(Video) 'Mission: Impossible' In 8D! GSC Hall's Ceiling Seen Leaking During Film Screening
That said, no one really wants a film to be so immersive that it feels as if we're in actual danger. That's exactly what happened to cinema-goers in Penang, who got more than they bargained for while watching the latest action film. Here's what happened:
Over the weekend, TikTok user @/afif_izham went to see the newly released 'Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning', starring Tom Cruise, at the Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC) outlet in Sunway Carnival Mall in Penang. Everything was going smoothly until halfway through the screening, when the ceiling of the cinema hall began to leak. As shown in the video, water was pouring down onto the middle seats.
Amusingly—spoiler alert—the incident occurred during a scene in which Tom Cruise's character, Ethan Hunt, is being transported to a military ship in the middle of the ocean. 'Our first time purchasing tickets to watch a film in 8D! They even used real water in the cinema,' the user joked in his caption. Thankfully for the customers, GSC moved them to a different cinema hall, where they were able to continue enjoying the film.
The video has since gone viral, garnering over 211,700 views. Most netizens found the incident amusing, saying how 'lucky' cinema-goers got to enjoy the immersive experience of the film, while others joked that Afif should be glad he and his friends weren't watching the latest 'Final Destination: Bloodline' film instead.
At the time of writing, neither Sunway Carnival Mall nor GSC has issued an official statement regarding the incident. While no one else has come forward to share their own '8D' experience, Afif and his friends certainly got their money's worth, judging by their reactions. Have you ever experienced something similar?

Sweet Merdeka: Inside Scoop revives Lokal Legends with six new flavours — but do they deliver?
Merdeka has always been about unity; Malaysians of all backgrounds coming together to celebrate the spirit of independence. This year, Inside Scoop is celebrating that same spirit of togethernessin the sweetest way possible: through ice cream. Inside Scoop's much-loved Lokal Legends collection returns for its second edition, bringing with it six nostalgic flavours co-created with iconic Malaysian brands that have been part of our everyday lives. Few things capture the essence of growing up in Malaysia quite like slipping a Gardenia Twiggies into a school bag, catching the familiar aroma of GSC popcorn during teenage movie outings, or savouring that first sip of Zus Coffee you can finally afford as an adult. Inside Scoop has transformed these nostalgic moments into creamy flavours, perfectly timed for the Merdeka and Malaysia Day celebrations. Founded in Bangsar in 2013, Inside Scoop has made its mark with over 200 flavours inspired by local tastes, staying true to its philosophy of crafting ice cream 'born in Malaysia, made for Malaysians.' Now, the brand pays homage to flavours tied to the nation's everyday life, blending tradition, nostalgia and indulgence in six new creations.

Gardenia's Twiggies Choc-A-Lot: A creamy milk chocolate base with generous chunks of Twiggies, giving a scoopable taste of childhood.

Farm Fresh's Choco Malt Kaw: A richer, bolder twist on the nostalgic malt drink, with fudgy swirls and crunchy malt soil. Inside Scoop Co-Founder Edmund Tan described this year's Lokal Legends as a heartfelt tribute to Malaysia. Together with his wife, Lim Shiew Li, who co-founded the brand with him, they take pride in partnering with beloved names that many Malaysians grew up with. From classic movie-night treats to nostalgic childhood snacks, they have reimagined these favourites into creations that are uniquely their own. Each scoop is handcrafted in Malaysia, celebrating the creativity and community spirit that lie at the heart of Inside Scoop. 'Last year, we introduced four flavours in celebration of Hari Merdeka. Guided by our philosophy of continuous improvement, we have gone further this year by bringing the total to six new flavours,' Lim said. Edmund, meanwhile, explained the reasoning behind the selection of brands and flavours for this year's Lokal Legends. He shared that there are countless local players, flavours and brands that they genuinely enjoy. In celebration of Hari Merdeka and Hari Malaysia, Inside Scoop aimed to honour that diversity by spotlighting local tastes and homegrown names. 'The inspiration behind selecting these six brands lies in their nostalgic value, each is part of Malaysia's food and beverage culture. Take Twinkies, for instance: it is a bread familiar to nearly every Malaysian, something we have grown up eating from childhood into adulthood,' he said. Lim continued and said that GSC popcorn evokes the nostalgia of cinema outings, whether watching a movie with friends or going on a date, creating memories that many can relate to and cherish. 'Alongside these classics, newer brands like Zus Coffee and Farm Fresh have also become part of today's experience. We aim to feature a diverse mix that includes premium options, brands known for their quality and products we genuinely enjoy,' she mentioned. Both of them hope this collaboration will spark lasting memories while embodying the spirit of unity—brands uniting, Malaysians coming together, all celebrating Hari Merdeka as one. They added that it also stands as a reminder of the ability of Malaysian brands to produce outstanding products, and that it is something Malaysians should take pride in. Inside Scoop's Lokal Legends 2025 collection will be available nationwide from Aug 18 to Sept 21, with scoops in special brand-themed sleeves or all six flavours in a RM68 limited-edition Party Pack. My taste test: Six scoops, six stories At the official launch, I sampled each flavour without toppings to appreciate their original profiles. Here is my honest take: GSC's Caramel Popcorn: My personal favourite. Light in texture yet full in flavour, with a caramel aftertaste that lingers beautifully without overwhelming sweetness. A perfect balance. My personal favourite. Light in texture yet full in flavour, with a caramel aftertaste that lingers beautifully without overwhelming sweetness. A perfect balance.

