Last week, Hollywood was hit with yet another scandal. Actor John Travolta had been accused of sexual harassment by a male masseur, and the plaintiff was looking for $2 million in damages. Since then, three more male masseurs have come forward with similar claims. Today it was revealed that the original accuser, only referred to as John Doe, was dropping the lawsuit. The initial claims by John Doe were highly graphic in detail and had entailed that the assault took place on January 16. He later released a statement claiming [...]

Studenty Sunday: Random Edition
Every week Roisin Peddle takes a look at ten stories making the headlines here at Studenty.me. One of the silliest ads around at the moment is the one where the skydive instructor tells his bewildered skydivers to pull on the sheep clock which release their rubber duck and he’ll see them on the cupcake. In this spirit, I present a wide, diverse and even disparate group of articles for your edification this Sunday. (Can they tell I’ve ran out of ideas yet? Well, not if you don’t tell them- Ed). 1.

5 soundtracks to your other life
The movies: oh they can take you anywhere. From the roar of the battle charge on Jerusalem at the close of the Third Crusade, through the dither and gloom of 19th century England, to the catastrophe of the not-so-distant post-apocalyptic future, movies present us with that other world; that world that’s just that little bit too big for us to be in, and therefore just big enough to enthrall. But we all know that we don’t just watch the movies. When we tuck ourselves back into our normal little beds [...]
The Trouble with Netflix
Netflix the online movie and TV streaming service is now in the market for some 2 months. A lot of things were expected of it. Some even predicted the end of the high street video library. The truth seems to be far more prosaic. I’ve used this service from the outset. Yet at no time has the idea of canceling my video club membership crossed my mind. A common criticism of the service is that it’s content is low rent hokum with a generous lathering of pot boiler TV dramas [...]
