The characters in The Last of Us games aren’t exactly known for their fashion sense (the apocalypse will do that to your look), which is why most of the set photos we’ve seen of Pedro Pascal’s Joel and Bella Ramsey’s Ellie so far have been…muted. While it’s easy to see that the series’ wardrobe team is trying to replicate the general look of The Last of Us games, we haven’t seen a ton of photos from the set of the show so far that suggest the series’ main characters will be wearing a ton of specific outfits pulled directly from the games....

In George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series, the men of the Night’s Watch are known for “taking the black,” describing the night-dark garb they don when they pledge the remainder of their lifetimes to being posted on the Wall at the northern border of the Seven Kingdoms. Night gathers, and now my watch begins, is the start of their vow upon taking the black. It shall not end until my death....

The Magicians Season 3 Episode 11 This week’s The Magicians may have melted a few brains with its multiple timelines, but in placing just the right set of difficulties in front of Julia, the god-touched hedge witch has taken center stage in a big way. In the most unexpected turn of events, characters like Marina, Penny, and Josh were resurrected, transformed, and given completely new conflicts to deal with while at the same time the search for the keys continued in a way that almost indicates that magic wants the quest to be completed....

The DeCavalcante family is much more historically embedded in the mob than most people know, going back to the earliest days of the Black Hand and Mafia in America. Giovanni spent nearly three years undercover working his way into the hierarchy. The assignment ended when he was ordered by capo Charlie “the Hat” Stango to hit Luigi “the Dog” Oliveri, a made man, in March 2015. Giovani turned his house into a fortress for months after the mob takedown....

“Halloween is inching closer, and it wouldn’t be a spooky celebration without an appearance from the ‘First Family of Darkness’ themselves,” reads the press statement. “Get ready for a family fright night like no other.” The Osbournes will go inside the Heritage Square Museum, a haunted historical site in the heart of Los Angeles. “Most families go pumpkin picking around Halloween. The Osbournes – we go ghost hunting,” Jack Osbourne said in a statement....

The Simpsons Season 33 Episode 14 Spoiler alert: this The Simpsons season 33 episode 14, review is filled with clickbait. “You Won’t Believe What This Episode Is About – Act Three Will Shock You!” is more than an overlong title, it’s a very current and radical installment in the long-running series. Okay, radical is going too far, but it is timely, progressive, and long overdue. Herstory is more than an amazing industrial vacuum rental slogan....

This Star Fox fan game on PC that has been in the works since 2014. The game is currently being developed with the Freespace Open engine, which powers the space combat sim Freespace 2. So, technically, Star Fox Event Horizon is a Freespace 2 mod, but when UndyingNephalim is finished, his project will be a standalone title you can play without the source game, and for free. If you’ve ever played a Star Fox game, you basically know how Star Fox Event Horizon functions....

Later this summer, Elba will make his DC Extended Universe debut in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad – a comic book adaption full of talent who could carry their own features if given the opportunity. We recently spoke with him about his role as the lesser-known comic character Bloodsport and what it was like to be part of such a chaotic batch of DC villains and antiheroes. How were you first approached for the role for Bloodsport, and what made you say yes?...

As literally said in the new sizzle-turned-trailer footage below, The Suicide Squad is intended to be unlike any superhero movie you’ve ever seen. “This one is completely unique,” says producer Peter Sarafan in the teaser. “This one is a gritty 1970s war movie combined with the brilliance of James Gunn’s character and comedy.” That means Harley Quinn looking more like how Paul Dini and Bruce Timm originally imagined her ever before, and John Cena’s Peacemaker walking around like a literal parody of Marvel Studios’ Captain America....

Grief is all the rage on television right now. Though series like WandaVision and Snowpiercer went into production before the coronavirus pandemic gripped the globe, they arrived during a time in which we all had a lot of trauma to process. Over on The Walking Dead, however, grappling with such concepts has been the norm all along. The show’s first episode dealt with an apocalyptic event that wiped out the majority of the population and since then its characters have known the names of the dead better than the names of the living....

