The Mountain Dew Zero Sugar commercial (seen below), chock-full of franchise-evocative Easter eggs, shows movie protagonist Billy Peltzer (Galligan) hyping the soda before unwisely giving Gizmo a gulp (as if he didn’t know any better), leading to an all-too-familiar population outbreak. Billy’s daughter (along with a mohawked Mogwai resting on her shoulder,) reacts with an exasperated sigh. While the clip is hardly canon, Galligan explained to EW how the puppets-teeming commercial might become the template for finally getting Gremlins 3 off the ground....

“I have stepped back from Infinite and I am looking at future opportunities,” Lee said. “I believe in the team and am confident they will deliver a great game and now is a good time for me to step away.” This move follows Lee’s reported decision to pivot from Halo Infinite around the time that 343 and Microsoft confirmed that the game’s release date has been delayed until 2021. Now, it seems that he has walked away from the project entirely (at least for the time being)....

The Cubist interpretation of Hannibal‘s Season 3 episode “Dolce”, which sees Will catching up to Hannibal in Florence, was created by New Jersey high school senior Kathleen Palmer, and is gorgeous (the U.S. Capitol should be so lucky to have this piece of art hanging in its hallowed halls). The Twitter rounds of the artwork eventually made it into Fuller’s newsfeed, and even prompted a follow-up question from a U....

Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon is set to premiere on HBO and HBO Max on Aug. 21, just over three years after Game of Thrones concluded in controversial fashion with “The Iron Throne.” This new series is a prequel, depicting the civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons from George R.R. Martin’s lore. When dragon fights dragon, the realm will be torn asunder. But the viewer will certainly delight in all the Targaryen action....

Cavill snapped a selfie in the mirror while hair and makeup fitted his Geralt of Rivia wig as he perused some papers. “Secret project? Or just a handful of paper with random words on it…. Guess you’ll have to wait and see. Happy hump day all,” Cavill captioned his post, adding the hashtag ‘#secrets’. While we can probably assume that Cavill isn’t studying “a handful of paper with random words on it” here, we can’t assume that the “secret project” that he’s teasing will turn out to be a new Superman project either....

Hereditary passes that test with flying (if very dark) colors, delivering an emotionally devastating tale of grief, trauma and family dysfunction that is powerful on its own terms even without the macabre events that begin to plague the poor Graham clan. In some way we never really know our parents, a realization that occurs to artist Annie Graham (Toni Collette) who, while speaking at her recently deceased mother’s memorial service, acknowledges that the woman kept much of her private life to herself....

“In literary form, it’s a very different game,” laughs Framestore VFX Supervisor Russell Dodgson. “You can describe things that you can’t quite picture and that makes it more magical, but then you try and put it on screen and it’s like, oh! It’s such hard work. Our 3D VFX supervisor on that, Rob Harrington, has definitely gone greyer doing the Spectres.” Monsters from the void between parallel worlds, His Dark Materials’ Spectres are created whenever a window is cut from one reality to another....

Members of the Guerrilla Games team have confirmed that the game’s title is indeed a reference to protagonist Aloy’s journey into the West. As such, this will definitely be a sequel to 2017’s Horizon Zero Dawn that seems to pick up right about where the last major game (and its DLC) in the series left off. Sony said that “Horizon Forbidden West continues Aloy’s story as she moves west to a far-future America to brave a majestic, but dangerous frontier where she’ll face awe-inspiring machines and mysterious new threats....

And with Infinite Frontier and Future State, DC’s next publishing initiatives, on deck, it’s worth taking a look at what Death Metal did so we can try and understand how the pieces fit together. Because if there’s one thing to take away from Death Metal, it’s that everything fits together. Even if you really gotta stomp on the pieces to get them to stick. THE ANTI-CRISIS IS HERE! The final couple of issues of Death Metal throw a little bit of a curveball at readers....

Though Wan has proved he can play in the big leagues (Furious 7, Aquaman) he has also consistently returned to horror. And in doing so he has quietly – almost insidiously, you might say – managed to launch three distinct movements within the horror genre, and change the trajectory of the scary movie for the modern era. On face value movies like Saw, Insidious, and The Conjuring might not look like game changers in the way films like Get Out and Hereditary were immediately presented as....

