So long time Steven Spielberg collaborator Frank Marshall was onto some challenge from the moment he decided to take on Arachnophobia for his directorial debut. Notwithstanding the fact that Marshall was citing the likes of The Birds as his influences (although it wasn’t the sole Hitchcock nod: a shower scene towards the end of the movie has Psycho tattooed throughout it) – thus, not 100% a horror movie – the film was always going to be a tough sell....
At various points during the gameplay preview, we see Ethan do battle with werewolves (now formally referred to as “Lycans”) and a host of vampire-like creatures. Yes, we’ve seen those monsters before in previous trailers, but these recent previews confirm that those archetypes aren’t limited to the game’s major villains. There’s a small army of those monsters running around the village, and your battles against them will seemingly make up most of the game’s action....
Titans are weird, even by anime monster standards. They look like people, if by people you mean eerily distorted caricatures made by deranged five year olds. Even the laws of thermodynamics that anchor the real universe in place are nothing more than a set of vague guidelines where they’re concerned. Titans are ghastly, peculiar, and thoroughly disturbing, but they’re not half as supernatural as the anomaly that brought them into existence....
Attack on Titan Season 4 Episode 20 “Before I save the world, I want to save you.” Last week’s “Two Brothers” is easily one of the strongest episodes of Attack on Titan that’s ever been produced, which puts a lot of pressure on whatever follows. Another action-heavy installment would be the wrong approach after this chaotic high, so the more muted and reflective structure that’s adopted in “Memories of the Future” functions as the perfect cool down period after watching Eren’s head get blown off....
But an amazing thing happened in the 21st century, didn’t it? Streep, the First Lady of the Academy Awards stage, reinvented herself as the prima donna of the musical-comedy. Sometimes that includes performances so rich that they sing even without any lyrics, such as the imperious Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada. But often they come with music and verse too, be it ham-fisted kitsch like Mamma Mia! or something as ambitious as playing the Witch in an adaptation of Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods....
Ironically, the most popular streaming service in the world has chosen to play a bit of a trick on those users wanting a lot of new horror content. While the streamer is providing new original horror films and television programming from its in-house productions, most of the films Netflix is adding for the month of October are not scary at all. Nonetheless, many of them are still a treat. So here are the best movies to expect on Netflix in October…....
Given the wide variety of stories, there’s a lot of anime about LBGTQ people and the queer experience. To be clear, anime has more than its fair share of problematic portrayals such as uninterrogated crossdressing tropes, unchallenged homophobia and transphobia, and comedy at the expense of a queer character. But these things are hardly unique to anime, unfortunately. Despite these shortcomings, the format does have great series exploring the LGBTQ experience in different contexts and genres so here are some of the best queer anime to watch....
However, backgrounds aren’t the only way to have fun with Zoom. It’s actually possible to host your next game night over the virtual conference app. While Zoom doesn’t offer official games for you and your friends to play, it turns out that some of the best party games in the world are playable through Zoom so long as you’re willing to get a little creative. Here is just a small selection of the best (and easiest) party games to play with your friends during a Zoom conference:...
But even if Johnson’s presence is enough to chew up any scene, Black Adam won’t come alone. The movie is being positioned as an entry point for many of DC’s lesser-known characters. Interestingly enough, many of them hail from the Justice Society of America era of the DCU, a team that in-universe predates the modern Justice League. Noah Centineo (The Fosters) plays Atom Smasher, a JSA hero who has the power of growth and super strength (not unlike other, more famous DC and Marvel characters)....
Half-human, half-Atlantean (in the comics), and one of the earliest examples of the evolved human beings that came to be called “mutants” in Marvel canon, he was the fierce ruler and protector of the undersea kingdom of Atlantis with a healthy distaste for the surface world. An anti-hero in the classic sense, he nonetheless teamed over the years with the Avengers, the Illuminati, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, and other Marvel heroes to defend the planet from menaces both Earthbound and interstellar....
