Researchers from Baylor, Rice, and the University of Houston analyzing the best-known cryptocurrency’s early days found that, among other things, the “wealth, income, and resources in the bitcoin community were highly centralized,” and that new data analysis techniques have the ability to “de-anonymize” users.While the study…

Snow reason for this For whatever reasons, Snow Bros. rented space in my brain as a youth. I think a cabinet was only briefly available in my hometown’s hockey arena, but a brief sight of it was enough to get me itching for more time with it. Why were the longest-running cabinets in that arena Altered Beast and Pang? I wanted to find a home version of it, but the only one I would have had access to was for the NES, and my family traded ours away when I was very young. That doesn’t mean much, though. Like many kids, I was…

Loyalty can do wonderful things when you’re in the entertainment business. However, that sort of trust can only carry you so far, and those limits have apparently been tested over at Warner Bros. With new CEO David Zaslav trying to trim the fat, and cancelling the production of upcoming movies at the studio, his no-nonsense approach to running the company is in full effect. Which is why he allegedly wasn’t very happy when he found out that Clint Eastwood’s flop Cry Macho was made despite executives thinking it wouldn't…

New Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav is no different, and according to Deadline, under the microscope is a multi-million dollar deal with J. J. Abrams’ production company, Bad Robot, which Warners’ brass feel is too slow in producing shows for HBO Max that…

Ahead of the trailer launch for The Grey Man, filmmaker duo Russo Brothers shared the character posters for its lead cast – Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans and Ana deArmas – on Instagram. However, the film also stars Indian actor Dhanush in a small role, and his omission from the post did not sit well with his fans.

After the middling box office performance of Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, the future of the franchise is unclear. While Fantastic Beasts 4 isn’t a sure thing, Warner Bros. certainly doesn't seem to have given up on new Wizarding World of Harry Potter projects, and reportedly they are set meet with J.K Rowlding in the near future. HBO Max subscribers, you’re going to want to hear this.  The main mover and shaker that’s supposedly going all in on Rowling’s creations, per the Wall Street Journal, is…

Let’s just get this out of the way: there’s very little that’s original about MultiVersus, an upcoming free-to-play fighting game. It is, very clearly, designed to be like Super Smash. Bros., only with Warner Bros. characters in place of those from Nintendo and other classic video games. This means that instead of Super Mario getting beat up by Sephiroth, you have Shaggy and Wonder Woman teaming up to fight Arya Stark and Bugs Bunny in the Batcave. It’s strange and crass but also feels right at home in a world of…
