Absurdly

When Kasabian sacked their singer, Tom Meighan, the day before he was convicted for assaulting his partner, bandmate Serge Pizzorno stepped up from the ranks as a readymade replacement. The dark-featured, bearded guitarist has always been pivotal to the band’s image and joie de vivre, and his 2019 solo album and tour gave him a chance to test out his skills as frontman.Here, the man who once scored a perfect volleyed goal on live TV while wearing winkle-picker shoes isn’t fazed by the prospect of facing a vast arena. He…

via 20th Century Fox James Wan might have dipped his toes into blockbuster waters to multi-billion dollar success with Fast & Furious 7 and the DCEU’s Aquaman franchise, but his career had already long since marked him out as a first-ballot candidate for entry into the horror hall of fame. Prior to his big budget excursions, the filmmaker did broaden his creative horizons with an old-school vigilante thriller, but 2007’s Death Sentence arguably remains the most unheralded entry in his back catalogue. Having…

via Sony By its very nature, the blockbuster action thriller tends to operate outside of any noticeable sense of tangible reality, but even then, 2009’s The International stretched things so far past the limits of credulity that critics and audiences ended up losing interest. The $50 million genre flick topped out with just $60 million at the box office, with respective critical and audience scores of 58 and 37 percent possibly hinting as to why paying customers never showed much interest, despite the film…

After a hearing on discovery requests from lawyers representing both Elon Musk and Twitter, Judge Kathaleen McCormick gave a firm “no” to the Musk team’s “absurdly broad” request in favor of a much smaller set of information. However, Twitter must hand over some additional data relating to how it calculates the “monetizable daily active users” (mDAU) statistic and its associated bot activity estimate that Musk argues is fraudulent. Musk’s lawyers wanted “all of the data Twitter might possibly store for each of the…

As the Apple TV+ docuseries Prehistoric Planet draws to a close after its five-day extravaganza, the show's final episode comes with another new promo video — this one focusing on the absurdly small arms that some dinosaurs boasted. This promo, likely to be the final one of these longer videos, takes a look at what use such small appendages could have been. They were too small to carry and hold things, but that doesn't mean that they were completely useless. The show, hosted by Sir David Attenborough, believes the arms…

“It’s not for everyday driving, obviously,” Michael Manning says as he stands in front of the 100-foot-long (30.5-meter) car that he helped to restore. It’s hard to disagree. After all, can you imagine trying to park this thing outside Walmart, or visiting a drive-thru, or attempting a three-point turn, or going just about anywhere in it? Awkward driving maneuvers aside, the super-stretched limo, which comprises six Cadillac Eldorados, has just been awarded a Guinness World Record. We don’t need to tell you which…
