I have some friends who are in some serious Scrabble grudge matches that might just end their friendships with certain people.
And now I’m going to interject myself into the equation! How? Because here are 20 little-known words that you can use in your next Scrabble game that will blow your opponent’s mind and maybe put you over the top for a win!
And the results are impressive, if not a bit… nefarious? 150M people have now downloaded and used the app since it launched, but do they really know what they signed up for? Because FaceApp’s terms of service look like this…

So yeah, just be careful.
Now on to the celebrities! I’m actually not going to name them, and some of them might be easy to spot at first. But we’ll see! Btw, the answers will be at the very bottom.
I think ordering an adorable Disney princess cake and walking away with a cake immortalizing one’s love for drugs is quite a doozy. Don’t you?
I mean, this is more than thinking you can re-create Bikini Bottom like the professional who posted the design on Facebook and ending up with a blue-green lump wearing a starfish bra, right?
Not that I’ve seen that happen. At all. Ahem.
Luckily, the daughter in question was celebrating her 25th birthday and not her 5th, which makes the situation more hilarious than tragic.
Kensli Davis requested a Moana cake from an Atlanta bakery, and her mother complied, since one of the most important parts of planning and hosting a birthday party is to have the perfect cake for the guest of honor.
When she went to pick it up, though, she opened the lid to find a cake decorated with a marijuana leaf and a totally stoned My Little Pony.
Can we just pause for a moment to appreciate the artistry behind this My Little Pony, though? I mean. It’s green, it’s emitting a puff of smoke, and it comes complete with bloodshot eyes.
Kensli posted a photograph to Facebook she thought it was so funny.
I haven’t had a chance to tell y’all about our experience this weekend with my birthday cake. So my mama called and…
“So my mama called and ordered me a cake telling them how much I loved Moana. (Because I really do). Well, needless to say these people thought she said marijuana.”
Other people have also been quick to see the humor in the situation; her post has gathered 12,000 reactions and 13,000 shares – most of which are the uber-appropriate “crying laughing” emoji.
And, like many stories involving cake and marijuana, this one has a happy ending.
If you weren’t around for in 1986, it’s kind of hard to describe how popular Top Gun was, but trust me, it was HUGE. My older brother even entertained the idea of becoming a fighter pilot for about four days.
Like I said, it was HUGE.
Well, we’re all in luck again! Top Gun: Maverick is set to hit the big screen next summer and original stars Tom Cruise (Maverick) and Val Kilmer (Iceman) are reprising their roles. Joining them will be Jon Hamm, Jennifer Connelly, Miles Teller (who plays Goose’s son from the 1986 film), and Ed Harris. The original Top Gun was directed by the late Tony Scott, and this time around, Joseph Kosinski (Tron: Legacy) is at the helm.
Concerning the action in the new film, Jon Hamm said, “We’re shooting the movie in, I think, 6K. So it’s incredibly hi-def. The aerial footage is mind-blowing. And it’s mostly practical. There’s not a lot of CG. Those guys are really up in planes and getting thrown around in multiple Gs.”
We don’t know a whole lot about the plot yet, but from the preview, it looks like it will be fully locked and loaded with action.
Top Gun: Maverick hits theaters on June 26, 2020. Check out the trailer below.
I don’t know about you, but I am excited about this one! Let’s hope that we get another love scene set to “Take My Breath Away.”
We’ve all cried at a movie at one point or another. My personal experiences usually have to do with animals in sad movie scenes. People…not so much.
A Reddit user asked, “Which movie scene brought you to tears?” and here are the moving responses.
Here come the waterworks.
1. Coco
“”The ending of Coco, when Mama Coco recognizes the song that Miguel is singing despite her dementia because her father used to play it when she was a kid. Wow okay, I’m getting emotional just thinking about it.””
2. Gladiator
“The whole last five minutes of Gladiator: “I will see you again my friend, but not yet… not yet.”
3. 12 Years a Slave
“12 Years A Slave, seeing his grown children after he escapes back to the north. Seeing his granddaughter brought me to tears like a blubbering idiot.”
4. Guardians of the Galaxy 2
“I don’t do crying, especially movies. They’re not real people. But when the Ravagers showed up for Yondu’s funeral, someone was cutting a helluva lot of onions in the theatre…”
5. The Truman Show
“Final scene in The Truman Show where he turns to the camera and says, ‘In case I don’t see ya! Good afternoon, good evening and goodnight.’”
6. Good Will Hunting
“I feel like this movie has lost its hype but re-watching it last week and seeing Robin Williams breaking Matt Damon down into tears is just such a powerful scene. 10/10 movie would and will watch again.”
