Today, Florence is chiefly remembered as the architect behind what some might call the greatest act of attempted vandalism in cinematic history. She did, after all, pursue with the tenacity of Abraham Van Helsing a scorched earth crusade intent on having all prints of Nosferatu burned to ash. If she had succeeded, F.W. Murnau’s German Expressionist masterpiece, and one of the finest horror films ever produced, would have been lost to posterity—instead of still being watched and celebrated exactly 100 years since its Berlin premiere....

But then I keep coming back to the same thought: I would still watch the hell out of it. Because while the combination of the artist and the art could not be more dissimilar, the potential for an invigorating new interpretation makes it worthwhile, especially in an IP-happy era where genuine auteurship is harder to come by. In fact, to a smaller extent — hear me out, this is gonna be good — what if I told you the experience of a Tarantino Star Trek film might not be all that dissimilar from a 2005 anime film from the mega-popular series One Piece?...

Heck, some Oscar voters are so anxious to bring audiences back to this March’s telecast that there’s even momentum for Spider-Man: No Way Home getting an Oscar nod for Best Picture! (More on that below.) It’s of course still a strange Oscar season where one feel-good contender after the next failed to feel good about finding an audience in theaters. A cynic might even wonder if mainstream audiences’ understanding of what a “movie” is has changed in the age of streaming at home and Marvel Studios claiming a third of revenue in theaters....

This model describes the intricacies of how data flows in a network, communication protocols such as TCP, and differences between tools and technologies. Although many argue the relevance of the OSI model layers, it indeed is relevant, especially in the age of cybersecurity. Knowing the OSI model layers will help you gauge the technical vulnerabilities and risks associated with applications and systems. It can also help teams identify and distinguish data’s location and physical access and define their security policy....

Seasons 3 and 4 were Parks and Recreation’s undeniable sweet spot. The dull Mark Brendanawicz (Paul Schneider) had left, the brilliant Ben Wyatt and Chris Traeger (Rob Lowe and Adam Scott) had arrived, the adorable Andy and April (Chris Pratt and Aubrey Plaza) were a couple, and Leslie and Ron (Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman) had reached hero status. There are moments of greatness dotted elsewhere in the show’s 125 episode history though, as this one never really went off the boil....

Of all the clichés uttered on the promotional circuit, the one most likely to sink the stomach is being told that a hot new series ‘is really a 10-hour movie.’ As a phrase, it’s so derided by now the real wonder is that anybody continues to say it (and yet they do. Perhaps they’re telling the truth about not reading their own press). As explained neatly here by Vulture’s Kathryn VanArendonk, it’s a frustrating thing to hear because it does TV a disservice, equating value only with the novelistic or cinematic and snobbishly assuming that for TV to be truly worthwhile, it has to be something other than television....

While few consoles have written the final word on their legacies so early in their lifecycles, it’s rare that a console gets to make a successful second impression after a bad launch. A console’s debut not only sets the tone for the rest of its run, but it tells you whether or not it’s worth actually investing in an expensive new platform. Since we were lucky enough to receive a PlayStation 5 from Sony, we’re going to help you answer that question by breaking down nearly every facet of the PS5....

“The first thing I would like to say is that I respect every competitor’s decision and their philosophies,” says Ryan. “One thing that can be said is that if you look at the history of the game business, creating a special low priced, reduced spec console is something that has not had great results in the past. We’ve considered that option and seen other executives who have attempted this discover how problematic it is....

Almost everyone who played Pokémon Sword and Shield has a horror story about exploring the Wild Area and encountering a Pokémon 20 levels higher than their team. Alpha Pokémon are the next evolution in that concept. You can always identify an Alpha by its towering height and glowing red eyes, which means you can avoid them if you feel like it. Actually, you probably should avoid them as much as possible since Alpha Pokémon are some of the powerful creatures in the game....

