MTV Divides Gen X Fans With Unexpected Announcement
MTV Divides Gen X Fans With Unexpected Announcement originally appeared on Parade. It's been a common refrain among Gen Xers (and elder Millennials) for years: "Remember when MTV used to play actual music?" Now it seems the iconic network is finally listening to the complaints of their earliest audiences — but not everybody is convinced. In a press release this week, it was announced that MTV will air a week of 24/7 music videos across MTV2, MTV Live and MTV Classic leading up to the 2025 Music Video Awards on Sunday, Sept. 7. According to the release, the selections will include "both classic and current" videos "in a revival of the brand's early DNA reimagined for today's audiences," curated by "past VMA winners and legendary MTV personalities." In the comments on an Instagram post sharing the news, some fans seemed thrilled to hear about the planned programming switch, while others remained skeptical. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kolten Lindsey (@ "MTV will make the greatest comeback if they went back to music videos," one person declared. "This should be ALL THE TIME," agreed a second commenter, adding, "The 90s were lit with music videos!!! That's how it should be! 'Music television' 🤦🏾♀️" "Or here's an idea…they could just do it permanently to get all that viewership back," somebody quipped, with another fan rejoicing, "Gen X is here for our first babysitter 😂" "But is it 80s and 90s? Because if it's current music, no gracias," declared a nostalgia-hungry music lover, as others offered their suggestions. "'Video Killed the Radio Star' should be the first again," one fan pointed out, referring to the first-ever music video played by MTV in 1981 (for a song by The Buggles). "Take On Me by A-ha ❤️," added another commenter, with still more people name-checking such classic MTV staples as "Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits, "Thriller" by Michael Jackson, "Touch of Grey" by the Grateful Dead and "Addicted to Love" by Robert Palmer, among others. Whether or not MTV's throwback experiment will be a hit with viewers remains to be seen, but hopes are high for this year's VMAs, which will see the return of producer and CEO of digital media company Gunpowder & Sky (linked to such iconic VMAs moments as Beyoncé's pregnancy reveal and the Madonna-Britney Spears-Christina Aguilera kiss). "We're not just producing a show. We're launching a celebration of music that spans one week, every screen and every generation," Gunpowder & Sky CEO Van Toffler said in the press release. The VMAs are scheduled to air live on Sunday, Sept. 7 at 8 p.m. ET on both CBS and MTV, and will be available to stream on Paramount+.MTV Divides Gen X Fans With Unexpected Announcement first appeared on Parade on Jun 27, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 27, 2025, where it first appeared.

This non-Galaxy camera king to get a helping hand by none other than Samsung
While smartphones have (more or less) plateaued in terms of design and while that "buzz" novelty feeling has been mostly gone for years now, smartphone cameras still provide that much-needed dopamine hit. Mobile cameras are great and they're getting even better. Today, I want to guide your attention to an upcoming potential camera king: the Oppo Find X9 series. It's getting assistance for its camera setup by none other than the competition, namely – course, in the Oppo Find X9 series (expected in September 2025), the bestest of the best will surely be Oppo Find X9 Ultra – the maxed-out it's the Oppo Find X9 Pro's turn to shine today: non-Ultra phones can punch real hard, too, as many of you know.I'm thrilled about the Oppo Find X9 Pro and what the famous Digital Chat Station is saying about it: Image source – Weibo In short, the upcoming Find X9 Pro could be the world's first phone to utilize the Samsung HP5 sensor. Avid PhoneArena readers might recall the Samsung HP5 sensor being mentioned in a January 2025 article – that's right, there were some rumors that the HP5 sensor might be incorporated into the then still unannounced Galaxy S25 Edge. Well, the super-thin Galaxy S25 Edge rendered those claims untrue some months later, when it materialized with a HP2 sensor inside. The Samsung HP5 is expected to be a 200 MP sensor, built on a 28nm node process, with 0.5μm pixel size, and an overall form factor size of 1/1.56-inch. Now, this is ever so slightly smaller than the 1/1.4-inch HP9 sensor, but the HP5 should be pretty amazing as Oppo is indeed utilizing the HP5 for the Find X9 Pro (for its telephoto camera, to be precise), it would represent a major upgrade for Find X7 Ultra owners. For reference, the Find X7 Ultra's zoom camera 1/2.51-inch sensor is way smaller than the HP5. Larger sensors can deliver improved light sensitivity and enhanced image detail, so you understand why this is big Find X9 Pro might come with a single telephoto snapper on its back – and Digital Chat Station says that while "the image quality of the 10X is still good", "the telephoto may not be as good as the dual periscope". Well, that's why we have an Ultra model in the family as well! Besides the megapixel count and the physical size, the HP5 sensor could arrive with a DCG-HDR technology on board, which should translate to a boosted, greater dynamic range and better low-light performance.

Saw XI Update: Horror Franchise Finds New Home, James Wan To Help Guide Its Future
After Saw XI was unceremoniously removed from Lionsgate's 2025 release date calendar, the rights to the horror franchise have found a new home. Saw XI was originally scheduled to arrive in United States theaters on September 26, 2025. Earlier this year, however, reports began to emerge about fights between the film's producers and Lionsgate. The film was taken off the 2025 release calendar this past March, with The Strangers: Chapter 2 taking its place. Per Variety, the rights to Saw have now been acquired by Blumhouse. This includes all future Saw movies, shows, and 'other properties.' 'The company paid an undisclosed amount for the part of the franchise currently owned by producers Oren Koules and Mark Burg,' Variety's article notes. 'In statements, Koules said it felt like 'the right time to pass the baton,' while Burg said he wanted to 'move on and tell new stories.'' Whether this means that Blumhouse will continue developing Saw XI in its current form (the movie had not started filming yet before losing its release date), start from scratch, or reboot the series entirely is not yet clear. Blumhouse CEO Jason Blum did say, however, that James Wan and Leigh Whannell will both be brought 'back in the fold' as they help determine Saw's future. The 2004 Saw movie was directed by Wan, while Whannell wrote the scripts for the first three films. 'Saw holds a special place in my heart,' Wan said in a statement. 'Coming back to this world with a fresh perspective is both thrilling and deeply personal. For me, this will mark a significant creative return to the 'Saw' franchise for the first time since the early days, and I'm very much looking forward to embracing the original spirit whilst pushing the legacy forward in bold, unexpected ways.'
