A Minecraft Movie: Theater Takes Drastic Measure to Stop ‘Chicken Jockey' Trend
While has been running on the big screens for weeks now, it seems the 'Chicken Jockey' trend is continuing to cause trouble for cinema owners. With a big chunk of viewers still trashing establishments on the advent of a particular scene in A Minecraft Movie, one movie theater has decided to issue a lifetime ban on any audience member who indulges in such frantic behavior.
In response to a select group of viewers throwing popcorn and beverages in cinema halls during the screenings of the Jack Black-led movie due to the 'Chicken Jockey' mania, one of the theaters has threatened to put a permanent embargo on anyone who tries to recreate the infamous TikTok trend.
One Reddit user shared the ban warning on the social media platform. They also wrote, 'These signs were taped to the door of our movie theater for the Minecraft movie.'
The said post showcased timings for the film in the said theater alongside a disclaimer. It read, 'Notice to all guests attending A Minecraft Movie: The throwing of popcorn, candy, or any other items inside the auditorium or any area of the building is STRICTLY PROHIBITED. This behavior is disruptive, unsafe, and disrespectful to others. Anyone caught throwing items will be asked to leave immediately and will be banned from returning to the cinema indefinitely. We are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable movie experience for all guests. Thank you for your cooperation.'
A Minecraft Movie includes a sequence where a baby zombie accidentally falls on a chicken and starts riding it. This alludes to the 'Chicken Jockey' reference in Minecraft, which happens to be a rare occurrence in the video game.
Upon witnessing the scene in the film, many fans reacted exuberantly. Moreover, one viewer even brought a live chicken to his screening. The intensity of such fan responses even led to police intervention in some cases. Hence, this prompted certain theaters to issue a lifetime ban warning for anyone who misbehaves during A Minecraft Movie screenings.
In the meantime, the film continues to dominate the box office. It has already crossed the $700 million mark in global earnings.

Owner Worried About Taking Puppy to the Office—Not Prepared for How It Ends
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A woman preparing to bring her puppy into her dog-friendly work office was nervous about how he would act—only to quickly realize she had nothing to worry about. Grace, 24, lives in Manchester in the United Kingdom, and in January, she and her partner adopted a French bulldog-Shih Tzu mix puppy from a local rescue, who they named Arnold. "We knew we wanted a dog eventually, especially since our office is dog-friendly and we both work at the same company," Grace explained to Newsweek. But as many dog owners will agree, the puppy stage can be chaotic, with even the best-behaved young dog, and Grace and her partner weren't going to rush Arnold into the office. "We waited about a month before bringing him in for the first time, and I was so nervous," she admitted. "I thought he might be too excited, bark, or have an accident. We brought a whole bag of stuff, his bed, toys, puzzles, lick mats." But it turned out they had nothing to worry about, as Arnold "surprised us by settling in straight away." "Initially we put him on the desk so we could keep an eye on him and he was so tiny he fit perfectly. He napped on our desk, barely made a sound, and soaked up all the attention," she said, adding he "loves people so much." Arnold the puppy at home, and, right, standing on a desk in the office. Arnold the puppy at home, and, right, standing on a desk in the office. TikTok @ On May 3, Grace shared a video to her TikTok account @ showing just what Arnold's days in the office looked like, after she was "worried" about how he would "behave." The photo montage showed the pup splayed out on the desk having a nap in multiple different positions, looking as relaxed as anything beside the staff working beside him. He then moves to take a nap on an office chair, and another in his dedicated dog bed, covered with his toys, before moving back onto the desk to sleep surrounded by staff members. The final snap shows Arnold standing on a desk, appearing to keep a close eye on everything going on around him, as Grace wrote over the photo: "He's better in the office than at home!" Grace told Newsweek they work in the office three days a week, with Arnold joining them for two days and going to daycare for the third day, to help him get socialized with other dogs. When in the office, Arnold "just sleeps all day, so it's easy to work with him around," she said. Puppies generally sleep from between 18 to 20 hours a day when they are young. This helps the growth and development of their brain, immune system and muscles, as well as allowing them to rest as they experience growth spurts, according to the American Kennel Club (AKC).

