Then, to add salt to the wound, HBO announced that it would be removing Westworld from its streaming catalogue, and giving it to FAST, a third-party ad-supported…

The series feels like it lost its heart Overwatch is by far my most-played game of all time, clocking in somewhere in the 1,000+ hours mark over multiple accounts. I used to play with a team every night in college, and I got so close with those guys, I even went to one of their weddings. It was a huge part of my life for a long time, and then it just… wasn’t. The game started to change, my life got busier, and I simply moved on to other things. Every few months I would log back in for a match or two to reminisce, but I…

"A lot of this really happened," announces the opening card in David O Russell's Amsterdam, which is based on a nation's past that clearly tries to mirror residues in our present. A part of American history when fascists tried to overthrow the government becomes a social satire with broken people trying to solve a conspiracy should turn into an intelligent and entertaining drama given it is David O Russell who is at the helm of things. Or so you believe. (Also read: Lady Chatterley's Lover review: Emma Corrin leads a…

DCU fans are forming a protective circle around a semi-obscure baddie. Reddit user R-R-Remedy took to the r/DC_Cinematic subreddit to share their observations about the main antagonist in Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey (2020), “Completely forgot Black Mask was a thing in the DCEU let alone that he was played by Ewan McGregor, very disappointing interpretation in my opinion.” Black Mask first appeared in the Batman comics in 1985 as Roman Sionis, the childhood friend of Bruce Wayne.

Veteran tech journalist and co-host of the Pivot podcast Kara Swisher, who has written for New York magazine and The New York Times, retweeted Tuesday’s Semafor article that reported Musk had in May secretly asked Sam Bankman-Fried of now-bankrupt FTX to make a $10 billion investment in the now-private company.
