Buzz Feed3 days ago

FYI: Amazon Prime Day is coming!
A ~cat-a-pult~ that's the purrrrfect little game when you're bored and alone sitting at your desk. It comes with a little bullseye landing mat, or you can just pelt your work bestie with mini cat figures... do whatever you want, tbh.
A storage pillow to add some comfy decor and a secret stash spot for your throw blankets, your off-season clothes, extra sets of sheets, or your endless supply of squishmallows. Just unzip it, stuff it, and voila — your clutter is now a chic, cushiony-looking masterpiece. It's perfect for small spaces, dorms, chaotic homes with one too many roommates, or anyone who wants their living room to look more put together... without a lot of effort.
A pack of pee pads that do way more than just soak up messes — they actually help monitor your dog's health, too! These smart pads react to the pH in your dog's urine and change color to alert you to potential issues like UTIs or dehydration. They're also leak-proof, fast absorbing, odor-blocking, and even have built-in pheromones to encourage your dog to pee in the right spot.
A doorbell cover so you can finally have uninterrupted WFH meetings, Netflix marathon-watching, and (most importantly) your newborn can nap peacefully without a loud ding-dong waking them up. It blocks the button but not your camera, so delivery drivers and solicitors get the message without you losing your bird's eye view of your property — and even better, without you saying a single word. You can rotate it between "Do Not Disturb" and "No Soliciting," and it fits most doorbells, from Ring to Nest to the classic doorbell variety. It installs in seconds, comes with extra ~customizable~ signs, and is weatherproof so it can stay up all year long.
A silicone ring protector for keeping your engagement ring safe from the chaos of everyday life, whether you're at the gym, doing dishes, or deep in the garden. This soft, flexible cover slips right over your ring to guard it from scratches, grime, and accidental bumps without dulling its sparkle. ✨ It's sweatproof, waterproof, and comes in a bunch of colors and sizes, so you can protect your bling without sacrificing your vibe.
Laneige's Neo Blurring Powder, the ultimate secret weapon for shine-free, smoother-looking skin. It blurs the appearance of pores, soaks up excess oil, and leaves you with that matte, but glowy finish. It'll look like you just stepped out of a professional's glam chair.
A weekly keyboard planner that'll make you feel like the organized main character you were born to be.

Whether you're a planner stan or just trying to remember what day it is, this planner's here to keep your life together — or at least look like it is.
A smudge-correcting clear nail polish, aka an undo button for your manicure. Smudged a nail right after painting it? No problem. This magical top coat helps smooth out dings, dents, and accidental fabric imprints like it never. even. happened. It also dries super fast and leaves your nails with a glossy, salon-like finish. It's perfect for anyone who constantly messes up the last finger and refuses to start over — aka all of us...
An expanding shower liner if your teeny tiny shower makes you feel like you're in a sardine can. The curved design will help free up some extra room so you feel like you're in a bigger shower — and not constantly brushing up against the liner... 'CAUSE LET A GIRL BREATHE.
A pack of carborundum sponges that'll help scrub away burnt messes like magic — no elbow grease (or harsh cleaners) required. These gritty little powerhouses use a compound of silicone to tackle rust, grease, and gunk on pots, pans, grills, and sinks. They're reusable, cuttable, and able to give the glow-up your cookware's been begging for.
A handy little Pikk-it tool to easily remove the hair that's stuck in your vacuum's roller brush — it's hurting your machine's ability to clean! Bonus: you can use it for hairbrushes, too, 'cause ripping out stray hairs with your finger is just not as effective.
A set of spicy margarita instant cocktail tea bags so you can turn yourself into a seasoned bartender with no shaker, no mess, and no mixology degree required. Just steep one of these tea bags in cold water and tequila (or skip the booze for a mocktail) for a zesty, jalapeño-kissed margarita with a smoky finish.
A hair identifier spray that'll make you wonder how you ever dermaplaned without it. This genius mist highlights even the tiniest peach fuzz, ensuring no hair is left behind. Just spritz it on, and watch as every strand becomes visible for precise removal.
A space-saving ceramic folding griddle to make your kitchen counter a full-on brunch station. It's got a roomy surface, dual-temp zones (so your eggs and pancakes don't get ruined), and a nonstick ceramic coating that makes cleanup easy. It stores upright, so even the tiniest kitchen can handle the big breakfast energy this thing brings.
A Grim Steeper silicone tea infuser so you can have a ~killer~ tea break. This 'lil grim reaper is designed to hang on your mug with its scythe while your loose-leaf brews to perfection. He's spooky, adorable, and totally dishwasher safe — a true triple threat.
A boho style flowy skort with ruffled tiers and a stretchy high waist that makes it a summer must-have for beach days, brunches, and everything in between. Reviewers say it's comfortable, fun to style, and *not* see-through — 'cause that's a fashion mishap we don't want.
A pack of Lego highlighters so your notes pop and your desk has a hint of your childhood playroom to it. Each one has a real Lego brick on top, so you can actually snap them together. Or if you're like me, you'd stick your favorite mini figurine on it as you read — it's like a little study buddy!
A Deli ProKeeper to keep your deli meats and cheeses fresher than ever — and finally stop your fridge from turning into a sad cold-cut graveyard. It's got an airtight seal and a clear lid you can literally write on to label your snacks or expiration dates. Plus, the grooved bottom means your delicious ham isn't just sitting in meat juice — 'cause, ew.
A vacuum LED light that'll ~light up~ all of the hair, dust, and dirt that's camouflaging itself into your floor. It's universal design can attach to *any* vacuum — and, yes, that includes the old one collecting dust in your closet. Now your floors will be SPOTLESS, so you can walk around barefoot and not feel the crumbs of... something... stick onto your foot.
A screen-cleaning brush for all of the dust, pollen, and mystery lint that's built up since... well, have you ever cleaned it? This handy brush works with the handle or snaps onto the included long arm to reach higher spots. It grabs every stubborn speck ruining your view (and maybe even your sinuses) when you crack the window for some "fresh" air.
A DIY mosaic candle holder so you can unleash your inner crafty side without reliving the pain from your hot glue gun days. It comes with everything you need to create a sparkly little masterpiece you'll be proud to display. Light your favorite candle inside it once you're done, and you'll feel instant pride for your dazzling work!

