surprise

After the surprise, ‘La Revuelta’ is discovering to what extent ‘El Hormiguero’ is a complicated colossus to win

by

Although in its first months of life the fight between ‘El Hormiguero’ and ‘La Revuelta’ He was fiercewith victories in audience almost alternating Mathematical, the situation has changed. David Broncano has not advanced ‘El Hormiguero’ for weeks, which puts the star program of the Nights of La1 in a hurry: he needs to find a way of counterattacking. A 2025 fall. The competition during the first months of ‘La Revuelta’ resulted at the end of last year with A tight victory: 15.7%against 15.6%, with Broncano beating more clearly in the strip of strict coincidence (16.3%/15%). But Something seems to be failing in 2025: The first quarter 46 days of ‘La Revuelta’ and 47 of ‘El Hormiguero’ were issued, and Antena 3 imposed on LA1: it obtained an average of 14.8% compared to 13.4%. In 35 days he won ‘El Hormiguero’. Second quarter with a clear winner. But in the April months And May the thing has not gone much better: in these five weeks, only three days got ‘the revolt’ to beat ‘El Hormiguero’ (April 2, 3 and 15, the last one being the motorcycle program a replacement). That is, the Broncano program has been advancing its rival for more than a month, with figures that are close to 10% of Shareeven often without exceeding it, while ‘El Hormiguero’ is accommodated closer to figures around Share 13-15. That is, not only does it advance to his rival, but his audience has dropped: he is far from that 14.8% he averaged in 2025. Is it a ‘the revolt’ disaster? Actually, they are not bad figures, especially if we compare with the average audience that La1 made in that strip of Access before the arrival of Broncano (for example, in the first half of 2024 the 1 averaged 9% share). Thanks to Broncano the 1 passed in the annual ranking of Ser the third most watched chain of 2024 to be the second (With the additional impulse, yes, of the Eurocup and the Olympic Games in June and July: it was in those months the most watched chain, after 12 years without leading a month). The figures of ‘La Revuelta’, as a whole, are not disastrous, but Broncano resists leadership. There is no surprise anymore. There is another possible reason for this fall: the known as “wow effect” (that is usually used in marketingbut it also serves any content proposal for the general public, such as television programs) is no longer that of the early days. Gone were the reaction to the theft of a guest with a Documentary about the Berrea del Ciervo By way of response, the splendid Amaia’s performance which closed 2024 or how two icons of the program, such as Broncano and Lalachús, attracted the attention in the New Year’s Eve bells. Since then, few actions in the program have achieved that effect: perhaps the Short around the lottery raffle or the striking LEIVA LIVE performance With numerous invited stars. Little thing for a program that has not been assigned to Trends of social networks, something that A few months ago I got almost daily. ‘La Revuelta’ no longer surprises the same. A formula that accuses tiredness. What could happen? One possibility is the exhaustion of the surprise effect: ‘La Revuelta’ started as ‘the resistance’ in Movistar Plus+ in February 2018, which is seven years in which the formula has barely experienced variations. It is an exhaustion that It does not affect the much more veteran motorcycle program: The solid but well -founded structure in some collaborators and sections that have been among the most watched on television make not evolving a problem for Broncano. For motorcycles, however, and as it has demonstrated by liquidating A rival behind another, His monolithic scaffolding is his main weapon. The TV family does not take off. It is not the only proposal of the renewed TVE that Sergio Calderón directs that does not finish finding its space before the competition. On its third day on antenna, after a Dubitative start with a ride‘The family of TV’ It fell yesterday to a very lazy 6.2%with only half of the fee that the winner, an increasingly grown Jorge Javier with 12.1% of Share. It was the most ambitious bet of this first half of 2025 for RTVE and the return of Belén Esteban to the front line awakened expectation, but the result does not seem to be convinced in its week of debut to the public.

