SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Couples who hit the hay together stay happier together. A survey by Talker Research found most married Americans only share bedtime 3 nights a week, with an average 80-minute gap on other nights. Couples who report being “very happy” go to bed together about 4 nights weekly, compared to just once for less happy couples. Sharing bedtime also boosts sleep quality and physical intimacy, especially among millennials. Couples with matching sleep styles – those who are both early birds or both night owls – report even higher satisfaction. Simply syncing bedtimes appears to strengthen emotional connection, intimacy, and overall marital happiness.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
John Leguizamo has joined the head-spinning cast of Mike Flanagan’s new untitled “Exorcist” film. Flanagan wrote the script and is directing and producing the new feature, promising a “fresh and bold” take on the demonic possession story. The movie, which begins production next week, is easily the most brightly starred Exorcist project in years. Scarlett Johansson, Jacobi Jupe, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane are already loading up on the holy water. While plot details are being kept under the sheets, it is known that Johansson plays a mother and Jupe plays her son. Leguizamo may be playing an antagonist.
Mike Myers will receive a special honor at this year’s Canadian Screen Awards, to recognize his contributions to the media landscape. The Toronto-born “Austin Powers” star is expected to attend the ceremony on May 31 to accept the Academy Icon Award. Myers helped galvanize Canadian nationalism last year amid U.S. annexation threats by wearing a “Canada is not for sale” T-shirt on “SNL” and motioning “elbows up.” Toronto Blue Jays broadcaster Hazel Mae will get the Gordon Sinclair Award for Broadcast Journalism. Nominees for this year’s Screen Awards will be announced March 25. The awards show will air simultaneously on CBC, CBC Gem, Crave, CTV, Global and STACKTV this year.

OF THE DAY
A moment of silence for “6-7.” The brain-rot battle cry that ricocheted through classrooms like a rogue dodgeball, and somehow became the answer to every math problem last fall, has been officially declared uncool. Even Amy Poehler declared it 86’d on her podcast while chatting with fellow mom Jennifer Lawrence. As she pointed out, “no one’s saying it anymore”, because once adults learn the slang, it’s already on its way out. Born from Skrilla’s track ‘Doot Doot’, and boosted by a clip about LaMelo Ball (who is, yes, 6-foot-7), the phrase spread faster than headlice in kindergarten. In September it was everywhere. By January? It had been buried under the “Great Meme Reset.” From what we’ve been able to gather, teens have officially moved on – and teachers are breathing a quiet sigh of relief. The little kids, however, are still wearing the merch. So, what are the cool kids saying now? I’ve got no idea.
Some former BlackBerry employees are hoping to revive the nostalgic click of physical keyboards with a new smartphone called “The Communicator”. Developed by Toronto-based company Clicks, the device builds on the firm’s earlier keyboard attachments. Co-founder Jeff Gadway, a former BlackBerry marketing executive, says modern smartphones try to do everything…but excel at nothing. Clicks recently unveiled the Power Keyboard, a slide-out attachment with wireless charging, and has now gone a step further with a standalone Android phone featuring a built-in, contoured keyboard. Aimed as a second or work phone, the Communicator emphasizes focused communication over doomscrolling, leaning heavily into productivity and messaging. It is available for preorder at US$399. Gadway is optimistic that the smartphone keyboard resurgence sticks, or rather “clicks” with consumers. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/mwe75t5z

WEIRD NEWS
A woman riding the subway in Delhi got a shock when she saw a vending machine full of . . . underwear at the Rohini East Metro Station. The video of her laughing and gawking went viral, hitting over 798,000 views on Instagram. Some called it hilarious, while others praised the convenience for those dealing with…well…emergencies. Social media users suggested also stocking the machine with stationery, sewing kits, or even hand sanitizer. Though unusual in India, vending machines for essentials are common in Japan. Maybe skipping the store for a quick pair of underpants is the future of public transport convenience… LINK: https://tinyurl.com/2hha87af
