  An attention-grabbing discussion is price comment. I feel that you should write more on this topic, it won't be a taboo subject but typically individuals are not sufficient to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers

  Woah! I'm really loving the template/theme of this blog.
  It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's challenging to get that "perfect balance" between usability and
  appearance. I must say that you've done a amazing job with
  this. Also, the blog loads super quick for me on Chrome.
  Outstanding Blog!

  Joker: Folie À Deux is heading to streaming, just weeks after its theatrical release. 
  
  The movie, starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga,
  will be available to rent from home starting October 29, in an effort to recoup some of Warner Bros.
  investment into the film, as per Variety.
  
  The musical, which bombed at the box office, is 'poised
  to lose at least $150 million to $200 million in its theatrical run' according to the publication.
  
  The movie studio spent about $200 million to produce the film and about $100 million on marketing and distribution, according to the report.
  
  
  It would need to gross about $450 million at the box office to
  break even — when factoring in the cut taken by theaters — though Warner Bros.
  sources claim the number is $375 million.

  Terrifier 3 dethrones Joker: Folie À Deux as box office champ
  
  
  A Warner Bros. spokesperson responded to the report, saying 'Any estimates suggested by anonymous "insiders" or "rival executives"
  are grossly wrong and continues a trend where rumor is reported as fact.'
  
  'The film continues to play in theatrical release, included with
  this week's opening in China, and will continue to earn revenue throughout its home viewing and ancillary run.'
  
  So far, the musical about Batman's nemesis has grossed $51.5 million domestically and $165
  million globally after two weeks of release.
  
  
  In comparison, the first Joker grossed $96.2 million domestically and $248.4 million globally after three days of release.
  
  
  
  The hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2019 billion dollar
  Oscar-winning film was considered a surefire hit for Warner Bros Pictures, yet ended up
  being slammed by critics and failed to ignite at the box office. 
  
  Joker: Folie À Deux has garnered the lowest CinemaScore in comic book movie history as the film bombed at
  the box office on opening night. 
  
  The psychological musical thriller — which has been criticized as 'bleak' and 'disappointing' — officially
  released in theaters on Friday, October 4.
  
  Phoenix reprised his role as the Joker in the sequel, which
  had earned him an Oscar for his portrayal in the 2019 film, while Gaga took
  on the role of Harleen Lee Quinzel (Harley Quinn).
  
  However, Joker: Folie À Deux has been given a D rating on CinemaScore — the lowest score for a comic book movie.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  The movie will be available to rent from home starting October 29, in an effort to recoup some of
  Warner Bros. investment into the film, according to Variety

  while Gaga took on the role of Harleen Lee Quinzel (Harley Quinn)
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Madame Web — which notably also flopped in theaters earlier
  this year and also received terrible reviews
  — holds a higher score with a C+.
  
  On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie currently holds an audience score of 31% and a critic score of 32%.
  
  
  The sequel has been roundly criticized for being a musical and 'ignoring' the DC fanbase - with an agent familiar with director Todd Phillips' process telling Variety he 'wanted nothing to do with
  DC' during the making of the film, with DC bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran notably absent from the film's LA premiere afterparty last
  month. 
  
  A source said: 'If the first movie was about some down-on-his-luck, mentally ill
  guy in a downtrodden city, it makes maybe $150
  [million] worldwide. Not a billion. People showed up because that
  guy was Joker.'
  
  In an apparent snub by Phillips, the opening sequence of the film
  does not include a DC Studios logo.
  
  A Warner spokesman added that a DC logo appears at the end of the Joker sequel, while
  Phillips declined to comment to the publication.
  
  Several frictions are said to have developed between Phillips, DC and Warner-
  with claims that Michael DeLuca, Chairperson of Warner Bros.
  
  Entertainment, and CEO Pamela Abdy seemed 'unwilling' to say no to Phillips
  due to his huge past successes.
  
