Crystal International Advances Smart Manufacturing

Crystal International Group Limited released its 2024 sustainability report outlining the apparel manufacturer's sustainability vision, strategies, key initiatives, achievements, and performance. The Hong Kong-based company produces denim, lifestyle apparel, sportswear and outdoor apparel, intimates, knits and fabrics across its production facilities in Vietnam, China, Cambodia, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. More from Sourcing Journal Teamsters President: 'UPS Will Be in for a Hell of a Fight' After Layoffs UPS Slashes 20,000 Jobs as it Weans Off Amazon Cone Denim Outlines Sustainability Gains in New Report In the report, CEO Andrew Lo described 2024 as a year of gradual recovery amidst geopolitical and macroeconomic challenges. Despite this, the company's efforts to reduce its environmental impact progressed. In 2024, Crystal's net zero target was validated by the Science Based Targets initiative. The company's long-term target is to reduce absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 90 percent by 2050, based on a 2022 baseline. As Crystal's production scale gradually increases, the denim factory in Vietnam has expanded its existing wastewater treatment plant by adding a new treatment unit. Currently, the factory is using up to 60 percent recycled water in its production processes. Using sustainable inputs continues to be a priority. In 2024, 40 percent of Crystal's sportswear fabrics incorporated recycled polyester, while around 85 percent of its denim was BCI cotton. In Vietnam, 55 percent of the raw materials were certified with GRS or Recycled Claim Standard certification. In 2024, 80 percent of Crystal's chemicals conformed to the highest level 3 of the ZDHC MRSL. The report also gives insight into Crystal's investments in new technologies. Crystal's Digital Product Creation Center, which was established in 2022, is meeting the increasing demand for 3D virtual sampling. The number of physical samples shipped by Crystal's denim division to customers in 2024 decreased by more than 50 percent compared to 2018. The company is scaling smart manufacturing for denim to prepare for increased capacity, which is aimed at nearly doubling by 2029 compared to 2023. Crystal's denim factory in Vietnam is currently being transitioned to smart manufacturing. The overhaul includes a smart warehouse management system, a smart AGV system, a smart cutting system and smart production lines. Additionally, RFID technology is being utilized to identify and track the movement of semi-finished and finished products along the production process. Crystal said this advancement helps streamline inventory management, reduces the risk of loss or misplacement and enhances quality control by identifying issues swiftly. The overhaul is expected to be completed in mid-2026. Crystal said the denim team will continue to explore the application of artificial intelligence in the production processes, ensuring that we remain at the forefront of innovation in the industry. The newly extended drying hanger system at Crystal's denim factory in Cambodia enhanced the capacity of the pre-drying process, reducing the dryer's operation time by 20 minutes on average. Stretching 5,640 feet, it is the longest drying hanger track among Crystal's denim factories. The report states that it saved approximately 22 percent of steam and 3 percent of electricity consumption, resulting in an annual reduction of around 350 tonnes of carbon emissions. Crystal is planning to expand its FLAP model (short Finishing Center, Logistics Center, Assembly Center and Parts Manufacturing Center), which serves as a blueprint for automating its knits division. The model is being piloted at one of Crystal's lifestyle apparel factories in China. Colleagues from sister factories participating in months-long, in-depth training sessions at the factory to equip them with the knowledge and experience needed to implement FLAP at their factories. In general, Crystal is expediting its factories' transition to automation. Over 300 automated machines and robots in Crystal's knits factories in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Bangladesh since 2023. The technologies have reduced the amount of time it takes to produce a basic T-shirt by 34 percent compared to 2020.

