How this definitively anti-Christmas movie got made on a staggering $80 million budget and then slapped on the back of McDonald’s Happy Meals is almost as fascinating as the skintight vinyl of the movie itself. Following up on the financial rewards of 1989’s Batman was a no-brainer in the immediate aftermath of its world domination. The highest grossing movie all time upon its release, the Caped Crusader took in an unheard of $400 million worldwide and toppled the summer’s other heavy hitters, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Ghostbusters II....

Batwoman Season 2, Episode 7 Not to be on the nose, but Ryan is batshit right now. She is dying from the Kryptonite that pierced her skin the season premiere, and while her body slowly shuts down, she is hell bent on a final act of revenge. Dressed in the Batsuit, Ryan visits Angelique—who has apparently already moved on—to learn Ocean’s location, in order to find Alice. Instead of letting Mary attempt to treat her, or doing literally anything else in her potential final moments, she wants to spend her last waking hours killing Alice....

Lute by Jennifer Thorne Type: NovelPublisher: Tor NightfireRelease date: October 4 Den of Geek says: A key element of horror is a spooky setting. The island in Lute seems to fit the bill perfectly, promising the kind of ritual that makes folk horror shine (with blood!). Publisher’s summary: On the idyllic island of Lute, every seventh summer, seven people die. No more, no less. Nina Treadway is new to The Day....

In BBC thriller Bloodlands, in Belfast in early 1998, weeks before the Good Friday Agreement was reached, four people disappeared from both sides of the political conflict. They were former IRA member Joe Harkin, UVF Loyalist David Corry, Catholic priest Father Quinlan and military police officer Emma Brannick. The disappearances were made to look as though the victims had left the country, but it was suspected that all four had been executed by an assassin codenamed ‘Goliath’, an ‘inside man’ with access to police files....

Mr. Malcolm’s List of course shares some genre DNA with Bridgerton, and those elements will be the most appealing to the latter’s fans. Suzanne Allain first published Mr. Malcolm as a Regency era romance novel and she adapts it here as screenwriter, taking on the classic tropes of the Regency marriage market, high society, and social manners, and framing them with an emphasis on women’s friendships and rivalries. While family and social status still play a role in the plot, centering connections beyond family ties is what makes Mr....

We have already spoken to Bizarre Creations’ Neil Thompson, Art Director on Blood Stone(see link at the bottom), but we also had the chance to chat with Bruce Feirstein, an experienced writer who is no stranger to the series, having worked on the screenplays for GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies and The World Is Not Enough. He’s penned the script for both Blood Stone and the revamped GoldenEye, so we were dying to ask him how videogames fit into the Bond franchise, how writing a game is different to a film, and how the new GoldenEye has changed in the shift from Brosnan to Craig....

It’s sometimes easy to overlook monitors when you’re building a PC. When you’re picturing the PC you’ve always wanted, you’re probably thinking about a glowing tower powered by the best GPU and CPU on the market. So much time, effort, and, yes, money goes into the tower that it’s only natural that you might not even consider what kind of monitor you want until the rest of your gaming setup is done....

Riverdale Season 6 Episode 6 “Do we now believe in magic and curses?” Since I began reviewing Riverdale back in 2017 I have yearned for one thing: For the series to become as unpredictably strange as the comics that inspired the series. Friends, I am here to tell you that dreams can come true! But then came Rivervale. The alternate universe miniseries that made up the first five episodes of this season submerged our characters into situations that bulldozed the show’s reality, which is saying a lot given the typical scenarios that are showcased here....

The show’s final story has gone down in history as one of the all-time bonkers meta TV endings. In the episode, titled ‘Deus Ex Machina’, the teenage Grovers learn that they’re characters in a TV show, manipulated for the entertainment of an omnipotent writer, who is bringing their story to a close. Now self-aware, the crew are given the ability to write their own endings by their creator, who can’t bear to kill them off himself....

