‘Am I still any good? Have I still got it?’: PJ Harvey on doubt, desire and deepest, darkest Dorset | PJ Harvey

Star power is a rare thing in music today, stripped away by social media overexposure and a heritage industry that trades on former glories. But PJ Harvey has an otherworldly air as she walks into a restaurant at the Barbican in London for one of her first interviews about her music in more than a decade. A thunderstorm has broken the June heatwave, and Harvey, 53, had to shelter under a ledge to keep dry on her way here. Still, Harvey looks pristine in a black vest and tiny black leather shorts, her famous dark hair in…

Ryan Reynolds Casts Doubt on a ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ Sequel

Image via Paramount Sorry, fans of the recent Dungeons & Dragons movie, I have some bad news for you. That little glimmer of hope for a sequel has diminished somewhat as Ryan Reynolds’ new movie all but confirms we won’t be seeing a follow-up to the critical hit anytime soon. According to Deadline we have the Deadpool star to blame for our lack of a sequel — or rather, him and actor/director Kenneth Branagh. The pair are reportedly starring alongside one another in Mayday, an upcoming Apple TV Plus Original…

‘Constantine 2’ Producer’s Lack Of Knowledge About The Film’s Status Casts Further Doubt On It Actually Happening

Image via Warner Bros. The fate of the long-awaited Constantine 2 is as uncertain as John Constantine’s own in the struggle between heaven and hell. Of course, it’s more like the struggle between art and commerce behind the scenes, but we’re happy to stick to the metaphor to avoid always reporting on commerce winning. Unfortunately, the sequel’s chances for release are even murkier now that its producer has weighed in. During an interview with ComicBook.com, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura said he isn’t sure…

This startup says its first fusion plant is five years away. Experts doubt it.

Plasma and pulses While the fission reactions that power traditional nuclear power plants split atoms apart, fusion works by forcing them together, under extremely high  temperatures, to overcome the usual repulsive forces of atoms in close proximity. That produces a new atom minus a little bit of mass, the loss of which generates a whole lot of energy. Most other labs and startups rely on powerful lasers or doughnut-shaped machines surrounded by powerful magnets, known as tokamaks, to create the conditions in which a…

Supreme Court to Reconsider Precedent Giving Federal Agencies Benefit of Doubt

WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court said Monday it would reconsider a 1984 precedent some conservatives have argued grants too much power to federal regulators by directing courts to defer to an agency’s legal approach when Congress has left the statutory language ambiguous.  The precedent, Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council, initially helped the Reagan administration fend off challenges from environmentalists. In more recent years, conservative legal groups have argued that federal judges should…

Sony Casts Doubt on PlayStation Momentum With Cagey Outlook

Sony Group Corp. offered a conservative profit outlook for the current fiscal year, warning about the impact of the global consumer spending slump on its electronics and entertainment businesses. The Tokyo-based firm said it expects operating income of ¥1.17 trillion ($8.7 billion) in the year ending March 2024, below average analyst estimates of ¥1.27 trillion. This was largely down to its PlayStation division, where Sony's guidance fell short of consensus and the company said it expects fewer sales of PlayStation…