Daughter Takes Mom on Flight to Europe. Mom Gets a Meaningful Surprise When She Boards (Exclusive)

Crystal surprised her mom with a first-class flight to Europe as a gesture of gratitude and love The viral moment captured Emma's emotional reaction and highlighted the importance of breaking generational cycles For Crystal, the experience was about showing her family they deserve joy, luxury and new legaciesCrystal always knew she wanted to give her mother, Emma, more than just gratitude — she wanted to give her a memory that would last forever. So when it came time for their mother-daughter trip to Europe, she turned an ordinary flight into an extraordinary surprise that soon became a viral sensation. 'I just wanted to do something special for my mom because she's always put me first,' Crystal tells PEOPLE. 'She had no idea what was coming, and that made it even better.' The now-famous TikTok clip begins with Crystal whispering to the camera, 'Guys, my mom has no idea, but we're about to fly first class. She thinks we're flying normal, which is still great, but she's gonna really be surprised about this.' The camera captures both her anticipation and the quiet satisfaction of a daughter about to deliver a dream. When Emma realizes the surprise, joy takes over her face completely. She turns to the flight attendant and beams, 'I've got a good daughter, she made us proud, she did well in school, and we didn't have to pay a penny.' That genuine moment became a symbol of love, sacrifice and something deeper — breaking generational cycles. 'My parents went without a lot so we could have what we needed,' Crystal says. 'Now I get to give that back and say, 'You deserve this too.' " Emma was stunned by the gesture, overcome with gratitude and awe. 'I cannot believe it… It just overtook me with appreciation, love and joy,' she says, still marveling at the moment. As a first-generation college graduate, Crystal sees luxury not as indulgence, but as reclamation. 'It's about showing my family that we are worthy of nice things — that our sacrifices meant something,' she explains. The video's overlay read, 'Surprising my mom with business class to Europe,' but the caption struck a deeper chord: 'Breaking generational curses. Her reaction was priceless.' It's a message that resonated with millions, many of whom saw themselves in Crystal's act of love. 'This was never about going viral,' Crystal says. 'It was about showing the world — and my mom — that we're allowed to experience joy, too.' Emma raised Crystal with values that shaped the woman she became: hard work, humility and a deep sense of responsibility. 'She was always on the A honor roll, always volunteering, always helping others — she's just a good child,' Emma says with pride. Crystal didn't always plan to film the surprise. But something in her felt compelled to capture the moment, both for herself and for others who might need to see it. 'It was organic,' she recalls. 'As we were walking to the gate, I thought — this is bigger than us, this is about changing what our family believes is possible.' Growing up, Crystal's family didn't have access to luxury, but they had each other. 'We had what we needed, but not the extra,' she says. 'Now, I want my parents to see the other side of life too.' Emma's gratitude for that experience runs deep. 'My parents never got to live like this,' she says. 'So to see Crystal giving that to me — it brought tears to my eyes.' For Crystal, it's also about being a model for her nieces and future generations. 'They're watching everything we do, and I want them to know we can create new legacies,' she says. The trip itself marked a turning point in their relationship. 'This was the first time we traveled alone together, just the two of us, and it was healing,' Crystal shares. Emma agrees, noting how meaningful their time together felt. 'We laughed, we talked — it felt like we were girlfriends, not just mother and daughter,' she says. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer​​, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Crystal says that their family values were the foundation of this moment. 'My mom always taught me to save — if you get 50 cents, you save 25,' she says. 'Those lessons helped me manage money well enough to make something like this possible.' But more than financial lessons, it was the emotional resilience that carried her through. 'She taught me to be confident in who I am, to know my worth, even when I was bullied growing up,' Crystal adds. Emma's advice to other parents is just as heartfelt. 'Be patient, be kind and give your time,' she says. 'That's what children remember — not money, but love.' She also emphasizes the importance of presence over possessions. 'We didn't have 10 TVs, but we had fun and we had each other,' Emma says. 'That's what mattered.' When asked what she hopes others take away from the viral video, Crystal's message is simple but powerful. 'You don't have to fly first class to show love — luxury looks different to everyone,' she says. She wants others to understand that it's the gesture that counts. 