You might not think about them while actually watching, but it’s hard to deny that the posters for the Star Wars movies play some kind of role in making the series such an iconic one. Broadly, posters matter for any movie (perhaps more so in a pre-internet age, when you might not see any promotional material outside posters or trailers), and it obviously helps to have such images be eye-catching, intriguing, and reflective of the movie in some way or another.

In a paper published today in Scientific Reports, we used nearly 1,000 film photographs of Antarctica from the 1960s to reconstruct exactly what five glaciers were like decades before the Larsen B Ice Shelf collapsed. This allowed us to precisely calculate their contribution to sea-level rise.

The color yellow is gorgeous, eye-catching, and downright happy for most people. So much so that it's the main hue in the world-famous happy face—but science says it's not the best color to wear on a date.

One year before the James Bond franchise made a major comeback with Pierce Brosnan’s GoldenEye, James Cameron decided to turn Arnold Schwarzenegger into a secret agent in True Lies. Just two years after Terminator 2: Judgment Day, the idea of selling Arnold to audiences as a kind of tongue-in-cheek 007 figure was risky as hell. In the days before the first Tom Cruise Mission: Impossible, and on the eve of Bond’s comeback in the Brosnan-era, an espionage action movie of this type wasn’t necessarily a slam-dunk. But, what made True Lies click was that it wasn’t a straight-up Bond knock-off. Instead — riffing off of a French film called La Totale! — Cameron took an over-the-top spy movie and turned it, partially, into a rom-com.
