Pictures Perhaps it’s how loudly the film has made its ambitions as a DC Extended Universe revitalizer clear, or perhaps critics are just reluctant to give the DCEU the time of day. Whatever the reason, Black Adam doesn’t look to be off to the greatest start with critics, currently nesting an unfavorable 54 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. But critics look to be taking only a very small piece of the Black Adam pie in the wider scope of things; from Dwayne Johnson having poured…

Duke Fakir, the last surviving founding member of the Four Tops, is reminiscing on the halcyon days of Detroit’s seminal soul music label as it made its mark on the 1960s. “Motown really did feel like a big family back then,” he says. “We all hung out, partied, played golf, held BBQs, appeared on one another’s records. Those were amazing times.”The Temptations’ Otis Williams agrees: “Motown was no happenstance. God brought that up to start. Detroit, Michigan, was known for the big three – General Motors, Ford and…

Because, or perhaps in spite of, this information, there are a number of people out there who simply think it’s a terrible movie. Whether or not you agree with this seemingly unearned take doesn’t really matter to horror fans on the subreddit r/horror, who rushed to defend the movie after a user tried to excoriate it by calling it “just rubbish.” “I tried watching the exorcist the…

via Warner Bros. Pictures The DCEU is a bit messy. As one of the world’s biggest comic brands, DC has long been in fierce competition with Marvel. Their rivalry only intensified once both made their way into cinemas, and spawned a pair of on-screen universes that have persisted for years. Despite Marvel’s recent downtick in quality, with releases like Multiverse of Madness and Thor: Love and Thunder failing to impress as much as other Marvel flicks, the MCU is inarguably several tiers above its DC competitor. DC…

Peiter “Mudge” Zatko, the former Twitter security chief who has alleged that the company covered up negligent security practices and lied to regulators about data management, was a credible, capable, and brutally honest security expert, according to peers and colleagues. The assessment of Zatko’s work and character — culled from public messages of support and recollections shared directly with The Verge — is at odds with statements made by current Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal, who has claimed that Zatko is presenting a…

via Disney If you ever need concrete evidence as to why the video game genre is regularly labeled as cursed, then look no further than the fact the two most recent movies to hold the title of highest-grossing console-to-screen adaptation ever made both ended up losing money. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time even held onto the record for six years before Warcraft arrived, and yet neither of them turned a single penny of profit during their respective theatrical runs. It was blatantly obvious that producer…

Around half of firms don't have the technology to prevent or detect ransomware attacks, according to research by cybersecurity company Trend Micro. It suggests that many organisations don't have the cybersecurity capabilities required to prevent ransomware attacks, such as the ability to detect phishing emails, remote desktop protocol (RDP) compromise or other common techniques deployed by cyber attackers during ransomware campaigns.  For example, the report warns that many organisations struggle with detecting the…

Two days after the upcoming DC Extended Universe film Batgirl was unceremoniously cancelled, the studio Warner Bros Discovery has defended its decision.

Fans were up and arms on social media as they defended Miles Morales due to people not recognizing him as Spider-Man. According to them, Morales has every right to be called or identified as Spider-Man, not just by his real name. This all started when Twitter user @RonaldC0525 shared images of Miles Morales and Sam Wilson and called them by their superhero name. These two continued on the superhero name after their predecessors passed away. And, while most people were supportive, some were not up all for…
