‘Weapons' Second Trailer: Josh Brolin Wants To Know What Happened To Those Missing Kids
Talk about taboo. Zach Cregger's second horror movie, Weapons, goes right for the jugular tapping into the sheer human fear of missing children. The second trailer shows more of that school board meeting where Josh Brolin's Dad character demands, 'I wanna know what happened in that classroom!' — questioning why 17 kids are missing from that specific classroom at this Americana school.
'Why just her classroom!' Brolin's character shouts. Julia Garner's principal — well, she's all thumbs.

Arnold Schwarzenegger On How A Vision Guides Power Of Positive Thinking
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 11: Arnold Schwarzenegger attends Netflix's "FUBAR" Season 2 Los ... More Angeles Premiere at Netflix Tudum Theater on June 11, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by) Arnold Schwarzenegger is back — remember, he always delivers on that promise — in Netflix's FUBAR Season 2, the latest of several grand visions the pop culture icon has accomplished since he arrived in the U.S. as an Austrian immigrant in 1968. Netflix previously chronicled Schwarzenegger's rise from poverty in his home country to his mega-successful professional and personal accomplishments in the U.S. in the 2023 documentary Arnold. The documentary is presented in three parts: Athlete, Actor and American. The Athlete part, of course, is Schwarzenegger's trek to the top of the bodybuilding world as seven-time Mr. Olympia champion and four-time Mr. Universe champion. Conquering the bodybuilding world led to Schwarzenegger's triumphs in showbiz, where in Actor the documentary chronicles his work in such films as the Terminator series, Predator, The Running Man, True Lies, Twins, Kindergarten Cop and dozens of others. The third part, American, delves into how Schwarzenegger dedicated his time to civic duties, culminating with his service as governor of California from 2003 to 2011. As if Arnold was already motivating enough for viewers, Schwarzenegger — who joined the Forbes Billionaires list in 2024 — released his second book, Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life (Penguin Books), where he shares the keys to his success. Chief among those keys, if not the first key, is Schwarzenegger's mantra of having a clear vision. In a recent Zoom conversation about his work on FUBAR Season 2, Schwarzenegger shared how vital the power of positive thinking is, but you must always be guided by a vision. 'You have to first begin with the vision because if you have a vision and you go chase the vision, it is very hard to be negative. It is easier to be positive because every step that you do, you are making this vision become a reality and I think that's fun,' Schwarzenegger said. 'You have a great time with that.' HOLLYWOOD, FLORIDA - APRIL 04: Arnold Schwarzenegger speaks during the 10X Growth Conference 2024 at ... More The Diplomat Beach Resort on April 04, 2024 in Hollywood, Florida. (Photo by) Establishing A Vision Will Help One Build Their Positive Thinking, Arnold Schwarzenegger Says Lacking a vision can be rough on a person's psyche, Arnold Schwarzenegger said, so creating a vision of what you want to be will go a long way to building the vital element of positivity. 'When people are lost and people don't have a vision, then they get depressed — then they don't know where to go and they wander around,' Schwarzenegger said. 'Those people cannot go and say, 'Let me start thinking positive' because it doesn't exist. You can't just go and say, 'I want to be positive now.' It doesn't work that way. 'You first have to have a reason to have a positive thought,' added Schwarzenegger, the proud father of The White Lotus Season 3 star Patrick Schwarzenegger. "And for me, that's the reason behind every step that I make. It is always to accomplish a goal and turn a vision into a reality." Best of all, Arnold Schwarzenegger, 77, is having the time of his life in pursuing new goals 24/7. 'That's what makes it fun," Schwarzenegger enthused. "That's what makes it challenging and that's why I always look forward to the next hour to the next day.' Created by Nick Santora, FUBAR Season 2, which stars Arnold Schwazenegger, Carrie-Anne Moss, Monica Barbaro, Fortune Feimster, Milan Carter and Travis Van Winkle, is new on Netflix.

Margaret Cho Says Ellen DeGeneres Was ‘Really Weird and Not Nice' to Her
Margaret Cho described her strained relationship with Ellen DeGeneres during an appearance on a new episode of The Kelly Mantle Show. The comedian said DeGeneres always treated her like a stranger when she came on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, despite the fact that they had been around each other for years. 'Ellen was really weird and not nice to me for most of my career,' Cho said on the show. 'I opened for her in the 1980s, when she was a headliner in comedy clubs. Later, when I would do her talk show in the 2000s, she would act like we just met.' More from Rolling Stone 'Weird Al' Yankovic, Margaret Cho, Bob the Drag Queen Lead 'Let's Get Wildfire Benefit Concert 'The Ellen Show' Staffers Say Ellen DeGeneres' New Netflix Special 'Missed the Mark' Ellen DeGeneres Jokes About Swapping 'Be Kind' Catchphrase for 'Go F-k Yourselves' in New Stand-Up Trailer She added, 'And I'm like, 'Bitch, what?' That's weird. We go way back. It's so creepy and weird.' Cho recalled a specific incident that stuck out to her as especially odd. David Bowie appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show the day after one of his concerts, at which Cho dressed up in an elaborate 'Chinese emperor outfit.' Bowie complimented the costume to DeGeneres, but the remark was edited out of the final broadcast. 'The producer, who's a really good friend of mine, had to call me and tell me, 'I can't believe she did this, but she cut it out of the show,'' Cho explained. ''But you need to know that he was going on and on about your outfit. God said your name. He loves you.'' She admitted she wasn't sure if it was actually a vindictive move, but added, 'Still, I'm going to take it personally.' DeGeneres' image took a hit in 2020 following a series of reports by BuzzFeed News in which employees at her show alleged racism, sexual misconduct, and intimidation at the hands of executive producers. Three producers were fired because of it, and DeGeneres issued an on-air apology. In 2022, singer Greyson Chance, whom DeGeneres signed to her label, told Rolling Stone he had 'never met someone more manipulative, more self-centered, and more blatantly opportunistic.' The Ellen DeGeneres Show ultimately ended in 2022 after 19 seasons. The host has since addressed the controversy on tour and in a stand-up special, Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval, which aired on Netflix. 'The Be Kind Girl wasn't kind — that was the headline,' DeGeneres said in the special. 'Here's the problem, I'm a comedian who got a talk show, and I ended the show every day by saying, 'Be kind to one another.' Had I ended my show by saying, 'Go fuck yourselves,' people would've been pleasantly surprised to find out I'm kind.'
