(REUTERS) “The bombing at an Islamabad mosque earlier today is condemnable and India condoles the loss of life it has caused,” said the ministry of external affairs, hours after the blast. Further, India also rejected Pakistani defence minister Khawaja Asif’s implication that some other country was involved in the attack. “It is unfortunate that, instead of seriously addressing the problems plaguing its social fabric, Pakistan should choose to delude itself by blaming others for its home-grown ills. India rejects any and every such allegation, which is as baseless as it is pointless,” the MEA said. 31 dead, over 150 injured in Islamabad blast India’s statement comes after a blast ripped through Islamabad, killing dozens of people and injuring over 150 others, some of whom were reportedly critical.

Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 movie review: A pointless sequel with non-existent scares

Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 movie review: A pointless sequel with non-existent scares

Published by Parlour News

Cast: Josh Hutcherson, Piper Rubio, Elizabeth Lail, Wayne Knight, Mckenna Grace, Matthew Lillard Director: Emma Tammi Rating: ★.5 When the first Five Nights at Freddy’s landed in 2023, it became an unlikely phenomenon—part nostalgia trip, part carefully packaged PG-13 horror that allowed younger fans to feel like they were touching something dangerous without actually being scared. Built on the cult success of Scott Cawthon’s video-game universe, the film stitched together haunted animatronics, missing children, and internet-fueled mythology into something that audiences devoured regardless of its shortcomings. A sequel was inevitable. Josh Hutcherson, Piper Rubio and Elizabeth Lail in a still from Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 The second instalment opens with a flashback to 1982, where a young girl named Charlotte witnesses a kidnapping during a party at the original Freddy’s location and is murdered while adults inexplicably stand by. Her spirit fuses with a new animatronic—Marionette—setting the stage for another cycle of vengeful horror two decades later. Mike (Josh Hutcherson), his sister Abby (Piper Rubio), and Vanessa (Elizabeth Lail) return to confront yet another …

What followed next was almost 3 hours of disappointment, watching a good film fail, because of reasons best known to him! Any which way, the major takeaway or disappointment for that film was its climax, which ended on a cliffhanger and a promise to bring the sequel!

Meghan Markle’s Netflix Show Slammed By UK Critics As “Pointless,” “Narcissistic,” & “Exhausting”

Meghan Markle’s Netflix Show Slammed By UK Critics As “Pointless,” “Narcissistic,” & “Exhausting”

How Did UK Critics React To Meghan Markle’s With Love, Meghan? (Photo Credit – Netflix) UK critics took no prisoners in their brutal takedown of Meghan Markle’s Netflix lifestyle show, With Love, Meghan, which premiered on Tuesday. The consensus was clear across British media from when the show aired on the streaming platform: the duchess’s latest venture was a self-indulgent misfire. Meghan Markle’s Netflix Show Dubbed “Awful” Amanda Platell of the Daily Mail found the series “so awful it is almost compelling,” while The Guardian’s Stuart Heritage dismissed it as “so pointless” that “it might be the Sussexes’ last TV show.” According to Heritage, the show was packed with complaints from both Markle and Prince Harry, and he suggested that Meghan’s thirst for the spotlight remained as strong as ever. “The problem is that nobody wants to see Meghan making decorative ladybird crostini with Mindy Kaling,” Heritage opined, referring to one of Markle’s guests on the show. “‘With Love, Meghan’ is the sort of gormless lifestyle filler that, had it been made by the BBC, …

Paresh Rawal Says It’s ‘Pointless’ Abusing Films Like Pathaan Or Jawan: ‘This Is Fascism’

Last Updated:January 28, 2025, 23:27 IST Paresh Rawal expressed disapproval of people dictating audience tastes by dismissing popular cinema as ‘ghatiya’ (terrible). Paresh Rawal slams criticism of commercial films like Pathaan and Jawan. Veteran actor Paresh Rawal has criticised the mindset of unfairly abusing commercially successful films like Pathaan and Jawan. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter India, the seasoned actor, known for his roles across commercial and indie cinema, described such criticism as “fascism of another kind.” Rawal, who has spent over four decades in the film industry, expressed disapproval of people dictating audience tastes by dismissing popular cinema as “ghatiya” (terrible). “Those films are successful because audiences like them. Who are you to call their taste terrible?” he questioned, adding, “You can say what works for you or doesn’t, but expecting everyone to share your taste is fascism.” The actor, gearing up for the release of The Storyteller on Disney+ Hotstar, also argued that the success of commercial cinema shouldn’t discourage filmmakers from pursuing meaningful stories.

AFC Asian Cup: India finish pointless, goalless but coach Igor Stimac says ‘we can compete at this level’ | Football News

Published by Webster

Three games, over 270 minutes of football, six goals conceded, none scored and no points earned – India’s campaign at the 2023 AFC Asian Cup came to an underwhelming end on Tuesday with the team succumbing to a 1-0 loss to Syria at the Al Bayt Stadium in Doha. The final 10 minutes of the game were a sight to behold – eerily similar to how the curtain came crashing down for the men’s football team at the Asian Games. It was a group of 11 chasing, harrying and finally winning the ball, only to have every good idea come to naught with no final ball and an end product. The lack of options when presented with the ball and helplessness at the continental level has been a resounding theme around the two teams Igor Stimac has taken to the two big assignments at the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024. Against Syria on Tuesday, the Indian team played to the script. They fought to the best of their abilities. They created a …

AFC Asian Cup: Goalless and pointless, India eye big improvement against Syria and helpful results elsewhere to boost R16 hopes | Football News

Published by Webster

If in Australia and Uzbekistan, India found top Asian teams looking to win the biggest football prize in the continent, against Syria, they find kinship in goals moving forward, even though both teams have found goals hard to come by. While Syria have a point from two games thanks to a 0-0 draw against Uzbekistan and can go through to the Round of 16 with a win against India, it’s a lot tougher for Igor Stimac’s team, who have conceded five goals over two games and not scored a single one of their own. The top two teams from each of the six groups go through. With these 12 teams, four of the best third-placed teams will comprise the Round of 16. Even a win against the Syrians can’t guarantee a spot in the last 16 for India, who also must hope a host of results go their way in other groups. Syria come with the same set of physical attributes that have troubled the Indians at this tournament. However, it’s the lack of goals …

Punjab FC and Gokulam Kerala split pointless points

Published by Webster

Punjab FC and Gokulam Kerala FC ended their 23-24 Kalinga Super Cup campaign with a goalless draw in a Group C match of no consequence at the Kalinga Stadium on Sunday, January 21, 2024. While Punjab FC finished third on the Group C table with two points, Gokulam Kerala remained the bottom spooners in the four-team group with only one point. It was an even opening 15 minutes as both teams were looking to gain possession in the middle of the park and neither fully achieved it. As the match progressed, Punjab FC seemed to have the majority of the ball possession, but it proved to be much ado about nothing as they could not create a clear-cut opportunity to break the deadlock. The story was no different in the second half, as neither of the teams were able to muster up a clear effort at goal. Punjab FC had enjoyed the majority of possession but failed to provide anything to their Colombian striker, Wilmar Jordan Gil. Some drama unfolded in the last 10 minutes …
