The 2015 Shelby GT350 Mustang’s Engine Is Worthy of a Ferrari

The 2016 Shelby GT350 Mustang features a 5.2-liter V-8 engine that is capable of producing more than 500 hp, with a torque peak above 400 ft lbs—easily the most powerful naturally aspirated engine that Ford has ever produced. Raj Nair, Ford’s group vice president and head of global product development, differentiates this GT350 engine from that of the Ferrari 458 Speciale: “This car is for a different type of performance enthusiast,” he says. “The engine spins faster; it is a free-revving road-racing car.” Other beefed-up elements include enhancements to the front and rear brakes, a racing-style suspension, and six-piston front binders.

Also improving the new Mustang’s performance is the even spacing of the crank pins—at 180-degree intervals instead of the typical 90 degrees—which permits a cylinder-firing order that reduces the overlap of engine exhaust pulses. This allows the engine to breathe better, particularly at higher rpm, creating better performance and a unique and stirring sound for an American V-8. Moray Callum, vice president of design for Ford in North America, says that the team created a whole new Mustang. “All bodywork from the A-pillar forward is unique,” he notes. “We have lowered the hood 2 inches and optimized the aerodynamic shape of the car, which increased downforce and cooling airflow [respectively].”

Unveiled on the premises of what will be the Shelby Automotive Museum near Los Angeles, the Shelby GT350 is expected to start at about $58,000. At the unveiling, Ford announced that the new Shelby GT350 will be the featured model at this summer’s Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion. Most people thought it was going to be a Ferrari.

Mario Balotelli's bizarre celebrations: We look at Liverpool striker's memorable goal reactions

Despite scoring a dramatic late winner for Liverpool against Tottenham on Tuesday night, Mario Balotelli kept his cool.

"When I score, I don't celebrate because I'm only doing my job," Balotelli has said previously. "When a postman delivers letters, does he celebrate?"Considering his close range tap-in came seven minutes from full-time, gave Liverpool's top-four hopes a huge boost and was Balotelli's first in the Premier League for the Reds since his summer move from AC Milan, the Italian, surprisingly, barely celebrated the goal. 

However, there have been other occassions when the 24-year-old's celebrations have grabbed headlines. We take a look at four of them...

Why always me? Old Trafford, October 2011

"I’ll leave it for other people to figure out what it means. I’m sure people can work it out," said Balotelli after revealing the now famous slogan after scoring in the Manchester derby. The celebration came the day after fireworks were let off in his home and summed up Balotelli's prominence in the press for what he does on and off the pitch.

Balotelli bares his chest, June 2012

During Euro 2012 the enigmatic Balotelli was at his very best and scored twice in a 2-1 win over Germany to fire Italy to the final. After blazing in the second, Balotelli removed his shirt, flung it to the floor and flexed his muscles - and picked up a booking in the process. "They didn't get angry because I was booked for taking my shirt off, but they saw my physique and got jealous," he said afterwards.

Nonchalance against Newcastle, November 2011

Balotelli is regarded as a fine penalty-taker but his cool response to slotting in the opener in a 3-1 win over Newcastle in front of over 47,000 fans at the Etihad was a remarkable show of confidence. A feint midway through his run-up deceived Tim Krul and, after seeing the ball hit the net, Balotelli strolled towards the 'keeper with his arms folded. 

Bonucci silences Balotelli, June 2012

Balotelli sealed a 2-0 win over Ireland which ensured Italy qualified for the last eight at Euro 2012. However, not content with grabbing a goal, Balotelli - who had started the game on the bench - had some words for his critics. Fortunately, team-mate Leonardo Bonucci was quick to cover Balotelli's mouth before he said anything controversial. "What he said, he said in English and I didn’t understand," said the defender afterwards. "I put my hand in front of his mouth just in case, because Mario is instinctive but that is also his strength."

Watch: Florence and the Machine post new music and teaser video online

This morning, we brought you news that Florence and the Machine's impending new album release was coming soon - but even we didn't think that we'd be hearing something this soon.

The star hosted a playback of her third album in full last night in London, and has just posted a new teaser video online, dubbed, 'How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful.'

The amazing-looking video sees Flo doing some Sia-style interpretive dancing with a doppelgänger in an amphitheater in the middle of a jungle - as you do - over a brass-laden track.

It's not yet known whether 'How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful' is the title of the album, a song from the album or just the title of the teaser. It's all very mysterious, but the teaser can be seen below.

