Some Stardew Valley fans are feeling vindicated today after the game’s creator, Eric Barone, confirmed on Twitter that harvesting crops from left to right was faster than harvesting from right to left. Apparently, this bug will finally be fixed after being in the game since its launch in 2016.

Harold and the Purple Crayon is a beloved children’s book written and illustrated by Crockett Johnson about a curious four-year-old boy with a magic purple crayon that has the power to make anything he draws become real. Hollywood has been attempting to bring the story to the big screen for decades, and it seems that time has finally arrived. Sony Pictures has dropped a pair of posters for the live-action adaptation of Harold and the Purple Crayon, which stars Zachary Levi.
As you might be aware, Zachary Levi is not a four-year-old boy, so the movie is obviously switching up the story somewhat. Sony hasn’t released an official plot synopsis yet, but here’s my prediction: A now grown-up Harold has mostly forgotten about his magical purple crayon, believing it was a product of his young imagination. But when Harold finds himself in debt to the mob, he discovers that his purple crayon is actually real and might be his only way out. Some of that might not be right…
In addition to Zachary Levi, Harold and the Purple Crayon also stars Lil Rey Howery, Zooey Deschanel, Jemaine Clement, Ravi Patel, Camille Guaty, Tanya Reynolds, and Pete Gardner. The film marks the live-action directorial debut of Carlos Saldanha, who helmed a variety of animated movies for Blue Sky Studios, including Ice Age: The Meltdown, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Rio, Rio 2, and Ferdinand.
As I mentioned before, Hollywood has been attempting to bring the story to the big screen for quite some time, going all the way back to 1992 when Where the Wild Things Are writer and illustrator Maurice Sendak acquired the rights. The Nightmare Before Christmas director Henry Selick was attached to direct but ultimately departed to helm James and the Giant Peach. Spike Jonze then boarded the project with the intention of developing it as a live-action/animated hybrid, but he left as well. The project then transformed into a CGI-animated movie almost fifteen years ago but couldn’t get off the ground. We did get a short-lived animated series almost twenty-five years ago narrated by Sharon Stone for HBO Family.
Harold and the Purple Crayon is set to hit theaters on August 2nd, so we should be getting a trailer for the movie sometime soon.

After spending decades in development hell, a live-action adaptation of the Neil Gaiman comic book series The Sandman actually made it into production and was released into the world as a Netflix series in August of 2022. (Read our review HERE.) Season 2 of the show went into production last year, then had to be put on pause for a while due to the writers and actors strikes. Thankfully, The Sandman season 2 was able to resume production as soon as those strikes came to an end – and now, during an interview with Collider, cast member Kirby Howell-Baptiste has confirmed that the new episodes will bring more Death to the screen. Death being the character she plays on the show.
Of course, it wouldn’t be difficult for the new season to feature “more Death,” since Death was only in one episode of the first season. But Howell-Baptiste said that in addition to being present in more episodes, “Death is a large part of this season and there are some incredible stories with the family that I’m very, very excited for fans to see.“
Described as “a rich, character-driven blend of myth and dark fantasy”, The Sandman has the following synopsis: When the Sandman, aka Dream — the powerful cosmic being who controls all our dreams — is unexpectedly captured and held prisoner for over a century, he must journey across different worlds and timelines to fix the chaos his absence has caused.
When Netflix ordered season 2, they said, “The Sandman will return with new episodes based on multiple volumes of the Neil Gaiman graphic novel to explore even more stories of the Endless.“ For some reason, they don’t like to actually call this “season 2”, but that’s the easiest way to refer to it.
Howell-Baptiste is joined in the cast by Mason Alexander Park, Boyd Holbrook, Patton Oswalt, Vivienne Acheampong, Gwendoline Christie, Charles Dance, Jenna Coleman, David Thewlis, Stephen Fry, Donna Preston, Vanesu Samunyai (formerly known as “Kyo Ra”), John Cameron Mitchell, Asim Chaudhry, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Joely Richardson, Niamh Walsh, Sandra James Young, Razane Jammal, Mark Hamill, Indya Moore, and Tom Sturridge, who plays Dream. It has been said that, “As Dream’s wiser, nicer, and much more sensible sister in the Endless family, Death will make you rethink the ‘grim’ in Grim Reaper.“

No one ever said loving people is easy. Each person comes with their own set of challenges and unpredictabilities. Patience, tolerance, and understanding are crucial for a meaningful and beneficial bond. If you’re willing to go the distance for someone you love, the rewards can be worth every moment of frustration, heartache, and pain. Today, Bleecker Street debuted a trailer for the studio’s comedic family drama, Ezra, a touching story about fathers and sons going above and beyond the call of duty to find balance in a world designed to judge and persecute.
Ezra follows Max Bernal (Bobby Cannavale), a stand-up comedian living with his father (Robert De Niro) while struggling to co-parent his autistic son Ezra (introducing William Fitzgerald) with his ex-wife (Rose Byrne). When forced to confront difficult decisions about their son’s future, Max and Ezra embark on a cross-country road trip that has a transcendent impact on both their lives.
Directed by Tony Goldwyn (Chambers, Scandal, Justified), who also appears in the film alongside additional cast members Vera Farmiga, Rainn Wilson, and Whoopi Goldberg, Ezra is an endearing and often funny exploration of a family determined to find their way through life’s complexities with humor, compassion, and heart.
Tony Spiridakis wrote the script, while William Horberg, Jon Kilik, Tony Goldwyn, and Tony Spiridakis produced the film. Zhang Xin, Justin Baldoni, Ste Sarowitz, Andrew Calof, Jamey Heath, Manu Gargi, Robert De Niro, Bobby Cannavale, Carla Raij, Richard Lewis, Bob Xu, and Lois Robbins executive produce.
In the Ezra trailer, Bobby Cannavale delivers a commanding performance as the struggling comedian and father, Max. The film looks like a next-level opportunity for Cannavale to flex his drama muscles, with De Niro lending gravitas and legendary talent to the feature. Autism is something to be understood, not feared. There look to be some valuable lessons taught in Ezra, and I hope audiences are open to the experience.
What do you think about Bleecker Street’s Ezra trailer? Can you think of anyone you’d like to watch this movie with? When was the last time you called your dad or perhaps honored their memory? Prepare yourself for tears when Ezra arrives in theaters on May 31, 2024.