7. Up
“My grandmother had just passed away after an emotional week of ups and downs in the hospital. My wife and I decided to go to the movies just to take our minds off from recent events. Up was the movie we went to see. Other than the not having kids part, it was like watching my grandparents on screen. I doubt there will ever be a scene in a movie that will hit me harder than that.”
8. The Green Mile
“The execution scene from The Green Mile, Michael Duncan Clarke was the first actor that ever made me cry.”
9. 50/50
“50/50 going into surgery. This movie is so looked-over, but it’s honestly probably the best performances of Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen.”
10. Schindler’s List
“At the end of Schindler’s List, when he’s looking at his few possessions left, and thinks of how many more people he could have saved if he sold the car, or whatever.”
11. Toy Story 3
“Toy Story 3 when the gang accepts their presumed fate in the incinerator and all reach out for one another, the worst being when Woody finally gives in and takes Buzz’s hand. I always thought this part hit harder than Andy leaving after giving the toys to Bonnie, that always felt more bittersweet than anything.”
12. Interstellar
“Interstellar when he watches the videos of his kids aging 25 years in front of his eyes.”
13. The Land Before Time
“In the movie The Land Before Time….. When Little Foot’s mom dies….made me cry as a kid when It first came out in 1988…makes me cry now.”
14. Inside Out
“I watched that when I was 38 years old, and I cried like a little girl with a skinned knee. Like straight up ugly-face, snot-bubble, breath-hitching sobbed.
The lady I was seeing at the time not only didn’t cry, but didn’t understand why I did. I’m not saying that’s the reason we’re not together, but I’m not denying that it was a factor.”
15. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
“The beach running scene from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. After what that movie put me through, I just lost it then.”
16. Ghost
“At the end of Ghost, as I was wiping away tears, I saw my-brother-in-law hand my husband a dollar bill. ‘Told you she would be in tears by the end.’”
17. The Pursuit of Happyness
“The ending of The Pursuit of Happyness got me. When he got the job, I had held it together up until then but I just let it out. It just resonated so much with me because my parents really struggled as immigrants and worked very hard to give my siblings and me a better life. Great movie.”
18. Pan’s Labyrinth
“The ending of Pan’s Labyrinth made me ugly cry for about an hour. Then I was irrationally angry at Guillermo del Toro for years after. He wrote and directed it and it destroyed me. Damn it, I’m starting to cry just thinking about it.”
19. Titanic
“That scene in Titanic where the old couple is lying on their bed holding each other, they’ve lived a long life and have accepted that it’s now the end. Idk it gets me every time.”
20. My Girl
“The funeral scene from My Girl. Doesnt matter what part of the movie I walk in on, it’ll always make me start bawling.”
What movie scene makes you cry? Share in the comments below!
I unapologetically love horror movies. All of ’em. I love cheesy ones from the ’80s, I love masterpieces like The Shining, I love foreign ones, I love ones that fly under the radar.
Here are 20 that you should check out ASAP, complete with comments from the Buzzfeed Community. Try not to get too creeped out watching these trailers…
1. Zombie (1979)
“This is a different kind of zombie movie that is not only crazy awesome with the effects, but gives you a chuckle every once in a while with how outlandish some of the dialogue is. It is truly a must-see for all of my zombiephiles out there.”
2. Sleepaway Camp (1983)
“This movie disturbed me on so many levels. The subject matter covered and some of the imagery they got away with 36 years ago is shocking by today’s standards.”
3. Hell House, LLC. (2015)
“This movie truly made me piss-in-my-pants level scared for the first time EVER. It’s a found-footage horror film about a small group of friends who find older houses/locations to host incredibly scary haunted houses in around the country. It has a really good mix of jump scares and suspense and kept me lying awake in bed for hours after watching it.”
4. The Taking of Deborah Logan (2014)
“It has a really good story that actually takes the time to develop while maintaining all the best elements of horror. I’ve seen it several times and people I have suggested it to agree with me.”
5. In the Mouth of Madness (1994)
“Truly the most underrated of John Carpenter’s films. This one completely freaked me and my husband out. I don’t want to give TOO much away, but let’s just say that it definitely does NOT have a feel-good ending.”
6. Dead Alive (1992)
“This is just a classic in the camp/gore genre. We can’t be friends unless you’ve at least given it a chance!”
Also, Peter Jackson of The Lords of the Rings fame directed this splatterfest.
7. Resolution (2012)
“This one does Cabin in the Woods better than Cabin in the Woods. It has a lot of fun with the horror genre without ever going over-the-top. It’s a great film in general and I often tell people it’s the best horror movie post-2000.”