Watch: Charli XCX covers Taylor Swift's Shake it Off

Charli XCX is kind of a big deal in the pop industry, clocking up hits with the likes of Iggy Azalea and Icona Pop in recent years.

The young Cambridge woman releases her new album 'Sucker' this Friday and is going in all-guns-blazing on the promo trail (check out her… 'different' outfit at the Grammys t'other night).

Her latest stunt has been covering Taylor Swift's 'Shake it Off' for BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge, which you can watch below.

Watch: David LaChapelle directs ballet star in mesmerising new Hozier video

Celebrity photographer David LaChapelle has directed a new promo for Hozier's global smash 'Take Me to Church'.

The video stars Ukrainian ballet dancer Sergei Polunin, who has previously starred in Marc Jacobs ads and is a principal dancer with The Stanislavsky Music Theatre and theNovosibirsk State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre in Russia.

LaChapelle, of course, has directed many music videos in the past for artists like Moby, Elton John and No Doubt.

The singer was suitably impressed by the video, tweeting his approval last night.

Six choices to replace Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man

With news coming in today that Spider-Man is joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe and that Andrew Garfield is to be replaced, we thought we'd do a spot of wild speculation as to who could possibly replace Garfield.

No doubt agents are already lobbying Marvel and Disney, but here's six choices we think would be perfect to portray the friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man.

6. DYLAN O'BRIEN

He was impressive in The Maze Runner and showed that he's more than capable of holding a film up and doing action sequences. He's got the look and the right age to play a young, early-20's Peter Parker and, hopefully, has the comedic chops to play up Spider-Man's lighter moments. The only catch is that he's not exactly name-recognition, but if they can get him on the cheap and build a role for him like they did with Chris Hemsworth, there might be something there.

5. THOMAS BRODIE-SANGSTER

Also a Maze Runner co-star, Brodie-Sangster is currently starring in the incredible BBC miniseries Wolf Hall and he previously did a stint on Game of Thrones. He may look a little TOO young, but if he bulks up a bit, he could be an interesting choice.

4. DOUGLAS BOOTH

We spoke recently with Douglas Booth and asked him about what he had lined up next. The actor, who was a gracious interviewee, clammed up immediately - which means it's a big role. Really big. Could Douglas Booth be playing Spider-Man next, we wonder? Those model-quality looks might play against him as Peter Parker. He's meant to be this dorky-looking kid, not some Armani model type. Now, if you said he was going to play the next Harry Osborn, then yes. That he can do. Much the same way James Franco did it in the original trilogy. Speaking of Franco...

3. DAVE FRANCO

Yes, it's kind of meta to have the brother of James Franco playing Spider-Man, but we think this is a really good choice. Firstly, Dave Franco is funny. Spider-Man had this fantastic humourous streak in the comics that was lost when Tobey Maguire all mopey and Andrew Garfield, bless him, couldn't really pull it off. Spider-Man is supposed to be a working-class Tony Stark - a witty, sarcastic, self-aware superhero. We think Dave Franco's a lock here.

2. DONALD GLOVER

He's campaigned publicly for the role and let's not forget that Spider-Man was African-American for a run in the comics. Plus, like Franco the Younger, he's got a comedic background and he looks the part too. It's not outside the realms of possibility and we personally would love - LOVE - to see Donald Glover as Spider-Man, but we can't see this happening. Still, it means he can keep doing Childish Gambino albums and possibly even return to Community...?

1. TOBEY MAGUIRE

No.... no. No.

American Sniper Full Movie

Clint Eastwood's career in acting was made up of roles that saw strong, square-jawed men standing up to adversity and "the enemy". In later years, the Man With No Name softened and became less about shooting people down and more about what those people tick. Character pieces like The Bridges of Madison County, Bird, Gran Torino and Million Dollar Baby showed that Eastwood could, when he felt like it, cut to the core of what it is to be human and what drives people to do what they do.

In American Sniper, Bradley Cooper plays Chris Kyle, a Navy SEAL credited with over 150 kills in the Iraq War. A Texan, brought up with a rigid, almost simplistic sense of what's right and wrong, Kyle joins the Navy out of a genuine sense of patriotism and a belief in protecting his country. The film is broken up into Kyle's four tours, beginning with an incredibly tense scene involving a young child and mother and Kyle's reluctance to engage them. Kyle's reputation in the service grows, earning him the nickname 'Legend'. He's seen as an invincible, ever-present protector to the soldiers below him, which leads him to believe that he has a duty to them - no matter the personal cost.

