Ice Cube is demanding Warner Bros. give him control of the Friday movie franchise
Ice Cube is looking to gain back creative control of the Friday film franchise from Warner Bros. The former N.W.A. performer parlayed his rap career into becoming a leading man when he headlined 1995's Friday. Ice Cube co-wrote Friday with DJ Pooh, where he starred alongside Chris Tucker in the latter's breakout role as Smokey. Friday was a surprise hit of the '90s and became a cult classic, spawning two more sequels – 2000's Next Friday and 2002's Friday After Next.
"I don't know. Warner Bros. is weird right now," Cube said when asked about Last Friday."I don't know what they're doing. They don't know what they're doing. We'd love to have it back. I think it's going be close to a time when we get it back. So, we'll either wait for that time, or we'll keep trying to convince them that they need to let us control the movie. It's my movie, but they have distribution control.
Why Warner Bros. Rejected Scripts for Friday SequelsWarner Bros. has rejected the script for two more Friday sequels, according to Ice Cube. He made that revelation back in October during an appearance on the Drink Champs podcast at LL Cool J's Rock The Bells festival. "Once I take the character's names, it becomes a property of Friday," Cube said of a potential name change."It's useless. They just need to come off that sh-t!"

Changes in the annual sea ice freeze–thaw cycle in the Arctic Ocean from 2001 to 2018Abstract. The annual sea ice freeze–thaw cycle plays a crucial role in the Arctic atmosphere—ice–ocean system, regulating the seasonal energy balance of sea ice and the underlying upper-ocean. Previous studies of the sea ice freeze–thaw cycle were often based on limited accessible in situ or easily available remotely sensed observations of the surface. To better understand the responses of the sea ice to climate change and its coupling to the upper ocean, we combine measurements of the ice surface and bottom using multisource data to investigate the temporal and spatial variations in the freeze–thaw cycle of Arctic sea ice. Observations by 69 sea ice mass balance buoys (IMBs) collected from 2001 to 2018 revealed that the average ice basal melt onset in the Beaufort Gyre occurred on 23 May (±6 d), approximately 17 d earlier than the surface melt onset. The average ice basal melt onset in the central Arctic Ocean occurred on 17 June (±9 d), which was comparable with the surface melt onset. This difference was mainly attributed to the distinct seasonal variations of oceanic heat available to sea ice melt between the two regions. The overall average onset of basal ice growth of the pan Arctic Ocean occurred on 14 November (±21 d), lagging approximately 3 months behind the surface freeze onset. This temporal delay was caused by a combination of cooling the sea ice, the ocean mixed layer, and the ocean subsurface layer, as well as the thermal buffering of snow atop the ice. In the Beaufort Gyre region, both (Lagrangian) IMB observations (2001–2018) and (Eulerian) moored upward-looking sonar (ULS) observations (2003–2018) revealed a trend towards earlier basal melt onset, mainly linked to the earlier warming of the surface ocean. A trend towards earlier onset of basal ice growth was also identified from the IMB observations (multiyear ice), which we attributed to the overall reduction of ice thickness. In contrast, a trend towards delayed onset of basal ice growth was iden