  It is claimed Phillips would 'only' speak with DeLuca and Abdy rather than Gunn and Safran - who took control
  of DC two months before production began on Joker 2 in December 2022.
  
  
  Gunn and Safran did attend the first director's cut
  screening for the studio but Phillips fueled rift speculation when he told a reporter:
  'With all due respect to them, this is kind of a
  Warner Bros. movie.'
  
  Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav also met with Phillips shortly after
  WarnerMedia and Discovery merged in April 2022
  and was 'open to filming in Los Angeles if the director would make the sequel at a lower
  price point.'
  
  The studio wanted to film in London which would have cost around
  20 per cent less.
  
  
  
  
  A source directly involved with the film recently shared: 'The one
  thing about genre stuff: If you don't listen and pay attention to
  what the fan expectations are, you're going to fail'; director Todd Phillips seen with Gaga
  and Phoenix at the LA premiere September 30
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  However, Phillips insisted on filming in LA with the budget
  remaining static.
  
  A Warner spokesman told the publication the studio 'supported the
  decision to film in Los Angeles'.
  
  A source directly involved with the film said: 'No one could get through to Todd.
  And the one thing about genre stuff: If you don't
  listen and pay attention to what the fan expectations are, you're going to fail.
  
  
  Insiders also claim studio bosses did not want to premiere the film at the Venice Film Festival, but Phillips pushed back
  - with a Warner spokesman saying the studio 'fully supported the decision to bring the film to Venice. 
  
  Along with Gaga and Phoenix, other stars that had
  appeared in the sequel include Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener,
  Zazie Beatz and Steve Coogan.

  Bright and early, my old friend, the beauty and wellness entrepreneur Liz Earle, is standing at my
  door clutching a Kilner jar with what looks like a small sponge floating in murky water.
  
  
  'I made kombucha for you,' she says with an enthusiasm I
  don't entirely share.
  
  (The sponge, it turns out, is the Scoby, or 'symbiotic culture
  of bacteria and yeast', which is what's used to ferment sweetened tea to make kombucha.
  I don't realise at the time, but this hideous thing takes weeks to develop and is in fact a very generous gift.)
  
  The truth is, I'd drink (almost) anything if it gave me Liz's
  zip. At 61, a mother of five and a new grandmother, she honestly looks 20 years
  younger. Fans of her YouTube channel and her 170,000 Instagram followers will know how
  bright and smooth her skin is, but in person she is fizzing with energy, too.
  
  
  Liz and I have been friends for 25 years - over which time she has somehow seemed to gain in vitality as I, nine years her junior,
  have... well, deflated.
  
  
  
  
  Beauty and wellness entrepreneur Liz Earle, right, and Beatrice Aidin met back in the
  1990s when they were both beauty journalists
  
  So here's my plan. I am going to Live Like Liz for a full eight weeks, morning to
  night, to see just how much I, too, can turn back the clock.
  
  
  I am going to eat, drink and exercise like Liz, 'ground myself' in a flower bed in my pyjamas
  like her, and even tape up my mouth à la
  Liz. From my gut to my hormones, my brain to the very
  cells of my skin, I will follow the 'bio-hacks' set out in her
  new book A Better Second Half: Dial Back Your Age To Live A Longer,
  Healthier, Happier Life, which swiftly became a bestseller
  on its release this year.
  
  Liz says it can't fail, so long as I commit to it.
  
  'Who's to say we can't or shouldn't change the way we age?' she asks.
  
  
  'I was stronger, fitter and more capable in my 50s than I was in my 40s, so why can't I be even more so in my 60s,
  70s and beyond?'
  
  Perhaps more significantly, after the 'car crash of emotional wreckage' caused by
  the breakdown of her second marriage, and the divorce she went through in 2020, she now says: 'I'm happier at 61 than I was at 40.'
  