It's when he returns home to his wife, Taya, played by Sienna Miller, that the cost of this duty begins to bear out. Kyle is suffering from PTSD, but his stoic nature prevents him from acknowledging it or dealing with. The scenes at home, which serve as the dramatic core of the film, are unfortunately the weakest. Cooper and Miller are both fine actors, yet for some reason, the scenes at home seem simplistic. Kyle's glacial cool ripples here and there, only visibly shaking at a children's party. We believe he's suffering - yet the healing process in the final act is truncated.

American Sniper's strength lies in the explosive, razor-sharp action sequences. Often brutal and violent, Eastwood knows how to pace an action sequence extremely well. The scenes zip along at a quick pace, cutting and weaving scenes that make it feel closer to a genuine action film than a sombre, character-driven biopic. Eastwood is smart enough to make these scenes seem as visceral as possible. There are no waving American flags in their aftermath, no high-fives to a thumping, bombastic soundtrack. Instead, Kyle simply sits and waits for the next one. At just over two hours and fifteen minutes, the film feels brisk. Introducing several supporting characters, the script does its best to make you believe that Kyle wants to help them and that they're important to him. It works, for the most part. Like Kyle, you believe he can protect them - even though, deep down, we know he can't. 

Cooper's performance rests on both his charm and his physical presence. The film has an authenticity to it; you'd believe Cooper could handle himself and his bulky frame informs this. However, the effects of PTSD on him are only barely seen. Instead, we see him struggle with for a few scenes before he - almost miraculously - gets better. Miller's character serves as a reminder to Cooper's that he has a family, vainly attempting to bring him back to reality and understand that his brothers-in-arms are not his family. 

There's definitely an argument to made about American Sniper's politics, and one could certainly say that the film is jingoistic. Kyle and his soldiers regularly refer to their enemy as savages - and indeed, there is brutal savagery on both sides. Yet, for whatever reason, the film casts judgement on them and not on the fact that Kyle has killed a small village's worth of people. Yet, when he proudly declares that he's prepare to answer for "every shot [he] took", you can feel a sense of hollowness in the words. He may be simply repeating them, but it's clear he no longer believes them.

In all, American Sniper is a well-crafted military drama with a strong performance by Cooper and smart direction by Eastwood.

Jupiter Ascending full movie free

A bland and lifeless sci-fi porridge starring two very bored-looking leads, Jupiter Ascending sees the Wachowskis full of ideas and ambition but empty of story and sense. 

Jupiter Jones (Kunis) is a Russian immigrant cleaning toilets to make ends meet. Encouraged by her cousin to harvest her eggs for cash, the procedure brings her into contact with ‘keepers’, aliens employed by Lord Balem (Redmayne), heir to the galactic Abrasax dynasty. He ‘owns’ Earth, which he plans to harvest, and doesn’t need Jupiter, rumoured to have the genetic makeup of their late mother, and thus the queen of Earth/the universe popping up to claim ownership. This rubber-stamping family do things by the book, see. So with assassins out hunting Jupiter, enter Caine (Tatum), a Kyle Reese type to whisk her away from all this.

The rhythm of fight a bit/explain a bit/romance a bit/fight a bit/explain a bit tires quickly. To be fair, the Wachowskis try to slip the hefty exposition in without too much notice but the Frank Herbert-esque hierarchy of noble houses, allegiances and subjects can confuse. There’s no room to sit down and no time to fully appreciate what’s at stake or allow the eye to take in what were potentially impressive visuals: there’s merely a glimpse of majestic ships rising from space dust before the Wachowskis zip off to another location. Even during the brief conversational scenes, the giddy directors can’t help but circle the actors, Bay-like.

The feminist theme that the universe would benefit from a matriarchal society is welcome but contradicts itself with Kunis little more than rescue-fodder, Tatum swooping in more often than not to save the clueless heroine. Merely an observer to the goings on, there only to ask the necessary questions, she sleepwalks through the movie, unable to shake herself from the stupor to gaze lovingly at Tatum’s human-wolf hybrid. There’s zero spark between them. Redmayne’s whispering, fey villain is at least a step outside the norm.

