Talk about timing! With the conclusion of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier on Disney+, Marvel wasted no time in revealing the next project that will spotlight Anthony Mackie’s newly minted Captain America. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that The Falcon and the Winter Soldier showrunner Malcolm Spellman is co-writing a currently-untitled Captain America 4 with another FWS alum, Dalan Musson. There’s no director attached, and no other details available just yet, but it does raise some interesting possibilities right out of the gate....

Gillespie says that the way the soundtrack was used in I, Tonya was an element that Sean Bailey, Disney president of production, wanted to deploy in similar fashion for Cruella. “When Sean pitched it to me, he talked about the tracks from I, Tonya and how they wanted to really embrace music with this,” Gillespie explains. “So I warned them up front that there was going to be a huge bill for this....

To be transparent, I will admit that I previously compared Elden Ring‘s hype to Cyberpunk 2077‘s hype, and I will stand by that warning. We should all be aware by now that there is no such thing as a guaranteed great game, and we should all prepare ourselves for the ways the nature of the development process (as well as the unique challenges of pandemic-era game development) can make even the most promising games fall well short of their potential....

It’s easy enough to look at photos of scalpers hoarding PS5s and feel a sense of outrage, but there’s always been some reasonable doubt regarding how much of an impact these resellers actually have. There are some who suspect that scalpers are little more than a few people who managed to beat the system. However, new information regarding the methods of these reseller groups suggests that the problem is actually much bigger than that....

Meanwhile, Butcher (Karl Urban), Hughie (Jack Quaid), Annie a.k.a. Starlight (Erin Moriarty), Mother’s Milk (Laz Alonso), Frenchie (Tomer Capon) and Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) take a road trip to the Sage Grove Center, a facility Annie stumbled across on Stormfront’s laptop. They discover the institution serves as a testing ground, where reluctant subjects are being injected with Compound-V… to varying results. To further complicate matters, former Seven member Lamplighter (Shawn Ashmore) had been recruited to keep the patients in line – or roast the unruly alive with his fiery powers....

Probably before all of that. Have you seen The Empty Man? Prior and the former executive vice president of production at Fox, Mark Roybal, really wanted you to. The pair knew they were embarking on delivering a unique and ambitious horror movie, and Roybal was its studio champion – instrumental to getting that important initial greenlight. But during the final week of production when filming had to be halted due to bad weather, Roybal was out at Fox, and the behind the scenes struggles to get the film finished and released began....

The majority of changes made by screenwriter David Farr to the source material for Sky’s new adaptation of The Midwich Cuckoos were tweaks rather than departures. In the seven-part series, Midwich is no longer a remote country village, but a commuter town within easy reach of London. Its lead character isn’t erudite author Gordon Zellaby, but child psychiatrist and single mother Dr Susannah Zellaby, played by Keeley Hawes. Book narrator Richard Gayford and his wife Janet are absent, replaced by new characters Zoe (Aisling Loftus), Sam and DCI Paul Haynes, played by Max Beesley....

“When the Jews return to Zion and a comet rips the sky and the Holy Roman Empire rises; then you and I must die. From the eternal sea he rises, creating armies on either shore, turning man against brother, ’til man exists no more” is pure fiction, from the mind of writer David Seltzer. Following soon after The Exorcist in 1973, which was a massive commercial and critical success and was nominated for 10 Oscars, The Omen was seen by some as a bit of a cash-in, with both films featuring devilish kids, the perversion of the relationship between parents and children, as well as religious and demonic paranoia....

Cookies are basically small files that websites store on your phone or computer that help them remember your information from the last visit, in order to save you time and serve you better. For example, an online shopping store might want to store cookies on your device to remember what was left in your shopping cart so that you don’t have to start afresh next time. It also gives the websites a better idea of your activity and the things that you prefer in order for them to suggest those things, making your browsing experience very personalized....