TikTok @ Grace said: "He's got favourite people too, especially our office's housekeeper/cleaner. If she walks by without saying hi, he gets very upset. "We always say he's the perfect dog as he's super chilled and unbothered by pretty much everything. People adore him. He's become a bit of a comfort dog, if anyone's having a rough day, a cuddle with Arnold helps." TikTok users were obsessed with Arnold the office dog, with Grace's TikTok video racking up more than 338,000 views and 60,000 likes, as one commenter joked: "Pooch sleeps on conference table during important meeting = cute. I do it = fired!" Another asked: "Is your office hiring? I've no idea what you do but I want a job immediately," as one described Arnold as "employee of the month." And another insisted: "He needs a little tie and collar or something! Gotta get dressed for work!" There are some downsides to bringing Arnold to the office however, as Grace admitted: "It takes forever to get to our desks, because everyone wants to stop and give him a cuddle! "But having him with us is the best. He's great for our mental health and makes the workday so much more fun." Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?

Sony didn't officially announce the discontinuation of the Pulse 3D model, but we've seen reports from various regions that it's no longer available in stores. Pulse 3D has presumably been replaced by the Pulse Elite, which costs more. Some players have been left frustrated by the change. We've seen a number of threads pop up on gaming forums, with players complaining about issues with the pricey Elite and being unable to find a new Pulse 3D headset. 'I had Elites and Audeze Maxwell, and honestly, I returned to Pulse 3D due to great sound, comfort, and very light weight,' a user wrote on Reddit. 'I wanted to get a second pair and it's kinda unavailable in EU.' 'Why is no one talking about their Pulse headset just disappearing quietly?' another player asked. 'I think this is a big deal especially since their other headset [Elite], is still not functioning properly,' they added, referring to complaints of Elite disconnecting frequently. At the time of this writing, we can confirm that Pulse 3D isn't available to purchase via PS Direct.

Woman Reveals Names Gen Z Thinks Are 'Old-Lady Names'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Picking a baby name is a big decision. So some parents may be dismayed to find out that Gen Z has its own baby-name list—ones they think sound like "old lady names." In a TikTok, creator Kelley Cole explains which names made it onto the "old" list, and the results might surprise you. Why It Matters Baby-naming trends can often reflect broader cultural shifts and social values. The Social Security Administration (SSA) recently released its list of the most used baby names in the United States for 2024, with Olivia and Liam maintaining their reign as America's top choices for the sixth consecutive year. Newcomers on the list included Truce and Colsen for boys, and Ailany and Marjorie for girls. A doll in front of two notes with speech bubbles containing the names Marie and Elias.

Frank Rumpenhorst/picture-alliance/dpa/AP Images What To Know "I was told my name was an old lady name by the teenagers on the adolescent unit I was working on a few months ago," Cole says in the video that has been viewed more than 350,000 times. "I was surprised." Cole goes on to explain that teens shared with her what names are "old lady names" versus "young names." The list of names that the teens said were "old lady names": Ashley, Amanda, Jessica, Stephanie, Jennifer, Christie, Tracy, Stacey, Amy, Crystal, Kelly, Lisa, Jordan, Michelle, Shelly, Laura, Laurie, Kathy, Tammy, Heather, Angela and Angie. The "young girl names" were Bella, Isabelle, Olivia, Olive, Ava, Eden, Abigail and Abbie, Ella, Gracie, Zoe and Rose. And it's not the first time that so-called "old lady" names have sparked a debate between generations on TikTok. In 2024, a creator named Amber posted a video on the topic that went viral, receiving 4.3 million views as of reporting. "The other day my daughter told me the name Ashley or Amanda, or my name is Amber, are like old-people names," she says in the video. "I never thought about it this way, but she's like yeah my teachers' names are like Miss Erica, Miss Samantha, there's Amandas and Ashleys—those are just old-people names." Amber went on to list some of the young names her daughter had highlighted, including Scarlet, Charlotte, Olivia, Penelope, Isabella, Bella and Ella. Though the two videos were posted more than a year apart, there is overlap in what the group of young people told Cole, and what Amber's daughter told her, were old- and young-people's names. What People Are Saying Kelley Cole, in her TikTok video, after listing the "young-girl names": "Who's gonna tell these girls that those were our grandmas' names. Those are the old-lady names, not Kelley." What Happens Next Cole's remarks about the "young names" being "grandma names" taps into a key naming trend. There is a theory around names called the 100-year rule, where names cycle in and out of a fashion and it takes a century for the cycle to complete. In practice, this means names that were common for the grandparents or great-grandparents of Gen Z could be about to come back. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for their parents' names, but they may well come back around for future generations.