  Career-wise, it shows. When we met back in the 1990s we were both beauty journalists.
  At launches for new products, I'd merrily down the free Krug while Liz sipped sparkling water.
  'Ah Bea, you were the yin to my yang,' she says.
  
  
  Now, her wellness empire has mushroomed... and I'm suffering major work anxiety,
  a not-unrelated financial crisis and severe sciatica.
  
  Frankly, I look and feel knackered. My skin is dull and I have dark circles under my eyes.
  Physical pain interferes with my sleep, and I've been turning rather
  too readily to the sauvignon blanc to help me nod off.
  
  
  Food is not a priority: I'm either not interested or craving sugar,
  which means I'm a good 10lb heavier than I should be.
  
  
  
  So, can living like my rather fabulous friend make me feel as young as she looks?
  More to the point - can I really stick to it, kombucha and all?
  
  
  'Come on Bea, get off your backside!' Liz demands...
  
  
  
  
  
  Liz (left) puts Beatrice through her paces in the gym. Beatrice needs extra help with exercise because of
  her sciatica
  
  
  Week one: I face up to my middle-age spread
  Liz's top-line diet philosophy is high-protein, low carb, meaning
  she's a fan of lots of foods I love but didn't think I should eat: butter,
  unprocessed meat, avocados, good quality cheese, taramasalata and thick Greek yoghurt.
  
  
  High protein helps us 'shift to a leaner, more toned shape,
  and lose that middle-aged spread,' she says.
  
  Timing matters. Liz eats two meals a day - brunch around 11am and dinner at 7pm.
  The order matters too: clear your plate of chicken before rice, because eating protein before carbs keeps
  blood sugar levels stable.
  
  In recent years she has increased her coffee intake (before 2pm) because studies show four to five cups is 'strongly
  associated with living longer' thanks to the bioactives in coffee beans such as
  chlorogenic acid.
  
  She eats wheatgerm, soya beans and nuts to up her intake of spermidine
  - a dietary molecule that interacts with our DNA
  and mimics an anti-ageing process called autophagy, which de-ages us at a cellular
  level.
  
  Alcohol is basically a no-no. Liz has the 'occasional glass' of wine or tequila, but never more
  than two and never alone.
  
  I chuck out the ready meals and plonk, roll up my sleeves and
  start cooking from scratch. I grill venison, roast a chicken and make soups with the leftovers.
  
  
  Eating at specific times works for me - I'm never very hungry first thing -
  and enjoying the protein part of each meal first means I'm fuller and find it easy to cut back on my carb portions.
  
  
  Gut health is a big focus, which means more
  fermented foods. Much to my surprise, I love
  the kombucha and soon start to brew my own using Liz's Scoby.
  But homemade kimchi - fermented veg - is a harder sell. When a lunch guest asks
  me why I'm forcing myself to eat something I dislike so much, I
  reply solemnly: 'Liz told me to.'
  
  Week two: I discover I can do only 3 press-ups
  I really need help with exercise because sciatica means my normal routine has
  gone to pot.
  
  Thankfully, Liz reckons just ten minutes a day of exercises such as squats, lunges and
  press-ups is more valuable in the long term than a high-intensity
  gym session once a week or a long park run.
  
  She introduces me to her personal trainer, Michael Garry, who delivers the (bombshell, but
  welcome) news that running any distance over 5k can 'start to have negative effects' on our immune system and
  bone strength. If you're a runner, make it harder by speeding up your time, not increasing your distance.
  
  
  At Michael's insistence, I consult a physio about my sciatica,
  and then he devises a daily regime for me.
  I try press-ups and make it to three. Mortifying.
  Perseverance is clearly key. As are weights, especially in your 50s.
  'The more muscle you have, the more your bones are protected from osteoporosis, especially during midlife,' says Michael.
  
