Students Cosplay as Star Wars Characters, Memes for Hilarious High School ID Photos
Dressing up in costume used to just be for Halloween. Now, cosplay is becoming part of American culture, with fans dressing up for comic conventions like Comic-Con International, AnimeExpo, and E3. However, this trend doesn’t just extend to conventions, as even high schools are beginning to embrace the cosplay movement.
For instance, North Farmington High School in Farmington Hills, Mich. has started a fun tradition. Every year, for the last three years, they encourage students to dress up as their favorite actor, musician, or meme. The students pick their favorite outfits and dress up to get their student ID photos taken.

Lucy in the Sky Review
This is an advance review out of the Toronto International Film Festival. Lucy in the Sky opens in the US on Oct. 4 and in the UK on Dec. 6.
“I am alone now. Truly alone, and absolutely isolated from any known life.” Those words were attributed to Apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins – the one who didn’t walk on the moon – and are referenced during Lucy in the Sky, as a way of summing up the existential crisis being experienced by the film’s title character.
For this is the story of those remarkable folk who reach for the stars, orbit the planet, then return to earth with a thud; struggling to come to terms with a world that suddenly seems so small. Legion and Fargo showrunner Noah Hawley’s directorial debut – from a Brian C. Brown and Elliott DiGuiseppi script that he retooled – works when examining the psychological fallout from such a trip. However, when combined with a lurid tale ripped directly from the headlines – Lucy in the Sky is “inspired by real events” – the movie slips into melodrama.

Madden NFL 20 Repeats as August 2019’s Best-Selling Game
Madden NFL 20 is the best-selling game of August 2019, repeating its victory after being the top-selling game in July of this year, while also becoming the seventh yearly Madden entry in a row to top the charts in August.
As reported by the NPD Group, Madden is now the third-best-selling game of 2019, trailing behind Kingdom Hearts III and Mortal Kombat 11. Minecraft, interestingly, had its all-time high placement on the NPD best-sellers chart, coming in as the second-best-selling game for the month of August.
Our Madden NFL 20 review said this year’s entry had some of the best moment-to-moment gameplay in the series. However, our reviewer found other parts like the Franchise mode to be somewhat lacking.
The Goldfinch Review
Compelling adaptation of Donna Tartt’s bestseller, though one that might have been better served as a mini-series.