The more and less reliable car brands of 2025, in a graphic dominated by Japan and with a surprise: Tesla

by

Buying a car is A authentic headache. It is logical if we consider that, usually, after the house, the purchase of a car is the greatest expense we make. There are many variables to take into account (motorization, securitymore or less screens …) and something that should be seen are the lists of the most reliable cars. There are several, Like those of Consumer Reports Or JD Power, who help us make the decision. And, precisely, in this graph elaborated by Visual Capitalist We have the list of the most reliable brands of 2025 according to one of these databases. JD Power. First of all, let’s see the context of this company. Founded in 1968, it has been specialized in handling big Databases that collect consumer data in various industries. One of them is that of the car, where they analyze all those data to prepare reports with achievements such as the discovery of a defect in the design of the rotary engines of Mazda in 1973, something that forced the company to remedy. In the automobile segment, they publish several lists, being one of them that includes the general degree of satisfaction of the owners of the different brands. On this occasion, it focuses on the United States, but as is the case in the Consumer Reports lists, although the US market is slightly different from the European, many of the brands and models are common in both markets. PP100. To understand the list, you have to know that the number of problems per 100 vehicles is detailed (problems per 100 or PP100) after three years of property. For example, in the Last year listJD Power collected the response of more than 30,500 people from cars bought in 2021 and, after three years, detailed the problems belonging to nine categories: Abroad Inside Seating Driving experience Air conditioning/air conditioning Controls Infoentrate system Engine Driving aids The best. Going to the list, we have a recurring company in the first position: Lexus. In different consumer surveys, Toyota’s luxury brand has been crowned as the company that has the most degree of satisfaction among its customers. In this case, although it has more errors than in the list last year, it continues in first position. The American Buick is the second and, thirdly, Mazda advances to Toyota. Nothing surprising: Japan continues to lead in the high satisfaction positions, but others like General Motors manage to sneak because they have varied the most with respect to the previous period. The biggest changes. Precisely, there are several changes in the list marked by that improvement or worsening in front of the 2024 survey. Mazda is one of the one that improves the most with respect to the last year, reducing its PP100 by 24 points. Ford reduced it at 31 points and Tesla starred in the biggest change by reducing it by 43 points. There are also changes worse, such as that of the aforementioned Toyota, Alfa Romeo, Hyundai, Acura or Jeep, something that surprises less if we see recent movements of the company in American territory, with policies that are not liking and other determining factors for this list. Worse. The really interesting, beyond the brands whose reputation improves or worsens in recent months, is the fact that, globally, the average errors per 100 vehicles has reached, according to JD Power, its highest average since 2009. This is curious because it was the year immediately later to the financial crisis of 2008 and the manufacturers may cut in components, but cars analyzed in 2024 They are built during the Covid-19 pandemic, which points to a correlation between a crisis moment and an increase in vehicle failures. More technology, more problems. The more options a device has, the more possibilities there is something fail. It is something that surely you have heard: do not buy you a washing machine because it surely fails more than a washing machine and a separate dryer (insert the example you want with a microwave-shock or whatever). Well, in the case of cars, according to JD Power reports, half of the main problems of the entire industry are related to the great novelty of recent years: integration with smartphones and systems ANdroid Auto and Apple Carplay. In fact, in surveys, 56% of users claim that they have not noticed improvements even after updates and that, the more software related to the Infoentrate It has the car, there is more likely that something fails. Obviously, Millions of cars are sold a year And many have that integration, but also owners or solutions such as Android Automotive and the units that fail represent a small percentage. But, in an industry that becomes more and more in this and Use of screens (With brands that are already reculating), It is normal for more mistakes of this type to appear. Choosing a car now does not go only motor or design, but also of stability in the software, and it is convenient that we keep it in mind when choosing.

‘Mufasa’ has been the surprise success of the year for Disney. And all thanks to not immediately take it to Disney+

