Taylor Swift Fans Think That They've Worked Out Her Secret Cameo In 'Happy Gilmore 2'
As you may know, Happy Gilmore 2 finally hit our screens last week, and it is jam-packed with celebrity cameos — in fact, Screen Rant estimated that there are at least 72 surprise appearances in the movie's 114-minute runtime. These cameos range from Eminem to Haley Joel Osment, and even Adam Sandler's wife, Jackie Sandler, puts in a guest appearance. Related: But for Taylor Swift fans, there is one specific Happy Gilmore 2 cameo that they are most invested in, and that is her boyfriend Travis Kelce's brief but incredibly memorable role as 'The Waiter,' who faces the wrath of Bad Bunny's character, Oscar, after he fires him over a minor slip-up. This leads to Oscar fantasizing about getting his revenge, and in a dreamlike sequence, Travis is tied to a post, shirtless, and then slathered with honey before a bear approaches and attacks him. Earlier this week, Netflix posted a short behind-the-scenes video that showed this sequence being filmed, and off the back of it, some Swifties have become convinced that Taylor also had a top-secret role in the movie as… The bear who attacks Travis. Related: For reference, Taylor does have previous when it comes to dressing up as a bear: View this photo on Instagram Related: And when she promoted Happy Gilmore 2 on her Instagram story amid its release, she included a telltale honeypot emoji: Netflix themselves added fuel to the fire when they replied to an Instagram comment that read: 'They should've dressed Taylor as a bear for an epic surprise' with '👀.' Somebody else commented on the post: 'From the moment I saw it, I knew Tay was the bear 😉,' and another echoed: 'You just know Taylor is the bear.' 'Taylor is definitely in the suit,' one more added, and everyone was saying the same thing over on TikTok, too. 'Was Taylor the bear 😭' one person asked, and even the official Betty Crocker TikTok page got involved as they commented: 'Is Taylor the bear??? 🍯' And another insisted: 'Everybody knows it was Taylor the bear.' Despite the Swifties' confidence, Adam did previously say that he didn't ask Taylor to cameo in the film, telling Extra: "We didn't want to bother Taylor. Just let Taylor entertain the world like she does.' Related: And it's also worth noting that stunt actor Brandon Alan Smith is credited as 'Bear Performer' on Happy Gilmore 2's IMDB page… But hey, maybe that's just what they want us to believe...

New movies to watch this weekend: See 'The Naked Gun' in theaters, rent '28 Years Later,' stream 'Final Destination: Bloodlines' on HBO Max and more
Real-life couple Dave Franco and Alison Brie get as intimate as ever in body-horror flick "Together." Hello, Yahoo readers! My name is Brett Arnold, film critic and longtime Yahoo editor, and I'm back with another edition of Trust Me, I Watch Everything. This week, two very different new releases starring two very different couples debut in theaters nationwide: The Naked Gun reboot, starring new pair Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson, and Together, a horror rom-com starring married couple Alison Brie and Dave Franco. Recent theatrical films like 28 Years Later and The Life of Chuck are newly available to rent, and the smash-hit Final Destination: Bloodlines makes its way to HBO Max. But that's not all, so read on, because there's always something for everyone! What to watch in theaters Movies newly available to rent or buy Movies newly available on streaming services you may already have 🎥What to watch in theaters My recommendation: The Naked Gun Why you should watch it: If you want to see comedies thrive in theaters again, the best thing you can do is support The Naked Gun this weekend. The reboot of the spoof comedy series stars Liam Neeson in the role Leslie Nielsen made famous and ushers the characters into the modern world. Neeson plays Frank Drebin Jr., the son of Police Squad's Lt. Frank Drebin, as he attempts to solve a murder to prevent his unit from shutting down amid society's changing sentiment on policing. Pamela Anderson costars, and the two leads have made headlines with their on-set romance. Neeson is terrific, harnessing the same "this guy's a serious actor" energy that Nielsen brought to the role to brilliant comedic effect. Pamela Anderson also stands out as femme fatale Beth Davenport. I would call her by her undercover name, but I don't want to ruin a big laugh. The reboot, directed by The Lonely Island's Akiva Schaffer (Hot Rod, Pop Star: Never Stop Never Stopping) and produced