Man Runs A Mile In Death Valley Dressed As Darth Vader
A 52-year-old man recently ran a full mile dressed as Darth Vader in Death Valley. Ok, a mile is not that far. However, a mile in Death Valley sounds miserable. It was 128 degrees in Death Valley that day. Jon Rice runs a mile in Death Valley every year trying to challenge himself. He trains at his home in Santa Fe by jogging in his neighborhood and exercising in his 150-degree sauna. He’s been running through Death Valley since 1997, though he says its exhausting, but exhilarating and he doesn’t recommend anyone else try his particular form of exercise.

Researchers Are Looking Into Space Sex
Scientists are hurrying up to figure out what happens when humans engage in adulting time up in space. Now, my question is why has this never been researched before? Humans have been going to space for many, many, many years now… I imagine astronauts have had sexual relations in space… but maybe not. What do I know? Anyway, the concerns for the researchers are conception, blood flow and gravity… particularly how to keep people from floating away from each other. Scientists are rushing to research this because of the uptick in the space tourism industry boom.

5 Of The Most Visually Stunning Films
The Hollywood's writers and actors on strike will soon start affecting tv shows and even movies. With no signs of an end date any time soon, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) are concurrently striking for the first time in over 60 years. The writer’s strike began at the start of May, with the actors guild joining just last week.
Both unions share the same reasons for striking. This includes getting paid a living wage to meet basic needs, receiving higher residuals (financial compensation paid out to actors whenever TV shows or movies they’ve appeared in are replayed on streaming and syndication), and the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to be regulated to protect talent and writers’ jobs from being completely taken over. Some big-time actors have joined the picket lines, including Rachel McAdams, Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, Rosario Dawson, Hilary Duff, and more.
Films have been an inspiration in our lives, with some of the most impactful ones being the most visually stunning to watch. For a few hours, you are transported to a completely different world through the use of set design, camerawork, color palettes, and costumes. Storytelling is what can make or break an aesthetically pleasing film, but with all of these factors working in perfect harmony, we can see the directors’ visions come to life. See below our top five picks of the most visually stunning films to watch.