It was producer Joel Silver who had his eye on Evans for the role. Kevin Feige and Stephen Broussard wanted to cast Sebastian Stan in the part, but Silver, who’d worked with Evans on Losers, made his pitch. In the meantime, he had already called Evans to tell him to go out for the role, as had Downey Jr. Still, Evans hesitated. “It’s a big commitment to do these Marvel movies,” Evans recounts in the book (via CBR)....

Colony Season 3 Episode 1 If you feel like you’re tuning into a completely different TV show while watching Colony’s long overdue season premiere “Maquis”, you’re not alone. I, too, felt as though I was sitting through the pilot of a whole new series altogether. Well, folks. That’s the point. Switching up filming locations will often change the tone of a series. This happened when The X-Files moved from Vancouver to Los Angeles twenty years ago....

It focuses on optimizing your site’s loading speed, responsiveness, and stability of all the visuals so that users can view content faster and interact with your site effortlessly. They need faster, responsive sites to easily interact with and complete desired actions, like ordering food online. The reason is users today hate slow websites that consume a lot of time and lead to frustration. This is where Core Web Vitals shine!...

Every brand is adopting different marketing strategies for getting a boost. Still, the majority of companies are struggling with video content for engagement. Marketers are continuously working on different strategies for getting the audience to engage, and they are trying different ways to drive the audience into their sales funnel. Rather than going ahead with the traditional engagement experience, the audience is looking for something diverse. This is where the marketers are moving towards creating interactive content....

We will learn how to schedule tasks using the cron utility, and in last, we will also discuss some of the online tools which help us with formatting and testing the cron commands. Origin Crontab stands for “cron table“. The word cron has been taken from the Greek word Chronos meaning time. Crontab is a system daemon process that will automatically perform some tasks and jobs as per the scheduled time....

To be sure, there is indeed tragedy connected to the film. Most notable is the murder of 22-year-old actress Dominique Dunne in November 1982–five months following the film’s June release–and the death of 12-year-old Heather O’Rourke during the filming of Poltergeist III due to complications from an undetected bowel obstruction. The premature deaths of the two were enough to create the notion of a cursed franchise, which was only exacerbated by the revelation of the skeletons… plus the 2002 E!...

For that reason, no one should be surprised that the newly-installed head of Warner Bros, David Zaslav, would want to emulate Disney’s triumph with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Many studios have tried to launch their own cinematic universes, some more successfully (The Conjuring and its myriad spin-offs) than others (your light shone too bright, Dark Universe). WB would inarguably fall into the latter category after its attempts to build out a universe based on director Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, unofficially dubbed the DC Extended Universe (DCEU)....

So I’m happy to say that Reynolds serves up more of what made his Wade Wilson so instantly iconic on the big screen in Deadpool 2, only this time he’s got more of everything: more characters, more plot (which was pretty thin the first time out), more jokes, and more money to spend. And in this case, more is actually more: Deadpool 2 still delivers all the gore, brutal action, and wildly coarse humor of the first (if a bit less of the raunch), only with a better story, bigger, more expansive action, and some great new characters to play with....

Dexter New Blood Episode 6 Dexter Morgan and Kurt Caldwell are on a collision course. It’s not just that Iron Lake is too small for two serial killers, it’s also the fact that both men seem to be fighting for the soul of Harrison. Obviously, Dexter is conflicted with whether he should open up to his son. Not many people would react to news of their dad being a serial killer well, but because of their history and the resentment Harrison already feels, plus his worsening mental state and desire to “hurt people,” Dexter is probably the best person for Harrison to talk to....

But director and screenwriter Mike Flanagan, whose resume includes the Netflix adaptation of Stephen King’s “unfilmable” Gerald’s Game, as well as last year’s acclaimed The Haunting of Hill House, has arguably improved on King’s book by streamlining the plot and altering some story points. He’s also fashioned a deliberately paced script that gets you to care a great deal about what happens to the people in the tale. But perhaps most astonishing of all, he’s crafted an eerie movie that serves as a sequel to both the novel The Shining and Stanley Kubrick’s iconic 1980 movie version, drawing on our memories of both to deliver something that is unique and respectful of each....