by Family Guy's Seth MacFarlane, has been in the works for decades with various talent attached. The movie nails the Naked Gun ethos, mining humor from every element of the film, from the dialogue to the blink-and-you'll-miss-them sight gags. It even sports a Mission: Impossible reference so direct, I expected fellow Paramount character Ethan Hunt to make a cameo. The movie has a singular goal: to make you laugh. A lot. It succeeds better than any studio comedy in recent memory. There are so many jokes dispatched at such a rapid clip, you might miss a few because you're still laughing from the previous gag. It's 85 minutes of nonstop belly laughs. You're unlikely to find a movie with a higher joke-per-minute ratio, except maybe a previous Naked Gun film. It also kicks off the start of spoof season, with a new Wayans Bros. Scary Movie coming out next year. Here's hoping we get another sequel with a silly number in the title. What other critics are saying: They love it! The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw teases that "it finishes with a quite extraordinarily bizarre and offensive tribute which caused the audience I was in to go into gibbering shock." The Wrap's William Bibbiani puts it simply: "It's very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very funny. Very." How to watch: The Naked Gun is now in theaters nationwide. Get tickets Bonus recommendation: Together Why you should watch it: Alison Brie and Dave Franco star in this body-horror rom-com skewering toxic codependence in relationships and modern fears of monogamy. The real-life married couple play a twosome moving to the countryside, which tests the limits of their relationship. A supernatural encounter begins an extreme transformation of their love, their lives and (gulp) their flesh. Franco embodies the typical stunted-growth male, afraid of committing to his beautiful partner because he'd rather go on tour with his band. He feels trapped by the idea of monogamy, and moving away from the city and his friends worsens that. Yet, he literally can't function when his partner is gone. Brie is great, but feels underwritten in the role of "girlfriend" and "teacher." The script, its weakest asset, feels like a mash-up of dozens of other horror movies. Together is at its worst when it leans into trying to explain its high-concept premise, ultimately factoring in the occult in a way that feels lazy and also uninteresting. The actual body horror stuff is nasty and fun, and I appreciated how much reverence it shows towards John Carpenter's The Thing that kicks off from the opening scene. The biggest surprise is that director Michael Shanks crafts some genuinely unnerving and very effective jump scare sequences. You watch a metaphor turn literal as the couple decides it'd be easier to "split" now than to let things fester. In relationships, two halves are meant to become a single whole, and that idea gets taken here to its most horror-movie extreme. Together works on its own terms well enough, but it's hard not to think of all the other genre movies it's referencing throughout, especially if you're aware of the litigation currently ongoing regarding the potential theft of the story idea. What other critics are saying: They dig it! David Rooney at the Hollywood Reporter says "the movie's final escalation slaps on the prosthetic disfigurements to hilarious gross-out effect," and Variety's Owen Gleiberman writes, "audiences should have fun withTogether, a body-horror movie about a serious thing — love — that never takes itself too seriously. How to watch: Together is now in theaters nationwide. Get tickets 🤔 But that's not all! : Taron Egerton stars in this gritty crime-thriller based on the best-selling book of the same name about a little girl on the lam with her dangerous father. Is her dad a threat, or is he a good guy who got mixed up with some bad people? The performances are strong, though the script is largely cliché. Now playing in theaters. This animated sequel is like a kiddie version of an Ocean's 11 movie, and I'm here for it. Now playing in theaters. 