Halo Infinite‘s open-world structure may prove to be the future of this franchise’s gameplay, but it’s the ways that this game’s ending and post-credits scene set up the future of Halo‘s story and lore that leave us wondering what directions developer 343 Industries intends to take this series in. Halo Infinite‘s story falls somewhere between a reboot and the next chapter of the Halo saga as it’s been told so far....
“People are entitled to their secrets,” says one of the characters early on in this Harlan Coben-created Netflix series, and then we’re immediately plunged into the business of proving that untrue. Everybody might have secrets but nobody is entitled to keep them, particularly once a teenage girl has gone missing from an affluent English gated community that is a great setting for strange and horrible happenings. Safe starts off with the flavour of a soap opera....
The most notable new release for HBO Max this month is the HBO series The Nevers. This show, created by Joss Whedon, is set in a 19th century steampunk London and finds a sizable portion of the population (predominantly women) having been “Touched” by mysterious paranormal powers. There’s an interesting bit of irony at play here, as HBO Max is following up the Snyder Cut with a show created by his original Justice League replacement....
Obviously, there is no replacing House of the Dragon‘s cultural impact so HBO is looking for some singles in November, rather than the homerun. Things get started on in promising fashion on Nov. 3. That date sees the premiere of Titans season 4 and the interesting true crime documentary Low Country: The Murdaugh Dynasty. The former will continue the adventures of DC’s heralded Titans team (and introduce some new heavy hitters) while the latter will try to keep pace with Netflix’s prolific true crime output....
No, the nadir instead came with 2011’s Hellraiser: Revelations, a sequel made in a matter of weeks to ensure Dimension FIlms retained the rights to the series. A film so horrifyingly bad that to watch it more than once would border on sadomasochism. In truth, few, if any, of the Hellraiser sequels prior to the latest Disney/Hulu effort have matched the dizzying blend of menacing intensity and eye-popping body horror that made the original such a distinctive experience, save for Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988) and, at certain points, Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (1992)....
The demon King Paimon can grant many wishes, but you don’t want to rub him the wrong way. 2018’s scariest new film, Hereditary, is conjuring so many comparisons to Rosemary’s Baby and The Exorcist, and it seems like a Luciferian conspiracy. This is because Satanic cinema is ultimately scarier than any other monster films unless you count based-on-real-life political thrillers or the impending doom of Legally Blonde 3. Devil movies scare the shit out of people because they mine a collective subconscious for its most revered derisions....
The genre has always stayed alive, but most recently made a famed public blip on the radar with the V/H/S films. Now with Holidays, a new attempt at themed horror shorts is being released to the public. Does this collection of holiday-centric quickies have what it takes to be shelved next to the most classic of classic spook anthologies? Here is the short and inarguable truth about all current horror anthologies; one, possibly two, segments shine while the rest lay on their backs looking up at a pair of balloons rising higher into the atmosphere....
Now that Gordon and Blum have proved that their experiment was viable—and are continuing it with Halloween Kills (which opens this week) and Halloween Ends (which is slated to arrive next year)—the next question naturally arises. Which creatively exhausted, financially depleted, or simply long-dormant horror tentpole could benefit from the same treatment? There are surprisingly a number of respected, venerable horror titles that could possibly fit the bill, and indeed some of them may be in line for the Halloween-style reboot already....
Episode 6 of House of the Dragon is about to take the series’ biggest time jump yet. “The Princess and the Queen” will be set 10 years after the deadly brawl at Rhaenyra’s wedding feast, Alicent’s dramatic entrance, and King Viserys’ (Paddy Considine) latest health scare. While the series has jumped forward before, it’s only been by a few years or so at a time, so actors Milly Alcock and Emily Carey have been able to portray the young Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower, respectively, without issue....
