The Brunch round-up: What went down and how it made us feel

Zoe Saldana has become the only actor in history to appear in four movies that have crossed $2 billion at the worldwide box office. Avatar earned $2.9 billion, Avatar: The Way of Water just crossed the $2 billion mark. She was also in Avengers: Infinity War ($2.052 billion) and Avengers: Endgame ($2.7 billion). Sit down, DC and other Marvel superheroes. Let Neytiri and Gamora (and a Black actor and mother of three) show you what real success looks like.

the @loczniki_official Instagram page. Loczek and Nicki, Polish dancers, play badly simulated NPCs or non-playable characters (the kind you’d see in video games) for fun.

Real people playing at being terrible representations of real people. What’s not to love?

Two fantastic art events in India have a long enough run that we needn’t worry about missing it right this weekend. Mumbai’s Urban Art Festival, St+art India is on all the way into February. The Kochi Biennale wraps up only in April. So, we can check out the works at a slower pace, revisit at leisure and avoid the crowds and the selfie sticks. And not fret about squeezing it all in.