💸 Movies newly available to rent or buy My recommendation: Why you should watch it: There are fewer than 28 weeks to go until 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, the second movie in a planned trilogy, hits theaters. If you missed 28 Years Later, it's well worth the price of a rental, though if you can hold out, it's sure to be streaming in a few weeks. The film takes place — you guessed it — 28 years after the events of the 2002 original film, 28 Days Later. The infected have evolved. Still living in quarantine, some people have found ways to exist amid the infected. The film follows a group of survivors who live on a small island, including a boy and his mother who are forced by circumstance to venture into the dark heart of the mainland. When it hit theaters, I wrote that it's a more thoughtful and somber film than some may be expecting, lighter on zombie action than its predecessors and more focused on domestic drama and acceptance of circumstances. It's surprisingly emotionally affecting by the third act, once Ralph Fiennes, the film's MVP, enters. What other critics are saying: Critics are big fans. The Associated Press's Jake Coyle wrote, "Buried in here are some tender reflections on mortality and misguided exceptionalism, and even the hint of those ideas make 28 Years Later a more thoughtful movie than you're likely to find at the multiplex this time of year." William Bibbiani at the Wrap agrees, writing that "the filmmakers haven't redefined the zombie genre, but they've refocused their own culturally significant riff into a lush, fascinating epic that has way more to say about being human than it does about (re-)killing the dead." How to watch: 28 Years Later is now available to rent or buy on Amazon, Apple TV and other VOD platforms. Stream '28 Years Later' Bonus recommendation: The Life of Chuck Why you should watch it: In my mind, there are two movies in the running for Best Picture at this point in the year — this movie, which is based on a Stephen King novella and written and directed by frequent King adapter Mike Flanagan, and Sinners, the massive box office hit that drove Oppenheimer levels of IMAX revenue in addition to critical praise. As I wrote when it hit theaters, The Life of Chuck follows an ordinary man's life but in reverse order, from the third act to the first act. In the process, we learn about his life, as well as the life he didn't live but might have enjoyed more. It may sound corny, but by the time act two hits, I was fully in the palm of the movie's hand and openly weeping. Saying any more would be a disservice to this very special and quietly powerful film, which is equally inspiring as it is depressing. What other critics are saying: They (mostly) love it! Shirley Li at the Atlantic wrote, "I fell for the film's earnest insistence that each of us has access to an inner world no one else can ever fully know; that message, as trite as it may be, is particularly touching because of its pointed delivery." Even a detractor like Time's Stephanie Zacharek said of the film's best scene that when in motion, The Life of Chuck "really is transcendent." How to watch: The Life of Chuck is now available to rent or buy on Amazon, Apple TV and other VOD platforms. Stream 'The Life of Chuck' 📺 Movies newly available on streaming services you may have My recommendation: Why you should watch it: The sixth entry in the beloved horror franchise was a huge hit that surpassed every previous film in both box office receipts and critical reception. It delivers everything you'd want out of a Final Destination movie and then some. A sequence with franchise mainstay Tony Todd, who died between production and release, functions as an unexpectedly poignant direct message from the actor to the audience. In the Final Destination universe thus far, death always comes for a group of unrelated strangers after they survive some sort of freak accident, but in this entry, it's hereditary. It even goes further to suggest that any offspring of people who survived the opening incident here — a standout involving a Space Needle-style restaurant falling apart — are marked for death since they should have never been born. It's appropriately twisted and just the right amount of silly. When it debuted in theaters, I wrote that it's an absolute blast, as nihilistic as it is hilarious, and finds a clever and fun way into slightly retooling its concept. Fans of the series are in for a treat, and newcomers will want to dive right into the back catalog afterwards, which thankfully is also on HBO Max. What other critics are saying: It's the highest-rated entry in the series by far, with a 93% Tomatometer rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Radheyan Simonpillai at the Guardian raved that it 'breathes new life' into the franchise, and Jacob Oller at the AV Club says it 'honors a legacy of unrepentant silliness and gleeful gore with a knowing wink.' How to watch: Final Destination: Bloodlinesis now streaming on HBO Max. Stream 'Final