Synopsis: 'I'm walkin' here!' Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight star in the undisputed classic drama Midnight Cowboy, making its worldwide debut on 4K UHD with Dolby Vision. The winner of Best Picture at the Academy Awards, Midnight Cowboy has achieved a legacy like few other films. A dissection of the nostalgia of the New York nightmare, this raw, uncompromising picture takes you inside the minds of two desperate men chasing dreams in a city that offers none.
When Joe Buck, a good-looking, naïvely charming Texas 'cowboy' makes his way to the Big Apple to seek his fortune, the only wealth he finds is in the friendship of Ratso Rizzo, a sleazy, small-time con man with big dreams. Living on the tattered fringe of society, these two outcasts develop an unlikely bond, one that transcends their broken dreams. Based on the book by James Leo Herlihy, and directed by John Schlesinger (who won the Oscar for Best Director for his work on this film), Midnight Cowboy continues to stand the test of time almost sixty years since its release, now fully restored and ripe for rediscovery in 4K.
This Limited Edition 3-Disc Hardbox also includes the 2022 feature documentary Desperate Souls, Dark City and the Legend of Midnight Cowboy.
1500 copies only.

Archer Aviation Is Linking Up With the FAA in a Victory for eVTOLs. Should You Buy ACHR Stock Here?
Archer Aviation (ACHR) is gaining on news that it is coordinating with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Department of Transportation (DOT) to harmonize eVTOL rollouts in multiple nations. The statement, at the Paris Air Show, unveils a worldwide coalition with the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, and Canada — collaborating to establish a single worldwide certification regimen. The coalition was touted by CEO Adam Goldstein as 'a step towards bringing our Midnight aircraft to skies around the world.' This breakthrough reflects its efforts to introduce electric aircraft to commercial airspace, also recently supported by a U.S. executive order in favor of eVTOL testing and pilots. CoreWeave Just Revealed the Largest-Ever Nvidia Blackwell GPU Cluster. Should You Buy CRWV Stock? AMD Is Gunning for Nvidia's AI Chip Throne. Should You Buy AMD Stock Now? The Saturday Spread: Statistical Signals Flash Green for CMG, TMUS and VALE Stop Missing Market Moves: Get the FREE Barchart Brief – your midday dose of stock movers, trending sectors, and actionable trade ideas, delivered right to your inbox. Sign Up Now! ACHR is picking up steam on multiple fronts: commercial relationships, AI acceptance, and expansion worldwide. ACHR remains sector leader, up over 220% in the past year. Archer Aviation (ACHR) is a California-based firm that is conceptualizing electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft with a concentration primarily on urban air mobility. Archer, with a market cap of nearly $5.6 billion, is one of the relatively few eVTOL startups with over $1 billion in cash and deep partnerships led by United Airlines (UAL) and Stellantis (STLA). ACHR stock has increased by 224% over the past 12 months, far outperforming the S&P 500 Index ($SPX). The stock touched a high of $13.92 during 2025 and remains extremely volatile, as its 52-week low is $2.82. Valuation-wise, Archer is currently trading at 5.54x price-book and 0.06x debt-equity. Since revenue is zero for the time being — as is typical for a company that hasn't commercialized yet — its enterprise value of $4.8 billion indicates tremendous investor belief in its future earning ability, especially with its growing backlog and high-margin commercialization strategy. Archer reported a Q1 2025 GAAP net loss of $93.4 million and an adjusted EBITDA loss of $109 million, just slightly better than feared. Operating expenses were $144 million and adjusted operating expenses were $113 million. Archer now controls over $1 billion in cash, so it now has the best balance sheet in the eVTOL space. For the future, management predicts losses in Q2 adjusted EBITDA of $100 million to $120 million. Investors are looking toward commercial milestones, and not profitability, despite ongoing losses. Recent news includes a firm summer delivery timeline for the company's first Midnight aircraft to the UAE. Abu Dhabi Aviation and Ethiopian Airlines are the first customers under the 'Launch Edition' program, designed to create a repeatable commercialization platform. Separately, Archer announced a strategic collaboration with Palantir (PLTR) to together create flight software and future aviation systems. The collaboration would enable Archer to gain a technological edge as it makes the transition from test flying to commercial operations. According to Barchart data, Archer Aviation has a 'Moderate Buy' consensus rating. Archer Aviation is covered by various analysts at present, and the majority of them are still bullish despite increased commercial traction. Its average price target is $11.94, good for 19% of potential gain. The high and low targets are $18.00 and $4.50, respectively, signs of wide disagreement due to commercialization risk, execution, and the need for eventual financing down the road.

