Rocky V (1990) might be uneven, but that flashback with Burgess Meredith makes the whole movie worth it. Mickey telling Rocky “get up, you son of a bitch, ’cause Mickey loves ya” still hits harder than anything else in the film.
When you’ve fought tooth and nail to survive the jungle, only to watch Spanish conquistadors and floating ships arrive on the shore and completely change the course of history.
Apocalypto
The warriors of the Airborne Assault Forces distinguished themselves through their heroism back in the battles following the start of Russian aggression in 2014. Operations in Slovyansk, Kramatorsk, Shakhtarsk, Debaltseve, Lyman, at Savur-Mohyla, and in other parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Battles at the Donetsk and Luhansk airports. Raiding operations behind enemy lines.
After the start of Russia’s full-scale aggression, Ukraine’s Airborne Assault Forces, became one of the pillars of the defense of our independence and the justified return of the war to Russia. The paratroopers took part in the defense of Kyiv, the defense of Mykolaiv, and the most difficult battles in the Donetsk and Kharkiv regions. Thank you for the Kharkiv offensive operation. Thank you for liberating the right-bank part of our Kherson region. In 2024, Ukraine carried out our Kursk operation, involving, among others, the Airborne Assault Forces. For the first time, this operation brought ground combat onto Russian territory.
This year, our Airborne Assault Forces units carried out a successful offensive operation in the Oleksandrivskyi sector, and this has already returned more than 800 square kilometers of our land to Ukraine.
All of these are extremely significant chapters in the war for Ukraine’s independence. Today, I honored our paratroopers with Ukraine’s state awards and presented military units with a battle flag and a ribbon bearing an honorary designation. Thank you. We are proud of you.
The Brazilian version of “They Don’t Care About Us” (directed by Spike Lee in 1996) was filmed in the Santa Marta favela in Rio de Janeiro and in Pelourinho in Salvador. The Rio government tried to ban the filming, fearing it would expose poverty to the world. Residents of the favela and the local drug traffickers authorized and protected the set. Michael arrived by helicopter, interacted with the community and children and danced with the Olodum group (a large ensemble of samba-reggae percussionists).
The video became a powerful symbol of protest and, according to residents and later accounts, helped draw international attention to the favela and contributed to its visibility and subsequent improvements.
The losing streak is over.
Maryland football defeated Purdue, 34-29, on the road Saturday, giving interim coach Aazaar Abdul-Rahim his first victory. Quarterback Malik Washington accounted for four touchdowns and completed 13 of 18 passes for 253 yards, while DeJuan Williams broke free for a 75-yard touchdown run as the Terps ended a 13-game Big Ten losing streak dating to September 2025.
With three games remaining against Wisconsin, USC and Penn State, Maryland’s bowl hopes remain alive if the team wins out. Two more victories would also earn Abdul-Rahim a $100,000 contract bonus.
In an awkward transition following Maryland's 34-29 win at Purdue, BTN interviewed jubilant interim coach Aazaar Abdul-Rahim, who then got a Gatorade bath and was carried off the field. Then they cut to the man he replaced, Mike Locksley, at his new gig.