We caught up with Steers last summer at San Diego Comic Con to talk all things Pride and Prejudice and Zombies… On how the project came about… “[Pride and Prejudice and Zombies] was actually something I knew was out there because a lot of people had taken shots at trying to get it made,” said Steers. (The project was first announced in 2009 with Natalie Portman attached for the lead, and with David O....

Hence in what might be the best evidence yet of blockbuster hits like Joker, Knives Out, and Ford v Ferrari competing against the generally expected Oscar frontrunners, all three were nominated for the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures (Best Picture in all but name). Those three crowd-pleasers join the slew of more traditional Best Picture nominees, including 1917 and Once Upon a Time, as well as The Irishman, Marriage Story, and Little Women....

The late Anne Rice reinvented vampires for a new generation on the page with her extensive series of novels. The immortal bloodsuckers of her Vampire Chronicles book series were provocative, dangerous, and boundary-shattering from the moment Interview with the Vampire was first published in 1976. The film adaptation of the same story was essentially produced due to overwhelming public demand. Directed by Neil Jordan, it was the 10th highest grossing movie of 1994, earning Warner Bros....

Having said that, Quibi is dead…Quibi is finally, blissfully dead. Undoubtedly the first big dud of the streaming era came to an ignominious end today when the Wall Street Journal reported that Quibi Holdings LLC will elect to shut itself down in the face of non-existent viewership, mounting debts, and a patent lawsuit or two. Quibi had previously been searching for a buyer to take on all its assets (and its debt) but had already been turned down by Apple, WarnerMedia, and Facebook – mostly because Quibi didn’t even own much of the content on its own servers....

It combines two or more disk storage arrays into logical units that behave like a single drive. This offers The grouping is implemented using software and hardware. In simple terms, RAID allows multiple hard drives to couple with a single larger storage capacity disk. Along with creating a larger storage space from numerous smaller drives, it also helps in different performance tasks, such as protection across drives to improve write and read speed and mirroring for data redundancy....

When did Laila Starr really start forming in your mind? I think I had come up with various versions of that story long before I even started writing comics, to be honest. There were early versions of short stories where it was “Krishna comes down to Earth!” and whatnot, but I suppose it really turned into Laila Starr when I had this kind of need to write about death, even as a teenager....

In any case, new Netflix horror anthology Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities presents eight unconnected tales of terror for viewers to experience. Even the folks behind the series understand that the diversity of options presented means that audiences will prefer some to others. “With anthologies, I think it just comes down to what your taste is,” Cabinet producer J. Miles Dale tells Den of Geek. “With this show I think there’s something for everybody – whether it’s a director’s vision, or the material, or the setting, or the actors, or the dialog, or the scares....

These days, you’d lose a metaphorical hand to a studio’s red lightsaber if you dished details on any major upcoming plot twists. Media training for interviews, fake scripts, and so much green screen that the actors couldn’t even really tell you what was happening on set if they tried are all extremely commonplace behind the scenes of the big franchises, so that invested audiences get to experience that collective shock when Cap wields Mjolnir, or J....

And now for the exclusive sneak peek… 1 I have a ball of starlight inside me. A globe, containing a billion bright pinpricks. It’s always been there, since I was a baby—but lately I’ve been chewing up the inside of my own mouth waiting for it to burst out of me. Sometimes I feel all these little suns whirling, like they’re getting ready to emerge from the hollow of my collarbone....

It creates a duplicate entry, which is not suitable for SEO. I noticed this when I analyzed my site with an SEO tool, thought to share it with you all. There are many ways to redirect non-www to www or www to non-www. Let’s look at some of the easiest ways to get this done. Apache HTTP If you are using an Apache HTTP server then you may either achieve this redirection through ....

Yes, fans of classic Resident Evil puzzles who lament the fact that recent installments in the franchise have largely abandoned those brain teasers from the original games will love Lady Dimitrescu’s castle and its surprising collection of mysteries that often require you to put down your gun and use your head. While few of the puzzles in Resident Evil Village are as devious as the franchise’s most complicated riddles, the puzzle in Lady Dimitrescu’s castle that requires you to find five bells is already giving some players a hard time....
