Tim Hedberg from Motivo produced a short documentary about the exodus of families from urban centers like Seattle and the role zoning plays in that trend. While zoning is intended to create more affordable housing in large cities in response to growing demand, many families are being priced out as a result. The film features multiple experts who disagree with each other on the root cause of the problems and solutions. The film was created for the Regulatory Transparency Project.

There is a range of affordable housing supporters in the Geek Estate Mastermind, many of whom joined a virtual discussion on affordable housing facilitated by Matt Hoffman a couple of weeks ago.
I won’t hide from the truth: I’m not an expert on the topic. What do you think, to zone or not to zone?
Austin is known for being cool. I got to experience it first hand when I had the pleasure of staying at one of the coolest hotels in the city: Hotel San Jose. Tucked inside lush garden walls, the hotel felt like a tiny oasis in a sweltering city – my own secret garden! It was such a breath of fresh air to stay in a small bungalow style hotel with just 40 rooms. A truly calming and relaxing experience: it now tops my Gotta Getaway list.
Hotel San Jose was founded by an attorney who left her job in New York to return to her native home of Texas. She had always admired the run down hotel across the street and wished to fix up the place. At the time, the hotel was in a bad neighborhood, full of crime, but Liz took a leap of faith and bought the place in hopes to renovate and make her dreams a reality. In the process, she made a documentary about the residents of the hotel, gentrification and urban renewal called “Last Days of the San Jose”, and in the end transformed Hotel San Jose into a gorgeous respite.
I was immediately smitten with the design of the rooms! Iconic pieces like the Eames Chair and butterfly chair were nestled into cozy quarters with chic cowhides and minimalist furniture. The clean lines of the bed and sofas were balanced with a pop of color and whimsy with things such as these beautiful Mexican blanket inspired kimono style bathrobes I’ve got to have one! that hung in the bathroom.
However, the best part about the hotel has to be the outside gardens and landscaping. The exterior, much like the interiors, stays true to the minimalist Mexican inspired design aesthetic. Cacti and greenery abound in the cool concrete exterior and grounds. Colorful lanterns and richly hued emeralds and terra cotta furniture blended right in with their surroundings, making me feel like I had really taken a mini vacation South of the border!
Isn’t that pool just gorge? If you’re ever in Austin, I highly recommend retreating to the Hotel San Jose. I have one more spot in Austin to share with you coming up this week that I know you are just going to love as much as I did. Stay tuned!

In the past year, streaming service Netflix has released two financially focused offerings: the film “Get Smart With Money” and the series “How to Get Rich.”Both feature powerhouse financial influencers who help people reevaluate their approaches to money to educate and empower them. Here are four takeaways that you can apply to your own life, no matter your financial situation.
Takeaways From ‘Get Smart With Money’
The “Get Smart With Money”documentary features well-known financial writers, bloggers and podcasters who share their expertise on how to become better at managing money. Here are a couple of lessons they imparted.
1. Emotion management is key to money management
In “Get Smart With Money,” some of the featured participants were dealing with significant debt or with the challenges of living paycheck to paycheck. The stress, fear and frustration that come with money can significantly impact how you manage it.
Tiffany Aliche, a financial educator also known as The Budgetnista, talks through this fear and encourages people to face their money head-on to see what they owe and where they need to save more. If you’re afraid of your money, that’s going to affect how you manage your money, she says in the film.
2. Money is a tool to help you create the life you desire
Aliche tells one of the show participants to create a “dream fund,” a special savings account for goals outside of regular bills and emergency fund budgeting. This takeaway is a great reminder that money is meant to be used for things that will make you happy in addition to paying for daily expenses.
Takeaways From ‘How to Get Rich’
Ramit Sethi, author of bestselling book “I Will Teach You to Be Rich,” hosts this Netflix series and helps participants define their goals and make moves to achieve them. Here are some of the lessons and tips from the show.
3. Think about what makes you happy
One of the pillars of Sethi’s advice is the concept of “a rich life,” meaning the financial ability to do things that bring joy. He emphasizes that a rich life comes in many forms, like being able to take time off from work when you want to, fly in business class for long trips or even help a parent retire, as was the goal of one of the show participants.
Mindy Jensen, a host of financial podcast “BiggerPockets Money,” had an aha moment with Sethi when she was a guest on his podcast. Sethi’s podcast is separate from his Netflix show, but he emphasizes a lot of similar money guidelines. As Sethi discussed the concept of a rich life with Jensen and her husband — who are both financially independent, meaning they have enough money to pay their living expenses for the rest of their lives — they realized that even with their large net worth, they weren’t spending enough money to make life more enjoyable. After the conversation, the couple decided that they wanted to spend more money on travel with their two teenage daughters.
“We don’t need or want more things, but we want more experiences,” Jensen told NerdWallet.
Looking back on her journey to financial independence, Jensen also realized that there was more she and her husband could have done to start their rich life earlier.