by

The First impressions about the ‘Mufasa box office: the lion king’the prequel to the success of 2019, they were not too flattering: it seemed a puncture that confirmed, after the stumbling blocks of ‘Dumbo’ and ‘Pinocchio’, that the remakes in real image of Disney classics (although it enters that pack, ‘mufasa’ is rather realistic CGI) had lost their good star. However, it has ended up becoming an indisputable success for the company, and all thanks to a strategy that seemed like the past: persistence in the billboards. An upperbow box office. ‘Mufasa’ had to see them in theaters with A very powerful rival: ‘Sonic 3’which has ended up raising almost 500 million dollars, becoming the second most popular adaptation of a video game in history and the best entry of the franchise, which has the future more than insured. ‘Sonic 3’ (to which more competition was added: ‘Wicked’ and Disney’s own ‘Vaiana 2’) worked like a cannon from the first moment, and although ‘MUFASA’ led the most watched tops, its 35 million dollars in the first weekend left it well below the 200 with which the first installment started. Erta 30% less than what Disney expected. Taking impulse. The alarms lit in Disney: Had they squeezed the franchise while exhausting it? Let’s not forget that the musical of the original film is one of the most popular in history, and the presence of Simba and company in attraction parks is inescapable. However, ‘Mufasa’ would soon take the expected route, closing a very good year for Disney, which came from sweeping the United States with a demolish thanksgiving weekend thanks to ‘Vaiana 2‘, and to beat records with’Upside down 2‘ and ‘Deadpool and Wolverine‘. However, mouth mouth made its effect and spent five weeks at number 1, entering 2025 with 600 million dollars of collection. And all thanks to a strategic decision. Contrary to the expected. That strategic decision was not to release ‘MUFASA’ in Disney+ for Christmas, possibly a decision that had more than one executive in suspense, especially taking into account the lazy start of the film at the box office. But if I had gone to Disney+, I would not have had those five glorious weeks sweeping cinemas. Finally, the film has raised 712.9 million dollars, becoming the seventh highest grossing film of 2024 … and of course, it has ended in Disney+, where it has been since mid -February. After Christmas, perfect storm. After the avalanche of Christmas premieres, Mufasa benefited so much from the premiere of films not addressed to the children’s public (‘Werewolf‘, for example), as of the Violization in Tik Tok songs Composed by Lin-Manuel Miranda. But above, all, of a certain recovery of the confidence in the rooms not as a procedure before the arrival of the films to streamingbut as a space in which the premieres can perform as they did years ago. Let us forget pandemic. We leave behind one of the greatest stigmas in the pandemic: that we would not recover the figures for assistance to cinemas prior to COVID. In Europein 2023 the assistance rose 18% and in the United States, in 2024 the 8,750 million dollars collected are below the more than 11,000 pre-pondemic levels, but It is clear that the industry continues to approach With a firm step. And the confidence of the industry in the rooms with trajectories such as ‘MUFASA’ only reinforce that impression.

