Gold Derby's for May 28, 2025.
Keanu Reeves is a literal angel in the teaser The feature directorial debut from Aziz Ansari has finally been revealed, and it looks heavenly. Seemingly a riff on Wings of Desire, Good Fortune follows an angel Gabriel (played by a winged Keanu Reeves), who is looking for more meaning in his work. He finds Arj, played by Ansari, who is a lost soul, peeing in bottles while working for a thinly veiled Amazon-like company. The film, which also stars Seth Rogen, Sandra Oh, and Keke Palmer, hits theaters on Oct. 17.

Nobody Wants This cast announce release date for season two
Kristen Bell and Adam Brody have confirmed season two of Nobody Wants This will drop later this year. Loosely inspired by creator Erin Foster's own experiences, the hit Netflix show follows agnostic podcaster Joanne (Bell) as she starts a relationship with an unconventional rabbi named Noah (Brody). The show was renewed for a second series shortly after it premiered via the streamer last September, and on Sunday, the cast revealed the new episodes will drop on 23 October. The news was shared by Bell, Brody, and fellow actors Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons, and Jackie Tohn at Netflix's FYSEE LA Emmy Event. In addition, producers posted a video online in which the actors are seen celebrating the release date by asking a Magic 8 Ball questions regarding the "scoop" on the second season. Bell begins by asking, "Will the Matzah Ballers (fictional basketball team) make the playoffs?" to which she gets the response: "Try again, loser." The cast also questions whether there will be "another iconic kiss this season," referring to a memorable scene between Bell and Brody's characters in the second episode, and if Joanne's sister Morgan, as played by Lupe, will "find love". To conclude, Bell asks the Magic 8 Ball what's coming in October, to which she gets the response: "Ask a rabbi". "And the rabbi says: season two! Your favourite show and mine, Nobody Wants This," adds Brody. In a recent interview for Netflix's Queue magazine, the former star of The O.C. recalled how the entire cast of Nobody Wants This instantly bonded. "We just enjoy each other so much," he gushed. "I know these are early days, but we're not young kids. We're stable. And I would imagine if we go a long time, we'll still feel that way. I just really, really, really like everyone."

MJ's Motivation: 'Dig the well before you need water'
Dig the well before you need water: A popular Chinese takes time to dig, and its hard work. We might need the water tomorrow, or in ten years, who knows? Regardless of when it arrives, the time to dig is not when you're dying of thirst. We live in a world where urgency trumps importance. Life is often geared towards the short term, but there is wisdom in preparation, spending time digging even though you aren't parched just ago, Netflix invested heavily in streaming even though DVD's were still dominant at the time. Look where we are now. Athletics, relationships, careers; this concept transcends it ask yourself: Have I started digging?If not, there is no better time to pick up the shovel.