“You can continue to contribute to your retirement accounts and investments, but it doesn’t have to be this frantic mad dash to the finish line,” she says. “You can do it a little slower and enjoy your life.”
4. Homeownership doesn’t have to be a financial goal
It can be hard to break away from the idea of homeownership as a major financial achievement. In America, the mythos of the “white picket fence” is often part of the way people describe success. Sethi’s perspective on homeownership, however, differs from popular convention. In “How to Get Rich,” he advises participants to keep in mind all of the additional costs that come with homeownership compared with what’s covered by a landlord.
Homeownership means that everything falls to you, on top of whatever you pay for your mortgage, home insurance, homeowners association fees and property taxes. If you find a rental that leaves enough room in your budget to allow you to invest more, the math can sometimes work out better for your net worth in the long run, Sethi says.
For people who are getting started on their financial journey — as well as those who are well on their way — these shows can provide inspiration and information about how to make your money work better for you.

In these languid—and, for much of the country, excruciatingly, unbelievably hot—days of summer, the timeless allure of a large, cool body of water beckons. And while heading to the lake is, for some, an occasional destination, for others it’s a way of life.
Sure, some of America’s more famous lake towns are pricey. But there are others that are surprisingly affordable, offering lakeside living for bargain-basement prices. The data team at Realtor.com® dug into the data to find some of the cheapest lake town real estate in the nation.
It helps that there are a lot of lakes in America. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, there are just shy of 7 million bodies of water in the U.S. and in adjacent areas along the borders. Of those, 5.76 million are classified as a lake or pond, and 134,000 have official names.
Each of the lake towns we found has a unique charm, blending natural beauty and local culture. All of them are nestled in the most affordable regions of the country, especially the Upper Midwest to the Deep South—areas known for their low cost of living. As it turns out, they’re also ideal places for lake house shoppers not looking to stretch their budget.
As famously avid lake admirer Henry David Thoreau once wrote, “A lake is a landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature. It is Earth’s eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.”
To find the most affordable lake towns, we looked at all the home listings for the past year within a half-mile (roughly a 10-minute walk) of a named lake or pond. (Named bodies of water exclude reservoirs and lakes that folks can’t swim or boat on.) Then we calculated the median prices from July 2022 through June 2023 for homes in those areas to pinpoint the most affordable lake towns in 2023. Only towns with at least 50 home listings over that period were included.
We excluded big cities, because we’re looking for places where the lake plays a large part in the local culture. And we didn’t include extremely small towns, because you’ve got to have at least a few shops and restaurants to keep you busy when you’re not on the water. And we included only the single most affordable lake town in any state, to ensure geographic diversity.
So let’s set sail to the most affordable lakeside real estate in 2023.
Median list price: $154,900 Median list price per square foot: $76 Population: 29,534
Danville, a relatively small town in east central Illinois along the Indiana border, is home to Lake Vermilion. The human-made reservoir provides drinking water for the city, but it has also become a popular fishing and boating location. Cabins and docks line its forested edge.
The town was an industrial hot spot for the region from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century, as a major coal mining town and a rail hub. Abraham Lincoln was known to visit the town and once delivered a speech from the balcony of the home of a prominent Danville resident.
The median home listing within a half-mile of Lake Vermilion over the past year had a price tag 65% below the national median list price of $445,000 in June. A three-bedroom home within walking distance of Lake Vermilion, with hardwood floors, a garage, and a big yard, goes for $120,000. And for just over $100,000, home shoppers can find a two-bedroom condo about as close to the lake.
Median list price: $140,000 Median list price per square foot: $79 Population: 2,838
Rogers City is the smallest of any of the spots on our list of affordable lake towns, just shy of 3,000 residents.
Situated on the banks of Lake Huron, about 45 minutes from Cheboygan, Rogers City residents have quick access to multiple parks along the lakeshore. They include Harbor View Park on the southern corner, Seagull Point Park on the northern tip of the town, and several in between, including the Rogers City Yacht Harbor and Lakeside Park.
Rogers City has been host to multiple salmon fishing tournaments in the summer, including the vividly named Fat Hogs Fishing Frenzy and the more straightforward Rogers City Salmon Tournament.
It’s also home to the Great Lakes Lore Maritime Museum and the Presque Isle County Historical.
A large three-bedroom home with a garage and a brick fire pit in the backyard can be found for $165,000, a short walk from Rogers City’s North Shore Park and beach.
Median list price: $122,750 Median list price per square foot: $83 Population: 12,651
The western tip of northern New York state, in the Chautauqua-Allegheny region, is known for its lakeside getaway culture. And although some of the area’s real estate is quite pricey, the lowest home prices within a half-mile of a lake can be found in Dunkirk at the edge of Lake Erie.
The area was first occupied by the Indigenous Erie and Seneca tribes, then colonized by the French, who erected the Dunkirk Lighthouse at Point Gratiot in 1826. This helped the town become a significant regional port for coal and lumber shipping. It’s now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Dunkirk has multiple beach parks, and it hosts several summertime events, including an annual strawberry festival, arts and music festivals, and a “Fly-In Breakfast,” which welcomes pilots from all over to the small lakeside town.