  
  
  
  
  For cardio, says Beatrice, I keep swimming twice a week.
  But instead of plodding up and down the pool,
  I start to compete with myself, speeding up the laps
  
  For my slack and flabby upper arms, he advises shoulder
  presses and hammer curls, with 3kg weights in both hands. I try tricep dips off a chair, and quickly find I can increase my reps - until by week
  four I'm doing two sets of 15.
  
  I work out three times a week at home. At first
  the routine takes 40 minutes but the more I do,
  the faster I do it, until the whole thing - stretching, press-ups, weights - takes just 20 minutes.
  
  
  
  For cardio, I keep swimming twice a week. But instead of plodding up and down the
  pool, I start to compete with myself, speeding up the laps.
  
  
  
  Week three: I slow the hormonal roller coaster
  I'm menopausal and already on HRT, but I know I
  could improve how I feel, which is sluggish and foggy.
  
  
  Liz introduces me to something called the 'estrobolome'
  - the specific collection of bacteria in the gut that influences how our body uses oestrogen. Put
  simply, some microbes improve the efficiency with which oestrogen reaches tissues around the body, meaning we
  use our dwindling supplies more effectively.
  
  The best way to support your estrobolome is by eating fibre from
  veg, seeds and nuts, plus some of the low-sugar fruits such as apples, berries and plums.
  
  Back to the supermarket I go.
  
  To boost the happy hormone serotonin, my saintly mentor insists I
  finish my morning shower with a minimum 60-second blast of icy cold water, resulting - she claims - in a 'post-shock high' and 'genuine glow'.
  
  
  Hmmm. I find it hard to relinquish the comfort of a hot shower and feel
  not happy but mutinous as I step out of the bathroom shivering.
  
  
  Week four: I stand in the flower bed
  Living Like Liz means getting outside first thing in the morning and standing barefoot on the grass.
  
  'Grounding' apparently enables electrons from the surface of the Earth to transmit deep into the body,
  'where they have an anti-inflammatory effect'.
  
  
  Liz tells me she does this in the tranquil grounds of her glorious pile in the West Country.
  I do it in a flower bed in my shared patio, still in my
  pyjamas, and feel, well, very self-conscious. Later I graduate to the
  park, and - look away now - tread in dog mess, which
  does not improve my emotional wellbeing.
  
  She also encourages us to keep a Five Minute Gratitude Journal twice a day.
  'Gratitude is... a superpower that improves longevity and supports the immune system,' she says.
  
  
  I can't help but think my better-off mate has rather a lot more to smile about than me but, following instructions, I write down three things I am grateful for
  every morning, and every night a short list of 'good things'
  that happened that day, plus another (longer) list of 'things that are concerning me'.
  
  
  My scepticism around gratitude slowly lifts as I find
  it does make me realise what's important and what's not.
  It helps me see that things are a lot brighter than I thought.
  Packing in a rush for a weekend away, I
  can't find my journal and am surprised by how bereft I feel without it.
  
  
  Week five: I start to sleep well
  I'm a night owl - I stay up too late watching TV and end up hitting my
  snooze button past 8.30am... and occasionally edging towards
  10am.
  
  Liz reckons anyone can improve their sleep if they follow her routine, which
  means setting an evening alarm for 9pm - to remind yourself to start
  'winding down for bed'.
  
  Emails, social media and TV are switched off, replaced
  by a printed book or a podcast. She takes 120g of magnesium glycinate in a
  milky drink half an hour before bed (and stops eating two hours before).
  
  
  
  
  
  Living Like Liz means getting outside first thing in the morning 
  
  Liz wears a bamboo fibre nightie or pyjamas to keep warm because she
  sleeps with an open window, which she covers with blackout blinds and curtains, and sprinkles
  her pillow with a few drops of neat lavender essential
  oil.
  
  I'm an e-book reader, so already failing at this routine.
  Still, I leave my phone charging in the kitchen and buy
  a regular alarm clock. The lavender oil makes me sneeze,
  so I spray my pillows with C. Atherley Geranium Spray instead. 
  