'Give them their flowers while they're here,' Crystal adds. 'Whether it's a plane ticket or a card, just show them they're appreciated.' Emma hopes their story encourages other families to break old cycles and build something new. 'Communication is so important,' she says. 'We don't know it all as parents, and sometimes we need to listen and grow too.' For Crystal, breaking generational curses starts with intention. 'Every step I take is a chance to change our family's direction,' she says. 'It's not about rushing — it's about doing the work.' And part of that work, she says, is emotional healing. 'You've got to be vulnerable, maybe even go to therapy, and understand where these cycles come from,' Crystal adds. 'Only then can you move forward.' As they recall the moment that touched millions, both women carry it with them in a deeper way. 'I'll never forget her face when she found out,' Crystal says. 'It was everything I hoped it would be.' Emma, with a soft smile, echoes the sentiment that started it all. 'I've got a good daughter,' she says. 'She made us proud.' Read the original article on People

Zhang Zhenhuan's daughter, 3, tries out acting, gets visit to Shanghai Disneyland as reward, Entertainment News

The daughter of ex-Mediacorp actor Zhang Zhenhuan is dipping her toes into acting. In an Instagram reel uploaded by his wife, Pan Sichen, on Tuesday (May 27), she shared that their daughter, Crystal, who turns four this year, had just acted in her first show where she plays the male lead's daughter. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Pan Sichen (@ Speaking to AsiaOne on Friday (May 30), Zhenhuan, 41, who goes by Zhenxuan now, said that it is a Chinese drama and that the filming lasted for about two to three days. Sichen accompanied Crystal to the shoot and will return to China in June for two more days of filming. Zhenhuan said that the drama was one his friend was working on and it had a role for a child. Crystal's age was "just right". He said: "(Sichen and I) thought that since she is not afraid of strangers, we could let her try out acting as it would be a good experience and also help her build up courage." With an actor for a father, did Crystal express an interest in acting prior to this? Zhenhuan said: "She has always liked sports and dancing, but had never shown any interest in acting before. "However, after we completed filming on the first day, we asked if she would be okay to continue filming again in a few days and she said yes." Zhenhuan said that Crystal has also been outgoing and unafraid of strangers. "So we told her to give the role a try. We also told her if she performed well and followed what the director said, we'll take her to Shanghai Disneyland after filming." And it seems that she did do a good job after all, as he joked: "Crystal said she enjoyed the (acting) experience, but I'm not sure if she actually did — maybe it's because we took her to Shanghai Disneyland after the filming." The couple have an older son, Miro, who will turn five this year. When we asked if Miro had expressed any interest in acting before, Zhenhuan said: "Not at all, Miro likes to draw and read — he's more introverted." Currently, Zhenhuan is in Singapore where he has been active in sales livestreaming on actor-host Pornsak's e-commerce business platform [[nid:718561]]

Are cruises all-inclusive? These 7 brands are

Are cruises all-inclusive? These 7 brands are Show Caption Hide Caption How to find the best price, perks when booking a cruise Find the cruise that works for your budget with these tips. Problem Solved Many cruise lines offer food-and-beverage packages and other inclusive options, but only a few can accurately claim to be all-inclusive. That means everything onboard, from specialty restaurants and alcoholic beverages, to Wi-Fi and gratuities, is wrapped up into the fare. Some take it a step further, covering extras like airfare and shore excursions. All-inclusive cruises cost a pretty penny but offer ultra-pampering experiences, often on itineraries that visit lesser-traveled destinations. They also won't leave you with surprise charges on your bill. I've rounded up the best all-inclusive cruises, whether you're considering a family cruise line or a romantic getaway at sea. 1. Explora Journeys With some of the largest luxury ships at sea, Explora Journeys affords more space while upholding highly attentive, personalized service – a hallmark of all-inclusive cruises. Its all-suite ships also feel more relaxed, while three heated outdoor pools never seem to feel crowded. Explora Journeys embraces families and offers myriad kid-friendly amenities to make them feel comfortable. EXPAND YOUR OPTIONS: 12 best family cruise lines for all ages What's included: Nine dining experiences, unlimited drinks, use of the spa's thermal facilities, fitness programs, gratuities, port shuttles, Wi-Fi, and self-service laundry Family-friendly features: Nature-themed Nautilus Club for ages 5 to 17, kids' suite amenities like mini-bath robes and slippers, and excursions designed