Destination: Bloodlines' Bonus recommendation: Borderline Why you should watch it: Horror-genre stalwart Samara Weaving and relative newcomer Ray Nicholson, son of Jack, if his mug didn't give it away, star in this horror-comedy alongside Eric Dane, who recently revealed his ALS diagnosis and hasn't been shy about detailing his struggles. After escaping from a mental hospital, a violent sociopath named Paul (Nicholson) begins a dangerous rampage targeting Sofia, a world-famous pop star. Obsessed with her, he takes Sofia hostage in her own home, acting under the delusional belief that they are getting married. Paul is desperate to prove his devotion, leading to a tense and unpredictable situation. Dane plays her bodyguard. As I wrote when it debuted on-demand, the movie has some trouble shifting gears from shocking horror to laugh-out-loud comedy, but those tonal issues don't take away from the fact that it's a fun-enough star vehicle for two young performers who have yet to stretch their legs like this before. The movie commits to its own bit and is full of fun needle drops, including an unforgettable sequence built around a Celine Dion banger. Those moments, as well as the pure movie star quality exuded by its actors and its overall commitment to the bit, won me over despite some issues with tone and flippancy with regard to Nicholson's character's mental health condition. What other critics are saying: Reactions vary wildly. Clint Worthington at is mixed, writing that "there's a least a few bits and bobs to keep Borderline from borderline failing." FilmFreakCentral's Walter Chaw really dug it, calling it "carefully thought-out and laser-focused on the simplicity of its framework while remaining determined to squeeze every last drop of inspiration from it." How to watch: Borderline is now streaming on Hulu. Stream 'Borderline' 🤔 But that's not all! This new take on the classic material came out of nowhere and debuted on Prime Video this week. The concept is, "What if the alien invasion from War of the Worlds took place entirely on a computer screen?" It does not lend itself naturally to a screenlife film, and the U.S. government spy protagonist who snoops on his own family members is also pretty off-putting. So much of the movie is Ice Cube's face reacting to situations and saying 'Damn!' It gets even worse when it tries to hokily rope in emotional stakes. It's not good! Now streaming on Amazon Prime.

This ingenious Switch 2 controller doubles as a french fry holder
BY Listen to this Article More info 0:00 / 2:03 A new 3D-printed model takes advantage of the design of the Nintendo Switch 2's snap-on magnetic controllers by turning the video game console into a french fry holder. The ' GamiFries ' rig has magnetic connectors that allow the Switch 2's controllers and screen to snap on in two modes, handheld and controller. It's built to hold a medium-size order of fries, with a circular carve-out that's perfectly positioned to show the McDonald's golden arches logo. An anonymous user with no other post history uploaded the model as a free download with fair-use promotional images in McDonald's red and yellow. 'We're fans of 3D-printed models and how we can use them to bring ideas to life, especially for small-scale fabrication,' the creator behind the model told Fast Company in an email. 'You can have an idea and suddenly it becomes a product. Then you have to hope that people find it funny or useful.' The Switch 2 has inspired a host of 3D-printed accessories on sites like MakerWorld since Nintendo released the console in June. The Switch 2 sold 1.6 million units in the U.S. in one month, making it the fastest-selling gaming hardware in U.S. history, and it's become the fastest-selling Nintendo console of all time globally. GamiFries joins gaming chopsticks holders, a Pizza Hut video game pizza warmer, and Nintendo Switch soda cups as the latest innovation in gaming-snack accessories, a novelty category well suited for fast food like french fries. It's also especially well suited for streamers. A 2023 U.K. report by the entertainment wiki hosting site Fandom found 'gamers are 50% more likely than the average person to value taste over nutrition,' while gamers' top snack purchases trend toward salty (41%) over sweet (33%). Seems like gamers might just be natural spokespeople for fast-food and snack brands that want to get their products in front of consumers. The early-rate deadline for Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies Awards is Friday, September 5, at 11:59 p.m. PT. Apply today.
