Late Fame. Top Story - September 2026.
My sister once told me that she couldn’t watch a film with Leonardo Di Caprio because his face annoyed her. She found his eyes scary and he reminded her of a school bully. I thought this frankly ridiculous. DiCaprio can act and his environmental activism should help secure a future for the planet his girlfriends will live on.

Did You Ever Hear...?
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? How about the Tale of the Three Brothers? Perhaps the myth of Te Fiti rings a bell? Or maybe you have heard the song of Beren and Lúthien sung into the night sky? Chances are, you have heard at least one of them. What is certain, however, is that you have never heard it alone. Even when by yourself, you have always heard these stories in the company of the characters they were being told to — the same characters, whose own myths you were watching unfold. And thus, the line between fiction, reality, myth and history begins to blur.
