Hayley Williams Drops Surprise Collection Of 17 New Singles After Mysterious Website Teasing
Last Updated: Hayley Williams officially released a surprise collection of 17 new singles after posting and deleting them from a website. Singer and songwriter Hayley Williams released a series of singles on her website earlier this week. Mysteriously, soon after users began navigating the site, the Paramore lead vocalist removed the tracks, sparking curiosity among fans. Now, the 36-year-old has officially released the songs, leaving music enthusiasts shaken by their meanings. On August 1, Hayley Williams dropped the surprise collection of 17 singles, after initially sharing, and then deleting, them from a previously launched website. The album, self-released under her new venture Post Atlantic, is produced by Daniel James, known for his work on Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (2015), Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War (2020), and Terminator Genisys (2015). The collection is being distributed via Secretly Distribution. The rock band artiste's collection of singles also features a few collaborators. These include Brian Robert Jones, Paramore's touring rhythm guitarist, and Joey Howard, who joined the band's touring lineup after bassist Jeremy Davis departed in 2015. One of the 17 tracks, titled True Believer, was written, recorded and performed almost entirely by Williams herself, with additional contributions from musician and DJ Jim-E Stack. Other notable tracks from the collection include: • Mirtazapine: According to the Hard Times hitmaker, this grunge-inspired ode to mental health and antidepressants debuted at the Newport Folk Festival during her surprise appearance. • True Believer: A downtempo protest song that critiques how Christianity in the American South is often weaponised to spread hate. • Ice in My OJ: Features a chorus originally sung by Williams in 2004 on Jumping Inside by the Mammoth City Messengers. When Hayley Williams Shared And Deleted The Songs From A Website On July 28, Hayley Williams had dropped the 17 songs on a cryptic website with the message, 'Thank you for listening." Users and fans were also granted access to the site with an access code from the singer's Good Dye Young hair dye brand, a 'Misc" folder with a photo of a lyric book, and a 'Hayley Williams is my favourite band" T-shirt. But roughly a day later, she removed them without giving any clarification. Look Into Hayley Williams' Solo Music Career The Paramore lead vocalist previously won hearts with two solo albums: 2020's Petals For Armor and 2021's Flowers for Vases and three EPs.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Reveals ‘Terminator' Movie He Thought Was The Worst By Far
Arnold Schwarzenegger didn't need to be a robot in real life to automatically name the worst 'Terminator' movie. (Watch the video below.) The actor and former California governor, who first played the cyborg assassin in the 1984 original, was asked by a viewer to decide among the franchise's six entries on 'Watch What Happens Live' Monday. 'I would say the worst was probably the No. 4 because that was done during the time I was governor and I was not in it,' he said. 'Does that make sense? How do you do 'Terminator' movie without me being in a 'Terminator' movie, right? Doesn't make any sense.' That film would be 'Terminator Salvation' (2009), with Christian Bale at the top of the marquee. The film proved to be a relative box office and critical dud, and 'killed' the future of the franchise, at least according to one outlet. Host Andy Cohen asked him if he used his power of office to complain. 'I called immediately,' Schwarzenegger replied. 'I said I'm gonna pass a law. Is it forbidden to do movies that suck? ... Yeah, of course. It's a no-brainer.' Schwarzenegger reappeared in the series in 2015's 'Terminator Genisys,' which outgrossed 'Salvation' by about $432 million to about $356 million, respectively. 'Terminator: Dark Fate' (2019) was Schwarzenegger's last installment, earning decent reviews but disappointing box office.

'Unmatched' 80s action movie with 100% rating now available on streaming
An action movie cinephiles have long declared a timeless classic has finally landed on streaming platforms. With a 100% critics rating on review site Rotten Tomatoes, it really doesn't get better than that, as adjectives thrown around to describe it include 'suspenseful,' 'dark,' and 'exciting.' We are, of course, talking about The Terminator. Released in 1984 with Arnold Schwarzenegger taking the lead, the action/sci-fi flick has definitely stood the test of time. It might surprise you to learn that expectations weren't high pre-release, but the first in the Terminator franchise went on to top the US box office for two weeks, eventually grossing $78.3million against a $6.4million budget. Fast forward four decades, and the movie is still just as loved, director James Cameron sitting comfortably at icon status, and Schwarzenegger now one of the most respected action stars in the business. It was The Terminator that initially cemented his leading man capabilities, of course, including the 'I'll be back' catchphrase associated with his character, now so famous it has its own Wikipedia page. Plot-wise, the original Terminator movie follows a cyborg assassin from the future (Schwarzenegger), who attempts to find and kill Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton), a waitress destined to give birth to a man who will save humankind from extinction. After the first film, the franchise released a further five epic instalments: Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Terminator Salvation, Terminator Genisys, and Terminator: Dark Fate. However, you really can't beat the original. So, you'll be pleased to discover that you can relive the magic, as The Terminator is available to watch on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV. Writing on RT, Sharai Bohannon says: 'Easily one of James Cameron's best films and the perfect blend of horror, action, and 80s vibes. It still packs so much adrenaline and reminds us why retro sci-fi is unmatched.' Fellow critic Deborah Ross adds: 'It's engrossing, suspenseful, has a personality all of its own and absolutely stands the test of time.' 'Perhaps no other villain of the 80s is as iconic as Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator', declared Howard Waldstein. 'It's a powerhouse sci-fi action adventure which is undeniably the most thrill-packed movie- going experience for ages', agrees Alan Jones. 'A fantastic blend of horror, action, and sci-fi', states Sean Chandler. As you might presume, the sequels struggled to shine in the shadow of The Terminator's shadow, with Judgment Day earning a 91% score but Rise of the Machines dropping to 70%. Terminator Salvation, released in 2009, has a Rotten Tomatoes score of just 33%, while Terminator Genisys (2015) has 26%. Thankfully, things picked up a bit for the concluding film, 2019's Terminator: Dark Fate has a 70% score on Rotten Tomatoes. It's fair to say the franchise has been well and truly milked for all its worth, as, from 2008 to 2009, there was even a TV show, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. More Trending As for Schwarzenegger, now aged 77, the former Governor of California became an actor after retiring from bodybuilding and has a Golden Globe and a Primetime Emmy to his name. He had a pacemaker fitted last year after previously undergoing three open-heart surgeries, forcing him to take a step back. However, he told fans to expect his return to film his project at the time, FUBAR, season 2, proving that, all this time later, he's still living up to that catchphrase. The Terminator is available to watch on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV. Got a story?

Another Simple Favor review — Blake Lively at her best in silly sequel
The fun-filled summer vacays have arrived early with this gloriously silly sequel about murder, wealth porn and the inviolable, effervescent chemistry of Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick. The pair are back from the original 2018 hit, reprising their roles as the devious suburban femme-fatale Emily Nelson (Lively) and the 'author, private detective and mommy influencer' Stephanie Smothers (Kendrick). This time round Emily has been sprung from prison by her Italian Mob boss fiancé, Dante (Michele Morrone), and has browbeaten the resentful Stephanie into attending her lavish, White Lotus-style nuptials in Capri. Once on the island the bodies start to pile up and the outré screenplay from Laeta Kalogridis (Terminator Genisys) and Jessica Sharzer (Nerve) throws everything but the luxe porcelain
