The most ‘out of the box’ party we helped create for AAFP – Academic Association of Fernando Pessoa, which decided to take the celebration to the next level… or rather, to the next hologram!
Fernando Pessoa, the Unexpected Guest:
Imagine this scene: an academic party where the illustrious Fernando Pessoa decides to make an appearance, not in the flesh, but in holographic form! Yes, our Holobox made that possible. Fernando Pessoa dancing and cheering up the party was the surprise that all students never knew they needed.
The Gateway to Fun:
Our Holobox became a magical portal to a dimension where the academic party reached epic levels. Who would have thought that a writer from the last century could become the king of the holographic dance floor?
More than Applause:
The students’ reactions were priceless. From laughter to enthusiastic applause, Fernando Pessoa’s holographic presence added a touch of humor to the party that everyone will remember for the rest of their academic days.
When History Meets Holography:
This unique experience is a testament to how technology can transform academic events. Fernando Pessoa celebrating with students in hologram not only broke the barriers of time but also the barriers between history and modern fun.

It’s theorized that using a starting pitch of A=432 Hz and a “just intonation” tuning method (scientific tuning) is more natural and mathematically symmetric than using A=440 Hz and “equal temperament” tuning (concert tuning).
A musical instruments is an instrument that can make musical sounds, it can be a traditional instrument created specifically to make music or something adapted to play music.
Music theory and the basics of playing music (especially on the piano) can be understood through music intervals. All scales, chords, and most songs are based on intervals.
Whistle voice and falsetto are both high vocal registers that use alternative positions of the vocal cords and sound like different parts of a flute.
To quantize is to restrict something to a set of values. In digital music notes can be quantized to beats, in physics energy is quantized energy states.
A synthesizer is an instrument that uses electronics to produce sound. Sounds produced by a synthesizer are commonly triggered by a keyboard, but not always.

A couple of reviews of Bob Dylan's Tell Tale Signs: The Bootleg Series Volume 8 have praised the directness of the demos and alternate arrangements of several songs that producer Daniel Lanois subjected to the Lanois Treatment on 1989's Oh Mercy and 1997's Time Out of Mind. While I've never balked at revisionism, this is unfair. Were I to pitch an Idolator column, I'd title it "Most Overrated Comebacks by Major Artists," and TOOM would head the list. Although this Dylanphile listened to it as much as any other product in 1997, admiring especially how that croak harmonized with Augie Meyers' organ, I thought the album itself played like a collection of sketches of a mood, and a mood the artist could not limn beyond broad strokes. Eleven years later, I still can't hum or mention a single memorable line in "Can't Wait," "Til I Fell In Love With You," and "Million Miles" (the titles should have been dead giveaways, or DOA's). Lanois' voodoo consists of conjuring heavy drapes he can drop over songs of questionable merit and poorly conceived intent, and he exacerbates the problem by ordering several guitarists and keyboardists to search for the melody line that Dylan himself hasn't written; Time Out of Mind is Dylan's version of a late eighties Bryan Ferry record.
Oh Mercy's another story. I'm sentimental about the record, admittedly. I bought it after the four old farts and wannabe old fart in the Traveling Wilburys convinced me with their album that their respective back catalogues were worth the exploration. My local library owned the OM cassette, and I listened to it obsessively in the spring of 1990, getting off on how Dylan's aged sneer jabbed at Lanois' atmospherics; it was a draw, but I loved both, and naive me preferred Dylan's voice to his lyrics even then. But Dylan was on some kind of songwriting roll. As Chronicles confirms, he felt sufficiently jazzed by the New Orleans setting in which he recorded the album to bolster his flagging self-confidence. I'll take "Man in the Long Black Coat," "Where Teardrops Fall," "What Good Am I," "Shooting Star," "Most of the Time," and "What Was It You Wanted" over the TOOM deadweight I cited above. As much as I adore Blood On The Tracks, I also have a lot of time for Dylan albums which reflect the artist's confused miscellany of influences and moods: Blonde on Blonde, New Morning, Empire Burlesque. For all its craft, TOOM sounds like Dylan on a creative writing assignment: define despair. Oh Mercy's relaxed groove and we'll-try-anything-once spirit (embodied by the boneheaded "Political World" and "Disease of Conceit") suits a newly middle aged man who's just beginning to turn inward in order to confront the world.
This serves as a long preface to the song I really wanted to write about. The OM outtake "Series of Dreams" appears on Tell Tale Signs unblemished by the synths and echo -- no doubt this is how Dylan prefers it, as the outtakes of "Love & Theft"'s "Mississippi" make the original sound like New Order by comparison. I understand why Dylan didn't include "Series of Dreams" on OM: it's portentous in a way none of the other songs are; it would have been like including "Every Grain of Sand" on Knocked Out Loaded, or hell, "Blind Willie McTell" on Infidels. "Series of Dreams" does its title justice -- the demos don't. Lanois' instincts, finally, were correct. The keyboard swells that hug the sudden chord change signaled by the perfect line "Dreams where the umbrella is folded" evade common sense much like Dylan's vocals. It's the best self-written song he recorded before 2000's "Things Have Changed," only this time you can't separate the singer's authority from the production in which it's safely encased. Dylan doesn't bleat or bellow; as in all his best work, he trusts the path his lyrics trod. It's the culmination of what he attempted on 1985's Empire Burlesque (around which there's a thriving cult anyway) on tracks like "Something's Burning, Baby" -- there's something happening here, he don't know what it is, yet he's old enough to guess, with a little help from his friends, even if they wear their hair in ponytails or sport "Miami Vice" jackets.
So do me a favor and remember the possibilities in Dylan's voice, and how Lanois and Jack Frost (har har) best served him.

He then shared why he didn't provide any official statements or excuses regarding the controversy. Seo Ha Joon said, "Why wouldn't I have wanted to speak up about it?

Gareth Edwards directed Rogue One, which was released in 2016. The film’s plot revolves around Jyn’s father, who the Galactic Empire kidnaps. They wanted his help in building the Death Star. The Death Star is the most potent destructive weapon available. Jyn, on the other hand, matures and joins forces with a band of resistance fighters. Her sole goal is to steal the Empire’s blueprints. The cast and crew of Rogue One traveled the world to capture stunning imagery of new planets and locations for this heavily exciting prequel. Many places are revisited in Star Wars. According to the creator, the title of the film has three meanings. The first of these is a military symbol. The implication represents Jyn’s personality.
About the Movie: Rogue One
Gareth Edwards’ 2016 American epic space opera film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (or simply Rogue One). Chris Weitz and Tony Gilroy wrote the screenplay based on a story by John Knoll and Gary Whitta. Lucasfilm produced it, and Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures distributed it. It is the first episode of the Star Wars science fiction series and a spinoff to Star Wars. Set before Star Wars, the plot follows rebels who combine to steal the proposals for the Death Star, the Galactic Empire’s ultimate weapon. It describes the Rebel Alliance’s first effective victory over the Empire, which was first mentioned in Star Wars’ opening crawl.
Official Release Date of Rogue One:
On December 10, 2016, Rogue One premiered at the Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles. Marvel Comics adapted the film into a comic book miniseries that added extra content months after it was released. The complete collection of the miniseries was released in December 2017. IDW Publishing announced a one-shot graphic novel adaptation of the film, released the same day as the Marvel miniseries collection. Unlike Marvel, this novel will have more cartoonish visuals. The same month, Comics released Star Wars: Rogue One – Cassian & K-2SO, a one-shot comic focusing on Cassian Andor and K-2SO’s first meeting. Duane Swierczynski wrote the story, and Fernando Blanc drew the illustrations.
Initial Plot of the Movie:
When Imperial weapons developer Orson Krennic arrives on the planet Lah’mu to press him into completing the Death Star, a space station-based superweapon that can annihilate planets, research scientist Galen Erso and his family are in hiding. Lyra, Galen’s wife, is killed in the fight, but their daughter, Jyn, escapes and is rescued by rebel extremist Saw Gerrera. After fifteen years, cargo pilot Bodhi Rook defected from the Empire, carrying a hologram signal recorded by Galen on the desert moon Jedha. Cassian Andor, a Rebel Alliance intelligence officer, learns of Rook’s defection and the Death Star from an informant. Jyn is liberated from an Imperial labor camp at Wobani and delivered Bail Organa to Rebel leaders.
How does the Plot End?
John obtains the schematics but is ambushed by Krennic, who Cassian shoots and wounds. Jyn sends the schematics to the Rebel command ship through the base’s antenna. Just as the Death enters orbit, Tarkin uses another power shot to destroy the antenna and Krennic, and the impact creates a blast that engulfs the base. The Rebel fleet prepares to enter hyperspace, but Vader’s Star Destroyer intercepts Admiral Raddus and many of the fleet’s ships on its way. To reclaim the schematics, Vader boards the Rebel command ship and kills many rebel troops, but a starship manages to escape with them on the panel. Princess Leia Organa declares aboard the fleeing ship that the blueprints would provide optimism.
The Exciting Cast of Rogue One:
Felicity Jones stars as Jyn Erso, a young renegade. Beau Gadsdon plays Jyn, an eight-year-old girl. Dolly Gadsdon plays Jyn, a four-year-old girl. Cassian, a Rebel captain, and the officer is played by Diego Luna. Ben Mendelsohn plays Orson Krennic, the Imperial military’s director of advanced weapons research. Chirrut, a warrior who believes in the Force, is played by Donnie Yen. He is said to be the Whills’ Guardians. Jyn’s father and a research scientist, Galen Erso, are played by Mads Mikkelsen. K-2SO, a former Imperial enforcer, is played by Alan Tudyk. Riz Ahmed plays former Imperial cargo pilot Bodhi Rook. Jiang Wen plays Baze Malbus, Chirrut Îmwe’s longtime companion. Saw Gerrera, a Clone Wars veteran, is played by Forest Whitaker.
Around the world, filming locations were used. The crew shot in Reynisfjara, Iceland. The Krafla area, with its volcanic crater, and the rock formations around Lake Mvatn, were also used. Scarif was represented by the Maldives’ Laamu Atoll islands of Gan and Baresdhoo, in addition to the defunct RAF Bovingdon airfield. Jordan’s Wadi Rum was used to depict Jedha. Pymmes Park in Edmonton, London, was also utilized for filming, and Cardington Airfield was used for scenes set on Yavin 4. Gareth Edwards chose the Canary Wharf station on the London Underground as a spot for a chase sequence in an Imperial base; the location shoot occurred between midnight and 4 a.m. when the platform was closed to the general public.

Brian Goodman is an actor and director, known for his recurring and guest-starring roles in a number of different films and television series, including Lost, Sons of Anarchy, Aquarius, and Rizzoli & Isles. In 2008, Goodman co-wrote and directed the Ethan Hawke/Mark Ruffalo film What Doesn’t Kill You.
Eldon Chance (Hugh Laurie) is a San Francisco-based forensic neuropsychiatrist who, after reluctantly getting sucked into a violent and dangerous world of mistaken identity, police corruption and mental illness, comes out the other side a changed man. Whether that change is due to his having killed someone or the aftermath of his traumatic brain injury remains unclear. Along with his Nietzsche-quoting, knife-wielding, antique-furniture restoring friend D (Ethan Suplee), Dr. Chance takes it upon himself to help his patients, all victims of violent crimes, by using vigilante justice to take out their abusers. But the events of last season catch up with him when Detective Kevin Hynes (Brian Goodman) comes knocking. He knows what Chance did and he’ll keep his secret – as long as Chance uses his newfound vigilantism to help Detective Hynes take down an elusive serial killer.

Badass Decay: Lustbader changes Bourne from an unstoppable juggernaut into a whining wimp who wouldn't win without outside help.
Creator's Pet: Lustbader's Arkadin in the books. Lustbader keeps filling the narration with Arkadin's past and making Bourne exhausted so Bourne cannot kill Arkadin. When someone writes Bourne novels and guarantees upfront that the villain is going to have his own trilogy, you know that villain is a pet.
Designated Hero: Arkadin, in the flashbacks of his past. The narration is meant to make readers sympathize with him, his tormented life in Nizhny Tagil, and his struggle against various Russian crime bosses. The problem is that, even considering all that, he is still a murderer, a terrorist, in a life of crime for selfish gains, and no better than any other Russian gangsters he kills.
Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy / Fanon Discontinuity: One of the problems with Legacy and Jason Bourne is that they undo the hard-won victory at the conclusion of Ultimatum, showing that the bad guys managed to prevent the incriminating documents from being made public and covered their tracks further by slandering and murdering even more people than they already had. In a world as drab, bleak and depressing as the Bourne movies already are, many fans simply choose to pretend that the latter two movies simply never happened in order to enjoy some ray of sunshine.
Cross and Shearing are extremely popular in fanfiction.
Popular Australian Actor/Comedian Shane Jacobson's brief appearance as the Factory Owner in Legacy was well received by Aussies, many of whom paid more attention to him in his scenes than anyone actually relevant to the plot.
The first two sequels kept getting more acclaim from critics, with the third film The Bourne Ultimatum generally being seen as the best.
Inverted with the later films. Though not technically a sequel, Legacy didn't receive the same amount of praise that the first three Damon films did, and despite bringing Damon back, neither has Jason Bourne.
Iron Woobie: Let's just say Bourne had a lot to go through.
Only the Creator Does It Right: One may argue that the Bourne series has two daddies with Doug Liman and Paul Greengrass. With The Bourne Identity, director Doug Liman gave the film a unique style, but it was Paul Greengrass who would flesh it out in its sequels The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum, with Liman still involved as executive producer, garnering even greater acclaim. But when Greengrass turned down the offer to direct The Bourne Legacy, Matt Damon left with him, saying he wouldn't do any more movies without him, and Liman left too. This is part of why Legacy wasn't as well-received as its predecessors. It should be noted that Tony Gilroy wrote all four films (and directed Legacy). The fact that he wasn't involved with Jason Bourne even though Greengrass and Damon returned probably led to it also not being as well-received as the original trilogy.
A notable aversion that is somewhere between this and Even Better Sequel. Each one of the first three films is considered to be quite good and at the least on par with each other. Although there are a group of people who consider the third film the best due to having the highest HSQ.
Though some considered Supremacy to be a bit of a step down, with more of an action emphasis and an overload of Jitter Cam (thankfully toned down in Ultimatum).
Legacy is a bit more divisive in this respect, with its very existence of trying to make the series a franchise and reverting what should have wrapped up the series in Ultimatum. That said, the movie was much better received than comparable attempts due to having a few shared members of the production (the same writer, who also takes on director duties) and a great cast with Renner, Weisz and Norton.
Jason Bourne (the fifth movie) however seems to have fallen into that territory, mainly because of criticism regarding the lack of innovation storywise.
Song Association: Moby's "Extreme Ways", due to it being used as the credits song for each movie. The first trailer for Jason Bourne only needed the song's first two notesnote A violin triad held for a whole note, admittedly pretty iconic to signify that the movie it was advertising was a Bourne movie.

I know that “rhythm violence game” already has you scratching your head – but I promise that the concept is just as strangely cool as it sounds. Thumper, created by the two-man developer team Drool, is a blissful sound experience, a visual feast for the eyes, and the kind of game that stresses the player out in the best way possible.
Players control a silver space beetle, whooshing along a sleek track. As white lights pop up on the track, you hit the button as you cross over them (I played the demo on the PlayStation 4, so I was mashing away at the X button). Turns involve pressing X and moving the left stick in the corresponding direction, which allows you to violently slam into and bank the turn. As the game advances, you learn how to duck under obstacles, and the chains become faster and more complicated. Completing successful chains sends a ball of energy down the track towards whatever swirling boss awaits at the other end. Ultimately, that boss is Crakhed, a spikey-headed villain who reminds me a bit of Majora’s Mask.
My experience with the demo was its booth in the PlayStation area of the show floor. I met an eager Sony employee who had been grinding at the demo during his breaks – when we spoke, he held the demo’s high score of 796. Once I had headphones on, I was immediately immersed in the game. The audio design boasts a rich music experience, and I looked forward to every obstacle I hit, because that meant another metallic chime. I felt like I was charging into battle, and I was just speeding down the track.
The visuals are just as stunning as well, with a mixture of movement and color that kept my eyes glued to the screen. The background changes fast enough to create a shifting landscape which, combined with the audio, had me completely immersed from the start. And that was just the standard demo – friends told me that the VR experience was even better. Overall, Thumper is easily a game I see myself spending hours in – it hits the rare sweet spot where a game is stressful enough to stay challenging to the point of addiction.
Thumper will be released this year for PlayStation VR, PlayStation 4, and Steam.

In the world of video games, there are certain expectations that are put upon successful titles. Mainly, if a game is successful, and there is a demand for another game in the line, there should be one. And developers tend to do that. But if a game is VERY successful, then a sequel is all but inevitable. Except apparently in the case of GTA 6. For despite GTA V being out since 2013, the next game in the Grand Theft Auto franchise has not been teased, talked about, or even referenced by Rockstar Games in any significant manner.
This is somewhat mind-boggling because GTA V has literally shattered records. It’s sold well over 100 million units continues to be bought even 7 years later and new content for it and GTA Online continues to come. So given all of this, why hasn’t GTA 6 even been teased to let the long-gestating fans know that there is something truly new on the horizon?
Former Rockstar Games producer, Darion Lowenstein weighed in on the issue via Tik Tok of all things. He was asked why the recent PlayStation event didn’t show the game and he noted that new console generations are hard to prepare for at times because the systems take time to not just work out, but push to their fullest. So making a truly legendary title at the beginning of a console cycle is hard.
Given the grandeur of GTA V, the team at Rockstar Games without a doubt won’t go and make a cookie-cutter sequel. Too much expectations.
However, Lowenstein also noted that there’s a money thing here. GTA Online is still making LOTS of money, so for them to take time off of doing cheaper updates and content to make a fully fledged new game that MIGHT sell as good is not worth the risk apparently. Or at least, that’s how he reads the situation.

