No, a Tank Top Is Not Just a Tank Top
The humble white tank top is a classic layering garment—one of those staple pieces in your wardrobe that are constantly in the summer rotation. You can throw it on under a denim jacket or button-up shirt without virtually any thought. But that doesn't have to mean it's boring! Sure, it may not be as flashy as the latest It bag or a trendy scarf skirt, but if the 2025 spring runways are proof, a tank top can be more than just an undershirt. In fact, with the right styling and finishings (sequins! Prints!), it can even be an unexpected statement piece this season.
Take all of the flashy tanks that popped up on the recent spring catwalks. At Rabanne, classic tank top silhouettes were covered in silvery chainmail—a signature material of the label. At Tory Burch, an equally-blingy approach was taken: The designer covered them in sparkly red or blue sequins. Instead of the customary white or black cotton, designers are rethinking the piece and making the case for it as more of an eye-catching focal point. Basic? More like the better 'B' word: Bold.

Celebrities and the street style set are on board with the summer approach. Back in February, remember when Timothée Chalamet hit the Berlin Film Festival in a pink Chrome Hearts tank top? He proved that with a fun color and designer logo plastered onto it, a tank can, in fact, be red carpet worthy. Ditto for South Korean model Hyun Ji Shin, who hit Fashion Month in a fringed tank top and wide-leg trousers—the street style photographers instantly went wild for the textured top.

"Every Guy With a Tragic Backstory" Comedy Sketch Skewers the Saddest Action Hero Cliché — GeekTyrant
We've all seen him, the stoic loner with haunted eyes, who only speaks in vague, gravel-voiced riddles about "what happened that day." He's ex-special forces, or maybe just a guy with a mysterious past, but either way, someone definitely died and now he's here to brood, punch walls, and save the world (maybe). A new comedy sketch perfectly roasts this tired movie trope, piling on every tragic backstory imaginable… Dead wife? Check. Lost child? Of course. A dark secret involving the President? Weirdly, yes. The sketch hilariously leans into the melodrama, reminding us how absurdly common it is for every action hero to be emotionally wrecked and justice-bound. It's a perfect reminder that sometimes, the only thing more predictable than the villain… is the hero's trauma.

Warner Bros. Gives Up on ‘Akira' Remake, But Hollywood Won't
Well, it's happened. After 20 years of shuffling creative teams and development hell, Warner Bros. finally called it and won't remake Akira. But things aren't ending there, according to the Hollywood Reporter. WB's simply let go of the movie rights it acquired back in 2002. They've now returned to the manga's publisher, Kodansha; according to THR, several producers and talents are already 'lining up' for the chance to adapt it. No specific people were listed, ditto studios or streamers, but you can imagine all the big ones want it. WB's been threatening to do an Akira remake directed or written by either Stephen Norrington, Garry Whitta, Jaume Collet-Serra, or others. One of the more recent names thrown out there was Taika Waititi to direct and co-write in 2017, and it was even meant to release in May 2021. But after Waititi was locked in for Thor: Love & Thunder and other projects, the remake got pulled from the release schedule. Since then, there's been no word on it. Like Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Saw before it, Akira now has a chance at a real future on the big screen. The question now is, who'll be the one to bring it to the masses, and how will that film change the source for a new audience that probably only knows it because of the endlessly replicated slide? While waiting to see how that shakes out, there's the in-development Akira anime series from Gundam studio Sunrise, assuming that ever leaves development hell. Want more io9 news?
