Jaafar having grown up at Neverland and watching movies with his uncle is the kind of biographical detail that changes how you think about the performance. He is not playing a stranger.
What does Jaafar Jackson actually sound like as a singer separate from Michael? Has he released music people can listen to before seeing the film?
The Michael movie review verdict is in, and it is more complicated than the 26% Rotten Tomatoes score suggests. Antoine Fuqua's long-delayed Michael Jackson biopic, simply titled Michael, hit theaters this weekend with Jaafar Jackson playing his late uncle, and the critical response has been brutal. The BBC gave it one star. Roger Ebert's site called it a filmed playlist in search of a story. Yet early audience reactions on social media have been warmer, ticket pre-sales suggest an $80 million opening, and Variety thought it worked as an engrossing middle-of-the-road biopic. After tracking coverage across more than a dozen outlets over the past 48 hours, I think the honest answer to "should you watch this?" depends almost entirely on what you want from a music biopic, and this guide breaks down exactly what the film delivers, what it skips, and who will actually enjoy sitting through its two-hour-and-nine-minute runtime.
The year 2026 marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of manhwa as a medium. What started as a trickle of Korean comics receiving anime adaptations has become a flood, with at least fifteen confirmed projects bringing beloved manhwa to animated life. This explosive growth wasn't accidental but the inevitable result of Solo Leveling's massive success proving that manhwa adaptations can compete with traditional manga anime in quality, popularity, and profitability. Studios across Japan and Korea are investing heavily in manhwa properties, recognizing that Korean storytelling brings fresh perspectives, innovative premises, and built-in fanbases eager to see their favorite series animated. The diversity of genres receiving adaptations demonstrates that manhwa appeal extends far beyond action and fantasy into romance, psychological thriller, sports, and slice-of-life territories.
Does this series handle the question of whether Seongshik was already queer before being transported or does it use the BL world to facilitate a sexuality awakening narrative. Those are very different stories and the distinction matters.

Meta has just had one of its most important AI moments yet and the early signals are hard to ignore. Following the launch of its newest AI model Muse Spark, the company’s standalone Meta AI app surged dramatically in popularity, hinting at a much larger shift that is beginning to take shape. The release is particularly significant because it marks the first major AI model rollout under Alexandr Wang, who joined Meta to reboot its AI strategy. This is not just another incremental update. It represents a more aggressive and focused push into the AI race. According to data from Appfigures, Meta AI jumped from number 57 to number 5 on the U.S. App Store within a day of the launch. That kind of movement rarely happens without a strong underlying pull from users. It signals not curiosity but intent.
In a rare divergence from industry norms, TikTok has confirmed it will not adopt end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for direct messages, breaking with nearly every major social media platform and reigniting one of the tech industry's most contentious debates. The Chinese-owned video platform told the BBC exclusively that it believes the privacy technology championed by Meta, Apple, and others as essential for user protection actually makes users less safe by creating "dark spaces" where harmful content can flourish beyond the reach of safety teams and law enforcement. The decision puts TikTok in direct opposition to its competitors while potentially exposing the company to fresh criticism over data protection, particularly given ongoing concerns about its ties to Beijing.