“Damsel” is a Western that never wants to let you forget it's poking fun at the genre. It's a playful jab in the ribs that becomes grating pretty fast, and then you realize it's not ready to let up. It's a deadpan comedy of the most aggravating kind: the kind that can't help making funny faces at every turn. I kept wanting to slap some sense into it.
Which is a shame, mostly for two reasons: Robert Pattinson and Mia Wasikowska. Ever see a movie where you're digging the central performances but keep wishing you could tell the guys calling the shot to quit horsing around? Welcome to the skewed, freaky-deaky world of David Zellner and Nathan Zellner, moviemaking siblings who've never met a strange tic or eccentric flourish they haven't liked. Their gift for creating a vivid sense of time and place is undercut by their tendency to overdose on their penchant for weirdness.
They set the tone from the get-go, as they look in on a disillusioned preacher, played by Robert Forster at his most grizzled, who's lamenting his failure at bringing the good word to the savages on the wild frontier circa 1870. The scene begins as a casual exchange between the man of God and a younger man as they wait for a stagecoach. It ends with Forster stripping to his pajamas and running off into a barren landscape. How precious.
But this isn't the story the Zellners want to tell. Enter Samuel Alabaster (Pattinson), who arrives at a dusty remote town, miniature horse in tow, to find Parson Henry (David Zellner), the man he hired to officiate his wedding to Penelope (Wasikowska). Only Penelope is nowhere in sight, and Samuel, all aw shucks and golly gee willikers meekness, keeps springing new information on the dumbfounded Henry. Off they go into the wilderness, as the clergyman (and the viewer) scrambles to put the pieces together as to what is happening.
That uncertainty, as well as cinematographer Adam Steve's crisp vistas, keep us going, like a mule reaching out for that out-of-reach carrot, because, well, the movie appears to be taking us somewhere new. Who is this dandy with both a shotgun and guitar strapped to his back, and does he have a clue as to how to survive in this increasingly hostile environment?
To his dismay, it dawns on Henry that they two of them might be heading to a violent encounter with men who, if Samuel is to be believed, have taken Penelope against her will. It all seems to be heading for a showdown, which is when the Zellners turn the plot on its head, and in so doing, confirm viewers' suspicions that there was something fishy about the whole expedition.
Penelope makes her grand entrance as “Damsel” ambles amiably toward the halfway point, Weapons are drawn from the unlikeliest gunmen, harsh words are exchanged, and the Zellners appear to take the characters in a different direction. But that's when it becomes clear that, from a narrative point of view, they've painted themselves into a corner. With about an hour of screen time left to go.
Sure, it's amusing to see Pattinson cast against type as a lovestruck doofus. He's a putz, but a putz with a pure heart (and deep pockets). He's especially droll when he plays a cringe-inducing love song he's been working on, or earlier in the film, when he's asked to compare Adam's apples with other men in a bar. “How big is yours?” a curious patron asks a bewildered Samuel. Well, isn't that darling?
But like just about everything else in “Damsel,” even the ostensibly genial aspects wear thin pretty fast. Once blood has been shed, the Zellners appear to be spinning their wheels without being able to move the story forward, leaving the characters bickering at each other in rudderless fashion. Wasikowska is the “straight man” here, her no-nonsense moxie a welcome antidote to the out-of-control silliness, even if her character feels a tad too contemporary when compared with the rest of the period-embracing gargoyles on display. Her crack timing and deadpan delivery suggest the movie that could have been if the Zellners had seen fit to observe a little restraint.
There's a dewy-eyed freshness to parts of “Damsel” that recall Westerns from the 1970s, only with tongue placed more firmly in cheek. With its spiffy production values and game cast, the film has a lot going for it. (Pattinson and Wasikowska, last seen together in David Cronenberg's “Maps to the Stars,” mesh well together, especially when they're at odds, an understatement in this case.) But despite the commitment on both sides of the camera, the Zellners have cooked up a uniquely unsatisfying oater that's been out in the sun too long. As slight as it is obnoxious, this well-intentioned trifle ends up whittling down to nothing, until all we're left with are pretty pictures and the broken tatters of our long-exhausted patience.
“Damsel” is now showing at Regal South Beach Stadium 18.

One listen for this one. I feel I should’ve gone for a second as there was a lot I missed and I feel this doesn’t cover the song well enough.
Vice City’s “Fantasma (Abstract Mix)” is from Reconstruct Fantasma.
I hope you enjoy.
A mysterious sound flickers and seemingly oscillates whilst a percussive strike scatters and spreads. It seems to have shattered and it continues to to break and smash whilst more sound that could be percussive comes in. It is, at the very least, mechanical.
Space clears and there is something else that makes itself noticed in a loop. Slowly something else, seemingly growing comes to the forefront and it spreads out and lowers whilst staying exactly where it is. That loop rises and other percussive sounds come, but they clear and the focus is on this growth and it continues to smother everything and clear, and something seemingly searches upon its surface whilst other sounds appear as clicks and beeps, and all seems calm, though maybe not quite at ease.
The sound is wide and narrow and parts of it shimmer and it seems beautiful and odd, and fantastic, and it slowly thins and recedes as the song ends.

It want to know what everybody think about adding the joker on Dead by Daylight
Not that one.
Besides, we sorta have a Joker like killer already. The beer gut killer we all love, The Clown who's laugh can brighten a room.
I want him from 2016.
I think a stylized costume for the clown would be potentially neat, but we already have a clown face character, so I don't think he would bring enough diversity to the game. Especially since he is also known for sing a chemical gas agent to effect his targets.
If the clown wasn't in the game, i'd be a little more for it but still reluctant. I think The Bat Who Laughs would be a more unique addition to the game.
We already got an obsessive Clown wearing a Ringmaster suit that uses toxic gas as his trademark tool/weapon. They are both quite similar if it wasn't for one being tall and thicc and the other being as scrawny as a scarecrow made of 5 chopsticks.
@ChesterTheMolester where's the 5th? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
The torso obviously, the sixth one is made of a matchstick ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

It's Nightcrawler's 21st birthday, and he's opening his presents. One of them is a statue of himself, which explodes and knocks him
deadinto a hell dimension, which Doctor Strange, guest star for this issue, transports the rest of them to.
The hell dimension is consciously modelled after Dante's Inferno, and we, along with the X-Men, are taken on a tour of it. One of the funnier moments is when Colossus, surveying hell, proclaims that he is pleased that he was brought up as an atheist, if being a Christian means you have to accept the existence of what he's looking at.
What's this all about? Well, Nightcrawler, way back in Giant-Size #1 was being chased by a mob. But not (directly) because he looked weird. He'd been blamed for some murders, which were really the doing of his step-brother, who he later killed in self-defence. The hell has been the doing of his step-mother. And Amanda Sefton, the girl he's been dating for quite a while now, turns out to have been his step-sister, spying on him.
This is where Kurt really shows his really-good side, as he's more than happy to forgive everyone involved, and isn't even mad at Amanda about the whole incest thing, and is in fact more than happy to continue it.
Which is strange, because Westermarck effect, so was how old was Kurt when he was adopted, anyway?
Otherdoors, Kitty is totally crushing on Peter, and I am thinking about making an X-Men Shag Chart.

Minecraft, which was released in 2011, has been a cultural phenomenon and is still very popular ten years later. It is loved by a whole generation of gamers and bridges the age gap between older and younger gamers.
It is a hugely popular game, but many people might be curious about the real reason behind it. It can be difficult to find out the core of Minecraft with so much information available in the media.
This guide will help you, as a parent, understand everything you need to know about Minecraft.
- What is Minecraft?- How do you play Minecraft?
What do I need to buy in order to play Minecraft?
- Can You Play Minecraft Across Devices?
- Which Minecraft Modes Are Available?
What is a Minecraft Server?
- What Age is Appropriate for Minecraft?
What settings should I know to keep my child safe on Minecraft?
A Guide To Minecraft Jargon
Minecraft was released in 2011 by Mojang, a Swedish video game studio. It's a game that emphasizes procedurally generated worlds and ultimate creativity. The game can be procedurally generated so that players can create an entirely random and unique world.
Players create the world by exploring it. It is unlike any other world. Minecraft has many game modes and a multitude of activities.
Minecraft also allows multiplayer play. This means that you can have multiple people exploring and creating in the same world.
Minecraft has fairly standard controls. To move around the world, players can switch between third- and first-person perspectives. To build and use blocks and other items, players will need to collect them.
You can get items depending on the mode you're playing. However, all modes offer an inventory that allows players to store their possessions on your virtual person. Gamers can use their characters to run, jump, stealthily, and perform all kinds of actions while searching for items.
You will need to purchase Minecraft. The game can be purchased in physical stores and online as a digital code. Minecraft is currently available for PC, Mac and Android. Wii U, Apple, New Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Switch.
This means that Minecraft can be played on any modern gaming device. There is no difference between purchasing the game online or physically.
Some physical releases include extra content, such as skins for players. You can purchase additional content through Minecraft with real money. You can buy pre-made maps, skins and game modes to use in Minecraft.
These extra purchases are completely optional, but once you have purchased the base game, there is nothing you need to get going.
Yes! You can absolutely play Minecraft across multiple devices. Minecraft Java edition is the only version that isn't cross-platform compatible. It is one of two Minecraft versions available on PC.
All versions of the game are compatible. This means that players can connect to the same world from different devices and have hours of fun playing together. Your children can play the same game in the world with a friend or family member at home.
It is important to note that Minecraft must be purchased on each device before you can play it. Minecraft is an affordable game. The price of Minecraft will vary depending on the console it is purchased.
There's three main Minecraft modes you can play. They are survival, creative, or adventure. Each mode has its own unique features, but they are all worth exploring.
Survival mode works exactly as it sounds. To survive the night and thrive in their world, players will be spawned in random worlds.
To survive, players must fight monsters that appear in the dark and feed their hunger. Gamers will need to explore the environment and find materials to build shelters, tools, and food.
You can change the difficulty or other settings, and you can also remove monsters from the game, if you wish. This is especially useful for younger gamers to avoid getting frustrated.
Creative mode allows players to access every item in the game as well as invincibility, and the ability to fly. This mode allows players to create whatever they want and build to their hearts' content.
Adventure mode is very similar to survival, but more restrictive. To destroy certain blocks, players will need the right tools. In survival mode, players can gather wood from trees using their hands. To cut down trees in adventure mode, players will require an axe.
Adventure mode is for gamers who are looking to play story-driven adventure maps. These maps can be downloaded from the internet or purchased in-game.
Minecraft servers are large multiplayer hubs that allow players to communicate with each other and play together. To join a Minecraft server, you will need an internet connection.
Servers that allow players to survive together in major survival and creative realms are available. Servers with different features let players play minigames and role play together.
Minecraft Java edition has thousands of servers you can join online by searching for the code. There are a few servers on Minecraft Bedrock that you can join via the server menu in-game.
As a parent, I should warn you that Minecraft servers allow chat functions and players to type and build whatever they like. This means that some servers allow players to swear or create suggestive or other raunchy builds.
There are however, family-friendly Minecraft servers that adhere to strict rules. These servers can be found online at the many Minecraft server listing websites.
The ESRB has rated Minecraft E for everyone. Although it has fantasy violence and weaponry, both are quite funny. You will hear a sound when you attack monsters and other enemies.
Additionally, players who take damage to their screen will see a flashing red for a second. There is no blood, or anything at all gory when players die. Minecraft violence is essentially the same as kids playing outside with toy guns.
The game is suitable for children of all ages. The game can get a little complicated in survival mode, and when you navigate through the menus in creativity mode. Minecraft is recommended for players aged nine and above.
However, younger children can still play it depending on their maturity. I've heard of children who started Minecraft as young as five years old and still had a lot of fun.
Minecraft doesn't have any content that isn't suitable for children so there aren't any settings you can use to make Minecraft safer.
Online play can be disabled through your child's console if you are concerned. The method you use to do this will depend on the console you're using, but you can usually find them under parental settings within the console's settings menu.
The jargon of Minecraft can be a bit confusing, especially for parents who aren't familiar with the language.
Minecraft's vocabulary has become more mainstream as the game becomes more popular. Here's a quick guide to Minecraft terminology.
Creepers are enemies that can explode if players approach them. Creepers are known for their destructive abilities and can easily destroy a player's build in just seconds.
Mob is the catch-all term used to describe enemies in Minecraft. It stands for mobile and was originally used to describe enemies who could move around the globe. It was quickly shortened to mob and became a common phrase among players.
Spawning simply means to appear in the context of spawning into new Minecraft worlds. Enemies will spawn in the dark or at night, and animals will spawn if there are no players around.
One-hit is a term used in player versus game modes. It means that an enemy must be hit only once before they are defeated. It is often used when a player is talking with a teammate and is defeated during a battle.
To encourage others to attack them, players will say that an enemy can be one-hit. One-hit can be applied to both mobs and real enemies.
Players can access the Nether by creating a portal in their Minecraft World. The Nether allows players to access new areas and fight new foes in order to obtain special resources.
Minecraft is just as relevant today, ten years after it was released. It is a fan-favorite video game and that's not surprising. It is unlike any other game that allows players to unleash their creativity and work together towards achieving different goals.
Minecraft is very popular with younger children, so many parents want to learn more about it. This guide will teach you everything you need to get into Minecraft with your child.

Snoop Dogg‘s decision to cancel two of his big shows in solidarity with the SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild strikes is a powerful statement. By nixing his Hollywood Bowl show and expressing support for the union members, he’s highlighting the importance of fair negotiations and standing with fellow artists during this challenging time.
While Snoop’s music career may not be directly affected by the SAG and WGA strikes, his recent statements about the recording industry and artists getting shortchanged in the age of streaming show that he is keenly aware of the struggles faced by creative professionals. His support for the union members fighting for better working conditions and compensation aligns with his call for change in the music industry as well.
Snoop’s actions could potentially set a precedent for other artists to take a stand and support their fellow creatives in the entertainment industry. With his influence and notoriety, other musicians may follow suit, adding to the collective pressure on the industry to address the concerns raised by the unions.
As the strikes continue, artists like Snoop Dogg using their platforms to advocate for change and support their colleagues may have a significant impact on the ongoing negotiations and the push for a fair resolution. It will be interesting to see how his actions inspire others and contribute to the larger conversation surrounding fair treatment and compensation for creative professionals.
As Snoop Dogg’s decision to cancel shows in solidarity with the strikes gains attention, it also raises broader questions about the treatment and compensation of artists in various entertainment sectors. While the strikes primarily focus on issues within the television and film industry, the conversations sparked by Snoop’s actions highlight the interconnected challenges faced by artists across different mediums.
The issues of fair compensation, residuals, and streaming revenue are not unique to actors and writers but are shared by musicians and other creative professionals as well. The advent of digital streaming platforms has transformed the way content is consumed, leading to ongoing debates about the fair distribution of revenues among artists, record labels, and streaming services.
Snoop’s involvement in these discussions indicates a growing awareness among artists about the need for industry-wide change. By taking a stance in support of union members, he is not only showing solidarity with actors and writers but also signaling his commitment to advocating for the rights and fair treatment of artists in all creative fields.
The entertainment industry is a complex ecosystem, and the issues raised by the strikes touch upon fundamental aspects of artists’ livelihoods, creative rights, and financial well-being. As more prominent figures like Snoop Dogg lend their voices to these conversations, the potential for meaningful change and reform grows stronger.
The impact of Snoop’s actions may extend beyond his own industry and inspire other artists and creators to examine their own experiences and advocate for better working conditions and fair compensation. As the entertainment landscape continues to evolve, the solidarity displayed by artists can play a crucial role in shaping the future of the industry for the better.
Ultimately, Snoop Dogg’s decision to stand with his fellow artists in the face of ongoing strikes reinforces the importance of unity and collective action in addressing systemic issues within the entertainment world. It serves as a reminder that, despite working in different creative fields, artists share common challenges and can find strength in coming together to drive positive change.

Trailer Watch: Park Chan-Wook’s Stoker
The early months of the year are typically something of a cinematic wasteland dominated by substandard horror movies and thrillers, films that act as a palate cleanser to rid us of the taste of all those worthy pictures that awards season has fed us. Park Chan-Wook’s first Hollywood film, Stoker, is set to drop on March 1 next year, just as the bad starts turning to better; it looks like both a gripping genre piece and visually stunning, and personally I can’t wait to see it. Interestingly, though this is an American film, only the screenwriter (former Prison Break star Wentworth Miller) and the actor playing the deceased father, Dermot Mulroney, are actually Americans. Park is, of course, Korean, while his three principal female actors (Mia Wasikowska, Nicole Kidman and Jacki Weaver) are all Australian, and the male lead, Matthew Goode, is English.

Intro to Werewolf the Forsaken 2nd Edition
Werewolf the Forsaken on Discord
Price per player-session
About the adventure
You are a werewolf, you are a monster full of rage that needs to be channeled. You are also the child of a long legacy of warriors who have kept the spirit's and mortal's world apart. This game is designed to probe what it means to struggle with a consistent tug of being human or spirit, and you are to be the ward between them spirits should stay in their world and mortals in theirs, but who is the threat? Is it humans who unknowingly feed the spirits or is it spirits who try to control the mortal realm? See how the spirits act in the city on the water, Seattle. See how the humans change nature. See how Father wolf will bless or curse you.
How to prepare
A player will need a mic at least, webcam is not required, discord downloaded, their own dice if they wish or to use my dice roller on discord. A player does not have to have a thorough understanding of the rules, but needs to have a bit of imagination and willing to learn the rules as we play. A player does need to have a character sheet for themselves, but doesn't need to resubmit one when leveling up.
What I provide
I will bring the rule book, a discord to interact in, and a plot to hunt down.
Chronicles of Darkness use the storyteller system which requires the players to roll 10- sided equal to an attribute and skill to succeed at tests. Any dice over 8 is considered a success, but if the roll comes up with no successes then the roll is a failure, but if you only roll one die and it is a 1 then it is a dramatic failure. Though there are conditions that could influence rolls as well as how characters react to certain events or beings. A usual session will be centered around a current mystery, whether that is a simple murder case or what is causing the spirits to attack those who enter their realm, with the added complications of the character's personal touches and motivations.
Safety tools used
How will character creation work
The system does not have a level system in the normal sense, but characters will be considered beginners. If players wish to pre-make characters it would be appreciated, but needs to be confirmed by me. There will be pre-generated characters available, but I will assist in character creation if desired and there is time before the game.
Players can expect
- Combat/Tactics: Medium
- Roleplay: High
- Puzzles: Low
- Experience Level: None

1. Arcane (2021-)
Like ‘Dragon Age: Absolution’ and many completely different entries on this guidelines, ‘Arcane’ has originated from a on-line sport: Riot’s ‘League of Legends.’ The plot follows two siblings, Vi and Powder, who turn into orphans in the beginning of the gathering all through a failed revolt by the impoverished people of the undercity in opposition to the privileged class of the city of Piltover. The sisters get separated after they’re youthful and develop as a lot as be on reverse sides of a battle. Vi, like Korra and Miriam, is a formidable female protagonist, and her relationship with Caitlyn Kiramman is a severe aspect of the plot.