Japan's high-tech sunscreens tap into skincare craze
When YouTuber Hannah Price set out to compare Japanese and Australian sunscreen, she wasn't expecting her deep dive into the subject to rack up over two million views. The huge number of people poring over Price's video shows the growing interest in skincare products from Japan, much like the K-beauty phenomenon from South Korea. It includes sun protection, increasingly recognised as a daily essential by influencers who want to shield their skin from ageing and enthuse about the lightweight texture of Japanese brands. Companies that have perfected their secret formulas want to capitalise on booming demand, including by building factories overseas and selling to Japan's record influx of foreign tourists. Price, 32, fell into a "year-long rabbit hole" while making her video, learning about everything from SPF science to cultural attitudes to sun exposure. "I always loved Japanese sunscreen, since I first moved to Japan in 2012," she told AFP at her studio in Tokyo. "I remember trying it for the first time and thinking, 'this is so much better than anything I tried in Australia'," her home country where sun cream felt "thick, sticky, greasy". "I thought that the video would be popular... but I wasn't expecting it to reach as far" as it did, Price said. The habit of regular sunscreen use is spreading, especially among younger generations, said Takuya Wada, who works in marketing for Japanese chemical and cosmetics firm Kao. "There are no borders when it comes to obtaining information on social media, especially Instagram and TikTok," he said, adding that influencer posts have a "very large" impact on global sunscreen sales. - 'Beautifully white' - The global skincare market was worth more than $115 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow to $194 billion by 2032, according to Fortune Business Insights. A boom in celebrity skincare brands has contributed to the industry's growth -- with A-listers like Kylie Jenner using social media to share their beauty routines, including sun protection, with hundreds of millions of followers. When it comes to sunscreen, country-specific regulations mean no single company dominates the field, as the entry barriers to new markets are higher. Kao's main sunscreen brand Biore UV is ranked 10th worldwide for sales, and second in Asia -- competing with the likes of L'Oreal and Beiersdorf, and Japanese rivals such as Shiseido. The company wants sales from sun protection to reach 35 billion yen ($240 million) in 2027, up 1.6 times from 2023. It plans to boost overseas production by opening three new sunscreen factories, in Indonesia, Brazil and Germany. It is technically difficult to develop formulas that block the rays effectively with a smooth texture, as demanded by Japanese consumers, said Takashi Fukui, research and development director for Kao skincare products. But using scientific know-how to strike this tricky balance is what makes Kao "different from other European or American makers". In Japan, a cultural obsession with light skin dates back to the sixth century and using white powder imported from China later became a status symbol among nobility. Fair skin indicated a life away from outdoor labour and sun exposure, and an old Japanese proverb says "white skin covers the seven flaws". In the 1990s, people began using sunscreen or other cosmetics to avoid tanning -- a trend dubbed "bihaku", or beautifully white. These days, Japanese women use sunscreen as everyday protection against sunspots and ageing, caused when UV rays penetrate into the skin, said Fukui. - Winter sun - Tans have long been fashionable in Western countries, but awareness of skin cancer risks is rising, making sunscreen an important healthcare product there, Fukui said. One fan of Japanese brands is Thai skincare influencer Suari Tasanakulpan, who calls them "lightweight" compared to "heavy and uncomfortable" Western offerings. "There are always new technologies and innovative textures that are often ahead of other countries," the 40-year-old, who reviews sunscreens on YouTube, told AFP. At an outlet of drugstore chain MatsukiyoCocokara in Tokyo's Shibuya district, around 90 sunscreen products are lined up on the shelves. "Sales of sunscreen is improving year on year," said Takeshi Otsuki, deputy manager of the chain's cosmetic division. "More people are using sunscreen on a daily basis these days, so their needs are becoming more diverse," he said. The number of male customers is also increasing, and Japanese sunscreens are very popular with overseas tourists who buy them in multipacks, Otsuki said. While summer is high season, sunscreen is popular year-round, because Japan has a "relatively high number of sunny days in the winter, and the sunlight hours are long". YouTuber Price now uses both Japanese and Australian sunscreen, depending on the occasion. She sees the rise in education about sunscreens worldwide as a win-win situation. It "means you're going to be better protected in general, which is great for everyone", she said. nf/kaf/ecl/fox Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

