COLUMBIA, Mo. – Two years after a horrific hazing incident left a University of Missouri-Columbia freshman blind and unable to talk or walk, 16 fraternities at the university have produced and released a video designed to reduce and prevent future tragedies.The video, called "Arm Yourself to Say No," will be shown to incoming pledges, fraternity members, officers, and other student groups during the fall semester.“Although aspects of the video are emotionally charged, the aim of the production is to effect a change in behavior among the groups to which it is targeted," said Bob Selsor, president of the Mizzou Greek Alliance. The 26-minute video shows the dangers of hazing and the consequences for those who participate in such behavior.The Mizzou Greek Alliance was formed in 2022 by 16 campus fraternities to enrich the experience of Greek student life, foster safe practices within the organizations, advocate campus-wide support for fraternities by modernizing their culture and promot...

It’s difficult. It’s tough. You get up in the morning, it’s unpleasant, and yet, I think I have pretty good instincts relative to how to approach the team and how to guide the team relative to the next challenge.“And that’s what we’...

The outlet calls Johnson the world's highest-paid actor due to big films like "Black Adam" and "Red Notice."Oprah is worth $2.5 billion, according to the site.

The Exorcist: Believer— Possessed by Dollar Signs

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:56:59 GMT

After four dreary sequels, it’s about time someone put an end to the Exorcist franchise. The series kicked off with a delightful nightmare that turned heads around the country, but then came a string of misfires that weren’t so much scary as terrifyingly silly, which seems to be a common theme amongst horror classics. You thought Texas Chainsaw Massacre was spooky? Here comes four more installments that are far less effective. Director David Gordon Green tries to hide this franchise’s sequel/reboot skeletons in the closet with The Exorcist: Believer, but he ends up adding one more corpse to a mountainous pile.The film is a textbook example of how studios continue to churn out worthless reboots, taking game changers and stretching them into legacy sequels that bare none of the qualities that made the first entry a success. It doesn’t matter if the camera doesn’t glide, if the mood doesn’t chill or the art-house sensibilities are gone, as long as au...
