Good news for "Star Wars" fans --Variety reports there's a sequel coming. This one will be animated, and reportedly a spinoff of the popular “Clone Wars” series and coming to Disney Plus sometime in 2021. Look for “Star Wars: The Bad Batch.”
While we're on streaming services, today is the day that Peacock, NBCUniversal’s new streaming service, launches nationwide. And there's literally hundreds of shows available --from TV series, to movies and one-time-only shows as well. Some of the movies include "Jurassic Park," "Do the Right Thing," "Shrek," "Scarface," the three "Bourne" movies, "The Matrix," "Frankenstein" and more. There's a price for getting everything with no commercials, but you can also pay less and get “no more than five minutes of advertising per hour.”
And there are worse things than breaking an arm or leg while playing around at home. A nine-year-old Chinese boy had to have a dart removed from his body after he inserted it into his rear "by accident" --or at least that's what he told doctors. When they arrived home, his parents rushed him to the hospital, where doctors gave him a colonoscopy and removed the five-to-seven inch dart. Doctors say his life could have been in danger if the pointy dart had pierced through his colon.