6 F@!*%!-Up Movie And TV Roles Played By Politicians
Primary season is here, and that means politicians doing everything to convince us that they're actual electable people and not space lizards who subsist on spinal fluid and votes. One way they do this is through acting in various entertainments. Because nothing says "authenticity" like awkwardly reciting words someone else wrote. Now, you'd think every politician involved in the current election would have plenty of experience looking into a camera and lying, but the following examples paint a disturbingly different picture. This bunch makes everyone in The Ridiculous 6 look like Meryl Streep.
Unless ... are these famous politicians intentionally trying to make us think they're awful actors so that we'll trust them more? That might be the only rational explanation for bizarre on-camera romps like ...
Hillary Clinton Starred As "Hillary Gump" In A Cringe-Tastic '90s Parody
If you think Foreskin Gump (a real thing; don't look it up) was the most awkward-to-watch Forrest Gump parody, oh boy are you in for a treat. In 1995, Gump-mania was running wild, so the Clintons capitalized on it by filming their own version for the Gridiron Club's annual fancy-people dinner.
Meet "Hillary Rodham Gump," waiting for a bus outside the White House despite having a whole damn motorcade at her command:
Not sure if that's a tourist or, like, a regular 1995 inhabitant.
Almost immediately, she drops the first of several "blank is like a box of chocolates" jokes: "The White House is like a box of chocolates -- pretty on the outside, but inside there's lots of nuts." Is ... is that a Bill Clinton joke? That sounds like a Bill Clinton joke. In any case, we know we're supposed to laugh at this point because the video punctuates each joke with an awkward close-up of Hillary looking into the camera.
"Ay dios mio."
Then begins a series of flashbacks, in which we learn that Hillary is in fact the anti-Forrest. Instead of accidentally giving people great ideas, she specializes in shattering political careers. She advised George McGovern to give a speech at 2 a.m., told Jimmy Carter to talk about mayonnaise (he misheard and thought she said malaise), and we find out through a clip of All The President's Men that she was Deep Thr-- OK, that's a Bill joke for sure.
Years later, the real Hillary would learn that every woman in the White House was Deep Throat except her.
Oh, and because this was the mid '90s and Hillary's thing was still "hair," she changes wigs with each new flashback. Apparently "life is like a hairstyle; you just keep changing it until you find something that works." Life is like a pandering stump speech too, in that sense.
Above: The first and last time anyone shoehorned Hillary Clinton, Marilyn Monroe, and Pulp Fiction-era Uma Thurman into the same conversation.
Tourist Bro then mysteriously disappears (exactly like the ... emails or the Benghazis or whatever, we don't watch CNN), and Bill takes his place. Because this was the mid '90s and Bill's thing was still "fat," he steals Hillary's chocolates and makes her produce some McDonald's French fries out of thin air.
This was his one requirement for shooting the video.
Today, this video is played nonstop at the Clinton Presidential Library. Maybe they forgot about it. Because this video is like a box of coconut chocolates: It sits there forever, gathering dust and mold, until you find it one day and it makes you vomit.
Ben Carson Was In A Farrelly Brothers Movie, And There's A Cuba Gooding Jr. Film About His Life
Before he co-opted Donald Trump's bigotry and sexism for the OD'd-on-NyQuil crowd, Ben Carson was a famous and highly respected neurosurgeon. And what are respected neurosurgeons best known for? Acting in Farrelly brothers movies, of course:
In the 2003 film Stuck On You, conjoined twins Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear finally decide to get un-stuck from each other, and Carson's just the sleepyhead to do it. However, we don't get to see him perform the one thing he's good at; he simply puts on a surgical mask and stares at the characters with those handsome, slightly serial-killer-ish eyes of his.
Can more than one Republican candidate be the Zodiac killer?
His only dialogue is a joke that Arrested Development would eventually do way, way better (and not just because they got a real actor to say it). Post-surgery, Carson wakes up the twins' girlfriends to sadly inform them that he "lost them." As they understandably start to cry, another doctor tells Carson that they found the twins upstairs -- he meant "lost them" as in physically, you see. The girls respond to this uproarious swerve by shoving Carson, who reacts exactly as you'd expect him to: as if a soft bit of white noise gently awoke him from a sound, peaceful slumber.
"So, uh, when do we get to the 'hair gel' scene?"
Amazingly, this borderline-pointless cameo got him invited to the film's premiere, probably to resuscitate any spectators who slipped into comas during the screening. Carson was so beloved before he blew it all in favor of the dumbest presidential run since Mondale that he got an even dumber TV movie made about his life. Released in 2009, Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story was notable for, well, not much, aside from proving that Cuba Gooding Jr. would let absolutely anyone show him the money by that point.
Gooding is now typecast as "beloved black celebrity in the news for the wrong reasons."
It's not even about Carson's career for the most part; the bulk of the film concerns his childhood, and how he went from a straight-F student with a violent temper to a medical genius more laidback than a hundred Bob Rosses. You could find and watch the whole film, but you've got better things to do, like bleed out slowly. So here's a brief snippet, just to show you what kind of schmaltzy crap TNT resorts to when the Hawks aren't playing.
Bernie Sanders Was In Two Obscure Romantic Comedies
Saturday Night Live has been milking Bernie Sanders' resemblance to Larry David for months now, but what you may not know is that the former has an arguably more successful film career than the latter. For starters, he played "Rabbi Manny Shevitz" in the 1999 romantic comedy My X-Girlfriend's Wedding Reception. The low-budget film currently has a 67 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which likely has nothing to do with the epic plot and everything to do with this year's tomato tossers feeling the Bern.
The scene gives us a taste of what Sanders' State of the Union speeches might be like if the 74-year-old develops dementia before finishing his term. His character starts to speak of celebrating life and all that other wedding crap, but quickly descends into a weird aside about how baseball ain't what it used to be because the Dodgers aren't in Brooklyn anymore.
The bride, Debbie Gibson, silently prays for the Wayback Machine to send her to 1988 where she belongs.
The rant continues, as Sanders says, "I remember when the Dodgers played the Yankees, and you bought a ticket. That ticket was good for ten years." (PolitiFact might take issue with that statement.) After promising to get back on track, he immediately goes off about how much "that free agency crap" sucks hardballs. "That's $2 million dollars here, they spend $12 million there, what's so free about that free agency? I can't take that anymore!" It's the "Why do they call it a driveway when you park there" of low-budget sports rants by frazzled old men in yarmulkes.
Holy shit, he's Jewish?!
The end of the rant is ambiguously optimistic enough to be at home in any political speech, though: "All in all, it's not so bad. When it's good, it's good. If it doesn't feel right, just say no. There's always tomorrow. It could be worse." Excuse us, we have something in our eye.
That wasn't Sanders' only star turn, though. Eleven years prior, he had a ten-second cameo in Susan Sarandon's Sweet Hearts Dance as "Bernie," a guy giving out Halloween candy while some dad accuses him of cheapness. Way to fight those Jewish stereotypes in the media, Bernie.
He was probably too distracted by all that free agency crap to remember to dole out a second Twix per kid.
Joe Biden Insulted The Host Of Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego
Of all the politicians with Hollywood aspirations, you'd think that Joe "Oh Yeah, I'm Vice President" Biden would be the most natural. There's no way his wacky drunk uncle shtick wouldn't translate to madcap comic insanity, right? It seems there is, judging by his wooden, pre-taped cameo on Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?, the greatest show to ever let egghead kids make adults feel like complete morons (since Jeopardy only does that once a year).
Because being a Delaware Senator leaves you with lots of free time, Biden calls the ACME Detective Agency -- a company he's so fond of that he keeps a shrine to it in his office.
"I feed exclusively on live roadrunners."
Rather than help the contestant deduce where Carmen spent her unlimited frequent flier miles this time, Biden chooses to troll Greg, the show's host. According to Biden, Congress was prepared to name him Detective of the Year, but several rounds of bickering whittled the honor down significantly. First he was Detective of the Month, then of the work week, and finally, they settled on "The Somewhat Notable Detective of the Next 12 Minutes." That's pretty sad, but it's still a higher honor than vice president.
Looks like Phil Collins didn't have much going on in the '80s either.
Adding to the indignity, the wonderfully monotone roast is followed by a cartoon mouse calling in to (literally) rat on Sandiego. A guy with a plastic rodent nose and a tattered cheese sweater shared equal billing with the future Mr. One Heartbeat Away. And they say kids' shows are silly.
But hey, that was 25 years ago. Maybe Biden's comedic chops have improved since then? We'll bet his cameo on Parks And Recreation was chock-full of hilariously surreal Bidenisms:
Or not. Still, he sure can stand there awkwardly while Amy Poehler fangirls with the best of them.
Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy Has Been In More Batman Films Than Anyone Else
Bernie Sanders may be all over your TV, but Patrick Leahy, the other senator from Vermont, likely got there first. Not because he wants to be president, but because everybody loves Batman and he shows up in Gotham more than crime.
Leahy is a huge Batman fanboy, and regularly uses his clout as the third-most-powerful guy in Vermont (behind both Ben and Jerry) to appear in many of the Dark Knight's wacky adventures. He debuted in Batman Forever in a role so brief that it's not even on the Internet. He followed that sterling performance by going animated, voicing a Teddy-Roosevelt-looking politician in a western-themed Batman: The Animated Series episode which stole Wild Wild West movie's plot before the Wild Wild West movie existed.
Had it been a present-day episode, he would have voiced Harley Quinn.
Two years later, he made a cameo in the movie George Clooney still owes you money for: Batman And Robin. He played a party guest exposed to Poison Ivy's horndog gas, though he suspiciously stayed silent while everyone else bid millions to win her love. We assume he was too aroused to even form words.
Like the rest of the universe, Leahy took time away from the franchise after that movie. He sat out Batman Begins, but by The Dark Knight, he was back -- he's the unfortunate party guest who threatens the Joker with, "We're not intimidated by thugs," only to come within seconds of earning a permanent smile:
His role in The Dark Knight Rises was much less life-threatening. He plays a Wayne Enterprises board member who tries to save Bruce's job, but gets rudely cut off by some slimy suit who wants to run the company himself. Bane unceremoniously breaks that guy's neck later. You do not fuck with the senior senator of America's second-least-populous state and live.
He's not done, either. Leahy is set to appear in Batman v. Superman, presumably in a role less important than Affleck's but more important than Aquaman's.
So why does this guy get so many Batroles, when really any old dude who can shit himself while being knifed would do? It might have something to do with the fact that Leahy loves him some copyright law, and Time Warner love themselves some "pushing legislation to block sites like The Pirate Bay from the Internet." Batman movies appear to be another way to keep their favorite Net Non-Neutral advocate happy for the next time the Internet riots over possibly having to pay for stuff.
Donald Trump Played Himself In A Ghost-Themed Sex Comedy
Donald Trump is the ultimate typecast actor, in that he only plays one role: himself. He's appeared in over 200 shows and movies, and he almost never plays anyone but "Donald Trump." His version of challenging himself is to play "Donald Trump" under a different name, like "Forbes Cover Billionaire" or "VIP Patron." And yet, even with all that practice with the most slam-dunk role imaginable, he's still probably the worst actor of all time. Case in point: Ghosts Can't Do It, a 1990 sex comedy that will make you never want to have sex again (with ghosts or otherwise).
The film concerns an old man (Anthony Quinn) who kills himself because he's too old and weak to fuck Bo Derek. Derek and Quinn's spirit need a young body to murder so Quinn can occupy it and be young and erectily-functional again, and this somehow brings them to Trump's boardroom. Because when you think "young and virile," you think of ol' dyed-skunk-head.
Anyway, Ghost Quinn tells Derek what to say, because Derek is giggly and girly and can't make big boy business decisions by her giggly, girly self. (Actual line: "From the look of this room, it isn't woman's work we're doing here.") Trump, for his part, gawks at her with a creeptastic smile that all but says, "Hey, you're not my daughter, so ..."
"A wall isn't the only thing I'm gonna promise to erect despite lacking the resources, baby."
At one point, Trump threatens her with, "In this room, there are knives sharp enough to cut you to the bone, and hearts cold enough to eat yours for hors d'oeuvres." That makes no sense, though "Cannibal Hearts" would be an awesome band name. Derek finally responds with a non-ghost-hubby thought. Unfortunately, it's "You're too pretty to be bad." Star Wars requires less suspension of disbelief. And speaking of which, Trump's reply is the closest he will ever come to being Harrison Ford: "You noticed."
The cameraman had an aneurysm while they shot that line.
Ghosts Can't Do It won multiple awards (Razzies, but still), and proved that the only possible upside of a Trump presidency is that he'd be too busy ruining the country to ruin Hollywood anymore. So ... eight more years?
Jason doesn't care who wins, because he'll be old enough to run in 2020 and plans to crush whomever's in charge. Get on the Facebook and Twitter trains now, and he'll make you secretary of state. All of you.

The nukes have fallen, blanketing the planet in nuclear rain, and the only thing left is to kill the person responsible at the top of a tower filled with traps, lethal AI, junkies, and monstrous bosses in Synth-Punk roguelike action game Black Future ‘88.
In this grim, pixellated action game, players can choose from five different characters based on their varied abilities, doing so alone or in co-op as they ascend the procedurally-generated tower. They won’t just have their starting abilities and powers along the journey, though, as players can discover fifty different weapons, as well as over thirty curses and buffs that will shape how their combat style shapes up.
If the tower does not prove hard enough, daily challenges will allow players to try especially difficult areas, and all so they can vie for a spot on the global leaderboards.
Black Future ‘88 is slated for release in 2018, according to its Steam Page.

Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, was originally titled Män som hatar kvinnor, which directly translates as Men Who Hate Women. Though that sounds like a terrible Lifetime Cable TV movie, both titles actually describe the work well. The American one seems to echo those of the Italian "giallo" films made in the '60s and the '70s. Films whose florid labels such as The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, A Lizard in a Woman's Skin, and Black Belly of the Tarantula gave an arty dimension to what were basically paperback thrillers. Which is what Dragon Tattoo is, at least on the surface. All the technical mumbo-jumbo of computer hacking aside, its nasty and effective plot machinery harkens back to the works of Agatha Christie and John Dickson Carr by basically reworking elements of the old "locked-room mystery" along with the even older gothic tradition of the "shocking family secret." In this respect, the new title is apropos. The film version by director Niels Arden Oplev is a faithful adaptation of the novel...perhaps too faithful to work completely as cinema, but well-produced nonetheless. It is the story of journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist), who is sentenced to a short prison term after being framed for libel. Free for a short period of time before having to serve that sentence, he reluctantly accepts a job offer from Henrik Vanger (Sven-Bertil Taube), the aged former CEO of the Vanger Corporation and patriarch of the powerful, yet very dysfunctional, Vanger family. Henrik wants him to look into the disappearance and, he believes, murder, of his beloved niece, Harriet Vanger, some 40 years earlier. Harriet was just 16 years old when she disappeared during a road-tanker crash that closed off the only bridge that connected their Island home to the mainland. He believes that, since she could not get off the island during the hours she was unaccounted for, she must never have left.
The tired and broken Blomkvist stays in a small house on the grounds of the Vanger estate and is soon drawn into what a paperback thriller would call "a web of lies and secrets." But this is where Larsson leaves the world of the paperback thriller behind. Blomkvist cannot seem to make any headway on the case when he is suddenly contacted by the very mysterious title character. Lisabeth Salander is a brilliant but antisocial computer hacker who has been hacking Blomkvist, initially for an assignment, then later out of curiosity and admiration for the famed journalist. Realizing her genius, Blomkvist calls her bluff and the two join together as a classic detective team to solve the mystery of Harriet Vanger.
It is with the psychologically complex character of Lisabeth Salander that Larsson elevates his story from a standard country-house mystery into something much more interesting. Played with ferocious intensity by Noomi Rapace, Salander has an extremely cold exterior, which masks a fragile interior -- the result of a life filled with terrible sexual abuse and victimization. Larsson uses her character to examine the wider theme of misogyny, which truly dominates the book's narrative. This is why the original title really expresses the spirit of his novel best. Larsson uses the thriller machinery to examine larger themes of religious fundamentalism, Nazism in Swedish culture, and in particular the role of the female as victim. Lisabeth Salander is at the heart of this, and of the writer's "Millennium Trilogy" as a whole.
It's a good thing that Larsson's story is as well constructed as it is, since the film itself is rather slackly produced. There is a kind of "Masterpiece Theater" feeling about the production, which seems more interested in getting all of the novel's major plot points onscreen than in making sure those plot points resound. The best way to describe this film would be to imagine Oplev as a Swedish Ron Howard. As with Howard's impersonal The Da Vinci Code, the film is professionally shot, ably acted, and edited. There is a certain level of suspense and atmosphere. But that's it. Swedish Ron Howard made a competent recording of the novel on film. What he didn't do was make a movie out of it. There is no concern at all with translating the book's events into a language more appropriate to cinema or with investing any personal feeling in the telling of the story. If you want to know what happens in Stieg Larsson's novel, the movie will tell you. If you want to live in the world of Larsson's novel, to experience the atmosphere of the island, or to feel the pain of the victims, the film will fail you completely. There is talk of an American remake, which for once sounds like a good idea. As long as the Swedish Ron Howard isn't replaced by the American one. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is being released onto DVD by Music Box Films Home Entertainment in a 2.35:1 anamorphic aspect ratio and Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo. I am not familiar with this company, and since I reviewed the disc from a screener, I can't be sure whether or not the strange artifacts and digital streaking that occurred from time to time were just a screener issue. The release version of the DVD includes an English-dubbed track for the "Subtitle-Challenged" and an interview with Rapace.