What we’re talking about is the fact that the show is littered with conversations between disgustingly rich people that often make you want to shield your eyes and clog your ears. The awkward tension that emits off the screen is palpable in a way that can only be described as Succession on steroids. The characters say things that would make the corniest characters who have ever existed blush a dozen different reds....

The White Lotus Season 2 Episode 3 Allow me to wax philosophical with you for a few moments. Answer me this question: can human beings change the most internally integrated parts of their personalities? The qualities that define your morals, your ethics, or your everyday decision-making? Can a man who’s addicted to the touch of the female body suddenly escape the allure of constant sexual intercourse? Or maybe the better question would be the reversal of such a thought: can the temptation of a stable man’s most primal urges cloud his judgment, soiling the principles that make him the person he’s been his entire life?...

How’s this for a pitch for The Lego Batman Movie 2? A dramatic ordeal resembling themes from The Godfather Part II and Boogie Nights teaches Batman the value of friendship. Of course, those rather random sources of inspiration—from a dour early 1970s-era epic and 70s-nostalgic 1990s cinematic caricature—may seem like a puzzling plot structure for the kid-friendly animated film franchise, but there was a method to the apparent madness, which was to be based on a script by Rick and Morty’s creative duo, Dan Harmon and Michael Waldron....

The multiple first look previews that Netflix shared for The Witcher season 2 during its TUDUM event seems to indicate that Geralt will become a father figure to Ciri, or at the very least a caretaker and mentor as the young woman trains to become a witcher herself. But what is involved in such an endeavor, and will Geralt’s efforts actually protect the girl in his charge or put her in further peril?...

Twisty-turny thriller The Woman in the Window has arrived on Netflix with some distinct Hitchcockian vibes. It’s based on the bestselling novel by A. J. Finn and directed by Joe Wright (Atonement, Anna Karenina, Darkest Hour), with Amy Adams as the titular woman. This is classic high-concept crime drama in the style of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train while the premise is reminiscent of Rear Window. Adams plays Anna Fox, an agoraphobic woman who believes she has witnessed one of her neighbors being murdered in her own home, which she views from out her window....

“We launched into a new chapter of Titans 2.0,” says Greg Walker, showrunner for the DC Universe streaming series. But whatever relative peace our heroes might have hoped for faded quickly as specters from Titans’ past began to emerge. And this, said Walker, is where season 2 will continue, which becomes especially evident in this week’s episode, “Ghosts.” “There is a mythology that comes back to haunt them like a cancer,” Walker says....

Whether it’s backend or frontend (or even spaceships), JavaScript is everywhere. It’s also quite a flexible language (meaning it’s got hardcore functional programming patterns as well as good ol’ classes), and its similarity to other “C-like” languages makes for an easy transition for developers from other languages. If you want to level up your JS game, I suggest you learn about, practice, and eventually master the following core functions available in the language....

The Thousand Eyes by A.K. Larkwood Type: NovelPublisher: Tor BooksRelease date: Feb. 15 Den of Geek says: The previous book in this series, The Serpent Gates, overflowed with fantastical concepts and twists on the expected. A series of magical portals through which airships travel through dimensions? Ancient snake people? Sword fights? It has everything. Along for the ride is Tal Charossa, determined to leave the humiliation and heartbreak of his hometown far behind him, even if it means enduring the company of his old rival and her insufferable girlfriend....

You’d think that after such a long run of shows, comics, toys, movies, and so much more, Transformers as a brand would have run out of ways to work “more than meets the eye” into their dialogue. But dang it, if there’s one person who can make it sound new, fun, commanding, and exciting? It’s the legendary actor Alan Tudyk (Resident Alien), who is set to play Autobot leader Optimus Prime in the new series, Transformers: EarthSpark....

As the Twitch support team notes in the Twitter thread above, this issue dates back to June when Twitch started responding to takedown claims processed by the Recording Industry Association of America. The gist of the problem is that many Twitch streamers have used music and other copyrighted content in their streams for years now. As Twitch grows, more and more of the copyright holders are becoming aware of these practices and how they may or may not violate the copyright laws associated with these songs and other licensed works....
