'Dexter,' starring Michael.C. Hall as the titular character and Jennifer Carpenter as his adoptive sister, officially concluded in 2013, but has kept their millions of passionate fans fed with multiple spin-off series.

Carnival Cruise Line Shuts Down Backlash Over Rules on Music and Curfews
Carnival Cruise Line Shuts Down Backlash Over Rules on Music and Curfews originally appeared on Parade. Carnival Cruise Line is addressing backlash over recent onboard safety guidelines that some online critics have argued disproportionately impact Black passengers. In recent weeks, passengers have shared formal notices from Carnival outlining what the company describes as a renewed commitment to onboard safety and 'respectful behavior.' 📌New Rules on Carnival Cruises targeting Loud Music, People, Hazardous Fans, Children on the Loose and More😅 @KABBFOX29 @News4SA — Darian Trotter-Thomas (@DarianTrotter) June 7, 2025 The rules cover curfews for minors, marijuana restrictions, and bans on Bluetooth speakers and handheld fans. Minors under 18 must now be out of public areas by 1 a.m. unless accompanied by an adult in their party or participating in a supervised teen program. Handheld fans — particularly the non-battery kind often used in viral dance trends — are also prohibited due to the loud 'clack' sound, which Carnival says could cause injuries in crowded areas. In a statement, the company emphasized that the rules are intended to promote a more peaceful environment, not to signal any form of cultural erasure. In fact, many of these policies have been in place for years — as explained in a Feb. 2023 video outlining what's appropriate while onboard their ships. "Unfortunately, certain media outlets have blown this matter out proportion," Matt Lupoli, Senior Manager of Public Relations at Carnival Cruise Line, told Parade. "We have always had a wide variety of entertainment options and for the last several years we have communicated our expectations about guest behavior,' he added. Still, some passengers remain skeptical. As reported by The Root, several Black cruisers say they've noticed the quiet disappearance of hip-hop and rap music on board. DJs, they claim, have declined requests and stuck to more sanitized playlists. For the record: Carnival has not confirmed any official ban on music genres. In a statement to the Daily Dot, a spokesperson said their DJs "play a wide variety of music, including hip-hop.' As of June 2025, these are the new rules Carnival Cruise has implemented. — The Daily Sneed™ (@Tr00peRR) July 4, 2025 The backlash has been especially sharp on social media, where frustrated passengers — some of whom have canceled future trips — have weighed in. 'When people book Carnival, they know what they're booking,' said TikTok user @Kiarajaxn, who recently canceled a cruise she and her friends had planned to celebrate a 30th birthday. 'They know they are booking a 'turn up' cruise. Period. Everybody on there is looking to have a good time, party, and have fun.' 'Black women are mad, saying Carnival Cruises no longer want them on their boats, banning black music,' one tweet read, highlighting reactions on TikTok. 'Carnival Cruise you got it down bad,' added TikTok user @Msvanillascar. 'I don't know how your ticket sales are gonna be since you [changed] the rules and regulations because you don't like how certain people like to turn up. You got it down bad.' 'Carnival cruise said we aint playing no more rap music,' another commenter wrote on X. 'Tired of black folk is what they are saying.' Not everyone is upset, however. Some commenters have defended the changes. "It's not a crackdown on a color its a crackdown on people's behavior," one person shared, according to The Root. 'What's racist about asking ppl to act right?' another wrote. Ultimately, the fallout may depend not just on the guidelines themselves, but on how consistently Carnival enforces them. For now, Bluetooth speakers are banned, fans are silenced, and curfews are in full effect. Carnival Cruise Line Shuts Down Backlash Over Rules on Music and Curfews first appeared on Parade on Jul 5, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 5, 2025, where it first appeared.

Pixar fires back at fans, critics on social media after ‘Elio' flops
Pixar is clearly frustrated by the dismal box office performance of its latest feature ' Elio,' and is starting to hit back at its critics on social media. The Emeryville-based animation studio, owned by Disney, recently posted a video to Instagram that follows a new internet trend where people share hard truths off-screen and then pretend they don't know where the source of the statement is. In this case, an unidentified woman sitting in a car is looking off screen when she says, 'Stop complaining that Disney doesn't make original stories if you don't show up to movie theaters and support them in the first place.' After a sound effect 'alerts' the woman that she is being filmed, she looks at the camera and says, 'Oh, my gosh, I thought I was the only one in my car!' She then holds up a poster for ' Elio ' and says, 'Anyways, there's a new original story from Disney Pixar ... called 'Elio,' you should go and support it.' 'Elio' opened in theaters on June 20, and so far is the worst performing Pixar movie in its history despite strong reviews, including by the Chronicle. As of Monday, June 30, the film holds an 83% approval rating by critics and 91% from audiences on review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes. But that hasn't translated to ticket sales. After two weekends in theaters, the $150 million film about a lonely boy who becomes a galactic ambassador for Earth has grossed about $42 million domestically and $72 million globally. At issue is criticism leveled at the animation giant that it makes too many sequels and not enough movies based on new stories. Last year's ' Inside Out 2 ' took in $1.7 billion at the global box office and briefly became the highest-grossing animated film of all time. Next year's slate includes ' Toy Story 5,' with ' Incredibles 3 ' also in the works. But original films have struggled since ' Onward ' was released in theaters in 2020 on the cusp of the pandemic. ' Soul ' (late 2020), ' Luca ' (2021) and ' Turning Red ' (2022) all went straight to streaming on Disney+, while ' Lightyear ' (2022), an offshoot of the 'Toy Story' series, underperformed in theaters. ' Elemental ' (2023), an original film, also had a weak box office opening but hung around in theaters and eventually became a sleeper hit. With this new social media post, Pixar is hoping that 'Elio' can do the same.