If it's crap ... We'll tell you
Reboots are a tricky matter to approach. Stray too close to its origins and people will wonder why there was ever need of a change-up in the first place. Venture too far away from its roots and people will start violent mobs demanding blood (a very real threat in this instance). I can't really comment on whether or not the Devil May Cry franchise needed a reboot since I wasn't a fan of it in the first place. I enjoyed the combat system in Devil May Cry 3, but the story and characters bored me to absolute tears, especially since the main protagonist came off as nothing more than a bland, showboating bad-ass with a penchant for one-liners. Outside of that, I've always been at an arm's length away from the series. However, when Ninja Theory, a developer I cherished for creating Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, was selected for the task of re-vamping the series, I was actually interested in the franchise's next iteration. And despite the childish tantrums thrown by overly-sentimental fanboys over design changes, the game has turned out to be one of the better hack-n-slash titles of this generation.
DmC: Devil May Cry stars Dante, the love-child of a demon father and angel mother, making him a Nephilim - a half-breed capable of easily crossing between the demon and human realms. For reasons that are explored in the game's narrative, he grows up alone, fighting against the demon forces and their leader, Mundus, shunning society who has deemed him to be a violent psychopath, incapable of seeing the demons that hunt him; that is until Kat, a wiccan medium, comes to retrieve Dante and brings him into the group known as "The Order" who strive to free mankind of the sinister grasp of the demons. The group is lead by Dante's long-lost twin brother, Vergil, who journeys with him to rediscover their past and save the future for mankind. In terms of narratives, DmC is pretty standard fare for the "save the world from Demons" storyline. The good guys are good, the bad guys are bad, and the few plot twists, though played out well, aren't exactly all that surprising when they do appear.
I never understood why soo many people were at odds with this interpretation of Dante's character in the trailers and TV spots, since, to me, he's always come off as a bit of a stand-offish egocentric douche in the rest of the series. However, this go around, the developers delve into the why of his brooding and contentious attitude which works surprisingly well. It's the explanation of why Dante is who he is which makes him a much more fascinating character than his previous portrayals. Although the ally characters of Kat and Vergil are injected with a little bit of life here and there, they aren't exactly the highlight of the game's narrative. While the villains are fairly one-dimensional, there were a few moments that actually caught me by surprise as the game questioned the role of violence and vengeance, not thoroughly mind you, but enough to garner my attention.
The soundtrack to the game is a collaborative effort between Noisia and CombiChrist combining electronica and heavy metal to create something visceral and adrenaline pumping as you hack up your enemies. The weapon sound effects are all great with the sword giving off a perfect metallic twang when bouncing off armor while your guns punch out bullets with force giving them the feeling of being very dangerous rather than just sounding like weak pop-guns that some games have a tendency to veer towards. The voice acting is solid all around with Tim Phillips as Dante and Sage Mears as Kat being the standouts of the bunch as they have good chemistry together and combine the right levels of levity and gravitas to make their relationship feel natural. The game satirizes subjects such as consumer culture and the mass media (there are wonderful FoxNews and Bill O'Reilly stand-ins for those who hate the pathetic excuse for a 24-hour news station), but they're handled with the sledgehammer approach to satire rather than the scalpel - they're blatant, not subtle, much like the previous sentence.
The combat system, while not as deep as some of the previous entries into the franchise, turns out to be one of the most enjoyable ones of the genre in recent memory. You have your standard attack buttons of guns, sword attacks, and air-launching swipes, but you also have the inclusion of the angel or devil move set that are activated when you hold down their corresponding triggers on the controller. While not only allowing you access to more weapons for different styles of attack, they also open up the options to either grapple an enemy towards you or to launch yourself at your opponent making enemy juggling a fun endeavor. Unlike hack-n-slash contemporaries like God of War or Bayonetta, these alternative weapons and combat styles actually feel necessary without feeling like a chore to incorporate into the gameplay. In fact, you'll be just as eager to see how you can string together different move sets to get the highest combat rank possible more as a genuine challenge to yourself rather than the game demanding it of you. It's enjoyable to play, and even more rewarding to master. However, there are a few enemies that can only be destroyed with certain weapons which does relegate the player to merely using these instead of the combat style you would like, but that's a small complaint at best. The traditional puzzle elements of the series are replaced (save for one instance) with platforming segments and areas where you traverse across the environment which are exciting, especially when you'll make a last second decision to swing to a ledge before plummeting into oblivion.
The game is drop dead gorgeous. The folks over at Ninja Theory always had an eye for visual splendor in their games, but this is their crowning jewel in their archive. When Dante is dragged back into the world of Limbo, bright and beautiful contrasting colors pepper the landscape making the universe feel vibrant and alive with energy, especially when these environments blast apart, reforming, and create hazardous environments for Dante to traverse; it's as if the very fabric of reality in Limbo is attempting to kill Dante making you always feel on edge whenever you're dragged back into the Hellish world. It could have been very easy to rely just a consistently oppressively terrifying environments that could leave the audience drained after a long period of time walking through them, ala Dante's Inferno, but the developer's strike a sweet balance between intimidating yet fascinating vistas. The same could be said for the enemies as the majority of them are designed more along the lines of Gothic/roman architecture inspired warriors than the easy cop-out of scary looking monsters.
DmC is not only one of the best hack-n-slash games this generation, but also (this will be heresy) my favorite entry into the series as it combines a great combat system, inspired creativity, terrific presentation, and outstanding pacing that still keeps me intrigued long after I've finished the single-player experience. Don't let nostalgia or bias of the original Devil May Cry saga ruin the experience of enjoying this game and all it has to offer especially since it's done with so much style.

Nicki Nicole is talking about featherweight like never before.
For weeks, the Argentine and the Mexican began to realize that there was something more between them besides friendship or a possible collaboration, after the remix of Por Las Noches.
Outings and trips confirmed the romance. But at the end of August, Nicki celebrated her birthday and posted a photo surrounded by a mountain of white flowers. He wrote: “Happy birthday to me. Someone made me a birthday altar.”
Featherweight replicated the image and added: “Happy birthday BB!”, with love emojis.

Wrong Time and Place
As babies Larry, Curly and Moe (Sean Hayes, Will Sasso and Chris Diamantopoulos) were left on the steps of an orphanage where despite the attempts of the nuns to ship them out they have remained till they are grown ups. But the orphanage gets bad news as unless they can raise up 830,000 bucks the place will close. Never fear as Larry, Curly and Moe are going to head out in to the big wide world to raise the money and save the day. The question is who is going to save them as they get involved with Lydia (SofÃa Vergara) and a murder plot.
The idea of making a modern "Three Stooges" movie is as ridiculous as someone trying to make a modern "Laurel & Hardy" movie. Not only is it incredibly hard to get actors who can deliver the old fashioned slapstick style comedy but a bigger question is whether that old sort of slapstick still works in today's world especially for a modern audience. As such when "The Three Stooges" was first announced I had that sinking feeling that this would never work and after it came to fruition under the guidance of the Farrelly brothers it is clear that I was right.
The issue is that the sort of slapstick which was the bread and butter of the Three Stooges back in their heyday does not work now in the same way, older audiences might enjoy it but younger audiences need something extra. The Farrelly's try to add that extra with not only scenes involving "The Jersey Shore" but a more typical Farrelly scene involving Larry, Curly and Moe having a pee-shooter fight in a maternity ward and in this case I do mean pee-shooter. It just doesn't feel right on so many levels with the majority of the gags failing and none ending up memorable even one featuring a dolphin, a peanut and a lion.
Then there is the casting and two out of three ain't bad as Sean Hayes is good as Larry and Will Sasso delivers the most effective performance as Curly with not only the mannerisms and noises but having the best comic timing of the trio. But every single performance in "The Three Stooges" feels like the actors are going through the motions, knowing full well that the movie isn't really coming together like originally hoped.
What this all boils down to is that "The Three Stooges" was a mistake from concept to final product as the slapstick humour of Larry, Curly and Moe belongs in the past whilst having them try and do more contemporary comedy is simply wrong. The only way that a modern "The Three Stooges" movie could work is if it was a biopic such as the 20o0 made for TV biopic which is also called "The Three Stooges".

Michel Poiccard (Jean-Paul Belmondo) is a small time crook who lives for the moment, and dreams of escaping France to start again in Italy, somewhere in Rome if he's lucky. Today he steals a car and sets off into the countryside, driving far too fast and far too dangerously as well, all the while chatting away to the audience he likes to believe is hanging on his every word and move. Pausing to nearly pick up a couple of hitchhiking women but then deciding against it when he judges them too ugly, he discovers a gun in the glove compartment and is delighted, but it will prove his downfall when he is stopped by a traffic policeman and casually shoots him dead...
Michel's problem, you see, is that he thinks life should be more like the movies, and that's what guides his behaviour in this, perhaps the most famous of the Nouvelle Vague movies to emerge from France in the late fifties and the rest of the sixties. Jean-Luc Godard was the man at the helm, an arrogant figure who nevertheless possessed boundless talent for creating the sort of cinematic magic that his main character here wants to exist in, and he had assistance from fellow New Wave notables François Truffaut (on story duties) and Claude Chabrol (as some kind of creative consultant), marking this out as an ideal synthesis of the movement's pioneers.
À bout de souffle, also called Breathless in English, certainly made waves around the world, but not everyone responded to it, and so it remains today with many proudly proclaiming that it does nothing for them, unaware of its great influence down movie history in works they do like. What always comes up in relation to this was the jump cuts, an editing technique Godard devised as an economical method of keeping the plot moving at a neat ninety minutes, and still conveys a sense of urgency, as if Michel is growing aware his time is limited. But there was more to the appeal of this, as a lot of what makes it so vital was a vivid immediacy: something about its use of locations made it feel as if you were really there in 1959 Paris, with all that potential ahead of you.
Helping were the performances of the central couple. Belmondo was apparently greatly surprised when this was lauded as an instant classic, yet his informal charisma and way with throwing out lines as if he really were Humphrey Bogart, the star Michel idolises, crafted a personality who should have been superficial and repellent (he shows no remorse about his crimes) yet actually came across as a doomed romantic with an almost parodic sense of humour. Meanwhile, Jean Seberg surviving Otto Preminger's career advice as his girlfriend Patricia Franchini was the sort of femme fatale you could well imagine Bogart falling for against his better judgement, an aspiring journalist who currently sells papers on the street, and whose connection to Michel is as shallow as it is necessary: they are a perfect couple in that they are both geared towards setting up the finale.
That finale sums up the irony and tragedy of Michel in that he loves the idea of being in a movie so much that life rejects his starry-eyed dreaming until it has a chance to give him the most fitting movie movie ending to that career. He has just made too many enemies from the cops to his fellow criminals, but the final betrayal comes from someone he thought he could love, with Godard's suspicion of true romance both bitter and oddly romantic in itself. With the sleek black and white photography effortlessly evocative of the time and place, À bout de souffle was an encapsulation of the cool and glamour of the best kind of escapism, all the while acknowledging the popular myths that represented. Later on, Godard would make sure to publically reject the Hollywood product, yet here, in his feature debut, he was dedicating his efforts to Poverty Row studio Monogram and rather slavishly emulating their style. If you ever wanted to walk down a Paris street calling "New York Herald Tribune!" or tell a beautiful woman who asks if she should wear a bra "Az you like eet, beybey!" this was the film for you.

In the world of gambling casinos, where the allure of luck and the logic of strategy intersect, finding balance is essential for success and enjoyment. While luck plays a significant role in determining the outcome of casino games, strategic thinking, and disciplined decision-making can also influence the course of play. In this article, we’ll explore the dynamic interplay between luck and logic in gambling casinos and discuss how finding balance between the two can enhance the overall gaming experience.
The Role of Luck
Luck is a central theme in the world of gambling casinos, where players place their bets in the hope of favorable outcomes. Whether it’s the roll of the dice, the spin of the roulette wheel, or the deal of the cards, luck is ever-present, shaping the course of play and determining the fate of players.
For many casino enthusiasts, the element of luck adds an exciting and unpredictable dimension to the gaming experience. The thrill of uncertainty, the anticipation of a big win, and the rush of adrenaline that comes with each spin or deal are all part of what makes gambling casinos so appealing to players around the world.
The Importance of Strategy
While luck may play a significant role in the outcome of casino games, strategic thinking and logical decision-making can also influence the results. Games like blackjack, poker, and even certain types of slot machines require a combination of skill, knowledge, and strategy to succeed.
In blackjack, for example, players must make strategic decisions about when to hit, stand, double down, or split pairs based on the cards they’re dealt and the dealer’s upcard. Similarly, in poker, players must use their understanding of the game, knowledge of probabilities, and ability to read their opponents to outwit and outplay the competition.
By incorporating strategic thinking into their gameplay, players can increase their chances of success and mitigate the impact of luck on the outcome of the game. While luck may still play a role, a strategic player has the power to influence the course of play and maximize their chances of winning.
Finding balance between luck and logic is key to enjoying a rewarding and fulfilling experience in gambling casinos. While luck may be a driving force in determining the outcome of games, strategic thinking and disciplined decision-making can help players make the most of their opportunities and minimize their losses.
It’s important for players to approach casino gaming with a mindset of balance and moderation, recognizing that both luck and strategy play a role in shaping the outcome of games. By embracing the uncertainty of luck while also employing logic and strategy in their gameplay, players can navigate the dynamic world of gambling casinos with confidence and poise.
In conclusion, luck and logic are two essential elements that shape the experience of gambling casinos. While luck adds excitement and unpredictability to the gaming experience, strategic thinking and logical decision-making can help players maximize their chances of success and enjoyment.
By finding balance between luck and logic, players can approach casino gaming with confidence, knowing that they have the skills and strategies necessary to navigate the highs and lows of the gaming experience. Whether you’re rolling the dice, spinning the wheel, or playing the cards, embracing the dynamic interplay between luck and logic is key to finding success and fulfillment in the world of gambling casinos.

It's the Return of the Rat ( me)! I Kid.. or is it iKid?
I'm busy³ working on the 1 Year Anniversary book + launch, so forgive me if I'm tired all the time and have even more of a one track mind. Big things are in the works, ok!!
Here's some photos from the past couple weeks!
NATURAL CHILD are from Nashville, TN. Their song " I Don't Want To Fuck You, But I Got To" is by and far the most hilarious song I've heard since the Leather Uppers put out "Don't Sell Hotdogs Tonight".
REGULATIONS are a crucial and crushing Swedish punk band that blew apart the Shop on a sleepy weekday night. If you liked Black Flag as a young person and still do, listen to this band!
CHEAP TIME are from Nashville as well, as almost every relevant band of today is. The singer looks a hell of a lot like what Superman would look like if he were actually a real human man in his mid 20's. Thats a good thing, at least I always think so. I really dig Cheap Time for their music, though!
← GRAND TRINE!
← SPECTRES + TV FREAKS!

