Natalie Portman Reveals How She Grew a Foot Taller for ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’

It would be a different world without the power of movie magic; we would’ve been deprived of Jurassic Park‘s dinosaurs, horror productions would probably have more waivers to sign, and Natalie Portman may have remained at chest-level with Chris Hemsworth despite her new mantle as the Mighty Thor in Thor: Love and Thunder. It’s no secret that the exercise and nutrition portion of the process is a mainstay when it comes to preparing for superhero roles in the MCU, but Portman presented an interesting challenge for…

MSI launches Liberator programmable gaming foot pedal

The classic keyboard and mouse setup is a tried-and-true staple of gaming, but it means there are two other appendages slacking off under the desk – your feet. Gaming brand MSI is now launching the Liberator, a programmable foot pedal that can be used for any action in any game.The Liberator has three buttons within easy reach of a foot resting on it.

Anger Foot might be Devolver Digital’s most unhinged game yet

Welcome to Shit City (literally that’s the name of the city) After a busy day of Summer Game Festing, I’m pretty much spent, but leave it to Devolver Digital (and Suda) to supercharge my brain for a bit with another chaotic showcase. On one extreme, we saw the adorable 2D-meets-3D storybook adventure The Plucky Squire — and on the other, there was Anger Foot, a face-kicking action game for sickos. The first gameplay glimpse from developer Free Lives (Broforce, GORN, Terra Nil) looks unhinged. I’m talking “Academy Award…

Ms. Marvel had so many Iron Man Easter eggs, Kevin Feige had to put his foot down

It’s almost June, which means we’ll soon see Ms. Marvel hit Disney Plus. Like Moon Knight before it, Ms. Marvel delivers a brand new Marvel superhero, a character we haven’t seen before. But unlike Moon Knight, the Ms. Marvel origin story should deliver plenty of MCU Easter eggs. That much is clear from the trailers and TV spots. It turns out that Iron Man might have been at the center of many MCU references in the show. But Marvel boss Kevin Feige had to shoot them down. Before we continue, we’ll warn you that…

What happens to the foot soldiers of the meme trading revolution?

Fintech is in its flop era, and it would be funny, except that it’s dragging real people down with it. It’s true that stocks are down generally — the S&P 500 has fallen 10 percent in the last 30 days, the Nasdaq is down 14 percent, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 6.5 percent. But fintech is, by comparison, down bad. Coinbase dropped almost two-thirds in the last 30 days. Block, the Jack Dorsey-led company formerly known as Square, fell by 40 percent. PayPal shares dropped by a third. Robinhood has…