‘I wasn't going to show the violence': S.F.-raised Eva Victor on ‘Sorry, Baby'
Eva Victor was back in their hometown, the final stop on a press tour for their critically lauded debut feature, and they were ready to party. But first, Victor, who uses they/she pronouns, demanded perfect attendance during a Q&A on Tuesday, July 1, after a crowded screening at the Alamo Drafthouse New Mission theater of ' Sorry, Baby,' which Victor wrote, directed and stars in. 'Good night!' Victor said to laughter as a couple was walking out just as the discussion got started. 'If you leave, I will call you out, it will be horrible for you. Don't leave!' Victor, best known for a recurring role in the Showtime series ' Billions,' is trained as a comedian; they have performed at SF Sketchfest when they were with the satirical website Reductress and was very entertaining as they discussed 'Sorry, Baby.' But while the movie has sharply funny moments, it is a serious and unique drama about Agnes (Victor), a woman processing a sexual assault — called 'the bad thing' — and her life-saving friendship with Lydie (Naomi Ackie of ' Blink Twice ' and ' Mickey 17 '). While Victor insists the film, which counts Barry Jenkins (' Moonlight ') as a producer, is 'narrative fiction,' it is based on an incident they experienced and admitted to the audience, 'I made this film about a time and experience when I felt very unheard, and it means the world for you to be here and listen to what I have to say.' Hours earlier, during a Chronicle interview at the 1 Hotel, Victor said, 'I really wanted to write a film about trying to heal. … It was a real joy to fictionalize an emotional truth in my life.' Victor was born in Paris, but their family moved to San Francisco when they were 2. They went to the International School from kindergarten through 12th grade before going to theater school at Northwestern University. This conversation has been edited for length and clarity. A: When I was a kid, we lived in the Marina, and my favorite place to go was on a walk to Crissy Field, go to the Warming Hut, get a cup of cocoa. That's a nice spot. Q: Did you enjoy school? A: It broke my brain, and I still don't know if I've recovered. The best part of it was my junior year of high school. I started doing theater, and that was amazing because (Berkeley-based actor) Michelle Haner was my teacher, and I was in 'Spring Awakening,' the musical, and my director was Brad Korman. They were both incredibly supportive teachers and treated me like an adult and took me seriously. And that made me want to go to theater school as a college student. So I'm very grateful for them. Q: How in touch are you with your French heritage? A: I would love to get French citizenship. Once I got a job on a TV show, I got to have a little more money so I could go to France. I feel very, very connected to Paris. It was very fun to go to the Cannes Film Festival (in May). I think it's beautiful, and I would love to spend more time there. Q: Your previous directorial experience consists mainly of comic videos you made on social media. How did you come to direct 'Sorry, Baby'? A: It was definitely intimidating. I didn't want something to get lost in me taking on too much. I wrote this really privately, just in a house by myself with my cat, and I was desperate for someone to read it, like I didn't want to be alone with it. I really wanted to act in the role, and I thought, 'Well, we can hire someone to direct it.' Then I went to think about it for a month or so and quickly realized I desperately wanted to direct it. I just needed to figure out how. So I spent a couple of years preparing to direct in various ways. I knew how I wanted it to look and feel. I just needed to learn how to communicate that to heads of department, who will then ideally challenge you on your vision. The nice thing about directing the film is you spend a lot of time building the film with other people, and then you shoot it and direct it. It's like this really long journey of creation together. Q: A key casting choice was who would play Lydie. How did you find Naomi? A: We met, and she was just such a warm ray of light. I'd seen ' Lady Macbeth ' (2016) and the Whitney Houston movie (2022's ' Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody '). I was so overwhelmed by how goofy she was. The universe sent her to me, and on set, it just clicked. Q: You chose not to show 'the bad thing' but instead show her walking into the place where it happened, then later walking out. Why? A: I always knew I wasn't going to show the violence. It was for a person like I was who couldn't sit through a film like that; it would turn my body into shock mode, and I didn't want to put anyone through that. Her body goes in, but I don't think her spirit does. I think this might be more of a memory of what that experience was like. It's frozen and disconnected. So it's kind of out of body.
