To combat the threat, Thor enlists the help of King Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), Korg (Taika Waititi) and ex-girlfriend Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), who – to Thor’s surprise – inexplicably wields his magical hammer, Mjolnir, as the Mighty Thor. Together, they embark upon a harrowing cosmic adventure to uncover the mystery of the God Butcher’s vengeance and stop him before it’s too late.

Young Sheldon: The Complete Fifth Season

YOUNG SHELDON:

THE COMPLETE FIFTH SEASON

Contains All 22 Hilarious Episodes from the Fifth Season,

Plus All New Bonus Content

Available on DVD September 6, 2022

  I have been waiting 4 seasons for our Big Bang Spoilers to come about.  We of course have seen a few in the previous years.  This season though we start to see the big ones and I am hooked.

BURBANK, CA (July 12, 2022) – Just in time for the sixth season premiere, catch up with the iconic quirks of TV’s beloved Sheldon Cooper, and his latest childhood adventures, as Warner Bros. Home Entertainment releases Young Sheldon: The Complete Fifth Season on DVD September 6, 2022. Laugh along with all 22, 30-minute, episodes from the outrageous fifth season, as well as all-new bonus content going behind the scenes of the series 100th episode. Young Sheldon: The Complete Fifth Season is priced to own at $19.99 SRP for the DVD ($24.99 in Canada) and will also be available on Blu-ray courtesy of Warner Archive Collection. Warner Archive Blu-ray releases are easily found at www.warnerarchive.com and on your favorite online retailer sites.

For young Sheldon Cooper, being a once-in-a-generation mind capable of advanced mathematics and science isn’t always helpful in East Texas. And while the vulnerable, gifted and somewhat naïve Sheldon deals with the world, his very normal family must find a way to deal with him. His father struggles as a high school football coach and father to a boy he doesn’t understand. Sheldon’s mother fiercely protects her son who just doesn’t fit in. Sheldon’s older brother does the best he can in high school, but his younger brother is already in college. Sheldon’s twin sister remains the one person who can reliably tell Sheldon the truth. And his beloved Meemaw, his Texas grandmother who supports him and his gifts. For over a decade, Big Bang Theory audiences came to know the iconic, eccentric and extraordinary Sheldon Cooper. Now they join him as he embarks on his innocent, awkward journey toward the man he will become.

Created and Executive Produced by Chuck Lorre and Steven Molaro, Young Sheldon is also executive produced and narrated by Jim Parsons, who played Sheldon Cooper in The Big Bang Theory. Steve Holland and Todd Spiewak also executive produce. The star cast features Iain Armitage (Big Little Lies), Zoe Perry (The Family, Private Practice), Lance Barber (The Comeback), Montana Jordan (The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter), and Raegan Revord (Modern Family) with Annie Potts (Designing Women, Love & War) and Jim Parsons. The series is produced by Chuck Lorre Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television.

11 Tips To Make Sure Your Surprise Party Is A Success

There are few things more exciting than planning a surprise birthday party. The element of surprise makes the occasion all the more special, and the options for planning are virtually endless.

Whether you’re looking to throw a small gathering or an extravagant bash;

Here Are A Few Tips To Make Sure Your Surprise Party Is A Success.

1. Keep it a secret

This may seem like a no-brainer, but keeping the party a secret is essential to its success. Make sure to only invite those who you know can keep the secret, and be careful not to let any details slip. If you’re worried about someone blabbing, consider making the party invitation-only. This way, only those who need to know will be in on the surprise.

2. Choose the perfect venue

The venue you choose for the party will set the tone for the entire event. If you’re looking to keep things low-key, a friend’s house or a local restaurant may be your best bet. For a more formal affair, consider renting out a banquet hall or event space. And if you really want to go all out, why not throw the party at an exotic location like a beach resort or private island?

3. Make a guest list

Once you’ve chosen your venue, it’s time to start thinking about who to invite. In addition to close family and friends, you may also want to invite co-workers, classmates, or other important people in the birthday boy or girl’s life. Just be sure not to invite too many people, as this can make the party feel overwhelming and stressful.

4. Plan activities

No matter what kind of party you’re throwing, it’s always a good idea to have some activities planned. This will help to keep guests entertained and prevent the party from feeling like a dud. If you’re stuck for ideas, consider hiring a professional entertainer like a clown, magician, or DJ. Or, you could set up some fun games like Piñata Whack-A-Mole or charades.