specifically for families 2. Regent Seven Seas When Regent's Seven Seas Explorer debuted in 2016, it made a splash with the 'world's most expensive suite.' The famed Regent Suite has since become even more lavish, and the line continues to expand on what it claims to be the most inclusive cruising experience, thanks to new dining venues and all-suite accommodation categories. What's included: Round-trip airfare (in business class for cruises that embark from an overseas departure port), airport-to-ship transfers, one night in a pre-cruise hotel, 24-hour room service, open bar, gratuities, Wi-Fi, laundry service, and unlimited shore excursions Family-friendly features: Supervised Club Mariner programming for age groups 5 to 8, 9 to 12, and 13 to 17, based on demand (no separate kids' club) 3. Crystal Everyone is treated like royalty on Crystal, which includes butler service as a standard for all suite categories. The all-inclusive cruise line and its two ships come with decades of stories – including ownership changes that most recently landed it in the hands of Abercrombie & Kent in 2023. Despite their older ages, the ships feel fresh and modern, with classic palatial touches. What's included: All dining (at least one complimentary reservation in each specialty restaurant), including a restaurant helmed by Michelin-Star Chef Nobu Matsuhisa; unlimited drinks; butler service; gratuities; Wi-Fi; and laundry services Family-friendly features: Waves and Fantasia kids' programming for ages 3 to 17, on select sailings, as well as babysitting services 4. Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection You can use Marriott Bonvoy points to book your cruise on a Ritz-Carlton yacht (and earn them, too), where everything is included. There are still plenty of opportunities to spend more on fine wines, a dinner and wine-pairing venue, spa treatments, and other luxuries. With shorter itineraries and a casual vibe, the ships draw more families and younger couples than other all-inclusive lines. WANDERLUST: These magical destinations are even better when visited by cruise ship What's included: All meals (except for one restaurant), most drinks, gratuities, Wi-Fi, use of the marina and watersports equipment, select fitness classes Family-friendly features: Dedicated Ritz Kids club geared toward ages 4 to 12, as well as board games, craft supplies, toys, and other family-friendly activities in the lounge 5. Seabourn Cruises All-inclusive cruises on Seabourn have a distinct country club vibe. Carrying just a few hundred passengers per ship, each of Seabourn's all-suite vessels emphasize comfort, intimacy, and perhaps most of all, food. All onboard restaurants – plus caviar and Champagne on demand – are covered. This includes The Grill by renowned celebrity chef, Thomas Keller. Seabourn also covers some excursions on its expedition cruises. What's included: All meals, unlimited drinks (including premium wine and spirits), gratuities, laundry, use of watersports equipment, some shore excursions Family-friendly features: None, but kids are welcome as long as they are at least 6 months old (or 1 year on transatlantic crossings or itineraries with more than two consecutive sea days) 6. Ecoventura The only destination-specific cruise line on this list earns recognition for its intentional inclusions that add value to the onshore experience. Ecoventura sails the Galapagos exclusively, and being Ecuadorian-founded, it brings expertise and local connections that mainstream cruise lines don't. Three 20-passenger expedition ships underpinned by Relais & Chateaux brand standards offer an intimate adventure for any age. What's included: All meals, open bar, guided shore excursions twice a day, Wi-Fi, access to two Zodiacs and a glass-bottom boat, kayaks and paddleboards, in-port transfers Family-friendly features: Onboard enrichment for families and special shore excursions designed for kids as young as 5 TODDLER TRAVEL: Calling all babies and toddlers, these are the best cruise lines and ships for kids under 5 7. Silversea Cruises If you're looking for an all-inclusive cruise that will take care of every detail from the moment you leave home until your return, then consider Silversea. Features like privately chauffeured door-to-door transfers to and from your home and butler service in every suite make for a truly effortless experience. Choose from slower-paced, luxury oceangoing ships and more adventurous expedition cruises. What's included: All meals, unlimited drinks, butler service, shore excursions, international roundtrip airfare, in-country flights (if necessary), pre- and post-cruise hotels, private chauffeur service, gratuities, and standard Wi-Fi Family-friendly features: None, though children at least 6 months old (1 year old for Silversea Expeditions) are welcome 7 best all-inclusive cruise lines in the world originally appeared on More from FamilyVacationist: The views and opinions expressed in this column are the author's and do not necessarily reflect those of USA TODAY. and are owned and operated by Vacationist Media LLC.