Excel functions exist to make things easier. Concatenate is one such text function primarily about displaying multiple cell values in one. However, Concatenate is slowly going obsolete and has been replaced by Concat since Excel 2016. Still, it works fine, and there is no difference a user can spot for now. But still, there are some advantages of Concat over the outdated Concatenate that we will see at last. Besides, we will check out Textjoin as an alternative to both....

Scrum has long been a popular software development framework that enables your project team to work together and complete the project on time. Due to its utility in productivity and efficiency in project management, other industries have also adopted the Scrum framework. Not all project managers can apply the Scrum methodology. You must go through specific international accreditation to apply Scrum in projects. Once certified, you earn the academic title of Scrum Master....

CSP is one of the OWASP’s top 10 secure headers and often recommended by security experts or tools to implement it. There are many options to build the policy to enforce how you want to expose your web resources. One of the directives called frame-ancestors which were introduced in CSP version 2 gives more flexibility compared to the X-Frame-Options header. frame-ancestors works in the same fashion as the X-Frame-Options to allow or disallow the resources getting embedded using iframe, frame, object, embed, and applet element....

You have several options for gaining insight into the productivity of regular staff, but remote working is a different ball game. There’s always been a growing trend of businesses switching to remote workers. Now, the COVID-19 pandemic has finally made it somewhat essential and no longer a luxury for most corporations. Brick-and-mortar businesses have begun to find ways to serve their customers while social distancing. However, most organizations have gone entirely or partially remote....

There are various steps involved, such as understanding the need, designing, testing, refining, and the app’s final release. Some of the web apps we see were somehow complex to comprehend during the development process. Luckily, when complex processes, ideas, or concepts are visualized, it becomes easy to digest them. User Stories are an essential ingredient in the software development journey as it helps describe its features visually and prioritize items or stories that need developing....

Part traditional teen drama, part ‘90s-set horror movie, and part modern-day mystery, Yellowjackets is a deliciously clever and disturbingly entertaining survival thriller that doubles as a rather deft exploration of the complex inner lives of teenage girls. The end result is something completely unlike anything else on TV at the moment, which explains the slow and steady drumbeat of genuine buzz (pun intended) that’s been building around it since its November premiere....

Rebel Moon’s very title may sound like a mishmash of Star Wars concepts, and that seems to be by its very design. That’s because the project is essentially a repurposed platform for a story Snyder conceived a decade ago for a pre-Disney pitch to Lucasfilm for what the director described as “a mature” take on the space epic set a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Now, Snyder is set to direct his own Star Wars-esque adventure, which will work off a screenplay he will co-write with familiar collaborators Shay Hatten and Kurt Johnstad....

The inclusion of next-generation technology like the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), big data, etc., to grow business demands scalability and flexibility. However, limited options for virtual computing, like the costly private or risky public cloud, are not dependable to accelerate innovation and growth. You will need help to configure your servers, networks, and storage to sync with virtual computing while your competitors will get the product to market or start deploying services before you....

Unfortunately, however, conspiracy theory thinking has run amok in the digital age. This has led to the mainstreaming of some truly dangerous ideas, like let’s say hypothetically, that a vaccine for a deadly virus is actually a microchip/population control device/mark of the best/whatever else. How does Shion Takeuchi (Gravity Falls, Disenchantment), creator of Netflix animated conspiracy comedy Inside Job, feel about these developments? “I’ll tell you what: I don’t love it!...

5.2 Death Be Not Proud If last week’s episode was a generous half hour’s entertainment for the general public, then Death Be Not Proud was one for the fans. Not Inside No. 9 fans, but Psychoville fans, devotees who’ve been clamouring for the black comedy to return since it ended almost a decade ago. Return it has, in the form of this surprise crossover featuring none-more-dysfunctional mother-son duo Maureen and David Sowerbutts....

Interview with the Vampire Episode 7 Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire’s season 1 finale is a vast departure from the novel but makes for exciting horror TV. The episode hits all the beats of the page, but exchanges the locales for more cinematic settings, and keeps its options open. “The Thing Lay Still” is laid out like a murder mystery, except the investigator is the most surprised person in the drawing room reveal....