Gardenia's Twiggies Choc-A-Lot: Expectations were high, given Twiggies' cult status.

(Video) Was Katy Perry Hit With Electric Shock During Recent Concert?
Katy Perry's 'Lifetimes Tour' has sparked criticism and concern from fans. Last month, the singer experienced a stage malfunction when the wires of an elevated butterfly prop she was riding on came loose, causing it to drop slightly. Thankfully, the pop star managed to hold on, avoiding what could have been a serious fall. This time, the singer has gone viral once again following another alleged on-stage mishap. A video circulating online shows her ascending from the stage, before she suddenly jolted and left many wondering if she had suffered from an electric shock from the surrounding props. Here's what happened: During her recent concert in Raleigh, North Carolina, a fan captured the moment Katy Perry ascended from the stage while performing 'Artificial'. As she entered an elevated set, the singer, who was portraying an AI robot, appeared to suddenly jerk uncontrollably. Many claimed that the songstress had been shocked by the surrounding prop wires from the set. Fans, and even non-fans, took to social media to express concern over the poor stage setup, noting that there have already been several instances where Katy has almost been injured on stage. Others, however, made light of the situation, joking that the nun who was once involved in a legal dispute with the star, and who tragically died in court during a post-judgment hearing, had come back to haunt her during the tour. Some fans suggested that Katy may not have suffered from an electric shock at all, but that there may be something wrong with her harness as she was ascending. This appears to be the most plausible explanation, as closer inspection of the video shows one of the wires catching on the elevated set before coming free, possibly causing the singer to jolt suddenly. She was even seen checking the left side of her harness with her hand immediately after it happened. Thankfully, Katy Perry was left unharmed. However, it is concerning that such incidents continue to occur during her tour. Perhaps it would be safer for her to remain on the ground for the rest of the shows, or, at the very least, ensure that stage crews carry out thorough safety inspections on all sets and props before showtime.

'Skibidi' added to Cambridge dictionary
Your browser does not support the audio element. LONDON: Words popularised by Gen Z and Gen Alpha including "skibidi", "delulu" and "tradwife" are among 6,000 new entries to the online edition of the Cambridge Dictionary over the last year, said its publisher yesterday. Cambridge University Press said tradwife, a portmanteau of traditional wife, reflected "a growing, controversial Instagram and TikTok trend that embraces traditional gender roles". The dictionary also took on the challenge of defining skibidi, a word popularised in online memes, as a term which had "different meanings such as cool or bad, or can be used with no real meaning". The gibberish word was spread by a YouTube channel called "Skibidi Toilet" and is associated with the mindless, "brain rot" content found on social media and consumed by Gen Alpha's overwhelmingly digital lifestyle. The dictionary defined delulu, derived from the word delusional, as "believing things that are not real or true, usually because you choose to". As an example, it cited a 2025 speech in Parliament where Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese used the phrase "delulu with no solulu". "It's not every day you get to see words like skibidi and delulu make their way into the Cambridge Dictionary," said Colin McIntosh, Lexical Programme manager at the Cambridge Dictionary. "We only add words where we think they'll have staying power. Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the dictionary." Other new phrases include "lewk", used to describe a unique fashion look and popularised by RuPaul's Drag Race, and "inspo", short for inspiration. Work from home culture has given rise to "mouse jiggler", referring to a way to pretend to work when you are not. There is also "forever chemical", man-made chemicals that stay in the environment for years and have gained traction as concerns grow about the irreversible impact of climate change on the health of humans and the planet.