Born in England in 1887, William Henry Pratt moved to Canada in his early 20s and began acting in low-budget theater. Given the kind of roles he usually ended up playing, he adopted the name Boris Karloff, correctly thinking it had a little more zing to it than “William Henry Pratt.” Ten years later he moved to LA and worked as a truck driver while picking up small movie roles as he could....
The world of PC building and PC components is fueled by innovation. New technology constantly replaces what came before. But when it comes to PC cooling systems, there’s still some debate over whether liquid cooling or air cooling is better for your system. On the surface, liquid cooling is superior. Liquid cooling can tame even the hardest working PC components, such as your CPU or GPU, thanks to direct cooling methods that are especially appealing to anyone who wants to dive into the wonderful world of overclocking....
It’s going to be a little while before we really figure out which of Warzone‘s buffed, nerfed, and new guns are truly the best, but as is typically the case, it didn’t take long for a select few weapons to separate themselves from the pack. So if you don’t have time to wait and just want to start dominating Warzone so cleanly that people will start accusing you of hacking, here are the best weapons and loadouts for the Season 4 Reloaded meta:...
It seems that some players discovered that it was actually possible to play on the new Warzone map by using the mode’s private match function. While developer Raven shut down that workaround fairly quickly, they weren’t able to get to it before some prominent Call of Duty YouTubers were able to upload extensive footage of themselves exploring the new map. Oops. Based on the footage we’ve seen so far, it seems that the new Warzone map is actually a 1980s themed reskin of the old Verdansk map....
Even after half of all living things are snapped out of and back into existence, the Marvel Cinematic Universe can’t seem to escape the ramifications of Captain America: Civil War and the Sokovia Accords. She-Hulk: Attorney at Law may have shown us that the Accords have been repealed in a post-blip world, but that doesn’t mean that we’re through seeing the effects of them on the geopolitical sphere of the MCU....
“Anybody that produces a film runs into problems when they come to distribution,” said director Herk Harvey told Timothy De Paepe in 1983, somewhat understating the reality of the trials he endured while making his 1962 directorial debut, Carnival Of Souls. Not just distribution, but budget, filming permissions and location difficulties all contributed to his film’s unconventional birth. Perhaps the strangest thing about it, though, is that despite a legendarily problematic production, Harvey succeeded in crafting a horror film with such enduring and haunting power, it inspired the likes of George A....
Counterpart Season 1 Episode 3 The conspiracy that is no doubt at the core of Counterpart’s opening season really starts to take shape in “The Lost Art of Diplomacy,” and the differences between the two worlds come into sharper focus, even if the impetus of those changes is still unknown. Baldwin and Howard are able to explore some of the larger themes of human nature in their interactions, and characters like Emily Prime and Quayle get fleshed out a bit more to the show’s benefit....
API mocking is a potent concept that has become a crucial part of the software development and testing cycle. It lets you test a range of probable situations and generates required use cases, and thus, contributes significantly to future-proof your software or app. Here, we will know some of the best tools to create REST mock API. But first, let’s learn more about REST API and how API helps developers during the development and testing phase....
Cyberware upgrades are a key part of the character-building experience in Cyberpunk 2077, but many players may end up overlooking it due to both the confusing nature of the system itself and the lingering worry that you can somehow choose the “wrong” Cyberware upgrade. While it’s not really possible to choose a strictly wrong upgrade, you can take a lot of the guesswork out of Cyberpunk 2077‘s Cyberware system by checking out our guide on Cyberware basics and a quick look at the best Cyberware pieces to install....
The digital situation at the time wasn’t ready for this fast transformation, having many unresolved issues such as low code quality or unqualified cybersecurity culture among employees. And with most businesses moving to operate on a remote basis, they simply gave the go-ahead for hackers to become more active. Statistics show that in 2021 ransomware attacks increased by 100%, causing $20 billion in losses, and the most significant impact was on the healthcare sector....