Duke McLachlan, a real estate agent with Howard Hanna Hold Real Estate in neighboring Jamestown, says that from June through August, life in this area is all about the lake, for residents and visitors alike.
“It’s the whole Chautauqua area,” McLachlan says. “The local economy really picks up.”
Buyers will find the most listings just before and after prime lake season. Sellers know they can find buyers looking forward to the summer in April and May. Meanwhile, other sellers will list in September and October after they used their homes for the summer.
Median list price: $129,900 Median list price per square foot: $86 Population: 10,465
Minnesota is called the “Land of 10,000 Lakes” for a reason: The state has 11,842 of them.
So don’t drop your oar in the water when you hear that Fairmont, a small town in southern Minnesota near the Iowa border, sits on a string of five small lakes. These include George Lake, in the northern part of Fairmont, and Budd Lake, near the center of town.
All five offer boating and fishing—and there is very affordable real estate near two of these bodies of water.
The median home that was listed over the past year near both Lake George and Budd Lake is less than half the national list price. The real estate near Budd Lake is a little pricier, due to its proximity to the center of Fairmont, and a couple of developed parks along its edge.
For those who want to live and work near the water year-round in the “City of Lakes,” Fairmont’s local economy is driven by the local Mayo Health System hospital, two small colleges, and a couple of modern industrial companies.
Median list price: $126,900 Median list price per square foot: $91 Population: 4,977
Cherokee Village, a small town in central northern Arkansas about 20 miles south of the Missouri border, boasts seven lakes in total.
Lake Cherokee, the smaller of the two lakes where we found low-priced homes, has a park and private docks. Meanwhile, Lake Thunderbird, the town’s largest lake, has a public marina and the town’s public recreation center, which has two swimming pools and a minigolf course.
For just under $290,000, a homebuyer can get a 1,200 square-foot, two-bedroom house with a backyard dock on Lake Thunderbird. For those looking for homes costing less, just across the street from Lake Cherokee, a two-bedroom townhome can be found for as little as $120,000.
Median list price: $169,900 Median list price per square foot: $95 Population: 9,305
Pickwick Lake, a popular boating and fishing destination, was created by the Pickwick Landing Dam on the Tennessee River near where Alabama, Tennessee, and Mississippi meet.
The lake is known for record-size smallmouth bass and catfish. Local fishing guides say 2- or 3-pound smallmouth bass are the norm—and catches of 5 to 6 pounds are not uncommon.
History lovers will also appreciate the small town of Sheffield. It became a major wartime aluminum smelting location in the 1940s, boosting the nation’s aircraft production. It’s also the hometown of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
And it’s where you’ll find the famous Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, where a litany of modern musical icons came to record, including The Rolling Stones, Aretha Franklin, Cher, and Wham! The studio faded and was repurposed for several years, before a documentary reignited interest and a restoration brought it back to life. It’s now a museum during the day and a working studio at night.
Median list price: $135,000 Median list price per square foot: $96 Population: 65,440
Lorain is a small city on Lake Erie, in the far western corner of the Cleveland metro area. Like the other Great Lakes locations on our list, Lorain was once an industrial production mecca, dominated by steel.
Now, says Bill Swanzer, a real estate broker at The Swanzer Agency Realtors in neighboring Amherst, Lorain mixes a classic lake culture with good access to the city.
“You’re only 20 or 30 minutes from the Cleveland Browns‘ stadium,” Swanzer says. “So you can get to all the big-city things—live sports, live music, shows.”
But for Lorain residents, Lake Erie’s offerings are right in the backyard.
“The lake’s always been a big draw for us,” Swanzer says. “You’ve got kayaking, boating, fishing, swimming—you’ll see Jet-Skis on the water and parasailing.”
Median list price: $139,900 Median list price per square foot: $97 Population: 11,276
Two Rivers is uniquely situated on Lake Michigan, such that it remains cooler than nearby areas on hot summer days—earning the town its nickname “Cool City.” It became a summertime destination for folks looking for a reprieve from the heat.
The moniker is memorialized just about everywhere, from the annual Cool City Car Show & Cruise, the Cool City Brewing Co., and Cool City Coffee Shop to the Cool City Charters and Cool City Cleaners.
Summer activities include swimming and sunbathing at Neshotah Park & Beach, and hiking and camping in Point Beach State Forest, just north of town. There’s also boating and fishing on Lake Michigan and the town’s—you guessed it—two rivers. It’s also only about 30 miles southeast of Green Bay, offering relatively quick access to a big city nearby.
But what’s especially cool about Two Rivers for us is the low price of homes near Lake Michigan. Take this recently listed two-bedroom home with an updated bathroom and floors about a block from Lake Michigan, priced at just $134,000.