Final Destination Bloodlines Deaths Ranked

In case you hadn't heard, Final Destination Bloodlines is now one of the highest-grossing R-rated (and also horror) films of all time and will likely become the top-grossing of the entire franchise. And one of the reasons this latest installment in the iconic film series is such a success is the W-I-L-D deaths. Like, there are some really, really, really great ones in this film. So, we decided to rank all of the deaths in the film from "Eh, not that bad" to "Holy SHIT that was good!!!" Check it out: William (the little boy) falling to his death. Crystal: I'm very glad this happened off-camera. Honestly, was sad about this death. 1/10Darren: I'm glad this was only a premonition because I really would have been bummed to see that kid die after all that. 0/10"Holy Shit!!!" Level: .5/10 Darlene (Stefani's mom) getting crushed by a wooden post. Crystal: I don't know if it's because the scene itself was so dark and so much was going on, but this death felt like a side note. Like, it just kinda happened. 2/10Darren: I knew she was probably going to die, and it happened so quickly it was startling, but man what an uninspired kill. 1/10"Holy Shit!!!" Level: 1.5/10 All the people falling through the Skyview stairwell that collapses. Crystal: Although it's a pretty comical death (which I love), it wasn't particularly gore-y or shocking. 3/10Darren: They just don't make 'em like they used to. 2/10"Holy Shit!!!" Level: 2.5/10 All the Skyview restaurant goers burning up in a giant explosion. Crystal: This felt like a very 'catch-all' kind of death. I'll give them points for quantity, though. 4/10Darren: It had to be done. But still, better deaths to come. 3/10"Holy Shit!!!" Level: 3.5/10 The dancers falling through the broken glass floor of The Skyview and hitting support beams, the ground, etc. Crystal: As 'oh shit!!!' as this death sequence is, I wasn't really shocked by it, considering all the build-up with the glass floor cracking, etc. It's definitely an awful way to go, but not as shocking as some other deaths in the Final Destination franchise. 5/10Darren: Exactly what we expected to happen, but still didn't make it any less…fun? But this was just the beginning. 5/10"Holy Shit!!!" Level: 5/10 All the remaining people falling out of the Skyview restaurant after the explosions, etc. Crystal: Another middle-of-the-road death sequence for me. Gotta happen, though! 5/10Darren: The deaths themselves, though horrible, are unremarkable in the grand scheme of things. But 'Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head' playing on the radio below as the bodies fall was *chef's kiss*. 7/10"Holy Shit!!!" Level: 6/10 The little shit who caused the whole thing getting crushed by the piano. Crystal: Definitely the most satisfying death in the movie. What a POS, this kid. 7/10Darren: He had it coming for sure, but I can't help thinking he could've had it so much worse for setting this whole thing in motion. 5/10"Holy Shit!!!" Level: 6/10 Stefani and Charlie being crushed by logs flying off a runaway train. Crystal: IDK why I expected Stefani and Charlie to make it out of this alive. I mean, not EVERYONE dies at the end of every Final Destination film, but certainly, no one cheats death in the long run. So, in that sense, this was kind of surprising. And I did find it funny that, in the end, they were killed by logs. 6/10Darren: Hilarious. I laughed so hard at the guy nonchalantly telling Stefani, 'Well, you didn't technically die…' and me thinking, I know. They're not the "cherry on top" deaths that we deserved, but it's still good cartoonish fun. 6.5/10"Holy Shit!!!" Level: 6.25/10 The older woman catching on fire from the chef's flambe and then exploding. Crystal: This one made me laugh out of sheer horror. Like, burning to death seems like one of the worst ways to go. Sorry, ma'am. 7/10Darren: Call me a sicko, but seeing an innocent person running on fire to their demise just does it for me every time. 7/10"Holy Shit!!!" Level: 7/10 The woman getting crushed by the piano before falling to her death. Crystal: I felt really bad for this lady, LOL. Like, it's not bad enough to see your imminent death, falling out of a collapsing building, but the piano crushing her was straight out of Looney Tunes. 7/10Darren: Ah, the old getting smashed by a falling pian routine. If you look closely you will see the piano has ACME stamped on it. Not really, but not far off, right?! 7/10"Holy Shit!!!" Level: 7/10 The last dancer holding onto the glass floor, cutting his hands, and then slamming his head onto a beam Titanic-style. Crystal: This poor guy's death was a standout amongst the whole sequence of people falling through the glass. Not only was the whole hand thing brutal but to smack your head on a beam on the way down. Oof, adding insult to injury. Sorry, dude. 7/10Darren: Again, I feel like I knew what was coming, but it still hurts so good to see that poor sucker get his head used as a ping-pong ball. Also, the memories of that other poor sucker from Titanic getting similar treatment gets extra points. 