8. Macabre (2009)
“If you haven’t seen this Indonesian horror/thriller, then you need to jump on Amazon and buy it ASAP. What starts off as a simple “finding a stranger in distress while driving” story quickly leads to the most excellent game of cat-and-mouse I’ve seen on-screen in a very long time.”
9. Found (2012)
“A 12-year-old boy finds out his horror-film obsessed teenage brother has a human head in his closet. I don’t want to spoil anything past that, but it is disturbing and unexpected from beginning to end.”
10. High Tension (2003)
“I’ve never been more disturbed in the first 15 minutes of a movie than when I first watched this one. It’s highly suspenseful and incredibly violent. A well done movie, but I don’t think I’ll ever be able to watch it again.”
11. Mirrors (2008)
“I worked myself up to a near heart attack each time I got in the shower for at least a week (probably two) after seeing this movie. Seriously, the first time I showered after I saw this, I was so freaked out that I actually whimpered when I thought I saw something move from the corner of my eye. I was 25 at the time.”
12. Under the Skin (2013)
“This is an unsettling, beautifully-shot film starring Scarlett Johansson, in what I personally think is her best role to date. It’s about an alien seductress…and I’ll leave it at that. DO NOT look up spoilers or trailers, just watch it — if you can make it through to the end.”
13. Ghost Story (1981)
“I think this one’s underrated just because it’s largely been forgotten. Spoilers, but there’s a scene where they try to cover up the woman’s accidental death by pushing her car into the water, but she starts moving at the last minute before the car goes under and they realize they’ve murdered her…I saw that scene when I was a young kid and it burned into my memory. That was more disturbing to me than any jump scare.”
14. The Houses October Built (2014)
“It’s about this group of people making a documentary to find the most intense haunted house. It’s a little slow to start but, once stuff starts happening, it hits the fan full-force. For a while I forgot I was even watching a horror movie until it kicked in, and I think that made it even better because it catches you unaware.”
15. Creep (2014)
“This movie kept getting recommended to me on Netflix forever before I finally gave in and watched it. At just over an hour long, it’s so simple and only has two actors. It has a great sense of timing, making things really suspenseful. It was the first movie in a while that made me want to sleep with the lights on.”
16. Thirst (2009)
“It’s an absolutely amazing Korean horror film by the same director who made Oldboy about a priest-turned-vampire and his love interest. It’s so visually stunning and has a great plot.”
17. The Changeling (1980)
“My mom and I used to watch horror movies together all the time when I was a kid, and this one has stuck with me the most. It doesn’t rely on gratuitous gore. If you haven’t seen it yet, you need to!”
18. Stir of Echoes (1999)
“This was filmed in Chicago and I lived a block down from the house. I would absolutely dread passing it!”
19. Paperhouse (1988)
“It’s about a little girl who has nightmares about a house that she draws. Reality and fantasy begin mixing together, and her alcoholic dad is also a part of it. It’s spooky and weird and was made by the same director as the classic Candyman!”
20. The Forest (2016)
“I’ve seen many horror movies and this is probably one of the best I’ve seen so far. It’s generally terrifying, and it messes with your head.”
When the Sabotage video hit the airwaves, it was a game-changer. Suddenly, the Beasties were back on top and firmly in the public consciousness like they hadn’t been in years.
The Sabotage video was directed by Spike Jonze and was a throwback to 1970s-style cop TV shows such as Starsky and Hutch and Baretta. It was a brilliant idea and executed perfectly. To be honest, music videos had become a little boring by the time the Sabotage video came out in 1994, and the Beastie Boys injected some fun and humor back into MTV, which seemed to be all doom and gloom with the explosion of grunge. Here’s a refresher.
I think people can argue that the Sabotage video set the stage for such later classic videos as Weezer’s Buddy Holly.
The Sesame street video was made byMylo the Cat (aka Adam Schleichkorn) using footage from the 1985 Sesame Street film Follow That Bird. He’s previously gained fame for video mashups such as Barney the Dinosaur doing The Notorious B.I.G’s Get Money.
Is it silly? Yes. Is it goofy? Absolutely.
The mashup works well for these videos because, like the original video, there’s a lot of running around and people getting chased, this time it just happens to be Big Bird.
I think this is one of the better mashup videos I’ve ever seen, to be honest. Here’s the entire video for you to enjoy.
The third season of Stranger Things is already a massive hit and almost everyone on the planet has binged watched the show. So now that you’ve seen it, you need some jokes to help you digest everything that happened in the new episodes!
There are some Season 3 spoilers below, so if you haven’t watched yet and you don’t want to ruin it, here’s your chance to turn back!