Median list price: $185,000 Median list price per square foot: $106 Population: 9,299
About 30 miles east of Wichita is Augusta and its 190-acre human-made lake on the north end. Augusta Lake, lined with parks, grassy embankments, and walking trails, is a community center of sorts. There are Little League tournaments, concerts, disc golf, and the town’s Fourth of July celebration, in addition to the standard lake activities like fishing, boating, and kayaking.
The town is known for its historic buildings, many of which have been added to the National or State Register of Historic Places.
Of course, we’re interested in the home prices, which are inexpensive, even for a relatively affordable state like Kansas. A three-bedroom, ranch-style home six doors away from Augusta Lake can be found for just $150,000.
Median list price: $285,000 Median list price per square foot: $125 Population: 7,565
Homes within a half-mile of Prestwood Lake are the most expensive of any place on our list of affordable lake towns—but they’re still about 35% less expensive than the national median list price.
Lauri McLeland, a Realtor with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Segars Realty in Hartsville, says it’s not uncommon to see small speed boats and jon boats on Prestwood Lake, and even some kayakers on Black Creek, which leads into the lake.
But although there’s a decent amount of housing within that half-mile of the lake, it can be a tight market for buyers looking for something right on the water.
The small South Carolina town, about an hour northeast of the state capital of Columbia, is a tight-knit community, says McLeland. Word of someone selling their home can lead quickly to an offer from another local looking to get closer to the water.
“Prestwood is a really pretty lake,” McLeland says. “There’s not a lot of housing right on the lake, and some of those sell before they even hit the market.”

While I’ve long been an art fan, it’s rare to have the opportunity to call an admired artist a dear friend. That’s why I feel both lucky and constantly inspired by watching photographer Emily Johnston evolve her craft and chase her passions by transitioning from a wedding photographer to focus on her fine art full time. We’ve certainly had some fun shoots in the past I think this one is my fave. Now Emily is breaking boundaries with prints of her Instagrams, creating innovative collage work and photo documentary series. Ethereal, haunting, inquisitive – those are just a few of the adjectives that describe the quiet moments Emily captures.
We’re so fascinated by what Emily sees in everyday life that allows her to find grace in ordinary things. We love how her lens interprets the world. We could sit and pick her brain for hours. Thankfully, she let us!
From Emily: “What’s essential to me about travel is the sense of disorientation it procures. That feeling of not knowing where I am, or exactly who I am in a new context allows me to look at everything around me with fresh eyes. It’s something that doesn’t come easily in familiar environments, but even when I’m not traveling, I think of the words of the bedridden Marcel Proust, “The real voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” So whatever it is that allows you to find that feeling….”
“About the images in our Holiday Pop-Up Shop: “When I see this image I made in Rome, I think about a different image that I didn’t make. It’s funny how one image can remind you of a moment, not just itself…the power of association! Anyway, inside this chapel there was the most insane 12 foot fresco with a sort of strange blue crest shaped form with these two eyes floating in it. I’m sure there’s some specific historical art context for it, but it’s not one I ever learned about in school and I loved the feeling of discovering new weird spiritual imagery.
The second image is from a simple quiet moment waking up with a cup of coffee at my parents’ place in Paris. It’s always nice to be home in that city, and I seem to find a new connection to it every time. I don’t ever remember such dramatic sunlight like this growing up, but there it was.”
“I share images that move me and that I want to remember. The ones that inscribe themselves in a personal or shared narrative. I’m always looking for ways to connect things or people. I don’t think diptychs are a trademark of my work, but I like the way individual images interact, when placed together in groups. There’s both an aesthetic and narrative synergy that can happen. That’s what I try to stay receptive to.”
Emily has an undeniable talent of making even the smallest dot of light flickering on a wall captivating. So there’s no question that these limited edition individually numbered! travel prints would conjure up endless inspiration gracing your walls! Shop them RIGHT HERE.

We all know celebrities for their silver-screen performances and their larger-than-life personas. But we don’t always realize that some famous faces have been involved in shockingly horrific acts of crime. From serious misconduct to premeditated murder, these are the stories of thirteen particularly infamous celebrity criminals whose shocking misdeeds created a media sensation.
1. Mark Wahlberg
One user commented, “Mark Wahlberg, lol.”
Another Redditor replied, “Honestly, it disgusts me every time. I wonder how that man still has a career.”
A user added, “It’s mystifying how the general public doesn’t realize. I’m guessing a lot of PR + white/male privilege from the media (Winona’s reputation was tarnished for shoplifting, etc.).”
“Don’t forget how Redditors rush to defend him every time he’s brought up in these ‘What are the most awful celebrities?’ AskReddit threads they have every single day. He’s white and is in movies they like, so he’s absolved immediately of everything. The posts are usually the same pathetic Reddit defense, like: ‘Yes, he was a literal neonazi who has maimed people for life, but I’m sure Mark has changed and has to live with his past actions.’” another user responded.
One commenter replied, “One of his victims has ‘forgiven’ him, so people use that to defend him and say he’s reformed. When in truth, the victim could have forgiven him and moved on with their lives. They never said they excused his behavior.”
