Yes, Netflix’s ‘Maniac’ Is a Thing That Is Happening (Later This Year) On Thursday, streaming giant Netflix released a flurry of tweets from its official account, each one showcasing an upcoming project for the channel this year. There were several pleasant surprises (like  GLOW’s  second season), but the real winner was visual proof that the channel has a planned release set for Cary Fukunaga’s adaptation of  Maniac . In  Maniac , Jonah Hill and Emma Stone play mental patients who are given the opportunity to live a new life in a world of their own design. The 10-episode mini-series will be helmed exclusively by Cary Fukunaga, the visionary director behind  True Detective  Season One and  Beasts of No Nation , the latter of which  you can stream on Netflix , right now.

I grew up reading in the middle of the night by the moonlight, which might explain why I started wearing glasses at a rather young age.

Allow me to take you to three different continents with   out of this world   sights and sites in this post. We shall begin with somewhere a little closer to (my current) home: Ely, here in England. When my best friend visited me just before my PhD viva, we decided to do a brief daytrip to a nearby town — Ely became the place of choice. Ely was small and cute, but the sizeable cathedral left quite an impression. As I walked past one of the towers,

‘Black Panther’ Historically Premieres in Saudi Arabia MARVEL.COM At 2 p.m. ET today, 600 guests enjoyed  Black Panther  at the first movie theater to open in Saudi Arabia in 25 years. The refitted conference hall in the King Abdullah Financial District of Riyadh welcomed an audience where men and women were allowed to sit next to one another to watch the movie, another landmark decision for the Middle Eastern nation. The choice to open Saudi Arabia up to the Hollywood does come with its caveats. For instance, 40 seconds of the original  Black Panther  were cut by local censors. Last year, Saudi officials said movies “will be subject to censorship according to media policy standards of the Kingdom,” to ensure any film screened there complies with their values and principles and did not contradict Sharia, or Islamic, law. Additionally, today’s event followed a strict schedule of socializing, prayer, ribbon cutting, inauguration,
