doomed

In 2019, an American novelist of slender renown named CJ Hauser scored a viral hit with an essay about calling off her wedding and embarking on an ornithological field trip. The Crane Wife described a relationship in which she was cheated on more than once, though what finally brought her to her senses was the realisation that she couldn’t sustain the ludicrously “low-maintenance” persona demanded by her husband-to-be. On one occasion, he even presented her with a blank birthday card, explaining that it could be filed…

via Lionsgate/DC Films Ryan Reynolds has been open since the beginning when it came to embracing the failure of Green Lantern, which went down in a ball of critical and commercial flames, before going on to become the butt of countless jokes ever since, the majority of which came from the star himself. On the other side of the coin, David Harbour tried to defend his awful Hellboy reboot at first, and even shifted the blame for the diabolical disaster’s poor reviews and catastrophic box office failure on…

Thanks in no small part to the fossil-fueled cult of obstructionism, we’re on track to blow past the 1.5 degrees Celsius global-warming threshold laid out in the 2016 Paris Agreement. Without sweeping change, we can expect “more melting ice, higher sea levels, more heatwaves and other extreme weather,” per the World Meteorological Organization. And that’ll only be the beginning. The scientific community has made its demands clear, but emissions are still rising, politicians are failing to act,…

For many years, the computing power of the PC depended on the investment made in it. The more expensive it was, the higher performance it had so that it could run more demanding hardware games. But as the game system requirements increase yearly, such hardware investment also depreciates rapidly. Moreover, hardware is in short supply, which is not getting better. But when it becomes better, it costs a lot. But there is a solution. You don't have to think about how weak or powerful your PC is with cloud gaming. You choose…

No offense to David Yates, who’s proven himself to be not just a highly competent filmmaker but the fifth highest-grossing director in the history of cinema, but at this stage of his career he’s pretty much “the Wizarding World guy” and little else. Having made his feature debut on low budget British drama The Tichborne Claimant in 1998, he wouldn’t step back behind the camera on another movie for almost a decade. When he did, Yates found his comfort zone and then some, going on to helm the final four installments in the…

Without question, Sunday night’s Oscars were the ugliest in history. By physically assaulting a performer onstage, Will Smith managed to cause irreparable damage to the ceremony. And the outright failure of the show’s producers and guests to chastise Smith, or even fully acknowledge his attack, has thrown the entire Academy into disrepute. However, if you squint hard enough and look at it from just the right angle, it might have been just the thing that the Oscars needed.First, some perspective. This year’s Oscars needed…