Men In Black, Fifth Element, Dune and Brazil (the latter a fun take on labyrinthine bureaucracy boasting a Terry Gilliam cameo) are all touched on but Jupiter Ascending never fully emerges from its influences to carve out fresh territory. If only the Matrix directors (still their best film fifteen years on) fully embraced the campy nature of its Flash Gordon story then this could have at least been a laugh. But they didn’t and it’s not.

Not funny enough, not cheesy enough, not good enough.

Shaun The Sheep The Movie 2015 full movie

It might feel like a minor release but the latest from Aardman, the studio responsible for Wallace & Gromit, Chicken Run, and The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists, Shaun The Sheep Movie is another triumph.

Fed up with the same old schedule on the farm, Shaun decides to do something different. With the help of the other sheep, the sleeping farmer is locked into his caravan so the flock can enjoy the comforts of the house. However, disaster strikes: the caravan rolls off down the hill and into the Big City, where the farmer is rendered unconscious. He loses his memory and finds celebrity status as a hairdresser to the stars. Meanwhile, Shaun and co. stumble about the city in search, getting into scrapes and avoiding a determined animal catcher.

An adaptation of Aardman’s TV series, which has its own spin-off Timmy Time, Shaun The Sheep The Movie makes the brave decision to resist the temptation to rope in celebrity voices and stick with the TV show’s format of no dialogue - grunts, growls, ‘nyus’ (?) are the order of the day. Not that dialogue is needed: Shaun is a very much a visual thing but credit to directing team of Mark Burton and Richard Starzack for making light work of task, keeping the volume of sight gags coming at an impressive rate. Scenes in the restaurant, the hairdressers and the animal containment unit are a hoot.

Burton and Starzack are making their directorial debut, but it’s the former that is the more experienced, writing Madagascar, Gnomeo and Juliet, Aliens In The Attic, and TV’s Spitting Image. It’s these two that are calling the shots with Aardman main man Nick Park only an ‘executive producer’, which means he has little creative input.

Maybe this is why Shaun, while exhibiting those recognisable Aardman traits - it’s cute, cuddly, and occasionally very funny with a humour that appeals to all ages – there are some sequences here that aren’t quite in the same vibe as Wallace, Pirates et al. Maybe that’s down to the soundtrack. The montages set to pop songs (Kaiser Chief’s Nick Hodgson pens Eliza Doolittle’s 'Big City' and the power pop 'Feels Like Summer', performed by Ash’s Tim Wheeler, don’t quite feel like Aardman. Primal Scream’s Rocks Off certainly doesn’t.)

But this won’t disappoint Aardman’s fans. Now we all need is a Feathers McGraw movie.

Amour fou full movie online

It has taken some time to follow up Lourdes (2009) but Jessica Hausner shows that she has no intention of changing tact or style in another deathly-slow drama based on the final days of German writer Heinrich von Kleist.

Berlin at the turn of the 19th century is a city of social and political reforms and the plain-talking poet Heinrich (Friedel) has been caught up in Werther Fever – a wave of suicides that followed the publication of von Goethe's paean to unrequited love The Sorrows Of Young Werther (think Morrissey but with a more macabre follow through). He longs to find someone to die with and sets his sights on Henriette (Schoeink), a married mother of one who, after encountering this sensitive oddity, suffers a swift deterioration in health that baffle the local doctors...

Like Lourdes, Amour Fou is of the Haneke school of austerity. It's deliberately stiff, lifeless, rigid, staid. The most energetic movements belong to the pianist's fingers. The meticulously-framed and symmetrical shots divide and isolate the characters, who speak with little connection to the words they say. Emotions are dealt with a business-like efficiency. Hausner's eye, forever cold and distant, moves the camera only once, zooming ever so slightly in during the one exchange that approaches genuine love.

But there is humour to be found. Obviously, the title is a knowing gag and the kind of wit that Hausner unexpectedly dots the running time with. Most of the smirks lie with Heinrich's navel-gazer and his exasperating self-regard and self-importance. He woos Henriette into his murder-suicide pact but ditches her later when he learns she's only doing this because she's terminally ill, not because she loves him. With all the revelling in self-inflicted drama, this times feels like a distant cousin to Heathers.

But there's more going on yet. The mute maid might distractingly pop up in scenes but the reason for her constant presence slowly reveals itself: while her noble masters have time and money to sit around discussing tax reforms, the freeing of the peasants, and can obsess about love, death and the universe, she cleans tables, turns pages, and generally gets on with things - her simple actions mocking their intellectualising.