An electric C-HR, a redesigned BZ4X and a lexus that comes with surprise

by

Toyota has given so many laps with the strategy related to the electric car that it is easy to get lost in what has happened in recent times and what are its future plans. Let us remember that In 2021 They advanced the launch of 30 electric models throughout the decade. Later, delays and bad results of the TOYOTA BZ4X doubts began to sow their leaders and have even pointed out that the electric car It will only be another piece of the puzzle that composes its offer but not much less will be the essential piece. And, already in the last third of 2024, They returned to the load pointing out that in 2026 they expected Manufacture less electric Of those who had initially raised but the bet was still firm. So much that they plan to produce a million electric cars next year (10 times more than those sold in 2023). Along the way they also presented their road map with new batteries and its position with solid state batteries. Now, the company has presented the first dish of the electric car menu for Europe. The second is expected more overwhelming and we should know it today, with a new completely electric model. At the moment, this is what the Japanese have advanced. Why does an electric car have less autonomy than the announcing Three cars converted to electric and a surprise In the absence of knowing more details about a new completely electric model that is about to be revealed, Toyota has decided to update its supply of the electric car for Europe with three existing models but that are updated with a zero emissions option. Toyota C-HR+ Without a doubt, it is the most attractive option of the three electric car conversions that Toyota has presented. It is because that ideal car practicality will join for day to day but with two batteries that can give a lot of play to get out of the city and not have long -trip problems. It will be sold with three mechanics that are associated with two battery sizes. The first is from 57.7 kWh And it arrives next to a 123 kW (165 hp) engine to deliver an autonomy approved according to 455 kilometers WLTP cycle. In the absence of own evidence, we can advance that we would talk about an open road autonomy of about 300-320 kilometers, which may be sufficient if we do not make many long trips a year or usually make a stop every two hours. Above, the most capable option will come with 77 kWh battery. This is combined with a 165 kW (221 hp) engine that will provide the greatest autonomy of all (600 km according to WLTP cycle) and with a 252 kW engine (338 hp) that provides total traction (the other two options are front traction) and an acceleration of 0 to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds. Of course, the expected autonomy falls to 525 kilometers that, on the road, will approach about 400 kilometers. The car will arrive in the second half of 2025 but there are no confirmed prices. TOYOTA BZ4X Toyota’s first electric SUV is updated with what should be an impulse to a model that has sold very little. With this relaunch, which will also arrive in the second half of 2025 and for which we have no prices, the Japanese claim that They have won more than 70 kilometers of autonomy in the large battery option by improving the efficiency of its electric motors. In addition, battery pre -conceptioning of up to 30 minutes is also now available to offer better performance and load more quickly. The mechanical offer will be very similar to that offered in the Toyota C-HR+. There will be a small 57.7 kWh battery model associated with a 123 kW (165 hp) engine that will deliver a homologated autonomy of 445 kilometers (20 kilometers more than the above -mentioned model) and two options for a battery that in this case remains at 73.1 kWh. One of them with 165 kW (221 hp) engine and autonomy of 573 kilometers and another with 252 kW (338 hp) and 520 kilometers autonomy. Toyota Urban Cruiser With much less details, Toyota has also advanced that he will put on the street El Toyota Urban Cruiser, a model designed for the urban environment but with a battery option that will allow you to travel without many inconveniences. At the moment, we only know that it will have 49 and 61 kWh batteriesso we can expect autonomies on the highway and highway that will move between 250 and 300 kilometers between load and load. Toyota has announced that they will use LFP batteries, so we expect a more content price. Of course, the latter has not been confirmed. Neither does your release date. The Urban Cruiser is a new compact SUV developed from the urban SUV prototype presented in 2023. While its compact exterior dimensions give it a great maneuverability in urban environments, the cabin maximizes the space for passengers with a system of sliding rear seats. It has two battery options (with gross capacity of 49 and 61 kWh), and both use ferrophosphate lithium technology (Lifepo), which offers advantages such as durability, safety and reduced cost, as well as the front or total traction option. Lexus Rz With a much more sporty concept, the Lexus RZ adds more completely electric options to its range designed to increase the sensations at the wheel. In this case, we talk about a car that will arrive in autumn of 2025. From Lexus they claim that the car has improved its total traction system, which will include the new management system that we already talked about in this article and that it will have a “New Interactive Manual Unitwhich provides a more attractive and pleasant driving experience. “That is, we can expect some gear change simulation system, something that has also been talking about.

For 15 years a strange circle under an island in Japan was an enigma. The author’s identity was a surprise

by

If we go to the dictionary to be exact with the term, the verb “courtej” accompanies the following definition: try to get the love or favors of someone flattering him and looking for his company. Therefore, the finding that took place several decades ago was so surprising. Normally, when we talk about courting WE THINK HUMAN KEY. However, in the animal kingdom they exceed everything seen in our species when it comes to claim the attention of the other. The enigma of the circles. In 1995, a group of divers who were exploring the waters near Amami ōshima, Japan, Japan, They discovered strange circular formations In the seabed. It was surprising, since those structures were symmetric, with radial spikes and valleys, and with such a prominent geometric perfection that it aroused all kinds of speculation about their origin: were they facing a human creation, or was it due to some kind of unknown natural phenomenon , or maybe an unusual organism? The years passed, and it was not until 2011 that A team of scientists managed to solve the mystery. Not just that. They managed to “catch” the suspect repeating the lavish scene. To the surprise of the researchers, the protagonist was A tiny torquigener albomaculosusa small kind of balloon fish that, with a size of just 12 centimeters, seemed to be able to sculpt structures 16 times larger than their own body with a very specific purpose: seduce a couple for reproduction. The art of courtship under the sea. The year of the finding, the scientists recorded the process of creating these circles in the seabed, observing up to 10 reproductive events in two study areas. Each structure took between seven and nine days to complete and required extreme precision. The male balloon fish used its pectoral, anal and flows fins to dig and model the sand in a perfect radial pattern, alternating between rapid and strategic pauses movements To give texture to the formations. In addition, he decorated the peaks of his work with decorative elements such as shells and coral fragments, while the center of the circle was completely clear as we see in the images. Only when these final details were ready, The females began to approach to evaluate the design of the “artist”. The mating ritual. At this point, when a female was interested in the structure, The male stirred the fine sand of the center to attract his attention. If she decided to enter the circle, the male withdrew momentarily before swimming quickly towards her in a repetitive courtship dance. If the female was impressed, she put her eggs in the center of the circlemaking it a temporary nest. If that was already fascinating, shortly after it was revealed that the impressive structures were never reused, they were of only one use. After reproduction, males leave their creation and begin a new one from scratch, since the process of sculpting the circle consumes most of the finest and most adequate sand for reproduction. This apotheosic nest construction ritual, documented years later In the Big Pacific series of BBC Earth/PBS and narrated by Sir David AttenboroughHe has amazed biologists and spectators since then. Ephemeral art. No doubt, the complex work of the balloon fish is One of the most fascinating exhibitions of the animal kingdomcomparable to the elaborate dances of mating of birds or the constructions of some mammals. However, what makes these structures unique is that these are true underwater works of art, carefully designed and molded with geometric precision. In addition, its discovery also offered a new perspective on the evolution of courtship in vertebrates. Although humans tend to think about art and architecture as exclusively ours capacities, these seabl , all that, and surely something else, in the extraordinary work of a tiny creature.