For over a century now, Japanese cinema has mesmerized the audience by delivering some of the most impactful, distinguished and perceptive films. Behind them are acclaimed directors like Akira Kurosawa, Hayao Miyazaki and Yasujirō Ozu as well as modern masters like Hirokazu Koreeda and Takashi Miike. There is truly no shortage of Japanese directors and to their clever minds’ capacities to push cinematic storytelling in bold new directions.
From action-packed samurai epics to heart-rending human dramas, from mind-bending thrillers to sprawling animated adventures, Japanese movies have a magic that is all their own. They are known for creating visually immersive worlds with the kind of production values that simply do not exist anywhere else in the world. But that does not make their stories far-fetched at all. In fact, Japanese filmmakers spew takes that are original but universally relatable.
That said, these movies are set throughout the history of the country. There’s contemporary Tokyo and feudal Japan, and their stories still make the familiar feel fresh and allow the audience to find beauty in the simplest of things. As we count down the best Japanese movies of all time on this list, be warned, because you may discover an explosion of creative range of these filmmakers and the pure cinematic joy from a film industry that continues to endlessly surprise and innovate after all these years.
20 Our Little Sister (2015)
Based on a beautiful manga written by Akimi Yoshida throughout a decade from 2006, Our Little Sister is a contemporary family drama that revolves around the lives of three Kouda sisters Sachi, Yoshino, and Chika, as they reluctantly welcome their long-lost little sibling into their lives after their father passes away. The girls struggle to adapt to their new family dynamic and balance their responsibilities. They move to a traditional seaside town Kamakura and eventually grow closer through everyday moments of joy, wistfulness, sorrow, and hope.
Director Hirokazu Koreeda is known to imbue the simplest scenes with so many emotions, it is impossible not to feel your heart sink. From routine tasks like making miso soup to hanging laundry, every frame holds a deeper meaning about the healing power of forgiveness and how family isn’t necessarily defined by blood.
19 High and Low (1963)
Akira Kurosawa’s suspenseful, high-stakes, riveting police thriller follows a wealthy businessman, Gondo, trying to stage a massive shoe company buyout, when his house is invaded by kidnappers demanding a ransom. But the kidnappers accidentally abduct the wrong child (Gondo’s driver’s son) and what follows is a desperate hunt for the perpetrator as the gears of law and justice slowly grind into motion.
The movie begins as a thriller and eases into a procedural drama, and it happens effortlessly enough to get you acquainted with Japan’s grievances that were long-forgotten. As for Kurosawa, he masterfully layers social commentary on class and morality in between a plot so tightly woven, you don’t even see a double-cross staring right at you. Toshiro Mifune brings intensity as Gondo, and High and Low becomes one of the greatest thrillers of all time.
18 Howl’s Moving Castle (2004)
No surprise, we have a film by Hayao Miyazaki! Howl’s Moving Castle is an animated fantasy that follows Sophie, a young woman who is turned into an old woman by a witch’s spell. Sophie seeks to reverse the spell, and in her search for a cure, she enters the magical moving castle inhabited by a wizard named Howl. She does not just find refuge in the titular castle but also befriends Howl, his kind-hearted apprentice, and living scarecrow. The Studio Ghibli film is a dazzling feast for the senses. It features Miyazaki’s hand-drawn visuals, charming characters, and graceful flight sequences. Miyazaki has often expressed his absolute affection towards Howl’s because of its intoxicating sense of wonder, making it a timeless classic.
17 Battle Royale (2000)
Remember how The Hunger Games painted a dystopian world where children were sent to an isolated desert to fend for themselves, hunt, prey, and kill to come out victorious? Well, Battle Royale did it first. And in spectacular fashion. Kinji Fukasaku’s auditory classic throws a chilling twist on the same trope by pitting 42 junior high students against each other in a fight to the death.
Set in a futuristic Japan, the BR Act selects a random class to compete on an island with only one student surviving. They’re monitored with an explosive collar, which can blow off if they break a rule. Needless to say, the violence in the film goes to shocking extremes, but it serves to highlight the deeper questions about the role of authority and morality. Moreover, Battle Royale is fueled by a distinct youthful intensity and thrilling action sequences fighting in a society that is willing to sacrifice its own children for ‘the greater good.’
16 Gate of Hell (1953)
There have been many films about the madness associated with unrequited love, but none are as jarring and gorgeous as Gate of Hell. To name its accolades first, the movie received the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Costume Design back in 1955. Also, this masterpiece created by Teinosuke Kinugasa, was the first Japanese film in color. It follows a doomed love triangle set against the aesthetic lavishness of Heian-era Japan where a samurai, Moritoh Enda, heroically rescues Lady Kesa, a very beautiful woman who he ends up falling in love with.
However, Moritoh later realizes that Kesa is already married to Wataru Watanabe. He descends into sheer lunacy in the process of pursuing her. Gate of Hell has some of the most stunning sword fights, staged battle scenes, palaces, gardens, and elaborate kimonos shown in technicolor. Clearly, Japanese cinema has always had the tools to transform a tale of love into a work of haunting beauty.
15 Ran (1985)
Filmed during the aging days of his long career, Ran has that subtle undertone of a dying spirit as Kurosawa reimagines William Shakespeare’s King Lear in this bloody samurai epic made of betrayal, madness, and war. At seventy, Great Lord Hidetora Ichimonji divides his kingdom among his three sons. Being the eldest, Taro will rule; Jiro and Saburo, the younger ones, will take charge of Second and Third Castles. But greed and ambition turns them against their father and each other.
The whole drama around ruling is enhanced with grand battle scenes shot in lush and sweeping landscapes that transform the screen into a beautiful vista. Tatsuya Nakadai plays the troubled patriarch with power and despair, watching his castle crumble in front of his eyes. Perhaps Kurosawa’s greatest achievement was to win a nomination for Best Director.
14 Kingdom of Dreams and Madness (2013)
This one is different from other films on the list because it works as a behind-the-scenes documentary. But the reason it earns a place here is because of its fantastic depiction of Japanese culture. Kingdom of Dreams and Madness follows, quite intimately, Studio Ghibli during the arduous production of The Wind Rises and The Tale of the Princess Kaguya. We witness the genius, hard work, and gracious idiosyncrasies of the iconic animators Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata as they are drowned in their own vision while completing these ambitious films.
But the heart of the documentary lies in the lively and bustling studio itself. We watch as the group of wildly talented animators work alongside the legend himself and breathe life into his stories. Other honorable appearances are made by Toshio Suzuki, Hayao’s son Goro Miyazaki and Hideaki Anno, creator of the Evangelion franchise.
13 Tampopo (1985)
Japanese culture has the most mouthwatering food. So it is apparent that a classic comedy centered around food and, well, sex, in a way that is heartwarming but also ridiculous would be considered apt for the list. Juzo Itami’s whimsical Western, Tampopo, follows a group of men who help a widow revive her struggling ramen shop. The movie blends hilarious humor, meaningful drama, and erotic tension while making fun of American film tropes throughout and creating sequences around sexual taboos. At its heart, it may be an ode to the pleasures of simple things in life – food, friendship, and love. But with Itami’s direction, the result is a wildly imaginative story shot in sudden scenes that celebrate Japanese cuisine and the communal joy that comes from sharing a bowl of noodles.
12 Your Name (2016)
Makoto Shinkai’s blockbuster anime, Kimi no Na Wa, or Your Name, is a dramatic and compelling story of two teenagers who mysteriously wake up and realize their bodies have been swapped. Taki Tachibana is a city boy thriving in his mundane life and Mitsuha Miyamizu is a country girl content with her humble routine. Their different worlds collide when they are forced to live the other’s life for a period of time, being inexplicably connected in a love story beyond the understanding of time and space, the only way for Taki and Mitsuha to stop this is to meet for the first time. Your Name has gorgeous visuals and a soaring soundtrack to support the magical story about how destiny binds two souls and they find each other against all odds.
11 Harakiri (1962)
If you’re a fan of Quentin Tarantino’s movies where he uses a signature brand of violence and stylish action sequences (Read: Kill Bill), then you’re about to have your mind blown because Harakiri has better things in store. Kobayashi’s award-winning samurai drama centers around a ronin (a wandering, elder samurai) named Hanshiro, who petitions a feudal lord for permission to commit ritual suicide in his courtyard.
But as the story unfolds, through several flashbacks, we learn the disturbing truth behind Hanshiro’s quest for vengeance, and Chijiiwa, a young samurai who once visited the feudal lord. While traditional samurai movies focus on the art itself and the honor it demands, Harakiri exposes a moral rot at the heart of feudal Japan. Tatsuya Nakadai delivers a towering performance as the broken ronin, elevating the movie from a subtle drama to a captivating incision.
10 Shoplifters (2018)
Directed by Hirokazu Koreeda, this Palme d’Or winner charts the life of an impoverished yet loving makeshift family who make ends meet through petty crime. On one of his regular shoplifting sprees, Osamu finds Yuri, a little girl, freezing in the cold. He takes her home and learns the truth about her family, following which, he decides to make her a part of his own family. Shoplifters has a different setting than Koreeda’s former films like Our Little Sister, Maborosi, and Like Father, Like Son, but the central message is too gripping to ignore. It holds your heart in its hand and shows what it feels like to be tender and compassionate toward one another. Through quiet moments of joy and daily routines in a family living on the edge of society’s wealth margins, the movie keeps a light touch but delivers immense lessons.
9 Akira (1988)
Katsuhiro Otomo adapts his own sci-fi manga and transforms it into a groundbreaking cyberpunk anime movie that naturally became one of the most popular Japanese animation movies ever created. Akira follows teenager Tetsuo whose telekinetic powers begin to awaken and threaten Tokyo with chaos and destruction. On the other side is biker gang leader Kaneda, who is not only Tetsuo’s childhood friend but also someone with an alpha male complex who simply cannot stand being outsmarted or excelled by.
Tetsuo and Kaneda’s gory clash involves frenetic action and subversive political themes. Akira’s animation pushed every boundary ever drawn in the genre and created a new art form that depicts Neo-Tokyo, awash in neon signs and towering skyscrapers with a timeless aesthetic. From an examination of how power corrupts the mind to the fear of what unrestrained technology could turn into, the movie is a power-packed ride.
8 Grave of the Fireflies (1988)
Fun Fact: Grave of the Fireflies released on the same day as My Neighbour Totoro. And even though Isao Takahata is not as phenomenally acclaimed as Hayao Miyazaki, this emotional masterpiece speaks for itself. Chronicling the final days of World War II through the eyes of two siblings, Seita a teenager, and Setsuko, his younger sister, the film showcases the struggles of surviving in a country that was still reeling from the consequences of the biggest event in history. The siblings forage for food, seek shelter, and do their best to take care of each other after their home is destroyed in the firebombing of Kobe. The simple yet profound story is a testament to Takahata’s ability to inject every significant moment and gesture with towering emotion. Grave of the Fireflies honors the innocence of being a child and how it is easily shattered by the horrors of war.
7 Rashomon (1950)
Another classic by director Akira Kurosawa, Rashomon became the landmark for future psychological crime thrillers, and few have been able to meet the mark since. The premise is very exact: four people give contradictory accounts of a man’s murder and the rape of his wife. But the story, told through direct camera work and flashbacks is as frenetic as it is appalling.
Kurosawa deftly uses the method of nonlinear storytelling and shifting perspectives and brings forward the truth about human nature and their reliability on memory. With dramatic performances from Toshiro Mifune and Machiko Kyo, the movie has a plot filled with surprising twists and turns. But it’s true breakthrough lies in the fact that objective truth may not exist at all. Only subjective versions shaped by bias and self-interest make it out and about.
6 Tokyo Story (1953)
Steering the list to a rather dramatic direction by mentioning Tokyo Story is truly a relief. Directed by Yasujirō Ozu, the film tells the story of an aging couple who travel all the way from Onomichi to Tokyo to visit their grown children. Koichi, their eldest, is an accomplished doctor, and Shige, a thriving hairdresser, both of whom are too busy to spend time with their parents. So it falls to Noriko, her youngest son’s widow, to care for them.
The composition is subtle, the dialogue sparse, and the lates long and ordinary, but Ozu manages to depict the widening generational gap and changes that altered the shape of postwar Japan with the kind of jarring emotions that leave you numb and you don’t even realize it. With tenderness and warmth, we witness the scenes play out like poetry and the melancholia of families drifting apart adds and understated value to the whole premise.
5 Princess Mononoke (1997)
Set in the 14th century, Princess Mononoke is Miyazaki’s eco-fable that follows a young warrior and Emishi prince named Ashitaka as he collides with an industrializing world and the gods and spirits that dwell within the forest. Because the very foundation of their lifestyle is fractured, Ashitaka must broker peace between the human clan that is tirelessly building an iron town and the animal gods, led by Princess Mononoke, who are fighting against them to protect the forest.
Through stunning imagery, Miyazaki creates a riot of visual grandiosity and splendor. We see wonderful creatures like the demonic boar god and giant wolf gods and are transported to a world where they are struggling to live peacefully. But the distinguished part of the movie is the ecological parable he uses to raise questions on progress and preservation. Overall, Princess Mononoke is one of the greatest animated coming-of-age epics ever created.
4 Departures (2008)
In Departures, we follow a cellist named Daigo Kobayashi whose orchestra has recently disbanded and he has returned to his hometown with his wife to start fresh. Taking up a rather ominous job from an ad agency, Daigo begins working as an undertaker, preparing bodies for funeral rites. In the beginning, he faces prejudices for this new job but he soon brings a unique spirit to his role. Set in the countryside in Yamagata Prefecture, the film finds grace in quiet gestures as Daigo cleans and dresses the deceased with quiet tenderness. Director Yōjirō Takita imbues every scene with subtle emotion and transformative themes and extraordinary wit. It is no stunner that the film won an Academy Award Best International Feature Film back in 2009 because it teaches you to truly see one another.
3 Spirited Away (2001)
It would be a crime not to make multiple mentions of Hayao Miyazaki in a list of best Japanese movies because the legendary director has graced us with so many masterpieces. In Spirited Away, we follow Chihiro, a ten-year-old girl who is out with her parents and they end up visiting an abandoned amusement park. There, Chihiro enters the spirit world and finds that her parents have been transformed into pigs.
Trapped as an apprentice to a witch, she must find a way to free her parents and return home to the human world. Miyazaki conjures a fantasy land where spirits amuse themselves in their free time. There are wonders like the bathhouse and the faceless black blob No-Face. But ultimately, the film is about Chihiro and her journey of self-discovery. Even though she doesn’t remember a thing about the spirit world after getting out, Chihiro learns the true meaning of life’s purpose and love through helping others.
2 Seven Samurai (1954)
Seven Samurai is an epic film that centers on a village that hires seven unemployed samurai to defend them and their home against bandits. As the samurai protect and train the people of the village, it is attacked by 40 bandits. If this was a ranking, Akira Kurosawa’s movie probably would take the first place because what follows is not just a story of action and adventure, but an in-depth exploration of the damage caused on human conscience and actions due to power. Kurosawa is a master at weaving complex themes like class and honor and the pressing burden of leadership into an overflowing tapestry of action sequences, vivid characters, and rich visuals. Led by Toshiro Mifune, the ensemble cast of warriors each have their own pasts and desires. Overall, Seven Samurai is one of those movies that despite having a two and a half hour runtime seem breezy and engrossing and worth every minute.
1 Drive My Car (2021)
Winner of the Best International Feature Film and loosely inspired by Haruki Murakami’s collection Men Without Women and his other short stories, Drive My Car is a stunning film that explores themes of loss, infidelity, forgiveness, and the power of human connection. It follows Yusuke Kafuku, a widowed actor-director, arriving at Hiroshima for the production of a play titled ‘Uncle Vanya’ but in the process develops a revealing relationship with his young female chauffeur. As they spend time in his car, traveling between rehearsals, they share stories about their painful pasts.
Now, if the same plot was given to another director, they’d probably turn it into something sweet and formulaic. But Ryusuke Hamaguchi creates a subtle nuance that transcends in the spaces between words, in the long silence, and the close-up shots, and the vivid sensory details. Two personal takeaways? When a movie drops the opening credits after 40 minutes, you know it’s going to be good. And the 2-door red Saab is one of the best movie cars ever seen in cinema.

Acclaimed Directors & Their Perfect Comic-Book Movie Match
Which comic characters were some of the greatest directors ever born to helm? Find out here
Ever wanted any of the legends to take over a comic-book movie for a change? This article is for you. Before I start I'd like to point out the hypotheticals here. These nominees/selections are going by the assumption that these directors would get to 1) have full creative control and choose their own team to create the film. 2) Would or wouldn't have to work under the confides of a cinematic universe (whichever would work best for the situation)...and 3) That they would actually take the gig and take it seriously (of course). Kinda funny I feel the need to point that out considering it's hard to imagine studio execs intervening with a GOAT's work anyway. Without further ado....
Quentin Tarantino - "Luke Cage"
Luke Cage is a prominent, and one of the first black heroes in comics that got his start back in the 70s as "Power-Man". He gained the abilities of unbreakable/bullet-proof skin and super strength after being wrongfully imprisoned for a crime someone else did.
Cage's popularity rose in a time where blaxploitation was the dominant wave of cinema. His character is a direct reflection of that. Tarantino is a guy who grew up loving blaxploitation films and has played around with the genre pretty well in the movies Jackie Brown and Django Unchained. A throwback style, neo-blaxplo starring Luke Cage would be an EXTREMELY fun movie.
Other than this being a great fit for him conceptually, he would bring a hell of a lot to the table skill-wise. For one ANY Tarantino movie will indeed be highly stylized, aesthetically pleasing, with trademark QT things, which would make "Luke Cage" one of the most unique CBMs we'd ever see. Imagine with Tarantino's knack for creative action (which I feel is one of his most underrated aspects) what he could do with bullet-proof buff ass Cage. This movie would be an absolute thrill-ride from start to finish
Robert Rodriguez - "The Flash"
Rodriguez, like Tarantino, is a director with a very unique style. He's also a frequent collaborator of Tarantino. The guy is known for his visual style and fun..adventurous ideas.
The Flash can be a very fun character if used properly. And comedic, another aspect Rodriguez isn't foreign to. It would be pretty damn interesting to see what he'd do with The Flash visual effects on screen, looking at what he's done with other movies. He'd certainly put Flash in the wildest and most creative of scenarios. And hey, if WB ever needed or wanted to have a movie that would appeal to all audiences (including kids)...here's your guy.
JJ Abrams - "Green Lantern Corps"
Green Lantern Corps...the INTERGALACTIC police force of the DC universe.
JJ as far as it comes with cinema...between the Star Trek and now Star Wars movies....basically lives in space. Tackling a GL Corps movie would essentially be a walk in the park for him, and he'd probably have a hell of a lot of fun directing it too. Tuned visually to his style, and MAINLY, the biggest contribution : his talent with crafting action sequences. And in a GL movie (which we still haven't had a good live action adaptation of) that's gold.
What would've made it even more of a perfect match is even Chris Pine were actually cast as Hal Jordan
Steven Spielberg - "Black Panther"
Black Panther, the king of Wakanda, the afrofuturistic, most technologically advanced nation of special tribal warriors.
Look Spielberg's the man. Truth be told you could make the case for nearly any comic book character he'd be a good fit for because he's simply that great. He's probably the most complete filmmaker in history. But beyond that, BP I feel is a great character for him to handle. One of the most gritty, serious, action-packed, adventurous, and global heroes Marvel has. When you look at what Spielberg did with Saving Private Ryan (or really any of his movies) for instance, you can imagine the greatness he'd bring to a Black Panther war flick. Picture Latveria vs Wakanda in a DoomWar adaptation, directed by Spielberg.
And sure, a good amount of this pick is subjective, being that BP is my fav comic character and Spielberg one of my favorite directors ever...but I do also believe this is a perfect match for him. he's handled tribes in the Indiana Jones flicks, he's made great war movies, and so many classic adventure flicks. T'challa comes with all of this wrapped into one.
The Coen Brothers - "Jonah Hex"
If WB for whatever wild reason ever ever decided to for whatever reboot Jonah Hex....these guys could make it make it more than worth watching. The first Jonah Hex was a complete failure critically and financially...but the Coen Brothers? These guys are amazing! Particularly with westerns (see No Country For Old Men or True Grit.
If I had to guess which comic character they'd choose to make a movie out of...I'd say this guy
Spike Lee - "Jessica Jones'', Miles Morales
If Spike were to take on any CBM, an NY-centered, crime/detective drama would be right up his alley. Which is exactly what Jessica Jones is. Of course Spike's known for address rel="nofollow" target="_blank"ing societal issues such as racism in his movies...a modern (but subtle) take on racism today through the character of Miles Morales could potentially be something special. Of course it'll never happen, but remember....this is simply what would be a perfect match for THESE particular directors.
Martin Scorcese - "The Punisher"
The Punisher is one of the grittiest and most brutal "heroes" in all of comics. Scorcese is probably the GOAT gangster/mafia filmmaker. You add 2 and 2.
Peter Jackson- "Thor: Ragnarok"
Peter Jackson, the king of fantasy (also the guy that doesn't know how to cut anything out of his movies lol) Jackson obviously has handled fantasy characters such as with Thor's mythos in the Lord of the Rings trilogy which was outstanding. Including the cinematography. So what would logically be the perfect CBM match for this man?
Marvel has nailed the Thor CHARACTER itself essentially down to a tee...but they have yet to develop a GREAT or even "really good" thor movie. Peter Jackson would certainly be tha man to do it. Properly.
Ridley Scott - "Martian Manhunter", "Aquaman"
Martian Manhunter is an original Justice League member and one of my favorite comic characters ever. Very weird, very obscure, but very powerful (with a sick name too). He was beamed from Mars to Earth accidentally..and eventually became a protector of it. A genre-flick starring the Manhunter could be something special.
So then when you consdier one of the best genre-transceding directors ever (Ridley Scott), there you have a match. The thing I admire most about Scott is his ability to adapt to different settings/environments, and engage the audience thoroughly in these environments. Which is why I also feel "Aquaman" would be great for him. He effortlessly shifts genres and styles almost on a Kubrick level. for example...going from the horror flick Alien to the neo-noir Blade Runner, historical drama Gladiator, and crime drama American Gangster. I'd absolutely love to see what he'd do with Atlantis
Brad Bird - S.H.I.E.L.D. SPY FLICK STARRING BLACK WIDOW, HAWKEYE, AND NICK FURY
Brad Bird is remarkable with ensembles, whether it be animation or live action. Seeing what he did with Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol : how stylistically brilliant, how sharply coordinated the action was, how FUN the movie was...all the while nailing the essentials of a spy movie, I feel he could do wonders with an MCU S.H.I.E.L.D movie starring Widow, Fury, and Hawkeye, Hill, etc. With all those cool characters that are already established and that we've come to know pretty well, the movie would be kick-ass thrilling.
Alright, that's it!!! I appreciate you reading if you stuck it out all the way through, oh and as a bonus, I'd like to ask which great director who hasn't helmed a CBM do you think would make a great match for a Justice League movie?
Let me know what you think down below, LIKE, talk shit, do what you gotta do haha. Let's talk. And again...

