In the first episode “Trying to Get to Heaven Before They Close the Door”, you’d see a badass looking blonde woman get out of a car and enter a strip club. With a firearm bound to her hand, she enters the back of the joint to confront an obese man who is receiving oral sex in a rolling chair. Most shows would stop you right there. They would obscure the graphic act being performed in the story, cut to a different angle, and have faith that you don’t need to see the whole ballpark frank to know what is happening....

Black Widow has one of the best openings of any MCU movie yet, and I will fight you on that. The story begins in Ohio, circa 1995, where a young Natasha Romanov is living with her Soviet spy family in quasi-but-not-totally-fake family bliss. The domestic dream ends once Alexei has completed his mission, forcing the family to make a dangerous getaway from the suburbs that ends in a tarmac shootout in which Melina gets shot and pre-teen Natasha has to pilot a plane on her own in order to save her family....

Although his review was largely a positive one, his sentiments echoed those of audiences who felt that Part II was an exercise in contrivance — one marked by baffling character choices (Marty’s sudden aversion to being called “chicken,” every line reading Thomas F. Wilson does as Griff, etc), strange plot details (ditching Jennifer from the story), and the overwhelming darkness of the alternative 1985 sequence, and a cliffhanger ending that sidelined the feel good elements of the first film for something strange and unfamiliar....

The same could be said about the original Scarface. Studio filmmakers saw producer Howard Hughes as a rich interloper, bullying his way onto the lot with too many guns blazing. Conversely, Brian De Palma’s Scarface is about excess, and how success depends on it. Oliver Stone’s screenplay for the ‘80s movie used a gangster as an allegory for the Reagan administration’s war on drugs and the capitalistic greed of the era....

Disney at first optimistically rescheduled Soul for November 20. But with the virus still raging and potential audiences staying mostly away from the films that did manage to circulate in whatever theaters around the country were operating (hello Tenet), the Mouse House got out in front of the situation by pulling Soul off its theatrical release perch and announcing a Christmas Day premiere on Disney+, which has accrued some 86 million subscribers in the past year (as of two weeks ago)....

If anything, House of the Dragon could end up feeling as epic or more so than Game of Thrones despite adapting a smaller section of George R.R. Martin’s source material. Interestingly enough, however, the showrunner behind it originally had a much smaller, more intimate vision of Martin’s Westeros. House of the Dragon showrunner Ryan Condal (formerly of Colony and Rampage) has a lengthy history with George R.R. Martin’s epic novels....

While many people were quick to call this remaster “fake” or merely a fan-made tribute, recent evidence strongly suggests that this is the remains of an official attempt to remaster GoldenEye 007. Naturally, that information has left many people wondering why such an incredible remaster of such a beloved game never saw the light of day despite the fact that it appears to be nearly finished. The answer to that question is complicated, controversial, and heartbreaking for legions of GoldenEye 007 fans who have been waiting for the chance to play one of the best multiplayer experiences ever released on a Nintendo console....

She-Hulk, aka Jennifer Walters, made her entrance in the pages of Marvel Comics in February 1980, when her debut book, The Savage She-Hulk, hit the stands. In the book, Walters is a criminal defense attorney who runs afoul of a crime boss with a beef against her father, a Los Angeles County Sheriff. The boss orders a hit on Jennifer, who is gravely wounded and in need of blood. It just so happens that her cousin, Dr....

The first thing they got right: They found a splashy replacement for Fox Mulder by casting Terminator 2 star Robert Patrick as FBI agent John Doggett. Tasked with finding a missing Fox Mulder, Doggett stepped into the hardened skeptic role. Scully had her defenses up initially, but soon developed a rapport with Doggett and strengthened her relationship with Skinner in Mulder’s absence. There was genuine conflict and respect between Scully, Doggett, and Skinner, a dynamic that was a positive development for the show’s characterization....

1 Month – $10.99 3 Months – $29.99 6 Months – $59.99 That last comment is an interesting one that goes well beyond the borders of console wars and fanboyism. This price hike isn’t just a loss for Microsoft from a PR standpoint; it’s a big win for Sony that they scored without really needing to do anything. After all, Xbox Live Gold is Microsoft’s equivalent of PlayStation Plus. Both allow you to access online multiplayer for games, both allow you to download free games every month, and both allow you to access an array of deals....

Well, Zack Snyder’s Justice League, as it’s now called, is here. And if more content is what you really want, you’re about to be submerged up to your eyeballs in it. With a running time of just over four hours, the Snyder Cut is four minutes longer than Gone with the Wind and nearly 15 minutes lengthier than Lawrence of Arabia. One suspects Snyder hopes this is considered a cinematic epic on that scale....

For example 001111, this is a binary number. It is also known as a ‘base 2’ system. These codes are performed in the processors present in all of our computer systems. The binary number system is an internal language of the computer. All types of data that we want our computers to process are converted into this binary code. As you know, binary numbers are not human-readable and understandable. To understand these codes, we need to convert them to plain text format....

Sometimes renting a brick-and-mortar office space becomes a challenging affair for micro, small, medium, and freelance business owners. You need to pay a fixed monthly rent which will increase every year. All of this is only for a business address and mailbox. Suppose you conduct your business online but need a business address for billing, taxation, and regulatory purposes. You might ask, ‘do I have any other option than paying rent on a physical office?...
