Sunglasses? Check. Flask? Check. Time for Adventure

At The Manual, we like to think of adventure as any physical or mental undertaking that broadens your proverbial horizons and enhances your quality of life. Using that definition, we suppose that the Shwood x Stanley Adventure Pack qualifies as necessary adventure gear.

Shwood, a Portland-based sunglasses company, and Stanley, the legendary flask-maker, have teamed up to create the Shwood x Stanley Adventure Pack, which consists of — you guessed it — a pair of sunglasses and a flask.

Stanley has been making high-quality beverage containers for over 100 years. Their insulated “vacuum bottles” have been through a lot in that time — including use in B-52 bombers during World War II. Their classic flasks have also endured more than their fair share of adventures, and you can bet that your Stanley flask will perform admirably no matter where you take it, or it takes you (depending on how much booze you put in there).

The particular flask that makes up one half of the Adventure Pack is the Classic 8 oz hammertone model. It comes wrapped in a handsome leather pouch with an exquisite “Experiment with Nature” insignia etched into it. Flasks and sunglasses are available in navy and green.

When purchasing your Adventure Pack, you can choose between two Shwood frames: the Canby and the Francis. The Canby gently curves into the popular wayfarer shape,shwood-wood-titanium-sunglasses-canby-stanley-hammertone-green-walnut-grey-polarized-left-s-2200x800_burned  while the Francis frames rock a more rounded shape and keyhole bridge. Both pairs of sunglasses have the same hammertone texture that adorns the Stanley flasks, plus handsome wood tips on the titanium arms.

You might say that life is one long adventure, filled with unpredictable turns and circumstances. Wherever you roam, the Adventure Pack will protect you from glare and sobriety.

The first trailer for I Know What You Did Last Summer proves that no franchise is truly dead
Almost 30 years after the original, we're following a new group of hunted teens.
Jennifer Love Hewitt in I Know What You Did Last Summer

If you were one of those people who was wondering when we might get a third I Know What You Did Last Summer movie, then you're in luck. The first trailer for the new film is here, and it features Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. reprising their roles as Julie James and Ray Bronson from the first two films in the franchise.

The film, which is somewhat confusingly called I Know What You Did Last Summer, was directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson and will serve as a direct sequel to the original 1997 film. In that film, a group of friends are hunted by a killer with a hooked hand one year after they killed someone in a hit-and-run accident.

Max is following Netflix’s lead and cracking down on password sharing
The move will generate some additional revenue for Warner Bros. Discovery
The Max logo.

If you've been sharing your Max account with someone else, Max is trying to make your life harder. Variety is reporting that Max just added an Extra Member Add-On feature in the U.S., priced at $7.99/month. This lets the primary account holder share their account with someone outside of their household. These additional members will be able to create a separate account that is linked to the primary subscriber.

Warner Bros. Discovery had previously said that they plan to notify users about new restrictions on sharing accounts outside of their primary household. This move by Max follows similar efforts by Netflix and Disney+, and are obviously designed to generate additional revenue from users who are currently sharing accounts across households.

Everything we know about the four Beatles biopics
Get ready for Beatlemania
The Beatles sitting together

As if there aren't enough musical biopics that have been released in the last decade, director Sam Mendes is adding a quartet of Beatles movies to his filmography. A unique set of films that connect into one greater whole, the upcoming Beatles biopics have to be watched together to get a full appreciation of the band's story. Much like Marvel fans who watch all of the superhero movies to get the best experience out of the story, this set of films will work the same way. Whether making an expanded Beatles universe of films is a good idea or not remains to be seen.

Each film will give equal screentime to Paul McCartney, George Harrison, John Lennon, and Ringo Starr. They will come out around the same time to encourage fans to see all of them. This is made possible by a simultaneous filming schedule in which all four movies will be produced alongside each other. The estimated release date is sometime in April 2028, according to Gold Radio. Sony hasn't decided yet whether all four movies will come out on the same day or whether there will be slight differences in release, whether that be one a week, etc. We have everything you need to know about the four Beatles movies right here, from the actors in the films to each Beatle's importance today.
