  Can You Say...Hero? Once upon a time, a little boy loved a stuffed animal whose name was Old Rabbit. It was so old, in fact, that it was really an unstuffed animal; so old that even back then, with the little boy's brain still nice and fresh, he had no memory of it as "Young Rabbit," or even "Rabbit"; so old that Old Rabbit was barely a rabbit at all but rather a greasy hunk of skin without eyes and ears, with a single red stitch where its tongue used to be. The little boy didn't know why he loved Old Rabbit; he just did, and the night he threw it out the car window was the night he learned how to pray. He would grow up to become a great prayer, this little boy, but only intermittently, only fitfully, praying only when fear and desperation drove him to it, and the night he threw Old Rabbit into the darkness was the night that set the pattern, the night that taught him how. He prayed for Old Rabbit's safe return, and when, hours later, his mother and father came home with the filthy, precious strip of rabbity roadkill, he learned not only that prayers are sometimes answered but also the kind of severe effort they entail, the kind of endless frantic summoning. And so when he threw Old Rabbit out the car window the next time, it was gone for good. You were a child once, too. That's what Mister Rogers said, that's what he wrote down, once upon a time, for the doctors. The doctors were ophthalmologists. An ophthalmologist is a doctor who takes care of the eyes. Sometimes, ophthalmologists have to take care of the eyes of children, and some children get very scared, because children know that their world disappears when their eyes close, and they can be afraid that the ophthalmologists will make their eyes close forever. The ophthalmologists did not want to scare children, so they asked Mister Rogers for help, and Mister Rogers agreed to write a chapter for a book the ophthalmologists were putting together—a chapter about what other ophthalmologists could do to calm the children who came to their offices. Because Mister Rogers is such a busy man, however, he could not write the chapter himself, and he asked a woman who worked for him to write it instead. She worked very hard at writing the chapter, until one day she showed what she had written to Mister Rogers, who read it and crossed it all out and wrote a sentence addressed directly to the doctors who would be reading it: "You were a child once, too." And that's how the chapter began.   The Climate Crisis Movie Isn't Out Yet, But We Just Saw the Trailer Perhaps we'll remember the week of July 21, 2019 as the first teaser trailer for the apocalypse. Or maybe we're farther along than that. After all, it was 108 degrees in Paris on Thursday—and not Paris, Texas, either. The Arctic is on fire. And the American West has a bit of a water problem, in that there isn't very much of it.
 The Real Breakout Star of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Is the 10-Year-Old Actress Who Shares Scenes With Leonardo DiCaprio Before she was cast for a significant role in Quentin Tarantino's long-awaited ninth film, Julia Butters had no idea who Quentin Tarantino was. She also didn't know the names Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt, two of the 10-year-old actress's co-stars in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. And though she's a relatively new face in movies (she's been acting in TV roles since she was even younger), Butters might be Hollywood's real star.  The Light-as-Air Shorts You Can Wear Anywhere The clothing item we either don't own enough of or have way, way too many of. I happen to fall into the latter category—and not because I'm trigger happy on copping short pants. No, it's because I've spent years looking for the one short I can just stock up on. Of late, I've found a few pairs worthy of buying in multiples. Everlane's Air Chino short is one of them—and perhaps the most versatile of the lot.
 How Once Upon a Time in Hollywood's Cast Compares to Their Real-Life Counterparts After a long wait, Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood has finally landed in theaters. Set in 1969 Los Angeles, the primary story features the fictional Rick Dalton(Leonardo DiCaprio) and his stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt). His career in decline, Dicaprio's Dalton is thrilled to learn that two of the hottest new stars in Hollywood Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate have moved in next door to him. With the infamous Manson Family murders lurking over the story, Once Upon a Time traverses old school Hollywood on the eve of one of its darkest crimes. This serves as the backdrop for Once Upon a Time, which weaves in fictional characters and real life Hollywood stars into a revisionist history that only Tarantino could pull off—complete with subtle homages to classic cinema, characters, and celebrities. Below, we have a guide to all the characters who appear in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and their real-life counterparts.  These Are the Best Watches Under $500 Watches are a fun addition to your style. Sure, they're not the focus of any given outfit, but that's kind of the point. And we're big fans of having a range of options, like you might with jewelry. Owning one that's good for work, one for the weekend, one for the gym, and one for formal events comes in handy whenever you're getting dressed. It might not be the outfit, but it will make any outfit better, especially if you have an option for every kind of style. We're also big fans of only investing when it's really, really worth it. And sometimes watches are! But other times, like when you're building a range, it's nice to have some on the more budget-friendly end of the spectrum. With all that in mind, we rounded up the best watches to buy under $500. Here's where to start.