A dual-showerhead so you and your partner can finally take a shower together without one of you freezing your (literal) butt off. This genius setup lets both parties enjoy full water pressure at the same time (!!), so there's no more awkward rotating or shivering in the corner. It installs in less than 10 minutes and fits most standard showers, making it a total game changer for couples or parents.
A flowy tiered maxi dress because it's ready to serve from sunup sightseeing to sunset spritzes — no outfit change required. Whether you're souvenir shopping or dining on some delish calamari by the water, it's an easy yes. Just throw on some sunnies, comfy sandals, and your fave bag, and you're golden. Effortless, versatile, and chic as heck — we love!
A pair of loafers that reviewers say are comfortable and look like Doc Martens... so they're basically your new go-to shoe for stomping through life in style. They've got that chunky, edgy vibe with a sleek faux leather finish and bold lug sole, but without the Doc Martens price tag (or break-in blisters).
A portable cocktail (and mocktail!) maker tool, an app-powered gadget that helps you whip up over 480 drinks based on what you already have at home. Just tap, mix, and sip your way to speakeasy-level cocktails without any subscriptions or bulky machines.
A ceiling fan carbon filter if the air in your home is feeling a little stuffy 'cause of dust, dander, pollen, and other allergens. Just stick it to a fan blade, turn on the fan, and it'll immediately start working. Reviewers who keep their house tidy were shocked by the amount of stuff this still picked up.
A spinning water bottle organizer that'll bring order to your chaotic tumbler collection— because let's be real, your Stanley and Yeti cups deserve better than being shoved in a cabinet (they're expensive!). It holds up to six jumbo 40 oz. bottles and rotates a full 360 degrees, so you can easily give it a spin and grab your fave water bottle. It's so cute you'll want to keep it on your counter (or near your water dispenser).
A Maybelline volumizing brow mousse so you can achieve fluffy, full brows without them looking overdone. If you want natural-looking volume, just swipe it on with the brush so you can have a long-lasting look that stays put!
The LoudCup, a 20-ounce tumbler with a built-in stadium horn — yes, you read that right. Sip your drink, then flip it and blow to unleash a blast of sound everyone and their brother can hear. It's the ultimate game day accessory for people who want to hydrate and hype up the crowd simultaneously. Now when the screen says "Make some noise," you can fully deliver.

