Fan Floats Weird and Pretty Disgusting Theory Regarding Catwoman

Image via Warner Bros. An explosive new Batman theory on the Fan Theories subreddit speculates on the source of Catwoman’s powers in the 1992 Tim Burton disappointment Batman Returns, and the most shocking thing about it is that someone is still thinking about Batman Returns 30 years after it was released. In the film, Michelle Pfeiffer played Selina Kyle, whose transformation into the original Crazy Cat Lady was triggered by some TLC from alley cats after Christopher Walken’s Max Schrek pushed her out of a…

‘I haven’t got a pretty face’: Brendan Gleeson on fame, middle age and tapping into his mean side | Brendan Gleeson

The initial plan was to interview Brendan Gleeson in central Dublin. A chat over lunch in a local pub or restaurant, then a few photos of him in his element. His agents politely point out this is not ideal. Why not? “Because he’s Brendan Gleeson!” He can no more walk around the centre of Dublin incognito and uninterrupted than could Bono, or the pope.So our rendezvous is relocated to a seafood restaurant at the end of a fishing pier in a village outside Dublin. But even here, within seconds of Gleeson posing for…

Dr. Scott Gottlieb says rising monkeypox cases suggest it’s spread ‘pretty wide’

The rising number of monkeypox cases in the U.S. and Europe suggest the virus has already spread widely across communities, but it won't likely cause a major epidemic like Covid, Pfizer board member and former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb told CNBC on Friday. “Now that there’s been community spread, it may be hard to fully snub this out. I don't think it's going to become a major epidemic because this is a virus that's difficult to spread,” Gottlieb said on “Squawk Box.”Monkeypox is a rare viral illness that begins…

‘A pretty big deal’: U.S. makes COVID-19 technologies available for use in developing countries | Science

The U.S. government has agreed to put licenses for 11 medical technologies developed at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) into a so-called patent pool, a move that promises to make it easier for low- and middle-income countries to gain access to vaccines, drugs, and diagnostics for COVID-19. President Joe Biden made the announcement yesterday at the Global COVID-19 Summit. The government cut a deal to provide the federally funded inventions with the COVID-19 Technology…

My streaming gem: why you should watch I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House | Film

There wasn’t a lot of Shirley Jackson in Haunting of Hill House, Netflix’s sensationally scary but very loose adaptation of the prolific American suspense writer’s most famous novel. Mike Flanagan, who wrote and directed the miniseries, drew clearer inspiration from a different master of the macabre – the King, instead of the queen, of bestselling horror fiction. For a closer approximation of Jackson’s uniquely unsettling voice, that gift she had for raising the hairs on the back of a reader’s neck, look instead to a more…

Xbox’s new wireless controller is pretty in pink

Microsoft has unveiled the newest color for the Xbox Series X/S Wireless Controller line, and I must say: It’s pretty in pink. Or shall I say, Deep Pink. The company revealed the new color on Tuesday — a day earlier than the Plastics clique in Mean Girls would’ve wanted — and fans are falling head over heels for its sleek, punk rock-like design. The rosy pink top case and its analog sticks contrast beautifully with the white back panel as well as with the black face buttons, D-pad, triggers, and bumpers. The Deep…
