Based on the preview, the show is a bit like Gogglebox for horror nerds. We meet the audience and see how they react and listen to them waffling on in the way that people do when there’s a camera pointed at them (not during the films, of course). The good stuff, though, is the shorts themselves, which are shown with audience reactions intercut. The show is held together by host Matthew Giffen....
Despite the CCG title’s welcoming simplicity and wholesomeness, it still features enough mechanics under the hood to make mastering the game a true challenge. What’s more, simply plugging in recommended decks isn’t going to teach you the lessons you need to learn to figure out which cards and strategies are the best for you. With each new unlock comes an increasing amount of deck variability that forces you to think about new ways to play....
Netflix, for one, is committed to spreading happy tidings, as judged by their glut of new Christmas movies. However, if you’re someone who isn’t looking for more cinematic trifles this December, and rather just want to know about the best non-original film content coming to your living room, well we’ve comprised the list below! Closer (2004) December 1 No one would mistake Mike Nichols’ brutally cynical adaptation of Patrick Marber’s play to be a holiday movie, and yet there are few better films you could watch on Netflix this December....
The interactions on social media platforms have outgrown the primary purpose of making friends and sharing life events. Today, almost every platform has become a marketplace where brands and consumers have much to gain. With over 4.64 billion social media users worldwide, every forum lays multiple opportunities for global businesses. So, how to take advantage of these online prospects? In the elevation of influencers, bloggers, and content creators, it has become paramount to figure out the best time to post on leading platforms....
Back in the year 2000, writer Dave Eggers struggled to find the right title for his first memoir. What collection of words could possibly communicate the emotional enormity of losing both of one’s parents to cancer and then having to perform as a sudden surrogate to one’s younger brother? Eggers eventually stumbled upon the appropriately melodramatic moniker. The name he chose, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, was equal parts sarcastic and sincere....
Yet co-star Gary Oldman wasn’t on hand that day. Instead, at about a 90-degree angle away from Ryder’s boudoir, stood a duplicate set of the same size and shape, but buried in black velvet Duvetyne. And in that blackness, smoke created by dry ice was oozing its way around the velvet. When lit by green lights and reflected in the mirror, a sentient emerald mist suddenly appeared in the same room as Ryder....
When Ted Lasso first premiered on Apple TV+ in August 2020, it immediately made waves for having a deep bench of compelling supporting players to act opposite lead Jason Sudeikis. But with the utmost respect to Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, and everyone else in the AFC Richmond football team’s orbit, it was Brett Goldstein’s Roy Kent who jumped off the screen in particular. Loosely inspired by the real life footballer Roy Keane, Roy Kent is a veteran at the tail end of his career whose gruff exterior (including multiple profanities and damn near monosyllabic speech patterns) neatly cover up a vibrant inner sensitivity....
This week, another partial amendment, known as the BTS Military Service Exemption Act, was up for discussion at a subcommittee meeting of the government’s National Defense Committee. If passed, the amendment could provide BTS (and any globally popular “cultural artists” who qualifies) an exemption from military service. However, per this report from SpoTVNews, the committee did not have time to discuss the amendment on September 9th, as discussions for preceding items on the agenda ran long....
In 2017, Activision published its own military-themed spin on the nascent battle royale genre with Call of Duty: Online. They followed that up with 2018’s Blackout (a battle royale expansion of Black Ops 4). Those modes proved to be successful enough, but it was 20220’s Call of Duty: Warzone, released in 2020, that took Call of Duty battle royale games to new limits. Activision is publishing an upgrade that is waiting just around the corner....
Marketed as a cross between Gone Girl and The Haunting of Hill House, the psychological horror tells the tale of “a boarded-up house on a dead-end street at the edge of the wild Washington woods [where] lives a family of three” from multiple, distinct perspectives (including a cat’s!). We have an exclusive first look at the gorgeous cover for The Last House on Needless Street (designed by Katie Klimowicz, and executed by artist Corey Brickley), as well as an exclusive excerpt from the book’s beginning....
