Description:
Is the romantic comedy dead? It’s a question many fans of the genre have been asking themselves over the years following its heyday in past decades. There have been glimmers of hope for the genre here and there, though, whether that be Anyone But You’s recent box office success or the release of Upgraded, which just landed on Amazon Prime. When CinemaBlend spoke to the new movie’s director, she shared just how much attention she and the filmmakers paid to the rom-coms of the past we all have fallen for over and over… and over.<br/><br/>Carlson Young helmed Upgraded, with this being her second feature film and first romantic comedy. The director is also an actress who was part of the Scream TV series, among a number of credits over the years.

I'm receiving thousands of death threats.<br/><br/>'I just wanted my boobs to be international! Honestly, boobs are harmless.'<br/><br/>The model and TikTok star continued: 'Being topless in NYC is legal and the shutdown wasn't entirely my responsibility.<br/><br/>'I'm sure the world has noted there were more heinous things displayed by other people in the portal.<br/><br/>'Plus, Elon Musk replied to a tweet about it - now he has seen my boobies!'<br/><br/>In the clip, Ava can be seen walking up to the New York side of the portal, next to the Flatiron Building, which shows people at North Earl Street and O'Connell Street, Dublin.<br/><br/>She donned a casual ensemble of black leggings and a small white top which she enthusiastically raised as she screamed 'yay.'<br/><br/>The portal was launched on May 8 as an invitation to meet people 'above borders and differences,' said Benediktas Gylys, the Lithuanian artist and founder.<br/><br/>'The live stream provides a window between distant locations, allowing people to meet outside of their social circles and cultures, transcend geographical boundaries, and embrace the beauty of global interconnectedness.'<br/><br/>The Dublin portal is set to eventually be connected with other destinations, including Poland, Brazil, and Lithuania.<br/><br/>But Ava is not the only visitor to the portal to cause a stir after some used the futuristic sculpture for offensive jibes including people sharing videos of 9/11.")