One of the users posted, “Here’s a snippet from an article: ‘In 1986, a then 15-year-old Wahlberg and three friends were charged with chasing three black children and pelting them with rocks while yelling [racist slurs] until an ambulance driver intervened.’ There’s more outlined in this article.”
One user also added, “To add to this: only [apologized] so he could get his conviction pardoned so that he could get a liquor license for his restaurant—felons can’t have liquor licenses.”
2. Bella Hadid
One user posted, “Bella Hadid.”
Another commenter asked, “What did she do?”
“She had a DUI that she blamed on her Chronic Lyme IIRC,” one Redditor added.
Another commented, “Yeah, and she was 17 at the time—the leaked email her mom Yolanda sent to Bella regarding the DUI & her dirty/messy car lives in my head rent free.”
3. Ian Watkins
One Redditor commented, “Not a widely known celebrity but used to be quite famous back in the day: Ian Watkins, lead singer of LostProphets. Imo he’s the worst one, no one else compares to his crimes.”
One user added, “I cannot urge anyone and everyone enough NOT to read the details of this. An absolute monster of the lowest form.”
Another user replied, “For real that man is legit a monster; the details really do just get worse and worse the more you read it’s flabbergasting. sent chills down my spine when I remembered LP being on the Warped Tour lineup the very first year I went as a tween.”
One commenter shared, “I used to be a true crime writer and have had to read the absolute goriest, most horrific things you could imagine, and the Ian Watkins court transcripts were the worst thing I’ve ever read—and I didn’t even make it past the first page!”
4. Reese Witherspoon
One user posted, “Reese Witherspoon being arrested for disorderly conduct and pulling the whole ‘Do you know who I am?’ with the cops.”
Another user commented, “I don’t know how she’s still considered ‘America’s Sweetheart’ after that. Props to her PR team, I guess.”
One commenter replied, “Every Karen thinks of herself as ‘America’s Sweetheart,’ so it tracks.”
Another user shared, “This one lives rent free in my mind. I love that video, lol.”
One user concluded, “American citizen, Reese Witherspoon.”
5. Travis Scott
One Redditor posted, “Travis Scott’s Astroworld tragedy, they changed the focus of people by showing the drama of Kanye, Kim and Pete. So many people died and he got away from a lot of attention and bad PR. I think he’s touring or something nowadays.”
Another user added, “While he is still touring, he’s facing multiple lawsuits and I think people need to understand that the legal system takes time when they say that he got away with it.”
One user replied, “I believe the lawsuits were filed in civil court so unfortunately he has a loophole in saying he hasn’t been charged with a crime yet. but hopefully the civil suit will pave the way for him being charged in the future because he was definitely liable for what happened at Astroworld.”
Another commenter exclaimed, “He should have been banned from touring at all. He had similar incidents in the past, and was warned along with his team about the concert and how dangerous it was so many times. They went ahead and did it anyway and he fueled the fire at the concert afterwards. He was terrible and deserves at least some jail time. I feel disgusted whenever I hear about him. He also seemed remorseless. I watched Martin Garrix’s vlogs and he almost had to stop a concert over such an issue with his recent shows in Latin America because the crowd was slowly starting to crush itself.”
6. Tim Allen
One Redditor shared, “Tim Allen was busted with [possession of drugs] in the 70’s…2 years in jail.”
“That’s because he snitched on literally everybody,” one user answered.
Another user replied, “I always post this but the craziest thing about that is that he didn’t get arrested at an airport because he was transporting it via plane, he was arrested there because he had arranged the drug deal to take place at the airport. Who does a drug deal at an airport!?”
7. Allison Mack
One user shared, “Allison Mack and the s*x cult NXIVM.”
“Omg apparently she’s in prison!! I’m actually surprised she wasn’t just let off with a slap on the wrist with the amount of money and vaguely influential people involved that sounds like some… some high stakes scumbag NYC lawyer might be able to buy you out of,” another user replied.
One user added, “That is a slap on the wrist. The leader of the cult will spend the rest of his life in prison.”
One user also responded, “In fairness, Allison Mack was one of 8 ‘first line’ DOS members. Lauren Salzman was also charged and given probation, but six women who committed the same crimes weren’t charged at all. Nicki Clyne is out culting around the US as a free woman despite being an illegal immigrant who committed immigration fraud. The woman who did the branding is free. The only [NXIVM] members who got higher sentences than Allison Mack were Raniere, Claire Bronfman, and Nancy Salzman. Mack’s celebrity probably made her seem disproportionately culpable.”
8. Ezra Miller
One Redditor commented, “Ezra Miller.”
Another user added, “Lawd, that child needs help.”
9. Martha Stewart
One user commented, “Martha Stewart.”
Another user replied, “I love how after prison her and Snoop became best friends. Such a humble ending.”
Another user added, “It really is endearing.”
10. Shakira
“Shakira, Shakira,” one Redditor shared.
Another Redditor asked, “What was her crime? Am OOTL.”
Another commenter answered, “Tax Evasion.”
