I Tried Urban Chislic
Urban Chislic opened a couple weeks ago and I finally got a chance to try it out. It is located in front of the Walmart at 85th and Louise. The decor definitely hints to an urban feel. There is graffiti art on the walls and manholes on the floor. There was a bit of a wait when I arrived with my group, but they take your name and cell phone number and text you when your table is ready. The menu, of course, features chislic, but in ways you might not expect. I ordered chislic nachos.

Royal Madness From Yorgos Lanthimos
In many ways, it seems like Yorgos Lanthimos ‘ The Favourite is refreshing salve for the devastating wounds left behind by his last film.

‘Die Hard 6’ Won’t Have the Words ‘Die Hard’ In the Title
First there was Die Hard. And lo, did Bruce Willis’ John McClane die hard. Then there was a sequel, Die Hard 2 (sometimes also Die Harder , because movies are magic). Next came, Die Hard With a Vengeance. Then Live Free or Die Hard , the most New Hampshirish of the Die Hard films. And finally there was A Good Day to Die Hard , because there’s really not that many famous expressions with the word “die” at the end that you can add a “hard” to. It’s been five years since that fifth Die Hard .

Wounded Warriors Family Support High Five Tour Sioux Falls Ford
I am thankful for groups like the Wounded Warriors Family Support , they not only rally around families, but also bring awareness to all of us. It is encouraging to know these types of groups are bringing awareness, and action to those people who are flying under the radar. The amount of good people out there doing good things, outweigh those on the other side. Good people, and organizations doing good work often don't receive the same attention or recognition for whatever reason.

South Dakotan's Favorite Bad Movie
I learned a little something while researching this article and that would be; there is very little agreement on what constitutes a truly bad movie. Go ahead, do what I did, Google "best worst movies" and see what happens. Although there does seem to be some agreement on catastrophes like John Travolta's Battlefield Earth and Nicholas Cage's Wicker Man . I found those two on at least 3 of the 4 sites I perused.
Final ‘The Predator’ Trailer Is the Bloodiest and Funniest Yet
If the first couple trailers for the new Predator were all about teasing the terrifying and massive the new alien beasties, the latest one is just having some fun. Don’t get me wrong, the final Red Band trailer for the horror reboot is still gnarly and bloody as heck, but it especially shows off Shane Black’ ’s brand of humor. The latest footage reveals a few more details about the plot.
Eminem Recorded a Song About ‘Venom’
For the biggest music acts these days, it’s all about the surprise album. Taking a page from Cloverfield , and a book or two from Beyoncé, it seems like every new record (I’m old) from a major artist is released out of nowhere with very little hype or warning. Today’s new release (right before the long Labor Day weekend, no less! Sorry music critics!) is Eminem’s Kamizake .
Beer and Poetry Open Mic Saturday in Sioux Falls
Going to an open mic night is easily one of my favorite things to experience. The beauty of an open mic is it you never know what you are going to get.

Britney Spears, Relatable Queen, Will Only Wake Up for Ice Cream
Linda Evangelista won't get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day , and Britney Spears won't get out of bed for less than...an ice cream cone. In an adorable video posted to the singer's social media accounts, a group of dancers can be seen running down the hall worried that Miss Spears won't wake up before her next show. They then enter a backstage room, where she's fast asleep (but still wearing her heels!) on a couch.
Disney’s Star Wars Land Cantina Looks and Sounds Insane
Every new announcement about Disneyland and Walt Disney World ’s new land dedicated to Star Wars (officially known as “Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge”) is crazier than the last. There’s going to be a Millennium Falcon ride, and you pilot the Falcon. How you perform on this ride will supposedly affect the interactions you have with the other characters in the Land. And Florida’s version will also include an immersive hotel that convinces you you’re actually in outer space. It goes on and on.
Turns Out Ariana Grande's 'Lick the Bowl' Lyric Is About a Sex Thing + People Are Kind of Speechless
Just as much as you can count on Ariana Grande to wear thigh-high boots and a high pony, you can also bet on her to sing about sex. Like, this is the girl that has an entire song dedicated to getting down so hard you can't walk, another about getting busy anywhere and everywhere , and who once made a very public proclamation about her fiancé's, ahem, size. Let's also not forget the time this happened in her "God Is a Woman" music video .

Read Tyga 's lips: the rapper has basically insinuated he's responsible for the success of ex-girlfriend Kylie Jenner 's cosmetics empire.

This week, DC Comics announced its new and very unique streaming service, DC Universe , will officially launch on September 15, a day that just so happens to be Batman Day.

Bradley Cooper Just Gave the Cringiest Interview About Lady Gaga
Hello and welcome to the latest edition of gross things men say. Please give a round of applause to today's guest, Bradley Cooper , actor, director, and apparent chauvinist.