2015 Oscars - The Predictions

With last night's SAG Awards, we're now heading into the final round of Awards Season. February 22nd will see the 87th Academy Awards take place.

It's been one of the most controversial years in Oscar history, with wide-ranging discussion about the nature of the Academy's nominees and the lack of diversity in their choices.

So, to the nominees in question. We've kept it to the well-known categories and formulated our analysis from previous winners, voting trends and a ouija board we found in one of the cabinets in the office.

Here we go:

Best Actress

Julianne Moore, Still Alice
Reese Witherspoon, Wild
Rosamund Pike, Gone Girl
Felicity Jones, The Theory of Everything
Marion Cotillard, Two Days, One Night

And the winner is...

Julianne Moore. She picked up the winner at the Golden Globes and she's the most deserving. Redheads of the world, unite.

 Best Actor

Michael Keaton, Birdman
Eddie Redmayne, The Theory of Everything
Benedict Cumberbatch, The Imitation Game
Steve Carell, Foxcatcher
Bradley Cooper, American Sniper

And the winner is...

If you asked us this before last night's SAG Awards, we'd have said Michael Keaton. Hands down, no question. Now with Eddie Redmayne winning the SAG Award for Best Actor, it evenly splits the vote. If you're putting money down, split your bet between Redmayne and Keaton. We'd like to see Keaton win because, y'know, he's Batman. In reality, it'll probably end up going to Redmayne.

 Best Supporting Actor

J.K. Simmons, Whiplash
Edward Norton, Birdman
Ethan Hawke, Boyhood
Mark Ruffalo, Foxcatcher
Robert Duvall, The Judge

And the winner is...

JK Simmons and his terrifying drill sergeant / band-leader in Whiplash.

 Best Supporting Actress

Patricia Arquette, Boyhood
Emma Stone, Birdman
Keira Knightley, The Imitation Game
Meryl Streep, Into the Woods
Laura Dern, Wild 

And the winner is...

Patricia Arquette's been scooping up awards left and right for her powerhouse performance in Boyhood. We don't want to live in a world where she doesn't win this.

 Best Director

Richard Linklater, Boyhood
Alejandro González Iñárritu, Birdman
Wes Anderson, The Grand Budapest Hotel
Morten Tyldum, The Imitation Game
Bennett Miller, Foxcatcher

And the winner is...

Again, like Arquette, Linklater's the heavy favourite here to win. It could potentially go to Birdman, but the smart money says to back Linklater and Boyhood. Late 90's nostalgia always wins the day.

 Best Original Screenplay

Dan Futterman, E. Max Frye, Foxcatcher
Alejandro González Iñárritu, Armando Bo, Nicolás Giacobone, Birdman
Wes Anderson, Hugo Guinness, The Grand Budapest Hotel
Dan Gilroy, Nightcrawler
Richard Linklater, Boyhood
 

And the winner is...

If there was any justice, Nightcrawler and Dan Gilroy would win this. The reality, unfortunately, is that it's just too dark and weird for the Academy. So, most likely to win? Probably Birdman or Grand Budapest Hotel.

 Best Adapted Screenplay

Graham Moore, The Imitation Game
Anthony McCarten, The Theory of Everything
Damien Chazelle, Whiplash
Jason Hall, American Sniper
Paul Thomas Anderson, Inherent Vice

And the winner is...

There's a real potential for an upset here. American Sniper has pretty much devastated all the other nominees in terms of box-office earnings. We're not saying that's an indicator of worth or quality, but it's definitely worth considering in terms of analysis. Whiplash should rightfully win here, but you could also see The Imitation Game or Theory of Everything sneak in and snag it.

 Best Picture

Boyhood
The Imitation Game
Birdman
The Theory of Everything
The Grand Budapest Hotel
Whiplash
Selma
American Sniper 

And the winner is...

It's a tie between Birdman and Boyhood. More than likely, Boyhood will win out on the night. However, there's a real chance that the Academy could vote against expectation and address the criticisms it's been getting about diversity and hand the award to Selma. It's highly unlikely, but it's still a possibility.

 Best Animated Feature

Big Hero 6
How to Train Your Dragon 2
The Boxtrolls
Song of the Sea
The Tale of Princess Kaguya

And the winner is...