The childbirth scenes in House of the Dragon have been a talking point among fans online since the horrifying Cesarean section depicted in the first episode. Some of what we’re seeing on the show represents things we’ve seen before – screaming mothers, pacing fathers, crying infants. But there are aspects of childbirth presented on House of the Dragon that we hardly ever see on mainstream television, and that’s really exciting....
Now with his follow up, Dashcam, Savage and his team are experimenting with the genre once again. Another found footage movie, Dashcam follows right-wing internet personality Annie Hardy (played by US musician Annie Hardy) as she live streams her increasingly bizarre evening for her fans (the whole thing is told via her dashcam or her mobile). Annie, the character, is in the mould of the Final Girl (the single surviving female who has suffered all manner of ordeals and makes it out the other side of the horror movie) but unlike in the classic trope, Annie is, as Savage describes “an asshole” who spouts anti-mask, anti-vax conspiracies theories and is a massive pain in the arse even to her friends....
Evangelion 3.0 + 1.01 Thrice Upon a Time had a lot to wrap up. Not just the story of the Rebuild of Evangelion films, a story that had been left on a cliffhanger since 2012, but the Evangelion franchise as a whole, which began in 1995. This is the swansong, for Evangelion, the final story for the foreseeable future in creator Hideaki Anno’s ideal version of the series. (Anno stated in an interview with The New York Times that he might return to the franchise at some point but that it won’t be any time soon....
Fargo’s season 4, episode 8, “The Nadir,” contains an allegorical reference to a true crime occurrence. It appears Loy Cannon (Chris Rock) dropped dime on the two lady criminals he felt responsible for, Zelmare Roulette (Karen Aldridge) and Swanee Capps (Kelsey Asbille). He thought he was turning two tickets to Philadelphia into a one-way ride to Palookaville. They turned it into a grand exit. The conclusion of this sequence points to a conspiracy....
Everything about Elle Woods is bubblegum pink femininity, from her wardrobe (“I don’t understand why you’re completely disregarding your signature color!”) and tiny purse dog Bruiser to her enthusiastic vernacular and name, derived from the 2000s teen fashion magazine, which also happens to be the French pronoun “she.” When Elle is frustrated, she channels the feeling into studying and achieving. When she’s rejected from a study group (essential to surviving law school), she politely takes her homemade treats and leaves....
“I guess it all started in junior high for me. In the early 80s, I was part of my ‘nerd crew,’” Star Trek: Discovery actor Anthony Rapp, who plays science officer and chief engineer Paul Stamets in the science fiction franchise, tells Den of Geek when we virtually sit down to discuss our mutual love for Dungeons & Dragons. “We were reading Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and had our own little weird literary magazine....
But Christensen’s Star Wars comeback isn’t stopping there. THR reports that the actor will also appear in the upcoming Ahsoka series opposite Rosario Dawson, although it’s again unclear whether he’ll show up as the troubled Jedi hero or the Sith monster he became after parting ways with his former padawan. Either way, Christensen’s debut in the post-Original Trilogy era does present some very interesting possibilities for what this could mean for Star Wars as a whole....

Today, applications run as micro-service. The term micro-service is nothing but a container that packages all the code and its dependencies so the application can run quickly and reliably in any computing environment. Due to their portability, small size, and convenience, containers are becoming a method of choice for shipping modern applications. Containers are designed from a read-only template called an image. These images need to be stored somewhere so they can be retrieved by any machine authorized to use them....

Having SSL/TLS (HTTPS) to your website also helps you to boost ranking in Google Search. Usually, SSL cert costs more than $200; however, if you need a certificate for a non-production environment where data transaction is not critical, you may try FREE SSL by Let’s Encrypt....
Has the idea of how to remove the vocals of a song ever crossed your mind so you can rock it with your voice? Well, it’s possible now, thanks to modern-day technology, such as vocal removal software. Although removing the vocals or instrumentals completely from a song is never perfect due to certain complexities, we have reached far to achieve outstanding results by leveraging high-end technologies like AI, ML, neural networks, etc....
