Meet Mr Alex: The ‘gentleman' calf living on a 28th-floor apartment, enjoying balcony views and cuddles
Pets don't always fit the usual mould. Sometimes, rescue stories lead to unusual yet endearing companions, breaking the regular pet-keeping norms. On that note, let's take a closer look at the story of Mr Alex, a well-mannered calf who lives in an apartment. Mr Alex is a well-behaved rescue calf who loves pretty balcony views.(PC: IG/@saianimalactivist) Animal activist Sai Vignesh, who frequently shares heartfelt animal rescue stories on Instagram, posted on August 8 about a calf living with his rescuer, Thejaswini S Rangan, in a 28th-floor apartment. Mr Alex is the calf who loves balcony sunsets and panoramic views, unconventional, yet absolutely adorable. Thejaswini shared the story of Alex, a three-month-old bull calf rescued from the streets of Neelankarai. The calf met with an accident then. She recalled how fragile he was, but with care, he turned into a beautiful, healthy calf. Thejaswini said, 'When he was about barely a month and a half old, he was crossing the road and he was hit by a speeding vehicle. So when we found him. His limbs were badly bleeding, his back was swollen, so we brought him home immediately, and we thought we should give him first aid and we gave him good rest. We gave him enough security and he has blossomed into a fantastic calf.' Mr Alex has many special quirks that set him apart from other calves, as she added, 'I have seen many bull calves before. They are all very naughty and very sassy. But this boy is such a gentleman. He doesn't headbutt, he doesn't kick and he loves cuddles. He loves getting cuddles both us and the dogs as well.' Adding to the list of the calf's adorable traits, Thejaswini further shared that he loves spending time on the balcony, enjoying the sunrise and sunset views over the Bay of Bengal and the Buckingham Canal. Thejaswini also mentioned that the calf shares a special bond with the dogs. The calf loves cuddles from everyone, even the dogs. Even more surprising is that the dogs eat with the calf. She said, 'The dogs eat along with the calf, even the grass. They all eat together. So it is a community table where they are all eating everything that he is also eating.' Now, finally, how did this charming calf come to be known as Mr. Alex? His name's inspiration comes from Alex Pandian, a character from a Tamil movie known for his unmistakable swag, which the calf embodied right from the beginning. Thejaswini added, 'Because of his swag, he got the name Mr. Alex. When he was injured and walking towards us with his head tilted, it looked exactly like how Alex Pandian moves.' Internet reactions The comment section was in awe of the gentlemanly calf who loves watching the sky from the balcony. One user appreciated the rescue effort, writing, 'mr. Alex is such a handsome fellow, truly adorable, and hats off to you. Great work. God bless.' Another highlighted that pets aren't limited to the usual cats and dogs, adding, 'This proves that pets means not only the dog and everyone sees the animals as babies.' Another commented, 'I hope his biological mom knows how happy and well he is now.' However, one user raised a practical concern, asking, 'What is she going to do when he grows too big for the flat and the elevator?' In response, Thejaswini explained that she has a farm where Alex will be moving soon. She shared that he stayed with her only until his wounds healed completely. Now, since he is healthy, Alex has gained six kilograms in the past month and a half. ALSO READ: No walks for pets this monsoon? Vet shares 6 indoor games to keep them active

‘Weapons' ending explained: Where did the children go and what happened to them?
17 children from the same class disappear one night, exactly at 2:17 a.m., except a boy named Alex and their teacher, Justine Gandy – the storyline that has stunned the audience in a gut-churning way. The recently released film, 'Weapons,' managed to create an unsettling and eerie atmosphere in the theatres, bringing a disturbing yet quite delirious conclusion. What is 'Weapons' about? The horror film, directed by Zach Cregger , revolved around the self-proclaimed aunt and the witch, Gladys, and Alex. After the 17 children are disappeared, Justine (Julia Garner) looks into the matter and takes help of Alex Lily (Cary Christopher). As the films is divided in sections, the crumbs are dropped and truth is revealed as the course of the film continues – which helps to understand that Alex was threatened by Gladys (Amy Madigan) to steal the personal belongings of the other kids to perform a strange ritual, according to Screen Rant. The delirious climax of 'Weapons' The showdown takes place at Alex's residence, where all the kids are trapped. Alex uses a lock of Justine's hair to set the children against the witch, leading to them tearing Gladys apart. As the spell wears off, the children seem to be recovering from the aching. Previously, it was shown that the witch was ill, and was draining life out off Alex's parents. However, the two lives were not enough, and it made her force Alex to channel the 17 young lives. The symbolism While the impact was perceived to be temporary, the final shot revealing a kid's eyes is an indicator that he might not return to his truest self again. Moreover, the symbolism of the film speaks volumes, regarding the witch and her actions. According to Screen Rant, the film speaks about the selfishness and indifference in the adults, to the extent that one could easily possess the lives through demonic ways.

Weapons Movie Review: Gore and scares anchor this domestic horror
The visuals and sound effects are worth a special mention, as no shot is too long or unwarranted. It serves the purpose of brilliantly heightening the tension. The same is true about the cuts that seamlessly weave through the various stories and perspectives. Pulsating music needs to add to the eerie atmosphere in a horror movie. The sound design is exceptional, and even the sounds of objects are employed efficiently. Take, for instance, a scene where an anxious Justine is sitting inside her car outside Alex's house to prevent anything from happening to him. She comes to the spot at noon, and the frame is on her throughout the time transition when a creepy person passes her car and opens the door (known by the sound) when the camera is still on Justine. There is no need for a reminder for where we left off in a story, be it Justine's, Paul's, Archer's, James' or Alex's. We resume with everyone's story after a break, with no confusion or need for reminders, thanks to the ingenious editing. The visuals play an integral role in the screenplay and seamlessly enable the convergence of all their stories and motives. Additionally, the makers have also innovated in the dream sequences. Dreams in most films are lucid and real-worldly. In some cases, they are done so deliberately to confuse us. In Weapons, the dreams are visualised like how we dream in real life; you see a giant gun over the roof that has a digital clock in it. Dark humour is another factor that works in favour of the film. The comedy writer that Zach Cregger is comes to the fore in these spaces, dishing out two to three well-thought-out portions, including the climax resolution, which is a mix of absurdity, comedy and gore. All the actors have displayed strands of brilliance in their respective portions, but the last act featuring a splendid Cary Christopher and an equally exceptional mystery character outweighs them all. Alex, like any kid of his age, is easily influenced and malleable to manipulation. His walking on eggshells, not knowing how to come out of the danger that he and his parents are trapped in, evokes empathy. Cregger makes us reconsider our wish not to have heroic moments in such a film, providing a proper cinematic high when Alex uses his enemy's weapon against them. From battling a stranger inside one's home to becoming a stranger in one's own home, Weapons is an apt follow-up to Barbarian. Just because the film is A-rated and has gory scenes, Cregger doesn't take the genre for granted. There is a method to his madness. The film is amply filled with every prerequisite of the genre, and as a bonus, it creates an emotional catharsis... a rarity that turns weapons out of one's own trauma.