From 'My Mom Jayne' to 'The Woman in the Yard,' 10 movies to stream right now

In between making Fourth of July plans, be sure to watch a deep dive on Jayne Mansfield and get creeped out by a woman in a yard. Several new streaming films have arrived on your various streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon's Prime Video, Disney+ and more. There are theatrical releases finally coming home, including a Looney Tunes animated comedy and a sci-fi horror flick set in deep space, plus original fare like the debut from Steven Spielberg's filmmaking daughter. Here are 10 new and notable movies you can stream right now: 'Ash' A trippy paranoia space thriller that turns into a gonzo gore-fest. Eiza González plays an astronaut who wakes up on an alien planet, not knowing who she is but seeing a bunch of dead crew members around, and she needs to figure out if her rescuer (Aaron Paul) is on the level or not. Where to watch: Shudder 'The Day the Earth Blew Up' Who better to stave off an alien invasion than ... wait, what? Daffy Duck and Porky Pig?! This Looney Tunes animated comedy features the iconic 'toon twosome as roommates and coworkers at a chewing gum factory who uncover a mind-control plot when the launch of a new flavor turns people into zombies. Where to watch: Max 'KPop Demon Hunters' Catchy music, anime style and some horror combine in this kid-friendly action comedy. When the members of Korean pop trio Huntrix aren't busy being megastars, they protect their fans from supernatural dangers. But dark secrets and hormones become issues, thanks to their latest enemy: demons disguised as a hunky boy band. Where to watch: Netflix 'Love Me' Are you ready for a romantic sort-of-comedy between inanimate objects? Hundreds of years after mankind is wiped out, a smart buoy (Kristen Stewart) turns on and strikes up a friendship with the last satellite (Steven Yeun) launched into space. This weird couple literally gets more real as time passes, trying ice cream for the first time and opening up to each other. Where to watch: Paramount+ 'A Minecraft Movie' Kids are going to love it, as will anyone with a soft spot for the glorious weirdness of "Napoleon Dynamite." The adventure centers on misfits stuck in a fantasy world that makes the most of their creativity, with an unhinged Jack Black singing about lava chicken and a hilariously macho Jason Momoa gamely taking the brunt of the gags. Where to watch: Max 'My Mom Jayne' We knew Mariska Hargitay was one of TV's top cops. What we didn't realize is she's also a gifted documentarian. Hargitay was just 3 when her movie star mom, Jayne Mansfield, died, and the film is her way to figure out who Mansfield was. The documentary disconnects the sex symbol from the real person while also revealing the biological father Hargitay kept a secret. Where to watch: Max 'Nosferatu' Do you live for Prime Day and gothic thrillers with weird romance and bloodsuckers? Director Robert Eggers' remake of the horror classic finally comes to Amazon, with Lily-Rose Depp as a woman who's the obsession of an undead mustached menace (Bill Skarsgård). Where to watch: Prime Video 'Please Don't Feed the Children' With her first feature film, director Destry Allyn Spielberg – yes, the daughter of that Spielberg – creates an intense world where a pandemic has stricken adults instead of kids and teens on the run are taken in by a stranger (Michelle Dockery). Then Spielberg shows her true mettle by pulling off a twist that proudly goes full horror. Where to watch: Tubi 'Sally' While this revealing documentary about Sally Ride obviously touches on her being the first American woman in space, it's more interested in getting into her personal life. The movie digs into her tennis roots, the misogyny she dealt with regularly at NASA, and the lesbian romance she kept private for 27 years because she knew it wouldn't be accepted. Where to watch: Disney+, Hulu 'The Woman in the Yard' Danielle Deadwyler stars as an injured widow and single mother knocked for a loop by tragedy when a mysterious woman in a black veil shows up out of nowhere to haunt her family's yard. It's psychological horror that digs deep into depression and mental health, with a harrowing ending that leaves much up to audience interpretation. Where to watch: Peacock

The Squid Game Season 3 VIPs Were More Cringe Than Ever — Why Did Bad Line Readings Slip Through Again…?

