While there’s been no shortage of Lady Dimitrescu memes in the months leading up to Resident Evil Village‘s release, it’s funny to think that all of the game’s trailers, previews, and demos barely told us anything about the sequel’s actual plot. We knew it would star Ethan Winters, we knew it involved a creepy village filled with retro horror threats, and we knew the internet was desperate for the attention of tall vampire ladies everywhere, but many of the most important questions about the game’s lore remained unanswered....

Riverdale Episode 13 As the first season of Riverdale comes to a dramatic close, the lives of Archie and his pals and gals are forever changed. Fred Andrews is dead (probably), Archie and Veronica have slept together, Cheryl has torched Thornhill, Jughead has become a South Side Serpent. The time of carefree nights packed with drinking milkshakes at Pop’s is now a memory…especially since the gang’s safe haven is now a crime scene....

One of the most fascinating elements, though, is the extended dream sequence which falls in the middle of the film as serves as a bit of surrealist comedy, a hinge point building up to the third act denouement of the reunion itself but also as a clever moment which hammers home the point of what this movie is, and crucially, what it is not. To recap, Romy (Mira Sorvino) and Michele (Lisa Kudrow) are on their way to Sagebrush High and get into a fight, ostensibly over Post-its and who is the “Mary” and who is the “Rhoda”… They agree to separate once they reach Tucson and presumably at some point after this Michele falls asleep in the car....

One major character from the first two seasons, though, is something of an exception. Mutt Schitt, played by Tim Rozon, disappears after the first episode of season 3 and only pops back for a guest appearance at the end of season 4. In real life Rozon was cast in a major role in the show Wynonna Earp – he plays Doc Holliday, the cursed, ageless former partner of famous lawman Wyatt Earp, who goes on to father a child with Wyatt’s great-great-granddaughter Wynonna....

No matter where you or your learners are, you can make your content accessible to them. But what if you don’t follow SCORM? You might have to spend so much of your time and money on your content to change its settings or design and make it compatible with other systems and use cases. But if your LMS and content are SCORM compliant, you can avoid these issues. In this article, I’ll discuss what SCORM is and how it’s beneficial....

The announcement reunites Cox with David Arquette, who is playing the role of Dewey Riley in the new film, making him another mainstay across all five films. This leaves Neve Campbell as the remaining major cast member from the original film who’s yet to officially sign onto the sequel, though she’s confirmed she’s at least had talks about playing Sidney Prescott once more. “We can’t imagine Scream without the iconic Gale Weathers and are so incredibly thrilled and humbled to have the opportunity to work with Courteney,” horror filmmaking group Radio Silence said in a statement....

We will learn about their fundamental differences. The main aim is to know which protocol should be used under different circumstances. These two protocols (a set of rules or procedures for transmitting data between electronic devices, such as computers) have similar names. The location of the S in each acronym influences how these protocols work. Both protocols successfully send your data, but they are significantly different. SFTP vs. FTPS: Which Protocol to Use?...

Shameless Season 11 Episode 10 “Why is everybody running? Nobody is chasing you fuckers.” Shameless was designed to reflect a more unpolished and realistic class of society that often gets overlooked or marginalized. It’s a show that sets out to humanize the alleged derelicts of society and showcase the grounded and prevalent difficulties that plague these types of people. Shameless has done an excellent job at representation towards lower class families and communities for over a decade, which makes it so thoroughly perplexing that as Shameless heads into its final episodes that a major plot revolves around the Gallaghers disposing of Edward Hopper’s iconic Nighthawks painting to avoid federal incarceration....

The start of the show is actually very funny with much of the humour derived from the balance between this adorable child (played by Albie and Arthur Hills) who actually physically does nothing other than ‘be a cute baby’, and smart-mouthed Tasha who slowly realizes the tot’s legacy and power and calls him all the names under the sun. Later Tasha and the mysterious Mrs Eaves (Amira Ghazalla), trip over themselves in the world of yummy mummies, cults and fraught friendships to try to stop the precious angel’s reign of terror....

The movie opens with Snake Eyes as a boy, long before he becomes the wordless warrior fans know and love. He and his dad are on vacation at their family cabin when a group of militarized mercenaries led by a scraggly super-goon captures his father and forces him to literally gamble for his life by rolling a pair of dice. The old man, of course, rolls snake eyes (two ones) and is executed, albeit not before the kid is able to escape....