8/10"Holy Shit!!!" Level: 7.5/10 The guy on fire falling out of the window of the Skyview. Crystal: This death was a little more subtle, and the fact that he fell out of the window on top of being on fire was the cherry on top. 7.5/10Darren: The only thing better than a person on fire, is one pinwheeling to their own double-demise. 8/10"Holy Shit!!!" Level: 7.75/10 Evie Bludworth (the singer) burning alive in front of a young William. Crystal: OK, the only thing worse than burning to death is burning to death in front of your own child. B-R-U-T-A-L! 8/10Darren: Well, I changed my mind, maybe seeing a person on fire IS horrible. That kid is scarred for life… even more than his mom. Too soon? 8/10"Holy Shit!!!" Level: 8/10 Young Iris having her finger degloved by her engagement ring, falling to her death, and then being impaled through the mouth. Crystal: This felt like a very classic Final Destination-style death. SUPER gory and flinch-worthy. 8/10Darren: You know, there aren't enough de-glovings represented on film. So satisfying, in a vomit-inducing way. 8/10"Holy Shit!!!" Level: 8/10 Old Iris being impaled through the back of her head by the weathervane. Crystal: I don't know how I didn't see this one coming sooner, but it was a good one. High on the gore factor and creativity, for sure. 8/10Darren: I love how death was toying with her all throughout the scene. Then, only being able to destroy her once she finally surrenders/sacrifices herself. The poetry of her being impaled through the mouth, just like in the premonition, is solid gold. 8/10"Holy Shit!!!" Level: 8/10 The restaurant host/older man getting sliced in half by the falling elevator. Crystal: Now this is the kind of death I expect to see in a Final Destination film. Shocking, gore-y, creative, and a little satisfying because that guy was rude AF. 9/10Darren: Oh boy, now we are getting into the cartoonish gore that I have come to expect from the FD series! 9/10"Holy Shit!!!" Level: 9/10 Howard (Stefani's uncle) stepping on broken glass, falling on the ground, then a rake setting off a lawnmower which drives over his face, pulverizing his head. Crystal: This was easily one of my favorite deaths in the film. Lots of nail-biting anticipation and guessing who was gonna die (and how), which makes for the best kinds of deaths. And bonus points for being a 'nod' to another lawnmower-related death in The Final Destination. 9/10Darren: This is the kind of thing FD does best. It puts all the pieces in place to make you think one thing is gonna happen, only to have something totally bat-shit random happen instead. The tension throughout was incredible. 9.5/10"Holy Shit!!!" Level: 9.25/10 Erik's fakeout death — his nose ring getting caught on a chain that gets wrapped up on a ceiling fan, then him falling into a massive fire below. Crystal: Well, there's a reason this death sequence is in the teaser trailer. It has literally every perfect element — overly elaborate chain reaction, great music, painful to watch, what more can you ask for?! BUUUT because this was a "fake out," I'm docking points a little. 9/10 Darren: The perfect Rube-Goldbergian death sequence. This is why we watch these movies. I almost felt robbed since this was showcased so prevalently in the teaser trailer, but they really redeemed themselves by making it so he did not actually die from this event, so even though we already saw all this in the trailer, it wasn't quite a spoiler. 10/10"Holy Shit!!!" Level: 9.5/10 Bobby's head being impaled by a coil from the vending machine that corkscrews through his brain. Crystal: Unexpected. Shocking. Gory. Hilarious. What's not to love? 10/10Darren: This guy got screwed! 9/10"Holy Shit!!!" Level: 9.5/10 Julia being crushed in a garbage truck after a tree trimmer falls and hits the guy with a leafblower, which blows leaves into the kids playing soccer, whose ball hits Julia, knocking her into a garbage bin that dumps her into said garbage truck. Crystal: I feel SO BAD for laughing at this death, but the fact it played out in the background (and exactly how Erik said it would) is hilarious. And never in my life would I have expected to see someone's head crushed by a trash compactor. 10/10Darren: It started off fast and comedic with her being thrown into the garbage truck, but then once she was in the compactor…seeing her head get crushed in slow real-time was so intense, disturbing, and cartoonish that it is now burned in my brain. 10/10"Holy Shit!!!" Level: 10/10 Erik's real death by being impaled and literally snapped in half by an MRI machine. Crystal: This death was SO creative. Lots of great anticipation and unexpected twists. This is definitely one I will NOT forget. And, again, more bonus points for the 10/10Darren: You can't write this shit! Oh, wait apparently you can. This is the only franchise that can get away with something so ludicrous, but still have the audience on board 100%. Everything about it is perfect, but the Prince Albert is the crowning achievement. 10/10"Holy Shit!!!" Level: 10/10 Do you agree with our ranking? Sound off in the comments below!