One user added, “Good old tax evasion.”
11. Errol Flynn
One user replied, “Yuck. Yuck yuck yuck. Another guy to add to the statutory [sexual assault] list. And another addition to the ‘women and girls are lying’ scorecard…”
12. Vince Neil
One Redditor commented, “Vince Neil. He was measured at having a blood alcohol level (at time of testing) of .17 after getting into a high-speed accident that killed the passenger of his car and severely injured the people in the other car in the accident (both had severe injuries and brain damage). He had to do community service, pay over $2 million in damages and spent a little over two weeks in jail for this.”
13. Jimmy Saville
One user commented, “Anybody mention Jimmy Saville yet? (TW if you decide to Google).”
The OP replied, “I’m in the states, so I wasn’t super familiar with this guy. Watched the Netflix documentary on him and he was a genuine monster.”
Another added, “Absolutely vile. And he was so incredibly well connected he was basically untouchable. Those kids were failed by everybody.”

10 Terrible Fads People Are Glad Died Out
Every fad has its time in the limelight, but some of them come and go faster than others; and some just need to die out right away. Check out this list of fads of which people were happy to see the last.
You know the movie you watched that had God-awful effects and made you almost smash your TV? We all hate those. Great movie SFX can shoot the viewer’s experience from two to one hundred in a heartbeat.
Someone in an online film forum, probably having had enough of terrible special effects, asked for some foreign movies with remarkable special effects. These are our favorites from the recommendations.
1. Hero (2002)
Hero is set in Ancient China, and Jet Li stars in it. Fun fact: his name in the film is Nameless (无名). The movie is about Nameless recounting how he fought the King’s enemies and won. But the King, who thinks he’s lying, questions the details of his story.
A fan thinks, “Hero is one of the most visually stunning movies I’ve ever seen.” What else can you expect from the most expensive project in China in 2002?
2. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000)
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is another Chinese movie directed by Ang Lee and stars Michelle Yeoh, Chow Yun-fat, Zhang Ziyi, and Chang Chen. The film has just the right mix of action, adventure, good acting, and beautiful effects. As a result, it became the highest-grossing foreign-language film produced overseas in American history.
3. Pan’s Labyrinth (2006)
All ye lovers of dark fantasy horror films get in here! This Spanish film was so good that it won many international awards, including three Academy Awards.
The plot follows 10-year-old Ofelia (played by Ivana Baquero), who goes into a magical labyrinth and has to complete some quests to prove that she is royalty. Spoiler alert, Ofelia dies in this movie. Sad, but this makes the film more interesting for some people. One said, “My absolute favorite movie ever. So good.”
4. Space Sweepers (2021)
The film is regarded as “the first Korean film space blockbuster.” It is set in a time when Earth is uninhabitable, 2092. The new “Earth” is for only 1% of the 1%. The fate of the other 99% is anyone’s guess.
Critics agree the movie has “relatable characters and impressive effects.” Still, you would have to see it yourself to agree or disagree.
5. Rigor Mortis (2013)
Back to our horror movie lovers, Juno Mak and Takashi Shimizu directed and produced this Hong Kong horror film. You know those films you watch with keen interest and total amazement, and then after an hour of being entertained, you find out, at the very end, that all was not as you thought it was. This is one.
Ultimately, we find out that most of the story didn’t happen. It was all in the mind of the main character. Oops! Did I forget to say spoiler alert?
6. Sputnik (2020)
Russian Horror movies are one of the best horror movies out there. Case in point, Sputnik. Egor Abramenko directed this one.
Oksana Akinshina stars in this Sci-Fi horror as Tatyana Yuryevna Klimova. She gets recruited to figure out how to help a cosmonaut named Konstantin, the sole survivor of a space accident. Except her recruiter lied to her.
7. Train To Busan (2016)
What is good horror without flesh-eating zombies? This South Korean horror film has one of the best effects from movies released in 2016.
The drama takes place on a train on its way to Busan. Seok-woo, played by Gong Woo, and his daughter Su-an, played by Kim-Su-an, are on the train to see his ex-wife. Let’s just say they never got to Busan. Although the first movie was a huge hit, the sequel, released in 2020, was less successful than the first.
8. Troll Hunter (2010)
This Norwegian film follows a group of students who want to make a documentary about a bear poacher in the forest.
After a series of searches and investigations, they find out that there is no bear poacher; instead, there are trolls in the forest. André Øvredal wrote and directed the film, featuring various famous Norwegian comedians.
9. Night Watch (2004)
We have another Russian horror film on our hands. The storyline of this film puts darkness and light against each other in a great war, but no side wins, so they reach a truce. Night Watch, directed by Timur Bekmambetov, received mixed reactions from critics. Still, the movie has many lovers.
10. The Wandering Earth (2019)
Apparently, Asians have the movie world on lockdown as far as special effects are involved. The last movie on the list is a Chinese science fiction film. It is set in 2058; the sun is dying out, and Earth is in danger. The plan is to find a way to move Earth out of its orbit and into a new one. Did they succeed? Only one way for you to find out.