Microsoft’s shocking (though still pending) acquisition of Activision Blizzard has everyone buzzing and a lot of people suddenly wondering how much Sony, Nintendo, Capcom, Square Enix, and their other favorite video game studios are actually worth. After all, it certainly feels like more major developers could be purchased in the very near future. So far as that goes, talking about the “net worth” of a business is kind of tricky....

The morality of the Jedi is an oft-debated part of Star Wars lore. Are they divinely appointed arbiters or inept police officers? What is the nature of the Force, and why does it have a light side and a dark side? The new novel Star Wars: Ronin answers these questions in new ways by redefining the Force and the Jedi, and presenting heroes who don’t fit the conventional labels of Jedi or Sith....

The sociopathic, narcissistic aspects of the character, along with the name Griffin, were retained when director James Whale (Frankenstein) brought a faithful version of Wells’ novel to the screen in 1933 as one of the original Universal Monster movies. In the film, however, Griffin (played brilliantly by Claude Rains) does not just want to subjugate his homeland, but the entire world. In writer-director Leigh Whannell’s new update of the classic tale, the Invisible Man’s (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) ultimate plans for his optic technology remain a mystery, but in the movie, he uses them for one reason: to destroy the life of Cecilia (Elisabeth Moss), the woman who summons the courage to escape his clutches after three years of an abusive, domineering relationship that left her traumatized and shattered....

“There’s nothing melodic about any of it,” says Keltner of the devilish machine. “I spent a year at home obsessing over how to tease out the sounds I wanted. Eventually, those sounds became the sound bed for our Texas Chainsaw Massacre game.” Like Keltner, the team at Gun went to incredible lengths to make sure their Texas Chainsaw Massacre game lived up to Tobe Hooper’s horror movie classic. They traveled to the original locations in Texas to take over 10,000 reference photos....

Guardians of the Galaxy’s Chris Pratt stars as Dan Forester, a military veteran turned family man and high school teacher, and one of the recruits. Thrown into the fight of his life, Dan must team up with a scientist from the future (Yvonne Strahovski) and his estranged father Slade (J.K. Simmons) to alter the course of the future and save the world. “I love big action, sci-fi horror movies, whether it’s Aliens, Terminator, Blade Runner, E....

There could be many reasons, for example, someone harassing you or someone from the marketing department that just wouldn’t stop calling. Another instance might be scam calls. In all those scenarios, it’s best to block them so that they cannot disturb you anymore because having a phone of your own gives you the freedom to decide who gets to reach out to you. As we progress with technology, scammers are getting smarter and cleverer with their tactics to target innocent people, and it’s not very difficult to deceive someone unaware of these things....

Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) is the first thing you wake up whenever you power on your computer. It allows for a proper handshake between the operating system and the attached hardware. And from there on, you start using your computer. BIOS (aka Legacy or Legacy BIOS) was good at what it did from 1975 until 2020; the year chipmakers slowly started to migrate to an efficient alternative: UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface)....

If you are in such situation and need to know the password, then the following would be handy to decode it. Decrypting WebLogic Console Password This assumes you had server access and logged in with the respective UNIX account. Go to Oracle bin directory (oracle_home/common/bin)E Execute the wlst.sh You will get WLST prompt in offline mode, invoke the following command Note: change the domain path if necessary Note: encrypted code starting with AES you can find in a boot....

Penetration testers must be aware of a WAF before beginning a web application engagement since the outcome of their assaults may be impacted. But before that… What is WAF? WAF (Web Application Firewall ) plays a significant role in website security. They filter and monitor the traffic. Web Application Firewalls provide protection against major flaws. Many organizations are modernizing their infrastructure to include web application firewalls. According to ethical hacking experts, web application firewalls cannot fix security issues on their own; adequate configuration is required to recognize and block external threats....

The release of Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.6 coincided with the launch of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, which was apparently the plan since the patch was nicknamed the “Edgerunners Update.” Not only did this patch implement yet more fixes that finally made the game worth playing, the update also added several new gigs and weapons. One of these armaments is a chainsword, the Cut-O-Matic, which is perfect for everyone who wants a little Warhammer 40K in their Cyberpunk 2077....
