Al Scramuzza, the ‘Crawfish King' and a New Orleans Folk Hero, Dies at 97
Approximately 330 million years ago, a creature completely void of charisma called the crawfish evolved to live inconspicuously in the mud at the bottom of swamps. And approximately 329.9999 million years after that, a second creature came along that was pretty much the opposite: a swaggering, wide-smiling showman who got famous boiling and selling the first.

Mikey Madison and Kirsten Dunst Dive Into the Dark Waters of REPTILLIA About a "Seductive Mermaid" — GeekTyrant
Mikey Madison has found her next film project after her Oscar-winning turn in Anora , and she's plunging headfirst into some wild territory. Madison is set to star alongside Kirsten Dunst in Reptilia , the next feature from filmmaker Alejandro Landes Echavarría ( Monos ). Reptilia follows a dental hygienist who becomes entangled with a seductive mermaid and spirals into the 'dark and wet underworld' of Florida's shadowy, swampy exotic animal trade. Mermaids, molars, and morally murky waters. This sounds like it'll be a wild and unhinged movie, and production kicks off this fall with a lineup Reptilia marks another major move for Madison. She swept awards season with Anora , winning five Oscars including Best Actress, along with a BAFTA and Independent Spirit Award. She also snagged nominations from the Golden Globes, SAG, and Critics Choice. Fans will also recognize her from Scream 5 , FX's Better Things , and her scene-stealing performance in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood . Then there's Dunst, another acting heavyweight with a history of haunting, offbeat performances. With Madison's momentum and Dunst's gravitas, Reptilia could be a dark fantasy worth checking out.