In China they decided to create a snowy destination for tourists with cottons. To anyone’s surprise, they did not go well

by

If the snow does not go to the mountain, the mountain invents snow. Or try at least, like have done in Chengdua town in the province of Sichuan, in China. There those responsible Chengdu Snow Village believed that it was a good idea to promote among tourists as an idyllic winter destination, with their spine, roofs and trees filled with flakes and gardens with snow dolls. The problem is that the project worked halfway: visitors arrived, but not the snowfall. And of course, They had to improvise. The result has unleashed a delusional controversy. A barbaric idea. Chinese tourists like winter landscapes. Quite. Demonstrates it every year ZHONG GUO XUE XIANGa villa located in a forest in the province of Heilongjiang very popular among Chinese families precisely for their whitish landscapes. Thus, a while ago in Chengdu asked a question: why not do something similar there? What if they took advantage of the snow that falls in winter to create their own holiday people? The result was recently inaugurated: Chengdu Snow Village. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Perfect, right? Yes. And no. Their promoters managed to arouse the interest of tourists, but they failed the most important thing: snow. Chengdu Snow Village was published as a snow -destination (he says so in his own name), but those responsible for the project found that the weeks spent and the long -awaited flakes did not fall or at least not in the necessary amount to color the people the people . “Before it snowed all the winters. So we decided I explained recently One of the employees of the town, adds: “We expected the arrival of the snow, but unfortunately the time did not put on our part.” A for Plan B. The situation was complicated. The holidays of the Lunar New Yearat the end of January, and the weather in Chengdu Snow Village was not expected. Neither does its landscapes. It was more hot and the views had little to do with the whitish prints that visitors expected. What did your managers do? Activate a plan B. One that went to use cotton and water with soap. After all, he had not snowed, but … What prevented the town from creating its own flakes, in an artisanal way, without the need for very expensive cannons? “To recreate an ‘snow’ atmosphere, the tourist people checked cotton to recreate it,” Recognize Chengdu Snow Village. It is not necessary to pull imagination to get an idea of ​​the result. There is photos and Videos They show how the town was after covering its roofs and trees with cotton and soapy water. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Solved crisis? No. The visitors realized that what they saw stacked in the roofs of the cabins or scattered by the roads was not snow, but cotton, and soon shared their anger in networks. “I feel deceived. I think they have insulted my intelligence,” One lamented. Another agreed that he had directly left “speechless” to see that snow was false. And the controversy unleashed. From Chengdu Snow Village they admit that the cotton and the Jabonosa Ajuga did not go well either. “He did not achieve the expected effect, causing a very bad impression among the tourists who came to visit,” They confess. Its managers apologized, they explained that the snow had failed them, they offered to Return the money to their customers and dedicated themselves to cleaning cotton and soap. His apologies have not avoided that what happened in Chengdu has unleashed a considerable stir. Global Times assures That the Chinese authorities are already investigating whether a deceptive advertising case can be considered and the tourist town has announced that it will close its doors for reopening reforms. The case of course has been viralized and today can be read about the peculiar Chengdu experiment with a hit snow in websites of Half planet. A not so strange case. Chengdu is not the only destination that has seen how their expectations were frustrated by the lack of snow, something they have also experienced in their meats tracks ski stations France, Italy and Spain. There are some that have directly closed definitively. In China herself there is another peculiar case: in Harbin, a town known for its extreme invests and its popular ice festival, they have encountered The problem That, given climate warming, the icy layers that extract from the Songua River are thinner. “In previous years I was one meter thick, now it only has twenty to thirty centimeters,” confesses the founder of the festival. Question of imagination. Chengdu also remembers Another controversy Similar in the Chinese province of Henan, where those responsible for a natural park decided to lend a hand to nature to be more surprising. There, yes, there was no snow, cotton or water with soap. What the authorities did was install a pipe to ensure that the impressive stream of the Yuntai waterfall314 m high, have a good amount of water all year, regardless of droughts. When it was discovered with a drone it was generated A considerable stir.