The following contains spoilers for Season 3 of , now streaming on Netflix. Almost exactly midway through 2025, we have a candidate for TVLine's annual Dumbest Line of Dialogue of the Year 'award'. More from TVLine Squid Game Recruits Oscar Winner to Bring Series Finale to a Tantalizing Close, Tease Potential U.S. Edition Dept. Q Makes Nielsen Streaming Top 10 Debut - and With a Decidedly Older Audience Save the Dates: The Chicken Sisters Season 2, Mom on Netflix and More '!' Squid Game Season 3 VIP That goofy observation came to us courtesy of one of the golden-masked VIPs in Squid Game Season 3, now streaming on Netflix. The idea behind the VIPs, I presume, is that somebody has to finance this highly illegal and incredibly deadly underground competition that dangles a 45.6 billion won (~$34 million) jackpot and comes with a pretty pricey infrastructure (guard salary/health plans, wardrobe, single-use coffins, Velcro patches, etc). And if you're going to front the Front Man some of those greenbacks, you deserve a front row seat for the competition's final rounds. But just as much as Squid Game Season 3 masterfully ratcheted up the on-screen tension with a version of Jump Rope that got my own trick knee quaking, every iota of pent-up drama dissipated from the room each time they cut away to the masked VIPs' reactions and utterly inane commentary. 'You have the father, the mother and the baby all in the same game? I mean…,' remarked the long-haired VIP (aka TEMU Ellis from Die Hard), before he mimed his mind being blown. 'It's like watching one of those family reality shows,' sniffed the grey bearded VIP. VIP jJnnifer tittered before chiming in, 'I must say, I'm quite impressed with the player pool this time.' Squid Game's Season 3 VIPs were a different lot from those we who made us cringe during Season 1. According to the closing credits and Google Translate, David Sayers played Richard; Hong Kong native Jane Wong played Jennifer; Jordan Lambertoni played Zach; Kevin Yorn (who reportedly is series creator/writer/director Hwang Dong Hyuk's lawyer!) played, well, Kevin; and a 'Bryan Bucco' played Zach. Thing is, Squid Game auteur Hwang Dong Hyuk absolutely knows what he's doing — his directing of Season 1 won an Emmy, while his writing earned a nomination. So, why are the VIP scenes so very, very bad? They're not cartoonish in a fun way, nor do they effectively serve as social satire. The VIP scenes could have been additive to the series, if, imagine, a Stellan Skarsgård type growled a wry observation during Sky Squid Game. Or if the actors/lawyer at hand were not done so dirty by the dialogue and editing. But apparently zero lessons were learned, or cared to be learned, from Season 1. Which is… a choice? How'd Squid Game End? Our Recap of the Unusual Season-Finale Showdown View List The matter of the painfully bad VIP scenes came up at the time of Season 1's release, and the actors from that troupe offered up theories on why the dialogue and line readings made our ears want to crawl up and die. 'Non-Korean performers often act with dialogue that is translated by a non-native – sometimes even by Google Translate — so it can sound unnatural,' one Season 1 VIP told the Guardian in fall 2021. It's also possible that the person editing the footage doesn't speak English as a first language, and thus might use a poor take. 'If I was editing a Russian actor speaking Russian, I wouldn't have any idea if he was saying his lines correctly,' said the Season 1 VIP above, 'or if his intonation was natural.' A second Season 1 VIP told the Guardian that 'heavy plaster masks' plus 'sitting 20 feet away from each other' added up to: 'We all had to yell our lines vaguely into the air, which added to the weird tonality of the delivery.' To recap, the VIP scenes: Were poorly written, and poorly acted (or edited) Reliably killed tension Were not dramatic in and of themselves (e.g. the inclusion of the baby could have been a point of debate… but wasn't) Told us nothing we could not have presumed about the game's backers (e.g. they're deplorable, shallow), and Arguably made the Front Man less menacing, the way he quietly did these idiots' bidding So… why did we get them again, at the same quality level, in Season 3?

‘Cobra Kai' Creators Wanted Hilary Swank To Return For Final Season, Tease Idea They 'Can Revisit' In Franchise

As legends of the Karate Kid universe were reprised for streaming and the big screen, one former Mr. Miyagi protégé hasn't been seen in more than 30 years. Josh Heald, who co-created Netflix's Cobra Kai with Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, revealed that they attempted to get Hilary Swank to reprise her The Next Karate Kid (1994) role as Julie Pierce in the recent sixth and final season. More from Deadline Hilary Swank Stays Mum On Possible 'Cobra Kai' Appearance; Reveals Why She Returned To TV For' Alaska Daily' —TCA 'Karate Kid: Legends' Will Provide Kick To Summer Box Office But Won't KO 'Lilo & Stitch's $60M Second Weekend – Preview Martin Kove Accused Of Sexual Harassment In 2024 On 'Cobra Kai' Set; Sony Investigated, Actor Says "It Wasn't True Then & It Isn't True Now" 'We did reach out in the very early days before the season to see if there was a path [for her to appear],' he told Entertainment Weekly. 'We had an inkling of an idea about how she could come into this story and not have to commit to 10 episodes or something. The trio reached out to Swank's team with 'the beginnings of a genesis of an idea' about how Julie could return to the onscreen universe, hoping to 'have a discussion with her about it and introduce ourselves.' 'On her end, it was very respectful, but we never got that opportunity to sit down and pour our heart out the way that we typically do when we bring back characters from the legacy,' said Heald. The 2x Oscar-winning actress 'was just in a place where she wasn't looking to do that,' said Heald, adding that she gave them 'a respectful pass on the idea of even a meeting.' 'She didn't want us to go through the trouble of flying out to her and putting our heart on the sleeve,' he explained. 'Because it just wasn't something she was ready to do at that moment.' Heald sees the character as 'a big piece of the Miyagi-verse that's still out there' following this year's Karate Kid: Legends, which brought back Ralph Macchio as Daniel LaRusso, Jackie Chan's Mr. Han and William Zabka's Johnny Lawrence. 'For us, it was a little disappointing because we like getting everybody, but at the same time, we didn't sacrifice any huge story that we had fully developed,' added Heald. 'It's more fruit on the vine for if we can revisit this universe going forward.'