12" vinyl re-mastered at abbey road, housed in a triple panel card package with historical notes and a mini documentary on the album. directed by bob smeaton, the documentary is included as quicktime files on each album. it contains archival footage, rare photographs and never-before-heard studio chat from the beatles, offering a unique and very personal insight into the studio atmosphere. though some might argue that the beatles' unprecedented evolution from british invasion pin-ups to pop music visionaries began with 'beatles for sale', 'rubber soul' is without a doubt the first album to definitively put the fab four in the running for greatest band ever. virtually every aspect of the liverpool quartet's incredibly diverse sound is in evidence here: the dark, irony-filled dylanism ('norwegian wood,' 'nowhere man'), pop perfection ('in my life'), the passion for classic tin pan alley balladry ('girl,' 'michelle'), and the love of good 'ol rock and roll music ('drive my car').
Peppered with nasty fuzz bass, exotic sitar, cartoonishly sped-up piano that sounds like harpsichord, and elements of country, motown, and classical music, the album reveals a creative scope and willingness to experiment so revolutionary it can now only be termed beatlesque. though the fabs don't go as far out on a limb here as on the more overtly experimental 'revolver', 'rubber soul' is perhaps the beatles' most finely crafted and accessible work, and consequently many fans' and critics' favourite.

J.J. Abrams says he is now completely focused on 'Star Trek 2' and is ready to put all his effort into making the highly-anticipated sequel.
J.J. Abrams says he is now completely focused on 'Star Trek 2'.
The highly-anticipated sequel has had its release date pushed back from summer 2012 because of a number of factors - including Abrams working on other films such as 'Super 8' - and the director has revealed he is now ready to put all his effort into making the film.
He told Collider.com: "There have been a lot of things that we've been working on, a lot of important elements that we just know we need to really nail down and solve. Once you say, 'We're ready to go, but we don't have a finished script yet,' or 'I'm directing the thing and here's the release date, but we don't have a finished script' what starts to happen - and I've seen this happen with a lot of friends of mine - is that you're suddenly in production on a movie that they're thinking, 'Oh my god, we weren't really ready. We thought we'd get it done in time, but we didn't.' So, while we have a moment to say, 'Let's get the important things figured out,' then all the pre-production stuff will come.
"But, I just want to make sure that we're putting the story and the characters, the cast and the crew, and most importantly the audience, first before we start talking about exactly which locations we're going to be shooting at and what the wardrobe and visual effects budgets are. It just seems important that we get the important stuff right first."
The film - starring Chris Pine as Captain Kirk - was initially planned to come out in summer 2012 is now believed to be pushed back until at least December of the same year.

Skeletal Jumps and Rainbow Balloons: A Superhero Zombie and Monster Match!
It was a beautiful day when the zombie and the monster decided to have some fun. They found a grassy hill near a lake and began to jump on each other's heads like skeletons. As they played they laughed and giggled, making sure not to hurt each other in any way.
After jumping around for a while, they decided to play matching games. The zombie found some colourful rocks while the monster brought out a bag of brightly coloured buttons. They took turns picking up rocks and matching them with buttons of the same colour until no more could be found.
With no more matching games left to play, the zombie and monster moved onto balloons! The two of them blew up some rainbow-coloured balloons and began playing catch with them, chasing each other around the hill until they were all popped.
Suddenly, there was an unexpected visitor! Spider-Man appeared from nowhere with his webs! He challenged the zombie and monster to a game of web-ball and so together they created two teams - one for each side of the hill - and headed off for some thrilling fun!
Even though Spider-Man was faster than both of them, he was also very generous with his powers and would often let both sides have equal chances at winning the game. But no matter how hard they tried neither team could get ahead as it seemed that luck didn't always favour the brave (or in this case, brave monsters).
Tired but happy after playing such an amazing game, Zombie and Monster thanked Spider-Man for his help before he flew away into the night sky carrying his webs behind him like a cape in the wind...and then all that remained were two exhausted but very content friends who had just enjoyed one wild adventure together!
"Wow, that was amazing!" said Zombie as he lay down on the grassy hill near the lake to catch his breath "I'm exhausted but it sure was fun!"
"It sure was" agreed Monster as he lay down beside him "So...what do you think we should do now?"
"Well," said Zombie with a smile on his face "I think it's time for us to get back home". So with that, both Zombie and Monster made their way back home after what had been an incredibly eventful day - one neither would ever forget!
That night both Zombie and Monster settled into bed after such an exhilarating adventure full of laughter, joyous games, super heroes...and lots of rainbow-coloured balloons!

Who is john witherspoon dating
In his childhood days, he did occasional work as a model.
Since the 1960s, he began his interest towards comedy.
Lauren, a woman also looking for a guy sees Tuck's profile and goes with him. Editing was horrible, the entire opening looked like a trailer and the later scenes I was screaming "CUT! Acting is solid through out the movie although the movie really just centres around FDR and Laurens relationship because Tuck and her don't have any chemistry really. four fights, they use shaky cam and you cant tell what was happening, for some reason when FDR and Tuck fight its really short and Tuck takes most of the hits.
She later bumps into Frank and he hits on her and she goes out with him. When they learn that they're dating the same girl, they agree to let her choose. There are a few good scenes in the movie but I didn't laugh that much apart from Tucks date scene that I found amusing as he guns down teenagers and man-handles others in a paint ball game.
His comedian career played as a bridge into his acting role.

Nintendo UK recently spoke with Christian Stewart of Cardboard Robot Games to discuss the upcoming Switch release of Pocket Rumble. In this interview, he shares the inspiration behind the style of game, some of the game mechanics present and comparisons of the Joy-Con to the original Neo Geo Pocket Color.
Below, you can read a brief excerpt on the inspiration behind the game, but you find the entire interview on the Nintendo UK website.
Nintendo UK: What inspired you to make a fighting game in the style of a Neo Geo Pocket Color title?
Christian Stewart: Two buttons was a big, big thing about Neo Geo Pocket. Somehow SNK got really complex, complicated fighting games that felt close to the Neo Geo arcade games in portable format, with two buttons. There was some magic there that we wanted to replicate in which we could make a game that has only two buttons, but still have the complexity that something like Street Fighter, with six buttons, could have.
NUK: Going back to the Neo Geo inspiration, we've talked about the controls, but there's also the nostalgic graphics. What were the challenges of creating a game in that art style?
CS: The resolution of those sprites is very, very small. It is very hard to convey certain things. Subtle nuances are very difficult to convey at such a small resolution. It's absolutely worth it, because I think the Neo Geo aesthetic on top of the nostalgia just complements what the game is trying to do very well.
We're trying to get rid of a lot of executional barriers and keeping things to their bare fundamentals, but those fundamentals are still very complex because they're the inherent mechanics of 2D fighting games.
We're simplifying as much as we can. So those simple, lower resolution graphics and limited colour palettes work really well with how much we're focussing on the core combat mechanics.
NUK: Is there anything else you'd like to mention?
CS: Well, just the fact that the Joy-Con ends up feeling a lot like a Neo Geo Pocket Color, because you've got that analogue stick and the two buttons on the side. There are a few more buttons on the Joy-Con, but you can play it exactly like you did on the Neo Geo Pocket Color. The analogue stick feels somewhat similar to the digital stick on the NGPC and that's kind of cool.
Are you excited for the Nintendo Switch release of Pocket Rumble?

After over a decade over recording his music as part of Warner Bros. Records, Eric Benet has left the label to release his next project independently on his own label.
“It’s always been a dream of mine to release something independently and have my own label. I saw an opportunity earlier this year when Warner Brothers was going through its situation it was going through”, Eric told YouKnowIGotSoul. “I kinda asked if they would graciously let me out of my contract at that point. *Laughs* I’m very happy that they did.”
Additionally, Eric went on to discuss what differences he expected to encounter with his first release on an indie label:
“I feel like the major difference this time around is the joy of freedom. The joy of ownership. The energy that infuses into the creative process and basically the whole campaign of the album itself. Being at a major record company, it’s always a situation where you’re in competition with all of the other artists that are there. No matter how much you love them and no matter how much camaraderie is there, there’s only so much financial backing that can go around to support everybody. Everybody is jumping up and down kinda being like ‘Me, me, me , me, me!!!’ and this time around having my own label it’s so incredibly liberating just a powerful feeling that I’m calling the shots. This is my situation. To make it ever better, at the end of the day, I’m going to own the masters instead of the record labels. You can imagine that just infuses so much energy into the process.”
You can expect Eric’s new currently untitled album in the Spring of 2012 which is led by the first single “Real Love”.

Lady Gaga is laying it out all on the line in the name of song.
It's been years since the the six-time Grammy winner released a studio album, leaving fans eagerly waiting to get their hands on a new melody from Mother Monster.
While she's been able to tide over audiences with her Oscar-nominated ballad "Til It Happens to You," written for the campus rape documentary The Hunting Ground, Gaga has been busy earning a Golden Globe for her leading role on American Horror Story: Hotel.
Friday marked her grand return to the airwaves when she released her newest single, "Perfect Illusion," a track packed with a rock punch. Despite the relatively new sound for the pop star, it still has a pulsing dance beat to get you in the mood to groove. It even gets Gaga's heart pumping when it's on.
"The song is about modern ecstasy," Gaga described the track at the iHeartRadio Music Summit in August. "We found our sweet, simple, ragey way of saying it... I get this sick adrenaline rush every time I hear it."

“The Eternals” Movie Review
It is called “Eternals” because it feels like it goes on for an eternity.
“Eternals” is the newest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is directed by Chloé Zhao.
Zhao, the most recent Oscar winner for best director, creates a visual spectacle with “Eternals.”
The CGI in “Eternals” is arguably the best Marvel has ever done. With a very large cast all varying in powers, it was a sight to see them fight in massive CGI battles or even the subtle smoothness of turning a rock into water.
Or, the visual sights of the villains called Deviants. Deviants are giant CGI monsters, but they looked very real and very intimidating.
Another CGI race were the Celestials. Celestials are giant aliens that create galaxies, and it is insane to see an animated alien on that grand of a scale.
The biggest visual masterpiece was oddly the weather and nature. How all the Eternals played with nature and affected it, it just flowed so well that it was breathtaking to see.
There is one scene of a Celestial explaining the creation of galaxies to an Eternal - how the scene transitioned through space was a sight to see.
Besides the visual wonders, the movie successfully handled one of Marvel’s largest casts of characters. Marvel managed to carry emotional depth and development to most of the new heroes.
The focus of the cast is the new leader of Eternals - Gemma Chan’s Sersi and the strongest member Ikaris played by Richard Madden. They both had a deep love connection played throughout the film and had conflicting goals. They both carried the emotional depth of the film the best.
Sprite, played by Lia McHugh, showed the struggles of a person who can never grow up.
Angelina Jolie’s Thena, Salma Hayek’s Ajak and Barry Keoghan’s Druig shows conflicts in oneself, whether it’s the battle of changing morals and goals or just battling their inner demons.
The two standout comedic characters were Kumail Nanjiani’s Kingo and Kingo’s valet, Karun, played by Harish Patel. Kingo is a Bollywood movie star, an Eternal who was making a documentary of the Eternals with his valet Karun.
Those two with their bond and recording every little thing brought the classic sense of Marvel humor to the film. Yet, they had one flaw: the movie made them sit out in the final act and it was very disappointing to see them leave right before the final battle.
Ma Dong-Seok’s Gilgamesh is the powerhouse of the Eternals. He surprisingly carried a lot of depth as the protector of Thena and had some of the movie’s funniest moments as well.
Bryan Tyree Henry’s Phastos is marvel’s first gay superhero, and he is also one of the most entertaining Eternals. His character had a lot of depth with the struggle of wanting to provide technological advancements for the world but cannot and has some very comedic scenes whenever the other Eternals try to interact with his seemingly normal life.
Although the character development was strong with most characters in the film, there were some left in the dust and did not receive as much love as previously mentioned characters.
The only Eternal without a lot of development was the deaf, speedster Makkari played by Lauren Ridloff. She has a little development with the love connection of her and Druig, but other than the beginning she isn’t in the film again until the final act. She is highly underutilized in the film.
Then there is Game of Thrones actor Kit Harington playing Dane Whitman, who many “Marvel” and “GOT” fans looked forward to seeing but is only in the film for 10 minutes. But when he is in the film he shines, and his post credit scene sets up an exciting adventure for him.
Lastly, the main Deviant, played by Bill Skarsgård, was hardly in the film. His villain has basically no connection to the audience, and he does pose a threat but is quickly overtaken. His Deviant is apparently named Kro, but it is easily never heard in the film. Kro is one of the most forgettable Marvel villains.
For the most part, the character development was above and beyond besides those three. The issue with the movie is the lack of character development in some areas caused the plot to suffer.
The plot was an alright one of the Eternals trying to come together and through twists and turns save the world from Deviants and a space threat. But the issue is - without getting into spoilers - that the movie was a very slow one, and mature one. The movie didn’t feel like a Marvel movie.
For years people wanted Marvel movies to do something different and this is the one that did it. The issue was that the movie felt too different.
There was a very mature plot and mature scenes, including Marvel’s first sex scene which felt very uncomfortable to see even if it was to prove the love of two characters.
The plot is also very important to Marvel, but for any newcomers and children seeing the film they would either leave the movie confused or bored, especially in the beginning when it was just arguing and moral debates.
It is Marvel’s second longest movie, and it feels like it. With the confusing plot and many moral debates, the movie can be a snooze fest while waiting for the next fight scene or even a slight joke that Marvel is known for.
“Eternals” may be a visual spectacle with some great, new characters, but it strayed too far from the Marvel roots and felt too long with its confusing and arguably boring plot.
Rating: 2/5 stars

Why review new movies when there are so many forgotten or distant memory gems? I have Amazon Prime and I'm going to watch even the dregs, because darn it, I paid my money and I'm getting entertained.
If you thought "Interview with the Vampire" was a campy and insane vampire movie, put on your seat belt because "The Hunger" beat it there by a solid decade. I don't, I don't even know where to begin.
Well, there are these vampires, played by David Bowie and Catherine Deneuve. Catherine Deneuve looks like she couldn't possibly be more disinterested in this movie. So to compensate, David Bowie acts the HECK out of his character. He's acting so hard, you can taste it.
Oh, and they're not normal vampires, they're ancient Egyptian vampires (because, obviously), or maybe just Catherine Deneuve is. David Bowie might be french. There are some flashbacks that appear to come from a more interesting movie that kind of hint at that.
David Bowie is dying (or whatever), so halfway through he turns into an old man that Catherine Deneuve burys alive in her attic. When he's being locked away, he apparently pees his pants, for added realism.
There's still a lot of movie left, so Catherine Deneuve starts talking to Susan Sarandon. The movie wants you to believe that she's in love with her. But either the Catherine Deneuve couldn't muster the enthusiasm, or in a more complex move, her character was a good actress, and was hiding her love (that's it).
At some point Susan Sarandon asks Catherine Deneuve if she's trying to seduce her. If you are awake at this point in the movie, you will be asking the same question, because it is not obvious. Thus follows a "love" scene populated by people who obviously want to be as far away from each other as possible. Lots of arms get kissed. It is the least erotic thing ever.
SPOILER ALERT, but who am I kidding, you're not going to watch this train wreck.
At this point you watch Susan Sarandon NOT EAT DINNER. It's as riveting as it sounds.
The director realizes this movie is a sinking ship. It's no longer a vampire movie, it's zombies. David Bowie is the lead zombie. He leads all the other imprisoned vampire/zombie/old people in attacking Catherine Deveuve.
Are you asking what could possibly kill a 3000 year old egyptian vampire? Well I'm hoping you said a trip down the stairs, because that's all it takes. One would think she would have invested in a ranch instead of a 50 story home but I digress.
That's about it. Did I mention that the whole movie was wrapped in gauze? Because it was. Every set in every scene was practically made of gauze. I must have meant something (the entire budget was spent on gauze).
Anyway, Happy Halloween. This is a perfectly acceptable Halloween movie. I'm sure there are other terrible vampire/zombie movies you could waste time on, but make it this one. You won't be sorry.
To David Bowie, who doesn't read my blog: I'm sorry. You tried. (Were you wearing a wig?) Maybe just focus on all the awesome stuff you did. Labyrinth was great! I liked The Man who Fell to Earth. So, there you go.