Crypto is confusing to the new. While the pros may not agree, ask them about their first day at the office, and most will have second thoughts. So consider these some quick bytes to jump-start your crypto journey. Without any further ado, let’s get started. Blockchain Blockchains are digitally distributed ledgers that keep records of every entry (transaction) specific to them. Blockchain technology is the foundation of cryptocurrencies, and there are many blockchains linked with particular projects....
As developers, our jobs are hard enough already: dealing with highly complex and fragile systems with multiple failure points while we translate flitting human wishes into UIs and backends. To add to the task is an emerging and essential consideration: data security. And for a good reason: we as customers are enraged if our data gets misused (so it’s only fair we give our users a secure and enjoyable experience), and governments and enterprises demand it for compliance....
“You’re asking me about the review world. That’s not quiiiite the audience,” Witwer says. “I read a review today from a website/publication that will remain nameless. In it, the horde mechanic, the show-stopping center piece of the game, it wasn’t mentioned once. Not ONCE. There were other tells, but it was pretty clear that this reviewer played the game for several hours and then wrote his review. He did not complete it....
The ego has a remarkable drive to protect itself from damage. Whoever we are and whatever we’ve done, our minds can twist things so we don’t have to see ourselves as villains deserving of blame. There are always extenuating circumstances. Somebody or something else is always responsible. Reality can be warped into whatever shape is required to let us view ourselves as, essentially, good. In a narcissist like Dennis Nilsen, that system works overtime....
If the latest teaser for The Walking Dead Season 11 isn’t deceiving our weary eyes with red herrings planeted in one specific shot, then it appears that Yumiko (Eleanor Matsuura) will inherit the direct familial connection at the center of the storyline that introduces Elodie. The teaser quickly shows Yumiko—seen without context wearing white Commonwealth military armor—at the Wall of the Lost (more on that in a second), appearing entranced as she gently places her hand on a pinned note (in front of an old pre-apocalypse photo that might be of her) that, while mostly difficult to discern, does clearly say, “My sister Miko....
On Disney+’s list of new releases this month, you won’t find any major Pixar, Star Wars, or Marvel (save for the continuing episodes of the aforementioned Moon Knight) releases. Instead, you’ll find something perhaps more valuable: BEARS. Earth Day falls on April 22 this year and Disney+ is celebrating with four major nature documentaries. Polar Bear is narrated by Catherine Keener and follows a family of nature’s most adorable killing machines....
After the animation studio’s next major effort was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic, the powers that be finally made the decision to release it on Disney’s streaming service. And that’s why you will now be able to watch Soul via Disney+ on Christmas Day. Soul stars Jamie Foxx as Joe Gardner – an inspiring jazz musician who finally gets his chance when his soul enters the Great Beyond. Soul isn’t the only gift on Disney+ in December 2020....
After the interesting and entertaining animated effort Marvel’s What If…? wrapped up its run in early October, Hawkeye is set to pick up the Infinity Gauntlet and run with it with two episodes premiering on Nov. 24. This live-action series features Jeremy Renner reprising his role as expert marksman Clint Barton a.k.a. Hawkeye and encountering the next generation of heroes in the form of Hailee Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop. Also there will be a dog…and Christmas!...
With Django Unchained, Tarantino turns his attention to the spaghetti western, his most obvious model being Sergio Corbucci’s Django, a film whose bloody violence irked the BBFC back in the 60s. Christoph Waltz plays Schultz, a bounty hunter of German descent who rides around 1850s Southern America in the guise of an itinerant dentist. He frees the enslaved Django (Jamie Foxx) whom he hopes will help him identify the Brittle Brothers, a gang of criminals whose bodies are worth a fortune in bounty....
There hasn’t been much official news about the MCU sequel. Back in January, an unofficial synopsis emerged for Doctor Strange 2, to be taken with a grain of salt: “After the events of Avengers: Endgame, Dr. Stephen Strange continues his research on the Time Stone. But an old friend turned enemy seeks to destroy every sorcerer on Earth, messing with Strange’s plan and also causing him to unleash an unspeakable evil....