  Oh, and I tape my lips up - Liz shows me how when she delivers the kombucha.
  
  Forcing yourself to breathe through your nose is said to
  promote more restful sleep.
  
  All of this is time-consuming and takes practise, but I find the ritual soothing.
  Five weeks in, I'm getting to sleep earlier than I have for years - at 10.30pm after 20 minutes drop-off time -and waking at 7.30am.
  
  How virtuous!
  
  Week six: I crash off the wagon
  I'm doing my best, but then I go for lunch with a friend who chirpily suggests a glass of wine, which turns into a bottle.
  And then a second. Later, with a daytime hangover, I head
  to M&S and find reduced dauphinoise potatoes, which become dinner. 
  
  Liz has got me on a blood sugar tracker called Lingo (£289 for two months - you jab a biosensor the
  size and shape of a plastic bottle top into your upper
  arm, and then link it to an app on your phone), which shows a massive post-potato
  spike and then a huge slump, which makes me tired and irritable.
  Who knew that such deliciousness had such a high glycaemic load?
  
  
  
  I call Liz to 'fess up. 'I have the odd day when I lie in, eat too much cake and drink too much tequila,' she says.
  'But that's fine because you then know what to do to put
  it right. It's not about being perfect.' Phew!
  
  Week seven: I tackle my financial mess
  Re-reading my journal really helps here. By documenting what I was so worried about day by day,
  my perspective on it changes.
  
  Here, in black and white, is a record of how I felt at the start of this project and how I've evolved.
  
  
  I've come unstuck - in a good way. I'm not going to pretend it's been easy because change
  is uncomfortable, but I realise there's simply nothing to be gained from the worry spiral.
  
  
  If freelance life is tough, and my income erratic, I'm going to do something about it.
  Buoyed with the confidence that comes with action,
  I apply for part-time admin jobs. As personal trainer Michael observes as we work out
  on Zoom, I wouldn't have done this before. He's right.
  
  Finally I've started to take control.
  
  Week eight: And the winner is...
  So how have eight weeks of Living Like Liz changed me?
  
  Physically, I'm in much better shape. I've lost 7 lb and taken an extraordinary 5 in off my waist and 11 in off my body as
  a whole.
  
  Those three pathetic press-ups have become a whopping 40 per workout, and the measly 3kg weights are now 6kg, meaning I have
  proper bicep definition. The sleeveless tops will be coming out again this party season.

  Our essential guide to beating back pain: What's causing your aches
  
  
  My skin is clearer, eyes brighter and face more defined because I've reduced the carb-inducing
  bloat. I'm sleeping better and feeling infinitely less anxious.
  
  
  Most remarkably - and this is really life-changing
  - my sciatica is almost gone and I can come off strong painkillers.
  I know sciatica can disappear of its own accord,
  but the timing is surely no coincidence. All those exercises have strengthened
  the muscles around my spine and buttocks and I'm convinced
  it's done the trick.
  
  I meet Liz for lunch, nervous about whether she'll see a difference.
  'Oh wow,' she says, taking a good look at her pupil. 'Those arms!
  You definitely look younger.'
  
  We chat for a while and she adds: 'You also seem more content and optimistic.
  You have an inner glow and a halo of positivity.'
  
  Well, yes, she would say that, wouldn't she?
  (Probably. Though Liz is known for her candour, so it's not a given.) 'I wasn't sure you were
  going to prioritise yourself enough and commit,' she admits 'You weren't an easy nut to crack so
  I'm thrilled.'
  
  I'm delighted with my gold star. And I'm grateful to her,
  which is one of the key lessons I've learned.
  Gratitude makes everything feel better.
  
  That - along with the kombucha, ice-cold showers (which I have learned to love) and
  the odd tequila - are the habits I'll hold on to. But not (shudder!)
  the kimchi or flower beds.
  
  As Liz says, everyone deserves to have a better second half
  - and if I can do it, anyone can.