American actor Matt Dillon premieres his documentary about the life of Cuban singer, entertainer and musician “El Gran Fellove”
With the documentary “El gran Fellove” American actor Matt Dillon, famous for his performances in movies such as “Drugstore Cowboy” or “There’s something about Mary”, recently made his directorial debut at the Morelia Film Festival (FICM), after having presented it in San Sebastián.
“In Morelia, it will be like a homecoming from the movie because where it all really began was in Mexico for Fellove, that’s where they nicknamed as ‘El Gran Fellove’, and by the end of his life he was a Mexican citizen and all Cubans who live in our country agree that Mexico is a land of promise.
For him, Mexico was his home so we are going to bring this film back to his home, ” Matt Dillon told the Latin American media.
The project, which deals with the life of the Cuban musician, discovered by Dillon in the late 90s in a vinyl store in Havana, includes the American producer Jonathan Gray and the Mexican Carlos Sosa and Cristina Velasco.
El Gran Fellove is a documentary film from actor and filmmaker Matt Dillon, that chronicles the musical career of Cuban scat singer and showman Francisco Fellove and the recording of his last album. Through a series of interviews, archival photos and videos, as well as Matt’s own footage, the film recounts Fellove’s life as a struggling musician in Cuba, his eventual success in Mexico, and the contagious love he had for music until the very end.

Sorry, Emily Deschanel.
We like Bones as much as the next website, but we don't have a lot of confidence about your chances in this Fashion Face-Off.
The star of that Fox hit was spotted out recently in an outfit that shows her affection for leopards. Incredibly, this same shirt was worn a few days later by Megan Fox.
The odds of that happening are about as low as the odds of readers voting for Deschanel over Fox, but, hey, you never know! Check out the stars below and then answer our poll question:
Who wears this outfit better?

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
This is my second Tales game and I'm still very impressed! I find myself looking more forward to Tales of Xillia than FF15... or whatever they want to call it (don't get me wrong I will still buy them and still very much enjoy them). The story is very engaging and I love the Voice Acting(also the fact that they literally voice out just about the whole game). If you are an avid fan of JRPG's.....go get it....now!

A powerful portrait of a legendary musician by a legendary photographer
Carefully curated with full access to the Jim Marshall Archive, this powerful oversize volume offers the definitive view of Johnny Cash's prison concerts at Folsom in 1968 and San Quentin in 1969. Jim Marshall was the only official photographer present, and was granted unlimited access.
Backed by June Carter, Carl Perkins and the Tennessee Three, Cash performed two shows at Folsom. The resulting album was a hit in the United States, and reached number one on the country charts and the top 15 of the national album chart. Its popularity revitalized Cash's career and led to a follow-up album, At San Quentin, the following year. San Quentin became Cash's first album to hit number one on the pop charts and both it and its predecessor remain two of the biggest-selling live albums of all time.
From rehearsing with the band, to arriving off the bus outside the imposing prison walls, to shaking hands with prisoners and performing until sweat dripped down his forehead, Marshall captured the passion, authority and intimacy of Cash's legendary penitentiary performances. His "JC Flippin' the Bird at San Quentin Prison" has become one of the most iconic and most-copied photographs of the 20th century, a result of Marshall asking Cash to express what he thought about the prison authorities: "John, let's do a shot for the warden."
Johnny Cash was one of Jim Marshall's favorite subjects, something that is evident in his Folsom and San Quentin photographs. This body of work showcases some of the most arresting photographs of the country music star ever taken.
Every now and then, a song inspires a cultural conversation that ends up looking like a brawl. Merle Haggard's Okie from Muskogee, released in 1969, is a prime example of that important role of popular music. Okie immediately helped to frame an ongoing discussion about region and class, pride and politics, culture and counterculture. But the conversation around the song, useful as it was, drowned out the song itself, not to mention the other songs on the live album-named for Okie and performed in Muskogee-that Haggard has carefully chosen to frame what has turned out to be his most famous song. What are the internal clues for gleaning the intended meaning of Okie? What is the pay-off of the anti-fandom that Okie sparked (and continues to spark) in some quarters? How has the song come to be a shorthand for expressing all manner of anti-working class attitudes? What was Haggard's artistic path to that stage in Oklahoma, and how did he come to shape the industry so profoundly at the moment when urban country singers were playing a major role on the American social and political landscape?
Graced by more than 200 illustrations, many of them seldom seen and some never before published, this sparkling volume offers vivid portraits of the men and women who created country music, the artists whose lives and songs formed the rich tradition from which so many others have drawn inspiration. Included here are not only such major figures as Jimmie Rodgers, The Carter Family, Fiddlin' John Carson, Charlie Poole, and Gene Autry, who put country music on America's cultural map, but many fascinating lesser-known figures as well, such as Carson Robison, Otto Gray, Chris Bouchillon, Emry Arthur and dozens more, many of whose stories are told here for the first time. To map some of the winding, untraveled roads that connect today's music to its ancestors, Tony Russell draws upon new research and rare source material, such as contemporary newspaper reports and magazine articles, internet genealogy sites, and his own interviews with the musicians or their families. The result is a lively mix of colorful tales and anecdotes, priceless contemporary accounts of performances, illuminating social and historical context, and well-grounded critical judgment. The illustrations include artist photographs, record labels, song sheets, newspaper clippings, cartoons, and magazine covers, recreating the look and feel of the entire culture of country music. Each essay includes as well a playlist of recommended and currently available recordings for each artist. Finally, the paperback edition now features an extensive index.
Johnny Cash remains one of the most recognizable artists in the world. Starting in 1956, he released an album every year until his death in 2003. In addition to these albums, there were also some posthumous releases in the years after his death. From rockabilly to country, folk to comedy, gospel to classical, the prolific Cash touched them all. His hit singles crossed over from country to pop, as he transcended genres and became a superstar around the globe. Cash skyrocketed from the beginning, flying through the '60s until he was one of the country's biggest stars by the end of the decade. Following his own muse through the '70s, Cash slowly faded commercially until he nearly disappeared in the '80s. Instead of giving up, he made an incredible late-career run in the '90s that took him into the new millennium, along the way collaborating with various contemporary rock and pop artists. His offstage problems often overshadowed the music, and his addiction often takes center stage in the story, pushing the music off the page. But Johnny Cash FAQ celebrates the musical genius of Cash and takes a look at every album Cash released, the stories behind the hits, and how he sustained a fantastic nearly 50-year career.
The first major biography of the Carter family follows the musical pioneers who almost single-handedly established the sound and traditions that grew into folk, country, and bluegrass music--a style most recently popularized in the George Clooney hit movie O Brother, Where Art Thou? of photos.
In a brief and brilliant career that lasted barely seven years, Jimmie Rodgers reigned as one of America's first music superstars. From the summer of 1927, when he made his initial recordings with Ralph Peer in Bristol, Tennessee, to May 1933, when, fighting tuberculosis, he cut his last records in New York City, Rodgers created a string of hits that define American music. Blending white country, black blues, Tin Pan Alley song, traditional ballads and his signature yodels, he captured the spirit and sound of his generation while heralding the musical styles and genres that would prevail long after his death,
This book grows from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's American Music Masters Series, which honored Rodgers in aweek of events focused on his life and legacy. With contributions from a range of scholars, critics, and musical artists, it offers new perspectives on Rodgers, his music, and his influence, bringing "America's Blue Yodeler" and his uniquely American gifts into fresh relief.

I understand what they wanted to portray in this film but this was the stupidest film I have ever seen. What the! The concept was amazing, the execution was flawed beyond belief. I can even think of what could have saved this film. If I were you I’d stay far away from seeing this film.

Kristen Stewart has revealed she is taking a break from acting to step behind the camera for the next few months and work on a short film on the power of women.
Speaking at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, Stewart said, “I just did like five movies over a two-year period, and I think it’s a very good decision for me right now to stop acting in movies for just a moment, and I’ve never really done that, I’ve never changed my appearance. I’ve always really stayed neutral since I was like 10 years old, so I was like, ‘I’m gonna direct a short, and I’m gonna mess up my hair’.”

Greak: Memories of Azur is a story about family set against the classic backdrop of cute good guys versus ugly bad guys. The good guys (the Courine; cute Elven-Hobbitish creatures) have established peace and harmony in Azur but the bad guys (the Urlag; Slimey, hairy and insectoid abominations) want to drive the Courine to extinction and bring chaos to Azur. Unfortunately, the Urlag have the upper hand, which has driven the Courine into hiding. Greak, separated by his sister Adara and big brother Raydel, must journey across the perilous lands of Azur to reunite with his lost siblings and aid the remaining Courine population with destroying the Urlag once and for all.
And much like the struggle between the Courine and the Urlag, Greak: Memories of Azur is always at odds with itself. It feeds you with one hand but then robs you with the other, and it all boils down to its central game mechanic. At its core Greak: MoA is about controlling three distinct characters to solve puzzles and fight bosses. You start off with the titular hero Greak who is small, nimble and brave beyond his physical capacity. Soon, you partner up with your sister Adara. She’s the weakest of the siblings but she possesses ranged magical abilities, levitation and excels at diving. Later on you complete the trio when you team up with Raydel. He’s a superb warrior with advanced fighting skills and comes equipped with a shield and a hookshot. The problem is, the environmental puzzle solving is expertly crafted but the boss fights are at the complete opposite end of the spectrum. It’s as if the game has been designed by two separate teams: one with an expert knowledge in puzzle creation and world design, and another team that were burdened with the weight of creating interesting boss encounters but chose not to bother.
The emphasis is obviously on juggling all three characters and using all their unique skills to traverse various locales and to solve numerous environmental puzzles – and it excels at this! It really does! I can’t fault Greak: MoA for this. The level design is creative and original. The environmental puzzles are fun to solve. It’s just disappointing the synchronicity hasn’t been carried over to the boss encounters. Its approach to combat scenarios is flawed from the ground up, and here’s why:
- Bosses have large health bars, most likely inspired by Dark Souls, and because the Courine are weak (especially Greak and Adara), this makes boss fights laborious and uninteresting
- Healing items have cooldown periods before they reward you with health points, which is detrimental when you’re trying to keep more than one character alive and out of harm’s way
- You can only accurately control one character at a time, which is problematic when the other characters become sitting ducks – when one of the characters die it’s Game Over
- The AI is terrible when left to its own devices, so even when you’re controlling more than one character at a time, the tag-alongs following your selected ‘main’ character are essentially useless bodies for you to escort around the stage
All of these choices chained together results in an unpleasant experience. They might work in a Souls-like where it becomes part of the genres bedrock but Greak: MoA doesn’t have the room, simplicity or fluidity to successfully pull it off. The difficulty and the somewhat-impossible expectation of controlling more than one character at a time during boss encounters is what ruins an otherwise polished and wonderful gem. It feels so reliant on co-op that I was convinced it was a multilayer game but I assure you it’s not (I checked), which frustrates me even more because the disparity turns this beautiful game into a broken one.
Greak: Memories of Azur does a lot of things right but the disparity between its puzzle-solving and its boss encounters is too large to ignore. At times it felt like a homage to Legend of Zelda, The Dark Crystal and countless anime I watched as a child, and it is without a doubt an underdog story. Yet the inner turmoil it made me feel during boss fights felt almost like a betrayal, and I can’t shake the feeling it was a disservice to the game. It is for that reason I cannot recommend it.

- Extraterrestrial memory: Children can draw or print cards with pictures of extraterrestrials and play memory trying to find the pairs.
- Capture the extraterrestrial flag: Divide the children into two teams and create two “flags” using different colored cloths. Place the flags in different places in the play area.

Having just come off of reviewing
Spider-Man: Friend or Foe for the Xbox 360, I somewhat feared jumping right into playing this PSP version. I worried that everything I disliked about the console game would be made worse in this portable port, especially when it came to the graphics and extra modes. But I fought through my fears and tossed in the UMD of Friend or Foe and was surprised that this is not the same game I just played on Microsoft's next generation console. While it's true that both games are 3D brawlers and share the same story, the way the two versions go about handling the material is very different. That doesn't mean that one is better than the other, it's just that the two games are very different beasts.
Perhaps this has more to do with the fact that there are two completely different developers handling the two versions. While Next Level Games worked on the Xbox 360 game (along with the Wii, PC, and PlayStation 2 ports), Artificial Minds and Movement were responsible for the two handheld ports. This PSP game does share a lot of the assets found in the console titles (textures found in some of the levels, boss locations, character models and the voice acting), but at the end of the day this is a very different game than what you would find on the Xbox 360.
As I already explained, Spider-Man: Friend or Foe is an old school arcade brawler along the lines of Rival Turf and that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade machine. As the game starts Spider-Man is accosted by some very familiar looking enemies, so in true Spidey fashion our hero swings into action and attempts to save the day. But as he investigates the situation he starts to realize that a lot of his former foes have been brainwashed and are completely unaware of their actions. As you might imagine, this does not sit well with these otherwise ruthless and evil villains, so everybody teams up to figure out just what is going on and destroy it once and for all. It's a story right out of a comic book, which is definitely the high point of Friend or Foe.
From there the game becomes extremely predictable, you, and a second character (that can be played by a friend or the computer), set off on tour of the world beating up swarms of bad guys and knocking the sense into some of the most popular Spider-Man villains of all time. The game consists of a number of different (yet similar) levels, including Tokyo, Tangaroa Island, Egypt, Transylvania and (exclusive to the PSP version of the game) Mediterranean Undercity. Along the way you will meet up with a number of friends (including Blade and Silver Sable) and have to deal with tons of brainwashed villains. The boss villains play like a who's who was of bad guys from the Spider-Man movies, they include (but are not limited to) everybody from Doc Ock to Venom to Sandman to the Green Goblin. By the end of the game you will have defeated (and teamed up) with most of the major characters from the three most recent Spider-Man movies, which isn't a bad thing if you're a kid who grew up enamored by what Sam Raimi was able to do with those films.
Each level is split up into several sub-levels, and each of those sub-levels have several areas to fight through. While the Xbox 360 levels are long and full of secret items and locations, the areas in this PSP version are extremely short, some are no more than five or six minutes long. I suspect you're probably still covering the same amount of area that you did in the console versions, but it's all split up into bite-size segments that are interrupted by annoying loading screens. It would be one thing if you could save between these small areas, but you actually have to wait until you finish a full level before you can save your progress and stop playing. I don't really see much of a benefit to the way the areas are set up, I would have preferred the larger levels over the constant loading screens.
Another way this handheld game differs from its console brothers is in the way you control the game. At first the game looks like it's going to play exactly the same as the Xbox 360 version, but you'll quickly realize that in some ways you have more control over the characters on the screen (while in other ways you have less). While the combat remains largely unchanged, it's worth mentioning that this PSP game features two attack buttons (up from the one button attack button on the consoles). On top of the two attack buttons (a light and strong attack), you also have a button that will allow you to use your webbing to pull enemies closer and link attacks together.
Unfortunately there are a few problems associated with the actual combat. The biggest problem is that your web attacks aren't very effective; in most situations they are all but useless. You also don't have as many different special moves as you did in the Xbox 360 port, so you can pretty much kiss away any concept of variety. And, like the console versions of the game, the combat in the handheld port is just a little too repetitive for its own good. It's not a stretch to say that every level plays out exactly the same way; you walk in one direction, fight a bunch of guys, walk a little further, fight some more guys, walk to the end of the level and then exit to the next stage. And what do you do in the next level? That's right; you do exactly the same thing you did before. From time to time the action will be broken up by a boss battle, but most of those fights feel exactly the same as the regular fights, only this time you need to use more strategy and attack when they are vulnerable.