Lego Movie. LEGO MOVIE. LEGO MOVIE. LEGO MOVIE. LEGO MOVIE. (It's not nominated, but we don't care. This category is a joke. We have to pick one? Fine. Song of the Sea, then. It's really great and all, but does it have Batman singing and a cameo from Lando Calrissian? NO. No, most likely it'll probably go to Big Hero 6 and Baymax's cute cuteness. Also, it's like this generation's Incredibles.)

Watch: Dakota Johnson does her best 'sexy' in attempt to sell 'Fifty Shades' on Jimmy Fallon

God loves a trier, right?

Following on Jamie Dornan's appearance on the show trying his hand at all sorts of accents while reading 'Fifty Shades...' passages aloud earlier in the week, Dakota Johnson took to Jimmy's couch last night and did her best at being 'sexy' and selling 'Fifty Shades of Grey' for all she's worth. You can almost see the words 'contractual obligation' blazing out of her eyes.

With it being widely speculated and accepted that both Dornan and Johnson have zero time for each other and the movie they're having to promote, Fallon's latest segment dubbed 'Anything Can Be Sexy with Dakota Johnson' feels like nothing but an added torture for poor Dakota, who was forced to do turn asinine statements into stereotypical soft porn dialogue alongside Jimmy and some (in)appropriately honky muzak.

We really can't see her making an appearance in the two confirmed sequels. She'll probably still be in therapy for this press tour by the time they film anyway.

Watch: Taylor Swift having none of interviewer saying she's going home with 'lots of men'

This must have gotten lost in all the Grammys madness from yesterday because it really is essential viewing.

On the red carpet at the Grammys on Sunday night, Taylor Swift was told by Entertainment Tonight's Nancy O'Dell that she was 'going to be walking home with more than lots of trophies' but also 'lots of men'. And Taylor Swift being Taylor Swift gave the swiftest (eeeeeeeey) response after the most telling and brilliant look and one-second pause that anyone's possible ever given an interviewer.

There's so much said and unsaid that it deserves to be watched to infinity.

The full interview is below, which shows how much a pro she is and how quickly old Swifto can bounce back from a dig and just carry on the interview, although Nancy O'Dell's certainly feeling the awkwardness after her question bombs.

Watch: Remember the video of Miley hanging upside down topless? She's submitted it to NYC Porn Fest

First thing's first - this is NSFW, obvs...

Now - of course you remember. We posted it last May. It was directed by Quentin Jones and was for nowness.com? Anyway, it obviously didn't get the amount of attention Miley had hoped for because she's now reportedly submitted the vid for the The NYC Porn Film Festival, presented byPornhub, which starts February 27th. She's been specific and sent it into the S&M category.

The following comes via Uproxx.com: "Cyrus has submitted a short film called Tongue Tied, which was actually released last May and played during shows on the Bangerz tour. Fest founderSimon Leahy claims 'it’s a pop take on S&M,' and that Cyrus is 'starting to become more of a contemporary artist'." Or, Madonna.

The fact this originally came to light almost a year ago doesn't exactly embody the sentiment of 'nowness', but better late than never, hah?

Tila Tequila fans will be thrilled to hear she's also involved herself. Her submission is reportedly entitled (apologies if you're eating lunch) Tila Tequila: Backdoored & Squirting.

Watch: Anna Faris' excruciating tale of having Mickey Rourke shush her baby on a long flight

We all have travel horror stories, but this one probably trumps yours by a country mile.

Anna Faris, half of one of our favourite celeb couples ever, told the tale of long haul travel with her young son that is every parent's nightmare to Jimmy Kimmel last night, but her's contained the added celebrity touch of a cameo from one of the biggest names in Hollywood.

According to Faris, she was flying back from visiting husband Chris Pratt on the set of Guardians of the Galaxy in London with their young son when he began making babbling noises in the cabin on the plane, as babies are wont to do. And instead of stoically putting in some earplugs or headphones, one fellow passenger decided that he would encourage the child to be silent by shushing him. And that passenger was Mickey Rourke.

Faris is notably scarred by the interaction, but at least she has a story out of it.

Non-parents and travelers of the world take note. Most parents realise that their child is doing what they're doing on the plane/train/whatever, so take a minute before you turn into a Mickey Rourke type asshole and put yourself in their shoes. So you've to deal with a toddler making noise for a solid few hours? Think of the parents who have to deal with it all the time and are probably exhausted, and then consider whether or not your chastising is going to help anyone.