‘The Brutalist’ is so long that it includes an intermediate of 15 minutes. And to the surprise of the director himself, people are delighted

by

Since we began talking about ‘The Brutalist’, Brady Corbet’s movie that It is nominated for ten Oscar And that is presented as one of the favorites to take the lists of the best of the year, all chronicles and criticism emphasized their duration, unusually long, three and a half hours. And also the even more unusual decision to be screened divided into two parts, separated by a fifteen minutes intermediate. But why. Was the intermediate necessary? According to Corbet and his coguionist Mona Fastvold, yes. In An interview with Indie Wire They said that “he was always scripted, the intermediate. He is curious, in a way he has caught the attention of what we expected. I personally have trouble sitting still for three and a half hours, so I needed it. And it was a decision of face to the public “. And they added that “people feel at home and see between eight and sixteen hours of a limited series with small breaks, so if you apply that idea to this movie, you are zampando with a little break in the middle.” Longer and longer movies. There is a very fashionable calculation in these times, in order to maximize the time we dedicate to leisure and that values ​​the profitability of cultural works: the longer, the more value we are giving our free time. In the video game industry, the number of hours needed to finish a game is a detail that is made public before it goes on sale. And the increasingly extensive films and series, guaranteeing the viewer that he can invest a good part of his day (or the whole day) in devouring a story. Only in that context are less and less extraordinary films such as’WICKED‘(160 minutes),’The Batman‘(176),’Oppenheimer‘(180),’ Avengers: Endgame ‘(182) … but none has intermediate. Of course, none lasts 215 minutes. Before there were intermediate, but as you are young you don’t remember it. Decades ago the films passed several times: the change of roll in the projector demanded a pause that was soon eliminated, when the projectors arrived that did not demand to interrupt the projection for the change of roll. And then, the arrival of digital cinema was loaded with that characteristic flicker in the image and sound that the oldest of the place identified with analog cinema. That is, the intermediate of ‘The Brutalist’ is completely unnecessary (unless we have the need to go to the bathroom and stretch our legs, which is not little), and still is done. ‘The Brutalist’ also looks like a movie from another time. A very thoughtful intermediate. The interesting thing about ‘The Brutalist’ is that it is not a cut, as was the case in old films, which happens when a film roll ends, or as it happened in some cinemas with the monstrous ‘also’The Moon Killer‘(206 minutes), when the room seemed convenient. It is a very thoughtful intermediate, which divides the film into two parts that differ in tone and style. The film is something in its first half, and after the intermediate, it is something else. The intermediate helps the viewer prepare for that change, and also reinforces the operatic quality of the film: because in the theater and opera they continue to be intermediates. Everyone loves intermediate. This apparently inconsequential aesthetic decision has become one of the hallmarks most celebrated from the film. It is being said that it is a way of recovering cinema as a total experience, which forces us to comment on what we have seen, to consider what we expect from what remains, and see the film as more than a mere procedure of going to any room To consume passively. Along with his celebration of the mastodontic formats And his classic and precious style, ‘The Brutalist’ has become, beyond an admirable film, a cinephile party.
