Phoenix, Joker, Joker 2, Joker2, Lady Gaga and Todd Phillips. https://variety.com/2024/film/news/joker-2-trailer-views-first-24-hours-1235968367/

Well are you? or does it depend on the situation

ATRL Entertainment presents.. 2023 Box Office

Do you think Mauricio Pochettino will be able to hold on to his job as Chelsea manager beyond the end of the season? The Argentine, 52, was given the target of achieving a league position that will qualify Chelsea for a European competition. Chelsea is currently 9th in the Premier League table but with at least two games in hand over the clubs above them. A seventh place finish - enough to qualify for either the Europa League or the Conference League - is still possible, though it will rely on the young squad performing consistently in the business end of the season - something that has alluded Poch so far. It should be noted that on his appointment, Poch said there are no excuses for not winning immediately, but he's now changed his tune and pleaded for patience. He also hasn't built a positive relationship with supporters and is frequently booed. There are rumours that a break clause in his contract would allow the club to sack him in the summer without paying compensation. He was also only offered a short 2+1 contract, which doesn't indicate Chelsea's owners and directors ever saw him as a long-term option. What say you, ATRL? Will he survive? Should he survive?

title. Was always curious about this: how many ppl do you generally message per day on average. I feel like my average is like 5-10 ppl per day. It varies tho, some days are just boring, some are more involved. But sometimes I see people in public who seem to text like 50+ people a day and are constantly on messages. This includes imessage/whatsapp / whatever your main form of comm is. So, thots?

Hello guys, so I often browse atrl while at work or in school and sometimes the avis displayed are simply inappropriate or awkward. Often times I have opened the site and I can feel someone behind me is SHOOK by some of the avis some of our users have lol. I dont care when I'm home but in public it can be really inappropriate. I'm wondering if other members have felt this way and would like to have some kind of setting where we can have avis be non visible temporarily or something like that.

Dan Lin, the streaming service's new film chief, wants to produce a more varied slate of movies to better appeal to the array of interests among subscribers. Back in, say, 2019, if a filmmaker signed a deal with Netflix, it meant that he or she would be well paid and receive complete creative freedom. Theatrical release? Not so much. Still, the paycheck and the latitude — and the potential to reach the streaming service's huge subscriber base — helped compensate for the lack of hoopla that comes when a traditional studio opens a film in multiplexes around the world. But those days are a thing of the past. Dan Lin arrived as Netflix's new film chief on April 1, and he has already started making changes. He laid off around 15 people in the creative film executive group, including one vice president and two directors. (Netflix's entire film department is around 150 people.) He reorganized his film department by genre rather than budget level and has indicated that Netflix is no longer only the home of expensive action flicks featuring big movie stars, like "The Gray Man" with Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans or "Red Notice" with Ryan Reynolds, Gal Gadot and Dwayne Johnson. Rather, Mr. Lin's mandate is to improve the quality of the movies and produce a wider spectrum of films — at different budget levels — the better to appeal to the varied interests of Netflix's 260 million subscribers. He will also be changing the formulas for how talent is paid, meaning no more enormous upfront deals. In other words, Netflix's age of austerity is well underway. The company declined to comment for this article. Now that Netflix has emerged as the dominant streaming platform, it no longer has to pay top dollar to lure auteur filmmakers like Martin Scorsese, Alfonso Cuarón and Bradley Cooper. It also helps that some of the big studios are again allowing their films to be shown on Netflix not long after they appear in theaters, providing more content to attract subscribers. The latest list of the 10 most-watched English-language films on the service featured six produced outside Netflix.