Frant Gwo directed the film. It set a record in the Chinese film industry by earning more than £232 million in six days.

10 Celebrities That Made the Big Times Then Disappeared Off The Face of the Earth
We’ve all been there – sitting through a movie that we can’t help but cringe at, but somehow it still manages to hold a special place in our hearts.
These 10 Terrible Movies Are Still People’s Favorites
If you could watch any TV series for the first time again, what would it be? After someone polled the internet, these are the top-voted television series.
1. Breaking Bad
“Breaking Bad,” shared one. “The greatest tv series of all time. Though it wasn’t a Netflix original, I’d say this was one of the first shows that helped usher us into the streaming era. Truly iconic, and Bryan Cranston is one of the greatest actors of all time..”
2. The Good Place
Many people agreed with, The Good Place. “It is one of those shows that gets more interesting (in new ways) each time you watch it, and I don’t think that can be said for many other shows! Plus, it’s an absolute masterclass in casting, makes intellectual topics fun, and has unique characters — no wonder it’s my favorite.”
3. Futurama
Futurama came in at number three on the list. However, one person noted, “We skip the dog episode, though.” “I completely agree,” said another. “As this is probably my most rewatchable show, there were many memorable first-time moments. The Bee episode is up there for me.”
4. M*A*S*H
“I’m dating myself here, but M*A*S*H,” shared another. “Very, very funny. It’s about the Korean war, but the good thing is that you don’t have to know or even understand anything about history to laugh your bum off. It has its touching moments too.
5. Community
“Community. I’d give anything to see ‘Remedial Chaos Theory’ or ‘Intermediate Documentary Filmmaking’ for the first time again,” one confessed. While others agreed, one added, “You discover new things on the 30th rewatch.”
6. Fleabag
Several people voted for the show, Fleabag. “Oh man, I’m feeling wistful just imagining seeing it again for the first time.” Another added, “I can’t stress how much I would recommend this show even if you don’t see why on the first episode, everyone should watch it. I promise by the end. You’ll be glad you did. It’s only two very short seasons. I came here looking specifically for this show.”
7. The X-Files
“I started watching The X-Files when I was eight and rewatched the entire series when I was 28,” answered another. “It was such an enriching experience. All of the episodes I didn’t get when I was a kid hit deep 20 years later. The truth is out there, my friends.”
8. Fringe
One user confessed, “I didn’t expect this answer so high up. Fringe is so underrated! Hate the last season, but I wish I could experience the second season for the first time again.” A second added, “Watched it several times over. Never disappoints.”
9. Twin Peaks
“Twin Peaks. Every watch-through is a wild ride. But nothing compares to that first watch,” one suggested. Another said, “It’s an intense fever dream of a show and probably a bit quirky for some, but for my money, it’s the most absorbing series of all time.
I’m still obsessed with it years later. For those new to the show, start with seasons one and two. Then watch the movie Fire Walk With Me and then season three, which takes place 25 years later.”
10. Avatar: The Last Airbender
“Avatar: The Last Airbender,” answered another. “I’d give anything to experience it the first time again. I’m going to watch the new series from Avatar studios and hope it can replicate that feeling.”
11. Firefly
Someone volunteered, “Firefly. The best show I never want to see a remake of” shared one. “I honestly don’t want to go through the heartbreak of learning that it was canceled all over again. It’s taken me a lot of time to heal from that,” confessed another.
12. True Detective Season 1
“True Detective Season 1. Peak Matthew McConaughey right there,” one replied. “My life was much better when I watched this the first time.” Another admitted, “I saw this season again recently, and it was even better the second time. I missed so many details the first time around.”
13. Black Mirror
“Black Mirror,” one noted. “It’s not the same when rewatching. Still good, but nothing beats seeing each story for the first time.” A second said, “Yo, that show was wild the first run. It was like anti-anti depressants.”
14. Lost
One person shouted, “Definitely LOST. I’m wondering how it would be to binge the series, but there was something about the year wait to find out what was in the hatch.” A second added, “I love Lost! You can only recreate the magic of watching it for the first time by introducing it to someone who’s never seen it and watching it with them!”
15. The Wire
Finally, The Wire comes in at number fifteen on this list. Someone suggested, “The Wire is great for multiple rewatches. It’s nice having an attachment to the characters from the get-go and being reminded why you like them so much.”

15 Terrible Movies That Are Amazingly Enjoyable
10 Absolute Worst Actors and Directors to Work With
While some actors and directors have earned a reputation for being easy to work with and respectful of their colleagues, others have earned a reputation for being difficult and unprofessional.
10 Absolute Worst Actors and Directors to Work With
Some movies suffer from being weird. For instance, look at 2001’s Freddy Got Fingered and 2003’s The Room; they’re strange and awful.
Other films, however, are weird but still manage to be watchable. One keen cinema fan has started a discussion asking for “movies that are weird in a good way.” These are some of the best movie recommendations the film community made.
1. Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)
Everything Everywhere All at Once is an absurdist comedy-drama about a Chinese-American immigrant who has to connect with parallel universe versions of herself to prevent the universe from being destroyed by a powerful being. It’s bizarre.
1. Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)
One moviegoer suggests it, and the responses are unanimously positive. Another says it’s the best weird thing they’ve ever seen, and another can’t recommend it enough but suggests watching it with an open mind.
2. Being John Malkovich (1999)
A couple of posters give Being John Malkovich as their answer. It’s a surrealist fantasy comedy that stars Malkovich as a fictional version of himself. It follows a puppeteer who discovers a portal that leads into Malkovich’s mind, where much of the movie is set.
2. Being John Malkovich (1999)
The responses to the suggestion are all positive. One film buff notes it’s so weird but so good; another says it’s excellent and messed up, which describes it nicely.
3. Big Fish (2003)
Big Fish is a Tim Burton movie, automatically making it somewhat weird. It’s a fantasy comedy-drama based on Daniel Wallace’s 1988 novel. It’s about an exasperated son attempting to distinguish fact from fiction in his dying father’s life, which results in some peculiar scenes.
3. Big Fish (2003)
A film lover includes it in a list of suggestions and says they like the mix of fantasy, reality, and exaggeration. Another poster comments on what a well-done movie it is.
4. Evil Dead II (1987)
Evil Dead II is a comedy horror serving as a remake and a sequel to 1981’s The Evil Dead (let’s call it a “requel”). It follows a young man, Ash Williams, to a remote cabin with his girlfriend. There, they unwittingly unleash demons that torment and possess them. It’s a bizarre, surreal, and satirical take on the comedy horror genre.
4. Evil Dead II (1987)
A critic describes it as funny and nasty, which has prompted several others to comment. Another cinephile says there are so many creative moments; another cites the scene in which Ash laughs hysterically, and the moose on the wall is laughing with him as a particularly brilliant but weird moment.
5. Galaxy Quest (1999)
A film fanatic suggests Galaxy Quest fits the bill for this discussion. The sci-fi comedy follows the cast of a fictional cult television series, the eponymous Galaxy Quest, as they get inadvertently pulled into an interstellar war by extraterrestrial beings who believe their show is a real documentary.
5. Galaxy Quest (1999)
It works as both a Star Trek spoof and a standalone comedy movie. Another suggests it’s “one of the best Star Trek movies,” which accurately conveys the bizarre nature of the film.
6. Buckaroo Banzai (1984)
Buckaroo Banzai, also known as The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, was very unpopular when it was first released, mainly due to its sheer weirdness. Critics saw it as strange and unintelligible. It’s a sci-fi movie with an incredible cast about the efforts of the eponymous polymath to defeat aliens intent on taking over the world.
6. Buckaroo Banzai (1984)
It’s far more appreciated now, as the commenters in this discussion suggest. One fan explains they sat in an empty theater watching it in 1984 and are happy to see it’s now getting the recognition it deserves. Another says they joined the discussion in the specific hope of seeing someone give it as an answer.
7. Under the Skin (2013)
Another moviegoer votes for the sci-fi movie Under the Skin. It prompted another user to reply, saying it was “weird in a freaky way.” That’s an apt description, as it’s an unsettling movie with lots of weird imagery, but it’s undoubtedly excellent.
7. Under the Skin (2013)
The movie follows a strange, otherworldly woman, played by Scarlett Johansson, as she preys on unsuspecting men in the unlikely location of Scotland.
8. They Live (1988)
Someone has put forward John Carpenter’s They Live as a wonderfully weird movie, which has prompted another user to ask if it fits the bill in terms of weirdness. The original poster affirms that it is a bizarre movie by saying “very.” They are correct.
8. They Live (1988)
It’s a sci-fi action horror about an unnamed drifter who, wearing unique sunglasses, discovers that the ruling classes are extraterrestrials who conceal their appearance and manipulate the masses to consume, breed, and conform through subliminal messages in mass media.
9. Fight Club (1999)
Fight Club undoubtedly fits the criteria for this discussion, so it’s surprising to see only one person suggest it as an answer and even more surprising to see nobody elaborating on it. Regardless, it’s included in this list because it’s a perfect example of a weird movie that is also fantastic.
9. Fight Club (1999)
It’s narrated by the lead character, an unnamed man who joins a “fight club” with a soap salesman who turns out to be his alter-ego. It’s incredibly odd, but there’s a reason it’s one of the most talked about movies of the 1990s.
10. Donnie Darko (2001)
Donnie Darko appears in a list of suggestions by one keen movie fan, which has prompted another user to agree, saying they love every movie in said list.
10. Donnie Darko (2001)
It’s a psychological sci-fi thriller about the eponymous emotionally unstable teenager. He avoids inevitable death in a bizarre accident through sleepwalking, then has visions of a giant humanoid rabbit who tells him the world will end in less than a month. It’s original, intelligent, and peculiar.