5. Decorate the venue

Once you’ve got your guest list and activities sorted out, it’s time to start thinking about decorations. The sky’s the limit when it comes to decorating for a surprise party, so get creative! If you’re stuck for ideas, try doing a quick search online or browsing through party supply stores.

6. Make sure there’s enough food and drink

No party is complete without plenty of food and drink, so make sure to stock up before the big day. If you’re not sure how much to prepare, err on the side of caution and make more than you think you’ll need. This way, you won’t have to worry about running out of anything mid-party. 

You could prepare some simple snacks like chips and dip or veggie platters for a starter. For the main course, consider searching how to air fry steak. Alternatively, order pizza or have a potluck-style meal where each guest brings a dish. And for dessert, you can’t go wrong with an ice cream cake or a giant plate of cookies.

7. Set up a photo booth

What’s a birthday party without some photos to remember it by? A photo booth is a fun way to capture all the memories of your special day. You can either set up your own booth using a simple backdrop and some props, or hire a professional company to do it for you. Either way, be sure to have plenty of film or digital storage space available, so you don’t miss a moment.

8. Plan for the big reveal

One of the most important parts of any surprise party is the big reveal. This is when the birthday boy or girl finally finds out that they’re the guest of honor. There are a few different ways you can go about this, so it’s really up to you. 

You could have someone call them on the phone and pretend to be inviting them to a different event, or you could have someone waiting for them at their door when they get home from work. Whichever method you choose, just be sure to plan everything out in advance, so there are no hiccups on the big day.

10. Plan a grand finale

Last but not least, don’t forget to plan a grand finale for the birthday boy or girl. This could be anything from cutting an impressive cake to popping out of a giant cardboard box. The possibilities are endless, so get creative and make it something they’ll never forget.

11. Have fun!

Above all, remember to have fun with it. This is their special day, after all, so make sure they enjoy every minute of it. With a little planning and some help from their friends, they’re sure to have a birthday they’ll never forget.

Final Words

With these tips in mind, you’re sure to throw a surprise birthday party that’s unforgettable. Just remember to keep it a secret, choose the perfect venue, and stock up on food and drink. And most importantly, have fun!

How To Have A Movie Night At Home In 10 Steps

Image Credit

Organizing a movie night at home can be simple and fun. By following these ten steps, you can make sure your evening is enjoyable for everyone!

1) Choose the right movie:

Not everyone likes the same type of film, so it is important to choose a flick that will please the majority of your guests. If you are unsure about what to pick, consider going with a classic or something that is sure to generate discussion afterward.

2) Set up your viewing area:

Whether you are using a TV, laptop, or projector, make sure everyone will be able to see the screen easily. If you have small children attending, set up some comfy pillows on the floor in front of the “screen” so they can get cozy.

3) Have an easy dinner:

You don’t want to spend the entire evening in the kitchen, so choose a dinner that can be prepared ahead of time or is easy to throw together. Tuscan Chicken Pasta, Pizza, popcorn, and snacks are always popular choices for movie nights.

4) Make it popcorn time:

Popcorn is a must for any movie night! You can make your own ahead of time or buy it ready-made. If you want to get creative, try adding some fun toppings to the popcorn like chocolate chips, sprinkles, or even bacon bits.

5) Drinks and snacks:

In addition to popcorn, have a selection of drinks and snacks available for your guests. Consider non-alcoholic options as well as beer and wine if you are having adults over. For munchies, easy finger foods like pretzels, chips, dip, or veggie platters are always a hit.

6) Get cozy:

Once everyone has arrived and you are all settled in, make sure everyone is comfortable. If it’s chilly outside, bring out some blankets to keep everyone warm.

7) Hit play:

Now the fun part – it’s time to start the movie! Make sure to mute any phones and set them to vibrate so you won’t be disturbed during the film.

8) Half-time break:

After the first half of the movie, take a short break to grab more snacks or use the restroom. This is also a good time to refill drinks.

9) Discuss and debate:

Once the movie is over, invite everyone to stay for a while to discuss what they thought about it. Did they like it? What were their favorite parts? This is always a fun way to end the evening.

10) Thank your guests:

Be sure to thank your guests for coming and let them know how much you enjoyed having them over. Movie nights are always more fun with good company!

There you have it!

Organizing a movie night at home can be simple and fun with these ten easy steps. Whether you are having a family gathering or friends over for a night in, following these tips will help make sure everyone has a great time. So pop some popcorn, grab your favorite snacks and drinks, and settle in for a fun evening of film!