It’s been a long time since we’ve been to the movies and an even longer time since we’ve seen a ninja flick on the big screen. Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins is a dazzling return to the underrated ninja genre – a breakout premiere in the shadow of the pandemic. Ninja films rarely earn a theatrical showing anymore. They are pigeon-holed as B-grade movie fodder, and justifiably so. Back in the 1980, ninja films proliferated when second and third-run movie theaters ruled....

This time, it was the abrupt (but not unsurprising) removal of Warner Bros.’ Tenet and Disney’s Mulan from the release calendar that prompted the latest game of studio dominoes. With both of those films disappearing from 2020 and moving to 2021, it means that even the biggest of franchises need to make accommodations, and that includes Marvel and Sony’s currently untitled Spider-Man 3. Originally scheduled for July 16, 2021, Spider-Man 3 moved to Nov....

Star Trek: Discovery Episode 6 Like many TV shows, Star Trek series have always taken a bit of time to find their narrative footing. Hopefully, we will look back on the beginning of Star Trek: Discovery as the slightly confused period before the show really took flight. Right now, unfortunately, it increasingly feels like we’re watching a show that thinks it’s in its second season. While not without its delights, Discovery is making narrative choices as if we already know and care about these characters enough to follow their unlikeable, erratic behavior....

Star Trek: Discovery Season 4 Episode 7 Star Trek: Discovery heads into its mid-season break with the strongest episode of Season 4 since its premiere, an hour that puts Burnham and Book at odds over foundational questions about the very things the Federation and Starfleet try to do and be. This is, not for nothing, my absolute favorite kind of Star Trek, a story about the necessary, inescapable conflicts between hope and pragmatism, philosophy and realism, politics and practicality....

As well as bringing talent to the field, The Twilight Zone was also notable for using science fiction allegory as a way to talk about political and social issues that advertisers and censors would otherwise not touch with a ten-foot pole. In steps Gene Roddenberry, with a concept he describes as “a wagon train to the stars.” His opening pitch is “Action – Adventure – Science Fiction. The first such concept with strong central lead characters plus other continuing regulars....

The Book of Boba Fett Episode 5 Finally, The Book of Boba Fett gets good…by becoming a different show entirely. You could watch this episode completely independently, as a bridge between season two of The Mandalorian and the upcoming season three. The shift shines an even bigger light on Boba’s lack of an arc within his own show, but it’s hard to complain when Bryce Dallas Howard‘s direction on the usual Jon Favreau script brings so much entertainment....

As the Emperor says at one point in The Rise of Skywalker, this will be the final word in the story of Skywalker. After eight movies’ worth of adventures across the galaxy far, far away, it all comes down to a final battle on Exegol, the secret planet of the Sith, where a resurgent Emperor Palpatine has waited 30 years to set his master plan into motion. It’s on this planet of lightning and smoke that Rey, Ben Solo, the Resistance, and the Final Order converge, all according to Palpatine’s design....

Twelve episodes later, Cassian is at a crossroads on Andor. After murdering two Pre-Mor officers and fleeing capture on Ferrix, things haven’t gotten any easier for our protagonist. Although he hoped to enjoy an extended vacation on the party planet of Niamos after pulling off the heist on Aldhani, he soon witnesses firsthand the terrible atrocities being committed by the Empire under the galaxy’s very nose in the prison on Narkina 5....

Throughout the ’90s, other books like The Truce at Bakura by Kathy Tyers, The Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy by K.W. Jeter, and the X-Wing novels by Michael A. Stackpole and Aaron Allston explored what the galaxy was like directly after the fall of the Empire. There was also The Courtship of Princess Leia by Dave Wolverton, which finally gave Star Wars fans a key moment in the timeline that had been missing: the events that led to Han and Leia getting married four years after the trilogy’s climactic battle....

Operating under an “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” mantra, Stranger Things season 4 is absolutely packed with ’80s-set science fiction, horror, and adventure. Once again, our heroic kids from Hawkins (with a few of them now relocated to Lenora Hills, California) must confront a mystery from the Upside Down. In this case, who is this demonic wizard Vecna and why is he so hopelessly addicted to breaking human bodies?...