Our review of Mad Max for Xbox One from a casual gamer.
Games & Software: Xbox One
This is a review of Mad Max on Xbox One from a casual gamer. For fans of the movie, note that the game version of Mad Max is really its own thing. It all takes place in the same type of universe but this game isn't based directly on the movie. Considering how most movie games go, this is a good thing.
BackgroundIf you're not familiar with Mad Max, the basic version of the story is pretty easy to explain. Max is a guy in a post apocalyptic world where water and food are scarce and everyone wants to kill him. The game opens with Max having his car stolen out from under him by bandits. He ends up in a fight with the head bandit who has the awesome name of Scabrous Scrotus.
Max and Scrotus duke it out and Max ends up putting a chainsaw in the cranium of Scrotus who somehow lives through it. Max is left for dead and now wants revenge. It's a little odd that Max is left for dead and not killed. But there you go, that's really all you need to know.
So you team with up with a hunchback named Chum Bucket (brilliant names in this game!). Chum is a mechanic who will build Max a new car and keep it tuned up. Chum is a handy guy to have around and you don't have any babysitting duties which is great.
GameplayThe game is a huge open world. It's beautifully detailed wasteland that you can drive across without any load times. Go in buildings or fortress and it's all perfectly seamless without loading things.
The game is balanced between driving and running around fighting. Combat takes place in your car and on foot. Car combat woks pretty well and has you bashing into other cars to destroy them. You can also use your trusty shotgun and the even more awesome harpoon. Yes, harpoon! This game is made by the folk that make the Just Cause series with its awesome grappling hook so you can imagine the harpoon works well.
In fact, when driving, the harpoon is the primary weapon of choice. You use it to pull down sniper towers, shoot it into bandits and drag them around, or harpoon parts of enemy cars and yank them apart. Using it is easy. Just hit LB to enter a super slow motion mode which initially auto aims but allows you to fine tune the aim as well.
The shotgun works exactly the same way when driving, slow motion included. The problem with the gun is that ammo is hard to come by so you tend to save the shotgun for emergencies. Many complain that there isn't enough ammo but it feels well balanced to me since this isn't a shooter.
On foot, the combat isn't as good. It's the same as any of the recent Batman games. So, basically it's a quick time event. Hit X to swing your fist and Y to dodge. Dodge and attack just right and you land a good hit. Keep going and combo the hits for bigger and better attacks. Boring normally, and difficult when there are more than 5 enemies attacking you. Get the last one and it goes into slow motion just like, you guessed it, Batman. I didn't like it in Batman and don't like it here. But, at least here I don't need to memorize 500 button combos! It's mostly just dodge and hit with a few power moves. I basically button mash and it works.
In both cases (driving and on foot) the controls feel a little odd. This is a driving game but the car doesn't handle well. It's probably more authentic to this world but less fun than it could be. To be fair, it does get better as you upgrade your car so it's not all bad. At least I can get used to the driving but the foot controls feel sloppy. It's often hard to latch onto ladders and other context sensitive objects.
What I can't stand is how I have to push and hold the A button for everything. Want to pick up that money, I mean scrap, then push and hold A then watch an animation of Max bending down. Repeat that thousands of times and it get old. Want to fuel up your car, push X and watch an animation. Want water, push A and watch and animation. Need to open that special crate, push A and then mash A to crack it open. Ugh. It's as if the developers didn't actually play this part of the game when they designed it. Who wants to see the same animation over and over again?
On that note, why can I just run over (or drive over) the scrap to pick it up? I blow up a car and now I have to stop mine to get out and collect scrap? That's not fun people. Not fun at all. Eventually you find yourself passing on scrap (aka, money) because you don't want to stop and get it.
The missions are kind of the same thing over and over. If you played Just Cause 2 you know how this goes. You're basically clearing areas of enemy threats. Each one looks different but is really the same. Clear out the small camps and then work your way up to the big boss in that area. Rinse. Repeat.
Toss in zillions of side missions and collectibles and there is something for everyone even if it's all very repetitive. And it is repetitive. But at the same time still lots and lots of fun. I like clearing out enemy camps one by one, but I enjoyed that in Just Cause 2 as well. I like leveling up Max and his ride (the Magnum Opus). It's mindless fun and that's okay, it works here even if I know it will get old at some point.
Graphics & AudioThe look of the world is excellent. The detail feels right, the dust, smoke, fire, and effects all look great. No real issues with the graphics. The lighting is a bit overdone in how washed out they make the world look, but it works.
Audio is good but you hear a lot of the same few noises over and over again. The Magnum Opus engine and exhaust make up 99% of the sounds you hear in the game, or so it seems to me. Repetitive comes to mind again but it's not a complaint.
Characters and their animations all look good but you can't help but feel like you're always fighting the same guy over and over again.
ConclusionI really am enjoying Mad Max. It's a fun, though mostly mindless, game. There is a story forced in somewhere but I skip it like I do in most games. I don't care why I need to go there and get that part, I'll just do it because I get to drive and blow stuff up along the way. I don't have enough time to get into a story here, I just want to play.
It's a game I can pick up and play for a few minutes or a few hours at a time. It gets very repetitive but one of the few games where that formula works. The controls could be better and enemy variety could be better. I also wish the game would just auto load my world when I fire it up. Why do I need to see title screens, confirm that I want my world loaded, etc. It's just my game, why can't you just load it automatically like GTA V does?
I like that I can upgrade my character and car, even if I don't like being locked out of some upgrades until I hit certain story missions. I don't think I'll be playing this game for more than a few weeks. In fact, it's basically filler until Fallout 4 and Just Cause 3 come out. Once those hit shelves I'll never touch Mad Max again. With that in mind, I don't think it's worth buying but certainly worth renting at least. I've read mostly negative reviews of Mad Max and I think those reviews have valid points but I also think it's far more fun than they're giving it credit for.

Jaya TV has acquired the satellite rights of Vijay’s Kaththi directed by AR Murugadoss. There is a myth largely prevalent in Tamil Nadu that if Jaya TV buys satellite rights for a film, the film will get a smooth, noiseless release despite any opposition since the channel is believed to be owned by AIADMK Supremo, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalitha. Ever since the film’s launch, Kaththi has been mired in controversies and the makers, Lyca Productions had to clear the air in a press meet three days back to ensure a hassle-free audio launch yesterday.
Meanwhile, Vaaniyarasu, who spearheads 100 plus Tamil groups who are against the film, issued a warning yesterday that they will march towards the audio launch venue to abrupt the proceedings. But, the tight security arrangements at the event ensured the event went trouble-free. Protesters were arrested even before the event started and evacuated from the venue. AR Murugadoss and Vijay confirmed that the film will release for Diwali.

WATCH: Ex gatecrashes wedding, begs groom to take her back
There's something about weddings that bring out that warm, fuzzy feeling. After all, the day is about the lucky couple. But what happens when an ex comes out of the woodwork and begs the unsuspecting groom to take her back?
This is exactly what happened at a wedding in China, and it's left the internet shook. The entire cringe-worthy moment was filmed by a guest and promptly made its way online.
Video footage shows the stunned bride looking on as the groom's ex, dressed in a wedding dress, grabs him and drops to her knee shouting "It's my fault". The emotional woman continuously tugs at his jacket, but the groom is unimpressed.
According to news.com.au, the events unfolded just as the newly married couple were about to share their first kiss on stage.
It seems that the bride was having none of it and stormed off the stage, prompting him to run after her.
Chances are, this union won't last long, but it didn't stop online users from weighing in. "Do not destroy other’s relationship to satisfy your own obsession,” commented someone on Weibo, while another said "This is exactly why you can’t be friends with an ex."

Planet Hulk trailer
This could be interesting. I liked the original story of Planet Hulk, and I'm curious to see how much this follows the original.
Mental flotsam and musings... most likely around gaming, sci fi/fantasy, comics, or society in general. And beer. Mmmmm... beer.

Direct Hit! – Wasted Mind
Direct Hit! is a band that gives pop punk a better name. The angry vocals of Nick Woods and upbeat sound of the rest of the band outshine the run-of-the-mill bands that have taken over mainstream media . They have managed to create a great equilibrium between hardcore and pop punk. Though Wasted Mind does not sound as hard as previous albums such as Domesplitter (2011), they have made an album that mixes loud and powerful with anthem vibes. Many songs on this album seem to grow on you after you listen to it.
Wasted Mind was the debut for Direct Hit! on Fat Wreck Chords when it was released in June 2016. As with their previous albums, it had an overall theme which in this case was drugs. The album starts off with what seems like a parental advisory message except quite the opposite. The message states that anyone over the age of 40 should stop listening to the album and ends with their tagline “FUCK YOU GET PUMPED”. That transitions into the first song of the album “Artificial Confidence” which has upbeat verses and a melodic chorus, a reoccurring theme with Direct Hit!
One of the faster songs on the album is “Paid in Brains” which comes with a great music video as well. This song is what made me fall in love with this band and has it louder yelling in the verses which are once again followed up with a catchy chorus. Another catchy (but slow) track is “Hospital for Heroes”. Though it does contain some yelling the majority is slower with lyrics that tell an interesting story.
The rest of the album has unique lyrics and power chords that give Direct Hit! their distinct sound. The album finishes with “Do the Sick” where Nick Woods is almost exclusively screaming the entire way through. This track also includes some fun organ and piano solos (which almost sound like a theme song to a kid’s show) and finishes the album off with a nice abrupt ending.
They have been going on tour this year since January with bands such as Anti-Flag and Bowling for Soup. They are also making an appearance in Gainesville and Tampa, FL for The Fest and Pre-Fest with Against Me! and other bands (not necessarily with exclamation points in the name). So if you want to see an upbeat band with great live energy, see if they are coming to a venue near you!
tldr: This band/album is a great combo for people who love hardcore and pop punk plus they put on a fantastic live show.

Transforming the Written Word: The Future of Book-to-Film Adaptations
The Power of Adapting Books to Film
Book-to-film adaptations have been around for as long as there have been books and movies. However, in recent years, we’ve seen an increasing number of these adaptations appearing on our screens. From the Hunger Games to Harry Potter, the Twilight Saga to Lord of the Rings, the success of these adaptations has been enormous. The power of these movies lies in their ability to bring beloved stories to life, to allow audiences to see their favorite characters and worlds in a new way.
Challenges of Adapting Books to Film
Adapting books to film is not without its challenges. How do you condense a 500-page novel into a two-hour movie? How do you capture the essence of a story without losing important plot points or characters? These are just a few of the questions that filmmakers must answer when tackling book-to-film adaptations. Fortunately, advancements in technology and changes in storytelling have paved the way for new solutions.
Technology and Storytelling Innovations
Advancements in technology have made it easier than ever before to create visually stunning movies that bring fictional worlds to life. CGI and other visual effects allow filmmakers to create everything from mythical creatures to entire worlds. Additionally, storytelling has changed as well. Non-linear storytelling, unreliable narrators, and other techniques previously seen only in literature are now being used in movies.
The Future of Book-to-Film Adaptations
The future of book-to-film adaptations is bright. As technology continues to advance, filmmakers will be able to create even more visually stunning movies. Additionally, as storytelling continues to evolve, we’ll see more and more creative adaptations that push the limits of what’s possible. And perhaps most exciting of all, we’ll continue to see stories that capture our hearts and imaginations, brought to life in new and exciting ways.
- New adaptations to look out for:
- Dune: A highly anticipated adaptation of Frank Herbert’s classic science-fiction novel.
- The Power of the Dog: A Western drama based on the novel by Thomas Savage.
- The North Water: A miniseries based on the novel by Ian McGuire, featuring Colin Farrell and Jack O’Connell.
- The Three-Body Problem: A science-fiction trilogy by Liu Cixin, set to be adapted by Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss.
In conclusion, the future of book-to-film adaptations is bright. While challenges exist, advancements in technology and storytelling techniques are paving the way for new solutions. And as long as there are great stories to be told, we’ll continue to see beloved books brought to life on the silver screen.

This 29th episode has finally given us another Patrangers story. Sadly, it is an amnesia story which is is a very tired plot line. However, this season has proven it can make a basic plot fun, but also terrible. Which will happen this time? Click "read more" and we shall find out.
The episode begins with Sakuya proposing that they throw a welcome party for Noël Takao because he never received one from the Global Police and that Noël Takao could organize it himself. Organize his own welcome party? Well, that talk gets cut off when they come across Goche and some Pordermen. Coincidentally, the Lupinrangers are having the same idea for a party for Noël Takao when they see the fight that broke out between Goche, the Pordermen, and the Patrangers. Does this city only have one big sidewalk? This fight turns out to just be a trap for Goche to experiment with her new amnesia powers and she uses them on Keiichiro causing his memories to scattered into photos. Ooh! A plot and a collectible.
|If only someone had a vacuum handy
Keiichiro's memories are not completely gone as he still remembers Tsukasa but not Sakuya implying that it may be only a few years lost. Cut to intro. Just like that, 2 minutes in and the plot is nicely set up. Not bad.
One theme song later, the Patrangers are trying to figure out how to help Keiichiro. What follows is a clip show of past episodes from the Patrangers point of view as they try to jog Keiichiro's memory. Oh no, not another cliche plot.
One good note though. There is a funny 4th wall joke where Keiichiro confuses Commander Hilltop as a famous Hollywood actor when he actually is played by a pretty famous actor.
A couple minutes later, the flashbacks aren't jogging any memories for Keiichiro, so Noël Takao proclaims there must still be some photos missing so Sakuya and Tsukasa go searching for them.
Back at the Lupinrangers Bistro, the three of them have taken one of the photos assuming that it is real and wonder who took it.
The sight of this photo causes the 3 of them to have a trip down memory lane. More clip show! Dared to think it could be quick. Once their clip show is over, Noël Takao appears and tells them what happened and that this photo is part of Keiichiro's memory.
Cutting to the Ganglars HQ, Goche states how a mear Porderman is unable to fully harness a collection pieces power. (This is why Keiichiro didn't lose all his memories.) This chat, once again leads into a clip show, this time of past Ganglar battles. I think you know where this episode is heading by now.
Back at the Bistro, it is now Noël Takao's turn to have a series of flashbacks. If you really want to know, they just say when the photo takes place and proceed to tell their entire story throughout the season so far.
Shockingly, a little bit of plot development is here. The Lupinrangers ask Noël Takao why he has both the Patran X and Lupin X powers and he replies that he believes that both the police and phantom thieves are necessary. This statement, is quickly shot down by the 3 main Lupinrangers as all of them see the Patrangers as a threat of destroying a collection piece.
I'm interested in this a lot more than the clip shows. It seems Noël Takao might be the neutral party I was hoping for after all.
Tsukasa and Sakuya find a few more photos and having more flashbacks, but more importantly, Keiichiro has run off. Seeing some of his photos may not have fixed his memories, but they did trigger his desire to fight for peace. That's pretty deep.
Meanwhile, Noël Takao says to Kairi, Tooma, and Umika that only they can restore Keiichiro's memories and reminds them of all the times the Patrangers impressed/helped them. (Yup, more flashbacks.)
Keiichiro rushes to save a civilian from a Porterman attack and fights them unmorphed. Pretty convinient there happen to be trouble when he decided to storm off. He is holding his own but freezes when he sees his VS changer.
To be fair, this is a normal response for a cop when finding one of these things in their holster.
At this time, the Phantom Thieves show up and begin fighting the Pordermen after taunting Keiichiro a little. Obviously, if they didn't choose to restore Keiichiro's memories than the characters could never be redeemed. However, it is still nice to see some unmorphed fights, even just for a short time.
Watching the phantom thieves fight jogs all of Keiichiro's memories and all the photos fly back to him. Does that mean they didn't need to be collected?
With all his memories back, Keiichiro screams out is usual catchphrases, henshins up, and unleashes a new form with his Crane VS Vehicle.
Lame! This is something little kid me would have designed with access to toys and glue.
The Phantom Thieves steal the collection piece from the safe head Porderman and Keiichiro destroys the remaining Pordermen. Goodstriker appears only to be disappointed that there is no giant monster this time but does have a series of flashbacks about all the past giant mech combinations.
Just couldn't resist another clip show. This one only shows off how much more attention the Lupinrangers are getting.
The episode ends with Noël Takao welcome party that he did in fact host himself. It is a big Yukata party with expensive food and fireworks and with both teams present.
This episode is an amnesia clip show collection. Do I need to say anymore? There was no new monster and very little development. The Patrangers finally get another episode and this is what they are stuck with. However, there were a few decent moments with the characters as it showed how some of them had grown over the season. Still, such a moment felt a little too soon in the season. You can skip this episode without missing much, but if there is one defining factor, it is seeing all these characters at the party. It is a rare sight to see Sentai Heroes dressed up. 3/5

For a little while Lego made a couple of sets and Minifigures based on The Simpsons. There has been the Simpsons House, and the Kwik-E-Mart. These two sets are great, and showcase just how well the Simpsons can fit into the Lego world. But, since then there hasn’t been much. Just a Brickheadz release. One location that would be perfect as a set would be Moe’s Tavern.
As this famous Tavern serves a variety of alcoholic drinks, many people think that excludes it from being an official set. Which means fans need to build their own. Which is exactly what Dylan Lane has done with his Lego Moe’s Tavern. This build matches the classic brown and purple color scheme, and even features brick built stained glass windows. The sign is an excellent build and uses a lot of the techniques found in the official modular sets. You can find that Homer just can’t wait to get inside, and have Duff Beer.
If you cannot wait for the upcoming official Lego Simpsons Kwik-E-Mart then build your own. That is exactly what Flickr user 6kyubi6 did. It sounds like this is the first in a series, as it has been deemed a part of the “Springfield Project.” This Lego Kwik-E-Mart is a thing of beauty. The whole thing is built on a studs-not-on-top (SNOT) base, which helps give this MOC an animated look. Some of the small details are genius. Keeping with the lived in appearance of the show, the air conditioning unit on the roof is leaking. There is a well made bike rack, and telephone booth. Even the dumpster is leaking a mysterious brown liquid. Then there are the custom made stickers and signs, the Kwik-E-Mart sign, various posters, and even El Barto’s signature. These, along with all of the small details really help to bring life to the scene. You can just imagine Bart and Mulhouse buying a Super Squishee. The only thing missing is Matt Groening’s signature.

The German TV actress Susan Derakhchani got her start on the screen with a feature film called Die Ratte (1993), which had the tagline, roughly translated, ‘Sex is the answer – but what is the question?’ It would be pretty misleading to include something like that and not have Susan show us some of her goods in action. Luckily, the movie delivers. In one somewhat odd scene, she gets her clothes taken off by a very adamant man who goes right into a doggy style quickie with the very delectable Susan. The boy in the room is trying to avert his eyes, but he gets disciplined when trying to avoid the inevitable. Soon both Susan and her dude are attacking him, and in the process we get bush, buns, and boobs from the slim and curly haired babe. Some of the TV shows she appeared on afterwards were Tatort and Der Dicke.

A casino is a place where people can enjoy gambling. The casino games that you can play are diverse and include slot machines and table games. Some casinos are specialized in developing new games. Some of the games in a casino are regulated by state laws. There are also arcades at some casinos, which offer a variety of games. Depending on the casino, you can choose from hundreds or even thousands of games. So, you’ll never run out of new things to play.
Unibet is one of the largest gambling sites in the world, founded by a Swedish entrepreneur in London. Since then, it has grown to be the most trusted brand for online casino and sports betting in Europe and Scandinavia. With a long-standing reputation for fairness, honesty, and fast payouts, Unibet has expanded into different states. So, you can try playing the games in your favorite state and reap the rewards of great gaming!
Security at a casino starts at the floor, where employees keep an eye on the games and the patrons. Dealers are trained to keep an eye on their games, and they can notice if a patron is cheating. Other employees, such as pit bosses, monitor tables to prevent a pattern of betting and cheating. While the casino’s security measures are extremely sophisticated, it still does not mean that there’s no way to stop a cheating thief. Fortunately, security staff spend a lot of money protecting their patrons.