Katy Perry Reportedly 'Doesn't Want To Give Up' On Her Relationship With Orlando Bloom Amid 'Rough Patch'
Katy Perry is still hopeful that her relationship with Orlando Bloom won't end despite hitting a "rough patch." According to reports, the pop star "doesn't want to just give up" and is set to have a heart-to-heart conversation with the actor when she takes a break from her Lifetimes Tour. Distance reportedly contributed to their "rough patch," particularly her ongoing tour and other "work commitments." Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have been dating for nearly a decade and share a four-year-old daughter, Daisy. Earlier in the month, rumors swirled that Perry and Bloom had hit a "rough patch" in their nearly decade-long relationship. According to reports at the time, the pop star had grown deeply frustrated with her album being critically panned. It was also claimed that they had grown apart and were no longer living the same lives. Despite speculation that the duo might be ready to call things off for good, a source has revealed that there is still hope for Bloom and Perry's romance to survive. "No one has decided it's definitely the end of the road for Katy and Orlando," the insider told The Sun, adding that they "both love each other." What's more, Perry "doesn't want to just give up" on the relationship, seemingly due to the fact that they have been together for so long and also share a daughter, Daisy. Currently, Perry is on the Australian leg of her Lifetimes Tour, after she last hit the road in 2018. While the tour has definitely placed the singer back in the limelight, the source said it has caused the "biggest disruption" to what she shared with Bloom due to the extensive preparation, rehearsals, and travel that have gone into it. "Katy and Orlando have been disconnected for a while now, and with their work commitments, have been living separate lives," the insider further shared about the situation between the engaged couple. "They have barely been together for a decent amount of time, without distractions, for many, many months," the source added. "It has been 'go, go, go' and they thrived when they enjoyed a more settled life, being together in the same place for a length of time. But that has just not happened." After performing in Adelaide, Australia, on June 30, Perry will go on a break until her July 10 date in Denver, Colorado. During this break, she will reportedly "reunite" with Bloom and have a heart-to-heart conversation that will either make or break their romance. "The plan is for them to reunite over the July 4 break. She has mentioned jetting back from Australia to spend time with Orlando, Daisy, her sister Angela, and her kids," the insider noted. Ahead of the outcome of the alleged talks, the "huge amount of love" between Perry and Bloom has sparked hope that they can "ride out this rough patch." "Anyone in long-term relationships goes through challenges, and many times when things appear to be done, couples reconnect and make things work," added the source. They continued, "The type of people they are, there still remains a lot of hope. Katy has never been happier in her life than with Orlando. If this reunion can revive those times, then they could come through this." Previously, The Sun reported that Bloom "did not approve" of Perry's all-female trip to space on billionaire mogul Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin spacecraft. A source who spoke with the news outlet claimed that the actor never thought "going on the mission was a good idea" and was "frustrated" and "disappointed" by her decision to embark on it nonetheless. The insider went further to explain that Bloom "knew she would get backlash" from the mission, which is why he opposed it from the outset. "From day one, Orlando didn't think going on the Blue Origin mission was a good idea, and knew she would face backlash," the source noted. "He always thought it was a stupid idea, and she wouldn't get anything positive out of it."
